The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 421 Do You Like It?

Hao Nansheng and Xiaofeng didn't talk for too long. Xiaofeng needed to rest just after the operation, and Hao Nansheng also needed to go to the car dealership.

Xiaofeng thanked Hao Nansheng from the bottom of her heart. There is no need to say much about this kind of gratitude. To be honest, no one would be grateful to the person who saved him, unless he was a bastard with no conscience.

Xiaofeng is not.

But she is not a fool, she is a smart woman who can see what Hao Nansheng is doing for her.At first she thought that Hao Nansheng was looking at Lao Tan's face, but later she saw that he was not.

She saw the shadow of Han Jun in Hao Nansheng.

This puzzled her, and made it difficult for her to refuse.

What I don't understand is that Hao Nansheng is the second generation of officials, and has his own business, and there is no shortage of women. How could he care about himself who is eight years older than him?Not only can't explain it, but it can't be explained.

What's hard to refuse is that someone finds an expert to see you, and then treats you nicely. You can't be cold.

This made her have to think back to some intersections with Hao Nansheng in the past month, and wanted to give herself some arguments.

The first thing that comes to my mind is the night when I drank with Hao Nansheng, Wei Jianshe, and Lao Tan. I was really happy that day. After drinking, Hao Nansheng took the initiative to take her by taxi. Lobster to go.

She thought Hao Nansheng was talking politely, so she replied yes, another day.

A week later, Hao Nansheng came to pick her up before get off work and said to eat crayfish.She was taken aback for a moment, then realized that there was indeed such a thing, and went together.

The place where you eat crayfish is a food stall. From a distance, there are tables and people, very lively.As soon as they sat down, they saw Liu Yang and Qin Haixiao, and the two of them also saw them, and Liu Yang flew over like a little swallow.

The four of them ordered two flavors of spicy and garlic crayfish, and also ordered duck blood vermicelli.Xiaofeng wants to eat Malatang, but unfortunately there is no chicken rack.Finally ordered a few skewers.

The four of them ate happily and chatted happily, and walked in twos when they left.

Hao Nansheng sent Xiaofeng to the residence, and he seemed to want to say something, so he opened his mouth and only said good night, which was quite embarrassing.

Then he was busy with the opening of the two stores. During this period, Hao Nansheng did not come to the store. He asked someone to deliver a flower basket when he opened. Before he arrived, he called and said that he would go to another place to discuss business and would come back after the National Day.

Then, ten days ago, Hao Nansheng came to the store and said that he had gone to Russia to do a Mercedes-Benz business with Lao Maozi.He brought back a fur hat for Lao Tan and a fur scarf for Xiaofeng.

Hao Nansheng was in a good mood that day, drank a lot of wine, and said to Xiaofeng nonchalantly when he left: "Sister Feng, you are so kind."

Recalling this, Xiaofeng smiled, and felt that on the surface, Hao Nansheng still treated him the same as before, which was normal, did not express anything, did not imply anything, it was just an ordinary friendship.

But in terms of feeling, I can understand what he means to me, which is definitely the kind I like, exactly the same as Han Jun back then.This is a woman's intuition, and sometimes a woman's intuition can rival the military radar.

Xiaofeng is a person who is unwilling to owe favors. She would rather Hao Nansheng care about her illness only because of Lao Tan's face, so that she can return the favor when she recovers.If Hao Nansheng did it out of liking for him, it would be hard to repay the favor.

Does he really like himself?
Xiaofeng thought it was impossible.

I just got in touch with him recently, I was only acquainted with him before, and I am not young and beautiful, how could it be possible.

It's true that I'm nice to people, but it doesn't mean I like them.Hao Nansheng is just a big boy, just like Han Jun.

She was a little tired from thinking about it, and it happened that the nurse came to change the dressing and take her temperature, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

Lao Tan became the interim general manager.Originally, Zhou Xiaomei was going to come over. There is something going on at the headquarters in the past two days, so it will take a few more days.

