Delicious! Li Huan's eyes widened in surprise.

The fragrant taste, moderate sweetness and sourness, slowly tasted, the sweetness has several layers, except for a little burnt outside, the meat inside is surprisingly tender.

Not to mention the chef in the back kitchen, no, even the chef may not be able to make such an excellent dish!

Such an excellent dish turned out to be made by a small worker who did rough work, and Li Huankong couldn't help but be surprised in his eyes.

After tasting this piece of meat, Li Huan was suddenly full of confidence, it doesn't matter if Chen Chen's work can't be put on the table, what he is best at is plating, three times five divided by two, Chen Chen's work will take on a new look.

Even Chen Chen himself couldn't close his mouth in surprise: "Brother Li, you are too powerful, you are so beautified, I can't see that I made these dishes." ”

"Haha," Li Huan patted him on the shoulder, "It's really hard for you today, hurry up and rest for a while, if the food can be tried, brother, I'll invite you to dinner!" ”

Chen Chen was so happy when he heard that he was invited to dinner: "Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Li's good news!" ”

Yan Shu sat at the dining table, with all kinds of dishes in front of him, which were much better than the sandwiches in the morning, and they were finally pleasing to the eye.

Yan Shu tried to taste the first bite, the meat was soft and delicious, the sauce was sweet and sour, and there was a different flavor that no other chef could imitate. He chewed slowly, feeling as if he had really found a talent.

After the meal, Yan Shu pulled the corner of the napkin, wiped his mouth gently, and waved Manager Wu over.

"I want to see the chef."

Li Huan stood in front of Mr. Yan nervously again, and Manager Wang also followed.

"Mr. Yan, if you are dissatisfied with today's dishes, please tell me, I will instruct the kitchen to improve." Manager Wang said respectfully.

"I'm not satisfied." Yan Shu took a sip of coffee and put it down, "What I'm not satisfied with is that there is such an excellent talent in the back kitchen, and you only arranged for him to be a helper." ”

"This ......" Manager Wang was puzzled, when recruiting, Li Huan obviously only said that he was good at knife work, and he hadn't seen him show any cooking talent for so long.

Yan Shu didn't want to embarrass him, and waved his hand: "What's your name?" ”

Li Huan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and Mr. Yan asked himself.

"Mr. Yan, my name is Li Huan, Huan Huan."

"From today onwards, Li Huan will be promoted to be the head chef, and the salary, bonuses, and benefits will all be given the highest treatment according to the hotel's standards."

Li Huan was overjoyed when he heard it: "Thank you, Mr. Yan!" ”

Manager Wang was extremely surprised, thinking that Li Huan didn't know what luck he had, maybe the taste of cooking was in line with Mr. Yan's preferences.

"I know Mr. Yan, I will inform the personnel side."

Yan Shu nodded and left the restaurant, leaving the ecstatic Li Huan and the confused Manager Wang.

"Anyway, congratulations on becoming a chef, do a good job."

Li Huan nodded excitedly: "I will definitely work hard!" That's right, Manager Wang. ”

"What's the matter?"

Knowing that Li Huan had been recognized by Mr. Yan, Manager Wang's attitude towards him became obviously pleasant.

"I'd like to appoint a cooker to do it for me."

"Oh?" Chefs have the right to appoint assistant chefs, and they have always been like this, "Who do you want?" ”

"Chen Chen."

"Chen Chen?" Manager Wang was surprised, he originally thought that Li Huan would choose an experienced one from the existing cooks.

"I know Chen Chen the best, I don't worry about him working, and we have a tacit understanding together."

Manager Wang thought of the two of them working together just now, and didn't think much about it.

"Okay, then let him take your place. Knowing that the two of you have a good relationship, you don't forget to pull him when you are promoted, you are very interesting. ”

Li Huan smiled and continued: "It's not easy for a child to come out alone to make a living, if you can help, try to help, then I'll thank Manager Wang for him first." ”

Chen Chen sneezed, huh? It looks like someone is talking about me.

He had been hungry all morning, and the last thing he lacked in the back kitchen of the hotel was food, but he looked around and circled, and he was not interested in anything to eat.

This one is too fat, that one is too greasy, this one is too sweet, that one is too spicy...... I can't see any of the things I usually like to eat today, and Chen Chen doesn't know what's wrong with him, if he starves to death, he must be the first hypocritical emperor in history to starve to death in the food pile.

