Little Penguin Courtship Diary

The crystal-clear krill meat, with the shrimp lines removed, is neatly arranged on an ice bowl made of crushed ice.The steamed Dong Xing Ban was cooked just right, Zuo Yu was very satisfied, he took out the fish and poured the sauce on it, and it was done.

The aroma from the other side also floated over, and François's French-style pan-fried cod and crab cakes were also done, and the plate was beautifully plated, just like a work of art.

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't Chef Zuo's dish too shabby?" Shen Xun walked over to take a look and said.Compared with François's exquisite plate arrangement, Zuo Yu's plate is much more simple.The krill sashimi is covered with dense crushed ice to keep the temperature, and shredded radish is placed under the shrimp to avoid direct contact with the ice. The only decoration on the plate is two fiery red carnations.

And Dong Xing Ban is extremely simple, the red fish body is turned upside down by the hot air, red and white, with sauce on the bottom, and the fish body is only decorated with a few scallions.

"The delicacy of food lies in itself, not in the exquisite presentation of the plate." Zuo Yu said gently.

Shen Xun didn't take it seriously, and looked confident that he was sure of winning.

Shen Xiu invited Shen Bochang and Shen Jichang inside to taste, and they also took plates and tableware, and tasted one by one.

"It's delicious." Shen You took a mouthful of krill. The meat of the krill was so sweet that it didn't feel cold at all, just in line with human body temperature.

Zuo Yu was a little shy, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth following Shen You's expression.Every time she was praised by Shen You, it was as if she had won 500 million yuan, her heart beat fast, even after listening to it so many times, she didn't feel bored at all, instead she tended to become addicted.

"Chef François's presentation is exquisite, and the taste is delicious, not bad!" Shen Bochang said, "The crab cake is fresh but not greasy, and the pan-fried silver cod is just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!"

He walked up to Zuo Yu's work and stopped for a while, "These two plates... look more ordinary." While talking, he picked up a piece of krill meat and ate it.

Shen Bochang's eyes lit up, he ate another piece, and when he was done, he quickly asked Shen Jichang to taste it, "Eat, eat, this is good!"

This krill doesn't look special, and Shen Jichang didn't know why, so he came over to taste it, and his eyes lit up, "The temperature is good!" Shen Bochang nodded in agreement.

"Sashimi is very particular about the selection of materials, and it is also extremely particular about the temperature at the entrance. If it is too cold, the meat will be stiff and you may eat ice shards, but if it is too hot, it will lose the meaning of sashimi." Shen Bochang said, "But I came in to have a look just now, Chef Zuo peels the shrimp by hand. Krill is not easy to peel, the shrimp meat is always under the touch of fingers, it is logically impossible to maintain such a perfect temperature.”

All eyes in the kitchen were on Zuo Yu, and Shen You was standing beside him, who also looked at Zuo Yu upon hearing this.

Zuo Yu raised his head and bowed to Shen Bochang, and said, "I prepared a bowl of ice water when peeling. As long as my hands are kept in a low temperature state, the temperature of my fingers will not affect the quality of the shrimp meat."

Zuo Yu's answer made Shen Bochang nod and gave him an appreciative look.Nowadays, most of the dishes are exquisite and beautiful, but few people will work hard to restore the original appearance of things.Zuo Yu's simple and unpretentious answer left a good impression on Shen Bochang.

"As expected of Master Wan's apprentice." Shen Bochang said.

"Mr. Shen has won the award, and I am far behind Master." Zuo Yu said modestly.

"This Dongxingban is also good." Shen Jichang next to him said, "Steaming Dongxingban is a test of the chef's mastery of the heat. Each Dongxingban is different in size and shape. Chef Zuo is using this kitchen for the first time. , but can control the heat just right! It’s not easy!”

Zuo Yu hurriedly said that he has won the prize.His face was reddish, and he was a bit stage frightened. Although Shen You, who was standing beside him at this time, was silent, he had a very strong sense of presence. He could almost feel his body temperature passing through the air, burning inch by inch. his skin.

"Good job!" Shen You said to Zuo Yu on the way back.In the end, Zuo Yu was selected as the seafood chef for the birthday banquet, and it was also agreed that he would live in Shen’s residence two days before the birthday banquet, and work with the rest of the chefs to complete 28 tables on the birthday banquet, a total of [-]. people's dinner.

