Chapter 289: It’s a deal and the business will be successful
Wen Si got excited as he talked, and it took him a while to calm down.
"As you can see, I also paid a huge price to escape with my son. After that, I searched everywhere for a good solution, but in the end, there was no result.
"My son is well restrained by me, how can he hurt others? The complaint sent to Old Man Rong was probably maliciously slandered by the righteous people who were defeated by me that day, or they dragged me out to increase the pressure in order to ask Old Man Rong to take action.
Boy, do you believe it?"
"Juniors have their own ways to verify."
"Then you can go and investigate on your own, but your life and the recipe that can save my son must be left behind."
"I know. This recipe requires me to take action myself. First, I will recruit your son as a secret soldier..."
"Crack", Zhou Shi's shirt suddenly turned into dark charcoal, shattered and fell.
"You want my son to make cows and horses for you?"
"Master Wen, please don't be angry. This is really a last resort. Next, I need a picture of the Eight Symbols by Yuan Yongsheng."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Sigang's finger that he was about to raise was fixed in the air.
"Eight Symbols Picture..."
"It is precisely by sending the Yin soldiers into the Eight Symbols Diagram that they can regain their sanity. Even if they are separated from the host, they can still exist in a more advanced form than ordinary souls."
"So the little girl in red just now is also integrated with one of the eight images? Which one is it?"
"Dignified Elephant."
Zhou Shi did not shy away. He saw that Wen Si also knew a lot about Baxiangtu. Lying or concealing this issue would destroy the trust that both parties had finally built.
The cold wind penetrated into the room through the half-collapsed wall. Without his shirt, he felt cold now.
"That's it... indeed, it's very possible."
After being silent for a full incense stick, Wen Si finally spoke.
"Okay, I'll help you prepare the Eight Symbols Chart, and you'd better be confident."
"Master Wen, please rest assured."
"You have hurt so many of my men and destroyed half of my house. You shouldn't ask me for anything anymore. But I don't like to have human relations with people in the underworld. Why do you want to help me? You can tell yourself."
"Then you're welcome. I need to find the whereabouts of the God of Plague, including the belief in the God of Plague, the legacy of the God of Plague, and the location of the God of Plague."
…
"Up, up, left a little, too much, right... yes, right there!"
Under Agui's command, the Fengde Building signboard wrapped in red hijab was put in place.
"Blow it up!"
In Yongde Alley, gongs and drums were noisy and firecrackers were blasting, attracting the attention of passers-by.
"Whose restaurant is open?"
"Restaurants? Hey, don't you think there are not enough restaurants in the capital? Let's go, let's go..."
The two passers-by finished talking casually and were about to leave, but when they looked up, they saw the "Fengde Building" sign hanging high above their heads.
"Hey, what's going on?"
While the two were surprised, Agui had already come forward to greet them.
"You two are here. Fengde Building, one of the four famous restaurants in Jiangdu, has opened in the north. There are all kinds of Jianghuai famous dishes. Can you please come in?"
"This, Jianghuai cuisine is too sweet, we..."
"It's true that eating sweets at noon is boring all afternoon." Agui immediately changed his mind, "Actually, our family also moved south from the capital two generations ago. At that time, people in the capital were called the 'Kings of Chao Chao', but the Beijing cuisine from a hundred years ago has not changed at all.
, when you two come in, you should act like elegant scholars from a hundred years ago, and taste the dishes of the ancients to see if they suit your tongue."
Upon hearing the word "ancient", the two guests' eyes lit up.
"Then how about..."
"Yes, no need to look for it, just go to this one."
"Okay, you two, please—"
Two people were sent in here, and three more came in behind them. It seemed that as soon as they raised their heads, they were transferred to the master in front of Fengde Building for some reason.
While Agui went up to greet him, Zhou Shi withdrew his gaze, left the counter and walked towards the kitchen.
"The methods of the Qi family and his son are really extraordinary. For my store to be so prosperous on the first day, they must have 20%, uh, 30% success..."
Although thinking about it now, the deeds of the gods caused by the Qi family and his son that day still left him with lingering fears.
As soon as they entered the back kitchen, a wave of heat came over them, and a slightly thin figure wandered around each stove, instructing the newly hired chef on how to master Fengdelou's recipes.
"This one needs to be thicker and wrapped... Yes, pour hot oil on it before serving... Okay, okay, let's take it away... Does it belong to the shopkeeper?"
Zhou Shi signaled Xue An to continue working and said loudly: "Do a good job and you will be rewarded tonight!"
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
The enthusiasm of the cooks became even higher. Zhou Shi leaned against the door and watched for a while, then waved to Xue An and whispered: "How is it? Is it suitable?"
"The local cooks are too rough and not very particular about their work. They need more training and practice..." Xue An repeatedly wiped his hands on his apron and said, "Two of the five are good, and the other two have no work.
,I am afraid……"
Chen Dayou's roar came from the kitchen: "Grandma, are you deliberately angry with me? You can't even turn a spoon and you're still a cook! Get out!"
"Well, it seems that none of the three skills are good..."
Xue An tentatively looked up at the shopkeeper and saw the shopkeeper nodded slightly. "It's all up to you. Let those two go tomorrow, and the other one will stay for a while. Master Chen is sometimes too impatient, so please help him.
You can't just follow his temper."
"good."
"Besides, I hear you speak with a northern accent? You learn so quickly?"
"ah?"
Zhou Shi was joking, but Xue An's face suddenly turned pale.
"No, no, this is the one..."
Seeing this, Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "It's just a joke, don't pay attention, go to work."
Watching Xue An walk away angrily like an eggplant beaten by frost, Zhou Shi recalled what happened before and after he came to Fengde Building, and questions that had been ignored in the past resurfaced:
Chefs are counted among the "Qinxing" because they don't have many requirements for family background or talent. As long as they can endure hardships and sweat, they can have a place.
And this "position" is not big. If you can be called "Master" politely by the owner of the shop, and you can support a family, that's the end of it. You talk about the scenery of the royal chef in the palace, the beggars and the emperors, can
Can you explain what the beggar's profession is like?
In other words, those who can succeed in this industry are mostly honest men from poor families, and they need to be apprentices for at least several years to learn some real skills. When they can cook alone and develop good cooking skills, it will take three years no matter what.
Ten or so.
But this Xue An looks like he's in his early twenties at most, and his movements don't look like those of a gangster. How could he learn such a good skill?
And a chef of this level was actually brought in for competition by Agui and a group of wild chefs...
"Is it possible that he is truly a genius in the cooking world, or that he was taught some secrets by a famous master?"
He couldn't help but think of the routines of martial arts novels, and couldn't figure out the reason.
Of course, talents don't care where they come from. As long as Xue An does a good job, he won't care about these trivial things.
Just as he was about to turn around and walk out, he bumped into Agui.
"Shopkeeper, a distinguished guest has arrived."
"Distinguished guest?" Zhou Shi was stunned. He really couldn't imagine that any distinguished guest would come to support him.
"Yes, the leader's old gentleman's surname is Deng."
