Chapter 352 Our store is lacking someone with this kind of personality!
"Does that mean he values it? That's the master's eye." Wan Yuyue muttered in a low voice.
"Ahem! Junior sister, you and Senior Brother Nie stayed in the restaurant together for a shorter time than I did, only half a year, so how come you still remember it?" Yun Yongyuan saw that Gu Shanfeng was about to curse again and quickly interrupted him.
"Because I talked to him, but he ignored me."
"How is that possible! Xiao Nie is not such a rude child." Gu Shanfeng immediately waved his hand.
"Sister Wan, what did you say to him that made him ignore you?" Lu Hongwen rolled his eyes and looked at Wan Yuyue suspiciously.
"I said he was good-looking."
Gu Shanfeng was stunned and looked at Wan Yuyue in confusion. "She looks good?"
"Yeah, like Song Xiaobao, if he's not good at cooking, he can still be a comedian. Isn't it good to have God chasing after you to give you food?"
At the lively dinner table, everyone fell silent.
Su Yuchen glanced at Wan Yuyue silently, with a bit more admiration in his eyes.
"Master Gu, I think it's okay. Let him come for the interview and cook two dishes. If he does well, he can start work directly." Zhao Xiaojing looked at Wan Yuyue with a worried look and decided the matter right away.
"Okay, I'll call him later. Actually, he's not that exaggerated. He can still listen to normal people's words. He's just too lazy to talk nonsense and is more stubborn in his professional field... It's not that he is stubborn, it's just that..." Gu Shanfeng was so emotionally incoherent that he thought for a long time and wanted to explain but couldn't find the right words.
"It must not be violated." Yun Yongyuan said.
“Yes, yes, it must not be violated!” Gu Shanfeng patted Yun Yongyuan with satisfaction.
"Take the example of him refusing to go to the restaurant because he doesn't like Lao Huo. Lao Huo is my partner. He doesn't really know how to cook, but he's still the boss after all. If he makes some unprofessional suggestions, why don't I explain them to him or just give him a perfunctory answer and then tell me about it afterwards? Most people wouldn't have a direct conflict, but Xiao Nie can't.
Lao Huo said that Xiao Nie's white-cut chicken tasted tasteless, and asked him to add some seasoning when cooking it next time. Xiao Nie would directly say that the dish was supposed to taste the original flavor of the chicken and it was impossible to add any more. The two of them started to argue. In the end, Lao Huo said that Xiao Nie didn't give him face, and Xiao Nie said that Lao Huo made blind suggestions and he didn't even want to stay in the restaurant. "Hey!"
"He has principles! Let him come." Su Yuchen smiled particularly heartily, secretly raised an eyebrow at Zhao Xiaojing, and whispered quietly while picking up food, "Look at Sister Yue, this guy is really Master Gu's eyeball, it's not a loss to dig him up, isn't he just aloof? Our restaurant lacks such a personality!"
Zhao Xiaojing curled the corners of her mouth deeply.
That's right. The people in the shop are becoming more and more lively and noisy. Wan Yuyue is even more excited after seeing Gu Shanfeng. They just need someone with such a cool personality to calm the crowd.
After lunch, everyone cleaned up the leftovers on the table and left. The three people in the kitchen were cutting vegetables while silently waiting for Gu Shanfeng.
After finishing his meal, Gu Shanfeng couldn't wait to run to make a phone call. It went without saying that it was to Nie Xiuqi.
“Hey, who do you think is better in cooking between Yanzhu and my junior sister?” Wan Yuyue finished cutting a plate of duck gizzards and poked Yun Yongyuan while she was putting them on the plate.
"Junior sister." Yun Yongyuan didn't even raise his head.
"Why are you so sure? When Eyeball left the restaurant, didn't the master say that he had already started learning how to make Song Sao's fish soup?"
