Chapter 342 - Nothing Serious
“Mr. Xiaolong, what do you want me to do?” Since she had already opened her mouth, Luh Xiaoya no longer felt embarrassed. After all, it didn't matter who she worked for. If she could work for Zhang Xiaolong, at least she wouldn't have to worry about her safety.
“Didn't you learn management? From now on, this newly opened restaurant will be managed by you and Mr. Yang. Just take it as an internship.” Zhang Xiaolong said.
“Ah?” Initially, Luh Xiaoya thought that no matter what job she did, she would be able to do it. However, when she heard Zhang Xiaolong's words, her heart skipped a beat. “Can I do it? I'm just a freshman, and I still don't understand a lot of things…”
“That's fine. I haven't even graduated from high school yet. According to what you said, I should be able to do anything.” Zhang Xiaolong immediately dispelled the thought of her retreating.
Yang Haosheng also saw that the girl's relationship with Zhang Xiaolong was not ordinary. He immediately added, “Right, right, right. I'm a big old man. I haven't even graduated from high school. Not to mention college, I have earned quite a bit of money when I opened a restaurant in the past. Although I have failed this time, I won't fall from the sky. My academic qualifications are just for show. If I can learn something from it, it will definitely be useful. However, it is not omnipotent. Those who can survive from the battlefield might not be from the military school. It depends on who has the higher ability to kill the enemy.”
“Then… I'll give it a try.” Luh Xiaoya hesitated.
She did not have much confidence in herself. Although she had attended high school, she still felt that she was a child from a small place. She felt a little inferior when facing her classmates in the city. She tried her best to absorb the things here, but she still felt that she did not understand a lot of things. She did not have the slightest bit of confidence to manage such a big restaurant.
“Alright, then you can try. From now on, you are the general manager here. Brother Yang Haosheng is the vice general manager, and the two of you can discuss all the matters here. If you have any questions, just follow me and learn for a while.” Zhang Xiaolong was not in a hurry, “Don't be too nervous. There won't be any big things happening in this restaurant for a while, so we just need to knock down the Flying Phoenix across the street.”
“Pfft …” Yang Haosheng almost spat out a table full of food, “Boss, you are too funny. There won't be any big things happening here, so knocking down the Flying Phoenix is not a big deal? I feel that this is not a matter that can be settled in a day or two. We have to stabilize ourselves first. Sigh, I neglected this point in the past, which is why I ended up in such a sorry state. This time, we can't go back to the same old ways. If not, even though I will have to pay you back, I will feel so aggrieved in my heart.”
However, Zhang Xiaolong did not take it seriously, “Don't be in such a hurry. The reason why the Flying Phoenix is so powerful is because of its delicious dishes. I will go and get you some food first. In a while, you can try it and see how it compares to the dishes of the Flying Phoenix.”
After saying that, he asked the waiter to bring him to the kitchen. The remaining few people looked at each other in dismay.
“Boss Zhang can cook?” Yang Haosheng was also a little surprised.
But even if he could cook, could he cook better than Old Master Yang De's true inheritance?
Everyone turned to look at Luh Xiaoya. Other than her, the rest of them had only known Zhang Xiaolong for a few days.
“I should know how to cook. Most of the children in the countryside know how to cook. They don't need to starve themselves, but if you want to cook delicious food…” Luh Xiaoya didn't dare to guarantee anything. After all, cooking in the countryside was more about making the food cooked.
Some of the common cooking methods were indeed not bad and tasty, but it was not necessarily the same when placed in a big restaurant.
“No matter what, Boss Zhang is a good person. I will just do my job here obediently. I am a rough person, so I will have to ask Boss Lu to be more considerate in the future. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I can listen to both good and bad things.” Yang Haosheng said politely, “I have some experience in this industry. If I combine it with the management methods that Mr. Lu taught me, I can definitely manage this restaurant.”
“Mr. Yang, you are too polite. Actually, I don't really understand this, but since Mr. Xiaolong wants me to do it, then I will try. In the future, I will definitely ask Mr. Yang for guidance. Don't complain that I am annoying,” Luh Xiaoya hurriedly said to him.
Although she had only been out for less than a year, Luh Xiaoya had changed a lot. At least, she was not as shy as before, and her words were much more generous.
She understood what Zhang Xiaolong meant. He wanted her to train her management skills in advance. Even if she didn't work here after graduation, it would be a valuable experience. It would be much easier for her to apply for a job.
Furthermore, Yang Haosheng was a useful person, but their relationship was not that close. With her here, she could better control the situation. However, she had to properly coordinate the relationship between the two of them. She could not let the other party have any misgivings in his heart, or else it would ruin Mr. Xiaolong's plan.
However, she was overthinking the matter. Yang Haosheng was thanking Zhang Xiaolong from the bottom of his heart for helping him through this crisis. As for arranging a little girl to be the general manager, it was not a big deal. With just a glance, she could tell that she was very close to Zhang Xiaolong. She could just let him help her out here. With just the ten million yuan that he had given her, there was nothing to say.
The few of them exchanged a few words, but they were not the kind of people who liked to play dirty tricks. Therefore, they quickly became familiar with each other.
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong also walked out from the kitchen. Behind him were a few excited waiters.
“So fragrant!” Before he even reached the front, Yang Haosheng's nose twitched, as if he had smelled something fishy.
When he placed the food on the table, he saw that the food was not too fresh. Although the dishes were cooked to a satisfactory level, their appearance was a lot worse. However, the difference in the taste was not that great. The four people on the table took a deep breath, feeling that the taste of the dishes was definitely not bad.
“Taste it?” Zhang Xiaolong stretched out his hand and asked everyone to try the dishes.
Yang Haosheng did not stand on ceremony and immediately picked up his chopsticks to eat. The first bite landed on his mouth, and he smacked his lips twice. He quickly reached for another plate of dishes, and after tasting all the dishes, he gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, “Amazing! I didn't expect Boss Zhang to have such a skill. Compared to the dishes in the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant, this dish is even better. The fresh fragrance is too pure. Even Old Master Yang De might not be able to make something like this with his own hands.”
“With these few dishes, can you compete with the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant?” Zhang Xiaolong asked seriously.
“Yes, of course!” Yang Haosheng said confidently. However, he was a little embarrassed. “But the difference in the price of these dishes is too great. If I can carve them a little more, it would definitely be better. If the price is too high, it will be hard for people to notice.”
“As long as it is good enough.” Zhang Xiaolong did not care about what Yang Haosheng said. He just smiled and said, “These dishes weren't made by me. They were made by them.”
Everyone followed his finger and looked over. When Yang Haosheng tried the dishes, they were not idle either. Naturally, they could taste the deliciousness of the dishes.
However, there were no outsiders behind Zhang Xiaolong. There were only a few waiters who came with him.
“Stop looking. These are the ones in front of you.” Zhang Xiaolong saw that everyone was looking at the waiters, as if they were looking for someone inside. “The reason why the dishes are so delicious is because these dishes are different from the ingredients used just now. The ingredients used are of the highest quality. Even if the waiters came here to fry them, they could still fry them to the level of a master chef. What if you change the chef?”
