Sure enough, Yan Shu's face was cold when he ate the steak, and he asked Li Huan to call over to explain.

"The steak is cooked just right, but the sauce is thicker and covers the original taste of the fine beef, how could you make such a low-level mistake?" Yan Shu wiped his mouth clean and threw the napkin on the table. The chef he appointed must be perfect, but Li Huan disappointed him this time.

"I, I don't know how to tell Mr. Yan." Li Huan had a plan, but his eyes were full of smiles when he lowered his head.

"Something to say."

"Mr. Yan, you don't know, there are many people in the back kitchen, there are always people walking around, and I was accidentally touched when I was pouring the juice, so this is ......"

"Alright."

Yan Shu interrupted, beckoned to Manager Wu, and instructed: "You ask people to clean up the small kitchen on the second floor, and it will be Li Huan's special kitchen in the future." ”

"Okay, Mr. Yan."

Li Huan was excited, he didn't expect that he could get an exclusive kitchen by pretending to be pitiful, and he would never have to worry about being caught cheating in the future. Thinking of this, Li Huan thanked him again and again, and happily returned to the back kitchen.

After Li Huan left, Chen Chen, who had been busy all morning, felt hungry, so he used the remaining ingredients to make himself a plate of fried rice and ate it with relish. It's been a long time since he's eaten a hotel staff meal, and he can't even be interested in packing the evening buffet.

Fortunately, he is now Li Huan's assistant cook, and people who use excess ingredients to cook a little food will not care.

"Why are you eating this, let's take a walk, brother invites you to a big meal." Li Huan greeted him happily.

"Huh? But I'm full. Chen Chen once again used such an excuse to cover up the past, the fact is that when he thought of the greasy food and excessive MSG in the small restaurant, Chen Chen felt sick to his stomach.

These days, Chen Chen has also discovered that unless it is food made by himself, any dish, even if he only eats one bite, will vomit, and after several failed attempts, he does not dare to touch a little more. Not only that, but drowsiness, fatigue, and hunger are becoming more and more serious, and he can often doze off when he stands in the kitchen, and only cooking will make him excited.

"Today, Mr. Yan allocated the small kitchen on the second floor to me, and in the future, we will fire there alone, and you can eat whatever you want, and see how thin you have become."

Chen Chen was so happy: "What's this?" ”

"Of course, it's time to open a small stove for you, and no one cares about you when you're not busy."

This condition can't be better for Chen Chen now: "Thank you, Brother Li!" What a blessing to be your cook! ”

Soon a plate of fried rice bottomed out, but Chen Chen's stomach was still half hungry, and he touched his stomach suspiciously, feeling strange in his heart.

The staff who had helped with Li Huan came over and patted Li Huan on the shoulder with a smile: "Okay, you kid, I just heard that Mr. Yan gave you the kitchen on the second floor, it seems that you have to invite this meal anyway." ”

"Hmph, why should I share with you the reward I got by relying on my own strength! I'm leaving, you guys are busy. Li Huan glanced at him with his hands folded, turned around and left.

Since gaining power, Li Huan's arrogance has offended many people, and now having his own small kitchen has attracted secret jealousy.

This person just came over to see if he could follow Li Huan and get some special treatment, but when he stuck to Li Huan's cold ass, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and he lowered his head and vented at Chen Chen.

"Chen Chen, are you taking the kitchen ingredients privately? I really think that if you have a chef cover, no one will care about you, this is a violation of restaurant discipline, I think you don't want to stay or you don't want salary. ”

Chen Chen believed his words and asked nervously: "I'm just too hungry, don't you tell anyone else?" ”

"It's okay, the meal is not for nothing, go up and clean up the kitchen on the second floor, anyway, you will use it yourself in the future." He easily pushed the job arranged for him by Manager Wu to Chen Chen.

"Cheng, I'll go."

Chen Chen took the cleaning utensils from the storage room, and when he arrived at the "small kitchen" on the second floor, he suddenly jumped up.

He never knew that there was a kitchen of about forty square meters on the second floor, and he was very satisfied thinking that this would be his and Li Huan's special kitchen in the future, and this kitchen was about to catch up with the area of his entire home.

"Brother Li is so powerful, I have to work hard and catch up with him." Chen Chen secretly made up his mind.

