Chapter 8: The First Meeting
When I arrived at the upstairs box, I told Li Bing to ask Xiao Er to serve a pot of tea, and after sitting down, I asked the shopkeeper to introduce the things of the restaurant in detail first.
The shopkeeper's name is Zhong Xian, his wife and son also work in the restaurant, his wife Aunt Wang is responsible for purchasing ingredients, and his son Zhong Liang is a junior.
Our Ruyi restaurant has been operating for several years, the decoration inside is the most primitive, every year it will only be repaired or renovated according to the original seams, if you need to rectify, there are special masters in the family to renovate.
The name of the chef who was poached was Hu Rong, who had participated in the Chef God Contest and won the first prize, and after the competition, his father extended an olive branch to him, and the one with the highest price had to invite the chef to our restaurant.
The restaurant's business has not been bad because of the chef's fame, and this also has a side effect, that is, the dependence is too strong, and now the chef is not there, and the business has plummeted. This chef's apprentice stayed, his name was Li Liang, because he was newly recruited by his father for a short time, and he didn't study for a long time, and his skills were not as high as his master, but at present, he could only go first.
There is also a new chef named Wu Shi, who has also participated in the Chef God Competition, but his name is only in the top ten, but according to the current situation of the restaurant, it is also urgently needed.
When I learned this, there was a knock on the door, and after the shopkeeper answered, Xiao Er pushed the door in, stepped forward and said: "Shopkeeper, there is a guest officer outside, and the dishes ordered are all made by the chef before, and now we can't supply them for the time being, so let's ask you what to do?" ”
After listening to what Xiao Er said, I asked the shopkeeper to be busy, and then I walked to the stairwell to watch the movement downstairs. Downstairs is a pair of master and servant, sitting is a young man, black hair is tied with a gold ribbon at will, the appearance is a tearing male level, the clothes on the body are very gorgeous, a dark purple robe, adding a bit of evil charm to his temperament, the waist is tied with a gold silk belt of the same color, on which is hung a piece of exquisite ink jade pendant, the hand gently shakes the ink-colored folding fan, and a golden dragon is painted on the fan surface, subtle and slightly warped.
Standing next to him was an older man, presumably a servant of the rank of a butler, dressed in a dark blue robe, his hair meticulously combed, and only a sachet hanging from his waist. Because from the beginning he was talking and ordering, occasionally looking at the sitting man to ask for advice, the man would simply nod in response.
The shopkeeper walked up to the man's table and asked, "Hello, guest officer!" I'm the shopkeeper of Ruyi Restaurant, I heard Xiao Er say that you just ordered a few dishes that we don't have here now, don't mind, that is a new Xiao Er, I don't know the rules very well. ”
"You're the shopkeeper of this restaurant, aren't you? We came to your restaurant today, I just ordered a few dishes from your little two, and he actually said that he wanted to ask you, right? Do you have to agree to such a trivial matter? ”
"Guest, the dishes you just ordered are the specialties of the previous chef, and now that chef has left our restaurant, I will recommend you a few specialties from our side now!" What do you think? ”
Hearing the conversation between the shopkeeper and the man standing, and then looking at these two men, who are either rich or expensive, thinking of the so-called specialties I ate, it is not good to satisfy the guests with the skills of these two chefs now, and it is time for me to show my own hand, and the opportunity to convince people has come.
