Chapter 116: The Farm Plan
Regarding Master Liu's return to the nursing home, Xu Yuelin didn't say much after knowing about it. She maintains respect for Master Liu, but it doesn't mean that she can meddle in his affairs.
A week passed quickly, and on the afternoon of this weekend, Xu Yuelin and they happened to be on vacation, and Gu Jingzhou, who had not seen him for a while, came to the noodle shop with a middle-aged man.
"This is Uncle Wang, and he will also be the chef of our store in the future." Gu Jingzhou introduced.
Uncle Wang is about thirty or forty years old, very young, but his temperament is very cold. Stopping there, it doesn't look like a pastry chef at all, but more like a bodyguard......
"Hello Uncle Wang!" After a few people said hello to each other, Uncle Wang went to the kitchen, and at the same time he also brought a boy with a delicate and shy face inside.
"This is Uncle Wang's apprentice, Wang Yiqing, and he will stay in the store in the future." Gu Jingzhou added.
"Oh~" Everyone said that they were also very welcome.
Because I knew that Uncle Wang was coming today, the store was not open. A few people sat on the table under the tree and chatted, and soon, Uncle Wang's noodles were on the table.
"Hey, it's cold!" Xu Yuelin saw that there was no heat floating in the bowl, and couldn't help touching the wall of the porcelain bowl, which felt cold to the touch.
"The noodles are so cold in your mouth!" Chen Hua, who couldn't wait to swallow a large mouthful of noodles, also shouted.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Isn't something cold in your mouth or hot? ”
"It's not that cold, you can taste it yourself." Chen Hua explained.
"Huh?"
Xu Yuelin glanced at each other, and then each picked a bite and ate it into their mouths. When the soft and firm noodles are swallowed in the stomach, they suddenly start to exude a cool feeling from the inside of the body.
"Huh? This feeling...... What's on this side? Xu Yuelin was a little surprised. She had never tasted this taste before.
"It's a lot like toothpaste. Uncle Wang, is it mint? Chen Ya looked at Uncle Wang, who was sitting opposite, and asked.
"Hmm." Uncle Wang nodded, "Now that the weather is hot, the mint is cool and dispels the heat, and when I kneaded the dough, I put mint leaf water." ”
"Great!" In a few words, Chen Hua had already gobbled up a large bowl of noodles, and then looked at Uncle Wang with a blank eye, "Can I have another bowl?" ”
“……”
One afternoon, Xu Yuelin and Chen Hua were resting on the sofa against the wall with their stomachs on their backs, while several boys were chatting while drinking drinks at the bar next to them.
It wasn't until the evening that Gu Jingzhou drove back to Shanghai, and Xu Yuelin and the others sent Master Wang and them to their residence, and then went back to school together.
The next day, because of the arrival of Uncle Wang and the launch of the summer cool series of noodles, the business of the store suddenly rose like a rocket. Gu Duan was worried that Uncle Wang was under too much pressure, so Uncle Wang only made eighty-eight bowls of noodles by himself every day, which was limited to supply, and sold eleven bowls per hour, and did not accept advance reservations.
Because of this rule, there are long queues again for diners who come every day.
"Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is so good!" Looking at the full number of diners inside, Xu Yuelin couldn't help but sigh. In the past few days, because there are fewer employees in the store, she has also followed to help serve dishes. It's a bit hard, but it's very fulfilling.
"General!" I don't know when, Uncle Wang has already stood by Xu Yuelin's side.
Xu Yuelin was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "General? ”
"Yes, the noodles I make now have a mediocre taste. It doesn't matter what the rest is, it's just that the ingredients don't work. For example, green noodles and spinach are grown in greenhouses, not to mention the problem of pesticide residues, most of them are produced by hormones. It looks bright and fresh in color, but the actual taste is empty and tastes like chewing wax. Not only spinach, but also other fruits and vegetables, and even the flour tastes wrong. If you can use raw ingredients, the taste of this noodle can definitely be half better. ”
I didn't expect Uncle Wang to mention this, he could say so many things in one breath, and sure enough, people are more cheerful in what they are good at.
No, I think it's crooked. Uncle Wang said that the taste of this noodle can be increased by half!
I'll go, it's so delicious now, raise it by half......
Xu Yuelin didn't want to think about it anymore, she was afraid that her saliva would be too flooding. However, it is a pity that it is not as good as the others, she is still very "kind" to inform Chen Hua, who is also busy enough on the side.
“!!!” The foodie couldn't help it, "Original ingredients!" Are you talking about Gu Jingzhou's kind? ”
Xu Yuelin's eyes lit up when she was reminded like this, "Yes, we can also build our own farm to play!" The fruits and vegetables are supplied directly to the store. What do you think? ”
"Not bad! Why don't we ask them for their opinions? ”
The two men agreed, pulled the other three aside, and gave the idea a rough idea. In the end, it came to the result, "This can be had." However, the money to build the farm will have to wait until the store starts to make a profit. Otherwise, it's not good to spread too big. ”
“OK!” According to the business of the store, it is only a matter of time before it becomes profitable.
