Chapter 279 I Help Him Advertise
Just now, Zheng Zhihua wanted the other party to tell her his name and representative work, but she didn't say it. Now she recognized Xia Anan, and she felt even more unbalanced.
She said sourly: "Xiao Xia, I didn't expect you to be so famous. Everyone knows you."
But the other people were busy taking photos with Xia Anan and did not hear the sarcasm in her words.
"My sister goes to school in Beijing. Every time she calls me, she tells me how delicious the food in the snack street is. She also buys a lot for us. They are just delicious!"
"I'll send the photo to her later. This is the time to make her envy us!"
"She ate at your food stand, and we ate the food you cooked!"
Xia Anan smiled and said, "Then I hope you can go to Jing City when you have time and try our snack stand."
Just now she was thinking about how to advertise her snack stand in a tactful way, but she didn't expect that the other person actually knew her.
Fate, this is fate.
After seeing off this table of guests, the restaurant became quiet again, with only one table left.
"Sir, your food is here!"
Han Yuan and Xie Yu placed the two steaming dishes on the table in front of Chen Jiawei one by one.
With this fragrance and appearance, who wouldn’t be confused?
It was really a good decision for the program crew to invite Xia Anan. If the cooking task was given to the four of them, who knows what kind of scene would have resulted in the end.
"That's pretty fast." Chen Jiawei picked up the chopsticks and was surprised that the two dishes in front of him looked pretty good.
The sweet and sour pork tenderloin is bright in color and has an attractive luster.
Another plate of potato shreds was cut into even thicknesses and dotted with green pepper shreds.
But it’s not enough for it to just look good, it also has to taste good.
When Chen Jiawei heard the guest next door want to take a photo, he no longer had any expectations for the taste of the food.
The girl is not very old, and she is probably a celebrity. How delicious can the food she makes be...
When Chen Jiawei put the piece of sweet and sour pork into his mouth, he knew he was wrong.
The tenderloin is fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The thin batter is filled with tender meat strips. There is no meaty smell, only the aroma of meat and the taste of the sauce on the surface.
The sweetness of the sauce and the sourness of the vinegar intertwined, whetting his appetite.
This is a perfect match when paired with soft and chewy rice.
Try the shredded potatoes again. The taste is slightly sour at first, and the spiciness emerges later as you chew the crispy shredded potatoes.
Chen Jiawei realized that he had underestimated the little girl. If these things were really made by her, she must be a professional chef.
During the subsequent tasting process, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, which was a kind of recognition of the two dishes.
When Xia Anan came out after washing her hands, the guests were eating the food on the table in front of them.
She walked to the counter and took a sip of water.
Now as a chef, it is very important for her to observe which dish the guests eat more and which dish they don’t eat much.
"An An, you are really awesome. Watching them eat makes me hungry."
Han Yuan gave a thumbs up and said softly.
She felt proud to see these guests praising the taste of these dishes!
I can’t even imagine how good the business would be if this restaurant was opened in a downtown area.
When Chen Jiawei finished the rice in the bowl, he still felt a little regretful and wanted to order another serving of rice to eat the remaining soup.
Finally, I took a sip of hot tea and felt relaxed all over.
The location of this restaurant is quite remote, and the decoration inside is not as exquisite as other restaurants. And these young stars don’t look like they can cook delicious food.
But the taste is just good.
Chen Jiawei waved his hand, and Han Yuan thought something happened, so she hurried over.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Han Yuan silently looked at the plate on the table. It was empty, with no foreign objects. There should be no problem, right?
Chen Jiawei pointed to the empty plates on the table and asked, "Girl, did you cook all these dishes yourself? Didn't you hire a chef for the show?"
"It's not the chef! It's An An, our chef!"
Han Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was something wrong with the food. Now it seems that it was because the food was too delicious?
She pointed to where Xia Anan was and introduced, "That's the chef of our restaurant. She opened a snack street in Beijing. Not only are the food at the snack stalls delicious, but ordinary meals are also delicious!"
Chen Jiawei nodded, he didn't expect that it was really done by the young girl.
Seeing Han Yuan pointing at her, Xia Anan walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong with the food?"
Chen Jiawei shook his head with a hint of approval in his tone.
