"Xiaolongbao." Chen Nian thought for a while...

"Xiaolongbao is OK. Guests who come to the store for breakfast often ask if there is any Xiaolongbao. This is easier than noodles. I will study it when I have time."

Seeing Chen Nian agreeing, He Hai showed joy on his face. In fact, he wanted to eat Xiaolongbao, but he was embarrassed to say that, after all, everyone eats whatever they have in the store every day, and they choose from it. Ordering the dishes that are not in the store seems to be particularly pretentious.

But after Chen Nian agreed, he looked at Qiao Zhaomei and her mother who had just arrived.

"By the way, do you know how to make Xiaolongbao? Mom, I remember you're making buns." Chen Nian asked.

"Yes, yes, just make the dough work, make the filling, and then wrap it in the bun. Anyway, if you want to make a big bun, make the dough bigger, and if you want a small bun, make the dough smaller."

"What about kneading and awakening?"

"I just look at the feeling," said Feng Honghong, "so it's different every time it's made. Sometimes it's delicious and sometimes it's not delicious."

Chen Nian thought to himself: OK, this is another chef of the genre of consciousness.

Qiao Zhaomei also shook her head: "The Guangdong restaurant I used to have had Xiaolongbao, steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings, etc., but these are made by the pastry master, so I don't know either."

Chen Nian sighed, thinking that this was all up to me, but I will go to Miaomiaowu to shoot tomorrow afternoon. I will ask Miaomiaowu again, maybe she will!

In the afternoon, Lu Xiao called her home and said that she would not come back for dinner tonight, but would come back at about eight or nine o'clock.

In addition to visiting some stores that he had previously loved, Lu Xiao also went to several more famous cake shops in Chengdu to buy some snacks, and by the way, he found out the truth.

"Okay, be careful, don't stay outside too late. Call your aunt if you have any questions." Feng Honghong reminded him to the phone.

Although his niece is already twenty-seven years old, in Feng Honghong's eyes, the other party is still a child.

Time flies. As the store sells fewer and fewer ingredients, more and more plates and bowls in the dishwasher, the sky gradually becomes darker, and the people coming to eat gradually become thinner.

Not long after, Lu Xiao came back.

"How is it?" Chen Nian was not too busy at this time, and the few customers who came here just now had home-cooked dishes, so Chen Nian simply asked Xie Yu to cook them. He came outside to drink a sip of water. While drinking water, he saw Lu Xiao enter the door and asked curiously.

"I feel that the cake shops in these big places are not much different from ours. The store decoration is more luxurious. Some larger stores may have more types of pastries, and there are more high-end and beautiful pastries." Lu Xiao said.

Chen Nian nodded: "Indeed, because consumption is different, the cakes or bread they make in places with high consumption will have more gimmicks in shape and appearance, and there are many stores that allow customers to dine in in the store."

"I have also discovered this. The cake shops we have bought are basically bought and eaten. There are no tables and chairs in the shop. But I saw that many cake shops in Chengdu are equipped with tables and chairs, and there are drinks, which allow customers to sit down and rest while eating and drinking." Lu Xiao said in agreement.

"Yes, because there may be more tourists in Chengdu, and there are more young people going out to shop during rest. If you just sell cakes and bread, many people will not go in. After all, you still have to go shopping later. It is inconvenient to carry things in your hands. If there is a place to rest, you can attract many customers." Chen Nian explained the reason.

But after the explanation, Chen Nian asked again: "Sister, how are you looking at the store? Do you still have to go and see it tomorrow?"

Lu Xiao nodded, sat down and took a break while drinking tea and said, "Yes, I'll go and have a look tomorrow. There are two or three other stores I've talked about before, and I can finish watching it in the morning. In the afternoon, I'll take the bus around and go around, maybe I'll meet some more."

After Chen Nian finished talking, it was Feng Honghong's turn to interrupt: "Xiaoxiao, come to the store tomorrow morning for breakfast, we have breakfast in the restaurant."

"Okay." Lu Xiao agreed immediately.

It was around 10 o'clock in the evening and everyone left after get off work, but Qiao Zhaomei saw that Chen Nian had no intention of leaving, and asked curiously: "Boss, aren't you going home?"

