Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

At ten o'clock in the morning, Mingqian was lying on the bed and sleeping. When the alarm clock rang, Mingqian was still unwilling to get up. With his eyes closed, he touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned off the alarm clock, turned over, and buried his head in Youjun's arms. Be an ostrich who doesn't want to get up.

You Jun reached out and rubbed Ming Qian's hair. Ming Qian's hair was not as comfortable to touch after the cut, but You Jun still felt that it felt good. After touching his hair, he picked up his phone and checked the time.

"It's time to start." You Jun squeezed Ming Qian's earlobe, Ming Qian's earlobe is very soft, it feels very comfortable when pinched, and the skin is also very tender, You Jun rubbed it as if he was addicted to pinching, until Ming Qian's Earlobe rubbed red.

Ming Qian closed his eyes, the curtains were not opened, and the room was still dark and gloomy. He hummed softly, then pulled the quilt to cover his head.

Under the quilt, his whole body was surrounded by Youjun's aura.

He was very comfortable and felt very safe, with one arm resting on Youjun's waist, his head continued to be arched between Youjun's chest and abdomen, he refused to get up no matter what.

Youjun was not willing to wake Mingqian violently, and thought that Mingqian's behavior should be "acting like a baby".

What should you do when your partner "acts like a baby"?Of course it is pampered.

So You Jun stuffed Ming Qian with the pillow and got out of bed by himself. He was going to prepare breakfast for Ming Qian.

Usually they go to the store for breakfast, and eat breakfast at nearby stores, either porridge steamed buns or soy milk fritters, and sometimes small steamed buns and noodles. You Jun usually does not eat breakfast, Ming Qian persuaded him that he would eat less eat a little.

When Youjun came to the kitchen, he opened the refrigerator, stood looking at the vegetables in the refrigerator for a while, finally took out a bag of vegetables from the refrigerator, and decided to cook a bowl of noodles for Mingqian.

The current Youjun is a mobile phone expert, he followed the noodle cooking tutorial he found out, and followed the tutorial step by step to boil water and cook noodles.

"Huh?" Ming Qian turned over on the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the side, and could only touch the pillow.

what time is it?Ming Qian sat up in a daze, his mind was still a little confused, did the alarm clock go off?

He rubbed his eyes, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and checked the time, it was already ten past ten.

This frightened Ming Qian to sit up quickly. Since he left school, he hadn't stayed in bed. This is definitely not his problem, it must be the problem of the mobile phone alarm clock.

Ming Qian got up from the bed, went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, and did two things at once, including checking his phone.

Fortunately, Director Han didn't send a message to urge him, otherwise he really didn't know how to reply.

Today is not the day for the official filming, the guests still have to read the script and practice, Yao is not at home, he will go there early this morning to teach the guests how to prepare vegetables, and Yiyi will teach the guests how to cut vegetables, which can be regarded as a crash training.

Whether the guests can learn it is another matter.

Ming Qian put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom with bare feet. Since Youjun came, the house can be said to be spotless, not a speck of dust can be seen. If it wasn't for Youjun who can't cook, then Youjun can definitely be called a sexual transformation version of the snail girl.

But Ming Qian doesn't expect You Jun to be able to cook - people, don't think too much about everything.

Now that Youjun doesn't pick on him, doesn't sneer at him, Mingqian is already grateful to Dade.

As soon as he opened the bedroom door, Ming Qian smelled the aroma of noodles.

He stood at the door blankly, watching Youjun bring out a bowl of noodles from the kitchen, and there seemed to be an egg lying on the noodles.

Ming Qian pinched his face, thinking that he hadn't woken up yet.

You Jun also saw Ming Qian's unbelievable expression, and his expression became less so, he said coldly: "Come over for dinner, do you still want me to invite you?"

Ming Qian walked over quickly, and he knew it was not a dream from the tone.

He sat down at the dining table and asked cautiously, "Have you eaten yet?"

You Jun handed him the chopsticks: "I don't need to eat."

