Time is in a blink of an eye, and it is the Monday of the second week, which is the day when Qiao Yu should go to Xia's Food Restaurant to work for the first time. Qiao Yu came to the gourmet restaurant at 6:40 in the evening, this time was the time for dinner in the restaurant, and the business was very hot, and the restaurant was full of all kinds of guests.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu hurriedly walked into the staff changing room and changed into a clean white chef's uniform. As soon as I walked into the kitchen, it was not the deserted scene when I came to apply that day. It was afternoon when I came to apply that day, and there were no customers in the restaurant, so most of the chefs and helpers were off work or resting, and only Master Lu, as the head chef, remained in the kitchen to study the dishes. Today is completely different, it is the peak seating time for dinner, the orders of the guests are sent to the back kitchen like a running account, none of the kitchen stoves are idle, and all the chefs are busy working. The sizzle of boiling oil in a wok and the sound of chefs chopping vegetables blend together, making the entire hot kitchen feel like a boiling volcano.

"Master Lu, I'm here." Qiao Yu hurriedly took a few steps forward and greeted Master Lu.

Master Lu is not cooking, after all, the chef is not easy to make a move, only the distinguished guests and the restaurant's characteristics and specialty dishes, generally need the chef to cook.

Master Lu looked up and saw Qiao Yu walking over. "Oh, it's you, what's your name? Oh, yes, Qiao Yu from the God of War Academy. Oh, over there, go and help. Deal with that pile of crystal dishes. When Master Lu saw Qiao Yu coming, he immediately assigned him a job.

Crystal cabbage, as the name suggests, is a vegetable that has almost no color on its own, but is as crystal clear as a transparent crystal. Its taste is slightly cool and crisp, it can be eaten raw cold, or added to a variety of hot dishes, whether it is fried, cooked, fried, boiled, it has a unique flavor, and is deeply loved by the public. Crystal cabbage is a kind of vegetable varieties of the human empire in the universe era, is a green vegetable variety developed from the agricultural planet Rhineland, it is said that the original form is the cabbage planted by ancient humans, cabbage on the earth is known for its good planting, cheap and good, crystal cabbage follows this characteristic, although it is from the agricultural planet Rhine, but its own requirements for the planetary environment are not high, as long as a simple ecological greenhouse can be planted and produced in batches.

However, despite all the advantages of crystal cabbage, it is not so easy to deal with. This almost led to the fact that at the time when crystal cabbage was just being studied, it was almost considered a plant that was not suitable for use as an ingredient. The reason for this is that crystal cabbage is quite hard when it is not processed. That's right, it's hard, not as strong as a real crystal, but it's definitely a first-class hard among edible vegetables. If the ingredients are not softened, then people themselves will not be able to bite the vegetables. It wasn't until a top chef stumbled upon the softening of crystal cabbage while researching the dishes that the vegetable became widespread.

Qiao Yu walked to the board pointed out by Master Lu, under the board table is a basket of crystal vegetables that have been washed, crystal clear water droplets are still hanging on it, under the light and flames, flashing golden red light, very beautiful - this is also one of the reasons why many chefs apply crystal dishes to dishes, and the appearance of crystal dishes is quite high among vegetables.

Qiao Yu took out a washed crystal vegetable from the basket, and as soon as his hand touched the crystal cabbage, his face was immediately full of doubts - this crystal vegetable was not softened.

"Master Lu, is this crystal dish a mistake? It's not softened, huh? Qiao Yu asked Master Lu on the side.

"Softening? No, no, no, the crystal cabbage I let you deal with now is to cut it into pieces without softening treatment, although the softening method has been optimized countless times over the years, but it is still inevitable that there is some damage to the original taste of the crystal cabbage, our Xia restaurant has found that if the crystal cabbage is cut in a hardened state first, and then softened during cooking, the essence of the crystal cabbage can be guaranteed to be the least lost. Anyway, as I said! Otherwise, why do you think a chef who is a good cook can be treated so well? Don't talk nonsense! Master Lu shouted.

"Understood." Qiao Yu nodded, and placed the crystal vegetable from the basket on the board. "Master Lu, what do you need to cut the crystal cabbage into?"

"Hardened crystal cabbage is not easy to cut into regular shapes, so try to cut them into small pieces." Master Lu said. "Oh, the kitchen knife on the table is specially used to cut hardened crystal vegetables, we can't use an electric heating knife or laser knife to cut vegetables, which will cause part of the essence of vegetables to be evaporated by the knife in the cutting process, so you can only use the most primitive kitchen knife, but this kind of kitchen knife in our restaurant uses a special open casting technology, and it uses a very advanced alloy casting, so you just cut it, as long as the strength is enough, there is no problem with cutting."

Qiao Yu's eyes looked at the kitchen knife that Master Lu said was specially used to cut crystal vegetables on the side of the board, and it didn't look much different from an ordinary kitchen knife, but since Master Lu said that it was specially cast in the restaurant, there should be no problem.

Qiao Yu picked up the knife, and the first feeling was Shen, very heavy. Ordinary stainless steel kitchen knives are generally very light and thin, weighing only 1-2 catties, but this kitchen knife can obviously feel the heavy weight when lifted with one hand, and Qiao Yu estimates that it will take at least 10 catties or more to have this feeling. But fortunately, if it is a human in the old era, wielding a 10-pound kitchen knife with one hand, I can't lift my wrist after a while, but the new human beings in the universe era have made considerable progress in terms of physique, and Qiao Yu is still a student of the God of War Academy, although it has not been for a long time, but he has also taken some physical fitness strengthening substances provided by the school, such as body strengthening potions, and the recent medical medicinal bath of the fighting club, the strength of the whole person is naturally not what it used to be.

Qiao Yu held the handle of the knife tightly, raised it slightly, aimed the blade at the middle of the crystal cabbage, and swung it downward, to his surprise, this kitchen knife actually really cut into the hardened crystal cabbage, although it was slightly sluggish, but it did cut in. Qiao Yu put force on his hand, cut to the surface of the case with a knife, and the crystal vegetable was split in two.

"Very good, it seems that you have a lot of strength, young man, then dispose of this batch of crystal vegetables as soon as possible, after processing, there will be over there." Master Lu pointed to the side of the kitchen, where there were rows of crystal baskets on the side of the wall.

Qiao Yu's face was black, "Master Lu, this, why are there so many?" ”

"Anyway, your task today is to deal with this! Don't ask so much! Cut out at least 5 baskets for me before I get off work! Do you understand, otherwise, even if you are passive and slack off your salary? If you cut enough, it will increase your salary as appropriate, and it all depends on your performance! ”

"Okay, I see." Qiao Yu shook his shoulders, "Then, I'll start!" ”

Qiao Yu poured his arm force, first using his wrist strength to chop vegetables, and when his wrist began to be sore, he waved his arm and used his arm strength to provide power, so as to rotate and try to make his muscles last longer.

After a while, Qiao Yu was immersed in this work of cutting vegetables, and the whole person's eyes seemed to be only left with the crystal vegetables in the board and basket and the kitchen knife in his hand.
