Food Tycoon

Zhong Yanhong took off the windbreaker on his body, and stroked his sleeves: "What can I help? How about I peel the eggs too." After speaking, he moved to Liu Haoyang's side.

Liu Haoyang was stiff all over, and the veins on his forehead were bursting out. He stood up abruptly: "Let me peel the preserved egg. Lu, what else can I do?"

"Help me clean the soup cup with Buddha jumping over the wall. Be careful and handle it with care. Help pick out the gaps." Yu Lu was so busy that he didn't notice the change of Liu Haoyang's mood at all. They are rented from a tableware disinfection factory. Although they are all sealed, they still need to be scalded with hot water before use. Pick and choose, and don’t have gaps.

Liu Haoyang quickly agreed and went to clean the soup pot.Seeing him avoiding him, Zhong Yanhong couldn't help but shook his head, and turned to talk to Ah Hai: "Master Ah Hai, where is the Buddha jumping over the wall? They said yesterday that the fragrance is so delicious, why is it gone today?"

Ah Hai said, "It's all there."

Zhong Yanhong turned his head and saw that on the stove next to the inner wall, there were more than a dozen jars lined up side by side, as if they were not cooking at all, so he leaned over and sniffed: "I don't smell the fragrance. "

Ah Hai smiled: "Of course there is no fragrance. Buddha Jumping over the Wall was originally stewed."

"So it wasn't Buddha Jumping Wall that so many people smelled yesterday?" Zhong Yanhong clearly heard his employees describe the fragrance of Buddha Jumping Wall as heaven and earth.

"That's what I tried to do yesterday." Ah Hai said lightly, of course, it was also intentional, just for advertising.

The real Buddha Tiaoqiang is cooked in an airtight container, and [-] kinds of ingredients such as chicken, duck, lamb, tendon, ham, sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, fish lip, scallops, pigeon eggs, dried bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms are processed separately. Prepare it, then put it in the jar layer by layer, seal the mouth of the jar with lotus leaves, cover the lid and simmer, after the fire boils, then simmer for five or six hours on a low fire, so that the taste of the cooked ingredients is mutual Penetrating, multi-flavored, soft and tender, thick and juicy, but not greasy at all.

For cooking Buddha Jumping Wall, the best container is of course Shaoxing wine jars, and restaurants specializing in Buddha Jumping Wall are very particular about this aspect.Haibawang didn't cook Buddha Jumping Wall before, so the ingredients are not enough, so it can only be cooked with ordinary pottery pottery.

"When can I eat it?" Zhong Yanhong asked, licking the corner of his mouth.

Yu Lu heard this and shook his head with a smile. It was really a lie that he came to help, but the truth was what he ate.Liu Haoyang said unceremoniously: "This is not for you, do you want to show some face?"

Zhong Yanhong smiled and said: "I have already booked it, if you don't believe me, you can ask the boss."

Yu Lu couldn't help laughing, and it was true that he had already ordered it, so he said, "You can try the mouse later."

"I don't want it, it's so expensive, don't you want money?" Liu Haoyang was reluctant to waste things on the road.

Yu Lu said with a smile: "We always do a little more than what is actually required, just in case there are any accidents."

Zhong Yanhong said: "I will treat Officer Xiao Liu to eat, so that Boss Yu will not suffer."

Liu Haoyang looked at Zhong Yanhong: "The Buddha jumped the wall, can't I afford it myself?"

Zhong Yanhong smiled: "Of course you can afford it, but I want to treat you to eat."

"It's not rare to put away your hypocritical kindness!" Liu Haoyang rolled his eyes.

Yu Lu listened to the conversation between the two of them, and then realized something was wrong. Zhong Yanhong said that he was a friend of the mouse, but why the mouse did not treat him like a friend, but like an enemy. He was a little bit uncomfortable. He looked at Liu Haoyang with comprehension, but he still didn't ask, because he was too busy.

Although Boss Zhong Yanhong is indeed here to make soy sauce, the others are still doing what they should do in an orderly manner. At 11:30, the banquet officially started. Although there was no uniform attire, the waiters under Zhong Yanhong all put on their original work clothes - shirts and vests, which looked a bit like that.

