"Come, let me have a drink with some visitors from far away places. I wish you a happy time here and good food and drink."
Yang Guanjun held up his wine with a smile.
His business was good today, and Zhang Wentao and others arrived too late, so he roasted all the unsold goods.
Thanks to Xie Zhiyao, he supports his brother.
As soon as the baking was finished, he sat down with a glass of home-brewed wine and chatted with everyone before closing the stall.
Several girls laughed and clinked glasses with Yang Guanjun. Every other man present drank a lot of drinks and did not drink alcohol at all.
"Well, why don't you drink? Why is it that today's roast is not good and it doesn't suit your taste?" Yang Guanjun was a little dissatisfied when he saw that the three big men were holding up drinks.
Zhang Wentao smiled and shook the mineral water in his hand, and said to Yang Guanjun: "I have a bad stomach and the doctor won't let me drink."
"I ate too much, Brother Champion. I'll vomit in your place after I drink too much. I'll have to trouble you to clean it up then," Hu Youyu said.
"I..." Xie Zhiyao looked at Zhang Wentao and Hu Youyu speechlessly, realizing that such a trivial matter had been calculated, so he said: "I want to drink the cherry wine made by my grandma, but I can't get used to it.
"
"What?"
Yang Guanjun was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, you usually drink the wine here, but now you say you can’t get used to it? Who are you talking to?
"Yeah." When Xu Hongdou heard the cherry wine, he immediately smiled and said: "Then you go back and get some, I want to drink it too. Nana, let me tell you, the cherry wine made from Xie's milk is very sweet, and you can also try it from barley.
taste."
"Ah?" Xie Zhiyao was confused. He looked at Xu Hongdou, then Nana and Damai, and had to stand up and said, "Okay, you guys wait for me for a while, I'll go back and get it."
As soon as he took a few steps away, Xu Hongdou covered her mouth and laughed.
Nana, Damai, and Yang Guanjun also had a good time, and even gave Xu Hongdou a thumbs-up gesture.
At the scene, only Zhang Wentao, who was concentrating on eating skewers, and Hu Youyu, who was rubbing his belly, did not laugh.
"By the way, Lao Hu, where did you take Zhang Wentao to play today?" After laughing for a while, Xu Hongdou asked Hu Youyu curiously.
"I just went to Xizhou, and then went to a fusion restaurant in the town for dinner." Hu Youyu looked at Xu Hongdou and asked himself, very happy. When he saw Xu Hongdou, he asked for WeChat several times.
Unexpectedly, the other party now takes the initiative to talk to him. For him, it can be regarded as a zero breakthrough.
"Xizhou? Is it the Xizhou of Xizhou dada?"
Xu Hongdou was a little curious. She hadn't played much since she came here. The main reason was that she wasn't very interested in artificial attractions, and she was lazy and liked to lie down.
"Well, it tastes terrible, so don't go."
Hearing Xizhou Baba, Zhang Wentao couldn't help but complain.
"Where is it? I think it's delicious." After Nana finished speaking, she looked at Damai: "Have you tried it? What do you think?"
"I'm similar to Brother Wen Tao, I don't like him very much." Damai said timidly. Although she is socially afraid, she is an honest child.
"That may be because you are not used to it. In fact, there are two types of Xizhou Baba: sweet and salty. Maybe what you eat today is not the taste you like." Yang Guanjun explained.
Zhang Wentao thought about it and realized that he did eat something sweet today, but this is all in the past and not important.
It turns out that I am not the only one who doesn’t like eating.
Seeing everyone nodding in approval, Yang Guanjun also felt that the people living in the courtyard were very friendly, so he said: "The taste of this food varies from person to person, and it is difficult to adjust to everyone's taste. It's like my skewers.
, some people like to add more chili, some like to add more salt, and some don't like to add condiments. But I am flexible, I will make it according to your taste when baking. Xizhou Baba is always made in advance
Once it's baked, if you want to add less salt or something, they won't be able to cook it for you separately if they don't have time."
"Hey, it's true." Xu Hongdou agreed with this point of view and said: "Take our ZB as an example. The skewers we have there are just giving you a small stove. The store will bake them for you until they are almost cooked, and the rest
You can bake it, and you can add seasonings according to your own taste."
"Hongdou, are you from Shandong? ZB, I don't think I've heard of it." Hu Youyu said with a smile.
