Long Xiang's previous tasks were to help wash vegetables, thaw meat, go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables according to the list provided by Uncle Zhong, and clean pots and pans. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Long Xiang often dreams that he can be in charge of the spoon like Uncle Zhong and become a real chef, but Long Qian does not allow it at all, and the most common sentence Long Qian says is: "Without a solid foundation, everything is empty words." "So what Long Xiang does the most is to practice in the backyard, and then steal Uncle Zhong's craft.

There are a total of three chefs in Longyang Restaurant, in addition to Uncle Kaizhong, there are two who are hired by Long Qian, the cooking skills are mediocre, there is nothing outstanding, in addition to the high salary offered here, there is also a point that Long Qian's personality is not harsh, not forced.

One of the two is thin and tall, surnamed Ma, and his name is Yun. After graduating from university, he traveled around Fujian Province with his backpack on his back, and he couldn't do it in other places, until he saw Uncle Zhong's knife work, and decided to stay in Longyang Restaurant and worship Uncle Zhong as a teacher. But Uncle Zhong was only willing to teach some superficial skills, but he never recognized the master-apprentice relationship between the two.

There is also a surname Xiong, named Guangye, fat head and big ears, is from other provinces to Fujian Province to work, born in the market, studied everywhere, everywhere did not do long, came here purely to fancy the salary here and more leisurely.

The three of them have a clear division of labor, Uncle Zhong mainly cooks difficult dishes, Ma Yun is in charge of home-cooked dishes in Fujian Province, and Xiong Guang is the owner of miscellaneous items, specializing in ordinary cuisine in other provinces. Fortunately, there are not many picky people in Longyang Town, and the three of them can still be busy.

In addition, Long Qian usually works on the side, and Long Qian can always complete the ingredients, ingredients, broth, and necessary tools in the shortest possible time for all the dishes ordered by the guests, which makes the other two people sigh, and they both feel that if they don't necessarily have such power.

In the morning, Long Xiang bought the vegetables back, and Ma Yun and Xiong Guangye also entered the store early after eating. Long Xiang looked childish, still a child, and the two of them just nodded, as if they said hello, they carried the dishes into the back kitchen.

But Long Qian stopped the two, clapped his hands and greeted the people who got up in the morning, and had a small morning meeting.

"I'm here today just to tell you something, from today on, Long Xiang will be officially promoted to chef and start working in the back kitchen, and I will take over his affairs in the future." Long Qian's voice was clear and heard to everyone.

The waiter and the cleaner had no objections, after all, nothing had changed. But for Ma Yun and Xiong Guangye, this matter is a bit tricky, Long Xiang is the son of Long Qian, everyone knows that what the three cooks could do in the past, now add one person to come in, either go alone, or reduce the salary.

"And what about the two of us?" Xiong Guangye was the first to ask.

"What to do, continue to do your job, do what you have to do."

"Will there be a change in wages?" Xiong Guangye asked, he came to work for money, and it didn't matter if he learned technology or not.

"The salary remains the same, oh, I understand what you mean, Long Xiang will not occupy your position, on the contrary, he is just your apprentice, how your master treated you at the beginning, you will deal with him, understand?" Long Qian smiled slyly at the two men.

Now Ma Yun and Xiong Guangye understand what it means, since this is the case, let's do it. After waiting for so long, I finally had an apprentice.

"Come, Long Xiang, cut this pile of carrots into shreds, as well as green onions, ginger and garlic, don't forget. It's almost eleven o'clock, the first wave of guests is coming to the door, and lunch is to be ready. ”

"And these pork, hurry up and pack it up, remember to cut it in the future, this beef, you have to cut it in reverse, don't cut it in reverse."

"Oh, yes, yes." Long Xiang hurriedly agreed.

Long Xiang hurriedly picked up the knife and cut everything that should be prepared, fortunately, he had practiced a lot of basic skills, and this little thing was not a trivial matter. Ma Yun and Xiong Guangye watched Long Xiang's hands rise and fall, and the speed was not below them, and began to sigh: This is not a family, do not enter a family. Even if Lao Tzu is powerful, he can still accept it, this son has such a sharp knife work at a young age, and he can grow up.

Cut, cut. Long Xiang's eyes were suddenly red and swollen, and his sleeves kept wiping his tears, which frightened Ma Yun and Xiong Guangye: No, I was crying on the first day.

"What's the matter, isn't it too much for the two of us."

"No, I forgot to wash my hands after cutting the chili just now, and it got on my eyes!" Long Xiang returned painfully.

"Grass, you're scared to death!" Xiong Guangye slapped Long Xiang to the faucet.

At eleven o'clock, the guests began to come to the door one after another, most of the people who worked nearby, some owners did not provide three meals, many people were solved outside, the requirements of such guests are generally not high, most of them are some home-cooked side dishes, at this time Uncle Zhong will be more leisurely, he will seize this gap, adjust the soup stewed last night, and prepare some ingredients for high-level cuisine.

