Chapter 4 Restaurant Bets
Chapter 4 Restaurant Bets
When I got home, it was still early, and my younger brother Su Qianyan went to Wenshu, a classmate, and he didn't come back.
Daddy should still be working in the fields. Su Qiannuo took out a few peppers and tomatoes, cleaned them, and prepared to eat these ready-made things at night, and the large peppers left behind took the thread and put them on and prepared to dry them as seeds. Not long after finishing the work, I saw my father and mother slowly walking home with a few Chinese cabbages from the field. Su Qiannuo happily ran over to take the things from his parents and entered the yard together.
After returning to the yard, Su Qiannuo told his mother that she had found something good in the mountains, and she cooked at night. Ji Xiaomei was stunned. When will her daughter be able to cook?
Seeing Ji Xiaomei's doubts, Su Qiannuo said seriously: "Dad, mother, there are some things I haven't told you and my father, not because I hid it from you, but because I couldn't say it at that time." But now you can. Let's go inside and talk. ”
After entering the house, Su Qiannuo said: "Father and mother, in fact, in the past few years, I have not only attended classes in the school, but also worshipped a master. A few years ago, in the summer, I went to play outside the village by myself, and met an old man, who said that I had a strange skeleton and was a good seedling in business, and he insisted on being my master. I didn't agree, so he wouldn't let me go home. There was really no way, so I agreed to him.
Over the years, he will find time to teach me something every day, at first I was not willing to learn, but then I felt that he was really good, he knew a lot, and I knew a lot, and I recognized this master.
When I was formally apprenticed, he asked me not to tell anyone about what he taught me about business, including my father and mother. I can't say it until I have learned something and can officially become a teacher. That's why I didn't tell you before. ”
Su Weiliang frowned: "Then why did you say it today." Since childhood, I have taught you that people should keep their word. Do not do things that are contrary to conscience, commitment, or morality. ”
Su Qiannuo interrupted with a smile: "Dad, of course I know." Or I told you not long ago. Now I'm telling you because I'm a teacher. The point is not this, but I learned a lot from my master whether I can do business or not. ”
"That's good, my Su Weiliang's child, you should keep your word. What about your master? We haven't seen him for so many years, and when we call him to come to the house for a meal, you have bothered him all these years. We didn't know about it before, but now that we know, we should thank people. ”
"The master has gone. I don't know when I'll come back, but when he comes back, I'll pass it on to him. Today I found the peppers and tomatoes that the master said on the mountain, just to let you see the results of my studies over the years. I'm going to cook for you. Su Qiannuo smiled and walked towards the kitchen.
Su Weiliang and Ji Xiaomei sat at the table and pondered.
But they didn't understand why Bone Qingqi had any connection between learning business and cooking at the Chamber of Commerce, only knowing that it was their daughter, and her daughter would definitely not lie to them.
didn't know that their real daughter was long gone, and the current Su Qiannuo was just a wisp of soul in the 21st century.
Although she is not her own daughter, she also cherishes this family very much, otherwise she can't think of such a set of words to comfort their own changes.
He didn't want any estrangement between his hard-won family and her.
Ji Xiaomei said to Su Weiliang: "The child's father, the girl has grown up, she is not a child anymore, she already has her own ideas." And she is right, children have learned everything they should have learned over the years. Women are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations. It's not that our family doesn't let her go to school because they can't afford it, but over the years, I don't agree with the education of my two children. Since the child doesn't want to learn now, we can't force her to pass. I know you have your regrets, but you can't impose your regrets on your children. Believe it, I'll help the girl cook. With that, he got up and walked to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Su Qiannuo is studying what to eat at night, there is cabbage, you can fry cabbage spicily, there are no eggs at home, so let's pay attention to making tomato noodles.
After thinking about it, I saw Ji Xiaomei walk in, and asked Su Qiannuo what she wanted to do, so she helped her light the fire and make noodles. The chili cabbage is simply cut into cubes, the green onion is fried until fragrant, and the simple and rough spicy stir-fried cabbage is out of the pot.
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces, fry the soup in a pan, add water and bring to a boil, below. Fragrant tomato noodles out of the pan.
Su Qianyan also came back, and the family had a good time. Because of the chili rice, the thin Su Qianyan ate two large bowls of noodles before it ended. I called it delicious, and asked my sister to make more delicious food in the future.
After eating, he put away the dishes and chopsticks, and went back to the house, Su Qiannuo thought about whether to go to the county seat tomorrow. This is her mother Ji Xiaomei walking in, saying that there is a market in the county tomorrow to buy something. Su Qiannuo was about to go to the county seat, so he said that he would go with Ji Xiaomei.
Early the next morning, Su Qiannuo and Ji Xiaomei got up early in the morning, packed up their things after breakfast, and went out. I came to the intersection at the head of the village. People who go to the county seat are waiting for carriages here.
The so-called carriage is nothing more than a board cart on which some goods are placed, and some people sit on the goods and some people sit on the board carts. Just like that, it swayed all the way like a county seat.
An hour passed quickly, and the carriage came to the market in the county, and those who should unload the goods were unloaded, and those who wanted to buy things went inside.
Su Qiannuo's mother and daughter took their things and began to wander around. I want to buy some necessities, after all, they are just a village, they don't have anything, and if they want to buy things, they have to buy them from the county.
During the stroll, Su Qiannuo asked Ji Xiaomei: "Mother, do you and your father have any ideas about opening a shop, after all, the farm work is almost done now, and there is nothing busy at ordinary times, every year Dad goes to other places to do some physical work at this time, he is now older, and physical work is no longer suitable for him, it is better to continue to work for others than to do something yourself." ”
"I've thought about it too, but your father and I are just crop men, I don't know anything, and I don't know how to do anything if I want to."
