Dressed as cannon fodder for the rich

Under the promotion of Qi Xiaoyu's soul, the first dinner they arrived in Xinguo not only cost nothing, but also made a net profit of 400.

Having enough to eat and drink and earning the first money put everyone in a very good mood, and the fatigue of continuous flying and recording programs was reduced by half.

Especially Zheng Peizu and Gu Meiling immediately had different views on Qi Xiaoyu.

You must know that in the last season, because they spent too much money on the first day and didn't get it, they ate instant noodles for three days very pitifully. After eating, Gu Meiling suspected that she was here to participate in Metamorphosis.

Therefore, both of them silently recognized Qi Xiaoyu, who can cook and make money, as their group favorite.

On the other hand, the people in the program team were happy to spend their money. After taking a bite, they even called out "really delicious", which was much better than their usual work meals. They asked Qi Xiaoyu how the cooked noodles were so fragrant and strong. , Eating a big bowl is not enough.

Someone even joked, "The guests invited are getting smarter and smarter, and even our money has been taken away."

The director was also laughing at the side. He was dissatisfied with Orange Juice Entertainment for stuffing so many people in, but now he felt that he had found a treasure. A Jiang Sicheng could contribute jokes, and a Qi Xiaoyu could hold up the scene.

He watched all the shots of Qi Xiaoyu cooking just now. The young man has slender fingers, his neck is white and slender when he bows his head, his mandible is clearly visible, his eyes are focused and full of spirit, the key is that his knife skills are skilled and delicate, this broadcast Come out, it will definitely attract a lot of fans to the show.

Hearing everyone's ridicule and praise, Qi Xiaoyu smiled obediently, neither talking too much nor stealing the spotlight, although he was in the limelight as soon as he came, but he didn't take credit for showing off at all, and stood silently at the back.

Zheng Peizu put his hands on Qi Xiaoyu's shoulders, and pulled him in front of the camera, with a somewhat protective attitude, "In the future, don't come here for anything delicious that Xiaoyu makes, and I won't sell it to you if the price is doubled. .”

Gu Meiling wiped her mouth gracefully, and said with a smile, "Look, I bought Zheng Peizu with just a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Sicheng didn't hear Gu Meiling's irony, and echoed in a low voice, "That's right, you'll be bribed with just a bowl of noodles."

Lu Tongtong immediately scolded him, "Then don't eat it. Go eat what you made yourself."

The rest of the people also kept up with the rhythm, and together they turned against Jiang Sicheng, "That's right, go eat your own noodles and see how much money you waste."

Although it is cold winter in China, it is midsummer in Xinguo, which is separated by an ocean.

Everyone gathers around the dining table in the pavilion by the water, chatting while eating noodles, and the cool evening breeze blows from the lake, not to mention how comfortable it is.

In a "hahaha" atmosphere, the first day of recording ended perfectly.

*****

In order to hurry up and make money, complete the tasks assigned by the program group.

At seven o'clock the next morning, everyone got up and started working.

Not long after waking up from the darkness in the early morning of summer in Xinguo, animals such as squirrels, bunnies, and alpacas all appeared beside the restaurant.

Under the arrangement of Zheng Peizu, Gu Meiling and Lu Tongtong were responsible for tidying up the restaurant, Qi Xiaoyu made breakfast, Xue Qingchu helped and cleaned the kitchen, Jiang Sicheng was kicked out and went to several main roads outside the restaurant to put up signs to attract people. Guests come to patronize.

After these things were done, the restaurant was neatly tidied up, tableware and flowers were placed on each seat, and after eating the egg fried rice made by Qi Xiaoyu, everyone went to the nearby big supermarket to buy ingredients.

This purchase is different from the temporary purchase last night. They bought it for themselves last night, and the quantity is small, so it is enough to buy some at the nearby small supermarket.

This time I want to buy all the ingredients that will be used in the restaurant for a while, so I came to the hypermarket.

The hypermarket is about ten kilometers away from the restaurant, and it takes more than 20 minutes to drive one way.

According to Zheng Peizu's plan, this time, he will buy all the ingredients that will be used in the restaurant for the next week.

After all, the restaurant is too far away from the hypermarket, and it takes too long. If you don’t buy more at a time, it will be embarrassing if you don’t have enough food for a while.

But after arriving at the hypermarket, everyone was a little confused when faced with the endless stacks of shelves and the dazzling array of products.

Even the old members Zheng Peizu and Gu Meiling who participated in the previous season were a little stunned. This store is too big, and the area per floor is definitely tens of thousands.

They recorded in Europe last season. Although it is also abroad, the population is much denser than that of New China, and the supermarket is not as big.

A few people stood at the door in a daze for a while, Gu Meiling said, "I'm going to ask for directions and see where the fresh food section is."

Although Gu Meiling has a little bit of princess sickness, she has the largest and heaviest suitcase in the number of recording programs this time, but she has to say that she has strong communication skills and speaks fluent English. She quickly asked the salesperson for the direction of the fresh food area. I took everyone to the fresh food area.

