The Pentium Era - South to North

The old master saw Zhang Chen and Zhao Zhigang and came over. Zhang Chen asked him: "Master Fu, how do you feel now?"

Lao Fu said: "At the beginning, people in the cafeteria couldn't wrap their heads around it. They thought that this would actually make the working hours longer. But now it's no problem. It used to be that when we were eating, it felt like a war was going on outside, and it was like a war inside. We are fighting, and now you see, everyone feels that it is easier than before, and they would definitely not be willing to change it back."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, that's good. It seems like everyone has to adapt to something new. Once they get used to it, it'll be fine.

"Boss, I'll make whatever you want to eat for you. Now the stoves inside are free." Old Fu said.

Zhang Chen originally wanted to have sliced ​​green pepper meat, but when he thought of something, he said no, I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. By the way, old man, you said the stove is free, so I have an idea.

"What do you think?" Lao Fu asked.

"Aren't we all fed now? If there is room for the stove, can we do stir-fry in your canteen? For stir-fry, the workers will pay for it themselves. In this way, even if he is greedy, he can order a few stir-fries a month for a change of taste. , your canteen has also increased its income, so you can give more bonuses."

As Zhang Chen said, Zhao Zhigang and Lao Fu's eyes lit up. Lao Fu said, yes, you can try this. The workers in our factory have high incomes. They themselves often go to restaurants on the street to order food. There are stir-fried dishes in this canteen, and there will definitely be more people ordering them.

"Then it also depends on your taste, which is better than the ones on the street." Zhao Zhigang said.

"That's for sure. We can't beat them. The taste is better than theirs, and the price can be a little cheaper than theirs. They want rent, and we don't have it." The old man said, "I'll write a menu later and launch it tomorrow." .”

Zhang Chen said yes, when you launch it, I will often come to order food.

"Then can I take advantage of it?" Zhao Zhigang asked.

"If you don't give it, you can't afford it?" Zhang Chen scolded.

Zhao Zhigang and Lao Fu both laughed.

Zhang Chen didn't ask the old man to stir-fry green pepper meat slices for him. He thought of "Huijuan Restaurant". Zhang Chen kept thinking about it that night. Huijuan asked him about the demolition, but he refused to tell her. As a result, the demolition announcement was posted the next day. After coming out, Zhang Chen felt very sorry and wanted to go to her restaurant for dinner. By the way, he also asked her how the demolition was going.

When you go to "Huijuan Hotel", you may meet Accountant Ge and people from the village. However, since Liu Ligan and the others have negotiated the demolition, he is not afraid of meeting them. If he does, he will Just invite them back to express my gratitude.

After making up his mind, Zhang Chen got in the car and started it. He remembered that if Accountant Ge and the others were not there, it would be too ostentatious to park his car in front of the store, and he would attract them over.

Zhang Chen got out of the car, asked Zhao Zhigang to borrow a bicycle, and rode his bicycle over.

Zhang Chen felt strange before he reached the door of the store. At six o'clock, it was already getting a little dark. The light box at the door of "Huijuan Hotel" was not turned on, and the light inside the door was also dim. Zhang Chen walked to the door and saw the inside of the store. Only one of the four fluorescent lamps was on, and the kitchen was also dark. Zhang Chen was surprised when he heard someone ask:

"How did you come?"

Zhang Chen turned around and saw Huijuan sitting at the counter. Zhang Chen said, "I want to come for dinner. Why, your place is closed?"

Huijuan said coldly: "We are open for business, can you wait?"

"How long?"

"Wait until I go to the market to buy groceries and come back."

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen this restaurant wait for customers to come to the door before buying food."

"There is no way, there is no business, we can't afford to waste it." Huijuan still said coldly.

Zhang Chen thought to himself, you are being honest. Zhang Chen said, "I am just the customer and the business."

"Okay, can you wait until I come back from shopping for groceries?"

Zhang Chen showed interest and said yes, I'll wait.

"Let me make it clear that the first-class chef is no longer here. I will do the cooking after you buy it. Don't dislike it." Huijuan looked at Zhang Chen and said.

"That's great. That first-level chef was originally a fake and the food tasted terrible. I was just embarrassed to say last time that I will eat your cooking today." Zhang Chen said.

Huijuan then laughed and said yes, what do you want to eat?

"Whatever, whatever you do, I'll eat."

Huijuan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll cook local dishes from our hometown."

Zhang Chen said yes, I just want to eat local vegetables.

Huijuan walked out of the counter and said to Zhang Chen, "Then help me look after the store."

Zhang Chen laughed: "You are such a powerful boss lady. Not only do you want customers to wait for you to go to the market to buy vegetables, but you also want customers to help you look after the store?"

Huijuan also smiled: "I don't care if you like to eat it or not. If you don't eat it, I won't buy it."

"Eat, eat." Zhang Chen shouted, "Go quickly."

Huijuan walked out, Zhang Chen shook his head, and walked around the store alone. The more he looked at it, the stranger it became. He saw that the water tank in the kitchen was not only empty, but there was no water stain in it. It had obviously been there for a long time. After using it, he opened the refrigerator again. When the door was opened, even the light was not on. Zhang Chen looked to the side and found that the power plug was unplugged.

