Chapter 2: Food is the sky

In the kitchen, Yin Xin was desperately stir-frying the dishes in the pot, the oil was fragrant, and the flames hooked into the pot rose into the air like a fire dragon, and it was fleeting.

"Green onion fried back to the pot meat, please taste!"

Yin Xin put a plate of steaming back pot meat on the table, bowed respectfully to the empty chair on the other side of the table, and then sighed deeply, sat down on the chair, grabbed chopsticks and picked up a piece of back pot meat and put it in his mouth, and said in a deep voice after a long aftertaste:

"Classmate, the seasoning of your dish is not bad, and the timing is also accurate, but the heat seems to be lacking. I think that if you can finish perfectly according to the time without a second, but still lack fire, there must be two links that have gone wrong, it should be that it took six more seconds to stir-fry the onion and green peppers, and six seconds less to fry the meat. This dish is not qualified, take it back and redo it! ”

After speaking, Yin Xin stood up again, walked to the table and said respectfully:

"Yes, you're right, I'll redo it right away, and I won't let you down this time."

After speaking, Yin Xin grabbed the meat back to the pot and prepared to pour it into the trash.

"Meow!"

Just as Yin Xin was about to dump this failed product, he suddenly heard a crisp cat meow. Yin Xin frowned, and saw a snow-white kitten squatting at his feet with his tail wagging, looking very cute......

"How can there be a cat in the house? I guess the windows aren't closed. Then again, this cat looks really similar to the kitten lying at Huang Lang's feet. ”

Looking at a kitten that appeared at home out of thin air, Yin Xin sighed and prepared to continue to throw out the dishes.

"Meow!"

The kitten screamed again. Yin Xin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled:

"I see, you're hungry. In that case, you can eat this dish, it's a failed work anyway. ”

As he spoke, Yin Xin leaned down and put the dish in his hand in front of the kitten. Seeing this, the kitten immediately buried her head and greedily ate it. Yin Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Eat slowly, depending on the current situation, there will be a lot of my failed works, you can eat as much as you want."

After speaking, Yin Xin turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down. The sofa is filled with dense medicine bottles and jars, including Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and just looking at it will make people feel bitter on the tip of the tongue. Yin Xin frowned, grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs, and forced himself to swallow them, the bitter taste of the medicine suddenly made his brows furrow even tighter. After swallowing these medicinal herbs, Yin Xin picked up a letter of faith on the table and said:

"Unfortunately, despite the full efforts of our doctors, you still cannot be cured, your condition is very rare and serious, and it has progressed to an advanced stage. But please don't give up on conservative treatment, don't give up any hope of life, your family must still be waiting for a miracle to happen, don't let them down. ”

After reading the letter sent from the hospital, Yin Xin sneered, threw the letter back on the coffee table, shook his head and said to himself:

"Those guys don't expect a miracle to happen, they just want me to die sooner, and if I live a few more days, it will really disappoint them."

At this moment, the kitten who came running at some point jumped on the table, turned the letter paper over, and then scribbled on the letter paper with his little paw dipped in the medicine, and had a lot of fun. Looking at the happy kitten, Yin Xin didn't bother to stop it, just shook his head with a smile and said to himself:

"Paint, paint, maybe you were an artist in your previous life......"

After a few minutes, the kitten stopped scribbling and jumped in front of Yin Xin with the piece of paper in his mouth. Yin Xin smiled:

"What, do you want me to appreciate your work? Well, I'll take a look at ......"

As he spoke, Yin Xin reached out and took the piece of paper, however, in the next moment, the handwriting written crookedly on the paper with medicinal juice made Yin Xin feel creepy from the depths of his heart:

"Thank you for your hospitality, but the biggest failure of this dish is not the lack of heat, but the sauce. The bean paste you use has a spicy and salty taste and a lack of sweetness, which should be caused by too long a marinade time. This will spoil the aroma of the meat, giving the illusion that there is a lack of heat. As a chef, not personally reviewing every ingredient before you start cooking is the biggest failure, which is why you fail the exam. ”

Yin Xin slowly put down the letter with a trembling hand, and said to himself with a pale face:

"Hallucinations. Hallucination. I didn't expect my condition to be serious enough to be able to see hallucinations, it looks like I really won't live long, hehe, hehe......"

Just as Yin Xin stiffened out a smile, the kitten picked up another piece of paper and handed it to Yin Xin. This time, there were only four shocking words written on the paper:

"I can save you."

