Although Hugo is the boss on the bright side of Canglan Ju, Hugo insists on personally checking the dishes in the store, often staying in the back kitchen all day long, so most of the people in Tongjia Town can only meet this sincere little boss with sincerity between his eyebrows and eyes when Canglanju is open and closed. On weekdays, all these miscellaneous things such as purchasing, cleaning, welcoming guests and running the hall are all taken care of by Sister Hong and a few hired guys, so compared with the two sisters, the people in Tongjia Town are more familiar with Sister Hong.

Sister Hong is a warm-hearted person, which neighbor has encountered something, there is a difficulty, no matter whether there is a lack of people or money, she must be the first to help others, and the townspeople mention her with a thumb and say that Sister Hong is unambiguous and reliable. Occasionally, when the people in the store couldn't settle the food money for a while, she also waved her hand to let these people settle it together next time.

However, compared with her warm-heartedness, Sister Hong is more impressive because of her pungent energy, she works and talks like a man on weekdays. Just mentioned that when he encounters a temporary shortage of food money, Sister Hong will usually let him settle it next time, but if he encounters a mess and is ready to make trouble, Sister Hong can point to his nose and scold him for a full thirty minutes, until every household on the entire Central Street can hear it. However, because Canglanju has an excellent reputation in Tongjia Town, and is very familiar with the gang of people in the security office, no one generally dares to come here to make trouble.

There are no troublemakers, but there is a very strong competitor. Sister Hong looked at the dazzling bald head of the low fat man in front of her, "Fat Zuo, if you don't scold you for the past two days, you want to make trouble for yourself?" What's going on with you! ”

The person who is called Zuo Fat Man is named Zuo Minglei, and he is the owner and chef of another restaurant in Tongjia Town. He is obviously accustomed to Sister Hong'er's words, and he is cunning and does not match. However, Hugo saw that there were a lot of onlookers, frowned and gently pulled Sister Hong'er's overalls trouser pocket, signaling her to be quiet. Sister Hong didn't give up, and while stuffing the rubber gloves that had dried in her hand into her trouser pocket, she glared at the fat man Zuo angrily.

Zuo Minglei straightened his sleeves, hugged his fist at Hugo and said: "Little boss, don't blame me for Zuo Fatty's abrupt behavior, understand people to explain the plain." I'm not afraid of your jokes, little boss, now that Canglanju is in the limelight, if I don't think about my family, I won't be able to eat with a dozen mouths. ”

What the fat man said is true. As early as before the opening of Canglanju, Shiweitian has been sitting firmly in Tongjia Town for several years, and it was said that Canglanju is not the first to try to work the quality of dishes, in fact, Shiweitian is the first one. Zuo Minglei is not from Xiaye, he moved his family from Xihai Prefecture, the westernmost part of the Federation, to Xiaye. Because of the famous student movement many years ago, there are still many people like him who are dissatisfied with the strict rules and regulations of the federation, and choose to move to the relatively liberal and relaxed Xiaye.

Zuo Minglei's old profession is a cook, and his cooking skills are also quite exquisite, but when he continues to introduce those new dishes that were originally highly regarded in Xihai, he finds that the people in Tongjia Town do not buy it. People in Tongjia Town don't have high incomes, and when they see the plates of exquisite high-end dishes and the menu that are even more high-end than those exquisite dishes, they will still choose those restaurants that taste slightly worse but are affordable. Zuo Minglei is also a smart person, after a small setback in understanding the consumption concept of the Ye people, he immediately changed the popular route, mainly engaged in full-stomach noodles and pasta, the business is thriving, and food is the day This has taken root in Tongjia Town.

At the beginning of the opening of Canglanju, Zuo Minglei was quite unimpressed, he had walked this road. Lamb chops, steamed fish, seafood, these dishes are indeed much more delicious than beef noodles, steamed buns and cauliflower soup, but these ingredients are difficult to find in Tongjia Town.

"Seafood? It's also a rare thing in Xia Ye City. Canglanju sells these dishes so cheaply, I'm afraid that the cost won't be recovered, and I'll wait for the loss to close the door after two months. Zuo Minglei said to the guys who believed in food at that time.

To Zuo Minglei's surprise, two months later, Canglanju not only did not pay for death, but it was opened in a prosperous manner, and the puzzled Zuo Minglei secretly observed, and even secretly wore a hat to cover his conspicuous head, and went to taste Canglanju's dishes in person. Zuo Minglei was convinced by the outstanding taste of the dishes, and he found that most of the ingredients in Canglanju were not purchased in Tongjia Town, or even in Xia Ye City, but he could often be seen Sister Hong beckoning the red and blue locomotives that transported the ingredients to load and unload the ingredients. Neither in Tongjia Town, nor in Xia Ye City to buy ingredients, then these ingredients must naturally come from those safari tribes outside the "Heavenly Dome", such a cargo route is generally only those extremely high-grade restaurants have the ability to establish, I don't know how Canglanju has such a way Zuo Minglei had to give up with a wry smile.

If it is day by day, the flow of customers who eat for the day is decreasing, and watching the guys in the store idle all day long in front of and behind the hall to hunt flies, it is no wonder that Zuo Minglei is in a hurry.

