Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season.
During the Spring Festival, the most lively festival of the year, many people will choose to reunite with their families. The Spring Festival holiday is longer. After a year of hard work, even if it is useless for a year, it is time to take a rest.
Of course, there are still many jobs that cannot be separated from people, and many people choose to celebrate the New Year on the spot. Even though the number of diners at the God of Cooking restaurant has reduced by almost half, it is still full, but it is better to eat than usual.
If you arrive two minutes late, you will definitely not be able to join the queue, but during the Chinese New Year, especially before the third day of the Lunar New Year, you can still queue up to eat delicious meals.
Many people are usually busy with work and can just finish work at 11 o'clock. However, people who need more than ten minutes to rush here usually choose to have a few meals during the Chinese New Year. At this time, according to this schedule, they can definitely do it. Catching up usually only depends on luck and character.
Gu Wei is one of them. He is a railway worker. He has a shift that ends at eleven o'clock. It takes twenty minutes from the train station to Taoxi Road because it is close to the dining area. Generally, It all takes this long, and occasionally you encounter traffic jams, which makes it even longer.
So even if this class is the most likely to eat at the restaurant, Gu Wei has never been there twice. Once he went there, he didn't catch up. What he could get were reservation tickets and dinner tickets, but in the evening he I have to go to work again, but I have never come here to eat during working hours. I have come twice when I occasionally take vacations.
Since last year, Gu Wei has chosen to switch with others during the Spring Festival, and get off work the shift that ends at 11 o'clock, so that he can eat the food from the God of Cooking restaurant.
During the Chinese New Year, you have to be kind to yourself no matter what, and come to the God of Cooking restaurant for two meals. Gu Wei said that this need can be met, and it can be met with a small amount of money from the small coffers.
Of course, the small treasury was established under the supervision of his wife to raise funds for eating in small shops. It is not considered private money. If you have passed the public road, at least you don't have to worry about having durians or keyboards waiting for you if you find out.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm almost there. Look, Taoxi Road is so lively even during the Chinese New Year. How about you there? Why don't you have something good for lunch today?"
Gu Wei took his mobile phone and scanned the bustling scene on Taoxi Road, then turned the camera back to him. He must let his wife remember his handsome face so that he would not be dazzled by the flowers and plants outside.
Secretly and carefully, Gu Wei said that his daughter-in-law is as beautiful as a flower and must be defended.
"Okay, then you go and eat. You have enough money in your own coffers to eat as many meals as you can. You can't add extra." A slightly neutral voice came from over there, it was Gu Wei's wife.
Actually speaking, Gu Wei's wife can fight two Gu Weis without any pressure. It's not that she looks rich and rough, but that Gu Wei's wife is a police officer who specializes in running on the train. Compared with Gu Wei who is stationed in Rongcheng, he The daughter-in-law can travel back and forth between Chengdu and their hometown of Jin Province.
Gu Wei was able to come to the shop to eat this time because his wife had followed the car back to Shanxi Province yesterday. Otherwise, he would have had to cook for his wife. It is said that to capture someone's heart. You have to catch someone's stomach first, and he thinks that his wife chose him because he cooks the best food.
"I don't know when Boss Yuan's place will be able to produce Shanxi cuisine. In this case, I can learn a few more dishes to cook for my wife. I still have to eat the colorful beef tenderloin again today. I should be able to make it after finishing it this time. That’s two points of taste.” Gu Wei muttered.
Gu Wei is not a professional chef. He just wants to make more delicious food for his wife. Therefore, when he has time to come to the shop, there is at least one dish that is relatively simple to make. He can make it by watching Yuan Zhou makes and eats the taste, and it is a very happy thing to restore a little or two of the taste.
Yuan Zhou's one or two points can be compared with the chefs of ordinary restaurants, so it is not considered shabby, and it is still relatively delicious.
Of course, because Gu Wei and his wife are not professional food critics, their scores of one, two, three or four are based on their own judgment standards, which are different from normal standards. There is no need to worry about these details. .
Recently, Gu Wei has chosen the more difficult colorful beef tenderloin, but he has eaten it three or four times. He still did it secretly without telling his wife. He wanted to give her a surprise. He used to learn to cook vegetarian dishes. It was the first meat dish he learned, and it was worthy of commemoration and grand treatment.
When he arrived at the God of Cooking shop, it was almost time to queue up. Gu Wei took a closer look and found that there were only one-third of the usual number of people. He was instantly relieved, as he could indeed eat at this time.
When the queuing time came, Gu Wei worked hard and tried his best to get a better position.
As long as you move fast enough and your posture is cool enough, you can be in the first echelon even if you come one second before the queuing time is up. The premise is that there is no pushing, stepping, etc., otherwise the people from the queuing committee will definitely look for you. Come up.
Even during the Spring Festival, as long as Yuan Zhou is not resting, there will always be people on the queuing committee staying behind. However, this speed-fighting phenomenon can only be done on a small scale, because many people spontaneously queue up and wait there. Then you definitely can’t jump in line again.
"It's lunch time, please let the first eighteen diners in."
Su Ruoyan was on holiday, so this job fell to Yuan Zhou himself, but it was like this every year, and he was very used to it. After that, after everyone entered the store, he started to let people write the menu.
After writing it, I hand it to the kitchen myself. This is a routine operation in a small shop. Now that we are mature diners, we can do many things by ourselves.
Gu Wei didn't get a place in the first echelon because he didn't come very often, only a few times a year. He was not skilled enough and fell into the second echelon. The waiting time was very painful, especially when his wife sent him The pictures were all of the lunch she had for lunch. The familiar flavors of her hometown seemed to be smelling through the screen. She completely followed Wei Wei's instructions to eat something good.
For this reason, his wife also dubbed each picture. It was not about anything else, but how she felt when eating each dish. The words were not very rich, it was just delicious or tender, but for the waiters For Gu Wei, who was hungry outside the shop, this was a great test.
He felt aggrieved because he missed his wife and the food from his hometown, but he didn't say it, Gu Wei felt sad in his heart.
Soon Gu Wei couldn't think about anything else, because it was his turn to enter the restaurant for dinner.
"Huh..."
Exhaling a breath, Gu Wei walked into the store with his head held high and sat down at the last seat at the bar. He first wrote down the colorful beef tenderloin that he must eat today on the paper next to him, and then opened the menu. I plan to write another dish.
