Chapter 17: Words cannot be trusted
Wang Liangjing doesn't look very strong, but his hard work since he was a child is not fake, his muscles and bones are strong, every muscle is tightly attached to the bones, flexible and powerful, like an agile leopard, completely different from those bodybuilders with developed limbs, he is definitely a macho man with one as ten!
How about the army, even if it is a fierce general and strong soldier of Daliao, Lao Tzu is not afraid! If you dare to rob my property, Lao Tzu will make you pay!
Wang Liangjing clenched his fists and was about to make a move. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Wang Ningan hesitated, he entered the restaurant, and kept observing, and found that the tables and chairs were neatly placed, wiped clean, and the ground was sprinkled with water, and he was very careful everywhere.
If it was really a few thieves and an army that had taken over their own property, would they be so careful about it?
Besides, just a few words from the candy seller, it is still inappropriate to run to make trouble.
Thinking of this, Wang Ningan hurriedly rushed to the front and said with a smile: "We want to eat something, what do we have?" β
When the guy with a meaty face heard that they were going to eat, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him and wiped the stool with a white hand towel, which was actually very clean.
"We have wine, donkey meat, and soup."
"Wine, okay?" Wang Ningan asked tentatively.
The guy with a meaty face looked embarrassed, "It's a little sour." β
"What about the cookbread?"
"It's cold, it's hard." Dahan said honestly.
Other people's families brag, saying how good their things are, but when they came here, they were so honest, Wang Ningan was quite surprised. Seeing that he had questions on his face, the other party smiled embarrassedly, "Tong Suo is not bullied!" Also, do you want more? β
"Yes, two bowls of soup cakes."
"Okay, soup cakesβtwo bowls!"
With his shouting, the knives and spoons in the kitchen moved together, ping pong, Wang Ningan frowned when he heard it, do you want to make a soup cake, as for being so troublesome?
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the soup cake was finally served.
Wang Ningan glanced at it and immediately frowned.
The so-called soup cake, some people think it is noodles, but in fact it is wrong, soup cake is a noodle soup, that is, the noodles are rolled into thin slices, and then torn into pieces of moderate size, put in boiling water to boil, like noodles, you can also add some vegetables, salt, broth, sesame oil and other seasonings.
Wang Ningan took the bowl, frowned at first sight, the soup and the noodles should be separated, the one in front of him can be poured well, formed a big ball, and used chopsticks to prick it, but it didn't move, and looked inside along the hole, it was all white flour, not cooked. Everyone puts some greens, here can be poured, put cabbage gangs, white noodles, white cabbage, can raise the appetite is strange!
Wang Ningan frowned for a long time, peeked at his father, and said with a smile: "The elders eat first, and the younger ones are good at moving chopsticks." β
Wang Liangjing's face sank instantly, this bowl has become a lump, Wang Liangjing's stomach has been nourished by Wang Ning'an in the past two days, looking at a bowl of soup cakes, watching for half a minute, before closing his eyes, biting violently, snorting, it hurts Wang Liangjing to open his eyes, a piece of sand the size of a finger, fortunately his teeth are strong, otherwise it would have to be lost!
"What do you make?"
Wang Liangjing clenched his fists again, what kind of ruined restaurant was ruined, it was really infuriating!
The big man couldn't hide his guilt and loss, so he could only bow his head and apologize: "It's us who are wrong, this, this soup cake doesn't need money." β
"Just don't want money?" Wang Liangjing was puzzled!
At this time, the big man's face was not good-looking, and he forced his anger and said, "Friend, what do you want?" Let's lose money? Tell you, this restaurant will be closed from now on, so it's okay! β
Hearing that the big man said that the restaurant was going to be closed, four or five young men ran out from behind, some in their teens and some in their early twenties, all of whom were in a hurry.
"Brother Xiang, how can you do it if you don't open it?"
"Yes, without income, we can't survive!"
They were gossiping, and the big man sighed, "It's not that I don't want to hold on, you have also seen it, the restaurant has no chef, and the dishes have been reduced and reduced, but even the soup cake can't be done, and if it continues, it will lose money." It's better for everyone to disperse, close the restaurant, and go their separate ways! β
The young men were so anxious that they turned back and forth, and the big man shook his head in shame and threw his hand at Wang Liangjing and Wang Ningan.
"The two of you are the last guests of the small shop, the small shop has no ability, please forgive me." As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
Wang Liangjing was a little dumbfounded, this big man was polite from beginning to end, and he didn't mean to be arrogant at all, saying that they had beaten the shopkeeper away and occupied the restaurant, which was not like it!
But...... Wang Liangjing couldn't figure it out, so he had to peek at Wang Ningan.
Wang Ningan's eyes rolled, and he also felt that there was a problem.
"This friend, listen to you, the chef in the restaurant is gone, so where is the other person?"
When Dahan heard this, he suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "Guest officer, it's better for outsiders not to inquire about the affairs of the small shop." β
Lao Tzu has become an outsider?
