Chapter 527: Not Smart
Jiang You opened his mouth and found that he was speechless.
The boss can give whatever name he wants to the dishes he cooks. This seems to be... okay?
But the key is how can I guess the name of the dish?
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Jiang You, "Did you ask the guest the name of the dish?"
Jiang You nodded, "I asked, and he said this is 'ball', that's what everyone calls it, but he doesn't know what it's called specifically."
he said with a shrug.
He asked, but didn't take it seriously, because in his opinion, this was Sixi Meatballs.
"Boss, may I ask if you have any tips?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
The name of the store is Sixi, but the meatballs are not called Sixi. There is nothing special about the decoration of the room, it just feels quite cozy.
If the boss doesn't say it himself, it's hard for others to know what it's called.
"Hint...its name is in the store, it depends on whether you can find it or not." The boss chuckled.
Jiang Xiaobai was silent.
The boss has already gone to work. There is a male waiter helping him, and a female waiter is peeling pine nuts at the counter.
"Are pine nuts used in cooking?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at them for a while and then asked.
The girl raised her head and glanced at her, then lowered her head and started peeling it off, "No, it's the boss lady who wants to eat it."
"Is the landlady in the store?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked in the direction of the stairs, but couldn't see why.
This shop has two floors, and the upstairs is probably where I live, because there is a sign at the top of the stairs that says "The upstairs is not a dining area, and no one is allowed to enter."
"The boss lady is sick and is resting upstairs," the girl said.
"Xiaoya, have you finished peeling the pine nuts?" The boss came over after collecting the money and told her, "Be careful and don't mix the shells in, otherwise Xiaoxi will lose his temper if he eats them!"
"Okay boss, I will definitely be very careful and I will not hurt the boss lady." The girl giggled.
Jiang Xiaobai's heart moved.
Xiaoxi? Boss lady?
After the boss finished explaining, he went to collect the money himself. He was responsible for ordering and collecting money, and the young clerk did all other work.
Jiang Xiaobai asked Xiaoya, "What's the boss's name?"
Xiaoya tilted her head, "Customers call him Fourth Uncle, Fourth Master, and Lao Zhuo. I don't know his specific name."
"Four?" Jiang You also realized something, "Is your store named after him?"
"It's named after the boss and the boss's wife!" Xiaoya said: "He is ranked fourth, and the boss's wife's name has Xi in it, so he calls her Xiao Xi, so the store is named Sixi."
Jiang You's eyes widened.
It turns out to be this Sixi?
"Then, what's the name of that meatball? Isn't it called Sixi?" he asked.
"If you don't scream, you really don't scream!"
Xiaoya originally wanted to say something, but she didn't know where she thought and shut up again.
The store is named after two people, but what about the name of the meatballs?
Jiang Xiaobai feels that the key lies with the landlady.
I just asked the boss for a reminder, and he only said his name was in the store.
This person in the store couldn't be referring to the proprietress, right?
If not, there should be other clues.
Jiang Xiaobai looked carefully into the room.
There is nothing special about the decorations. There is a printed menu on the wall, Chinese knots, several pictures of the dishes, and a calligraphy and painting.
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes turned around and stayed on the calligraphy and painting.
"Early Autumn Light Rain" Lu You
The rain washes away the heat in the lungs and liver, and the wind blows the fragrance of millet from afar.
Who knows the mountain old man's happy place, where the short candlelight lights up at the beginning of the night?
The painting is just a picture of light rain in the mountains. It is not by a famous artist. To be precise, it should be a low-quality mass-produced painting.
But this poem...
Jiang Xiaobai muttered softly: "Who knows where the mountain man is happy... happy... happy?"
Xi refers to the boss lady Xiao Xi?
Wouldn't that be joy...
Jiang Xiaobai's expression gradually became strange, as if he had been fed by something unexpected.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang You noticed Jiang Xiaobai's expression and thought she was a little depressed, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, let's find more people to ask and wait for some regular customers to come.
There will always be someone who knows the name of the dish."
There is nothing wrong with his suggestion. Without this painting, Jiang Xiaobai would have had the same idea.
But when I saw the painting, it was different.
"I seem to have guessed..."
Jiang Xiaobai looked away from the word "happy" and saw that the boss had just finished ordering food and walked over, "Boss, is the name of the meatballs 'happy meatballs'?"
"how do you know!"
The boss was suddenly stunned.
After he was stunned, he looked at Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, did you let it slip?"
"I didn't, I didn't say it!" Xiaoya stopped peeling pine nuts and quickly explained, "I almost said it just now, but I didn't say it in the end, I promise!"
"Then how did you know?" The boss looked at Jiang Xiaobai doubtfully.
"I know you are ranked fourth, and I also know that your wife's name is Xiaoxi. You said the clues are in the store, so I saw the words."
Jiang Xiaobai turned around and pointed. As he did so, he saw Jiang You looking confused. He couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then continued to explain: "Who knows where the mountain old man is happy... This sentence made me guess the meat ball."
The name might just be Happy Meatballs."
Jiang You:??
He obviously came earlier than Jiang Xiaobai, and he had obviously been staying in the store the whole time, and he had read everything in it. Why didn't he know what she was talking about?
What Xiaoxi, what fourth, what happy meatballs!
After listening to Jiang Xiaobai's words, he felt a little doubtful about life.
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes swept across his face and then looked away lightly.
Although this Jiang You looks good, his head seems to be a bit awkward.
Probably because there are at least six celebrities in each episode of the show, after the show is edited, there are fewer shots of each person, so the audience cannot see everything.
When Jiang Xiaobai watched previous programs, he just thought that everything about Jiang You was ordinary except for his appearance, but he seemed to be better at flirting with girls, so his popularity with girls was better.
But when we actually worked together as a team, we realized that he was not only ordinary, but also not clever.
Fortunately, I only participated in one period temporarily and was not his permanent teammate, otherwise...
"You're right. The name of the meatball is indeed 'Happy Meatball'. That was the name I chose thirty years ago. At first, I still called it, but as we got older, Xiaoxi became a little embarrassed.
I thought the name was a bit unseemly, so I gradually just called it 'Wanzi'."
