The samples that were prepared for the passing drivers were finally prepared before the rush hour.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, be careful."

In the messy kitchen, Lin Ling brought the newly baked pasta to the workbench and divided it into a special lunch box. Little Gordon, on the sidelines, packs burgers and sprinkles salt into paper bags of rice chips and sweet potato fries.

"The last batch." One of the apprentices walked into the kitchenette with a large pot full of vegetables, and the other apprentices immediately went up to take over and helped carry it to the workbench.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the kitchen, Old Gordon specially hired four apprentices who were still studying at the Culinary Academy to serve as Lin Ling and Little Gordon's helpers.

"Remove the carrots, cucumbers, and celery from the brine and drain them before putting them in your cup." Lin Ling gave orders to the apprentices, he was still a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning, but once he entered the working state, let alone the apprentices, even little Gordon had to obey his command.

The chef is the master of the kitchen, and Lin Ling's Gordon kitchen is not for people.

"The Thousand Islands salad should be thicker, at least as thick as a coaster. The one who, if you raise your hand so high, will spill out. While correcting the apprentice's movements, he packed the roasted beef into lunch boxes, each of which had to be labeled with a sticker as an identification symbol. In the rest room next to the kitchen, two printers are constantly printing out stickers, and the person who undertakes this work is none other than Li Linda, who rushed to Gordon's kitchen after work.

"Push the food cart out, the insulated box, and put it all in the insulated box."

When little Gordon was busy with the work at hand, he helped the apprentices with the things they couldn't handle, and he was busy not only seldom mocking the apprentices for their low-level mistakes in that arrogant and cold tone, but also helping them clean up the mess and teaching them how to work.

"Don't forget to put a spoon in every soup bowl, the double-flavored cold vegetable soup should be served in a cup, the cup, the soup bowl is used to hold borscht, who will push a food truck again." Lin Ling quickly served the divided baked pasta to a special insulated food truck, and nearly ten similar food trucks were already parked in the corridor in front of the kitchen, each with stickers representing the food they were putting on.

Old Gordon checked the food trucks in the hallway to make sure they couldn't go wrong, and he put tonight's business aside for tomorrow's tasting.

"Somebody go find a blackboard." After pushing the last food cart out of the kitchen, Lin Ling shouted to the slack apprentices, "Do you think this will attract customers?" Quick, find a chalkboard to write down all of our dishes for tonight. Remember to indicate that it is a self-service pick-up. ”

The apprentices scrambled to find the blackboard to write.

Lin Ling walked up to Little Gordon, who was stirring a pot of black liquid like pot water with a soup spoon, and asked with a frown, "This is what you call the special staff drink of Qiao Brazilian Cuisine Club?" ”

"That's pretty much it, I used two ground coffee blends, all of them once boiled dregs, but we don't have expired chocolate here." Little Gordon smiled, there were three big old-fashioned tin tea buckets beside him, the green paint on the surface looked shiny, in fact, the inside was very worn, when Lin Ling saw these three tin tea buckets for the first time, he thought it was a large trash can.

"As long as you think you can."

Lin Ling shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know anything about the staff drinks of Qiao Brazil's restaurant, and he couldn't say anything.

At this time, an apprentice came up to him, handed him a piece of paper, and asked in a crisp voice, "Chef, is it okay to write like this?" ”

"I'll see."

Lin Ling said and took the paper, and he saw that it was written: Today's special offer "buffet dining";

Appetizers: cold spinach, vegetable cups;

Soups: double-flavored cold vegetable soup, borscht;

Main course: Charcoal-grilled mushroom beef burger with rice chips and sweet potato fries, BBQ beef and lamb barbecue platter, fish roll and cheese sauce gratin, shepherd's pie;

Desserts: puffs, mocha ice cream, multicolored smoothies;

Choice of beverages: orange juice, lemon iced tea, ginger soda;

All-you-can-eat kitchen tea.

"Yes."

Lin Ling handed over the paper to the apprentice, and the so-called kitchen tea was what Little Gordon was stirring at the moment.

"How about charging 65 yuan for a meal for one person?" Old Gordon walked into the kitchen, the real owner of Gordon's kitchen never disturbed Lin Ling and Little Gordon's work from beginning to end, and he didn't even step into the kitchen, "There are 120 parking spaces on the street behind the store. ”

"That's not enough money for raw materials, is it?" Lin Ling asked in surprise.

"Young people, there are many things that money can't buy." Old Gordon said meaningfully, and little Gordon, who was stirring the kitchen tea, stiffened his face and let out a soft snort that lacked confidence.

