At the same time, Yan Shu, the president of the Aisen Hotel, sat in the restaurant, frowning and looking at the sandwich in front of him.

If you want to be colorless and fragrant, even if it is just a sandwich, but the vegetables are cut thinly and thickly, the shape is crooked, and the dough □□ is not removed.

He made a bad comment on today's catering work in his heart, and he had already made up his mind to criticize the person in charge of the back kitchen.

Manager Wu has been paying attention to this side from a distance from the beginning, and he knew that the dish was wrong when he saw the sandwich at first sight, but he couldn't take it back in front of Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan's expression was obviously dissatisfied, Manager Wu could already predict what would happen next, and Manager Wang in the back kitchen was afraid that he would be unlucky, and he would inevitably be affected.

Manager Wang, Manager Wang, Manager Wu said anxiously in his heart, how can your subordinates bring this kind of thing to entertain Mr. Yan, aren't you asking for hardship?

The president took the first bite with the thought of me seeing how bad you can be, and then his eyes lit up.

The not-so-surprising taste of the sandwich was beyond his expectations.

He couldn't help but take a second and third bite...... Ordinary - no, not even ordinary, but a very bad-looking sandwich with an indescribably wonderful taste.

I don't know what special condiments are added to it, but people can't stop eating it.

Yan Shu waved his hand and beckoned the restaurant manager: "Who did this?" You call him personally. ”

Manager Wu actually expected President Yan to ask for this, but why didn't it seem that the tone was wrong?

He thought that Yan would always put it down after taking a bite, and then called the chef over coldly and told him that you won't use it tomorrow, which is in line with the development of the plot.

Now the president has eaten up the entire sandwich before he can call people, and there is not a trace of anger in his tone, so what is the situation?

He could only agree tremblingly: "Okay, I'll go to the back kitchen and ask, Mr. Yan, you wait." ”

Yan Shu tapped his index finger on the table in a good mood, which was a small action when he expressed his joy when he was paralyzed, and only those who were familiar with him knew it. Although the restaurant has a wide variety for breakfast, he has lost interest in other dishes.

It was a surprise that a sandwich could make such a taste.

It's just that the appearance is a little too amazing, if it's an ordinary guest, you may not eat it at all when you see such a thing.

Manager Wu ran to the back kitchen, summoned all the cooks on duty, and asked, "Who made the sandwich this morning?" ”

There weren't many cooks on the morning shift, and they looked at each other, really not remembering who had made a sandwich this morning.

"Did you do it?"

"I haven't made a sandwich."

"Neither do I."

No one admitted it for a long time, and Manager Wu was a little anxious.

"What's the matter with you people, has no one come forward and admit it? That sandwich was eaten by Mr. Yan, and he just wanted to call the chef over to meet him, but he didn't say what would happen to people, so was it a reward? ”

Sandwich?

Li Huan stood behind everyone and looked for it secretly, but he didn't see Chen Chen, so he must have gone to the back door to move vegetables.

Now that I think about it, maybe the sandwich made by Chen Chen was mistakenly put on Mr. Yan, but looking at Manager Wu's current attitude, Mr. Yan didn't look angry, so is this matter a pro or a con?

He stepped forward with a slight hesitation.

"Manager Wu, that sandwich...... I did it. ”

Manager Wu's eyes suddenly moved to Li Huan, and he looked at him suspiciously: "You? Are you a chef? ”

Li Huan wiped his sweat: "I'm a cook, I came in a hurry in the morning, and I didn't have time to eat." At that time, I saw that there was no one in the kitchen, so I borrowed some materials without authorization, made breakfast and prepared to eat it myself, but it disappeared after a trip, probably by the waiter who mistakenly served it as breakfast. It's my fault, I won't be next time. ”

"Borrow?" Manager Wu frowned, "Will you pay it back if you borrow it?" ”

Li Huan's head pressed even lower.

"Forget it," Manager Wu waved his hand, and the people working in the hotel wouldn't care about the two slices of bread, "Mr. Yan is looking for you, you can come along." ”

Li Huan followed Manager Wu to the restaurant uncertainly, and stood in front of Mr. Yan at close range for the first time, and couldn't help but be very nervous.

"Yan is always good." Li Huan nodded in a low voice, his two hands took turns rubbing cold sweat on his uniform, Yan Shu's first impression of him was very bad, and he was unwilling to associate the sandwich just now with the person in front of him.

"You made the sandwich?" He asked succinctly.

Li Huan lowered his head, not daring to look at the president's eyes: "I know that it is wrong for me to take the ingredients in the kitchen privately, and I will definitely correct it in the future." ”

"You're not a chef?" The president asked with a frown.

