Chapter 245: Young Chef
In Ke Hong's view, there are two kinds of people in this world who can't be believed casually. One is someone who never gives a clear promise, and the other is someone who gives a clear promise casually. And Zhou Xin, whom Su Man met, was the first kind of person. However, the existence of people like Zhou Xin is also a kind of irony for Ke Hong, the other party does have something that he doesn't have.
That's the experience. Although Ke Hong has gained some memories from the future, compared to the experiences of people like Zhou Xin, his experiences are a little insignificant.
Therefore, Ke Hong has an impulse to go around the world and see for a long time. However, after all, people still have a lot to worry about, and not everyone can make up their minds about a trip that they can go.
"Ah Hong?" Dong Qingyue called out from the side, calling Ke Hong's attention back from his contemplation. Ke Hong came back to his senses, looked at the time, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: fortunately, he didn't overboil the thick soup.
"I just talked to you, didn't you hear?" Dong Qingyue frowned slightly.
"Hmm, I'm sorry." Ke Hong replied in a low voice, "What did you just say?" ”
Dong Qingyue regained her old OL outfit today, her hair was tied up, and she repeated dissatisfiedly: "I said, tomorrow afternoon I will go to interview those new chefs, you have to be mentally prepared......
"Hmm. Got it. Ke Hong tasted the thick soup, and then nodded with satisfaction. But Dong Qingyue was obviously not satisfied with this answer, she grabbed Ke Hong's arm, made him face herself, and asked, "Ah Hong, what's wrong with you lately?" It seems to be a little absent-minded all the time, and I occasionally wander when I talk to you. You've never been like this before, is there something on your mind? ”
"Sort of." Ke Hong pursed his lips and said, "I just feel that I still have too little experience, not good enough......"
"Yo," Dong Qingyue stared at Ke Hong with interest and smiled, "What's wrong with my family Ah Hong?" Aren't you usually very confident? What happened? Why do you suddenly think so? ”
Ke Hong briefly explained yesterday's events to Dong Qingyue, and Dong Qingyue couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and laughed wildly. Ke Hong said angrily: "Thank you so much for your comfort!" Very useful! ”
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry" Dong Qingyue held back a smile, and then touched Ke Hong's brain. Fool, you're only twenty-two years old, and some things just need to accumulate time. Why are you in a hurry about this? ”
"Well, because I want to be better." Ke Hong said worriedly. In this way, they are worthy of these goddesses.
"You're already very good, the most important thing for a boy is self-motivation, responsibility and love." Dong Qingyue smiled earnestly, "Ah Hong, you have all three, and the rest will naturally have it." Besides, you see what happened to that man even if he was mature and knowledgeable. Not a scumbag yet? Do you want to be like him? If you become like that, my sister won't like you. ”
"To give you an example." Ke Hong shrugged his shoulders and explained, "Of course I don't have those bad habits. ”
"That's how good it is." Dong Qingyue touched Ke Hong's brain and smiled, "Prepare tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Stephen will also be there in person, there are many people for this interview, chefs from all over the world, but you can speak English, it shouldn't matter." ”
"I see." Ke Hong nodded, and then smiled bitterly. "Also, thank you for your comfort."
A loving smile appeared in Dong Qingyue's eyes, and then she suddenly hugged Ke Hong into her arms, pressed Ke Hong's head and pressed it against her neck, a sweet and sour fresh apple fragrance came to her nose, Ke Hong felt as if he was wrapped in cotton.
"Okay, cheer up and work hard." Dong Qingyue said, gently pinching Ke Hong's face.
"Hmm......" Ke Hong said a little embarrassed, and the expressions of the other people in the kitchen looking at him at this moment were a little subtle. But it's no wonder. Obviously, everyone "knows" the relationship between Ke Hong and Dong Qingyue.
However, even Mr. Stephen would be present for the interview the next day, so Ke Hong naturally had to pay more attention to this matter.
Night. When Ke Hong was "preparing" for the next day's interview in the apartment, he heard Ye Wanjun's sweet call ringing from the balcony, so he opened the balcony door and came outside, Ye Wanjun in home clothes was as sweet as ever.
