Chapter 10: Challenges (I)
"Why is it all in English?" Liu Mang took the document and looked at it, frowning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Oh, these are very formulaic terms! Like this one, it's subject to the group arrangement or something. Again, it's about your benefits. And this one, this is you... Li Ruonan took the trouble to explain.
"Alright, alright. I believe you, needless to say. Liu Mang turned directly to the last page and signed his name.
"Welcome to EMI Group. Li Ruonan locked the documents in the safe and shook hands with Liu Mang again.
"Now that you're part of the group, I'll show you around where we work. ”
"Where do you work? Forget it, I'd better go home early. Liu Mang yawned, looking disinterested.
"I promise you'll be interested, we work in a place that's not just about the office. Li Ruonan said mysteriously and led Liu Mang outside.
"Oh my God, what did I see, who was that man next to Mr. Li, and how close you were to her?" said a female clerk.
"Mr. Li is actually laughing? This is something I haven't seen in a long time?"
"It's over, my goddess!
"Fortunately, I haven't offended him yet, is he really Mr. Li's boyfriend?" Xiao Chengcheng looked happy.
。。。。。。。
If Liu Mang knew what these employees were thinking at this time, he would definitely crash to death on the wall.
Walking to the floor below with Liu Mang, Li Ruonan violently pushed open the door: "Welcome to the world of food!"
Liu Mang's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that what appeared in front of him was a huge kitchen of thousands of square meters.
In this kitchen, hundreds of chefs are busy on the all-metal cooktop, and the sound of a kitchen knife clapping a cutting board and a wok and spoon colliding is a beautiful music.
"How's that? Shocked, isn't it? This place is the R&D center of our EMI Group, and it is also the top priority of the group! All the dishes of the group's more than 3,000 restaurants and more than 500 hotels are developed here. Li Ruonan was a little proud when he saw Liu Mang's expression.
"Hello Miss!" Seeing Li Ruonan walk in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over curiously.
"You're busy, I'm just taking someone to take a casual look. Li Ruonan waved his hand.
"Ruonan, why do you have time to come here today?" a middle-aged man greeted him with two people.
He wears a chef's uniform with gold buttons on the top and black striped pants on the bottom. With a straight nose, slender eyes, and three long whiskers on his chin, he looks less like a chef than a pioneer poet.
"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Gu Feng, who is currently the deputy director of our R&D department. This is Mr. Liu Mang, a talent I have just recruited and will also be a candidate for the next minister. ”
"What?" Gu Feng's originally smiling face immediately froze, and his outstretched right hand froze in mid-air.
"Mr. Li, is your suggestion inappropriate?" After a pause in the awkward atmosphere, a fat chef behind Gu Feng asked in a speech.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Li Ruonan raised an eyebrow.
"The R&D department is different from any other department in the group, this department has always been independent of the outside of the group, and the management personnel are promoted from within the department, let alone the leaders of the entire department. Ever since Master Lin went into hiding, the position of this minister has been vacant, and now a young boy who has run out of nowhere has suddenly appeared, saying that he wants to be the minister?
"Again, I'm a little bit of a little bit of a bad thinker. But I'm very optimistic about this Mr. Liu Mang, so what do you say?" Li Ruonan said after thinking for a while.
"It's easy!" the fat chef ripped off his hat, walked over to the kitchen table, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed it on the vegetable mound.
"We are chefs, we rely on our skills to eat, if we want to serve the public, then we have to see the real chapter under our hands!
"Okay, what's the comparison?" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes, and there was an aggressive light flickering in them.
"Don't say I'm bullying the newcomer, so be it, I'll make a dish, as long as you do it as well as I have eight points, then you win. ”
"I agree. Gu Feng nodded.
"I don't have an opinion, Mr. Liu Mang, you must know that these people are all old people who follow my father, and I don't have much right to force them, so 。。。。。。 ”
Li Ruonan looked a little embarrassed, but in fact, there was also an idea in his heart that he wanted to see his cooking skills. After all, she was not there when Liu Mang made egg fried rice last time, she just watched the live broadcast from TV, and she didn't taste it herself, and there was still a trace of doubt in her heart.
"No problem. Please. Liu Mang said lightly, his heart was already eager to try, this is like a martial arts master who practices swords alone, and finally waits for a powerful challenger.
The fat chef didn't talk nonsense, he directly took a few pears, picked his fingers, and a carving knife flicked into his hand, like a western cowboy in a movie, and he pulled a few knife flowers, and began to carve them.
His knife movements are very fast, and every knife is easy to go down, and he will never drag the mud and water. In just a few breaths, a few pears made him carve into a few beautiful lotus flowers.
"Master!" Liu Mang was shocked, this fat chef looked fat, but his cooking skills were really amazing, just with this quick carving skill, he was better than some professional carvers.
After the lotus flower is carved, the fat chef puts a wok on the shelf, puts half a pot of water, and adds a few spoonfuls of rock sugar and a little oil to start boiling.
"It was originally prepared to be cooked with frost. Liu Mang nodded secretly.
Hanging cream is a technique that is rarely used in Chinese cuisine, and it is somewhat similar to silk drawing. Boil the mixture of sugar, water and oil in a pot until it bubbles, then add the ingredients and stir, and wait until it is coated with a layer of syrup, and after it cools slightly, the surface of the ingredients will form a similar effect after frosting. It's easy to say, but it's really not easy to do it well, and it's very important to have a chef's skills.
The temperature of the syrup and the amount of time the ingredients spend in the pot are the most important, and the slightest mistake can be wasted, so some veteran chefs rarely try to make such dishes.
And the hanging cream is usually made of nuts, but this fat chef is now using Sydney, and it is also carved into a flower-shaped, and the action is slightly larger, which will immediately destroy the shape of the petals, which makes everyone sweat for him.
The sugar juice in the pot soon bubbled up, and the fat chef moved gently, put the lotus flower in, and quickly turned the pot。。。。。。
After looking forward to it, the dish was completed.
"Step by step!
The lotus flowers are hung with a layer of white frost clothes, placed in an emerald green disc covered with crushed ice, crystal clear, beautiful, really like a holy lotus flower with snow on the peak of the Tianshan Mountains.
"Okay!" Seeing that the fat chef successfully completed the dish, everyone around him applauded.
"Master Zhu's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"
Li Ruonan picked up a lotus flower and put it to his mouth, took a bite of it gently, and praised it again and again: "Yes, yes, the sweetness and crispness of Sydney pears are not destroyed by hot sugar juice, but completely retained, and the sweetness is also adjusted just right, combined with the taste of Sydney itself, which makes people have an endless aftertaste!"
Hearing Li Ruonan praise himself, the fat chef looked proud, and glanced at Liu Mang provocatively: "Do you still need to compare? Young man, where are you from, or where are you going, this place is not for you!"
"That's not seen!" Liu Mang smiled faintly and rolled up his sleeves: "In my dictionary, there has never been a word to admit defeat!"
