★ More exciting readings are here, the official apex ★

At the entrance of the hotel, an old man with a gray head was looking at the covered sign above his head with some doubts.

He was really just passing by here, but he smelled a long-lost smell in his nose.

The smell made him go into a trance for a moment, and his mind recalled some images that he hadn't remembered for a long time.

After a moment's hesitation, the old man slowly walked forward, and finally pushed the door open.

Su Qiubai here had just finished calling Xia Rongrong and them, and he looked up to see how the things prepared by Niu Million were going, and when he smelled that fragrance in his nose, he felt that he couldn't help it.

As a result, a voice came to mind behind him.

"Excuse me, isn't this hotel open yet?"

Hearing this, as soon as Su Qiubai turned around, he saw a very ordinary old man with a smile on his face, which was very natural.

"Sorry, it's not open yet, are you going to eat?"

Su Qiubai smiled subconsciously, then took two steps forward and asked.

Hearing this, the old man's face obviously carried a trace of loss.

Seeing his expression, as well as his steps about to turn around, Su Qiubai suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Then I thought about it again, anyway, I will have dinner with Xia Rongrong and them later, and it would be good to have one more old man, just so that he could help taste it.

"Uncle, if you plan to eat, then wait a while, the new store is about to open, try it first?"

Grinning, Su Qiubai shouted at the old man.

The old man, who was originally a little stunned in his heart, suddenly became happy when he heard this, and he didn't have the slightest intention of refusing, and had already walked over.

"Then you're welcome!"

Seeing that he had already sat down here as he spoke, Su Qiubai was stunned, this old man ...... It's kind of interesting!

What he didn't know was that at this moment, a group of people were already anxious about this old man!

"What about Elder Li? Haven't found it yet? ”

In a very luxurious office, a slightly chubby middle-aged man looked at the person opposite with an anxious face and asked.

"I don't know...... None of the people sent out have been heard yet. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man became more anxious.

"Quick! Let more people go to find it, hurry up and ask him to come back, and be sure to give us another chance! Come on! ”

After roaring like crazy, the middle-aged man looked out the window as he watched the others leave.

You know, if you can't get what is in Li Lao's hands, then everything about him will be completely ruined!

……

Inside the restaurant, Niu Wan sweated profusely and came out of it with the prepared dishes.

"Taste it! Ha ha...... It's sure to be delicious, try it! ”

As he spoke, the boy had already placed the plate on the table, and then looked up eagerly.

This time there is an old man who I don't know at all.

"Taste a fart, hurry up and bring out some dishes, the others will be here soon."

Seeing that the old cow was standing still, Su Qiubai hurriedly pushed him, and then saw this kid grinning and rushing into the kitchen again.

The old man here looked at the dishes on the table motionlessly, although it was covered, but the smell in his nose made the familiar things in his memory seem to appear again.

didn't notice the change in the old man, Su Qiubai just thought that this was an ordinary person who was going to have dinner.

Soon, Xia Rongrong and Luo Qing arrived, and after entering the door, Su Qiubai greeted them and asked them to sit down first.

The two of them were also a little curious about this old man who didn't know his identity, but Su Qiubai didn't know it either, so they just said hello simply.

After sitting down, Luo Qing looked at her phone again, she had already decided to leave quickly after eating a few bites of food, so she deliberately asked her friends to wait a little longer.

As for Xia Rongrong, she was quite curious, seeing that Su Qiubai and Niu Million were as excited as children, she couldn't help but wonder what the dish would taste like.

When a few people were silent, the sound of a sports car sounded outside, and soon Xia Xiaomu came in.

Originally, Xia Xiaomu had a bitter face and planned to ask his old sister what kind of meal he was eating, but he was stunned when he saw Su Qiubai.

"Brother Bai, you're here too!"

His words made Su Qiubai a little depressed, "It's all said, call me Brother Su...... This restaurant is owned by a friend of mine, so I'll have a good taste later! ”

"Your friend opened it, then I have to give some advice!"

While laughing, Xia Xiaomu sat next to Xia Rongrong, to say that this kid can laugh now is completely because of his admiration for Su Qiubai, otherwise he would have gone back after saying hello to his sister.

By now, all the guests who were coming tonight had arrived, although there was an old man who didn't know anyone.

But whatever, isn't life interesting because of all kinds of accidents?

The dishes on Lao Niu's side also happened to be ready, and after the last dish was served, he was already about to laugh, and was only held back after being glanced at by Su Qiubai.

"Let's try it and see if our hotel can be popular!"

As he spoke, all the people at the table sat down.

And then...... Lao Niu slowly lifted the lid of a table of dishes.

At this moment, the rich fragrance came to the nostrils, and the group of people sitting at the table actually felt like their whole bodies were beginning to breathe.

"What's that? Why does it smell so good? ”

Xia Xiaomu was taken aback, he originally thought that he had to pretend to praise a few words anyway.

