Zhou Xiaobao had a breakfast at noon today. He had enough food and drink to ride here. Normal people just had a meal. Therefore, the food street is at the peak of the meal season, and there has been a queue of diners in the shops with good business, while Qin Ruoxi's restaurants are empty.
At this time, there were only three tables of customers in Ruoxi's private restaurant, one of which was home to the boss Qin Ruoxi and her best friend Chen Fang.
Chen Fang yawned and said listlessly, "My Miss Qin, when can we eat? Although your chef is not very skilled, he can fill his stomach anyway. You can't even ignore lunch if you call me here, can you?"
"Nonsense! I think the chef I hired is not bad. Besides, six chefs have changed since the opening of the store. If you change the store, you will be blacklisted by the chef. But you can rest assured that you will not be hungry." Qin Ruoxi said absently, took out his mobile phone, checked the call records and messages, for fear of missing important information.
"OK. Since you called me, you have looked at your mobile phone for 59 times. Who are you waiting for? After two days' absence, which handsome guy has taken your heart away?" Chen Fang suddenly asked very gossipy.
Qin Ruoxi was a little stunned, and a little embarrassed cried, "Have you been there so many times? No way? Don't make a wild guess. The smelly man who can make me look good has not yet been born."
"Hey hey, I must have guessed you for your pinched manner. Tell me, which family is rich or young? Have I seen it?"
"Don't cheat me. Nothing is nothing!" Qin Ruoxi didn't fall for it. He turned away and refused to admit it.
Just then, Zhou Xiaobao pushed the door in.
The dozing waiter at the door quickly stood up and shouted excitedly, "Sir, welcome to Ruoxi Private Restaurant. Please come inside. How many of you are there?"
"I'm the only one, but you don't have to be busy. I'll find your landlady," Zhou Xiaobao said. He had already seen Qin Ruoxi sitting inside, waved his hand, and walked inside.
Qin Ruoxi had already cast aside his mouth and shouted from a distance: "The boss is the boss. What's the boss's wife? If I didn't know it, I thought I was married."
"..." Zhou Xiaobao scratched his head, and could do nothing with the woman. According to the local rules, no matter whether the female boss is married or not, or whether she has a husband, most of them call her boss.
There are many meanings about this title.
The boss's mother is naturally the boss's mother, which is called the boss's mother for short. The boss's wife is also called the boss's wife in many places. Single female boss, many places also call her boss wife
Zhou Xiaobao shouted easily. He didn't think about the meaning of the word. Hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, he didn't know how to answer them.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaobao didn't speak, Qin Ruoxi became even more angry. He pouted, pointed to the time on his mobile phone and said, "You don't have to look at the time. You can't sell it. Let you call me earlier. What about your call?"
"But... but..." Zhou Xiaobao saw that Qin Ruoxi seemed to have taken gunpowder, and didn't know how to explain it. In fact, he wanted to make a phone call, but he didn't have a mobile phone. Now there are few public phone booths. There is no place for him to make a phone call.
As for making phone calls with his mobile phone, it's strange that he is not regarded as a liar in his hanging silk dress.
"But what? Don't move your wild vegetables in quickly. I've printed out the wild vegetables menu. Maybe some customers will order wild vegetables right away." Qin Ruoxi saw Zhou Xiaobao's rare failure to quarrel with himself, and his anger was already smooth. He gave him a wild look, as the end of the scolding.
"But all the wild vegetables have been sold out." When it came to wild vegetables, Zhou Xiaobao regained some confidence. Without anyone saying anything, he sat directly next to Qin Ruoxi, picked up the cup she had drunk, purred, and drank all the water in it.
I drank too much Maotai today. The wine is good but thirsty. What is not dry, head pain, pure nonsense, if people drink too much, even if the wine is still drunk at sixes and sevens.
Chen Fang had long been stunned by the two lovers' bickering. Qin Ruoxi was unwilling to leave that day, so she felt bad. The stereotype of heroes saving the beauty and committing themselves to each other seemed to be playing out around her.
Qin Ruoxi seemed to feel nothing wrong when the tea cup was robbed. Her attention was attracted by Zhou Xiaobao's words.
"What? All the wild vegetables have been sold out? Are you kidding me? When we came to the city, it was already half noon. The woman who bought the vegetables had gone home early. Who did you sell them to?" Qin Ruoxi's face was full of suspicion.
"You've heard about the Guandong Restaurant. The boss Cui Hongyi thought my wild vegetables were delicious and cried out to buy them. I felt sorry for him, so he sold them all to him. After giving me the money, I didn't finish the work, so I had to invite me to eat and drink. Chen Fang opened a box of Moutai for many years, and I drank half of it myself. If I hadn't thought about coming to your restaurant, I would have been unable to come back. I would have drunk two more cups and would have collapsed."
