Chapter 303: Grumpy Sous Chef
"What are you doing!?" Ke Hong hurriedly pressed the mobile phone in the girl's hand, lowered his voice and asked in shock and anger. The girl named Dong Xiang replied with a smile: "What do you say? Seeing a pervert who openly touches someone's girl's ass on the street, of course it's a police call. Anyway, I can't control you, so I have to ask Uncle Police. β
Dong Qingyue looked at Ke Hong curiously, then at Dong Xiang, and asked, "You two, do you know?" β
"I don't know!" Ke Hong and Dong Xiang said in unison.
"He touched my ass on the street, and I caught him and didn't let me call the police." Dong Xiang turned to Dong Qingyue and said with a smile, "At that time, I couldn't beat him, and I was in a hurry, so I had to compromise first." But now God really has eyes, and I have touched it again. β
Dong Qingyue was a little, not so much surprised, but looked at Ke Hong with interest and asked, "Ah Hong, is it true?" Did you touch someone's ass? β
"So it's a misunderstanding." Ke Hong said helplessly, "I tell you, this woman doesn't know whether she can only understand part of Chinese or only selectively listen to what she wants to hear, anyway, how many times she explained to her that she just didn't listen!" β
"Because the fact that you touched my ass won't change." Dong Xiang smiled sweetly.
Ke Hong was choked for a while, and became a little anxious: "But ......"
"I don't think Ah Hong is such a person, there are a lot of beautiful girls next to Ah Hong." Dong Qingyue smiled bitterly, "He always behaves very gentlemanly and gentle, he has many opportunities, but he has never done such a thing." β
"Hey, Yueyue, it's easy for people to misunderstand when you say that." Ke Hong smiled helplessly.
"Oh? Is there something about me that triggers his bestiality? Dong Xiang asked puzzled, looking down at her dress, "Is it stockings or a short skirt?" β
"It's so hard to communicate with this person." Ke Hong said helplessly, and turned to Dong Qingyue, "When I went upstairs, I saw a pervert secretly filming her skirt with her mobile phone, so I wanted to step forward to stop it." But when I reached out to grab the pervert's hand, he suddenly let go. I couldn't hold my hand and pressed it on her ass. Can you translate it for me? β
Dong Qingyue turned to Dong Xiang with a smile and said, "That, Ah Hong said so, what do you think?" β
"But he didn't have any evidence against anyone else, but he touched my ass and I caught him." Dong Xiang said simply.
"Because I said I'm going to chase that pervert. Let her look at her phone and understand, but she just won't let her. Ke Hong said angrily, and then Ke Hong frowned, "Wait, you said this girl is a sous chef?" β
Dong Qingyue nodded and smiled: "Yes." She's here for an interview. Considering that your requirements are quite special, the content of this interview will have to be verified by you before you can find out, right? β
Dong Xiang covered his mouth and said in surprise: "So he is the chef here?" Oh my God, will you be infected and become a pervert after eating the food he cooks? β
"I don't think she's the right person to be a sous chef here." Ke Hong laughed angrily, "How can a person who can't cooperate with the chef be a sous chef?" So, I think it's better to change someone. β
Dong Xiang suddenly frowned: "You still threaten me with work?" It's so bad, it's the first time I've seen a man as bad as you. Boss, I don't think you can decide so arbitrarily based on his words. β
"But...... Hong is the chef here, and most of the recipes here are created by him. If you can't cooperate with him, we'll really have to think about other people. Dong Qingyue smiled regretfully.
Dong Xiang pursed her lips, stared at Ke Hong for a while, and then turned to Dong Qingyue: "I know, it's a big deal if I don't call the police." This job is important to me, I need this income, can you give me a chance, boss? β
After speaking, Dong Xiang glared at Ke Hong vigilantly: "However, this time you touch my buttocks." If at work you want to take advantage of me. Or use work to threaten me to comply, and I will definitely call the police.
"I think you're thinking too highly of yourself." Ke Hong said with a smile, a green tendon happily stirring at the corner of his forehead, "Anyway, why do you have to interview this girl?" She also has the surname Dong. Could it be your relative? β
"No, they're Japanese." Dong Qingyue shook her head and said, "Her name is Qiuyue Dong Xiang, she is a Japanese student in China, and she is also of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, and her family is a cooking family. She was a chef for a while in Japan. Having cooking experience, exaggerated perfectionism in cooking, and a keen sense of taste, doesn't it meet your requirements? β
Ke Honghu glanced at Dong Xiang suspiciously, and the other party also looked at him with some suspicion.