"Well, I'm from ZB. Our city is small and a third-tier city. Next to it are Qingdao and Xuzhou. It's normal if you haven't heard of it." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.
Seeing that Nana, Damai, and Zhang Wentao were not surprised that Xu Hongdou was from ZB, Hu Youyu thought for a moment that maybe they had talked about it at the last party in the courtyard.
Yang Guanjun and he were the only ones present who didn't know.
Thinking of BJ, Hu Youyu still longed to go there and try to break through, but he didn't have the confidence, so he said: "Then you are really awesome. You have been working hard in BJ for so many years."
"What am I doing? Zhang Wentao's family belongs to BJ, and one of us who works in BJ is Beidiao." Xu Hongdou laughed at himself. The place where he has worked hard for so many years, and the money he earned through hard work, in the end
I can't even afford a kitchen or even a toilet in that city, which makes me feel a little lonely.
"Understand, it's difficult to do anything now. It's not easy for us in our hometown, and it's even harder for you in first-tier cities. Just like us, Ayao, we used to do angel investment when we were in BJ, and the salary and bonus were not low. Now we come back
I’ve invested a lot in the past few years, but I haven’t seen any money back.”
After Yang Guanjun finished speaking, he shook his head.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively."
Xie Zhiyao came back in a hurry, holding two bottles of cherry wine in his hand. Seeing that the people were chatting very noisily, he was afraid that they were talking about Ayuan, so he asked quickly.
"Scared me, I'm telling you it's not easy for you." Yang Guanjun turned around and looked at Xie Zhiyao and said.
"Here, Hongdou, the cherry wine you asked for, these two bottles are yours."
When Xie Zhiyao heard that they were not talking about A Yuan, he felt relieved and handed Xu Hongdou the cherry wine in his hand, asking her to share it with Nana and Damai.
"Thank you." After watching Xu Hongdou pour herself a glass, Damai continued the topic just now. She had specifically observed that Zhang Wentao had been focusing on eating and didn't even say much.
I felt that Zhang Wentao's sense of presence was too low, so I asked: "Brother Wen Tao, when you live abroad, are you the same as Sister Hongdou, who is very aggrieved and uncomfortable?"
As soon as these words came out, several people present immediately turned their attention to Zhang Wentao. They saw him holding the meat skewers, shrugging his shoulders and saying:
"When I first started studying, it was a little harder because I was spending my family's money. But then I graduated and worked in a restaurant, and as I got promoted little by little, I felt less stressed."
"Getting promoted bit by bit? Do chefs also have levels?" Damai was a little curious.
"Of course there is. Don't you think Michelin has one star, two stars and three stars?" Nana answered this question directly for Zhang Wentao. She had read many books about cooking and had some understanding of this aspect.
"In fact, not only Michelin, there are many positions in the kitchen, and the income of each position is different. It is similar to Xu Hongdou in a hotel. It also depends on seniority and years. Of course, chefs are more concerned about talent." Zhang Wentao nodded and added a little.
.
"Brother Wentao, your cooking is so delicious, it must be Michelin-starred." Damai thought for a moment. She didn't know much about catering, but she only felt that Zhang Wentao's cooking was delicious. If the number of Michelin stars represents the level of cooking,
If so, it must be Zhang Wentao who can make such delicious dishes.
"Barley, Michelin is very difficult." Xu Hongdou took a sip of cherry wine and said, "Look, although our hotel is a five-star hotel, it is absolutely impossible to hire a Michelin chef."
After saying that, Xu Hongdou thought of something, took out his mobile phone, found Xie Zhiyuan's phone number, and handed it to Xie Zhiyuan.
Seeing that the call had been made, Xie Zhiyao quickly hung up the phone and said, "No need to call, he has turned off his phone. I just called him on the way back. You look more like his sister."
Xu Hongdou shook his head: "I really want to explain to him clearly that it was really not me who said this. Who did you think spread this matter? It's really strange. Why did everyone in the whole village the next day?
knew."
"The walls in the village look quite thick, but in fact there is air leakage from all sides, so why should we keep them secret?" Yang Guanjun explained to Xu Hongdou that there are basically no secrets in Yunmiao Village.
Hu Youyu opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Wentao. He felt that Zhang Wentao would be able to analyze this matter.
But according to his character, he definitely won't say much.
