Chapter 16: Li Long's Doubts

Duntou's words carried a hint of hostility, and when they came, the chefs in the rest area were also slightly stunned, and then, one after another, their eyes suddenly fell on the location of Wang Ming and the others.

The mulberry knife in Wang Ming's hand swam slightly slowly in the inner layer of the squid's flesh, and he directly ignored the words of the pier, and when he closed the knife at this moment, he looked at the squid that was cut into pieces in his hand, and the traces of the wheat ear flower knife on it were particularly conspicuous, Wang Ming smiled.

In the face of the words of the pier, Xiao Zheng was a little unhappy here, now Wang Ming's job has been taken care of by no one for about a week, and there is no doubt that that job is pressed on him, when he was busy in the past, under the arrangement of Master Li, the rest of the pier workers will share part of the work at hand after they are busy.

Although there are a few people who have come to test the work in the past few days, but they were eliminated because they did not meet the requirements, and now Wang Ming has been initially recognized, although the speed is slightly slow, but the quality is guaranteed, Xiao Zheng was unhappy, raised his eyes to look at the remaining three pier workers laughing on the side, and his face was suddenly a little gloomy.

"When the meal is ready, you just eat, don't use this big hat to oppress people."

However, if you are not happy, Duntou is still your own boss after all, Xiao Zheng is angry in his heart, and his tone is also a little impatient when he speaks, which makes Duntou stunned for a while, and let out a sneer.

"Okay, then you guys are busy slowly, let's eat."

Duntou sneered, he also had some unhappiness about Xiao Zheng's refutation of himself, he was only targeting Wang Ming, at this time, seeing Xiao Zheng answer like this, he sneered in his heart At the same time, the hotel staff who heard the news had already begun to line up to eat.

Wang Ming's heart was slightly stunned, he also listened to the conversation between the two, and said to himself when Duntou's words, which he understood very well, there was no intersection between the two, although he didn't know why the boss was so hostile to him here, but Wang Ming didn't pay attention to it, the most important thing for him now is to master the cooking skills in a short period of time, and at the same time accumulate some funds, and although the words of the pier head are hostile, but also the truth, Wang Ming is now preliminarily mastered here, and at the same time of demanding quality, Naturally, the speed will be much slower, and therefore, he did not take this hostility to heart, but directly ignored it.

But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Zheng, who had only known Xiao Zheng for one noon, stood up and carried the pot for himself at such a time, which made him feel slightly moved in his heart and at the same time, a light smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go, Xiao Zheng, let's eat first, you go to rest after eating, these squid will be handed over to me, and it will just make me proficient, and that's all, I will definitely change all the knives before I go to work in the afternoon."

Wang Ming's voice fell, which made Xiao Zheng's expression stagnant, and he muttered for a moment, and when he looked at Wang Ming, he saw the serious expression on Wang Ming's face, and Xiao Zheng nodded helplessly.

"That's fine, then you can also take a rest first, I'll go to the front desk, and help you get a lunch box by the way."

After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, seeing Wang Ming nodding, he turned around and left slowly.

Looking at Xiao Zheng's figure, Wang Ming retracted his gaze, but the movements in his hands did not stop, seriously dealing with the squid at hand, and the chefs lining up to cook around him, many people looked at this at this time, and many people saw Wang Ming's expression of concentration on work, and their hearts had some changes to the previous ridicule and mockery.

Xiao Zheng came back in a short time, after urging Wang Ming to eat, looking at Wang Ming's firm face, he also reluctantly entered the rest area, and repeatedly told Wang Ming before leaving, go and rest when he is done, because at night in Yufu Building, business is busier than noon.

At this moment, it is close to three o'clock, the coal, water and electricity in the kitchen have been turned off, leaving only a lamp above Wang Ming's pier, the diffuse light, enveloping Wang Ming, at this time almost all the employees are resting, because of the turn off of the exhaust, in this hot summer, the temperature of the kitchen is not low, and it is even more sultry at the moment.

Wang Ming's expression was very focused, and as the squid flowers were changed from his hands, the originally jerky knife technique was slowly becoming more proficient.

The air was filled with a stuffy atmosphere, and sweat continued to flow down Wang Ming's cheeks, but at this time, Wang Ming's expression of concentration and seriousness had already automatically eliminated the interference from the outside world. On that face, there was a hint of appreciation, and the direction he was looking at was the area where Wang Ming was working at the moment.

"What an interesting little guy, I've been a chef for so many years, and it's the first time I've really looked away." The corners of Master Li's mouth murmured, and he said softly to himself, and then looked at Wang Ming's eyes, which were even softer, and vaguely, he seemed to see himself many years ago.

