Chapter 348 Hit Where It Hurts
The two of them decided not to argue anymore. After everyone arrived, Zhao Xiaojing told everyone about the competition and the changes in the store. The store immediately became a mess again.
"Mirror Sister is amazing! If we win first place, will the TV station come to interview our store? I want to show it to my mom!"
"Then I can be on camera too, and I can call my mom too!"
"Come on, you two! The TV station will only interview Sister Mirror! Why are we interviewing you in our store? Sister Mirror, are you sure?"
"Everyone, stop! What if Junior Sister doesn't get a ranking? Wouldn't you embarrass her by saying this? And since you're all surrounding Junior Sister, isn't anyone congratulating Sister Geng? This is a promotion! Now, let's congratulate this lady on becoming store manager!"
"Congratulations to Ms. Geng Mingyan, who wishes to remain anonymous, for becoming store manager!"
"Old Geng, you're awesome! Congratulations on your promotion!" Hou Guihua smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't be seen, and immediately started clapping happily.
"Warm applause!" Lu Hongwen shouted, and everyone immediately followed suit with applause.
"How can I feel embarrassed? I'm not worthy of this position. Guihua should be given this position. Guihua is much better than me..." Geng Mingyan felt embarrassed.
"What nonsense! Xiao Zhao really recognizes you! You're the one who loves to worry, so that's the best fit! Haha..."
"Sister Hou, Sister Geng, you two are both capable. Either one of you is worthy of this title. This time Sister Geng is here, and next time we will become bigger and stronger, and Sister Hou will also be the title!"
"Yes, next time Sister Hou will be in charge too!"
Amidst the commotion, Zhao Xiaojing felt a headache again. After waiting for everyone to calm down and go back to their work, Zhao Xiaojing finally had time to talk to Yun Yongyuan and Wan Yuyue alone.
"Brothers and sisters, you are actually eligible to participate in this competition. There is an official registration channel, which is in the mini program. If you want to go, you can take a few days off in the store."
"I'm not going. Do you want to go?" Wan Yuyue turned her head and asked.
"I don't want to." Yun Yongyuan said.
So concise? So decisive? The words Zhao Xiaojing was about to say were instantly stuck in her throat.
"It's pointless for us to go. Instead of wasting time on layers of selection, in the end we can't even go to the official competition and don't meet the big names, we might as well concentrate on cooking and study what you taught us." Yun Yongyuan waved his hand casually.
"You go there and study hard. If you have the chance to learn from others, be sure to watch more and then come back to teach us!" Wan Yuyue clenched her fists excitedly.
"..." This time, Zhao Xiaojing completely believed that the two really didn't want to go. She nodded blankly and turned to walk towards Su Yuchen who was at the sink.
Su Yuchen had just explained the matter of hiring waiters to Ouyang Yidan in detail when Ouyang Yidan began to ponder with a frown on his face.
Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen looked at each other and looked at the thoughtful Ouyang Yidan with confusion.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say a few days ago that they all wanted to come? Don't they want to come now? Or have they found a job?" Su Yuchen asked.
"No, they all want to come, but I don't know who to choose!" Ouyang Yidan said frantically.
Zhao Xiaojing was speechless again. Su Yuchen poked Ouyang Yidan's head. "Then think carefully about who has a good personality and works hard! Once you've made up your mind, have them come in for an interview. I can't guarantee they'll be accepted, but they'll need the mirror to nod."
"That's right! I need Sister Mirror's approval!" Ouyang Yidan's eyes lit up. "Then I can just call them all over and let Sister Mirror choose!"
"You think you're picking cabbages? Call them all over, how can your sister, Mirror, refuse?" Su Yuchen saw Zhao Xiaojing's face full of despair, glared at her and nodded at Ouyang Yidan's head. "Only two can be called at a time!"
"Well, then I'll have them roll the dice, five at a time, and the highest number goes first!"
"..." Zhao Xiaojing was once again impressed by the amazing brain circuit.
…
At one in the afternoon, the front hall gradually became empty. Su Yuchen pretended to clear the plates and leaned over to whisper to Zhao Xiaojing. "Chef Gu is here and ordered two dishes for them to cook."
Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh. "It seems Master Gu is really keen on testing their skills. He's even come up with this idea. I even suggested letting them prepare the staff meal. What did they order?"
"Stir-fried pork liver and spicy and sour shredded potatoes. Let Brother Yuan make the stir-fried pork liver, and Sister Yue make the spicy and sour shredded potatoes."
"Hiss..." Zhao Xiaojing gasped, "The old ones are the wisest. Hit me wherever it hurts!"
"So, I placed the order? Master Gu asked me to talk to you first, and then he would place the order after I told you. I said I would place the order directly for him."
"You go ahead." Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the two people who were cooking and silently mourned for them in her heart.
"Small portion of stir-fried pork liver for seat 18, small portion of spicy and sour potato shreds." As Su Yuchen fiddled with his phone for a few times, the kitchen announcer mechanically read out the names of the dishes.
"Brother Yun, you stir-fry the stir-fried pork liver, and Sister Wan, you stir-fry the spicy and sour shredded potatoes."
"Junior sister, have you finished cooking the order on hand?" Yun Yongyuan turned his head and looked at the receipt menu in front of Zhao Xiaojing's pot.
"Today's training starts so early?" Wan Yuyue looked confused.
"Pfft, humph, cough cough!" Su Yuchen burst out laughing at the two people's puzzled expressions. She quickly covered her mouth and pretended to cough, then hurriedly fled the scene that made her laugh. "I'm going to help Sister Geng. When the food is ready, call Xiao Wu!"
Zhao Xiaojing nodded, glancing at Su Yuchen's hurriedly departing figure and couldn't help but smile. "No, I have other orders on hand. Just trade these two and leave the rest to me."
"Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?" Wan Yuyue looked at Zhao Xiaojing suspiciously. "Could it be that you think your business is too good and you want us to destroy your reputation?"
"Yeah, how about we cook something else and you cook these two dishes?" Yun Yongyuan took the dish out of the pot and discussed while washing the pot.
"Then what are you going to do when I go to the competition next month? Are you two just going to stop cooking if the dishes you cook are not good?"
"Didn't we just agree on this this morning? We'll have intensive training this month, and you'll lead us for an hour at noon. Why do you suddenly want to serve the meal? What if the guest comes for the first time and we mess up? You should do it." Wan Yuyue had already cleaned the pot and was standing in front of the stove in a daze.
After the two decided not to go in the morning, the three of them later agreed to practice intensively together before Zhao Xiaojing went to the competition, so that Zhao Xiaojing would not be too busy with the competition to take care of the store.
"Go ahead and fire them. Believe in yourselves." Zhao Xiaojing touched her nose, feeling a little guilty about the sudden change of mind.
But there was nothing they could do, because the one who wanted to trick them was their real master.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing was determined and had even started to fry other dishes, the two of them had no choice but to look at each other and resigned themselves to starting to heat the oil in the pan.
"Junior sister, come on!" Yun Yongyuan looked at the stove and inexplicably started to act like a child again. "Junior sister Jingzi trusts us, and we can't let her down!"
