Chapter 120: Loss of Control
Sure enough, as soon as the notice of Lin Jinxiu's potato cake was posted outside, it attracted a large number of customers.
Lin Jinxiu was so busy that she almost stuck out her tongue when she was tired.
But of course, good business is a good thing, and the white money has been stuffed into her pocket, which makes her feel good.
After all, a lot of money is also needed during the transformation of the store, and Lin Jinxiu feels that it seems that he should really hire another person.
Whether it's a chef, a running hall, or an account office, the three of them are really busy.
I just don't know if Huai Yanqing will feel that his status is threatened if there is another running hall.
"Shopkeeper! Another hash brown! ”
"Okay!" Lin Jinxiu's voice came from the kitchen.
Meanwhile.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing?" Cui Xu went to the street to search for mushrooms again, but only bought a small handful, and when he was thinking about how to try cooking, he was caught by Cui De.
Seeing Cui De's eager face, Cui Xu thought something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, is something wrong?" ”
"You're not cooking in the store, what are you doing outside?" Triad patted his brother's arm, "How long have you seen that guest wait for you?" ”
"Big brother, there are only a few days left, and I have to prepare for the competition." Cui Xu showed the mushrooms he bought back to Cui De, his face full of helplessness, "This mushroom is not an ordinary ingredient, it will be delicious if you make it a little." ”
"Oh, my brother, can't you go and study by yourself at night? How much do I have to lose when this wave of guests leaves? Trid's eyebrows furrowed.
Cui Xu sighed slightly: "Big brother, I've been called by you to cook for various business partners these past few nights, and I really don't have time to ......."
"Do you know what Lin Jinxiu is doing these days?" Cui Xu was interrupted by Cui De before he finished speaking.
Cui Xu shook his head.
"You're cooking and you're a nerd!" Triad patted his thigh, "Don't you know what your opponent is doing?" ”
Cui Xu shrugged: "What else can you do?" Study recipes like I do. ”
Cui De took out a packet of medicinal powder from his body and handed it to Cui Xudao: "That Lin Jinxiu has been walking back and forth on the street these days, asking a lot of things about mushrooms, whether it is the way of picking or making, she should know everything now!" ”
Cui Xu naturally took the packet of medicinal powder in Cui De's hand, and when he heard Cui De say this, he followed up and said, "So what? ”
"Why don't you open your mind!" Cui De was very anxious, "If Lin Jinxiu finds a way, you and I will not have any good fruit to eat!" ”
Cui Xu watched his eldest brother pacing back and forth, only to feel that his precautions against Lin Jinxiu were too heavy, he secretly shook his head, and shifted the topic to the medicinal powder in his hand: "Big brother, what is this?" ”
"An ancestral secret recipe at home." Triad replied, "Add this secret recipe to the dish and it will make the dish even more delicious!" ”
Cui Xu had never heard of such a thing as a chef for so long, so he frowned and asked, "What is the principle of this?" ”
"Passed down from my ancestors, I don't know." Cui De pointed to Cui Xu's palm, "Remember, you must put this in the cooking to ensure that your dish can be the first!" ”
"Big brother......" Cui Xu wanted to continue asking.
But Cui De turned around and left after hearing someone shouting at him: "I'm going to do business first, the guests who want to eat your food are almost gone, you can go to the back kitchen now and study it yourself!" The guests are not well entertained, at least the competition will give me a first place back! ”
With that, Cui De walked away by himself and left Cui Xu behind.
Cui Xu looked at his eldest brother's back, his head was full of question marks, and finally he had to shake his head and take the medicinal powder in his hand to the back kitchen to study.
A dish was quickly prepared.
Cui Xu divided the mushroom tofu pot he made into two parts, one of which mixed the medicinal powder that Cui De gave him.
As a chef, he has his own pride, and he doesn't want to add anything to his dishes, but since Trid asks for it, he adds a taste to see the difference.
The one without the powder was the one he was familiar with, and he always felt that the rich taste was a little lacking, but he hadn't figured out what he owed.
However, the part with the added powder ......
It's fragrant.
Very fragrant.
Just a little sniffing, Cui Xu actually had an appetite for the dishes he cooked.
However, the fragrance of this medicinal powder is so strong that it has covered up the unique flavor of the mushroom itself, although it is very fragrant, but Cui Xu does not like it, which goes against his original intention of cooking.
So Cui Xu put away the remaining medicinal powder, and decided to use his cooking skills to win the game.
"Big brother, let's try it." Cui Xu poured out the part that had been drugged, and put the part he made in front of Cui De.
Cui De sniffed it a little and found that there was no smell of the medicine in it, so he asked, "You didn't add the medicine I asked you to add?" ”
"The medicine will mask the smell of the mushroom itself, which is not good." Cui Xu shook his head, "It's very fragrant, but it's ......"
