『Chapter error, click here to report』

Generally speaking, in the kitchen, the head chef and the head chef generally do not cook or perform specific operations, but have to take charge of the overall division of labor and distribution of personnel, the control of the production rhythm and the control of the quality of dishes.

This is not because as a high-ranking leader, you can be lazy to give up ordinary work or enjoy the benefits of privileges, but because people's attention is limited, especially when you are under responsibility and pressure, it is basically difficult to take care of all aspects, so the habit of the chef has formed to free up the experience to concentrate on managing the kitchen.

However, there are exceptions, and it is not uncommon for chefs who are not of enough rank or budget to have too many people to drive themselves, or for the guests to be important and respectful, and the chef himself must show his or her skills.

Therefore, Foster must get started in person now, otherwise it will be too tight to complete the meal of nearly two hundred people with the four people he brought, of course, if it wasn't for Xiao Yi'er to provide a novel idea before coming, it would be useless to add him.

As for the original personnel in the back kitchen of this palace, they didn't plan to be able to count on it, even if they didn't worry about whether they, who were still at the ordinary level, could understand and keep up with the cooking skills they had already been trained by Xiao Yi's baptism.

And it is!

"Alfie, these ingredients you have prepared are not up to standard, please re-cut them!"

"Why! You have to give me a reasonable explanation!"

"The processing of the ball must be cut along the grain, otherwise it will deform and curl when heated, which is not conducive to plating, raw salmon must be slaughtered and cut no more than an hour before cooking, and the meat of the fire lizard will become very noticeable when it breaks down without being blooded...... You can't handle even the simplest potatoes, but if you look at the shape of these two potatoes, the error ratio is basically to the extent of three or four blades (the width of the blade), which simply can't be used for high-standard cooking!"

"You're nitpicking at all, you must still be dissatisfied with Master's expulsion of you back then, right! That's why you deliberately found fault to retaliate against me, don't forget what kind of place this is, you can't be allowed to go wild!" Alfie yelled with a bad face, after all, he couldn't openly disobey the arrangement of the chief manager Lloyd, he could only obediently let his kitchen team cooperate with Foster to help, and he was already angry, but he was stopped by Foster not long after he did it and accused them of poor quality of work, which was simply unbearable.

You must know that although Alfie knows that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between himself and Foster, since the situation is stronger than people and has to be dominated by the other party, he has long been ready to be called by others as coolies, but that is just a little physically tired, although he is used to being pampered, but after today, he is still a high-ranking court chef, and Foster continues to go back to be his small restaurant cook, and it is clear who the titles of winner and loser belong to in life.

But Foster's words at this time pointed out that his skills were not up to par, which could not but be taken seriously, no matter how he was at the level of a master craftsman, he was accused of not being able to do it in front of a weak person who had been at the level of a craftsman for more than ten years, and what could be more humiliating than this! So his self-esteem exploded instantly, and he couldn't take care of the mood of hiberning first and then waiting for the other party to smash the pot and watch a good show.

"Don't pretend to be serious here, if you don't know how to do it, you have to be at the level of a master! Do you think I don't know these things! But please see clearly, now I am preparing a meal for two hundred people, not two people or twenty people, do you really want to talk about Seiko and meticulous work, you are a master craftsman, do you have room to speak in front of my master craftsman! A real chef must be able to adapt to the needs of various meals in a truly long-term normal kitchen and flexibly make corresponding changes to qualify, not just learn to cook a few dishes.

Besides, nearly half of the guests this time are actual generals of the military, and those rough billets can't appreciate the fine cooking methods and rich seasoning, and you spend all your time on these subtle tricks, not only will no one buy it, but it will also affect your cooking speed, if you can't serve the food in time because of this, it will be a big loss!

Don't look at the kitchen operation of a palace through the eyes of your small slum restaurant, not knowing how to pretend to understand will not make you look profound, it will only expose your shallowness. I advise you to do what you can, if you are not sure, it is better for me to take over, otherwise you will mess up this important banquet, I think even if your so-called boss has a little face to get into this banquet, you will eventually suffer the wrath of Your Majesty......"

"That's it, our boss is not for your good, you don't appreciate it and pick thorns everywhere, your character is really inferior, no wonder you want to be expelled from the division by your own master!"

"If I say that the things I cut are not qualified, that's just that I didn't really do it in front of you! If you don't believe that you cut it yourself, it is impossible to prepare for it by a few of you who completely give up the quality!"

Now not only Alfie, but even the palace chef behind him began to talk coolly, most of these people did not belong to the apprentices brought in by Alfie, and some of them even had families working in the palace kitchen for generations, in fact, they couldn't go along with it.

But on the one hand, the rank of Alfie's master craftsman is enough to overwhelm the others, and secondly, as the actual person in charge of the back kitchen, it is not something that ordinary people like them are willing to offend.

In addition, no matter what his own strength is, the title of an imperial chef can still add a lot of light to his face, and Foster's presence as an outsider this time made them feel awkward as the hosts, not to mention that the accusation just now was very kicking, which naturally made these heads who were still intrigued and intrigue angry.

In the face of the chaotic magic sound, Foster just shook his head slightly, the expression on his face was not angry, but a little sad and helpless, because he looked at the seemingly righteous and excited scene in front of him, and suddenly thought that if he hadn't met Xiao Yi, I am afraid it would have been this appearance and level, but now it seems that it is simply sad and a little frightening!

"It's unreasonable! Forget it, I didn't plan to get any strong help from here, since you don't want to improve and can't meet the standards, you don't want to start making trouble.

This banquet will be fully responsible for our people!"
