In the wing room of Yuelaiju and Yuedian.

Zhou Xuebin was tidying up the kitchenware in the private kitchen, holding a piece of silk in his hand, gently wiping a kitchen knife, the light and gentle movements, like stroking his own **.

"Master, you've been busy all day, so let's rest for a while. Liu Qiang walked into the back kitchen and said softly.

"It's okay, I'm not tired right now. Zhou Xuebin shook his head slightly and asked, "Where have you been this morning, why haven't I seen you all this time." ”

"Master, today the restaurant is recruiting a cook, and I brought Yan Nantian to the interview, so I delayed a little in the morning. Liu Qiang replied.

"I remember, you mentioned it to me yesterday. Zhou Xuebin responded, showing a touch of curiosity, and said, "By the way, how was that kid's interview?"

"That kid passed the interview and has become a temporary assistant chef in the restaurant. ”

"That kid actually passed the guò test?" Zhou Xuebin looked a little surprised, and said after a moment of silence: "Wu Qiankun has always been strict, how can he let a sixteen-year-old boy pass the guò test?"

"Master, at the beginning, I didn't think that Yan Nantian could pass the guò test, but I didn't expect this kid to be hidden and his cooking skills were amazing. Liu Qiang showed a wry smile and said.

"Oh, it's not easy to win your praise, what kind of cooking skills does this kid have?" Zhou Xuebin asked.

"At the beginning, Master Wu felt that Yan Nantian was young, and he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for him, so he asked him to divide a whole wild bull beast within an hour before allowing Yan Nantian to test it; I never thought that Yan Nantian's sword skills were amazing, and he would divide the wild bull beast in less than half an hour, and he was stunned and stunned at that time. Liu Qiang said with a smile.

"Half an hour to split a brute beast, this kid's sword skills are so powerful, I remember that he doesn't seem to have cultivated spiritual power. Zhou Xuebin's expression moved slightly and said.

For a spirit chef, it may not be a difficult thing to divide a wild bull beast in half an hour, but for an ordinary chef, it is an extremely difficult thing.

"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I didn't expect this kid's knife skills to be so powerful, and Master Wu seemed to appreciate him a little. Liu Qiang said.

"That's kind of interesting. Zhou Xuebin smiled, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and said, "You bring him to see me tomorrow, I want to talk to him in person." ”

Although Zhou Xuebin has only seen Yan Nantian once, Zhou Xuebin uses the tofu made by Yannan Tianming every day, which invisibly also pulls in the relationship between him and Yan Nantian.

"Yes, sir. ”

After seeing Yan Nantian's knife technique, Liu Qiang originally planned to introduce him to Zhou Xuebin, but now Zhou Xuebin offered to see Yan Nantian, and Liu Qiang was naturally happy to agree.

......

The time of happiness is always short-lived, because thinking about tomorrow's competition, Yan Nantian only stayed in Yipinju for an hour, and then returned to Yuelaiju Restaurant.

After Yan Nantian returned to Yuelaiju, he put his belongings in the dormitory, and immediately rushed to the back kitchen of Yuelaiju.

The pattern of the 'Joy Dining Room' used by the temporary kitchen is similar to that used by the Spirit Kitchen, except that there are more kitchenware and the ingredients are more precious.

However, compared with the back kitchen of an ordinary restaurant, it is a higher level, and the kitchen needs are all available, and Yan Nantian also received a set of them.

Yan Nantian familiarized himself with all kinds of kitchen utensils, sharpened the knives assigned to him, cleaned the pots, bowls, scoops, and basins, and then began to familiarize himself with various ingredients.

A chef who is not familiar with the ingredients is like a soldier who has gone to the battlefield but forgot to bring bullets, and may be able to hold out for a while at first, but will definitely die a miserable death after the battle.

No matter how good a chef's cooking skills are, he will also have a feeling of being at a loss in the face of unfamiliar ingredients, just like a liberal arts student doing a science exam paper, even if he has rich experience in the exam, he will lack basic knowledge.

Moreover, Feng Shuangxi also had a hint before to familiarize Yan Nantian with the ingredients in the kitchen, although he was not sure whether this hint was related to the content of the competition, but Yan Nantian felt that he should give it a try.

The ingredients are all placed in the wing room of the back kitchen, Yan Nantian poured a glass of water, and then walked into the wing room containing the ingredients, drank a sip of water, tasted an ingredient, and became familiar with the taste of each ingredient as much as possible.

Since his rebirth, Yan Nantian has been cultivating the true understanding of the tongue, and with decades of memory and experience, the tongue's sensitivity and judgment of taste have far surpassed ordinary people.