Although Francois lost, Shen Bochang also affirmed his culinary skills, and proposed to invite him to be a consultant for the French restaurant Shen's new investment.So even though he lost to Zuo Yu, he didn't want to jump his feet. He just told Zuo Yu to try again next time, and happily talked with Shen's father about his new job.

In the end, only Shen Xun was the one who was most unhappy with the results of this competition. He glared at Shen You, not daring to get angry because of his father's presence, but it obviously laid a good reason for him to trouble Shen You next time .

"That Shen Xun, will he trouble you again?" Shen Xiu forced Ding Shang to stay in Shen's mansion under the pretext of designing menus, so now there are only Shen You and Zuo Yu in the car.

"Worried about me?" Shen You smiled, he just said it casually, and even kept his eyes on the road instead of looking at Zuo Yu.

But Zuo Yu's face turned hot, and he turned away hastily, "No, I just think he's not very friendly to you." Shen Xun flirted with Shen You as soon as he appeared, obviously the two had a long-standing grudge.

"Don't pay attention to that bastard, he just needs a beating." Shen You said, "Tell me about you, you are so young that you are so good at cooking, when did you start learning?"

"It's not much." Zuo Yu whispered, his face turned even redder, and he kept staring at his tangled fingers, "My master is really good, so I've only learned three or four levels."

"Hey, the Michelin-starred chef can be settled on the third or fourth floor?" Shen You said, "Then I have to find a chance to meet your master."

"Are you going to give the betrothal gift?" Zuo Yu muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Shen You didn't hear clearly, turned his head to look at Zuo Yu, and found that he had almost sunk under the chair, "Sit down, are you too tired? Put the back of the chair down and lie down." For a bar!"

Zuo Yu snorted twice, not sure if it was true, luckily Shen You didn't hear what he blurted out just now, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself!

Zuo Yu didn't want to just give up the opportunity to chat with Shen You, so he turned his head and brought the topic to Ding Shang again, "Does our boss know Mr. Shen?"

When it comes to gossip about his elder brother, Shen You gets excited.He always spread stories, but when he thought about it, Zuo Yu and Ding Shang knew each other!Moreover, I am also familiar with him, Zuo Yu is not someone who can tell tales.So, no matter how I think about it, I feel that this white, tender, innocent and cute kid is a good target for gossip.

After listening to Shen You's vivid description, Zuo Yu asked in surprise, "Boss Shen likes men?" I heard that this hobby can be inherited, so would Shen You also like men?

"It's hard to say, he hasn't dated anyone else." Shen You thought for a while and said.

"Boss Shen has been single for so many years?" Zuo Yu asked.

Shen You nodded, the elder brother is not only single, he has not even found a bed partner, so he is almost a monk!In the words of a certain president of the Kimchi Country, he is married to the Shen Group, and he is absolutely dedicated.

Zuo Yu felt that in such an atmosphere of gossip, if he talked to Shen Youba about his personal problems, wouldn't it be too abrupt?

Confused in his heart, the car sped past on the high speed and soon reached the exit.Not far away would be where he lived, Zuo Yu was a little nervous, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"I heard that many brothers are the opposite in this regard. If Mr. Shen has been single for so many years, have you had many, uh... girlfriends?" Zuo Yu's heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he kept pressing Enduring the desire to take a deep breath, when I said this, I felt like I was floating on the tip of the cloud, without any sense of reality.

I asked?I actually asked!Zuo Yu screamed in his heart.

"What are you thinking, do I look like this person?" Shen You thought Zuo Yu was teasing him, and stroked his hair casually.

"No, no, I just think you're pretty handsome, so there must be a lot of people chasing you, right?" Anyway, I've already asked, and it's not bad, so Zuo Yu simply mustered up his courage and went ahead, determined to do it today. Find out the relationship status of the male god!

"Hehe, there must be something I like!" Shen You chuckled lightly.

"Then what type do you like?" Zuo Yu probed, and kept sneaking glances at Shen You's expression while talking.

Shen You didn't speak for a while, Zuo Yu was a little nervous, he seemed to be thinking.It seemed like only two or three seconds had passed, but Zuo Yu felt that he had waited from summer to winter, and then Shen You finally said, "I think you're pretty good like this."