Ming Qian was a little embarrassed: "That's so embarrassing."

Although this is Youjun's first time cooking, compared to Mingqian, Youjun is obviously more talented. The noodles are cooked just right, tough, but not too hard, which will not affect digestion, and the seasoning is just right , The clear noodle soup is suitable for eating in the morning, it is fragrant and light, and it is very friendly to the stomach.

Ming Qian finished the soup, You Jun looked at the empty bowl, his eyes softened a lot.

"I'm going to put on my shoes, let's go there." Ming Qian went to the entrance to change his shoes. He has bought a lot of new things now, whether it's clothes or shoes, the cheap things he bought before are basically thrown away—it can't be done without throwing away , Most of the soles are glued, and some are deformed.

Especially after he opened the store, he has to walk tens of thousands of steps every day. Those cheap shoes in the past couldn't bear such a number of steps.

After getting rich, Mingqian still does not pursue brand, but only pursues quality.

After all, if he pursues a brand name...he is not rich enough, so there is really no need for thousands of dollars in shoes.

Five or six hundred shoes are enough for Ming Qian.

In the hot pot restaurant, Yao is teaching Dong Han how to prepare dishes. His baby face is very confusing. The people in the program group thought he was underage the first time they saw him yesterday. When they saw him for the second time today, they still thought he was a underage.

"You can't come with an order and a dish." Yao almost collapsed, how could this person be so stupid? !

Yao got lucky a few times before continuing to patiently say: "For example, beef, which most diners will order, as well as loin slices and hairy belly, these three can be placed directly on the tray, placed there, and then ordered according to the usual diners' favorites. The few things that go with it."

"Just delete it when the order arrives." Yao looked into Dong Han's eyes, hoping that Dong Han could tell himself that he understood.

However, Dong Han couldn't get Yao's meaning, so in order not to make a mistake, he asked very carefully: "Then what if the order ordered by the customer does not coincide with the one prepared before?"

Yao: "...Then make another copy!"

Do I still need to ask? !

Dong Han nodded solemnly: "Oh, I understand."

remote:"……"

He understood again.

The remote teaching here is exhausted, and Yiyi's side is not much better. Knife skills are a kind of experience work, and they can't be practiced in a day or two. Cutting vegetables is easy to say, even if you choose vegetables and cut them into sections, children who are a little more careful can do well.

The biggest problem is still cutting meat and loins.

Yiyi taught very carefully, and she almost taught her by hand.

However, this group of guests may not have been in the kitchen a few times since they were young, and they don't know which leaves need to be removed when choosing vegetables. Often, Yiyi makes a mistake and they choose the young leaves together.

Yiyi still couldn't speak, so she could only keep typing on her mobile phone.

"But the leaves are turning yellow." Lin Sui didn't understand why Yiyi said she was wrong again, she seemed to have done something wrong.

Yiyi could only type and say: "The yellow leaves of this vegetable are the tenderest."

Lin Sui: "...But I think the vegetables all look similar, I can't tell the difference."

Yiyi was a little desperate, she sighed silently, with worry on her brows, she continued to type: "Then you can ask someone else."

Lin Sui looked at the two male guests who worked as a pier with her in the first period. The two male guests blinked and smiled at Lin Sui, as if saying that they couldn't tell the difference.

The most difficult thing is not this, and cut the beef and loin slices, the beef should be cut along the texture, otherwise it will fall apart after cutting, the speed must be fast, the hand must be steady, and the cut beef slices must be thin, so that it can be rolled up like Like a flower, when you touch it with chopsticks, it trembles tremblingly, as if it is about to bloom.

This thickness of beef slices can be picked up with a little rinsing, and the tenderness is unbelievable.

There are also loin slices, which are the most troublesome to deal with. The white and red tendons must be cleaned, and you must be careful, otherwise the meat will be wasted to remove the tendons. When slicing, it must be thin. It has the best taste and is crunchy when eaten.

Yiyi didn't think they could cut beef and loin slices well with their knives.

