7. Yang Lei
may be due to Zheng Xiuyan's relationship that has made Lee Jun-hyuk's mood better these days, or it may be that Lee Jun-hyuk appreciates this short boy more, in short, in the process of running, Lee Jun-hyuk did not directly throw him away, but kept hanging him to run.
After running about 5 kilometers, Lee Jun Hyuk has already reached the finish line - the coffee shop.
Looking at the tired teenager lying on the lawn behind him, Lee Jun Hyuk shook his head, opened the back door of the coffee shop, went upstairs, and rinsed himself.
"There's water on the bar, pour it yourself." However, after Lee Jun Hyuk entered the house, a sentence floated out of the house.
By the time Lee Jun Hyuk finished rinsing and went downstairs, the short boy was already sitting at the bar and drinking most of the bottle of water. Seeing Lee Jun-hyuk going downstairs, the short boy immediately stood up.
"I've said it all, I don't want to help you, I'm just defending myself, why do you want to come with you?" Wiping the drops of water from his hair, Lee Jun-hyuk asked helplessly.
"No, big brother, in fact, I want to tell you that those 4 people just now are gangsters in this area, and one of them is the younger brother of the biggest gangster boss here, if you beat him, they will definitely retaliate." The short boy said anxiously.
"You've followed me all this far just to tell me this?" Lee Jun-hyuk said in surprise.
"Yes, big brother, in fact, these four people belong to two gangs, the bamboo pole and the fat pig, and the panda eye are from one gang, and the panda eye is the younger brother of the gang boss, and the other one belongs to another gang, but he and panda eye are high school classmates, so they often get together. This time, big brother, you beat all four of them together, if they know that you live here, they will definitely come to the door. The young man said what he knew.
"I don't think you're afraid of them." Lee Jun Hyuk didn't look like he was crying at all, and asked with interest.
"Of course I'm not afraid, those guys are paper tigers to put it bluntly, if they hadn't joined the gang, they wouldn't be anything at all, just the physical fitness of those few people, I can easily get rid of them every time." The boy said confidently.
"So, you've been mixed up before?"
"No, I'm not a gangster, although I don't go to school now, but we now have a monthly income of 1 million. It won't be the same as them. Hearing Li Junhyuk's words, the young man said angrily.
"And how did you meet them?"
"When I was a child, my family was still very rich, and then my father's business went bankrupt and owed a lot of money, although he was not discouraged, and his mother paid off the arrears little by little, but because of overwork, my father had tuberculosis, and he had no choice but to borrow money from loan sharks for treatment. Later, my father's illness worsened and he left, and my mother's health became worse after being hit one after another. So I stopped going to school and went out to work. Because I have to pay back the loan shark regularly every month's salary, I got to know these people. "The short boy didn't have any particularly sad expression when he told him about his misfortune.
"So did your loan shark pay off?"
"It's still a little worse, because there is no way to pay it off all at once, so the interest will increase every day. However, in another half a year, it will be paid off in full. When the time comes, I will be able to save up money to cure my mother's illness completely. The boy was optimistic and did not look sad because of the family's failures.
"What's your name?" After listening to the teenager's story, Lee Jun-hyuk's influence on the teenager has become much better.
"Yang Lei."
"The name is not like a Korean name."
"My father is Chinese and my mother is Korean, but because they both live in Korea, I have a Chinese name and Korean nationality." Yang Lei replied.
"In this way, then you can also speak Chinese." Lee Jun Hyuk asked.
"Yes."
"Can you tell me, what about your current job, depending on your age, you are only about 17.8 years old, and your monthly income of 1 million is already a lot." Li Junhyuk didn't have anything to do all afternoon, and the day before, Zheng Xiuyan had already said that the company couldn't come over for the company's assessment today, so Li Junhyuk chatted with Yang Lei with great interest.
