Chapter 6 Business Booms
The old man Bai walked away, I was stunned for a long time, and then I came back to my senses and realized that he had also misunderstood me, thinking that I had come here for Liu Na, a pretty young woman who had lost her husband for a short time.
Judging from his performance just now, I can tell that this is a top player.
He is definitely of the same level as Wong Tai Sin.
Or, higher.
Maybe my level is too low, and my weakness limits my imagination, so that I can't accurately feel the strength of the other party, but I also know that he should recognize my identity as a nightkin at a glance.
Because of this, he felt that a nightcrawler had bad intentions to lurk in such a dilapidated restaurant that was about to close down.
No matter how much I think about it, I feel that I have thoughts about this delicate and feminine proprietress in my heart.
And think about it at worst......
I stretched out my hand and looked at the cigarette butt mark on my right wrist, it looked like a plum blossom, the largest one in the middle was the mark from the cigarette butt, and there were six circles around it that were much smaller than the mark, and I don't know how he got it.
When he did this just now, my whole body was in a trance, and thinking about it at this moment, I couldn't help but gasp.
Good thing he just got me a cigarette butt plum brand and nothing else.
From this point of view, he may not be a very extreme person, and he is willing to believe my kindness at the moment, so that he will not come up and be ruthless.
And the reason for this, I think, is not how harmless I look, or the kindness of the old man Bai, but the hot, fragrant sauce pig's trotters that made him not ruthless.
Thinking of this, I don't know what to say.
This place in Yanjing is worthy of being at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, wherever you go, you can meet a top person like Wong Tai Sin.
Could it be that in the realm of Yanjing, it is really the demon king who walks all over the streets, and the big demon is not as good as a dog?
Shivering.
I was alone at the gate of Hechengju, and two young men came to the east, saw the chef's uniform I was wearing, and asked me, "Hey, buddy, is the restaurant open?" ”
I came back to my senses and said open, please inside.
A fat man with a fat head and big ears asked, "You guys still have that mutton fried rice today, right?" Hey, my buddy said, he ate it yesterday, and he almost swallowed it with his tongue Hey, I, Fan Hongbo, have eaten all over these four or nine cities, and I have never encountered such an exaggerated thing, you say, there is really such a god? ”
The man with glasses next to him said, "You still think I lied to you? Let's say okay, if it's delicious, you have a treat, it's not delicious, I'll pay for it, we can't cheat? ”
The fat man Fan Hongbo said: "Yes, it's hard to say anything else, I have always been pious about eating, and I never cheat." ”
I looked at these two and couldn't help laughing, saying that the two of them are please, good women are not afraid of flirting, good food is not afraid of boasting, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and walk around to know that it is fat and thin, right?
The fat man laughed and said that you are really interesting, and I didn't count it in vain when I said this to you.
I said no.
I led the two into the house, and saw that there was no one in the restaurant, and it was estimated that everyone was busy in the kitchen, so I beckoned the two to sit down, and then walked to the kitchen, and shouted inside: "Xing'er, there is a guest coming, order." ”
Xing'er was still licking the bones there, and when she heard this, she was a little stunned, and said that it was only less than half past ten, why did she come?
I shrugged my shoulders and said I don't know.
Xing'er walked out, and before she could say hello, the fat man Fan Hongbo shouted: "Waiter, what are you stewing in the kitchen, why is it so fragrant?" ”
Xing'er said happily: "This is our family's newly promoted sauce pig's trotters, do you want to have one?" ”
The fat man looked greedy and said okay, okay, let's have a copy.
I walked into the kitchen and saw that the proprietress was busy in front of the big pot of stewed sheep and scorpions, she prepared the sauce package in advance, and put it in to boil at the moment, the process was not complicated, so when I came in, she was basically busy, saw me, and asked, "What did Uncle Bai tell you?" ”
I knew that the proprietress didn't know anything about nightcrawlers and cultivators, and I didn't want to tell her, so I said perfunctorily: "I just checked the household registration, and he was worried that I was a bad person." ”
The proprietress smiled slightly and said: "He has been a doorman for half his life, and he has developed a pair of fiery eyes, good people and bad people, you can know it at a glance." ”
I said, did he say I'm a good guy or a bad guy?
The proprietress said that if he thinks you're a bad person, do you think you'll be able to stay here?
I nodded and said yes.
The business is good and the proprietress is much less worried, she nodded at me, and said Come on, I will give you a salary increase when the time comes.
I smiled wryly and said that there wasn't much in total.
After the proprietress went out, the kitchen was busy with me, Lao Tu and Xiao Liu.
Lao Tu and Xiao Liu were in charge of the previous dishes of Zhang Luo's Sheep Scorpion Restaurant, while I was mainly responsible for the preparation of mutton fried rice.
Strange to say, this thing was actually branded to me a while ago, but I didn't feel any pain at all.
