Chapter 511: Cook
The new chef named Shen Rui is very nice and diligent, and he usually helps out with other things when there are no customers, but these are not within his scope of work.
On the first day he came, Lu Qingqing told him that as long as the dishes were ready, nothing else mattered, but since he volunteered to help, he couldn't drive it away!
After a few months, Shen Rui got along well with his family, and his background was also known in the conversation.
Shen Rui is Chinese New Year's Eve years old this year, and he will be thirty-one after the New Year. Ordinary appearance, ordinary height, ordinary family. Not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, not as big as most chefs, thick neck, and not greasy.
Similarly, there is nothing outstanding, on the whole, it is ordinary, but he is a good person, and he knows how to advance and retreat, which makes Lu Qingqing very satisfied.
Shen Rui once had a wife who died in childbirth, and the child was not left. Since then, he has not remarried, always feeling that life is impermanent, for fear that if he marries again, something like that will happen again.
Probably because of the hardships he has experienced, his view of life is more open-minded, after getting along for a few days, Lu Qingqing also knows him very well, and he has an intuition that such a person should not easily change jobs, because he has almost no desires.
The reason why he became a chef is because his ancestors were chefs, and his grandfather once gave a meal to a certain warlord in the old society, and this experience was bragged for a lifetime, until in the end, it was also because of this that he was killed by fighting.
Shen Rui is an only child, which is rare, because his mother was sick, and in the end the illness was cured, but he could never give birth again, but the relationship between the couple has always been good.
Now Shen Rui doesn't want to get married, and plans to take in an apprentice when he is in his forties, and pass on the family's ancestral secret recipes, so as not to lose his skills.
When talking to each other, Shen Rui also had a special feeling for Lu Qingqing, it was not the love between men and women, he just felt that this woman was not like a woman from the countryside, she was similar to those learned people he had come into contact with, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she graduated from college.
However, Lu Qingqing's personality determines that she is willing to mingle with others. Therefore, whether it is the chef Shen Rui or the regular customers who often come to eat, they all get along well with her.
At noon that day, the restaurant was still busy, from time to time some diners left after eating, and some people came in to patronize, and the back kitchen was almost too busy.
When Shen Rui was in charge, Lu Qingqing basically didn't stretch out her hand, she gave him one day off every month, and only on that day would she replace him. When she is particularly busy now, she will give Shen Rui a hand and change the knife to cut the ingredients.
In the busy interval, Shen Rui watched Lu Qingqing neatly cut the green onions, and took the peeled potatoes and shredded them.
He couldn't help but sigh: "You are so powerful, did you do this at home before?" Have you been since childhood? This knife worker can't be used for seven or eight years. ”
Lu Qingqing's hand was stunned, the shredded potatoes of this knife were slightly thicker, she just came back to her senses after a moment of trance, "It's okay, I've been cooking since I was a child and exercised." ”
She did spend a lot of time, because she grew up in a restaurant, she especially liked to drill into the back kitchen, and practice knife skills when she had nothing to do, and her ideal at that time was to cook.
It wasn't until she was in high school that this ideal changed, but what she learned had become a habit and she couldn't forget it.
Recently, she seems to be thinking that the time for her family is getting less and less, maybe too busy. She was suddenly a little scared, one day, will she be affected by the environment and completely become the current Lu Qingqing?
She didn't want that, and although it was impossible to go back, she still had to remember that she had a family and how much her family loved her.
