Chapter 13: Showing timidity

Qi Ning saw that the business was negotiated, and his heart was happy, so he got up and said, "I'll write it to you!" ”。 When she picked up the brush, she remembered that she couldn't write calligraphy, so she raised her head again and said to them, "Although I am literate, I am not used to this." Or I say, who of you will write it? ”

Xiao Gongzi said: "Although the girl can write it, if it is not easy to recognize, I will ask someone to copy it again." ”

Qi Ning thought angrily, he knew that one day he would travel here, and he would use a brush to learn traditional Chinese characters. I'm really afraid that these people won't be able to understand the simplified words with their teeth and claws. So he lowered his head in shame and whispered: "Then I can write, if you don't understand, you can ask me again." ”

Xiao Fu said diligently while grinding ink: "The girl is beautiful and wise, presumably she will not be bad at writing!" ”

Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly glared at Xiao Fu and stopped him from talking further.

"Hey, let's write it." Qi Ning didn't bother to shirk it anymore. The pen was written in accordance with the writing format of the ancients from right to left and from top to bottom.

His hands and arms hurt from exhaustion, and the table was covered with paper covered with dense handwriting. Hey, this brush writing is paper-consuming, and it takes effort.

Xiao Gongzi and Shopkeeper Hu looked at the horizontal and vertical words, those simplified words, they thought they were typos, and they couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that this girl was not modest, she really couldn't write well!

Although the two were a little puzzled, they didn't say much, Xiao Gongzi smiled and picked up the written paper and looked at it carefully.

Qi stared at the embarrassed two and said, "The method is to write it down." I wonder if the two of you can understand it? "You must be calm, as the saying goes, the donkey does not fall, what's wrong with the ugly writing, there are more illiterate women in this dynasty, even men, and only those who have good family conditions can go to the private school to read and write, don't you just write ugly, what's there.

Xiao Gongzi couldn't help but smile: "It's okay." It's just that there are a few dishes that are more troublesome, and I'm afraid that the chef will not be able to do it well for a while, so the girl will bother to teach it herself. ”

"The extra little crispy pork in sour soup, the yellow stewed ang thorn fish, still needs to be made by the girl. This cooking, the heat is very important, or bother the girl to go to the kitchen to tell a few cooks in detail. Although the shopkeeper Hu kept beating the drum in his heart, he couldn't lose the face of the young owner, so he hurriedly agreed.

Qi Ning said: "This is really better, so I will call the chef to teach me one dish at a time, and find two more to start with, and it will be faster to do it." If you're not in a hurry, just wait here. But when these are done, it's almost dinner, and you can use it as a gift for diners who come in the evening to taste, just so that everyone can verify and verify, and the taste can be adjusted at any time. ”

Shopkeeper Hu was so busy that he said, "That's really troublesome girl." Naturally, I'm not in a hurry. ”

When Shopkeeper Hu came to the kitchen again, a chef and two apprentices in the restaurant were discussing with a few miscellaneous people. The chef is the Hu shopkeeper's family, less than ten years old in the Xiao family's restaurant apprenticeship, and later out of the apprentice was assigned to the Qing'an City this restaurant from the second kitchen to the head chef, relying on the Hu shopkeeper, this Hu chef has always had nostrils to the sky, the back kitchen has never had a good voice, a disobedience to the scolding, just now he just entered the door, heard the apprentice and a few miscellaneous words, suddenly angry came up, now I saw the Hu shopkeeper followed by an old girl came in, snorted from the nostrils, The knife in his hand slammed on the board: "Cousin, what does the young owner mean, if you don't plan to use me, why bother to find a powerless girl to humiliate me!" ”

"Shut up quickly, the owner and the young owner have always been kind, when did they say that they don't need you." Shopkeeper Hu squeezed his eyebrows.

"As soon as I came, I heard that you asked a girl to cook a table of dishes in the afternoon, what does that mean? Don't you hate what I did at noon that was unappetizing? Chef Hu angrily gestured with his hands and shouted.

"Shut up, if you have something to say later, now the young owner invites this Qi girl to teach you to cook a few new dishes, which we have never had, you give me a hard time to stop, and if you don't learn well, beware of the young owner cleaning you up."

"She's a little girl who doesn't have full teeth, I guess she can't hold this big spoon, joke, I'm afraid it's not a liar who eats and drinks!"

Qi Ning didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, this kind of person has always been arrogant, and he can really look at who in his eyes, he is probably afraid that Qi Ning will rob him of this job.

Qi Ning pointed to a guy with an apron and told him to wash the vegetables, the young man looked at Chef Hu who was uncertain, and saw that the shopkeeper Hu nodded, so he went to wash the vegetables according to Qi Ning's instructions.

A few pots of washed greens were served. Qi Ning cut it neatly and put it on a plate for later use: "I'll only say the method once, see the order by yourself, I won't have time to teach it today." Saying that, he poured oil into the pot, and Lisuo began to get busy, at first, Chef Hu was crooked on a shelf and looked at Qi Ning's back fiercely, and when Qi Ning put a boiled fish on the plate, the little apprentice and a few guys smelled the fragrance and tasted it.

