Vol 2 Chapter 17: Star rating

At the entrance of the hotel, a gray-haired old man looked at the masked sign above his head with confusion.
He just passed by just now, but he smelled a long-lost taste in his nose.
The smell gave him a moment's hesitation, and he also remembered some pictures that he hadn't thought of for a long time.
After hesitating, the old man slowly walked forward, and finally pushed the door open.
Su Qiubai here just called Xia Rongrong and they looked up to see how the Niu Million prepared the things. The smell of that scent in the nose couldn't bear it anymore.
But I remembered a voice behind him.
"Excuse me, is this restaurant not yet open?"
After hearing this, Su Qiubai turned around and saw a very ordinary old man with a smile on his face, very natural.
"Sorry, it's not open yet. Are you planning to eat?"
Su Qiubai smiled subconsciously, then greeted two steps forward and asked.
After hearing this, the old man's face was obviously a little lost.
Seeing his expression and his intention to turn around, Su Qiubai suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Then I thought about it again. Anyway, I would have dinner with Xia Rongrong anyway. It would be nice to have an old man, just to let him taste it.
"Uncle, if you plan to eat, wait for a while. The new store is about to open soon. Try it first?"
Grinning, Su Qiubai shouted at the old man.
The old man, who was a little stunned in his heart, was immediately happy when he heard this, and had no intention of quitting. He came over.
"Then I'm welcome!"
Seeing that he was sitting here, Su Qiubai was stunned. This old man is quite interesting!
What he didn't know was that at this moment a bunch of people were already anxious for this old man!
"Where is Lao Li? Haven't found it?"
In a very luxurious office, a slightly fat middle-aged man looked anxiously at the opposite person and asked.
"I don't know who sent them out yet."
After hearing this, middle-aged people became more anxious.
"Hurry up! Let more people find him, and ask him to come home quickly. Be sure to give us another chance! Hurry up!"
After yelling loudly, the middle-aged man looked out the window as he watched the others leave.
You know, if you can't get the things in Lao's hands, then everything will be completely ruined!
Inside the restaurant, Niu Million was sweating out of the dish with cooked dishes.
"Taste it! Haha it must be delicious, taste it!"
Speaking, the boy had set the plate on the table, and then looked up eagerly.
When I looked up, I found an old man I didn't know.
"Taste a fart, and hurry up to bring out any other food, others will come right away."
Seeing that the old cow was standing still, Su Qiubai quickly pushed him, and then saw the boy grinned and rushed into the kitchen again.
The old man here looked at the vegetables on the table motionlessly. Although it was covered, the smell in his nose made something familiar in his memory appear again.
He didn't notice the change of the elderly. So far, Su Qiubai just felt that this was an ordinary person who planned to have dinner.
Soon, Xia Rongrong and Luo Qing arrived. After entering the door, Su Qiubai greeted them and let them sit down first.
The two were also curious about this old man who didn't know his identity, but Su Qiubai didn't know it either, so he just said hello.
After being seated, Luo Qing looked at her phone again. She had decided to wait for a few bites before leaving quickly, so she deliberately asked her friends to wait again.
As for Xia Rongrong, she was very curious. Seeing Su Qiubai and Niu Million as excited as children, she couldn't help wondering what the taste of this dish would be.
When a few people were silent, the sound of a sports car sounded outside, and soon Xia Xiaomu came in.
Originally Xia Xiaomu had a bitter face and was going to ask his sister what kind of food to eat, but saw Su Qiubai stunned.
"Brother Bai, you too!"
His words made Su Qiubai feel a little depressed. "I said it all. Call me Brother Su. This restaurant is run by a friend of mine. I'll have a taste later!"
"Your friend opened it, so I have to give some advice!"
While smiling, Xia Xiaomu sat next to Xia Rongrong. To say that the boy can laugh now is entirely because of his admiration for Su Qiubai, otherwise he would say hello to his older sister and go back.
By now, all the guests who are coming tonight have arrived, although there is an old man who no one knows.
But don't worry about him, isn't life just fun because of various accidents?
Lao Niu's dish also happened to be ready. After the last one was brought up, he was about to laugh. Su Qiubai glanced back before he went back.
"Everyone taste it and see if our restaurant is hot!"
Talking, everyone at the table sat down.
Then the old cow slowly lifted the lid of a table.
At this moment, the rich fragrance was blowing, and a group of people sitting at the table felt like they were breathing all over the body.
"What's added? Why is it so fragrant?"
Xia Xiaomu was taken aback by himself. He had been pretending to have something to compliment.
But this is really fragrant! And people can't help but want to continue to smell, it seems to be addicted!
"Yeah. What did you add?"
