Rebirth of the third-rate cook

After re-enacting the menu, the store's business has indeed improved.Liu Guo thought smugly, isn't it? With my craftsmanship, the price is not more expensive than others, even a fool knows how to choose!

Seeing that the business in the store is officially on the track, Liu Guo thought it was time to go to the master to rub some old stew and come back, and start making stewed meat. In this way, he can make some simple stewed vegetables during the evening market. There are many neighborhoods, even if the passing residents don't want to come to the restaurant to eat, there are still many people who buy a lo mei or two to add to their dishes.

But now there is only one cook in the store, if he asks for leave, won't the boss close the shop?No matter how you think about it, it is inappropriate, and Liu Guo is entangled again.

I don't know if it's because he lived a new life and got away from the previous personnel affairs. In this life, Liu Guo no longer pays attention to his words and deeds as in the previous life, but is a little more casual, so under this casual , Liu Guo's preoccupation was clearly written on his face, and Qin Yan couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

"The business in the store has stabilized recently, why are you still frowning?"

Liu Guo didn't look at Qin Yan either, and sighed, "Is it okay for people to have a sense of crisis, and they can't just relax when they see something good in front of them."

Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. To be honest, when he first opened his shop, he didn't expect his small shop to make a big profit. He just hoped that he wouldn't be able to support the two of them. That's why he chose to open a small restaurant. After all, in all transactions, this initial investment is relatively small, and the capital turnover does not need too much, and there is no need to press the goods.

It's not that he has no fighting spirit, but that he knows himself too well, and he is not suitable for business. It's just that, apart from opening his own shop, he can't have more freedom in time. It's really inappropriate to go to work from nine to five like others, but God made him lucky to meet Liu Guo. Seriously, even Qin Yan, the boss, is ashamed of himself. Since he came, the business of this store has been booming, and now he doesn't worry about losing money at all.

I'm afraid it will not be difficult for Liu Guo to open his own shop after he has saved enough money in time.

For some reason, Qin Yan didn't like the thought that flashed through his mind, so he shook his head and dismissed it.

"At least don't be in a hurry for a day or two, just think about it slowly."

Liu Guo looked at Qin Yan with an expression of "you don't understand", "Some things, if they are taken too slowly, they will lose their meaning if they are robbed first!"

"See what you mean, what idea did you think of?"

"I have investigated nearby. There are three residential areas nearby, but the food and beverages are all concentrated in our street. That is to say, if the surrounding residents want to be convenient, they will naturally come to this street. And I After some investigation, the whole street is full of large and small restaurants and fast food restaurants, and none of them sells lo-mei. I was thinking, we can make this one. We don’t need too many varieties in the early stage, just some home-cooked ones It’s fine, and it’s sold outside when we’re in the evening market, and both customers who eat in the store and those who pass by can buy it, which is also our specialty.”

Qin Yan nodded when he heard the words. Liu Guo was more thoughtful than him. As the boss, he really has nothing to fault except for his support. "Since I thought about it, what are you still worried about?"

"It's not easy to make lo mei. If you want to make lo mei well, the brine is the most important thing. But if I start to mix the brine now, it's not that it can't be done, but it has no selling point. It's no different from other people's lo mei. Well, any distinctive lo-mei shop has its own secret recipe. I wasn’t a cook who specialized in this area before, and I only knew how to mix ordinary brine. If we learn everything, we will have no advantage!"

"Although what you said is a problem, I think that if we do it first and other people are used to buying from us, as long as our taste is not inferior to others and the price is not more expensive than others, there should be no major problems. "

Liu Guo puffed his cheeks, "Boss, can you stop muddling along like this? If there is no perfect plan, it may not be a good thing to get on the horse easily."

Qin Yan spread his hands, "Then what's your plan?"

Liu Guo narrowed his eyes, "I know that my master has old brine in his family. It is said that it was passed down from his master. He will take it out and boil it again after a while to ensure the mellow fragrance of the brine. It’s not a hundred-year-old stew, but it’s good enough for decades, I think I can go and get some back, and then cook it on this basis, it will definitely be fine.”

Qin Yan looked at Liu Guo with a funny face, "Since you have already thought of a solution, why are you still walking around here with me with a sad face?"

"Who's going around in circles? I'm just chatting with you, just chatting. What's more, who told the boss that you are so stingy and only hire me as a cook. Do you think that I will go to the master's house to ask for brine for a while? It is inevitable It takes a day, so is it necessary to close the boss's shop for a day? This is unrealistic."

