The next day, Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou arrived at the B&B. Xie Zhiyao was already waiting with seven or eight young men and women. Judging from their childish faces, they were about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Qin Hao has seen these people in the village. They usually help his family with farm work in the fields. They look darker and stronger than the children in the city.
"Brother Hao." Xie Xiaojun greeted Qin Hao enthusiastically.
Qin Hao nodded at him, and then said to the girls present, "You and Manager Xu go upstairs for the interview."
Xu Hongdou stood up and smiled at the girls, "Follow me Come on."
The girls followed Xu Hongdou to the guest room upstairs.
Xie Zhiyao said that I would go back first.
"Yes."
After sending Xie Zhiyao away, Qin Hao glanced at the four boys present.
"If any of you have ever learned how to be a chef, please raise your hand."
The four of them looked around, but no one raised their hands. It was obvious that no one had, except Xie Xiaojun. They all lowered their heads and were a bit shy in character. As for Xie Xiaojun, this kid had been hanging around outside for a long time. He had a thick skin and smiled at Qin Hao, showing his big white teeth.
"Raise your hand if you usually help with cooking at home." Qin Hao asked again.
Two boys hesitated and slowly raised their hands.
Qin Hao pointed to the kitchen counter, "Each of you cut a plate of shredded potatoes and have a look."
Both boys obediently picked up their kitchen knives and began to shred potatoes. One boy's knife skills are pretty good and he moves very quickly. The disadvantage is that the thickness of the potato shreds he cuts is inconsistent, while the other boy's knife skills are a bit worse. However, he is more patient in doing things and does not pursue speed. On the contrary, the potato shreds he cuts are not consistent. relatively close.
After the two finished cutting a potato, Qin Hao signaled them to stop.
"That's enough, I probably know your level."
After the two returned to the team, Qin Hao said to the four of them, "The work of the kitchen will be very hard, you must follow me." Shall I learn?"
Xie Xiaojun was the first to say, "Brother Hao, accept me, and I will learn from you."
The other three children also nodded.
"Okay, but I will say the ugly things first. The skill of cooking a spoon cannot be developed in a year and a half, especially since you all have no foundation. You have to start from scratch. It's still too late to regret now. "Qin Hao first poured cold water on the four of them.
The four of them, Xie Xiaojun, repeatedly patted their chests and promised that they had endured the hardship.
"Then let's start with cutting the potatoes into shreds." After Qin Hao finished speaking, he led the four people to the operating table and began to dismantle the action of cutting the potatoes into shreds.
"Generally speaking, the surface of potatoes is somewhat curved, making it difficult to place them firmly. In the first step, we can cut a piece from the cross side of the potato, and then place the cut side on the eucalyptus Is it flat on the board? In addition, when cutting potatoes into shreds, you must use both hands. The hand holding the knife should be steady and not straight up or down.To the side, curl up the fingers of the hand holding the food, and use the finger bones to press the side of the knife, so as not to cut the hand."
In the astonished eyes of Xie Xiaojun and the other four, Qin Hao had already quickly cut the knife. A potato was cut into shreds. The potato shreds were not only very thin, but the thickness looked as precise as if they were pushed out by a machine.
"Brother Hao, you are so good at this knife." After a few years of practice, I can become as good as you." Xie Xiaojun was full of amazement.
Qin Hao put down the knife and patted him on the head, "Don't always aim too high, practice for half a year first. "
After finishing speaking, Qin Hao said seriously to the other three people, "Cooking skills rely on learning and understanding, but as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to practice them one day sooner or later. When you can Once you cut a potato in one minute and the potato shreds are of the same thickness, you can come to me to learn how to cook. ”
Hearing this, the two boys who had shredded potatoes before silently picked up the kitchen knives and started practicing. Seeing this, Xie Xiaojun and the other boy also started practicing.
From then on Coming out of the kitchen, Qin Hao came to the second floor and found Xu Hongdou chatting with the girls. The girls were not as nervous as before in the kitchen, and they all had smiles on their faces.
"That's it. For now, you go back first, and I will notify you by text message when I get the result. "
After the three girls left, Qin Hao asked Xu Hongdou "How is it?"
Xu Hongdou shook his head and sighed, "Two of the girls are fine, the oldest one His qualifications are much worse, and his smile is not friendly. "
The waiter's requirement is not necessarily how good-looking he is, but he needs to have a certain affinity. In many cases, an approachable smile can resolve many conflicts.
