Chapter 204
Zhao Meng injured his wrist, and Fu Yu took all the ordering orders here.
Gu Yunwu was originally scheduled to participate in an interview with the provincial TV station today, but the reporter of the program happened to call to inform him that the recording time had been postponed because the station had to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
So Yao Shi and Gu Yunwu both stayed in the kitchen.
During dinner time in the evening, business in the store is booming.
The order sheets were handed over one after another, and Fu Yu never stopped cooking from the moment he started cooking.
Sun Qingning was helping the cook beside him, and he admired who designed this light green floral apron.
The two orders were cooked crosswise, and when the last dish was served, a new order was handed over.
According to the order of rounds, this order will be taken by Fu Yu.
But the ordering clerk took the order and went directly to Yao Shi.
"Chef Yao, the customer who ordered this order said he wants to see you for an interview."
Yao Shi was stunned, turned around and asked, "Did you tell me what happened?"
The orderer said: "He said his surname is Tang, and he was sitting in box 209 talking with our boss."
When Yao Shi heard the boss, he was a little startled and nodded: "I'll have the pot ready in three minutes, and I'll be there soon."
The ordering clerk agreed and handed the order to Yao Shi.
Yao Shi took it and took a look, frowning slightly.
There is only one simple line on the ordering list, old-fashioned and authentic three-course meal.
This is not one dish, nor three portions of rice, but a whole table.
Yao Shi frowned slightly, and moved his hands faster. He waited for the dishes in the pot to be put on the plate, and then briefly decorated them before handing them over to the orderer, and then hurried to box 209.
Entering the box, Yao Shi saw Dong Juntian sitting there, chatting and laughing with a fair and fat middle-aged man in a familiar manner.
Compared with Dong Juntian, the middle-aged man looks more lively and has a very capable look.
On a hot day, he was wearing a well-fitting casual suit. The watch on his wrist was exactly the same as the one Yao Shi bought last month. It was six to less than seven digits, so it was considered a high-end luxury product.
The two of them seemed to be talking and joking in a casual manner, so they must have a good relationship.
Yao Shi was surprised to find that he had never seen the person in front of him.
Looking at the whole of Bei'an, there seems to be no such person.
Dong Juntian smiled and greeted Yao Shi: "Come on, Yao Shi, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tang, Tang Jian, the owner of Jiuhua Hotel. Mr. Tang, this is the chef of our restaurant, Yao Shi."
Tang Jian took the initiative to shake hands with Yao Shi and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Yao!"
Jiuhua Hotel is a chain hotel in the provincial capital. It operates very well. It has branches in fifteen major cities in the province, including one in each of the four districts of Bei'an.
Yao Shi shook hands with Tang Jian calmly, guessing in his mind that Tang Jian was most likely here to order a meal, and the banquet was for three courses.
Chollima's three-course meal is really not the restaurant's specialty.
This table of dishes was left over from the chef Guo who worked in the back kitchen when Chollima first opened.
The old man came to Bei'an from out of town to visit relatives. After living there for a long time, he felt bored. By chance, he applied for the position of chef at Qianlima.
Chef Guo has superb cooking skills and can cook many special dishes.
Yao Shi had a good rapport with Master Guo at that time and learned a lot of cooking skills.
Even this banquet was taught by Master Guo to Yao Shi, and later it was slowly promoted in the store.
However, Chollima is a restaurant that specializes in seafood after all, so the chance of this set of dishes being ordered is not high.
On the contrary, after he was attracted to the music restaurant later, it was renamed Jinyumantang and listed as a mid-range restaurant. The three-course meal became prosperous.
In Bei'an, if a knowledgeable person mentions three-course meal, he will definitely go directly to the music restaurant. Why come to Qianlima instead?
But if you don’t know how to do it, how can you accurately point out this set of seats?
Yao Shi couldn't help but glance at Tang Jian.
At this time, Tang Jian also revealed the purpose of his coming today: "I came here today because I want to change the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet I booked before. I have been in the provincial capital and haven't come back, so my wife is here in my hometown.
She brought her children back to visit relatives first, but she ended up booking a table on her own initiative, which made me angry!"
"You said this is the festival. Instead of ordering an authentic New Year's set meal, you made some kind of seafood hodgepodge and innovative harvest stew. Those things are okay to eat at ordinary times. How can anyone eat these when the whole family is reunited?"
Dong Juntian smiled: "Actually, these dishes ordered by your sister-in-law are really the specialties of our store, and they are quite festive when put together."
Tang Jian sighed: "That's not what you are saying... As you know, my parents have been conservative all their lives and wish they could go through all twenty-four solar terms in a year! How can they be so traditional?
Can you accept this?"
"Besides, we live in a provincial capital, and we finally found time to come back and spend the holidays with the elderly. Why can't we satisfy them? If you really want to eat these dishes, you can just book a table before leaving.
Why do we have to prepare a table of spicy fried seafood as a side dish just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"Besides, your sister-in-law has never been reliable in doing things. Do you think she could place an order for such a table of dishes if she just thought about it? Isn't this going to cause trouble for my parents!"
Dong Juntian nodded and said: "Indeed, my uncle and aunt will not be very satisfied, but you have to understand my sister-in-law to a certain extent."
"My sister-in-law is also from Bei'an. She often came to the restaurant to eat in the past. She must have wanted to order the dishes that she enjoys and let you guys try them too. The fact that my sister-in-law wants to come here to help order the noodles has already explained
She really thinks about you!"
Outsiders don't know, but Dong Juntian knows how much Tang Jian loves his second wife, who is nearly twenty years younger than him.
If he really dares to say something bad about his sister-in-law now, if it reaches the ears of the other party later, it is estimated that the relationship between him and Tang Jian, which has become a bit unfamiliar due to lack of contact, should be completely resolved.
broken.
Tang Jian shook his head: "Old Dong, you run this restaurant. I won't say anything, but it's just a matter of one size. I came here today just to change this table. See if you can give it to me.
Adjust it. Don’t worry about money. I’ll pay according to the price. I also know that making these three dishes is really troublesome and time-consuming. There will definitely be many customers in your store during the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.
It's too busy. How about this? We won't be in a hurry to serve our table later. You can wait for other customers to come and take the time to finish cooking our table. How about that?"
Yao Shi was stunned. This customer entered the store. If he was not in a hurry to be served, he couldn't just wait for it, right?
Moreover, it is said that all the tables have been filled in the time, so if it gets really busy later and the waiting time is long, is it possible that the order will not be pushed?
