Tang Jinyu and Guo Xiaohu delivered courier together all afternoon. They had a lot of people and the delivery was fast, but the money they got was not much. A few cents per item saved a hundred and ten yuan.
Tang Jinyu counted and put the money in her pocket, "I'll take it first, and put it at Xingxing together in the evening, and let her keep it centrally."
The people around agreed. Tang Jinyu asked a few people far away from home to go back first. She called her home and said that she would eat out and go back later.
After Guo Xiaohu heard this, he didn't rush to leave. He stood aside and asked, "Xiaoyu, where are you going?"
Tang Jinyu said: "Yesterday my mother said that there is a vegetarian restaurant."
Guo Xiaohu stammered: "I'll come with you, I also like to be vegetarian, I'll invite you to eat..."
Tang Jinyu laughed and nodded, "I'll invite you to eat buns, but you may have to do some work after eating, okay?"
Guo Xiaohu immediately said yes, very excited.
Tang Jinyu took him to a vegetarian restaurant on Ronghua Road. The decoration was high-end and elegant. The waiter wore a uniform cheongsam and served dishes like water. Just looking at the service attitude was enough to please the eyes. However, the price is indeed expensive. There are only 5 golden silk flower rolls in a small basket, and the asking price is more than 20 yuan. The steamed buns that Guo Xiaohu bought yesterday were only 2 cents a piece. According to the current price, this place is definitely a high consumption.
The decoration of the lobby is also good. There are several private rooms upstairs, and there are less than ten tables downstairs. Now there are about half of the guests sitting, and people are coming over one after another. It seems that the business is OK.
Guo Xiaohu's family is rich, but they are also poor. He has eaten a box lunch for a few yuan in a thousand-dollar hotel. Usually, it costs more to buy sneakers and brand-name sportswear. I have been to such restaurants before. , Usually nothing, but now he really doesn't have any money in his pocket, and he was a little cramped for a while.
Tang Jinyu didn't stay in the hall, and took him through the small door directly to the back kitchen.
The master at the back kitchen was setting the plate. After he was done, he saw him and smiled, "Xiao Tang, right? It's just right, I'll finish it right away."
Tang Jinyu smiled and waited while talking to the master. He could say a word or two about everything, which made the master feel better.
The master wiped his hands, came over and asked, "Do you know how to make xiao long bao?"
Tang Jinyu said, "Yes, I've practiced since I was a child, and I've gotten good at it. That's what I'm good at."
The master said: "Okay, come with me and try to pack a few. Our buns sell well at night. Let's pack a few big ones first, and I'll see your craftsmanship."
Guo Xiaohu listened to the fog, leaned a little closer and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you practice the piano since you were a child?"
Tang Jinyu raised her hand and waved it in front of him, and lowered her voice: "Proper packaging, it's all about the work anyway, don't worry, I really know how."
Guo Xiaohu was full of doubts, he had never heard that Tang Jinyu could cook.
Tang Jinyu followed the master, changed her apron, washed her hands, and sat there, wrapping a row of buns in one go.
He moves too fast, the stuffing of the big buns is soft on many sides, which is actually not that difficult, but the pleats at the pinch are more clear, the master is deliberately trying to see how good his craftsmanship is. , "Yo, you've really practiced this since you were a child. You're quite skilled. The pleats are well done, and the closing is neat, so let's do it today... Is your classmate the one who went to work and study with you?"
Guo Xiaohu didn't know what to say, and Tang Jinyu said for him, "No, he's here to help, Master, don't worry, I'll take him with me, and I'll learn it in a few days."
The master patted Guo Xiaohu's arm, pinched it twice, and said, "I see that his tendons are so sturdy, he doesn't look like a work-study student, haha!"
Guo Xiaohu blushed. He is usually well nourished and is indeed strong.
Tang Jinyu was sitting on the steamed bun. He moved quickly and had a sweet mouth. After a while, the master asked him to make the xiaolongbao. They belonged to the dim sum category, and they had to be made more delicately. Of course, they gave more money. It is to pay cash on the same day, and also manage a meal.
Tang Jinyu asked the secretary from Chen Suling's side and asked the secretary to introduce him. He didn't say who he was, but only said that he was a work-study student. He wanted to explore the way for Xiaoji, and the job here was relatively easier. Some of them even pack a meal, work for more than three hours, and have time to take care of their family members and self-study at night.
He thought very carefully, and arranged the route. After crossing this street and walking for a while, it was the school. Hurry up and do not delay the class.
Guo Xiaohu tried all his strength, but he couldn't squeeze the buns. He didn't dare to try again. He turned around to help the chef in the back kitchen to carry the dishes a few times, and even carried two bags of rice.
When he came back, Tang Jinyu was already familiar with the people around him.
"Xiao Tang, you pinch it backwards, right, right, the most famous one here is this tofu bun, which is buckled on the cage and steamed, and the flavor is different from the others."
"Master, is that so?"
"Okay, it's done once, and there's no leakage at all!"
"It's the master who has a good face. At first glance, it's white and soft. It can be filled with as many fillings as you want. I will definitely learn more from you when I look back. This unique craft cannot be lost."
The master was held at ease, and within half an hour, the two of them had already begun to chat with each other.
