Face Blind Self Help Guide

Qian Huarong hired ten staff, and the streets and alleys were beating gongs while promoting: "Qianduo Restaurant has been renamed Jiangnan Restaurant and reopened. You are invited to taste authentic Hangbang cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, and Jiangnan cuisine. Today, with Jiangnan's native place, you can get free There are 49 dishes for one dish, while stocks last!"

Free is always the most attractive. Jiangnan people who are free in the capital, come to join in the fun when it’s time for dinner, and they are robbed by others when they are 49 courses late.

Gu Changyi arranged for a person from Hangzhou to stand at the door to review qualifications, chat in random dialects, and those who could answer fluently would be given a dish and a bowl of rice.

Qian Huarong looked at the long queue at the gate. There are so many Jiangnan people in the capital. There are about a hundred businessmen, literati, husbands, and pawns. It stands to reason that there is no need to rank, but there are so many people Choose to continue queuing to watch the fun.

He was worried, with such a great momentum, could the dishes made by Gu Changyi really be edible?

"You don't need someone to help you?" Qian Huarong was surprised, "Is he inside alone?"

The restaurant helper said: "Yes, he came early in the morning with a bamboo basket on his back, drove us all out, and shut us up inside."

Gu Changyi was sleeping on a rocking chair. There was a stack of plates behind the rocking chair. When he leaned back, he touched the plates and made noises, making people think he was cooking.

Hearing this, he picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it on the chopping board: "Why, don't you believe me?"

Qian Huarong said, "I believe, I believe."

He scratched his head, lowered his voice, and called the servant, "Go to another place and book 49. If Gu Changyi can't make it, you won't be releasing pigeons."

Although the business of his restaurant is bleak, the crime is not limited to this.

Gu Changyi fell asleep comfortably, put the rocking chair back in Wuyajing, opened the steamer and fireplace, and took out the finished dishes in Wuyajing to heat them.

As for the ingredients prepared by the restaurant, he took them into Wuyajing one by one.

Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Changyi opened the door, and while the waiter was stunned, he delivered ten dishes of West Lake vinegar fish, ten dishes of lion head with crab powder, and ten dishes of squirrel mandarin fish.

Boundless Boundary can't keep heat, but it has proved its freshness preservation effect several times.

"What are you in a daze for, why don't you serve the food soon?"

The waiter swallowed his saliva as he looked at the ten dishes that were delicious in color, fragrance, and Gu Changyi's noble and beautiful face.

Snapped.

Gu Changyi closed the door and continued to heat up the remaining nineteen dishes.

In the lobby, 49 people have been seated. Among them are those who are covered in silk, and some are simple ordinary people. The mentality of the latter is to enjoy free food, while the former is more complicated. They don’t care about the cost of a meal or two. mentality.

It is not that there is no Jiangnan cuisine in Beijing, but it can only be imitated to a small or eighth degree, and it will never be the authentic hometown flavor.

This Jiangnan restaurant is promoting with gongs and drums, presumably it has invited a first-class chef.

But only Chef is useless.

"Serve!" Xiao Er yelled.

The clerks came in with thirty dishes, and put everyone's order in front of them.

The hall was silent for a while, everyone looked at the delicacies in front of them, picked up their chopsticks in a hurry, and poked a small piece of fish to taste.

The sunny day, rain and fog in the water town of Jiangnan bloom together on the tip of the tongue.The Yangtze River, Huaihe River, West Lake... people in Jiangnan have a river and a lake in their hearts, carrying the softest nostalgia.

Zhang Sheng is from the West Lake. He failed in the exams when he went to Beijing two years ago, and he has been shameless since he went back to face the elders in Jiangdong. He stayed in the capital while teaching and taking part in the next imperial examination.

He sipped a piece of fish, his eyes trembled, "This, this is definitely a fish caught near the West Lake!"

He knocked another fried lotus seed in sugar as a gift, which was the fragrance of the lotus seeds collected on the West Lake by boat when he was a child.

He stared at this plate of vinegared fish from West Lake, and was stunned. The longing for not going home for two years made a scholar's eyes turn red, and the exhortations of his fathers and villagers before he left seemed to appear in front of his eyes.In the next imperial examination, he will definitely not live up to expectations.

Zhang Sheng's reaction made those who didn't line up and were still watching the excitement open their mouths. At this moment, they all regretted why they didn't come earlier.

They have been wandering in the capital for several years, and they have long forgotten what the taste of hometown is.

"Look at this plate! There is a mark on the bottom." Someone exclaimed in dialect, "It's a plate from Wuguishange Kiln in Hangzhou!"

"You recognized it too! I am also from Wuguishan." The two big brothers who had never spoken a word suddenly recognized their relatives.

"Really! The boss is so thoughtful, I feel like I am eating in a restaurant in Hangzhou!"

"When I go out, I speak the official dialect of the capital. How can I hear so many Wu dialects?"

The remaining [-] dishes continued to be served, and the scene suddenly turned into a hometown meeting. Someone proposed to put the tables together and serve eighteen pots of Zhuangyuan Hong!