Why don't you nibble on a flower roll, Chen Chen grabbed a small cream flower roll, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and a nausea feeling arose. He couldn't help but run to the bathroom again, vomiting everything in his mouth and retching a few times.

Oh my God, what's wrong with me, I vomited for the second time in just one morning, I can't be really sick, right?

Chen Chen rinsed his mouth and looked at himself in the mirror with red circles under his eyes due to vomiting, hoping that it would not be what he feared. Now the medical expenses are not cheap, and he has no spare money.

After cleaning himself up, Chen Chen returned to the back kitchen, and saw that the trial dishes he prepared for Li Huan had not been taken away, and there were still some left.

Those dishes made his appetite move when he saw them, and no one ate them anyway, so in order to avoid waste, he simply ate them all in one go.

Chen Chen devoured it only to find out how his appetite had become so large, just like two people.

And is this really a dish he makes? It's so delicious! Does he really have a talent for cooking?

Li Huan and Manager Wang came in with a smile and laughter, and such a scene would never exist in the past.

Li Huan saw Chen Chen from afar: "Manager Wang, Chen Chen is over there, shall I inform him?" ”

"Okay, tell him yourself." He patted Li Huan's shoulder enthusiastically, "I will rely on you in the future, don't embarrass our catering department, I will also try the dishes you cook when I have time." ”

"Don't worry, Manager Wang."

Li Huan straightened his uniform, found Chen Chen, and decided to tell him the good news in person.

"What's so happy?" Chen Chen asked Li Huan, who was walking towards him in high spirits.

Li Huan coughed and said, "I have been officially promoted to the head chef of the hotel." ”

Hearing this, Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, chef? A chef who is one level higher than an ordinary chef? A back-of-house chef at the same level as an assistant manager? Li Huan is simply amazing!

"Really? Congratulations, Brother Li! Oh no, it's Chef Lee! Chen Chen's eyes were full of joy, he was not stammering, but happy for him in his heart.

Li Huan smiled and narrowed his eyes: "I have another good news to inform you, do you want to hear it?" ”

"What's the good news, Brother Li? You can't be inviting me to dinner, right? ”

Li Huan coughed twice, and said, "Congratulations on becoming my assistant cook, you don't have to do small jobs in the future." ”

Helping the cook?

"Did I hear me right? Brother Li, you just said to help cook? I? ”

"Is there anyone else here besides you and me?"

One after another surprises struck, Chen Chen couldn't believe that he had been doing a small job for so long, he really didn't expect that he could be promoted.

"Brother Li......"

"What? Aren't you happy? ”

"Thank you, woo woo, you're such a nice guy." Chen Chen was so moved that he pounced on the other party, and his invisible tail wagged behind him.

"What's polite, I'll treat you to dinner in the afternoon, I promised you." Li Huan grabbed Chen Chen's shoulders and spoke boldly.

"Huh? But I've just eaten the leftovers, and now I'm holding on so much that I can't eat anymore. Chen Chen is very sorry.

When Li Huan heard this, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, it's okay, my brother will remember it for you, and you will definitely be indispensable." ”

Chen Chen nodded happily: "Hmm! ”

"Let's go to the personnel side to go through the formalities, I'll go too."

"Good! Ah no, I'll go back when I'm done cleaning up the operation room, otherwise Manager Wang will see it and say it again. ”

Li Huan also saw the remaining vegetable scraps in the sink and the kitchen utensils scattered around: "Just leave these things to the small workers, you will be my assistant chef from now on, and you don't need to do these dirty work." ”

"It's okay, I'm getting used to it before I know it. Brother Li, you go first, this is my last day as a small worker, and I want to finish the work. Chen Chen insisted on this, Li Huan shook his head, it was not good to say more.

After Li Huan left, Chen Chen cleaned the kitchen cleanly, and he was not lazy at all. The hotel has very strict requirements for the hygiene of the kitchen, and it is not necessarily necessary that there will be a leader to check it at any time.

If the leader of his own family finds the problem, it is fine, if he is caught by the health department, the reputation of the hotel will be greatly affected, and Chen Chen does not dare to relax for a moment.

