Starting A Restaurant in Old Days Chapter 8

When saying goodbye to the Su family, Sophie Pan was still a little reluctant.

Even her sisters were a little surprised.

Sophie Pan has never behaved like a girl since she was young. She is as wild as a monkey.

Only grandma can suppress this little monkey.

But she had an extraordinary liking and dependence on Henry Su, who had just woken up not long ago.

But...when the two sisters saw the suspicious sparkle on the corners of Sophie Pan's mouth, they seemed to understand something.

...

The scenery in the town is very different from that in the countryside.

Looking around, most people's clothes are black, gray, blue and green.

Dust was occasionally raised on the street, making the whole scene look gray.

But the people walking on every street have a unique look of the times, walking with their heads held high and full of energy.

It seems much better than the workers in later generations who work overtime every day and soak wolfberries in thermos cups.

Henry Su retracted his gaze and walked into the state-owned hotel.

"Knock knock."

At the counter window, a burly aunt glanced at Henry Su and pointed at the time on the wooden board unhappily:

"The door opens at ten. You're early."

Henry Su has a handsome face, clear eyes, and a big white smile, "It's late, sister. I'm here to report to work."

Big sister?

This guy has a really sweet mouth.

Chen Meilan looked at Henry Su again, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

She called out to the kitchen, "Master Li, Master Xiaolin, the new chef is here!"

"Boom!"

All I heard was the sound of "dong dong dong" hitting the chopping board, and then it stopped with a snap.

Through the small window, you can vaguely see the kitchen knife stuck on the chopping board.

The curtain was opened, and two fat men with protruding bellies walked out.

The leader was short and had a rather unfriendly look on his face.

He wiped his hands with a towel, took the envelope from Henry Su, and then smiled meaningfully.

He pulled the skin on his face and said, "I just happen to be short of someone in the kitchen. Come over here."

What Michael He mentioned at the beginning was the position of chef in a state-owned restaurant.

But now... this state-owned restaurant obviously has a chef.

Henry Su glanced at the short and fat man, said nothing, and walked to the kitchen.

"Bang."

A basin of water and a pile of vegetables.

"From now on, you will be responsible for picking and washing vegetables, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Henry Su seemed to react at this time, "That's not what the letter said..."

"Tsk!" Oscar Li glanced at Henry Su, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his fat face:

"Kid, now that you're in my territory, I don't care how arrogant you are outside. If you want to make a living here, you have to follow my instructions."

At this time, the head chef of a state-owned hotel was equivalent to a master chef.

When a disciple sees his master, shouldn't he be cautious and respectful?

Henry Su looked at Oscar Li, then looked at Master Kobayashi next to him who was not surprised.

This is probably another trap set by Michael He.

Prepare to let him jump.

Although if you work in a state-owned restaurant, you will have to work as a vegetable cutter for three years first.

But the problem is that Michael He originally agreed to give him the position of chef in the hotel.

The salary levels are different!

After thinking for a while, Henry Su put his hands in his pockets, rolled up his white shirt loosely, and looked a bit nonchalant.

"You know Michael He, right?"

When Oscar Li heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and a gleam of light flashed across them.

But he looked a little impatient, "What Michael He, Li Michael He, I don't understand what you are talking about! Anyway, I have the final say here! Now wash the vegetables for me quickly! Otherwise, you will never learn any of my Li family's knife skills recipes in the future."

With this carrot and stick approach, ordinary people might really be fooled.

But for Henry Su...

But forget it!

He took a look at the diced radish tops and pork belly buns that Oscar Li had made earlier.

These buns have one thing in common.

The problem is that the bun skin always breaks and it doesn’t look very good.

In this day and age, having meat to eat is already an extremely luxurious enjoyment, and almost no one would dislike a meat bun that does not look good.

But in Henry Su's opinion, Oscar Li's level is not as good as his.

At least he knew that radish is very watery, so if he wanted to ensure that the bun skin would not break during the steaming process, he had to put enough filling to prop up the bun skin and leave a gap in the folds of the bun.

Henry Su said with a smile, "I wonder if you guys have missed the point? I have the leverage over Michael He now. He is the one begging me, not me begging him. You are targeting me. If I make a mistake one day and expose this, you, Michael He, and Lily Deng will all have a hard time."

"I'm not afraid of anything anyway. At worst I can go back to the countryside to farm. I won't starve to death anyway. But what about you? If you get implicated by Michael He and lose your stable job, that would be bad..."

Oscar Li looked at the boy deeply.

It just feels tricky.

But it is undeniable that he was shaken in his original plan because of Henry Su's words.

Oscaryuan was just Michael He's drinking buddy. It was nonsense to say that he truly worked for him.

Why bother?

Working wholeheartedly for Michael He will not only do no good, but will actually cause harm.

It would be better to fool both sides and try to smooth things over.

In a short period of time, Oscar Li's mind raced and he had made a decision.

He glanced at Henry Su indifferently, said nothing, walked to the big stove at the side, and left the space for the second stove empty.

Henry Su immediately smiled, "Master Li, please give me more advice."

Oscar Li glanced at the boy and turned his head away.

This kid is cunning and troublesome.

It’s better to stay away from it.

However, Master Xiaolin took advantage of Oscar Li's inattention and secretly gave Henry Su a thumbs up.

He dared to tease his master and yet escaped unscathed.

This new master is awesome!

After dealing with the master chef, the next step is to follow the procedures.

By the time I got all the certificates and letters of recommendation ready, the time was almost up.

Henry Su stood in the back kitchen, washed up, then stuck his head out and read the words on the small wooden board.

The dishes served today are: braised pork, cold-mixed wood ear and day Lily Deng, steamed buns with pork belly and radish tops, and fried bacon with garlic chives.

There are three meaty dishes!

He looked in the direction where Oscar Li was.

Master Kobayashi was still chopping vegetables and washing black fungus.

Although Oscar Li's buns were not very good, he still looked calm and composed like a chef.

When frying sugar color in a big pot, it feels like it's done with ease.

From this point of view, Henry Su only needs to stir-fry garlic shoots and bacon.

He didn't rush to make a big dish like braised pork. He washed the kitchen knife, took the bacon, and looked at it carefully.

The bacon you get is a mixture of lean and fat. The lean meat is dark red, and the fat is translucent and shiny, faintly exuding the unique oily luster of fat. During the pickling process, it is smoked with pine and cypress wood, exuding the fragrance of fruit wood.

The most important thing is that this bacon is the best quality farm-raised pork, not the so-called feed pork of later generations.

The signing process is finally ready, everyone can rest assured to follow

I didn't sleep well last night, and I accidentally took a nap at noon, so I posted late, sorry sorry