"Ah Hong, aren't you going to work out tonight?" Ye Wanjun asked curiously on the balcony next door, "It's almost seven o'clock." ”
Ke Hong smiled and said, "Ah." I'm going to a restaurant tomorrow to interview new employees, so I'm going to prepare tonight. ”
"Prepare what?" Ye Wanjun asked curiously, "Do you have any knowledge of being a chef?" ”
"I don't have any knowledge of being a chef," Ke Hong said with a wry smile, "I just prepared a la carte, so that when people have opinions about me, I can take it out and let people see it, so as to prove that I really have some ability." ”
"Then I'm going to try it!" Ye Wanjun said happily, but then said distressedly: "But I've gained a lot of weight recently." ”
"Let me see, where are you fat?" Ke Hong teased with a smile, Ye Wanjun pursed her lips, and then said mischievously: "Wait for me to change my clothes and come over and you will see." ”
These words actually made Ke Hong misunderstand at the first time, he originally thought that Ye Wanjun would come over in some sexy costume, but soon he shook his head and sobered himself up: Impossible, Wanjun is a goddess.
Sure enough, when Ye Wanjun came over, she changed into a set of black skinny sportswear, with a black sports vest on the upper body and black leggings on the lower body......
Ye Wanjun's figure, although it is not as concave and convex as Dong Qingyue and Qin Shuyu, nor as perfect as Su Man's lines, but it is particularly symmetrical, and the round and wonderful arcs look very comfortable. The most important thing is that Ye Wanjun is actually very short, only 1.62 meters, and she looks like a bird, which is a delicate and lovely feature that the other three do not have
It is really rare for such a small girl to have such a slender and graceful feeling at the same time. Ye Wanjun stood next to Ke Hong, and the little brain melon had actually just reached his mouth, which happened to be the cutest height difference. And Ye Wanjun is wearing this, in addition to the sexiness set off by black, there is also an indescribable ...... Handsome. Presumably the reason for sportswear.
"Look, have you gained a lot of weight lately?" Ye Wanjun muttered aggrievedly, Ke Hong admired Ye Wanjun's wonderful arc, and said helplessly: "I don't see how fat I am." ”
"But I've gained two kilograms!" Ye Wanjun's beautiful eyes widened and said, "Actually, I think it's all Ah Hong's fault, the food you cook is so delicious, and my food has increased a lot recently." “
"Yes, Grandma. It's all my fault, and I'll try to make dishes that are delicious and won't make you fat. Ke Hong held his chin and said with a happy smile. Although he also doesn't know where this happiness comes from.
"That's good." Ye Wanjun nodded with satisfaction and smiled, Ke Hong asked with a smile: "That." Don't you matter now? The dishes I make don't guarantee that you won't gain weight. ”
"It's okay, I'm going to do yoga later." Ye Wanjun smiled sweetly, "Moreover, I have come to my aunt recently, and the weight loss effect will be better." It's okay to eat a little more. ”
"Really? Then you should pay attention to keeping warm recently, it has been autumn recently, so don't catch a cold. Ke Hong instructed softly.
"Yes." Ye Wanjun nodded obediently, "Let me see what are delicious, right?" ”
The next day, Ke Hong came to Dong Qingyue's shop early in the morning, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he saw Mr. Stephen's Rolls-Royce, and immediately laughed secretly, pushed the door and walked in. At this time, the store has not officially opened. Coffee and food pairings are only available from 9 a.m. Lunch is served at 11 a.m.
However, it was just eight o'clock this morning, and the store had already opened, just for today's important "interview".
"Where's Satsuki?" Seeing Yang Lan coming towards him, Ke Hong asked curiously.
"It's already in the office, you can go too, the interview will start in ten minutes." Yang Lan said a little nervously.
Seeing this, Ke Hong couldn't help but be curious: "Why are you so nervous, is it the first time to have an interview?" Impossible, right? ”
"That's because you don't know what level of people are interviewing this time!" Yang Lan said angrily, and handed a stack of essays in his hand to Ke Hong: "Let's take a look at their resumes for yourself!" Here are a few of the better ones I picked! ”
Ke Hong flipped through it briefly. Suddenly sighed: "I'll it, good fellow......"
