Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 456 Extra Story 4 First Encounter with Xia Houyuan

"Old man, did you just sell the previous patents?" Wang Yong looked at the old shopkeeper.

"If you don't bring it when you die, don't take it with you when you die!" The old shop owner walked forward slowly with Wang Yong's support. Since yesterday, he has not been able to walk easily. He said he wanted to buy him a wheelchair, but he said no, it was a waste of money.

Paused, took a breath, and continued: "A few recipes, all of which happened many years ago. Nowadays, not many people use these recipes, and there are only a few patent fees a year, which is not worth mentioning. .It’s better to sell it for some money and buy some supplies.”

"Didn't I say that the supplied materials were processed? Basically, nothing was invested. What are you afraid of?" Wang Yong retorted.

"Before everything is on the right track, the family always has to stockpile some food. In this way, if there is a problem, there will be a period of time to ensure that the food will not be cut off. Besides, although the price of food is not changing three times a day, it is slowly rising. You can earn more by selling some food in the future. But the money from selling the patents this time... has other uses..." The old shopkeeper said slowly.

Then he pointed to an alley ahead and said, "Take me there, I want to meet someone!"

Wang Yong is very strange, who can he see in a dark alley?He didn't help the old man, but found that in the dark alley, there was a person sitting there, who seemed to realize that someone was coming, and immediately looked at the two of them warily.

"Hei San!" The old shopkeeper looked at Hei Ying, "I need ten nurses, don't look for the old ones!"

"Business is welcome, of course! I don't know how we can help you?" Hei Ying immediately asked obsequiously after hearing the words.

"Here's the money, and ten nurses will come to my store in three days. There is a restaurant, understand? Bring some ingredients, just say that you want to process them, don't be too shabby, at least bring some corn and vegetables. Yes. After eating, say a few nice words for three days!" said the old shopkeeper.

"Just this amount of money, it's not enough!" Hei Ying picked up the money, touched it, and shook his head.

"Nonsense, you eat and drink for nothing for three days, what do you think?" The old shop owner did not budge.

"No need to pay for the meal?" Soi Ying tried to ask.

"Didn't understand?" The old shopkeeper snorted coldly, "For incoming materials processing, just collect some scraps, and you don't need to give anything else!"

"So..." Soi Ying said, "That's fine, and, I guess this is the last time I do business with you, right?"

"Of course!" The old man pointed to Wang Yong beside him, "He will be the owner of the shop from now on, and he will decide everything about the shop!"

Hei Ying smiled and didn't speak. He knew that the old shop owner must be very clear about what he meant.But since he answered this way, he obviously didn't want the young man beside him to know.

"Is he your relative?" Soi Ying tried to ask.

"My grandson, do you have any objections?" The old shopkeeper took a cane and knocked on the ground to express his dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay!" Heiying smiled, "Your grandson, just your grandson! Boss Wang, if you need it in the future, please help me a lot! I usually take customers here, there is no special situation, you can find me here !"

"Remember, his name is Hei San, you can find him for black work, he is good at some shady things!" The old shopkeeper pointed to Hei Ying, "But it's usually fine, don't talk to him, these people can't talk about you I don’t even know if the pit is gone.”

"Old shopkeeper, if you say that, I will be wronged! Hei San'er has been in this business for so many years, how can I owe you?" Hei Ying retorted.

"That's me being careful! You don't know what's going on with you?" The old man signaled Wang Yong to take him away, "Remember what you told me! I'm old, but I can always find a way to deal with you!"

"Just because you are the royal chef of the imperial court, we dare not offend you even if you carry the word 'front'!" Hei San smiled obsequiously, not daring to offend you.Don't look at the candle in the wind, he is alive for a day, and his connections are here. It is indeed not something they can deal with.

"Having said that..." After walking out of the alley, the old shopkeeper sighed, "I can't leave all my connections to you. Shop, you have to take good care of them, unless you already have a better way to live and work." Land, do you understand? As for the others, I guess this is the only way to go!"