"Anyway, let's try it first." Ke Hong chose to compromise because the sooner he found the sous chef, the better, so that he would not affect his school life and could only come to work at the restaurant during the two peak meal hours a day.
Immediately, Ke Hong, Dong Qingyue and Dong Xiang came to the kitchen, Ke Hong washed his hands and put on his waistband, and began to prepare.
"Yueyue, is there anything you want to eat?" Ke Hong asked with a smile.
"Me? Whatever, you didn't make it for me......" Dong Qingyue said a little embarrassed.
"Who said that, of course you, as the boss, should also try it." Ke Hong frowned.
"Hmm...... Then I want to eat lobster pasta. Dong Qingyue thought about it, tilted her head and smiled, and then frowned: "But it's still morning, won't it be too heavy to eat this." β
"Lobster pasta, serve right away." Ke Hong said with a smile, and then started to get busy.
However, seeing Ke Hong busy in front of the stove, Dong Xiang frowned and shook his head all the time.
"What's wrong?" Dong Qingyue asked curiously, and Dong Xiang hugged his arm and said: "In our Japan, cooking is a very sacred thing for chefs, but he is here with a hippie smile and humming songs, and he doesn't take cooking too seriously." β
"But Ah Hong has always been like this, and I think it's good." Dong Qingyue smiled, "Don't you think it's a great thing to be intoxicated by cooking?" Does this mean that he really loves it? β
Dong Xiang pursed her lips, just shook her head and snorted coldly: "What's the use of just loving it, there are many people who like cooking, but not everyone can be a chef." Since you are a chef, you must have the corresponding skills and skills, as for enthusiasm? That's just an inconsequential appendage. β
"Hmm......" Dong Qingyue pondered for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I think Ah Hong's cooking should be able to convince you." β
Soon, three small portions of lobster pasta were placed in front of the two of them. Of course, in order to be used for an interview, Ke Hong did not let Dong Xiang see the materials he chose during the cooking process. He gestured to the three plates of lobster pasta in front of him. "Of the three lobster pasta, two plates are pasta that lacks the same ingredient, and only one dish has all the ingredients. β
As he spoke, Ke Hong waved his hand. Challenging Xiang Dong Qingyue smiled and said, "Come on, see if you can tell the difference." β
Dong Xiang smiled contemptuously, then picked up the knife and fork and prepared to taste it. And Ke Hong stopped Dong Qingyue, who wanted to taste it together, and said with a smile: "Yueyue, you can just eat the finished product directly after a while, I don't want you to eat those flawed dishes." β
Dong Xiang first tasted from the far left. After eating, a trace of surprise flashed on her face, and then she swept the provocative expression on Ke Hong's face, put aside her face and said: "The lobster is just right, but the meat is very tender, the taste of the cream sauce is very rich, and the garnish of okra and broccoli is just right, there are too many such vegetables, and the moisture in the vegetables will lead to the concentration of the sauce to become thinner, and the overall taste of the will be too light......"
Ke Hong narrowed his eyes at this time. Holding his arms and waiting for Dong Xiang to continue.
"But it's not that simple...... Dong Xiang closed his eyes, "this sauce is really amazing, so sticky and thick, with the smooth texture of pasta, it's really a perfect match." The most important thing about lobster pasta is the consistency of the sauce, too thin will lead to taste like noodle soup, and too thick will lead to too dry ......"
Speaking of this, Dong Xiangxiu frowned slightly: "Moreover, there is a special thick taste in this sauce." β
Dong Qingyue pondered for a while. Then he turned to Ke Hong and asked, "Is it garlic?" β
Ke Hong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "That's right, I added a little pickled and seasoned garlic to it." β
"Sure enough, the garlic makes the flavor richer. It adds layering......" Dong Xiang nodded.
Then, she began to taste the second lobster pasta, and her face flashed with pleasure: "Hmmmβthis thick texture is a little different from the first." There is no smell of minced garlic, but this thick flavor is extremely deep. The rich flavor of the sauce still echoes in your mouth after you eat it, and you can ...... in this pasta sauce."
