Chapter 001: Is This Still Worth Comparison?

Next Chapter

Qizhou City Food Street, autumn afternoon.

A beautiful young woman dressed in a professional skirt waited anxiously at the door of the Yandu Hotel.

Looking at the few diners in the store, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.

The young woman's name is Li Lingjuan, and she is the new owner of the Yandu Hotel.

Three months ago, several chefs of the Yandu Hotel collectively jumped ship and went to the Mingmanlou opposite, without the chef, the quality of the restaurant's dishes plummeted.

But at this time, Yao Yi, a well-known food connoisseur in the city, quietly patronized the Yandu Hotel, and then posted a Weibo to approve the Yandu Hotel as worthless.

After the local media rushed to report, this Weibo brought a devastating blow to the Yandu Hotel, not only the diners who patronized the Yandu Hotel are getting fewer and fewer, but even the chefs with real skills are not willing to come to the Yandu Hotel.

In just three months, the hotel has lost more than 100,000 yuan, and the loss amount is still growing.

In desperation, Li Lingjuan had to use her father's relationship to ask Genbo to go to Rongcheng to invite a chef back, wanting to change the previous decline.

And today is the first day of the chef's arrival.

More than ten minutes later, a brand-new Audi A8 stopped in front of the hotel.

Genber hurriedly got out of the co-pilot, opened the back door attentively, and said something to the people in the car with a smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, a handsome man in his thirties in a crisp suit, with a handsome appearance and an elegant temperament, got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, the man glanced at the Yandu Hotel in front of him, his eyes showed a trace of disdain, tilted his head, and walked straight towards the hotel, ignoring Genber, who was standing aside and whispering.

The man's name is Lin Yang, and he is one of the chefs of Rongcheng Star Picking Building, and compared with the Star Picking Building, the Yandu Hotel is much inferior in terms of fame and scale.

This time, if it weren't for the boss of Xingxinglou who came forward in person and made a promise that he couldn't refuse, he would never have come to a third-tier city like Qizhou to develop.

Genber looked a little embarrassed, but only for a moment, he followed with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Li Lingjuan, who was standing at the door of the hotel, hurriedly tidied up her hair, which was a little messy by the breeze, and greeted her with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, this is the owner of our Yandu Hotel, Miss Li Lingjuan. Genbo hurriedly introduced to Lin Yang.

"Hello Miss Li, my name is Lin Yang, I graduated from the Old Oriental Chef Cooking School, I have obtained the title of senior technician, and I am one of the chefs of the Star Picking Building!" Lin Yang couldn't help but light up when he saw the young and beautiful Li Lingjuan, changed his previous arrogant attitude, and stretched out a hand to Li Lingjuan with a warm smile.

"Mr. Lin is really young and promising, he has obtained the title of senior technician at such a young age!" Li Lingjuan shook hands with Lin Yang politely, and said some compliments in her mouth.

After some politeness, the group went straight into the Yandu Hotel.

I have to say that Lin Yang does have some skills, from the beginning of entering the restaurant, he and Li Lingjuan patiently talked about their experience and unique insights on making various dishes, many novel cooking techniques, even if it is Genbo, who has been engaged in the catering industry for nearly 30 years, it is the first time I have heard of it.

Even the staff of the restaurant gathered in front of Lin Yang and listened carefully, for them, this was tantamount to a professional lesson in chef skills.

Genbo had long forgotten Lin Yang's previous invincible posture, and he felt that this time he had picked up a treasure, and with Lin Yang, the Yandu Hotel would definitely usher in a second spring.

Li Lingjuan was also full of joy, and talked to Lin Yang in a respectful tone.

"Excuse me, are you looking for a chef here?" a calm voice rang out as they were talking.

Several people couldn't help but look at the door, only to see a young man of twenty-four or five years old standing at the door of the hotel.

The young man has lean short round hair, resolute and handsome facial features, and a muscular figure, which looks refreshing.

But this guy was wearing a somewhat tattered T-shirt and a pair of white-washed jeans, and the sneakers on his feet were torn with several big holes, and he was carrying a dirty yellow cloth bag in his hand.

Rao is outfit was washed exceptionally clean by him, but at the moment it looked a little out of place, and even naturally made people have a trace of disdain and contempt for him.

"Go, go, we don't have a shortage of manpower!" a staff member beckoned to the young man impatiently, obviously dissatisfied with his interruption of Lin Yang's "lecture".

"But isn't there a job posting at the door of the hotel?" asked the young man, a little puzzled.

"Young man, today we have invited a special chef, the restaurant does not need a chef for the time being, I'm really sorry!" Without waiting for the staff to attack, Genber said with a slight smile.

In fact, the recruitment notice at the door has been posted for more than two months, but the chef has not recruited any of them, but has attracted a group of stunned people who have no skills, and the hotel staff have long been annoyed with this kind of person.

Judging from the way the young man dresses, he definitely belongs to the kind of half-baked chef, Lin Yang just arrived today, and it would not be good if the staff and this young man had a conflict, so Genbo took the initiative to resolve it.

But who would have thought that what the young man said next made everyone present drop their jaws in shock.

"Special chef, that's just right, maybe I'll need someone to chop vegetables and do chores later!"

Several staff members looked the young man in front of them up and down with stupid expressions.

Genbo and Li Lingjuan stared at the young man with some vigilance, the first thing they thought of was, could this guy be specially arranged by Mingmanlou to provoke them to recruit Lin Yang, right?

", are you funny? Let the special chef do you do something like that? I think you're looking for a fight!" a staff member was the first to react, scolding angrily and waving to the two security guards at the door.

