Li Huan thought that he was not satisfied with this dish, and was afraid of smashing his signboard, so he immediately brought the main dish that Chen Chen had made just now to Reporter Qiu, and said with a blank eye: "If you are not satisfied, there is another main dish here, carp jumping over the dragon gate, you can try it." ”

Seeing that Li Huan had been deceived by himself, Reporter Qiu's attitude changed dramatically and praised loudly: "With such a level of cooking skills, no wonder Chef Li can get Mr. Yan's approval." When I take my first bite, the meat of the abalone melts in my mouth, and a fresh fragrance takes over the tip of my tongue and spreads throughout my body. What's even more amazing is that eating the second bite is very different from the previous experience, eating this seemingly simple soup, people can't help but think of the tranquility of childhood hometown life. ”

Reporter Qiu picked up the camera, took several photos in a row, and then said: "It's so delicious, I must promote it well and attract more customers for you." ”

"Thank you so much then!"

"No thanks," reporter Qiu waved his hand, "I'm still busy going back to catch up with the manuscript, and I'll come back next time when I have time to taste Chef Li's specialty dishes." ”

Reporter Qiu took a photo and left in a hurry, leaving only Li Huan and Chen Chen in the kitchen.

Thinking that his reputation would spread widely and his salary would definitely rise, Li Huan couldn't help but think of a bright future.

"Brother Li, Brother Li?" Chen Chen stretched out his hand and dangled in front of his eyes before summoning Li Huan's thoughts back.

"Ahem, what's the matter?"

"How do I think that reporter is not very reliable, and he started writing a manuscript without tasting this dish, which is too unprofessional." The most important thing is the disrespect for the fruits of his labor. Chen Chen pursed his lips and watched the carp leap over the dragon gate, not feeling good in his heart.

"Reporter Qiu is a columnist for the city's most authoritative magazine, "Love Things", he is busy with work, and it is understandable that he left in a hurry, don't mind. Since no one touches, you eat it, so as not to waste it. ”

Chen Chen still wanted to say something, seeing that people were coming and going, and someone sent Li Huan the menu ordered by the guests, so he had to stop talking.

A month passed in a hurry, seeing that Li Huan was getting more and more famous, and more and more people came to admire him, the hotel front office manager had to believe in Yan Shu's previous decision, and he was also impressed by Li Huan.

On this day, Manager Wang specially sent the menu into the back kitchen, and when he saw Li Huan on the plate, he said enthusiastically: "President Gu invited a banquet for VIPs, ordered some dishes, if you are free, you can get it out, and the time for Mr. Gu's appointment is six o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, no problem." Li Huan didn't raise his head, "Xiao Chen, you help me accept the list first." Is there anything else, if not, I still have something to do, Manager Wang. ”

"This ...... All right. Manager Wang is also a person who started from the grassroots level, and over the years, he has been accustomed to seeing the arrogant attitude of the villain after gaining power, and he can also see Li Huan's indifference, so he handed the list to Chen Chen and went out to do his own work.

"Xiao Chen," Li Huan beckoned to Chen Chen, "Look at what is written on the list." ”

Chen Chen carefully studied the list, and found that the above requirements were very detailed.

It can be seen that this Mr. Gu is usually a very strict person, and he can't deal with him sloppily, Chen Chen took a deep breath and began to prepare.

With Li Huan here, there is naturally no need to bother cutting vegetables, but Chen Chen has been in charge of Li Huan for so long, and he has not seen him do it himself, so it is impossible not to be suspicious. But Chen Chen loves the process of cooking food, and subconsciously doesn't want to explore the truth, and it feels good if he can keep doing this.

While holding the spoon, Chen Chen looked down at himself, his thin arms and legs looked like he couldn't even hold an iron pot. On the other hand, people can't speak in the hotel, so it's better to be attached to Li Huan, who has a poor salary and can cook food every day, why not?

Chen Chen's easy-to-satisfy foodie nature has flare up again.

"Hey, what are you doing stunned?" Li Huan was not in a good mood today, threw away the carving knife, and yelled at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen unconsciously stepped back: "I've not been very energetic lately, and I'm often distracted, Brother Li, don't mind." ”

"Hurry up." Li Huan snorted coldly.

Seeing that Li Huan was no longer aggressive, Chen Chen resigned himself to his fate and began to wash the vegetables. He woke up hungry this morning, but the refrigerator at home was empty, and he didn't dare to deal with it casually outside, so he carried his hungry body to the hotel, wanting to make some food for himself to pad his stomach while most people were not coming.

