Chapter 21 The Girl Spring Peach Nine
Liu Changyi didn't know that his abacus had been known to Grandpa Zhang, he only thought that the people in the countryside were so foolish. He's happy right now, placing a large order in his house through someone who had eaten at the store last time. Someone spread the word about it, and Tao Huaiqing came to the door after knowing about it.
The two of them took a look at each other before entering the topic.
"Changyi, Manman has been in a bad mood lately, you can go and coax her more." Tao Huaiqing played his sister's sway.
"In a bad mood? Vines, what's wrong? I've been busy with my family's business lately, but I don't have much time to look for vines. Liu Changyi pretended. How could he not know why Tao Manman was in a bad mood, and it was not a girl's idea. When I went to Zuo's house to participate in someone's family banquet, I was compared to a girl at the banquet whose background was not as good as her. The two wore the same style of dress, and the other wore a better looking and more temperamental dress than her. Tell her how not to be angry. I heard that she also deliberately spilled wine on other girls. She can also be fooled by this kind of unpopular means, heh! It's really a child's IQ, that is, born in the Tao family.
"I heard that you have opened a new store. When I have time, I can bring someone over to see and cheer you on. After a long time, Tao Huaiqing finally said the purpose of coming to him.
Liu Changyi apologized: "Brother Tao, what do you say, I am free at any time." It's just that the cook in the store, with a bit of a weird temper, does whatever he likes. ”
"Chef, that's how it should be. That's not enough for you, though! Why didn't you notify us of the opening of a new store, if you hadn't heard about it, you wouldn't have opened a new store. Tao Huaiqing went around just to meet this legendary chef.
Liu Changyi shook the pot again: "Don't blame me for this, it's my chef who asked for it." He likes to be quiet, and he doesn't like too many people to be noisy. So I didn't arrange it. Since Brother Tao wants to go, I will communicate with him and introduce Brother Tao to him. ”
"I don't know what chef likes, the first time I go by, I can't be empty-handed."
"It's easy to say, he's a drinker, Brother Tao, when the time comes, bring your family's treasures and keep what he likes."
The two agreed on a time, and Tao Huaiqing arrived with Zuo Shuqing as promised.
There were a few strangers in the store, and they were all brought by Liu Changyi. Grandpa Zhang picked up the shelf, looked like he liked to eat or not, and put the menu in the hands of several people in front of him. For other people's questions, they also love to ignore them.
Zhang Chuntao is responsible for the work of waiters such as pouring tea and delivering water to people.
Grandpa Zhang only used half of his usual learning, which was enough to make these people outside unable to say anything.
Zuo Shujing is different, she is studying this aspect, and she tastes a few dishes and snacks made by Grandpa Zhang carefully. The taste could have been better, but I don't know why, but when it was served at the end, there was always a bit of a mistake.
Grandpa Zhang's treatment of this group of people is no different from that of the previous group, although these people are dressed and have an extraordinary demeanor. After Zuo Shujing finished eating, he respectfully asked Grandpa Zhang for some cooking questions, and the two discussed how to make this dish better and more special.
The two finally learned a lot of cooking skills, and Grandpa Zhang was shocked that Zuo Shuqing was so old and spicy at such a young age. The tongue is a must, as long as anything passes through her mouth, she will be able to taste what material it is made of. Zuo Shujing was also surprised that this dish could also do this, simple without losing its taste, which gave her a lot of inspiration. The dishes made by your own inspiration are your own. Rather than relying on other people's recipes to fill up.
Zuo Shuqing won the favor of Grandpa Zhang on this point, and the two often discussed the development of recipes, and Zhang Chuntao gave them a hand, and they also learned a lot from it. And Zuo Shuqing does things and speaks generously and does not hide his selfishness, Zhang Chuntao and Zuo Shuqing have become friends who talk about everything, and several other people have to retreat.
With the recommendation of Zuo Shuyan, the daughter of the God of Food, more and more people came to admire it.
