Chapter 56: Shopkeeper Zhang (2)
The two rested for a while, and when they saw that the time really couldn't be delayed, they said, "Okay, the hour is almost the same, I should go, otherwise I won't be able to get to the inn at night." ”
Having said that, he was reluctant, after all, this was the first time he had met since separation, and this time he didn't know when he would meet again.
"Be careful on the road, I won't send you, and we'll meet again soon." The shopkeeper stepped forward, gave his old friend a hug, and patted him on the back.
Steward Hu sighed, let go of his old friend after hugging, turned around and walked out, but his body was full of depression.
After seeing his old friend go out, the shopkeeper turned his head to look out the window, and this position just happened to see the three or two carriages at the door of Zhenwei.
After a while, the figure of the manager appeared downstairs, explained to the people around him, as if agreed, looked up at the direction where the shopkeeper was located, the two looked at each other, and they knew a lot for many years. Retracted his gaze, turned his head and walked to the side of the carriage headed by his feet, stepped on the stool, lifted the hem of his clothes, and stepped into the carriage.
The carriage creaked away, and it was not until the figure disappeared around the corner that the shopkeeper Zhang withdrew his gaze, his eyelids slightly drooping to cover the look in his eyes.
After a long silence, Shopkeeper Zhang got up and walked out of the room downstairs.
Walked through the counter, walked to the backyard, walked into a room, the door was wide open, so I walked in directly, and saw He Qiang and He Sheng working hard to learn to settle accounts, Fang Cai's heavy breath dissipated, and he smiled.
"How does it feel to be strong and promoted?" After the shopkeeper entered, he took the lead in speaking.
The two of them, who were engaged in studying, raised their heads when they heard the voice.
"Well, there are some places that I don't particularly understand, and managing accounts is really not an easy task." Rao is calm and strong was also blushing at the moment, and said embarrassedly.
Usually watching Xiang Tianqi sort out the accounts, I feel that this is the case, there is no difficulty, but now I know that it is not the case. So I secretly smacked my tongue in my heart, how did Xiang Tianqi, a little girl, learn such a complicated thing.
"It's okay, take your time, after all, you're new to contact too. As long as you are willing to study hard, it will definitely be fruitful after a while. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang comforted the two, but what he said was also true, it was already very good that the children of a peasant family like this could write their own names, and the others should not be too demanding.
The two people who listened to the teachings of the shopkeeper nodded seriously, they must study hard, Xiaoqi has already said that the position of the shopkeeper or steward will be arranged for them in the future, and it is necessary to calculate accounts and do business, so they have to learn slowly now.
Forehead...... Although I don't know why Xiang Tianqi is so confident, and I don't know how long it will take to say this, but since Xiao Qi is like this, it must be right. They just do it, anyway, they don't have to press themselves.
"I've already said hello to the girl, and you will come over after dinner in the morning, and you will come back until after dinner. When you're almost done, you'll be able to do it. ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper Zhang." He Qiang and Sheng hurriedly thanked the shopkeeper, the gratitude in their eyes was obvious, but this favor was not small, although it was for Xiang Tianqi's face, but they still remembered it in their hearts.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at these two people, although they were country boys, they were serious and hard-working, and their brains were not as dull as ordinary peasant families.
And Zhien, as for the matter of the picture, he has no such idea now, and this itself is a matter that he is easy to do, but he is very pleased to see the two of them so much, and these are the reasons why he is willing to teach them.
"You don't have to be so raw, just call me Uncle Zhang like Qi Yatou." Shopkeeper Zhang smiled at the two.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang." The two glanced at each other, and He Qiang replied to the shopkeeper on behalf of the two.
"Okay, I'm just going to go around, you can go on, and I'll call someone to call you to eat later."
After saying that, he turned around and went out and went back to the hall on the first floor.
Back in the hall, call Zhao Xiaoer, and talk as he walked.
"Go to the back kitchen, call the steward, and ask him to come to the second floor to find me."
Zhao Xiaoer got the order, and immediately ran to the kitchen, called the kitchen manager, and took him to the Tianzi room on the second floor.
Dangdang, three soft knocks on the door.
"Come in."
Hearing the voice, Zhao Xiaoer pushed the door in.
"The shopkeeper, the kitchen steward brought it over."
Zhao Xiaoer walked in with the kitchen steward, and after entering, Zhao Xiaoer opened his mouth to report to the shopkeeper.
"Well, you go down."
Zhao Xiaoer hunched back to the door, turned around and went out, and brought the door.
"The hot pot made by Qi Yatou today, will the chef make it?"
Shopkeeper Zhang drank the best dragon well and asked casually.
"Back to the shopkeeper, I almost have mastered it, but I still need to practice more to ensure the taste."
To be able to do this big kitchen and do the position of the steward, it must be a bit of means and scheming. Especially recently, because of Xiang Tianqi, he has made a lot of money, so he is still very concerned about the food that Xiang Tianqi makes.
No matter what little Jiujiu he has, as long as he doesn't touch the bottom line, he can turn a blind eye. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and only when the hearts of the subordinates are stable can they do a good job, but what should be beaten still has to be beaten. Especially recently, they have frequently come out with new dishes, almost monopolizing the customer source of the entire Heping Town, and it will be difficult for other restaurants to survive in the long run, so there have been several news coming from several restaurants openly and secretly.