Zhou Xiaobao drank too much and ran the train with his mouth full. Although the result was very close, the process was not as exaggerated as he said. If it weren't for Ji Yuanzhen and Song Xingping's help, whether they could sell would be different.
"Stop bragging! If you want to talk about other restaurants, I can still believe that, given the status of Guandong Restaurant in the catering industry of this city, how can you possibly ask for your wild vegetables? Now give you a chance, let me have a look at the money sold, and I will believe it." Qin Ruoxi stared at his eyes and said.
Without saying a word, Zhou Xiaobao took out the 7000 yuan for selling vegetables and put it on the table. It was very upstart: "Seven thousand yuan, not a penny."
"Ah? Really? That cart of wild vegetables is only more than one hundred jin. Why do you sell so much money?" Qin Ruoxi was more puzzled when he saw the money.
"Hey hey, the shepherd's purse is 30 yuan per kilogram, and the spiked sprouts are 90 yuan per kilogram. Is it possible to sell this money?" Zhou Xiaobao said proudly.
"What? You are too black hearted. Why don't you rob at such a high price?" Qin Ruoxi almost jumped up.
Chen Fang finally heard something from the conversation between them. At the critical moment, she helped her friend to mend the wound: "Are you a fool when Cui Hongyi is? How dare you sell him such a black hearted price? Be careful that if you can't get out of the city, you will be crippled by others."
Zhou Xiaobao glanced scornfully at Chen Fang, slapped Cui Hongyi's card on the table, and said, "I don't know whether he is stupid or not. Anyway, he gave me a card, saying that as many wild vegetables as possible. He was afraid that I would supply them to others, and tomorrow he would go to Wild Boar Ridge to investigate in person."
The two women picked up their business card, looked at it for a few times, and knew it was true.
Although I have already believed 70% or 80% of them, I still feel entangled in my heart and keep muttering that this is not scientific. If Cui Hongyi is not stupid, is he stupid? It's more expensive than beef to buy a pound of wild vegetables for dozens of yuan. Is it really hard for your brain?
In this strange atmosphere, the food was quickly served, and Zhou Xiaobao was already full, but he also took a few mouthfuls with him.
I have just tasted the high-grade cooking skills of the Guandong Restaurant. It's hard to swallow the food made by the guy who came out of the Jiuliu Chef School.
Zhou Xiaobao suddenly remembered what several chefs and masters had said before. Learning to cook also requires talent.
Without the talent of a chef, he could not make delicious food even if he was given delicacies and top ingredients.
"How much is your cook's salary per month?" Zhou Xiaobao couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and asked.
"The chef is six thousand, and the assistant chef is also a handyman for two thousand eight. What's the matter?" Qin Ruoxi replied.
Zhou Xiaobao really admired Qin Ruoxi's strong heart and asked, "How much do you pay for this store every month?"
"Ah? How can you tell that I lose money every month?" Qin Ruoxi shouted in surprise.
Chen Fang couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Even a fool can see it! If you want to hire two chefs and two waiters in such a large store, and there are no customers in the store, where can you make money?"
Qin Ruoxi explained awkwardly, "Er... this... has just opened for five or six months, but it may not have gained public praise yet. I heard that when I started business, I lost money in the first few months."
"As far as your food level is concerned, reputation is also bad reputation, and customers will only become less and less. If nothing else, I let Iron Egg come to you as a chef, and less than two months later, you will be able to boost your business," Zhou Xiaobao said firmly.
Qin Ruoxi suddenly brightened up and said with a smile, "Is that an exaggeration? I heard from Tiedan that your cooking skills are better than his. If you were hired as a chef, would it make business better in a month?"
"I'm also the boss now. How can I have time to help you work?" Zhou Xiaobao crossed his legs and said he wouldn't take the job.
"Hum... I hate not saving my life." Qin Ruoxi pursed his lips and turned his head to ignore Zhou Xiaobao.
Zhou Xiaobao was also not angry, and said with a smile: "But I can help you recruit a makeshift chef, and then use the wild boar mountain's special wild vegetables and game, which will make your hotel full in less than a month."
"Don't brag! I've recruited so many cooks, but I haven't seen any that are easy to use." Qin Ruoxi expressed disbelief.
"You don't want to think about what I used to do. My broken mobile phone at home still has the number of several chef friends. If you can contact any one, it's better than the chef in your shop." Zhou Xiaobao said.
"That's what you said. Don't be naughty. After dinner, I'll take you to choose your mobile phone number and quickly resume communication, otherwise others will think you live in the last century." Qin Ruoxi was very excited to see Zhou Xiaobao willing to help, as if his hotel could turn losses into profits immediately.
Chen Fang saw the two of them flirting and flirting as if they were alone, and suddenly felt that she had made a light bulb today. While mourning for her friend Li Rui, she also doubted Qin Ruoxi's eyes. The second generation of good officials will not be found, and the second generation of rich people will not be chosen, but this poor rural boy. Won't the wild boar scare his head?
