Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 9682 Business is bleak

Tan frowned, looking at Yang Huamei very unhappy.

She felt that her daughter was not close to her.

Before, it was because the eldest grandson was strong and he was not close to himself.

At this moment, another young daughter-in-law, Xu Qiaohong, appeared, and she didn't kiss her again.

If it's Zhuang Zhuang, then there's nothing wrong with the Tan family. After all, Zhuang Zhuang is Mei'er's grandson, and the same blood flows through his body.

But this Xu Qiaohong is a daughter-in-law, an outsider, why can she not kiss her own mother for an outsider?

"Mei'er, you are too much! It really chills me!"

Tan was very angry, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and stood up, sat on the empty bed next to her, groaned her head, and remained silent.

Yang Huamei originally wanted to coax Tan Shi a few words, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.

Let her hang out by herself for a while, maybe she will figure it out.

Or maybe the old lady has already listened to her begging, but the old lady has a strong temper, and she is too embarrassed to speak soft words in person, so let's skip this topic for the time being and continue eating.

So, when Old Yang and the others came back from the restaurant after eating and drinking, they thought Yang Huamei and Mrs. Tan were asleep in the ward.

Because there is no sound at all!
However, when they entered the room, they found that the two women were buried in their meals, not speaking to each other.

……

Qingshui Town.

Dabai returned to Baimeizhai Restaurant, it was about lunch time, but the business in the restaurant was not very good, it was even a bit cold.

This made Dabai very unhappy, he walked around the hall and saw Hongmei sitting behind the cashier with her cheeks in a daze, and didn't even notice him entering the door.

How does this attract customers?

Dabai raised his hand and knocked on the cash register table, only then did Hongmei regain her senses.

Seeing Dabai, Hongmei's eyes showed joy.

She quickly stood up and said, "Master, you are back. If you don't come back, our shop will be closed!"

Dabai frowned, and looked around, "Why didn't you see a few guys? Where did everyone go?"

Hongmei sighed: "They all went to Tianxiang Tower!"

"What? Went to Tianxiang Tower? Why? Did something happen?" Dabai asked in shock.

Hongmei pulled him to sit behind the cash register, stuffed the hot tea she had just made into his hand, and whispered to him what happened in the past three to five days...

After hearing this, Dabai was really furious.

If he didn't feel sorry for the fact that the tea bowl and tea leaves in his hand were purchased with his own money, he would really have dropped them on the ground.

"My naughty cousin, this is deliberately stabbing me in the back!"

He sat on the small stool, gnashing his teeth in hatred.

It turned out that in the past few days, the Tianxiang Building in the town suddenly released news that it wanted to recruit a group of experienced cooks and waiters.

The treatment given is very generous.

As a result, two cooks, three waiters, and the little butler in the waiter all ran away in his Baimeizhai.

The two cooks in the backyard were the cooks he had spent a lot of money poaching from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and they were good at Huaiyang cuisine.

"Those two white-eyed wolves, in order to keep them both, I specially allocated two rooms in the backyard for them to live alone, and I didn't let them sleep with the guys in the Datong bunk!"

"I'll give you a few extra bucks, and I'll run away, white-eyed wolf!"

Hearing Dabai's scolding, Hongmei also shook her head lightly, sighed and said: "What can I do, you are not in the restaurant, our restaurant is not sure, if other restaurants come to poach people at this time, they must be right!"

Dabai took a sip of tea, almost burned his lips, and put the tea bowl back on the counter in a bit of frustration.

"Lao Hong didn't leave?" Dabai asked Hongmei again.

Hongmei shook her head, "I didn't leave, the food in the kitchen these days is all supported by Lao Hong."

Dabai nodded: "Lao Hong is still reliable, he can stay at the critical moment, and he can share troubles!"

Hongmei turned her face away and snorted.

"Old Hong is reliable? You can pull it down!"

"What do you mean?" Dabai asked.

Hongmei said: "Since Tianxianglou released the news to recruit people, Lao Hong was the first to go there secretly."

"As a result, people don't want him!"

"What?" Dabai's eyeballs turned into copper bells, and his head was buzzing even more.

"Why don't you want him?" He asked angrily.

Hongmei sneered again: "People say that they are afraid that the sashimi and raw pickled shrimp will be eaten by customers and they will not be able to compensate for it!"

Dabai was stunned.

This old master Hong is the one he invited back to make seafood big coffee, and also the chef who brought his younger brother Xiao Hei back to the village to handle the banquet last time when he got married.

result……

Everyone knows that the mess in the village has not had time to clean up!

"This bastard, old man, still has the face to stay here?" Dabai clenched his fists, got up and went to the kitchen in the backyard to drive Master Hong away.

Colleagues are rivals, and to Dabai, those cooks and clerks who were poached by colleagues in his own shop are all deserters who have defected.

But compared to those who directly betrayed and went to Tianxiang Tower, Dabai hated Master Hong's traitors who were rejected for betrayal and came back licking their faces!