Wipe the kitchen stove and sink first, spray it with detergent, wait a few minutes, and then wipe it vigorously with a damp rag, and after a while, his head will be sweaty. Then Chen Chen moved the new kitchenware upstairs with a sigh, and no one was willing to take the initiative to help him.

"Why haven't you done it yet?" After more than two hours, the previous person ran up to see Chen Chen's joke, after all, when Manager Wu ordered him to come down, he was asked to "find a few people" to do this.

Chen Chen raised his head and showed a look of help: "I can't do it faster by myself, can you help me take a hand and move this box inside?" ”

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately shook his head and refused, and excused himself: "I still have something to deal with downstairs, you can push it slowly." ”

After speaking, he left with brisk steps, and didn't see Chen Chen sitting on the box uncomfortably with his stomach behind him.

What's wrong with my body, even if I was a small worker before, carrying more than ten kilograms of vegetables every day, I have never been so tired.

Chen Chen rested for a while, eased up, looked around, and plucked up his energy again.

"After cleaning up, this is the kitchen of me and Brother Li, and I won't have to be criticized by those people downstairs when the time comes," Chen Chen, who was resurrected with blood on the spot, was full of fighting spirit, "Come on!" ”

Chen Chen shouted at the wall to cheer himself up, as if he was dealing with the content of today's cleaning as an enemy, and suddenly his strength increased greatly, and he smeared the stainless steel kitchenware shiny.

After working until late at night, Chen Chen finished cleaning up the small kitchen, spread out on the ground tiredly, and slowed down for a while before he had the strength to go home.

It's rare that one morning is not the morning shift, Chen Chen can sleep for two more hours, originally thought that he could make up for a good night's sleep, so that he could go to work refreshed the next day, but the next day the mobile phone alarm clock rang for a long time before he woke up faintly, paralyzed in bed and didn't want to move at all.

"Alas, why was I not born in a rich family, and I have to work hard to earn money to make ends meet? Don't want to get up, don't want to get up......" Chen Chen yelled while rolling on the bed, covering his head with the quilt, unwilling to face the reality that he had to get up.

If only I were like Yan Shu...... Chen Chen, who was half-asleep and half-awake, had unrealistic dreams again.

If you keep consuming, you will really be late, Chen Chen turned over and got up, washed up as quickly as possible, and took out the cold meal that he packed and brought back last night in the refrigerator and warmed it up, and ate it happily.

There was no time to clean up the dinner table, Chen Chen looked at his phone, it was already seven o'clock, and he immediately changed his shoes and rushed out.

When he arrived at the hotel, he walked through the freight passage at the back door as usual, and met his former boss, Uncle Cai, the little foreman.

"Hey, why are you here, what time is it! I'm going to report to the above, do you believe it or not? Uncle Cai glared at him fiercely, and handed the vegetable basket in his hand to him, "Quick, move this in, you see how busy we are!" ”

"But Uncle Cai, I'm not on the morning shift today, and I'm not a small worker anymore, so I shouldn't do these jobs."

"Hmph, do you think that following Li Huan is climbing the branches? He is now the head chef, and his identity is different, but it is not you who is developed, and you still want to do things for me? ”

Uncle Cai almost shouted out, which attracted the attention of other workers, but no one helped Chen Chen say a word of justice.

In fact, everyone is like this, they don't dare to do anything to Li Huan, so they can only find trouble with Chen Chen behind their backs and ask him to do some hard work that shouldn't be done by him at all. In the eyes of others, Chen Chen and Li Huan are on the same team, and the whole Chen Chen also makes them happy.

Chen Chen didn't know how to respond, looking at the gloating eyes around him, he had to sigh and do coolies according to Uncle Cai's instructions.

After moving more than a dozen boxes of fresh ingredients in one go, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel weak on his feet, and took several steps back in a row, clutching his stomach in pain, no one noticed his discomfort, or even if he did, he didn't see it.

"Chen Chen, Chef Li is looking for you everywhere, so you are here." Someone came over to greet Chen Chen.

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, I'll go up now."

Chen Chen held back his discomfort and ran upstairs quickly, and sure enough, he saw Li Huan standing next to the kitchen with an anxious face.

"Why did you come? Don't know if it's late? ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Li," Chen Chen couldn't help but say, "I was stopped by Uncle Cai downstairs just now and helped a little." ”

Li Huan guessed what was going on at once: "Don't pay attention to them in the future, deliberately find something for you to do, your little body won't be able to hold it sooner or later." Look at your face, it's worse than yesterday. ”

"It's okay, they're all colleagues, they can't help, I'm just helping." What else can Chen Chen say, Li Huan is the chef, he is not, and he doesn't dare to directly refuse to offend people.

