Chapter 83: Each other’s busyness (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
When the time came, the kitchen quickly became busy as customers came to the restaurant one after another.
Today's appetizer tonight is the traditional Italian Crostini. It is an essential part of every authentic Italian restaurant.
Place a piece of greaseproof paper on a wooden tray and then bake the slices of bread.
Some first apply a base of sauce, and then carefully arrange vegetables or meats of various shapes and colors. Some spread chocolate sauce, put a few slices of fruit, and drizzle honey randomly. Some
The other one is topped with scattered goat cheese, rolled Parma ham, sprinkled with some arugula, and a drizzle of olive oil...
Seeing the surprised expression on the waiter's face as he cautiously picked up the wooden plates, Zhang Wentao inevitably told him: "Be sure to handle them with care, and don't drop them."
"It doesn't matter if it's gentler or slower. You respect me and I respect you, okay."
Soon as the waiters were busy, the guests received the delightful "gifts" Zhang Wentao gave everyone today. While they were tasting the bright colors and admiring the chef's exquisite composition.
People in the kitchen had no time to communicate, because the second dish, fresh meat soup, would be served soon.
The most famous Italian broth comes from Venice. The traditional method is to use thin slices of raw beef with sour olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and cheese.
The person in charge of this dish is Shi Tiandong.
He has a profound knowledge of Jiangsu cuisine, and he can handle this soup which is not very difficult.
After tasting the other party's soup, Zhang Wentao couldn't help but put his thumbs up to express his praise. However, he had no time to chat with the other party, because the only ones in the restaurant who could really get started were him and the other party.
Every dish requires two people to cook it carefully. The remaining chef is still in the learning stage. At best, Xie Liang can only help everyone put the plates.
Yes, just put the plate on the plate.
…
However, Xie Zhiyao and his group were not able to taste today's delicious food like the diners in the restaurant.
After Xie Xiaochun finished calling Sun Xiaowei, he came back and shrugged his shoulders and said to Huang Xinxin: "There is no chance today. The reservations for the evening are already full, and we will not accept temporary additional guests."
"Ah, is it like this?" Huang Xinxin was a little disappointed.
"What kind of restaurant? Customers still need to make a reservation. Didn't it say it just reopened?" Compared to Huang Xinxin's disappointment, Xie Zhiyao was a little curious.
"Ahem, you don't know."
Xie Xiaochun returned to his seat, sat down and explained: "It's the chef in the small courtyard, Zhang Wentao. Let me tell you, he has a lot of rules. When I took Xie Liang there that day, I stayed there for a whole day.
Yes, Sun Xiaowei was even trained by him so that she didn't dare to speak."
"Later, I was afraid that I was not suitable and Xie Liang was admitted, so I left quickly."
Just as Xie Xiaochun finished speaking, Xu Hongdou had already returned from the stroller. When she saw Huang Xinxin coming, she said hello first and then asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Liao Shaohua Bookstore."
"Let's talk about Zhang Wentao."
Xie Zhiyao and Xie Xiaochun said at the same time.
Xu Hongdou showed a puzzled expression: "What does Shaohua Bookstore have to do with Zhang Wentao?"
"I came to talk to Mr. Xie about Shaohua Bookstore. I originally wanted to talk about it when we had dinner together, but it seems that Sister Xiaochun knows the chef of that restaurant." Huang Xinxin explained.
"Oh, you were talking about the Italian restaurant where Zhang Wentao was." Xu Hongdou smiled.
She couldn't help but think that it seemed that she and Zhang Wentao hadn't seen each other in the past few days. The other party seemed to be very busy every day, and she didn't know if it would be very hard...
"Well, since we can't eat Italian food today, how about I invite you to Gesanghua to eat braised chicken?"
Xie Zhiyao glanced at Huang Xinxin and Xie Xiaochun, and finally focused on Xu Hongdou and asked.
"Okay." Huang Xinxin said with a smile. She felt that she could eat anything. The most important thing today was to eat Xie Zhiyao's meal. After all, she had finally won this opportunity at Shaohua Bookstore.
"I can do it." Xu Hongdou smiled at Xie Zhiyao.
Xie Xiaochun saw something from the expressions of the two of them, and nodded with a hint of doubt.
…
In the Gesanghua Restaurant.
The four of them gathered around the table, and Huang Xinxin stopped selling the lawsuit and told the whole story.
After hearing this, Xu Hongdou smiled and said: "You are talking about Shaohua Bookstore. I went there with my best friend before when I was at BJ. This bookstore is quite unique, very literary and artistic, and the decoration is also very exquisite and elegant."
"And their coffee is delicious and their pastries are good. These are actually things we need to learn from."
As she talked, she was immersed in her work role and naturally felt that Xiaoguan should learn as much as possible from the other person’s strengths.
"So, the founder, who you have a very good relationship with, will come over to check it out, and then he will also be very interested in our Yunmiao Village, right?"
Xie Zhiyao summarized Huang Xinxin’s speech just now.
Huang Xinxin nodded, but the expression on her face looked more cheerful: "Well, yes. And this friend of mine told me that if the other party is not very interested, he will not come to our place to inspect in person. So.
The first stroke of this horoscope has basically been drawn."
"Then we have to prepare in advance and try to let the other party have a deeper understanding of our Yunmiao Village." Xie Zhiyao nodded. Although he usually has a playful smile, he is extra serious when it comes to work.
This couldn't help but make Xu Hongdou, who was sitting opposite him, feel a sense of appreciation.
"In this case, I will be responsible for the reception, and Huang Xinxin, you will be responsible for explaining our policies here to the other party. How about we take the other party to see and walk more together?"
"Okay, Mr. Xie, I think your idea is exactly what I want."
Seeing that they both expressed their opinions, Xu Hongdou asked in a daze: "Then what should I do?"
Xie Zhiyao smiled slightly: "Of course you are responsible for the reception together with me. You see, you are not a local, so what you say is more objective. And to be honest, we don't have this information about how many people are coming, so
Just in case of emergencies."
Xu Hongdou thought for a while and felt that Xie Zhiyao's words were indeed very reasonable, and this opportunity was also a rare opportunity for Yunmiao Village. He nodded and agreed: "Then let me make it clear first, I have never received the leader before.
"
"You have to tell me in advance what preparations are needed."
"Don't worry, you can do it." Xie Zhiyao stood up with a smile and said, "I'm going to see how the food is doing. I'm going to starve to death."
"By the way, I want to do something first. I can ask Sister Huailan to make a set of clothes for the three of you, so that when you meet each other for the first time, they can start to get in touch with the cultural characteristics of our place." Xie Xiaochun thought of something.
idea.
After hearing her suggestion, the smile on Xie Zhiyao's face became even brighter.
"Sister Xiaochun, this is a good idea. Let me tell you, Hongdou, Sister Huailan's clothes are very unique..."