Anxiety is naturally easy to get angry, Zuo Minglei tried to fight with Canglanju in the ring, but Canglanju's Sister Hong is a spicy character who can't be provoked, Zuo Minglei didn't dare to make bad moves, so he had to endure the pain and lower the price of vegetables, and the profits were cut and cut, fighting for the flow of customers with Canglanju. Although no one can say anything about this kind of legitimate means of harming others and not benefiting themselves in the shop, it can hurt others and hurt themselves, for this Zuo Minglei is not less scolded by Sister Hong on weekdays, and the guys who live in Canglanju and eat for the sky are all angry with bull's eyes and copper bells on the street, and they almost greet them directly with their fists and feet. But what can I do? Zuo Minglei knows that he is already fifty years old, and it is difficult to change careers, this old family still has a store that has been hard to run for so many years, is it difficult to be forced to move again by a hairy boy? He didn't want to fold this face, let alone toss, so as the days passed, the relationship between the two families gradually became a fire and water.

Today, Zuo Minglei heard that Hugo was in trouble, so he came to see the excitement, and heard the colonel from Tongjia Town say that he wanted to treat his old friend at Lake Miral, and his heart changed his mind: I'm afraid I want to host this year's fish banquet in the winter of Lake Miral? In previous years, the chef honored the fish banquet by the people of the tribe who were selected by each safari tribe to preside over it together. If this is really the master spoon at this year's winter fish feast, and shows his face and spreads out, the food will be alive.

Thinking of this, Zuo Minglei's heart jumped up. But seeing that this bad debt in Yuqiu was going to become a good thing for the rival Canglanju, he simply took a step forward and said: "Even the staff officer, in the lower Zuo Minglei, the big spoon of food for the sky, ask yourself if the cooking skills are not under the little boss of the rain, and the years of the food for the sky in Tongjia Town are not short, please make a judgment, I want to compare with the little boss of the rain to see whose cooking skills are more exquisite." ”

"Food for the sky? The name sounds familiar. To tell you the truth, your name has indeed been mentioned to me, but it is just ...... It's just that my people have investigated, and Shi Weitian doesn't seem to have any outstanding dishes......" Lian Kecheng looked at Adjutant Xu suspiciously, and the latter nodded affirmatively.

That's a good point. Hmph, in addition to the fact that the buns and noodles sell well, I really don't know what kind of character you are Zuo Fatty? Sister Hong stood up, walked behind Hugo and stood still, crossed her arms in front of her chest and said coldly.

"Left shopkeeper." Hugo glanced at Sister Hong'er, and said with a helpless smile: "You and I don't get along very well on weekdays, if I do something wrong on weekdays and offend you, I will compensate you here." Saying that, Hugo stood up and hugged Zuo Minglei apologetically.

"Little bosses don't have to be like this, you and I have always been fair competition, and we have never offended. It's just that now in order to operate, in order to keep my own food for the sky, I can't let go of this opportunity. The fat man replied lightly, and then touched his bald head with a smile and said: "And to be honest, I have heard for a long time that the little boss has good cooking skills, and I also have some itchy skills, and I dare to compete with Canglanju." If I, Zuo Minglei, are defeated, Shi Weitian will withdraw from Tongjia Town and find another way out; What if I win...... Would you like to ask the little boss to give me this opportunity as a chef? ”

"You dead fat man is really not ......" Sister Hong'er suddenly raised her eyebrows when she heard this, stretched out her finger and pointed at the bald head of the fat man on the left, and was about to scold, but was interrupted by Hugo waving his hand. Director Yang on the side watched the two talk-for-tat, obviously not the first time they had met, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then lowered his head and explained a few words in Lian Kecheng's ear The contradiction between living in the mountains and eating is the sky, Lian Kecheng listened to it with a smile and seemed to be more and more interested.

"The left shopkeeper." Hugo took a deep breath, looked at the crowd, and said, "You have your reasons, but I also have my insistence." Although my dad is usually a man of four or six, I can't watch my dad get caught in prison by the federal government because of his debts. After speaking, Hugo took Sister Hong'er's hand and said to Lian Kecheng: "Even the staff officer, the left shopkeeper also said, since you are asked to make a judgment, please point out the time, place, ingredients and topics, and we will go down and prepare." ”

When Lian Kecheng heard that Hugo actually agreed, his eyes lit up, he looked sideways at Director Yang on the side, and said, "Okay, good!" After all these years, it is really interesting to go to this place, and I have met such interesting people and things when I returned to Tongjia Town. The shopkeeper and the little boss are both fast-talking people, since you have all invited me to make a judgment, I am not welcome. Lian Kecheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "For the sake of fairness, I will still be here tomorrow, set at twelve o'clock at noon, I will personally send someone to prepare the table, ingredients and a tool, as for the topic, I will reveal it at noon tomorrow, what do you two think?" ”

"I'm here to thank the little boss and the company staff officer in advance." Zuo Minglei knew that he had taken advantage of it, and bowed to Hugo and Lian Kecheng.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow, shopkeeper left." Hugo nodded at Lian Kecheng, and hurriedly pulled Sister Hong, who still wanted to scold, and left the crowd quickly, but no one noticed that a melancholy flashed in Hugo's eyes.
