Chapter 219: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (31)
"Hiss! It smells so good!"
The few diners left in the restaurant couldn't help but twitch their noses.
“This is red fried pork!”
"Oh my gosh, this braised pork is really amazing. You can tell it's delicious just by looking at the color!"
"I feel like this girl Meng Yao's cooking skills are even better than Lao Yu's!"
"Definitely. Mr. Meng said back then that Meng Yao has the best talent!"
Among the diners, there are regular customers from the Xijiekou Restaurant.
They have been eating here for more than ten years and know Mr. Meng, Yu Xingwang and other generations of chefs very well.
Mr. Meng's cooking skills are definitely the best.
Yu Xingwang is a little worse, but he is also a great chef.
Meng Yao, this girl, has also helped out in restaurants in the past, but mostly she was a helper or helped prepare the stuffing.
This is the first time for me to actually cook.
Then, several regular customers were surprised.
Whether a dish is delicious or not depends on its color, aroma and taste.
The color is bright, the fragrance is rich, and the taste is mouth-watering.
Real gourmets can sometimes make a judgment just by looking at the knife skills and color——
Meng Yao's cooking skills, at least in the braised pork dish, surpassed Yu Xingwang's and even Mr. Meng's!
"Meng Yao really has a family background!"
"Master Gu knows how to cook. He knows Meng Yao's cooking skills and doesn't care whether he is an 'apprentice' or not."
Among the regular customers, who had a good relationship with the Meng family, they couldn't help but take the opportunity to make a sarcastic comment.
His words "apprentice" were like a slap in the face of the hotel manager.
Even the waiter was shocked and a little embarrassed at the same time.
She really didn't know that Meng Yao's cooking skills were so good.
I work in restaurants all year round, so I don’t know how to cook, but I can also learn to taste.
The waiters have all tasted the cooking done by Yu Xingwang and the new chef.
Meng Yao's braised pork hasn't even been eaten yet, but in terms of color and aroma, it surpasses those two.
As a result, such a skilled chef was treated as an apprentice in their hotel, and she was only allowed to do odd jobs and was not allowed to touch the stove at all!
This this--
It’s indeed a bit embarrassing!
Meng Yao did not notice the reactions of the people around her. With obvious unconfidence, she personally brought the dishes in front of Gu Qingcheng.
"Yeah! It tastes good! It's worthy of being the successor of Meng's cuisine!"
Gu Qingcheng did not hesitate to praise him at all.
She picked up her chopsticks and called to everyone, "Brother! You guys, all use your chopsticks!"
"Hey! Eat!"
Brother Gu responded dully.
In fact, ever since he entered the Xijiekou Hotel, he felt like he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Gu Qingcheng's "domineering" operation just now made Brother Gu dumbfounded.
My girl is so awesome, she actually dares to show off in such a big state-owned hotel.
Brother Gu has never eaten in a state-owned hotel, but he has been to supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.
Tsk tsk, those salesmen are more arrogant than the other.
You spend money on yourself and make demands on others.
This hotel is just like a department store, and the waiters should be similar to sales assistants!
But my own girl——
Brother Gu was frightened and admired at the same time, and he was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, when she heard Gu Qingcheng yelling, her brain hadn't reacted yet, but she obediently responded and took the chopsticks.
A few apprentices are much calmer than Brother Gu. They are all young people and children who grew up in the city.
He has the confidence and pride given by his growing environment.
They will be respectful in front of Gu Qingcheng because they respect their master and desire skills.
Others, as long as the master speaks, they become less and less concerned.
"eat!"
“Try it!”
"Oh, my uncle works in a restaurant, and I have learned a lot from chefs, but this dish is really good!"
"Haha, this is pork belly, it's meat! There's so much oil and water, it's delicious no matter how you cook it!"
The apprentices held chopsticks and quickly picked up vegetables while discussing happily.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively.
And when everyone except Gu Qingcheng took a bite of braised pork, their expressions changed.
They didn't care to talk anymore and waved their chopsticks quickly.
The speed was so fast that afterimages appeared in mid-air.
"Oh, don't grab it! Don't grab it!"
"Jianjun is so dirty, I just ate one piece, and you've already eaten three fucking pieces!"
"Stop grabbing it! There is only the last piece left, leave it to the master!"
Several young men and Brother Gu were all trying their best to grab it.
Gu Qingcheng watched with a smile. Seeing that the plates were cleared instantly, and even the vegetable soup was used by a few apprentices with quick eyes and hands to dip the steamed buns, he turned to Meng Yao and said, "Make another one!"
Meng Yao:......
She was a little lost in thought, staring blankly at the scene of everyone looting.
Deep in my heart, there was a faint sense of accomplishment——
I don't seem to be that bad.
Everyone likes to eat the dishes I cook.
"Yes! Xiao Meng, make another one!"
The hotel manager held back the drool in his mouth and said to Meng Yao with a smile.
This was the first time he smiled at Meng Yao since he came to this hotel.
Meng Yao was in a trance for a while.
