Although the lawsuit is not over yet, the Mo family is really relieved. Next, the news that Mo Shaoqing was admitted to a key high school in this city brought some comfort to the family.
Y City Senior High School is one of the top high schools in the local area. There are physical education classes, art classes, music classes, international classes and normal arts and science classes. Mo Shaoqing had gone through the college entrance examination in his previous life, and his grades were very good, so he was not worried at all about not being able to get into a key university.
But the three years of high school were really hard work. He has no ambitions in this life. He has his own plan, so he doesn't want to waste any time. He doesn't want to study those popular majors, find a job that he doesn't like at all, and make money to support himself. In this life, he has a family and has support, so he wants to live a little easier.
When filling out the application form, Mo Shaoqing carefully expressed his opinion to his parents.
"Have you really decided? You're going to apply for the music class in the future!" Mo Shaoqing told his family about his thoughts. He didn't expect to get the approval of his parents all at once. It's normal for Mo's mother to object.
"But learning music is very hard, and there is no way out. Your piano level is not top-notch. It is difficult to participate in international performances and become a performer or something. Moreover, learning piano in China is definitely not as good as abroad, but Bates like this You can't get into the famous piano school!" Mo's mother was in a hurry, as if Mo Shaoqing was already preparing to fill in the college entrance examination at this moment!
Mo Shaoqing comforted his anxious mother, "Yes, parents, brother, I have always wanted to do something I like, piano is one of them, and I also want to open a restaurant." That's right, after having space, he There is a vague plan in my mind. And with the addition of vegetables in space, his restaurant will definitely be very popular. He believes that he can make a lot of money to repay his parents and brother.
"You see, the economy is getting better and better now, and there are many foreign restaurants around us, such as KFC Pizza Hut and McDonald's. No one ate these before, but now they are full of people and have to queue. It is enough to prove that everyone is more and more willing. Spend money on food."
Looking at the thoughtful look of his family, Mo Shaoqing continued: "Also, didn't our family go to western restaurants to eat before? Mom, you said you like creamy mushroom soup. My brother said he wanted to eat pizza, but they didn't have it." , Dad still thinks that the steak is not cooked, so he must eat something else. Then why can’t we open a restaurant that gathers all kinds of food? If you like Chinese food, you can eat Chinese food, if you like Western food, you can eat Western food? Don’t think that Chinese food is the kind of An electric fan, it only costs tens of dollars to order three or four dishes, a small restaurant or a high-end hotel where you can listen to the table game next door and drink alcohol. What I want to open is a real restaurant, cooking real dishes, no matter what you eat, You can listen to piano music and enjoy delicious food in a clean environment.”
Mo's father and Mo's mother thought their son was just a whim, but they didn't expect him to be able to say so many thoughts. The two of them didn't know what to say for a while. "It doesn't sound so unreliable. My son is amazing, and he speaks the truth." Mo's mother has always had a rich imagination. After listening to her son's words, she can't help but feel a little fanciful.
"Oh, don't say a few words, don't you forget what our purpose is?" Father Mo glared at his wife speechlessly, and got a blank stare.
"Shaoqing, our family has gone through this incident. Mom and Dad know that you have grown up. You told us that you have really thought about it. But the road of music is really difficult, and opening a restaurant is not as easy as you imagined. How about this, on weekends, Dad will take you to a friend’s restaurant.” Seeing his son’s determination and his wife’s persuasion, Mo’s father didn’t intend to persuade him, but just let him see the difficulty of opening a restaurant. It was Mo's father's plan to retreat despite difficulties.
Early the next morning, Mo Shaoqing entered the space and came out with some vegetables. I went to the vegetable market to buy some beef, and then went to the restaurant opened by his friend with my father for dinner.
"Let's go to dinner, what food do you bring? Dad treats you today!"
"What about these dishes? They have their uses, and you'll know when the time comes!" Mo Shaoqing winked at Father Mo as a trick.
The father and father were discussing while walking, and Mo Shaoqing almost persuaded Mo's father with his perfect tongue, "You boy, your mouth is getting stronger and stronger, no wonder your mother is persuaded by you!"
"It's not that you are spoiling me!" Mo Shaoqing said proudly, saying that Father Mo could not refute.
The destination is a small roadside restaurant. Father Mo explained: "Don't underestimate the taste of this restaurant." After speaking, he gave a thumbs up, "The most important thing in a restaurant is the taste, only the gorgeous decoration , atmosphere, the food is not delicious, only fools spend money, of course, apart from young couples who are in love, there are also rich people who like to throw money. Those people will not enjoy the food.”
"Old Qin, Lao Qin, I brought my son here." Called several times, but there was no response, Father Mo muttered a few words, and led them directly to the back kitchen.
Hey, good guy, it's only eight o'clock in the morning, and the back kitchen is already in full swing. Father Mo's eyes signaled his son to watch, and then he went to chat with his old friend. I don't know what the two of them said. After a while, Mo's father brought a plate of spicy fried clams.
