Food starts with noodles

"Old Yao, are you doing well? There will be an event in my store tomorrow, remember to come and join us... Hey, who is this handsome guy? He looks very handsome, just like a celebrity."

Yao Meixiang has already accepted Xu Zhuo as godson. Hearing this person's question, she immediately boasted, "This is my godson. His name is Xu Zhuo. He is not as handsome as a celebrity."

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately looked Xu Zhuo up and down: "Old Yao is very lucky, this godson looks like a wealthy man."

Yao Meixiang said: "You know the face of a fart, but you guessed it right, my godson is indeed a rich man."

"He is the grandson of Old Wei's master, and he has a close relationship with our family. What activities are you doing in your store tomorrow? I'll take my godson to try it."

After finishing speaking, she said to Xu Zhuo, "Xu Zhuo, call him Uncle Zhang. He and your godfather are good friends, but his cooking skills are incomparable to your godfather's, so he's just opened a small restaurant..."

This introduction was quite blunt, making this Uncle Zhang dumbfounded.

"Old Yao, how old are you, and your mouth is still so poisonous, no wonder old Wei left you."

"Tomorrow, the dishes in my shop are [-]% off, the beer is free, and the staple food is free. Lao Yao, don't forget to take your godson to eat, let your godson taste my cooking."

When Yao Meixiang heard this, she immediately became curious: "How can you be so generous, you old pickpocket? Dishes are [-]% off, beer is free for staple food, you old bastard got kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Uncle Zhang waved his hand: "My tortoise has received a notice from a key university. I am very happy. Of course I want to celebrate with my customers..."

Speaking of this, his tone suddenly stagnated, and he laughed dryly: "Well, I still have something to do in the store, let's not talk about it, remember to go to the store tomorrow, I treat you."

After speaking, he paid the money, carried the kimchi jar into the car, and rode away.

Xu Zhuo was very curious about his reaction: "Mother, what happened to this Uncle Zhang?"

Yao Meixiang smiled: "It's nothing. When he mentioned his children, he thought that I have no children, so he quickly stopped the topic, for fear of bringing up my sadness."

Although she had a smile on her face when she spoke, the sadness between her brows and eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

Xu Zhuo didn't know what to say right now.

On the contrary, Yu Keke ran out of the house in a hurry, put her arms around Yao Meixiang and said, "Godmother, you still have us, from now on I will be your daughter, and the handsome boss will be your son... Eh, no, so me and the handsome boss are like We have become brothers and sisters... no, no, it can't be like this..."

The girl was muttering to herself, and Yao Meixiang touched her head: "Little girl, I still can't see what you're thinking? Xu Zhuo is my godson, and you must be my godson-in-law."

Just as Xu Zhuo was about to tell Yao Meixiang not to mess with the mandarin ducks, Yao Meixiang narrowed her eyes: "What are you looking at? Your son picked up a daughter-in-law for nothing, why are you dissatisfied?"

Boss Xu looked helpless.

Well, someone backed up this girl again.

Boss Xu chose to change the subject.

"Godmother, how is the restaurant opened by Uncle Zhang? Is it a fly tavern?"

Yao Meixiang shook her head: "No, it's a medium-sized restaurant. Although the old man's craftsmanship is average, he is hardworking and the food is affordable, so there are quite a few regular customers in the restaurant."

"However, although the craftsmanship is average, after so many years of cooking, there are still a few special dishes."

"His steamed pork and salty roasted white are excellent. If you want to learn steamed products, you can learn from him. Old Wei used to ask him to discuss with him."

"But everything else is so-so, so the reputation of the restaurant has always been mediocre. Those who know how to order food will eat well, and those who can't order food will return disappointed."

Xu Zhuo was still thinking about how to order steamed dishes in the store, but he didn't expect to meet a master of it when he came to Rongcheng.

If he hadn't just learned kimchi today, he would even plan to steal from Uncle Zhang's back kitchen tomorrow.

But it doesn't matter, half a month later, you can still learn this skill.

Before the new store opens, it is necessary to develop more dishes, so as not to be dissatisfied with even a recipe in the store.

Taking advantage of the time in Rongcheng, learn more about the dishes, and then let the customers in the store feel the charm of the food.