"It doesn't matter. , a blessing in disguise, maybe she will have other opportunities, don't put too much pressure on yourself. "Qin Hao comforted.
"Yes. ”
At noon, Qin Hao went around the kitchen and found that the shredded potatoes in Xie Xiaojun’s basket were obviously less than those in the baskets of the other three boys. Needless to say, this boy must be lazy, but Qin Hao didn't give in.
"From today on, you will have lunch and dinner here, and I will cook. It's up to you how much you can learn. ”
Xie Xiaojun and the other two were very excited when they heard that they could learn cooking skills.
After seeing Qin Hao’s cooking skills, the four boys’ eyes were filled with admiration and admiration.
"Okay, don't stand here stupidly, let's serve it. ”
From time to time at the dining table, the voices of Xie Xiaojun and the four others would be heard in amazement, each of them devouring their food like prisoners who had just been released.
Perhaps there are With this stimulation, in the afternoon, even Xie Xiaojun stopped being lazy and started to practice knife skills seriously. Qin Hao didn't mean to stare at them. The master led them in and practiced alone. If he didn't want to learn, it would be useless to hold the kitchen knife against his neck. .
At night, Qin Hao was enjoying the cool in the small courtyard, and Xie Zhiyao was carrying a pot of plum blossoms.Zijiu came over.
"Where is Xu Hongdou?"
Qin Hao pointed to the second floor, "There is a complete training tutorial in the room. Why are you in such a good mood today? Come to me for a drink."
< p>"Hey, I'm not upset, so I came to complain to you." Xie Zhiyao sighed.Qin Hao asked curiously, "Hasn't the Boring Shaohua Bookstore already decided to settle in Yunmiao Village? What else do you have to worry about?"
"Don't mention it, don't mention this. Okay, talking about this makes me angry." Xie Zhiyao sat across from Qin Hao, poured two glasses of wine, drank his own glass in one go, and then looked directly at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao laughed and scolded, "You don't even know when to bring snacks when you're drinking."
"Hey, I just want to give you a slap in the face."
< p>"Okay, let me make two side dishes to go with wine."After simply frying some stir-fried pork and edamame, Qin Hao asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
"Shaohua Bookstore took a fancy to the ancestral home of Uncle Deqing's family. At first Grandpa Yang refused, but my dad helped with the work, and Grandpa Yang reluctantly agreed. As a result, his son Uncle Deqing took the opportunity to increase the price, and I still paid it back. I didn't dare to tell Shaohua Bookstore, otherwise they might think that our Yunmiao villagers have bad habits and just give up the idea of settling down." Xie Zhiyao said depressedly.
Qin Hao thought for a while, "Does Shaohua Bookstore have to be the ancestral house? Does Yang Deqing know this?"
Xie Zhiyao's eyes lit up, "You mean"< /p>
"The price increase shows that Yang Deqing wants to rent. What do such greedy people fear most?"
"The most fearful thing is that the duck in the mouth will fly away"
Xie Zhiyao slapped his thigh and ran out of the courtyard without saying a word.
"You don't want to drink anymore"
"You don't want to drink anymore. You can drink it. I have to go to the village committee first."
Qin Hao Shaking his head, he poured himself a glass of wine and savored the leisure time.
Xu Hongdou came down from upstairs and saw Qin Hao pouring himself a drink. He couldn't help but curiously asked, "Why are you drinking here alone?"
"Xie Zhiyao said He asked me to have two drinks with him, but he ran away halfway through the drink. This plum wine is good, why don't you order some?" Qin Hao smiled at Xu Hongdou.
Xu Hongdou did not refuse and went to the small kitchen to find a clean cup.
"Well, this plum wine tastes really good, but the stamina is a bit strong, so I can't drink more." Xu Hongdou picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and asked curiously.
"Have something happened to Mr. Xie? He suddenly asked you for a drink?"
Qin Hao explained the situation, and Xu Hongdou held her head and looked at Qin Hao with a smile. "You are really bad, full of evil."
"Don't talk nonsense, it was all Xie Zhiyao's doing, it's none of my business."
"Pfft."
While chatting and drinking, Xu Hongdou gradually became tipsy and her face turned red.
Qin Hao saw her drinkingWhen he was almost done, he helped her back to the room. But before the door could be closed, Xu Hongdou hugged him from behind, and her hot cheeks were still rubbing Qin Hao's neck.
Unable to bear it anymore, Qin Hao turned around and carried Xu Hongdou to the bed. The two looked at each other for half a minute, and Xu Hongdou suddenly took the initiative to kiss her.
