Great Imperial Merchant

After hearing this, Yang Zhongyuan was not in a hurry to go back to the kitchen, but instead recovered his senses and looked at the person who spoke carefully.

I saw that the person who came was a young man in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, long body and black hair, but he had a good face.

Cheng Weizhe saw that Yang Zhongyuan hadn't left, so he simply said to him: "Exactly, please follow us into the room to discuss in detail."

The visitor was taken aback for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that the lobby of this newly opened restaurant was overcrowded, and he himself suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to talk about business on the street, and immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Okay, okay, the boss wants to Be thoughtful."

Cheng Weizhe nodded, asked Xiao Er to take him upstairs, and asked Yang Zhongyuan himself: "Will you go up or do the work first? I can't decide what to do with the cook, it's up to you."

Yang Zhongyuan originally wanted to go to the kitchen to work for a while before talking, but since Cheng Weizhe had said so, he could only look at him with a smile: "Okay, okay, let me take the lead. You go up first, and I'll come back after lunch."

Cheng Weizhe was relieved to see that he finally didn't want to finish his work before eating.

However, despite what he said, Cheng Weizhe didn't go upstairs when Yang Zhongyuan entered the back kitchen. Instead, he thanked the diners in the lobby on the first floor, and made Xiaoer serve him more attentively. Go upstairs with Yang Zhongyuan.

Yang Zhongyuan is also a generous person. He prepared lunch for three people. Although the leftovers were all dishes from today's banquet, he picked out several hot dishes and served them directly, which didn't seem to be cheap.

The dishes that they worked hard to discuss, even if it is a flowing banquet, are definitely not inferior to the small stir-fry in the nearby restaurant.

When they went upstairs, they saw the young man standing awkwardly in the corridor of the private room, with thin sweat on his face, and seemed very anxious.

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe looked at each other, but they didn't take this as an issue. Instead, they said politely as soon as they met each other: "Brother, I'm really sorry. We are opening today, and the downstairs is a bit busy. If there is anything that is not thoughtful, please forgive me." Haihan."

Cheng Weizhe also added appropriately: "You seem to be in a hurry, you haven't had lunch yet, come here, these are our shop's signature dishes, if you don't mind, why don't we talk while eating?"

Seeing that the two of them had such a good attitude, the young man couldn't help but turn redder, and became more restless: "I'm so sorry, this..."

Yang Zhongyuan smiled and pushed away the private room he used just now, invited people in, and then called the waiter who brought the meal to serve tea, and then said softly: "Brother, to be honest, the two of us have been busy all morning. , I'm hungry right now, if you don't mind, we'll eat first."

He served spicy chicken, tofu, braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, and baby vegetables. The four steamed vegetables were also served in a bowl. Because they were all being heated in the pot, the aroma of rice was paired with it at this moment, not to mention how tempting it was. .

The young man obviously hadn't eaten yet, so he couldn't help sniffling when he heard this, but seeing Yang Zhongyuan and the others started eating, he picked up the chopsticks nervously, and put a piece of spicy chicken into his mouth.

He really knows how to choose, there are so many dishes on the table, only this one is made by Yang Zhongyuan, and he is too busy with the rest, he only did a few of the procedures if he didn't adjust the taste, he couldn't see that Yang Zhongyuan was the best craftsmanship.

But spicy chicken is different.

A piece of chicken is eaten, and the spicy taste immediately permeates the tip of the tongue. Quzhou is located in the south of the imperial capital. Although Quzhou can eat delicacies from all over the world, hot and sour are not taboo, but it doesn't like the dishes to be too salty.

The taste of this spicy chicken is just right, it will not make people feel heavy, and it can taste the tenderness of the chicken. The master who makes such a dish is definitely a master among the masters.

Naturally, young people also eat this bowl of rice. The patriarch appreciates the face. He thought it was rare to have such a skill at such a young age. Unexpectedly, after so many years of rebuff, now he hastily found a newly opened restaurant to ask for an errand, but he tasted such a dish .

Thinking of this, the taste of the delicious chicken seemed to disappear, the young man suddenly felt bitter, his complexion turned a little paler, and the left hand holding the chopsticks trembled suddenly.

I don't know if the two bosses can see his craftsmanship...

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe were indeed very hungry. They knew that there was going to be a tough battle today, so they ate a lot of breakfast, but unexpectedly they were young and strong. Although they did have a lot of strength to work, they were hungry quickly. .

But fortunately, I own a restaurant, so it's not easy to want to eat?Not only can you eat as much as you want, but you can also eat the best.

At this moment, the two of them couldn't care about the young man anymore. They touched shoulders and ate their lunch as fast as a hungry tiger.

It wasn't until Yang Zhongyuan finished a bowl full of rice and raised his head to add another bowl, that he realized that the young man opposite him had turned blue and looked extremely gloomy.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Zhongyuan couldn't help being startled, and reached out to touch Cheng Weizhe's arm, signaling him to eat slowly, and to talk about business first.

Cheng Weizhe had just eaten half full, and when called by Yang Zhongyuan, he immediately put down his chopsticks, glanced at the young man, thought for a while and asked with a smile: "This brother, I don't know what to call him?"

