The next day, Su Qiao went downstairs and saw Su Guoan sitting at the dining table drinking honey water, with a slightly stooped back and a haggard face.
After all, it is because he is getting older, unlike when he was young, he can bear it. It's just a hangover, as if he has been drained of energy, and his whole body is visibly tired.
Su Qiao slowed down, looked at her father, and pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
In his impression, his father was the pillar of the family, loving and serious, as if he would always remain in his prime, with black hair and never getting old.
But in fact, unknowingly, his strong body has gradually weakened with the passage of time, leaving only a middle-aged man who is not so tall and straight.
Su Qiao's nose got sore for some reason, and she took two steps forward, put her hands on Su Guoan's shoulders, and pressed him a few times, trying to relieve her father's fatigue.
Su Guoan paused the hand holding the cup, and looked back: "Jiujiu? It's up."
"Yeah." Su Qiao nodded. "Dad, do you have a headache?"
"A little bit." Su Guoan gradually relaxed his stiff shoulders under the movements of his youngest son. "The back was also pounded. I got up a little late today, so I don't have to go to class?"
"Classes are scheduled in the afternoon." Su Qiao said. "I'll have time to go out after lunch."
After beating his back for a while, Su Guoan felt much more comfortable, and said with relief, "Jiujiu is really sensible."
Su's father suddenly remembered, and asked, "Is that restaurant of yours opened? Dad has been busy these days, so he forgot, and didn't bother to give you an opening gift. Is there anything you want?"
"No." Su Qiao shook her head quickly.After thinking about it, he said, "Is there any big business recently? I came back last night and heard from my mother that you were drunk and couldn't stand upright."
The tone was soft, with a bit of dissatisfaction and condemnation.
Su Guoan's eyes fluttered suddenly, and he explained: "Isn't there anything I can do, I want to entertain foreign inspection teams..."
Although it was unavoidable, Su Guoan knew that his wife and children were worried about him, so he felt a little unreasonable. When he spoke, he smiled and felt a little guilty.
"Foreign inspection team?" Su Qiao was curious. "Investigate what?"
Su Guoan drank the honey water in the cup in two or three sips, and said in detail: "Didn't a foreign trade company order a large amount of goods from our company before? After it was launched in the foreign market, the sales were good. A large chain department store noticed it and came here specially." After half a month of investigation, if there is no accident, we may sign a long-term supply contract with the company."
Su's father attached great importance to this matter, because the inspection team came from a famous foreign department store, which has many stores in various European countries.If a cooperation can be reached in the end, the amount of goods exported every month will not be small, and the profits will be considerable.
In this case, of course, the expedition team should be treated well.
Su Qiao was still a little puzzled, and asked, "Do foreign countries also have wine table culture?"
In fact, he has always felt that it is incredible that important matters have to be finalized at the dinner table. It is obviously better to discuss when both parties are clear-headed.
Father Su: "..."
Su's father said with a headache: "The inspection team that came this time are all British and Russian..."
So let’s not talk about drinking, those in Russia still drink vodka.
Su Qiao: "...ah."
At noon, Su Qiao went to the store to have a look before going to class, and it was still the same as yesterday, with a lot of customers.
Many people came here to try something new on the first day, and were overwhelmed by the taste of the dishes. Today, they invited friends and family to wait here.Before it was time to eat in the queue, I stood outside and described it to my peers.
"I'm really not exaggerating at all, I guarantee you will be convinced after eating it later!"
"The taste is absolutely amazing. I haven't reached this level in my own practice for another 30 years. It's just different, and it's delicious."
"I ordered about four or five dishes yesterday, and the two of them emptied out abruptly, and I couldn't bear to leave a bite. I'll have to order that golden fan screen later, it's fresh and refreshing—"
……
Su Qiao walked forward from the end of the line. A customer who came the day before recognized him and said with a smile, "Little boss, are you here? We are here to take care of business again today, but the line is getting longer and longer!"
Indeed, compared to yesterday, today's team has a larger number of people, and the courtyard separated by the false fence can no longer stand, and the queue has gone outside.Fortunately, it is located at the end of the street, so it will not affect the traffic.
Judging from the speed at which the stage was turned, the person at the end of the line would have to wait an hour for their meal.
Su Qiao hid her chin in her collar to keep warm, only showing a pair of smiling eyes, and the tip of her nose was a little red from the cold air. She said very embarrassedly: "The shop is a bit small...there are not enough tables. If you If it can be expanded, it may not have to wait in such a long line, but it has just opened now, and there is no plan to expand the store. Please wait for a long time."
The customer just said casually, but he didn't really mind, and said, "It's nothing. The main thing is that it tastes good, and I'm willing to wait. I'm thinking that I can eat something that suits my taste later, and blow the cold wind." It's nothing."
