Chapter 3: Surprises Beyond the Accident

Everyone turned their eyes to the source of the sound, but Xie Changxuan remained unmoved, and even frowned imperceptibly.

The person who came was not someone else, it was the previous president of the Xie family, Mrs. Xie, that is, Xie Changxuan's grandmother.

The assistant next to him hurriedly added a position and asked Mrs. Xie to sit beside Xie Changxuan, Mrs. Xie glanced at the dishes on the table, and immediately picked up the silver knife and fork and tasted a few dishes.

"Well, yes, yes, this little girl cooks Western food in the way of Chinese food, these dishes are very good, this beef, lamb chops do not have the fishy taste of Western food, but add a little more taste, it can be seen that Chinese food is broad and profound, not to mention Western food, it is French food, Italian food, can be transformed at will." Old Madam Xie looked at Gu Qingyu with a smile and exclaimed.

Xie Changxuan's brows, which were already frowning, furrowed even deeper after hearing this.

Although Mrs. Xie has given him the right to run Xie's, but he has just taken office, the foundation is not stable, it is inevitable that many things have to be agreed and handed over by his grandmother, he plans to innovate Xie's Chinese food method, add Western dishes, but grandma is conservative, has not agreed, insisting that Chinese food is the essence of catering, but also the soul of Xie's.

It took him a lot of effort to replace this final with Western food selection, and he didn't want this dead girl to make such a show, but he was born to his grandmother's appetite.

If you recruit this person into a new team, it will definitely become a stumbling block to your own innovation.

Xie Changxuan was silent, and also picked up the knife and fork in front of him and tasted the dishes made by Gu Qingyu.

"This burrito, nondescript, soup, no taste of thick soup, beef has lost the original flavor of beef, lamb chops are too heavy, okra is too soft, yusheng is difficult to eat, dessert is not authentic, lemon tea is okay." Xie Changxuan moved everything a little, chewed it elegantly, and after tasting the taste, he spit it all out, and finally rinsed his mouth with lemon tea.

Several other judges also tasted the dishes, and although the comments were not as sharp and ruthless as his words, they were all about the same, and they all said tactfully.

"It's not suitable for Western food."

"The seasoning is not authentic enough, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance."

"The taste is jerky, nondescript—"

In the end, Gu Qingyu's score was naturally pitiful. Xie Changxuan's gaze fell coldly on Gu Qingyu's face, but he didn't find the slightest loss or embarrassment on her face.

If a dedicated cook was ridiculed like this, he would have been heartbroken, but this woman did not. In other words, she came to participate in the competition, and used such a unique method to participate in the competition, the purpose was not to win at all, perhaps, it was planted by someone who knew the inside story of the Xie family to please her grandmother.

Sure enough, what Xie Changxuan was most worried about still happened.

Seeing that Gu Qingyu was not selected, Mrs. Xie actually asked the assistant to hand Gu Qingyu a business card on the spot, and said, "Since you don't want her, then I want it, it just so happens that there is a chef at home who is on long leave, little girl, are you willing to come to my Xie family to cook?" ”

Gu Qingyu thought that he was going to pass by the Xie family, but he didn't want to have such an unexpected joy! Wouldn't it be better to be able to work as a chef at the Xie family and be exposed to Xie's recipes than if you were to work in the Xie Group?

It's really hard to find nowhere to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!

"I'm willing, I'm willing, Old Madam Xie!" Gu Qingyu took the business card, immediately kissed the business card, smiled sweetly, and bowed to the old lady.

Xie Changxuan didn't want to lose his grandmother's face in front of the media, so he could only say coldly to Gu Qingyu with a straight face: "The judgment of your dish is over, please go down and leave the opportunity to others." ”

"Okay, thanks." Gu Qingyu ignored his cold face, bowed to the audience and media friends again, and then went down happily.

That's right, she came to Xie's competition and wanted to join Xie's team to study cuisine, but she actually had ulterior motives.

She Gu Qingyu, with her mother's surname, was raised by her grandfather since she was a child, and her grandfather's family has been running a small restaurant for dozens of generations, although the scale is not large, but the business is okay, because they rely on ancestral imperial kitchen recipes.

There were three generations of imperial chefs in the Gu family, and they wrote all the specialty dishes into the Gu family's recipes, and later this recipe was passed to Gu Qingyu's great-grandfather, because of his grandfather's incompetence, he owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and had to sell half of the recipes to pay off the debt.

Afterwards, Grandpa Zeng knew that gambling was a game, that is, for their Gu family's recipes, remorseful, and ended up depressed early, to Grandpa's generation, because Grandpa Zeng's grandfather died early, and did not teach all the skills to Grandpa, Grandpa can only rely on the remaining half of the recipes to practice cooking, Grandpa's wish since childhood is to return to the other half of the recipes.

After many inquiries, Gu Qingyu knew that the recipe was later sold to the Xie family, which also made the Xie family, who was already running a restaurant, like a tiger. Now that my grandfather is sick, time is running out, in order to fulfill my grandfather's wish, Gu Qingyu tried his best to participate in this competition, just to get the other half of the recipe, even if he can't buy it back, let his grandfather touch it, take a look, his old man has no regrets.

She carefully hid her business card in her arms and left the competition venue, however, as soon as she went out, she ran into the person she least wanted to see - her ex-boyfriend, Zhou Shi.

"Qingyu! It's really you! Zhou Shi stopped Gu Qingyu's way and said excitedly.

Gu Qingyu glanced at the clothes on Zhou Shi's body, he was wearing a chef's uniform that was exactly the same as himself, and this dress was provided by the Xie family.

She sneered: "You're also here to compete?" Didn't you make the cut? ”

Zhou Shi and her bad fate, speaking of a piece of cloth as long, in order to learn cooking, he worshipped his grandfather as a teacher, his talent was not as good as her, and his hard work was not as good as her, but he always felt that his grandfather had a hidden recipe and refused to teach him, and later, he tried his best to pursue himself, and she was moved, but she didn't want him to be a recipe for the Gu family!

Before she could kick him out of the door, this person hooked up with the daughter of a big hotel in a blink of an eye.

Sure enough, Zhou Shi didn't seem to see the shameful smile in her eyes, and said angrily: "I originally made Chinese food, and I have only learned Western food for a few months, of course I can't choose it!" Who knew that this Xie family has been running Chinese food, and suddenly there will be a Western food competition? ”

"You worshipped my grandfather as a teacher, and you should have devoted yourself to making Chinese food, but you switched to learning Western food, which is nondescript and destined to be unsuccessful!" Gu Qingyu sneered coldly.

Zhou Shi was a little embarrassed, but he squeezed out a smile on his face, and asked tentatively, "What about you?" I know you won't betray your master, you came to Xie's for the recipe, right? ”