"I worked part-time, and I worked three jobs. I work part-time at a Chinese restaurant, a coffee shop, and a fried chicken restaurant. Chinese food and fried chicken are delivered to takeaway, and coffee shops wash dishes. However, I was learning how to cook in a coffee shop, and there were a few dishes that I made now that tasted better than the chef at the coffee shop where I worked, but because I was so young, they didn't believe me when I applied for a chef's job. Speaking of this, Yang Lei looked angry.
"Then you're confident in your cooking." Lee Jun Hyuk said with a smile.
"I can't say I'm very confident, but there are about six dishes that I think I do better than the chef at the restaurant where I work." Yang Lei said confidently.
"Okay, there's an operation room over there, there's fresh ingredients in the refrigerator, you pick a few dishes that you think are more good at making them, as long as I'm satisfied, I'll hire you as the chef of this coffee shop, how about it, as for the salary, it depends on your skills." Li Junhe stood up, his eyes casually swept out of the net window, and then turned around and pointed in the direction of the operation room and said to Yang Lei.
"Really? Big brother, can you call the shots? Hearing Li Junhe's words, Yang Lei said in surprise.
"It's not open yet, but I'm the owner of this coffee shop, so of course I'm talking, but as I said, you have to be satisfied with the food." Lee Jun Hyuk replied with a smile.
Originally, Li Junhe wanted to recruit two people before the opening, but since he met one here today, it can be regarded as a kind of fate, so as long as Yang Lei's skills are similar, Li Junhe plans to take him in, and if his skills are not good, can he practice slowly. After all, the dishes in a café restaurant are not that complicated.
Yang Lei is very serious when cooking, although he is not as smooth as Li Junhe when cooking, but he has a good grasp of the heat, the amount of ingredients, and the time to put in the seasoning. In Li Junhyuk's view, the problem with Yang Lei's cooking is that he has too few opportunities to practice, so many actions will seem cautious and rusty, and others are very good.
Soon, Yang Lei made 4 dishes. One pumpkin pie, one cheese pasta. A pilaf rice ball, followed by a special ramen.
Looking at the dishes in front of him, Li Junhyuk smiled dumbly.
"Pumpkin pie and pasta are fine, but will pilaf balls and ramen also be sold in coffee shops?" Lee Jun-hyuk said helplessly.
"Yes, I've worked at six coffee shops in the past two years, and I learned this ramen from a coffee shop that sells a lot of ramen. It's not the same ramen as usual. Yang Lei said confidently.
"It seems that I still know too little about South Korea." Obviously, Lee Jun-hyuk had a hard time accepting that there was such a thing as ramen in a café. In fact, he underestimated the status of ramen in the hearts of Koreans, and he knew that there are shops that only sell ramen in major downtown areas in Korea.
"What, big brother, are you from a foreign country?" Hearing Li Junhyuk's words, Yang Lei asked in surprise.
"Well, I've just been here for half a year, I'm idle, and I want to open a coffee shop and find something to do. I didn't expect the differences in habits between Korea and the UK to be so big. Lee Jun-hyuk said with a wry smile.
Originally, with the arrival of Jung so-yeon every day, Lee Jun-hyuk felt that he was almost familiar with the tastes of Koreans, and the project of the coffee shop was almost the same. In a few days, recruit two people and start business. But he didn't expect that although Zheng Xiuyan has lived in South Korea for several years and knows about South Korea, she is just a 15-year-old girl, because Lee Jun-hyuk asked him to briefly investigate the taste habits of Koreans, and Zheng Xiu-yeon did a simple survey according to Lee Jun-hyuk's words, which is not bad, but when Lee Jun-hyuk ignores some things, Jung so-yeon actually won't think of it.
As for Lee Jun-hyuk, he knows a lot about coffee shops in the UK, but he is much worse than those in South Korea, but he thinks that since they are all coffee shops, they are basically the same, plus he is very confident in his craft. So he didn't go to the other shops to investigate. I just learned about the taste of Koreans through Jung so-yeon.
This is the reason why Yang Lei made a ramen that is often ordered in coffee shops, and Li Junhyuk was surprised.
