Episode 214 Transaction
Listening to Zheng Ke's words, Xuan Li pursed her lips and waved her hand at Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke carried a backpack and a knife box, followed Xuan Li, and entered her office.
"You said you asked to participate in the training camp for the sake of the-blue?" Xuan Li put down her bag and sat down on the sofa chair behind the boss's desk.
"Yes. ”
Because he had already communicated with Xuan Li on the phone, Zheng Ke answered very simply.
"You know what? I started to think that you would fail in the national competition, because the national competition in Japan is really difficult, but you have already qualified from the national competition, but you are asking for intensive training because of the Asian competition, are you kidding?" Xuan Li pursed her lips with a dissatisfied expression.
Zheng Ke rubbed his hands, "Sister Li, do you want to listen to what I mean?"
Xuan Li rolled her eyes, "I don't want to listen to your heart, why am I sitting here?
Zheng Ke sneered, "Sister Li, you misunderstood me." First of all, this game is very important for me. I've been in Engetsu Gakuen for almost two years, and I've seen a lot of outstanding chefs of the younger generation in Japan, or I've been in contact with them. So, when I knew I could go out and see young chefs from all over the world, I felt, for me, this was a rare opportunity and I wanted to seize it.
"Secondly, although the flow of this competition has not yet come out, the competition is only one week long. For a competition with only 10 people, I think you should know very well how intense it is. It's completely different from the national races, where I don't have much time to think about which dish is better. This requires that any dish I make must be a masterpiece.
"Thirdly, the rules say that there are 1.5 places in the Asian competition, but to be honest, I don't think the 0.5 places are of any use. After several rounds of competition, the players will be under great pressure physically and psychologically, and may even reach the limit, at this time, I don't have so much confidence to compete with another player who is waiting for work for the remaining spot. Actually, not only me, but even Senior Sister Kikuchi, will be under a lot of pressure, right?"
Xuan Li listened to Zheng Ke's words, and also fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "I understand the reason why you do this, but if you only make Chinese dishes, you may be limited by the topic, in case the competition has to use other cuisines......"
Zheng Ke shook his index finger and chuckled.
"I've thought about it too. However, the contestants come from all over Asia, so they are not limited to a certain cuisine. In other words, even if it is a designated cuisine, Western food is the most likely, and other cuisines, such as Japanese cuisine - Senpai, I have studied Japanese cuisine for more than a year, and players from other countries should not have much exposure to it, right? At all, I am not worried at all - in addition, I will take a week to visit Senior Shiraishi and ask him to make up for me again. ”
Xuan Li pursed her lips, looked at Zheng Ke with a smug face, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
This stinky boy counted her and Bai Shilongyi into it......
"Now that you've got your plans in place, it's time to talk about things between us. You can train with me, but you have to give something, right?"
"Money?" Zheng Ke asked tentatively.
"Money, your sister. Do you have as much money as I do? Kihara Shu will lend me another month. I've just recruited someone, and I guess it will take a month to stand alone. Xuanli clasped her hands on her chest and leaned on the back of the chair.
Zheng Ke scratched his head, just now Mu Yuan Xiu looked at him, full of expectation, did he just abandon him?
Xuan Li looked at Zheng Ke impatiently, and couldn't help but slap the table, "Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it. Zheng Ke immediately sat up straight, "Let him stay here for another week!"
"Huh, did I hear me right? I said a month. Xuanli was by Zheng Ke.
"Absolutely not. You think, I've been here for a week, so it's only fair that he's working for you for so long. Zheng Ke nodded, deeply convinced.
"What's fair? I give you recipes, counseling, tastings, and they're all for free?" asked Xuanli rhetorically.
"Well, two weeks...... Senior sister, Junketing is also in great need of Chinese chefs. Zheng Ke said seriously.
"Well, just two weeks, but you have to go and tell him yourself, you have to keep him here. ”
Zheng Ke smiled bitterly, this senior sister really likes to see other people's jokes.
"Can you get him to make a dish? I'm going to try it." Zheng Ke pondered for a moment and made a request.
Xuan Li nodded, called Xuan Hua, and asked her to inform Mu Yuan Xiu to make a dish and bring it over.
Xuan Hua ran out in a hurry, and Xuan Li took the opportunity to throw a recipe to Zheng Ke, "I know, it's not realistic to memorize too many recipes in a week, this is a recipe that I added later, you can take a look at it first during this time, right?"
Zheng Ke took the recipe, it was not too thick, only one hundred and ten pages, he took a rough look, there should be more than sixty recipes.
"Sister Li, you just said that I can ask you to try it, right?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.
"Well, but if you dare to make me try some messy dishes, I'll kick you out immediately......"
"Won't—how could it be?" Zheng Ke waved his hand again and again, he hadn't lived enough?
Just as Zheng Ke looked down at the recipe, Kihara Xiu walked into the office with a pot of boiled fish.
"Teacher Zheng, please taste. After saying that, Kihara Shu put the boiled fish on the table, took a step back, and stood to the side.
Boiled fish, the full name is river boiled river fish, belongs to Sichuan cuisine, characterized by oil but not greasy, spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter, and the meat quality of the fish should be particularly delicate.
When Zheng Ke ate the first bite of fish, the beautiful impact made him nod his head constantly, even if this level is placed in Chunfangyuan, it can be regarded as good. It should be said that its level can be completely out of the teacher.
"Mr. Zheng, how is it?" Kihara Xiu's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Ahem......" Zheng Ke coughed dryly, thinking about how to persuade Mu Yuanxiu to stay.
Xuan Li looked at Zheng Ke, who was a little flustered, and couldn't help but snicker. Stinky boy, it turns out that there are times when it stumps you.
"Well, it's okay. Zheng Ke nodded.
Kihara Xiu's brows furrowed, and his face showed joy.
"However, it didn't live up to my expectations. Zheng Ke sighed, "Originally, I thought that with another month of study, your cooking skills should be improved to the next level, but as a result, I was slightly disappointed." ”
Kihara's smile froze on his face.
"Okay, give you another half a month to study, I hope you don't get discouraged, and strive to improve your cooking skills as soon as possible, and after half a month, I will let Kuriyama Ren come and pick you up." Zheng Ke frowned, his face showing regret.
After sending off Kihara Xiu, Zheng Ke turned to look at Xuan Li, "Okay, satisfied, right?"
Xuan Li shook his head, "Zheng Ke, you have become insidious. ”
Zheng Ke tightened his mouth, so angry that he didn't say a word for a long time.
