Chapter 57

"Who is your master?"

"It's the old chef."

"You can fry it again in a while and show me how unpalatable it is." Ye Lan smiled, she still trusted her instincts.

"Miss, I really don't." Niu Er became nervous, facing Ye Lan, who was shorter than himself, like a child.

"It's okay, you just fry it casually, isn't there still an empty pot, what will you do, or think you are good at growing dishes, prepare it yourself, and let Niu San make a fire for you."

"Brother, since this young lady asked you to do it, you will do it." Niu San persuaded his brother, he knew that his brother liked to cook, but he was timid and had no self-confidence, so he finally mustered up the courage to show his hand in front of the chef, and he didn't dare to hold a spoon anymore after being scolded.

Seeing that Ye Lan and his younger brother had spoken, Niu Er struggled for a while, feeling that the spoon was inexplicably attractive to him, and finally picked it up,

"Then I'll cook a cabbage, if it's unpalatable, don't scold me, Miss."

"Hehe, no, you can do it with confidence, as long as you make the dish with your heart, you should be respected." Ye Lan smiled and spoke.

Niu Er hadn't heard this, but the first time he heard it, he felt that his chest was full, and he felt that something couldn't fit and was going to flow out, so he nodded again and again,

"I see."

Niu Er's boiled cabbage is very simple, but after he got out of the pot, Ye Lan tasted it, and found that although it is not a master's work, at least, it is better than the second-hand art of the shopkeeper, this is the shopkeeper's best dish, and it turns out that the master, she has never eaten him to make boiled cabbage, I don't know how, but one thing is certain, this Niu Er is not a kitchen idiot.

"Isn't it unpalatable?" Seeing that Ye Lan didn't speak for a long time, Niu Er spoke awkwardly.

"How about you cook your own food, don't you know yourself?" Ye Lan looked at Niu Er with a smile, "You haven't eaten it yourself?" ”

"I was sold into a large family as a coolie, every day to eat is ready-made, no chance to do it myself, and then the contract came out to me, to Juxian Lou to do chores, there are ready-made meals here every day, I don't need to do it, today is my second spoon." Thinking that he has been running for three years, and has worked in a restaurant for five or six years, today is the second time in his life that he is in charge, Niu Er suddenly felt embarrassed, how did he feel that he didn't feel like a hard-working person but like a young master from a big family.

"If this is the second time in your life, then I have to say that you still have a talent for cooking, at least better than the second talent." Ye Lan smiled,

"You can try your own dishes."

"Really?" The first time he was affirmed, Niu Er couldn't believe it, and when he got Ye Lan's encouraging eyes, he hurriedly took chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.

"Brother, I'll try it too." Niu San also brought chopsticks over.

"Hmm...... It's better than the second brother, it's better than the original chef, brother, last time you made this dish in front of the chef, why did the chef scold you for nothing, obviously this tastes good. Niu San's face was furious,

"Could it be that he actually did it on purpose, afraid that your skills would surpass him and replace him?"

"At that time, the chef scolded you for making something unpalatable, didn't you even taste it yourself?" Ye Lan suddenly felt as if she had seen a scene of intrigue.

"The chef was so angry that he scolded me and poured my food into the bucket, and I didn't even have time to taste it myself." Niu San explained with a bitter face.

"If it was similar to this last time, Niu San's words would have been explained." Ye Lan touched her chin and replied.

"On that dog day, Lao Tzu asked him to settle accounts, and he dared to calculate my brother." Niu San had a hot temper and immediately wanted to find someone to settle accounts.

"Niu San, why are you going, come back to me." Niu Er hurriedly pulled Niu San.

"Brother, don't pull me, let me settle accounts with that bastard."

"Forget it, Niu San, it's been so long, and besides, the chef is no longer here, if we go to him for trouble, we will find trouble with Longfeng Shop, trouble with Longfeng Shop, Longfeng Shop must not trouble us Juxianlou, there is a crisis in the restaurant now, we can't make trouble with Juxianlou anymore, so that Longfeng Dian has an excuse to deal with our restaurant."

"Brother, are we going to let him go like this?"

"He's also afraid that I'll rob him of his job, and it's reasonable to deal with me, people are not polite to us, we can't be unkind to others, Niu San, have you forgotten what our mother said, you must always be a good person."

"Alas!" Niu Er insisted on refusing to find someone to take revenge, and Niu San had no choice but to return to his seat and continue to burn the fire.

Ye Lan silently watched the two brothers arguing, thinking that these two brothers seemed to be honest people, if this Niu Er was really talented in cooking, he could pull him,

"Okay, don't quarrel, you want revenge, you don't have to beat or scold each other, I have a way to get you revenge, are you interested?"

"What's the solution?" Niu Er didn't speak, and Niu San's eyes were shining.