Coincidentally, he was called downstairs to help move things, and Chen Chen was hungry because of himself. How do you know that as soon as you get busy, you will be busy until now, and you are just in a hurry at noon, and your body energy is obviously insufficient.

When he finished the last dish, Chen Chen's knees were weak and he almost collapsed. He shook his head and said to Li Huan: "There shouldn't be any dishes that need to be cooked, I'm dizzy, I have to replenish some energy." ”

"Well, you can use the rest of the ingredients as you like, but go and ask someone to prepare the dishes first and then come back and eat your share."

"Oh, good."

Chen Chen waited for the dishes that had been "transformed" by Li Huan to go one by one, and the saliva secretion in his mouth became more and more, and finally his stomach couldn't help but let out a "gurgling" sound.

The waiter who was serving the food glanced at Chen Chen in unison, and the atmosphere was delicate.

"Hey, hey, don't look at me, I'm just a little hungry." Chen Chen waved his hand, and the waiters continued to serve the dishes away as fast as they could.

According to the rules as always, Li Huan only accepts reservations for one table of dishes every night, and the people who come to dine are rich people from all over the country.

Customers often like to call Li Huan to the table to inquire after dinner, which is nothing more than digging the foot of the wall or wanting to hire him as a private chef, and every time Li Huan is playing haha to deal with the past.

This time, Mr. Gu, who invited customers to come to the meal, was no exception, and the customers were very satisfied with the taste of the food, and the praise was endless, and the two sides happily reached a cooperation.

Seeing off the distinguished guests, Gu Qing called the front office manager and asked, "Manager Wang, I have long heard that your new chef is very good at cooking, and it is really good to try it today, you go and call him over and I have something to say to him." ”

"This ......" Manager Wang hesitated and lowered his head.

"Don't worry, I won't dig up your walls, I will still give Yan Shu this face, you just call the chef."

"Okay, I'll go."

Seeing Manager Wang walking in with Li Huan, Gu Qing pointed to a dish of "Phoenix Yu Fei" and asked, "How did you make this dish?" ”

"Naturally, it was done according to your request, Mr. Gu, isn't it...... Mr. Gu, are you not satisfied? Li Huan was used to seeing this kind of scene, and he became more and more confident.

Gu Qingwu nodded to himself and said, "Well, it's done well." Every time I go to a restaurant, I order the same dish, and you're the only one who makes the kind of taste I want. ”

Li Huan smiled proudly.

"Are you interested in coming back with me and being my private chef? I'll give you three times the salary here. Gu Qing is notoriously picky in the business circle, especially in terms of food, the requirements are frighteningly high, and few people can get into his eyes.

Seeing that Li Huan's expression was a little relaxed, Manager Wang's whole person was not good, who would sue him, didn't he just say that he would not dig the foot of the wall, how could he turn his head and lure others with a high salary in front of him?

Manager Wang was in a hurry, but Li Huan said something refusal.

"Thank you Mr. Gu for your love, I still want to stay here, Mr. Yan treats me with the grace of understanding, and I am also very satisfied with the treatment that Aisen gave me."

"Okay, you have the final say, I've never liked to force people. However, if you regret it in the future, I am always welcome here. ”

Gu Qing patted Li Huan on the shoulder, looked at Manager Wang and said, "Chef Li has a good character, your hotel should cherish it." ”

Li Huan showed his face in front of Mr. Gu, and by the way, he showed his loyalty to Mr. Yan, but poor Chen Chen was alone in the small kitchen, eating the extra dishes at Mr. Gu's banquet with relish.

"Chen Chen!"

The man in the back kitchen came up to him: "Why are you eating again?" Every time I see you either stealing food or dozing off. ”

Chen Chen was a little embarrassed: "I didn't eat much at noon, and I was busy until this place in the evening, and I didn't go to eat the staff meal......

"Okay, okay, who likes to hear you explain so much? Who doesn't know that you Chen Chen looks down on the staff meal, how busy Chef Li's workload can be all day, I see that you will open a small stove here all day. ”

Chen Chen was powerless to defend himself, so he had to be silent.

"What did I come up to tell you?" He thought for a moment, "By the way, it's your turn to be on duty tonight, and you have to stay in the back kitchen all night, in case something happens, don't let people find you." ”

"Oh, okay." Chen Chen agreed, and stuck his tongue out at the man's back after he left.

When night fell, Chen Chen stayed alone in the back kitchen, and he was really a little scared. He was cranky, and thinking about it reminded him of an unusually handsome face.

