The story of a cook

Chapter 304

Li Shuang's house is very close to my house. Her house is an old community, which belongs to the first batch of commercial housing. They are all old-fashioned, just like Sister Zhao's house.

At that time, the three-bedroom and one-living room was similar to the current two-bedroom, and the closed unit was only 37 square meters, which was very small.

Li Shuang's house used to be two rooms, and it was quite spacious for her to live alone.

When I arrived at Li Shuang's house, Li Shuang was cooking dumplings, and Zheng Jiaqi was not there. When I asked, it turned out that he had gone out to buy skewers.

This group of women can also do it, eating dumplings with skewers, I don’t know what kind of way to eat them.When Zheng Jiaqi came back, Li Shuang cooked the dumplings and brought them to the table. There was ready-made white wine and beer in the room. It is estimated that Zheng Jiaqi and Li Shuang would drink some when they came back from get off work every day.

I have always felt that women in Northeast China can drink quite well, and they are no worse than men in drinking.

All the women I've met drink alcohol, and not a small amount of alcohol.

Take Lin Yan as an example, she doesn't drink very much, if I drink, I can't drink her, and she drinks more than I do.Zhang Li, Zhou Xiaomei, Sister Zhao, Zheng Jiaqi, and Li Shuang all drank, and their drinking capacity was not small.So far, I have seen that Mr. Wang is the one who drinks the most among women. I can't drink her, but she drinks like water. She's fine.

Maybe both men and women who do catering can drink bars, even if they can't drink, they can drink slowly.

In addition, check yourself, it seems that drinking with women is more frequent than with men, it is not because I have a relationship with women, it is probably because I can drink, and there is no purpose in drinking, I just feel happy when I drink.If there is any purpose for drinking with women, and the purpose is achieved after drinking, it is estimated that no one will drink with you in the future.

The wine is all poured, the dumplings are steaming hot, and there is a big push of skewers, which is also considered rich.

I said: "Eat some dumplings first, I'm hungry."

Zhang Li said: "I'm hungry too, let's eat two dumplings before drinking."

"This is really a husband and wife." Li Shuang said: "Okay, then eat first, make up for it, and then drink."

The quick-frozen dumplings are not as delicious as those made by yourself, and the taste is much worse, but they are delicious when you are hungry.Four people, two plates of dumplings, soon one plate of dumplings was gone.

Li Shuang said: "I've eaten up all the dumplings, and it's almost done. Let's have a sip."

"I'm done. I didn't eat less. Who knows about you." Zhang Li said.

"I'm fine, I'm not very hungry." Zheng Jiaqi said.

I swallowed the dumpling in my mouth and said: "Come on, isn't it just drinking, who is afraid of whom."

They toasted together and took a big sip.

Zhang Li gave me a bunch of beef tendons and said, "Old Tan, the manager of Qicai is here again today."

I said, "Really? Come here, don't ask others to come here."

"I don't think it's good for her to come here." Zhang Li was a little worried.

"What's the matter, can she tell the villa to close?" I said.

Zheng Jiaqi said: "It's on the first floor. I didn't see it on the second floor. I heard that I came here twice. It must be to see how our house is. Her business is not doing well now."

Zhang Li said, "It's not very good."

Li Shuang said: "Come whenever you like, as long as you spend money on food, whatever you can do! No matter what, come and drink—"

Li Shuang was an optimist at all times, and said whatever he wanted, with a carefree look.

After drinking, I asked: "How did the guests give feedback on the dishes in the past two days?"

Zheng Jiaqi said: "One word, good!"

I said, "It can't be all right."

"I asked a few guests on the second floor, and they all said it was delicious, especially the fruity french fries served in the past two days, almost all said it was delicious."

"The one on the first floor is the same. They say that the french fries are delicious, and they order more than the pot of meat. I guess Manager Qicai also came to eat the french fries." Li Shuang said.

Zhang Li said: "In the past two days, the guests have responded very well to the dishes. Our dishes have always been very good. There is nothing wrong with it. If there is something wrong, I will tell you."

I said: "That's fine, we haven't opened for a month, and we don't dare to say it now, so we have to wait for three months to see what happens. If the business is still the same after three months, That counts as a win."

"Yes, no matter what, we have to wait for three months to see what it looks like." Zhang Li said.

"I think our house is good. Now the first floor is full every night, and the private rooms on the second floor are also full. This is not enough." Li Shuang said.

"Now it's mainly because our house is newly opened. The decoration is good, the service is good, and you can watch Errenzhuan. It's very attractive. The guests come to eat something new. If it's still like this after three months, it means that our house is really good. The food is better than others, the service is better than others, and the price is reasonable. Everyone agrees, and then we can really do it. So now we have to keep it, don’t be sloppy, don’t make mistakes, and have to be careful Yes, good business is just an illusion now." I said.

Li Shuang said: "We have done enough now."

"It's not good enough. Anyone who works hard can be in place. I know." I said, "It's only qualified if it's in place. It's not even good. A restaurant can only be excellent."