The scene just now, the two security guards also saw it in their eyes, and they were also holding their breath in their hearts, but they knew that there was a boss and a guest today, so they didn't dare to move, and when they saw someone greeting them at the moment, they couldn't care so much, and rushed straight to the young man.

Li Lingjuan and Genbo didn't say anything when they saw this, and they acquiesced in the security guard's behavior.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when the security guard was about to attack the young man, Lin Yang suddenly stood up and said unhurriedly.

When the two security guards heard this, they forcibly withdrew the hand that had been stretched out, and looked at Lin Yang in confusion.

Li Lingjuan and Genbo also looked at Lin Yang with puzzled faces.

Lin Yang smiled at Li Lingjuan, and then slowly spoke.

"Haha, since this little brother dares to say this, he must also have some real skills, why don't we compare them? If you win, little brother, I am willing to chop vegetables and do chores for you, if I win by luck, then please apologize to Miss Li and me in person, after all, it was Miss Li who invited me over, and if you question me, you are undoubtedly doubting Miss Li's vision......"

As soon as everyone heard Lin Yang's words, they all had a better impression of him, and after suffering such insults, they were still so polite, and they really had the demeanor of a master.

Even Li Lingjuan couldn't help but glance at Lin Yang a few more times.

Lin Yang stared at the young man in front of him with a smile, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to step forward and beat this young man violently.

He only got the special chef certificate at the age of thirty, and he became one of the chefs of the Star Picking Building, but at this moment he was despised by this kid as a miscellaneous man?

For him, how can he swallow this breath?

But with such a big beauty as Li Lingjuan by his side, he was not easy to attack, so he forcibly suppressed this evil breath.

And he knew in his heart that his unique opinion on cooking just now only calmed everyone on the scene in words, and there was no real hammer.

A stepping stone was sent in vain in front of him, how could he let it go easily, and after a while, in front of everyone, he could not help but be angry, and he could make his position in the Yandu Hotel more solid, and add some weight to his salary when he talked about his salary.

The most important thing is that with her superb cooking skills, she will definitely double the good impression of Li Lingjuan, a big beauty, and Lin Yang feels that doing this by himself can be described as a hundred benefits and no harm.

"Interesting, how do you want to compare?" said the young man with an expressionless face.

"It's simple, let's go to the back kitchen now, each cook a dish, and Miss Li will be the judge, whoever makes the better taste wins, how about it?" After Lin Yang finished speaking, he looked at Li Lingjuan with an inquiring eye.

Li Lingjuan is naturally happy about this, she is also worried that she will spend a lot of money to recruit a chef who can only talk on paper, and she also wants to witness Lin Yang's cooking skills in person.

"All right!" replied the young man, still expressionless.

"Hmph, look at how I crush you in a while!" The young man's attitude made Lin Yang very unhappy, and he secretly scolded in his heart.

A crowd poured into the back kitchen.

Lin Yang looked at it in the fresh-keeping cabinet, then took out a freshly slaughtered river fish, took the corresponding side dishes, and came to the operation table.

He is going to make a boiled fish fillet, although this dish is the most common dish, but it is more troublesome to deal with, and there are really not many chefs who can really make this dish to the extreme.

The young man did not go to the crisper to pick up the ingredients, but took out a small bag of rice from the earthy yellow bag he brought, and then tinkered with a small wooden steamer, which seemed to be ready to cook?

Lin Yang didn't understand what the young man was going to cook, so he smiled and ignored it, and began to deal with the ingredients.

For top chefs, it is necessary to evenly cut the fish fillets into small slices that are one millimeter thick or even thinner, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the fish fillets are not broken when cooked, and are slightly rolled up into waves, which is difficult to see.

The staff at the scene naturally knew the way here, and stood aside one by one, quietly watching what Lin Yang was going to do with the fish fillet.

I saw Lin Yang gently pick up a medium-slice knife on the knife holder, and brushed it on the fish a few times with lightning speed, then put down the medium-slice knife, and then pinched the fish head with two fingers.

Then he pulled it gently, and pulled out the entire fish bone and the fish head!

Not only did there not have the slightest scratch on the bones, but there was not even a trace of excess flesh sticking to it.

Everyone present was stunned, Rao is Genbo, who has been doing catering for nearly thirty years, was also deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe that such a young Lin Yang actually had such a subtle knife technique!

After Lin Yang took out the fish skeleton, he picked up the middle slice knife again, gently pressed the fish tail with his left hand, and then the middle slice knife and the fish body showed a nearly parallel angle, and swiped lightly.

A piece of fish fillet as thin as a cicada's wings was removed, and after being removed, because the fillet was so thin, it naturally rolled up slightly, showing the so-called wavy shape!

Lin Yang's hand speed when handling the fish body was so fast that everyone's eyes couldn't keep up, and it only took about three minutes for a whole fish to be cut into even slices and placed neatly in the fish plate.

Looking at the fish fillets as thin as cicada wings, each slice was slightly curled, even if it had not been cooked, everyone present wanted to dip it in the old vinegar and have a slice.

At this moment, Lin Yang is already a god-like existence in the eyes of everyone, is this sword skill really something that people can achieve?

Look at the young people on the side, still unhurried - cooking rice? Is there any point in such a competition? The outcome should have already been clear, right?

However, Genber has a trace of doubts, such a thin fillet is used to make boiled fish, it is impossible to ensure that the fish will not be scattered, if it is scattered, then no matter how thin the fish is, it will not make much sense, after all, from the appearance, there is no desire to eat.

However, the next scene completely dispelled Genber's doubts......