At this time, Xie Yu explained: "Master stays in the store for much longer than us every day. After ten o'clock, he will stay in the store to practice cooking when we get home from get off work. Look at so many dishes on the wall, there is only one dish of Mapo tofu from the beginning, and the boss learns it with this extra time every day."

Qiao Zhaomei also knew about the fact that there was only one dish at the beginning of Honghong Hotel. After all, he also checked the matter about Honghong Hotel online yesterday after successfully applying for the job. This legendary story about the boss is naturally also recorded.

"The boss is really working hard. I also want to learn from the boss. Boss, can I stay and practice with you every day?" Qiao Zhaomei asked suddenly.

After hearing Qiao Zhaomei's words, Xie Yu quickly pulled Qiao Zhaomei aside before Chen Nian answered: "Zhaomei, don't ask this question. Although the boss practices in the store every day, sometimes the boss's friends come over, and we suspect that one of them is the boss's girlfriend. Don't you stay here as a light bulb? If you want to practice, you can go home to practice. He Hai and I only practice after we go home every day." Qiao Zhaomei suddenly realized when she heard this.

Then he quickly said, "Boss, I thought about it and I'd better go home and practice at home. Anyway, my girlfriend eats late at night, so I just went back to cook for her, just treat it as exercise."

"Zhaomei, what is your girlfriend doing?"

"She is a writer. I used to be her reader. Later, I joined her book friend group and met her after a while. I happened to learn that she was in Chengdu. After we had an online dating for two years, we came to Chengdu to find her."

"Then what you said before, did you come to Chengdu because you like Chengdu food?" Chen Nian suddenly thought that Qiao Zhaomei seemed to say that before.

"Yes, that's part of the reason, but everything comes in a very coincidental way."

"Okay, then I won't keep you." Chen Nian suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I know you actually practice after you go home every day, but you have to buy vegetables and meat at home. That's it. Each of you three will be given an extra 200 yuan from next month. Then you can buy some ingredients home to practice."

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, boss!"

"Okay, then you guys go home from get off work and be careful on the way."

"Okay, goodbye, boss!"

"Goodbye, Master!"

As they said that, the three of them left Honghong Hotel, but after walking out of Honghong Hotel, Qiao Zhaomei found that the route she and the two of them were the same.

"Your family is here too?"

"Yes." He Hai nodded, "Then are you living with your girlfriend?"

"Yes, we rented a house and she was responsible for paying the rent, so I was responsible for other expenses in life." Qiao Zhaomei's face was filled with happiness when she talked about this topic.

"It's great. My girlfriend is still in her hometown. She has always wanted to come to me, but I was afraid that I would be unstable here before, so I didn't let her come. Today I will go back and ask. If she comes, I will rent a bigger house." He Hai said.

"Yes, you still have to be together if you can bring your girlfriend together, otherwise you will easily break up over time. Even if you encounter a little conflict, you may get angry. Over time, you will quarrel more and more. Maybe after a quarrel, you will be in a state of depression." Xie Yu said.

"It seems that Brother Xie is a veteran." He Hai couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xie Yu, who was half a head taller than him.

"Oh, I won't mention the things I did back then. Anyway, I'm already married now. In short, when you can be with me, try not to have a long-distance relationship."

Hearing the two of them talking about the topic of love, Qiao Zhaomei asked again: "By the way, has our boss always been so generous? He said that the salary is just the salary. I only got two hundred on the first day of my visit today. I feel that he is so willful."

Xie Yu patted Qiao Zhaomei on the shoulder: "It will be better to get used to it later. There is nothing we can't say about our salary here. I don't know if our master told you. I have come to Honghong Hotel three or four months ago and it has increased by about 2,000 now. He Hai is the same. Not only that, we have also learned the technology."

"I increased my salary by 2,000 yuan in three or four months?" Qiao Zhaomei felt a little unbelievable, because he remembered that Chen Nian and He Hai had said that when He Hai first came, he was still a choreographer who knew nothing!

"He Hai may have been a little longer, and he has been here for half a year." Xie Yu said again.

"It's so amazing, I feel like my future is bright."