People who watched the excitement outside raised their hands one after another, and we also have to share a table.

The 49ers guarded their plates vigilantly, and hypocritically said: "Next time, next time."

Today, only 49 dishes are released for tasting, and it is not open for business. A plate of fish is not enough for one person, so even fellow villagers don’t want to share it.

At this time, everyone found that a girl in light yellow clothes was crying sadly in the corner.

"What's the matter?" Everyone loved each other. If you have any difficulties, you are all fellow villagers, and you can help.

The girl's eyes were red: "This dish is made by my father! My father is the cook of Hangzhou Jixiang Restaurant, and the squirrel mandarin fish is his specialty. As soon as I eat it today, I know it is his craftsmanship."

She married Qiu Yuanwai in the capital five years ago, had children, and because of the long journey, she never returned home.After eating 17 years of my father's craftsmanship, it has become an idiot in my dream.

The person next to him had a sudden thought: "Maybe, the chef is your father, he might want to come to Beijing to give you a surprise."

"Really... Dad!" The girl burst into tears.

After heating up the dishes, Gu Changyi came out to see the feedback from the diners: "..."

Maybe it was your dad who did it.

Gu Changyi felt faintly guilty, it was such a coincidence that his daughter married far away ate it.

The diners rushed to ask the waiter to call the cook out to recognize his daughter.

Qian Huarong was confused: "No, our cook is a young man."

Diner: "Look at her crying like that, let's call it out for people to see."

Gu Changyi walked over: "Hey, it's me."

Everyone was stunned when they saw Gu Changyi, why is she still a girl?

Gu Changyi said: "I went to Hangzhou a while ago and learned a little bit, which made everyone laugh."

Gu Changyi said: "I'm not your father, but your father definitely misses you too. Life is too short to see you once. Instead of crying here, you might as well take the time to go home."

"Yes, yes..." The girl wiped her tears while thanking Gu Changyi, "Thank you for making me make up my mind."

The diners shouted from behind: "If your husband won't let you go, if you come here tomorrow, we will help you pay for the trip."

Gu Changyi said: "Wait! Wait for me here for a while."

He went into the kitchen, closed the door, picked something from Wuyajing, brought out another plate of vinegar fish from Jixiang Restaurant, packed it in a food box, and handed it to the girl.

"The mountain is long and the road is long, do what you can, and put safety first."

"Ah."

A table of dishes was finished like a storm, and everyone was a little unsatisfied. They surrounded the cook like stars and asked Gu Changyi if he could open today.

Gu Changyi said: "No, I'm tired."

Everyone looked at his neat and tidy body, fell silent, and settled for the next best thing: "Then can you sell me the plate?"

It is also a thought to go back and take the serving dishes.

The corner of Gu Changyi's mouth twitched. He wanted to wait for the [-] dishes to be sold out and push out the plate as a souvenir. Someone would buy it now, which is really great.

Gu Changyi: "I custom-made plates from Hangzhou all the way, two hundred Wen each."

Like an idiot, Qian Huarong looked at the people who paid for empty stocks. This is how to make money... Is it the truth?

Gu Changyi knocked him awake: "It's your turn."

Qian Huarong woke up like a dream, cleared his throat, and announced: "Starting tomorrow, 140 dishes a day, we signed with Chef Gu for 20 days, so we will only sell them for 20 days, everyone wants to eat as soon as possible."

"Huh? What about 20 days later?"

Qian Huarong: "The chef is quitting."

Gu Changyi stood aside with folded arms, smiled and said: "After 20 days of work, I don't want to cook anymore in this life. I'm too tired. I'd better go back and be someone's wife."

Those who wanted to dig a corner suddenly stopped thinking.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion is willing to be a cook, it must be Qian Huarong's previous friendship, otherwise how could she agree to show her face in public?

In the past, when they heard that Gu Changyi had a romantic nature, everyone believed it. However, after talking to Gu Changyi today, while eating short-mouthed people and getting close to him at the same time, many people felt that their impression had been reversed.

If Gu Changyi really has something to do with Qian Huarong, can he be so frank?

Gu Changyi took Shen Hom to the street a few times, the affection in his eyes was genuine, it was different from his disgusted look at Qian Huarong!

Shen Hom, that idiot, married a really virtuous daughter-in-law, worthy of being the daughter-in-law carefully selected by the Marquis of Taiping.

……

Gu Changyi exhaled, took out the five dishes from the fireplace, packed them in food boxes, and prepared to take them back for Shen Hom to eat.

Qian Huarong's admiration for Gu Changyi deepened: "There must be a lot of people coming tomorrow. By the way, will the price be too high?"

Gu Changyi: "Why don't you think the food is expensive when you go to Juxian Restaurant for dinner?"

Qian Huarong laughed for a while, and told him a piece of gossip: "There is one thing that you must be happy to hear. The woman who arrested you in the street last time didn't please you, so she went to find someone in the other room. Trouble, it turned out that the outer room was desperate, the two fought, and Mrs. Yao's face was scratched. Later, the outer room disappeared, and Mrs. Yao was ashamed to see anyone."