"Little girl, you are a good cook. The food you make is very much to my taste."
Xia Anan smiled and said, "As long as you like it. I saw you riding a bicycle just now. If you live nearby, you can come often."
She noticed that this person's aura was different from that of ordinary people, and she thought he was sent by the program to save face.
Now it seems like a real passerby.
But it feels good to have your cooking skills recognized.
Han Yuan and Xie Yu went out again, but failed to attract any customers as most people had already eaten.
"Teacher Zheng, where did you and Teacher Zhou go to meet guests today?"
The only table of guests today were those invited by herself, so Han Yuan's words became more confident.
Zheng Zhihua pointed to the road outside, "It's right outside. The place the production team found for us is too remote. There aren't many people there. There's nothing we can do."
The director didn't expect that he would be shot again, so he went somewhere else with the cup of water.
Zheng Zhihua seemed to have just realized that he was the store manager and said, "Although there was only one table of customers at noon today, it is still an improvement."
She seemed to want everyone to be happy, but it was obvious to everyone that they were not happy.
"I think the location of our restaurant is a bit remote. It would be better if we had a sign." Han Yuan said.
Her throat was sore from shouting on the roadside for so long today.
Zheng Zhihua patted her shoulder and said, "Xiao Han is right. We should prepare a sign so that we don't have to spend so much energy looking for customers."
She clapped her hands and began giving orders again.
"Xiao Xia, wash these plates and bowls, Xiao Han, wipe the table, Xiao Xie, mop the floor, and the two of us will call the advertising company and ask for the price."
Xia Anan had a blank expression on her face. It seemed that she really came to this show to do hard labor.
"Teacher Zheng, An An is very tired after cooking two meals today. So she doesn't need to wash the dishes, right?" Han Yuan spoke her mind and said directly.
When Xia Anan wanted to stop her, it was too late.
The smile on Zheng Zhihua's face faded a little, "Xiao Xia, do you think so too?"
As the store manager, she has already given the order, so why doesn't the other party just do it? Does she really have to wash the dishes herself?
At this moment, she stared at Xia Anan, hoping that she would be sensible.
But Xia Anan was not what she wanted. She had a backer and couldn't bear the humiliation all the time.
"Yes, Mr. Zheng, you two didn't find any customers today, and you didn't participate in the cooking process. Now go wash the dishes."
Zheng Zhihua laughed out of anger and wanted to say something, but Xia Anan had already turned around and left.
What Xia Anan said just now was also true. She didn't do any work today, which wouldn't work when the show was broadcast.
But now she couldn't bring it up on her own initiative. She looked at Xie Yu and Han Yuan, hoping that they would take the initiative to offer to help wash the dishes.
Xie Yu: "Just now the staff said to prepare for the interview, I will go over first."
Han Yuan: "Ah? Then I'll go put on some makeup first."
The two looked at each other tacitly and left quickly.
Now even if Zhou Zhenlin and Zheng Zhihua wanted to avoid work, they had no choice but to accept their fate and wash the dishes.
There are only two tables of guests today, so there aren't many plates.
But after collecting it just now, I didn’t soak it in water, and there is no dishwasher in the kitchen.
Now there are only two words - difficult to brush.
After washing two plates, Zheng Zhihua felt a little discouraged.
But now the camera was filming, and she couldn't just say that she didn't want to work anymore.
"Young people nowadays don't like to endure hardships or work."
She suddenly spoke up. Zhou Zhenlin was a little confused, but he still agreed.
"Yes, but the quality of life has improved a lot now, so there is no need to endure hardship."
Zheng Zhihua suddenly took off his gloves and hit his waist several times.
"I can't do this anymore. I'm old and my waist is not in good condition. I can't bend over for even a short while..."
Zhou Zhenlin: “…”
It's already like this, what else doesn't he understand?
"Then Mr. Zheng, please go to the side and take a rest. There are not many dishes and chopsticks left. I can do it myself."
Zheng Zhihua pretended to be surprised: "Will that be too much trouble for you?"
"……Won't."
After lunch, everyone sat around a table again and began to discuss the advertising signs.
Han Yuan took out the contact information of the advertising company she had found, called the other party, and briefly stated her needs.
