I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Although Zhao Zhen gave up his plan to let Tang Xuan marry a noble girl, he did not explicitly agree to him being with Si Nan. In Zhao Zhen's words, "in case the two stinky brats get their tails off."

Sinan is fully focused on the upcoming Baiwei competition.

After more than ten days of trying dishes, he finally chose the dishes. As long as there is no problem with Wuweishe, he can decide.

The Wuwei Club is like a small yamen, with a president, a principal, and ordinary members.The rating standard is based on the reputation of the store, and on the personal ability.

Sinan had previously won the title of chef in Wushuilou, and was rewarded by the government. He got a seat as a "master" right after he joined Wuwei Club.

Among the ten principals, he is the youngest and the least experienced. When he first joined the company, he had little say. He could only listen to what the seniors said.

Since hosting the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, Sinan's status in the society has been raised a lot like a monkey jumping up to the sky, and he has a faint posture of fighting against Bai Ye.

Especially those shopkeepers who had organized the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet with Sinan, spontaneously bound together with him, with him as the head.

No, Si Nan just said, "I have agreed with Chef Jiang from 'Heyan'er Noodle Restaurant', we will partner up and take two dishes", and someone responded immediately: "One person takes one dish, two people take two dishes, no difference."

The rest also nodded.

This is to mention the rules of the Baiwei game.

The event was hosted by the Ministry of Rites, and besides Bianjing Wuwei Club, there were also several clubs in Xijing, Nanjing, and Beijing.

The Ministry of Etiquette will arrange judges to select ten excellent dishes from thousands of dishes and include them in the list of "palace dishes". They will also combine the total points of each society to select a winning group.

In order to increase the chances of winning, Wuwei Club stipulates that each restaurant can only have one dish in the competition, unless someone voluntarily gives up the place.

However, with such a good opportunity, everyone is eager to do all kinds of tricks, who would be willing to let it go?

I didn't think so, but there really is.

Bai Ye cupped his fists at the crowd and said, "I participated in the last session, and 'Baizhi Yufeng' was honored to be selected. This time Bai is willing to give up the spot in Bailou to give the rest of my colleagues a chance."

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their hands one after another: "Treasurer Bai, Gao Yi."

Si Nan raised his eyebrows, and clasped his fists as if following the crowd.

Wu Zixu moved closer to him, rubbed his hands secretly and said: "Don't be fooled by him, I don't believe he is really that kind, it's probably predicted that Bailou has no chance of winning this time, it's better to let the food out to buy people's hearts .”

Si Nan laughed, "Why are you so sure?"

Wu Zixu snorted and said: "My brother said, it's nothing to laugh at, it's either a ruffian or a thief."

Sinan's smile froze.

Brother Wu... OK!

In the end, Bai Ye's spot was handed over to a restaurant with good strength, and the shopkeeper who got the benefits was obviously much closer to Bai Ye.It turned out that the shopkeeper was a "neutral faction".

Si Nan laughed secretly, Wu Zixu said that Bai Ye bought people's hearts, so he really didn't wrong him.

After the meeting was over, Wu Zixu jumped to Sinan's side like a flea, and said mysteriously, "Are you free? Come with me to the store, and I'll show you something nice."

Si Nan shook his head, "Not today—"

"It's better to hit the sun, let's do it today!" Wu Zixu pulled him, and pulled him into the car with a smile.

Si Nan had no choice but to follow him.

The store he was talking about was not Wushuilou, but a hot pot franchise store opened in Tokyo Pier.It is said that it is a franchise store, which covers an area larger than that of the main store.

Every time he came here to inspect the store, Sinan would sigh, a local snake is a local snake, such a good location, such a large customer flow, it will be sold if it is said to be sold, tsk!

Wu Zixu directly dragged Sinan to the back kitchen, and handed him a pot-bellied jar, "Look at it first, and if you think it's good, I'll tell you how it came from—don't say I eat alone, such a good thing, why don't you change it?" I won't tell anyone else!"

Si Nan opened the mouth of the jar, first smelled a pungent smell, and then saw the familiar particles, he couldn't help but startled, "Salt and pepper?"

"It's not salt. It's a new type of seasoning from the Western Regions. I don't remember what kind of strange name it is called..."

Wu Zixu said quietly: "I found out that this thing can be used as a salt agent, and it is cheaper than salt!"

Si Nan frowned, cheaper than salt?

Shouldn't.

He can be sure that what is in the jar is salt and pepper, but it is much rougher than that of later generations.Pepper salt is made by frying seasonings such as pepper and salt through several processes, and it is impossible to be cheaper than pure salt.