The fresh food area is not small, with refrigerators in front and back, a total of more than a dozen containers.

Lu Tongtong, who had the least life experience, was the first to ask, "There are so many dishes, and we only have 1000 yuan. What should we buy?"

Gu Meiling said coolly, "It's okay, just buy common dishes, pork, beef, vegetables, that's all."

In the last season, there was no one who was particularly good at cooking. When everyone went to the vegetable market, they would buy whatever they saw that they could cook.

Gu Meiling's experience is that it is best to do the above things.

Zheng Peizu is even simpler, "Choose the cheapest one to buy. Beef is the cheapest here, so let's buy more beef."

Young Master Jiang's eyes fell on all kinds of cooked food and snacks, "Can I buy some salmon and potato chips?"

The result was immediately rejected by the store manager Zheng Peizu, "No."

It looks like the dean reprimanding bad students.

Jiang Sicheng pursed his lips, and retreated pitifully to the side of the cart.

Qi Xiaoyu took out a piece of paper and showed it to Zheng Peizu, "Mr. Zheng, I thought about what dishes the restaurant could sell last night? This is the list I made, can you take a look?"

Zheng Peizu didn't expect that Qi Xiaoyu and Jiang Sicheng were the same age, not only good at cooking, but also so delicate in thought, so he couldn't help but praise him first, and then took the list for a look.

The list is full of classic Chinese dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour pork, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, braised pork, shrimp fried rice, dry flat green beans and mixed sauce noodles.

After reading it, Zheng Peizu nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, as long as you know how to do these things."

Qi Xiaoyu nodded, "All will."

After the menu is set, the process of purchasing ingredients is much smoother, just follow the menu.

Zheng Peizu is responsible for checking the price. When other people put something in the cart, he will write it down on his mobile phone, and firmly control the budget within 1000.

Gu Meiling is responsible for asking directions and helping everyone find the specific location of each ingredient.

Xue Qingchu and Lu Tongtong were responsible for picking the ingredients into the cart.

Jiang Sicheng, as a young and middle-aged labor force who can neither be a chef nor manage finances, naturally took on the work of pushing carts and carrying things.

After buying all the ingredients, pass the cake and dessert section on the way to the cashier.

The sweet aroma of bread and chocolate wafted over, and the ladies who were hooked instantly couldn't walk.

Although the egg fried rice made by Qi Xiaoyu this morning tastes good, but they have been busy for hours since the early morning, and they are already hungry again.

Not to mention that girls are inherently irresistible to the temptation of sweet cakes.

Looking at the thick and smooth chocolate and the soft and delicate cream like snow in the glass counter, Gu Meiling called out in a coquettish voice, "Old Zheng, how much money do you have? Is it enough to buy a cake?"

Although Gu Meiling is 37 years old, she is notoriously suffering from princess disease, and sometimes acts like a baby than Xue Qingchu and Lu Tongtong, but because of her good acting skills, she has been "acting" as before for more than ten years, so many people hate her , There are many people who like her, and the princess disease will not affect her reputation.

Zheng Peizu was a little more polite than his attitude towards Jiang Sicheng just now, but his tone was still firm, "No, the remaining money must be kept as a spare."

Gu Meiling repeated, "But I want to eat cake", and after speaking, she walked a few steps towards the cake counter.

Lu Tongtong also said, "Teacher Zheng, just buy a small cake. I want to eat it too, and the cakes here are quite cheap, less than 100 yuan."

Although Xue Qingchu didn't speak, but judging by her expression, she was also inclined to buy a cake and go back to pad her stomach.

Zheng Peizu was engrossed in settling accounts, he didn't understand the feelings of the three ladies at all, he shook his head mechanically, "No."

Gu Meiling frowned, "Old Zheng, you can't do this, this is everyone's money, it should be decided by voting, the three of us want to eat cake," and turned to Jiang Sicheng and said, "Xiao Cheng, you must be on Qingqing's side, right? ?”

Jiang Sicheng immediately pushed the cart and stood behind Xue Qingchu.

After Gu Meiling finished speaking and finished the series of actions, Zheng Peizu, who was settling accounts, suddenly put his phone aside, looked at Gu Meiling and said, "Meiling, you are also a guest who participated in one season, why are you still so self-willed?"

Gu Meiling immediately retorted, "Why am I self-willed? A cake costs less than 100 yuan. And everyone wants to eat it."

Zheng Peizu, "Did you forget the last sentence about us being so poor that we eat instant noodles?"

Gu Meiling, "But isn't there Xiaoyu in this issue? We already earned 400 yuan yesterday. Come here, Xiaoyu, are you going to buy a cake for my sister?"

Zheng Peizu didn't speak, but his expression changed a little.

Seeing that the atmosphere became more subtle, Qi Xiaoyu asked with a smile, "What kind of cake does Miss Meiling like to eat?"

Gu Meiling rolled her eyes, "Well, let's have a chocolate cake."

Zheng Peizu stared at Qi Xiaoyu anxiously.