"Well, I don't know what to say about you. A reporter from CM Newspaper wanted to write an interview for me, saying that he would like to try my craft first, what do you think would be better? I'll prepare the ingredients first, and you sit and rest for a while. ”

Seeing that Chen Chen was not in a good state, Li Huan couldn't bear to let him do it immediately, and was even more worried about affecting the effect of the food, if the reporter was not satisfied, his reputation would be damaged.

"When I was moving the seafood just now, I found fresh abalone, so I'll make an abalone soup and a main course later. Brother Li, you directly call someone to send it up, I feel a little tired, take a break and come back to help you. ”

Chen Chen found a place to sit down, pressed his temples lightly, watched Li Huan skillfully handle the ingredients, and couldn't help but sigh: "If only I could learn Brother Li's knife skills." ”

Li Huan pretended not to hear, shut up and didn't talk about teaching Chen Chen knife work, but said: "Why don't you close your eyes and rest, you will be busy later." ”

Although there were only two dishes, because the abalone soup took a long time, the reporter who came to do the interview couldn't wait, so he asked people to lead the way to the small kitchen on the second floor, and he also had a SLR in his hand.

"Reporter Qiu, why did you come in?" Li Huan greeted him with a smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands with reporters.

"I'll just take a look, and by the way, I'll take a picture of you, and you'll just do it as usual, as if you can't see me. By the way, is this your helper? The child is quite handsome. ”

Chen Chen nodded to him and greeted: "Hello Reporter Qiu." ”

Reporter Qiu's attitude towards Chen Chen was also relatively gentle, and he chatted with him for a few more words before starting to take pictures of Li Huan.

Li Huan was proud, and deliberately took several poses before taking out the abalone soup from the steamer lattice, but he didn't see Chen Chen's anxious eyes.

Li Huan patronized the image and looked good, missed the best time to start the pot, and Chen Chen could only feel the taste when cooking, and did not consider the color and shape, and the abalone soup just out of the pot looked inconspicuous.

Seeing the reporter frowning, Li Huan quickly explained: "Although it looks ugly, it tastes absolutely good, wait for me to retouch it, it will definitely be photogenic." ”

Reporter Qiu stared at Li Huan suspiciously, put down the camera in his hand, and looked worried: "Is this really a delicacy that you will regret if you don't eat it?" ”

"Don't worry." Li Huan is full of confidence, he has learned a lot of things over the years, and his knife work and plating skills are first-class.

Rolling up his sleeves, Li Huan carved the carrots into small flowers one by one, sprinkled them on the surface of the abalone soup, and put the thin leaves of celery next to the flowers, and after a while, a bowl of abalone soup became a painting. Although it is as simple as a painting of a primary school student, it is better than his knife work, and the color matching is simple and warm, which is eye-catching.

Reporter Qiu's expression was also a lot more relaxed, and he took a picture of him with a camera "click", recording the process of the perfect counterattack of abalone soup, and he was also smiling.

"Chef Li, I finally know why there are such exaggerated rumors, it turns out that you really have a way of turning decay into magic. It's been a great process, and no one in my industry has ever met a chef as skilled as you, so I'm going to go back and work on the manuscript right away so that everyone else knows what you're capable of! ”

"Don't worry, you'd better taste how to write first, otherwise I won't dare to be." Li Huan happily accepted the compliment.

Reporter Qiu took a porcelain spoon and tasted it, and the moment the soup entered his mouth, it seemed to melt in his mouth, and the fragrant taste melted into the blood vessels of his whole body. After all, he is a layman, and Reporter Qiu did not taste this abalone soup and steamed it a little old, which reassured Chen Chen.

Reporter Qiu spoke highly of Li Huan's cooking skills and knife skills in his heart, and tasted a few more bites of abalone soup, and he couldn't put it down.

"Reporter Qiu, how is it?" Li Huan was very confident in Chen Chen's cooking skills, and when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time, he thought something was wrong, and he looked anxious.

Reporter Qiu deliberately kept a straight face: "Chef Li, I really didn't expect that your cooking skills would be like this." ”

Chen Chen was taken aback: Is there something wrong?
