Chapter 300: A Strange Restaurant
The private school opened by Su Lie is called "Seeking Truth", it seems that the place where Huang Zhao will work in the future should be called "Zhenxiang", and both names have the word "true", is it a coincidence or providence? The meaning of the two words "true" is also different, right?
Somehow, Su Lie got into the horns of the name, but then he thought that Huang Zhao said that the big restaurant seemed luxurious, but there were no diners coming in and out, and he felt strange again. This kind of phenomenon is probably rare on Suzaku Street, right?
Huang Zhao was always in a state of excitement, and his eyebrows fluttered to describe: "That restaurant, no, it should be a veritable restaurant!" That's a big one, three stories high! It is all made of fragrant nanmu, not to mention going in, even if you go outside to see the momentum and smell the smell, you can have a little appetite! ”
"Heh~" Su Lie chuckled, "Your depiction is full of flowers, but the preface doesn't match the afterword, which part of you should I believe?" ”
"Huh?" Huang Zhao didn't pay attention to what he was talking about, and he was stupid when he gave Su Lie a shiver.
Su Lie looked helpless and explained: "Did you first say that this restaurant was so deserted, and then said that you can have an appetite when you smell the aroma wafting from it?" ”
"Oh~ It turns out that the eldest brother is talking about this~" Huang Zhao patted his head and smiled: "It's not, it's really a contradictory restaurant!" I walked in and looked, oh my god, a large crystal chandelier on the ceiling was worth a fortune, and the plaques on the walls were also inlaid with gold edges, as well as tables, chairs and benches, most of which were made of pineapple wood! ”
"Oh? It's really a luxurious restaurant, but I'm afraid that people are afraid that the consumption is too high, so they don't dare to enter, right? Su Lie guessed.
Huang Zhaoyi waved his hand and denied: "No, no, no, there is a price list hanging at the door of the restaurant, not only the price of the dishes is comparable to that of other small restaurants, but it is also discounted!" ”
"Hmm~" Su Lie was silent.
Huang Zhao's words, if they were to ordinary people, everyone would be curious for a while, but just listen to them. Su Lie is full of poetry and books, and he is a commander-level figure, who knows everything in the world, and is naturally very keen, but whenever he grasps the clues, he hopes to find out the truth. If the True Fragrance Restaurant is really as Huang Zhao described, it is indeed intriguing, and Su Lie has the heart to find out in the future.
"And how did you get in?" Su Lie asked.
Huang Zhao raised his eyebrows and said: "I, seeing such a high-end restaurant, I thought that there would be no play, so I naturally turned my head and walked out. I'm afraid that he will mistake me for a diner, I have just finished eating noodles, and I only have a penny left in my pocket, how dare I eat overlord meals like before? ”
"If you know, it's good." Su Lie said coldly.
Huang Zhao smiled embarrassedly: "So, I'll explain to the old man who is dressed up quite stylishly, saying that I am actually looking for a cook to work on the streets of Mandong City, and I am really embarrassed to come in and disturb, so I will leave." It was at this moment that my bad luck all day came to an end, and good luck came! The shopkeeper actually stopped me from leaving, saying that the chef had just left the restaurant, and now he was standing in the back kitchen looking at the world and worrying! ”
"So everyone in the restaurant, even the chef is gone?" Su Lie felt even more unusual, but Huang Zhao was still smug and silly.
He continued: "When I heard that his family really needed a cook, I was a little dumbfounded, and I hesitated whether I should stay. I looked at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and I was about to vomit, can the boss change the simple question when I test me? ”
Not to mention Huang Zhao himself, Su Lie already felt like vomiting when he listened to his constant nagging fancy tomato scrambled egg method......
Huang Zhao said: "The boss probably saw me hesitating, for fear that I would run away, so he gave in again and again!" Also, a skilled craftsman like me, generally speaking, no store will refuse, those shopkeepers look at the treasure, and in the end they can always meet someone who knows the goods! ”
"Poof~" Su Lie sprayed tea again.
Huang Zhao said: "The old shopkeeper is kind-hearted, and said to me with a smile, this strong man, from Ming'er, you will come to work in the back kitchen of Zhenxiang Restaurant!" ”
"Huh?" Su Lie was shocked.
Huang Zhao shook his head and said: "It's not, Zhenxiang Restaurant knows people and is good at it, and the shopkeeper sees my face and body, and he agrees to accept me without even taking the exam!" The monthly salary is ten taels of silver, big brother, do you think I am going well today! ”
Su Lie sighed a few times, "Not only are you going well, but you can be regarded as shit luck!" ”
Speechless all night.
On the second day, Huang Zhao still got up with a rooster crow, and hurried to work at the Zhenxiang Restaurant in Dongshi after breakfast.
Su Lie watched his back go away, and his heart was heavy. On the surface, Chang'an City looks prosperous and wealthy, but the crime rate is not high, almost to the point where every family does not close their doors at night and the road is not forgotten. Of course, all this cannot be attributed to the fat emperor, but with Zhong Kui, the magistrate sent by the gods, the city can be so prosperous. The only drawback is that no one dares to go out on the street after dark.
The True Fragrance Restaurant is so weird, Su Lie must go to investigate one or two, but not now, he has to wait and see what happens, let Huang Zhao work there for a few days, and then act after coming back to explain what the situation is.
If you are confused, you can hire an irrelevant person to be the chef, and you can still pay the boss ten taels of silver a month? Such a large amount of money is not something that ordinary people can afford! You must know that no matter how developed the economy here is, the salary of a normal cook is only two or three taels of silver a month, and the best veteran can get a maximum of seven or eight taels......
The day was spent safely, Su Lie still went to the school to teach his books, and after dinner at Zhang Huozi Wine Store in the evening, he walked back unhurriedly by the glow of the western sky.
As soon as it got dark, Huang Zhao also came back, Su Lie paid attention to his expression, and his expression really contained frustration.
Huang Zhao was a person who couldn't hide his thoughts, and Su Lie read by leaning on the candle on the table, waiting for him to speak.
"Hey!" Huang Zhao scratched his head irritably and sat down on the other side of the table.
"Why, such a good job, sigh on the first day of drying?" Su Lie asked, keeping his eyes off the page.
"Hey!" Huang Zhao sighed again: "His grandmother's, I finally know why the boss invited me." ”
"Oh?" Su Lie put down the book and looked straight at Huang Zhao, "Tell me about it?" ”
"Humph! The old shopkeeper didn't plan to use me as a cook at all, but as a door god to suppress evil spirits! ”
"Suppressing evil spirits?" Su Lie smiled, "The stove in the kitchen of the restaurant is vigorous, how can there be an invasion of demons?" Besides, shouldn't it be guarded by the god of the hearth? ”
"Yes, yes," Huang Zhao was finally able to vent the depression in his chest at the end of the day, and his emotions rose again, "It's really evil to talk about this!" The kitchen of Zhenxiang Restaurant is bigger than a whole restaurant, with three large rooms in and out, and a patio full of grape trellises. ”
