Chen Chen slept groggyly, but on the second day, he was woken up hungry, and the patient next door was eating happily with the lunch box brought by his family, and the smell of rice filled the room.

"Grunt" stomach protested again, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed, if he was really pregnant, he was always in a state of hunger, so he just ate it to death.

Spit and complain, you can't be wronged.

Touching his stomach, Chen Chen glanced at the space box on the ground, and thought: Forget it, in order not to scare the patient next door, I better not open this box.

However, Chen Chen got up from the bed, his hands and feet were weak with hunger, how was he going to eat now?

The food left behind by Han Ling was limited, and Lu Chen didn't know when he would return to Earth, so he had to figure out how to eat by himself.

Tangled, Chen Chen dragged his rather vain steps to the small restaurant opposite the hospital. Because it was not yet lunchtime, the door of the small meal was quite idle, and Chen Chen, who was still wearing a hotel uniform, stood there and was particularly eye-catching.

"Eh, lad, do you want to eat? Come on in! "The owner is a very enthusiastic middle-aged man, and his face has been dyed dark by dealing with oily food all year round.

After hesitating back and forth at the door a few times, Chen Chen replied to the shopkeeper: "That...... Big brother, can I borrow your kitchen? Me, I don't mean anything else, it's just that I have a quirk, I can only eat what I cook, otherwise I will vomit, I haven't eaten since I was admitted to the hospital yesterday, it's so uncomfortable! ”

Chen Chen's crying was confusing, but fortunately, when the owner of the small restaurant saw him wearing the uniform of a five-star hotel chef, he promised him: "Young man, with such a mouth, it seems that your skills are good." Big brother, you are pitiful, and you can't be hungry all the time, come in. ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Chen Chen raised a bright smile and couldn't wait to enter the kitchen.

The shopkeeper followed Chen Chen and walked into the kitchen together.

"It's okay for you to make food, but I have one condition."

"Big brother, you just say it, as long as you don't sell yourself, I can probably accept it." Chen Chen stuck out his tongue, and his pale face had a little brilliance.

The shopkeeper was also amused by him, slapped him on the shoulder, and said heartily: "Of course not, I just thought, you are wearing a high-end hotel uniform, and your cooking skills must be very good, so I thought that the food you made and left half of it for the store to use, how about it be worth your meal?" ”

It's not a harsh condition, Chen Chen readily agreed, nodded straight at the shopkeeper, and his little head shook like pounding garlic.

The shopkeeper trusted Chen Chen very much, and after sorting out all the materials he was going to use, he walked out of the kitchen and sat outside alone.

Inside, Chen Chen boiled the hot water, picked the chicken on the kitchen table, and frowned.

To be honest, he doesn't like to cook with this kind of chicks, especially when it comes to boiling nutritious chicken broth, and the chickens that are too tender to ripen are not as thick as the old hens.

Chen Chen seemed to be able to feel the aroma of the chicken soup after stewing, although he was not very satisfied with the quality of the chicken, but he was hungry and no longer picky.

Although he couldn't accept the fact that he was pregnant for a while, Chen Chen still subconsciously got some things with high nutritional content to eat, such as chicken soup as soon as he entered the kitchen, and then put some angelica sand cucumber to increase nutrient absorption.

After all the ingredients were put into the pot, Chen Chen cut a few more potatoes, which were still crooked, looking like children pretending to be cut out of the house.

Anyway, he had to wait for the chicken soup to be stewed, Chen Chen simply used another pot to make a dish of braised beef, most of the ingredients in the small restaurant were not fresh, and the beef was also frozen, and the taste was not as good as the hotel. But he can't be picky about the current situation, so he can only settle.

"Speaking of the hotel, I don't know what the situation is on Brother Li's side, will he still pay attention to me?" Chen Chen frowned, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Li Huan, but there was still no response.

The smell of chicken soup wafted into the shopkeeper's nose and led him to the kitchen.

"Yes, young man, I'm hungry when I smell it." The shopkeeper was very appreciative of Chen Chen's cooking skills, and smiled at the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Well, big brother shopkeeper, you are such a good person, I thought I would hit a wall, but I didn't expect you to agree at once, don't worry, I can't eat much, and there are many, many leftovers for you to sell." Chen Chen turned off the fire and gave the shopkeeper a bowl of chicken soup, "Big brother, how about you taste it." ”

The shopkeeper happily took the chicken soup, blew it a few times, and couldn't wait to take a sip, at that moment, he seemed to taste his mother's craftsmanship many years ago, the warmth of the family spread to his heart, a bowl of soup, is a half-life aftertaste.