"Grandson knows..." Wang Yong was a little moved. In fact, he has seen it in his eyes these few days. The old shop owner is paving the way for him. It is a person who has only known him for a few days. It is fleshy, can you not be moved?

The next day, Wang Yong directly put out the sign of 'processing with supplied materials' and started to attract customers.It's just that most of the guests, ordinary people, can't afford restaurants; the rich ones, after looking at the layout of the restaurant, are not interested; so they stood outside for two hours, but couldn't attract anyone.

"Got it? Others know how to watch people go to restaurants. You don't have anything on your chest. Of course, others won't come to you casually. Or, if you have time next month, you can take the junior chef exam. At least you can It’s more convenient if you have a qualification.” The old shopkeeper was sitting in the shop, his words were a little weak.

"Oh, I see..." Only then did Wang Yong realize that business in this world is not as simple as imagined.That's right, future generations who apply for a chef in a big restaurant must also have a chef's certificate.Qualifications and certificates are very important no matter what era.

"But soon, your guests will come!" The old shopkeeper smiled, and the time was almost up.

At this time, three people in ordinary clothes came to the store to have a look, and then said to Wang Yong: "You can process materials here, can't you? How do you charge money?!"

The voice of the speaker was loud, which also attracted some passers-by. It happened to be meal time, and many people actually planned to find a place to eat.No, when I heard this person say that, I looked over curiously.

"Everyone can provide the materials, and I will cook. As for the processing fee, the leftovers of the main materials are free!" Wang Yong immediately stepped forward and replied loudly.He knew in his heart that this was a babysitter hired by the old shop owner!
"Alright, we happen to have some corn and some vegetables on us, how about making a bowl of vegetable soup?" The leader held up the bag in his hand and a handful of vegetables.

"It's easy to say, please come in!" Wang Yong stepped aside and motioned for the other party to come in.Then take the other party's ingredients and start cooking.

The people watching around, some left, some were thoughtful, and although they all left in the end, the old shopkeeper knew very well that the direction of the wind had changed!Some people will come back later!

On Wang Yong's side, the soup was boiled over a fire, and the soup was rotten and mushy. As for the green vegetables, he also chopped them finely, and then boiled them in water before starting to boil them. It took a full two quarters of an hour to adjust the seasoning and put in two Rice wine, out of the pot.

"Green vegetable soup, please use it slowly!" Wang Yong took out the porcelain basin full of vegetable soup.As for leftovers, I asked for half of the vegetables and half of the rice, which was not too much, just enough for firewood, oil, salt and rice wine.

"Not bad, very fragrant, the owner is young, I didn't expect to be able to cook!" The leader smelled it, and then motioned for everyone to eat.The process of eating is very slow, almost chewing slowly, but it looks like it is delicious.

Seeing this, people outside all swallowed their saliva one after another, then quickened their pace and left.

Not immediately, other people came over, and they also took some food and asked for processing.Seeing that there was a real guest, Wang Yong greeted him immediately, and then started to get busy.

At the end of the day, I processed incoming materials four or five times and made a lot of leftovers.Wang Yong sent the earned materials to the old shop owner, showing off: "How about it, is it okay?"

"You would think... I'm relieved..." The old shopkeeper smiled, then tilted his head.From that moment on, he has never been able to open his eyes again.

Wang Yong found a letter in his room that night, which should be regarded as a will.Inside, he explained all his funeral affairs. This old guy had already invited Master House to help him bury him.The letter is full of instructions to reassure him and let him concentrate on doing things and opening the store, saying that the three-day childcare should not be wasted...

It's not without requirements, the main thing is to observe filial piety for him for three days, and don't suspend business, otherwise it is unfilial.How did this old guy go so fast?Wang Yong wanted to cry very much, really wanted to cry, recognized a godfather, hadn't been filial for a few days, gone!
In the next three days, Wanshiwu came and dragged the old shop owner out for burial. The coffin and everything had been prepared, and the process was decent, at least not wrapped in a straw mat and buried.

