Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Xiao Weiguo shrugged his shoulders. He really had no idea what to do with these married women, who were all talkative and could not keep quiet.

"Manager, it's a good thing that you're here. Would you like to try our latest dish?"

Lao Wang has put a lot of effort into researching new dishes, because Xiao Weiguo requires their kitchen to come up with at least two or three new dishes every month, and the kitchen has been paralyzed by the pressure.

However, after getting approval, their bonus income is very substantial, and their monthly salary increases rapidly. Who can not work hard for such a good thing!

Li Sanduo couldn't help but boast, "General Manager, my two dishes were carefully prepared by my chef after three nights. Can you try them and give me some suggestions?"

Li Sanduo looks silly. When he first arrived at the restaurant, he was often bullied by people in the kitchen.

Now that he had gotten to know everyone well, he also understood Xiao Weiguo's temper and even dared to joke with him.

Chef Wang went up and stomped his foot, "How can you talk to the general manager like that? Be serious!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Wang! Not really! Sanduo really treats me as his brother, that's why he dares to talk like that. It's okay, I like it this way, we can be open with each other, it's not outrageous!"

Li Sanduo scratched his head in embarrassment, glancing at Lao Wang repeatedly, fearing that he would get into trouble and be scolded.

But since Xiao Weiguo said so, Lao Wang didn't say anything. He just hinted to Li Sanduo to get back to work and stop arguing about this.

"General Manager, are you free? How about sitting down and tasting it later?"

"Yeah! That's great! You guys take your time, good food is never too late. I have something to do today!"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo sat down at the only seat in the kitchen, the chef's seat.

Quietly watching Chef Wang and Li Sanduo cooking, when it comes to developing new dishes, looking at the entire Qianmen building, only Xiao Weiguo and Lou Xiao'e dare to do so!

One is the new idea introduced from the south, and the other is the new approach of later generations.

The two of them happen to be rivals, so isn't this a head-on collision?

Although the diners have become picky eaters, the business of these two restaurants is still the best.

Once you're used to their flavor, you'll be looking forward to new ideas and dishes so you can always go there for something new.

This time, Lao Wang also put in a lot of effort, using all kinds of methods, whether it was cooking, stir-frying, or stewing and making soup.

If it is to give diners a fresh experience, then it is definitely enough.

In order to cope with the competition, I also had to do it by hand.

However, the mechanism of this competition and how many dishes need to be cooked on the spot are still unknown. In theory, these preparations are sufficient.

But for some reason, Xiao Weiguo always felt that something was missing.

I always feel that there are a pair of eyes in the dark staring at me all the time.

Just talking about the kitchen staff, in addition to Lao Wang's two capable apprentices, there are also kitchen helpers who are responsible for picking and washing vegetables. It would be very easy for these people to find out something.

Someone stole all their dishes without anyone noticing!

The more Xiao Weiguo thought about it, the more he felt that carefulness was the key. He felt like a psychopath with paranoia.

But Lou Xiao'e's experience, plus his sixth sense, told him that this matter could not be so simple.

As I was thinking, the first dish was already out of the pot.

The main dish is spicy, fresh and fragrant, with Sichuan flavor!

Xiao Weiguo took a bite and frowned slightly. Chef Wang immediately understood what he meant and immediately prepared the next dish.

It is also his best Cantonese dish, but it is a bit conservative and quite standard!

However, for the sake of each other's face, Xiao Weiguo nodded frequently while eating to show his agreement.

Although in his opinion it was just so-so, Chef Wang had definitely done his best. The reason why Xiao Weiguo felt there was little innovation was that he had tasted too many delicious dishes before coming here, so he felt that these dishes lacked any thought.

But in the eyes of others, this is definitely the best of the best.

He may not be good at making the previous Sichuan-style stir-fry, but he is definitely good at this dish.

Next, Chef Wang made another cold dish. The presentation was exquisite and the taste was refreshing, which suited Xiao Weiguo's appetite very well. Xiao Weiguo ate it all up!

Chef Wang was standing in front of him. Seeing that he had finished a plate of cold dishes, he gently took off his hat and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xiao Weiguo is not so strict about the dishes on weekdays, this time he is preparing to participate in a competition after all. Lao Wang has put a lot of effort into it and even turned several hairs white.

Seeing Xiao Weiguo in such a good state, Lao Wang should be satisfied, and he thought he could finally take a break.

"Well, not bad, not bad. This jellyfish salad is really good. It tastes cool and chewy! You have worked hard during this period. This month's bonus will be doubled!"

"Double?"

"Really boss?"

Li Sanduo is usually a ruthless person who doesn't talk much. He uses his ruthlessness on the chopping board and the stove.

But I still feel itchy when it comes to the bonus.

"I understand that you are really working hard, so I will give you a day off today. Go home and rest early, and come back early tomorrow to help your chef prepare the dishes!"

Ok?

Not only did the bonus double, but the promotion also increased?

Li Sanduo bared his teeth and looked at Lao Wang happily, and Lao Wang nodded happily.

"Okay, then I'll leave first?"

Xiao Weiguo and Lao Wang nodded in agreement, but Li Sanduo kept looking back at the two of them, and only left after he was sure.

At this time, there were only two people left in the room. Lao Wang hummed a little tune while cleaning up the mess, but Xiao Weiguo's eyes were meaningful...

"Old Wang, let me tell you something... This is something only God, the earth, you and I know!"

After hearing this, Lao Wang finally understood why he wanted Li Sanduo to leave first. It turned out there was a secret!

In the entire restaurant, the person Xiao Weiguo trusts the most is Lao Wang, the soul of the restaurant.

Without his hard work day and night, there would be no restaurant as prosperous as it is today.

"Silly Zhu, why don't you go home so late? Why are you studying so late at night?"

Late at night, Lou Xiao'e went home after getting drunk upstairs, only to find that the kitchen light was still on.

When I walked in, I saw that it was Shazhu reading a book!

Lou Xiao'e was extremely surprised. This silly Zhu usually spoke incoherently, but now he actually liked to watch and study?
