Chapter 60
"Great!" The guys and cooks were immediately surprised. They had worked as guys or cooks for others before they came here, but they had never encountered such a thing as rewards other than wages, so they felt very nervous. Very regretful that I chose this restaurant.

Gu Xiaobei and his two elder brothers also looked at each other and smiled.

"Boss, it's not time for dinner yet, and there are fresh shrimps in the kitchen, so I want to try to make this dish with shrimps and rice stems now." Chen Jiu said excitedly.

Gu Xiaobei thought for a while and said, "Okay, as long as the work is done, you can try it, but you have to study it thoroughly before trying it. After all, fresh shrimp is also very expensive, so you can't just waste it."

"Little boss, don't worry, I have a relative who sells aquatic products. I can ask him to sell them to our restaurant at a price lower than the market price, so that we don't have to worry about the ingredients." Chen Jiu said with a smile on his face.

Gu Xiaobei did not agree to him, but said: "Second brother has always been responsible for purchasing. If your relative's aquatic products are good, you can introduce them to my second brother. If the quality is good, we can place long-term orders with your relative in the future. And buy it at the market price, if the quality is not good, you can’t blame us for not buying it, as a chef, you should also know that the quality of the ingredients has a great impact on the dishes you make.”

"I naturally know this truth. I'm not boasting. The aquatic products sold by my relative are really good. He goes to the lower reaches of the Ziyuan River every day before dawn to fish and sell them on the same day, and the fish and shrimps in the downstream where there are many aquatic plants are very good. Fat, our restaurant will definitely make better dishes if we buy it for cooking." Chen Jiu said while gesticulating, as if he was holding the fish and shrimp in his hand, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Of course there are good ingredients in our restaurant, so of course we won't miss them." Gu Xiaobei turned around and said to Gu Erye who was standing beside him: "Second brother, you can go to see his relatives with Master Chen tomorrow, if you really look like Master Chen If you say so well, book their house."

"Sister, don't worry, your second brother doesn't dare to say that even though he doesn't have good cooking skills and his mind is not as flexible as the third brother, but he has good eyes, he will definitely be able to buy better and better ingredients for the restaurant." Gu Er Wild and confident.

"Of course I know that the second brother has such great skills, so I entrust you with such an important purchase." Gu Xiaobei smiled at Gu Erye, then waved to everyone: "Okay, it's all gone Bar."

"Yes!"

Chen Jiu quickly picked up the piece of paper on which he had copied several recipes, and quickly went into the kitchen to try to make the shrimp and rice stem dish.

The other two guys were also very happy, and they wanted to follow them into the kitchen to have a look. Normally, Gu Xiaobei wouldn't let the guys into the kitchen, but today he saw everyone happy and it wasn't a time when there were too many guests, so he made a special case to let them in for a look. .

Taking advantage of everyone leaving, Gu Xiaobei wanted to say a few more words to the two elder brothers. At this moment, the little black dog in the cage by the door suddenly barked twice: "Wow!"

The three brothers and sisters looked up, and when they saw the person at the door, they were stunned for a moment.

The woman at the door was in her early fifties, wearing a dark blue skirt, and it was Gu Xiaobei's grandmother, Li Shi, who looked at their siblings excitedly.

"Grandma!" Gu Erye yelled out loud, and seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately pursed his lips tightly.

"Hey!" Mrs. Li responded happily, walked quickly to them, touched the head of this one, touched the hand of that one, speechless with excitement.

"I've been sick for a long time and I didn't go out. I didn't know that you came to the city to open a restaurant. Now it's better, and grandma will see you often." A general stiff expression.

"You didn't know it for so long, why did you suddenly know it today?" Gu Xiaobei glanced at her and asked, reaching out to touch the bracelet in his purse, wondering if he should take the bracelet that he didn't have time to drop last time, in person Li's face fell.

"Xiaobei!" Gu Sanlin tugged at her sleeves a little unbearably.

"Third brother, don't pull my sister's sleeves. My sister is right. Don't you think it's strange that grandma, who hasn't appeared for so many years, suddenly appeared today?" Gu Erye was very excited. But try to suppress your emotions.

Mrs. Li wiped away her tears: "At noon today, I heard two servants in my family talk about the cooking competition between you and Zhouji Restaurant, so I realized that you opened a restaurant in the city and blamed grandma for being bad. I have suffered for you all these years. , but you can't fight Xiao Liang, you are cousins."

"Are you mistaken? We never meant to fight him. They have always wanted to fight us and fight against us. Besides, I don't think they regard us as relatives. If you don't believe me, you can ask Your little daughter Bai Rong, but your daughter who dislikes the poor and loves the rich may not see you." Gu Xiaobei said coldly.

Li's eyes were gloomy, and Gu Xiaobei was indeed right. In these years, every time she came home last week, she was ridiculed by her youngest daughter Bai Rong, who scolded her for marrying her eldest daughter Bai He to Gu Changming. She eloped with someone else, which made her unable to marry a better family, and was ridiculed by others.

After such things happened, Li seldom saw Zhou's house anymore, but she couldn't do it if she didn't want Zhou's house. Over the years, the condition of Bai's family has become more and more backward, and Zhou's family has become worse, but it is still better than Zhou's family. The Bai family is much better, and because the Bai family has not yet separated, occasionally when the Bai family is in trouble, she is forced to seek help from the Zhou family. The more times Bai He dislikes her, she always ignores her , and sometimes refused to see her.

Mrs. Li said sadly: "Have you been complaining about grandma? Grandma didn't know that you were so difficult back then, and only later did she know that you had come to Bai's house for help but was stopped by someone. I only found out later."

"Why don't you know? Just think about it and you will know how much better a few children who have lost their parents will be? You may not have known that we were stopped at the time, but didn't you know later? Even if you can't help We should also take a look, right? But you haven’t visited us for ten years, what’s the use of talking about it now that we’ve grown up?” Gu Sanlin said indifferently.

"I know these things. Originally, I thought that your grandparents would take care of you when they were still alive. How could they treat you like that? Why don't I want to see you, but I also have reasons." Li Shiliu With tears.

"What's your reason?" Gu Erye's expression softened slightly.

"Me." Just as Li Shi was about to speak, she suddenly saw someone peeking out from the kitchen, and she immediately refused to speak any more, and said: "I will tell you slowly later, but please don't compare yourself with Xiao Liang again." The chef, I heard that their restaurant has found a royal chef who resigned and returned home, when the time comes to compare, you will definitely lose."

Gu Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, she guessed that Zhouji Restaurant had hired a good chef, but she didn't expect to be an imperial chef, Gu Xiaobei smiled slightly: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, even if we don't want to compare, we can't do it, if we don't compare, we will admit defeat, besides, So what about the royal chef? We may not lose, and you don't have to tell us about your relatives. As long as they don't fight us, we won't take the initiative to fight them. If they offend us, we won't wait for nothing. Bully."
