"Smack!"

"As mentioned last time, Zhuge Kongming placed the natal lamp in the military tent of Wuzhangyuan, intending to continue Yangshou, and it has been six nights. I don't want to, on the last night, I was bumped into the tent by Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, who had a long backbone in the back of his head, and kicked over Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's natal lamp! ”

"Prime Minister Zhuge became ill from hard work, and finally fell ill in the military camp of Wuzhangyuan......"

Lao Meng shook his head and said that he was commenting on the story, while the old guests were eating peanuts, nibbling on melon seeds, drinking a big bowl of tea, and listening with relish. Most of these old guests who come to listen to Lao Meng's stories are his loyal listeners, but according to Lao Shi, he secretly told me that Lao Meng will also talk about three books: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", and he has been talking here for almost ten years. When he used to say, his ears were almost calloused, and he could even memorize them.

"If I didn't speak Mandarin well, I would have been able to speak it when I went up!" Old Shi teased.

"As long as there are ghosts who like to listen, it's okay!" When I first arrived, I didn't want to chew my tongue behind people's backs, so I said haha.

Lao Shi shook his head and said: "You didn't understand the situation when you first came, and there are fewer and fewer old customers who have come to listen to the book recently, otherwise Boss Hou wouldn't have thought about letting him change his mind." ”

"Isn't Boss Hou unable to take care of Yuanbaolou, why does Lao Meng have to ask what book he says?"

"Shh The old man hurriedly made a gesture to shut me up. He whispered to me, "I see that you are new, so I won't bother with you, but I don't dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future!" ”

"Why?"

Lao Shi said: "In this ingots building, except for Chef Jin and Xu Da's account room, they were all introduced by our boss Hou, do you think he wants to care?" ”

I see! It seems that yesterday when Tang Laoguo scolded Hou Dapan, the sentence "Are there still few outsiders in the Yuanbao Building?" That's what it means!

Hou Dapen relied on his status as an acting committee member to constantly insert his relatives or cronies into the Yuanbao Building, and the purpose was naturally self-evident. In other words, in this small ingots building, there are only a dozen people inside and out, and they are vaguely divided into three groups of people, and they all have backers behind them!

Jin Dasco is the head chef, and it seems that he has the highest position and the most power in this restaurant, but in fact he is a loner, and he can only have the final say in the kitchen. And behind him, it is naturally his master Zhao Laodao. The people who ran the hall and helped the cook, including Lao Meng and Wang Xiaoer outside the door, were all Hou Dapan's people, but the number of people didn't mean anything, and these people couldn't speak in the store. And Xu Dawan, who is in charge of the counter accounts, is Donald's most trusted second apprentice, who is not inconspicuous, but holds the most critical position in his hands.

And myself, at present, is still in a very delicate position, I should belong to a single person who does not rely on the three non-dependents, and there is no backing behind me. However, this statement from the old time obviously counted me in their ranks, and it was tacitly accepted that I also came in through the relationship of Hou Dapen. I don't want to clarify this matter for the time being, but after a long time, I can't hide it.

In addition to listening to books, there are also many regular customers who want to try the signature dishes of Yuanbaolou. Yuanbaolou focuses on Cantonese cuisine, with exquisite knife work, paying attention to the matching of ingredients and heat, and the color, flavor and flavor. Among them, white-cut chicken, roast suckling pig and royal swallow are the three most famous signature dishes, and the price is also the most expensive.

These three dishes are not necessarily peculiar in terms of cuisine, and they seem to be the same as those sold to living people in hotels outside. But when it comes out of the pot, it is not hot, but cold yin!

When he was old, he was an ordinary person and had never practiced Yin Gong, so when he was serving, he always had to take off the towel on his shoulder and pad the plate before he dared to serve it. I'm fine, I can get started directly, but it just feels a little cold. When I saw it in the old age, I couldn't help but be surprised. At first, he tried to stop me, but after listening to my explanation, he immediately looked at me differently.

I asked when I was old, why were these dishes so cold?

Lao Shi said: "This is a ghost meal, a dish that Chef Jin fried with Yin Gong and specially for ghosts." Those old customers eat it, they can nourish yin and nourish deficiency and increase resentment. We living people wouldn't dare touch it, but you shouldn't care. ”

"So powerful?" I was surprised. In vain, I have been in this ghost market for a few months, and I have never even heard of this "domineering" dish! For the first time, I saw with my own eyes that in addition to drawing talismans, casting spells, and catching ghosts, Yin power can also be used to stir-fry!

"Such a good dish, and so profitable, why don't you make takeout?" Another question suddenly occurred to me. Even the small stall of Lin Da Chopsticks knows how to develop a new business model and strive for customers, why doesn't Yuanbao Lou do it?

Lao Shi said: "This is because the yin qi in the ghost meal is easy to lose, so the dishes must be eaten on the spot after they are fried, and after a while, all the yin qi in it will be dispersed!" ”

"Oh, got it!"

I noticed that I was not the only one who dared to serve food directly, and one of the young men in Tsing Yi in the kitchen seemed to pay special attention to my movements. And he also caught my attention, because he also had direct access to ghost food and the special ingredients that were bubbling with yin qi.

I asked Lao Shi privately, and Lao Shi told me that the little cook was called "Qin Xiao Table", the "table" of the table. Tables, chairs, stools, shelves, cabinets, and anvils, it turns out that he, like Ma Xiaostool, is the third generation disciple of Yuanbaomen, and he ranks first.

Qin Xiaotable is another perineal person in the kitchen in addition to the golden spoon. Therefore, he is now the right-hand man of Jin Dasco, and he can already be responsible for preparing some simple cold dishes on his own. However, Qin Xiaotable has nothing to do with Jin Da Scoop, but he is the only apprentice under Hou Da Pen!

Although I didn't finish the sentence when I was old, I can see the subtlety at a glance. Qin Xiaotable must have been specially arranged by Hou Dapen to work under Jin Dascoo, the purpose is obvious, that is, he wants Qin Xiaotable to prepare to succeed Jin Dadao in advance. And Jin Dascoop was also forced to use Qin's small table, because he hadn't accepted apprentices yet, and he couldn't be busy with things in the kitchen alone.

Xu Dawan on the counter has been silent, only in charge of cashier and bookkeeping, and it seems that the business problems of the store have nothing to do with him. However, don't look at him fat, he is also perineal, and when he counts the coins with his hands, his hand speed is no less than that of an excellent bank counter clerk.

The first night of my part-time job in the Yuanbao Building, I finally didn't make any mistakes and passed it smoothly. Lao Shi, Lao Meng, Wang Xiaoer, and other running jobs all get along well with me. Jin Dasco is busy with business, so he basically doesn't have time to pay attention to me, and Xu Dawan doesn't look down on me.

Only the Qin Xiaotable looked at me with a look that didn't seem to be too friendly......
