Chapter 2: Killed

Enter the restaurant.

The front hall is not large, excluding the freezer and cash register, there are only six sets of tables and chairs.

The trash cans are stuffed with napkins, and the floor is littered with brooms and mops, looking like they are ready to clean.

Click..

There was a rough grinding sound from the kitchen, presumably someone sharpening knives.

Li Can found an empty seat and sat down and waited.

"The thousands of dollars in the card can't support me to spend time looking for a satisfying job, so instead of being aimless, it's better to try it here first, and that 'food and shelter' is really suitable for the current situation."

Bored to pick up the menu, which is densely packed with dozens of familiar names.

"Judging from the names of these dishes, the restaurant is not of high grade, even if I have a hand injury, it is enough to be competent."

Li Can is not worried about whether he can apply for the job at all.

"What's the matter?"

As a calm voice sounded, a tall middle-aged man wearing an apron walked out of the back kitchen, holding a kitchen knife with a sharpened edge.

If you are an ordinary person, you will inevitably be stunned when you see this image, but Li Can is different, as a top chef, he has an innate sense of intimacy with kitchen knives.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a chef." Li Can explained his intentions.

"Apply?"

"That's right." Li Can was a little surprised, "I came in when I saw the job advertisement." ”

The middle-aged man patted his head and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm sorry, I was too busy just now and forgot about this stubble for a while."

Li Can expressed understanding.

"Yo, why are you still carrying a big bag?" The middle-aged man pointed to the bag beside Li Can.

Li Can said against his will: "I won't tell you, I just arrived in the cherry blossom area today, and it is full of my clothes." ”

"Don't mind, I'm just curious."

"I understand."

The middle-aged man bent down to pick up the cleaning tools on the ground, "I see that you are only in your early twenties, and you haven't worked for a few years." ”

"It's not been more than three years, but I'm confident in my cooking skills." Li Can said seriously.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man obviously didn't understand where Li Can's confidence came from, and smiled very perfunctorily.

Whoa..

Whoa..

Li Can waited for the middle-aged man to speak, but the latter was fiddling with the roller shutter door.

The roller shutter seems to be malfunctioning, and when you step on it, it will automatically pop up.

"It should be the spring inside that is broken." Li Can kindly reminded.

"I think so." The middle-aged man sighed, "Forget it, since you came to apply for a chef, it's useless to just talk about it, go to the kitchen and stir-fry a dish for me to taste." ”

"Okay."

Li Can had no opinion, and even felt that it should have been done a long time ago, so he immediately got up and walked to the kitchen.

The kitchen had no door, only a gray curtain to cover it.

When he lifted the curtain, a strong smell of vinegar came to his face, as if it had knocked over the old vinegar, and there were many irregular spots on the inside of the curtain, perhaps the oil stain accumulated over the years.

The kitchen is only half the size of the front hall, and the light is dim, and you can vaguely see that the stove and sink are connected to the wall in front of it, and there is a cabinet for storing miscellaneous items in the middle, and the remaining space around is only enough for one person to pass, which is very narrow.

The more excellent the chef, the higher the requirements for the kitchen, and Li Can is no exception. But now that he is in a difficult situation, he can only force himself to adapt as soon as possible.

Heading into the kitchen, the floor was a little slippery.

Li Can glanced at the seasoning area roughly, the quantity and variety were not as large as the imperial court, but they were just enough.

Click.

Open the freezer, and there are many ingredients stored in it, including meat and vegetables.

"This beef tenderloin is very fresh, and the green onions are also good, so let's have a green onion fried beef." For Li Can, it doesn't really matter what kind of dishes you fry, as long as you can show your skills.

Stir-fried beef with green onions is simple to make, but it is a great test of the chef's all-round control of the heat, ingredients, and knife skills.

If the heat is too large, it is easy to make the beef age;

It is too small, and it is difficult to burst the burnt aroma of green onions.

It's hard to strike the perfect balance between the two.

The only thing that makes Li Can unsure is that with the strength of a middle-aged man, he doesn't know if he can taste the essence of this dish, after all, his realm is too high.

I came to the pool with the beef and green onions, and was about to put water to wash the vegetables, when I suddenly felt sticky under my feet.

Due to the dim light, only a pool of liquid could be seen on the ground.

Combined with the smell of vinegar all over the room, Li Can guessed that the liquid was probably vinegar.

"It doesn't seem to be vinegar, vinegar isn't so sticky."

Lift your foot repeatedly, making sure that the pulling force is strong, as if you are being sucked in.

"No, there's something else."

Li Can took a closer look and found that the liquid was flowing out of the locker.

When I opened the locker, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

Habitually take out your phone, turn on the lighting, and take a photo at the locker.

Nima!!

For a moment, Li Can only felt that the blood was flowing backwards, cardiac arrest, and his brain was blank!

In that cupboard. . . There is actually a long-haired woman with angry eyes hidden!

Wait, something is wrong..

Li Can held the stove behind him with one hand to prevent slipping, and held his mobile phone with the other hand to check carefully.

I saw that the woman's pupils were dilated, the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was as white as wax and lacklustre.

A smell of blood mixed with vinegar rippled...

Li Can can't think anymore, because this woman is distinct...

.. It's clearly a corpse!

The limbs of the female corpse folded with the back in an incredible arc, and the forefoot was missing, and the fractures were uneven, as if they had been bitten.

What's even more terrifying is that she was stuffed in such a small cupboard!

Li Can was cold, turned around suddenly, but hit a 'wall'.

No, it wasn't a wall, it was a middle-aged man standing behind him at some point.

The other party was holding a kitchen knife, his eyes were indifferent, and he was full of oppression.

Li Can had felt death, so when it came to life and death, he was unusually calm.

The brain is racing...

The kitchen is too narrow and there is no escape route;

The other party is cruel by nature, and there is no possibility of communication!

Case..

Li Can made a decision immediately, picked up the nearest soy sauce bottle, jumped up and slapped it on the middle-aged man's head.

Soy sauce splashes.

However, the seemingly ferocious blow only received a sneer from the other party, and not even a single hair was injured.

Li Can's heart sank to the bottom, and he was about to retreat to open the distance, but his feet were pulled hard by something, and the whole person fell to the ground solidly.

If you look closely, it's an arm-thick strip?!

it!

This guy.. Actually with a tail??

The scene in front of him was beyond Li Can's cognition.

The middle-aged man grinned and showed a row of jagged teeth, his image was hideous, and he didn't talk nonsense, raising his knife and slashing.

Li Can dodged left and right, grabbed the former's wrist at the right time, and didn't let the kitchen knife fall.

Unfortunately,

The old wounds left by the car accident flare up,

His hands lost their strength like deflated balls.

The knife edge is rapidly enlarged in the eye.

"I'm unwilling, I still have too many things to do."

The voice in Li Can's heart has not yet been finished,

Consciousness came to an abrupt halt.
