Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 279 Turning Defeat into Victory (Part [-])
"Huh?" Jin Xi moved the stack of account books to the front. All the literate people on the table stared at Jin Xi's hand without blinking their smiles. Light never leaves Jin Xi's hands.

Jin Xi's eyes fell on the cover of the top ledger, and she subconsciously stopped her fingers.She was sure that if she opened this finger, the people at the table would definitely burst into laughter.

Jin Xi shook her head, picked up the top ledger, shook it at Wang Xiucai, smiled faintly, turned around, and straightened the upside-down ledger.

Those people at the table who were going to see Jinxi make a fool of themselves were stunned, could it be that this country girl can read?Do you know that the ledger is deliberately placed upside down?Wang Xiucai frowned slightly, but then opened it again. This doesn't mean anything, maybe it's just a coincidence, just wait and see!
While everyone was wondering, Jin Xi had lowered her eyes and began to flip through the account books in her hands. In the eyes of everyone, Jin Xi just flipped through a few pages of each book and glanced at it briefly. Opened, only scanned two lines of words on the front page, then quickly closed and replaced the next one, and read the whole book like this.

Not to mention country girls who don't know much Chinese characters, even people who can read a lot like Shopkeeper Xie and the others, they still have to take the time to look carefully, this is the account!

Manager Hu and Guanshi Li winked and smiled secretly.Shopkeeper Xie secretly shook his head, his eyes shifted from Jin Xi to other places, there was suppressed anger in his eyes, as well as disappointment, disdain, doubt and dissatisfaction.

Thinking that I work hard for the restaurant, take care of the internal and external management, and work hard, so this owner should fall on my shoulders!Now that the heavy burden is placed on the shoulders of this country girl who doesn't understand anything, what joke is Dong Wen's family playing?This is to disregard the livelihood of the restaurant!Shopkeeper Xie narrowed his eyes slightly. If he really couldn't do it, he couldn't be foolish and loyal.

Everyone continued to stare at Jin Xi suspiciously, only to see that Jin Xi took out a few books with the same shape from the stack of account books, and also took out a few small paper-cuts stuck inside from certain account books, Also put aside together.

She glanced at Wang Xiucai over there, her voice was still calm, but her eyes were faintly sharp, and said: "Although I am a layman, I often hear people say that everything about managing accounts No matter how high you are, you have to be a thoughtful person first of all."

Wang Xiucai was taken aback for a moment, looking at the two books that Jinxi picked out and a few torn pieces of paper, and the densely packed words on the paper, Wang Xiucai's face, which had been full of complacency before, changed slightly.

Could it be that this country girl has studied?No, in his conception, even the sons of farmers who plan to eat in the soil are seldom able to read books, let alone girls?

"Hey, Xiucai, what did you mix in those books?" The cook Hong next to him was also illiterate. Seeing Wang Xiucai's appearance, he couldn't help but touched Wang Xiucai's elbow curiously, and asked in a low voice, how could Wang Xiucai have anything? mind pay attention.

At this time, Jin Xi continued: "What I want to see is the account books of the two quarters of the restaurant. Regarding Wang Xiucai's essay on your feelings, it is your privacy, and I dare not pry into it. But, Wang Xiucai, you He is also a person with a delicate mind. Otherwise, he would not have copied those popular jokes from the dramas he has read. However, you should paste them into your mood essays, not as attachments to restaurants In the account of the drink column, this is inappropriate!"

Everyone at the table was secretly surprised. Shopkeeper Xie was staring at the screen in a daze, but he also turned his face when he heard the words, just in time to see Jin Xi's indifferent and steady voice, and Wang Xiucai's face flushed instantly because of shame.

"Wang Xiucai, it's in vain that you are always careful. What's the matter today? Why don't you quickly collect your letters and scriptures, and let the boss laugh at you!" Shopkeeper Xie pretended to be angry, and shouted at Wang Xiucai.Wang Xiucai was not with him, saying that he made a mistake and mixed the two together, and promised not to be an example.

Jin Xi smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea, she didn't bother to be a good person to dissuade her, she drank tea calmly and listened to the shopkeeper thanking Wang Xiucai.

Who asked you to make a trip to test me, to see me laugh?This is what you deserve!

In the end, Manager Hu came forward to smooth things over, and Shopkeeper Xie found a step to stop. Wang Xiucai sat there with his face drooping slightly, and his heart was full of sulking.This country girl is very literate, she really underestimated her, so she picked up a stone and shot herself in the foot. However, everything was a test before, and Wang Xiucai is still full of confidence in his ability to keep accounts. Can you see what is in his accounts? The mystery comes, is the real test of the master!When he seizes the opportunity later, he will definitely go to meet her to save face!
Shopkeeper Xie asked Wang Xiucai to bring out the account books, mainly to test how much ink Jinxi had in his stomach, and whether he could not read big characters. Now that he has made such a test, it is clear that the new owner can read a lot of characters.That being the case, this matter can only end here, there is no way to test a young girl who is an outsider, after all, every line is like a mountain, even the shopkeeper Xie himself may not be aware of the twists and turns .

