Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Just as Old Master Liu was cursing Chen Xueru for being unethical and bullying an old man like him, in Fengdeng Tower not far away, Shopkeeper Liu walked towards the kitchen with his hands in his pockets, smiling.

Leaning against the door frame of the back kitchen, Shopkeeper Li glanced around and saw Chef Liang waving a spatula in front of the stove.

"Hey, boss, why are you in the kitchen?" Sha Zhu, who was cutting side dishes, noticed Manager Liu and immediately asked with a smile.

It was the busy time at Fengdeng Tower. As a new chef, Sha Zhu could only wait until there were fewer customers before he had the chance to fry a few pots.

Shopkeeper Liu said nothing, but just nodded lightly.

Hearing the noise, Master Liang turned his head and took a look, then said unhappily, "Manager Liu, why are you in our kitchen when you're not busy in the front?"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and then reminded him, "Master Liang, you are a forgetful person. Have you forgotten what we talked about yesterday?"

What did you say yesterday?

Master Liang was flipping the spoon quickly while recalling what he said yesterday.

After the dish was cooked, Chef Liang wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck and said, "I'm busy right now. Why don't you go out and take a look?"

Manager Liu's smile remained, but his tone was somewhat unhappy: "Look at what you said. I was the one who went there yesterday, so we should go together today."

"If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm busy here."

Because of what happened yesterday, Master Liang was not willing to pay attention to Manager Liu. He felt that the dozen or so guests who came yesterday were just paid agents of other restaurants.

The purpose was to destroy their Fengdeng Building.

Although Manager Liu is good at accounting and management, he still doesn't know much about the open and secret struggles between restaurants.

So Master Liang didn’t take the stir-fry stall they were talking about seriously at all.

What kind of stir-fry stall can taste better than Fengdenglou?

Isn't this nonsense!

Shopkeeper Liu frowned slightly. The kitchen was indeed busy at the moment, but there were also many chefs in the kitchen of Fengdeng Building. He wanted to take Master Liang with him to check out the situation. If there really was that stall, he would let Master Liang test his skills.

It will only delay us for about ten minutes and will not affect the serving of dishes in the restaurant.

"Master Liang, how long will you be busy? If you can't do it, I'll wait for you for a while."

"It's too early, no order yet!" Master Liang said without turning his head.

Got it!

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu was speechless. At the same time, he also realized that Master Liang didn't take what happened yesterday seriously at all.

"Okay, I'll go take a look myself!"

After saying that, he left the kitchen with a cold face.

After Shopkeeper Liu left, Master Liang couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, those people were clearly looking for trouble yesterday, but this Liu took it so seriously."

"What kind of crap stir-fry stall can taste better than our Fengdeng Building? I think he is just trying to find fault and deduct money from our kitchen staff!"

Yesterday's tea and peanuts were all charged to the kitchen staff.

Although the deduction is not much money, an ant's leg is still meat, and it would be painful to deduct a penny.

When the people in the kitchen heard this, they all agreed: "That's right, I think Manager Liu is just making a fuss and deliberately criticizing our kitchen staff."

"That's right, this guy relies on his status as our boss's elder brother to try to suppress our kitchen staff. This is too much!"

"He can use a crappy stir-fry stall as an excuse. It's so infuriating."

Stir-fried vegetable stall? ?

Sha Zhu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned when he heard this.

Could it be that the stir-fry stall that Shopkeeper Liu took the opportunity to cause trouble was Chen Jun’s stall?

Damn, he is really taking the opportunity to find trouble!

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but join the battle and started cursing with them.

On the other side, Shopkeeper Liu walked to the front hall, arranged for someone to watch the front desk for a while, and then went out for a stroll with his hands behind his back.

Based on his understanding of this street, the locations of the stalls are not fixed.

Even the stalls on this street were set up spontaneously by these vendors, and the street office did not manage them.

So that stall might have been here yesterday, but it might be moved to another location tomorrow.

After leaving Fengdeng Tower, Shopkeeper Liu took a casual look around and found that the stalls were already crowded with people.

With the pedestrians coming and going, East Street is very lively at this time.

Shopkeeper Liu slowly walked over to the location where the stall appeared yesterday.

There are two people in one stall, and the main dishes are stir-fried liver and kidney and twice-cooked pork.

There is too little information available. There are at least 18 or 20 stir-fried food stalls on this street, so it is difficult to find one at first glance.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shopkeeper Liu noticed that there was indeed a small stall selling stir-fried dishes at the same location as yesterday.

Shopkeeper Liu was delighted and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

But just when he was about to reach the stall, his steps suddenly stopped.

Hey!

He saw an acquaintance.

To be precise, it was an apprentice who was kicked out of Fengdeng Building by him.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't even remember Chen Jun's name. He only remembered that this apprentice's family was very poor, his mother was sick, and he often took leave.

When I met him in the store, he didn't greet me enthusiastically. He was a taciturn person and had a low presence in Fengdeng Building.

Next to Chen Jun stood a thin girl, about eleven or twelve years old.

I glanced at the cardboard in front of the stall, and saw the words crucian carp with tofu, stir-fried pork intestines, stir-fried liver and kidneys, twice-cooked pork, and braised meat.

Ok?

He also has stir-fried liver and kidney and twice-cooked pork.

Shopkeeper Liu scratched his chin subconsciously, feeling that this matter was strange.

An apprentice who was sent from the kitchen to the front hall to do odd jobs, had only practiced cutting vegetables and had never even been to the stove. Needless to say, his cooking skills were very poor.

But it must be said that this apprentice was quite smart. Knowing that his cooking skills were terrible, he started to imitate others.

He will cook the dishes for whichever stir-fry stall has the best business.

Moreover, the cardboard in front of the stall looked new, which made Manager Liu even more convinced.

Humph, it was indeed right to kick him out of Fengdeng Tower.

This kind of stir-fry stall that just follows the trend has basically no repeat customers and I'm afraid it will go bankrupt within a few days.

Shaking his head secretly, Manager Liu withdrew his gaze and continued strolling on East Street.

I just walked around the area a few times and found three or four stalls selling twice-cooked pork, but none of them was the stall that the customers mentioned yesterday.

Oh, that’s really strange!

Unwilling to give up, Shopkeeper Liu turned around a few more times and finally had the answer in his mind.

That guy didn’t come yesterday!

He must have heard about yesterday's incident from someone and was worried that the people from Fengdeng Tower would cause trouble for him, so he moved his stall to another location.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If he went back like this, he would probably be laughed at by the people in the kitchen.

Others might not dare, but Master Liang definitely dares.

This guy didn't take him, the shopkeeper, seriously at all.
