Rebirth of the third-rate cook

When Qin Yan packed up the pudding and went out, the sky was already brighter. Of course, it was still early before going to work, so, except for the morning exercisers, the streets were still a little deserted.

Pudding was held in Qin Yan's hands, lying on his shoulders, and yawned continuously. Liu Guo took the opportunity to pat him on the head, "You didn't listen to me telling you to sleep at home, now you know you're sleepy?"

Pudding didn't mind being slapped on the head by Liu Guo at all, instead he took the opportunity to rub it, "Pudin can sleep on Dad's shoulder, and he won't be sleepy after a while..." He fell asleep as fast as he said. It made Liu Guo speechless.

Qin Yan turned his head to look at Pudding on his shoulder as usual, and pulled up the hat behind Pudding's clothes to cover his son's head.

"Your son is very attached to you." Liu Guo looked at the father and son with envy. All her childhood memories were in the orphanage. Apart from the director of the orphanage, there were a few aunts who took care of them. Sleeping on your shoulders, or "riding a big horse" like before, have never been tasted.

There was a smile on the corner of Qin Yan's mouth, but it was not deep, so he couldn't show the dimples, "Yeah, I have been with me since I was a child, can you not be clingy!"

In fact, Liu Guo really wanted to ask where Mama Pudding went, but after thinking about it, since she is not there, there are only two possibilities, one is passed away, the other is divorced, no matter which one is not a good thing, I should not overdo it. Curiosity is good, so the question that came to the mouth slipped around, and another exit was changed, "Shall we go to the vegetable market like this?"

Qin Yan nodded, "It's not far, it's just ahead, I usually come here by bike, today..."

Liu Guo understood it, and there were two more "oil bottles" all of a sudden, so she couldn't ride the bike, and suddenly thought of another question, "You didn't come here by bike, so why don't we carry the vegetables back later? "

Qin Yan looked at him as if facing a formidable enemy, and smiled a little deeper, "Don't worry, I can handle it alone."

Liu Guo looked at Qin Yan suspiciously, then slipped his eyes to the pudding in his arms, and then to the bulging muscles under someone's short sleeves, and finally decided not to question it.

After a few words, the three of them walked to the intersection, and when they turned a corner, they saw the gate of the market.

After entering the market, Liu Guo looked at it on his own.In fact, he insisted on following, more because he wanted to know what types of vegetables and seafood were in season.Because strictly speaking, although he was such a great chef in his last life, he never really went to the market. Dongyang has a person who is responsible for purchasing. When he was an apprentice, he was naturally not qualified to say what the purchasing person bought. Later, he became bigger step by step. , Once the direct list of what is needed is made, all the purchasers will handle it. No matter how difficult it is, Dongyang has a way to get it. Whether it is in season or not is never within their consideration.

But now, since he is in a small restaurant, cost is the most important issue to consider. How to obtain high-quality raw materials at a low price to the greatest extent is his primary consideration.

All the way through the seafood and aquatic products area, the meat and poultry area, the deli and cold fresh food area, and finally came to the seasonal vegetable area. Liu Guo had a general understanding of the main types of goods and prices in the market, and just wanted to look up for Qin Yan. When he turned around, he found that tall man standing behind him, looking at him with interest.

"I was scared to death. Why did you stand behind me and say nothing? I thought you went for a walk somewhere else? Don't you have a stall where you are used to buying vegetables? Why don't you go?"

Qin Yan looked at Liu Guo with a puzzled expression, "Didn't you say that the vegetables I bought were huge pits? How dare I act without authorization."

In fact, there is another sentence that Qin Yan didn't say. Since entering the market, Liu Guo's whole feeling has been different. What kind of booth to stop at, how to inquire about the price and the goods, every step is extremely firm, and the words of export are even more certain. It is easy to handle, such a Liu Guo makes it difficult for Qin Yan to connect him with the Liu Guo who sat under the tree the day before yesterday.

Thinking back to the day before yesterday, Qin Yan didn't intend to invite Liu Guo into the shop to treat his wound, but just wanted to pass a bottle of water to that unlucky guy, but when he approached and saw the way the man was looking at passers-by, an inexplicable sense of familiarity swept over him.

That kind of helpless despair, with a little self-deprecating loneliness, Qin Yan has seen it countless times when facing the mirror.It was this kind of look that made Qin Yan temporarily change his mind. He subconsciously felt that what this person needed was not only a bottle of water, but also someone to help him.

As for keeping him in the restaurant later, Qin Yan didn't even think about it at first, it seemed that he decided so naturally, without thinking too much.

But now, it seems that he made an extremely correct decision without knowing it. No matter whether the person in front of him has a formal chef qualification or not, his ability is beyond doubt.

Found a treasure!

Seeing Qin Yan's smile getting stronger and stronger, even with a hint of complacency, Liu Guo immediately felt his heart shudder, this person isn't planning on him, is he?Thinking this way, he blurted out directly.