And Ma Yun and Xiong Guangye will be busier at this time, and they will be even busier today, because Long Qian is no longer in the side dishes, and they will be replaced by Long Xiang. Although Long Xiang's knife skills are very good, he is a bit of a hurry to really become an apprentice side dish. Sometimes the shredded carrots are handed over as shredded red peppers, and when a plate of braised pork is made, a little sugar was added before it was served, but it turned out to be salt.

After half a day, Long Qian was exempted from the list of five tables of guests at once.

In the hall, Long Qian waited until the noon diners were finished, and on the willow table, more than a dozen dishes were neatly arranged. Long Qian did not spill every dish that was returned, but left all of them to Long Xiang.

Ma Yun and Xiong Guangye looked at Long Xiang and Long Qian with a smile. Uncle Zhong didn't know where he had gone suddenly, the waiter and the cleaning aunt usually went to rest at this time, but now they are all sitting next to them, waiting to watch the show.

"A good dish is not how delicious it is or how good the chef is, but when the guests say it is delicious after eating, then it has the meaning of existence." Long Qian began to admonish Long Xiang in front of everyone.

"But you look at the first time you actually went into the back kitchen today, and everything you did, these dishes were all returned by the guests, and you said you should do this?"

Long Xiang looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly found a very familiar dish, which was liver flower. Long Qian followed Long Xiang's eyes and brought the plate of liver flowers to Long Xiang: "Come, try it." ”

Long Xiang became famous in the first battle yesterday, and many people came here today to eat the liver flowers of Longyang Restaurant, but who knows about the things in the back kitchen, most of the liver flowers are made by Ma Yun, except for one time, it was Long Xiang who made it himself, and this time it was smashed.

At noon, everyone was eating.

"Waiter, how do you do it? Is this a liver flower and can you eat it? "A middle-aged man with glasses, banging on a plate and shouting loudly, caught the attention of diners.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" The waiter said politely.

"Remove this dish for me and make a new one." The middle-aged man said while spitting out the residue in his mouth over and over again.

The waiter hurriedly brought the dishes into the back kitchen, Long Xiang saw that the dishes he made for the first time were returned, and he was unwilling, and said to Ma Yun: "It must be to find fault, I'll go to him to theorize." ”

Ma Yunke saw that he had seen a lot of this, so he grabbed Long Xiang and said, "Don't go, the water in the back kitchen is relatively deep." But the most important thing is not to have a head-on conflict with anyone, otherwise you will suffer.

"It's normal when you come back from the dish, I'll do it again, if he returns again, you go out again." Long Xiang understood what Ma Yun meant, and Long Xiang waited for Ma Yun to make the second liver flower, and watched the waiter bring it to the man.

The middle-aged man picked up the chopsticks, tasted them, immediately gave a thumbs up, and said to the waiter with a smile: "Well, this is good, it must be made by you less masters." ”

The waiter didn't dare to answer truthfully, so he quickly lied and said: "No, Young Master Long Xiang is not in charge of the kitchen yet, this is made by our back kitchen, and what you just ate is also made by the master chef, there may be some places that have not been done well, you can bear with it." ”

"Oh, that's it, it seems that it's a pity to come today, I thought I could eat what your young master made, I didn't think that such a powerful person couldn't be in charge." The middle-aged man was a little sorry. But immediately continued: "It's okay, people do it wrong, don't blame him." But I hope that the next time I come, I will be able to eat your young master Longxiang's liver flowers. ”

The waiter didn't dare to say anything, so he hurried to serve the next one.

Long Xiang saw it through the window, and then he knew that people were admiring it, not smashing the field, his face was hot, and his mood fell to the trough.

Long Xiang hurriedly found the liver flower that had been returned just now and saw where he was wrong. But just when he was about to eat, he was taken away by Ma Yun.

"The big shopkeeper has an order, you haven't eaten today, so you can't try the dishes. He said that when you can eat, you can eat, otherwise I, your brother Xiong, and Uncle Zhong will all be punished. After Ma Yun finished speaking, he put the plate of liver flowers on the willow table outside.

Since then, by half past two in the afternoon, a total of fifteen dishes have been served, and all of them have been returned by the guests, and one table of guests because they can't eat spicy food, as a result, they eat the chili sauce that is regarded as a red mess, and they returned the whole table in a fit of rage.

Long Xiang looked at the liver flower in front of him, thinking about the two or three hours just now, because of some of his low-level mistakes, which led to so many dishes being returned, and his heart was filled with humiliation.

Long Xiang picked up a piece of liver flower and put it in his mouth, a huge greasy feeling filled his mouth in an instant, he felt that his whole body was soaked in the oil tank, and he quickly spit it out.

"Don't vomit, today you have to eat all the dishes here for me, and then cook them all. From now on, you leave the back kitchen until I'm satisfied, and then you can't go back in. Long Qian frowned and ended Long Xiang's first day in the kitchen.
