Qiu Suge nodded and walked into the kitchen. She had already prepared the ingredients and stored them in the freezer. She only had to take out the ingredients according to the amount. It would be very fast to cook the dishes. The rice had already been steamed.
Seeing Qiu Suge enter the kitchen, Quan Zhilong naturally noticed the tea bowls and chopsticks on the floor. Seaweed egg soup was also served as an example, and the side dishes were all Chinese side dishes, such as fried peanuts and pickled vegetables. These were all complimentary.
So far, Teacher Bai was very satisfied with their performance. Of course, he was also quite satisfied with the seaweed egg soup and side dishes. He could not help but pick up a few fried peanuts and eat them. He could not help but nod and sigh at the camera. "This is the most worry-free celebrity restaurant I've ever seen!"
It was rare for the production team to see Teacher Bai praise the moment he opened his mouth. Every time, he would nitpick with a dark face. If he was a little gentle, he would deliberately be mysterious and not say a word. When had he ever praised them so directly? Sure enough, the reform this time was right! Even now, Qiu Suge's dishes had yet to be served. The production crew heaved a sigh of relief. Teacher Bai wouldn't finish both dishes, right? After all, they were so delicious … Alright, the production crew members who had tasted Qiu Suge's dishes began to savor the aftertaste …
Sure enough, when Quan Zhilong placed the two servings of rice in front of Teacher Bai, he almost could not control his smile when he smelled the aroma. However, he still held it in and said to the two of them, "You two go to the monitoring room. I will properly inspect your restaurant. As long as it passes, you can officially open for business!"
When Quan Zhilong and Qiu Suge entered the monitoring room and sat next to Teacher Bai, he was already ready to taste the food. At this time, he had completely put away the smile on his face and looked completely serious. The two of them could not help but feel nervous. They unconsciously held each other's hands and encouraged each other.
Teacher Bai glanced at the situation. Aiyo, there was indeed a situation! He raised his eyebrows and looked at them with a smile. "It's okay, it's okay. Don't be nervous. Teacher Bai is always like this. You don't have to be nervous!"
At this time, they also realized that the two of them were a little ambiguous. They quickly let go of their hands to avoid arousing suspicion. However, all of this was recorded by the camera, which made it seem even more ambiguous! Don't you know that the production team will add some pink bubbles and pink music later in the program? Well, this is probably the first time this program has used such music and bubbles, right? It was just a gourmet show. How did it get crooked?
Teacher Bai picked up the bowl of seaweed egg soup and tasted it. He had seen Quan Zhilong's actions in the kitchen, so he was curious if this bowl of seaweed egg soup tasted good. Sigh, it's obviously a restaurant, so why are they paying attention to the soup first? Teacher Bai is also strange!
Actually, the situation was like this. This bowl of seaweed egg soup was not directly scooped out of a large pot. Instead, it was personally made by Quan Zhilong.
The boiling soup in the large pot was the bone broth that had been simmering since morning. Quan Zhilong's seaweed egg soup was made with this bone broth as the soup base. He placed the chopped seaweed and dried shrimps into the bowl and added some seasoning salt. The saltiness of the seaweed and dried shrimps made it unnecessary to add more seasoning. Only a little salt was needed to increase the freshness of the soup.
After the eggs were beaten, they were poured into the soup pot. Due to the heat, the eggs were cooked and floated up. At this time, he quickly scooped out the plumeria and poured it into a bowl. Then, he added enough soup. Because not all customers liked chopped green onion and coriander, the seasoning was placed in a small plate. The customers could decide whether to add it or not.
Seeing that Teacher Bai had actually started drinking the soup, Quan Zhilong felt so nervous that he was about to vomit. This seaweed egg soup was something that he had practiced many times with the menu that Qiu Suge had given him. Only then did he pass Qiu Suge's approval. But he still suspected that Qiu Suge passed because of his hard work. Now that Teacher Bai was inspecting him, how could he not be nervous?
Teacher Bai decided to drink the soup first because he saw that Quan Zhilong made it. After all, he trusted Qiu Suge's cooking. Indeed, he drank it first because he was worried!
Mr. Bai took a sip of the soup without any expression on his face, but his eyes lit up. Then, he took a bite of the egg drop, and a smile appeared on his face. After that, he added chopped green onions and coriander into the soup according to his preferences. After tasting the soup, he gave the camera a thumbs up. "It's surprisingly delicious. I thought this soup was going to be a failure!"
Alright, even if you praise me, I'm not very happy! Quan Zhilong said that he was not very happy, but the pride on his face was very obvious. He even raised his eyebrows at Qiu Suge provocatively. Don't be too envious of me!
Qiu Suge rolled her eyes at him. Do I need to be envious of you? Humph …
Looking at the smiling faces of his children, Lao Tzu's father couldn't help but smile like an old father. It's good to be young!
Hmm, he doesn't look that young. He's already in his thirties …
Perhaps because the failure of the seaweed egg soup had passed, Teacher Bai tasted the Mapo tofu rice and Yuxiang shredded pork rice. Hmm … as expected of someone who studied in China for more than ten years. Not bad, not bad. It's all good! Teacher Bai didn't hide his love for these two dishes at all. He didn't even care that he was in the middle of losing weight and ate the two dishes clean. Everyone in the monitoring room was shocked. Lao Tzu's father couldn't help but sigh. "I haven't seen Teacher Bai eat a dish so cleanly in a long time!"
Hearing Lao Tzu's father's sigh, Quan Zhilong was even more proud. She's indeed the woman I like! Eh … What does it have to do with you? You only recommended Qiu Suge. What's the point of being happier than her?
