Wu Jun drove a retro Beetle, and there was not much space in the car, just enough to seat two people.

The decoration in the car is also inclined to retro style, which is better to say alternative, but to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than Wu Jun has no money and wants to be broad.

"Thank you, cousin." Lin Ling sat in the car and thanked Wu Jun before he could drive.

"It's all a family, what's polite." Wu Jun pretended not to care and waved his hand, he started the car, and while pouring out the parking space, he asked, "Part-time jobs are quite busy, right?" ”

"I've been busy lately."

Lin Ling said half-truthfully, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get Wu Jun away later.

He didn't think that Wu Jun really had to send him to Gordon's kitchen for the sake of his relatives.

"By the way, where are we going?" After Wu Jun drove out of the community, he asked for directions.

"Gordon's Kitchen, downtown." Lin Ling said indifferently.

"Gordon's kitchen?"

Wu Jun snorted softly, the name of Gordon's kitchen, he also knew it: "It's just a fake foreign devil." ”

The corners of Lin Ling's mouth showed a hint of a smile, that's right, old Gordon is indeed just a fake foreign devil, but it is this fake foreign devil who has done something that most people can't do in a lifetime.

Gordon's Kitchen is located in one of the most prosperous business districts of Tianwen City, close to the Tianwen City Concert Hall and the Mass Theater, and many wealthy people like to go to Shikumen near the Mass Theater to find a bar to sit down or go to Gordon's Kitchen for a sumptuous meal after appreciating the so-called high arts.

Gordon's kitchen is in the center of the Shikumen area, the founder Gordon Sr. once worked as a culinary instructor at the Blue Fort College in France, this title is far more fashionable for those who have money than the Xth generation of imperial chefs, even if he does not cook all French food, and most of the ingredients used are from the neighboring areas of Tianwen City, and the cooking techniques are biased towards Chinese, but the old hats still like this restaurant, far more than they like the local time-honored restaurant, which has been established for less than ten years.

Of course, this is not a foreign flattery, if anyone dares to wear the hat of admiring foreign countries to them who like to talk about national capital and the backbone of the nation, he is a traitor, a national thief, and a foreign slave comprador written by the advocates they hire.

For those who are wealthy, listening to an opera they don't understand and eating a meal of foreign cuisine made with local ingredients and techniques is a sign of keeping up with the times.

Lin Ling, who had worked in Gordon's kitchen for several years, knew that there was nothing special about old Gordon's cooking, and his son's cooking skills were several times better than him. The success of Gordon's kitchen at that time came from Gordon Sr.'s keen eye for food and some little secrets.

For example, Gordon Sr. requires that the food plate must be kept hot before it can be delivered, so that when the plate reaches the customer's table, the temperature is just right for consumption, and the flavor is maintained to the maximum.

For example, old Gordon rarely uses salt to flavor food, and he pays more attention to using a little salty spice to enhance the taste of food and stimulate the taste buds, rather than simply using salt to numb the taste buds. Therefore, the dishes and plates served out of the serving board are wafting this charming, but not choking fragrance.

Of course, local time-honored brands can do this, but they are not as good as old Gordon.

Gordon Sr. manages the kitchen in the same way that he manages a modern business, and every aspect of the kitchen is under his control. He mixes different spices for each ingredient, finely grinds them into powders for later use, and there are several large pots of soup boiling in the kitchen 24 hours a day, which seems to be very expensive.

In fact, the salary paid by the elder Gordon to the average chef can only be regarded as the average level of the industry, and the kitchen is always understaffed, and one person always has to work in two positions at dinner, even if there is a high bonus, it is not worth the comfort of getting two salaries.

The extra money is enough for old Gordon to subsidize the procurement of raw materials. At the time of Gordon's kitchen business, several farms where Gordon Sr. purchased ingredients introduced high-priced organic vegetables, ecological red meat, and wild fish and shrimp with Gordon Sr. as the spokesperson, although Gordon Sr. never took a penny from it, but most of the time, Gordon's Kitchen was able to get the best ingredients from those farms at prices below the market price.

The same is true for cutlery and cooking equipment, they are very strict about cost control, and every penny is used wisely.

This seems incredible, in fact, as long as the person in charge of procurement is a foreign devil who speaks a fluent foreign language and understands Chinese and understands market conditions without translation, some suppliers often have weak knees before they start to talk about business.

Of course, Lin Ling wouldn't say these words to Wu Jun, and even if he did, his cousin wouldn't understand them.

"Here we are."

Wu Jun parked the car at the front door of Gordon's kitchen, and when he saw that there were many cars parked at the front door, he also parked the car in an empty space with a big grin.

"Thank you, cousin."

The corners of Lin Ling's mouth once again put on a mocking smile. His cousin, I'm afraid he didn't see the automatic parking meter installed on the side of the road, right? If you have not made a reservation in advance for the restaurant in Shikumen, and have not given the license plate to the restaurant through the automatic system, then parking here will be calculated on a per-minute basis.

I hope Wu Jun doesn't cry when he receives the bill.

"Lin Ling, you are still young, I will accompany you in and say hello to those people, so that they will not bully you in the future." After Wu Jun pulled out the car keys, he cheekily pretended to be Lin Ling's parent.

