Aromas fill the kitchen.

The man who was cooking, named Draymond Davis, was thirty-nine years old Chinese New Year's Eve.

He used to be the second chef of Alinea, the only three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Chicago, and if it weren't for the fact that the chef was the owner's eldest son, he thought he would have become a head chef.

Because of Alinea's three signature dishes, barbecued potatoes, cold potato soup and black pine wontons, the ingredients and recipes are all made by him, so this two-Michelin-starred restaurant has been awarded a three-star status.

For the first half of his life, Draymond has always had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a happy and prosperous life.

But the good times didn't last long, in October 1989, his wife and son died in a car accident, and the other party hit and run, and now I don't know who did it, and it has become a mystery.

Poor his son was only four years old at the time, and Draymond was in pain for a long time, suffering from anxiety and mild depression.

The psychiatrist prescribed him a small dose of Anning tablets, which are extremely addictive, and for the next three years, he never left this thing, commonly known as "drug addiction".

The plot is less serious than drug use, but it's about the same, Draymond is fired from the restaurant and then spends a lot of money to buy drugs on the black market.

The job is gone, the money, the house, the car, and the family are gone.

Draymond lived the life of a homeless man, and at one point wanted to commit suicide, standing on the bridge several times, but did not have the courage to die.

It wasn't until '93 that he happened to meet a newly divorced New York woman who had a child who looked like his son.

The kind woman gave Draymond a quilt in the winter, and brought him something to eat every day when he went to work.

Although it was not very tasty, it was enough to warm Draymond's heart.

Before he knew it, Draymond found out that he liked her, and he made up his mind to quit his drug addiction.

After spending more than half a year in a drug rehabilitation center and enduring inhuman torture, he came out in April this year to find a decent job with his previous skills and go back to visit the woman.

But what high-end restaurant would accept a chef with this past?

Draymond would tell the restaurateurs what had happened in the hope of gaining sympathy, but after being turned away a few times, he concealed his experience working at Alinea's restaurant so that the other party could not find out that he was addicted to drugs.

At the beginning of the year, I successfully found a job in a mid-to-high-end restaurant in New York.

Sadly found that the superb craftsmanship of the past was now abandoned, and while helping people in the restaurant, he began to resume training.

Later, I happened to meet a former customer, and the owner of the restaurant found out his identity, and the next day he was forced to leave.

The New York Chefs Club announced the news, and all restaurants in New York knew about it, and the once famous chef of Alinea's restaurant, Draymond, was talked about as a joke.

When he went to look for a job, no one wanted him, and some small restaurants were willing, but that was not what Draymond wanted, so he wanted to try his luck at the recently popular Meet restaurant.

In the months I worked, my salary was used to buy ingredients, not to mention that I didn't save any money, and I also had a large overdraft from the bank, and I was penniless.

So, on a snowy night the other day, Draymond came up with such a bad idea before going to bed.

I want to let the manager of the meet restaurant discover his talent.

At this time, he found that Han Xuan was here, and he was even more happy, thinking that it was talents who shine everywhere, and seriously started sirloin steak.

Buffy's characteristic German sausage was spinning on the grill, mixing with the aroma of the steak, so that Han Xuan, who was hungry, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The sauce thickens.

Draymond tasted it again, scooped up the pot and scooped two spoonfuls of the sauce over top of the steak.

Take the carrot cubes, cut out a few lotus flowers, put a few lavender, put them aside, and said with a smile: "It's done, you can taste it, this is the real sirloin steak." ”

Han Xuan saw from the beginning to the end and understood that this guy did have a few brushes.

I didn't come to make trouble, but I also deliberately showed my skills, and I thought about it for only one purpose to find a job.

But what he did was too inadequate.

Discover Chef Queroy Bekele and can't wait to come and taste it.

Han Xuan quietly grabbed his clothes and didn't let him go, and said to Draymond with a wicked smile: "You taste it yourself first, see if it tastes right." ”

Draymond actually didn't have much confidence in his own dish, just now when he saw the surface of the beef in the Snow Mountain Ranch, those beautiful frost flowers, he knew that this kind of beef was different from the ordinary beef he had used before.

It may lead to a different taste, or maybe it will be different.

Wen Yan picked up a knife and fork, cut off a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth to chew, his face was full of enjoyment and self-absorption.

"Is it delicious?" Han Xuan then asked him.

How can a chef say that his food is not delicious, let alone really delicious.