"Yes, at least the salary paid by Honghong Hotel is higher than the standards of the same industry, and the more important thing is that it can still learn things. Honghong Hotel will continue to expand sooner or later, or open a branch. So although you are a scattered person now, it is impossible to be a scattered person for the rest of your life. How much technical content can you have when cutting vegetables and buying vegetables?

Since you like cooking, take a good look at it at work and study it carefully. When you have the opportunity, you can naturally be as independent as us. And you can feel at ease with this. I feel that although our master is still young and looks more Buddhist on the surface, he is actually ambitious."

"Okay, I will work hard." Qiao Zhaomei said.

...

Only Chen Nian was left in the Honghong Hotel.

He was still making small noodles, and now he has been eating small noodles for several nights in a row as a midnight snack.

However, before making noodles, Chen Nian asked in the group again, who would like to come for a midnight snack? Tonight it will be pickled pepper chicken noodles.

As a result, after the news was sent out, everyone said that it might not work tonight.

Xiao Jing: "I really want to go, but today I happened to go out to shoot with a few friends from Chongqing. I still can't go back in Chongqing. It's really hard for me..."

Shen Qing: "After the company is going to work overtime for an hour and a half tonight, will your boss still open the door?"

Chen Nian: "I will probably close the door in an hour and a half and go back, next time."

Miaomiaowu: "I may not be able to go even if I shoot at home."

Xu Qiuluoye and others didn't say anything. They only sent one photo. The environment in the photo was dark and smeared, and there were two movie tickets next to it, showing that the time started at 10:00.

The movie will take at least one and a half hours, which means that even if they want to come, they can only have the same time as Shen Qing.

Yan Lili simply didn't send a message, but Chen Nian guessed that the other party should be studying now and had no time to look at the phone.

As a result, after a while, no one was willing to come. Just when Chen Nian was planning to make only one bowl and eat it himself, the WeChat rang again. He picked up his phone and saw that it was An Hongdou who was talking to him privately.

"No one has eaten with you? Otherwise, I'll go there? There's nothing to do at night. I originally planned to make instant noodles at home."

"Can you pickled pepper chicken and chicken dough? If I'm not used to it, I can also make pea dough noodles." Chen Nian asked.

"You're underestimating me now. I can eat anything. Don't worry, wait until I wash up and you'll arrive soon."

After putting down his phone, Chen Nian's face was filled with a smile again.

An Hongdou came soon after, wearing a white printed short-sleeved pair of ripped pants on her lower body, but the hole might be a little bigger, of course, it might be quite conservative to put it on the street.

But other things are the same as before, she is wearing a hat and a mask. No one can recognize her when she goes out at night.

"Are you still so careful?" Chen Nian smiled and joked after seeing An Hongdou.

"Yes, what if you are recognized? Although for those who sing like us, they may not be as famous as those singers who often appear on variety shows and hold concerts or come out of talent shows, they should be more careful."

Chen Nian nodded: "That's true, but I always feel that you are not busy at all lately, and it's completely different from other stars."

"It's okay, I just don't like all kinds of variety shows. The main reason is that some scripts are too obvious and they also have to hype CPs. If you are not careful, you will be scolded by other fans." An Hongdou said, "I actually have a job, and occasionally some media interview me, but those can be done through remoteness, and some advertisements can basically be finished in just half a day to a day."

"Then is there no company that wants to sign you? If you have a company, it should be better." Chen Nian asked curiously.

"Yes." An Hongdou nodded, "Actually, after I became popular, many companies have come to me. Basically, those big and small companies in the circle have come to ask me, but the requirements of those companies are very troublesome. Although they can provide me with a lot of resources, there are also many restrictions.

However, a company recently contacted me and said that their boss is also a singer in the circle and wants to sign me. After signing the contract, there are basically no restrictions. I can accept advertisements at any time. If I can't handle it, I can also let the company come forward. But if the company comes forward, it will be divided into 50%, but this is safer. If you want to play songs, tell the company, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to play songs."

"Then isn't this just free stock?"

"Yes, and there are still several thousand yuan in salary every month."

"That's really good." Chen Nian couldn't help but nod.

After signing people, there are too few companies that do not require singers to participate in events, tours, variety shows, and there are no need to forcefully speculate on CP with other celebrities.
