Chapter 103 Selling Cucumbers
Shen Zheng was afraid that Fang Xiaoluo would feel uncomfortable after hitting a wall, so he comforted her, "The next one will definitely work out."
Fang Xiaoluo looked at Shen Zheng and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not that stingy. I think my stuff is good, but it's always about fate. I definitely can't give it to someone who doesn't know the goods."
Shen Zheng asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Dongfeng Hotel."
The largest hotel in Jiangcheng is the Heping Hotel, and the Dongfeng Hotel is basically the second. When
the group arrived at the door of the Dongfeng Hotel, Fang Xiaoluo found that there was a recruitment notice posted at the door, recruiting a chef.
She opened the door. Although it looked like it was not yet business hours, a waiter came over immediately and was very friendly and polite. "Excuse me, how many people do you need a private room?"
Fang Xiaoluo said, "There are four of us, so we don't need a private room, but isn't it not business hours yet?"
The waiter said, "It's okay, you can sit down first, and you can rest without ordering."
As he said that, the waiter put down the chair by the window and wiped the table.
Fang Xiaoluo asked, "I saw a sign outside recruiting chefs?"
"Yes, if you have a recommendation, you can come to our hotel kitchen to taste the food." The waiter replied.
Fang Xiaoluo said, "I want to taste the food."
The waiter really didn't expect that such a beautiful girl would want to be a chef.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask in the back."
Shen Zheng asked, "Do you want to be a chef here?"
Fang Xiaoluo smiled, "How about it, am I qualified?"
Shen Zheng nodded, "Of course, the dishes cooked by the chef are not as delicious as yours."
After a while, the waiter just came back, "Hello, the chef in the back kitchen asked you to come over and try it."
Fang Xiaoluo stood up with two cucumbers in his hand, "You wait for me, I succeeded, we will eat here at noon."
Shen Jinxia's soft and sticky voice came, "Come on, Mom."
Fang Xiaoluo went to the back kitchen of Dongfeng Hotel to take a look, it was quite clean.
"Girl, you want to taste the food?" An uncle who looked to be in his fifties said cheerfully, "This job is tiring, and you need to have strong arms."
"Uncle, I'll make you a simple one first, and you'll know after you try it." Fang Xiaoluo was confident in the cucumbers grown by her spiritual spring water.
The uncle said, "Okay, what kind of cuisine are you good at?"
Fang Xiaoluo shook the two cucumbers in her hand, "Smashed cucumbers."
The others in the kitchen laughed, "Girl, you are not here to make trouble, are you?"
"That's right, smashed cucumbers, it will taste the same no matter how you smash them."
Fang Xiaoluo said, "I guarantee to give you a different taste, try it, how about it?"
Anyway, it was not time for dinner yet, and the people in the kitchen had prepared most of the dishes in the morning.
Besides, they thought that it would only take a few minutes to smash a cucumber.
The uncle in the lead said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see what you can do with your smashed cucumber."
Fang Xiaoluo washed her cucumber and put it directly on the chopping board.
The uncle came over and said, "Did you bring your own cucumber?"
Fang Xiaoluo nodded, "Yes."
She took a knife and started smacking the cucumber. After just two strokes, the whole kitchen was filled with the fragrance of the cucumber.
The uncle asked, "Where did you buy this cucumber? It tastes so good."
Fang Xiaoluo slashed the cucumber with her knife and put it directly into the plate, "I grew it myself."
She didn't add anything else to cover up the fragrance of the cucumber, and only sprinkled a little salt.
"Come, try it."
The uncle took the chopsticks, picked up a piece and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to add other seasonings?"
Fang Xiaoluo smiled and said, "No, it tastes good this way."
Although the people present smelled that the cucumber tasted good, but if only salt was added, it would be no different from a pickled cucumber.
The uncle in the lead put the cucumber into his mouth, chewed it twice, and his eyes lit up immediately. Then he put the second piece into his mouth.
Others asked as soon as they saw it, "Is it delicious?"
But the uncle didn't have time to answer them, and put one piece after another into his mouth.
Others noticed something was wrong and quickly took chopsticks to grab the cucumber.
Some people only grabbed one piece, and when they tried to pick it up again, it was gone.
After the meal, the chefs were still not satisfied.
"Girl, I see, it's not your cooking skills that are so good, it's the cucumbers that are good." The uncle said.
Fang Xiaoluo gave the uncle a thumbs up, "You know what's good."
"What smells so good, where are you cooking?" A middle-aged woman walked in.
The uncle said cheerfully, "Boss, aren't you looking for a chef? We're tasting dishes here."
The owner of the Dongfeng Hotel is Tang Jingxian. She is wearing a loose white shirt with a large collar and a pair of brown wide-legged pants.
Her hair is tied up and her sleeves are casually rolled up. She looks very casual and intellectual.
Tang Jingxian looked at the empty plate, "What is this? It's so delicious?"
The uncle said, "Boss, the cucumber this girl brought, how can I describe its taste, crisp and fresh, with a hint of sweetness. In short, I have never eaten cucumbers like this in my fifty years of life."
"By the way, boss, the cucumbers are not ours. The girl brought them herself."
Tang Jingxian looked up and down at the girl in front of her. She had never seen such a pretty girl. When she stood there, the whole kitchen brightened up.
"What's your name? Are you here to apply for the chef position?" 梗多面肥txt+V 一3五8845111零
Fang Xiaoluo said, "Hello, boss. My name is Fang Xiaoluo. Actually, I'm not here to apply for the chef position. I want to sell my cucumbers."
Tang Jingxian laughed, "You are a straightforward person."
Coming out of the kitchen, Tang Jingxian followed Fang Xiaoluo to sit in the window seat.
Fang Xiaoluo introduced them to Tang Jingxian, "This is my wife, and these are my son and daughter."
Tang Jingxian was very surprised. She couldn't understand how a young girl like Fang Xiaoluo could have such a big son.
But she was not a talkative person. She was only concerned about the cucumber that everyone in the kitchen praised.
"Do you have any more cucumbers?"
Fang Xiaoluo took out two more and handed them to her.
Tang Jingxian asked the waiter to wash them, cut them into strips and bring them over.
The cucumbers were placed on the plate, emerald green, and smelled very fragrant.
This time there was no salt. Tang Jingxian picked them up and ate them slowly.
She finished one and gave one to Shen Haiping and Shen Jinxia.
"You want to sell me this cucumber, but it's definitely not the market price. It's in season now, and the best quality cucumbers on the market are 70 to 80 cents per pound. Of course, if you send it to our hotel in bulk, the price will definitely be lower." This