The cold dishes are served first. Their biggest feature here is naturally the brine platter and cold seafood platter. Because it is winter, there are relatively few cold dishes. Then there are steamed grouper, boiled fresh shrimp, garlic oysters, and shredded chicken stew. Shark's fin and other hot dishes, when it came to the ninth dish, Buddha Jumping over the Wall finally appeared.Before the food was served, the strange fragrance from the kitchen filled the entire space upstairs and downstairs at the front desk. The effect caused by a Buddha jumping over the wall yesterday was so strong. Today, more than a dozen Buddhas jumped over the wall and opened the altar at the same time. Take people's souls away.

The guests who were eating could no longer stand the temptation. Everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked forward to the direction of serving food, looking forward to the arrival of Buddha Jumping over the Wall.

At the main table of the banquet, the two protagonists of the banquet, Mr. Shou Xing, chatted with his younger brother who had not seen him for many years. The younger brother said, "Brother, have you smelled it? This is the smell. I ate it in Zhangzhou before I left China. That's the taste of the Buddha jumping over the wall! I've been thinking about it for many years, but I didn't expect to be able to eat it after a few decades. I'm really happy."

Mr. Shou Xing nodded: "Why don't you remember, you also secretly hid the soup pot where the vegetables were served."

"Yes, is that soup cup still at home? I still remember it was a porcelain cup with gold and yellow patterns printed on it, very beautiful." The younger brother smiled with chrysanthemums all over his face.

Mr. Shou Xing said: "It hasn't broken since then, maybe Ah Da Ah Er took it when they separated."

The old people recalled the old days, and the waiters came to deliver the food. This time, every three of them were in charge of a table, and two people were in charge of carrying the trays. There were five soup cups with ocher and yellow patterns on the white ground in each tray, and the other person was in charge of serving the soup. Cups are distributed to guests.

The person who got the soup cup first couldn't wait to lift the lid, and everyone couldn't help but drool, for fear that it would drip down unconsciously. It was so fragrant that people couldn't resist the temptation.

Zhong Yanhong laughed in the kitchen: "The children under me are quite resistant to temptation, and they can still walk."

What he said was the truth. Almost everyone pursed their lips tightly, for fear that the saliva would fall when they opened their mouths. Only the guy who served the food was the most unlucky. After serving the food, he had to tell others: "Please use it slowly!" A little inattentive, the saliva splashed out of my chest, this job is so hard, it is really torturing myself.

Finally, all the Buddha Jumping Walls were placed together, and there was only a piece of head eating hard in the whole restaurant, and the waiters quietly retreated.Zhang Yiwei sucked his saliva in a loud voice: "Oh my god, it's too tortured. Can you let the person serving the food taste it first next time?"

Yu Lu smiled and said, "There's still some left over there. By then, each person can have a mouthful of soup."

"Enough is enough, I can drink a sip of soup, and I will rest in peace." Zhang Yiwei, a brat, spoke freely, and was drunk by Ah Hai: "There is so much nonsense, hurry up and serve the food. Have a happy event, Don't say bad things."

Zhang Yiwei quickly stuck out his tongue, and ran to serve the dishes. To be honest, they didn't care if the next dishes were served or not. Buddha Tiaoqiang had already eaten it, and if they ate anything else, the taste would be dull.

In general banquets, Buddha Jumping over the Wall is the finale dish, but for the sake of auspiciousness, the host requested that the ninth dish be served on Buddha Jumping over the Wall. This is because Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is also known as "Fushouquan". Is there anything more auspicious than this?Furthermore, the banquet originally had as many as [-] dishes. If it was the finale and everyone was full, and the Buddha Tiaoqiang was served at this time, the taste would not be so delicious.

If the host made such a request, naturally there would be no objection in the restaurant. The dishes are all prepared according to the requirements, and you can serve them however you want, and what they said is also reasonable.

As soon as the banquet was over, Hai Bawang became famous.The owner of the house who served the wine usually likes to eat, so he also made friends with many people of the same kind. His old man held a birthday banquet, so he invited a few friends of the same way to taste Buddha Jumping Wall, and one of them was a senior commentator from the Food Association of this city Home, the comments are very accurate, and he has a group of loyal fans in captivity. He posted the photo of Buddha Jumping over the Wall on Weibo, with the text "I went to my old friend's father's birthday banquet today, and I ate authentic Buddha Jumping over the Wall at a little-known shop." One copy is truly a blessing in life, thank you old friend for inviting me to a banquet, next time you have one, be sure to call me again.”

