Chapter 9: The Trick Menu
This Zhao Haipeng's actions are becoming more and more incomprehensible to me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He wrote me a menu and told me to buy it according to the above items, saying that I must buy it all within seven days. And let me open normally from tomorrow, but I must not be cooking fish dishes, and everything else will be as usual, and do not delay.
The menu itself is not a problem, it is nothing more than 4 catties and 4 taels of carp, 7 inches and 7 points of catfish plus a large piece...... Ox blood tofu.
As a result, my fourth brother and I were busy with the same three grandsons, the fourth brother was responsible for cleaning up the mess at the front desk, and I called the employees one by one in the middle of the night, so that they could take back the holiday and let everyone go to work as usual tomorrow.
I worked until the middle of the night, when my brothers were so tired that they were about to schizophrenia, so we took a breath, barely finished the preparations, ate a few bites of food, and stared at the table for half the night.
The next day, after my people arrived, we finally opened on time.
In the next few days, Zhao Haipeng talked and counted, and sure enough, he helped me take up the work of a chef, and as soon as this guy took a kitchen knife, he immediately impressed me.
At first, I thought that the craftsmanship of Yin Wujia was already at its peak, but after watching Zhao Haipeng cook, I knew what it meant to be a person outside of people.
Zhao Haipeng is worthy of being a cook born in a cooking soldier, the efficiency of cooking is quite high, and the more people there are, the more chaotic the rules and regulations, the list of seven or eight people can be busy, the spoon, the ingredients, the fire, the plate, the whole and the thousand-armed Guanyin are as dizzying, I am secretly surprised in my heart, and I also sincerely admire the old man's eyesight.
The man he introduced me to was a chef.
In this way, Zhao Haipeng has been a cook for me for six days since the day after the death of the old man Yin, and in these six days, there has been no special strange incident, although Huo Ji's boiled fish is not selling fish has caused a lot of sensation in the market, and it has also lost a lot of customers, but after all, it can barely be maintained.
After six days, my heart gradually calmed down, I thought that this was the end of the matter, but what I didn't expect was that the apparent calm was only a precursor to the storm, the real threat...... It's just getting started.
On the seventh day of Old Man Yin's death, Zhao Haipeng called me over alone, and he said to me very seriously: "Boss Huo, today is the first seven days of Yin Wujia, whether you can survive the catastrophe depends on the hammer tonight." ”
I saw that Zhao Haipeng's face was serious, not like a joke, so I also became serious, wanting to hear what kind of arrangements he had tonight.
While speaking, Zhao Haipeng glanced at his watch and said: "Boss Huo, listen up, from seven o'clock in the evening, we won't accept guests, but we can't close the door, there are guests coming, you look at my face, if I shake my head, you don't want to receive it, just say that our hotel will take stock and drive the guests out." But if I nod my head after a guest comes, you must stop him and send him to a private room, where he will be served with good food and drink, and you must not let him go!
Zhao Haipeng's arrangement is fresh enough, he doesn't close the door and doesn't pick up customers, it seems that our night business is specifically waiting for a special guest.
I nodded, and I agreed.
After saying this, Zhao Haipeng continued to arrange, saying that it was best to leave only him and myself in the hotel, and let the rest of the staff and waiters all leave, leaving no one behind.
Naturally, I didn't understand this, but just as I was about to ask Zhao Haipeng the reason, this guy suddenly patted his head, as if he remembered something very important, and he told me that time was urgent, and he wanted to go out, so that I could come back if I had something to do.
I felt inexplicable when I was cold by Zhao Haipeng, but seeing him running away in a hurry, I felt that he didn't mean to sway me, there must be something he needed to do.
In this way, I fooled around with a few guys to open the store until more than six o'clock, and Zhao Haipeng ran back with a fresh big rooster.
I looked at the live chicken he was carrying in his hand, and asked with a little disappointment, "You are in a hurry to run out, is this what you are doing?" There are 'suit chickens' in the restaurant, isn't it enough?"
Zhao Haipeng nodded and told me that when he went out to run errands, he saw that this chicken was good-looking, and he bought it back from the vegetable market, which was of no great use, and I hope it ....... Not at all.
After that, I looked at my watch, and according to our agreement, I retired all the employees in advance, even my brother Zhang Asi did not stay, only covered the door of the store, and Zhao Haipeng sat on both sides of the store at a table.
During this period, Zhao Haipeng sat upright like a soldier, took a cup of tea, and held a newspaper of the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue to read, while I was very bored, sitting on the front desk computer and playing landlords.
Six or seven o'clock is the point of eating, I open the door and do not open for business, naturally will attract many misunderstandings, first a pair of mother and son walked in and asked me to order, I turned my head to look at Zhao Haipeng, found that he slowly shook his head.