They can only cut dishes without technical content.

There are also shrimp slips. The shrimp slips in the store are all hand-hammered every night. First use the back of a knife, then use a small wooden hammer, hammer until it is as fine as mud, and then beat it vigorously. It is completely different from the shrimp slips made by machines.

The same goes for beef balls.

It takes strength and patience.

After the male guest tried it, he said that his arm was about to break, because the store needed a lot, not two copies, but dozens of copies, and when it sold a lot, it would sell hundreds of copies a day.

"I really can't do it anymore..." The male guest went to the sink to wash his hands and face. He felt that his arms were useless, which was more tiring than exercising.

Another male guest whispered: "Why don't we talk to Director Han, anyway, we can edit. Let us do the easy ones, and let the professionals do the difficult ones."

The male guest who said no first pursed his lips: "Will Director Han agree?"

Another was unsure: "It's better to ask."

"Of course not!" Director Han frowned, he was completely different from Ming Qian in front of the guests.

It's not easy to be a director of variety shows. Variety shows are different from movies and TV shows. Movies and TV shows have scripts and the plot is controllable.

But the script of variety shows is not so detailed, there is only a general trend and framework, although the plot points are there, but it is more necessary for the guests to adapt.

Some guests hope that they will be more perfect in the show, they will want to maintain their image, and don't let the audience see their messy and incompetent side.

Except for entertainers who were born as comedians, few people want to play buffoons.

But Director Han doesn't want a perfect guest team. He hopes that the show can look as real as possible. The audience will be emotionally aroused by the show, will be amused, and will be angry. Only when there is topicality can there be popularity.

Even talent shows now know that they can't install a perfect personality for the contestants, let alone this kind of variety show that relies entirely on the performance of artists.

Director Han said unceremoniously: "You are only responsible for cutting simple vegetables, and if it is difficult to let others do it, then what is there to look at about you? After the show, the audience will remember that you cut vegetables in a normal way?"

"Isn't it true that you are being asked to cut vegetables?! What's the point of cutting vegetables?"

The two male guests were spurted blood by Han Dao, both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, apart from Dong Han, a semi-newcomer who is highly praised by the brokerage company, everyone else has achievements. Even if they are not the first brother in their own company, they can still get inclined resources and fans.

And now acting, as long as it is not a well-known director in the industry, a small director will not be bloody against a popular artist.

Lin Sui said heartlessly at the side: "If you can't cut it well, you can't cut it well, and I can't cut it well."

Director Han looked at Lin Sui. Lin Sui had a low EQ, but it didn't mean her performance was bad. The sense of variety has nothing to do with EQ.

"Director Han, can I use tools?" Lin Sui took out his mobile phone, "Can this machine for cutting mutton rolls be used to cut beef?"

Director Han neither confirmed nor denied: "You can buy it and try it."

Lin Sui nodded: "Then I'll buy one."

She thinks her idea is very good. In the industrial age, manpower can be replaced by machines.

save time and energy.

Compared with Lin Sui and the others, the three waiters on He Qin's side are in a very good condition. Chen Yan has a kind and friendly appearance. Although he is not handsome, he speaks slowly, has a gentle temper and is patient. Look at He Qin When they are tired, they will pour them a cup of tea and let them sit and listen slowly.

He Qin was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.

Especially after Director Han yelled at the two male guests.

Chen Yan said in a soft voice: "Normally, there are no guests who make trouble. Occasionally, it is only at night. When guests come over after drinking in other places, it is easy to quarrel with other guests as soon as they get on top. At this time, we can do Not many."

He Qin: "Call the police?"

Chen Yan shook his head: "We can't wait until we have to call the police to solve the problem, we have to stop them before they do it."

The guest who listened to the lecture with He Qin asked, "How to stop it?"

Chen Yan: "Just sober them up."

Chen Yan is very experienced in this area: "Let them drink tea first, cold tea, if the cold tea can't relieve the hangover, you have to persuade them to go outside the store and directly persuade them to leave."

