Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 25

Although Ma Tao is very stupid and easy to deceive, Zhang Xiuqing wanted to do long-term business, so he quoted a price that was even more favorable than the market price, [-] cents per catty, and promised that if the dishes made of snails were not good enough Popular with consumers, she will not charge a penny.

Shao Han asked: "If you are popular..."

As the saying goes, "Teaching apprentices starves masters to death". Many masters are afraid that their apprentices will rob them of business in the future, so they will reserve a hand when teaching skills. Zhang Xiuqing is just the opposite. Take more time to do other things: "Don't worry, I won't hide my secrets."

Shao Han shook his head: "I'm not worried about this, what I'm worried about is that once this new dish is released, once it becomes popular, other restaurants will try to imitate it, and you will also become the object of their vying to win over you. I don’t want to see this kind of phenomenon. In order to avoid unpleasant troubles in the future, I hope you can promise me not to do the thing of ‘one woman marrying more’. As for the price, just follow the market price, I don’t You need to give in."

Cheap can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime, Shao Han has always believed in this sentence.

Although Zhang Xiuqing felt that it was a little strange for Shao Han to apply the idiom "one woman marries more" into the conversation, she didn't think much about it, because at this time her attention was completely attracted by another thing: "These things You can be the master? Who opened the Jiangnan water town?"

Shao Han secretly praised Zhang Xiuqing's sensitivity in his heart, but his face was calm and breezy, and he looked like a very calm person.

Ma Tao turned his head to look at Shao Han's face, the latter nodded slightly to him, Ma Tao immediately glanced to the left and right, then lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Xiuqing, I'll tell you a secret, you are not allowed to tell others. "

Zhang Xiuqing blinked her big eyes and nodded vigorously.

Ma Tao grinned, his eyes sparkled, and he spoke with uncontrollable pride: "The investors in this Jiangnan water town are actually Shao Han and I, but we were both in high school at that time, and we had no time or energy. It's not convenient to come forward for many things, so the legal representative wrote my father's name..."

As he spoke, he paid attention to Zhang Xiuqing's reaction. Sure enough, seeing her widening her eyes and showing an expression of admiration, Ma Tao became more and more complacent, desperately advocating himself and belittling others: "My dad is just the boss in name, Jiangnan Water Town Shao Han and I have the final say, how many fish, shrimps, and snails do you have at home, you can bring them all over next time, the price will be based on the market price, the settlement will be made on the same day, and the money will be paid on the same day... Shen Jianxin and Li Yongming's two thirteen o'clock, To put it nicely, it’s the young owner of the Jiangnan Hotel. To put it bluntly, it’s the two Liu Adou. Don’t look like a dog when they come out, but they are actually full of idiots. I don’t have a good face, and I still want to fight with us, and I don’t want to see how much I am? I don’t know anything, and I will follow suit. If this continues, one day I will close the door..."

Zhang Xiuqing heard several meanings from this passage. First, Shao Han and Ma Tao jointly opened this restaurant when they were in high school; second, her family's fish, shrimp, and snails would no longer have to worry about selling; Thirdly, the two are really fighting in a ring. From the current point of view, Shen Jianxin and Li Yongming are at a disadvantage.

But then the problem came. Zhang Xiuqing remembered very clearly that after Shao Han became famous in his previous life, his biological parents sued him in court in the name of his refusal to pay alimony. Ken sued the court in the name of paying child support, and also submitted relevant evidence.

If Shao Han's experience in this life was the same as that in his previous life, then his parents would not care about him when he was ten years old, except that he had paid child support when he was young.Forced to do nothing, Shao Han can only live with his grandmother. How much savings can the old man save after being poor all his life?What's more, Shao Han has an uncle. If his grandma left him a large inheritance, the property dispute lawsuit will probably reach the Supreme People's Court. It is impossible to be silent like this.

Excluding his own father, mother, and grandma, Shao Han has no other sources of money, so where did he get his start-up funds?It can't be that money rained down from the sky, and Shao Han picked it up from the ground, right?If there is such a possibility, then Zhang Xiuqing also wants to pick it up.

Zhang Xiuqing stared at Shao Han with scorching eyes. Those who didn't know it thought she had taken a fancy to Shao Han. Fortunately, she quickly noticed her gaffe, and immediately changed her expression, revealing a decent smile.She thought that she reacted quickly and no one could see through her disguise, but she didn't know that Shao Han saw all this change of face, and it aroused his suspicion again.

Zhang Xiuqing shifted her attention to the second-rate boy whose IQ was obviously lower than Shao Han: "Ma Tao, your father is very courageous, and he is willing to spend so much money to open a restaurant for the two of you. After all, you were still high school students at the time. No contacts, no experience, so much money, who knows if the meat buns will beat the dog—there will be no return, if someone else, let alone give money, I'm afraid they will beat you up."

Ma Tao couldn't tell that Zhang Xiuqing was trying to test him, so he blurted out: "What? Do you think my father gave me the money to open a restaurant with Shao Han?"

Zhang Xiuqing's eyes flickered slightly, the smile on her lips deepened a little, and she pretended to be stupid and asked, "Isn't it?"

Ma Tao laughed: "Of course not..."