Draymond was full of confidence and replied seriously: "Very good!"

"That's fine.

Quiroy, the customer is satisfied, and he doesn't charge for anything else, just asks him for money for this steak.

A total of 218 dollars, plus tips, almost $260, and when he finished eating, he gave him the bill. ”

Han Xuan sniffed the fragrance, smacked his lips and said, "It's really fragrant."

Huh, sir, why did your face turn green?

It can't be that you can't pay this money, right?"

“…… I'm in a hurry to go out today, maybe I forgot my wallet. ”

"That's going to be difficult, I don't have the money to ask the clerk at my restaurant to open a bottle of red wine for $8,500.

It's a scam, otherwise I'll ask the driver to take you home, or go to the bank, and you go get the money?"

Draymond's face suddenly turned greener, and he couldn't get so much money for killing him!

At that time, in order to pretend to be a rich man, I heard the waiter's recommendation and ordered a bottle of wine casually, who knew that it would be sold so expensive!

The face can no longer be calm.

Draymond didn't hear what he wanted to do to stay and become a chef here, so he simply recommended himself, "I can help you work and pay back the money."

You can try this dish first, I'll have a lot!"

"Everybody's heard, right?

Queroy, how about you go taste it, he let you eat it.

We'll help you testify in court, and you can't afford that $10,000. ”

Han Xuan spread his hands and said.

"Ten thousand?!

How did it become 10,000?"

Draymond's eyes widened, and when he looked at Han Xuan, he felt that "profiteer" was clearly written on the door of his head!

"You wasted four sirloin steaks, plus tips, so you can figure it out, and I also went out of my way to give you a discount. ”

The kitchen was already hot, and Quiroy was sweating.

I thought no wonder Han Xuan didn't let me taste it just now, this pit was really dug

That's great!

Seeing the arrogant Draymond before, he obediently jumped down the pit and buried himself with soil, which was indescribably comfortable.

The revenge has been avenged, Chef Queroy drank some water to moisten his mouth, changed the deputy knife and fork, and tasted the taste.

I drank red wine and tasted another piece.

I thought it tasted really good, but when it came to my mouth, I said, "I can eat it, the level of a third-rate chef, it's average." ”

"That's right. ”

Han Xuan said: "If you want to be private, then be private, don't go to the police station."

Give you a salary of 2,500 yuan a month, pay you 1,000 yuan as living expenses, and the rest of the restaurant will be deducted to pay off debts, do you think it will work?"

"What job?"

"Doing chores, handling raw materials, washing dishes, etc., will let you work for half a year, and the remaining $1,000 will be used as a reward. ”

Han Xuan showed an expression of "you have made a lot of money" at the right time.

Angry, Draymond's lungs hurt, his face turned from blue to red, and he exclaimed, "I used to be a three-Michelin-starred chef!

The surrounding apprentices and handymen suddenly looked unhappy, didn't they look down on people.

Han Xuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then there is no way, who will help me call the police?"

A cow only has so much meat, it's already pitiful to be eaten, and you have to waste it.

Do you know how many grapes you have to die for that bottle of wine to be made?"

When Draymond heard the police, he immediately wilted.

I thought in my mind that I could get a thousand yuan a month, less or less, but I ate and drank here, enough to live on my own.

Maybe there's a chance to climb up and get back to the chef's position?

Gritted his teeth and said this: "...... Okay, but you have to wrap it up, I don't have a place to live. ”

"Help him arrange it, remember the social guarantee number, and don't run. ”

Han Xuan held back a smile and walked outside the kitchen, where he heard the voice of a handyman: "Chef Samsung, come and peel the potatoes!

"Please wait. ”

Draymond took off his suit and rolled up his sleeves, looking dejected.

Pick up the bottle of red wine worth more than 8,000 US dollars and pour the whole bottle into your mouth, it takes half a year of work to get it, you can't waste it.

The manager walked up to him with a pen, looked up and asked Draymond, "How much is the Social Security number?"

Don't mess around, I'll have someone investigate. ”

"Alas...... What a child, isn't this a robber!"

"In the words of our boss, don't be blind BB, it's better for a small boss than a fraudster!"

"I'm a chef!"

"Oh, you go to work and drink, deduct fifty. ”

In such a short period of time, he offended the manager, the chef, and the handyman.

It looks like Draymond's next days at Meet will be full (to be continued.) )
