Su Qingluan didn't take the waiter's attitude to heart and just ordered a bowl of fresh fish soup from "Hongfulou".
Since she only ordered a bowl of fish soup and was alone, she could not be led to the elegant private room on the second floor, so she had to sit down in the lobby on the first floor.
"Hongfu Restaurant" is worthy of being one of the best restaurants in this town. Even after noon, there was an endless stream of customers. Su Qingluan couldn't even see any free square tables, so he could only find the end of a long narrow table in the corner. Son, he pulled up a square stool and waited for the fish soup.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the fish soup was served. There were a few crispy chopped green onions floating on the milky white fish soup, which whet your appetite.
But when he got closer and smelled it, Su Qingluan couldn't help but sneeze.
"In order to remove the fishy smell, the chef has spent a lot of effort..." The corners of Su Qingluan's mouth twitched slightly, "However, he put the cart before the horse."
After Su Qingluan tasted the fish soup in a few mouthfuls, he figured out the general method of making this fish soup. He had a plan in his mind, so he started to sip the fish soup quickly to buy time. In fact, he was secretly watching and listening in all directions, hoping that Met a person in charge.
I don’t know if she has been talking about it in her heart and annoyed some god. Just when Su Qingluan’s fish soup bottomed out and the waiter came to collect the bowls for the third time, ten people filed down from the private room on the second floor. The remaining people.
The leader was a rich middle-aged man wearing a red t-shirt, an apricot scarf, a round belly, and a mustache.
I saw him guiding the people who followed him all the way downstairs. When he arrived at the entrance of "Hongfu Building", he clasped his fists and cupped his hands at the people behind him and said, "Brothers, it's really a blessing to be able to visit our shop today!"
"Brother Liang, you're welcome. It's truly a blessing to see Brother Liang today." One of them returned the gesture with a fist in his hand.
"Yes, yes," another person also sighed, "I just said goodbye today and don't know when we can get together again."
"If there is fate, we will meet each other!" the third person comforted.
Shopkeeper Liang also nodded in agreement: "When we meet one day, I will sweep the couch to greet you. No matter what time it is, this Hongfu Tower is looking forward to your return."
"Shopkeeper Liang stays..."
"Everyone, walk slowly..."
Su Qingluan ignored the waiter's murderous gaze that kept scanning her body in an attempt to drive her away, and finally caught up with Shopkeeper Liang to send the group of people out.
As soon as Shopkeeper Liang turned around and stepped into "Hongfu Tower", Su Qingluan rushed over and stopped Shopkeeper Liang.
Shopkeeper Liang was startled by the figure that suddenly rushed out. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was just a girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.
He couldn't help but frown: "Why are you so reckless, little lady? Get out of the way!"
The waiters next to me were shocked when they saw it: Why didn't anyone notice that this yellow-haired girl rushed to the big shopkeeper? !
The waiter begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother in his heart, hoping that the shopkeeper would not anger his little boy, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to throw Su Qingluan out.
Su Qingluan nimbly dodged past the waiter and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Liang, your fish soup is not up to standard!"
Su Qingluan's voice became clearer and brighter, and even in the noisy restaurant lobby, it had strong penetrating power. As soon as she said this, the people around her fell silent.
Immediately, the crowd became even more noisy.
"You're actually questioning the food at 'Hong Fook House'? You're really overestimating your capabilities."
"That's right, where did this yellow-haired girl come from? How dare you speak such arrogant words."
"You're not here to cause trouble, are you?"
"It's a joke, 'Hongfu Tower' has been open here for more than 20 years. You won't let a little girl come to ruin the place, right?"
The people watching the excitement around were talking a lot, but most of them were laughing at Su Qingluan for overestimating his abilities and talking arrogantly.
Because of the "Juan Baicai" stall, a few diners recognized Su Qingluan and raised their voices: "Hey, isn't this the Su family lady who makes burritos on the street? Why are you not satisfied with the small business and want to come here? Stealing the business of 'Hongfu Building'?"
Immediately, there was a burst of booing and laughing around, and it was obvious that Su Qingluan was regarded as a joke.
Su Qingluan didn't seem to feel the subtle hostility around her. She just smiled and said: "How dare this little girl move the time-honored brand 'Hongfu Tower' by herself? She just wants to make a mutual benefit with Shopkeeper Liang." It’s just a mutually beneficial business.”
At this time, the clerk started chasing people away again: "What kind of business? I think you are just here to cause trouble, so hurry up and pay the money and go out..."
"Wait!" Shopkeeper Liang suppressed his smile condescendingly and looked at Su Qingluan expressionlessly.
He is tall and muscular. Although he is as amiable as Maitreya when he smiles, when he doesn't smile he feels like a mountain weighing him down, giving him an air of power without anger.
However, Shopkeeper Liang was surprised to find that although the thin girl opposite looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, she still had a slight smile on her face when he looked at her.
The voices around him gradually faded away, and everyone looked towards Shopkeeper Liang.
Even the waiter next to him kept silent while he had a fierce look on his face, his eyes darting around in panic and not knowing what to do. The smile on this little girl's face didn't even fade a bit.
Shopkeeper Liang nodded secretly.
He opened this "Hongfu Tower" to welcome visitors from all religions and nine categories, and he saw everyone there. Regardless of what kind of medicine this little girl is selling, her calm demeanor alone makes it worth listening to her.
So shopkeeper Liang waved his hand to the waiter and told him to do whatever he was supposed to do, and then said to Su Qingluan: "Follow me."
Su Qingluan followed Shopkeeper Liang all the way around, but she didn't ask anything.
On the other hand, Shopkeeper Liang, who was walking in front, laughed and said, "The little girl just followed here so rashly, she's not afraid of any mishaps."
Su Qingluan smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Liang welcomes guests from all over the world and travels alleys. He is busy with big things and makes a lot of money. Naturally, he will not embarrass me, a little girl."
"This mouth is really good at talking."
"I don't dare. The little girl is just telling the truth."
"If you see our master later, if you don't say Zi Wu Mao You, he will only be glib." Shopkeeper Liang said half-jokingly.
Su Qingluan understood that the core figure in this kind of restaurant was not the boss, but the chef.
Only with the skills of the chef can the restaurant continue to open. So in a certain situation, in a restaurant, the person with the greatest prestige and the highest status is not the shopkeeper, but the master chef.
Because he is the one who decides the survival of a restaurant.
Su Qingluan followed Shopkeeper Liang through a small and quiet courtyard, and finally came to the kitchen.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Su Qingluan felt a heat wave that was even hotter than outside, mixed with the noisy clinking of pots and pans, and the continuous shouting and cursing rushing towards her.
"Master Xu!" Shopkeeper Liang said to a burly middle-aged man who was scolding his apprentice for his incompetence in cutting tricks, "Come on!"
When Xu Yuanwei heard the shopkeeper calling him, he touched his neck with a sweat towel and strode over and asked, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?"
Shopkeeper Liang pointed at Su Qingluan who was standing aside, and smiled meaningfully: "I'll bring you someone to kick the gym and cause trouble."