Zhang Xiuqing's heart suddenly mentioned the noise, and seeing that this smug bastard was about to give an answer, Shao Han who was sitting next to him suddenly coughed, and Ma Tao quickly changed his words: "This is me and Shao Han. It’s not convenient for me to tell you this secret for the time being.” After finishing speaking, for fear of Zhang Xiuqing’s anger, he added: “Actually, you guessed right, the money was indeed obtained by my father, but it was Shao Han’s idea. So the two of us opened a restaurant together, and Shen Jianxin and Li Yongming were jealous because of the good business, so they instigated their parents to open a restaurant in the west of the city."

Zhang Xiuqing couldn't help screaming that it's a pity, and then "cut" in her heart, so what if you drag it, it's not that no one loves and no one loves!So what if the restaurant earns money, it's not like being burned to the ground!Zhang Xiuqing had to admit that the spirit of Ah Q could indeed bring a person's mind into balance.

Some incomprehensible things in the previous life also found the answer, probably because of this fire, Shao Han and Ma Tao owed huge debts, and were forced to go to city B not long after graduation. Know how much they have suffered.Zhang Xiuqing went to pour water in the tea room one day, and once heard Shao Han talk about the past with someone on the phone, saying that he almost lost his life several times.

Now there are not many days until the end of the month, do you want to remind them to pay attention to crime prevention?If reminded, how should she explain her own prophet to them?The expression on Zhang Xiuqing's face suddenly became tangled.

Shao Han didn't miss the look of gloating in Zhang Xiuqing's eyes, even though it passed away in a flash, he was still caught by him, but immediately, he saw pity, struggle and distress in her eyes, and he also looked at her face. Arriving at that hesitant expression.

Shao Han decided to find someone to secretly investigate Zhang Xiuqing's life, to find out from whom this girl found out about her past. He didn't like this feeling of being out of control.

It's easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, not to mention that Zhang's father and daughter get up at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and they have been tossing and tossing non-stop until now. They are already exhausted. They didn't feel it before. Chung, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and he yawned one after another.

Zhang's father and daughter were a little embarrassed. They stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but Ma Tao stopped them: "Anyway, there are no guests coming, so you can just rest here for a while, so you don't have to come here later. Besides, it's so big outside. Sun, you are not afraid of Zhongshu, we are still worried!"

Zhang Xiuqing was not a cowardly person in the first place, so she immediately thanked the two of them.When Shao Han and Ma Tao went out, the father and daughter closed the door and fell asleep. They slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, and did not wake up until the waiter knocked on the door outside.

Zhang Xiuqing opened the door, and the waiter led them to the bathroom. Shao Han had already prepared towels, toothbrush and toothpaste for him. This careful act made Zhang Lingen's impression of him even better.

After Zhang Xiuqing washed up, she went to the kitchen. Shao Han was already there waiting for her. As for Ma Tao, it was said that she had a toothache and went home to rest. Later she learned that the bastard was beaten up because of his Father was blinded by his new hairstyle.

Zhang Xiuqing saw the fierce old lady, and after Shao Han's introduction, she knew that the old lady was just a dish washer, and she had a little relationship with Ma Tao's family.Wu Xiaofei and Wang Hongzhen are chefs, one is good at making home-cooked stir-fries, and the other is good at making pastries.

This is really a typical fox pretending to be powerful. Those who didn't know thought she was a direct relative of the restaurant owner.Zhang Xiuqing didn't want to argue with her because of her age, but the old lady was so frightened that she shyly hid in a corner, and then slipped away against the wall while no one was looking.

Shao Han's eyes were poisonous, and he knew there was a story in it at a glance. Taking advantage of Zhang Xiuqing's time talking with Wu Xiaofei, he called Wang Hongzhen over, and when he asked clearly about Zhang Xiuqing's previous visit but was driven away by the old lady, his face was almost cold The icicles fell off.

Zhang Xiuqing was looking down at the menu.Many people like to eat shrimp, and there are many ways to cook shrimp. However, at this time, there are basically only four kinds of recipes in major restaurants: braised in oil, salted water, salt and pepper, and fried in oil.However, because of its earthy smell, few people eat snails, and basically there is no such dish in restaurants.

After Zhang Xiuqing read the recipe, he asked people to peel bamboo sticks, and also asked people to take out a pack of prawns from the small warehouse, wash them in clean water, drain the water, and put the bamboo sticks through the tails of the shrimps all the way to the bottom of the shrimps. Then pour in salt, cooking wine, rice wine and other seasonings to marinate. After about 10 minutes, put it in a pan and fry it on low heat. After frying until both sides are golden, take it out and put it on a plate. Shrimp and you're done.

Shao Han stretched out his slender and beautiful right hand, picked up a bamboo stick, and tasted it.

Zhang Xiuqing then asked people to wash the pork and chop it into minced meat, scald the snails in boiling water and pick out the snail meat with bamboo sticks, mince the snails and mix them with the minced meat, add salt, monosodium glutamate, rice wine seasoning, mix After mixing well, put it back into the snail shell and cook in the pot. After about 15 minutes, pour sesame oil on it, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and it's ready to go out of the pot.

Shao Han picked up a snail with chopsticks, picked out the meat inside with a bamboo stick, put it in his mouth and ate it.

Zhang Xiuqing hadn't practiced cooking for a long time, and worried that her skills were unfamiliar, she asked, "How does it taste? Is it delicious?"

Shao Han glanced at her blankly, picked up another snail and ate it. When he stretched out his chopsticks for the third time, Zhang Xiuqing felt anxious and blurted out a sentence: "Don't eat any more, you have a stomach problem, eat it." Too much indigestion..."

Shao Han grabbed her wrist suddenly, narrowing his narrow eyes: "How do you know I have a stomach problem?"
