When Tong Xuelu arrived at the state-owned hotel, a girl about 18 or 19 years old was already standing at the door of the hotel. She
had a long face and big eyes, and wore two big braids. She was not tall, but compared with Tan Xiaoyan's 5:5 figure, she was much prettier.
Tong Xuelu walked over and said with a smile, "You are Comrade Meng Qingqing, right?"
Master Meng's niece, who was temporarily working for her during this period.
Meng Qingqing noticed Tong Xuelu early in the morning.
On the busy street, Tong Xuelu's appearance was like a white bun suddenly popping out of a nest of people, white and tender, really too attractive.
But at that time she didn't think that the other person was Tong Xuelu.
Her face flushed slightly, and she said excitedly: "Are you Comrade Tong?"
Tong Xuelu glanced at her flushed cheeks, feeling a little strange, but still nodded and said: "Yes, I am Tong Xuelu, you can just call me Xuelu."
Meng Qingqing sighed, and looked at her with her big eyes blinking: "Comrade Tong, you are so beautiful! I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you in my life!"
? ?
Could it be that she was so excited because of her beauty?
Before Tong Xuelu could speak, a cold sneer came from behind: "Flatterer!"
Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes to the sky, and she knew who the voice came from without turning around.
Meng Qingqing's face became redder and she called out awkwardly, "Sister Xiaoyan."
Tan Xiaoyan snorted again, "I'm here to work today. It's useless for you to flatter me. You might as well save your breath!"
Meng Qingqing was obviously a girl with a thin skin. This time, even her neck was red. Her back was hunched, as if she wanted to shrink herself into a ball.
Tong Xuelu turned around and faced Tan Xiaoyan.
Suddenly, she covered her nose and took a step back with a look of disgust: "Didn't you brush your teeth?"
Tan Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and her square face turned red: "You didn't brush your teeth, I brush my teeth every day!"
Tong Xuelu took another step back: "It's impossible. If you brushed your teeth, why do you talk so badly?"
"..."
Tan Xiaoyan was so angry that her face turned red and white, and she stared at Tong Xuelu with her swollen eyes.
Meng Qingqing, who was standing behind her, saw that Tong Xuelu was furious with Tan Xiaoyan as soon as she opened her mouth, and her eyes were shining.
No wonder Dabo and Guo Weiping both praised Tong Xuelu as a great person, she is really great. She
is so beautiful and so eloquent.
Wow, I like her so much.
Tong Xuelu didn't know that she had won the heart of a fan girl with just a few words.
Soon, the manager Liu Dongchang came to open the door.
Then Master Meng and Guo Weiping also came over, and with them came a woman in her forties or fifties.
When they met, Tong Xuelu found that Master Meng's hand was injured. His right hand was in a plaster cast and tied with a bandage around his neck.
It turned out that the day before yesterday, Master Meng was hit by a bicycle on his way home from work, and his right hand was fractured. The doctor said that it would take at least three months to recover, and half a year to resume normal use.
But Master Meng is a chef, and he is not left-handed. If he can't use his right hand, it means that he can't continue his job as a chef.
If it was a waiter or something, someone could come to replace him, but being a chef requires certification.
Yesterday, Master Meng asked his sister-in-law to come to the state-owned hotel to replace him. Master Meng
's own wife died of illness a few years ago, and his only son has not married yet. His son has his own job and certainly can't come to help him, not to mention that he can't cook.
Master Meng had no choice but to let his sister-in-law come to replace him.
Master Meng's sister-in-law is Meng Qingqing's mother.
She can cook, but like many rural women, she doesn't like to use oil, and she doesn't have any secrets. She just cooks in one pot.
This is definitely not okay.
As expected, Liu Dongchang immediately raised this question at the meeting.
"Master Meng, you saw your sister-in-law's cooking skills yesterday. I'm not targeting you, but with such cooking skills, I can't let her come to the hotel to be the chef!"
Master Meng's face was very ugly, his eyes bulged like a frog and he didn't say anything.
Meng Qingqing glanced at her mother, who was as timid as Meng Qingqing. When she heard Liu Dongchang say this about herself, she didn't jump up and curse.
Liu Dongchang was very satisfied with their response. He paused and continued, "If Master Meng can't find someone to replace him, then I will have to make the arrangement."
Master Meng's face became even uglier.
It's easy to find someone who can cook, but it's not easy to cook delicious food, not to mention that Liu Dongchang is the one who is picking on the bones.
Liu Dongchang's lips curled slightly, and the smugness on his face could hardly be hidden: "Master Meng, if you don't say anything, then I will regard it as your agreement? Although my eldest sister has not taken the chef's certificate exam, her cooking is delicious. Why don't we let her take over the position of chef during this period of time? What do you think, Master Meng?"
Master Meng finally spoke, and snorted coldly from his nose: "Do I look like a fool?"
Liu Dongchang was choked, and his face sank: "Then what does Master Meng want to do? You have to give me an explanation!"
