The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Chapter 14 Competition

"Excuse me, excuse me."

Then a group of people jumped out from the crowd. When she looked closely, she saw that there were more than a dozen people, including her brother, Zhang Letian and his classmates (friends).

I thought someone was going to cause trouble, and Gu Yin was ready to ask the strong man she specially hired to beat him up, but... this is it?

"Boss, you guys go on, go on. We're just here to join in the fun~" Zhang Letian laughed.

The people around him also laughed and agreed:

"Yes, yes, we are here just to join in the fun."

Gu Yin was very happy to have someone to show up, and they were obviously high-spending people. Before, she was a little worried that the people present were just ordinary people, but now, someone just happened to give her a pillow when she was dozing off.

After a few pleasantries, Gu Yin announced the start of the competition.

First, there was the dim sum tasting. There were exactly ten people who signed up to make dim sum. They started preparing their entries early in the morning. The waiter brought out the hot dim sum one by one and arranged them on the table according to the numbers. There were many kinds of pastries and biscuits, each of which was small and exquisite, accompanied by bursts of fragrance, which greatly increased your appetite.

Each team has two waiters who are responsible for maintaining order and guiding the crowd to taste and vote in an orderly manner.

"Everyone line up, don't worry, everyone has one~"

"Don't forget the number in front. It would be unfair if you voted for the wrong person you think is the number one~"

"Oh, this tastes good~" Zhang Letian commented while eating.

One of Zhang Letian’s friends: “Wow~ this one is even more delicious, you guys try it~”

Gu Chenshuo nodded and smiled as he tasted the food.

Exclamations of praise rang out one after another at the scene. Those who were queuing at the back stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look at the people in front who were tasting the food, and swallowed their saliva silently when they heard their wows.

“Just eat it, why are you shouting so loudly? Is it really that delicious?” someone complained to the person next to him.

"That's right, that's right." Mainly because they are also greedy.

Soon, they also joined the team shouting wow wow...

There were so many people participating that it took half a day and two competitions to come to an end. At the same time, three people were selected in front of the crowd.

As for why there were three people, it’s simple. In the dim sum competition, two of them tied for first place in the votes.

In this regard, Gu Yin hired both of them without hesitation. Aunt Bao and Aunt Feng looked at each other, their excitement was beyond words. Gu Yin gave silver to everyone who participated in the competition that day, so although the other losers were disappointed, the generous silver gave them an unexpected surprise.

"You don't have to be envious. Everyone who helps today will be rewarded." Gu Yin stood on the stage on the first floor and spoke loudly to everyone.

"As the saying goes, many hands make light work. As you can see, our restaurant is about to open. Next, I hope that everyone can work together to provide good service, so that diners who come to our restaurant can not only taste delicious food, but also enjoy the home-like service." Gu Yin then encouraged everyone, "In the future, when the restaurant business is good and profitable, everyone will get bonuses. Let's work hard together!"

Pearl started clapping excitedly, and the other strong men also followed suit, clapping their hands until they almost felt like they had their hands turned red.

There is no one who doesn't like making money. Compared to the unchanging monthly salary, who would not look forward to this way of making money with bonuses and hope? Everyone can't wait for the restaurant to open immediately, and they will definitely serve the guests comfortably.

"Three chefs, come with me, let's discuss the dishes for the restaurant." After encouraging everyone, Gu Yin signaled Zhenzhu to lead the others to clean up and work, while she took Feicui to discuss the dishes with the chefs.

She may not always have time to manage the restaurant in the future, so she should let Feicui get familiar with the management matters of the restaurant first. Then she will be busy with other things and Feicui can be a hands-off manager.

She is really smart, Gu Yin thought silently in his heart.

"Uncle Zhu, can you please tell me first, what dishes are you good at?"

After they sat down, Gu Yin began to ask the chefs about their cooking skills.

"I wonder if you have tried the fried crispy pork I brought to the written test?"

Gu Yin nodded, and naturally tasted all the dishes entered in the competition.

“It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Uncle Zhu’s cooking skills are beyond words. But if there’s anything special about it, it should be the special dry sauce on the outside. It leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth and is very memorable.”

In fact, Gu Yin also tasted it at that time. Uncle Zhu’s exclusive dipping sauce was extremely salty and fragrant, and it would be unique even in modern times.

"Yes, that is the exclusive recipe handed down from generation to generation in our family, and it has been modified continuously according to different periods."

Uncle Zhu did not deny it, and even said that he could easily make fried crispy pork, crispy fish, and even fried chicken by directly using dipping sauce to add flavor.

"In addition to seasoning, cooking also requires mastering knife skills and timing. I think I am good at these skills."

"The popular dishes nowadays, such as braised pork, vinegar fish, steamed fish, roast chicken, roast duck, and stewed chicken soup, steaming, boiling, stewing, and frying are all no problem."

Uncle Zhu is very confident in his cooking skills. He stood out from the crowd of contestants and he obviously has some real skills. Gu Yin has always appreciated people who dare to show themselves.

Gold will always shine, provided that it meets someone who recognizes its value. Otherwise, it will be covered in dirt and if you don’t take the initiative to show yourself, it’s unknown when it will be seen by others.

Considering that the weather is hot now, if we can offer a few refreshing dishes, it may attract some customers.

"Uncle, can you make cold noodles?"

"This is not difficult. There are no restaurants in Ning County that sell this, and only a few large restaurants in the capital sell it."

Gu Yin was a little confused as to why such a delicious snack hadn't become popular.

I quickly asked the uncle to show off his cooking skills, and he happily went to the kitchen to prepare.

"Auntie Bao, Auntie Feng, what are you two good at?"

The two looked at each other, and Aunt Bao, who was slightly thinner, spoke first:

"I am keen on making steamed food. I am good at making steamed buns, dumplings and pastries. The one I brought to the competition was osmanthus cake."

As soon as Aunt Bao said that, Gu Yin remembered that osmanthus cake was sweet, soft and delicious.

"I like to think about spring rolls and various pastries, mainly fried or baked. The pastry I entered in the previous competition was egg yolk pastry."

The obese Aunt Feng said cheerfully. That is, the ingredients for the competition were all provided by the restaurant, and the ingredients were complete, so she was able to make this egg yolk pastry.

Normally, most people cannot afford it. Farmers who raise chickens and ducks are reluctant to eat a few extra eggs, so they save them and take them to the county town to sell.

Gu Yin suddenly realized that she was very surprised when she saw the egg yolk pastry before. She didn't expect that there were people in Daji Dynasty who could make this. She didn't know whether it was because the chickens here were free-range, the eggs tasted particularly fragrant, and the egg yolk pastry made from it was even more fragrant and delicious than some modern brands.

"Since you are good at different things, I have an idea. I wonder if it will work~"

"Miss, please tell me."

"Can you two learn each other's skills? Of course, we don't need to be masters of each other, but we want to make sure that one of you takes a vacation so that the other can fill in."

The two looked at each other and said in embarrassment:

"This……"