"Master Tan, your request is too high." Li Shuang said.

I said: "It's not high at all. We are in the catering industry. We have four heads together. If we are asked to study airplanes and cannons, we will definitely not be able to study them. If we study restaurants, why can't we do the research on restaurants well? Then the catering industry in these years It’s all for nothing.”

Zheng Jiaqi said: "That's right, as long as you, Master Tan, are here, we can guarantee that we can do well."

I said: "I don't have that much ability, we have to work together to do it well. A restaurant is not a job done by one person. No matter how good I cook the dishes, it's useless to have no one to serve you. Your front desk service is very important. I dare not offend you at all."

"You, Old Tan, don't dare to offend us. Now we are acting based on your face." Zhang Li said.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, besides, I don't know Bei." I said.

Zhang Li said: "If you really don't dare to offend us, then you can have a drink with the three of us."

I raised the wine glass and said, "What's the big deal, come on, who's it to start with, tell me."

Zhang Li said: "It goes without saying, start from the host."

Li Shuang hurriedly said: "That's not okay, it has to start with the manager. If it starts with me, I won't be able to wear small shoes tomorrow."

"No, I am a magnanimous person, and I will never wear small shoes for you." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Pull it down, now my back feels chilly." Li Shuang pretended to shiver.

"Hehe, I think so too. I agree with what Sister Shuang said, let's start with Manager Zhang." Zheng Jiaqi said.

I said: "Look at you, if I can't say it, you have to ask me to come. Come on, drink and you will push me and her. I really won't come if I do this again next time."

"What's the matter, I'm afraid the three of us won't be able to accompany you well. There are still beauties waiting outside. Come on, let's start with me, one at a time, why don't you?" Zhang Li said.

I said: "I'm still afraid of you, but you can't take one sip. This good wine has to be drunk slowly. It is called drinking if you drink it carefully. You can fill your belly with one sip. If you drink it before you taste it, that's called drinking." Why drink, like this, let's drink one-third of it."

"Just say you're terrified, and pay back a third. It's nice to say, no, you have to do it, one bite at a time."

"You are murdering your own husband, do you know?"

"If you were your own husband, I wouldn't ask you to drink, unfortunately not."

Li Shuang said, "It will take time."

Zheng Jiaqi said: "Zhang Li, don't take one bite at a time. I'll just watch half a glass. Let's drink while eating, and drink for a while."

Zhang Li said, "That's fine, half a glass."

I agreed, clinked glasses with Zhang Li, and drank half of the glass.

Then I drank with Zheng Jiaqi, the beer she drank was very bright, she drank a bottle, and waited for Li Shuang to drink half a glass.

Drinking with the three of them is still stressful, all of them can drink.

Zhang Li said: "Our family is running out of health-preserving wine. I guess there is not enough to sell for the Chinese New Year. I told Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang called the headquarters. The headquarters said it would not be delivered until after the New Year, which was a bit of a delay."

I said, "The headquarter also wanted to get stuck with our family, after all, it was quite unpleasant at the beginning."

Zhang Li said: "Our family's opening is very popular now, and it can be regarded as an advertisement for their Laohan Villa. What's the point, besides, they also make money selling health wine."

I said, "You don't know about that. If you're blocked now, you're asking Mr. Wang to give them the rest of the franchise fee quickly. There's still a shortfall of [-]."

Li Shuang said: "Boss Wang is also the same, if you give them, it's over, and it's not short of the 2 yuan, and it can be sold in a day."

"You don't know. At the beginning, there was President Yu here at the headquarters. There were many things going on every day. He looked gentle and polite like a college student. He quarreled with President Wang every day and was scolded by President Wang and ran away." Zhang Li said to Li Shuang Said: "After I left, I called me and said that if it was okay, I would be transferred to the headquarters of the villa to be his assistant. I ignored him."

"It's good to be an assistant. You can become the manager right away." Li Shuang joked.

"roll!"

"If you become an assistant, you are also an assistant to Master Tan, right, Xiao Lili—"

Zheng Jiaqi imitated Li Shuang's long-pitched voice, which made people's scalp tingle.

Zhang Li glanced at me.

"As his assistant? Hmph! Just wait—"

"Stubborn, if you don't do it, someone will do it. There are many people waiting." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"There are quite a lot of people waiting, I think you are the one waiting."

Zheng Jiaqi said: "Don't dare, we are also afraid of wearing small shoes, which will squeeze our feet." After speaking, she giggled.

After drinking a lot of wine, I sent Zhang Li home.

On the way back to her house, Zhang Li asked me: "Old Tan, you said, you don't look very good, so why do I like you?"

I said, "Don't you like me, be flattered."

"Are we two iron men?"

"Yes."

"Do you like me?"

"If you like it, if you don't like it, I will send you home."

"Then why do you think we can't be together?"

"If you like it, you have to be together. Isn't it good not to be together." I said.

"That's right, let's do this first, anyway, you just got married."

I was confused by what she said.