Wang Liangjing was angry, and he wanted to show his identity, but Wang Ningan waved his hand at him.
"Hahaha, it's not a secret, I don't have any other skills, when it comes to cooking, I'm afraid that the famous chefs in Bianjing can't compare." Wang Ningan swore and said, but few people present believed it.
A young man said disdainfully: "What kind of cowhide are you bragging about, how old are you, how many dishes have you seen?" It's more than a celebrity chef, and his skin is almost thicker than others! β
The big man glared at him fiercely, "Little Maozi, don't apologize to the guest yet!" β
Xiao Maozi was really afraid of the big man, so he hurriedly smiled, "The little one can't speak, and I ask the guest officer to forgive me." β
Wang Ningan smiled faintly, "You apologize in your mouth, but you may not be convinced in your heart, why don't you make a bowl of soup cakes too, how about you compare?" β
The big man was silent for a while, and said in his heart that it was just a bowl of soup cakes, what could be the big deal.
"Please!"
He invited Wang Ningan to the kitchen, he had just made soup cakes, and there were still a lot of noodles left, Wang Ningan was not polite, while lighting a fire to boil water, while rolling out the dough sheets.
The water is boiling, and the dough sheets are rolled.
Not thick or thin, moderate softness and hardness, Wang Ning'an's hands were as fast as flying, he tore the dough into small pieces and threw it into the pot, the water was boiling, and the dough was half cooked in the pot. Wang Ningan hurriedly threw the green vegetables into the pot and added salt.
It took less than five minutes to cook a large pot of soup cakes, put them in a bowl, and drip a few drops of sesame oil, and the aroma was immediately wafting. When it was brought outside, Wang Liangjing swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
"Taste it!"
Wang Ningan picked up a bowl by himself, sucked it a few times, and most of the bowl was in his stomach, and when he looked up, he found that the big man, Xiao Maozi, and other guys had eaten up the soup cakes in the bowl, and some people even stuck out their tongues, and they were reluctant to let go of even some soup.
Compared with the soup cakes made by Wang Ningan, they are not even as good as pig food!
"Little brother, just rely on your skills to be a chef for us! We all listen to you! "The big man warmly invited.
Wang Ningan didn't rush to agree, but said with a smile: "It's okay to let me stay, but I always have to figure out how this Haifeng Restaurant got what it is today, whether it has always been bad, or ......."
The big man was silent for a while, and sighed, "I shouldn't have chewed the root of my tongue, but for the sake of the big guy's life, I'll talk about ......"
The Han surnamed Xiang, named Xiang Hao, was assassinated to Cangzhou eight years ago, his responsibility was not heavy, and he was free after seven years of hard labor in the prison city. But there were no relatives at home, so he stayed in Cangzhou, and the owner of Haifeng Restaurant took him in at that time.
After working for half a year, the original owner sold the Haifeng Restaurant, and the new owner sent a shopkeeper and hired a new chef.
But after four or five months, I suddenly woke up one day and found that the shopkeeper had disappeared, and Xiang Hao did not suspect it at first, but at night, even the chef disappeared.
Xiang Hao and the rest of the guys were dumbfounded, they couldn't find anyone to say, the money in the cabinet room was gone, and the warehouse in the backyard, the hoarded japonica rice, bacon meat, and all kinds of expensive condiments were almost swept away.
"I thought it was the shopkeeper who stole the money, and the things in the warehouse were sold by the chef!" Xiang Hao said firmly.
Wang Liangjing couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you report to the official?" β
Xiang Hao smiled bitterly, "We are guys, and we are not the owners of the restaurant, how can we be qualified to report to the official." β
"That's the case, then they're all gone, why don't you leave?"
Xiang Hao laughed even more miserably, looked around at a few young men, and then said: "I am a person without a family, and these brothers have nowhere to go." I left, and they didn't even have a place to eat. I used to hear from the shopkeeper that the new owner seemed to be sick, and I thought that sooner or later I would send someone to take over the restaurant. For the time being, I will maintain the business of the restaurant first, and I can't let the restaurant be empty, otherwise everyone will leave, no one will watch, and the thief will come, won't the owner suffer! These brothers will also have food and wages......"
Listening to the good narrative, Wang Ningan and his father looked at each other, and they both looked extremely surprised, it seemed to be different from what was said outside!
"Brother Xiang, how are you doing these days, but you have made money?"
didn't wait for Xiang Hao to speak, Xiao Maozi hurriedly said: "What kind of money to make, when the chefs used to cook, they all drove the big guys out, for fear that we would steal our skills, and if the people were gone, we wouldn't be able to cook, no matter the new and old customers, all ran away, these days I rely on Xiang eldest brother to pay out of his own pocket to maintain, and the money he saved to marry his daughter-in-law is gone." β
Speaking of this, Xiao Maozi almost cried, stretched out his big hand to Hao, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't put gold on my face, even if we want to marry, people will dare to marry!" Xiang Hao was very lonely and said: "I just hope that the owner will send someone as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to hold on even if I want to." β