As soon as this Weibo was posted, it immediately became popular in the foodie circle.Everyone pestered the blogger asking where to eat, asking for the name and address of the store, so the blogger had to repost another Weibo, "I don't advertise in my life, I make an exception today, friends who want to eat Buddha Jumping Wall, please invite Haibawang Restaurant, I wish you good luck!"

Not long after, Yu Lu discovered that his Weibo had gained thousands of fans overnight. These days, foodies have also gone to great lengths to grab a bite of delicious food.

Of course, these are all things to say later, let’s say that after the banquet that day, the host’s family ate to their heart’s content, and the old uncle who came back from Singapore even specially wrapped a red envelope of [-] Singapore dollars for Chef Ah Hai.Yu Lu checked the exchange rate of the Singapore dollar on the Internet, and he died of laughter. Now the wages of temporary workers can be offset.

Everyone was so tired that they almost collapsed.Yu Lu divided up the rest of the Buddha Jumping Wall, and everyone could have a bite. After eating the Buddha Jumping Wall, everyone came back to life as if they had been injected with chicken blood.Yu Lu gave everyone wages, all of which were wrapped in red envelopes, one for each person: "Thank you everyone, there may be a lot of banquets in the future, if you have time, please come and help, is that okay?"

A waiter smiled and said, "Does Buddha jump over the wall to eat every time?"

Zhong Yanhong flicked his brain and said, "It's a good idea! Do you know how much it costs for you to eat that piece of Buddha Jumping Wall? At least 50 yuan! You can eat and take it, so feel free!"

Yu Lu chuckled: "There may not be Buddha jumping over the wall, but there must be dishes made by Master Ah Hai."

The waiters and chefs who came to help temporarily left after receiving their wages, and the rest began to pack up and clean.

Liu Haoyang didn't leave, and helped Yu Lu clean up: "Are you still open tonight? Isn't it too hard?"

Yu Lu smiled wryly: "I can't help it. There are still many guests who have made reservations for the evening. It's hard to turn down the promise."

"It's really hard for you to do this, 365 days a year without a break." Liu Haoyang sighed.

Yu Lu sighed: "Is there any way, unlike your normal work and holidays, when you do your own business, you have to bear all the pressure."

"Your shop is okay, and there is no pressure. It's just too hard. You should also take a break. If you open a shop yourself, you can be willful and close at least one day a month." Liu Haoyang suggested.

Yu Lu smiled: "When I finish repaying the usury money, the pressure will be much less."

Liu Haoyang lowered his voice and asked: "Your business in this store is not bad, how much is the loan shark?"

Yu Lu is in a good mood today. Although he is tired, he has earned at least 2 yuan, and he does not intend to hide it from his friends. You can repay the usury loan before."

Liu Haoyang bumped into him, with a happy expression on his face: "Okay, how long has the store been open, less than a week?"

Yu Lu chuckled: "It's thanks to Ah Hai, half of the money here is still his, but he said let me use it first."

The joy on Liu Haoyang's face faded a little, and he asked Yu Lu with a serious face: "Have you taken him for a checkup?"

Yu Lu shook his head: "Not yet, I'm thinking of going there during the Chinese New Year, when the store is closed and I can rest for a few days, the year before was the busiest time, so I don't have time."

Liu Haoyang nodded, Yu Lu saw something wrong with his expression: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. Does Zhong Yanhong often come to your restaurant to eat?" Liu Haoyang changed the subject.

"I've been here once or twice. I don't know too well. I'm learning to cook with Ah Hai now. I seldom pay attention to the things ahead. They are the ones who greet me. By the way, he said that he is your friend. What are you guys?" Friends?" Yu Lu has always felt weird, the mouse is a policeman, Zhong Yanhong is not completely innocent, how can they become friends, and judging from the way they get along, they don't seem like friends.

Yu Lu smiled unnaturally to cover it up: "I've caught him twice, and I'm familiar with him."