Mr. Hu smoothed things over, and the atmosphere on the table quickly became lively again. The two singers playing the pipa were instructed to change the previous low and heavy tune to a cheerful and light local tea-picking song. the minor.

Outside the house, the guys began to serve the dishes one after another. As the meal time approached, the restaurant gradually became lively.

The banquet was very sumptuous, a large table was set up, everyone exchanged glasses, and Jin Xi used tea instead of wine. In front of the food and wine, everyone was happy and harmonious.

While eating a meal, a man dressed as a cook hurried in to ask for instructions.

"Mr. Qian is holding a family banquet at the Chrysanthemum Pavilion on the second floor. I heard that a big golden carp has arrived in our restaurant. We ordered steamed golden carp by name. I also asked Master to make it yourself, so I came here to invite you..."

"I have taught you a lot on weekdays? I have taught you hand in hand, and you have learned everything else well. Why is this steamed golden carp so timid? Idiot!" Cook Hong was drinking a small wine, a little Not happy!
"Master, the steamed golden carp has always been the finale dish of our restaurant, and it is also your signature dish. Golden carp is an uncommon and rare ingredient. We are afraid that it will be difficult to explain if it is messed up." Chef Hong said The subordinates laughed and muttered, and Chef Hong's eyes widened.

Here, Shopkeeper Xie waved his hand and said to Cook Hong: "Xiao Shunzi is right to be worried, Cook Hong, you are the leader of our Mingshan Pavilion, and many new and old customers come here for your craftsmanship. Let's go!"

Manager Hu repeatedly echoed Shopkeeper Xie's words, and said: "...Besides, that Qian Yuanwai is a regular customer of our Wanghai Tower, and every time he holds a banquet in our Mingshan Pavilion, he always spends a lot of money. Such a benefactor can't Offended. Old Hong, Qian Yuanwai praised you, so hurry up and cook the fish for others, and I will keep your wine here for you!"

Chef Hong hummed, got up and pulled away the chair, and strode out of the house, into the house, and continued to push and change glasses.

After a while, Cook Hong's angry voice suddenly came from outside the house. Everyone in the room looked stunned. Watching the door open, Cook Hong walked in with an apron around his waist with a sullen face, and walked around the screen. Sitting on the stool with his buttocks, as if he was angry with someone.

Behind, the little cook who helped earlier also followed in with a bitter expression on his face.

Shopkeeper Xie put down his wine glass, looked at Chef Hong in surprise, and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? The golden carp has been steamed?"

Chef Hong waved his hands, and said with a stiff neck: "Who is that, who pretends to be a master with everyone because he has two stinky money in his hand? I will shave my head and heat one end of the burden. Whoever wants to steam the golden carp, anyway. I don't wait for you!"

Shopkeeper Xie's face darkened. Looking at Chef Hong, the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to reprimand him, but due to Chef Hong's superb cooking skills and reputation outside, he restrained himself, and only turned his head to ask the big helper who followed in. Second Chef: "What's going on?"

The second chef bowed and replied to shopkeeper Xie and everyone at the table: "After the master led me out, I went to the Juge on the second floor to greet Qian Yuanwai, and I learned that Qian Yuanwai is hosting a family banquet today. It was an uncle from the banquet family who came back from Fucheng to visit relatives. The uncle Qian Yuanwai was an old man in his sixties, so the master reminded Qian Yuanwai with concern that the golden carp-like hair is usually an elderly person who is old or suffering from illness People with sores, blisters, and rashes are not suitable for eating."

Shopkeeper Xie nodded slightly, and Jin Xi also nodded secretly, indeed, the carp itself is a hair, let alone the golden carp?The so-called disease comes from the mouth. In the restaurant business, some basic food knowledge is necessary. Moreover, according to the needs of diners and the actual situation, sometimes it is appropriate to make some well-intentioned suggestions. Chef Hong is right.Perhaps, it's just that when expressing, this way is a bit inappropriate, just look at his blushing face at the moment, you can get a glimpse of it.

"Then why did you become such a red-faced Guan Gong?" Shopkeeper Xie glanced at Chef Hong and asked the second chef.

"Mr. Qian didn't appreciate it. He said that his uncle was always healthy and healthy, and he said that the master was a curse. He also slapped the silver on the table, saying that they came for the golden carp. It's not that they can't afford the silver. If you don't see the steamed golden carp, you won't stop..." The second chef muttered.

"Oh, I said, Old Hong, this is your fault." Director Hu complained anxiously to Cook Hong, and said, "Then Qian Yuanwai is a regular customer of our restaurant, the patron of money, How can you offend him?"

"That's right, you said that you are just a cook, not the chef of the imperial dining room in the palace. They can afford money, so what are you doing? Besides, everyone said that his uncle is in good health... "The purchasing manager Li followed the words of the manager Hu and scolded Cook Hong.
