hibiscus past years

◎Praise him more, only with encouragement can he be motivated. ◎

Master Liu's cooking skills can only be said to be not bad, not great. Except for a few special dishes, the taste of other dishes is similar to that of ordinary restaurants, and there is nothing special about it except for the generous portions.The reason why it attracts people and makes people miss it every day is because of this person and this smell.

It was a coincidence that Master Liu chose to open a restaurant.

That was many years ago.At that time, there were basically no breakfast stalls, because each family did not earn much money, so parents would rather get up early every day than spend unjustly money to let their children buy breakfast.Moreover, the children are greedy and will use the breakfast money to buy toys and snacks. Parents are even more worried about handing over the money to them.

Master Liu's family is not well-off, and like other parents, he gets up early every day to make breakfast for his children, and after watching the children finish eating, he simply eats something and goes to work.The difference is that he occasionally makes a few extra servings and asks his children to take them to school for classmates who don’t have time for breakfast.He did it unintentionally, but who knew that it would become a shade, and gradually some parents who were in a hurry to go to work in the morning would send their children to him for breakfast.Of course, it won't be in vain. The adults naturally know that Master Liu's family is not rich, and they are well-versed in the world, so they will give Master Liu some money.Money is naturally not too much, after all, everyone is short on money, but it will not be too little, after all, people's food does not fall from the sky, and if there is less, how will other families live.

In short, it is a price that everyone can accept.

Relying on this, Master Liu has made a small fortune.

Later, the owner of a stationery store next to the school could not continue to open because of an accident at home, so he planned to rent out the store for some money to help his family share the burden.The owner's son was also one of the members who had breakfast at Master Liu's house. Once, the boss casually chatted with Master Liu about this matter when he was sending his son to have breakfast.During dinner at night, Master Liu shared his idea of ​​renting a store to sell breakfast. The family discussed it and decided to try it first.

Master Liu took out part of his savings and the breakfast money he earned during this period, rented the shop from the boss, and turned it into a breakfast stand, selling simple things like noodles and steamed buns.

The location of the store is very good, the primary school is opposite, the junior high school is behind the primary school, and it is not far away, it is a treasured place of geomantic omen.

Because I have done something similar to this before, it can be regarded as a source of customers. In addition, everyone knows and trusts Master Liu, and the business is not bad.

Master Liu is also careful. Considering the different appetites of children in junior high school and elementary school, he changed the food portions into three types: large, medium and small, which is convenient for both children and adults.In order to solve the problem of children buying things with breakfast money and starving their stomachs, he will also make some cute little steamed buns and sell them at a price that is so low that there is almost no profit at all, and let the children eat them as snacks , not hungry.

The existence of this kind of steamed buns is just the kindness of Master Liu, but I never thought that the small steamed buns are so cute and delicious. Not only elementary school students like them, but also junior high school students and adults. They often make a bunch of them and they will be snapped up soon. empty.Those who came late and didn't buy it, didn't bother to go to other places, so they just ate something casually in Master Liu's store, which also brought business to the store invisibly.

A few years later the school was relocated, the primary and junior high schools were moved elsewhere, the old primary and junior high schools were demolished, and a high school was built in its place.The children who went to school with cute steamed buns in their mouths became the students of this high school.

If it is said that primary and junior high schools make money by selling stationery, then high school is about making money from milk tea and restaurants. But at that time, there was no such thing as milk tea, so the restaurant business was easy to make money.

The stationery store next to it has already sensed the business opportunity, and has changed their appearance one after another, turning them into restaurants.Not to be outdone, Master Liu spent money to decorate the breakfast shop into a restaurant without saying a word.

Although the competitiveness is high, Master Liu has cooked breakfast anyway, and the students know him, and compared to those restaurant owners who have never eaten, don’t know the depth, and restaurant owners who have grown up, Master Liu, who knows the basics and is honest, can be trusted. , so most of the students will choose to take care of his business.Master Liu also lived up to expectations, not to mention the portion of each dish, the price is also fair, and from time to time he would chat with people or send a fruit drink or something. More like a neighbor who cares about his children.

Most of the people who have graduated and traveled all over the world come back to the store. Even if the other party's temperament and appearance change greatly, Master Liu can recognize it at a glance, and he can accurately report the most frequently ordered dishes of the other party without asking the other party. The name of the dish, and chatting with the other party without any unfamiliarity, makes people feel very cordial.