"Wow......" took several sips in a row, and the shopkeeper was very excited, "Young man, I really didn't misunderstand you, this chicken soup is the most delicious chicken soup I have ever drunk in my life, it will definitely sell well later, can you help me boil a little more?" ”

"Of course, I'll put all the ingredients away, and you can start the pot when you see that the time is almost there." Chen Chen packed the meal he wanted to eat and wanted to go back to the hospital to eat it again, so as not to let the nurse's sister find out that he was missing and talk to him again.

When Chen Chen happily left the small restaurant with a lunch box on his front foot, Yan Shu, who was in a suit and leather shoes, arrived at the door of the store with his hind feet.

"What would you like to eat, sir?" The shopkeeper was obviously happy to get a pot of delicious soup and personally came out to entertain Yan Shu.

Yan Shu followed him into the store, his brows never relaxed. He has always been picky about food, and even his mother's three meals a day who lives in the hospital are personally responsible for it, but there have been a lot of things recently, and he just sent Mr. Qinghe away yesterday, and he didn't have much time to prepare today.

Mother has just returned from a ghost gate and needs to make up for herself, otherwise he would not have come to this small restaurant where the sanitary conditions are not very good and the level is average.

The shopkeeper saw that Yan Shu had not spoken, and saw that the suit he was wearing was particularly elegant, and at a glance he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

Seeing his hesitation, the boss took the initiative to serve him a bowl of chicken soup: "Young man, try the chicken soup we just boiled here, it's fragrant." I see that you also came out of the hospital just now, do you have a family living in the hospital, chicken soup has the best effect on the body, take some with you. ”

Yan Shu dispelled the last trace of doubt, sat down next to the small table, and took a sip gently.

Originally, he didn't have much hope, and Yan Shu didn't expect that the level of chicken soup in the store was no less than that of his own five-star hotel.

Unwilling to believe that the taste he tasted was similar to the dish Li Huan had made before, Yan Shu casually ordered another dish of shredded potatoes and meat, and sure enough, the taste was average, only the bowl of chicken soup was a familiar delicacy.

"Boss, there's something wrong with your food." Yan Shu put down his chopsticks, still with a frozen poker face.

The shopkeeper who was called thought that there was something big wrong with his store, shook his hand, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Shu pointed to the half-drunk chicken soup and the shredded potatoes and meat on the side, and said, "The taste of the two dishes is completely different, I'm not interested in anything else, you just have to tell me, who made this bowl of chicken soup?" ”

"This ...... I don't know who he is, but wearing the uniform of the Essen Hotel, he just came to borrow the kitchen from me, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I asked him to cook some dishes for himself. This chicken soup is what he left. ”

"Are you sure it's the Essen Hotel?" Yan Shu tilted his head, could it be that Li Huan ran over?

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, sure he was right.

Yan Shu pondered for a moment: "Help me pack a portion of chicken soup and make some light side dishes." ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

The boss packed the takeaway ordered by Yan Shu as quickly as possible.

After taking the food for his mother, Yan Shu quickened the pace of returning to the hospital.

At the same time, Chen Chen also finished eating, and since he knew that he was not sick, he strongly requested to go through the discharge procedures, and passed by Yan Shu again in the hospital hall.

"Chen Chen, take the formalities." The nurse sister in the window shouted, and her voice reached Yan Shu's ears, without causing half a ripple.

Yes, he didn't know who made the food he had eaten for so long, let alone his name, and how he could react to a stranger's name.

Thinking about chicken soup and Li Huan, Yan Shu took care of his mother and had dinner, so he hurried back to the hotel, regardless of the backlog of work in the past two days, and went straight to the back kitchen.

Noon was the busiest time in the back kitchen, and the people who came and went were very chaotic, and when they saw Yan Shu coming, everyone cheered up, for fear that they would not do their best enough.

"Manager Wang, come here."

Manager Wang immediately trotted to Yan Shu's side: "Mr. Yan, do you have anything to order?" He intuitively felt that Yan Shu was in a state of anger now, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with his cold gaze.

"Can you find Li Huan now? I asked him something. Yan Shu glanced inside, but did not find Li Huan's figure, and his heart was even more irritable.

Manager Wang hesitated: "Now is the busiest time, I wonder if Mr. Yan can wait for a while?" After a while, I'll call him to your office. ”

Thinking about the gains and losses, Yan Shu still didn't force it, but the doubts in his heart were still there, so he simply asked Manager Wang directly for verification: "Well, that's okay, you tell me now, did Li Huan leave the hotel just now?" ”

"Not really, he's been helping out in the back kitchen since this morning, and it's no different except that he's more diligent than before."

Hearing this, Yan Shu had a general conclusion in his heart, and left the back kitchen without looking back.

Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Yan Shu interlaced his fingers and tapped the back of his index finger, which was a habitual action when he was thinking.