After the tasting, Teacher Bai picked up the camera and walked to the kitchen. Other than the dishes, the kitchen also had to be up to standard! However, how could a kitchen managed by Qiu Suge, who was experienced in the kitchen, not up to standard? He saw that the kitchen stove was completely clean. If it wasn't for the water stains and the residual heat of the pots, he would have thought that Qiu Suge and Quan Zhilong had ordered takeout orz …
The commonly used vegetables had already been cut up and placed neatly in the freezer. The various types of meat were also prepared according to the required shapes and sizes. They were placed separately from the vegetables so that they wouldn't contaminate each other. After all, if there were a lot of people coming for lunch or dinner, it would be impossible to prepare the ingredients one by one. Preparing these first was the right choice. It would also reduce the time for customers to wait.
At this moment, he also saw that the bone broth was still simmering. Looking at the white broth bubbling, he scooped it up with a large spoon to see what ingredients were used to make the broth. Looking at the pile of bones in the broth, Teacher Bai was amused again. Wouldn't the cost be a little too high? However, he had also seen their cost calculation before. Sharing some profits to provide better service to customers was still worth affirming. It was fine as long as they didn't lose money!
Overall, Teacher Bai was very satisfied with Quan Zhilong and Qiu Suge's' Chinese Meat Vegetable Rice 'restaurant. At least, it was the most worry-free restaurant he had encountered so far. He didn't need to give any suggestions on cooking or business. If only every restaurant could be so worry-free!
Sigh … If every restaurant was so worry-free, there wouldn't be a need for this show, right?
Just like that, the 'Chinese Meat Vegetable Rice' restaurant officially opened for business under Teacher Bai's high approval. However, when it officially opened for business, the problem that Teacher Bai was worried about really happened …
Quan Zhilong had always thought that he was in the crisis of being outdated, but in fact, there were quite a lot of fans waiting for him and Big Bang to return. Layers and layers of colorful flags were not enough to describe it. No matter how many new idols there were, it was not enough for them to climb over the wall. Therefore, when they found out that he had opened a restaurant in an alley, there were quite a lot of fans who came to support him.
With more fans, there were naturally more acts of asking for autographs and photos in the restaurant. As an idol who doted on his fans with his strength, he naturally smiled and cooperated with these simple requests.
However, this cooperation delayed the customers from serving the dishes. In the end, it became a complete mess. The wrong dishes were served, the forgotten dishes were served, and the missed orders were served. After just one afternoon of business, it was a complete mess. Sure enough, no matter how much homework they had done, without actual practice, it was still impossible. Their previous performance was completely on paper!
Teacher Bai naturally called for an emergency halt to their restaurant's operations. Quan Zhilong and Qiu Suge could only follow his instructions. After repeatedly bowing and apologizing to the customers (fans) who were still queuing outside, they directly hung up the resting sign.
As soon as Teacher Bai entered the shop, he immediately reprimanded Quan Zhilong. He no longer had the amiable expression he had when he was tasting the food. He didn't give Quan Zhilong any face at all. "Are you here for a fan meeting?"
To be honest, other than being scolded by President Yang for causing trouble when he first debuted, Quan Zhilong had not been scolded like this in a long time. He also knew that the situation during lunch just now was really unexpected, and he did not do anything right. He should not have indulged in the pursuit of fans. ORZ … It had been too long since he had seen fans. When he saw how enthusiastic they were, he was a little too excited and could not control himself. What should he do?
He sighed. He had always been someone who knew his mistakes and could change. Naturally, he apologized to Teacher Bai. "Mi Ana, I was too excited to see the fans just now. I forgot my duty."
Teacher Bai did not reprimand Quan Zhilong. He turned his head and started to scold Qiu Suge. "What about you? Did you forget that you are also a part of this restaurant? Do you think that it is enough to cook in the kitchen? Why don't you communicate with the outside? That way you can quickly find out the problem!"
Well, Qiu Suge felt that she had returned to the days when she was scolded by her master. She shrunk her shoulders and weakly said, "Mi Ana!" Where was the imposing manner of reprimanding a student in the cooking class?
Teacher Bai was indeed the big boss!
In the end, the two who were originally full of confidence could only listen to Teacher Bai's advice and limit the number of customers. After the first batch of customers finished ordering, they would continue to receive new customers. This way, there would be no chaos. As for taking photos and signing autographs, they could only restrain themselves. They hoped that the fans would understand. After all, they were open for business. They could not affect the other customers' meals!
After a whole day of business, Quan Zhilong and Qiu Suge were so tired that they doubted their lives. After hanging up the closed sign, they directly collapsed on the chair and did not want to move. Qiu Suge felt that his decision to not open a restaurant was correct. In comparison, his cooking class was much more relaxed.
After lying down for a while, the two's stomachs began to growl. So hungry … In the end, the two who were attacked by hunger could only get up. One used the remaining ingredients to cook a few side dishes and made a simple egg fried rice. The other used the remaining bone broth to make two bowls of seaweed egg soup. This way, they could eat the remaining ingredients. Perfect!
In the end, the two almost licked the bowls and plates clean. As expected, they were extremely hungry. Even the simple dishes were super delicious! But they were still a little tired. They did not want to face tomorrow's business. What should they do?
Quan Zhilong and Qiu Suge looked at each other. Alright, one took out two cans of beer from the fridge and the other took out cigarettes from his backpack. Let's relieve our worries first!
So the two squatted in front of the restaurant, smoking, drinking and chatting. They completely ignored the gazes of the pedestrians who had not returned home yet.
