Chapter 11: The Chef

When Luo Yelin came over, An Juan casually took the plate over, and asked curiously: "Seeing that the prince and that son are chatting happily, is there anything interesting?" ”

Just now, An Juan followed Luo Yelin's figure and found that he and a man on Young Master Li's table had been communicating for a while, but each other's expressions were not happy, if you really want to find a word to describe it, it should be "meaningful".

Everyone has such a thing as curiosity, and An Juan couldn't resist this natural desire, so he took the initiative to ask about it.

Luo Yelin's expression froze for a moment, and then put away the strange look on his face, revealing a gentle smile: "This king and that prince talked about your store's membership card, and discussed the dishes you cooked, and they both thought they were delicious." ”

After saying this, Luo Yelin stopped saying more, and then kept looking into the pot in An Juan's hand: "What is Miss An doing here?" ”

Now An Juan was making rice bowls for the new guests, and when she saw that Luo Yelin avoided talking about the content of the conversation, she reluctantly gathered the curiosity in her heart, looked down at the dishes that were still juicy in the pot, and after stirring it twice, she directly scooped up a big spoon with a shovel and covered it on the rice bowl next to her.

After putting the bowl to the window, An Wan replied, "It's a 'rice bowl'." ”

Luo Yelin has been growing up for nearly 20 years, and it is the first time he has seen the practice of spreading vegetables on white rice, so he couldn't help but look closer, and then when Song Qin came over, he curiously asked the price of this rice bowl.

The rice and vegetables used for the rice bowl are not as much as they were when they were bought separately, and the asking price is correspondingly much lower, and it seems to be even more suitable for one person.

Luo Yelin quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this dish in his heart, and at the same time thought about the profits that this dish could bring to An Xuan.

Usually, everyone has to go to the restaurant with friends by default, and you must order at least three or four dishes to order food to live up to the plan to eat at the restaurant.

But for some guests who come to eat alone and the amount of food is not particularly large, it is a bit of a waste to order one dish and one meal.

At this time, if they see and understand the "rice bowl" made by An Juan, they are likely to order a dish, eat it quickly, and then leave.

After thinking about the context clearly, Luo Yelin let out a long sigh.

An Juan didn't know why the prince suddenly sighed, so he turned his head to look at him curiously, and happened to meet his eyes, and the two of them looked at each other unwillingly.

However, although there was not much affection in Luo Yelin's eyes, An Juan could clearly see the full admiration from it.

Sure enough, Luo Yelin's next words perfectly confirmed An Juan's feelings: "Miss An, this king really appreciates you," he said, his eyes were fixed on An Juan: "You can always have all kinds of whimsical ideas, and you are independent and generous......" He pondered for a while, but he still didn't immediately express the hazy feelings in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yelin was actually praising her creativity, An Juan listened, only felt a little fever on her face, and hurriedly explained embarrassedly: "The prince appreciates these ideas, and I appreciate them too, but these things are not something I came up with, in fact, they are other people's wisdom, and I just use them for a while." ”

An Juan can accept other people's praise for her personality, hobbies, speech and demeanor, and even accept some obvious boasts, but if this thing is not her original, but the fruit of someone else's labor, she is absolutely unwilling and impossible to take it as her own...... Like these recipes now.

So after hearing Luo Yelin's praise, An Juan quickly refuted some of the words, but finally followed up: "But the prince's praise for my 'independent and generous', I will accept it." ”

Unexpectedly, these dishes were not An Juan's originality, Luo Yelin just wanted to ask about the source, but he felt that this was the other party's private information, and he should not inquire at will.

So he only nodded, and then An Juan's witty words continued: "Although the recipe is very good, if it is not as good as Miss An's craftsmanship, it is estimated that it will not make diners linger so much," After that, he glanced sideways at the restaurant full of people, and then glanced at An Juan: "So Miss An's cooking skills are naturally a big plus." ”

An Juan is very confident in her cooking skills, so after listening to Luo Yelin's praise, she only blinked, and then took all the praise without hesitation: "I think so too." ”

This sentence that sounded too arrogant came out of An Juan's mouth, but it was calm and natural, so that Luo Yelin couldn't help but raise his head again and observe the expression of this little chef.

After finishing speaking, An Juan raised her head from the stove and smiled at Luo Yelin.

An Juan's appearance was already delicate and gentle, but now she is standing here without powder, but there is a charming magic that makes Luo Yelin, who has read countless beauties, lose her mind and freeze in place.