"This requires a lot of strength." Chen Yan glanced at the male guest and felt a little anxious.

These two male guests seem to be in good shape, but Chen Yan can tell at a glance that their abdominal muscles have been thinned out. People with a low body fat percentage can see their abdominal muscles when they lose weight, but this does not mean their bodies very good.

It looks thin, but it's just thin.

There is no strength at all.

The male guest was blindly optimistic: "What should I do if the guest complains?"

Chen Yan: "There are surveillance cameras in the store, and there are videos of them making trouble. It's okay to complain."

The guests were studying in the store, and Director Han was reading the script at the counter. This is already the fourth version of the script, and it is going through the upgrade process. At the beginning, the business in the store was not good, so the audience must intuitively see that the store is miserable. business, but also to see the guests flustered and clumsy.

This is a regular script for this type of variety show.

The most important thing is to look at the personality and performance of the guests.

Director Han asked the screenwriter: "Can you add something new?"

The screenwriter had two huge dark circles under his eyes, and said in despair: "Didn't you reject all the innovative ones before?"

Director Han patted the screenwriter on the shoulder and comforted him, "We need to innovate within the safety line."

The screenwriter looked at Director Han numbly like a walking dead.

Director Han was also afraid of driving people crazy, so he could only say: "When the time comes, you can make corrections while filming, and take a good rest these two days."

The screenwriter nodded, but actually didn't listen to what Director Han was saying.

It was past twelve o'clock when Mingqian arrived at the store. The program team was eating, and the guests were helping to order takeaways. The staff all ordered box lunches from the program team. The box lunch ordered is quite rich.

There are fish nuggets, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a spicy stir-fried cabbage and big chicken legs. The soup is seaweed egg drop soup in a plastic bowl.

Whether it tastes good or not, it doesn't look bad anyway.

Yiyi and the others' meals were originally provided by the program group, but after all, they are in their own shop, so Yiyi cooks by herself, making three dishes and one soup.

As a result, Director Han had the cheek to go to the meal, and the guests also came over.

Mingqian saw them surrounding the table, grabbing food as if they hadn't eaten in 800 years.

Yiyi was holding a bowl of white rice and was at a loss with chopsticks. Chen Yan simply ate white rice, only Yao was still fighting for food with Director Han and the guests, and it was a joy to grab it.

Yiyi made a serving of braised beef brisket, a serving of stir-fried water spinach and a serving of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts. The soup was vegetable soup, and there was not even an egg in it. Portions are huge.

When the food was first served, no one came over to rub it.

Because the large amount of dishes does not look good, like a big pot of dishes.

Until Chen Yan saw that Director Han's takeaway hadn't arrived yet, he invited him to have a meal together.

As the monster with the last social experience in the store, Chen Yan knows very well that Director Han is the "golden master". Chen Yan's habit of currying favor with his father is already engraved in his DNA, and he usually does the same with Mingqian in the store, otherwise They will also send Bodhi bracelets and tea to Mingqian.

The reason why Director Han sat down was because he didn't want Chen Yan and the others to feel that he was a superior person.

He didn't have any expectations for the big pot of dishes, until he drank half a bowl of vegetable soup.

The soup boiled with stones, even with the simplest seasoning, is so delicious that people can swallow their tongues.

Not to mention the soft and rotten beef brisket stewed, the fat and thin hot pot meat, and the fried spinach that is crispy and spicy after controlling the water.

Director Han concentrated on cooking without raising his head.

Lin Sui was the second person who came to grab a meal. She stood beside her and said with a look of longing: "This dish looks really delicious."

Chen Yan could only invite her to try it too.

After sitting down, Lin Sui also started to concentrate on cooking like Director Han.

It will be more logical for others to sit over.

She even thought that this table of food was just for them, so Yiyi and the others could only eat rice.

Only Yao is not to be outdone, and is fierce in grabbing vegetables.

