1924 Pickled vegetables platter
Uncle Xue wasn’t that particular. He casually wiped his hands with a dirty-looking towel and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
“Don’t use disposable chopsticks so often. Didn’t you see the news saying that disposable chopsticks pollute the environment?” Old master Xue lectured.
Director Xue listened to the lecture and watched as old master Xue ate. Old master Xue’s appetite was quite good. Perhaps it was because director Xue had bought lunch for him, so the meat and rice soup were all gone in a short while.
“Alright, you’ve been busy all day. If you have something to do, go do your own thing. Don’t disturb me doing business.” Old master Xue waved his hand, indicating that director Xue could get lost.
“Um … Dad, I’m the president of a company now. If you repair shoes outside instead of resting at home, wouldn’t that make me look unfilial?”
“What, what’s wrong with repairing shoes? You’re the boss because I repaired my shoes. ” Old master Xue immediately blew his beard and glared.
“Yes, yes, yes. This is a traditional craft.” Said CEO Xue.
“Roll, roll, roll,” uncle Xue said.
The father and son of the Xue family had repeated the above conversation many times, but in the end, director Xue didn’t win against old master Xue. In order to make his stubborn old man happy, he even introduced the shoe repair business to his business partners who felt that they needed to repair shoes.
Speaking of which, if director Xue was really afraid of losing face, he would not have done this. It was mainly because he felt that his father had worked hard for most of his life and it was time for him to enjoy it.
Old master Xue watched as director Xue left. Although old master Xue often complained that there were fewer shoe repairmen, he was actually quite happy to see this scene.
This was because, fundamentally speaking, the People’s lives had become better. The days of a pair of shoes being worn by a few brothers had long passed. And the shoemaker could be said to have been left behind by the train of development.
But then again, uncle Xue had been a Shoemaker his whole life. Although he didn’t think of himself as a traditional craft, he was definitely a skilled one.
In any case, uncle Xue’s shoe mending was better than other shoemakers!
Uncle Xue just couldn’t let it go. Besides, there were people at the old lady’s age who would patronize his business. When there was no one else, he should be done for the rest of his life. Uncle Xue was very open-minded.
Speaking of which, Zheng Jiawei didn’t mind the trouble at all. He found a pair of leather shoes with some cracks and carried them to the place mentioned by director Xue.
The place that President Xue had mentioned was very easy to find. There was a shed nearby, and the shoe repair machine was placed near the outside, so people could see it at a glance.
“Sir, please take a look at my shoes and fix them.” Zheng Jiawei directly walked forward and said.
“Young man, let me take a look at it. I promise to fix it for you. It’s an old skill.” Old master Xue said with a smile.
Zheng Jiawei handed the bag to uncle Xue and found a small stool to sit on.
Back at the master chef Restaurant, the lunch was over and Yuan Zhou had already started to move the tools for practicing knife skills outside.
It was rare for the sun to come out in the afternoon and the weather was very good. Yuan Zhou felt that it would be a shame if he didn’t practice his knife skills in such weather.
The speed of Yuan Zhou’s knife skill practice was naturally very fast. Those who were watching the practice also felt that time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a vivid and lifelike animal was formed in Yuan Zhou’s hands.
Taoxi road, which was popular on the internet, was well known. It was said that there was an old woman who specialized in shooting interesting things on Taoxi road. She had already gained more than 500000 followers, especially Yuan Zhou’s sculptures and many coins.
Of course, boss Yuan wasn’t captured on the screen. The bullet screen was filled with “definitely next time.”
“High tech, we are so lucky to be able to see the live version of head chef Yuan’s sculpture.” Xiao Zhang squeezed into the crowd and tiptoed to get a closer look.
“We are indeed lucky.” Engineer Gao was also entranced.
Dressed in old but clean working clothes, they arrived at Taoxi road in a hurry and were immediately attracted by Yuan Zhou’s sculpting.
The two of them were quite lucky to see the tail of Yuan Zhou’s sculpture when they arrived. After watching for about five minutes, it was time for Yuan Zhou to practice sculpting today.
“Let’s quickly line up. We’ll be getting the number tickets soon. ” Seeing Yuan Zhou start to pack his things, Xiao Zhang hurriedly greeted him.
Although he had never been here before, he could find a lot of guides for master chef Restaurant on the internet. Even if little Zhang had to make a last-minute effort, it wouldn’t be a problem.
They arrived very early. Gao Gong and Xiao Zhang were lucky enough to be in the first line. After su Ruoyan said,”the first 16 customers, please come in for a meal”, they entered the master chef Restaurant one after another.
The two of them were at the end of the first echelon, and this was the result of Xiao Zhang’s prompt decision to line up. After all, many customers had come early to see boss Yuan’s sculpture and then lined up for dinner. This was already a very smooth operation.
Therefore, it was definitely because of Xiao Zhang’s cleverness that Xiao Zhang and Gao Gonggong were able to squeeze into the first group.
At the end of the line, the two of them naturally sat at a small table for two.
As soon as he sat down, he saw two thick menus on the table that looked like dictionaries.
“Look at this menu. It’s different from the other restaurants. It’s as thick as a Xinhua dictionary.” Xiao Zhang opened it and read it curiously.
“Master chef restaurant’s reputation isn’t just for show.” Work Gao felt proud for the people of Chengdu.
“What would the two of you like to order?” Su Ruoyan had already finished ordering the food from the customers in front of her.
On Yuan Zhou’s side, he had already started to cook, which immediately attracted the attention of the engineer and little Zhang.
When su Ruoyan came over, the two of them just remembered that they had not ordered their food.
“I’d like a kimchi platter and a serving of plain white rice. Little Zhang, order whatever you want to eat. Don’t stand on ceremony. It’s my treat today.” Gao Gong went straight to his destination. Although he admired Yuan Zhou very much, he still had no appetite.
“Alright,” he said. Xiao Zhang nodded and finally ordered a serving of twice-cooked pork and a serving of rice.
If someone told you to do as you please, and you’re following your leader … How do you want to die?
Su Ruoyan quickly recorded the two people’s menu. After she confirmed that they had transferred the money, she passed the menu to Yuan Zhou.
“This is the first time someone ordered the kimchi platter.” Yuan Zhou received the menu and took a look at engineer Gao and Xiao Zhang curiously before returning to the kitchen.
The kimchi platter was actually very simple. It was just a few kinds of kimchi put on a plate, then a little red oil and water. It was very fast.
Therefore, in less than five minutes, Gao Gong and Xiao Zhang’s orders were served. The first to arrive was the kimchi platter.
The snow-white plate was specially made, and it was evenly divided into a few squares. The middle one was red, which was obviously red oil dipping sauce. The outer squares were used for pickled vegetables, such as pickled radish, pickled cabbage, pickled cowpea, pickled mustard, and garlic. There were exactly six kinds of vegetables.
“It smells really good.” Engineer Gao took a deep breath, and a sweet and sour taste rushed into his nose.
Her originally irritable mood was cleared, and saliva began to secrete from her bland and tasteless mouth. It was really an appetizing feeling.