But...... It does smell good! And I can't help but want to keep smelling it, it's like an addiction!

"Right...... yes, what the hell was added? ”

Luo Qing here is also similar to Xia Xiaomu, because of this fragrance, she actually has a hunger that she hasn't had for a long time.

You must know that in the current restaurant, in order to enhance the flavor of the dishes, it is normal to add some flavors and other things, even flour and oil, so these two people did not hesitate to think that Niu Million must have added something.

Otherwise, they never knew that a random table of dishes would smell so good, and you must know that after eating food for so many years, the rich aroma has long been forgotten.

As a result, Niu Million here hadn't spoken yet, and suddenly the old man, who had been silent, spoke up.

"These dishes...... I didn't add anything special, it was just the most ordinary spices. This scent ...... It is the aroma of the ingredients themselves, and only this fragrance will irritate the stomach and make people feel hungry, not dizzy. ”

When the old man said this, Xia Xiaomu and Luo Qing felt unbelievable, while Niu Million and Su Qiubai were shocked!

You must know that Lao Niu's craftsmanship is basically all learned from his father, and it can even be called an ancestral, so he will definitely not choose some modern practices.

All the dishes are strictly in accordance with the craftsmanship handed down, and it is indeed added with ordinary seasonings, I didn't expect this ordinary old man to be able to say it!

"Hurry up and try it! The dishes are cold! ”

Su Qiubai here is in a hurry, these people don't move their chopsticks just by talking, he is hungry.

When he said this, everyone was ready to taste it.

Lao Niu made a total of six dishes, all because Su Qiubai only brought so many dishes back from Liangshan, after all, in ancient times, there must have been a lot fewer types of dishes than now.

For the first dish, everyone actually looked at the plate of braised pork.

No way, it seems that this dish has the strongest flavor and looks the most eye-catching.

Slowly, everyone took a bite.

In fact, even at this time, Luo Qing still didn't have much expectation, she usually hardly eats meat, but today's plate of braised pork made her can't help but want to taste it, although it was only a small bite.

But just this one bite made her stunned.

Slippery but not greasy, full of rich fragrance...... Madan, this is so delicious!

So, when these people on the other side were still savoring, Luo Qing had already begun to eat the second bite.

"Slow down! Don't finish eating! ”

Xia Xiaomu here saw Luo Qing's movements, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't care about swallowing the mouthful, and immediately put the chopsticks in again.

Even Xia Rongrong felt that the aftertaste was endless, and when she was about to take another bite, Su Qiubai put a piece in the bowl for her.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other, and they suddenly gave birth to warmth......

And the old man here immediately joined the ranks of the robbery, and the three of them almost fought.

It was in this atmosphere that the meal began.

……

After about twenty minutes, the table was eaten.

Xia Xiaomu didn't have the idea of going back to play games, and Luo Qing here had already turned off his mobile phone.

What a gathering of friends! Hell you all!

I want to eat!

Niu Million may be the happiest person, although he has made a few dollars in drug batches in recent years, but his interest has never been in this.

He told Su Qiubai when he was a child that his biggest dream was to become a chef and replace his father to obtain those honors in the food industry inherited from China!

So from beginning to end, he made every dish very carefully, and now he feels very happy when he sees everyone's satisfaction.

"Brother Niu, I think your hotel will definitely be the first in the country! It's so delicious! I didn't even know that braised pork could be so delicious that I wanted to swallow my tongue! ”

Xia Xiaomu leaned back in his chair and said these words very sincerely.

"What is the first in the country, it should be the first in the world!"

Luo Qing couldn't help but carefully flip over the plate with chopsticks, and added in his mouth.

"That's right! Brother Niu, I think if it goes on like this, our hotel can be rated! Maybe you can get the title of Seven Star Brand! ”

Xia Xiaomu seemed to suddenly remember something, and his whole person became excited.

"Do you think the Seven Star brand is that easy? There are only a few in the country, but how many are there in the world? In the entire Qinghe City, there is only one star brand, Longquan Villa, which is only a one-star ...... Besides, how many years have people been around! But...... I think we should be able to reach one star in another year. ”

Su Qiubai was also in a very good mood, but when he heard Xia Xiaomu's words, he couldn't help but interject.

As he said, it is a very difficult process to determine the rating of a brand, and if it can reach seven stars, it represents the top level in the world.

But it is not easy to reach the seven-star brand, there are only nine seven-star brands in the world, and Huaxia occupies almost half of the quota among them, and there are four seven-star brands!

For this matter, other countries are very depressed, but they are helpless.

Really talk about eating...... No one has the guts to compete with Huaxia.

To put it simply, one pack of spicy strips is enough to solve all the problems of Westerners, if not, then two packs......

But at the same time, this also explains how difficult it is for the seven-star brand from another aspect, even if it is one star, it is a very high honor for a hotel.