Luo Qing here is also similar to Xia Xiaomu, because of this scent, she actually has a sense of hunger that has not been seen for a long time.
You should know that in the current restaurant, in order to taste the dishes, it is normal to add something like flavor, even flour and oil, so these two people do not hesitate to think that the beef must be added. Something.
Otherwise, how could they never know that a table prepared casually would have such a good smell, and to know that after eating for so many years, the rich aroma has been almost forgotten.
As a result, Niu Million had not spoken yet, and the old man who had been silent suddenly made a noise.
"These dishes don't add any special things, they are just the most common seasonings. This kind of scent is the scent of the ingredients themselves. Only this scent can stimulate the stomach and make people feel hungry. It is not dizzy.
The old man's words came out. Xia Xiaomu and Luo Qing felt unbelievable. Niu Million and Su Qiubai were shocked!
You know, Lao Niu's skills are basically all learned from his dad, even called ancestral, so I certainly won't choose some modern methods.
All the dishes are strictly in accordance with the handed down technique, indeed it is the ordinary seasoning. I didn't expect this ordinary old man could be in a phrase!
"Hurry up and try! The dishes are cold!"
Su Qiubai was looking anxious here. These people were hungry just to talk about chopsticks.
He said that everyone is ready to taste.
Lao Niu made a total of six dishes, completely because Su Qiubai only brought back so much from Liangshan. After all, there are definitely fewer types of dishes in ancient times than now.
In the first course, the big house unexpectedly looked at the plate of braised pork.
no way. It looks like the taste of this dish is the strongest and looks the most attractive.
Slowly, everyone took a sip.
In fact, even at this time, Luo Qing still didn't have much expectation. She usually didn't eat much meat, but today this plate of braised pork made her want to try it, although it was just a small bite.
But at this sip, she stopped her.
It's slippery but not greasy, and the mouth-watering fragrance of Madan is so delicious.
So, while these people were still tasting carefully, Luo Qing was already eating a second bite.
"Slow down! Don't finish it!"
When Xia Xiaomu looked at Luo Qing's movements, he was anxious, and couldn't care to swallow the mouth. Immediately, he put the chopsticks in.
Even Xia Rongrong felt endless aftertastes. When she was about to take another sip, Su Qiubai put a piece in her bowl for her.
The eyes of the two people looked at each other, and they immediately became warm.
The old man here immediately joined the ranks of robberies, and the three almost fought.
It was in this atmosphere that the meal began.
About twenty minutes later, everything on the table was eaten clean.
Xia Xiaomu no longer wanted to go back to play games. Luo Qing, on the other hand, turned off the phone early.
What friends get together! Go to hell!
I want to eat!
Niu Million is probably the happiest person. Although he has said that he has made a few dollars in wholesale medicine in recent years, his interest has never been in it.
When he was young, he told Su Qiubai that his biggest dream was to be a chef and to replace his dad with those honors passed down by the Chinese food industry!
So from beginning to end, he cooked every dish very carefully, and now he sees everyone's satisfaction. Suddenly I felt very happy.
"Brother Niu, I think your restaurant will definitely be the best in the country! It's so delicious! I don't even know that braised pork can be delicious enough to make me want to swallow my tongue!"
Xia Xiaomu leaned on the chair and said these words very sincerely.
"Whatever comes first in the country, it should be the best in the world!"
Luo Qing could not help but turned the plate carefully with chopsticks, adding in his mouth.
"Yeah! Brother Niu, I think that if we continue to develop this way, our restaurant can be rated! Maybe we can get the title of Seven Star Brand!"
Xia Xiaomu seemed to suddenly remember something, and the whole person was excited.
"Do you think the Seven-Star brand is so easy? There are only so many in the country, how many are there in the world? In Qinghe City, only Longquan Villa, a star brand, is only one star, and people have been there for years! I think we can achieve one star by doing another year. "
Su Qiubai was also in a good mood, but he was too vague to hear Xia Xiaomu's words, so he couldn't help but interject.
Like he said. The rating of a brand is a very difficult process. If it can reach seven stars, it represents the top level in the world.
However, it is not easy to reach the Seven Stars. There are only nine Seven Star brands in the world, and Huaxia has almost half of the quota, and there are four Seven Star brands!
Other countries feel depressed about this matter, but they are helpless.
Really want to talk about eating no one has the courage to compete with China.
To make it simple, one packet of hot sticks is enough to solve all the problems of Westerners. If not, then two packets
But at the same time, it also shows how difficult the Seven Star brand is from another aspect, even a star is a very high honor for a restaurant.
So when Su Qiubai heard that Xia Xiaomu said that this hotel could soon reach the seven-star brand. Can't help but interject.