"Isn't there still me, mother, in fact, I've thought about it these days, you and your father do some small business and give it a try, maybe you will make money in the future, and our family can give my brother a better school environment when he gets rich, right?"
"Actually, I have also thought about this problem with your father, you and your brother are not young, seeing that you are also a big girl, it is time to get married after the marriage, not to mention anything else, your dowry father and mother still have to prepare it for you, lest your mother-in-law's family look down on you and have a hard time."
"Mother, you said that these are early, people are still young, so I don't want to get married, I just want to be by my father's side."
"What kind of stupid words, where is there a girl's family who says she won't marry."
"I don't, even if I get married, then I want to find someone I like, and you have to be good to me and feel sorry for me, otherwise your daughter will marry someone else and be bullied."
"You girl, you just have an idea, you decide these things yourself, your father and I will not force you to marry someone you don't like, but all parents want their children to be happy, how can it come to your mouth like your father and I are going to push you into the fire pit"
"If I marry someone I don't like, won't I push your daughter into the fire pit?"
"Mother, what are you going to do with your father?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, after all, we don't know anything, I saw that your noodles were doing well a few days ago, and I thought that if I came to the county to get a small noodle stall, the cost would not be high, and there would be no loss."
Su Qiannuo thought about it for a while, and felt that it was okay, after all, he wanted to open a hot pot restaurant in the future, and if his father and mother took care of him in the past, he could improve his life, and his family could also be trusted. It's good to let him practice first.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Qiannuo and her mother found a small noodle restaurant and ate a bowl of noodles, Su Qiannuo said that he was going to go shopping, and said that he would meet at the place where he took the carriage later. Ji Xiaomei instructed Su Qiannuo a few words and separated.
After this morning's stroll, Su Qiannuo had already set his goal, and went straight to the largest restaurant in the center of the county, "Zhenwei Building". The restaurant has three floors, and there are not many people in it, because the weather is hot and the price is expensive, some ordinary people can't afford it at all. Rich people are all cats at home to escape the summer all day, who runs out to eat here. This also leads to the reason why although the location of this restaurant is good, it is rarely visited.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Xiao Er came over to greet him warmly. "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"
"Go to the second floor and find me a window spot, and I'm getting two signature dishes."
"Okay, guest upstairs, please" After Su Qiannuo sat down, Xiao Er put on the pot of hot tea and retreated.
Su Qiannuo looked at the crowd coming and going outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh: "I've been here for a few days, and I'm still not used to this kind of life. ”
Glancing at the hot tea sent by Xiao Er, Su Qiannuo rolled his eyes, who could drink such hot tea in the hot weather. The ancients really didn't know how to enjoy it. The brain is also pedantic.
The dishes came up quickly, a piece of fish, a part of fried vegetables, looking good, Su Qiannuo picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. The taste is okay, but there is no intention at all. Such a big restaurant, the specialties are like this, and I'm really sorry for the price.
Su Qiannuo called the shopkeeper, "Little Er, this is your signature dish?" ”
When Xiao Er heard it, he thought that Su Qiannuo was here to find fault, and his tone was not good, "This young lady, our store is very famous in ten miles and eight villages in this town, and the most famous dish in the photo is this treasure fish, even the county lord said that this treasure fish is a must, is there anything dissatisfied with the young lady?" ”
Su Qiannuo laughed when he heard this, "I'm quite dissatisfied, there are quite a lot of dissatisfied, so call your shopkeeper to come over." ”
Xiao Er thought for a while, turned around and left to call the shopkeeper.
After a while, Xiao Er came to the table with a middle-aged fat man. The middle-aged fat man said, "This guest officer, I am the shopkeeper of Zhenwei Building, you can call me Shopkeeper Li, I heard Xiao Er say that you are not satisfied with our dishes, and I want to know why you are not satisfied." "There is a reason why Shopkeeper Li started from scratch and became the owner of the largest restaurant in Zhenbian County little by little, and he didn't think that Xiao Er's words would make him angry at Su Qiannuo.
Su Qiannuo looked at this shopkeeper Li and nodded secretly, this shopkeeper Li is really good at being a person.
"Shopkeeper Li, I originally came to talk to you about cooperation, but the food in your restaurant is not very good, I'm a little disappointed."
Shopkeeper Li raised his eyebrows, "Oh~~ The chef of our Zhenwei Building is a disciple of the master of the imperial dining room in the palace, and the taste is absolutely unique. So far, no one has said that our food is bad. ”
"Really? I don't feel very good, and I don't have a mind at all, just say this fish, Zhenwei fish, is a stewed fish, the taste is average, your chef in order to enhance the umami of the fish specially added a little wine, but the time to add the wine is not right, the wine is added late, and the stew time is not enough after adding, and it is not completely flavored. Besides, your side dish, a fish, added so many medicinal herbs, completely let the herbs cover the fragrance of the fish, thus making the fish lose its original taste. That's what you say???? Also, there are many fish practices, and I think your restaurant's practices are too simple. ”
"Hahaha~ The little girl said wildly, there are many ways to return fish, Li's restaurant has been open for some years, and I haven't seen you such a rampant little girl, since you said that there are a lot of practices, then good, you tell me where you have eaten, and let Li see and understand."
Su Qiannuo said with an expression that he liked you who had never seen the world: "Then let's make a bet, I'll cook you a few dishes, if you say you've eaten it, then whatever you say, let me kowtow to you and apologize." If you haven't eaten it, then I'll take a stake in my dish. In the future, I will pay 60% of the profit for my dishes every month. How is it??? ”
Looking at Su Qiannuo's confident appearance, Shopkeeper Li said, "Okay, I'm going to see what tricks you little girl can play." After speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the kitchen with Su Qiannuo.