While thinking wildly, Yao Meixiang suddenly asked: "Where is your companion who went to pick up people at the high-speed rail station? Why hasn't he come here yet?"

Xu Zhuo was also very curious, there will be no accidents with this product, right?

He was holding the mobile phone, and was about to call Li Hao to ask questions, but Li Hao called.

"Boss Xu, tell Panpan for me. I really didn't ask anyone for a WeChat ID last night. Panpan doesn't believe it now, and keeps chasing me..."

Chapter 166 Shanghebang Sichuan Cuisine

Naturally, Sun Panpan wasn't really beating Li Hao, but when Li Hao honestly told how Yu Keke invited her yesterday, he was offended by Li Hao's words.

Last night, she was busy booking tickets, packing her luggage, and getting angry, so she almost didn't sleep all night.

In the end, in order for Sun Panpan to come over, Li Hao neither explained to her nor contacted her, so he just left Sun Panpan alone all night.

So when I saw Li Hao today, I was very angry.

He pinched him a few times and didn't say anything, and checked Li Hao's WeChat and QQ chat records for reasons of anger.

Of course, Li Hao couldn't be blamed for this.

He was so busy eating the snacks he brought back last night that he completely forgot that Sun Panpan was in a state of anger.

After eating and drinking enough, he had a good night's sleep, and was called up by Xu Zhuo in the morning, and he was not idle all the time, only remembering that Sun Panpan was coming today.

As for the reason for coming, he forgot.

This foodie, as long as there is food, he can forget everything.

Xu Zhuo couldn't help being happy when he heard his loud voice calling for help: "Just let her hit it twice, you two come back quickly and discuss what to eat tonight."

As soon as he talked about eating, Li Hao forgot about the pain in his body.

He didn't hide anymore, and let Sun Panpan hit him a few times, and then brought Sun Panpan to Yao Meixiang's house.

"You go and return the hotel rooms. It's not that there is no room at home. Several rooms are empty. I'll clean it up for you. I'll move here tonight, just to be my companion."

When Sun Panpan came, Yao Meixiang's house became even more lively.

She likes photography, and now she is holding a SLR and is constantly shooting at the pots and pans in the yard.

Yu Keke, like a tour guide, kept explaining kimchi-related knowledge to her.

Of course, most of this knowledge is her nonsense.

When Xu Zhuo was learning kimchi from Yao Meixiang just now, this girl didn't pay attention at all.

Xu Zhuo pulled Yu Keke and rubbed her head: "Don't talk nonsense, it's like you know kimchi very well."

Yu Keke opened his hand: "It's okay if you don't know how to make pickles, as long as I know how to make you."

Well, I was actually molested by this girl.

Boss Xu entered the house and helped Yao Meixiang clean up. Yu Keke and Sun Panpan looked at his deflated expression and giggled.

"Coco, I found that although the handsome boss keeps rejecting you, he seems to like the feeling of having fun in it. Do you like this too?"

"I don't like it or not, as long as he likes it, I like it very much."

Sun Panpan gave her a blank look: "Oh, lick the dog!"

When Yu Keke said that in the past, the girl would immediately refute, proving that she was not a dog licker.

But today, perhaps because of happiness, or because Yao Meixiang supported her, she actually agreed with this word.

"What's the matter with licking the dog? You can have everything you want until the end, huh!"

After finishing speaking, the girl ran into the room excitedly, and began to show her presence in front of Xu Zhuo again.

Li Hao took a sip of Coke and said with emotion: "As the saying goes, staying up late makes people bald, and love makes people thick-skinned. This is true."

Sun Panpan continued to pat the kimchi jar in the yard: "Rich woman Yu is not thick-skinned now, she has been upgraded to shameless... But the handsome boss seems to like her a lot."

"These two people are cutting vegetables with a machete against a ladle, so match up!"

In the evening, Yao Meixiang decided to take them out to eat good food in order to clean up Sun Panpan and celebrate her having a godson.

I just ate hot pot at noon, so I have to change the taste at night.

Yao Meixiang took them to find a Sichuan restaurant where talents from Rongcheng came.