"Meng Yao, I didn't hear what the manager said! Hurry up and make another one!"
The waiter pushed Meng Yao angrily.
She still had a bad attitude towards Meng Yao, but inexplicably, Meng Yao saw something different in her expression.
There is disdain, but there is also admiration!
Meng Yao's heart was slightly touched again.
She didn't hesitate, hurried back to the kitchen, and started another operation.
Braised pork takes time, but other dishes are almost done.
The hotel manager used the excuse of supervision and strolled to the back kitchen. After finishing the dish of spicy chicken, there was still some left in the pot.
He quickly took a pair of clean chopsticks, said, "Let me try the taste," and put the chopsticks into the wok.
"I'll serve the food!"
The waiter smelled the overbearing smell of chili peppers in the lobby, shouted, and rushed into the kitchen.
She didn't rush to serve the food, but just like the manager, she took a few bites quickly with chopsticks.
Spicy! Fragrant!
The diced chicken is fried to perfection.
Oops, isn't it just spicy chicken? Why is it so delicious?
If it were a comic book, the hotel manager and waiters would probably have to be given special effects that make them look like they're in a dreamy mood, with red hearts in their eyes.
There are no special effects, but the expressions on the two people's faces say it all.
"Oh, Xiao Chen, hurry up and serve the food!" The restaurant manager saw that the waiter was rushing too hard and urged him quickly.
"Manager, I'm going right away!" the waiter said, but he didn't stop using his chopsticks at all.
It wasn't until the two of them finished eating what was left in the pot that the waiter licked his lips, took the plate and walked out of the kitchen with satisfaction.
Meng Yao blinked:...
Is this still the cold manager and mean waiter she is familiar with?
They don't seem so inaccessible.
Meng Yao also had a hunch that after today, even if she didn't take the initiative to ask for cooking, the hotel manager and waiters would try their best to get her to cook on the stove.
Inexplicably, Meng Yao became happy, and the shackles that bound her soul began to loosen slowly.
…
We had a wonderful meal in the restaurant, and Gu Qingcheng and the others were very satisfied.
Even the little Qiao Qiao ate a small piece of steamed bun with the braised pork.
The steamed buns in the north these days are not the small milk-flavored steamed buns, but large steamed buns with noodles as big as an adult's head.
One weighs a pound, and a small piece is about the size of a fist.
The key is to be solid and take one bite at a time.
A normal adult man can only eat one.
Qiao Qiao is a three-year-old baby. He is very powerful if he can only eat half a piece.
My little belly is bulging.
“As expected of a state-owned hotel, the food is delicious!”
Brother Gu still had more to say, and there was an aftertaste in his tone.
"If it tastes good, let's come again in the future!"
Gu Qingcheng said generously.
"Actually, Chef Meng not only makes braised pork well, but his steamed buns are also excellent!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said to Brother Gu, "Brother, when you go back, I will ask Master Meng to make some steamed buns. You can take them back and give them to your family to try!"
"Isn't this bad?"
Buying things these days is not just as simple as having money.
I also need food stamps.
Brother Gu knew that his sister had skills, a high salary, and no shortage of various bills.
But, you can’t do it so badly.
What should be saved should be saved.
However, my sister has become so powerful and she has become particularly powerful!
Brother Gu stood in front of her, not daring to act like "elder brother is like father".
He couldn't even express his tactful persuasion. He could only say hesitantly, "How much will it cost? How many votes?"
Steamed buns are not like steamed buns and cannot be adulterated with grains.
Pure fine flour is not only expensive, but also difficult to obtain.
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have all of these."
When she goes to other units for technical guidance, she will not only receive "subsidy", but also special products given by those units as a thank you to her.
It's not a bribe, it's just a simple thank you.
For example, vegetables, eggs, and game from Factory 28, and pork belly and pig meat from Factory 46;
Another example -
As Gu Qingcheng's reputation grows, more and more units invite her to provide technical support.
Gu Qingcheng is really not short of money, tickets, or things!
Brother Gu:......
He shut up completely.
After staying in the city for three days, Brother Gu was ready to go home.
Before leaving, Gu Qingcheng asked Mengyao to steam a pot of big, fat meat buns.
From kneading the noodles to chopping the stuffing to steaming, Meng Yao did the entire process himself.
The "quality" of the meat buns is also exceptionally high.
Brother Gu was almost confused by the fragrance. If he didn't have some sense, he would have eaten everything on the way!
"Xiao Ni, I'm leaving!"
Brother Gu reluctantly said goodbye to his sister.
Wow, she's not a biological sister.
Not only did he give him good food and drink, but he also arranged a job for him.
Although it is not a factory in the city, it is just a small factory in their town.
However, even if it was a place like this, without Gu Qingcheng's help, Brother Gu would not be able to get in even if he risked his life.
Moreover, my sister also said that the factory in the town was just a temporary stopover, so he was asked to learn more skills. Once he had a basic foundation, he would be transferred to the factory in the city if there were quotas!