"I—I'm just a cook." Li Huan was a little weak when he spoke.

The president's brow tightened, he didn't look like a person who was very confident in his cooking skills, but he could make a sandwich taste like this, and this person could also be hidden.

"Forget it, you can make me lunch at noon today." If he is really a skilled cook, he will naturally not be wronged by such a person to be a cook.

Li Huan was stunned, let him do it? But his level is far inferior to that of the hotel chef, not even the average chef, he is good at knife work and carving, and occasionally helps other chefs to get started.

Even so, he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to it: "Okay." ”

"Alright, let's go down." Mr. Yan waved his hand and motioned for them to go down.

Li Huan lowered his head and retreated, thinking about how to cope with lunch as he walked.

Don't look at Li Huan as just a cook, his brain is not stupid, and after a little thought, he clarified the ins and outs of the matter: Mr. Yan ate the sandwich made by Chen Chen, and then asked himself to cook a lunch for him, does this mean that Mr. Yan fell in love with Chen Chen's cooking skills?

Even Li Huan himself didn't believe this, he didn't even know if Chen Chen could cook, but now in this situation, he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor - gritted his teeth and tried.

Li Huan came to the back door of the hotel and found Chen Chen, who was working hard to move vegetables. Chen Chen's figure was already thin and small, and he walked staggeringly with a heavy vegetable box, which seemed very difficult.

Seeing this, Li Huan quickly stepped forward to take the box, and the weight in Chen Chen's hand disappeared, which was very unexpected.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

"You don't have the strength, I'll do this kind of thing for you."

"That's embarrassing, it's my job."

"It's okay, it's not much weight to me, if you don't feel like you're going, do me a favor."

Chen Chen unconsciously took the bait: "What's wrong with this?" Brother Li, what do you want me to do, just say no? ”

"It's just ......" Li Huan looked a little embarrassed.

Chen Chen suddenly snorted: "Wait a minute, are you looking for me to borrow money?" Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to, but you know that I'm not rich in money. ”

Li Huan couldn't help but be happy: "No, no, I don't want to borrow money from you, it's very simple, I just want you to help me take charge of the spoon at noon." ”

Chen Chen was surprised: "What? Do you want me to help you with the spoon? Brother Li, have you been promoted to chef? ”

"Today the manager asked me to try the food, and you know that if the test results are good, I may be promoted. But to tell you the truth, I've had rheumatism in the past few days, and my arm hurts when I stir-fry, and I don't want to give up this rare opportunity. ”

"Brother Li, you have rheumatism and help me move vegetables," Chen Chen was so moved, "I really want to help you, but the problem is that my cooking level is also very average, what can I do?" ”

Li Huan looked at him sincerely, not like he was lying.

"It's okay, I'm watching from the side, I'll sue you if there's something wrong."

Chen Chen was still a little hesitant.

Li Huan hurriedly pretended to be pitiful: "Just ask you to help my brother once, you know, if you can't try the dishes this time, I don't know how long I will be a helper." ”

The salary of the chef is more than doubled, just like the salary of the kitchen and the small worker is more than doubled.

"Okay then," Chen Chen reluctantly agreed, "but I really don't have confidence." ”

"It's okay, I trust you."

Chen Chen didn't know how to refuse others, especially the person who was in urgent need of help and usually took care of him.

Li Huan's heart that had been hanging down could be regarded as letting go: "Then thank you really Xiaochen." ”

Seeing him like this, Chen Chen was a little flattered: "Brother Li, you helped me move the vegetables, and just now you helped me keep the sandwich secret, and I should do this little thing." Okay, I'll come to you when I'm done here, okay? ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare food first, you're busy."

"Hey."

Chen Chen finished moving half a carload of vegetables one after another, in September, it was the weather when the autumn tigers were raging, and occasionally he could hear a few hissing cicadas, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and found a shady place to sit down and rest, but he couldn't help but think of last night.

Who is that man, is it really just a dream?

But why is a dream so real, as if it actually happened?

Chen Chen inevitably thought about it again, and when he came back to his senses, he remembered what he had promised Li Huan.

"Oops, it looks like it's going to be time!"

Chen Chen rushed to the back kitchen, the others performed their duties in their own posts, Li Huan chose a position in the most corner of the kitchen, and the busy people had no time to take care of this side.

When Li Huan saw Chen Chen coming, he hurriedly beckoned him to come over, and said in a low voice: "I'll leave it to you here." ”

Chen Chen was a little nervous: "I will do my best." ”

"But be careful not to be discovered by Manager Wang, otherwise the qualification will be cancelled."

