After hearing what Manager Zhang said, Miao Qiang was stunned, then stared at her chubby face and said curiously: "Zhang, do you know how to order something? I haven't said anything yet, you know I'm going to
Resigned?"
After hearing this, Manager Zhang pursed his lips and smiled, and said to Miao Qiang: "Brother Miao, look at what you said. If I really knew how to order something, I would have gone to look after people a long time ago, and I would have to work here all day long.
of."
Miao Qiang was amused by her and continued: "Then how did you guess that I was going to resign?"
Manager Zhang shook his head helplessly and said: "There's no need to guess. After what happened last night, anyone would have to resign. Besides, there have been many such situations before you."
"But, Mr. Zhang doesn't have time to see you today. If you want to resign, I'm afraid you have to wait until tomorrow morning."
Miao Qiang frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Mr. Zhang has friends here again tonight?"
Manager Zhang nodded and smiled: "Yes, but the friends he entertained tonight are a bit special. I don't know where he invited a group of eminent monks, saying they can help him completely solve the warehouse problem. No, those masters have already
Here we are, Mr. Zhang is drinking tea with them in the private room upstairs."
"Master? Can you also solve the problem of the warehouse at the back? Isn't it a coincidence that these monks came?" Miao Qiang said incredulously.
Manager Zhang chuckled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said to Miao Qiang: "Yes, those big monks seem to be quite capable. So I advise you, don't go to Mr. Zhang to resign today, take a look first.
Besides, if those great monks solve the rest tonight, you won’t need to resign."
Miao Qiang thought about it, and it was not a day away anyway. So he thanked Manager Zhang and walked towards the kitchen.
When they came to the kitchen, Xiao Wuzi came over from a long way away and said to Miao Qiang: "Master, the head chef is looking for you. He asked you to find him after you come."
Then he came up to Miao Qiang and whispered: "I just saw Lao Gao and A Qiang and the other masters getting together and muttering for a long time. It's probably not good for them to come to you now. You should be careful."
Miao Qiang patted Xiao Wuzi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand, go ahead and do your business."
When Miao Qiang came to the dressing room, there was only Master Gao, the head chef. When Master Gao saw him, he immediately stood up and came to meet him, took his arm and said with a smile: "Old Miao, I heard about what happened last night."
I said it. You see what a fuss this has caused. It’s your first night shift and you’ve run into this. Brother, I feel really sorry for you.”
After hearing this, Miao Qiang laughed and said: "Look, what you said is a surprise, isn't it? You couldn't predict what happened last night. I don't mean to blame you at all. Don't think too much about it."
Master Gao nodded quickly and said: "That's good, that's good."
At this time, Miao Qiang asked: "Why did you come to see me for something?"
After hearing this, Master Gao slapped his head and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, come on, let's sit down and talk."
After pulling Miao Qiang to sit on the sofa, Master Gao continued: "That's right. Logically speaking, since something happened last night, you should be given a day off to rest today."
"But Mr. Zhang invited a group of eminent monks to come over today and would like to ask them to help solve the following problems."
As he spoke, Master Gao pointed in the direction of the basement and gave Miao Qiang a look that meant he knew what he was talking about.
Seeing this, Miao Qiang asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhang invited the monk to dinner, what does this have to do with me?"
Master Gao hurriedly said: "Yes, it's very relevant. I've seen your resume before. You've done palace dishes and vegetarian meals, and you have rich experience in entertaining monks. So... take a look,
Can you come and arrange the dishes for the table of eminent monks upstairs later?"
After hearing this, Miao Qiang suddenly understood and smiled at Master Gao: "I thought it was something. That's it. No problem, it's all on me."
After hearing this, Chef Gao immediately said with a smile on his face: "Okay, brother, I'll leave this table of vegetarian dishes to you in a while."
Miao Qiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, but what's the price tag? Does Mr. Zhang have any instructions?"
The head chef immediately shook his head and said: "There is no meal plan. Mr. Zhang said to look at the arrangement. There are only six monks in total. Just arrange eight dishes and one soup. For the staple food, you can ask the pastry chef to match your dishes."
"Also, let's start the banquet on time at six o'clock in the evening. Don't be late. These monks still have to work after they have eaten and drank enough."
