Chapter 2: The Mysterious Chef (2)
*
Applying for a chef?
Xia Shasha and Uncle Chen looked at each other.
"Shasha, who are you looking for?" Uncle Chen looked this 'applicant' up and down, well, no wonder Sha Sha didn't want to close the restaurant, if the chef was like this, the flow of people should be able to grow.
However, this young man is so handsome, it shouldn't be a boyfriend!
Uncle Chen's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Shasha, he was happy that her love life was settled, she was still single at the age of twenty-three, and she didn't even have a crush, and Shasha's parents were heartbroken before.
"Shahh, you're looking for a good place." Chen Boyu smiled with a pun.
"No, I don't know him."
Although she was very satisfied with the appearance of this applicant, but the restaurant sells dishes not faces, Xia Shasha is still sensible, not to mention, she has not recruited people at all, what she just said is just to reassure Uncle Chen, and she doesn't know what is going on at all.
As soon as he heard that Sha Sha didn't know each other, Uncle Chen felt that something was wrong, straightened his face, and stood in front of the man.
"Where did you hear about recruitment?"
The man frowned slightly, a little displeased, but still maintained a certain amount of politeness.
"My previous boss invited me here."
"The previous boss?" Xia Shasha's eyes widened: "Impossible, how could my dad hire someone for no reason, this place has always been run by our own family." ”
"It's normal to be understaffed and hire too many people." The man added: "Besides, can't you also help?" Without a sense of taste, you can't even see the fire. ”
Why did he know about it? Xia Shasha pursed her lips and began to consider the truth of his words, but after thinking about it, it is not too much of a secret that she has no sense of taste, just ask, but why should this person ask, just such a restaurant, what is the good picture?
Money, impossible?
She is not blind, this man is not only good-looking, but he is low-key but luxurious. Xia Shasha's college best friend studied in the design department, and she chatted with fashion magazines all day long, and she also recognized some of them, even if these are mountains, they are not cheap.
Her beauty? Well...... The teacher taught you to have a name for self-knowledge, which is too low.
So, what the hell?
When he was puzzled, the man took out his wallet, drew a check and handed it to Uncle Chen.
"Rent."
Looking at the amount on the check, Uncle Chen swallowed his saliva.
came to apply for the chef and pay the rent for himself, Xia Shasha felt that everything was magical, could it really be the person his father invited? Then why didn't Daddy mention it?
Uncle Chen was sober and not stupid by the denomination of the check, he looked at the man's hands that didn't look like a chef at all, and said: "Since you said that you are here to apply, then cook a dish to taste it first, Lao Xia will invite you to come, you should have some ability." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xia Shasha hurriedly agreed.
The man smiled again, and the two little tiger teeth were shining brightly, making Xia Shasha's heart leak another half a beat.
"Okay."

As if he had been here thousands of times, the man walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door directly, Xia Shasha followed behind, and suddenly found a big problem.
Because there are no guests, in order to save costs, she hasn't bought vegetables at all in the past few days, the refrigerator is empty, except for a box of aged wontons, there is nothing else, what can be cooked in this way?
The man didn't say much when he looked at the barren refrigerator, took out the frozen wontons by himself, and suddenly turned around without warning, Xia Sha Sha didn't have time to retreat, the two were quite close, he looked down at Xia Sha Sha, and the man had a good smell similar to sandalwood, which went straight into her nose, making her heart beat faster again.
"Are you still so nervous?" He stared at Xia Shasha, a pair of deep eyes as if he was about to hook someone in.
"What do you mean?" Xia Shasha tilted her head, suppressed her heartbeat, and snorted.
Grow great? Talking so unpleasantly, do you know him very well? Say 'still', as if you've known her for a long time.
"Just now, you haven't even asked my name, how do you know that your father didn't mention it?"
It makes sense to say that, Xia Shasha patted her head.
"So, what's your name?"
"Five fires."
It's a strange name, so if he has a younger brother, he shouldn't be called Liuhuo......
Still pondering the question of the name, Wuhuo had already ignored her, and turned on the fire to boil water to prepare to cook wontons.
He didn't have any fancy movements, just boiled the water and threw it into the wontons, and when it was cooked, he quickly scooped it into two bowls, sprinkled some simple seasonings, and even if it was done, as long as he could cook instant noodles, he couldn't call it cooking skills at all.
Staring at the wontons in the bowl, Uncle Chen pouted in disgust: "Young man, this is just a dish, are you bluffing my old man?" ”
"Just try it." Wuhuo said lightly, and glanced at Xia Shasha, who had been standing next to him: "The other bowl is yours, eat it while it's hot." ”
"I can't taste it."
"Then don't you eat?"
Listening to Wuhuo's mention, she remembered that she hadn't eaten since she woke up this morning, and she was indeed hungry, and she didn't have a sense of taste, and she had to replenish the calories she should have, so she obediently sat opposite Uncle Chen.
When the first wonton was sent into Uncle Chen's mouth, a sadness suddenly welled up in his chest, this taste was exactly the same as the dry wonton cooked by his deceased wife, his wife had passed away for several years, and every time he missed his wife, he would cook a bowl to try if he could make a similar taste, but for so many years, I don't know if the person is wrong, or if there is a problem with his cooking skills, how can he not adjust the same taste, obviously at that time he always thinks that his wife's cooking is unpalatable......
Thinking of his deceased wife, a line of tears couldn't help falling, and Uncle Chen wiped his tears while eating, as if his wife was in front of him.
Seeing Uncle Chen crying, Xia Shasha thought it was choking, looked at Wuhuo, and suspected that he was here to make trouble, and he didn't pay attention to how many peppercorns he sprinkled just now, what a strange person.
But Uncle Chen doesn't look like ...... Forget it, it doesn't matter what seasoning he puts in it, anyway, whatever he eats in his mouth is the same, and sometimes it's good to have no sense of taste, just eat full.
Pick up a spoon and spoon one, and say it with a conscience, this wonton oil is shiny and does look good, but it's a pity that I can't say whether it's good or not.
When she took her first bite, Xia Sha Sha was stunned.
"This wonton is so fresh!" She blurted out. "It's just right!"
Five Fire was quite satisfied with her reaction, joke, who was he? Is there anyone in the world who can control fire better than him? No way.
When Xia Shasha was in a hurry to eat the second one, suddenly she and Uncle Chen thought of the same thing.
Chen Bo was stunned: "Shasha, what did you just say?" ”
"I ...... I said this ravioli is very fresh......"
"Did you taste it?"