"Although he doesn't gather in Xianlou now, but he is now gathering the enemy in Xianlou, so he is now in your hostile position, isn't that chef afraid that Niu Er's cooking is better than his own and robbing him of his job, Niu Er, are you interested in being a chef, the war between Juxianlou and Longfeng Shop is also a war between two chefs, whoever has good craftsmanship can keep guests, you have to use your strength to defeat that chef, he is so angry that he vomits blood, and let the owner of Longfeng Shop dig him over to give him a good look."

"Brother, this is a good way, just do it." Niu San jumped up excitedly when Ye Lan said it.

"Niu San, don't get excited, how can I be a chef in those two moments, the shopkeeper has said, the owner is going to invite a celebrity chef back from outside." Niu Er looked at his younger brother speechlessly.

"Juxian Lou is such a big restaurant, if the business is really good, a chef is not enough at all, you do you, he invites him, what are you afraid of." Ye Lan looked pleasing to the two Niu brothers, and couldn't help but encourage them,

"Niu Er, you fry a few more simple dishes, take them to the shopkeeper for a while, and see what he says, can he make you a chef, even if you are not a chef, being a little chef is better than you being a handyman, you have to believe in yourself."

"Brother, it's done." Niu San is obviously more decisive than Niu Er.

With the encouragement of Ye Lan and Niu San, Niu Er finally nodded, took a knife and walked towards the copywriting, and also opened the first page of his brilliant life.

When Niu Er fried three dishes, Ye Lan's pot bottom was also ready, so let Niu Er help put the fire on the charcoal stove and move it to the hall by the way, and inform the shopkeeper that he was okay, clean the bottom of the pot and let Niu San help bring it out, and he walked out with the vegetables that were washed and cut and put on the plate.

The round shopkeeper and Xiao Er were already waiting in the hall, watching Niu Er and Niu San serve the dishes back and forth, looking at Ye Lan with some puzzlement, "Xiaoyou, what is the red light in this pot, why do you need a stove, these dishes are raw, even the meat is raw, how to eat them?" ”

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, when Niu Er and Niu San come, let's eat together, anyway, you don't have any guests here, so you won't do business today." Ye Lan smiled, waiting for Niu Er Niu San to bring out all the things,

"Shopkeeper, you try these dishes first and see how they taste."

Green pepper shredded pork, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour Chinese cabbage, is Niu Er's masterpiece, hearing Ye Lan let the shopkeeper taste the taste, and immediately stood next to him like a little daughter-in-law and didn't dare to move.

The round shopkeeper only thought that Ye Lan was doing it, and took the chopsticks and tasted it, "Well, the taste is okay, it is about the same level as my original chef, but I don't see that Xiaoyou is young and his skills are not bad." ”

"Hehe, shopkeeper, don't get me wrong, this is not me doing, this is Niu Er, I just made a hot pot." Ye Lan innocently pointed to her hot pot,

"Although the chef was poached, the shopkeeper didn't let the two people in the kitchen try it and let Xiao Er take charge, which is not a wise decision."

"Did Niu Er do it?" The round shopkeeper glanced at Niu Er in surprise, and then looked back at the stealing and found that the taste was a little more depressed than his own, Xiao Er, the corners of his mouth twitched,

"This Niu Er usually doesn't like to talk like a stuffy gourd, Xiao Er took the initiative to recommend himself, I thought he was usually very clever, so I gave him a chance, who knows...... Niu Er, why don't you say that you can cook, and it tastes so good. ”

"I ......" Niu Eryi was nervous and speechless, so he could only ask for help and look at his younger brother and Ye Lan.

"My brother was frightened by Chef Wang...... "Niu Er's ability to speak doesn't mean that Niu San can't, and he poured beans at the moment as if he told him what happened before, his face was full of anger, his brother was so honest, he didn't say anything when he was bullied, so he didn't know about it, if Ye Lan didn't ask today, he might not know about it for the rest of his life.

"This Wang chef, I attach so much importance to him, it turns out that he is not only ruthless and unrighteous, but his heart is still small, I found him to be a cook, but it was really unlucky, fortunately he is gone, Niu Er, you will be in charge of the spoon in the future." The round shopkeeper looked angry.

"Shopkeeper, I, I'm in charge, I, can I?" Happiness came too much, Niu Er couldn't believe it.

"Well, try it for a month first, if it's going to work, I'll give you a salary increase." The round shopkeeper knows how to attract a person, which is nothing more than a money word.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the shopkeeper said that he would raise his salary, Niu Er immediately said with a firm look in his eyes, saying that he would definitely do a good job and never live up to the trust of the shopkeeper.

"Ahem, that, everyone can try my hot pot." After being ignored for a long time, Ye Lan finally found an opportunity to interject.

Successfully attracted everyone's attention, but for the lettuce and raw meat on the plate, everyone questioned again, will they not be allowed to eat raw, or is this actually after special treatment to look like raw but actually cooked?

