Chapter 56 Don't worry, I have a secret recipe

"From today on, our team is established. Follow me and work hard. If business is good, I will not treat you unfairly."

"I understand, Brother Jiang."

Lin Jiang nodded, thinking that the pie he had drawn should taste pretty good.

If they can even fool them, wouldn't it be easy to cheat college students?
"Deal with the things on hand first, and then come back to work." Lin Jiang looked at Yang Tao and said.

"Brother, I only have your job today, otherwise why do you say that the income is low and unstable."

"Okay then, pack up your tools and follow me to the kitchen."

"okay."

After Zhang Guofu left, the job of cooking noodles fell on Lin Jiang.

But it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

When Yang Tao came, the job fell on him.

I have to say that Yang Tao's foundation is indeed good.

His technique of kneading dough was very professional. Even though he was doing the job of installing surveillance cameras, he did not lose his skills and he quickly got them back.

The cooked noodles are just the right softness and hardness, and taste very good. Just based on the craftsmanship, they are worth 4000 yuan.

He already has a good foundation, and if I teach him how to make soup, he will probably be able to do it on his own soon.

However, Lin Jiang also discovered one thing, that is, his skills in kneading noodles and making soup seemed to have improved a little bit.

Is this the benefit of increased understanding?

Before I knew it, it was already past two in the afternoon and there were fewer people in the store.

Yang Tao has completely mastered the skill and can do a good job without Lin Jiang's supervision.

"Brother Jiang, something happened to Brother Jiang."

Li Yuanyuan ran back in shock, "I just saw Zhang Guofu working at Chunhe Noodle House. We've been poached."

"normal."

Lin Jiang had already guessed this possibility.

If he hadn't found a new job in advance, he wouldn't have left without saying goodbye. After all, he had worked for more than a week and I had to pay him.

Now he doesn't even want the salary, there must be other reasons.

"There are so many bad guys in this city. We are so simple-minded that we can't beat them," said Li Yuanyuan.

"You mean I'm cunning?"

"I feel like you have 800 minds. If you use them on me, I'll have to help you count the money after you sell me. City people are really scary."

Lin Jiang took out a hundred-dollar bill from the cash register.

"Go get some ice cream."

"You city people are really kind-hearted. Brother Jiang, I want to eat two."

Li Yuanyuan took the money and happily went to buy ice cream.

Not far away from the Chunhe Noodle House, Zhou Chengrong was sitting at the door, looking at the happy Li Yuanyuan with an extremely ugly expression.

This morning, Lin Jiang's business was still booming. There were only a few customers in his store, two of whom were from other places.

The online platform was also taken down due to complaints, and business has not improved at all.

Zhou Chengrong returned to the store angrily.

"Master Zhang, what's going on? Why is your business still so shabby?"

"The main reason is that I just arrived. It will take a few days for the reputation to spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred before it can spread," said Zhang Guofu.

"That's not what I'm talking about. It's that the noodles you made don't taste the same as before. I hope you can give me an explanation."

“That’s what I did in their store.”

“But why does it taste different?”

Zhang Guofu didn't know how to refute, because he also tasted the noodles he made and the taste was indeed different.

All procedures were carried out according to the previous process, and he didn't understand why there was such a big gap.

Could it be because of those Chinese herbs? "I know what's going on! He has his own special formula, so the taste is quite unique, but don't worry, I have learned it from him."

"Are you sure it will work?" Zhou Chengrong was skeptical.

"It must be useful. I'll go buy it now."

This kind of thing involves confidential information and naturally cannot be left to others.

Zhang Guofu untied his apron and prepared to go to Xu Lin's shop to buy the Chinese medicine formula.

But Xu Lin was not there, and the female clerk was watching over it.

"I want these medicines. Just help me get them according to the weight listed above."

Zhang Guofu handed over a photo of the recipe.

The female clerk took a look and said, "Is the baby here? Feel the pulse first and then prescribe medicine."

"Child? I'm using it myself. What does it have to do with the child? Hurry up and grab it." Zhang Guofu said impatiently.

"Uh... ok."

The female clerk didn't want to make trouble for herself, so she quietly prepared medicine for Zhang Guofu.

After finishing, I paid the money and left with the medicine.

Looking at Zhang Guofu's back as he left, the female clerk muttered something.

"This is the first time I've seen a man with menstrual cramps..."

Zhang Guofu returned to the store in a hurry.

"Are you sure it will work if you add these Chinese medicines?" Zhou Chengrong asked.

"Many soup bases are seasoned with Chinese herbs. I saw this by chance from him. Just add these things in and it'll be good."

Zhang Guofu returned to the kitchen and put a day's dose of Chinese medicine into the soup base according to the instructions on the list, and boiled it again for another hour.

"Okay, try it and see if it tastes better?"

Zhou Chengrong and his wife came over and took a mouthful with a spoon.

Found that the taste did change, but not yet to the expected taste.

“It seems to be a little bit off.”

"The problem lies in the ingredients. Let's buy a few old chickens tomorrow. The beef bones must be fresh, not frozen," said Zhang Guofu.
"These are the ingredients they use at home, so you can't skimp on them. As long as the ingredients are fresh and you cook them for a little longer, so that the flavors can fully blend and stimulate each other, the taste will naturally be different."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was so worried about no business in the morning."

"This is a trade secret after all, and I didn't know if it was accurate. Now that I see it, I guessed it right."

Zhang Guofu lit a cigarette and said confidently:

"Don't worry, you two. I will never let you down since you have been paid so high a salary. In a week at most, I can take all their customers away."

"I've been waiting for your words!"

"Stop talking for now, there are guests coming."

……

Before I knew it, I was busy until after eight o'clock in the evening.

Although Zhang Guofu's departure made the store a little chaotic, fortunately, he met Yang Tao and quickly adapted to the job, so Lin Jiang didn't worry too much.

Just as I was packing up and getting ready to close the store, I suddenly heard shouting outside.

Li Yuanyuan was very curious, so she opened the door to watch the fun, and the noise became clearer.

"Comrade police, this is their restaurant. There must be something wrong with the food they sell. My daughter and son ate their noodles and came back home with vomiting and diarrhea. The ingredients must be stale."

A middle-aged woman stood next to the police, shouting loudly.

"I vomited too. Look how pale my face is. I am about to vomit bile."

This time it was a young woman who spoke, holding her stomach and looking very weak.

Li Yuanyuan looked at Lin Jiang excitedly, "Brother Jiang, come and take a look. Something happened at Chunhe Noodle House. The police are here."