Although he didn't want to be incompatible with Master Meng, he was the head of the hotel after all. If the other party didn't know what was good for him, don't blame him for not giving face!
Master Meng was so angry that his chest heaved.
Liu Dongchang has always wanted to get his elder sister to work in the state-owned hotel. He got hurt this time. If he lets the other party occupy the kitchen, he will lose.
Moreover, Liu Dongchang's family is very cunning. Once he hands over the power, he is worried that he will not be able to get the position back in half a year.
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became tense.
Meng Qingqing and her mother did not dare to say anything, while Tan Xiaoyan looked very proud.
Liu Dongchang did not want to make the relationship awkward for the time being: "I will give Master Meng the last day. If you still can't find the right person tomorrow, I will make the arrangement."
After that, Liu Dongchang called Guo Weiping and asked him to go with him to buy ingredients.
Guo Weiping glanced at Master Meng, who was very angry but nodded. Guo Weiping followed him listlessly.
Oh, I didn't expect that she hadn't been here for more than a week, and the situation in the hotel had changed so much.
Before she asked for leave, Master Meng had a slight advantage.
Meng Qingqing's mother clenched her hands and said in self-blame: "Brother, it's all my fault. The food I cooked is so disgusting that I can't help you!"
Master Meng waved his hands: "It's not your fault. Comrade Tong will be back to work today, so you can take Qingqing home."
Meng Qingqing said concernedly: "What about your matter, uncle?"
Her mother cooks all the meals in her family. Although she can cook, the taste is not as good as her mother's.
Master Meng pursed his lips and said nothing.
He had no choice but to let Liu Dongchang arrange it.
But it was too aggrieved to do so. The breath stuck in his chest and he couldn't swallow it!
Tan Xiaoyan stood aside and watched the show. Although she didn't dare to sneer, her face was full of gloating.
Seeing Meng Qingqing was about to leave, Tong Xuelu finally spoke up: "Master Meng, I'm a pretty good cook. If you don't mind, why don't I take your place?"
When she was in trouble, Master Meng didn't stand by and watch. Instead, he called his niece from the countryside to take her place.
If he hadn't asked for help, she really wouldn't have been able to find anyone to take her place a while ago.
Everyone in the lobby was stunned when they heard what he said.
Tan Xiaoyan was the first to come to her senses. She sneered, "Some people really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Do you think cooking is as simple as sweeping the floor? My aunt has been cooking for most of her life and
the dishes she cooks are still not good enough. How can you be so arrogant?" Master Meng obviously didn't think Tong Xuelu could cook, "My dear lady, you have the intention, but it's not easy to cook good dishes."
Tong Xuelu didn't bother to pay attention to Tan Xiaoyan, "How about this, I'll cook a dish for Master Meng to try. If you think it's okay, I'll take your place. If not, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Master Meng thought about it and agreed.
First, he thought Tong Xuelu was helping him out of kindness, and it would be too embarrassing to refuse.
Second, it was just cooking a dish, so there would be no loss even if it didn't work.
Everyone came to the kitchen. Liu Dongchang had not returned from shopping for ingredients yet. There were only green onions, garlic and a handful of rapeseed left in the kitchen.
It was not easy to make something delicious with so few ingredients.
Master Meng said, "Why don't we do it later?"
Tong Xuelu shook her head and said, "No, I'll make some fried noodles for everyone to try."
Fried noodles?
No one present had ever heard of this noodle dish.
Tan Xiaoyan was eavesdropping at the door. When she heard this, she couldn't help but laugh in a sinister way.
"Noodles sprinkled with oil, how can you eat them? Some people don't think that cooking will taste good as long as they put more oil, it's really funny!"
Tong Xuelu turned around and gave her a cold look: "Shut up, you have the guts to not eat a single bite of the noodles I make later!"
Tan Xiaoyan glared at her: "Do you think I care about your cooking? Even if you beg me to eat it, I won't look down on it!"
Master Meng turned around and yelled: "Get out of the kitchen!" Tan Xiaoyan was so angry that she
almost vomited blood, and stomped her feet to clean the outside.
Meng Qingqing and her mother couldn't help in the kitchen, so they took the initiative to clean outside so that Tong Xuelu would have time to cook.
There were no other ingredients in the kitchen, but there was no shortage of flour, and it was strong flour.
Tong Xuelu mixed the dough with warm water and salt, and then applied oil on the surface of the dough, and then covered it with a pot to let it rest for half an hour.
While the dough was resting, she chopped the green onion, ginger and garlic into fine pieces, and then prepared the sauce for later use.
After the noodles were rested, they were cut into dough pieces, and both sides of the dough pieces were oiled again. After the water boiled, they could start pulling the noodles.
Pulling noodles is a technical job. If they are too thin or too thick, the taste will be affected, but Tong Xuelu did it skillfully, and the noodles were neither too thin nor too thick, just right.
When Master Meng saw her pulling the noodles, he was stunned.
The skills of kneading and pulling the noodles were obviously those of an expert.
