Chapter 235: Exploring the Store, the Kitchen, and Two Faces
Da Zhuang and Li Zi are both in Jiangcheng, so it is more convenient for them to meet. So they tried it out first and produced a joint store exploration video, which received good responses.
It just so happened that the two of them had long been craving for a food stall and roadside fried skewers, as well as the popular milk smoothie in Guo Gaoang's store exploration video, so they agreed to give Guo Gaoang a surprise, and the two of them secretly went to Yangcheng.
After arriving in Yangcheng and meeting Guo Gaoang, they realized that the fried skewers and the milk shaved ice were from the same restaurant, and that the boss had already left Yangcheng and went to Jiangcheng, which they had just left!
They did get to eat at the food stall, but they both felt very regretful that they did not inquire about the fried skewers and milk smoothie in advance in order to surprise Guo Gaoang.
After playing in Jiangcheng for two days and shooting a few videos together, the three of them asked Guo Gaoang to come to Jiangcheng to have a look. Firstly, Yangcheng is still too small, and there is too little room for development if the three of them work together. Secondly, the boss of the fried skewers and milk smoothie is in Jiangcheng, so it was a good opportunity to bring Guo Gaoang over to show the way.
Guo Gaoang had already felt the limitations of Yangcheng's development, and had been thinking about ways to break the impasse during this period. When he happened to meet Dazhuang and Lizi, Guo Gaoang was immediately persuaded, and the three of them came to Jiangcheng together again.
I originally wanted to contact Zhao Xiaojing and the others when I arrived, but Li Zi had not completed a store exploration mission submitted by fans.
The v v i p fan submitted a post about a restaurant that had a hot pot. He heard from somewhere that Wu Lesheng had eaten there, but he lived far away and it was inconvenient for him to go. So he wanted to eat there first, so he asked Li Zi to eat it for him.
v v i p has been giving coins to Li Zi for half a month. Every day when Li Zi sees the rewards flowing in, he would remember the store exploration task he still owes him. Under mental pressure, he took two people with him and drove for an hour to this restaurant.
Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the door, I would see Su Yuchen wearing an apron. A magical thing happened. It turned out that the Gai Liao restaurant was opened by Zhao Xiaojing and her friends.
Guo Gaoang got used to the shock quickly, but Da Zhuang and Li Zi couldn't calm down for a long time. It turned out that the milk smoothie, fried skewers, and rice were all owned by the same boss. They went from Jiangcheng to Yangcheng in vain, but in the end they couldn't find the one. If they had known earlier, they should have completed the fan mission first!
Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen looked at each other and laughed secretly. Guo Gaoang was the only one telling the story, but as time went on, it became a three-person show, one telling the story, one supplementing the story, and the other supporting the story, all with the same excitement. It seems that their cooperation is really in sync, and the atmosphere of interaction and teasing between friends is full.
"Student Zhao, we were so excited just now that we questioned Guo Gaoang. Now that the food is here, we are busy eating. We still have to make up some shots. Is it convenient for us to go into the kitchen to shoot the cooking tonight?" Da Zhuang asked expectantly. "Don't worry, I will go in alone and will not interfere with your cooking!"
Zhao Xiaojing smiled and glanced at the pile of equipment in front of him. "Okay, but you have to wash your hands, disinfect the equipment, and put on our chef uniforms."
Da Zhuang nodded immediately.
As they were talking, the staff meal was ready. Wan Yuyue and several other employees brought the dishes out from the kitchen and placed them on the large table next to Guo Gaoang. Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen sat over, served themselves the rice, and continued chatting with Guo Gaoang and the other two while eating.
"How many days do you plan to stay in Jiangcheng? Or do you plan to develop in Jiangcheng?"
"Stay for a few days first and cut out the video of the three of us exploring stores in Yangcheng to see the effect. If it works, we will officially become partners and see how to do it then." Guo Gaoang answered while looking at the table of Zhao Xiaojing and the others with interest.
"Your staff meals are so good! Are you still hiring? How about I be the dishwasher?"
"Okay, for you, just 2 a month, and the rest of the money will be used to buy broken plates." Su Yuchen joked.
"Student Zhao, can I take a picture of you eating?" Da Zhuang asked expectantly, staring at the dishes on the table.
"Da Zhuang's videos are great. He not only takes pictures of delicious food, but also the customers eating in the store, the boss cooking, the employees eating, and the reactions of passers-by. His camera language is great, and the result is simply a work of art. You just eat normally and don't pay any attention to him." Guo Gaoang helped Da Zhuang explain.
"Okay, let's take pictures." Zhao Xiaojing nodded and watched Dazhuang quickly turn on the equipment, take pictures of a few people, and then concentrate on debugging. Guo Gaoang and Li Zi also came over. The three of them discussed and fiddled with it for a long time before Dazhuang raised the equipment again.
Guo Gaoang and Li Zi immediately stood away with a bunch of things in their hands. Da Zhuang walked around the table, concentrating on recording Zhao Xiaojing and the others' ordinary mealtime routine from every angle.
Several people were not affected. After everyone at the table nimbly finished two bowls of rice each, all the rice and dishes were gone, and Dazhuang put away the equipment in time.
Seeing this, Guo Gaoang and the other man also stood up, asked Zhao Xiaojing for a time in the evening when there were relatively fewer people, and ordered three meals, a braised pot of side dishes, and fried chicken steaks. After agreeing to come back in the evening, they left happily.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the three of them arrived at the store in advance and did not rush to order food. Instead, they cooperated with Da Zhuang and took pictures from various angles. They came to the store in the night with their necks hunched and their ears covered. Then, they took off their scarves and hats in the aroma of steaming hot food, ate in a relaxed manner, and chatted with the crowd with their hearts open.
After the filming, Da Zhuang washed his hands and disinfected them thoroughly as agreed, put on his chef's uniform, and carefully entered the kitchen.
Zhao Xiaojing was shaking the wok with the serious expression that Yun Yongyuan and Wan Yuyue were familiar with, stir-frying the vegetables a few times and covering the rice.
After a dish was out of the pot, he habitually looked at Wan Yuyue's cooking, then continued with a stern face and uttered two short words.
"Redo it."
Wan Yuyue pursed her lips guiltily, and nodded immediately like a chick pecking at rice. She quickly threw away the dishes, washed the pot, and then started all over again.
Da Zhuang, who was standing by, was busy holding up the camera and taking a close-up of the dish that had been thrown away and looked OK. He sighed in his heart that the boss had a strong sense of contrast. He looked completely different from the friendly face he had at noon. This contrast must be included in the edit! He was a little nervous unconsciously, fearing that he would get in the way. The next second, Zhao Xiaojing also frowned and told him to get out.
Just when I was feeling nervous, I saw Zhao Xiaojing clean the pot neatly, boil it over high heat until it was dry, pour in a spoonful of oil, then turn down the heat to medium, add the auxiliary ingredients, turn up the heat again, pour in a spoonful of soy sauce, flip the pan a few times, stir-fry over high heat, then turn down the heat and serve.
As soon as the dishes were placed on the rice, before the rich hot steam had time to emit, a tall and strong waiter immediately put the rice on a tray and took it out.
When I turned around again, Zhao Xiaojing had already started cooking the next dish.
Da Zhuang unconsciously put down his handheld camera and stared blankly at the person stirring the wok over a raging flame across the stove.
