Hong Kong Chef [1980s]

In Mong Kok, there was a restaurant that had been open for over thirty years, filled with guests and praised by diners.

However, prosperity also hid a crisis: the owner was old with no succes...

Chapter 48 Red and Green

Chapter 48 Red and Green

After the rain, the sky is blue. As the saying goes: red and green are a perfect match, and it is a very bright rose pink.

How can I wear this? Yue Ning was pushed in by Zhao Xiru and put on the skirt reluctantly.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I actually look... strangely... strangely good-looking.

She doesn't need to reconcile with her parents in her previous life, but she can reconcile with the color pink. Dad, Uncle Mo and Grandpa all want her to wear a pink dress.

She walked out, Zhao Xiru holding a pair of peacock blue suede high heels in her hand. She put down the high heels, clapped her hands and said, "This is the effect I want."

Zhao Xiru tapped her head, as if thinking about something, and then went to get a handbag of the same color: "Shoes and bags, match them together and show me."

Let's change! Yue Ning put on her shoes, picked up her small bag, and asked, "How is it?"

The high-waisted long skirt makes Yue Ning look even more slender. The sky blue color is elegant and cool, while the rose pink is rich and saturated. The contrast is too strong.

Zhao Xiru even admired herself for being able to come up with such a genius combination.

"I think you are tall enough, and this pair of embroidered shoes is also very nice." Zhao Xiru looked at the exquisite embroidered shoes and said, "What should I do? It's hard for me to choose."

"I think this pair of high heels is better. The color is darker, which can match the color of the skirt and is more formal. After all, they are all wearing suits and ties. Embroidered slippers are more suitable for daily wear with white trousers or jeans." Yue Ning expressed his thoughts.

Zhao Xiru said, "I'll listen to you."

Grandpa asked her to buy clothes. If Zhao Xiru bought them here, her sister would probably give them to her directly. Besides, she has to live broadcast tonight and compete in making fish soup tomorrow. It's too much to go shopping at this time.

Yue Ning took the clothes and asked Cui Huiyi to take her home.

Cui Huiyi also knew that she was busy these days. Even though she wanted to discuss the soy sauce chicken noodles yesterday, she didn't want to distract her at this time.

She said, "When Baohua Building reopens and you are free, we can talk again?"

"Okay! When this is over, I'll go to your place to try out the recipe and make the dough cake."

In my previous life, the classic soy sauce fried noodles in tea restaurants were available with a choice of bamboo noodles or instant noodles. The seasoning was actually very simple and could be fried or mixed, and was easy to spread.

When Yue Ning returned to Baohua Building, Uncle Rong and his wife were relieved and decided not to stay overnight in Gangcheng. They rushed back to Macau with their children.

The TV station sent a working group over to communicate, led by a lady who spoke very quickly, acted decisively, and had a very queen-like demeanor.

She seemed to have hosted many large-scale events. Even when she received such an urgent project, she was still very organized and even invited several gourmets from Hong Kong. Among them were talented people who loved gourmet food, chefs from high-end Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong, and Sister Le Mei who cooked with housewives from all over Hong Kong. The audience judges were drawn by lottery tickets. Those who were drawn registered and entered the audience judges' seats, and those who were not drawn sat according to the seats on the lottery tickets...

There are professionals to handle it. All Baohua Building needs to do is to follow the plan and the stove staff will be in place around 7 o'clock tomorrow. The change in the time and location of the competition has been sent out through television and radio.

It is necessary for me to look up to Cai Zhiyuan at a 45-degree angle.

I wanted to invite Miss Su to dinner, but she immediately refused. This project was too urgent, many details needed to be finalized, and she had to supervise the set construction overnight.

Yue Ning accidentally heard a TV station staff member say behind her back: "One word from the prince makes Sister Su run herself to pieces."

"That's her own wish. There are plenty of opportunities out there. Why would she want to be exploited by Cai Zhiyuan like this?"