This kind of Sichuan cuisine restaurant has a small storefront, and the signboard is quite old. It doesn't even have a menu, but the taste is very authentic.

"Boss, twice-cooked pork, spicy diced rabbit, mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, shredded fish-flavored pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, white meat with garlic paste, dry-stir-fried fat sausage... Today, labor and management bring my godson to eat, so make it better. "

She ordered food skillfully, then found an empty table and took the young people to sit down.

Drinks and everything are in the side freezer, you can take what you want to drink.

There are no waiters outside, you can report what you want to order, and get what you want to drink.

This style is a bit like a four-sided pavilion.

However, the dishes here cannot be prepared by Sifang Restaurant.

At least at this stage, Boss Xu is still a little helpless with these stir-fries.

Although it can barely be made, the taste... I guess he can't even eat it himself.

The food was served quickly, and Yao Meixiang pointed to the rice cooker on the counter and said, "The rice is in there. If you eat, you can serve it yourself. You can eat as much as you want. There is no limit to the amount of rice here."

This is very much in line with Li Hao's wishes.

There is no need for a bowl for this product, so I asked the shop owner directly for a small pot, filled a pot full of rice, and started eating.

The few dishes that Yao Meixiang ordered are basically home-cooked dishes in Sichuan cuisine. They belong to the dishes that anyone can cook, but it is difficult to make them well.

"The chef in this restaurant cooks the most authentic Sichuan cuisine. In the past, Lao Wei came here specifically to ask questions about fried twice-cooked pork. Sichuan cuisine is divided into several genres."

"Shanghebang, where Rongcheng is located, pays attention to fine workmanship, mild taste, and rarely uses chili."

"So don't think of the spicy taste when you mention Sichuan cuisine. The high-end dishes in Sichuan cuisine don't use chili."

While eating, Yao Meixiang taught Xu Zhuo a lesson.

Xu Zhuo took a bite of the twice-cooked pork with chopsticks and was immediately surprised.

When I first entered this restaurant, I just felt that it was just average, and I didn't have much hope for the food.

As a result, he was slapped in the face with a piece of twice-cooked pork.

This time, the cooking of the pot meat was as good as that of Wei Junming.

Both Xu Zhuo and Li Hao have eaten twice-cooked pork made by Wei Junming, and the taste is really unforgettable. No matter the taste or color, they are all top quality.

The meat slices trembled when they were clamped, which made people greedy.

Unexpectedly, this humble shop actually has the level of cooking masters of Sichuan cuisine.

It was nothing short of a surprise!

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, Li Hao stuffed the vegetables into his mouth, and then pulled a big mouthful of rice.

"It's so delicious. I thought I wouldn't be able to eat the dishes made by Master Wei here, but I didn't expect that this time the pot meat is as good as Master Wei's!"

He likes to eat home-cooked food very much, especially this kind of food, he just loves it so much.

Xu Zhuo was not very hungry, so he put down his chopsticks after two mouthfuls.

"Godmother, the boss here is so skilled, why don't you expand the store a little? If this is turned into a high-end restaurant, the business will be better, right?"

Yao Meixiang shook her head: "A few years ago, he partnered with others to open several big restaurants, but they broke up in less than three months, and opened this restaurant again."

"A big hotel can not only be supported by good craftsmanship, but also profit, service, management, and operation must be considered comprehensively. If there are partners, the distribution of benefits must also be considered."

"The doorway here is very complicated, otherwise it would be great for those chefs to open their own restaurants, why would they work for others?"

Chapter 167 Laotan Sauerkraut Noodles

When Wei Junming opened a restaurant here, he was actually only in charge of the back kitchen, and Yao Meixiang was in charge of all other aspects.

So now when it comes to opening a restaurant, she is more experienced.

When opening a small restaurant, customers have relatively simple requirements, as long as they are delicious, nothing else matters, and even the price is not considered too much.

But if you open a big restaurant, the customer requirements will be high.

Whether it is service, environment, or tableware, tables and chairs, customers will have expectations. If the hotel does not meet customers' expectations in all aspects, then customers will easily feel disappointed.

Once customers are disappointed, they will reduce the frequency of consumption, or simply stop coming to eat.