After laughing, An Juan lowered her head and continued to clean up the food in the pot, but Luo Yelin came back to his senses after a long time, first reached out to support his forehead, then turned around and returned to the table, sat on the chair and ordered a few dishes seriously, and then packed and took them away.

After a month, Anjuan's store has completely stabilized, from customer traffic to profit each time, it has been maintained at a level, and it has been steadily improving.

An Juan discussed hiring another chef, but began to hesitate in the questions raised by Song Qin and Song Jian.

Let's not talk about the chef's cooking skills, let's just talk about a chef who doesn't know the roots, will he immediately dismiss his job and go to another house to be a chef after learning all the peculiar dishes of An Juan, or simply open his own shop to fight against An Juan's Yuanju Pavilion?

These things are unknown, An Juan thought about it, and felt very entangled.

But even if they're scared about what might happen, they still need to add a few more chefs so that they can expand their store in the future.

Since he already had a plan, An Ju posted a recruitment notice on the wall of the hotel, saying that Yuanjuge was going to recruit a chef, requiring good craftsmanship, honesty, and negotiable salary.

After An Juan's Yuanju Pavilion gradually became popular, many hotels and inns in Jincheng paid more attention and wanted to come over to learn all the secrets of An Juan.

It's just that although they saw the steps of An Juan's cooking, they couldn't make the same taste at all, and for some of An Juan's original dishes, it was because An Juan's vigilant hid the important steps behind people, and they couldn't find it at all, and they couldn't study it.

During this time, they gave A Juan, Song Qin, and Song Jian a lot of gifts and silver taels, and each had their own requests, some wanted to poach people, some wanted to steal teachers, and some wanted to find out the raw material suppliers for An Juan's cooking...... These materials can't shake Song Qin and Song Jian, not only because they have always remembered An Juan's kindness, but also because they can see from the things sent by these people that the future development of An Juan's store is limitless, and as co-founders, the benefits are indispensable.

These big hotels, which couldn't find Anjuan's flaws, were ready to move after seeing the recruitment information posted by Anjuan, and they all wanted to stuff their own people to Anjuan's side, so as to achieve their ulterior purposes.

This afternoon, Luo Yelin walked into Anjuan's restaurant as usual, and as usual, he looked in the direction of the kitchen at first sight.

But what caught his eye was not An Juan's side face concentrating on cooking, but a man's head.

He was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took a few steps back and walked out of the hotel, looked up at the plaque above his head, and made sure that the three words written on it were indeed "Yuanju Pavilion" before re-entering the door.

This time, he looked at the kitchen again, and found that An Juan was beside the man, instructing him to cook.

What's going on?

Luo Yelin walked to the counter blankly, knocked on the counter table, and after attracting Song Qin's attention, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the kitchen in confusion: "What is Miss An doing?" ”

"Huh?" Song Qin followed Luo Yelin's gesture, glanced at the kitchen where An Juan was, and then showed a clear look: "The prince said that man, he is a chef who has been recruited, and Sister An asked him to make a dish to try first." ”

"Enlisted?" As soon as Luo Yelin finished speaking, he noticed that a piece of paper was pasted on the wall next to the counter, and it was quite eye-catching at first glance.

He roughly skimmed the contents of the paper, understood the cause and effect, stood next to the counter and thought about it, and then without hesitation, he strode to the kitchen door and leaned half of his body in: "Miss An! ”

Except for Luo Yelin, the other men all called An Juan "girl", so when she heard someone behind her call her "Miss An", An Juan didn't even analyze who this male voice was, so she turned her head with a smile: "Lord Wang!" ”

Seeing Luo Yelin, An Juan hurriedly said hello to him, then turned around and instructed the man to continue cooking, and when the dish was finished, he called her to come over for acceptance.

After finishing speaking, An Juan and Luo Yelin walked out of the kitchen together and sat down at a table next to them.

As soon as he sat on the chair, Luo Yelin asked a little eagerly: "Where did you recruit this person inside?" ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Yelin opened his mouth to ask about this matter, An Juan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, lifted his lips and smiled: "The prince should have also seen the list I posted on the wall," she turned her head and pointed to the paper that recruited the chef: "This man took the initiative to apply for the job, but I don't know his level very well, so I can only let him make a dish to try his hand first, and by the way, let me know in my heart." ”

"I see." Luo Yelin responded, then thought sideways for a while, and suddenly looked at An Xuan again: "Have you already decided to accept this person?" Aren't you afraid that he harbors evil intentions? ”
