Chapter 18 Noodle Fragrance
We have to admit that God is unfair to people. Beautiful, he will be more likely to gain favor from others and more likely to gain trust. Some guys who are born like bad people will be suspected by others even if they are kind.
Wang Ning'an didn't think he had the habit of judging people by his appearance, but when he saw him, he really felt that this guy was not a good person. However, after a conversation, Wang Ning'an made a 180-degree turn to his opinion.
Xiang Hao worked very hard, and was the same as the new and old bosses. A clean and tidy restaurant was the best proof. He was very loyal. After the shopkeeper and the chef escaped, he did not think about running away, but stayed without hesitation. He was very loyal to his brothers, and a few young men followed the orders...
Wang Ning'an felt that a person's ability could be cultivated, but his character might not be necessary. So Wang Ning'an gave his father a wink, and the father nodded. After going out for a while, he called my mother and two little guys in.
The land deed of the restaurant was placed in front of Xiangyang.
"It's the boss here!" Xiang Hao was so excited that he was at a loss. He persisted for dozens of days and finally put down a huge burden. He felt relieved.
But when he remembered the situation just now, his face turned red again.
"The boss, I'm all blamed for being incompetent. If you want to drive me away, just drive me away. Let these brothers stay!"
Wang Ning'an said in confusion: "Why should I drive it away?"
"That..." Xiang Hao's eyes fell on the bowl of soup cakes he made. At this time, a egg was whipped on Chang Xiang Hao's face and it would be cooked in an instant.
Wang Ning'an smiled, "What he said is right, restaurants don't keep idle people."
Xiang Hao's face was even more miserable, and the other few people were not good-looking.
Wang Ning'an picked up two bowls of soup cakes and brought them to Xiangqiu, indicating that they would eat them. Xiang Hao didn't understand the meaning, so he obediently picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
I just ate the soup cake made by Wang Ning'an. If I take this again, it is no different from taking medicine. Everyone is frowning, like swallowing medicine.
"You all remember this taste. Within seven days, I learned to make soup cakes from me and reached my level. If you have become a master, you will not reach it. After seven days, I will get out of here!"
"Seven days?" The little Russian exclaimed. The last chef said that cooking was the most difficult. Without three to five years of training, he would not have any disciples. Could it be that he wanted to drive them away?
Xiang Hao doesn't think so. He feels that if he has the opportunity to learn, he always has to do his best. He can really learn some skills. Even if he is driven away, he will have a bite of food.
"Don't worry, young master, we must study hard!" Xiang Hao said gritting his teeth.
...
When doing business, you must do a good job in market research. Haifeng Restaurant is the best and most luxurious restaurant outside Xiaonanmen. Think about it, can the inheritance left by my grandfather to my daughter be bad?
But the problem is that my grandfather was seriously ill. After several months, the Bai family had no time to take care of it. He used an unscrupulous shopkeeper. He abducted all the money in the account, and the chef took away all the ingredients and seasonings in the warehouse. Now Wang Ning'an has taken over the restaurant. To put it bluntly, it's just an empty shell... No, it's still a bad reputation!
These days when I am doing business, I have all my original customers run away.
Originally, Wang Ning'an thought about developing cooking and selling it to rich people to earn their money. But now, the counter is empty and they don't have much money in their hands and cannot purchase expensive ingredients. Even if they make it, they have a bad reputation and the customers can't come up for a while, and they will lose money.
"Dad, mom, I think we're going to make some hard money."
Bai sighed, "Dad passed away and gave me the shop. I really have no shame to bother your uncle and the others again. Isn't it just to endure hardship? I haven't suffered any hardships in these years, it's nothing!"
Wang Liangjing also nodded and said, "Ning'an, what do you think you should do?"
"Cooking is just about two ends, one is rich and the other is poor. If you cannot take the high-end route, you must be down-to-earth enough. I calculated that most of the merchants outside the Xiaonan Gate are foreign merchants, and the neighboring rural people will carry goods from ten miles to Cangzhou before dawn. When the city gate is closed at night, they will disperse. In any case, lunch is required. As long as we have enough food, it is best to have some oil and water to ensure that it can be sold well."
Wang Ning'an calculated that the food was too expensive, and the pancakes had to be filled with fillings. They could not afford even the cheapest pork. The lowest cost was noodles.
That’s right, it’s not soup cakes, but noodles!
It is enough to make noodles with white noodles, and you don’t even need particularly good white noodles. The key is to have moderate softness and hardness. You can put in a lot of effort in kneading dough. It seems that what you don’t lack the most at the moment is strength.
