In the wing room on the landlord's side, there are two men busy in the room, seemingly sorting out the ingredients in the kitchen.

One of the middle-aged men, with a burly figure, big shoulders and a round waist, spoke in a rough voice, and had a blue girdle wrapped around his body, which was Wu Qiankun from Yuelaiju Restaurant.

Wu Qiankun is considered an old man in Yuelaiju, and among the four spirit chefs, he has the longest seniority, and he is more square and the most rules-oriented, but he seems a little roundabout and inflexible.

Next to Wu Qiankun stood a young man, this young man looked to be in his twenties, handsome and tall, it was Wu Qiankun's disciple Liu Qiming, and he was also Yuelaiju's assistant cook.

Liu Qiming cleaned the board, then wiped his hands, walked to Wu Qiankun's side, and said: "Master, Wang Quan will leave his post in two days, did you decide on a candidate to replace him as soon as possible, and the province will delay the work at that time." ”

"Wang Quan is a good helper, if it weren't for his age, I would be reluctant to let him go. Wu Qiankun sighed, then glanced at his disciple and asked, "Xiao Ming, which of those temporary cooks do you think is suitable to take over Wang Quan's work?"

Regarding the title of Xiao Ming, although Liu Qiming didn't like it in his heart, he was no longer surprised, and said: "Master, I think Zhang Hengchun is a good candidate for temporary help. ”

"I have some impression of this person. Wu Qiankun pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you recommend Zhang Hengchun and tell me what you think?"

Hearing Wu Qiankun's words, Liu Qiming smiled slightly, the reason why he recommended Zhang Hengchun was because the other party's cooking skills were indeed good, and the main thing was that Zhang Hengchun could be a man, so in order to let Liu Qiming help him speak, he privately gave thousands of taels of silver.

Of course, this kind of thing naturally can't be said explicitly, Liu Qiming pondered his words, and said: "Zhang Hengchun is a good cook, and he is also very diligent in doing things, weren't you very optimistic about him before?"

"When you have time, you can bring him to see me. Wu Qiankun responded, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this candidate.

"Okay, I'll bring him to meet the master this evening. Liu Qiming bowed and responded.

At this moment, a man ran in, bowed to Wu Qiankun, and said, "Master Wu, Shopkeeper Lin is outside the courtyard, saying that there is something looking for you." ”

......

In the courtyard of the dining room.

Lin Yue'er, Yan Nantian, and Liu Qiang stood in the courtyard, Lin Yue'er stood in place, like a beautiful landscape, and Yan Nantian and Liu Qiang whispered.

Yan Nantian glanced at the courtyard, where there were more than a dozen wooden tables, stoves, and a large number of kitchenware and ingredients, and said curiously: "Master Liu, this is the back kitchen of Yuelaiju?"

"This courtyard is a common area, and the surrounding rooms are private kitchens, and each spiritual kitchen has a private kitchen. Liu Qiang introduced.

"Click......

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw three people walking out of the east wing.

The man led by these three people is Wu Qiankun, the spiritual chef of Yuelaiju, followed by his apprentice Liu Qiming, and the other person is Zhou Cang, the assistant chef under Liu Qiming.

"Shopkeeper Lin, it's a long way to come. Wu Qiankun held up his big belly, walked into the courtyard, arched his hand at Lin Yue'er, and said.

"Brother Wu, I don't dare to ask you to greet you. Lin Yue'er chuckled, her beautiful eyes glanced at Yan Nantian, and said, "I came here today because Liu Qiang introduced a friend and wanted to apply for a job as a chef in our Yuelaiju." ”

"Really?" Wu Qiankun responded, glanced at Liu Qiang, then at Yan Nantian, and finally turned his gaze to Lin Yue'er and asked, "Where are the people?"

"In Xia Yan Nantian, I have seen Lord Lingchu. Yan Nantian bowed and saluted.

"Could it be that you kid is the one who came to apply!" Seeing Yan Nantian bow and salute, Wu Qiankun asked in some surprise.

"Yes, it's down there. Yan Nantian replied.

"How old are you this year, it seems that you haven't cultivated spiritual power. Wu Qiankun frowned slightly, he automatically ignored Yan Nantian just now, and he didn't expect that this young man was the one who applied to help the cook.