When the two of them returned to the kitchen, Master Gao called over some of the chopping boards and the choppers, and ordered: "Tonight's dinner, after you have grabbed the vegetables, leave it to the other chefs to cook. Miao
The master has a table of important guests to entertain, so don’t let him be distracted.”
After everyone dispersed, Xiao Wuzi approached Miao Qiang and asked in a low voice: "Master, what kind of guest is so important?"
Miao Qiang briefly explained the matter to him. After hearing this, Xiaowuzi said in an aura: "Aren't they bullying others? They were afraid that they would be scolded by the boss if they messed up, so they passed the blame on us again."
After hearing this, Miao Qiang smiled and scolded: "You talk a lot lately. Aren't you just a few little guys who are trying to catch me? It'll be over in a while. Finish work early and get off work early. Let's play with this.
After a few dishes, the two of us will go home."
When Xiao Wuzi heard this, he immediately became energetic and said with a smile: "This is a good relationship. Master, what kind of food are you going to arrange for these monks? I will prepare it for you right now."
Miao Qiang smiled and said: "Don't be hasty, there are some things you need to ask clearly before you can make preparations."
After saying that, under Xiao Wuzi's puzzled gaze, Miao Qiang called the waiter who was serving the dishes and asked him to go upstairs and ask if the monks invited by Mr. Zhang had any taboos, and whether they abstained from meat or fishy food.
Or abstain from eating meat or fish.
After hearing this, not only Xiao Wuzi was confused, but also the waiter who served the dishes was confused. He scratched his head and asked: "Master Miao, don't all monks abstain from eating meat and fish? Why not?"
Should I ask?"
Xiao Wuzi nodded and said, "Yes, Master, what's going on?"
Miao Qiang ignored Xiao Wuzi and continued to say to the waiter: "You go up and ask first. I will tell you when I come down."
After hearing this, the waiter didn't hesitate, turned around, "Teng, Teng, Teng" and ran upstairs in two steps.
Not long after, the waiter ran back. While wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeves, he said to Miao Qiang: "Master Miao, the head monk said that they practice Mahayana Buddhism and abstain from eating meat and fish.
"
"Also, the head monk said that if you can ask them these things, you will see that they understand. They don't have any other requirements. You can cook vegetarian food for them. They can rest assured and let you take care of the arrangements."
Miao Qiang smiled after hearing this and said, "That's easy to handle."
The little boy and the waiter beside him asked with puzzled faces: "Master, you can tell me what's going on."
Miao Qiang patted Xiao Wuzi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go get a pen and paper and decide on their dishes first. I will tell you while grabbing the dishes later."
After Xiao Wuzi got paper and pen, he asked: "Master, what dishes are you going to arrange for them?"
Miao Qiang thought for a while and said: "The standard is eight dishes and one soup. If you want to eat, we will arrange two cold dishes and six hot dishes for them."
"Remember, the two cold dishes are vinegar-based peeling and refreshing Andrographis paniculata."
"As for the hot dishes, let's bring them stir-fried porcini mushrooms, braised wild rice, luohanzhai, stir-fried asparagus with lilies, braised vegetable gall bladders with mushrooms and cashew nuts, braised bamboo fungus with assorted mushrooms, and make Wensi tofu for them."
The first few dishes were okay. When Xiaowuzi heard about Wensi Tofu, his face turned bitter and he begged: "Master, don't arrange Wensi Tofu for them. Can't you change it to something else? This dish is too difficult to cut."
After hearing this, Miao Qiang pretended to be angry and said: "You don't listen to me when I usually ask you to practice more basic skills. You have lost your temper at the critical moment. You don't even understand Wensi Tofu, so you have the nerve to brag outside that you are my apprentice. Don't do it to me in the future."
Shameful."
Xiaowuzi begged with a grimace: "Master, I was wrong. I'll change it. I will work hard on my knife skills in the future, but see if you can change this dish today."
After hearing this, Miao Qiang glared angrily, kicked Xiao Wuzi on the butt, and said angrily: "You little bastard, you are so good at cutting your crotch and you asked the master to change the dishes. It's embarrassing to spread the word! Hurry up!"
Go grab the vegetables, you don’t need to cut the tofu, I will come in person in a while, and you can watch carefully from the side!"