"The reason why hot pot is called hot pot is because this is a form of eating while burning the fire, these vegetables and meat are raw, what do you like to eat, take it yourself and put it in the pot, isn't the fire in this stove burning, isn't the water boiling, after the thing is cooked, pick it up and put it in a bowl, dip it in my special seasoning, and you can eat it." Ye Lan put a cabbage leaf in it, took it out and demonstrated it after it was blanched, and then everyone understood.

Several people sat in a circle around the stove, very strange for this way of eating, after seeing Ye Lan's way of eating, the shopkeeper also tried it, and then, and then the first bite of Ye Lan reminded that it didn't burn herself, but it was so spicy that she had tears flowing down, but the kind of heat that radiated from the inside out was so spicy that the shopkeeper called it cool.

This round shopkeeper is usually kind, today everyone is allowed to sit together to eat this hot pot, strange, everyone is more self-conscious, especially after the first bite, everyone keeps putting things inside, constantly fishing things outside, and constantly stuffing things into the mouth.

It's been a long time since I've eaten hot pot, Ye Lan still misses her, she is very fast but magical, neither hot nor spicy to herself, and she can still speak,

"Shopkeeper, how is my hot pot?"

"It's delicious, and it's delicious." The shopkeeper took the time to answer, and the tears were so spicy that he felt very enjoyable.

"This way of eating is called hot pot, this pot of soup, is the bottom of the pot, the bottom of the pot can put some of your favorites, such as the bottom of the pork ribs pot, the bottom of the chicken pot, the bottom of the fish pot, the bottom of the beef pot, the bottom of the mutton pot, etc., etc., the good season for eating hot pot is the season when the weather becomes cooler, and now it is very suitable, especially when the cold wind is flying outside, sit with three or two friends to eat a hot pot, spicy tears, hot sweat, this feeling is very cool, after eating hot pot, the whole body can warm up, the important thing is, Whether it's eating a hot pot with friends or family, does it feel lively? ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper didn't answer, and had already begun to grab the little two and the cow and nodded quickly.

"Don't talk about the northern land, even if it is the entire Chu country, there is no way to eat like this, diners always like to try it, once the hot pot is launched, I promise, it will be very popular, shopkeeper, do you think with my hot pot, can I rob the business of Longfeng Restaurant?"

"Yes, absolutely, Xiaoyou, I bought this method of making hot pot for you, don't sell it to others." The shopkeeper was scooping vegetables in the pot, and he opened his mouth while turning over some hot vegetables.

"Since I'm sitting here, of course I plan to sell this method to the shopkeeper, don't worry, Baojiao Baohui, and we'll talk about it after we finish eating this pot." Ye Lan chuckled, looking at the hot food and didn't want to pay attention to the four of herself, if this is the reaction, it turns out that she is hot pot, and this era is still very marketable.

Because the gate of Juxian Building and Longfeng Store is opposite, so the situation inside this Juxian Building, the shopkeeper of the Dragon and Phoenix Store on the opposite side can see it clearly, seeing a few people eating happily around a pot of food, and some curiosity in his heart, and at this time, several diners are planning to enter the Dragon and Phoenix Store, and suddenly find the situation of Juxian Building, and then look at the shopkeeper of Longfeng Store is also stretching his neck to look at Juxian Building, I can't help but be curious, there are no guests in this Juxian Building, why is the shopkeeper Xiao Er not in a hurry to eat happily in the hall?

The expression of grabbing food was so enthusiastic that several diners came to Juxian Lou uncontrollably, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a trace of spicy fragrance, and their saliva immediately flowed.

"Shopkeeper, what are you doing here?"

"Yo, the three masters are here, but they want to eat?" As soon as Xiao Er saw it, his professional inertia came out, and he completely forgot that Ye Lan had just said that he would not have to open for business today.

"What are you guys?" As soon as Xiao Er got up, the three diners saw the hot pot on the stove.

"This is the store's signature dish that is about to be launched, hot pot, today is a tasting, if a few guests don't dislike it, it's better to sit down together and try it, and the shopkeeper treats." Ye Lan seized this opportunity to invite.

"Okay." Whether it is the dish or the shopkeeper's treat, the words are very attractive, and the three diners immediately nodded in agreement.

The shopkeeper recognized that these three diners were frequent visitors to Juxian Lou before, and the economic conditions were also good, so he got up and invited the three of them, Niu Er and Niu San and two people consciously got off the table, Xiao Er brought chopsticks and bowls, and carefully explained how to eat, Ye Lan gave some of the concocted seasonings to the three of them.

The three diners sat down, and after eating two chopsticks, they reacted like everyone else, the chopsticks kept stretching into the pot, and the mouth was delicious, and the shopkeeper saw that it was not enough to prepare vegetables and meat, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Er to go to the kitchen to prepare some more, Ye Lan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and entered the kitchen with Xiao Er.