"I am sixteen years old this year, and I really haven't cultivated spiritual power. Yan Nantian said truthfully.

And so it was. Wu Qiankun shook his head slightly, and he was almost not interested in this test.

As Wu Qiankun's apprentice and assistant, Liu Qiming knew Wu Qiankun very well, and when he saw that the other party was a little gloomy, he took the initiative to stand up and share his worries for the master, saying:

"Liu Qiang, what benefits did you take from this kid, you actually brought this half-old child in, I think he can't even hold a knife steadily, what qualifications do you have to be Yuelaiju's cook." ”

"That is, if this kid can be a chef, then I can be a spirit chef, I think this kid is here to make trouble. ”

Hearing the words of the two people, Liu Qiang looked a little embarrassed, he saw that Yan Nantian's cooking skills were good, and kindly introduced him to Yuelaiju, which was originally a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, where did he think that someone would splash dirty water on him.

"You two rabbit cubs shut up, if it weren't for Wu Ye's face, I would definitely tear your mouths. Liu Qiang's eyes widened and he muttered in a low voice.

"Shopkeeper Lin, this test will be waived, and the next time you interview candidates, it is best to choose some candidates who are older and have chef experience. Wu Qiankun glanced at Yan Nantian again, he really couldn't mention the rise of the test, in his opinion, cooking is a noble profession, not for children to play at home.

"Little brother, you heard Lord Lingchu's words, it's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that Lord Lingchu doesn't look down on you. Lin Yue'er pursed her lips and muttered to Yan Nantian on the side, saying.

At this time, Yan Nantian's face was pale, and everyone's contempt and ridicule made Yan Nantian feel very aggrieved, thinking that he was a dignified generation of Chinese chefs, but he had become a soft-footed shrimp who was bullied.

Moreover, Liu Qiang kindly introduced him, but before he could thank him, the other party was affected by himself, which made Yan Nantian feel indebted.

"Senior Spirit Chef, since I'm already here, why don't you give me a chance to test?" Yan Nantian asked.

Before Wu Qiankun could answer, Master Liu Qiming on the side replied: "Boy, I see that your hair has not grown, so I want to learn from adults to be chefs, so let's go home and practice for a few years." ”

"I'm not old, I'm not small-minded, and I'm not afraid of flashing your kid's waist. Zhou Cang also sneered.

"Hmph, if you say that, in the future, there will be no need to test your cooking skills in the chef competition, just report your age, and you can directly compare your age. Yan Nantian scoffed.

"You ......" Hearing Yan Nantian's words, Liu Qiming was immediately generalized.

"Hehe, since you kid is not convinced, then I will give you a chance. Hearing Yan Nantian's words, Wu Qiankun felt a little interesting, pointed to the table on the side, and said:

"If you can divide that brute within an hour, I'll let you kid pass the guò test and become the assistant chef of Yuelaiju. ”

Yan Nantian looked along the table, and now there was a wild cow on it, although the wild cow had died, the skin on its body had not been peeled off, and the meat on its body had not been divided.

"Brute Bull Beast, although it is a low-level demonic beast, but it has rough skin and thick flesh and hard bones, it is difficult to divide even if it is a formal assistant cook, let alone a person who has just applied for a temporary assistant cook?" Hearing Wu Qiankun's words, Liu Qiang exclaimed in surprise and said.

"Brother Wu, this brute beast is worth more than a dozen spars, what if it is broken by this kid? . Lin Yue'er asked with some concern.

"Shopkeeper Lin doesn't have to worry, the skin of this brute cow is very tough, the muscles and bones are also extremely hard, and the sword is difficult to hurt, even if this kid has the heart, he is also weak. Wu Qiankun said disapprerovitically.

"Master is right, I think that kid can't even break the cowhide, let alone cut the beef. Liu Qiming said with a smile.

"That's it, this brute can't even be divided by me, let alone a hairy child. The other cook, Zhou Cang, sneered.

"Hehe, that's interesting. Lin Yue'er smiled, turned her head to look at Yan Nantian, and said, "Little brother, Brother Wu has already come up with the test questions, but I don't know if you dare to take it?"

"Why don't you dare, and I can divide it in less than an hour, half an hour. Yan Nantian looked at everyone coldly and said confidently.
