At half past ten in the evening, the next door kitchen closes.

It's not that there are no customers, it's that the ingredients are running out.

In this regard, everyone is helpless.

Li Can came to the front hall, and Su Rui was cleaning.

He took the towel around his neck in his hand, took a sip of the tea that had already been cooled, "Was there a quarrel outside just now?" ”

"It's not a quarrel, it's just that a few guests said that the fish-flavored shredded pork was not delicious and complained that it was not worthy of the name."

Li Can was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, come in and call me as soon as possible, so that I can know what the problem is." ”

Su Rui raised her head and barely showed a smile, "I know, but you don't have to care, you will inevitably encounter some guests with tricky tastes when doing catering, and it is difficult to reconcile everyone, it's normal, don't take it to heart." ”

"If only that were the case." Li Can walked towards the kitchen with a heavy heart, just opened the door curtain, put it down again, and asked uncertainly, "Did those guests who said they were dissatisfied come together?" ”

"It's not, it's.."

Su Rui blurted out without thinking, and then looked stunned, and realized that something was wrong,

"One by one, as if discussed, the previous one left a few minutes before the other appeared, every time I entered the store without asking anything, I ordered a dish and didn't eat a few bites and began to complain, saying that it was only worth a dozen yuan, causing many admiring guests to dispel the idea of wanting to try."

"Have you seen them before?"

"No, they are all unfamiliar faces, and they all look very fierce, by the way, there is a very strange person among them, wearing a peaked cap, and the brim of the hat is very low, as if he is afraid that others will see him, but the tattoo on his neck is very conspicuous, and it is here." Su Rui pointed to the lower contour of her cheeks.

Tattoos on the neck?!

"What kind of tattoo?" Li Can's face changed.

"I don't see that."

Su Rui thought to herself that there were so many people at that time, how could she have time to stare carefully at a stranger's tattoo? How rude.

However, before she finished her words, she saw Li Can still put the towel in his hand on the table with a 'snap', and rushed out murderously.

"Li Can, what are you doing!" Su Rui was shocked and hurriedly chased after her.

"Sister Su Rui, I'm fine, there's still a pot of boiling water in the kitchen, you can help me watch it." Li Cantou didn't say a word back.

Su Rui was so anxious that she ran back to the kitchen to see that there was no fire on the stove at all.

But when she chased it out again,

Li Can is gone.

……

The old street is more than 300 meters long, and in addition to restaurants, there are some grocery stores, hardware stores, mahjong parlors and other shops closely related to daily life along the way.

So aside from the guests who eat, the old street is actually quite lively.

Among them, the most popular place is naturally the 'hot kitchen' at the corner of the street.

The predecessor of the hot kitchen was a small shop selling steamed buns, and the owner was an old man surnamed Shen, and almost no one in the residents of Lao Cai did not know him.

Old man Shen was very able to endure hardships when he was young, and he got up on time at three o'clock in the morning every day to steam steamed buns.

In his time, there were not many shops operating restaurants, so this time and again, Old Man Shen became famous in the neighborhood and had the nickname of Shen Sanbao.

After the old man Shen found out that his bun shop was on fire, he took down the two storefronts next door, and within a few years, the business became bigger and bigger.

He began to dabble in other areas,

Ramen, potstickers, hot and sour noodles, and so on, but none of them are ideal.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer guests and the reputation was getting worse and worse, Old Man Shen was ruthless and spent a lot of money to hire Zhao Gang, who was the chef in a three-star hotel at that time.

Not to mention, since Zhao Gang came, with his good cooking skills, he has made the former steamed bun restaurant into a 'hot kitchen' that is now in full swing.

The restaurant focuses on stir-fried dishes at noon and Jianghu cuisine in the evening, and is open until one or two o'clock in the morning almost every day.

Old man Shen was happy to see it, and because of his advanced age, he had almost ignored the affairs of the restaurant in recent years, and handed over all the power to Zhao Gang to take care of it, and trusted him.

At this time, in the only private room of the hot kitchen, Zhao Gang was eating and drinking with several restaurant owners and a man wearing a duck-billed hat.

Between the laughter, the smoke filled.

There are so many people who smoke!

The table in front of them was large, filled with plates the size of a washbasin.

hot fat sausage,

braised crayfish in oil,

diced spicy chicken,

Stir-fried sixtieth nails,

double pepper fish maw,

Cold crucian carp, etc., no less than ten rivers and lakes dishes!

The dishes overlap each other, the oil and water are tilted,

As far as the eye can see, there is not a single vegetarian dish, which can be called luxurious!

"Ladies and gentlemen, come, let's toast the eagles together." Zhao Gang wore disposable gloves in his left hand, holding crayfish stained with sauce, and holding a wine glass full of wine in his right hand.

At his feet, there were a dozen or so empty wine bottles,

The amount of alcohol can be seen in general!

"Yes, yes, a glass to the eagle, hard work."

Several bosses are all elites in the society, and they reacted very quickly, and immediately took their respective wine glasses to dry, full of sincerity.

Seeing this, the eagle just casually raised his hand, holding his own wine glass and drinking only half of it.

The wine culture on the table is very particular.

If the younger generation respects the elders, the elders are free, and the juniors cheer.

If the elders respect the juniors, the juniors need to get up and hold the wine glass with both hands, and the mouth of the glass must be lower than the other party, otherwise it is disrespectful.

And now, a group of forty-somethings toasted together, but the eagle took a sip very casually, which shows that he thinks that his status is higher than everyone here, or that he simply looks down on him.

In this regard, the faces of several bosses were obviously a little unnatural, but they quickly covered it up.

The eagle turned a blind eye, pulled the collar to cover the tattoo on his neck, so that no one could see it, and then ate the sixtieth nail by himself.

Spit.

He spit out the leftover flower carapace on the ground at will, and the residual oil in the shell happened to splash on Zhao Gang's pants.

Zhao Gang withdrew his outstretched foot without a trace, pretending to turn a blind eye.

"Everyone, now that there is an eagle to make a move, it is absolutely impossible for that woman surnamed Su to get mixed up in the old street. Hmph, if you want to break the rules of the old street without our consent, there is no door! ”

"Indeed." A fat boss was drunk, his face was flushed, and his voice was loud, "Once she succeeds in changing the price, what will the customers think of our restaurants?" Is it because the taste is not as good as hers or is the ingredients not as good as hers? She clearly didn't take us seriously. ”

"What can a girl in her twenties understand? It's good to have suffered a loss. Another boss chimed in.

"But.." The middle-aged man sitting under the vent hesitated to speak, "Lao Zhao, I fully support you in what you do, but Brother Eagle he..."

Zhao Gang saw the other party's thoughts and said with a smile: "Although my brother is still wanted..."

"Ahem." The eagle coughed lightly, suggesting that the wall had ears.

Zhao Gang hurriedly laughed twice and continued: "Don't worry, everyone, the eagle does things in a measured way and won't mess around, and there is no need to be ruthless to a small restaurant, just let her retreat." ”

"That's good, that's good." Several bosses breathed a sigh of relief and picked up their glasses again.

At this moment, a fierce noise suddenly sounded outside the door,

then

The closed door was kicked open,

If time could be slowed down at this moment,

The metal door bolt can be seen directly collapsing, and the falling wooden door is like an off-string arrow under the blessing of power, just smashing Zhao Gang who is drinking with his head up.

Burst!

Where did Zhao Gang react, and directly choked out a sip of old wine,

I'm stunned!