Ke Hong looked at her proudly, Dong Xiang frowned, meditated for a while, and then looked at Ke Hong, her brows became tighter and tighter, and then she raised her index finger and said suddenly: "Yes...... Shrimp brain! Is that right!? β
"Holy?" Ke Hong was really a little surprised at this time, this girl's taste is really not covered.
Dong Xiang didn't wait for Ke Hong to answer, tasted another bite of lobster pasta, nodded and said, "It won't be wrong, it's shrimp brain." It's not much, but it's just right, and not only does it add to the viscosity of the sauce, but this thick lobster flavor is just perfect! β
In fact, Ke Hongjia's minced garlic and shrimp brain are very small, because these two are actually very strong ingredients, accompanied by bitterness and astringency, and adding a little more will bring negative effects and affect the original taste of lobster pasta. But he grasped it very well, but such a little weight, in such a little pasta, was really tasted by this girl.
"This is really genius," Dong Xiang couldn't help but sigh, and eagerly grabbed the last lobster pasta, "So, this plate should be the one with shrimp brains and minced garlic at the same time?" β
As he spoke, Dong Xiang rolled up a small portion of pasta and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly couldn't help but let out a moving moan.
"Come, Yueyue, taste it." Ke Hong smiled and put a piece of lobster pasta in Dong Qingyue's hand. Dong Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled, took the lobster pasta and tasted it, a trace of surprise flashed on her face: "It's delicious......"
"It's not just delicious, it's absolutely amazing!" Dong Xiang sighed in surprise, and then realized that he was praising Kehong, the pervert who touched her ass, and the expression on his face instantly turned cold, "Hmph, God is really blind and gave this talent to people like you." β
Ke Hong took a deep breath, although he still had a smile on his face, the blue tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly: "Anyway, it sounds like you have already recognized my level." I gotta say, you're really good. β
"So, it looks like you're both very fond of each other?" Dong Qingyue happily ate lobster pasta and asked with a smile, Ke Hong rolled his eyes, "As long as she doesn't have problems at work, I don't want to have anything to do with her in life." β
"Gee, that's great." Dong Xiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned to Dong Qingyue happily and smiled: "So, boss." Did I get the job? β
"Hmm...... It should be so, but there are still some details, we have a probationary period for a period of time......" Dong Qingyue said with a smile, "As long as there are no problems during this probationary period." Just ......"
"Great, thank you owner! Boss, you are so beautiful! Dong Xiang shook Dong Qingyue's hand and said happily, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, so the rent is finally settled." And they won't be driven back to their home countries. β
Ke Hong pursed his lips unhappily, but this was also good news for him, because then he would have more free time to deal with many things in his life, such as rehearsing with Qin Shuyu and Ye Wanjun.
However, this job really helped Dong Xiang. This job as a sous chef, although you don't need to cook it yourself, has high requirements for taste, so it can be regarded as a median income with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, which is enough to meet the expenses in the city.
"So, change your clothes and get to work, right? Lunch rush is coming soon. Before the rush season arrives, I would like to introduce you to you. Dong Qingyue said with a smile.
"Do you want to start working now?" Dong Xiang asked with some surprise, Dong Qingyue asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" β
"No, I'll go change my clothes right away!" Dong Xiang hurriedly replied, turned around and left, but suddenly stopped again, turned to Ke Hong behind him and said, "That, boss, please help me keep an eye on this person." β
Ke Hong just rolled his eyes, and Dong Qingyue smiled bitterly: "I know......"
After Dong Xiang left, Dong Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. Turning to Ke Hong, he smiled and said, "Great, Ah Hong." So quickly found the right sous chef. β
"Tsk, if it weren't for the urgency of time, I wouldn't have chosen her." Ke Hong replied angrily.
"Really? But I think she's a good fit. It should be a good fit for you. Dong Qingyue couldn't help but laugh.
"No kidding, I'm too lazy to associate with this kind of person who doesn't listen to others." As he spoke, Ke Hong reached out and pinched Dong Qingyue's little face, which was so tender that he could squeeze out the water, "Hurry up and eat your pasta." β
"I'm going to add this lobster pasta to the restaurant's menu." Dong Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "It's delicious." It's sure to be a hit. Why do you always come up with so many new recipes? β
"Because it's made for you to eat." Ke Hong touched Dong Qingyue's little brain and replied, "I'm going to work." β
After Ke Hong left, Dong Qingyue took small bites of pasta and sighed helplessly: "How can such a gentle Ah Hong touch other girls' buttocks on the street?" I want him to touch him......"
