Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

After packing up a batch of beef balls, Xu Ziqi glanced at the time.

It was past 3 p.m. now.

After thinking for a while, he called Mr. Xu of the hot pot restaurant.

After learning that Mr. Xu was in the store, he rode his electric scooter over.

The two business districts were not very far apart.

After a while, Xu Ziqi arrived downstairs at the June 1st Square.

At this time, the owner of the hot pot restaurant had been waiting at the door for a while.

Seeing Xu Ziqi, he hurried over.

"Young man, you're here."

The owner of the hot pot restaurant talked to Xu Ziqi while handing him a cigarette.

Xu Ziqi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke.

The boss noticed that there was something on the front pedal of the electric scooter and pouted at Xu Ziqi, "Is that what you brought?"

Xu Ziqi nodded, "Yes."

"What is it?"

The boss was a little curious.

The young man didn't say what he brought before he came.

"It's some beef balls." Xu Ziqi answered.

The boss nodded.

This was within his expectations.

After all, meatballs are a popular dish in hot pot.

Since it is a supply, it is better to choose some hot dishes.

"Let's take the goods to the store first."

As he spoke, the hot pot restaurant owner did not hesitate and picked up the goods with Xu Ziqi.

Entered the square.

Today is the second day of the New Year's Day holiday.

The various shops around are about the same level of bustle as yesterday.

And many restaurants on the third floor are the same, with people crowded inside and outside the store.

But there is an exception.

That is Boss Xu's "unknown hot pot restaurant".

The store is still the same as yesterday, and there are not many people.

"1,2,3,4..."

When entering the store, Xu Ziqi counted and there were only five tables of guests.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help shaking his head.

You have to know that this is a hot pot restaurant with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. There should be at least 30 or 40 tables inside, but there are only five tables of customers.

It looks too deserted.

Such a customer flow is not comparable to that of Food Paradise, and even some small fly restaurants can beat it.

But it is normal. After all, this restaurant is expensive and not delicious. The customers are not fools, so they are naturally unwilling to come here to be sucked.

Arrived in the kitchen.

Since there are not many customers, the chef is not very busy. At this time, several people are playing with their mobile phones together.

When they see the boss coming in, they quickly put their mobile phones away.

Xu Ziqi frowned slightly when he came in and saw this scene.

If it was in his store, it would never happen.

In the kitchen, you must abide by the rules of the kitchen.

Anything irrelevant to it cannot be done.

"It seems that this store is not only not doing well in business, but also the attitude of the chef is not good."

Sighing in his heart, Xu Ziqi glanced at the boss next to him.

But Boss Xu looked calm, and didn't seem to care.

In fact, he really didn't care.

Anyway, if the business didn't improve this time, he planned to close the store, and then these people would leave.

"Old Zheng, come here."

Boss Xu waved to a middle-aged chef.

The man turned his head when he heard the voice.

Xu Ziqi saw that he was wearing a chef's hat and had a bulging belly. He was the only chef who didn't play with his mobile phone and was studying the dishes.

"What's wrong, Old Xu."

Old Zheng came over, looked at Xu Ziqi again, and asked Boss Xu: "Who is this guy?"

"Oh, he is our new supplier. This time he brought some new dishes. I want you to try the taste."

After that, Boss Xu introduced to Xu Ziqi: "This is our chef here, you can just call him Old Zheng."

"Hello, Old Zheng." Xu Ziqi stretched out his hand.

"Hello young man, what's your name?"

"My last name is Xu."

"Hello, Boss Xu."

"Boss Xu, what dishes did you bring?"

"Well...some beef balls." As he spoke, Xu Ziqi opened the package.

Lao Zheng looked over.

He saw a bunch of very round and regular gray balls appear in front of him.

After just one look, Lao Zheng nodded to Xu Ziqi.

"This looks good. Can I try the taste now?"

"Of course." Xu Ziqi nodded.

Lao Zheng took the beef balls over.

He was just testing the taste of the new soup base.

In fact, as the chef of this restaurant, he should take half the responsibility for the bad taste of the dishes.

But the skills are here, and he himself is not very talented, all of which are acquired through time.

In fact, he also knew that he would have to leave if the business did not improve.

But he was really unwilling to be so humiliated.He left without a second thought, so he has been researching a new soup base flavor during this period.

And hard work pays off. Just now, he really figured it out.

Now he is confident that the soup base of this hot pot restaurant has improved compared to before. He dare not say how much better it is than outside, but it is no problem to reach the normal level.

It is still a double-flavored pot, one is tomato and the other is spicy beef oil.

Lao Zheng put a few beef balls in each.

After cooking for a while, it feels almost done.

Use chopsticks to pick it up in the bowl.

He ate the beef balls in the beef oil pot first.

The cooked beef balls are stained with the aroma of butter, and they look rosy and juicy, and they smell even more refreshing.

"Not bad, not bad, it really deserves to be the new soup base that I have carefully researched, it smells delicious."

"With such a soup base, let alone beef balls, you can eat two bowls of rice even if you cook slippers."

Having a bit of shameless self-praise in his heart, Lao Zheng picked it up with chopsticks.

Blow a breath, and then put it in his mouth.

When the beef balls entered my mouth, I first tasted a hint of spicy flavor, which was the effect of the pot bottom.

Although it was not particularly perfect, in the eyes of a chef of Lao Zheng's level, it was already very delicious.

His face was very satisfied, and then he bit down.

And at this moment.

A thin water arrow suddenly burst out from the beef ball, and this water arrow pierced directly in front of him.

To outsiders, it looked like a pressure faucet.

"Damn, it actually sprayed water."

Except Xu Ziqi, everyone around, including Boss Xu of the hot pot restaurant, was shocked.

"What kind of beef ball is this?"

Boss Xu turned his head and asked Xu Ziqi in surprise.

Xu Ziqi replied indifferently, "Peeing beef ball!"

Boss Xu was stunned for a moment.

"Peeing beef ball?"

"It's really appropriate, it really pees."

"But I don't know how this peeing beef ball tastes?"

He muttered silently in his heart, and looked at Lao Zheng again.

At this time, Lao Zheng was completely stunned.

His mouth was filled with the rich aroma of beef and the sweetness of mantis shrimp.

The ultimate taste of these two ingredients combined even overwhelmed the spicy taste of the pot bottom and was deeply imprinted in his taste buds.

Originally, I thought that with this new pot bottom, I could make the ordinary-tasting ingredients shine.

But now it seems that it is this ordinary-looking beef balls that perfectly bring out the taste of the pot bottom.

Compared with this beef ball, his new pot bottom seems to be nothing.

Even Lao Zheng guessed that such delicious beef balls, put in the previous ordinary-tasting pot bottom, can be very delicious.