The rest is cooking noodles. If you want the noodles to be delicious, you can buy some sheep bones on the soup, boil sheep bone soup with clean water, and serve with vegetables. If there is a little chili oil, it will definitely make people sweat all over. It doesn’t matter if there is no chili oil. You can stir-fry a little meat sauce. Just a little bit of it can satisfy the poor people’s desire for meat...
I decided to make up my mind. In the next seven days, including Wang Liangjing, everyone accepted Wang Ning'an's special training and learned how to stretch a ball of dough into thin noodles.
From morning to night, there was almost no moment to rest. After seven days, several of them filled their stomachs with strange noodles. They felt nauseous when they heard the noodles.
The noodles that can pass through the needle nose are not made, but in fact, Wang Ning'an can't do it for the time being, but they can already stretch noodles about the same thickness as tribute fragrance, with the specifications similar to those of later generations.
After Wang Ning'an checked, he was very satisfied.
"Our Haifeng Building will be reopened!"
...
"From tomorrow, all the matters in the restaurant will be left to Xiang Hao to handle." Wang Ning'an said to his father during the night.
Wang Liangjing has been practicing stretching noodles these days, and his shoulders are about to be folded. He was thinking about showing off his skills, but he actually gave them all to Xiang Hao. His son is not sick!
"Dad, think about it, we are responsible for the management, but we are just inheriting the legacy of our grandfather, without any gimmicks. If Xiang Hao is allowed to be responsible, a military officer will be transformed into a military force, a loyal friend, an indomitable brave man, smart and witty, and work hard to find a new style of soup cake, which will bring the store back to life... Which one is more attractive?"
Wang Liangjing gave him a blank look, "I'm not a fool, but if I want to hand over the shop to Xiang Hao, what are we doing?"
"Regovern the account! As long as you grab the money, the shop will not be able to escape."
"Then, then why did you ask me to pull noodles?"
Wang Ning'an thought for a long time and said earnestly: "As the head of the family, shouldn't we light up our cooking skills and work hard for the family's food and drink?"
Wang Liangjing's pupils shrank suddenly, "Little bastard, you asked your father to cook for you, right? I won't beat you to death!" Wang Liangjing hit him with a fist. Wang Ning'an had already noticed it, turned around and ran away.
"Stop it!"
"The fool just stopped!"
The two of them ran and chased each other, causing chaos. Wang Ningze and Wang Luoxiang slapped the window, slapped the face, and shouted, "Brother, come on, run quickly! The big bad wolf is chasing you!"
Wang Liangjing simply stopped chasing Wang Ning'an, and turned around and came to fight for the two naughty children.
...
"Young boss, I'm afraid it won't work!" Xiang Hao was so sad that he looked fierce, so he became even more scary.
Wang Ning'an was so angry that he punched him, "Tell you, men can't say no! You haven't seen anything in the prison camp, are you afraid of such a little scene?"
"No, it's different. Young Master, you'd better go. I'll just be responsible for cooking noodles at the hall."
"No!" Wang Ning'an said fiercely: "In order to open the business today, I have regarded all the donkey carts. You and your brothers can marry a wife and pass on the family line. This is the only way to do this! Don't you want everyone to be single for the rest of your life, right?"
Xiang Hao grinned, "Can you really get a wife?"
"Nonsense, I'm done, I promise that within three years, you will all get married!"
Xiang Hao has nothing to say this time, so he can only fight!
He raised his chest and went outside the restaurant. The little Russian lit firecrackers, which made a crackling sound, which immediately attracted many people to gather.
I tried hard to remain calm, but my face was still flushed.
After a long time, I put a sentence in my mind, "Dear guests, young and old, the store will be reopened today, and will be 30% off!"
After he finished speaking, no one wanted to enter the store, but someone laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
"30% off? We don't eat any discount!"
Xiang Hao's face was already red, and suddenly turned into pig liver color. I didn't know what to do, but suddenly a group of people, almost twenty or thirty, rushed over.
"Congratulations to the shopkeeper for opening up, good luck!"
"I have many blessings to congratulate the shopkeeper!"
"Come on, give us a bowl of rotten meat noodles each!"
...
Someone really came to buy it, and Xiang Hao almost cried, "Please please, please!"
Walking behind the crowd, there was an old man with a big mouth. He asked for a bowl of rotten meat noodles, picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The noodles were vigorous, the soup was mellow, the white noodles, green dishes, and the meat was cooked so hard that he opened his appetite. In a short while, a large bowl of noodles was eaten clean.
The people next to him were also surprised, "Old Han, the noodles in this restaurant are so good. There is no such delicious food in Cangzhou City. You really have a vision!"
