Chapter 233: Opportunity to make a name for yourself
The two of them were sitting on the second floor of Linjiang Inn. Yang Datou remembered how he was timid and curious about everything when he first entered the inn, and couldn't help laughing.
Shopkeeper Hua raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "What's going on? Is there something on my face?"
Yang Datou shook his head, "Shopkeeper, I want to talk to you."
Shopkeeper Hua sat upright and said, "Please tell me."
Yang Datou stood up and bowed respectfully to Shopkeeper Hua, "Shopkeeper, thanks to you these years, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Hey! That's what I said! I should be the one thanking you! If it weren't for you, my inn might have been knocked down by Mingjiang Inn long ago. How could it be like this today? You asked me to go up to the second floor to say It’s about leaving, right?”
Seeing that Yang Datou was shocked, Shopkeeper Hua smiled and motioned for him to sit down and talk, "Actually, I had expected such a day when Madam Jiang was conferred the title of Mrs. Muyi by the Holy Father. To be honest, at that time I thought The chef who will replace you has been found and is waiting for you to speak.
I didn't expect that you just gritted your teeth and continued to work, taking everything seriously, and even taught those apprentices very carefully. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't mention it. Later, Mrs. Muyi became Uncle Guang En, and I knew that you wanted to I won't be able to stay for long. "
Let Guang Enbo's eldest son be his chef. To be honest, Shopkeeper Hua is under a lot of pressure, especially when his scholar son is still absent and writes back from time to time, asking him to take care of this giant Buddha. He is under a lot of pressure. It's even bigger.
Now that Yang Datou took the initiative to talk to him, he had to clarify his words quickly without making the other party embarrassed. Look, how considerate he is!
Yang Datou lowered his eyes guiltily, "Don't you blame me?"
"Why should I blame you! To be honest, it's really unfair to keep your skills here with me. The world is huge, and a prosperous place like Jiangnan in the capital is suitable for you. With your cooking skills, sooner or later you will become famous. Country." Shopkeeper Hua said with a confident face, so sincere that no hint of flattery could be heard.
Yang Datou was a little carried away, "Shopkeeper, you are so proud of me."
"No, no. I'm serious." Shopkeeper Hua continued to use his sharp tongue, "One more thing, you have been with me for so long, I really appreciate your cooking skills and character. , I hope you don’t miss it.”
“Huh?” Yang Datou didn’t quite understand.
Shopkeeper Hua whispered: "Have you heard of King Xiaoyao?"
Yang Datou shook his head vigorously, "I haven't heard of it."
Shopkeeper Hua smiled mysteriously, "That's just right. Let me tell you, this King Xiaoyao is the biological brother of the emperor's mother. He is a bit uneducated and unskilled. He is a famous libertine in the royal family. Fortunately, he is I am not flirtatious, although I like to hang out in the land of fireworks, but I am always willing to have **** with those women. I heard that not long ago, I had a passionate fight with Miss Fengyan, the oiran from Baihualou."
Shopkeeper Hua kept talking more and more obscenely, so Yang Datou quickly interrupted, "Then what? What does this have to do with me? Shopkeeper! You won't let me send beauties to King Xiaoyao! Who are we! We can't do this kind of thing." thing!"
"Bah, bah, bah! Vulgar!" The flower shopkeeper clapped his lips angrily, "What I'm saying is that this King Xiaoyao has two major hobbies in his life, one is beauty and the other is delicious food.
Do you know why the Gong family’s Yongtai Restaurant can become so big? It was precisely because the dishes prepared by his chef were in the taste of King Xiaoyao that King Xiaoyao once had to go to Yongtai Restaurant every day. The Gong family took advantage of King Xiaoyao's influence to make Yongtai Restaurant so big! Keren's love cannot last forever. It is normal to like the new and dislike the old. No, Xiaoyao Wang is now tired of the dishes cooked by the chefs in the capital. He said that after half a year of eating, he has not tasted anything that is satisfactory.
The emperor was heartbroken when he saw that his beloved brother had lost a lot of weight due to poor eating. He planned to hold a cooking competition at the end of this year. The winner would be able to cook at this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet and receive a thousand taels of reward. Jin, do you think this news is a good thing for you? "
If Yang Datou was still the poor boy he used to be, Shopkeeper Hua would definitely not have said so much to him. But today’s Yang family is no longer what it used to be. As long as Yang Datou wants to have status and money, he can go to the capital. Take a break.
Yang Datou was shocked by what Shopkeeper Hua said and stammered: "How can I, I, I, I, have such ability!"
If his mother-in-law hadn't been helping him behind the scenes, how could he be so good at cooking with his three-legged cat cooking skills? He was already very proud of cooking at Linjiang Inn. He had never thought of being able to escape to the capital. He even competed with chefs from all over Qi.
Seeing that he was timid, Shopkeeper Hua quickly advised him: "Don't be nervous! You must know that our Linjiang Inn is filled with diners from all over the world. People like your cooking. Doesn't that prove your ability? Be confident!" Stand up!"
"What are you talking about about me, me, me!" Yang Datou said it was a lie to say that he was not moved. Every man has a dream of becoming famous, but he knows his own weight better. Just thinking about this kind of thing is enough. How can I take action?
"Shopkeeper, let's not talk about this for now. Kunzi, Ah Cai, and Chen Ming in the kitchen are already ready to serve. We can all use the signature dishes of our inn. Don't worry about the rest. Take your time. You can find another one here. It’s okay for the chef to take over, or let them take the lead.”
"Yo! That's really **** you! I won't say anything. If you have any problems in the future, just come to my uncle. I will help you if you can!" Shopkeeper Hua was really moved.
When I assigned those people to the back kitchen, I wanted them to give Yang Datou a beating. It was their ability to learn a few tricks secretly. Unexpectedly, Yang Datou had no intention of hiding his secrets at all. He was really teaching them, so he rushed to them. For this, Shopkeeper Hua has to be grateful to Yang Datou from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Datou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that this time he would have some unpleasantness with Shopkeeper Hua when he quit his job. Who knew that Shopkeeper Hua was not only not angry, but also treated him so heartfeltly? How nice!
Yang Datou went down to the second floor of the inn and went back to the kitchen to explain that he was about to leave.
His three disciples looked at him with tears in their eyes.
Yang Datou was almost made to cry. As soon as he ran out of the inn, the waiter chased him and gave him a bag of silver. "Brother, I won't say anything else. I wish you better and better. This money is given to you by the shopkeeper." Take your wages."
Yang Datou glanced down and nodded slightly, "Good brother, my restaurant is on the street. Come and meet me for meat and wine when you have time."
The waiter smiled brightly, with some tears in his eyes.
When the waiter turned around and returned to the inn, Jiang Ning patted Yang Datou on the shoulder from behind, "What are you doing!"
If the two of them weren't aboveboard, Jiang Ning would have thought up the plot of Danmei and let his imagination run wild. What would happen?
Yang Datou was startled and turned around suddenly, "Aniang! Why are you here?"
