Chapter 9 Kicking the gym

At this time, it was almost noon, and it was the time for the restaurant to have customers, but there were no customers when I walked into this restaurant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhong Hao walked into the store, only to see two shopkeepers with white towels on their shoulders sitting listlessly in the corner of the lobby, and a slightly chubby young man wearing a purple placket and looking to be the shopkeeper was lying behind the counter.

When the shopkeeper saw Zhong Hao, who was dressed in a shirt and wearing a scarf, came in, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he didn't need to be greeted by two guys, and he personally trotted out from behind the counter to greet Zhong Hao.

"What do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper of the youth store led Zhong Hao to a bright table by the window and sat down.

"It's time for dinner, why don't you see the other guests?" In fact, Zhong Hao had already learned something about the situation in this store, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked.

"Hey ......" the shopkeeper smiled slightly embarrassedly: "There are many people and you can't eat, how good it is if there are fewer people, isn't it more clean?" ”

"That's not the case." Zhong Hao shook his head and said: "There are fewer people, which means that your food may not be good, or the store is bullying customers, how can I dare to eat?" ”

The shopkeeper of the "Alas......" store was obviously a little depressed: "Does the guest officer still order?" ”

"I have to give it a chance, and besides, I'm just tired of walking and don't want to change places." Zhong Hao said: "Pick a few of the best dishes in your store and try them." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Zhong Hao's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen to inform him, and asked the shopkeeper who was sitting in a daze next to him to quickly give Zhong Hao a pot of good tea.

There are few customers, and the food is served naturally and quickly.

However, after the tea was done, the shopkeeper and his buddy brought four dishes together.

The shopkeeper did not leave, and stood aside to help Zhong Hao make an introduction.

"This dish is 'soup and double crispy', which is one of the four signature dishes of our restaurant, you can try it!"

Under the hopeful gaze of the shopkeeper, Zhong Hao took a chopstick pork belly from the 'soup explosion double crispy', sent it to his mouth to taste, and immediately his face changed greatly, and he spit out the pork belly in one bite.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but say: "Shopkeeper, this pork belly can't be eaten at all." What kind of cook are you? Doesn't he need to remove the skin of the pork belly and chicken gizzard of this 'soup and double crispy'? And your pork belly and chicken gizzard are not soaked in alkaline water, you can't eat a little crispy, and you can't chew it at all! ”

The shopkeeper sweated profusely, and it turned out that he made this "soup burst double crispy", and the pork belly and chicken gizzard had to be skinned, and they had to be soaked in alkaline water! No wonder his second brother can't make the taste of his father!

The shopkeeper was embarrassed, and then apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, maybe the chef in the store is not in a good state today, I forgot it, I'm really sorry." Why don't you try this 'red lotus root stuffed lamb chops' again," the shopkeeper looked at Zhong Hao with a look of hope, hoping that this dish could be praised by Zhong Hao and save some face.

Zhong Hao tasted it according to his words, and immediately had an expression of eating flies, this time he was embarrassed to spit it out, he just endured the nausea, swallowed it, and after a long time, he said with difficulty: "Shopkeeper, please...... Red lotus root is not boiled to red, but refers to the red lotus! Its original intention is to use the fragrance of lotus to neutralize the smell of mutton. Your dish treats flowers as lotus roots, but the dishes are full of sheep flavor...... "After a pause, he picked up a small flower leaf from the plate and said: "You actually use safflower to dye lotus root, what an imagination!" I ate one of your dishes, and my mouth was red, and others thought I was poisoned! ”

Although Zhong Hao was finding fault, he was reasonable, and the shopkeeper couldn't refute it, so he couldn't help but blush, and he held back for a long time before he whispered on the side: "Or...... Why don't you try this 'chicken stew with mushrooms' again, this is also ...... It is also one of the four signature dishes of our restaurant. ”

Zhong Hao looked embarrassed, he really didn't want to taste it.

