Chapter 3 Homecoming
The next day, Su Zi woke up early and rushed to open the store before dawn.
This is the rule mentioned by Jia Xibei: Those who open a restaurant must not make guests wait for you to open the door. As the old saying goes, it is unlucky to let the guests be rejected. You should open the door early, prepare everything, and wait for the guests to come and have the first soup.
.
Su Zifang still remembers that when Jia Xibei was talking about this rule, a classmate raised his hand and asked: "Teacher Jia, do you have the same rules for Western food?"
Teacher Jia's face turned red from holding it back, and he murmured for a long time about chef's rules and which ones were not rules. Then he started talking about words that he didn't understand, such as "left fork and right knife" and "fried, stewed and roasted", which made the classmates laugh.
When I got up, the atmosphere inside and outside the classroom was filled with joy.
Su Zifang remembered this incident very well and implemented it very well. Whether it was practical training or graduation practice, he was always the first person to enter the kitchen.
Now on Xile Street, although there is no one to supervise, Su Zifang still maintains the good habit of getting up early in the catering industry where diligence determines the development.
His shop hadn't opened yet, so Su Zifang could only go outside to find a place to have breakfast after getting up. At this time, the shortcoming of getting up too early was revealed. The entire Xile Street was deserted, and only three or two shops were open.
.
Su Zifang felt a little regretful. Should he go back and take a nap?
"Oh, Boss Su, what a coincidence!" A voice suddenly sounded.
Su Zifang felt something sounded familiar. When he turned his head, Mu Lu walked out with a broom and leaned against the pillar and raised an eyebrow at him: "Are you thanking me for getting up so early?"
"No, let's have breakfast." Su Zifang was still debating whether to go back to sleep or not, but subconsciously expressed his true thoughts.
"What are you being polite about...what...breakfast?" Mu Lu said three words, and suddenly realized that Su Zifang was talking about breakfast, and waved his hand awkwardly, "Breakfast is good!"
"Thank you for yesterday." Su Zifang, who had come back to his senses, was still very positive and quickly thanked her.
If it weren't for the cleaning tools Mu Lu sent him, he might still be laying the floor now.
"Hey, it's okay, we are all neighbors on the same street, that's right. Say hello if anything happens in the future, and the guys from this street will protect you!" Mu Lu slammed the broom into the ground, looking like a sweeping monk coming out of the mountain.
"It's so early in the morning, who are you looking for?" Another middle-aged man walked out of the door, with short hair, a little fat, a gentle voice, and the word "good guy" written all over his face.
"Boss Lu, I'm not looking for anyone." Mu Lu first turned his head and pointed at Su Zifang with his chin, then stood aside with a smile and pointed out: "This is Boss Su from shop No. 7, here to have breakfast.
"
"Life will come true!" Lu Renjie raised his hand and bowed his hands. With his harmless face, he was really naive.
"Giao Yang Yang Yang!" Su Zifang immediately followed suit.
"Boss Su is from Guangdong Province?" Lu Renjie looked a little surprised and clicked his tongue after speaking, "This Cantonese is very correct."
"From the north." Su Zifang bowed slightly, "The chef who studied cooking is from Guangdong Province. He knows a few words, but it's not worth mentioning."
"I said, can we go in and chat again? It's so cold in this cold weather!" Mu Lu casually scanned the door a few times and rushed over to greet the two of them.
Su Zifang didn't say anything. This was not his shop. It depends on the owner's wishes.
"You're just talking too much. Look at this place. It's better not to sweep it. There's also a piece of chewing gum in that area. Go and clean it up quickly..."
Three seconds later, Directory took a small shovel and moved out with a sad look on his face. Lu Renjie then turned to Su Zifang: "Boss Su, please!"
There was something to ask, but Su Zifang didn't hesitate, raised his legs, took steps, and walked in the door in one go!
As soon as he entered the door, Su Zifang noticed a calligraphy painting hanging on the wall, with the brush strokes of dragons and snakes, full of the style of a master, but the content made him a little strange.
Looking up at the store sign again, he couldn't help but stop and twitch the corners of his mouth. Boss Lu, he is really lucky with women.
"Boss Su, what's wrong?" Seeing Su Zifang stop, Lu Renjie turned around with a confused expression.
"Well" Su Zi paused for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed to the signboard, "Boss Lu is really good with women!"
"How do you say this?" Lu Renjie looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Look, your store is called "Women", and there is a "Women's Treasure" hanging in the middle hall. If this doesn't count as being a woman, then what does?" Su Zifang nodded, proving what he thought.
That's right.
"Am I... about to poop?" Lu Renjie was probably too excited, and he couldn't even speak English very clearly. Fortunately, Su Zifang was an English teacher at that time, so he could barely understand.
"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!" Mu Lu, who was standing at the door and heard the whole process, finally stopped and laughed like a boiled shrimp.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Zifang still didn't understand.
"Boss Su, you're so funny! This central hall is clearly "home away from home", and the name of my store is not called "Women's Home", but "home away from home"!" Lu Renjie looked at Su Zifang's face, let out a long sigh, and expressed it with his actions.
His disdain: "It's terrible to be uneducated!"
"Is that so?" Su Zifang covered up his embarrassment with a smile on his face, and carefully looked at the sign and the main hall several times.
"Boss Su, I think so too." Mu Lu stepped forward and whispered in Su Zifang's ear, "Last time a guest stayed at the hotel and he yelled at her when he came to the store. What did you say, 'Your store clearly calls women, why are you here?
Registering on the platform feels like home! And you, at such an old age, are still hanging women's treasures in the store. It's not a good thing at first glance.'"
"Pfft." Su Zifang couldn't hold it back this time, and laughed loudly.
Lu Renjie coughed twice, indicating that he was still there, and asked the two of them to keep a low profile. But his eyes betrayed his actions, and he glanced at the two calligraphy: "Don't say it, it still really looks like women and women's treasures."
ah!"
Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart. It was impossible to tear down the sign, otherwise the previous explanation would be meaningless!
"By the way, Boss Su hasn't eaten yet, right? Mu Lu, go get a breakfast, just in time to introduce it to Boss Su." Seeing that the two of them were going to continue the discussion, Lu Renjie quickly changed the topic.
"Then excuse me." Su Zi agreed with a smile.
Mu Lu quickly came out with a tray and placed three bowls of porridge and a plate of steamed buns on the table. He then served three fried eggs and six plates of side dishes, simple but not low-key.
The hot steam is steaming, and the aroma of porridge, rice and noodles goes straight into the nostrils. Fermented bean curd, hot sauce, chive flowers, mustard, minced meat, and pickled beans are arranged in order, making Suzi move his index finger.
Lu Renjie first grabbed a steamed bun and split it in half, then picked up a small piece of fermented bean curd and spread it evenly with chopsticks, then added a portion each of minced meat and sour beans. Finally, he spread a piece of fried egg and covered the other half of the steamed bun. Only then did he have the time to cook with Su.
Zi Fang politely said: "Boss Su can do as he pleases."
"Ah, um..." A steamed bun that was full of color, flavor and flavor was wiped out in two mouthfuls, "Snort, snore, snore." The whole bowl of porridge was swallowed by Lu Renjie.
"Hiccup!" A loud and satisfying burp.
Su Zifang looked at the plate in front of him that had not yet been started and swallowed a ball of saliva...
Chapter completed!
