Chapter 5: The Way Forward
Mo Xiaoqi had been a housewife for several years in her previous life, and she was quite accomplished in cooking, and she was confident that she could open a restaurant.
"You are weak, and you can't fight Anjia." Zhao Hongyi shook his head and said.
"Hey, let's go. Check out, go to my house and sit down, how about I let you taste my craft? Mo Xiaoqi hugged the tree and got up and went to the counter, "Shopkeeper, how much is it?" ”
The skinny shopkeeper Bai Xi walked past her, glanced at the untouched food, sighed and said, "You didn't eat either." Hey, forget it. Don't want money, let's go! Anyway, it's going to close today. ”
"Closed? Why? Mo Xiaoqi asked knowingly.
"Hey, I really can't fight to settle down! The means of settling down are endless, and they are both making trouble and smashing up. ”
"Shopkeeper, do you really think that the restaurant can't be opened is all a matter of settling down?" Mo Xiaoqi also sighed, "The problem is your family's service and dishes. ”
What do you mean by that? My chef is from the same class as An's cook, and the taste of cooking is not much different. The shopkeeper was not convinced.
"How much does it taste?" Mo Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Zhao Hongyi, and he nodded and agreed with the shopkeeper's words.
If the food in An's restaurant tastes like this, then she will be more confident to take down An's restaurant.
"Hehe, shopkeeper, your restaurant is going to close anyway, why don't you give me a plate?" Mo Xiaoqi said confidently.
Just as the shopkeeper was thinking about this, a fat man rushed out with a kitchen knife and opened the curtain.
"Who is it! Dare to question Lao Tzu's cooking? Lao Tzu is the master of the king of chefs in the capital! ”
Mo Xiaoqi didn't dodge either, turned his face and said, "It's me." Didn't I question that you didn't taste the dishes you made yourself? Really, it's hard to eat. ”
As soon as these words came out, the fat cook's kitchen knife was immediately pointed at her, but she shook her head and said, "I really can't eat the food you cooked." ”
The fat chef's face was very ugly, he took back the kitchen knife and went straight to the place where Mo Xiaoqi had sit, picked up a chopstick dish, chewed a few bites, and did not feel abnormal.
"You is looking for trouble on purpose, aren't you?" The fat cook raised his eyebrows and was about to go crazy.
"Why don't I cook it for you! It's also good for you. As soon as Mo Xiaoqi said this, the fat cook laughed, "You? What good dish can a girl with a baby make? Since ancient times, the chefs in the kitchen have been men, and I don't believe that you can make better food than me. ”
Zhao Hongyi was a little worried, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mo Xiaoqi, don't hold it up." ”
Mo Xiaoqi smiled back and handed the child into his hands, "Don't worry! I can do it, you help me watch the trees, wait for me here. ”
Seeing that the situation had evolved like this, the shopkeeper could not stop it, so he could only let them go.
Although the business of this restaurant is not good, the ingredients are quite complete.
After Mo Xiaoqi walked around the kitchen, he made up his mind what to cook.
The disdainful expression on the face of the fat chef who was waiting to watch the show gradually turned into surprise and solemnity.
"It smells so good." The shopkeeper sniffed the aroma of vegetables in the air vigorously, "Childe, it seems that your wife does have some skills!" ”
The shopkeeper mistakenly thought that Mo Xiaoqi was Zhao Hongyi's wife, so he said such a thing.
Zhao Hongyi didn't deny it, just smiled politely, his eyes drifted to the position of the back kitchen, and he was also looking forward to what kind of dishes Mo Xiaoqi would serve.
Xiao Er wiped a table clean, and the dishes made by Mo Xiaoqi were quickly placed on it.
"It's braised chicken feet, fried stinky tofu, diced spicy chicken, and back to the pot, and the soup is an omelette. It's all a normal home-cooked dish, but it's definitely better than your table. Mo Xiaoqi confidently introduced them one by one.
"This ...... You're a tofu from the kitchen, right? Isn't this about poisoning people? What should I do if I have a bad stomach? "The fat cook has actually judged the superiority from the aroma of the dish, but he is unwilling to lose to a woman like this.
"Don't worry, poison won't kill you. If you don't believe me, I'll eat it for you. Mo Xiaoqi said as he picked up a piece of stinky tofu and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Seeing this, the fat cook didn't want to say anything, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, it was so fragrant, he had never smelled anyone's cooking so fragrant.
"Try it." Mo Xiaoqi motioned for everyone at the table to try their own dishes.
The shopkeeper took the lead in sandwiching a piece of back to the pot meat, and only after eating it did he feel that the meat was fat but not greasy, and the layering of pork belly and the burnt taste filled his mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's delicious!" ”
The fat cook didn't believe in evil, and immediately picked up a piece, and his expression immediately changed to a look of enjoyment.
Zhao Hongyi also smiled and began to taste the dishes on the table, these dishes were really delicious, better than any food he had ever eaten.
The chicken feet are rotten as soon as you sip them, the stinky tofu is burnt and delicious, the spicy chicken is spicy and appetizing, and the omelette soup is also very delicious.
Obviously they are all simple ingredients, but they are not simple in Mo Xiaoqi's hands.
Just as a few people were enjoying themselves, a wave of customers came in the store.
"It's so fragrant, shopkeeper, what are you eating? Give us a copy as it is. The guests' eyes never left the dishes on the table.
The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, this dish was not made by the chef in his shop! Just wanted to speak, but Mo Xiaoqi replied first: "Okay! Wait a minute. Little two, add tea! ”
After a while, a table of dishes was placed on the guests' tables, and the guests feasted and couldn't stop admiring.
"It's delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious dish when I've grown so big! Xiao Er, bring me another bowl of rice. The guest was sweating profusely and shouted as he held up the bowl.
Probably because the smell of the store is too fragrant, it attracts several waves of customers to enter the door. Mo Xiaoqi is not too tired, and has been busy in the kitchen since cooking a bowl of meat porridge for Shu'er.
Zhao Hongyi has been taking care of the trees in the store, watching the guests eat happily, and he also thinks that maybe Mo Xiaoqi opening a restaurant is a good choice.
Maybe it can really solve the situation of the An family's dominance.
Finally, after the meal, the customers in the restaurant left. Mo Xiaoqi took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen, and met the smiling shopkeeper in front of him.
"This lady has worked so hard for you."
"It's not hard, the guest enters the door, where is there a reason to refuse. It's just the shopkeeper, how did you think about what I said before? Mo Xiaoqi changed her words, she had mentioned to the shopkeeper before to take down his restaurant.
"Uh." The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, "Madame said that she wants to take care of the restaurant?" ”
Mo Xiaoqi didn't speak, just waited for the following.
"Madam, do you want to come to my shop as a cook? Perhaps......" The shopkeeper's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"No, I'm going to take down your shop, not come to your shop to be a cook." Mo Xiaoqi said firmly.
Working for others is always controlled by others and cannot last long.
