Chapter 17 God is God
"This person can be hired and let Chef Zhao give him some guidance, and maybe in a few years, another celebrity chef can be added to our hotel."
On the judging bench, one of the hotel shareholders also said a few words to a chef next to him when he looked at the young man's skilled knife work, which caused several other shareholders on the judges' table to nod secretly.
"Yes, yes.." When the chef saw the shareholders speak, he also put down the serious face that had been there since the beginning of the job fair, and complimented several hotel shareholders a few times.
And in the crowd, under the young chef's knife work, he also gathered the attention of many passers-by.
For example, next to the chubby passer-by boss, there was a energetic old man, who walked up to the chubby boss like an acquaintance, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Lao Zhang, you're here too."
The old man said, after seeing the fat boss turn around, the old man's eyes looked at the young chef again, "Lao Zhang's vision is good, this young man is not very old, it is estimated that he will be able to support the scene in a mid-range restaurant after a few years of training." ”
"Boss Li has so many capable people, he won't compete with me for talents, right?" After the fat boss saw the old man, although he was complimenting him in his words, his tone revealed displeasure.
But the fat boss still doesn't know that this young chef has actually been recruited by the hotel, even if he can grab the old man in front of him, he can't grab the brilliant hotel.
"The more talent, the better." Again, the old man didn't know about it.
However, when he heard the sarcasm of the fat boss at this time, he didn't care, but smiled and said: "Now many chefs are checking the kitchenware, and they haven't started work yet." So let's not talk about this for now, let's see if there are any other talents. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the recruitment area under the pergola.
There, there are also several chefs who are sorting out their ingredients and sorting them into categories, and they don't start in the first place.
This is to prevent you from getting scrambling when you can cook.
For example, after Liao Jie finished taking the ingredients, he didn't use the knife as soon as possible.
It's not that Liao Jie is also afraid that he will make the wrong ingredients, but he first glanced around and looked at other people's knife skills.
In the same way, he also saw the young chef who was admired by many people.
"This young man's knife skills are really good, and he has my three-point skills."
He glanced at the chef who was engrossed in carving turnips, and after a sincere compliment, he took a sea bass from the basket under the kitchen table and placed it on the table.
Smack—
When the perch came out of the water frame, it was tossing and struggling up and down the table.
After Liao Jie saw it, he first took out the knife, moved his wrist, and held the handle of the knife a little, and with a soft "snap", the perch stopped struggling, remained motionless, and lay quietly on the table.
"Well, it didn't take much effort for the chef to keep the fish still, as if he were faked, how did he do that?" A few passers-by saw this scene and became interested.
Because when they make fish soup on weekdays, they are often tossed by live fish.
But it is not difficult to see that in addition to some small restaurant owners, many passers-by who come around also like to cook and really want to come here to learn some crafts.
After Liao Jie saw that the fish did not move, he reversed it left and right, and repeatedly slapped the fish body with the blade of the knife a few times, as if he was beating the fish scales, so that these passers-by who wanted to learn the craft were a little puzzled when they saw it, and they didn't know what the middle-aged chef wanted to do.
"Does he have a knack for removing fish scales? Can you save more time? A few people speculated a little curious.
But then, in their surprised eyes, Liao Jie held the head of the fish with one hand, and held the sharp blade with the other hand, and after separating the fish body into a thin slit, they exclaimed in surprise when they used the tip of the knife to pick out the entire section of the fish bone without any breakage.
"Is this making a movie?" After the old man and the fat boss saw this scene, their eyes widened, they didn't believe that a person's knife work could reach such a point.
In their minds, this is no longer cooking, but performing some kind of magic.
He took a knife and slapped the body of the fish, which should separate the main bone from the body of the fish, and also break the bones connected to the head of the fish. But the body of the fish is connected to the bones and bones of the fish, how did he do it? "The fat boss is blindfolded, I don't know if Liao Jie is a legendary martial arts master, and what kind of magic skill will be used to separate flesh and blood.
Similarly, after hearing the exclamation of the fat boss, many passers-by also looked towards Liao Jie, and also saw that Liao Jie used the same technique to take out the bones of three more perch.
"I've only seen this scene on TV... And that chef's dish still shines.." A passer-by, after seeing Liao Jie's amazing knife work, also stopped and found a seat to watch, wanting to see what kind of food this amazing chef would bring them, and even whether it would shine.
That's all, just for a moment.
With Liao Jie's knife carving tofu and lemon carving, under the more and more miraculous knife work, the exclamation in the pergola sounded, and more and more people gathered on the street, filling the seats in the gazebo, causing many passers-by to stand and watch.
"As long as this chef stays in our hotel, not to mention how well he cooks, just talking about this kind of knife work, many guests will come to our hotel and try the chef's skills."
The owner of the hotel was also smiling when he saw this scene. So, I called a few more staff members to go to the hotel to move some tables and chairs, so that passers-by could sit and rest.
And as time passed, about forty minutes later, at nearly four o'clock, Liao Jie also put the fish bones taken out during the period and the mashed sauce into the fish soup that was about to be stewed.
Then, he picked up the flowers carved from lemons and threw them into the fish soup, but in just ten seconds, these "flowers" magically melted away, forming a layer of faint pale gold on the fish soup.
"This dish is called lemonfish. In the summer, you can cool off and relieve fatigue. And after Liao Jie finished everything, he began to point to the four plates of fish soup and introduce his dishes.
But as he spoke, he found it a little quiet.
When he looked up, he saw passers-by staring blankly at him.
Even many of the chefs who participated in the recruitment looked at him in a daze after holding their knives in the air, and they didn't do their own dishes.
Because, under the illumination of the sun, they saw that the fish soup made by Liao Jie was really shining.
"I'm Cao! How does this compare! The young chef was in turmoil, and when he accidentally used force in his hands, he broke all the "boat turnips" that he had carved with great difficulty.
However, in the position of the judges, several shareholders have seen the big scene.
After they quickly recovered from this scene where their appreciation was far greater than cooking, they began to hurriedly greet this "god chef" who came to hire.
"Come on.. Taste this... Liao.. Mr. Liao's cooking! ”
Several major shareholders of the hotel were smiling and said as they stepped down from the judging position.
Subsequently, they came to Liao Jie's side, and when they saw Liao Jie nodding in permission, they each took some bowls and chopsticks under the drooling eyes of passers-by, and personally filled the fragrant "golden fish soup" to their faces.
