Chapter 60 Greed for Money

"Go and call Shopkeeper Wu."

"Yes." Ai Cao received the order and hurried to shout.

Su Yujin stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Second Master, there is something wrong with this dish. I'll go ask about it."

"Go ahead." He Yanxiu watched Su Yujin carry out the dish of fried chicken with pea sprouts, and the chopsticks in his hand paused slightly.

I don’t know when he will be able to taste the food.

Maybe, soon? Su Yujin was carrying the dishes out of the private room when Wu Jiantong hurried over. "Miss Su, I heard from Miss Ai Cao that you called me."

"This dish was already cold when it was served. It felt like it took at least a cup of tea for the taste to become extremely bad." Su Yujin said, "So I want to ask if the coordination between the various waiters was not right, resulting in no one serving the cooked dishes, which caused the dishes to be left cold."

Wu Jiantong looked at the dish in Su Yujin's hand.

The bean sprouts were already a little wilted, the chicken slices looked poor in appearance, and the plate was already cold. It was obvious that it had been left out for a long time as Su Yujin had said.

but……

"In order to prevent the dishes from getting cold in winter, the racks in the kitchen are made of iron and grilled with charcoal fire underneath to ensure that the dishes are warm and suitable for eating after a short wait."

Wu Jiantong said, "It's only a few steps from the kitchen to the private room, so this shouldn't have happened. But I'm not sure if something went wrong. Don't worry, Miss Su. I'll go ask the waiter who serves the dishes."

Since he became the head manager of Huibin Restaurant, Su Yujin has exercised his power extremely thoroughly. Everything is based on his opinion, and he rarely gets involved in any matters of the restaurant.

Su Yujin had the great pleasure of having a meal at her family's restaurant today, and she came with distinguished guests. She should have behaved well, but something like this happened, which was really a slap in the face.

Wu Jiantong was embarrassed and took the matter very seriously. He promptly called the waiter who had just served the dishes over.

The young man was hired, and he was only fifteen years old. When he saw the shopkeeper calling him, and it was his first time meeting the boss, he dared not say a word. He lowered his head and asked in a mosquito-like voice, "I wonder what the shopkeeper and the boss want me to do for you?"

"This dish was a little cold when it came up just now, so I asked you what happened." Wu Jian said.

"So that's what happened." The waiter breathed a sigh of relief. "This dish was originally prepared first. When I went to serve it, I saw that it was placed on the table next to it, and it was not kept warm on the warm plate. So I thought of serving it first, but Uncle Zheng stopped me and said that this dish would taste better only when it was cooled down, and asked me to serve it last. So I followed Uncle Wu's advice and served it last."

Wu Jiantong was immediately surprised when he heard this, "Why did Chef Wu deliberately let the dishes cool down?"

Su Yujin, "..."

Why else?

Maybe he knew she was eating here, so he used this dish to say something.

Su Yujin brushed away the black hair on her head and asked Ai Cao to carry the dish. "It's okay. You guys go about your business. I'll go talk to Uncle Zheng."

This is the cooking job of the chef in the kitchen, and is not under the jurisdiction of him as the head shopkeeper.

Wu Jiantong responded and took his waiter to work.

Su Yujin and Ai Cao went downstairs, crossed the lobby and went to the kitchen.

It was already past lunchtime and most people had finished eating in the restaurant. Occasionally, some people who were greedy for wine would order another dish, but they were a minority, so the kitchen was not busy at this time. Some waiters had already started washing the dishes and clearing up the kitchen waste.

Zheng Mingyuan was cooking the sauce for some dishes for dinner. When he saw Su Yujin and Ai Cao coming over, he quickly handed the big iron spoon in his hand to Zeng Dayong and asked him to get busy first.

"The boss is finally here." Zheng Mingyuan chuckled, "It seems that my dish was not scolded in vain."

"Uncle Zheng, if there is anything, just ask the waiter to call me." Su Yujin said with a little helplessness.

"If I send someone to call you, you might not come." Zheng Mingyuan curled his lips, "This restaurant has been open for so long, how many times has the owner come here? Even when he comes here to get a dish, he asks Ai Cao and the others to come. I was afraid that I couldn't invite them, so I just used this method."

Since she was accompanying a distinguished guest, she naturally attached great importance to the dishes. This method was actually the quickest.

It's not surprising that Zheng Mingyuan came up with this idea.

Su Yujin held her forehead and smiled, "I have been really busy these days because of the relatives who came to my house. Recently, I saw that the kitchen of this restaurant has you, Uncle Zheng, as the pillar, and all other matters are taken care of by Manager Wu, so I just became lazy and became a hands-off manager."

"Next time if I haven't come to the restaurant for a long time and Uncle Zheng wants me to come, there is a better way."

"What method?" Zheng Mingyuan was extremely curious.

Is there any way to make Su Yujin care more than messing up the dish? "Next time, just say that the water tank in the kitchen has become a spirit and the water poured into it has turned into silver. I promise to come and rob the money, even if knives rain from the sky, and run faster than anyone else."

Su Yujin's teasing made everyone present burst into laughter.

"Miss Su, don't worry about it. If this water jar can really spit out silver, I'm afraid that the master will carry the water jar away by himself. He will have to carry it back home at the risk of his life. It will definitely not be your turn." Zeng Dayong said jokingly.

"Ghost boy, when have I ever been so greedy for money?"

"If Master is not greedy for money, why did you collect this month's wages for me and keep them for me? I wanted to buy some cloud cakes to eat, but you said I was greedy and refused to give them to me?"

"I'm just worried that you'll spend money recklessly, so I'm saving the money to buy you a house and marry you off!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"You've been saying this since I followed Master. It's been seven or eight years..."

"Shut up!"

This game ended with Zheng Mingyuan giving Zeng Dayong a slap in the face.

"Since the boss is here, why don't you try the new dishes I've developed these days?" Zheng Mingyuan said as he worked. "Didn't the boss just say that his relatives are here? It's a good opportunity for you to have a taste too, right?"

"Yes, what kind of relative is coming from the host's family?"

"Second...Second cousin!"

So that's it.

Since he is my second cousin, he should be quite old.

Older people like to eat strong-flavored, soft food, and the dishes he made were just right! Zheng Mingyuan was very excited and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Su Yujin went to the private room and waited for the waiter to bring up the dishes.

He Yanxiu had almost finished eating. When he saw Su Yujin coming back, he asked, "What happened just now?"

"It's nothing serious. The chef here felt that I hadn't come to the restaurant for a while, and no one tried the new dishes he developed. He had some complaints, so he deliberately made the dish a little unpalatable to lure me to find him."

Su Yujin smiled and said, "There will be some new dishes served later, Second Master, please try them with me."

He Yanxiu, who was already full, said, "..."

If I had known, I wouldn’t have eaten so much.

but……

He Yanxiu is very old: "..."
