Chapter 348 Hit Where It Hurts
The two of them decided not to argue about it anymore. After everyone arrived, Zhao Xiaojing told everyone about the competition and the changes in the store. The store immediately became a mess again.
"Mirror sister is amazing! If we win first place, will the TV station come to interview our store? I want to let my mom see it!"
"Then I can be on camera too, and I can call my mom too!"
"Come on, you two. The TV station will only interview Sister Mirror! Why are we interviewing you in the store? Sister Mirror, are you sure?"
"Everyone, stop. What if Junior Sister didn't get a ranking? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to say that? And you're all surrounding Junior Sister. Isn't anyone congratulating Sister Geng? This is a promotion! Now, let's congratulate this lady for becoming the store manager!"
"Congratulations to Ms. Geng Mingyan, who does not want to reveal her name, for becoming the store manager!"
"Old Geng, you're awesome! Congratulations on your promotion!" Hou Guihua smiled so hard that her teeth were visible, and immediately started clapping happily.
"Warm applause!" Lu Hongwen shouted, and everyone immediately followed suit with applause.
"How can I feel embarrassed? I am not worthy of this position. Guihua should be the one. Guihua is much better than me..." Geng Mingyan felt embarrassed.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Xiao Zhao recognizes you! You like to worry, so you are the most suitable! Haha..."
"Sister Hou and Sister Geng, both of you are good. Either of you can be the one who deserves the title. Sister Geng is here this time. Next time, when we become bigger and stronger, Sister Hou will also be the one who deserves the title!"
"Yes, next time Sister Hou will be the one too!"
Amid the commotion, Zhao Xiaojing felt a headache again. After waiting for everyone to calm down and get back to their work, Zhao Xiaojing finally had time to talk to Yun Yongyuan and Wan Yuyue alone.
"Brothers and sisters, you are actually eligible to participate in this competition. The official registration channel is also available in the mini program. If you want to go, you can take a few days off in the store."
"I'm not going. Do you want to go?" Wan Yuyue turned her head and asked.
"I don't want to." Yun Yongyuan said.
So concise? So decisive? The words Zhao Xiaojing was about to say were instantly stuck in her mouth.
“It’s pointless for us to go. Instead of wasting time on layers of selection, in the end we can’t even go to the official competition and don’t get to meet the big names, we might as well concentrate on cooking and study what you taught us.” Yun Yongyuan waved his hand coolly.
"You go and study hard. If you have the chance to learn from others, be sure to watch more and then come back to teach us!" Wan Yuyue clenched her fists excitedly.
"..." This time, Zhao Xiaojing completely believed that the two really didn't want to go. She nodded stupidly and turned to walk towards Su Yuchen who was standing at the sink.
Su Yuchen had just explained the matter of hiring waiters to Ouyang Yidan in detail when Ouyang Yidan began to ponder with a frown on his face.
Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen looked at each other and were both puzzled as they looked at Ouyang Yidan who was in deep thought.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say a few days ago that they all wanted to come? Don't they want to come now? Or have they found jobs?" Su Yuchen asked.
"No, they all want to come, but I don't know who to choose!" Ouyang Yidan said frantically.
Zhao Xiaojing was speechless again. Su Yuchen poked Ouyang Yidan's head, "Then think carefully about who has a good personality and works hard! After you've made up your mind, let them come for an interview. I can't guarantee that they will be admitted. They need the mirror to nod."
"Yes! Sister Mirror needs to nod her head!" Ouyang Yidan's eyes lit up. "Then I can just call them all over and let Sister Mirror choose!"
"Do you think you're picking cabbages? Call them all over, how can your sister Mirror refuse!" Su Yuchen looked at Zhao Xiaojing's face with despair, stared at her and tapped Ouyang Yidan's head. "Only two can be called at a time!"
"Well, then I'll let them roll the dice, five at a time, and the ones with the highest number go first!"
"..." Zhao Xiaojing was once again impressed by his amazing brain circuit.
……
At 1pm, the number of guests in the front hall gradually decreased. Su Yuchen pretended to clear the plates and leaned over to whisper to Zhao Xiaojing. "Chef Gu is here and ordered two dishes for them to cook."
Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that Master Gu is really trying to test their skills. He has come up with this idea. I even suggested letting them prepare the staff meal. What did they order?"
"Stir-fried pork liver and spicy and sour shredded potatoes. Let Brother Yuan cook the stir-fried pork liver and Sister Yue cook the spicy and sour shredded potatoes."
"Hiss..." Zhao Xiaojing gasped, "The older you are, the wiser you are. Hit me wherever it hurts!"
"Then I placed the order? Master Gu asked me to talk to you first, and then he would place the order after talking to you. I said I would place the order directly for him."
"You go ahead." Zhao Xiaojing glanced at the two people who were cooking and silently mourned for them in her heart.
"Small portion of fried pork liver and small portion of spicy and sour shredded potatoes for seat 1 and 8." As Su Yuchen fiddled with his phone for a few seconds, the announcer in the kitchen mechanically announced the names of the dishes.
"Brother Yun, you stir-fry the fried pork liver, and Sister Wan, you stir-fry the spicy and sour potato shreds."
"Junior sister, have you finished cooking the order on hand?" Yun Yongyuan turned his head and looked at the receipt menu in front of Zhao Xiaojing's pot.
"Today's training starts so early?" Wan Yuyue looked confused.
"Pfft, humph, cough cough!" Su Yuchen laughed out loud at the two people's puzzled expressions, quickly covered her mouth and pretended to cough, and hurriedly fled the scene that made her laugh. "I'm going to help Sister Geng, call Xiao Wu when the food is ready!"
Zhao Xiaojing nodded, and when she glanced at Su Yuchen's back as he quickly left, she couldn't help but smile. "No, I have other orders on hand. You guys just trade these two, and leave the rest to me."
"Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?" Wan Yuyue looked at Zhao Xiaojing suspiciously, "Could it be that you think your business is too good and you want us to destroy your reputation?"
"Yeah, how about we cook something else and you cook these two dishes?" Yun Yongyuan took the dishes out of the pot and discussed while washing the pot.
"Then what will I do when I go to the competition next month? Are you two just not going to cook dishes that are not good?"
"Didn't we just agree on this this morning? You will lead us for an hour in the afternoon for intensive training this month. Why do you suddenly want to serve the food? What if it's the first time for the guests to come and we mess up? You should do it." Wan Yuyue had already cleaned the pot and was standing in front of the stove in a daze.
After the two decided not to go in the morning, the three of them agreed to practice intensively together before Zhao Xiaojing went to the competition, so that Zhao Xiaojing would not be too busy with the competition to take care of the store.
"Go ahead and fire me. Believe in yourselves." Zhao Xiaojing touched her nose, feeling a little guilty about the sudden change of mind.
But there was nothing they could do, since the one who wanted to trick them was their real master.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing was determined and had even started to cook other dishes, the two had no choice but to look at each other and resigned themselves to starting to heat the oil in the pan.
“Junior sister, come on!” Yun Yongyuan looked at the stove and inexplicably started to act like a middle school student. “Junior sister Jingzi trusts us, and we must not let her down!”