"Come on, try your Uncle Qin's cooking. The signature dish you must make every day: stir-fried clams with scallions and ginger." Mo Shaoqing took the chopsticks and directly put a clam in his mouth.
The first reaction is the savory taste of fried onion and ginger, and then the aftertaste is spicy. The clam juice splashes directly into the mouth, which makes people want to stop.
Seeing his son eating with gusto, Mo's father said from the side, "Your Uncle Qin has been cooking for more than 20 years, and has been running this restaurant for more than ten years. They cook two meals a day, and get up at four o'clock in the morning. If there is no delay, then go to the vegetable market to buy the freshest vegetables, come back and make preparations until after nine o'clock, and then the customers welcome the door, and the dishes will be washed at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the dinner preparation will not be finished until nine o'clock. I have to prepare for the next day. My son, this job is very hard..." Barabara said a lot.
After Mo Shaoqing finished eating and touched his mouth, he turned his attention to Father Mo's speech. Then he pretended to be innocent and said: "But, I am the owner of the restaurant, so I can hire others. Do I need to do the grocery shopping and washing myself?"
KO, Mo's father didn't know what to say, if what he said was wrong, he was right, all right, and also wrong.
"Hahahaha," Mo Shaoqing immediately rescued his father when he saw that he had nothing to say, "I didn't say I can't cook!" Then, before Mo's father could react, he went to the kitchen to borrow a pot up.
After all, when we first came here, everyone saw that this was the son of the boss's friend, so they didn't stop him and gave Mo Shaoqing a seat. When Mo's father came to his senses, Mo Shaoqing was already skillfully chopping vegetables when he came to the back kitchen. A group of people thought it was interesting for a young man to cook, and they all came to watch.
Mo Shaoqing skillfully cut the beef, picked off the film, and cut it into strips. Then take out the double peppers and cut them into strips, turn on the fire and put oil, add beef and stir-fry until the color changes, remove, then add green onion, garlic and double peppers, stir-fry until fragrant, add meat and season with salt, continue to stir-fry, and then take it out of the pan. Mo's father was in a dazed state throughout the whole process, why didn't he know when his youngest son would be able to cook!
In the end, this job can only be handed over to the boss and the chef to taste, "The beef is slightly old, but the seasoning is excellent, but this side dish is not ordinary, Lao Mo, your son is very talented in cooking. Are you not interested in letting him come to study with me?"
"Fuck you, my son is a brilliant student in the future." Father Mo responded with a smile and scolded, then picked up the chopsticks and tasted it carefully. Compared with so many delicacies he has eaten, maybe what Mo Shaoqing cooks is not the best, but the surprise at the moment of entrance still surprised Mo's father. Is it really like what an old friend said, his son has a talent for cooking ? Then other interested employees came forward to taste it one after another, but pushed Mo's father out of the circle.
On the way back, Father Mo still couldn't believe it, and kept asking Mo Shaoqing when he would be able to cook in different ways. He didn't know that Mo Shaoqing was self-taught when he lived alone in his previous life. However, Mo Shaoqing had already responded, and he responded one by one, which made it impossible for people to make mistakes.
After returning home, Mo's father informed the whole family of the "shocking" news. Under the suspicious eyes of Mo's mother and Mo's brother, Mo Shaoqing only had to perform again, the practice of shredded beef with double pepper. After tasting Mo Shaoqing's dishes, everyone was finally convinced.
"My son is so smart, how can he know everything?" Mother Mo praised.
"I didn't expect my younger brother to be able to cook. It would be a pity not to open a restaurant with this skill!" Mo Shaohong said in a down-to-earth manner. In his eyes, his younger brother is the best.
In fact, Mo Shaoqing knows his own level, that is, the level of home-cooked food. Everyone thinks that he cooks so well because of the encouragement of his family and the vegetables produced by the space.
"But, what's the use of knowing how to cook? Where does the money to open the restaurant come from? I won't lend it to you." Father Mo continued to wonder. Mo's mother and brother Mo also looked at Mo Shaoqing with great interest to see how he would answer.
"Don't worry about this. After I go to university, I will go to work. I can go to a western restaurant or a Chinese restaurant to learn art or go to a restaurant to play the piano to make money. To tell you the truth, I actually have a small part-time job to make a little money, but I won't Let me tell you." Mo Shaoqing also made a fool of himself.
Seeing his son's excited appearance, Mo's father and Mo's mother couldn't bear to hit his son. Anyway, he only chooses a class in the second year of high school, so I promise him first. In the end, Mo's parents made three agreements with Mo Shaoqing: first, Mo Shaoqing must not regret all the decisions he made, and second, regardless of whether he opened a restaurant, Mo Shaoqing must study hard in high school and do his best in the college entrance examination. Finally, the matter of opening a restaurant must wait until the university is about to graduate before it can be implemented.
Mo Shaoqing naturally agreed to all of them. Anyway, there is still a year to go. He is confident that he can convince his parents, and it will not affect his plan. Maybe it's because the trajectory of his life is completely different from his previous life. Even if he doesn't know whether he will succeed or fail in the future, he doesn't want to be restrained and wants to give it a go.