"Mr. Stephen seems to be very famous abroad, I heard that it is a restaurant that he invested, and many famous chefs from abroad have come to apply!" Yang Lan gritted his teeth. "These chefs can't be accommodated in a small shop like ours!"
Indeed, the seven or eight resumes that Yang Lan gave him, those on them all have quite rich qualifications and quite dazzling achievements, such as a chef competition, or a chef or sous chef in a restaurant with a Mickey star star, in short, Ke Hong is nothing in front of them. But Yang Lan's statement made Ke Hong a little dissatisfied.
"Chefs are here to cook, what a small shop or a big store." Ke Hong frowned and said: "Many three-star Michelin restaurants are not many luxury restaurants, but those small but very warm restaurants. A little confidence in Satsuki and Satsuki's restaurant! ”
"Good! You're awesome, you're right! Get on board! Yang Lan said angrily and pushed Ke Hong into the office.
When they entered, Dong Qingyue and Mr. Stephen were already inside. Dong Qingyue is still dressed like usual, while Mr. Stephen is wearing a gray suit today, and he doesn't even wear a tie, which is very casual and idle.
"Oh? Chef Ke is here. Stephen smiled wisely as before, "So, I think we can start the interview, let's go to the kitchen, right?" ”
The interview process is actually very simple, let these chefs make their best dish, and then Ke Hong, Dong Qingyue and Mr. Stephen take turns to taste it, and finally make a one-time decision on which chefs can stay and which chefs have to leave. However, observing these chefs cooking is also an eye-opener for Ke Hong.
He actually knows a lot of cooking skills, but Ke Hong is really the first time he has seen these low-temperature cooking methods, ovens and freeze grinders. In fact, these things are not necessary, and the same effect can be achieved through guò frying pans, ovens, etc., but these high-end tools can simplify the process, and to put it bluntly, after technology, it is not so test the chef's skills.
In fact, everyone's cooking is quite delicious, but Ke Hong is not so satisfied with many of them.
Although it was Mr. Stephen who made the final decision, Mr. Stephen would ask Ke Hong for his opinion in detail about everyone's cooking and conduct. Ke Hong also commented on the chefs on the scene one by one.
Ke Hong doesn't really value cooking techniques or techniques, but the person's character, which is also what he is good at. He could see the person's character and vegetarianism through guò psychology, so he provided Mr. Stephen with most of this information, and as for the cuisine, although he was a chef, he was not a gourmet, and Mr. Stephen must have known it in terms of cooking.
"So, I declare the last chef left." Mr. Stephen clasped his hands on his chin and smiled and read out a series of names to the chefs, but surprisingly, almost none of the chefs with rich qualifications and high-end skills remained. On the contrary, it was the young and unqualified chefs who stayed.
Seven of the chefs left behind were young people about the same age as Ke Hong, and the remaining five were older chefs who had opened their own restaurants but had not studied cooking. One of them is Japanese, one is American, one is French, and the rest are local chefs. For this result, it is not only these hired chefs who are surprised.
"Why!? In terms of seniority and cooking, we are worse than them! The famous old chef stopped Mr. Stephen and asked unwillingly.
"I know you're going to ask, and I'm telling you that you probably won't believe it, so I'm going to show you directly." Mr. Stephen said with a smile, then put his arm around Ke Hong's shoulder, "Come and meet your chef." ”
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar, obviously not thinking that the chef would be such a young chef, and he didn't even seem to have graduated from college. And Ke Hong was also a little embarrassed, and waved his hand to everyone with a dry smile: "Hello everyone......"
"Chef Ke must have prepared a few exquisite dishes last night, and he plans to show off his skills today, right?" Mr. Stephen asked with a smile, and then pulled Ke Hong to the front of the stove, "It just so happens that it's almost lunchtime at this time, and you will be responsible for everyone's lunch today, no problem, right?" ”
With that, Mr. Stephen turned to the crowd: "After eating, you will understand." (To be continued.) )
