Chapter 512: Level by Level
When the results of the investigation were announced, the whole village was in an uproar. The villagers were happy for Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei, knowing that they had wrongly accused good people. Some villagers even spontaneously organized a celebration to thank Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei for their contributions to the village.
Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei, Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng were moved by the changes in the villagers. They knew that this experience made them realize the importance of trust more deeply. They also strengthened their belief and worked hard for the development of the village and the happiness of the villagers.
After many twists and turns, Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang's life finally got back on track. They decided to start a new chapter in their career and open a small restaurant in the countryside to provide delicious food for villagers and tourists.
Although Qi Tongwei's cooking skills were not good, he had a spirit of not admitting defeat. He knew his shortcomings in cooking and took the initiative to ask Gao Yuliang for advice. Gao Yuliang had dabbled in cooking when he was young and his cooking skills were indeed good. Seeing Qi Tongwei's enthusiasm and determination, he readily agreed to teach him.
At first, Qi Tongwei seemed flustered in the kitchen. When cutting vegetables, his knife skills were rough, either the cuts were too thick or the cuts were uneven. When cooking, he couldn't control the heat well, either the vegetables were burnt or not cooked. Gao Yuliang patiently guided him, carefully explaining everything from the selection of ingredients, cutting and cooking techniques.
"Tongwei, you have to cut the vegetables rhythmically. Don't cut them randomly. You see, the vegetables cut this way are uniform in size and can be heated evenly when cooking." Gao Yuliang said as he demonstrated how to cut vegetables.
Qi Tongwei watched carefully, nodded continuously, and then tried to cut it himself. Although he was still not very skilled, he had made obvious progress.
Gao Yuliang also gave his full advice on cooking. "When cooking, the heat is crucial. High heat can quickly lock in the moisture of the ingredients and keep the taste fresh and tender; low heat can slowly stew the ingredients and make them more flavorful." Gao Yuliang said as he adjusted the heat of the stove.
Qi Tongwei observed carefully and memorized every detail. He began to try to cook according to Gao Yuliang's instructions. Although there were still some minor problems occasionally, he continued to sum up his experience and his cooking skills gradually improved.
As time went by, their small restaurant gradually gained some fame. Gao Yuliang made delicious dishes with his superb cooking skills. He has many specialties, and the most anticipated one is the Manchu Han banquet he is going to make.
Gao Yuliang put a lot of thought into preparing the Manchu-Han Banquet. He first carefully studied the menu of the Manchu-Han Banquet to understand the characteristics and cooking methods of each dish. Then, he personally went to the market to select the freshest ingredients and strictly controlled each ingredient.
After returning to the restaurant, Gao Yuliang began his intensive preparations. He first washed and cut the ingredients and placed them neatly on the kitchen counter. Then, he lit the stove, adjusted the heat, and began to cook the first dish.
The kitchen was filled with tempting aromas, and Gao Yuliang was busy with his work, concentrating on it. He skillfully stir-fried, seasoned, and stewed, and every movement was full of rhythm. His face was filled with a confident smile, as if he was creating an art.
The first dish came out of the pot, a roast duck with good color, aroma and taste. The skin of the roast duck was golden and crispy, the meat was tender and juicy, and it exuded a rich aroma. Gao Yuliang looked at his work with satisfaction, and then continued to prepare the next dish.
The following dishes were more exciting than the last, including the tender and smooth steamed fish, the fragrant braised pork, the rich and tasty Buddha Jumps Over the Wall... Each dish showed Gao Yuliang's superb cooking skills.
During the preparation of the Manchu-Han Banquet, Qi Tongwei also helped out. Although he could not prepare these complex dishes independently, he actively learned and accumulated experience for his cooking skills.
When the Manchu-Han Banquet was finished, the whole restaurant was enveloped by the aroma of delicious food. Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei looked at the table of sumptuous dishes and felt a sense of accomplishment. They knew that this was not only a table of delicious food, but also the result of their hard work.
In order to let more people taste the Manchu-Han Banquet, they decided to hold a food event. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused great interest among villagers and tourists. On the day of the event, the restaurant was full and people were looking forward to this food feast.
Gao Yuliang personally introduced the characteristics and historical background of each dish, allowing everyone to understand the profoundness of Chinese food culture while tasting the food. Qi Tongwei was busy serving the guests to ensure that every guest could enjoy the best dining experience.
The guests tasted the Manchu-Han Banquet and praised it highly. They were impressed by Gao Yuliang's cooking skills and admired the efforts of Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang. This food event not only made their small restaurant famous, but also brought more popularity and vitality to the village.
As the restaurant's business became better and better, Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei began to think about how to further expand the scale. They planned to recruit some chefs and waiters to improve the restaurant's service quality and reception capacity. At the same time, they also planned to develop some special dishes to meet the needs of different guests.
In the process, they also encountered some difficulties and challenges. For example, it is not easy to recruit suitable chefs, and it takes a lot of time and energy to screen and train them. Developing special dishes also requires constant attempts and innovations, and sometimes they will fail. However, they were not defeated by these difficulties, but actively sought solutions.
Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei know that only by continuous efforts can the hotel continue to develop. They believe that as long as they persist, they will be able to realize their dreams.
With their efforts, the small restaurant has gradually become a business card of the village. More and more people come here to taste the food and feel the tranquility and beauty of the countryside. Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei, Liang Lu and Gao Xiaofeng are filled with joy as they look at the prosperous scene of the restaurant. They know that their efforts have not been in vain and they have brought new hope for the development of the village.
With the success of the small restaurant, Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang's prestige in the village grew. As they watched their lives gradually get back on track, they began to plan for the future of Gao Xiaofeng and Gao Yuliang's son. Education became their biggest concern.
They decided to find a suitable kindergarten and primary school for their children so that they could receive a good education. With full expectations, they came to the local primary school. However, they were greeted by the principal's difficulties.
