Chapter 15 Convincing.

"May I ask what is your name?" Cao Wei asked just when Li Liao was at his most desperate.

"He's asking my name?" Li Liao turned his head, his face full of excitement, now that Xu Kuan has lost, he has no future if he continues to follow him.

If Cao Wei is interested in himself and can let himself continue to be the second-in-command, what can he do if he licks him?

"My name is Li Liao, if the little brother doesn't give up..."

"Wait. Cao Wei interrupted directly and looked back at Yue Lin: "Xiao Linlin, this Li Liao looks like a thief, he must have done a lot of things to steal chickens and dogs, and staying in our restaurant must be a scourge, what do you say!"

"Wait a minute... Isn't he interested in me?" Li Liao seemed to realize something.

Yue Lin touched his chin and pretended to think for a while, and said, "Brother Cao is right, staying in our restaurant like this black sheep will only ruin our reputation, why don't you let him roll up and leave now?"

"I think it's doable. Cao Wei nodded.

Li Liao suddenly collapsed, and hurriedly ran to Yue Lin and knelt down, hugged Yue Lin's thigh, and cried and shouted: "Boss! I've been with you for so many years, you can't quit me..."

Yue Lin looked at Li Liao with a sympathetic expression: "Xiao Li, it's not that I don't want to keep you, it's just that everyone can't tolerate you." ”

"Everyone?" Li Liao looked at the other chefs.

Usually these chefs are whispering to themselves.

But now, everyone has a cold light in their eyes, and they wish they could get out of here.

"No, I can't leave the food life, I want to become a chef!" Li Liao made up his mind and ran towards Xu Kuan on his knees.

"Master Xu, can you bear to watch me go?"

Xu Kuan's eyes were full of disgust.

I didn't expect that the apprentice who I had been teaching for so long didn't even want the last bit of backbone.

"Now the master and I can't protect myself, you stay here and follow me to suffer, it's better to find a good job elsewhere and live a good life. ”

"No!" Li Liao stood up abruptly and stared at Cao Wei viciously.

If it weren't for Cao Wei's appearance, he might even become a chef and marry a blonde and blue-eyed foreign lady.

But now because of Cao Wei, not only is his dream shattered, but he will also lose his job, and he doesn't know if he can find such a good job in the future.

"I'm going to compete with you! If you lose, I'm the chef. Li Liao pointed at Cao Wei.

Cao Wei looked around.

Xu Kuan shook his head helplessly.

How much ability Li Liao has, he as a master knows it very well.

"Xiao Li, I think it's better to forget it, I'll add a hundred euros to you when the salary is settled, do you think it's okay?" Yue Lin persuaded on the side.

"No! I'm going to compare with him, isn't he amazing? Isn't he very good at cooking? Is he cowardly now?" Li Liaoxian was a little crazy.

Cao Wei nodded and said calmly: "You are an apprentice chef, I won't bully you, we don't compare cooking, we compare juice, whoever can make delicious juice in five minutes wins." ”

"Okay!" Li Liao agreed, and took the initiative to walk to the position of chef, the position he dreamed of.

Cao Wei smiled calmly and walked to the position of the second chef.

"Let's go. Yue Lin took the initiative to shout.

Li Liao immediately took a small bowl of water and added star anise, bay leaves, peppercorns and other seasonings.

Cao Wei glanced at the left and right of the pot, and there was still a little material left for Xu Kuan to make sweet and sour pork ribs just now.

I didn't think much about it, I took a small bowl of water and poured it into the pot, carefully observed the water temperature, and when it reached a certain level, put in a few spoonfuls of sugar and vinegar, plus a little seasoning, slowly stirred evenly, and then took out and put it in a bowl.

Li Liao, who was also busy on the side, was also busy for five minutes, and after mixing the juice and pouring it into the bowl.

"Can I taste it?" Yue Lin felt that Cao Wei's cooking skills were extraordinary since he ate Cao Wei's tofu, and he was eager to taste the sweet and sour sauce made by Cao Wei.

"Wait! I asked my master to taste it. Li Liao shouted, obviously not believing Yue Lin.

Xu Kuan exhaled deeply, stepped forward, and looked at Yue Lin.

"It's okay, you're his master. Although Yue Lin was reluctant, he still handed over the spoon in his hand.

Xu Kuan took the spoon and took the lead in looking at the juice made by Li Liao.

It is pitch black and has a scent of vinegar and star anise.

Xu Kuan put the spoon into the juice and stirred it slightly, and found that there was still some residue.

Without saying anything more, I scooped up a spoonful and put it in my mouth and savored it.

Truth be told, the flavors of the various spices are not incorporated into the juice.

Even because some spices and seasonings are put in the wrong order, they collide with a taste that is difficult to swallow.

"No, I can't. Xu Kuan reluctantly swallowed it and said.

Li Liao was stunned, and he felt disheartened.

Xu Kuan then looked at the sweet and sour sauce made by Cao Wei.

The color is black and yellow, and it smells a little sweet and sour, but it is not pungent, but there is an urge to smoke it a few more times.

Of course, the protagonist is still the taste.

So Xu Kuanxiao hesitated for a while, spooned a small spoonful of sweet and sour sauce and put it in his mouth to taste.

"It's... This..."Xu Kuan closed his eyes, as if he had traveled to another time and space.

Xu Kuan himself often makes sweet and sour sauce, so he knows that the perfect combination of vinegar and sugar is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and it is necessary to master the heat, water temperature, and the accuracy of cutting.

Yue Lin on the side was already impatient, and hurriedly snatched the spoon and put a small mouth into his mouth.

The taste buds exploded instantly, and the sweet and sour juice slipped from the tip of the tongue to the tongue, and then entered the stomach, which seemed to make people feel like they had gone through a whole period of life.

"Could this be the real sweet and sour sauce in the legend!" Yue Lin closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Li Liao gritted his teeth, picked up a new spoon and scooped a small bite into his mouth.

At that moment, he was stunned, and countless images seemed to flash in his mind, and he even had a hint of realization.

"I lost!" Li Liao said with his eyes closed and tears in his eyes.

Cao Wei smiled and didn't say anything.

The other chefs also hurriedly tasted the small bite.

They all smiled happily.

"Okay, Li Liao, I don't know if you are convinced?" Yue Lin opened his eyes and asked.

"I'll settle the salary myself, please rest assured. Li Liao didn't make it difficult for anyone this time, but after looking back at Cao Wei in a complicated way, he took off his chef's hat and left the kitchen.

"Alas, the talent is okay, but this character needs to be trained. Xu Kuan also opened his eyes at this time and sighed.

Cao Wei directly forgot about Li Liao's episode at this time and looked at Xu Kuan.

"Master Xu, I don't know if you are convinced?"

"When it comes to cooking, I'm willing to bow down and be your second-in-command. Xu Kuan said very politely.

Cao Wei and Yue Lin looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"Xiao Xuxu, I'm used to being prodigal, so the position of this chef is still yours, and we can talk about the salary slowly. Cao Wei walked over, grabbed Xu Kuan's shoulders and spoke.