Qin Yan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Liu Guo's troubles for a long time were for his own sake, and he felt better for no reason, "What's unrealistic, why don't we just close the door for a day, why don't you become your own boss and even give yourself a vacation?" No way? I'm not the kind of boss who loses money, so what are you worried about?"

After being told by Qin Yan, Liu Guo really felt that he was hypocritical. Why did he forget that his boss is not in the same category as those misers in the past?Don't say that the business is good now, closing the door for a day won't have any big impact, even when he didn't come in the beginning, there was no one in the store, didn't he calm down too much?

Immediately, he slapped his head, secretly thinking that his brain was kicked by a donkey, and he didn't even think about it, "Then let's make a decision, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends, there are many people, and there are usually many chores on Mondays, so it's not appropriate, or next Tuesday Well, Brother Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Yan nodded without any objection.

So Liu Guo got Qin Yan's consent, and called Meng Wanyang that day, but Meng Wanyang scolded Meng Wanyang when he answered the phone.

"Damn boy, did you finally think of your master? I thought you had disappeared from the world! After leaving Dongyang for so long, except for sending me a message at the beginning saying that you found a job, have you contacted me since then? Ah? Let's go Didn’t everything I told you fall on deaf ears? Hasn’t it been too long since I kicked your butt, you kid, and you’re a little lost?”

Although Meng Wanyang scolded angrily, Liu Guo listened with a smirk while holding the phone. It feels really good to be cared about. Even being scolded is a kind of happiness. I found a chef in Dongyang, and the old master wandered around. There were very few such conversations. On the contrary, in this life, my unexpected behavior made the master worry about me, so I exposed all these concerns. out.

"Hey hey, master, my apprentice actually misses you every day! I didn't contact you before because I was too busy in the new store, but now it's all over. You don't know, master, I just saved this store. In the beginning, no one came to this store, but now, the business is good every day, and others praise my craftsmanship, but I know that this is all taught by you, Master. Master, you said, if there is no you, how can there be I am today."

Meng Wanyang on the other side was silent for a while, but he only said one sentence, "Stinky boy!"

Liu Guo continued to smirk, "By the way, Master, I remember that you have been off on Tuesdays, hasn't it changed? I'll see you next Tuesday, okay?"

"Hmph, you have a conscience, you finally thought of visiting me, an old man!"

"Oh, master, I can have no conscience towards anyone, but I have double conscience towards you! By the way, I bought your favorite Erguotou, and Tuer will accompany you to drink two cups then!"

Meng Wanyang on the opposite side snorted noncommittally, "I don't know how many fancy intestines you have? Tell me, is there anything you need to help me with?"

"Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Master's Fire Eye Gold. Master, help the world! In order for your apprentice to be able to do well in the new store, can you give me some of your private stash of old bittern?"

"Sure enough, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Palace! It turned out that I had the idea of ​​picking up my private collection! Humph! There is no door! Don't think about it! This is a good thing, how can I cheapen others at will! Wait for you to open a store yourself in the future Leave it to me to ask for it!"

"Oh, master, master! It can't be considered cheap for others. Now the owner of this store treats me very well. It's not easy for him to take care of his son alone, but he still takes good care of me, including food and shelter. Not to mention, the salary and treatment have never been harsh on me, and I will not lose my share of any delicious food on weekdays. Besides, this old loon is coming to strengthen my position. If I leave, it will naturally How can you take advantage of others if you take it away?"

"Hmph! Don't play tricks on me, you're just making wedding dresses for someone else's shop!"

"Oh, master—I have already boasted about Haikou, but I told our boss that my craftsmanship is not enough compared to Master's. When you taste the stew cooked by Master's old stew You will know."

"Don't put a high hat on me, I won't take what you do!"

Liu Guo became a little anxious, gritted his teeth, and couldn't care less about other things, and lied, "Oh, master, I also recognized my boss' son as my godson, and I will definitely come and go frequently in the future, really. It's not cheap for outsiders!"

Meng Wanyang on the other end suddenly lost his voice. As a master, he knew how much Liu Guo longed for a home. Over the years, I tried hard to make him feel at home here, but because of some The reason is that after being a bachelor all his life, he really can't create this atmosphere, but according to Liu Guo's current statement, no matter it is the store or the people in the store, he may have become dependent on his family.

"Is your boss a woman?"

Liu Guo didn't know why Meng Wanyang asked this suddenly, but he answered honestly, "No, it's a man."

Meng Wanyang was silent for a moment, then said in a nasty voice, "Bought some vegetables and brought them here before lunch, don't expect me to cook for you!"

As soon as Liu Guo heard that Master agreed, she grinned happily, "Don't worry, take care of me!"