"Hey, where did you put this spoon?" Chen Chen couldn't help but wonder when he saw the steel spoon on the gas. He walked over and picked up the spoon, which was still covered with a dark light, and he could smell a faint fragrance when he sniffed it, and he guessed that it had been missed.

Chen Chen got closer and sniffed it, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick it, this is ...... Chef Liu's special honey!

Chen Chen frowned, couldn't wait to spit the remaining sauce on the tip of his tongue into the sink, and drank a large glass of water to rinse his mouth.

What, there is too much MSG, so fresh that it is outrageous, did Chef Liu miss it?

Chen Chen's stomach began to feel uncomfortable, but fortunately, the kitchen had been tidied up, and he could leave work early when he was on the morning shift. I barely supported myself and returned home, and as soon as I entered the door, I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep with my head covered by the quilt.

Li Huan's cooking skills have been personally recognized by the president, and he naturally immediately became a hotel celebrity, and the people who helped the kitchen with Li Huan in the past also began to get close to him. But Li Huan, who has ascended to the sky one step by one, looks down on his former colleagues, and even the chefs who are one level lower than him don't pay much attention to it.

Chen Chen watched the people around Li Huan come and go every day, and no one got a good face from Li Huan, only he was looked at differently, and he was more and more grateful to Li Huan in his heart.

He thought to himself: Brother Li has a straight temper, looks down on people who tend to be inflammatory, and is indifferent to other people's initiative to curry favor, but he didn't forget to pull me when he was developed, and I will definitely repay this kindness.

The fame of the Aisen Hotel has begun, and more and more famous people have made a special trip to designate Li Huan to be in charge, and Yan Shu often names him to eat the dishes he cooks.

Li Huan was afraid that he would use Chen Chen's matter to be exposed, so he always tried his best to avoid others when cooking, and did not allow anyone to watch.

But he can stop others, but he can't stop the manager, Manager Wu received a call from the secretary and came over to inform Li Huan:

"Chef Li, Mr. Yan is coming to the restaurant for dinner today, you can prepare it."

After Manager Wu finished speaking, he saw that Li Huan was cutting the knife himself, but Chen Chen was standing on the side and had nothing to do, so he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you?" ”

Li Huan was taken aback by the sudden arrival of Manager Wu, and saw that Chen Chen was also panicked, and immediately explained: "This kid is used to being a small worker, and his hands and feet are numb, but a delicate thing like knife work can't live or die." No, I had to teach him by hand, and I would have more helpers when I got busy in the future. ”

Manager Wu believed his words, nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it, if you really can't do it, let Manager Wang change you to a cook, who is skilled in knife skills." You're already a chef, so there's no need to do it yourself, and for those who don't know each other, let them go down and practice on their own. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Chen Chen with dissatisfaction.

Li Huan answered with a smile: "No, no, Xiaochen and I have a tacit understanding, but I don't adapt to someone else." ”

After all, it was an idle matter in the back kitchen, and Manager Wu didn't bother to care, so he left after notifying Li Huan. Seeing his back disappear behind the door, Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew...... Fortunately, Brother Li, you reacted quickly, otherwise I would definitely be scolded miserably. Chen Chen exhaled exaggeratedly, looking like a three-year-old child had done something wrong.

Li Huan patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Which of us is with whom." Ouch, after cutting the vegetables for a while, my old arm is starting to hurt again, and I will hand over Mr. Yan's meal to you. ”

"Uh-huh, no problem."

Now that he has gained fame and appreciation, Chen Chen is stupid and doesn't know, Li Huan simply asks Chen Chen to cook every time, anyway, as long as he loads the plate by himself in the end, no one knows that Chen Chen made it.

After Chen Chen finished most of the dishes, Li Huan almost put the previous dishes on the plate, and each dish looked beautiful and delicious, making people salivate. In order to achieve this, Li Huan also used a lot of pigments behind Chen Chen's back.

"Ah, Brother Li, there is too much sauce on this dish!" Chen Chen turned around and saw Li Huan bending over to pour sauce on the steak, his tongue tightened, as if he could taste the excessive seasoning.

Li Huan didn't care, waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way at all." ”

"......"

"Mr. Yan has already come, how is the dish done?"

Chen Chen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the waiter who came in to urge the food, and he had no choice but to watch the steak that was not perfect in his eyes being taken away.