As she spoke, Dong Qingyue pursed her lips and went out to work with lobster pasta with cheerful steps.
When Ke Hong changed his clothes and came to the kitchen, Dong Qingyue was introducing Dong Xiang's identity and responsible work to everyone, while Dong Xiang greeted everyone timidly.
Most of the kitchen was full of old men, and when they saw such a cute little girl joining, they all boasted, "Ouch, such a cute sous chef." "I'm going to be much more motivated in the future."
"Hello everyone, please advise." Dong Xiang bowed politely to everyone one by one, especially polite and polite.
"Tsk, pretending to be reasonable...... Ke Hong thought a little angrily.
Then, the time came to twelve o'clock, and the first wave of dining peaks also arrived, and more than a dozen orders were delivered in an instant. But today, Ke Hong didn't have to taste all kinds of dishes, but was in charge of cooking, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"What is this doing!? Is it eaten by people? Dong Xiang roared in annoyance: "It's far from what Chef Ke did!" Your sauce is so sweet, so sweet! Try it for yourself! Take it back and redo it! β
This angry reprimand frightened Ke Hong almost dropped the spoon in his hand, this fierce and stern appearance was completely two extremes from the well-behaved and polite little girl before, and the chef who was scolded was also taken aback, tasted his sauce, and didn't seem to feel any difference, in fact, Ke Hong couldn't taste it, but since Dong Xiang said so, it should be right.
Therefore, when the chef looked at Ke Hong, Ke Hong nodded to him, and the other party had to take it back and redo it.
But that's not all, Dong Xiang yelled at almost everyone in the kitchen except Ke Hong next, asking them to take the finished product back and redo it. Although some of them are indeed problematic, most of them are at least no problem in Ke Hong's opinion. However, Dong Xiang is dissatisfied with the dishes made by these chefs for some reason.
Finally, someone broke out......
"Where it's too salty! A taste made by Chef Ke Mingming! Lao Zhao, who was in charge of making the sauce, finally couldn't help it, today he was the one who was criticized the most. Because he is in charge of the sauce program.
"What? And a taste made by Chef Ke? This is blasphemy! Dong Xiang said angrily, pushing the sauce in front of him, and because he was too excited, some of the sauce spilled out: "You can taste it again!" And then again! β
"It's the same no matter how I taste it, is there something wrong with your tongue!?" Lao Zhao roared angrily, "I just whined Xuanxuan on the first day I came." You stinky girl, how old do you think you are!? It's a big deal, I'm not doing it! β
After speaking, Lao Zhao smashed the chef's uniform in front of Dong Xiang hard, and spat viciously.
"Shut up!" Ke Hong scolded, Lao Zhao couldn't help but shudder, to say why Lao Zhao didn't accept Dong Xiang, because Dong Xiang had never "shown his hand" in front of them, and they had already seen Ke Hong's craftsmanship, and Ke Hong was not as strict as Dong Xiang, and he was relatively polite when he spoke. So these people in the kitchen are all serving Ke Hong.
Dong Xiang's lips trembled for a while, looked at the chef's uniform on the ground, and then turned his head and ran out.
"I'm not wrong!" Lao Zhao said stubbornly, "I don't believe the chef, you taste it, it's definitely not too salty!" β
"Let's not say you're wrong, it's right, she's a girl, how can you talk to her like this?" Ke Hong grabbed him by the collar and scolded, "Is this what a man should do?" You sue me! β
"I ......" Lao Zhao was speechless for a while, muttering for a long time and unable to speak. Ke Hong glared at him fiercely, and then tasted the sauce made by Lao Zhao. Indeed, he couldn't taste much of a difference in taste anyway.
"Well, I'll tell you." Ke Hong reprimanded everyone at the scene, "This girl is different from you. Yueyue may not have explained it to you, her sense of taste is much more sensitive than yours, and she can taste even the little ingredients I added to the sauce, so it's normal for her to be more sensitive to taste, can you!? If not, shut up and listen to her! β
"I know ......" Everyone at the scene responded, and it was the first time they saw Ke Hong go crazy. Because Ke Hong has always been very kind, but they have heard a lot of rumors about Ke Hong, such as fighting freely, having a relationship with the boss of the previous road, and having a particularly ambiguous and close relationship with the boss, anyway, no matter which one is enough for them, so no one wants to go against him.
