Chapter 261: Lao Jia and Sister-in-law
Lao Jia glanced at the other cook who was busy beside him, and he looked like he was on fire.
Recently, there has been a sudden influx of too many Qiu Ba in Texas, which almost washed down the business of this military city at once, and the number of people who eat and gamble into the Qinglou has increased sharply, so the Gu shopkeeper of Taibaiju hired a cook in order to prevent the possible fullness, which directly threatened Lao Jia's status.
Why? His old Jia is also an old man of Taibaiju, since the opening of Taibaiju, he has been working in the back kitchen, twenty years of time, step by step from the apprentice to the master, but now he has changed the owner, and in the blink of an eye, he found an unknown cook from outside to partner with him?
The most infuriating thing is that the wages of the two bosses are still the same, this new owner really didn't take into account his old Jia's 20 years of youth, it is really too deceitful.
And Lao Jia's mother-in-law used to work in the restaurant, and the couple received double wages, and the two of them did the work in the restaurant in an orderly manner, and they did everything to make people give a thumbs up, almost the foreman inside and outside - but who would have thought that their mother-in-law was pregnant, and the owner who originally promised to pay the salary went out of the restaurant? Now my aunt has to recuperate, and half of her errand has been divided, and the majesty in the back kitchen in the past can't find anyone now, who doesn't make a fire?
Originally, Lao Jia heard that the new owner had changed, and he was counting on more guests, so he made more efforts to prop up the back kitchen, so that the new owner had a good impression, and then introduced several of his relatives to the restaurant. Who knew that the proprietor had hired a few more people to come back, all of them were strange-looking people, and their eyes looked very much like the legendary thief, and they were so mad that they couldn't do it, so who would have nothing to do with the young man who was doing chores in the kitchen, who would collect the chopped chicken paws like treasures?
But these are all trivial things, in the end, Lao Jia still feels that the spoon is not as comfortable as before, the restaurant is full of newcomers, no one wants to listen to him, the old man is majestic, Master Cui, who is in charge of the spoon together, is also thinking about how to squeeze himself away all day long, looking at the restaurant, there is no one who can speak, and the good days of the past are really gone.
And according to the usual practice, the master in charge of the spoon has to take two apprentices, and the apprentices' wages are given by themselves, and the restaurant only takes care of the food, which means that Lao Jia has to deduct two pieces of money out of his own pocket, but he didn't feel distressed to death.
However, these complaints can only fall in his heart after all, after all, the owner is the owner, especially the new owner is actually very easy to talk, for example, he went to the owner to find his sister-in-law to find an errand to work in the lobby, and the shopkeeper Gu readily agreed, so that he was very proud in front of his mother-in-law, and the family status was also stabilized.
But just two days, Lao Jia felt that something was not quite right, the shopkeeper Gu left his sister-in-law to do things, not necessarily for his face, he found that the shopkeeper Gu was always very polite to his sister-in-law, standing behind the counter with a smile, his eyes went straight to his sister-in-law, and he didn't know how to converge at all.
Later, when I inquired, this Gu shopkeeper is more than 30 people, and he has not married his mother-in-law, this time Lao Jia is even more worried, his sister-in-law is called Su Yu, a little girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although the flower handkerchief Baotou Jing Hai cloth skirt looks rustic, but it is really very attractive, which elderly man is not itchy to look at such a girl?
He privately reminded his sister-in-law a few times, asking her not to give the surname Gu a good face and stay away from him, but the little girl didn't listen to her, and she liked to stick to the shopkeeper Gu, every time Lao Jia picked up the curtain with the vegetable plate, he could always see the sister-in-law standing on the edge of the counter and chatting happily with the shopkeeper Gu, and the bursts of laughter like silver bells were simply disturbing.