Qin Yan was slightly stunned and told the truth, "It's nothing, I see your posture, I feel that I have found a treasure, and your ability must not only be a small cook in a small restaurant."

The speaker Wuxin listened intentionally, Liu Guo felt a thump in his heart, he was really too relaxed, unknowingly released the self that had been honed in the previous life, but after all, this kind of Liu Guo only came after years of hard work , shouldn't be what this third-rate cook who didn't even take the upgrade test should have.

Such an obvious aura is wrong.Thanks to Qin Yan's unfamiliarity with his previous self, anyone in Dongyang would be able to detect the problem.

"Brother Qin, you flatter me too much. I'm just better at picking vegetables than you. When I was in the orphanage, the older children had to help the aunts cook. After a long time, I will naturally be able to distinguish between good and bad."

Half-truth, half-false, should be able to fool the past, right?Although the older children in the orphanage will help, but I have always been assigned to do hard work. Only those in poor health like Chen Lu will be assigned easy tasks such as choosing vegetables.

"Are you an orphan?" Qin Yan looked at Liu Guo slightly differently.

Liu Guo squinted, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Why? It doesn't look like it? No one stipulates that orphans have to look like an angry youth who owes them everything, right?"

Qin Yan was slightly embarrassed, "I didn't mean that..."

No longer teasing Qin Yan, Liu Guo half-closed his eyes and laughed, "It's alright, alright, I know what you mean, I'm not kidding you."

Liu Guo is actually not short, he is almost 1.8 meters tall, but in front of Qin Yan, who is over 1.9 meters tall, he still has to raise his head when speaking, so at this time, Liu Guo's eyes in Qin Yan's eyes are like A cunning cat with raised eyes, indescribably agile.

Qin Yan noticed for the first time that Liu Guo had beautiful eyes that could talk.

Naturally, Liu Guo didn't know what Qin Yan was thinking, clapped his hands, and said, "Regular dishes in the restaurant should be prepared every day, such as seasonal vegetables, meat and chicken, as for fresh aquatic products, it depends on the situation. I may have to buy seasonings again. After all, different brands of seasonings have different tastes. For example, some chicken essence contains salt and some do not. This will affect the amount of salt I add when cooking. Buy some and go back to marinate , cold side dishes, and stewed meat, I tend to adjust the stew and boil it myself, but the process of adding stew is very long..."

Speaking of this, Liu Guo suddenly thought, can you go to Dongyang to find some old lollipops?Thinking about it again, forget it, people are there, if people are not there, don't worry about it, maybe they will be regarded as stealing teachers.

correct!You can ask the master for some old brine. He remembers that the master has his own old brine at home.

With an idea in mind, the topic was skipped.And Qin Yan was secretly startled while listening to Liu Guo's ramblings. It turned out that there are so many ways to be a cook. He didn't think so much when he rashly opened the restaurant. He just thought, who can cook? ?Thinking about it now, I was still too blind.

After they left the vegetable market, Liu Guo realized belatedly that Qin Yan didn't mention anything, "Where are the vegetables we bought?"

"They'll deliver it to my store later."

"Such a small restaurant also delivers goods to your door?" Liu Guo realized that she still didn't understand the operation of the market.

"That's not true. It's mainly because I'm close, and it's finalized today. As long as the quality is guaranteed, it will be a long-term cooperation. These are at most after-sales service."

Liu Guo opened his mouth, and finally he could only sigh, "It's hard to do business these days!"

Pudding woke up as early as entering the market. Qin Yan was worried that he would be squeezed by the crowds in the market, so he let him ride on his neck all the way. Pudding was curious about everything and kept his eyes wide open. Looking left and right, he didn't speak all the time. At this moment, seeing the two adults going out to the vegetable market after shopping, he immediately yelled about his bunny buns.

"Hey, bunny buns are not in the market, they are in the breakfast shop."

"Early... early... Dad, go!"

When the three of them stepped into the breakfast shop, Liu Guo suddenly felt the pressure of their gaze, as if at that moment, all the people in the shop were looking at them.

Feeling bewildered, Liu Guo asked Qin Yan to take the pudding and find a place to sit down, while he queued up to buy breakfast by himself.

When he took the dim sum plate from the breakfast girl, Liu Guo understood the ambiguity in the other person's eyes in an instant, and immediately felt his scalp tingle, walked back to his seat in despair, and saw that he was calmly using a tissue Instead of putting a bib on someone for the pudding, Liu Guo had to admit that the two big men brought a cute baby out to the market early in the morning and had breakfast, which was indeed eye-catching, not to mention that Qin Yan was so tall and strong, It's enough to see him carrying pudding alone, let alone now that he has an extra person.

It's just that what makes Liu Guo want to cry is that although he is curvy, he is close to 1.8 meters tall, no matter how you look at it, he won't be looking for someone like Qin Yan, right?What kind of eyes are these people!