He didn't expect Tong Xuelu to be able to cook.
Just now he just wanted her to try, but he didn't think it was a good idea at all.
When the noodles are almost cooked, throw the rapeseed in and cook together. When they are cooked, pick them up and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle them with chopped green onion, ginger, garlic and chili powder, and then pour hot oil on them.
With the sound of "sizzling", a domineering fragrance instantly spread in the kitchen.
"What a good smell, what is this smell?"
Meng Qingqing, who was outside, smelled the fragrance and sniffed it like a small animal
. Meng Qingqing's mother: "It comes from the kitchen. It should be that female comrade who made the noodles!"
The fragrance continued to come out, and even the air was fragrant, which aroused people's appetite.
Meng Qingqing swallowed her saliva and said, "Mom, let's go in and take a look."
The mother and daughter went to the kitchen, leaving Tan Xiaoyan alone in the lobby to swallow her saliva.
As soon as the two entered the kitchen, they saw Master Meng struggling to pick up noodles with his left hand and eat them. Even though it was very hard, there was no impatience on his face.
Master Meng knew they were coming in, but he didn't have time to care about them at the moment.
The noodles were very spicy. After taking a bite, the mouth was full of spicy and refreshing taste. It was obviously a very simple noodle dish, but it made people want to eat it.
He was not exaggerating, just this kind of oily noodles, he could have three big bowls at a time!
Tong Xuelu saw them coming in and asked, "Would you like to try a bowl too?"
Meng Qingqing nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
Meng Qingqing's mother wanted to say no, but the fragrance was too tempting, so she swallowed the words back into her stomach.
Tong Xuelu made a bowl for each of them, and the two soon followed the same action and expression as Master Meng - wolfing down.
Tan Xiaoyan was so hungry from the delicious food outside that she stared at the kitchen and swallowed hard.
But she snorted and told herself that even if it smelled good, it might not taste good.
Master Meng finished a bowl with his left hand. Just when he wanted to eat the second bowl, Liu Dongchang came back.
Seeing Liu Dongchang coming in, he looked at him and laughed.
Liu Dongchang:? ?
Is he crazy because of the stimulation?
Master Meng pointed at Tong Xuelu and said, "I have found the person to replace me."
"Comrade Tong?"
Liu Dongchang was stunned when he saw him pointing at Tong Xuelu, and then showed an expression of "are you kidding me".
Master Meng: "Yes, it's Comrade Tong. This oil-sprinkled noodles was just made by her. You'll know if she's good enough if you try it!"
Tong Xulu said nothing and quickly made a portion of oil-sprinkled noodles for Liu Dongchang.
In fact, Liu Dongchang smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't expect that the fragrance was made by Tong Xulu.
Looking at the red noodles, he picked it up and slurped it, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He lost.
Not to mention his eldest sister, even Master Meng can't compare to this taste.
He looked at Tong Xulu and felt irritated.
This woman is simply his nemesis!
Last time she took the position of waiter, and this time she took the position of chef. Does she want to take his position as manager in the future?
Master Meng was so happy that his eyebrows raised: "How is it, Manager Liu, how does it taste?"
Liu Dongchang couldn't say it wasn't delicious with a clear conscience, and said with a serious face: "Not bad, but she has to take over for half a year, so she still needs a chef's certificate."
Tong Xulu said: "No problem, I'll find time to sign up for the exam in the next two days."
At this point, Liu Dongchang couldn't say anything, and said with a dark face: "Okay, then you will take Master Meng's position temporarily, but what about your position?"
Liu Dongchang still didn't give up on pushing his eldest sister in, and was about to ask his eldest sister to come over.
But Tong Xuelu didn't give him a chance to speak, and said crisply: "Comrade Meng Qingqing will continue to take my position."
"..."
Liu Dongchang's face turned completely black, and it was stinkier than the water in the stinky ditch.
Meng Qingqing knew that she could still stay, and her face suddenly brightened.
At this time, Tan Xiaoyan walked in and said: "Wow, this smells so good, even better than the dishes made by Master Meng. If you ask me, don't take over, why not give this chef position to Comrade Tong! Master Meng is not young anymore, and he will retire in a few years. Wouldn't it be better to give it to Comrade Tong now?"
Shit stirrer!
Tan Xiaoyan is a real shit stirrer!
Her words clearly meant to sow discord between her and Master Meng.
Tong Xulu opened her mouth and was about to retort, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Master Meng spit back, "You don't need to meddle in my affairs. You're as cunning as a hornet's nest every day. Which in-law would dare to marry you!"
"…………"
Tan Xiaoyan looked as if her lungs were stabbed, and her face flushed red.
Everyone's eyes were on her, and she looked at Liu Dongchang, hoping that he could say something for her.
But the latter only glanced at her and turned his head away, as if he was afraid that she would rely on him.
Tan Xiaoyan felt aggrieved, and ran away crying.
A bunch of bastards, just bullying her!