The noodle shop is doing brisk business, but the Liu couple is a little miserable. The two restaurants are so close to each other, and the diners are all office workers in the surrounding area, and the customer source is almost fixed. The fame of the noodle shop has not yet been announced, so there are not many diners who come here. The two stores are equivalent to grabbing business. The business of the noodle shop is booming, so the Liu couple must be bleak.
During this period, the Liu couple were not distressed when they saw the business of the noodle shop turn around. But Master Liu refused to come back, and the husband and wife summed it up, and in order to save some costs, they simply cut corners, less noodles and more soup. In this way, the cost is lower, but the business is worse. Even some nearby office workers stopped eating noodles, and after a day or two, unlike the previous profits, the store began to move towards negative profits.
After Master Liu knew about this, he scolded Liu Dabao. But I still can't see my son's bleak ending, and I'm ready to help again. However, an incident happened that completely dispelled this idea.
Things are not too complicated, Xu Yuelin got meal coupons in advance at the beginning to give them to relatives and friends around her. And the elderly people in the nursing home also have it. On a rainy morning one day, Cai Xiaobing took the old people to eat noodles in a group. Chef Liu also knew that the noodle shop had a chef, so he also came to see the skills of the new chef.
This is unbelievable, and Chef Liu is staying in the noodle shop now. I want to go to the kitchen, but I don't think it's right, so I'm scratching my heart for a while. Xu Yuelin saw the reason and asked Uncle Wang if this skill could be passed on, but Uncle Wang answered casually, and then Master Liu returned to the kitchen and volunteered to start for free.
It is said that he has lived to learn all the time, and Master Liu has never felt that his craftsmanship is invincible in the world. And now when I meet this person whose skills are obviously much higher than my own, even if I am older than others, Master Liu is still very humble to ask for advice.
Master Liu's behavior made Liu Dabao very angry, and felt that the old father didn't care about his life or death at all. So I found an opportunity, found a noodle shop, and was ready to make a big fuss.
But after Master Liu knew that he was coming, he didn't say anything, and only brought a bowl of noodles out of the kitchen.
"Don't say anything yet, finish this bowl of noodles first." Master Liu said.
Liu Dabao's original thousands of complaints were speechless for a while when he saw the dust and frost on his old father's face. He took the bowl and began to eat noodles with his head down. But after two or three mouthfuls passed, they involuntarily slowed down the pace.
This side ......
This taste......
After taking another bite, Liu Dabao suddenly realized.
He finally knew why his father didn't help him, because it was useless to help him. In the face of such deliciousness, no amount of qiē is in vain.
"Now you understand!"
Lost his soul and left the noodle shop, Liu Dabao was a little confused. What is he doing all this time for?
Money? I didn't make it, I lost it.
But why is it losing? Obviously, I was prepared before, and I was still good at the beginning, why did I suddenly change all of a sudden?
"My son, you have to be single-minded and down-to-earth. Getting rich overnight is unreliable, and it is true that a trickle of water flows for a long time. Iron needs to be hard, do you think you have that ability now? Think about it, and come back to me when you figure it out. This is what Master Liu told him before he left.
Liu Dabao felt that there were some things that he had to think about more clearly.
In the summer of H City, the rain comes and goes quickly, and even if it is in time for the typhoon to pass, it can immediately become a sunny day, but it will rain almost every day.
Old Man Gu felt a little strange when he received the meal coupon sent by Xu Yuelin. But in the end, I looked at the date on it and came to the noodle shop. Who knew that when I was at the door of the noodle shop, I saw an old guy who I hadn't seen for many days, as well as Vice Mayor Chen.
When I thought of the relationship between their children, I immediately understood where today's coincidence came from.
After greeting each other, the three of them entered the store one after another. It was the afternoon, there were not many diners, and although the faces of the three people felt familiar, no one came forward to verify them. Gu Duan was the only one in the store, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly came forward to say hello.
"Didn't you say that your kid had been running away from home lately? Looking at the attitude of your grandfather and grandson, it doesn't look like an enemy is blushing when they meet! Cheng Lao teased.
"Huh." Old Man Gu only laughed, he was ready to give Lao Cheng a big "surprise" in the future!
It was the first time Chen Zhiyi had seen these two in an informal setting, but getting together was fate, the three of them sat down and chatted and waited, and when they came to the meeting, the relationship was a lot closer.
"That's good!" Cheng Lao Dao.
"Definitely. Can I pack it? I'd like to pack one and take it home. Chen Zhiyi wanted his wife at home to taste it too.
"Of course it works!" These are big guys, how could Gu Duan refuse, he still counted on these few of them to help with advertising. R1152