Director Han finally snatched the last piece of hot pot meat into his mouth, put down his chopsticks contentedly, and wiped his mouth with a very elegant table paper. He didn't expect Yiyi to have such a good skill, let alone that he would be in a hot pot restaurant Eat food that tastes better than high-end Chinese restaurants.

Especially since this dish looks like a big pot dish.

"Mr. Ming." Director Han finally saw Ming Qian walking in. He stood up and said to Ming Qian in amazement, "I finally know why your business is so good, even ordinary stir-fried vegetables can make this kind of cooking." smell."

"If you don't open hot pot, open a high-end Chinese restaurant, you will definitely earn more."

Ming Qian sighed and said, "That won't work. There are not enough people. The hot pot only needs to chop vegetables and side dishes, and there is an extra stir-fried dish for Chinese food. Then I have to hire more people."

At first, he decided to open a hot pot restaurant because Ming Qian wanted to be lazy and save costs.

Director Han looked at Yiyi, feeling even more regretful. Not only is she beautiful, she has an outstanding temperament, she is so beautiful, and she has such a good craftsmanship. It is a pity that she is dumb. If Yiyi is not dumb, then she will definitely have better work, better future.

I don't know where Mingqian dug her out, Director Han is a little jealous.

Before the official shooting, Ming Qian only needed to teach Brother Jiang how to cook the hot pot base. The soup, rocks, and water were all prepared in advance. As long as he didn't tell, no one would think that the secret of the delicious hot pot lies in the water.

Brother Jiang is a pessimist, everything in his mouth has only a pessimistic side.

Sometimes Ming Qian felt tired talking to him.

Youjun is the most relaxed, he doesn't have to do anything, but Director Han likes to get in front of Youjun the most.

"Do you like your current job?" Director Han had a good attitude when facing Youjun.

You Jun had no expression on his face, he didn't really want to talk to this mortal, so Ming Qian coughed before he replied: "It's okay."

Director Han asked again: "Have you thought about doing something else?"

You Jun answered very readily: "No."

Director Han: "...the job of a cashier can't be done for a lifetime, can it?"

Youjun didn't have a good temper with anyone except Mingqian, he sneered and said, "What does it have to do with you?"

Director Han stayed where he was, and Jun You walked towards Mingqian, not bothering Director Han any more.

It's just that Director Han was not angry, and he was very persistent. He continued to ask You Jun: "What is your relationship with Mr. Ming? Did you know each other before you became a cashier?"

Youjun said impatiently: "What does it have to do with you?"

Director Han: "I think your conditions are very good. Why don't you consider other industries. If you have ideas in this regard, I can give you a lot of help, including brokerage companies."

You Jun glanced at Director Han, but there was no emotion in his eyes, his eyes were so cold that Director Han broke into a cold sweat.

"Director Han, it is impossible for You Jun to enter the entertainment industry." Ming Qian quickly interjected, "He is not suitable."

Director Han wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but he still didn't give up. He couldn't persuade Youjun, so he persuaded Mingqian: "I think it's a pity."

"Some things can be obtained through hard work, and some things are innate and cannot be forced." Director Han really felt that it was a pity, "As far as You Jun's appearance is concerned, plastic surgery can't make it out, and the ability to realize a good-looking face in other places is not strong. , but in the entertainment industry, face is capital."

Ming Qian said helplessly: "Director Han, it's really not good, he has entered the entertainment circle with his temper..."

Director Han: "Not all artists have a good temper, otherwise what would the agency do?"

Mingqian: "..."

Director Han was excited: "As long as he is willing to sign with my company, I guarantee that he will be popular this year!"

Director Han went crazy.

Ming Qian sighed, and looked at You Jun who stood beside him with a cold face, and even looked at Director Han with eyes that looked mentally retarded.

He thinks that You Jun has really entered the entertainment circle, and it is not certain whether he will be popular this year, but he will definitely offend everyone in the entertainment circle within this year.

After Han Dao finished talking to Ming Qian, he persevered to find You Jun.

It's also difficult for Director Han to read the script, do work for the guests, and go to You Jun to find abuse.