But the shopkeeper laughed and pleaded, Zhong Hao reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of chicken and tasted it, then shook his head and sighed: "Alas, what a fresh pheasant, it was ruined like this by your cook." I didn't know how to blanch the soup with boiling water before, but the pheasant was all earthy. And the cooking time is too short, and the chicken is stuffed straight into the teeth, which is terrible! And this chicken stewed mushrooms, with dried shiitake mushrooms is the most flavorful, but your home is fresh mushrooms, how to eat this! I see that this cook in your family has never learned cooking seriously at all, and you have been fooled by him! ”

"Ahh......hh Looks like I'm not really a chef. Ahh......h

As soon as Zhong Hao finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud cry, he was startled by this cry, and looked back, a fat young man who looked very similar to the shopkeeper was squatting down at the corner door of the front hall and back kitchen of the restaurant and holding his head and crying.

"So you're a chef?" When Zhong Hao tasted the food, he saw the fat young man standing at the corner door and staring at him, but he didn't expect him to be the chef in this store. Remembering that he had been extremely poisonous to other people's chefs just now, he was very belittled, and he couldn't help but be very embarrassed, so he hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't know that Brother Tai is that ......."

"It's because you don't know that you will tell the truth......" The fat young man cried heartbroken, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Big brother, what else you say, 'where there is a will, there is a way', it is all a lie, I will say that I have no talent for cooking." I've been teaching myself cooking for more than half a year, and I still haven't made any progress, woo...... Let me die. Big brother, I think we should buy the store for Lao Huang, we can't hold up this store. The latter sentence was said to the shopkeeper, it turned out that they were brothers, no wonder Zhong Hao felt that they looked alike, but this chef brother was fatter than the shopkeeper's brother.

The shopkeeper also sighed and sat down in his chair dejectedly.

Zhong Hao listened to the fat young man's words, and said faintly: "Actually, if you can't cook well, it's not a matter of talent, but that you don't have a master who teaches you well." The craft of cooking is not led by a master, and you will never be able to enter the door for the rest of your life. ”

The fat young man listened to Zhong Hao's words, and cried even more sadly: "Ahhhh......h It's all my fault, when my father was alive, I was idle all day long, and I never learned a craft. As a result, his old man died suddenly, and I didn't have a place to study. ”

"Then why don't you look for a master again?" Zhong Hao guided.

"Where can I find my master?" The young man whimpered, "I just want to be an apprentice to others, and they won't want me!" "In this era, craftsmanship is a rice bowl, and craftsmen cherish themselves. In addition to the children who pass on the mantle, outsiders want to learn some crafts, so they can only be apprentices for five or eight years. In this way, people will not teach by word and deed, but just give you a chance to steal a teacher. As the second shopkeeper of the "natural home", the fat young man has no opportunity to worship others as teachers.

"I haven't looked for it, how do you know that I can't find it?" Zhong Hao continued to hint.

The shopkeeper often does things to usher in, and his eyesight is much stronger than his second brother, listening to Zhong Hao's words, it seems that he has the meaning of teaching his second brother, and his second brother only knows sadness, and he does not understand Zhong Hao's meaning at all, and he can't help but be anxious, and hurriedly glances at his second brother, but his second brother didn't hear it, and the shopkeeper had to get up and say to Zhong Hao deeply: "Please also ask Gongzi to accept my second brother and teach him a few skills, our brothers can't help but be grateful!" ”

The fat young man couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard the words of the eldest brother. He saw that Zhong Hao was not very old, dressed in a azure shirt, wearing a scarf, dressed like a scholar, and he didn't look like a chef who could cook. But the fat young man remembered Zhong Hao's tricky tongue and meticulous understanding of various dishes when he tasted dishes, and at this time he suddenly blessed his soul and remembered an ancient saying: People should not be good-looking. At that moment, the fat young man seemed to have grasped the last straw, and bowed his head: "The apprentice is rich and rich, please accept it!" ”

Zhong Hao saw that he was finally on the road, but he began to be reserved, and then he groaned for a while before he spoke: "It's okay to accept you as an apprentice, but it's a bit expensive to learn the craft from me?" ”

Without waiting for the fat young man to speak, the shopkeeper said: "How many bundles does the son need, just speak!" ”

Zhong Hao smiled slightly and said, "This bundle ...... Well, let's do it, let's try my craft first, and it's not too late to talk about it. Besides, I'm a little hungry. Saying that, Zhong Hao touched his stomach.

The shopkeeper thought about it, first look at the goods and then give the money, first see how Zhong Hao's craftsmanship is, so as to determine how many bundles are suitable.

The fat young man Gao Defu hurriedly said: "Master here, please, I'll give the master a hand!" As he spoke, he led Zhong Hao to the back kitchen.