"Because your crickets are too loud, my junior sister can hear it." Yun Yongyuan finished cutting all the side dishes in front of him, calmly glanced at Zhao Xiaojing who had already finished cutting the vegetables and was staring at Wan Yuyue, and smiled.
"How dare a mere Mrs. Song's fish soup compare with junior sister's pot-roasted pork elbow?! Of course, junior sister is the best!" Wan Yuyue turned around smoothly and said righteously to the air.
Song Sao Fish Soup? It seemed to be the legendary Crab Soup. Zhao Xiaojing vaguely remembered seeing it when she was learning about various cuisines. Which cuisine was it?
"He said he will be here soon, and if he's willing, he can start work tomorrow!" Just as Zhao Xiaojing was about to ask about this dish, Gu Shanfeng's slightly excited voice came from the front hall. Then the door curtain was lifted, and Gu Shanfeng walked in, rubbing his hands with a happy look on his face.
"He was originally hesitating, wondering whether he should try a small restaurant with a simple staff structure. Isn't this a coincidence? I was worried that he was used to working in a big restaurant and would not want to come, so I wanted to have a good talk with him! This kid probably knows his own shortcomings and is afraid of dealing with those interpersonal relationships!"
"Master Gu, what kind of dish is Mrs. Song's fish soup?" Zhao Xiaojing's mind was full of new dishes. She didn't care about the legendary Nie Xiuqi. As soon as she saw Gu Shanfeng, she asked hurriedly.
"Oh, it's a Zhejiang dish. The main ingredients are mandarin fish, ham, and some bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc. We had it in our restaurant before, but it's no longer available."
"Taken off the shelves? Why?" Zhao Xiaojing asked puzzledly.
"Because the chef who made this dish left, no one makes it anymore. But you can still serve this dish if you want. It's not a particularly strict or detail-oriented dish, and there's not even a specific recipe. But every restaurant has their own signature dish, and no one has studied it."
"Is it a folk dish?" As the competition was approaching, Zhao Xiaojing had recently started to cram on the characteristics and particularities of various cuisines. When Gu Shanfeng said there was no recipe, Zhao Xiaojing reacted instantly.
Different from official cuisine and traditional dishes that are exquisitely crafted with every move and technique, and whose inheritance requires even the details to be exactly the same, folk dishes are generally made with local ingredients and local products. Also, due to the gap between the rich and the poor, each family cooks differently, so they just use whatever they have. There is no such thing as an authentic method, and no specific inheritance. It is sufficient that the main ingredients remain the same.
However, for a folk dish to become a famous Zhejiang cuisine among the eight major cuisines, it must have its own uniqueness and irreplaceability.
"Yes, it's a folk dish. That's why every time Lao Cai makes this dish he always likes to tell some irrelevant folk history, hehe." Gu Shanfeng smiled happily.
“I suspect that Master Cai doesn’t like cooking this dish and made it up for fun.” After Gu Shanfeng said this, Yun Yongyuan also laughed.
"What kind of unofficial history is this? It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Tell us quickly!" Wan Yuyue urged Yun Yongyuan, pulling his sleeve.
"Master Cai said that this dish was handed down from the Song Dynasty. He said that at that time, a woman named Song Sao opened a roadside food stall and stewed a fish that was fishy and had many bones. Song Gaozong happened to pass by to eat. After ordering it, he tasted it and thought it was unpalatable. He wanted to severely punish Song Sao, the dishonest merchant. But when he asked, he found out that she was from Bianjing, his fellow villager, so he gave up and gritted his teeth to praise the fish as good, just like his life.
Later, Song Sao heard that it was the emperor, so she immediately put up a sign saying that the emperor loved to eat it. Customers came to taste it one after another. YUE! Why is it so unpalatable? They wanted to vomit but didn’t dare to, and wanted to curse but didn’t dare to. After all, this restaurant has the emperor’s endorsement. If you criticize this dish, isn’t it the same as questioning the emperor’s taste? "