Qi Xiaoyu pointed to the whole grains area next to the dessert area, and asked with a smile, "Sister Meiling, let's buy some flour and chocolate powder, can I make them for everyone when I go back?"

Then he said to Zheng Peizu, "Mr. Zheng, the price of flour is cheap. I remember that there is an oven in the kitchen. I can make a few more at a time. The rest are sliced ​​and sold as desserts after meals. It just makes up for our lack of desserts."

Gu Meiling immediately became happy, "Okay, okay, the cake made by Xiaoyu must be delicious."

Lu Tongtong also clapped his hands, "It's a good idea, we can eat it ourselves, and sell it to make money, Xiaoyu, you are such a clever little ghost."

Qi Xiaoyu's arrival was equivalent to giving the stairs on both sides, Zheng Peizu's expression eased a little, "Okay, just listen to Xiaoyu, buy some flour and go back."

No wonder all the poor and lowly couples are sad about everything. They have no money, and they are all overwhelmed with food.

Fortunately, after buying the vegetables and going back, things went much smoother.

Everyone split up and started to make preparations for the official opening in the afternoon to pick up customers.

The restaurant's main dishes are those in Qi Xiaoyu's menu, including staple food, meat and vegetables, and desserts.

In addition, Xue Qingchu also contributed two home-cooked dishes - seaweed egg soup and clam steamed eggs.

There is Qi Xiaoyu as the chef, Xue Qingchu carefully shuttles between the back kitchen and the lobby, Jiang Sicheng solicits customers, Gu Meiling and Lu Tongtong warmly greet the guests, and Zheng Peizu is responsible for collecting money.

In one day, they actually earned more than 3000 yuan. Although they did not meet the target of the program group, but they only opened for half a day, this amount is still quite impressive.

It's just a busy day, and everyone is collectively exhausted.

In the evening, when Zheng Peizu was counting the money behind the cash register, Jiang Sicheng and the others were so tired that they lay down on the table to rest regardless of their image.

Jiang Sicheng lay on the table in big characters, "I'm too tired, it's not easy to make money, can we raise the price tomorrow? My service can't be so cheap."

"Dream, at this price, if it wasn't for Xiaoyu's delicious cooking, people would probably not be willing to pay for it." Gu Meiling's sitting posture is quite elegant, but she couldn't help but beat her waist, "I'm worried about no business last season. One season’s business was too good, but I was worried, and my waist was exhausted.”

"Miss Meiling has worked hard, do you want to try the freshly baked chocolate cake?"

Everyone was complaining, when suddenly they saw Qi Xiaoyu walking out of the kitchen behind Gu Meiling holding a fragrant and tempting chocolate cake.

Today was too busy, and no dessert was added to the menu. Everyone thought that Qi Xiaoyu would not start preparing the cake until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he was so busy that he even baked a cake.

Even the follow-up camera was shocked and hurriedly picked up the camera again and worked hard.

Gu Meiling looked at the cake that unexpectedly appeared behind her, and the boy holding the cake and wearing a chef's hat with a gentle voice, and couldn't help shouting, "Oh my god, I'm actually on top of a boy who is ten years younger than me!" There is a feeling of heartbeat.”

Qi Xiaoyu laughed, not taking it seriously, and called Lu Tongtong and Xue Qingchu to taste the cake together.

In a harmonious and lively atmosphere, someone said, "I thought I would come out to record a show before the Chinese New Year, and I felt uncomfortable, but I am so happy to meet you."

With a smile on Qi Xiaoyu's face, the hand holding the cake plate paused slightly, the Chinese New Year is coming soon...

The last time Steward Cheng mentioned it, he thought of Xun Qian's sister, who seemed to have passed away before the Chinese New Year.

*****

On the same day, S city, suburban cemetery.

The sky in the deep winter is a bit gloomy, and the silent cemetery seems to extend to the end of the sky.

Xun Qian bent over and placed a bunch of fresh daisies in front of the tombstone.

The cold wind in the depths of winter blew past him, blowing his ink-like black hair and his almost bloodless face hidden in the fur collar.

After putting down the daisy, he sat there in silence until dusk fell and little snowflakes fell in the sky.

Many images flashed through his mind, from the age of seven to now, from his sister to Qi Xiaoyu.

There are also those rumors and Qin Xueyin's abuse, saying that Xun Qian has a hard life and overcomes everyone around him.

He narrowed his eyes and revealed a mocking smile.

Steward Chen gently moved his stiff legs, shook off the snowflakes on his body, took a step forward, and said softly, "It's time for the third master to go home."

"You go to the car and wait for me first, I want to stay a little longer."

"Hey... yes."

Cheng Butler's pace gradually drifted away, and it seemed that Xun Qian was the only one left in the world.

He was a little tired, and a little bit dull. The snow fell on the back of his hand in the wheelchair, and it couldn't melt away for a long time.

"Buzz buzz—" In the dead silence, someone dared to call this number.

The author has something to say: As an e-commerce dog, I have to work overtime tomorrow, so I may not be able to update it. Let me tell you first.sorry.