Yin Xin's heart twitched violently. This reality, which is extremely close to the fantasy of black and white, made Yin Xin's spirit begin to be in a trance for a while, but Yin Xin couldn't care about the dizziness of his mind, and grabbed the kitten tightly and said urgently:

"What the hell are you? Why...... Why do you say...... Can you save me? ”

The kitten broke free of Yin Xin's hand, jumped on the coffee table again, dipped the dark brown medicinal juice and smeared a newspaper frantically, and only after a long time did he give Yin Xin the newspaper densely covered with crooked handwriting. Yin Xin took the newspaper, and when he saw what was written in the newspaper, his pupils suddenly shrank:

-- This is a real recipe.

"Ginseng flower white fish soup. One tael of purple sprout fire ginger, ten fresh white-backed yellow flower twists, two taels of jacaranda ginseng, and 8 taels of fresh cold water fish. Condiments: angelica, bellflower, gastrodia......"

After listing a full 16 spices and Chinese herbs, this recipe is clearly written about how to handle the fish, how to master the heat, and how to cook the ingredients. Even the details of how many condiments to put in, how many petals should be pounded, and how thick the ginseng slices should be cut are all written down to the minute.

"Hey, you're trying to save me...... You don't want me to do this, do you? Yin Xin's voice began to tremble.

"Meow!" The kitten meowed decisively.

"But where do I get all these ingredients? Jacaranda ginseng is so rare that it is simply not available in the general market. Besides...... Why do you put ginseng in fish soup? Yin Xin asked eagerly.

The kitten once again held a piece of paper to Yin Xin, and three words were written on it:

"Food is the sky."

At night, the food is the day dining mall, and the flow of customers is turbulent, and countless customers come in and out. The faces of the guests who have not yet entered are full of anticipation, and the guests who have finished shopping and come out after eating all have a satisfied expression and praise again and again:

"Good, good! I'll have to come here to eat next time. ”

"That's right. Originally, I thought that Kyushu Kaikan was the most upscale hotel in Tianhai, but now it seems that the No. 1 hotel in Tianhai can only be said to be food for the sky......"

Just opposite the "Food for the Sky" restaurant, Sun Zhuo, the young owner of the "Kyushu Hall", watched his guests being pulled away by the food for the sky little by little, and the anxiety in his heart could almost burn, but there was still nothing he could do. Not long after his father's death, he had just taken over the "Kyushu Hall", which had dominated Tianhai for 20 years and was known as the most upscale hotel in Tianhai and even the entire Jiangnan Province. At first, the business here was still as prosperous as my father was. But a month ago, after the opening of this "food for the sky" restaurant opposite him, the business of the Kyushu Guild Hall plummeted, and everyone said that after eating the food of the food for the sky, and then eating the food of the Kyushu Guild Hall, it was simply tasteless......

"Where's the secret...... Our chefs should not be inferior to them, what means did they use? ”

Sun Zhuo frowned, thinking hard but having no clue. Although he himself is the owner of Kyushu Kaikan and is also an excellent chef, he is still far from a first-line chef. The reason for this difference in taste is that I can't figure it out even if I want to break my head.

"Boss! Oh no, Chef Zhang, Chef Wang is not doing it again! At this moment, a young girl hurriedly came to report.

"What happened to them?" was worried about the growing influence of the opposite side, and there was a fire in the backyard again, and Sun Zhuoton felt that one head and two big.

They said...... They say that with their means, there are only a handful in the whole of China, but now the wages of the chefs are higher than theirs, and if you don't pay more than the chefs of the food, they will strike from today......" the girl said anxiously.

Sun Zhuo sighed:

"That's it, that's it. When my father was alive, I didn't see them complain, but now that my father is dead, it's normal for these old employees to disagree with me, after all, for the restaurant, the status of the chef is much more important than the boss. ――How much do they have to raise their wages? ”

"The owner...... They...... To increase the monthly salary by 40% at one time, about ...... It's about 150,000 ......," the girl said worriedly.

Hearing this, Sun Zhuo suddenly kicked down a flower pot in front of the door with an unbearable kick:

"150,000! Why didn't they rob it? Looking all over China, which restaurant chef can get a monthly salary of 150,000 yuan? Even if we are the most upscale guild hall in the entire Jiangnan Province, it can't be this number, right? It's the other way around, it's the other way around! Get out, let them get out now! ”

"But, boss...... Chef Zhang and Chef Wang are indeed the best chefs in Tianhai, the two of them are the pillars of the entire guild hall, without the two of them, our guild hall would not be able to move an inch at all, not to mention that there is now a restaurant opposite the food for the sky......" The girl persuaded bitterly.

Sun Zhuo finally calmed down. He knew very well that his current lifeline was indeed in the hands of these two guys. After being silent for a long time, Sun Zhuo smiled bitterly.

"So be it. You go and tell them that from next month, I will give them a monthly salary of 150,000 yuan per month. ”

"Yes, boss!"

After sending the girl away, Sun Zhuo sat at the door of the hotel in despair. At this time, Yin Xin was probing his brain at the gate of the food for heaven......