Qin Hao's breathing became heavier and his movements became more and more rough, but this time Xu Hongdou did not flinch at all, but took the initiative to cater to him.
Two days later, Qin Hao's B&B started its trial operation. There was no grand scene, not even firecrackers. It was mainly to take care of the emotions of nearby villagers.
"Old Qin, congratulations." Xie Zhiyao smiled and presented the flower basket.
"Same joy, Mr. Xie doesn't need to be so formal, it's just a trial opening." Qin Hao smiled and welcomed Xie Zhiyao in.
Xie Zhiyao said sternly, "Trial opening is also business. You have helped me so much, so I must do something."
After that, Xie Xiaochun, brother and sister, and Aunt Feng also When they all arrived, Xu Hongdou took them around.
Suddenly a white Samoyed rushed into the store, and then a girl was also brought into the store.
"Da Mai, why are you here?" Qin Hao was a little surprised when he saw the girl's appearance clearly.
Da Mai used all his strength to hold the dog, panted for a while, and then said to Qin Hao, "Didn't I hear that your B&B is open for trial operation? I recently paid a royalties." , I just wanted to come and see you."
Xu Hongdou saw Damai coming upstairs and immediately trotted down.
"Sister Hongdou." Damai immediately threw herself into Xu Hongdou's arms and started crying.
Xu Hongdou smiled and patted her back to comfort her, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. Today is a happy day."
Damai gradually stopped. With tears streaming down her face, Xu Hongdou took out a tissue and wiped her with it, "This is your luggage. Let's go. You will stay in our B&B these days and give us your valuable advice."
"This Okay, you still have to do business." Damai hesitated.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "It's just a trial opening, and the rooms are all empty. You can just pick the one you like, and you're welcome."
"Then You're welcome, Sister Hongdou, I want the one at the end." Seeing Qin Hao say this, Damai happily held Xu Hongdou's hand.
"Okay, let me show you the room first. If you don't like it, you can change it at any time."
"Pick up your hands and let's go upstairs."
< p>The two of them and the dog just went upstairs. Without Xu Hongdou to help greet the guests, Qin Hao was even busier. Fortunately, Xie Zhiyao saw that the scene was a bit chaotic, so he persuaded all the people in the village who came to congratulate him to go back.At around ten o'clock, the first group of guests finally arrived at the B&B. They were a family of three, with a little boy about six or seven years old. The couple asked for a room upstairs.
"Xiaowen, please take the guest to the room. ”
Xiaowen is one of the two waiters trained by Xu Hongdou. In two months, Xiaowen’s temperament has changed significantly. At least her speech and behavior are no different from those of waiters in five-star hotels. There is a gap.
"Okay, three of you, please follow me. "Although Xiaowen was still a little nervous, she still maintained a gentle smile.
After sending the guests to the room, Xiaowen closed the door, turned her back, patted her chest, and took a deep breath.< /p>
After gaining experience in receiving guests, Xiaowen found that it was not as difficult as she imagined, so she became more calm, and her performance also gave another waiter confidence.
p>On the other side, Xu Hongdou sent Damai to the room
Damai immediately liked the decoration of the room, "Wow, Sister Hongdou, you did all these little decorations, right?"
p>"Yes, some of them I bought before, and some were found in the village. You see, that wooden doll was made by Xia Xia. "Xu Hongdou reached out and touched the dog's head, and said with a smile.
Da Mai nodded and praised, "Every room here is different? I just saw the door. The colors are all different. ”
“As expected of a writer, I have strong observation skills. Yes, every room here is different from the layout to the decoration. We strive to give guests a different experience every time they come. . "Xu Hongdou said quite proudly.
After saying that, Xu Hongdou pointed at the "pinch" and joked, "It seems that you have completely adapted to the life of raising a dog. This time you even I also brought some handfuls with me. "
"I can't help it. I originally wanted to throw it to my dad, but my dad said that if you want to raise it, you must be responsible to the end. Do you think my dad is too much?" Damai started to complain about his old age again. Dad.
While the two were chatting, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Nana"
"Da Mai"
< p>The two girls hugged each other excitedly, so that they were caught in the middle. They looked left and right, and finally lay down at Xu Hongdou's feet.Xu Hongdou. Seeing that the two of them were so happy, Hongdou suggested, "How about I ask Qin Hao to make some side dishes later, and the three of us can just drink a few drinks here without bringing anyone else."
"Okay, okay Ah, when the time comes, you will hold the door and no one will be allowed in, you know. "