Although the reputation of this store was finally made, it was not its own. Grandpa Zhang wanted to have his own shop, and he asked Liu Changyi to take this store down, everything remained the same, but the boss changed. At first, of course, Liu Changyi was unwilling. Seeing that the reputation of the store is getting bigger and bigger, of course he doesn't want to sell the management rights and change the legal person.
Grandpa Zhang also has his own considerations, if he doesn't do what he says, he may take his granddaughter back to the small county town and start a new business. Of course, Liu Changyi knew the intention of Grandpa Zhang's words, and as soon as he left, of course no one took over in this store. The recipe was in his hands, and the new chef couldn't make the taste that the guests wanted. Grandpa Zhang is the golden sign of this store, the signboard is gone, and the store naturally does not exist. It would be impossible for him to give in like this. He thought about it and came up with a compromise, he held the shares of the store, and the shares on both sides were equal.
Liu Changyi's wishful thinking was played, but unfortunately he met Grandpa Zhang, who did not play cards according to common sense. Although Grandpa Zhang doesn't understand the current company system and doesn't understand what he says, he knows that once outsiders intervene in the store, this dispute is inevitable. In the end, Liu Changyi retreated again and again, did not interfere in any business problems, and only took part of the dividends, and Grandpa Zhang agreed.
Zhang Chuntao, under the intervention of his grandfather, owned his own store in the shortest possible time. Even the signboard has been replaced with a slightly ancient name like Peach Blossom House. In the past, we were able to cope with small batches of diners with our own inherited recipes. But nowadays, there are more diners and more flavors. If the recipes of the predecessors were not updated today, the store would probably close down in a short time.
Zuo Shuqing was also worried, the arrival of Grandpa Zhang's family gave her a lot of inspiration, but it would take a long time to successfully develop a popular dish. Zuo's Qingping Le Restaurant has recently relied on adapting some old-fashioned recipes to attract new and old customers. But that's not enough, and customers will soon get tired of it.
The two big sad people sat together and sighed, and were driven out by Grandpa Zhang to relax. There was a vague scent in the air, hooking the two of them towards the same place. Finally, I stopped in front of a restaurant, and I couldn't move because of the fragrance inside, so I walked straight inside in search of the taste.
This is a small restaurant, only a pair of tables and chairs with a sense of the vicissitudes of time, and an open antique kitchen, which can be seen by people standing outside. The boss is a twilight old man, facing them on the side, wearing an ancient costume, and his hair is tied up to the middle top, which matches the environment of this store well, but his movements are not sluggish, his arms are vigorous and powerful, and he cooks smoothly and beautifully. There were people in the store, and the boss didn't pay attention to it, just cooking on his own.
The two watched intently as the boss transformed an ordinary cabbage from its original state into several delicious dishes, and involuntarily swallowed their saliva.
When the dish was ready, the owner brought it to the only wooden table in the store, and served it with a sweet and delicious main dish.
"Please!" The shopkeeper made a gesture for them to please. There are only two short chairs, and the two sit on either side. The shopkeeper took another pot of sake in a white porcelain bottle with a cyan pattern, took out two glasses, poured a shallow glass of sake for the two of them to taste, and then took the flask.
Zhang Chuntao smelled the fragrance, the fragrance came to his face, and then he tasted a bite of the dish, like flying in the clouds. The staple food is crystal clear white rice, which is sweet and soft and glutinous in one bite, like drinking elixir. The food and rice are so extraordinary, then this wine is even more amazing, you have to taste it well. The two of them unanimously picked up the wine glass in front of them, which only contained a sip of wine, and tasted it little by little. Wine is ordinary wine, and there is nothing special about it.
The meal lasted for an hour until there was nothing left of the plates and bowls.
"Boss, it's delicious." Zhang Chuntao reminisced about the taste of food, it was really mouthful, even if he was not too hungry, he ate so much unconsciously.
"Do you want to make something like this?" The boss sat on the edge of the counter and heard her words, raised his eyelids, and glanced at her, as if confused.