Gu Changyi didn't feel anything, he almost forgot about this person.He touched his neck, and the three scratches had long since turned into thin scabs.

Qian Huarong: "After Mrs. Yao's embarrassment, it is said that everything follows Yao Jin. No one cares about Yao Zhen, so he just plays horse racing with those noble sons. Tsk tsk, he broke his leg and can't be cured."

Gu Changyi commented: "It deserves it."

He packed the food box: "Let's agree first, all the money from selling the dishes will belong to me."

Qian Huarong: "Of course, my father has praised me many times recently, ah, comfortable."

"Congratulations." Gu Changyi returned home with the food box.

"Young Master, Young Master..." The servant reminded Qian Huarong, "Everyone is gone, why don't you watch?"

Qian Huarong came back to his senses: "A fool can marry such a good wife, what do you think I will marry in the future?"

The boy curled his lips, don't you like Miss Gu, "If you really like her, you are the first to know her, why not—"

Qian Huarong didn't hear clearly, so he turned around and went downstairs, feeling elated. His father recently praised him, and he was willing to take the initiative to introduce the daughter of his business partner to him.

He was useless in the past, his father didn't even bother to hook him up, and even quarreled with his mother.

It's good to make money, go home and go on a blind date.

……

The fool everyone envied was covered in greasy spots after a day of cooking.

Juxian Restaurant listed fifty dishes for Gu Changyi based on his previous consumption records.

When he heard that Gu Changyi was not going to serve as a helper, but to be the chef, he felt a little bit of a crisis, and silently crossed out the "cucumber shoot" that was a pretense among the fifty dishes, and replaced it with the extremely difficult peony fish fillet.

Dark Six was from Yangzhou, and triumphantly mingled among the 49 people, whoring his wife a dish for nothing.After eating, he praised his wife for seven thousand words.

After listening to Shen Hom, he crossed out "mung bean soup" and replaced it with "red dates and snow clam soup".

In terms of cooking skills, he can't lose to Gu Changyi, otherwise what will he do to keep him.

Regardless of emotional aspects, Shen Hom has always shown amazing talent. Today, he prepared ten dishes in one day.

Ouyang Xuan was amazed: "Your wife is stealing my business now, why don't you come to our restaurant to fight with him."

Shen Hom stuffed the half-carved choy sum into his mouth: "Close as soon as possible."

"Bah." Ouyang Xuan spat out, as if the restaurant didn't own your shares.

Shen Hom took a shower and washed his hair, and he dared to go back only after making sure that there was no smell of oily smoke on his body.

He learned his lesson and boiled Gu Changyi's bath water ahead of time this time.

"I'm back! Come and eat!" Gu Changyi shouted as soon as he entered the door.

When Shen Hom came out, Gu Changyi stroked his long hair: "I washed my hair."

Shen Hom looked at Gu Changyi and Gu Changyi's unchanged appearance when he went out in the morning, and realized that his cooking skills were far from the smooth Gu Changyi.

A person who needs to shower and wash his hair is not a good cook.

Gu Changyi opened the food box, put the five dishes on the table, and shared the rice and chopsticks with Shen Hom.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Changyi propped his chin and asked with a smile.

Shen Hom looked at his slightly pink cheeks from walking, and suddenly his heart moved, and he leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"good to eat."

Shen Hom summoned up his courage: "Daughter-in-law, it's delicious."

The warm lips parted as soon as they were touched, leaving a small tingling feeling straight to the bottom of my heart.

Gu Changyi was stunned.

Gu Changyi covered his cheeks.

Gu Changyi's cheeks flushed, and he looked at Shen Hom in disbelief: "Where did you learn it?"

He's been away for half a month, what happened?

Shen Hom lowered his head and confessed truthfully: "Ouyang."

"Which Ouyang?" Gu Changyi suddenly widened his eyes, "The one selling fake medicine?"

He failed to sell successfully last time, and came to coax a fool while the guardian was out?

Gu Changyi clenched his fist and smashed the table.

I'm so mad, I'm so mad!If it weren't for the fact that he only has three thousand dishes, I really want to bring down his black-hearted restaurant!

Gu Changyi clenched his lips, he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, his ears were bleeding red, he asked, "What else did he tell you?"

Shen Hom said bluntly: "He said, I have to learn how to cook for my wife."

With sharp eyes, Gu Changyi found a blister splashed by oil on Shen Hom's finger, "Have you gone to learn?"

Shen Hom: "Yes."

Gu Changyi hurried in to get him some burn ointment.

Shen Hom looked at Gu Changyi's back and pursed his lips.

Gu Changyi blushed.

And did not hit him.

Gu Changyi came out, applied one or two bottles of burn ointment to Shen Hom, and tried to correct Shen Hom's thoughts: "We can't—"

He is male!

Shen Hom made another smack on the other side of his face.

"My daughter-in-law is really nice."

Gu Changyi blushed and touched his forehead, what should we do?

The author has something to say: Ouyang Xuan: Dirty words.