Sinan clamped the jar under his arm, "Don't use this thing yet, I'll take it back and ask someone to have a look, and we'll talk about it if there's no problem."

Wu Zixu raised his chin, with a look of contempt on his face, "You think I'm stupid? Don't you just want to go along? As for beating around the bush?"

Sinan laughed, "Well, I've taken a fancy to it, will you give it?"

Wu Zixu shook his head and froze, "You have to say something nice, please Brother Wu, brother Wu, just think about it."

Si Nan patted him on the head, "Please, Xiao Zhuangzhuang."

Wu Zixu gasped, "Give it to me!"

Si Nan hid, "There may be something wrong with this thing, I won't lie to you. Don't tell others, I'll ask the county king to check it out."

Even Tang Xuan moved out, so Wu Zixu had no choice but to stop, moaning: "If you let me know that you lied to me, brother will have nothing to do."

Si Nan smiled, "Good boy."

Wu Zixu: ...

I'm so angry!

Sinan carried the jar back to the main store, and put it properly in the "couple room" between him and Tang Xuan - this was vacated by the employees consciously to prevent them from being blinded.

Yu Sanniang knocked on the door and came in, whispering, "Brother Dalang, I have something to tell you."

Seeing her serious expression, Sinan realized something was wrong, "Is it convenient to talk here?"

Yu Sanniang nodded, "I guess you'll be back soon, and there are no guests in the private room next to you."

Sinan had a bad feeling, "What happened?"

Yu Sanniang took out a paper bag from her sleeve, and without opening it, Sinan smelled a familiar smell.

……

Si Nan told Tang Xuan about the matter, and Tang Xuan attached great importance to it, so he asked his followers to investigate it overnight, and made a plan with Si Nan.

Si Nan felt relieved and used it boldly.

On the other hand, Xiao Guo was keenly aware that something was wrong, and instead of reporting to Sinan, he went straight to Sanniang Yu, "Except for the owner, only Brother Shi is in charge of the back kitchen purchases. Why have you been in and out recently?"

Yu Sanniang panicked, pretending to be calm, "I can't help but go in and do a favor, don't you go over and call back from time to time?"

"Since I was promoted to foreman, I haven't been there again, and I won't go in when no one is around." Xiao Guo looked at her seriously, "Let me just say it clearly, I saw with my own eyes you and others behind you." Xiang met and took the things in his hand, does the boss know about this?"

Yu Sanniang was annoyed secretly, blaming herself for being careless, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course I know."

Xiao Guo frowned, "You are guilty."

Yu Sanniang stared, "Which eye did you see?"

Xiao Guo smiled instead, "Yes, if you are not guilty, you should look like this now--Sanniang, it is not easy for people like you and me to get to where we are today, the boss treats us well, don't be confused for a while, fudge."

"Understood, mother-in-law and mother." Yu Sanniang rolled his eyes at him and walked away.

It just so happened that a guest came, so Xiao Guo didn't say any more.

He thought that with this warning, Yu Sanniang would break the deal with the stranger.Unexpectedly, not only did it not happen, but it even got worse.Originally, that person would only appear once every other day, but now it has become once a day.

Xiao Guo didn't say anything, but quietly followed Yu Sanniang to find out what she had put in the back kitchen, and warned her again, and made it clear that he would tell Sinan next time.

In fact, if it was someone else, he would have complained to Sinan a long time ago.What's more, he and Yu Sanniang are still in competition. If Yu Sanniang can be squeezed out, he will be the third in command after Cui Shi and Liu Shi.

However, he didn't.

After all, I thought of the situation in Yu Sanniang's family and felt that it was not easy for her.

However, everything has a degree.

Since Yu Sanniang did not repent, Xiao Guo still put the interests of the hotpot restaurant first and told Sinan.

I thought Sinan would be very shocked, even disappointed, but unexpectedly he said, "I gave my permission."

This time, it was Xiao Guo who was surprised.

He hesitated for a moment, but still bravely said: "Boss, although I'm not in the back kitchen, I often hear Erdou say that the preparation of the bottom of the pot is very strict. Every ingredient is not only carefully prepared, but also the place of origin. It's so easy to change. gone?"

Seeing him fighting for reason, Sinan was secretly relieved, but he couldn't show it on the face, "Acquaintances introduced it, I think it's good, try it first, and change it if it doesn't work."

Try?

Change again?

You didn't say that before...

Xiao Guo was obviously not persuaded, but he didn't hold back any more, and went to work silently.

