"The victory and defeat have been decided, why should Your Excellency make fun of me again!" the dead-faced Foster's tone was full of self-deprecation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Teasing?

"Isn't it!" The answer turned out to be a tone of hatred for iron, and Fawkes was very puzzled.

"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth, and I don't think I'll know the result because I think I'm going to be better than you, but because I'm sure you're going to behave badly!

Your hands are shaking even when they droop naturally, the temperature in this room is not high but your face is flushed, your pupils dilated, your eyes glazed over, your voice hoarse, combined with the slight smell of alcohol on your body, I can clearly tell that you are in a state of chronic alcoholism. ”

Although Xiao Yi used a word that no one had ever heard of, the two key words were understood by everyone, could it be ......

"Sorry, my words are inaccurate, this is my hometown saying, but since you are a chef, you should know that drinking such a thing as wine can drink dead people to a certain extent, right?

"Every chef has been told not to drink heavily when he was learning his craft, and while few strictly follow it, it's undeniable that wine can really ruin a chef's livelihood, and that is taste and precision, and I'm sure you're already aware of it. ”

Xiao Yi glanced at Foster and made sure that his inference was correct.

"If you shake your hands, you can't guarantee the fineness of the knife, and if you can't distinguish subtle changes in taste, let alone improve new recipes, you can't find the taste of existing dishes. As a chef, you may not be very in charge of cooking, but every dish that flows out of the kitchen must be checked by the chef, and if you have any doubts, you must taste and verify it yourself, and since you are participating in the competition today, you are showing your skills as an ordinary chef, and every dish you make has not been tasted by yourself.

I'm afraid it's not because of your arrogance, but because you know in your own heart that something is wrong with your sense of taste, and that you don't pay attention to even the most basic preparations and hygiene, I have to wonder if you haven't worked in the kitchen for a long time.

You're a craftsman-level chef, and you're so unfamiliar with it, I guess...... This period will not be less than two years!"

Exactly, Foster's mournful expression said it all, he now felt as if he were a commodity sold in a slave market, stripped naked and judged in public, without privacy or dignity, but these were all self-inflicted.

Since he was around forty years old, he contracted alcoholism after several failures to hit the level of the master craftsman, at first it was just a small fight, but then as time went by, he was once an elite person watching his peers and juniors catch up with his own level or even surpass step by step, and he can no longer face his own state normally, complaining about the injustice of God, complaining that he did not get the right opportunity, and borrowing alcohol all day to kill his sorrows, until one day three years ago he suddenly found that his tongue could no longer distinguish fine tastes, and he finally began to panic, but unfortunately no matter how he tried to find it, he could not get back to his former state。

In desperation, in order to hide his secret, he had to quit his job as the chef of the Duke's Palace, and took his group of apprentices to travel around the world, but because his state was deteriorating, he could no longer support the table in the back kitchen, he could only watch his team gradually lose its position in the fierce competition, even if the last four-leaf clover Chamber of Commerce restaurant was just a test of the water and wanted to set foot in the catering industry, and finally paid the price of inexperience as a result of closing, but he knew in his heart that he was ' The kitchen at the helm didn't work as well as it should.

He wanted to continue to change cities and start anew, he got Xiao Yi's recruitment information from Fowler, and the decision was indeed made after some weighing and consideration, given his deteriorating state, he did not want to work in a relatively high-level competitive environment, and experience proved that slapping a swollen face and being fat would only repeat the mistakes of the past.

And Xiao Yi's restaurant is located in the lower city, in its opinion, this proves that the boss has no strong funds, and the second is not too high power, even if these two points are not expected, there will be no high-level guests willing to condescend to this dirty downtown to eat, and this means that his back kitchen does not have to deal with many discerning diners, and the salary given by Xiao Yi is very attractive, maybe this is really a rare opportunity for them to stabilize from a long period of wandering.

But who would have thought that this extremely young boss was such a difficult character to fool, not only made unprecedented demands and directly intervened in the management of the back kitchen, but also turned into a chef and issued a greater "threat" to him.

In fact, it's not that he can't accept changing the menu, a restaurant must have its own characteristics if it wants to successfully gain a foothold, which he can understand, but Xiao Yi's situation is a little different after all, first, the change is too big, this point has been understood in advance from Fowler's side, Foster is really not sure to complete such a large menu change in such a short time, the time is too short and there are too many things to be familiar with, if his ability is still there, he can give it a try, but now ......! If Xiao Yi, as the boss, interferes too much in the kitchen, he will inevitably gradually notice his own problems, and at that time, once he is caught by the other party and takes the opportunity to reduce his salary, he will even follow the old routine of disputes and conflicts and finally being swept away.

Foster didn't want to lose this opportunity, so he could only pretend to be arrogant and resist Xiao Yi, and as for Xiao Yi's later appearance as a chef, it was a coincidence that he stabbed Foster in the sore spot, you must know that if a person has any flaws or weaknesses, he is often extremely sensitive to related issues, because he will do everything possible to hide his flaws in order to maintain his self-esteem, and even take the initiative to put on an aggressive offensive posture. After many years of career difficulties, Xiao Yi has multiple identities such as a boss, a young peer, and a revealer who wants to dig out his secrets, covering almost all the individual categories that have contradicted him over the years, so in the face of Xiao Yi's strength, he erupted uncontrollably, and now he feels uncontrollably ashamed of himself, all of which are his own fault.

"Whatever happens to you, it's your own private matter, and I am not interested and have no right to judge. But I think you need to know one thing, you should still be haunted by the things that have just entered the state of comprehension, right?"

Foster raised his head slightly, as Xiao Yi said, he really couldn't understand why his comprehension state didn't bring him any benefit, and he directly let him lose the competition.

"I don't know how your teacher used to teach you, but with my understanding of the state of comprehension, I can only say that it has nothing to do with the so-called 'gift of the gods'!"

Xiao Yi inadvertently slowed down his speech, until the tone of the last sentence seemed unusually determined.