"Well, you're holding on to this. But what can be done and what can't be done, you have to have points in your heart, and your subordinates are also firmly controlled. ”
Although the shopkeeper Zhang's attitude was still careless when he said this, he was not a simple restaurant shopkeeper, and he didn't know how many lives he had under him in his early years, and he didn't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles he had dealt with. Usually he deliberately restrains himself, but as soon as this momentum is released, it is like a tiger descending from the mountain, with huge waves, how can a small kitchen steward resist it.
So although it was just a simple sentence, the steward felt the pressure that he had never felt before from the top of his head, and it seemed to be wrapped in the cold wind of the cold moon in winter, and it was cold and biting, and in an instant, a cold sweat appeared on his back, and his limbs were stiff.
The steward was secretly frightened, how could the always gentle shopkeeper have such an aura, as if he had seen through him, so that the thoughts in his heart could not be hidden. This made him very uneasy. Fortunately, when someone asked him to tell him the recipe, he didn't agree directly, saying that he would have to think about it.
Originally, he planned to sell the vegetable recipe at a high price, and then told the shopkeeper that maybe Xiang Tianqi sold two of his own goods or someone else researched it himself, but now it seems that his wishful thinking is about to fail.
"The little one understands, please rest assured that we are all precious people, and there will definitely be no dissent. I will keep a firm eye on my people and make no mistakes. ”
The kitchen steward was afraid that the shopkeeper would find something, so he hurriedly showed his loyalty and promised to do things well.
Shopkeeper Zhang was noncommittal to this, put down the teacup, and looked at the person in front of him.
"Well, work hard, and I won't treat you badly if you do a good job."
At this time, the shopkeeper Zhang returned to his usual appearance, smiling.
The kitchen steward looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, who was very familiar in front of him, and looked kind and close, and his heart slowly fell. But the clothes on his back soaked with cold sweat and his limbs that were still a little stiff reminded him that the moment just now was not an illusion, and he still had palpitations.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the person in front of him, knowing that the moment just now had made him dare not have any more thoughts, so he didn't care what he was thinking in his heart now, so he waved his hand and let him go down.
……
After dinner in Zhenwei, Heqiang and Sheng said goodbye to the shopkeeper and returned to Hutchison.
After they went back, the front door was closed, so when they went back from the backyard, they found that they were all in the yard, chatting with melon seeds.
"How are you back with big brother?" He Qiu was the first to discover and Qiang, so he hurriedly greeted him, asked with a venous eye, and took the two to the stone table to serve tea and pour water.
"What's the matter, it's good, the delicious dishes are very good, you can try it another day."
Xu is in a good mood, and Heqiang rarely amuses people, knowing what Heqiu is asking, it is to play sloppy with him.
"Oh, I'm not asking about a precious dish, no matter how delicious the dish is, it can be as delicious as our boss's cooking. I'm asking about that one, you know. ”
He Qiu looked anxious, but while talking, he didn't forget to take a picture of Xiang Tianqi's ass, which caused everyone to look at him with blank eyes.
"Oh, it's not a dish, so what are you asking, what, that, that?"
He Qiang looked puzzled and continued to pretend to be stupid. He Sheng also watched from the sidelines and didn't help.
"Oh, I'm asking about learning to settle accounts with Shopkeeper Zhang."
He Qiu was anxious, and without waiting for He Qiang to answer, he said it himself. After all, this is Xiang Tianqi looking for a shopkeeper to teach them, and it is not good for him to ask so blatantly.
He Qiang snorted and laughed, and stopped joking with him.
"The shopkeeper Zhang's teaching is very good, but we are slow to learn, and the shopkeeper Zhang said that we will go after breakfast in the future, and we will come back after dinner, so we will follow those seniors to learn."
"That's good." When He Qiu said this, the envy in his eyes couldn't be stopped.
He also wanted to learn to settle accounts, not just an errand runner, but he just came, and he didn't know if Xiang Tianqi was willing.
He Qiang saw He Qiu's eyes, and the same Xiang Tianqi also saw the look in his eyes, and the same was true for the other two.
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay, take back your eyes, what's the hurry, you have to come one by one, you all go to learn to settle accounts, who will take care of the shop."
Xiang Tianqi's words shifted Heqiu's eyes to her.
"Really, we can be like Big Brother He?"
He Qiu asked excitedly, and the other two people were also very excited to look at the woman in front of them who brought them out.
"Yes, you're all right, Hutchison can be good, and I'm more relaxed. There are some things that you have to learn, but there are some things that depend on the people's cooking, according to the people's conditions, scientific education, unfair treatment does not exist in my place. And does I, Xiang Tianqi, seem to be such a favoritism? ”
As he spoke, Xiang Tianqi looked at Heqiu and the others, if they dared to say this, see how she cut them.
"No, no, of course not, the boss is the best, the kindest and fairest. She is the most beautiful woman in the world. yes, you say. Come, Boss drink water. ”
As soon as Heqiu heard Xiang Tianqi's words, he hurriedly ran to Xiang Tianqi, picked up the teacup and handed it to Xiang Tianqi, and patted Xiang Tianqi's ass vigorously.
A few people silently turned their faces, why didn't they know that Heqiu could say so much before, and there was this side. I really don't want to know him.
"Okay, don't pat yourself on the back, and you're not afraid to pat the horse's hooves." Xiang Tianqi took the teacup and said with an angry smile and said with Qiu, her heart is similar to everyone else at the moment, and Qiu is becoming more and more self-liberating.
He Qiu withdrew his hand and sat on the stool, smirking hehehehe. looked at the surrounding brothers and sisters, snorted, and ignored them.
