Chapter 68: The Heart Is Colder Than the Cold Winter (Second Watch, Asking for Votes)
Cui Yingying was sitting in the restaurant at the moment, looking at the empty restaurant with no brilliance in her eyes, and her whole person was filled with a breath of despair.
At this moment, she felt unprecedented tiredness, and the strength of her body seemed to be evacuated. It was as if a breeze could blow her down.
Since the change in the family and the death of her father, she has put aside the reserve she should have as a young girl, and began to take over the hotel in a comprehensive way.
Originally, she thought that with her ingenuity and perseverance, no matter how severe the situation was and how difficult things were, she was confident that she would regain the glory of this Cui Kee Restaurant and complete her father's lifebed entrustment.
And for a period of time, although it was very hard, tiring, and difficult, she has been gritting her teeth and persevering, because she still has hope in her heart and courage in her bones.
Indeed, God is not really blind, and his hard work has finally paid off. After her efforts during this period of time, coupled with the former fame of Cui Ji Restaurant, the business of this restaurant, although it is still very bland, although there is still no balance, but at least it is not as bleak as it was at the beginning.
Just when she was full of joy, this Cui Ji Restaurant finally relieved her breath and finally saw hope. Suddenly, she realized that it was just a joke God had played on her.
Just now, she got the news that the Wang Ji Restaurant next to it actually appeared, almost exactly the same sauce meat as their Cui Ji Restaurant, and this taste is even better.
At first, she thought that this was someone joking with her, you must know that the sauce meat of Cui Ji Restaurant is the ancestral secret skill of the Cui family, how can others know about it. It can be said that apart from her, as well as the chef of their Cui Kee Restaurant, Uncle Zhang, no one knows the secret of this sauce meat.
As for Uncle Zhang, it is absolutely impossible to reveal the secret recipe of this sauce meat, and she has no doubt about this.
Speaking of this Zhang Dachu, Uncle Zhang came, and when it came to it, Cui Yingying had to call him uncle. Because he was an orphan adopted by Cui Yingying's grandfather, he later followed Cui Yingying's father to learn cooking skills with Cui Yingying's grandfather. Because this Dachu is honest, Cui Yingying's grandfather treats him as an adopted son, and Cui Yingying's father has always regarded this Dachu as a brother.
In the end, Cui Yingying's father even told Zhang Dachu the secret recipe of this ancestral sauce and meat without reservation, and let him take charge of the kitchen. In this way, Cui Yingying's father was also freed from the back kitchen and could better take care of the business of this restaurant.
For a long time after that, it showed that Cui Yingying's decision was correct, and it also showed that there was absolutely no problem with this Zhang Dachu's personality.
With the division of labor and cooperation of these two brothers, Cui Kee Restaurant is thriving, and its business is becoming more and more prosperous. In the face of countless temptations, Zhang Dachu was completely unmoved. For more than ten years, the Cui family's secret recipe for sauce and meat has never been leaked. Even, even Zhang Dachu's son, he didn't know anything about the secret recipe of sauce and meat.
Now, I heard that the Wang Ji Restaurant next to it can actually make almost exactly the same sauce as her own restaurant, and even better sauce meat, of course Cui Yingying doesn't believe it.
Of course, this does not rule out that the other party has developed a new formula on its own. But, when you think about it, that's not possible. If the other party really has a better sauce meat recipe than their own family recipe. In the first place, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to force their father to hand over the formula.
However, when Uncle Wang brought the sauce meat he had just bought from Wang Ji Restaurant to Cui Yingying, and just tasted it, Cui Yingying's face suddenly became pale.
And when she faced Uncle Zhang, who was tired with gray hair and kneeling on the ground crying and crying for her Cui family, her heart was suddenly filled with an unprecedented despair.
She also knew the reason why Uncle Zhang did this. His unsuccessful only son was framed, and if he didn't hand over the formula, they would report to the officials, and his son would have to be exiled to the army.
waved her hand weakly and let Zhang Dachu retreat, and she began to sit there stupidly like this.
"Miss, are you okay, don't scare Xiaoyu, woo woo........."