In addition, the previous owner of this body has grown up in a chef's family since he was a child, and he is very familiar with all kinds of ingredients, and Yan Nantian has absorbed the previous memories of this body, so Yan Nantian's process of getting familiar with the ingredients is very fast.

Although I am very confident in my cooking skills, this is not the earth after all, and there are unique cooking skills in this world, and the level of chefs is no worse than that of the earth.

Therefore, Yan Nantian didn't dare to take it lightly, and prepared until the early hours of the morning, tasted all the ingredients, and basically mastered the taste of most of the ingredients, and then dragged his tired body back to the dormitory to rest.

......

In the early morning, the warm sun shines on the ground.

Yuelaiju's temporary assistant chef started preparing breakfast very early, including three fresh steamed buns, snowflake steamed eggs, jade wotou, five-spice vegetarian dishes, and nine-pin lotus seed porridge......

Every dish is from the hands of famous chefs, and every dish is very exquisite, even a generation of famous chef Yan Nantian, after seeing everyone's cooking skills, he can't help but secretly marvel in his heart.

The job of the temporary assistant chef is to be responsible for the three meals a day of the staff, and after making breakfast, many temporary assistant chefs are idle, and everyone gathers to eat.

Although Yan Nantian is a newcomer, he has become the focus of everyone's attention because of his cooking skills with Zhang Hengchun, and many people have taken the initiative to greet him.

After Yan Nantian greeted everyone, he also sat down at the table to eat, breakfast was relatively simple, but the simpler the dish, the more it tested the chef's cooking skills.

Yan Nantian picked up a jade nest, which was made with an ingredient called snow cabbage and similar to cornmeal, the dough was soft and chewy, and the snow cabbage was fragrant, sweet and crispy.

Except for the jade nest, Yan Nantian tasted the rest of the food one by one, and now each dish is very delicious, no worse than the five-star hotels on the earth.

Seeing Yan Nantian sitting and eating together, the surrounding cooks couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Little Brother Yan, aren't you going to try your cooking skills with Zhang Hengchun today?" Did Elder Feng say a specific time. ”

"I remember that Elder Feng mentioned it, it should be this morning. "Yannan Heavenly Dao.

"Oh, what the hell is that contest about?" asked the other cook.

"I don't know about this, and Elder Feng won't reveal it lightly. Yan Nantian smiled and said.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's eat quickly, maybe after eating, Elder Feng will preside over the competition. The other cook said with some excitement.

These temporary cooks, usually can not go out at will, every day is to cook, eat, sleep, life is extremely monotonous, no passion, now Zhang Hengchun and Yan Nantian want to try their cooking skills, immediately become the focus of everyone's gossip and concern.

After the meal, many cooks gathered in the courtyard, all discussing in a low voice about the cooking competition, Yan Nantian stood aside and closed his eyes to recuperate, not to pretend to be a master, but that he slept too late last night and wanted to take the opportunity to recuperate.

Suddenly, a helper pointed to the gate of the courtyard and shouted, "Look, Zhang Hengchun is also here." ”

The words of this helper immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their heads to look at the door, and now Zhang Hengchun really came in, and there was a man beside him.

"Ah, the person next to Zhang Hengchun isn't Senior Brother Liu, the official assistant chef next to Ling Chef?" said a sharp-eyed assistant chef.

"Yes, I heard that this Senior Brother Liu is not only an official cook, but also an apprentice of Wu Qiankun's spiritual chef, and his identity and status are not comparable to us. ”

"Zhang Hengchun and Senior Brother Liu are good friends, it seems that this Senior Brother Liu is here to suppress Zhang Hengchun. Many cooks said more excitedly.

At this time, Yan Nantian also observed Zhang Hengchun and Liu Qiming, and saw that the relationship between the two was close, and his previous doubts suddenly became clear, and the thing that he was appreciated by Wu Qiankun should be the secret that Liu Qiming told him.

"Look, isn't that big man Liu Qiang's cook? Why is he here too?" another exclamation sounded.

"Liu Bangchu is a close confidant of Zhou Lingchu, so it could be that Zhou's predecessors sent him. ”

"Mom, it's just a small competition, how can it attract so many big people, could it be that this competition has already alarmed the two spirit chefs. A cook guessed with a stunned look on his face.

At the beginning, everyone just wanted to watch the excitement, however, the successive arrival of Liu Qiming and Liu Qiang made everyone's attitude gradually more solemn, and they were more looking forward to this competition.
