Chapter 644 It’s really like a dream
In the hot and sour noodle shop, many waiters and cooks held items in their hands and walked to the front hall in an orderly manner.
In the lobby of the front yard, the waiters prepared pre-dinner side dishes for each table according to Xia Qianqian's instructions in advance.
One dish each of melon seeds, peanuts and edamame.
Each tabletop is also equipped with a pot of free tea and a fan with a drawing of a character from "Journey to the West".
This comes standard on every desktop.
While the door was not open, the boys were busy decorating.
As soon as Xia Qianqian entered the door, He Ming saw her for the first time. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, raised his hands and saluted: "Girl, you are here."
"Shopkeeper He, I can rest assured that you will handle the matter."
Xia Qianqian praised: "Uncle Wang brought some fresh vegetables and milk from the mountains. You sent someone to help deliver them to the kitchen."
"Yes!"
By chance, Er Gouzi and Jiang Yu carried the milk bucket into the backyard, and He Ming directed the two boys to take over.
Ergouzi quickly answered: "We are carrying the things on our backs, and this little brother can lead the way."
The two boys didn't listen to him. They reached out to take the barrel from Er Gouzi's back and moved it to their own backs.
Seeing this, Ergouzi became anxious, "We are all girls, so why not do things for girls?"
Jiang Yu, who was behind him, felt even more offended. When he raised his head, his eyes were sinister and his murderous aura was almost uncontrollable.
"Girl," Ergouzi was so frightened that he quickly replied, "we are all here to help you with your work."
He Ming glanced at Xia Qianqian, then raised his hand and replied: "Girl, doing catering is not an ordinary thing. The management of the kitchen is particularly important. Especially the movement of personnel."
He Ming said sternly: "Everyone who comes in and out of the kitchen must be of clean identity and have no smudges to ensure the safety and deliciousness of the food."
He glanced at Er Gouzi and Jiang Yu and said seriously: "Although these two are girls, I know very little about them, so I can't let them in and out of the kitchen for the time being. Please forgive me, girl."
This He Ming is indeed a talent cultivated by Shopkeeper Qiao.
"Okay, I will hand over the management of the store to you, and everything will be done according to your rules."
Xia Qianqian winked at Ergouzi, who reluctantly handed the things to the boy, while she took a step back and stood behind Jiang Yu unconsciously.
Jiang Yu, who had been bossing everyone around in Fanshan, had never been so humiliated and treated so lightly.
However, he was more calm than Feng Wei. He swallowed the tightness in his chest, bowed his hands and said, "Girl, if you don't trust us, let's help in the kitchen, so what should we do?"
Xia Qianqian glanced at his face lightly and said calmly: "Yesterday you mentioned that you wanted to go to the kitchen to chop firewood. Today is the first day that the hot and sour noodle shop opens. There are many guests, so the firewood in the backyard must be available.
”
What she said is very obvious. Let the two go to the backyard to chop wood.
Jiang Yu clenched his molars, raised his hands and saluted, "Yes, girl."
"Come here, take the two of them to the backyard to chop firewood." He Ming ordered the people and warned: "The work of chopping firewood in the backyard is not easy. Just watch and let them work carefully."
"Yes."
Xia Qianqian looked at the two people leaving and couldn't help but twitching her lips.
There are too many things to do today, but some things have to be done.
"Is Mr. Mo here?" he asked He Ming.
"Young Master has not yet come."
"Oh!"
If the cuttlefish doesn't come, where is her plaque?
"Girl." He Ming bowed his hands and saluted, "Girl, don't worry about things in the store. You are the master today, and I invite you to go to the private room. Our people will take care of everything."
This He Ming is so capable, but I don’t want her to get involved.
She is happy and free.
"Okay."
Xia Qianqian turned around to leave. From a distance, she saw Li Yunniang being kicked out by Grandma Gui at the arch at the end of the corridor.
Li Yunniang was stubborn, so she stepped back and argued: "I am familiar with everything in the kitchen, why don't you let me help?"
Aunt Gui looked a little helpless, "Madam, today's kitchen affairs are of no use to you."
Li Yunniang is the first lady she has ever met who likes to get into the kitchen.
But today, hot and sour noodles are opened, and the real owner is Miss Xia.
As Xia Qianqian's mother, Li Yunniang is naturally the master, so how can she help in the kitchen?
Aunt Gui got the man out, but Li Yunniang was somewhat unconvinced.
Xia Qianqian stood there, wanting to laugh, "Mother."
She called Li Yunniang and waved: "Mom, come quickly."
When Aunt Gui saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Girl, I'll go and get busy first."
"Aunt Gui, I'll leave it to you to take care of the kitchen today."
Aunt Gui smiled, backed away, and turned away.
Li Yunniang looked left and right, then had to step forward and complained: "There are some new cooks in the back kitchen. I should go and keep an eye on them. It should be safer."
"Where can I use you!" Xia Qianqian took Li Yunniang's hand, "Mom, the hot and sour noodle shop is opened by my daughter. You are the master here, who dares to use you. Besides..."
She paused and joked: "Today, there are many guests coming. Your task is to entertain the guests who come to congratulate you."
In the palm of her hand, Li Yunniang's hand trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, her eyes evasive and uneasy, "Qianqian, mother is really afraid that this is a dream."
"How could it be a dream?" Xia Qianqian was puzzled.
Li Yunniang looked at the crowds coming and going in the yard and said anxiously: "Five months ago, I thought that as long as we could eat well and repair the damaged corners of the house, we would not be bitten by mosquitoes in the summer and freeze in the winter.
."
"My mother's wish is very simple. As long as our family is together, healthy, well-fed and clothed. But now..."
Now, not only do they have a warm home, they also have their own careers.
There are small shops, and there are hot and sour noodle shops.
All this is like a dream.
"How could this be a dream?" Xia Qianqian pinched the back of Li Yunniang's hand, and she screamed in pain.
"Is it true?" she laughed playfully.
Li Yunniang nodded repeatedly, "Really!"
"Let's go to the front and entertain the guests."
"Okay!"
Chen hour has arrived, there are more pedestrians on the street, and the hot and sour noodle shop has become lively.
After a burst of firecrackers crackled, the acrobatic team came beating gongs and drums.
Dozens of people at the front stood on stilts and danced happily with flower fans.
Xia Qianqian stood on tiptoe and looked up. Behind the stilts was the lion dance team.
Two golden lions came swaying their heads, one moment pounced on the crowd, the other moment they were fighting for a big golden bead.
As the lion dance team approached, the cheers in the crowd became louder and louder, making it very lively.
Yuan Bao on the side looked excited and clapped his hands excitedly.
Li Yunniang asked in surprise, "Qianqian, did we invite a lion dance team?"
