Chapter Twenty-Six: Talking about Conditions
Although Master Sun Jingkong is eccentric and likes to steal words, the dishes he makes are not said, although it is only four home-cooked dishes, but it also shows that his basic skills are solid and meticulous, which can be called sophisticated.
But just as I was about to make a decision and hire this master chef as the head chef, the master suddenly changed his mouth and put forward the only condition for me!
As soon as I heard that the master still had conditions, I was sitting down at the time, and immediately stood up, and then said respectfully: "What conditions do you have, please say, what can be done, we will try our best to meet them!"
After listening to my words, the master nodded and said directly: "I am a monk and have kept the Ten Perfect Bodhisattva vows, the first precept is **, the second precept is killing, and the third precept is captivity......
After listening patiently to the master and taking stock of the messy precepts one by one, I couldn't help but say, "Master, can you tell me the main point, your ...... It doesn't have much to do with us!"
Hearing this, Master Sun nodded slightly, and then slowly told us: "As a monk, in addition to the above precepts, I can't cook meat dishes, so as a cook in your place, I can only cook 'Luohan dishes'!"
Listening to Master Sun's words, I was stunned.
The so-called Luohan cuisine, I really know something, is a vegetarian dish without meat, this vegetarian dish, because it allows the use of animal fat and sugar soup condiments, so it is worse than the vegan "Bodhisattva dish", so it is called "Arhat cuisine or Luohan Zhai", it is a favorite vegetarian dish of dignitaries who have just entered Buddhism, but do not want to give up the desire for tongue.
Among them, the braised bamboo mushrooms made by the master for us are typical representatives of Luohan cuisine.
Looking at Master Sun's pious and almost idiotic expression, I knew that this request was not too much for him, and he might even have regressed, just for our hotel...... But it's not very acceptable.
After all, if I don't cook meat dishes, then the cooks I have summoned will only be half of them, and when the time comes, I will be compassionate, but those diners will never do it.
Moreover, now that people's lives are better, who doesn't order a few meat dishes when they go to a restaurant?
After a sigh of helplessness, I smiled at the master chef, and was about to say that we would consider this kind of thing in detail, but I didn't think that this master would take the lead again.
After closing his eyes slightly, this Sun Jingkong said again: "I see that the donor has a sad face, and he must not have thought about it yet!"
As he spoke, Sun Jingkong turned around and wanted to leave, and then put down his words and said: "I see that the donor's fate is not over, and he is uncertain, so he will retire first! If you decide to hire me within 24 hours, you can contact Zhu Guli, and I can get a 20% discount on my salary! If you want to buy it as soon as possible!"
After speaking, Master Sun waved his sleeves and left, leaving only me, standing in place with dry eyes, looking at his back dumbfounded.
I sincerely doubt that he ...... Are you here to sing a one-man show?
I haven't even said a complete sentence since I met this master, and even if he could guess what others were thinking, it wouldn't be like this, right?
Seeing the master brush his sleeves away, I sighed, but also felt a little more inexplicable loss in my heart.
Then, I said helplessly to Zhao Shuihe beside me: "It seems that we are not good to go out today! Although there are many talents here, they have strange tempers, and they are really not easy to find." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shuihe nodded helplessly.
Just as I was sighing and sighing, Mr. Zhu Guli, who led us to the intermediary, walked in again.
As soon as Mr. Zhu, who was darker than chocolate, met us, he smiled and asked us, "How are you? Are you satisfied with this master? He is the person with the best temper and the highest cooking skills in us! You can always rest assured this time, right?"
When asked, I scratched my head and told him very helplessly: "Master Sun is not capable of saying it, he is human...... It's a bit hypocritical, I'm afraid we can't afford it!"
With my words, a trace of loss quickly crossed Zhu Guli's face, and then he put on a smile again, and then said to us: "It's okay! I have a few alternative cooks here! If you don't mind, come back tomorrow, there is always one that suits you!"
Listening to his words, I nodded gratefully, then glanced at my watch and decided to leave.
With an apologetic face, I said to Mr. Zhu Guli: "Mr. Zhu, I have disturbed you for so long, and I wonder if I can't go, let's go first! Let's contact you tomorrow?"
Listening to my words, Zhu Guli was shocked and then smiled: "This is leaving! Aren't you sitting for a while?"
When asked, I smiled helplessly and said, "No, my brother is still waiting outside! ”
After listening to my words, Zhu Guli nodded very politely, and then he smiled strangely at me, and said something that made us jaw-dropping!!
Zhu Guli said with a smile: "Since the three of you are leaving, then ...... Can you settle the money for me?"
I was surprised for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't you say that the agent charges a one-way fee? Besides, I haven't found a suitable chef at all, so what kind of money do I want?"
Listening to my words, Zhu Guli was stunned for a moment, and then said to us: "Boss Huo! You are wrong! I don't want money from the intermediary, I want money from you for dinner!"
"Eat?" I was stupid.
"Eat!" Zhu Guli pointed to the tasting dishes made by the chefs in our single room and said: "Three bowls of lo mein, a fully carved gold and jade treasure boat, a bird's nest grilled sea cucumber, and a four-vegetarian arhat Zhai, a total of 12,788!"
Twelve thousand seven hundred eighty-eight?! When I heard the quotation of these dishes, I had a feeling that my brain was being beaten with a stick.
Then, I held back my anger, turned around and pressed the water lotus that wanted to hit people with a plate, and at the same time questioned this Zhu Guli and said: "Grandson! You have a limit to slandering people, right? Even if we use your pots and bowls to make a tasting dish, it shouldn't be so much!"
Listening to my words, Meizi also followed and said, "That's right! And except for the first noodle that we took the initiative to ask for, the rest are what they have to do with their own materials! What does it matter to us?"
To the question, Mr. Zhu Guli's answer broke through the bottom line of my cognition at one time!
He never mentioned the matter of the intermediary and the cook, but told Meizi with a wicked smile: "Miss, it doesn't matter if these ingredients are brought by the chef himself......! Do you have to give money?"
"Hotel?!" all of us asked, widening their eyes, "Aren't you an agency here?"
When asked, this Zhu Guli retreated to the door with a smile, and then personally pushed open the door of our single room.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the aisle outside the room and said, "What kind of intermediary company, this has always been a hotel! You can see for yourself! We are a serious Lu cuisine restaurant!"