Seeing the gentle smile on his face, the young man immediately calmed down his restless heart, only to realize that he was only nervous from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even introduce himself: "I'm really sorry, I'm not a very good person. I can talk, my surname is Yu, my name is Yu Zhen, I am in my twenties this year, and I am a native of Quzhou."

Maybe he came here on an errand, so Yu Zhen gave a more detailed account, not only his name and age, but also his ancestral home, which shows his sincerity.

Yang Zhongyuan heard this, and immediately said: "Oh, seeing that you look so young, Ah Zhe and I thought you were younger than us, but unexpectedly you are an elder brother."

Yu Zhen waved his hands immediately after hearing this, and said nervously: "The boss is too polite, just call me Xiao Yu."

Yang Zhongyuan didn't do what he said, seeing that he was not so cramped, he filled him with hot tea with his own hands: "Master Yu, Ah Zhe and I are not very thoughtful people, so we are naturally very happy to see you are so down-to-earth." Let's not talk about those nonsense, there is indeed an urgent shortage of chefs in the shop now, where did you get a job before?"

This Yu Zhen became so nervous after just a few words with them. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to be a very thoughtful person. Naturally, Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe were not young people without knowledge. See a person's true nature between conversations.

Seeing his behavior, Yang Zhongyuan has actually made up his mind that even if he is not a first-class chef, it is good to stay in the shop for now and cook simple home-cooked dishes.

Otherwise, it would be too strenuous for him to hold on alone.

After hearing what he said, Yu Zhen immediately said: "The two bosses are real people... I, to be honest, I just want to find a job in this kind of shop. I don't have any big ambitions, as long as I can support my family. ...To be honest, I used to work as a cook in Jinxiu Garden."

There are many restaurants and bars on Baozhu Street, but there are not many that can really be named. Counting the few bosses who came today, and some who have never been, there are only six or seven restaurants.

Among them, Jinxiu Garden is naturally worthy of the name.

Compared with the time-honored Yuanjiacai and Dingshanzhai, this restaurant has always had a good reputation. It follows the road of wealth and honor. You can come here no matter how good it is, and eat no matter how expensive it is. When we first came here, Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe had already inquired clearly. up.

So seeing their boss look like that today, I always feel that something is wrong.

According to the rumors, although Jinxiu Garden is a nobleman's business, the owner is very kind, usually willing to do good, and has always had a good reputation in Quzhou City.

But when I saw that person today, he didn't quite look like him.

How to put it, it feels completely different in temperament.

At first glance, he is not a kind-hearted person. Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe don't judge people by their appearance, but today's Boss Guan, no matter his behavior or words, really gives people this feeling.

Therefore, after hearing Yu Zhen's words, Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe just squeezed hands under the table without asking any questions, but just said: "Master Yu, although we are new here, we also know that Jinxiu Garden is a famous restaurant in Quzhou." , you can work there, your skills must be great, why do you want to come to our newly opened small restaurant to be the chef?"

Yu Zhen frowned when he heard this, but he lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Yang Zhongyuan didn't ask this question, and it wasn't wrong if he didn't ask. He felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Instead, Cheng Weizhe served him a bowl of hot soup and pushed it to Yang Zhongyuan's hand: "No hurry, you eat first, don't hurt your stomach."

The appetite of the two of them is getting better and better now, because they do more work, so they eat more. There is nothing wrong with being able to eat and work, and their bodies are much stronger than before.

Although Yang Zhongyuan is still as thin as before, his figure has finally become stronger. Cheng Weizhe held him up and down at night and felt very relieved every time: "When I'm not so busy in the future, I must feed you fatter."

Yang Zhongyuan was made itchy all over by him, and smiled and hid to the side: "What nonsense, doesn't it look more energetic to be thinner?"

Cheng Weizhe kissed him, hugged him tightly and did not let go: "Who said that, I only want you to be healthy and healthy, and I don't ask for anything else."

Thinking of this, Cheng Weizhe quickly ate another bowl of rice, and then began to seriously peel Yang Zhongyuan's shrimp.

For this period of time, he has taken care of Yang Zhongyuan in this way every day. Yang Zhongyuan was not used to it at the beginning, but now he is used to it, so now he eats shrimp very easily.

When both of them were almost done eating, and Cheng Weizhe came back after washing his hands, Yu Zhen came back from his trance.

Seeing that the two of them were already drinking tea together, they couldn't help but blushed again: "I'm sorry, the past in Jinxiu Garden is really complicated and difficult to explain."

Yang Zhongyuan pushed the freshly warmed rice to his hand, and said with a smile: "No hurry, no rush, if Master Yu is willing to talk, we will naturally listen, but before speaking, Master Yu should eat the rice first, don't be hungry."

Yu Zhen's heart warmed when he heard this, he took the job and began to eat seriously.

As a cook who has worked as a cook for more than ten years, he eats very quickly. He almost settled a large bowl of rice and ate all the dishes on the plate.

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe had been waiting on the side. Now the hall has fewer people eating, and the dishes prepared before can handle it. If not, someone will definitely come up to invite Yang Zhongyuan.

Seeing that no one came to invite him, Yang Zhongyuan simply obeyed Cheng Weizhe's wishes and honestly accompanied him to drink tea in the room.

Yu Zhen finally put down the bowls and chopsticks, stacked the dishes habitually, and said, "To be honest, my father is the head chef of Jinxiu Garden..."