Si Nan looked at his back and sighed secretly.

It's not that he can't trust Xiao Guo, it's just that this matter has a lot to do with it, and if one more person knows about it, the risk will be higher. If the inner ghost finds out the details like the previous few times, the entire arrangement of the Imperial City Division for so many days will be in vain .

Even, all of them will be in danger.

Originally, this matter should have passed like this, but someone spread gossip, and soon, everyone knew that Xiao Guo secretly accused Yu Sanniang of being black, and even contradicted Si Nan...

Apart from Huaishu's iron buddies, the guys in the delivery team are also Sinan's fans. Hearing this, he would quit. If Zhong Jiang didn't stop him, he would definitely beat Xiao Guo up.

Not only the takeaway team, but also the attitude of other employees in the store is different from before.

Xiao Guo tried to explain, but no one believed him.

On the contrary, the more he explained, the more others could not understand him, thinking that he was jealous of Sanniang, playing dirty tricks behind his back, and had no conscience.

Si Nan noticed it, and said several times, the boys restrained themselves a little on the surface, but they still didn't like to talk to Xiao Guo behind their backs.

Xiao Guo is also stubborn, and ignores them, holding on alone.

In the end, I was depressed, so I found a remote tavern by myself after work, got drunk, and walked unsteadily on the street, not knowing where to go.

In the past at this time, either bragging and chatting with those boys in the staff dormitory, or learning to read and manage accounts with Si Nan, there has never been such a lonely time.

As if back in the past, he was still the orphan without father and mother, who had just come out of Wuyou Cave, had no home to return to, no one wanted him, and the Salesian Bureau refused to accept him when he was too old.

Originally thinking of going to the wharf to work as a coolie for a living, Sinan found him and took him to a hot pot restaurant, allowing him to live a life that he never even imagined before.

But now...

Xiao Guo supported the bridge pillar, covering his face and choking with sobs.

He is clearly dedicated to the hot pot restaurant, why is everyone blaming him?

Not far away, Si Nan and Yu Sanniang watched all this silently.

Yu Sanniang was so guilty, "Brother Dalang, I think Xiao Guo is trustworthy, or tell him, I'm afraid that if he can't think about it, he will leave..."

After all, what Sinan signed with them was only a "labor contract", not a death contract.

Si Nan shook his head, "This matter is of great importance. Except for you, me, and King Yanjun, no one should know. Tell Xiao Guo that if he is tricked by someone, he will be harmed instead."

Yu Sanniang still couldn't bear it, "Even if I remind you vaguely, it won't work?"

Si Nan said solemnly: "San Niang, you have to be firm, no one can believe it, including the aunt and the second niang, maybe someone will attack them at this time, once you soften your heart, you will not only hurt yourself, but also implicate them, you know ?"

Yu Sanniang nodded quickly.

Sinan looked at Xiao Guo who was not far away, and sighed: "Take it as a test for him. If he still does not change his mind after going through these things, I will transfer him to the branch to be a manager."

"That's great! He said that if he can become a steward in this life, he won't ask for anything." Yu Sanniang was really happy for Xiao Guo.

Si Nan smiled, "It's been such a long life, how can it be possible to just be a big manager? As long as you have the heart and work hard, you can open your own shop. Not only Xiao Guo, but also you."

Yu Sanniang was taken aback, "I... I can do it too?"

"Naturally." Sinan affirmed, "You are no worse than any man in the store, why not? You earn [-] Wen a month, which is six times a year, plus the performance and bonuses at the end of the year. I can rent a shop and open a franchise store.”

Yu Sanniang was stunned, and planted a small seed in her heart.

Not far away, Xiao Guo raised his head blankly when he heard the movement.

Si Nan gestured, and the two left quietly.

Xiao Guo raised his head, but didn't see them, but saw Bai Ye turning from the other side.

Bai Ye was wearing the same white clothes for thousands of years, playing a folding fan, like a modest gentleman.

He handed Xiao Guo a square handkerchief, "But it's uncomfortable? Wipe off your sweat, don't catch a cold after blowing the wind."

Xiao Guo waved his hand, "No need, I just drank a couple of extra gulps, just go back to sleep and be fine."

Bai Ye withdrew his hand without forcing, "My carriage is at the entrance of the alley, why don't you give me a ride?"

Xiao Guo straightened up, raised his chest and looked up, trying his best to look energetic and decent, "What does Manager Bai want from me, just tell me!"

Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, "Bailou lacks a supervisor, is Guo Xiaoge interested?"