"Wait!" Cui De interrupted him again, "Your chef's rules and regulations Big brother doesn't understand, big brother has only one request for you, take care of this Qinghe Building, and then come back with the first place in the competition, is it okay?" ”
Although Cui De was obviously pleading, Cui Xu heard the second meaning: "Big brother, don't you believe that my level can get the first?" ”
"Brother Xu, listen to what the eldest brother says." Cui De patted his chest, "Lin Jinxiu, that woman, if you don't target her, you won't win!" ”
Cui Xu sighed, and finally said what he wanted to say: "Big brother, are you too wary of that woman?" She's just a cook, huh? ”
"You've seen a cook who can even beat a bandit!" Cui De was finally slapped on the table in anger, "That's how your second brother got in!" ”
Cui Xu saw it now, Cui De said it well, but in fact, he didn't want Cui Xu to defeat Lin Jinxiu openly in the game.
He just wants to defeat Lin Jinxiu, no matter what means he uses, a businessman like Cui De will only look at the final result, and he has no spirit of craftsmanship at all.
Cui Xu understands his eldest brother, but he can't do it because he is a chef and he has his own pursuits.
"Big brother, forgive me for not being able to do this." Cui Xu finally shook his head firmly, "I said that if you defeat her in a dignified manner, you won't use other methods." ”
"Why are you so stubborn!" Cui De saw that he couldn't persuade Cui Xu no matter how much he persuaded him, and he almost got angry.
Cui Xu didn't care: "When I insisted on becoming a chef, my eldest brother should have known my personality." ”
"You ......" Cui De pointed at Cui Xu, wanting to scold him but still didn't scold him after all, "Okay, if you don't get the first place in this competition, I want you to look good!" ”
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Cui Xu to sit on the chair alone, and sighed long: "What did I promise to come back for?" ”
Is it to be your own treasurer without working under someone else's hands? Or is it something else?
Suddenly, I couldn't remember.
After Tred left, he returned to his house.
Because Cui Li was arrested, the servants scattered and fled, and the Cui family's mansion was also deserted.
"Someone!" Triad shouted.
Several family members appeared behind him.
"According to the plan, arrange the organs!" Tread ordered.
The few family members looked at each other: "But Da Shao, Xu Shao will also be in the ...... of the mountain that day"
"I said it was laid out as planned!" Cui De said angrily, "I'll act, when will it be your turn to instruct?" ”
The family members hurriedly lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Then Cui Xu has no direction towards the Cui family at all in his heart, let alone Lin Jinxiu, even if he develops, it will become a stumbling block for me!" Triad said hatefully, "Leave him alone! ”
"Yes!" Following Cui De's order, the family members turned around and ran outside the house.
Cui De saw that they had already moved, and snorted coldly from his throat: "Cui Xu, Cui Xu, you can only blame yourself for being too embarrassed, what happened to this, it has nothing to do with my Cui family." ”
……
Finally, it was the day of the competition.
Lin Jinxiu went to the street to buy equipment in advance, others bought some side dishes or something, but Lin Jinxiu bought ropes, locks and other equipment that looked like climbing mountains.
Everyone is very puzzled, why did Lin Jinxiu buy these things?
Lin Jinxiu learned from the mushroom-picking mountain people that the best mushrooms always grow in strange places.
Lin Jinxiu also inquired about the trick, the mushroom is a good mushroom if it hangs upside down on the umbrella cover and does not turn.
She also bought the rope for this, in case she came across something good mushrooms that she couldn't reach, at least she could climb up and see, as long as it wasn't too high, she had no problem.
Lin Jinxiu adhered to the principle that everything must be done very seriously, and despite Huai Yanqing's dissuasion, he bought a rope, wanting to show the best batch of mushrooms in the mountains to the judges of the competition and the public.
Although it is just a cooking competition, people who don't want to participate in even a small competition seriously will be eliminated by big events one day.
At least that's what Lin Jinxiu thinks.
Changing into a light suit, Lin Jinxiu also bought men's cloud boots to wear them, and tied her trouser legs into the boots to prevent small insects and other things from crawling into her trouser tubes.
She didn't know much about the situation in the mountains, and if some poisonous insect crawled in and bit her, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Huai Yanqing saw Lin Jinxiu preparing things happily, and her eyebrows were about to twist into a knot: "Shopkeeper, what if the best mushrooms grow on the cliff." ”
"You see I'm not ready." Lin Jinxiu said while bolting his trouser legs, "Light clothes, rope, don't worry, I will pay attention to my safety." ”
"Even the night clothes have been moved out, you are indeed very well prepared, but you are a girl, and you don't know martial arts, how can you climb the cliff?" Huai Yanqing is still not at ease.
"How can you be sure that mushrooms must grow on cliffs?"
Lin Jinxiu patted Huai Yanqing on the shoulder: "Don't worry, boy, in my world, girl rock climbing is already a very common sport." ”
Although Lin Jinxiu's next sentence is yes, I haven't been rock climbing, but in order to reassure Huai Yanqing, she also pressed this sentence back into her stomach.
In the end, Lin Jinxiu persuaded Huai Yanqing with her three-inch incorruptible tongue, but Huai Yanqing said that he and Ning Er followed her to the scene of the game.
At least be able to stay on the sidelines and take care of it.
