Master Xiao is actually older than Ding Er, and before Ding Er came to Yingxian Tower, Master Xiao was always in charge of the back kitchen. Later, Ding Er sat in the position of chef, and Chef Xiao took a back seat, but he did not hold a grudge because of this.

Ding Er's cooking skills are better than him, he serves this, there is nothing to complain about.

In terms of character, Master Xiao has passed the test, and his loyalty to the Ye family is beyond doubt, after so many years, he is already an old hero of the Ye family.

To put it mildly, Master Xiao and his family are all working in the Ye family, even if Master Xiao wants to be disloyal, he has to weigh whether the consequences of betraying the Ye family can be bearable.

In addition, hot pot restaurants are different from restaurants, and the requirements for cooking skills are not so high, as long as the recipe of the base ingredients is good, the water quality is good, and the quality of the side dishes is passable, the taste is not bad.

And Master Xiao's cooking skills are only one line behind Ding Er, so it is perfect for him to be in charge of the entire kitchen.

Now that the chef has been chosen, the next step is to train the service staff in the store.

This work is naturally taken over by Xue Wu.

Three days passed, and the hot pot restaurant opened.

Ye Diao, Xue Wu and many invited peers or gourmets gathered at the hot pot restaurant, and even the county commanders Zhu Hongda and Feng Lao came to cheer.

Under the attention of everyone, Ye Diao and Xue Wu tore off the red silk cloth covering the plaque together, revealing the big words "Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant" underneath.

Mountains and seas, taking the meaning of "delicacies of mountains and seas", include all kinds of delicacies.

Immediately, Ye Diao took the fire fold handed by the long attendant beside him, lit the firecracker, and in the crackling and lively sound, everyone rushed in and sat down in the lobby under the guidance of the guy.

Ye Diao announced loudly: "Today, our hot pot restaurant opens with a big reward, and all guests will spend 20% off in this restaurant in the first three days!" ”

As pots of hot pot soup were served, an extremely domineering fragrance spread in the lobby, and even wafted outside the store, attracting people passing by to look at it curiously.

Some of them walked directly into the store and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Xiao Er, I see that your plaque says the word 'hot pot', I don't know what this hot pot is? And your table, why is there a piece in the middle? ”

"Guest, please look at the menu." Xiao Er handed over a beautifully painted booklet and opened it, "This is hot pot, there are various flavors for guests to choose from, and there are hundreds of ingredients, the prices are written in the back, wait for the soup base to boil, put the dishes into the pot, and when they are cooked, they can be eaten."

"The recessed piece in the middle of the table is used to put the pot. There is a special stove under the table for charcoal fire, if the fire becomes smaller, you can also call the guy to come and add charcoal. ”

The guy pointed to the sauce area again: "There are all kinds of sauces over there, you can make your own flavor dishes according to your taste, or you can let the guy do it for you." ”

The guys in the lobby wore uniform dark blue shirts and trousers, the material was very dirt-resistant, and they wore hats on their heads, and their hair was tucked in, and their images looked clean and neat.

It gives a very good impression.

He is also very patient when explaining the rules of the store.

The guests nodded frequently, showing a look of surprise or abruptness, "Well, I probably understand what this hot pot is, bring me a mandarin duck pot, dishes, this, this, and this ......"

I ordered dozens of them in one go.

The guy secretly made a note to himself, "Wait a minute, the little one will go and bring the dishes." ”

As soon as the guy turned around, he almost collided with another guy, and the two hurriedly nodded to each other and went their separate ways.

Not only are the guys busy, but even Ye Diao, the boss, doesn't even have time to sit down and drink saliva.

Although a lot of preparations had been made in advance, on the first day of opening, there were still frequent problems, Ye Diao ran up and down to solve it, and his voice was smoking.

As the actual big boss, Xue Wu naturally couldn't stand by and watch, and the work of entertaining guests fell on her.

Of course, it's mainly the female guests.

On this day, the street where the hot pot restaurant is located has always been filled with that domineering spicy smell, which makes people taste it.

After working for most of the day, the store was not a little idle until the middle of the afternoon, but there were still customers who came one after another.

However, the guys and maids were already able to deal with it, and the two bosses, Xue Wu and Ye Diao, could finally take a breath and sit down to eat something.

They haven't eaten much since the morning.

The two went to a specially vacated private room in the store, ordered a mandarin duck pot, and ate it slowly.

Ye Diao felt that the food made in the store was not as delicious as the one made by Xiaoxian that day, but it was also possible that it was because he ate it for the first time that day, so that amazing taste has always remained in his heart, and these days he has been trying hot pot in the store, and his tongue has been a little numb.

Although, however, he still ate with relish.

In the evening, when Xue Wu returned to Zhao's Mansion from the store, when she soaked in the bathtub, she always felt as if she had forgotten something.

Tang family.

Daddy Tang had already finished the bag, and glanced at the door from time to time, but he didn't wait for Xue Wu to come over.

Ping'an said: "Old man, Sister Zhao is estimated to have something delayed, I know where her home is, why don't I send her the bag over?" ”

"Okay, then you can take a trip."

Ping An picked up a small bamboo basket with a delicate lid, put the bag inside, and walked out briskly.

Xue Wu had just come out of the bathtub when she heard Ah Man come in and say, "Girl, I've sent you a bag safely." ”

Oh yes, her custom bamboo silk hand-knitted bag!

Xue Wu wiped her hair and came to the front hall.

When Ping An saw her, he immediately jumped up from the chair and handed the bamboo basket to her, "Sister Zhao, your bag." ”

Xue Wu took it with a smile, "Have you had dinner?" "While opening the lid of the bamboo basket.

Ping An scratched the back of his head, "Eat." ”

A small and delicate handbag lies in a bamboo basket, like a quiet sleeping beauty, waiting for the owner to wake her up.

Xue Wu picked it up and touched it lovingly, "It's so beautiful!" ”

Ping An grinned, "If you like it, it's fine." That...... I'll go back. ”

Xue Wu stopped him: "Wait, you sit for a while, I'll come when I go." ”

Ping'an had to sit back down, glanced at the pastry on the high table next to him, and secretly swallowed his saliva, but did not reach out to take it.

Xue Wu went to the kitchen and used a large three-layer food box with a small pot of sauce elbows, a bowl of steamed pork, and a large plate of meat buns.

Since the kitchen is also in charge of the food of a dozen people on the Foundation side, each meal is quite a lot, so that they can eat well and well.

Xue Wu carried the food box, and asked Ah Man to go to the tank where the fish was raised to catch a big black fish, and to catch an old hen in the cage.

The two of them returned to the hall with a bunch of food, and they were shocked when they saw Ping'an.

"I've packed some food for you, and you can take it back to have a meal with Uncle Tang and Sannier. Can the food box be moved? ”

Ping An hurriedly shook his hand and stepped back, "Sister Zhao, this, I can't ask for ......"