It is precisely because of this consistent kindness that has remained unchanged for many years, even if the restaurant is not open, people still remember him and the taste of that year, and they have never forgotten it for many years.

Now that Liu Ji restaurant has opened again, those old customers who haven't tasted it for a long time will invite their old friends to come in twos and threes, sit at the dining table and look in expectantly.

"Oh, oh, I haven't worked for a long time, I don't have the strength, I can't copy."

Master Liu came out with a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, put it on the table, pulled up a bench and sat down, took off the white cloth on his shoulders to wipe off the sweat, pointed to the busy young backs inside and explained to these old customers:

"I couldn't let go of the restaurant, and I couldn't work, so I asked him for help."

"This kid is handsome, and the stir-fried dishes are delicious. You have to try it. After you're done, cheer him up and praise him more. Encouragement will motivate you."

He pointed to the other two busy people:

"These two children are also hired by me, and they are also helpful. They work diligently and nimbly. They have done a lot of work for me, an old bone. They are two good children."

After speaking, he thumped his sore back and brought cold beer and drinks to the guests.It happened that He Mengwen came out with a dish, he took it, and hurriedly greeted the guests to taste it: "Try it quickly, Xiao Gu made it, this kid is very skilled, and the dishes are delicious."

The guest was dubious, but still tried it for face, and couldn't stop immediately, picked up a big chopstick, took a few mouthfuls of the rice, and sent the plate to the side: "Come on, try it, it's really good eat."

Several other people tasted it suspiciously, and were full of praise:

"It's delicious. I didn't expect this young man to cook as well as those old hotel chefs who have been working for many years. It's really good."

"Originally, I came here for you, Master Liu, but I didn't expect to be attracted by this young man's cooking skills. Old Liu, don't blame me for not being loyal enough. You introduced this person."

"Old Liu, where did you pick up the treasure? This is really lucky."

……

Everyone's praises were more or less exaggerated, but this did not affect Master Liu's happy mood after hearing it.Seeing him happy, everyone smiled and said:

"Old Liu, don't think that you can relax with him. That's not okay. We waited for so long and finally waited for you to come back. Don't try to send us away with a young man."

"Yes, yes, we have waited for so long, you can't let us have fun for nothing."

It's not that everyone has never seen the world. They have eaten things that are many times more delicious than this. Although the taste of this dish is indeed good, how can people who have seen big winds and waves be affected by this little appetite and forget that they are here? The purpose of this?

But although the main purpose of everyone coming here is because of Master Liu and the memories of his youth, but everyone also knows the physical condition of Master Liu, so naturally they will not embarrass him:

"We know that your body is not as strong as before, and we don't have to force you to continue cooking. We just want to taste the taste of the past, even if it's just a small dish, that's good."

Master Liu naturally knew why they came, so he immediately promised: "Don't worry, since I decided to reopen the restaurant, I won't let you down. I will cook at least one dish for you all by myself!"

"Oh oh oh—Old Liu still understands us!"

Everyone smiled, all looking satisfied.

12. Leave work early

◎"I made a small report to Brother Liu."◎

The business of the restaurant is booming day by day, and more and more people know about it. Master Liu is also very happy to see the familiar faces. He cooks and chats happily every day, and has already thrown away the three chapters of the contract with his son.

Gu Fengzhu looked at the old man who was sweating profusely and his hands were sore from frying every day. He was a little bit worried and distressed, but because he didn't know him very well and he was cold-tempered, he couldn't say it out.

Until one day I saw the old man hiding in a corner and taking a lot of medicine secretly, this worry finally broke out.

He sneaked to the front under the guise of going to the bathroom, told the two people who were busy preparing to open the door that it was a holiday this afternoon, and sent them home. Before the opening time, there was no one in the store, and the " Closed" sign was put up, and the store door was quietly closed.

The kitchen and the reception area are separated by wooden boards, and a simple wooden door is cut in the middle to facilitate entry and exit and pass dishes.There are no windows on the wooden boards. If the door is closed, the people inside will be like blind people who cannot see what is going on outside.

When Gu Fengzhu went in, Master Liu had already finished preparing the dishes, and was pulling up a stool to sit down and wait for the guests to come.He closed the door casually, blocking Master Liu's gaze from looking out. Then, with a look on his face that nothing happened, he silently moved the ready