Tang Jinyu told him about Xiaoji, but it caused the master to sigh: "I said what are you doing when you came out to work at such a young age, so it is. In the early years, our generation ran around thinking about it. It's not easy to eat a meal. My skills are slowly honed. I didn't have the opportunity to study before, and I came out to work alone on the 14th or 15th. I heard that your classmate is also an honest child. In this way, you let him come Let's go." The master thought for a while, and then added, "The two hours of work in the morning and evening, I will do the same as you, I will provide him with two meals, and the salary will be as I told you. It is not a month. Give him 1500 yuan. If he is late, he will deduct points. If he works too much, I will give him more points. Not much. The tuition fee is enough. Let's try it out for a few months. Row!"
Tang Jinyu was very happy, nodded and said, "Hey, I'll bring him over tomorrow, thank you!"
The master smiled, he was not busy at the moment, he instructed Tang Jinyu how to mix the stuffing, the old and the young had a great conversation, and the master's secret recipe was revealed a little bit, and he talked about a tail. Then he hurriedly stopped, coughed a few times, and swayed away with his hands behind his back.
Tang Jinyu sat there and continued to squeeze the xiaolongbao. The movements were very fast. The master was not here, but there were others. He had the best smile, and was clean and refreshing. It will be mixed with the kitchen.
Guo Xiaohu was stunned when he came back to see the dishes, and felt that his old classmate was a bit powerful.
This is a lot of work, not only did things get done, but also a lot of little gossip about the chef.
Tang Jinyu was busy for two hours and confiscated the master's money. He smiled and said, "I'm just here to practice my hands in advance. You can also see if we can make it or not. After agreeing that we won't charge the money for the first day, you can take care of one meal. to make."
The master felt that this child was too real, and liked it a little more in his heart, so he had people pack two boxes of buns for them to take, both of which were the signature tofu buns, and the two boxes caught up with the weight of several small cages.
Tang Jinyu divided Guo Xiaohu and said, "You are tired, here, please."
Guo Xiaohu took one over and put it in his mouth. The tofu bun was a little hot, not the thin-skinned buns in the south, but the ones in the north with a particularly soft outer skin. The aroma of wheat was very strong, and the bite was a little sweet, and you could eat the stuffing. I never thought that it was a vegetarian bun. The tofu, fresh mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots were mixed together. Guo Xiaohu swallowed it in his mouth, couldn't help but took another bite, while he was eating, he sucked his nose forcefully. Out.
He ate five in one go, and grabbed one to chew on, "Xiaoyu, this one you made is so delicious."
"That's right, the stuffing made by the master is good. I've learned about it. I'll come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Tang Jinyu also ate three or four times, licking her fingers, thinking that his brother would definitely like to eat this, go back I can make it for my brother.
Guo Xiaohu suddenly choked, turned his head and coughed for a while, Tang Jinyu was startled: "Are you alright?"
Guo Xiaohu waved his hand and didn't dare to look back at him. After a while, he turned his head blushing, avoiding his fingers, and said vaguely, "It's okay, it's okay, I just ate too fast... I choked."
Tang Jinyu went to buy him a bottle of water. Guo Xiaohu now knew that he was frugal, so he didn't want to drink it by himself, so he pushed him: "You take two sips first, and I'll drink the rest."
Tang Jinyu was amused: "No, you drink it, I'll go home in a while."
Guo Xiaohu still refused, and pushed him over to let him take the first sip. When the two of them were going back and forth, they heard the sound of a car horn on the side of the road. It beeped twice, and it was very fast. The owner of the car is in a bad temper now.
Guo Xiaohu gave way. He was already standing on the sidewalk. The car parked closer. Before he could push the water to Tang Jinyu, the car honked twice. This time the window They were all put down. The faces of the people in the driver's seat were so black that they turned to look at them and said coldly, "Xiaoyu, why didn't you answer the call just now?"
Tang Jinyu blinked, and was immediately pleasantly surprised. She ignored Guo Xiaohu and ran over to bend over and said, "Brother, why are you here?"
Xia Ye looked at him, then at the tall boy next to him, and said to him, "You didn't call me at noon." He received it at noon, and the afternoon plane arrived.
"Yes, but aren't you busy these days..."
"Not busy." Xia Ye said briefly, "Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Tang Jinyu agreed and asked again, "Brother, my classmate lives in a neighborhood near our house, can we send him back along the way?"
Xia Ye nodded.
Tang Jinyu went over and called Guo Xiaohu to get in the car together. Guo Xiaohu sat in the back row and called out "Brother Xia Ye" first. The children of these children became dazed when they saw Xia Ye when they were young, and didn't dare to make a sound while sitting there.
Tang Jinyu is much more relaxed. He has been riding in his brother's car since he was a child. From the bicycle to the car, he is more comfortable than his own car. He was still holding a box of buns in his hand, and Xia Ye saw it and asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Oh, I made it myself at the vegetarian restaurant in the afternoon, brother, can you try it? It's still hot!" He took a bun and handed it to Xia Ye's mouth, and fed him it at the traffic light. Xia Ye took a bite, as if Thinking of something, he warned again: "There is water in the car."
Tang Jinyu immediately opened a bottle and handed it to his brother's mouth.
Xia Ye: "…"
Xia Ye: "Drink it yourself, and bring a bottle of water when you go out, you know?"