Yu Lu was so surprised that he laughed: "Is this the friendship?"

Liu Haoyang raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise? If he says anything, just ignore him and call the police or call me if you have any problems. He doesn't dare to do anything to you."

Hearing what he said, Yu Lu felt a little nervous: "He hasn't committed any serious crimes, has he?"

"That's not true. He's still a smart person. He's on the edge of black and white. There may be some small problems, but he hasn't committed any major problems." Liu Haoyang himself has to admire this point, but it annoys him even more. I really want to catch this guy in and lock him up.

Yu Lu heaved a sigh of relief: "Actually, he is nice. Today's waiters are all borrowed from his shop. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to handle it. This recruitment is not easy."

Liu Haoyang snorted, and muttered to himself, "He's still a kid."

At this moment, Yu Lu's phone rang. He took out his phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He thought it was another orderer, so he answered, "Hello, Haibawang Restaurant."

Before they could speak, they laughed first: "Yu Lu? I'm Wang Jieling."

"Oh, hello, Wang Jieling." Yu Lu gave the other party his own phone number that day, but did not ask the other party for a number.

"Tomorrow at noon, we have a reunion in our class. We have agreed to come to your restaurant for dinner. Reserve a few seats for us." Wang Jieling said in a coquettish tone.

Yu Lu got a little goosebumps, took the phone away, and leaned over after a few seconds: "Yes, how many people are there, and how many tables do you need?"

Wang Jieling said: "There are at least twenty or thirty of them. How many tables do you think you want?"

Yu Lu thought for a while: "Then it's a big bag. That's it?"

"There is nothing else, so you are in a hurry to hang up the phone? We don't want to chat for a while." The other party said, giggling coquettishly.

Yu Lu only felt that his scalp was numb. He hadn't dealt with women of the same age for a long time, and his impression of young women was always on Luo Yufen. ,I am busy right now."

"Hee hee, see you tomorrow, bye!"

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Haoyang asked him, "Wang Jieling was the one in our old class?"

"That's right, it's a class reunion, did I call you?" Yu Lu asked him.

Liu Haoyang said lazily: "Called, I don't have that American time. I'm on vacation today, and I have to be on duty tomorrow. They told you to go?"

Yu Lu said, "I wasn't asked to go, but he said he wanted to come to our restaurant for dinner."

Liu Haoyang curled his lips: "You have to pay for the food when you come, don't take advantage of them."

"Of course, it's not my shop alone." Yu Lu said with a smile.

"They are all richer than you, and it is right to ask them to pay." Liu Haoyang said naturally.

Yu Lu laughed: "I think so too."

In the kitchen, Zhong Yanhong sat on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, took out a cigarette, and threw one to Ah Hai. Ah Hai did not refuse this time, so he caught it. Zhong Yanhong threw the lighter over again, and both of them lit it. Smoke, swallowing clouds and fog.Looking at Ah Hai's smoking posture, it can be seen that he is not a novice.

Zhong Yanhong turned his head and looked around, and said to Ah Hai: "There is something wrong with the design of this kitchen, I feel a little suffocated."

Ah Hai leaned in front of the sink and took a puff of cigarette: "It's very suffocating. I don't have the conditions right now. I'll change to another place later."

Zhong Yanhong didn't understand: "Your skills are more than enough to be a chef in a top restaurant. How could you think of opening such a small restaurant, and you are tired and worried?"

Ah Hai didn't even look at him: "I'm happy."

Zhong Yanhong laughed so hard that he gave a thumbs up: "You are capable and willful. But then again, is it because we are smaller than the boss?"

Ah Hai squinted his eyes and looked at Zhong Yanhong: "Then why do you always come to our place? Isn't it also because of that police officer Xiao Liu?"

Zhong Yanhong patted him on the shoulder: "We are comrades, please take care of us in the future."

"If you can't take care of me, you will be lucky!"

Zhong Yanhong laughed: "Help me, don't you help yourself? Your family has such a nerve, it's strange to understand your mind." He raised his little thumb as he spoke.

Ah Hai exhaled: "That's not something you need to worry about."

Zhong Yanhong shook his head: "Yes, let's all take care of ourselves."