At the end of the day, Lao Tan felt very tired, his waist was sore and his legs hurt.

Qin Haixiao personally cooks for him his favorite "Stewed Beef and Tofu with Wild Pepper and Sauerkraut". To be honest, this dish is also Lao Tan's favorite. Few others eat it, and they all talk about his eccentricity behind his back.

There is no way, he likes the spicy taste of wild salamander and the sourness of sauerkraut. Tofu is also his favorite.This dish tastes delicious with big chopped green onions. It is hot and sour, appetizing, salty and fresh, and goes with rice and wine.

He didn't eat in the store, but packed it and took it back to his residence.

When he returned to his residence, he first found an old movie on the computer, then poured wine, and sat down comfortably while watching a movie while drinking. This was a habit he had developed over the years.

But he didn't stop eating today. First, Liu Yang and Meng Meng came. They had nothing important to do. They asked about Xiaofeng's situation, talked about some things in the store, and left.

Then there was Qin Haixiao, and Old Tan wondered why he didn't come with Liu Yang. He said that he had discussed the culinary competition with the four head chefs in the store, so he didn't come together.

This culinary competition stipulates so.There are five districts in the provincial capital, Suzhou, Hohhot, Beijing, and Changsha. Each district selects four contestants, including two hot dish masters, one cold dish master, and one dumpling worker.

There are three dishes for hot dishes and cold dishes, one is a prescribed dish, one is a local flavor, and one is an innovative dish.

Dumpling workers are more concerned with kneading noodles, adding ingredients, rolling skins, and wrapping than making stuffing, because the dumpling stuffing is uniform.

The headquarters stipulates that the contestants in each district can be recommended by the collective, or they can be selected by hand gestures. They decide how to do it themselves, and the headquarters does not participate in the opinions.

The provincial capital and Hohhot are selected with live ammunition, while Beijing and Suzhou are recommended collectively.Changsha was busy opening two stores last month, so it has not been decided yet.Seeing that there was still one month left before the start of the competition, Qin Haixiao called the four chief chefs together to discuss what to do. Unexpectedly, two chief chefs said recommendation, and two chief chefs said selection.

"What's your opinion?" Old Tan asked.

"I advocate recommendation." Qin Haixiao said.

"Then why haven't you settled down?"

"It was mainly Chef Wang from the old shop who objected—in fact, he was not against the recommendation, but mainly against me."

"Why are you against you?" Old Tan asked.

"I didn't become the head chef, I have some opinions in my heart." Qin Haixiao said.

"Oh——" Lao Tan nodded, thought for a while and said, "I did consider him when I was choosing the head chef, but after a comprehensive consideration, he was not good enough to be the head chef.

I chose you not because you have anything to do with it, but mainly because I did it right. "

Qin Haixiao showed a somewhat smug smile.

Lao Tan went on to say: "It's normal for him to have opinions in his heart when he didn't become a chef. It's normal for everyone to be unbalanced. It depends on how you deal with it."

"How do you think I can handle it well, boss?" Qin Haixiao asked.

Lao Tan said: "How to deal with it is your business, think on your own. I have two suggestions for you. First, no matter what he is, he is now your soldier and is under your control. Disobedience is your business. Second, You must participate in the culinary competition, this is a task, and you must complete it."

Qin Haixiao understood a little bit, but not completely.

"Talking about the tsunami, do you know what management is?" Old Tan asked.

"Managing directors."

"Hehe, it's right and wrong. It's right by definition. Management means managing people and managing people. But it's not true in practice. It's not about managing people and managing people. It's about communication. Only when communication is in place can we do it well, otherwise it's all useless. Am I right?"

Qin Haixiao nodded and said, "Yes."

"You called four head chefs together for a meeting today to discuss the candidates for the culinary competition. In fact, it is communication. It's just that you haven't prepared well before the communication, so you can't proceed when there are differences and disagreements. Yes. I had a meeting that didn’t get a result, and I was so angry at myself if I didn’t talk about it.”

"Yes—" Qin Haixiao said dejectedly.