"By the way, Lin, do you have a relative surnamed Wu?" Gordon Sr. suddenly asked about something, "He keeps calling and asking about your salary. ”

"He and I are like Cinderella and her sister." Lin Ling used an analogy that everyone could understand.

"I replied that you were an apprentice with us, that you were currently in the internship stage, and that we would only serve you two meals a day, so that should not raise suspicion." Old Gordon admired Lin Ling's comparison of himself to Cinderella, this attitude of modesty and self-confidence was something he could not see in his son, "But I think you should change your residence, do you live with your parents?" ”

"Almost."

Lin Ling didn't tell the truth, nor did he tell lies, and his ambiguous attitude made it more convenient for him to state his position.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Little Gordon threw down the spoon and ran away from the kitchen.

"You've done a good job, at least so far." Old Gordon left the kitchen, and he couldn't rest assured of his business after all.

Hearing the footsteps of the two leaving, Li Linda walked out of the lounge.

"Hear our conversation?" Lin Ling laboriously carried the bucket full of kitchen tea to the car, his head was covered with sweat, and the clothes on his body were almost soaked.

"You can actually live with me." Li Linda gently took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from Lin Ling's head, "I promise they won't know that you live with me." ”

"That's a good idea, but why should I run away?"

Lin Ling held Li Linda's hand and gently kissed the back of her soft hand: "I haven't done anything wrong, they should be avoided." ”

"They're scoundrels, they're scoundrels, and you never know what those beasts in the fur of their relatives will do to you." Li Linda looked at Lin Ling's eyes and said seriously, "I've experienced that kind of thing. ”

"Linda, I'm glad you cared about me." Lin Ling looked at Li Linda with a smile, "I'm a man, I don't want to be told that I will only hide behind a woman's ass." I will solve Wu Jun's matter, what he wants is money, it's just money. ”

"How are you going to solve it?" Li Linda was worried that Lin Ling would do something stupid, she didn't want to see Lin Ling make the same mistakes as her in the past, and even take the extreme path that she had never taken.

"There is a lot of money coming in these days." Lin Ling smiled, the dragon blood that was sold at a high price of 1,000 gold coins was indeed a windfall, "I'm going to find him a job, his ideal job." ”

Seeing this, Li Linda could only close her mouth, she hugged her from behind Lin Ling, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "I just want you to know that you are not the only one, you will always stand by someone else's side." ”

"I know, Linda."

Lin Ling patted Li Linda's hand comfortingly. He turned his head and kissed Li Linda's beautiful head lightly, and then separated.

Deliberately accentuated footsteps sounded outside the kitchen.

"It's time to work." Little Gordon stood outside the door and said, "We've got to get out, Lin." Is the kitchen tea ready? ”

"Here it is."

Lin Ling grabbed Li Linda, who wanted to go back to the lounge, and said in her ear, "But I want to go home with you tonight." ”

Li Linda suddenly blushed her neck, she slapped Lin Ling's shoulder coquettishly, turned around and entered the lounge to sort out the clutter.

Lin Ling smiled and pushed the dining cart out of the small kitchen, and walked with little Gordon in the long, narrow corridor one after the other.

The sound of the conversation of the guests, the greetings of the waiters, and the sound of orders came to the ears of the two of them from a place separated by a wall. Next door is the dining room of Gordon's Kitchen, a place that every chef dreams of.

"I don't like it here." In the midst of the bustle, little Gordon said in a disgusted tone, "Father abandoned his mother and abandoned the family for his business. I used to have a younger brother, but because my father was taking care of his business, my brother died on the way here with my mother, and whenever I closed my eyes after dinner service, I could see them waving to me......"

The hallway fell silent.

"You can choose to be independent." After a long time, Lin Ling said his suggestion, "Go independent and open a restaurant that belongs to you, a warm restaurant full of family atmosphere." ”

"Father won't agree." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Little Gordon's mouth, "As long as he doesn't nod, no one will lend me money to open a restaurant." ”

"Not necessarily."

Lin Ling stopped, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Little Gordon: "If I open an investment, will you be willing to be my partner?" Manage the kitchen wholeheartedly. ”

"Just manage the kitchen?" Little Gordon didn't ask Lin Ling where he got the money, even though the two of them hadn't been in contact for a long time, they had roughly figured out each other's tempers.

Lin Ling never boasted about things he couldn't do.

"Yes, only manage the kitchen, I know you hate business." Lin Ling remembered the irascible and indifferent little Gordon who ruled Gordon's kitchen like a tyrant in his previous life, and then thought of the little Gordon who worked with the apprentices beside him, diligently, and resentfully, "You love cooking, don't you?" ”