And one more thing... In the past two days, although the food in the restaurant is still from his hands, he has added some strange things, the guy who was in charge of doing chores in the back kitchen before has a pair of eyes like knives, and he stands in the back kitchen and watches, every time he bakes a dish, he has to let Lao Jia add some inexplicable things into it, all of which are some transparent small particles, Lao Jia doesn't know what it is, and he doesn't dare to taste it, he just thinks that most of the people surnamed Gu are not serious people, and they want to make a fortune by relying on some crooked ways.
What a fucking madness! This is to feed those Qiu Ba, and dare to add things indiscriminately? He doesn't know how to cook the dishes in the southeast and northwest of his old Jia, but he has never heard of the practice of adding this kind of thing, if he really eats dead people, look at how his surname Gu is neat!
But I still have to make money... If you want to quit this boss, let alone make a living, your mother-in-law will have to make a fuss, but when the time comes, if something really happens, you have to find a way to get out...
The lobby came to urge the vegetables again, Lao Jia wiped his sweat, and looked at Xiao Man, who was choosing vegetables next to him, and his eyes were full of the cunning of the people in the market.
It's not all bad, at least if you catch this trick, then the surnamed Gu dares not to add monthly money to himself?
Maybe you'll get more... I just have to run away before the incident, and when the time comes, I will be a bullshit cook, and I will also set up a restaurant and be a shopkeeper to play!
……
"Shopkeeper, you didn't do this before, did you?"
Su Yu put his hand on the counter, held his chin to look at Gu Huai, and noticed the look of the ugly account room on the side, Su Yu straightened up, making the peach-like chest stand up by two points, and his eyes were full of the pride of the young girl.
The ugly account room sneered and turned his head, Gu Huai smiled: "Yes, my hometown was originally in the north, but King Yan rebelled, and there was chaos everywhere, so he fled here. ”
He raised his eyes and swept the lobby with a lot more guests than a few days ago: "Thanks to this business, it's getting better, although this is not a difficult guy, but there are no customers who are still panicking." ”
"Oh, I'll just say it," Su Yuwu's eyes rolled, and when he saw that there was no one around, and the noisy Wei Laosan was not there, he quietly approached Gu Huai: "Shopkeeper, I see that you are a good person, I can't bear to see you suffer, I have something to tell you." ”
Gu Huai also leaned over: "What's the matter?" ”
Su Yu covered her lips: "I said shopkeeper, don't be so sincere, I heard my brother-in-law say, the kitchen is looking for those retail investors from outside the city, that dish is many miles expensive, you still find a familiar vegetable vendor yourself, let him collect it from outside the city, my brother-in-law said that the person who does chores in the back kitchen is not honest, if he eats kickbacks and eats ruthlessly, how about buying you some rotten vegetables and overnight meat?" And what good drinks can those who are soldiers drink? Those who open restaurants have to add water to them, why don't you redeem them at all? ”
"Oh? And such a thing? ”
Gu Huai frowned: "Wine mixed with water, if you find out, these Qiu Ba are afraid that they are going to make trouble, right?" I'll talk about this later, but the kitchen chores are still related to me, I didn't expect to do such a thing... You wait, I'll look for him! ”
Su Yu grabbed him: "Ouch, shopkeeper, you are so old, why do you still look like a hairy boy, let me tell you, this relative is doing business together, it is the most difficult to sort out, if you don't pay attention, you will have a grudge, you can let him come to buy, I'm afraid it's also very close, right?" You say it, don't let him get off the stage too much, just dial it down a little. ”
Gu Huai couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”
He turned around and prepared to go to the back kitchen, in fact, he wanted to ask Xiao Man kelp about refining MSG, the dishes have been using MSG for two days, although the business has improved a little, but it still hasn't reached the kind of scene he imagined that is spread to the market, and he doesn't know what went wrong, is it that Qiu Ba only likes to drink and don't care about eating? If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to change my thinking.
Su Yu was still holding his chin and staring at his back, and suddenly grinned, muttering to himself, "The shopkeeper's smile is quite good-looking..."
The voice was very low, but the female accountant on the side raised her head slightly, she looked at Su Yu's appearance, and squinted her eyes slightly.
This little girl... Want to die?