There was no air conditioning in the refrigerator at all. It had obviously not been used for a long time.

Then he turned to the private room and took a look. It was clean inside. Zhang Chen twitched his nose and could not smell the smell of food and wine that was unique to hotel private rooms. It seemed that the private room had not been used for a long time.

What happened in this hotel?

Zhang Chen remembered that the last time he came here, there was a table for them in the booth, and there were many people eating in the restaurant outside. There was no chef in this restaurant, and the guests were still waiting for her to buy food. The guests fled. Zhang Chen understands that it's all gone, but don't even the people in Sanbao Village come to eat?

This is their designated restaurant.

Zhang Chen thought that they must not even come to dinner, so Huijuan fired the impostor.

Zhang Chen walked back to the shop outside and saw Huijuan coming back from buying vegetables at the market. Huijuan walked in carrying several vest bags. She asked:

"Is the bicycle at the door yours?"

Zhang Chen said yes.

Huijuan asked curiously: "Why don't you drive today?"

Zhang Chen couldn't tell her to stop here for fear of being seen by the villagers, so he could only say: "It's a little way, but it's not as convenient as riding a bicycle."

"Bring the car in, don't let it be stolen." Huijuan said.

Zhang Chen said yes, quickly ran out and carried the bicycle in.

Huijuan said: "We have cleared it. You can eat here and use it as a parking lot."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Okay."

Huijuan held the bag in her hand and couldn't free her hands. She stretched out her foot, hooked it with her foot, and closed the store door. Zhang Chen asked: "Is it really closed?"

"It's open for business. I'm going to kill your big fish today." Huijuan said, "First of all, let me state that there is no discount today."

Zhang Chen agreed: "Whatever you want to do, just do it. You don't always have to make a statement."

Huijuan snorted.

Zhang Chen followed Huijuan into the kitchen and asked, "Do you want to help?"

"No, you helped me, I would be embarrassed if I didn't give you a discount." Huijuan shook her head.

Zhang Chen laughed and said, "Is it okay if I watch from the side?"

Huijuan said yes.

Zhang Chen stood there and watched. He found that Huijuan's hands and feet were very nimble and her work was very organized. She first cleaned a native chicken, put it in the pressure cooker, and then put a piece of tofu into the casserole. After stewing, she started washing the vegetables and cutting the meat. After washing the vegetables and cutting the meat, the chicken was almost ready. She poured the chicken into the casserole.

Now, there were two casseroles on the gas stove, one stewed with tofu and the other stewed chicken. She took a piece of ginger and flattened it, put it into the chicken, and added a little salt to taste the saltiness.

Shred the ham and dried chilies and throw them into the tofu.

Then he started to clean the fish head, cut the ginger, onion and garlic, then turned on the stove, sat on a casserole, and put the fish head into the casserole.

Finally, fry the meat slices in an oil pan until the skin is a little charred, then take the pot away, put a casserole on it, pour the meat in, and pour the whole green vegetables in.

Huijuan pointed at each one with her finger and told Zhang Chen that today they are all in claypot, local chicken claypot, tofu claypot, fish head claypot and green vegetables claypot, which will fill you to death.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'm really hungry."

"It's quick. You can eat it in ten minutes." Huijuan said, "I'll eat it in the private room later. The private room will be warmer."

Zhang Chen said yes, but there is so much, I can’t finish it by myself, so you can eat it with me.

"Okay, but there's still no discount." Huijuan said, "I'm short of money."

"Okay, nothing is discounted." Zhang Chen said, "You can set the price later."

"That's great. If you don't eat, you won't get it for free. Then I'll warm up some wine." Huijuan said.

Zhang Chen said yes.

Huijuan took two bottles of Guyue Longshan rice wine. Zhang Chen asked, how is your drinking capacity?

"Actually it's not bad." Huijuan said.

"Those two bottles are not enough." Zhang Chen said.

"Great, then I sold two more bottles of wine."

Huijuan said, taking two more bottles of wine, pouring four bottles of wine into an aluminum kettle, and cutting shredded ginger into it. She pointed to the vegetable pot and said, "There is no stove. Wait for this, we will do it first." Okay, put it here to stew.

Zhang Chen said yes.

The two of them stood there, four casseroles were steaming, and bursts of tempting fragrance kept coming. Zhang Chen sighed and said, "It smells so good, it tastes delicious when you smell it."

Huijuan looked at him and smiled: "Are you very hungry?"

"A little bit, but the fragrance is really fragrant." Zhang Chen said.

"Let me make it clear first that if it doesn't taste good later, don't tell me. This is my first time cooking for guests." Huijuan said.

Zhang Chen looked at her and said, "Again?"

Huijuan nodded: "I don't want to declare that I am afraid."

Both men laughed.

Zhang Chen felt that it might not be a good idea to ask this question, but he couldn't help it and asked anyway: "Those people in the village don't come here to eat now?"

"Yes, I won't come." Huijuan said calmly.

"Why?" Zhang Chen continued to ask.

"They like to drink flower wine, but I can't afford it." Huijuan said lightly, "Or to be more precise, they think I don't spend enough."

Zhang Chen understood.