Therefore, Dabai plans to go to the backyard to chase people out, Tianxianglou doesn't want it, and neither does Baimeizhai!
But Hongmei stopped him.

"Even if you want to kick him out, you shouldn't pick it at this moment!" Hongmei said in a low voice.

Dabai stood where he was, his eyes were turning, and his brain was also running fast.

There are only three chefs in the back kitchen, and now two are gone, leaving one.

If the only one is also kicked out, then the back kitchen will be paralyzed.

"Find someone as soon as possible!" Dabai gritted his teeth.

"It's not difficult to find a buddy, but it's very difficult to find a chef!" Hongmei said.

The average person can cook the dishes well, which is nothing.

But to support the business of a restaurant, you must have a few brushes.

Dabai pondered for a moment, then said: "I can support the pastry for the morning tea by myself with a few assistants."

"But lunch and dinner, I'm not very good at it."

"Even if it's Lao Hong, he's good at seafood. He can't grasp the flavor of our stir-fry!"

Hongmei shook her head: "Old Hong likes to put sugar cubes in his cooking, whether it's spicy chicken nuggets or braised fish, he likes to put a spoon in it, making it sweet and spicy."

"You don't know, these days because of this, several tables of customers are clamoring to return and exchange. In order to deal with these, my brain really hurts. Just now I sat here and was distracted, thinking that it would be impossible to send someone to the county to arrest you Urge to come back, fortunately you are back!"

Dabai glanced at Hongmei, but after not seeing her for a few days, Hongmei was visibly haggard and thin.

People who usually like to make up so much, now they are all without makeup.

It can be seen that what happened in the restaurant these days really bothered her so much that she didn't care to dress up.

"Hey!" Dabai sat back discouraged, with a frowning face, as if he wanted to be owed 100 taels of silver, and the other party not only refused to pay him back, but also beat him up violently.

"It's the end of the year, and many people are stuck at home. It's really hard to find an experienced chef who can cook good dishes!"

Dabai sighed.

Not only must the cooking be delicious, but one must also have experience in understanding the tastes of the customers in this area, in the operation of the restaurant’s large kitchen, as well as in the deployment of the assistant chefs, staff, and configuration of various ingredients.

Only in this way can it be controlled during the peak meal times at noon and night, otherwise, if the chef is inexperienced, the big kitchen will be in a mess, even more messy than a ball of twine!
Dabai scratched his scalp, but couldn't think of a corresponding solution.

At this moment, a customer over there came to check out, and Hongmei urged Dabai: "You just came back and are tired, so go upstairs and lie down for a while, maybe you can think of a way after you rest?"

Dabai nodded, "Well, I'm really tired after being in the county town for a while!"

It's not that I'm tired of serving my old lady, but I'm tired of being squeezed and followed by Xiao Hei and Xu Qiaohong every day.

Today, after much deliberation, he still plans to sneak back to the town to rest for a few days.

Otherwise, Gagong Gapo and the fourth uncle stayed in the county medical center for a few days, and he would not have a good life, and they all came against him!
Dabai went upstairs, returned to the familiar room, washed his face, fell asleep on the bed, pulled the quilt over his head and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

A lamp was lit in the room, and Hongmei also came over.

He held a bowl in his hand.

"Are you awake? Sit up and eat dinner when you wake up!" Hongmei said.

Dabai got out of bed and came to the table, Hongmei brought over three small bowls of vegetables, plus two bowls of white rice.

A bowl of stewed beef brisket with potatoes, a bowl of soft and rotten pig's trotters, and a bowl of green cabbage hearts.

"Is this dish cooked by Lao Hong? It looks good. It's fragrant and spicy, which makes people very appetizing!"

After Dabai had a panoramic view of the three bowls of dishes in front of him, his eyes lit up and he saw hope again.

Hongmei pouted, "What, I burned it!"

"What? Did you cook it? Your culinary skills are getting better every day!" Dabai said.

Hongmei smiled: "It's specially made for you, I know you like this taste."

Dabai put a little bit in every dish to taste, and gave Hongmei a thumbs up again.

"How about you come to be the chef? Hey, no, no, you are three months pregnant, so you can't be troubled!"

Dabai quickly dismissed this idea.

Hongmei picked up the chopsticks and ate with him.

Dabai looked at the hourglass on the table again, and said, "Why is the hall downstairs so quiet at this hour?"

Hongmei shook her head: "It's been like this for the past few days, and there is no business at night. At night, three or five customers came to order a few bowls of noodles. Later, I didn't seem to have any business, so I asked them to close early It’s gone, so you don’t have to procrastinate for too long, and you need to burn wax to light the lamp!”

Dabai secretly sighed.

When the business was booming a while ago, how could you care about those wax oils?
This is really a sad story!
"Close it when it's closed, eat, eat first, and after dinner, I'll show you something!" Dabai said.

"What? Show me now, can't you?" Hongmei said.

But Dabai smiled mysteriously, "Eat first, and I'll show you later, it's a little surprise!"