Subsequently, we hurriedly said no to the smiling faces of others, and explained that we were taking stock in the middle of the month, and we really couldn't spare people to cook.
The mother and son looked at me incomprehensibly, and walked out, and when I was about to go out, I saw the little boy in my mother's hand turn his head and look at me again, and said to his mother: "Mom, there is a young lady behind that uncle......
The mother grabbed the child and hurried away in disgust, and I only heard the woman's slurred voice reproaching the boy: "Don't talk nonsense, where is the ......"
Listening to the child's unintentional words, my hair was a little numb at the root, and I instinctively turned around and looked behind, only to see rows of customers drinking the remaining beer bottles.
Although I didn't see anything, I still couldn't put my mind at ease, so I had to continue to ask Zhao Haipeng, who was reading the newspaper, "That...... Brother Zhao, is there a little girl behind me?"
Zhao Haipeng didn't even look at me, and responded directly: "Didn't you just watch it?
He was speechless, and if I believed my own eyes, how could I ask him.
After the awkward silence, there was another shirtless man with a dragon tattoo, as soon as he entered the door, Zhao Haipeng shook his head vigorously, so I didn't even let him sit in the seat, and just kicked out with good words.
The tattooed dragon is quite masculine, as soon as he heard that I didn't receive it, he was not very happy, he scolded and walked out, and I could only continue to laugh, listening to the three grandsons.
After the man walked out, he slammed the glass door of my hotel, and the glass door swayed back and forth sharply with the man's swinging arm, and with the change of light and shadow angle, sometimes it reflected my helpless body image like a mirror, and sometimes it became transparent as if it did not exist.
Looking at the constantly shaking glass door, my eyes snapped!
In the glass door, in addition to the image that I had at that time, there was a blurry red shadow, and when the door shook to a certain angle, the red shadow was the clearest, although it was fleeting, but I could see it clearly.
It was a man standing behind me, covered in blood, with black hair and a shawl, and red eyes...... Little girl!
"Ghost!" I was stunned and said to Zhao Haipeng, "There's a ghost behind me?!"
To put it bluntly, when I saw that scene, my spirit was about to split, but Zhao Haipeng was as calm as anyone else, he finally put down the newspaper this time, looked at me a little hysterical, and said softly: "Boss Huo, remember in your life, there are no ghosts in this world at all, the world is materialistic, everything you see is just a scientific phenomenon that cannot be explained yet." Since it's a scientific phenomenon, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Zhao Haipeng's "high-minded talk" was really shocking, and his resolute attitude seemed to be the popular legal education on TV, which made me feel like I was running the wrong set.
But after a long time of him, the little girl behind me really saw it, and no matter how he explained it, I couldn't ignore it.
So, I stood still, still not moving, only trembling and stretched out my hand and pointed behind my back and said, "Then you have to tell me, what should I do now?"
Zhao Haipeng glanced behind me, looked at his watch again, and finally pointed: "Yin and yang are not good, just don't see it." ”
Zhao Haipeng's words were light, but when things got to this point, I really had no other way, so after hesitating, I turned around under pressure and tried to pretend that I didn't see it.
Don't say it, I don't know if it was Chef Zhao's words that worked, or if those strange things could only appear in the dazzle of glass, when I turned around, I still didn't see anything, except for the white wall of the front desk and beer bottles, what kind of little girl in red was there.
I can't see it in my eyes, and my heart is naturally a little settled, and I thought about it, Zhao Haipeng sat so steadily, obviously he was a little "Taoist", and people were not afraid of taking care of things, so what should I worry about?
Having figured this out, I reluctantly calmed myself down and continued to sit on the stage. After that, there was nothing more eerie in the hotel, and although I could still see the red girl's shadow at an angle from time to time in the reflection of the glass, she was only standing at my side, motionless.
Soon, it was late at night.
Although there are still crowds outside my hotel, the newspapers blown away by the wind and the barbecue smoke that diffuse from time to time still make me feel cold and gloomy.
The figure of the moving person was blurry, I don't know who kicked over a glass wine bottle and hit my glass door, the wind blew on the mouth of the bottle "whining", the sound echoed in my empty restaurant, like someone's crying.
In the sound of devil crying, the shadow of the little red girl in front of my door suddenly disappeared, and then Zhao Haipeng suddenly put down the newspaper and listened attentively to the motive on the other side of the door.
At this time, the smoke from the barbecue stall outside the door became thicker, almost covering my front door, and in the artificial swirling smoke, a black hazy shadow gradually walked over.
Zhao Haipeng's face twitched obviously, and then he picked up the newspaper and looked at it differently.
All I heard him say almost to himself: "What should come will come after all......