"...Oh, right... Well, okay, then we'll contact each other later..."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Zheng Zhihua quickly asked, "What happened?"
Han Yuan: "...Teacher Zheng, our funding is just not enough."
The money given by the program team is actually quite a lot, but today Zheng Zhihua splurges in the supermarket and buys a bunch of stale vegetables, spending all the money on the back of the knife...
Of course Zheng Zhihua did not admit that she had made the mistake. She grabbed the phone and called the number that had just been called.
"We are celebrities, and appearing on our show is also a promotion for him, can't it be cheaper?"
In the following call, she brought her celebrity superiority to the extreme.
The other party was so annoyed by her words that he hung up the phone.
"This guy has no vision! I gave him a chance but he couldn't seize it! Let's go to another one. I don't believe he wouldn't be happy to be on the show."
Xia Anan yawned. It's not like anyone asked you to be on the show. How could you want to spend ten dollars to buy something worth a hundred dollars?
When buying vegetables, people would say that it’s not easy for vegetable sellers. Now why don’t you say that it’s not easy for advertisers?
Xia Anan felt that after the show was broadcast, Zheng Zhihua should be given the title of "famous double standard".
Now that she is no longer the store manager, it doesn’t matter if there are fewer people in the store. After all, she can feel more relaxed with fewer people.
Just make it whatever you can, since you can cook your own food anyway.
Finally, under Zheng Zhihua's strong request and pressure, the program team paid part of the compensation, and the advertising company agreed to make the sign for them.
As for what the final product will look like, there is no guarantee yet.
But it takes time to make the sign. Zheng Zhihua wanted to urge the other party to hurry up, but the other party was already very impatient and said, "It will cost more if you rush."
These words successfully shut Zheng Zhihua up. With so many people watching him, he couldn't say anything more.
"Look at this boss, why is he in such a hurry? Once he finishes making our billboards, we will help him promote it. It will definitely not be a loss."
After solving this problem, it was time to prepare dinner.
There was only one table of customers at noon, and Han Yuan found it on the roadside. Now that it was getting dark, it was even harder to find.
"Let's not sit idle this afternoon. Let's all go out and look for customers."
Zheng Zhihua gave orders and asked everyone to go out.
Xia Anan was about to go with him, but was stopped by the other party.
"An An, just wait inside the restaurant. No one will recognize you if you go out anyway." Zhou Zhenlin said.
Xia Anan was stunned and put on the apron she hadn't taken off yet, "Then I'll wait in the store."
I don't want her to go, she doesn't want to go yet.
Han Yuan moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
The group of four went out, and Xia Anan stayed in the restaurant. She took out the ingredients and washed the vegetables that were about to go bad.
Even if there are no customers for a while, they still have to eat.
Finally, he boiled some water, turned back to his room, found the tea leaves, and took out some.
No need to put oil in the pot, fry the tea leaves over low heat until they are fragrant, add a small amount of sugar, and pour in the milk after the tea leaves have a caramelized aroma.
A big pot of hot milk tea is ready.
On a slightly chilly evening like this, having a cup of hot milk tea is so comfortable.
Xia Anan poured herself a cup and turned around to see the director peeking at the door.
She paused: "Director, is there anything wrong?"
The director pointed at the cup in her hand, seeming a little embarrassed, "Xiao Xia, what delicious food are you making? Let me try it."
As he said this, he handed over his big teacup.
Xia Anan: “…”
She poured half a cup for the other person, but the other person's cup was too big. If it was filled up, the rest of the people would not be able to drink.
"Thank you, thank you. Teacher Xia is the best! This smells so good!"
The director got what he wanted and was so happy that he carefully carried it back to his original position.
Xia Anan took a sip and found it was indeed very fragrant, but she didn't know much about the varieties of tea. The only one she knew was jasmine tea.
I found this when I was cleaning the kitchen. There were all kinds of tea filling the whole cabinet.
Xia Anan asked Lu Qingyuan, who usually didn't drink tea much, and said it was up to her to do with it.
So Xia Anan cooked a pot of milk tea and some tea eggs.
Anyway, Lu Qingyuan and Xia Baobao were enjoying the meal, so the price wasn't that important.