Before Li Huan came up, Yan Shu was so concerned about one thing for the first time, he was restless, and he couldn't make the most accurate judgment at work, so he simply gave up his work and took a nap on the sofa in the office.

"Click!"

After a while, there was a knock on the door, disrupting his sleep.

"Mr. Yan, it's me, Li Huan." Li Huan's voice sounded a little excited, probably thinking that Yan Shu might be giving him a chance when he saw him again, so before going upstairs, he replied to Chen Chen's text message and took the opportunity to win over Chen Chen. Poor Chen Chen's child still thinks that his brother Li is only really good to him, and he is reluctant to be angry with him all the time, and he is so happy that he chokes on him.

"Come in." Yan Shu smoothed the folds on his clothes and sat upright on the sofa, not angry and arrogant.

Waiting for Li Huan to come in and stand in front of him, Yan Shu asked again: "Yesterday, Mr. Qinghe was very dissatisfied, and I was also very angry, now I will give you a chance to explain, I just need the facts, don't make excuses." ”

"I, I just really didn't play well, and I have no other excuses." Li Huan clung to this point and did not let go, still holding out hope that he would return to the position of head chef.

"Oh? Is it? Yan Shu stood up, "Okay, let's go down and try it together, you finish a dish alone in front of me." ”

Li Huan was startled, his legs were weak, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, if he retreats, there will be no room for recovery, some time ago I watched Chen Chen cook many times, Li Huan decided to imitate it and try his luck.

So the two of them went to the back kitchen one after the other, and other employees who saw this kind of battle for the first time watched one after another, discussing how Yan Shu wanted to embarrass Li Huan and how Li Huan disappointed.

Yan Shu ignored the surrounding voices, and only watched Li Huan cook, Li Huan was very confident in the first half, and the gorgeous knife work aroused everyone's admiration, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence.

Li Huan just messed up once yesterday, and now Yan Shu asked to do it in person, and after cutting all the ingredients, he looked at the wok, not knowing what to do. But surrounded by colleagues, he could only imitate Chen Chen's previous process and make a phoenix fly out.

Just looking at the appearance, it is not much different from before, Yan Shu looked at it and picked up the chopsticks.

Sure enough, after Yan Shu tasted it, he found that it was not the taste at all, and immediately spit out the half-chewed dish into the trash, and glanced at Li Huan coldly the moment he raised his head, and the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

Knowing that he was at a loss, Li Huan no longer struggled to the death, drooped his head, and admitted his mistake: "I, I admit it, my cooking skills are very average." ”

"And then?" Manager Wang, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Li Huan to question.

Li Huan glanced at Yan Shu and found that the other party's gaze was still on him and never left, his heart was so weak that his legs were weak, and he stammered and explained: "Then, then...... I didn't make the dishes myself, I just put them on the plate. ”

"Including the first sandwich I had?" Yan Shu said coldly.

"Well, including the time when Mr. Yan appointed me to be the head chef. In fact, the sandwich was secretly made by a person named 'Chen Chen' in the back kitchen with public ingredients, and he was afraid of being blamed, so he didn't dare to admit it. ”

Chen Chen? It's familiar, it seems to have been heard somewhere.

Li Huan knew that Yan was always really angry, even worse than yesterday, and if he didn't confess, he might not be able to eat and walk around, so he hurriedly said: "When Manager Wu came to ask for someone, I had the courage to stand up for him. But I didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect that I would appoint you as the head chef of Aisen without even thinking about it?" Yan Shu interrupted him, his expression was indifferent, as if he had watched a farce, but this time he was blinded by the farce, and he was inevitably angry.

"I really just wanted to take advantage of it, and I didn't think about doing the latter things. But you also know that the greed of the human heart is endless, and I can't stop it at all. Li Huan was very sincere in reflection.

"Hmph, wouldn't it be too disgusting to reflect on it now, why did you know what to do? From today onwards, you will either resign or leave your job, or I will be responsible for cleaning up the kitchen waste, and you will no longer have to interfere in the kitchen. ”

Yan Shu turned to Manager Wang and asked, "Where is Chen Chen now?" ”

"Probably still in the hospital." Manager Wang replied immediately, looking at Li Huan getting the result he deserved, showing a subtle smile.

"Send someone to check on his condition, and all the medical expenses will be paid by the company." Yan Shu turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, the director of the catering department heard that Yan Shu had tested Li Huan in person, so he hurried from the office and stood up silently when he heard Yan Shu's words.

"That, Mr. Yan, you don't need to send someone to ......"

"Why?" Yan Shu frowned, and his obviously unhappy look made the supervisor subconsciously tighten his neck.

"Chen Chen, Chen Chen, he has just called to resign......"