Lin Ling knew that Wu Jun had another idea. He didn't say anything, just smiled, got out of the car and walked to the restaurant.

"Lin, why is it so slow." Little Gordon, who was waiting at the main entrance of Gordon's kitchen, stepped forward, he didn't look at Wu Jun, who stretched out his hand to him, and said while taking Lin Ling inside, "Just now the organizing committee sent a new fax and gave us a list of judges, there are two very difficult people to deal with, do you remember what you are going to do?" ”

"Recipes are always on my head." Lin Ling said with a smile.

"There are seven judges in total, which means we only need to get four points to win, and it has been determined that there are two people who are theirs." Little Gordon turned his head as he spoke, frowned and said indifferently to Wu Jun, who followed them into the restaurant, "I'm sorry sir, it's not business hours." ”

"I'm his cousin." Wu Jun said confidently. When he saw little Gordon bring Lin Ling in, he believed that it was not his little cousin who was playing a trick. Then next, he had to ask Lin Ling how much money he could get for working here for a day.

Wu Jun is short of money to spend, so he needs money to play with cars, tickets, and women. He didn't have any money, his mother didn't have much money, and his father's money was almost spent by himself, so naturally, he thought of his little cousin who owed money to his family. Since his uncle and aunt are not there, his brother is obliged to help take care of his little cousin's wallet.

Who made them good brothers?

Little Gordon looked at Lin Ling with an inquiring gaze, people who can achieve something in a certain aspect are not stupid people, they just don't like to show it.

Lin Ling nodded, he could see that Little Gordon wanted to drive people away so that he could work as soon as possible.

"Sir, I remind you that the place in your car has already been booked, if you don't want to be towed away by the towing company...... Look...... little Gordon pointed to Wu Jun's Beetle, "The one who is copying your license plate number is the person from the towing company, if you don't want the car to be towed, you'd better move the car." ”

"!" Wu Jun immediately ran out of the restaurant and went to negotiate with the person who copied the card.

"Wait a minute, if that gentleman returns, you will answer him that this is a restaurant, not a kindergarten, and if you break in, please call security." Little Gordon instructed the waiter. He never minded hurting anyone who interfered with his work, for better or worse, with his callousness and arrogance. However, he often said to those in need in a tone akin to charity, "I'm afraid we have to be busy for most of the night, do you want me to arrange a place for you to live?" ”

"Not yet."

Lin Ling followed little Gordon into the dressing room and changed into a set of chef's jackets that were custom-made for him.

The chest of the chef's jacket also spells his name "LIN" in pinyin.

"It's like a chef." Little Gordon looked at the rejuvenated Lin Ling with satisfaction, he pushed open the door, and before leaving the locker room, he said, "Follow me, I'll take you to meet someone I don't like." ”

Don't like someone?

Could it be......

Lin Ling easily remembered the fuse that caused little Gordon's dissatisfaction, the Chinese wife of the elder Gordon, his stepmother, Ms. Zhang Qiuya, a European parliamentarian.

"There are two kinds of people I hate the most." As he walked, Gordon Jr. said as if talking to himself, "One is the one who destroys other people's families, and the other is the politician." ”

Lin Ling didn't say anything in between.

"And that person has both, and more importantly......" In front of old Gordon's office, little Gordon stopped and looked at the light shining from under the door frame with a meaningful gaze, "She's a woman, and at your age, you should already understand how troublesome women are." ”

With that, he gently turned the handle and slammed the door open.

Bang!

Old Gordon, who was lying on the table holding a beautiful leg, suddenly jumped up like a grasshopper, he turned his head in shock and anger, and when he saw that it was his son, he let out an unnatural dry cough: "Why don't you knock on the door?" ”

"I thought you were the only one."

Little Gordon reached out to pat Lin Ling, but he didn't expect to shoot it empty. He turned his head, only to find Lin Ling standing in a dark corner that could never be seen in the office, smiling at him.

Clever boy.

"Come here, Lin." Little Gordon didn't mind Lin Ling's cleverness, because he believed that they had a natural hostile relationship with the woman in the door, and this relationship had already been established when Dachun Winery was against them, "Please listen to me, that lady is one of the partners of Dachun Winery, Ms. Zhang Qiuya." ”

"This is the player chef this time?" Zhang Qiuya stood up from behind her desk and looked at Lin Ling, who looked thin and short compared to Little Gordon, and an unknown light flashed in her eyes, "I have to say it's bad, it seems that it was the right choice for me to let Dachun Winery intervene in this offline challenge." ”

Little Gordon clenched his fists in annoyance, and Old Gordon, who personally selected Lin Ling as the player's chef, also looked quite embarrassed. For this strong and young wife, old Gordon, who is about to reach retirement age, loves and hates.

"No, ma'am." Lin Ling looked at Zhang Qiuya coldly, to be precise, he looked at the small, inconspicuous oval pirate flag badge that Zhang Qiuya wore on his chest, "Your decision is only to damage the reputation of a time-honored brand with a long history, from the time you choose to intervene, you have already lost." ”

He will always remember the Pirate Party, the symbol of the biggest behind-the-scenes financiers of the Dark Council.
