Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

It would be fine if it was just one, but two popped up.

Upon hearing this, Master Liang nodded in satisfaction, and then asked the remaining two apprentices to continue commenting.

Among the five apprentices, except Sha Zhu, the other four spoke very well.

Seeing this scene, Wang Dongjia looked at Sha Zhu with some dissatisfaction.

Everyone else can say something, but you are the only one who can't say anything and just keeps your head down and eats.

There is no harm without comparison, and Sha Zhu left a bad impression on Wang Dongjia.

Wang Dongjia has many businesses, and Fengdenglou is just one of them, so he is not very clear about the staff structure of the kitchen.

After all, he only needs to manage Master Liang.

After all the apprentices finished speaking, Master Liang waved his hand at them and said, "Go to the kitchen and get some plates. Leave a portion of these cooked foods as a sample, and then go figure it out."

After saying that, he reminded them with a worried look: "Watch the pillars, don't let him eat them all."

After the apprentice left, Shopkeeper Liu stared at the cooked food and thought for a long time, then looked at Master Liang and asked, "Master Liang, do you think it could be that kid?"

"Which kid?" Master Liang was completely confused.

"It's the guy who cooks Sichuan dishes and also has a stall on East Street!" Shopkeeper Liu reminded.

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but as soon as he did, Master Liang became unhappy.

No, are you looking for trouble again?

A while ago, other restaurants came to their Fengdeng Building to make trouble. They made up a pretext of setting up a stall to sell stir-fried dishes, and the shopkeeper Liu actually believed it and even fined their kitchen staff for it.

Manager Liu searched for the person for several days but couldn't find him, so he reluctantly waived the fine for the kitchen staff.

Master Liang thought that the matter had been over, but he didn't expect that Manager Liu would bring it up again.

And it happened in front of Wang Dongjia.

Isn't this an opportunity to attack their kitchen staff?

"Manager Liu, you're here again, right?" Master Liang's tone already sounded a little impatient.

Wang Dongjia, who noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, tapped the table lightly and asked, "What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

"There was no quarrel. It was just that Manager Liu was fooled." Master Liang said unhappily.

Shopkeeper Liu was more shrewd than Master Liang. He smiled awkwardly and told Mr. Wang about the situation in the store.

"Boss, you may not know that a while ago, a kid came to East Street to sell Sichuan cuisine. This kid's cooking skills are quite good, and it has affected our business. It is also because of him that the stalls on East Street have started selling Sichuan cuisine, especially twice-cooked pork and stir-fried liver and kidney. These two dishes have become popular because of that kid."

"I wanted to meet this guy, but he ran away. Although he no longer has a stall on East Street, he has led all the stir-fry stalls on East Street astray, which has indirectly affected the business of our store."

ha? ? ?

After listening to Manager Liu's explanation, Mr. Wang became more and more confused.

What is stall cooking, what started the trend, and what affected the store’s business?

Where is this going?

And you, the owner of Fengdenglou, are going to cause trouble for someone else's stir-fried vegetable stall?

Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?

"Manager Liu, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with cooked food?"

Seeing that Manager Liu was talking nonsense again, Master Liang stepped forward to explain: "Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. It was clearly someone from another restaurant who came to our restaurant to cause trouble. A large group of guests came that day. They clearly came together, but they insisted on sitting separately, pretending not to know each other."

"Then he went to the store and ordered twice-cooked pork and stir-fried liver and kidney. When the dishes came, he started to find fault. He said that the pork slices were not cooked properly, but that the stir-fried liver and kidney was not authentic. He even said that it was not as authentic as the ones sold at the stalls outside. It was obvious that he was looking for trouble, but Manager Liu believed it and went out every day to catch that guy."

"That kid doesn't have it at all, it's strange that he can catch him!"

Master Liang acted like he was an experienced chef and that only you, Manager Liu, would be fooled by such tricks.

"So, what does this have to do with today's cooked food?" Wang Dongjia still didn't understand.

But I also heard that Master Liang and Manager Liu had some conflicts a few days ago.

One thought that another restaurant was looking for trouble, and the other thought that a young man was setting up a stall and stealing Fengdenglou's business.

"Manager Liu thinks that the cooked food today was made by that kid. That kid stopped cooking and switched to selling cooked food!" Master Liang explained.

It turned out to be the case.

Only then did Wang Dongjia completely understand what was going on.

However, this matter is really hard to judge. Chef Liang has a lot of experience, so it is reasonable to judge that it is other restaurants that are looking for trouble.

As for Shopkeeper Liu, Wang Dongjia asked directly: "Shopkeeper Liu, what does the young man who sells stir-fried vegetables look like?"

"Eighteen or nineteen years old, with a younger sister!" Shopkeeper Liu told everything he had heard: "I have never seen him, but he definitely exists!"

Hearing this, Wang Dongjia smiled and shook his head.

"The guy selling cooked food is a little boy about 14 or 15 years old. He's not very tall and skinny, and he doesn't have any sisters with him."

ha? ?

When Manager Liu heard this, he was dumbfounded.

No? ? Then my excitement was in vain!

"Hey, that's really strange. Recently, there have been many young masters appearing on our East Street. Could it be that other restaurants are deliberately targeting us? They sent some chefs' disciples to set up stalls on East Street to deliberately affect our business?"

Not to mention Master Liang, even Shopkeeper Liu began to doubt himself.

"It must be another restaurant that is deliberately messing with us!" Master Liang said firmly.

"Boss, where is the guy selling cooked food setting up his stall? I'll arrest him and interrogate him to find out which restaurant is messing with us!"

Seeing that Master Liang was ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work, Wang Dongjia waved his hands speechlessly.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? We run a restaurant and believe in making money through harmony!"

"I bought all the cooked food for that kid. He must have left by now." After saying that, Wang Dongjia glanced at Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Master Liang is impatient. Go contact that cooked food stall tomorrow and see if you can find out anything."

"If there's no one behind him, ask him if he's willing to come to Fengdeng Tower. If not, give him some money and ask him to set up a stall somewhere else."

Seeing that Boss Wang said so, Master Liang and Shopkeeper Liu could only nod and agree.

On the other side, on East Street.

Chen Jun was busy until after one o'clock, and all the ingredients on the stall were sold out.

You know what, with Yan Jiecheng's help, Chen Jun and Lin Yao actually felt a little more relaxed.

Although Yan Jiecheng is not very old, he is quick and nimble and has a keen eye. When a table of guests leaves, he will collect the dishes and wipe the table in time, and he does his job very seriously.

Chen Jun was also very satisfied with this and felt that the thirty yuan spent this month was well worth it.

After closing the stall and returning home, Chen Jun asked Lin Yao and Yan Jiecheng to wash the dishes while he went out for a while.

"Brother, where are you going?" Lin Yao asked curiously.

"Go to the street office and talk to Director Wang."
