"Hello, excuse me, may I ask ......" Gu Xiaoyou's sweet voice was muffled by the sound of "clang" iron.

Gu Xiaoyou pursed his lips helplessly, raised his voice a little, and called again: "This master, this master." ”

The response to her was still the sound of "clang" iron.

"The voice is so low that he may not be able to hear it." Zhou raised his voice in Gu Xiaoyou's ear and said, "Do you want to come closer." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Gu Xiaoyou replied, just wanted to step forward, and looked at the posture of the strong man splashing the sparks with the hammer, and retreated.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoyou was not advancing but retreating, Zhou asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I can call him here." Gu Xiaoyou pulled the corners of his mouth and said.

"What do you call him here?" Didn't you call it just now? The man didn't react at all.

"Look at me."

Gu Xiaoyou said and put the things on the stone table at the door, moved his fingers a few times, then took a deep breath, put his two hands to his mouth, made the shape of a horn, raised his voice and shouted: "This master, please take care of us!" ”

Her word "down" was deliberately sounded.

And the strong man heard the sound when Gu Xiaoyou shouted "we", and the action of striking the iron immediately stopped.

But Gu Xiaoyou's shouting didn't stop, and the quiet courtyard instantly echoed with the sound of "go down and down".

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became a little awkward, and the strong man looked at Gu Xiaoyou speechlessly, he was thinking about what this girl was here for.

"May I ask what the two of you are doing when you come to the iron shop?" The strong man broke the silence and asked.

Gu Xiaoyou smiled awkwardly: "We are here to order an iron pot." ”

"Okay, may I ask what kind of iron pot do you want, there are some ready-made ones in the shop, you can pick and choose." The strong man said.

Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand: "There is definitely no iron pot I want in your shop." ”

After that, he took out two drawings from his pocket and said to the strong man: "I want such a pot." ”

The strong man took the drawings and looked at them, and the pots on the two drawings were something he had never seen before, which was quite interesting.

He took a closer look and found that the blueprint of the pan was simple, he could make it, but the other pot was a bit strange.

"Dare to ask the girl, what do you mean by how many circles there are on this round pot?" The strong man asked puzzled.

"This pot is flat like a pan, but there is no rim, and the circle inside is concave, probably so big that the concave is in." Gu Xiaoyou used two fingers to compare the distance.

"I see, what's the bottom of the pot?" The strong man asked.

"The bottom of the pot is like a pot, and you can put all these circles in it." Gu Xiaoyou replied, thought for a while and added: "The handle of this pot should be long, and it is best to make a lid." ”

Gu Xiaoyou finished describing the pot for making egg burgers, and the strong man asked a few more detailed questions before he nodded: "I understand what the pot the girl wants, I can give it a try." ”

"Great, if it can be done, I will ask for ten of each pot, and I will give you the deposit." Gu Xiaoyou said as he took out the silver from the money bag, took several ingots of silver and stuffed them into the strong man's hands.

"A pengot of silver is enough." The strong man returned the extra silver to Gu Xiaoyou.

Gu Xiaoyou put away the silver and asked, "How many days will it take to make it?" ”

"About three days." The strong man replied with an estimated measure.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick it up in three days."

After speaking, Gu Xiaoyou picked up things from the table and left the iron shop with Zhou.

The next day, eight cooks came to the backyard of the Youlian paper shop on time to report.

Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou sent the assigned recipes to them.

The cooks looked at it curiously, and originally thought it was a recipe for common food, but they didn't expect that the recipe of each food was very fresh, and the method was novel and interesting.

"Steaks can still do this, the little ones are really insightful."

"It's a novelty to be able to use vegetable juice to make dough."

"Can rice still be fried? It's so thoughtful. ”

The cooks took the recipes in their hands and discussed, and found that the recipes in each person's hands were not very different, and eight people had different recipes in their hands, preferably fifty or sixty dishes, and immediately understood the reason for the secrecy required in the contract.

"Okay, everybody listen to me." Gu Xiaoyou interrupted their discussion and said loudly.

"Speak, please." The cooks quieted down and focused their attention on Gu Xiaoyou.

"The recipe is researched by Sister Zhou and me, I believe you have noticed that our recipes are different from the food sold outside, I hope you can all calm down and learn from Zhou, don't despise this job because of your previous experience."

Gu Xiaoyou said a long list of mobilization words, and she didn't realize that she was becoming more and more bossy.

"Yes, don't worry." The cooks replied in unison.

"Without further ado, let's start training." After Gu Xiaoyou finished speaking, he turned to Zhou: "Sister Zhou, I'll leave it to you next." ”

"Hmm." Zhou nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone follow me into the kitchen first, I'll arrange everyone's stove, and then distribute cooking tools to you." ”

"Yes." The cooks answered and followed Zhou into the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Zhou arranged the positions according to each person's strengths, and then took out the notes he had made, and first instructed them to prepare the main ingredients and accessories according to the recipe.

The cooks began to prepare the ingredients according to the recipe, and Zhou followed Gu Xiaoyou's example, putting his hands behind his back to check them one by one, and pointing out a few words from time to time.

Gu Xiaoyou stood at the door of the kitchen and saw that Zhou's work was decent, so he relieved himself and turned around and left the backyard.

She first went to the breakfast shop under renovation to watch the workers at work for a while, and then walked around the shops.

There was no big problem with each store, so Gu Xiaoyou got into the carriage and started the market research of her Beijing food shop.

Waiting for Gu Xiaoyou to sit firmly on the carriage, the subordinate who drove the car asked, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

"Well, do you know which street has the most food shops?" Gu Xiaoyou asked.

"The slave knows that there are several alleys, and there are some big restaurants." The servant replied.

Gu Xiaoyou thought for a while and said, "Then go to the small alley first, how to go along the way." ”

Since ancient times, food has come out of the alley.

"Yes, the little one will take you there, please sit tight." The subordinate respectfully answered, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and drove in the direction of the small alley.

After a cup of tea, the carriage arrived at the small alley of the next mouth.

Gu Xiaoyou lifted the hem of her skirt, stepped out of the carriage, and looked around curiously.

I saw that there was a shop on the corner of the small alley, and the shop was already open, emitting steaming white smoke, shrouding the small alley in a layer of smoke.