Both of them were silent, enjoying the short leisure time after busy work in a cloud of smoke.Suddenly I heard Zhang Yiwei, who is usually the most blatant, yelling outside: "Boss, look, we are on fire!"

Ah Hai pinched the cigarette butt, walked to the kitchen door: "What's going on?"

Zhang Yiwei held up his mobile phone: "Boss, look at your Weibo."

Yu Lu took out his mobile phone in confusion, clicked on Weibo, and found that there were n more comments and more than 500 new friends. Although his Weibo already had hundreds of fans, he suddenly gained so many fans. It's the first time I've seen it. "What's going on?"

Liu Haoyang came over to take a look: "Someone loves you, a veteran of the rivers and lakes, and you are still a big V."

Yu Ludian opened it and took a look: "This man is a food critic. He had dinner at our house at noon today. He said that Buddha Jumping over the Wall is delicious."

"Those guys, most of them want to eat Buddha jumping over the wall." Liu Haoyang said.

Zhang Yiwei took his mobile phone and read the comments on Yu Lu's Weibo: "I just want to eat Buddha jumping over the wall, and many of them are asking for the address of our store. Boss, please send a message to announce the location of our store."

Yu Lu said, "Didn't that be announced a long time ago?"

Liu Haoyang said: "It was a long time ago, who deliberately scrolled down, you re-send the address, and then list the price of Buddha Jumping Wall."

Yu Lu is as good as a follower: "Okay."

Zhong Yanhong said lazily from the side: "You can take photos of all the dishes in your restaurant, clearly mark the prices, and post them on Weibo. This is an advertising platform, and it's free."

"Yes, we will forward it for you." Zhang Yiwei was excited.

Liu Haoyang said: "If you add some money, it doesn't cost much, and you can have a lot of privileges, such as pinning things, such as the hotel address, you can always be pinning."

Yu Lu still knew too little about these new things. He didn't expect that the Internet would have such benefits: "Well, how do you recharge it?"

"Online banking, or Alipay will do." Zhang Yiwei said.

"I don't seem to have any."

Zhao Xiaoyang said: "Boss, let me charge for you."

"Okay, I'll give you the money later." He still needs to slowly explore and study these things, just like now, he still has to fumble for a long time even to post a Weibo.

Zhang Yiwei suggested: "Would you like to take a picture of Brother Hai and post it on Weibo together, and tell them that this is the chef of our restaurant. Brother Hai is so handsome, so many girls are sure to come to eat." He finished speaking This, laughing a little wretchedly.

Yu Lu was a little moved, so could he help spread the word, Ah Hai might be able to find his family sooner.

Ah Hai frowned: "No! I don't want to show my face when I buy vegetables."

Liu Haoyang said: "Forget it, you must know how to protect your privacy." From his perspective as a policeman, it is not ruled out that Ah Hai may have been framed like this. If he is exposed, it may cause danger instead.

Seeing that Ah Hai disagreed, Yu Lu didn't insist: "Okay, I've already sent it out. I can take pictures of the dinner tonight."

Liu Haoyang leaned closer to Yu Lu's ear and said, "You helped Ah Hai with the ID card, haven't you gone back to get it? It's best to get it done before the end of the year, and it will take a while after the holiday."

Yu Lu has already considered this issue: "I'm waiting for Anan to go on vacation and ask him to go back and help me with this matter. By the way, Anan should be on winter vacation today."

"Are you going to pick him up?" Liu Haoyang asked.

Yu Lu said: "No, he comes back by himself every time."

"Can he find the store?"

Yu Lu said: "I went to their school a few days ago and told him that I opened a shop here, so I should be able to find them."

Just as he was talking, someone appeared at the door, carrying a bedroll and carrying a bucket, Zhang Yiwei asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yu Bing, who was sitting behind the reception desk and playing games with Ah Hai's mobile phone, exclaimed, "Uncle! Uncle, Uncle is here."

Ah Hai walked over directly, and took the bedroll on Yu Nan's back: "Are you back?"

Yu Nan showed a happy and shy smile, and looked at the restaurant in disbelief: "Brother Ah Hai, is this really my brother's restaurant?"

"Yes. Come in."

Yu Lu also walked over and looked at his younger brother with a smile all over his face: "It's just in time to come back, I need your help with something."
