Chapter 148 A stepping stone

It was Secretary Wei who first gave Gu Wan the inspiration for this matter, and he was sure to supply her family's dishes first.

But there is no rush. During the day, it is mainly Wang Xiuxiu who is at home. Wei Wanrong is very disappointed with her daughter now.

So it would be better to just let Gu Wan bring some vegetables to the commune every day, and she would take them home directly after get off work.

This problem is also easy to solve. In order to ensure the freshness of the dishes, Gu Shan asked his wife to pick vegetables in the afternoon and he would run to the commune every day to deliver them.

In fact, this is quite troublesome. Wei Wanrong can't afford two cents for the dishes she ordered, but this is a matter of personal integrity, so Gu Shan would rather run errands.

From this point we can also see that even though everyone has their own little thoughts, the Gu family is generally very united in maintaining the overall interests of the family.

Putting himself in their shoes, Gu Wan would also like to be better to his family.

By the time the ox cart finally arrived in the county town, the state-owned restaurant had already passed its peak breakfast period and was no longer full.

This also shows the geographical disadvantage of the Red Flag Brigade, and that transportation in this era is really too inconvenient. In order to catch up with the early morning, they have to get up at four o'clock.

As a result, I got up early and arrived late.

Although it was said that Li Dajun was taking the Gu family along, in fact there was an additional member from another family. Qi Bin had no choice but to let his girlfriend, a girl, take so many risks.

Gu Shan and Gu Hai didn't have the courage, and Li Dajun had to watch the ox cart, so Qi Bin accompanied Gu Wan into the state-owned hotel.

It’s better this way. The two brothers are too honest, and there are some things Gu Wan doesn’t want them to know.

But Qi Bin is different. He is a smart man. Even if he finds some clues, he can make small adjustments while adhering to the general direction and principles.

However, Gu Wan only ordered a few steamed buns, steamed buns, tofu pudding and the like for Qi Bin to eat in the restaurant, while she herself went inside to find the chef.

"Go ahead, I'll buy some breakfast for my brothers too."

Qi Bin had actually already made a plan in his mind. He would let Wanwan try it on her own first, and if it didn't work he would take care of it.

After all, with his connections, it was no problem for him to eat dozens of kilograms of vegetables every day in a small county town.

Gu Wan also knew this, but he felt it was unnecessary.

Favors become less and less the more you use them, and they become difficult to repay. They must be used wisely. She has to find a way to solve this kind of thing herself.

Since it was to be bought for her brothers, Gu Wan certainly couldn't let Qi Bin pay for it. She still insisted on her principle on this point.

After buying many portions and asking Qi Bin to take them to his brothers and Uncle Dajun, Gu Wan took the opportunity to talk to the waiter: "Comrade, do you have noodles?"

In fact, according to local characteristics, people like to call it flower bun.

Apart from this, Gu Wan had several other ideas, which she planned to use as a stepping stone to cooperate with state-owned hotels.

After all, the vegetable supply here must have fixed partners. If you ask out of the blue, no one will take care of it even if you represent the production team.

The waiter's face was very grim, but it was generally the case at this time, especially since this was a state-owned restaurant in the county, a better unit than the supply and marketing cooperative.

"It doesn't matter if you eat noodles or not, but you also need noodle flowers to show that you have a lot of variety?" "Yes, there are a lot of varieties. Noodle flowers are a local feature of our place. In fact, the elderly prefer to call it flower bun. It can be made into various shapes, and different shapes have different meanings.

For example, the jujube buns represent mountains of gold and silver, the ingot buns represent rolling in money, the fish buns represent surpluses every year, and the flower buns represent a house full of flowers. There are also various other types, and you can also add different fruits to the flour to make it taste very colorful. "

The waitress was attracted by Gu Wan's words. She changed her arrogant expression and regained the liveliness of a young girl. "Wow, there are so many types of steamed buns. I have never heard of them."

Needless to say, they don’t have any in the kitchen either.

"Your state-owned restaurant doesn't even have steamed buns made from dough with various patterns?" Gu Wan's tone was very exaggerated.

The waiter felt embarrassed, as it was really a shame for their state-owned restaurant. "Our chef will use a carp model to make cakes for the New Year. As for the dough flowers you mentioned -

Isn't the dough made into a flower roll?"

"It's not flower rolls. Let me put it this way. I can't explain it clearly." Gu Wan said sweetly with a smile: "Sister, do you have ready-made dough in the kitchen right now? I'll make some and you'll know."

This matter is certainly not something a waitress can decide, but she was really curious and was stunned by Gu Wan's words, so she took the initiative to discuss it with the chef.

OK, some discussions are halfway to success, and Gu Wan used his first stepping stone very well.

Just like that, Gu Wan, who originally worked in a small kitchen in the commune, successfully broke into the kitchen of a state-owned restaurant in the county, and began the second step of her leap forward in life.

Yangjiang County is not big, so the scale of the state-owned restaurant is also average. There is only one chef and his apprentice in the kitchen.

There are also two aunts who help wash and cut vegetables. They do similar work to Huang Chunlan and Zhao Yujing. Of course, the salary here is definitely much better.

When she first entered the kitchen, Gu Wan did not try to strike up a conversation. Strength represented everything here, and since the chef was willing to let her in, Gu Wan naturally had to show off her skills first.

Because there was ready-made kneaded dough in the kitchen, Gu Wan started directly and she was very fast.

In a short while, he made several beautiful flower-shaped steamed buns, and then persimmon and carp-shaped ones. In addition to flour, Gu Wan also used other props.

Gu Wan did not hide his knowledge and gave detailed explanations during the process, telling them in detail how he operated.

The prepared dough buns were put aside to rise before being steamed. It was only at this moment that Gu Wan was finally able to talk to the chef, Master Wu.

When Gu Wan was operating, Master Wu was watching silently at the side, but he was actually amazed in his heart.

No matter what era, people will have more respect for those with skills.

An expert can tell whether a dish is good or not with just one move. When Gu Wan showed her skill, one could tell from her knife skills that this girl is quite skilled in cooking.

Especially in this age of underdeveloped information flow, this little girl is willing to show her unique skills in front of others. Her character is absolutely beyond reproach.

Therefore, Master Wu also wanted to make friends and was willing to talk to Gu Wan for a while.

Naturally, Gu Wan asked about the vegetable supply in the restaurant. Master Wu was also a smart man.

He responded immediately: "The amount of vegetables we need every day is not particularly large, but we are mainly short of food and meat. We are tight every month."

These are actually lacking everywhere.