This remark received the approval of a line of customers.
Su Qiao smiled at them again and went into the shop.
With yesterday's experience, the waiters are not so busy today.Although it still doesn't touch the ground, the division of labor is clear and the efficiency is much higher.
He helped a few tables of guests order food, and found that he didn't seem to need to help with serving dishes, so he went to the cashier and stood there, ready to replace it when he was too busy.
But I was also a little strange, why did I still feel that I was short of people yesterday, but today I feel much better?
Looking at the number of customers, not only is there no decrease, but it has increased compared to yesterday.
Su Qiao asked the cashier girl, and learned that when she came to open the door this morning, Sister Zhong gathered everyone together for a short meeting, readjusted the division of labor, clarified everyone's responsibilities, and asked them to do their job well things.
Although I have been trained before, I always talk about it on paper before opening the business, and I find that there are many problems when I actually do things.For example, yesterday there was a situation where the dishes ordered by a table of guests were served twice, and it was later discovered that the dishes ordered by another table were also served.
Sister Zhong has rich experience, so she remembered everything and took immediate measures.
With just such an adjustment, although the work intensity is still high, it will not make mistakes in the middle of a busy schedule, at least it can last through the opening period.Wait until a few new waiters are recruited later, and they will be able to slow down.
This is the benefit of having a mature employee who can be useful in many unexpected places.
Su Qiao was a little grateful to Sister Zhong in her heart, and silently decided to give her a salary increase at the end of the month.
……
After class in the afternoon, Su Qiao was resting in front of an empty table in the store, reading the comments about Su Ji posted by diners on Dianping.com, and suddenly a waiter came over and called him: "Boss, there is a table over there that wants to see you." .”
Su Qiao gave a "hmm" in doubt, and looked at the table the waiter said.
It was just past three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not as many people in the store as before, so they could be seen at a glance.
There are four customers at a table, and there is a familiar face.
Su Qiao recognized it immediately. The one with a familiar face was the bearded photographer who came to take pictures when she was looking for food to promote the Jincheng official account.
Mustache was also looking this way, and when he met his gaze, he waved, but his expression was a little embarrassed.
Su Qiao didn't understand what it meant, so she stood up and walked over there.At the same time, the remaining three people at that table also looked at him, with scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes.
Su Qiao: "...?"
He walked over slowly, the mustache stood up first, and said hello: "Little boss."
Su Qiao nodded, looking at the diners' reviews and seeing that half of them were called over, she was a little unhappy.But he didn't show it, just said: "What's the matter?"
"This..." Mustache felt a little uncomfortable, thinking about how to speak.
Ever since the last time he ate the meal when he was shooting product photos here, he has been haunted by Su Ji's dreams, and he has whispered several times in private that he plans to come to eat after the opening.
Originally, it was just my own business, but the colleague who admired high-end ingredients before had to sneer and say that Mustache had never seen the world, and Su Ji's level was still uncertain, so he was blown to the sky.
It's just a small restaurant, and the ingredients are ordinary, so how can it be delicious?
Mustache was ridiculed, not to be outdone, and retorted that his colleagues only knew about expensive food, but they forgot that food ultimately depends on the taste. Even if it’s just ordinary ingredients, can’t they make delicious food?
The two came and went, arguing for twenty minutes in the work group.In the end, the focus of the debate has shifted from whether Su Ji’s taste is good or not. It has become whether expensive ingredients must be better than ordinary ingredients. In the pursuit of food, should we pursue value and scarcity, or should we pursue the most basic taste?
The other people on the official account watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. Someone posted a "fight and fight" emoticon package, which suddenly ignited emotions.
The dispute between the two factions has never been clear. There are many food critics who not only want to eat, but also taste and style.Whether the ingredients are famous or not, the cooking methods are not particular, and even whether there are any stories and historical meanings behind the dishes, you have to come up with a story or two, so as to prove that you can eat and know how to eat.
Those who disagree with this argument feel that they are putting the cart before the horse.Food is food after all, whether it is delicious or not should be the first and only criterion for judging, and the rest can only be used as added value, and should not be a distraction.
There is no doubt that Mustache and his colleagues have different opinions and no one can convince the other.Not only that, but you have to talk about it.
My colleagues didn't believe that Su Ji could make such delicious food, so they firmly said: "If I am really delicious, I will cover your food expenses for a year!"
Mustache hesitated and said: "...Isn't that unnecessary?"
The colleague's face was full of self-confidence that he didn't know the changes in the world, and he said triumphantly: "That's the deal."
Mustache: "..."
After all, it is because he is getting older, unlike when he was young, he can bear it. It's just a hangover, as if he has been drained of energy, and his whole body is visibly tired.
Su Qiao slowed down, looked at her father, and pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
