Mantra

Chapter 183
Facing my question, Zhao Shuihe was vague. She said her brother was Zhao Shuirong, one of the internal backbones of Su Zizuo. Zhao Shuihe didn't know who the enemy Su Zizuo was currently facing.

"You don't know either?" I frowned.

Zhao Shuihe shook his head indifferently and said: "My brother seldom tells me about Su Zi's internal affairs, and I don't inquire too much. Knowing more may not be a good thing."

I gave a wry smile, quite helpless to Zhao Shuihe's answer.I don't know who Zhao Shuirong is, and I can't find out what Su Zi's movements are. It seems that the two ancestors' temple cooks are really good at keeping secrets.

Moreover, I have heard that Su Zizuo of Lianghuai also likes the "secrecy" system very much. They have very little communication with the outside world, and they can even be called "insulated".

After all, Su Zizuo is a sect that arose in Huaiyang in modern times. Because he lives as a guest, it is not suitable to start a business in the temple of the two ancestors in Huaiyang where there are many sects. He is afraid of being caught and discriminated against. It is also necessary to be careful.

But their carefulness made me even more unable to trust Zhao Shuihe, because her appearance was too sudden and weird. This little girl's film might be a pawn Su Zizuo placed beside me, and she would appear at any time. "General" my army.

In view of this, I must find a reason to get rid of her, at least... I can't let her follow me to Guizhou.

So, I turned my face and smiled, and asked Zhao Shuihe, "Shuihe? Do you want to do it with me?"

Zhao Shuihe nodded and said: "Think about it! Let me do anything, and I can also do red case craftsmanship. Huaiyang Xiaochao Wensi Soup, Sanding Baozi Yangzhou Noodles, everything is no worse than you."

What she said gave me an idea!Since she is so capable and interested in working here, why don't I go with the flow
"You have such a good craftsmanship, why are you doing a red case!"

I slapped my thigh, and flattered Zhao Shuihe as if I had discovered the "New World": "Shuihe, you Suzi are the 'Mianban Wushuang', and you have learned to make dim sum and dishes since you were a child. A talented person like you is too famous to be a red case." Quite talented."

Every sentence I said tickled Zhao Shuihe's heart, and I felt blushed when I was flattered.

Zhao Shuihe smiled like a flower, and she asked with a look of pride and anticipation: "You still know the goods, much better than my brother, he only let me do the lotus... Then what do you want me to do?"

I chuckled, pointed to the restaurant outside the aisle and said, "You are the proprietress!"

Following my words, Zhao Shuihe stopped laughing, and she let out a strange cry, then took a step back, shielded her chest, and scolded me: "You shameless! I won't be an adult in three months! I'm an adult!" You won't marry my great-grandson!"

Listening to Zhao Shuihe's words, I immediately realized that I had said the wrong thing, and under the heat all over, I wished I could find a crack in the ground and get down.

Why can't you speak...

During Zhao Shuihe's hysterical rage, I stayed with her again and again, and at the same time quickly told her what I meant in detail.

In fact, my meaning is also very simple, that is, let Zhao Shuihe and Ah Si help me take care of the store while Wang Hou and I are going to Guizhou, and don't let my Bayi Hotel go out of business.

And this is what I think from the bottom of my heart.

After all, I rented the storefront of this restaurant, and the annual rent is more than 2 yuan. If it does not open, it will only have to pay for it.

Half a year ago, because of the free-eating Gu incident, we had already taken a break for a month. If we had to take a break for a month this time because we went to Guizhou, then I really can't afford it.

Zhao Shuihe is a ready-made craftsman. Since she wants to work here, let her take over for a while. Anyway, I can't cook any high-end dishes. She is an authentic craftsman from the Two Ancestor Temple, and she can deal with this small restaurant. , Isn't it the same as playing.

After listening to my words, Grandma Zhao suddenly realized that she was not very happy. She shook her head and said, "You guys go to Guizhou for adventure and fun, and leave me at home to guard the door. I won't do it!"

She doesn't do it?I knew this little girl would say that.

With confidence in mind, I smiled slightly and advised Zhao Shuihe: "Shuihe, let's put this question aside for now. Let me ask you something. Do you know why everyone calls you Dahe girl?"

Dahe is the second humblest job among cooks, and is responsible for some small and trivial matters. If a chef is called Dahe, it must mean that he cannot be the leader, and he cannot be alone.

For this, Zhao Shuihe said with a full face: "Because you all look down on me! You think I am young, so my craftsmanship is not good! I can only do lotus."

"No! It's not that your skills are bad!" I immediately told Zhao Shuihe, "It's because your skills are flawed. Among the three basic skills of knife, fire, and kung fu, you are short of one 'skill'."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Shuihe refused to accept it: "I practiced fingers at the age of three, and learned 'kneading noodles' at the age of six. I am proficient in all three skills of noodles, fire, and kung fu! Will the basic skills be poor? It's ridiculous."

"You do not believe?"

"Do not believe!"

"Let me tell you something?"

"I'll do whatever you want. You go to Guizhou to play, and I'll guard the shop."

"Okay!" As I spoke, I told Zhao Shuihe what I had been holding back for a long time.

In ancient times, cooks from the Wuzang Temple attributed their catering skills to the three characters of knife, fire, and skill. These three words are common to cooks in both red and white cases. Only in modern times, the chefs in the white case replaced the word "knife" with "noodles". , changed to the three words of noodles, fire, and work.

In fact, whether it is a knife or a noodle, these three words have the same meaning, and they all refer to the kung fu on the knives (noodles), the kung fu on the stove and the kung fu on the heart.

Therefore, knife, fire, and gong can also be called knife, fire, heart, and "knife fire heart" is also the three-character mantra of the cooks of Wuzang Temple.

In the three-character mantra, sword and fire can be quantified, but heart (gong) can only be achieved through the accumulation of increasingly perfect experience, it is impossible to achieve it all at once, let alone avoid it.

Therefore, no matter how good the skills are when they are born, and how high their background is, in order to hone their "heart skills", they will definitely start from the most basic handyman, from the water table, to the lotus, to the fire head, and climb up step by step. Only by accumulating and practicing a little bit in the daily restaurant business can one be confident in one's mind and take the position of a chef.

At this point, I said regretfully: "What you, Zhao Shuihe, lack is 'experience'! Right now, I will hand over the hotel to you, which is a great opportunity for experience."

What I said really moved Zhao Shuihe's heart, and she said excitedly with golden eyes: "Really? Don't lie to me! What can a restaurant in a small county town do!"

I smiled treacherously in my heart, "dialed" him and said, "Don't underestimate this county restaurant!"

I continued to tell Zhao Shuihe: "You saw it when you came here! My Bayi Restaurant has Shaxian snacks on the left, Datong sliced ​​noodles on the right, Huangshan steamed stuffed buns in the front, and a pedicure room in the back! Yes Watching like a tiger, there are so many masters! If you compete with them with me, you will definitely improve rapidly..."

...Under my nonsense and slashing, Zhao Shuihe finally agreed, and in order to stabilize her, I specially reserved [-] floating funds.

I further promised: "As long as you can keep your capital, all the money you earn will be yours after you come back! From now on, you will be the boss's wife, and you will be the boss's wife when you are underage. How face-saving!"

Under Chunchun's instruction, Zhao Shuihe fully agreed to my request, and by doing so, I was finally able to stabilize her.

Now that I have no worries, I only have to persuade Wang Hou to eliminate the barriers, and prepare to go to Guizhou with Xian Hongye and Lin Shaosong to find out.