There are no funerary objects either. It is said that since Cao Cao organized the Mojin school lieutenant and Faqiu Zhonglang general, who would dare to bury him generously?Wang Yong also knew about this period of history, so he didn't force it!
He just silently wore white filial piety, kept filial piety for the old shop owner, and put incense on his spirit seat.Then, according to his instructions, the business opened every day, after three days of babysitting, those who came to the door on the fourth day were no longer babysitters, but regular customers.

Yes, there is a restaurant in his house, and there are already regular customers!Regular customers bring new customers, eating is no longer a problem!
This is not the fifth day, he is still the same as usual, he gets up early, cleans, exercises, and then goes out to open the door, clean, and welcome guests.As soon as he went out, he saw a man and a woman coming out from the opposite yamen from a distance, walking towards him.

The woman was quite heroic, with a sense of fighting and killing intent pervading her body, well hidden, but still vaguely detectable.But basically, people who see her will be attracted by her other two prominent points, while ignoring other things.

Men can be regarded as handsome, or handsome, with a well-proportioned body, but they are definitely not fit.He also has killing intent and fighting intent on his body, but it is not as good as a woman's, especially, she is more or less a bitch.

"Sister, I'm going to date my boyfriend later, so I finally have a day off, can I not go shopping with you?" The man took out a handkerchief and played with it carefully.

"Take back that handkerchief of yours, it's disgusting to look at!" The woman looked unhappy, "Our Xiahou family has such a good tutor, why did you get that kind of problem? If you are like this, what will our family do in the future?!"

"What does it matter if you marry a woman or have descendants? Love, love is the most precious thing in this world! As for descendants, it's enough to adopt one in the clan?" the man said with a resolute expression.

"No, I can't afford to lose this person!" The woman directly retorted, "I brought you out today to bring you to meet some of my best friends and some daughters of the Zhencheng family. -Who sees eye to eye with you?"

"Sister, you know that I'm not interested in women! Besides, my boyfriend is also very considerate and gentle..." The man picked up the handkerchief with a loving look on his face.

"That guy with heavy make-up, pointing at the orchid with a disgusting look?" The woman retorted directly.

"Others are feminine and beautiful, with that body shape, that demeanor, and that gentle personality..." The man became intoxicated.

"Stop talking!" The woman snatched the handkerchief and threw it out, "Forget about him, marry me a decent woman!"

"Sister, how could you do this? Does trampling on a love make you so happy?" The man shook his head with a sad look, "By the way, you are actually the eldest sister, so you shouldn't find a good husband first." Did you come to me after you got married?!"

"I, I, I... I'm still young, so it's okay to remarry 20 years later... You can't do it, even if you go back to the old age, you only have a lifespan of seven or eighty years. What if you don't get married soon?!" The woman quickly retorted.

"Hmph... sophistry!" The man was very dissatisfied, and was about to bend down to pick up the handkerchief, but he didn't expect that another figure had already bent down and picked up the handkerchief.

This handkerchief happened to fall beside Wang Yong. Seeing it, he picked it up casually, handed it back, and asked with a smile, "Is this your handkerchief? Here it is!"

The latter looked at Wang Yong, took the handkerchief silently, but stood there in a daze, motionless.Wang Yong didn't know why, anyway, the things had already been returned, so he turned around and went back to the store to start cleaning.

"What's wrong?" The woman shook the man, always feeling a little bad.

"Sister!" The man clenched the handkerchief in his hand, "I seem to have met a lover who really made me pursue it all my life! Yes, I fell in love at first sight, and my heart skipped a beat, even when I was with my boyfriend. , never! I like him, I want to marry him! No, no, I can marry him!"

"It's over...my little brother is over..." The woman only felt a headache, and it was okay to play with a few so-called 'boyfriends' before.Depending on the situation this time, this guy is playing for real!Now, is it true that the Xiahou family's direct descendants are going to be extinct? !
Really can't do it, I can only marry, and then give birth to a daughter for the direct line, as the heir... The woman looked at the man who was busy in the shop, and complained very unhappy: But she will definitely not choose him like that!Absolutely not!