"Well, to be honest, the dishes at Longquan Villa are really delicious, but there is a gap with the level of Brother Niu!"
Xia Xiaomu still refuted.
Originally, Su Qiubai didn't want to continue to argue on this issue, but no one expected the old man who had been silent to speak suddenly.
"This restaurant can reach one star!"
When he said this, Su Qiubai and Xia Rongrong were both in a row.
It ’s not yet open. The old man said that the level can reach one star. It seems that this meal is good!
"Ha ha, look at you, uncle, I agree with you!"
Xia Xiaomu was happy when he heard this, and immediately began to approach the old man.
"But I have a suggestion. I can use this braised pork as a signature dish after opening. In my memory, it seems that I only have eaten such delicious braised pork when I was young. I am very moved."
The old man was talking, then looked at Niu Million, his eyes were full of sincerity.
At this moment, Xia Xiaomu, who wanted to continue talking, felt that he couldn't pick him up. From an old man in his old age, everyone would always be shocked.
"Really, I thought I would never see the glory of Huaxia cuisine reappear in my life. Too many people have forgotten the taste of the food itself. This is the gift that nature has given us. Reflect the deliciousness of the ingredients instead of using so-called chemicals "
Afterwards, the old man said these words in one breath.
Very peaceful and natural, without any pretense, anyone can hear the piety in the tone.
"Young man, you are good. I give you this thing"
Talking, the old man took out a black piece of iron from his body, which looked very simple, and then handed it to Niu Million.
The old cow was a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Originally, he was the same as Su Qiubai, but he felt that this old man should be just an ordinary person, but now that he has heard these words, his previous thoughts are gone.
"Uncle. I don't know if you are"
Su Qiubai and Xia Rongrong both felt that the old man might not be very ordinary, so they couldn't help asking softly.
"I'm just an ordinary person who wants to eat good food. No matter how busy he is, he always wants to find a place to eat quietly and be happy for a while. This is what every chef should do, and also every one. Thank you guys for what the stars really mean. I ’m very happy. "
Talking, the old man stood up with a smile on his face.
"Are you leaving?"
Every word that the old man said made Su Qiubai very agree, so now seeing him stand up and hurriedly asked.
"I should leave, thank you again, but rest assured that I will probably come back soon, and I hope that your shop will be booming."
After the last sentence, the old man came out slowly, and Su Qiubai was refused to send him.
Everyone didn't speak, maybe still thinking about the last few words of this old man.
"Brother Niu, when will our store open?"
Xia Xiaomu broke the silence. With this remark, everyone went back to the next prospect of this hotel.
"After two days. Because we have special channels for purchasing, we need to prepare them in advance, and the daily meals will probably be limited."
After thinking for a while, Su Qiubai said these words.
Although the craftsmanship passed down by the ancestors of Lao Niu is very important, the reason that really stands out for this restaurant is the meat and vegetables brought back from Liangshan.
Su Qiubai said this. Lao Niu nodded his head, even if it is not limited, he is estimated to be too busy.
"Tomorrow I will hold a meeting. This restaurant Xia Group will take a stake. You do n’t need to manage things. In addition, do people in the kitchen need to recruit together?"
How clever Xia Rongrong is, this hearing understands that the biggest problem for this restaurant now is these.
If you haven't tasted the food here before. Maybe she still feels uneasy about rushing into the catering industry, but now she has full confidence!
Not for anything else, even for that plate of braised pork!
Luo Qing next to her words also nodded immediately, even already looking forward to it.
After staying in the city for a long time, I will gradually forget the taste and hunger at home. It seems that I often eat just to cope with it, but after I open this restaurant, I feel happy!
At this point, basically everything is ready!
The brand Niu Million is also in the toast of everyone, and will soon appear in this world for the first time!
On the other side of Longquan Villa, the boss did not fall asleep until midnight, and Lao's silence left, leaving this ten-year-old shop in a panic for a while.
He suddenly regretted that he should not use those cheap meats to cook for ordinary people, but who would have thought that Li Lao, who is a master of the World Food Association, would eat in ordinary people.
Now thinking of the disappointment and dimness of the old man's face, and the last sigh of disqualification from the one-star qualification of Longquan Mountain Villa, he felt remorse.
Now, he can only hope that the rule of having a one-star hotel in every urban area can bring him back to life.
Just then, the phone on the desk rang.
"Boss, Li Lao has issued a notice. Our one-star title has been taken away."
Hearing this voice, the fat boss was completely desperate, but immediately seemed to grab the last life-saving straw and asked, "But shouldn't every urban area have a family and one star? What should we do?"
"He gave it to someone else."