Not to mention, it condensed and formed, and there was no scar at all.
It's like a birthmark, what happened to my kung fu just now?
I tried to think about it, but I didn't figure it out.
However, the work of the small restaurant does not allow too much time to think about life, and with the arrival of the meal, the kitchen suddenly becomes busy, after all, the geographical location of Hechengju is relatively excellent, and there are some characteristics, even if it suffered a blow two months ago, and a strong competitor appeared diagonally opposite, but there are still some loyal customers.
In addition, the current manpower of Hechengju is really a little less.
I'm done here, and I went over to help Lao Tu, what kind of chopping vegetables, side dishes or something, I do much better than Xiaoliu, not only fast, but also neat knife work, definitely a first-class level.
Lao Tu couldn't help but sigh: "Hou Zi, with your skills, you are really condescending, my old Tu feels like a chef in a five-star hotel......"
After a lot of busyness, I kept coming orders, including my mutton fried rice and sauce pig's trotters, as well as mutton scorpion pot, and the kitchen was as busy as a war.
At half past eleven, Lao Zhang of the meat market sent fifty pig trotters over.
So many pig's trotters, just plucking and pre-processing, made me dizzy, and just as I was about to get it, Xing'er entered the kitchen and beckoned to me: "Brother Mo, Brother Mo, come here." ”
I said what are you doing, didn't you see that I was busy?
Xing'er said to me: "There are two guests outside, who have eaten your mutton fried rice and pork trotters in sauce, and they have to see you, and they refuse to leave, and they still refuse to pay." ”
When I heard it, I couldn't help but laugh and say hey, anyone else dares to eat a bully meal in front of me?
I rolled up my sleeves and walked out, and I saw the two men I had just beckoned into.
The fat man saw me rolling up my sleeves and walking out violently, looking like I was going to fight, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, buddy, wait, wait, I'm not looking for fault......"
I said not to find fault? If you don't pay, isn't this just finding fault?
The fat man hurriedly took out one or two old man's heads, and said buy, buy, I brought the money, I just told the little sister that I wanted to meet the chef who cooked...... Ah, you're the chef who just cooked for us?
I saw his suspicious expression and said, what's the matter, don't you believe it?
The fat man hurriedly nodded and said Believe, I believe.
I said that eggs are delicious, and there is no need to know who the hen is laying them, right? I'm busy in the kitchen, so hurry up.
After saying that, I was about to leave, the fat man quickly stopped me, and then handed me a business card, saying hello, I am Fan Hongbo, a columnist for Kyoto Metropolis Daily, I usually like to write some food columns, and I still have some research on eating. Seriously, I've eaten so many delicacies that I can eat to tears, and there are really not many of them, and you're here, it's a ......
I waved my hand and said that I am only a part-time worker, if you have any questions, you can go and ask our boss.
I pointed to the pretty lady at the cash register, then left him alone and went back to the kitchen.
Back in the kitchen, I continued to pluck the feathers, because in a short time, most of the pig's trotters were about to be sold, and if I didn't hurry up, it wouldn't be long before the stall was out.
After a while, Xiao Liu, who was helping to deliver food outside, came over and said to me: "Brother Mo, do you know, that one is a real reporter." ”
What did I say?
Xiao Liu looked surprised and said what's wrong? Reporter: Alas, if someone reports on you, you will be really famous. When you become famous, will you still be busy working here?
I laughed and said, what's the matter, are you dissatisfied with the proprietress and Hechengju?
The old picture next to him put the boiled sheep scorpion into the small iron pot, and then said: "Yes, Xiaoliu, look at you, this character is not as good as the Hou Zi who just came......"
Xiao Liu gave us a lesson, and said a little stupidly: "That's what I said." ”
I was busy in the back kitchen, but I still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the diners for the sauce pig's trotters, and after a while, this thing was sold out, which made the people who didn't buy it excited, but fortunately, the materials for the mutton fried rice on our side were well prepared, and the persuasion of the proprietress and Apricot Er put out the fire.
Otherwise, the dish of pork trotters in sauce really needs time to boil, and the heat is not enough, and it doesn't have that taste at all.
But even so, many people who didn't eat it, smelling the fragrance, were willing to wait, and some people wanted to pack it and take it back to share with others.
After sending people away, I was so tired that my back hurt, and I said to the happy proprietress that said: "This can't be done, you have to raise the price a little, and then ration it every day." ”
The proprietress consulted with me and said how much a day do you think is appropriate?
I said a hundred, if you can buy it anytime and anywhere, it won't attract people's appetite, so we have to take our time.
The proprietress heard it and smiled.
Her smile, just like the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, made people feel very happy inexplicably.
She said, "Okay, I didn't expect you to have a lot of ghost ideas......
I laughed and was about to say something, when the curtain of the restaurant was lifted, and two uniformed people walked in, saying to the proprietress that "Health Bureau, check the health certificate of the practitioner......"