"Then Brother Li, you help me look at the wind."

"Go ahead."

Chen Chen looked at the ingredients prepared on the stage, pondered for a moment, and picked out duck breast meat as the main dish, cauliflower, white mushrooms, celery, red onions, and carrots as side dishes, as well as various ingredients such as thyme, bay leaves, and nutmeg.

He didn't know what to do at first, but when he saw the table full of ingredients, he instinctively felt that today's duck breast was exceptionally fresh, and the vegetables and spices were perfect for the duck breast, and he could even feel the taste of the finished product on the tip of his tongue.

Chen Chen picked up the kitchen knife and hesitated, knife skills are also a major factor to test the level of chefs, and he is not good at this at all.

However, Li Huan, who was born as a knife worker, does not have this problem, he is responsible for cutting vegetables when several chefs in the hotel cook, and when he saw this, he took the initiative to take the kitchen knife: "I can do this, you tell me how to cut it." ”

Chen Chen was worried about his arm: "Brother Li, is your arm okay?" ”

"There's no problem cutting vegetables."

"Oh." Chen Chen hurriedly told him what each dish was cut into, saying that it was also strange that when he picked up each dish, the shape of the processed ingredients appeared in front of him, whether it should be diced or diced, large or small, it was clear to see.

"This one is cut into shreds, this one is cut into slices, and this one is ......" Chen Chen picked up the pickled cucumber and thought about it, "Change it to a flower knife." ”

Li Huan skillfully picked up the kitchen knife and cut the ingredients that needed to be used carefully, his knife skills were really unambiguous, and Chen Chen admired him: "Brother Li, if I have you like this twice, I don't have to be a small worker." ”

"Haha," Li Huan smiled heartily, "Then you have to come on!" ”

"What should I do next?" Without waiting for Li Huan to speak, Chen Chen's mind moved, "Boil water!" ”

He put the pot on the shelf, poured in pure water, and when the water boiled, he put all the ingredients he had just cut into the pot. Then he set up the grill and began to roast the duck breast, and the whole process was done in one go without the slightest hesitation.

"Oops, Manager Wang is here!"

Chen Chen's eyes were sharp, and he handed the grill clip in his hand to Li Huan as soon as possible, Li Huan reacted quickly, and immediately pretended to roast it, turning over the meat on the grill from time to time.

Manager Wang inspected the kitchen, and finally came to Li Huan and Chen Chen, and saw Li Huan carefully roasting duck breast, and Chen Chen cleaning up the dirty dishes on the side.

He learned about the morning incident from Manager Wu, and also knew that Li Huan was preparing lunch for Mr. Yan, and seeing that he was still in good shape, he nodded reassuringly.

"Come on, don't mess it up."

"Okay Manager Wu." Li Huan was also very nervous, for fear that Manager Wang would say something else.

Fortunately, Manager Wang said a word of advice and left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Chen took the baking clip from Li Huan's hand again: "I'll come, Brother Li." ”

In such a short period of time, Li Huan had already roasted one of the pieces and missed the best eating period, if the quality of the dishes was stricter, the piece of meat could no longer be eaten by the guests, and Chen Chen had to regretfully take it aside.

Chen Chen thought, strange, why do I know these things?

No matter what, he continued to grill his meat, and when he needed to add seasoning, he grabbed it casually, and the tip of his tongue could immediately sense whether it was more or less, and then slightly adjusted the dose.

Li Huan watched carefully, trying to study and understand his cooking routine, but found nothing.

Of course, Chen Chen didn't know that after passing through his hands, those ordinary ingredients were subtly changing inside.

After working for a long time, Chen Chen took a long breath and finally smiled: "Okay." ”

He didn't know what was wrong with him, cooking today was exceptionally smooth, he originally thought that Li Huan wanted him to do what he just had to do, he just had to operate, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stop when he got started, and he didn't even ask Li Huan's opinion.

Chen Chen reacted at this time, what if the other party was not satisfied with what he did and messed up his food trial?

Li Huan looked at the dishes made by Chen Chen, it was really a little difficult to explain, if such a dish was given to Mr. Yan to eat, I was afraid that he would be fired if it was served in front of him. Li Huan regretted that he had admitted the incident in the morning, and was full of despair about his career.

Chen Chen also found out: "Uh, it doesn't seem to be very beautiful? ”

Li Huan reluctantly comforted Chen Chen, and at the same time picked up a piece of duck breast and put it in his mouth.