Therefore, Su Qiubai couldn't help but interject when he heard Xia Xiaomu say that he could make this hotel reach a seven-star brand immediately.

"Okay...... But to be honest, the dishes in Longquan Villa are really delicious, but there is a gap with the level of Brother Niu! ”

Pouting, Xia Xiaomu still retorted.

Originally, Su Qiubai didn't want to continue arguing about anything on this issue, but no one expected that the old man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"The level of this hotel can reach one star!"

When he spoke, Su Qiubai and Xia Rongrong were stunned.

It's not open yet, this old man actually said directly that the level can reach one star, it seems that this meal is good!

"Haha, look...... Uncle, I agree with you! ”

Xia Xiaomu was happy when he heard this, and immediately began to get close to the old man.

"But I would like to make a suggestion, after the opening, you can use this braised pork as a signature dish, in my memory, it seems that I have only eaten such delicious braised pork when I was a child...... I was very impressed. ”

The old man spoke, and then looked at Niu Million, his eyes full of sincerity.

At this moment, Xia Xiaomu, who originally wanted to continue to speak, felt a little unable to answer his words, from an old man in his twilight years, everyone would always easily gain shock.

"Really, I thought that I would never see Chinese cuisine reappear again in my life, too many people have forgotten the taste of the food itself, this is the gift of nature, the real chef should only reflect the deliciousness of the ingredients, not with the so-called chemical ......"

After that, the old man said these words again in one breath.

It's very peaceful and natural, without any artificiality, and anyone can hear the piety in the tone.

"Young man, you are very good, I will give you this thing......"

As he spoke, the old man took out a black piece of iron from his body, which looked very quaint, and then handed it to Niu Million's hand.

The old cow was a little at a loss for what to do.

Originally, he was the same as Su Qiubai, but he just thought that this old man should be just an ordinary person, but now that he heard his words, his previous thoughts were gone.

"Uncle, I don't know if you are ......"

Su Qiubai and Xia Rongrong had already sensed that this old man might not be ordinary, so they couldn't help but ask softly.

"I'm just an ordinary person who wants to eat good food, no matter how busy he is, he always wants to find a place where he can eat quietly and be happy for a while, which is what every chef should do, and it is also the true meaning of every star...... Thank you, I'm so happy. ”

As he spoke, the old man stood up with a smile on his face.

"Are you leaving?"

Every word the old man said made Su Qiubai feel very agreeable, so now seeing him stand up, he hurriedly asked out loud.

"It's time for me to leave, thank you again, but don't worry...... Maybe I'll be back soon, and I hope your store will be thriving. ”

After the last sentence was finished, the old man walked out slowly, and Su Qiubai's desire to send him was also refused.

No one spoke, perhaps still thinking about the old man's last words.

"Brother Niu, when will our store open?"

Xia Xiaomu broke the silence, and as he spoke, everyone returned to their next outlook for this hotel.

"In two days, because our purchase channel is special, we have to prepare it in advance, and the meals every day are ...... Probably limited editions. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Su Qiubai said these words.

Although the craftsmanship passed down from Lao Niu's ancestors is very important, for this restaurant, the real reason for standing out is the meat and vegetables brought back from Liangshan.

When Su Qiubai said this, Lao Niu also nodded, even if it was unlimited, he would probably not be able to work alone.

"I will hold a meeting tomorrow, this hotel Xia Group will be a shareholder, you don't have to worry about management matters, and do you need to recruit people from the kitchen together?"

How smart Xia Rongrong is, this listens to understand that for this hotel, the biggest problem now is these.

If she hadn't tasted the food here before, she might still feel uncomfortable about stepping into the catering field, but now she has full confidence!

If nothing else, even if it's just for that plate of braised pork, it's worth it!

Luo Qing next to her words also nodded immediately, and even looked forward to it.

After staying in the city for a long time, I will slowly forget the taste of home and the feeling of hunger, and it seems that I often eat just to cope with something, but after the opening of this restaurant...... Just think about it and feel happy!

At this point, basically everything is ready!

And the brand of Niu Million is also in the toast of everyone, and it will soon appear in this world for the first time!

……

On the other side of Longquan Villa, the boss didn't fall asleep until midnight, and Li Lao's silent departure made this more than ten years old shop fall into a panic for a while.

He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have used that batch of cheap meat to cook for ordinary people, but who would have thought that Li Lao, who was the master of the World Food Association, would actually eat among ordinary people.

Now thinking of the disappointment and gloom on the old man's face, as well as the last sigh of canceling the one-star qualification of Longquan Villa, he felt full of remorse.

And now, he can only hope that there must be a one-star hotel in every urban area, so that he can bring himself back to life.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

"Boss, there is a notice from Mr. Li's side, and our one-star title has been stripped away......"

Hearing this voice, the fat boss was completely desperate, but immediately asked as if grasping the last straw, "But shouldn't there be a family with one star in every urban area?" So what to do? ”

He ...... He gave it to someone else. ”
