Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 178 I'm Just Joking (34) Asking for a Monthly Ticket
So Xie Yu kept this matter in his heart.

And when he was preparing ingredients in the afternoon, he found that what he had done before was far from enough. It seemed that he couldn't even wash vegetables and meat when he came to Honghong Restaurant.

At the beginning, Chen Nian also told him how to wash the meat, how to wash the vegetables, and to what extent.

But later, Chen Nian also had his own affairs to be busy, so he asked He Hai to talk about it.

Xie Yu already knew just now that there are currently three people in the store besides himself.

The first one is Chen Nian who is both the chef and the boss.

That's a man who can handle everything from cooking to washing and serving dishes, from red table to white bank.

The second one is Chen Nian's old mother, who works in Honghong Restaurant as a diligent worker, serving dishes, cashier, and account management. Because Feng Honghong also opened a restaurant with her husband before, she is also very agile and manly. Kind and generous, very easy to get along with.

The third one is He Hai. He Hai was a kitchen assistant when he came in, but later he showed great interest in the white case, so he was taught by Chen Nian to make another signature scallion noodles in the store .

Thanks to He Hai's natural talent in the white case, coupled with the extra practice after returning home every day.

Knowing how to draw inferences from one example, not what to say and what to do, but to think in your own way, so I quickly learned to mix noodles with scallion oil, and now I have advanced from a helper to a white case master and a helper.

Salaries have naturally gone up as well.

But now even He Hai can give advice on washing vegetables, washing meat and cutting vegetables, which means that the other party here has always prepared vegetables according to the high requirements of aging.

Xie Yu accepted all these words.

Although a lot of work has been done, the workload has increased, and it is more tiring than normal dish preparation.

But the dishes prepared in this way are clean and hygienic.

Xie Yu didn't realize what is customer's preference until it opened at night.

I don't go to other stores, I would rather see those stores empty, but I still have to queue outside the Honghong Hotel.

When he was working as a cook in a chain restaurant before, he encountered customers queuing up during the peak hours of holidays, but that was because their store itself was located in a shopping mall with a huge traffic flow, and there were always activities in normal times. , launched activities such as vouchers, cheap set meals and discounts on various dishes.

But Honghong Hotel did not do any form of promotion to the outside world, secondly, there were no discounts in the store, and thirdly, the location was not too good, it was just a family restaurant in an ordinary residential alley.

As a result, as soon as the meal time came, the store was quickly filled, and there was a long queue outside.

And for restaurants, the row number is not the same as the row number.

Some customers line up outside some restaurants just because they suddenly passed by and saw a lot of people, so they took a number, and if they saw something they wanted to eat later, they would go to another place to eat.

Or if you can't wait, you can only go to a store with fewer people.

But some people come to eat just to eat this, and they will wait here after getting the number, even if they go out for a while, they will come back when the time comes.

Xie Yu discovered that the Red Hotel belongs to the second situation.

So Xie Yu has been busy under the continuous customers. He ran out of the dishes he had prepared, so he could only continue to wash and cut the vegetables himself, but the meat and tofu had to be done by himself.

There is no need to worry about the side, just hand it over to He Hai and you can rest assured.

In this way, it has been busy until 09:30, and the number of customers has gradually decreased.

Wait until around [-]:[-] when the last table of guests leaves.

Although it was time to get off work soon, they usually didn't have dinner until this hour, and Hong Honghong used to go home to cook some porridge by herself.

But today, after all, newcomers came, and there were still many dishes that Xie Yu had prepared for the interview at noon, so they brought out the hot ones again.

"Mom, what are you reading?" Chen Nian found out that his mother was eating and reading novels there again, so he asked curiously.

And Feng Honghong looked up at Chen Nian: "Read a novel."

"What's the name of the book? Is it good?"

"That must be a good read. The title of the book is "When Can Nosy People Shut Up Completely."

He Hai and Xie Yu snickered aside after hearing this, but Chen Nian accidentally suffered a loss, and then while his mother was turning the pages, he rolled his eyes and saw the name of the book.

"My husband is a chef"

After failing to find a bargain from his mother, Chen Nian turned his gaze back to Xie Yu: "Among these dishes, which one do you want to learn first?"

Xie Yu thought for a while: "Braised pork, I really like to eat this, and it's the shop's signature. I see that many customers order it."

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment.

Because he suddenly thought of something!

That is Xie Yu whose surname seems to be Xie...and this appearance
"Where is your hometown?"

"Chongqing."

?

Chen Ning gasped after hearing this.

"What's the matter boss?"

Chen Nian quickly shook his head: "It's okay, then I will teach you how to make braised pork from tomorrow."

He didn't expect the person who came this time to look so much like Master Xie when he was young...

It's just that he hadn't seen many photos of Master Xie when he was young.

That is to say, I was lucky enough to see it twice...

But because I don't have a deep impression, I didn't remember it for a while.

Moreover, the clothes worn by people in that era were a bit different, and the old black and white photos were a little yellowish and fuzzy.

But now it looks more and more like it.

But this is also good, everyone can be regarded as a reunion in a sense.

Then Chen Nian asked the other party half-jokingly: "Xiao Xie, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Xie Yu shook his head: "I don't have a girlfriend."

Chen Nian just wanted to say that young people can talk to a girlfriend first.

But what I think of is another single, it seems that I will not fight alone in the future.

But who would have thought that Xie Yugang immediately added after finishing speaking: "But I have a wife."

Chen Nian: "???"

"You have a wife? You're only 23!"

"Yes, just married this year, the man must be 23 years old."

But Chen Nian looked at each other's left and right hands: "Then you didn't wear a ring either?"

"I usually don't wear a ring when I'm working, otherwise it's unhygienic when cooking, so I put the ring on a rope and hang it around my neck."

As he spoke, he pulled down his collar to show the ring hanging around his neck.

When Feng Honghong heard this, she immediately found a chance to fight back: "Look at Xiao He, he has been talking with his girlfriend for two or three years now, and Xiao Xie is also married... I don't know when my son will bring a girl back , save the effort of talking about me every day, maybe you will find someone long ago."

When Chen Nian heard this, he couldn't hold back: "Mom, didn't I...haven't met a suitable one? Besides, other people's homes are full of parents who spend all day on blind dates, and you haven't introduced me to anyone what."

Feng Honghong laughed contemptuously when she heard this: "Blind date? I have dozens of sisters and friends. I can send you a wechat to the group now and you can go out on blind dates every day for three months. It's not the same. How about I Can you tell me?"

When Chen Nian heard that his mother had such contacts, he thought about it and had dinner with different girls every day for three consecutive months. Every time he ate a meal, he would be asked about his age, height, weight, hobbies, and whether he had a car or not. room and so on.

When I think of this, I can't help but shudder.

"Forget it, Mom, I was joking."