Xiaoyu is Cui Yingying's personal girl, and she has grown up with Cui Yingying since she was a child. Although the two are called master and servant, they are like sisters.
Since the great changes in the family, Cui Yingying showed up to take care of the restaurant, and the family was all handed over to Xiaoyu to take care of alone. Because, in Cui Yingying's family, there is an old mother who is bedridden because of excessive grief, and a younger brother who is only twelve years old to take care of.
Xiao Yu, who was hurriedly called by Uncle Wang, saw Cui Yingying become so looked, and suddenly felt that the sky was dark and frightened.
You must know that in this family, Cui Yingying is the backbone and pillar. Without Cui Yingying, this already crumbling home, what can I do?
"Xiaoyu, why are you here, well, Uncle Wang called you here, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired"
Sure enough, hearing Xiao Yu's voice, this Cui Yingying finally came back to her senses, and then smiled at Xiao Yu. It's a pity that this smile made Xiaoyu's heart even more sad.
The two grew up together and got along day and night. Each other, that is to know each other better than each other. Don't say that the other party's smile is from the other party's inadvertent eyes, you can immediately know the other party's thoughts.
And in Cui Yingying's smile just now, Xiao Yu could feel too many things, what made her feel the most and the most scared was that she understood something from Cui Yingying's smile, despair.
"Miss .........."
"Okay, Xiaoyu, don't say it, I'm really tired. Well, we haven't been out for a long time, so let's go out today. Otherwise, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future."
Cui Yingying knows that everything about her can't be hidden from this sister who grew up with her. Without waiting for her to say anything more, he directly interrupted her.
Outing? This spring hasn't arrived yet, what kind of green is it? However, after seeing Cui Yingying's expression, Xiaoyu could only nod in agreement.
I thought to myself, going out for a walk might make the young lady feel a little better.
After seeing Xiaoyu agree, Cui Yingying didn't say anything, and walked directly outside. Even, she didn't explain to the shopkeeper Wang, because in her opinion, it was meaningless.
This Wang Ji Restaurant is originally more high-end than Cui Ji Restaurant, not only is it more luxuriously decorated, but also this dish is much more than Cui Ji Restaurant, and it is also more delicious. It can be said that except for the secret sauce meat, there is nothing in Cui Kee Restaurant that can be compared with the other party.
Even, even at this price, they set it very low, so low that there is basically no profit, and even to the extent that they are trading at a loss.
Cui Yingying is the kind of person who has a very high talent in business, and of course she can see that if their Cui Ji Restaurant continues like this, even if it is supported by secret sauce meat, it is not a long-term solution. She's been thinking about a change and she's had some great ideas.
It's a pity that it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without money, everything is empty talk.
Even so, she did not lose heart, thinking that as long as she could support the past predicament and make the restaurant improve a little, she could slowly make adjustments and changes. She believes that when the time comes, the business of this restaurant will definitely get better and better, create more brilliance, and fulfill her father's deathbed entrustment.
When she has the strength, she can defeat Wang Ji Restaurant in one fell swoop, and then take revenge. She wants to let the bastard who caused their family so miserable not die well.
That's right, by now, she has completely understood that the culprit of all this is that bastard, Wang Youde.
It's a pity that she knows that she never has a chance again, no. Even she, in order to keep this ancestral business, will have to feed wolves.
In her heart, there is only one thought now, that is, no matter what, this ancestral inheritance cannot be lost, this is something that makes her father worry about his death.
The public security environment of this Tang Dynasty is already very good, and in addition, this is in the suburbs of Chang'an City, so although Xiaoyu is a little uneasy in her heart, she still follows Cui Yingying's intentions, and just two people come out.
However, for fear that Cui Yingying would be too tired to walk, Xiaoyu deliberately drove a carriage out. The work of driving the carriage, since the Cui family suffered a great change and the servants were scattered, Xiaoyu has learned.
"Xiaoyu, look at how beautiful this scenery is......"
Listening to Cui Yingying's words, Xiao Yu looked at the scene in front of her, a scene of everything withering, and the tears swirled directly in her eyes.
It's still early in spring.