"Mmmmmm, it's delicious, it.....'s delicious," said the young man who helped wash the vegetables.

Qi Ning neatly brushed the pot and poured oil and began to fry the small crispy meat, Chef Hu took a few steps forward in disbelief and looked at Qi Ning's unhurried meat cutting and flouring and seasoning, the so-called connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he made a move, looking at Qi Ning's movements, Chef Hu couldn't help but continue to hold the shelf, and carefully watched Qi Ning's every step. After cooking seven or eight dishes, Chef Hu was completely convinced, although this girl's knife skills are not good, but her hands and feet are neat, not in a hurry, and she is clearly good at cooking. Qi Ning worked part-time during the holidays and worked in the restaurant of his classmates for several holidays.

These more than 20 dishes were busy until dusk, and then they came to an end. Qi Ning rubbed his sore waist and turned around and asked, "Chef, can you see it?" ”

"Hu was offended just now, thank you girl for your advice, Hu took it. Basically, I understand it.,There are a few dishes that you should be familiar with after a few times.,If you can't remember, can you ask the girl a question or two.。 ”

"I have written down the amounts, ingredients, heat, etc. of these dishes, and I have handed them over to Xiao Gongzi, you can see for yourself when the time comes." Saying that, Qi Ning shook his hand and went upstairs, she is not a virgin, Chef Hu in front of her has repeatedly made disrespectful remarks, although he is convinced, should Qi Ning give him a good face, who said that a person who admits mistakes must be forgiven, and he doesn't care if he doesn't care, as for the rest, I'm sorry I can't really give it.

"I've tired the girl today." Xiao Gongzi looked at Qi Ning, who was unhappy, and said sincerely, I have heard what happened in the kitchen just now, but Chef Hu is the cousin of Shopkeeper Hu, if he reprimanded him in the past, it will make Shopkeeper Hu, who has been busy in the Xiao family for half his life, lose face.

Qi Ning sat down with his sore waist and took a few sips of tea, and said to Xiao Gongzi: "This is all as it should be, since I sold these twenty dishes to you, I will definitely not spread them to the outside world, but if Xiao Gongzi's royal majesty is not strict and it is passed out from you, then I can't rely on me." ”

Xiao Gongzi understands better than anyone else that if this recipe is leaked out, his family's business will not be unique, but it is difficult to ensure that other restaurants imitate it, but imitation also takes time. So he nodded and said: "What the girl said is very true, although our Xiao family is a businessman, but it is not an unreasonable family, if the Fang Zi leaks out from us, naturally we will not complain about the girl." ”

"If there is no basis for words, it is better to make a written evidence."

Xiao Gongzi was a little surprised, but she was very cautious! He knew that this Qi girl must understand that these dishes would not last long, so he had to sign a contract with him and note the problem in advance to save him trouble in the future.

So, the two parties signed a two-piece contract in detail, and noted the confidentiality of the recipes, as well as the complete buyout, and Qi Ning could not sell these vegetables by himself in the future.

After all the agreements were signed, and the shopkeeper Hu was asked to sign and draw, Xiao Gongzi asked the shopkeeper Hu to pay five hundred taels of silver to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning turned out to be the three small pieces of colorful paper handed over by the shopkeeper Hu, two were two hundred taels and one was one hundred taels. Shopkeeper Hu saw Qi Ning taking the silver ticket and looking at it carefully over and over, thinking that she suspected that it was fake: "Girl, this is the silver ticket of Xiao Ji Qian Zhuang in the city, and the money village is also our Xiao family, the silver ticket will never be fake, if the girl is not at ease, she will go to the Qian Zhuang to check it later." ”

Qi Ning raised her head, saw the master and servant looking at her with a smile, and hurriedly said in disguise: "I came from a cold door, and all I have seen are copper plates and scattered silver, and I haven't seen a few silver tickets, it's just a little strange, which makes you laugh." I don't believe in Xiao Gongzi and Hu Shopkeeper. ”

Xiao Gongzi thought that she was covering it up, and she didn't break it, but just smiled and said: "I look at the girl, there should be more than dozens of dishes to cook, I wonder if I can continue to cooperate with the girl in the future?" ”

"At the moment, these dishes are enough for your restaurant to be prosperous for a year or two, but in the autumn, when the weather is cold, I have a fresh way to eat, and you can just come to me when the time comes, since it is an old customer, the price is easy to negotiate."

"Miss Qi, why don't you sell the recipe to us now to save trouble?" Xiao Gongzi knew that Qi Ning would definitely be more than a star, and he was sure that the girl in front of him would give him more surprises.

"It's getting hot every day right now, and the dish I'm talking about needs cool weather to eat, and it also takes time to verify the return rate of these dishes today."