For himself, Yue Ning was grateful for Miss Su's efforts. Without her, he would not have been able to fulfill his promise to compete on time. However, from Miss Su's point of view... he only heard a few words and could not express his opinion. If it was for Cai Zhiyuan's rotten cucumber, it would be too worthless.

She sent Miss Su to the street corner, and when she returned, Uncle Wei, who was running a roast meat stall for the evening market, spread his hands to her and said that in ten minutes, the roast meat that usually lasted for a whole evening at Baohua Building had been sold out.

"Let's go in and have dinner. After dinner, we'll make the sauce for the crispy skin and the roast pork together." Yue Ning said to A Wei.

"Didn't you just tell Ding Shengqiang that the recipe is not open to the public?" Ah Wei was a little depressed when he heard these words from others. Putting himself in Ning Ning's shoes, he felt that what Ning Ning said was right. Why should he tell them the secret recipe?

"Ding Shengqiang is the disciple who stabbed me in the back, and you are the disciples who did not leave my grandfather in the most difficult times. How can you be the same?"

Ah Wei asked: "Aren't you afraid that the recipe will be leaked?"

"But I have to do everything by myself? There is only one Baohua Building now. When we open branches in the future, or even more than one branch, I won't be able to assign many people. What should I do then?" Yue Ning answered the question irrelevantly.

Drawing pie in the sky is a skill that bosses must master. The pie in the sky must make subordinates believe that it will come true, and they must believe that the pie in the sky is highly relevant to them, but it cannot be too straightforward.

Awei never thought that Baohualou would open a branch. He was a man without much ambition and came to the industry late. Unlike Brother Rong and the others, he did not start from a small shop following his master.

Baohualou's business is already big, and the chef has limited energy to focus on the areas they are good at. This is why he is better at roast meat and Ming is better at clay pot rice.

The master treated them well, with wages and bonuses, and it was not bad to work here for a lifetime, until Ding Shengqiang opened Shenghualou across the street and pressed forward, treating the master as if he were the enemy who killed his father. He was also panicked, but thought that at worst he could find Brother Rong and ask Brother Rong to introduce him to a job running a barbecue stall.

Ningning said she would open a semicolon, what did she mean? Ah Wei said: "Don't worry! I will also take good care of the other guys and prevent them from having too much contact with the opponent."

"Don't worry! After tomorrow, even if you give them the recipe, it will be useless."

Seeing Yue Ning's confidence, Ah Wei said, "Let him know that Baohualou is the authentic fish soup."

Yue Ning didn't comment. They went in and had a simple meal. After teaching A Wei, Yue Ning went back to her room to change her skirt. There was still more than half an hour left, so she finally had time to have a cup of tea with her grandfather.

Yue Baohua was drinking tea when he saw his granddaughter wearing a dark pink dress. Yesterday, he saw Ningning's clothes were either plain or gorgeous, but not a single pink one. He was also worried that his granddaughter didn't like the room he and Sister Hua had decorated.

Now seeing her in this dress, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa, does it look good?" Yue Ning turned around. "I've never worn a pink dress before. Dad and Uncle Mo both wanted me to wear one, but in the northwest, there are only a few colors. And I have dark skin, so I thought wearing pink would make my skin look darker. Sister Xiru asked me to try it, wow! I think it looks great."

"It looks good, very good." Yue Baohua said sincerely.

Yue Ning sat next to Yue Baohua and leaned against him: "Grandpa, next time I go back to Yuecheng, I can buy pink brocade fabric. There are so many pink brocades and they are so beautiful. I didn't dare to buy them before, but now I feel like I missed out."

Yue Baohua was filled with joy: "Buy them all, buy them all."

There was a knock on the door and Yue Ning ran to open it.

Ajie held the documents in both hands: "Are you going out?"

After he asked this question, he realized that his question was a bit redundant, and quickly said, "By the way, I have to participate in the show."

"Yes!" Yue Ning said.

