After returning to the room, Zuo Xuan began to carefully study the book "The Self-cultivation of the Chef", and wrote a very beautiful sentence in block letters on the first page of the opening chapter.

"Success comes from perseverance!" is a note that seems to be relatively old, and it should have been written first. It was followed by a sentence that seemed to have just been written, "Choice is greater than persistence!"

These two sentences are the greatest portrayal of his father's lifelong efforts, Zuo Xuan sighed as he looked at it.

When he was young, his father worked as a chef in a small restaurant and never improved, but then he came to a star-rated restaurant by chance, and after getting along with the chef for several years, he improved his cooking skills a lot. Later, with his current cooking skills, his father was able to become the only chef of the current restaurant.

Put away your thoughts, turn the title page message, and officially start learning "The Self-cultivation of a Chef".

There are a lot of basics about the basics of the kitchen, as well as a lot of cooking tips, and there are a lot of notes, old and new.

Under the powerful learning mode, Zuo Xuan's entire sincerity entered a wonderful state, everything in his body was in the service of learning, and everything that had nothing to do with learning was lowered in his function.

And Zuo Xuan's mind at the moment is all about the knowledge and skills of cooking, under this whole-body learning mode, Zuo Xuan's cooking theory is growing rapidly, of course, this is also related to Zuo Xuan's lack of knowledge.

It is often easy to draw on a blank piece of paper, but it is much more difficult to draw again on a piece of paper that has already been drawn, and even to change the original drawing.

In the learning mode, time always flies surprisingly fast, and what is even more peculiar is that the things learned are often deeply imprinted in the mind.

It wasn't until Zuo Xuan's body felt tired that Zuo Xuan stopped from the study mode and looked at the tiger-headed alarm clock at the head of the bed, and the time was displayed as 12:57. Before I knew it, I had been watching it for six hours.

["Chef's Self-cultivation" (with expert-level experience) Current study progress 18% Current comprehension level 2%]

Looking at the information that the ring had given him, he looked at the book in his hand that had been turned over about a fifth, and the pitiful level of comprehension.

"There is a long way to go to learn!" Zuo Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Just six hours of study has made Zuo Xuan improve a lot, and he has also learned a lot of cooking skills, although the cooking skills shown by the ring have not changed, but Zuo Xuan does have the illusion that he has become stronger.

Putting down the book, Zuo Xuan lay on the bed and recalled the knowledge he had just learned, and soon fell asleep.

......

Moxuan Pavilion is a medium-sized restaurant in the city, and although the name is very elegant, it is a modest Chinese restaurant, located near a low-traffic office building, and the main source of customers is the white-collar workers of several nearby office buildings.

With the development of the city, more and more western restaurants and buffets have opened nearby, resulting in fewer and fewer white-collar workers and regular customers coming to this traditional restaurant, and sometimes they can only reach the appearance of breaking even.

Many Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood can no longer support it, but because the dishes in Moxuan Pavilion taste delicious, they are only struggling to hold on now.

And Zuo Xuan also came to this hotel early, since he chose this restaurant as the starting point of his life, it is still very important to understand it.

It's eight o'clock in the morning, Zuo Xuan's father and the restaurant owner went to deal with the transfer, and Zuo Xuan came to the store to observe the situation in the store.

The restaurant opens at 9 a.m., and the waiters start working at that time, when the shopkeepers and handymen are busy in the back kitchen for the day's dishes.

At this time, Zuo Xuan came to the store and carefully looked at the environment of the store, the decoration was very simple, and the store was full of wooden carving elements.

The whole hotel also has only one floor, 12 tables, four private rooms, the table is a standard table of eight immortals, and the private room is an ancient wooden round table, which can seat 12 people in principle, which means that the hotel can sit at most 16 tables at the same time.

In the past, when the business was booming, basically each table could seat five waves of guests a day, the turnover was about 20,000, and the net profit every month was about 200,000.

Now the flow of people is divided by buffets and Western restaurants, and the daily turnover has shrunk by a small half, so that the net profit of each month is only tens of thousands, which is why the original boss does not want to do it.

Zuo Xuan looked at the account book of the hotel and frowned secretly, feeling as if he had entered a big pit.

Nowadays, this hotel can be said to be at the most risky time, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, which is like walking a tightrope, and you can't go wrong.

After reading the hall and the ledger, Zuo Xuan came to the back kitchen silently. I watched the two handymen methodically carry the dishes they needed today.

They were not surprised when they looked at Zuo Xuan, knowing that this was the head chef's son, and it was very likely that it would be their boss's son in the future. Besides, they also work as handymen so that they can learn some skills under the chef and become a chef in the future.

The whole kitchen is very clean, which makes people see that it is very tidy at a glance, and it may be because the chef has been upgraded to the boss, so the kitchen works a little harder.

After visiting this store, the overall feeling to Zuo Xuan is a simple and clean restaurant, which can also be said to be featureless, and the only feature may be a unique name.

Outside the hotel at this time, the owner of the store was making the final handover with Zuo Quan.

"Lao Zuo, this shop will be handed over to you in the future, what about me, I am old, and I can't continue to serve the restaurant after retirement. A slightly chubby man with a half-white head looked at Zuo Quan with a happy expression and said.

Zuo Xuan listened to it from the sidelines, obviously it was because this store didn't make money at the beginning that he chose to make a move, so if he was old, he would say it well.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will run this restaurant well, and you can come over to eat at any time when you are free. Zuo Quan said with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely. I still know that my restaurant has been supported by your craftsmanship for so many years. I'll rest assured for you now, okay, I won't bother you anymore, you're busy, I'll go first. The man smiled, turned and got into his BMW, and drove away.

"Dad, this store doesn't seem to be making much money anymore. Zuo Xuan slowly stepped forward and said at this time.

"I know, if I don't even know this, won't I be a chef for nothing?" Zuo Quan replied with a smile, but there was an absolute confidence in his smile, confidence in his cooking skills.

"Then why did you choose to take over this store in the first place?" Zuo Xuan asked suspiciously.

"Isn't this what my son encouraged me to do next, how about it?College student, how do we need to break the embarrassment of this store next?" Zuo Quan said to Zuo Xuan with a soft smile.

Zuo Xuan looked at his father's smile, he remembered the last time his father laughed like this, he was still in high school, at that time he was almost about to give up the college entrance examination, but he was encouraged by his father with a smile, and it was also a test of his perseverance, but unfortunately he was still slack in college in the end.

Zuo Xuan took a deep breath, he knew that the trouble this time was even more difficult than back then, if the hotel operation failed this time, their family would go from being well-off to before liberation!
