Chapter 31: Li Long's Thoughts

Jufu Building, the office on the second floor, this is the third time Wang Ming has entered here, it is still the simple furnishings, the head chef Li Long is sitting on the chair behind the table, leaning there a little lazily, the smoke in his hand rises a trace of smoke, seeing Wang Ming come in, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the stool on the side, signaling him to sit there.

"There's one thing, I need you to tell me very strictly."

Li Long pondered for a moment, took a deep puff of the cigarette, felt the sense of fullness brought by the nicotine mixed smoke entering the body, and while playing with the cigarette butt with the palm of his hand, he looked at Wang Ming and said softly.

Li Long's voice fell, the expression on his face was serious, and since Wang Ming entered the Yufu Building, he had never felt such a strict aura on him, and at this moment, he looked at the head chef Li Long with a solemn face, and after a while, he also nodded very seriously.

"Before coming to Yufu Building, you haven't been in contact with the orthodox hotel kitchen, but where did you learn this knife skill, you don't have to worry, you are answering me after thinking about it."

Li Long's voice slowly fell, and when he finished speaking, his eyes were with a hidden sharpness, and when he looked at Wang Ming, Wang Ming's heart was suddenly stunned, for the head chef Li Long, Wang Ming never saw through what he wanted to know, first inexplicably asked Li Mei to understand his own situation, and now he asked such an inexplicable question so strictly, which made Wang Ming's heart complicated, but he couldn't see through, this is Li Long, who is already the head chef of Jufulou, what do he want to know here, And the question at hand, Wang Ming here, really can't answer him.

While Wang Ming was pondering, the head chef Li Long was even more depressed, originally thinking that he had found a genius in the kitchen, and he also had an understanding and skill that ordinary people could not achieve for knife skills, but today, after seeing the squirrel long eggplant that had been handled by Wang Ming's knife skills, the mystery that had been confused in his heart was even deeper at this time.

Others are not familiar with the traditional knife technique of Lao Chuanlu, but Li Long here, because of some coincidences, he once added the old Mr. Chuanlu Wei to perform the traditional Chuanlu knife technique, and that every move is very consistent with Wang Ming in front of him, and because of this, an immature seed that was originally buried in the bottom of his heart began to sprout slowly at this time.

Wang Ming groaned for a while, and in desperation at this time, he slowly raised his head, and when his eyes were opposite to the head chef Li Long, there was also a wry smile on his slightly immature face.

"From the high school exam to now, the total time is only one month, and before, the school family has two points and one line, and I have never been exposed to this category, if there is really any, it is in the school cafeteria of high school, I often see a master in his forties playing with knives, as for the rest, there is really nothing."

Wang Ming groaned for a while, and then looked at Li Long with some uncertainty, he had a faint guess in his heart, for a rookie cook, his progress in less than a month was indeed a little shocking, and at the end of the words, he couldn't help but make up a character.

And just when Wang Ming's voice fell, Li Long's eyes slowly retracted, and his heart unconsciously relaxed a lot, and when the Yan sΓΉ expression on his face gradually faded, he nodded at Wang Ming.

"Wang Ming, it's been a month since you entered the kitchen, have you ever thought about visiting the master, so as to learn the art of cooking more effectively?"

Li Long pondered for a moment, and when he looked at Wang Ming, he finally made up his mind, and when he opened his mouth lightly, he looked at Wang Ming with a smile.

And it wasn't until the head chef Li Long's voice fell here, Wang Ming, that he gradually understood, in the period of 2000, especially for people like Li Long, who were deeply influenced by traditional cooking, to choose a chef who thought he was talented as an apprentice, in order to pass on his skills, the first condition was that the foundation was clean, and all the doubts before, Wang Ming at this time, like seeing the clouds, fully understood.

At this time, looking at Li Long, who had some expectation in his eyes, Wang Ming also nodded silently, although the experience of his previous life could make him quickly emerge in this industry, but any industry is inseparable from the promotion of those in high positions, and every chef with a slight achievement will have his own unique skill at the bottom of the box, and even if Wang Ming was famous in Dongjiang before his rebirth, he still dare not say that any dish can be cooked with the best taste.

This line of work, to be old, to learn to be old, there is no end forever, and as the saying goes, more skills are not pressing, not to mention, Wang Ming originally admired Li Long, the latter's kind of obsession with cooking dishes, but also made Wang Ming here to the head chef Li Long, quite admired.

Seeing Wang Ming nodded, Li Long's heart was full of joy, but his face was not too obvious, at this time, under a long sigh of relief, he slowly sat down on the stool, and when he reached out and took out the cigarette roll, the palm of the cigarette was slightly trembling because of the excitement in his heart, and after a moment of silence, Li Long here, the idea of wanting to accept Wang Ming as an apprentice was also slightly difficult to suppress.

For this kind of thing, he must be able to convince Wang Ming really of it, and although he is extremely satisfied with Wang Ming's knife work and pickling, there is one last item, which is also a chef's dream, wok, he doesn't know, Wang Ming here, for the skills on the wok, can understand a little, and this, also need to create opportunities to observe.

Li Long took a deep breath of the cigarette with a faint smoke in his hand, and gradually suppressed the excitement in his heart as he groaned.

"Our chefs often participate in some gatherings among their peers, and this kind of gathering is also to test the results of their own innovative dishes, everyone eats and drinks together, and exchanges experiences with each other, but people have a competitive heart, even if I Li Long, I am not exempt from vulgarity."

Master Li whispered, as if he was confiding in Wang Ming, and as if he was telling him some kind of truth, when the voice fell, his eyes looked out of the window on the second floor, the sky was blue, and the white clouds were swirling, so that when he took a long breath, the voice fell again.

"And this kind of party, from the beginning of their own cut to completion, has been multiplied to today, each with their own approved cooks, to carry out a comprehensive competition, since there is such a rule, in the past two years, I have only participated once, and that time, I took Wang Wendong to go."

Wang Ming didn't interject, at this time his eyes looked at Li Long quietly, a man in his thirties, should be the most energetic age in his career, but on Li Long's face, what Wang Ming saw was only the crazy yearning for the kitchen, and a trace of helplessness... Disconsolate...

"Wang Wendong, a kid, has good basic skills and is also down-to-earth and hardworking, but he is too strong, utilitarian, and... It is not advisable to be jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and it is not advisable to always go a little bit of a small way because of this, and therefore, after attending that time, I have never participated in this kind of so-called meeting again. ”

Li Long's voice was stunned, when the voice fell, there seemed to be a little bit of confidence on his face, but more than that, it was a touch of desire for the material that could be made, and when the eyes that looked at Wang Ming passed decisively, Li Long's voice also quietly sounded again.

"Would you like to come with me to this kind of meeting?"

Li Long's voice fell, Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, he went around in such a big circle, and in the end, just to say this? There are dozens of chefs in the entire kitchen, if the head chef Li Long is willing to take it, these people will definitely rush to sign up to participate, but for himself, Li Long asked like this, which made Wang Ming cry and laugh at this time, and he nodded without hesitation.

"Thank you Master Li for looking at me so much, I will definitely work hard."

Wang Ming's voice was sincere, for this kind of opportunity, he would not miss it, at this time, as his voice fell, Li Long also showed a smile in his nod.

"Okay, that's it, you go to the rest meeting, and when this time is decided, I'll let you know when the time comes."

Seeing this, Wang Ming here, after nodding and thanking Li Long, he left the office on the second floor with the same excitement.

"It should be a good seedling, Wang Ming, I'm looking forward to it, what kind of surprise can you give me."