"I saw you were busy at noon, so I didn't come to disturb you. I have classes in the afternoon, and when I come back someone will be here. Is it okay now?" Ajie asked.

"Okay! Okay!"

Ajie was afraid that Yue Ning would not understand it all of a sudden, so he took out the materials and explained them to her one by one.

Yue Ning went to the front desk to get a pen and paper, and according to what Ajie said, he quickly wrote a summary for each document.

"Yes, these types are the key points..."

When Yue Ning invited Ajie in, she thought the TV station staff would be there soon, so she didn't close the door. The two of them were so engrossed in their discussion that she didn't notice Qiao Junxian coming in.

"Master Junxian, why are you here?"

Yue Baohua's voice reminded Yue Ning, and Yue Ning looked back.

When Ajie saw someone coming, he said, "These are enough for you to look at for a while. If you have any questions, make a list for my mother and make an appointment. I will help you look at it again."

"Okay. Thank you!"

Ajie said hello to Yue Baohua: "Uncle Hua, I'm leaving now."

"good."

He nodded to Qiao Junxian before leaving.

Seeing that the door was not wide enough, Qiao Junxian opened it a little wider to allow him to walk more smoothly.

Yue Ning walked to the door and watched Ajie walk away, then asked Qiao Junxian: "What are you worried about? Didn't I tell you? Admit that you like him, and talk about it as if you like your idol..."

"I'm here to pick you up on behalf of HTV." Qiao Junxian used a declarative sentence, "My cousin sent me to pick you up."

Yue Ning was annoyed: "This brother thinks the incident is not big enough and wants it to be bigger? Have you ever seen an idol pick up fans in person?"

"My uncle-in-law is your Uncle Mo, so he can be considered as half your adoptive father, right? You were in Gangcheng, and something happened that was related to me. Can this be a pure relationship between an idol and a fan?" asked Qiao Junxian.

Yes, she was speechless, Yue Ning picked up the bag and said, "Let's go!"

Qiao Junxian looked at her and said, "The air conditioning in the live broadcast room is very strong. You will feel cold if you wear this. Put on a coat."

All right! Yue Ning packed the documents on the table into a bag. Qiao Junxian wanted to help her carry it, but Yue Ning said, "Can't I carry this much?"

Qiao Junxian withdrew his hand. He didn't dare to compete with her in strength.

Yue Ning carried a bag in each hand, carrying the documents upstairs, entered the room, and opened the closet. Red and green were already matched, so the golden dragon and phoenix flower jacket definitely wouldn't work, and the red Baoxiang flower, this red and rose red are not the same tone. Only this indigo-colored auspicious cloud pattern brocade jacket and the sky-blue blouse, shoes and leather bag, all belong to the green-blue color system in terms of color, but the depth is different.

Yue Ning put on his coat but left it unbuttoned. If he did, it would have been a little imperfect without a Hetian mutton-fat jade placket on top of the buttons.

Yue Ning came downstairs and came to Qiao Junxian: "Is this okay?"

Qiao Junxian's heart skipped a beat. The first time he saw her, she was wearing a blue homespun shirt with two braids, and he felt that she was like a pearl wrapped in oil paper. In the department store in the northwest, she changed into a blue shirt, a simple style, made of rough cotton, but she wore it in a fashionable way like a girl from Hong Kong. Today, she was wearing another blue outfit, and this coat was flowing and gorgeous, as if she had returned to her original appearance.

The scene his cousin described emerged in Qiao Junxian's mind: Yue Ning was drinking tea with his grandfather and his father, and he had to stand in front of them and listen to their advice on how to do business. Qiao Junxian felt a little overwhelmed.

"Grandpa, we're leaving." Yue Ning took out the key and said, "Don't wait for me at the door. I have the key."

Yue Baohua sent her out: "Got it."

Watching the child and Qiao Junxian go out, Yue Baohua smiled. Even though he knew it, how could he not wait?