"Hey, Lao Li, the person who can make you evaluate it like this is not much, why, do you fall in love with this little guy?"

On the chair next to Master Li, there was also a man in white overalls, he was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, very fat, at least Master Li was beside him, he could be called thin, at this time he looked at Master Li with a sigh on the side, and when he spoke, his eyes looked through the glass window connected to the kitchen outside the rest area, looking at the area where Wang Ming was.

Pulled back to reality by the fat chef's somewhat ridiculous words beside him, Li Long was silent for a moment, and then looked at the fat chef on the side.

"Nowadays, young people are becoming more and more impetuous, I think this little guy is quite calm, although he is not very old, but he has a tenacity, and he is a good seedling."

Li Long said softly, looking at the fat master's gaze, he suddenly felt a little strange, as if he remembered something, and with a wry smile, he spoke again.

"Fat Mountain, we have been doing this for nearly 20 years, but this time, the basic verification method passed down by the master actually lost its effect for the first time in this little guy, and the director almost let him leave directly today, and then when he interviewed for a job, he surprised many people."

"A small chef with no traces of knife operation in his right hand, cut out the colorful silk of steamed fish, but not worse than the average dun worker, and, I think his knife skills are still a little jerky, and the processed things are decent, and in the use of knife skills, some... Some are like the traditional knife techniques of Lao Chuanlu, calm and introverted but not losing their edge. ”

Li Long's voice fell, and the man called Fat Mountain, whose body was sitting cross-legged on the chair, suddenly condensed, making the fat on his stomach seem to shake with it, and the expression on his face couldn't help but be a little exciting.

"Old Chuanlu? Traditional knife technique? ”

Fat Shan was stunned for a moment, then almost laughed, and when he looked at Li Long, his chubby palm patted his shoulder, looked at the blurred figure in the kitchen, and shook his head.

"You said that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and besides, Mr. Wei, the founder of Lao Chuanlu, there are only two real disciples, and these two people are about the same age as us, a mere sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy can get Lao Chuanlu's inheritance sword technique, don't you think it's a little ridiculous? Ha ha. ”

Fat Shan stood up from the chair at this time, looked at the vague figure of Wang Ming in the kitchen, shook his head and said in the end, he slowly turned around, looked at Li Long who was frowning, and said with a smile.

In the face of Fat San's indifferent laughter, Li Long's tightly knit brows also slowly relaxed, and he nodded thoughtfully, and then turned his eyes to Fat Mountain.

"Perhaps, I'm thinking too much."

Li Long's voice carried a hint of doubt, and when he said it, the chef named Fat Mountain on the side nodded with a smile.

"You, you're too serious about the kitchen industry, I think your young man is very good, he respects you so much on weekdays, and the kung fu under his hands is not bad, if you cultivate it, it is also a good material, so you can accept it."

The smile on Fat Mountain's face gradually faded, he knew very well about this master's highly rated junior disciple, and at this time, he looked at Li Long, who was smiling bitterly in silence, and shook his head again, and raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist.

"Let's do it first, it's almost four o'clock, I'll go back first, the banquet in Jujin Pavilion is also fully booked tonight, come and drink with me when you have time."

Fat Mountain's voice fell, Li Long nodded, and also stood up from the chair, watching Fat Mountain's chubby body staggering in the direction of the hotel gate, and when he shook his head with a wry smile, he couldn't help but joke.

"You guy, it's time to lose weight."

In the face of Li Long's ridiculous words, Fat Shan didn't reply, laughed, waved his hand and slowly left, seeing Fat Shan leave, Li Long let out a long breath, took out the cigarette in his pocket, took a hard breath, leaned on the chair, with a trace of tiredness, the slightly blurred eyes, slowly closed.

In the kitchen, Wang Ming finished processing the last piece of squid, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat stains on his face, raised his eyes, it was close to four o'clock, and after hurriedly cleaning up, Wang Ming soaked the processed squid with water mixed with alkaline salt, which was a long sigh of relief, at this time there was still half an hour before going to work in the afternoon, Wang Ming shook his head, walked to the edge of the water platform, turned on the faucet, and cleaned the sweat stains on his face.

In the cool splash of water, the hot feeling on Wang Ming's body was also washed away, and when he turned around, his eyes looked around, and finally fixed on a basket of vegetables on the vegetable shelf.

In the kitchen, there was silence at the moment, the figure of the young man shrouded in the light, thin and tenacious, faintly heard the sound of chopping vegetables, with a certain rhythm, echoing in the kitchen...