"Ah, go away, go away, why do you always appear in front of my eyes, isn't it just a dream, why can't you forget it."

Chen Chen remembered the blushing and heart-pounding scene in his dream, and was a little scared: "I must be haunted by evil spirits, so I will ask the master to exorcise evil spirits when I have time one day." ”

In the office on the top floor of the hotel, Yan Shu worked overtime until late at night, with a rare tiredness on his face.

"Secretary Chen!" He shouted, without raising his head, finished reading the last document, and looked at his phone, it was already half past twelve at midnight.

After not seeing anyone answer for a long time, Yan Shu remembered that he had already asked his secretary to go home from work, and there was no need for a girl's family to stay up late and work overtime with him here.

Yan Shu rubbed his eyebrows, sighed, closed the office door, and pressed the elevator. He wanted to ask someone to bring something up, but in the middle of the night, it is estimated that the people in the back kitchen have already left work.

In the middle of the night, the back kitchen was very deserted, and only Chen Chen, who was on duty, sat by the window and dozed off alone, saliva hanging on his chin, not knowing what kind of sweet dream he was having.

Yan Shu looked at it quietly for a while, and actually felt that this person was a little interesting.

He walked over and woke Chen Chen up: "You wake up......"

"Who! Disturbing dreams, I curse you for your insomnia every night, wake up in the middle of the night without instant noodles, and watch pornography about the power outage. ”

Before the person completely came to his senses, Chen Chen said a lot of things in a crackling voice, if it weren't for Yan Shu's good hearing, he wouldn't know what he was chirping at all.

"What did you just say, say it again."

The cold voice came, Chen Chen woke up suddenly, stood up suddenly, Yan Shu was caught off guard, his chin made intimate contact with Chen Chen's head, if he hadn't reacted quickly and withdrew his tongue in time, it is estimated that he would not be able to speak now.

Yan Shu glared at Chen Chen fiercely.

Feeling Yan Shu's eyes that were about to pierce him, Chen Chen immediately bowed and apologized: "Mr. Yan is sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

At the end, he added in a low voice, "Who told you to be so close to me." ”

Pretending not to hear, Yan Shu touched his chin and gasped in pain.

Chen Chen cautiously asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Yan coming so late?" If it's a hygiene check, it's all cleaned. ”

Yan Shu frowned: "Are you from the back kitchen?" Go get me some late-night snack. ”

"Supper? I? Chen Chen asked uncertainly.

"Hmm." Yan Shu just snorted lightly and let out a nasal sound, which was considered a certainty.

Hearing that Mr. Yan was going to make him supper, Chen Chen trembled: "Mr. Yan, are you sure?" I'm just a cook, not a hotel cook. ”

"Whatever you want." Yan Shu waved his hand, he was hungry now, and he didn't pick the taste of food anymore.

Chen Chen thought of his messy appearance, and agreed stubbornly: "Okay, Mr. Yan, you go back to the office first, and I'll send it to you immediately." ”

Yan Shu glanced at his watch: "No need, you can do it simply, I'll wait here." ”

With Yan Shu staring at him all the time, Chen Chen was very nervous, he was not good at knife work, and he made mistakes again and again, but fortunately, when stir-frying, he could always feel the golden ratio of seasonings and ingredients.

Finally finished, Chen Chen lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Yan Shu.

He swore that he was really serious about preparing supper for him, but he had to admit that his food didn't look good, lying in a mess on the plate, and it didn't look like an appetite.

"This ...... Is it the culinary level of the hotel assistant chef? Yan Shu pointed to the prototype on the plate, although he didn't expect much at first, but after seeing the real thing with his own eyes, Yan Shu still felt that it was time to strengthen the job assessment of kitchen staff.

"I'm clumsy, and I haven't been able to learn his craft with Brother Li, but the taste is actually pretty good, Mr. Yan, give it a try." Chen Chen handed the chopsticks to Yan Shu, "Like me, I will vomit when I eat other things, but I won't eat my own." ”

Yan Shu suddenly remembered that he liked to cook when he was a child, and every time he made the kitchen smoky, he could eat happily with a plate of smorgasbord made by himself.

Yan Shu looked at Chen Chen's sincere eyes and nodded slightly: "Forget it, I'll try the taste." ”

So, he plucked up the courage to stretch out his chopsticks and pick up one of the pieces that looked like meat and looked at it carefully.

Chen Chen held his breath nervously, afraid that Yan Shu would lift the entire plate as soon as he tasted it.

Is this kind of stuff really edible? Yan Shu held a hundred thousand suspicions and sent that strange thing into his mouth.
