Chapter 5: The Last Straw [Ask for Recommended Collection]
"This 'fish-flavored shredded pork' is also too delicious!"
"The shredded meat is so tender!"
"The unique crispness of the fungus and green bamboo shoots is well retained, and it is perfectly integrated with the shredded meat, with clear layers!"
"Woo, there's also sauce, spicy and sweet, it's good to eat!"
Su Rui sighed unhesitatingly as she gulped down the food on her plate.
However, she didn't notice that every time she said a word of praise, the corners of Li Can's mouth would twitch involuntarily, and her expression was as painful as eating.
Belch..
Something seems wrong...
"Your acting skills are too pompous, aren't you?" Li Can unbuttoned his apron with a look of disgust.
"Really, I don't believe you can taste it yourself."
Su Rui's mouth was stuffed full, and after handing the chopsticks to Li Can, she urged vaguely.
Li Can glanced at the grease stains that had not yet dripped off the tips of the chopsticks, wiped them with a napkin, and then picked up the food with the end of the chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Yo, you're still clean." Su Rui quipped.
"It's not cleanliness, I'm just uncomfortable looking at that drop of oil.."
"That's obsessive-compulsive disorder!" Su Rui examines Li Can like discovering a new world.
"Whatever you want."
Li Can didn't bother to pay attention to it, frowning and tasting the food carefully.
whatοΌ
Is this also called delicious?
When the shredded meat was starched, it was clear that there was more starch, and it was slimy.
The time for the water fungus to soak is too short, and the green bamboo shoots are not fresh, so I really chose the wrong ingredients.
Well, the heat is well mastered, and the characteristics of various ingredients are not brought into play, and the sense of hierarchy is not obvious.
Hehe, this fish sauce is so unpalatable, the ratio of sugar and vinegar is completely out of balance, it's perfect.
The most unpalatable fish-flavored shredded meat in this life,
Identification done!
Li Can put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, but happened to see Su Rui's beautiful eyes full of affection.
Ahh
That clearly 'cannibalistic' look!
"Well, I'm not wrong, right?" Su Rui asked expectantly.
"So-so." Li Can replied without being salty.
Although he has manipulated the dishes, he has ignored a very real problem, that is, everyone's criteria for judging food.
In the past, when they were in the imperial court, those guests were either high-ranking officials and nobles, and they had already tasted the delicacies of the mountains and seas;
Either a veteran gourmet, a long-term wandering food paradise;
No matter how bad it is, it's also a crazy foodie with picky tastes.
These people all have a characteristic, they have a high level of evaluation criteria for gastronomy.
As large as the freshness of the ingredients,
Small to the difference in heat,
They are more or less able to tell.
But what about Su Rui?
After staying in Lao Cai for a long time, her criteria for judging food have seriously declined.
Wrong
It's not that Su Rui's judging criteria have declined, but that the lower limit of cooking skills she thinks is still higher than the upper limit of cooking skills that the former has been exposed to!
Li Can secretly said 'misstep', I knew this was the case, I should have completely disrupted the proportion of 'fish flavor' just now, the water fungus was directly put into the pot, the greasy green bamboo shoots were simply not put away, and the shredded meat could be fried as old as it could be, and it was best to knock out the teeth!
"If this is still called average, then it is estimated that no one in all the restaurants in the old street will dare to make fish-flavored shredded pork anymore!"
Su Rui naturally didn't know the little abacus in Li Can's heart, as a Pisces, she was already fantasizing about the beautiful picture of the guests maliciously raising the price in order to compete for a 'fish-flavored shredded pork'.
I'm out of 50!
I'm out of 500!
I'm out of 1000!
Shut up for me, I'll give 1000000!
"Lift, keep lifting, don't stop.."
β¦
"What are you talking about?"
The sudden voice shattered Su Rui's illusions, and she wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth with a 'snort', and made a decision in her heart.
"Li Can, you have been hired, with a monthly salary of 3,500, including food and lodging, three times the salary on holidays, and you will go to work tomorrow!"
"Huh?" Li Can raised his eyebrows.
"What, the salary is low?" Su Rui's eyes narrowed in a dangerous arc.
"Of course."
Li Can did not show weakness, since the cooking demonstration 'failed', he could only 'fight' in other aspects.
β4000οΌ That's 500 more than the average salary of a chef in other restaurants in Lao Cai! If you don't believe me, you can ask. Su Rui slapped the table and glared, her aura was more than that of the old man.
"You saw my level too, 4000? It's low! β
"Okay, you have confidence, Sister Su also has sincerity, add 500, 4500 to you!"
"It's still low."
"Li Can, don't go too far, 4500 is already the highest in Lao Cai!"
"That's not going to work either."
"You!" Su Rui gritted her teeth, and suddenly felt that Li Can's sunny and handsome cheeks were extremely hateful.
Bang!
She slammed her fist on the table and waved her big hand, "5000 a month!" Couldn't have been more! You know, a fledgling chef like you can have 500 living expenses a month is already very good! β
Seeing this, Li Can was calm and breezy on the surface, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
According to his understanding, in an old street like this, which has no popularity and no reputation, it is quite good for a restaurant to have a net income of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month!
And the next door chef is clearly not in this category.
But the problem is, he doesn't want to have anything to do with that murderer!
"Ten thousand."
After Li Can finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly froze.
To put it simply, he directly talked to death.
This is an impossible number!
Su Rui looked at Li Can in astonishment, as if the latter was a bloodthirsty monster in sheep's clothing.
Ten thousand?
Why don't you grab it?!
The front hall was as quiet as stagnant water.
"Hey."
After a long time, Su Rui sighed and said with a weak wry smile: "Li Can, I really want you to stay and help me." It's just that I don't have the ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet your requirements. β
"It's okay."
Li Can got the answer he wanted, but found that it was not the taste of sourness in his heart. But he didn't intend to stay long, lest he compromise in the next second.
"Li Can."
Su Rui stood up suddenly.
"Sister Su Rui, is there anything else?" Li Can smiled reluctantly.
Su Rui pursed her lips and looked struggling, "Although I can't meet your requirements, I still want to fight for it again." β
The corners of Li Can's mouth were bitter and he didn't answer.
β6000οΌ Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Su Rui was very sincere and went on to add: "Plus 30% of the restaurant's monthly net income! β
As soon as these words came out, Li Can had no words to describe his current mood except for shock.
To be able to offer such a salary to a restaurateur who is not very profitable shows how much she values herself!
"Aren't you afraid that even after I came, the restaurant still didn't improve? And you, too, will lose even more. β
"What is there to be afraid of." Su Rui spread her hands, "I can't close the door, I'm just being ridiculed by relatives and friends." β
Call.
Li Can closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but when he opened them again, a blazing light appeared in his eyes.
Can he hear the unwillingness hidden in Su Rui's last sentence, how similar is it to himself?
The only difference is that
A person who is not willing to be looked down upon,
One is unwilling to fall off the altar.
β¦
"This job, I, Li Can, took it!"
