Chapter 25: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Chen Yuanyuan stayed in the back kitchen, looking at the pile of vegetables and fruits.
The purchasing steward has put aside the ingredients to be used today, and helped the kitchen to divide the work - washing, chopping, garnish, and washing dishes...... Wait.
Chen's mother had already started to chop vegetables, Chen Yuanyuan swept the greasy pots and pans stained with all kinds of saliva in the wooden basin, and immediately hid aside and started washing vegetables with a little woman.
There is a deep well in the backyard of Fulai Building, which is very convenient for water.
Now it is late autumn, and early in the morning, she put her hands into the cold well water, and the cold Chen Yuanyuan trembled.
In the past, she directed the housekeeper and maid to work, but now it is the first time to do chores, and her heart is full of miscellaneous tastes, and her thoughts are already flying when she washes and washes.
She suddenly remembered her father, and couldn't help sneaking out quietly by going to the thatched house.
The small figure hid behind the curtain and secretly looked at the front hall.
The business of Fulai Lou is really good, there are no customers, and the second child in the wine store runs before and after.
From the moment the guests came in, they were led to the seats to serve tea and food, and after the guest officer finished ordering, he quickly ran to the back kitchen to pull the brand to prepare the dishes, and in an instant, he had to deliver a plate of side dishes.
When the meal is ready, it has to be served on the table, and the pace is steady and fast.
In ancient times, it was not as simple as imagined to be a good shopkeeper.
The second child is exquisite, the bigger the store, the more people you meet, and the three religions and nine streams have no eyesight, and they will offend the guests if they are not very good.
In addition to having eyes, you must also be bold, in case a fierce-looking guest comes, wouldn't it be a smash the shop's signboard if he doesn't dare to step forward?
Of course, you must also have a good memory, a good temperament, and a smooth manner.
At this time, looking at her father nodding and smiling in front of people, she felt all kinds of bad feelings. I don't know if it's the father of this body, or if it's already integrated into the blood and bones, how can he grovel?
"Help the cook, why haven't the dishes been washed yet! The guests in front are urging! ”
The chef in charge shouted loudly in the back, not wanting his mother to be difficult to do, so he had to run back to wash the vegetables.
In an endless stream of large restaurants, the kitchen must be exquisite after all.
The daughter of the dignified group, where has she ever done miscellaneous?
Her speed was naturally not fast, and even a little slow, which provoked the cooks on the side to scold again and again.
When did she get angry like this, she immediately wanted to get rid of it, and she was afraid of her father's face, so she endured it again.
Thinking that the ancient fruits and vegetables were pure and pollution-free, I simply soaked them in water after picking them and threw them in the basket. In this way, the speed is much faster.
Sitting on a small bench one morning, she had back pain and neck spine pain after washing, and she didn't know how her mother survived in the past.
Despite not being lazy, it still didn't work as it should.
In one morning, three tables of customers complained that they fried a large green worm with a tail finger thickness, either because the dish had an earthy taste, or the dish was served too slowly, etc.
As soon as the steward came, Chen Yuanyuan was found out and fined another month's wages.
In ancient times, it was not easy to find a livelihood, and being fined one month's salary was already light, and if she had the intention to make it difficult, the shopkeeper would have already dismissed her.
Chen Yuanyuan pinched her eyebrows, the Qinglou and the gambling house had promised her father and mother that she would not go again unless she had to.
Now I have to continue to work, but I am also thinking about making money.
If you want to make money now, you can start with makeup.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and women are sometimes unimaginably crazy for the sake of beauty.
In ancient times, most of the girls who could afford to buy rouge gouache were young ladies from rich families.
The young lady of the rich and noble family always has a superior vision, and she is a poor child, and she is afraid that no one will believe her when she says that she will put on makeup.
But if you have your first business, then open the channel, and things will be much easier.
Now she needs a chance!
Of course, if she has the capital, she can also develop cosmetics and skin care products, if she can really figure it out, the powerful ladies of the Northern Dynasty are a huge market.
Maybe she can try some masks now!
Come to think of it, even looking at the flour is like pearl powder.
Mother Chen looked at her stupid girl, patted her hand lightly, and couldn't help but quip: "Girl, what are you laughing at?" ”
"I'm so beautiful and tired of laughing at my mother~"
……
With great ambitions in my heart, the whole person is in good spirits, and even washing vegetables is a lot harder.
After noon.
The three members of the Chen family hastily ate a few bites in the back kitchen, and continued to work until near the evening, when the number of guests gradually decreased.
As the sun sets, most people go home to prepare dinner.
Most of the guests who come out to eat at this point are social, and they can eat for an hour or two at a meal, but there are not many dishes, and there is no need to wash the vegetables in the kitchen.
She simply ran to the front and waited for her father to get off work.
Looking at my father, who was busy all day, still sweating in late autumn, he was wiping the table with a cloth towel.
Chen Yuanyuan frowned slightly, instead of being idle, it was better to help her father.
After thinking about it, the person was already walking towards Chen's father.
She took a rag in her hand and began to wipe the table, Father Chen saw her come out, and scolded with a smile: "Are you going to be a running girl?" ”
Chen Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue, "I'll help my father, so I won't worry for a while." ”
Shopkeeper Song looked at the figure of the father and daughter working in front of the cabinet, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
There are not many guests now, so I asked my daughter a few words, and after a busy day, Chen's father hurriedly ran to the thatched house.
As soon as Chen's father left, the little maid in the wing room on the second floor came out and shouted: "Little Er, make a good Biluochun." ”
She swept around, there were a total of three juniors in the store, his father went to the thatched house, and the other two were greeting customers, so she responded: "Okay!" ”
The tea brewing master in front of her had already boiled the tea, and she had also calculated the addiction of the shopkeeper, so she walked to the upper room with the tea.
On the second floor, the guests in the Tianzi wing room are also rich and expensive.
There was a knock on the door, and one of the servants inside had opened it.
She lowered her eyebrows and swept slightly, there were a total of five people on the seat, four men and two women, looking at it seemed to be in-laws, and they were getting together.
Among the six people, it was not the oldest who sat in the first seat, but a young man who was about twenty years old.
The Imperial City is not small, why did you meet this voyeur again and again?
It's really a narrow road!
The man's gaze skimmed directly over her, as if he had never seen her before, and there was no sign on his face.
Chen Yuanyuan's brows twisted slightly, only to feel that the man in front of her should have a mental problem.
You must know that she was inexplicably glared at by him last time, and the look as if she owed him two or eight million, her whole person was as uncomfortable as accidentally eating a fly.
Chen Yuanyuan's eyes rolled, the corners of her eyebrows and mouth rose, and she was already carrying the pot forward.
She came to Huangfu Shaohua's side, and said with a smile while pouring tea: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are really blessed today, this is the best Biluochun in our shop, you guest officers try it." ”
When he said that, he was already pouring tea into Huangfu Shaohua's cup.