"However, there is a slight problem on her side, and I will talk to her." Ke Hong frowned and untied his waist, "You guys are busy first, I'll go find her." I'll bring her back later," Ke Hong pointed at Lao Zhao, "You apologize to me well." β
Immediately, Ke Hong went out of the kitchen, and then grabbed a waiter girl passing by the door and asked, "Have you seen the new sous chef today?" Where did she go? β
"Looks like I'm going to find the boss." The waiter said and went back to his work.
Ke Hong then came to the door of Dong Qingyue's office and knocked on the door, Dong Qingyue answered: "Come in." β
After Ke Hong entered the door, Dong Qingyue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to Dong Xiang who was sitting in front of her and said, "Okay, Ah Hong, you come and talk to her, I really have something very important to do." β
Dong Xiang hurriedly replied: "Boss, don't let me be alone with him!" He didn't know what to do! β
Dong Qingyue took a deep breath and seemed to be a little impatient, so she smiled at Ke Hong, and then turned her head and went out.
"Are you ......" Ke Hong sat down opposite Dong Xiang, that is, Dong Qingyue's position, "What was the reason for resigning or being fired last time?" Don't say it, let me guess. Because you scolded your boss angrily, right? β
Dong Xiang glared at him and didn't speak, but it was obvious that Ke Hong was right. Ke Hong held his chin and groaned for a while, and then said, "I have already reprimanded Lao Zhao, and he will apologize to you later." β
Dong Xiang said angrily: "Anyway, I won't continue to do it here, whatever." β
"It's really easy to give up, doesn't it matter because it's a woman?" Ke Hong hugged his arms and shook his head.
"Are you looking down on women?" Dong Xiang's eyes widened and asked.
"I look down on those who give up lightly...... Person. Ke Hong replied, "I thought you were in a hurry to pay the rent?" β
"I won't sell my dignity for money, his sauce is salty, Chef Ke's sauce has just the right mix of flavors, and his sauce is simply a blasphemy against Chef Ke's sauce!" Dong Xiang said angrily.
Ke Hong raised his eyebrows: "But, I have to say that in that incident, you are also at fault." β
"I'm not wrong! You say, what's wrong with me!? Dong Xiang asked unconvinced.
"You ......" Ke Hong thought for a moment and explained: "For example, if you are a high school teacher and a primary school student asks you a math problem, can you tell the people, 'This problem can be solved with a one-dimensional quadratic equation'?" β
Dong Xiang frowned, as if he was scrutinizing Ke Hong's words. Ke Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you understand what I mean?" They couldn't tell the difference, not even I could taste the subtleties myself, and neither did the guests. If you ask me to make two dishes with the exact same taste, I can't do it, do you want to scold me together? β
"So, isn't there no need to pursue perfection because others don't know?" Dong Xiang asked in disbelief.
"I didn't say that, it's just that the perfection you said can't be pursued by others." Ke Hong shrugged his shoulders, "There are some things that only you can do, you can do it yourself, such as these subtle gaps in the sauce, you can fix it yourself." β
"Hmm......" Dong Xiang was speechless, and Ke Hong continued to say patiently, "In addition, I think you can be harsh when you reprimand others, but harshness doesn't mean shouting loudly, right?" After all, people are elders, and you, as a young man, still have to take care of the other party's face, just like I reprimanded Lao Zhao, as a man, he shouldn't talk like this to a girl. β
"I've always thought of what to say, it's too hypocritical to live like that." Dong Xiang muttered.
"That's not hypocrisy, it's 'tactful.'" Ke Hong sighed and said, "To put it simply, it is to express your opinion to others in a more acceptable way, don't you think it's much better?" β
Dong Xiang puffed out his cheeks and looked at the side without speaking. Ke Hong asked, "Do you have to pay rent, utilities and food while you live?" β
"Isn't that nonsense?" Dong Xiang replied in a low voice.
"So, you've got to learn to live." Ke Hong said, stretching out his hand to Dong Xiang, "Now go back with me, you and Lao Zhao apologize to each other, and in the future, as I said, work hard in the kitchen." β
Dong Xiang looked at Ke Hong's hand and said angrily: "Beasts...... At this time, they still want to take advantage of me. β
However, despite saying this, Dong Xiang still reached out to hold Ke Hong's hand and followed him towards the kitchen. (To be continued.) )
