Demon in the world

The next day, Ah Jiu went to the kitchen in person, only to find that most of the materials were really wrong.Because it is home-cooked food, many seasonal vegetables are kept in the cold storage. Because no one regularly removes the ice, the food is frozen hard, and even after thawing, it loses its original freshness.

The head chef explained: "We originally had six chefs here, but after the incident happened, the contract expired, and only me and the two newcomers were left. Everyone was not very enthusiastic, and there was a problem with liquidity, and many materials were lost. There is no way to buy it. So knowing that the food is not fresh, I have no choice but to use it up. It would be a pity to throw it away..."

Ah Jiu nodded to express understanding, and crossed out all the dishes on the menu that cannot be made at present, and asked Bian Sanduan to print out new ones.

Start to work with two masters: Soak the tofu in salt water in advance, pick out the big peppers with red skin and thick flesh, add raw onions, scallions and other condiments, chop them up and put them in glass bottles, fresh corn juice, filter and place Keep it in the refrigerator for later use, remove all the tops of the black bean sprouts, and keep the roots in the humid box to grow...

Everyone knows that the success or failure of tonight will be related to the life and death of the entire Qianjia Diet, so no one dares to be idle.

Before Chen Haodong and his gang arrived at night, there was actually no customer in the store, so Bian San gave up his breath and scolded all the waiters who were chatting viciously.

As soon as I finished venting, I saw a large group of people pushing the door in, twice as many as last night.

The leader, Chen Moran, glanced around and didn't see Ah Jiu showing any disappointment, so he asked Bian Sanduan, who was leading the way, "Where was that kid last night? You won't be expelled, right?"

Bian Sanduan felt angry in his heart, but he could only pretend to be polite, "He went to help in the kitchen today."

Chen Moran was surprised: "The kitchen? You actually let him go to that kind of place?"

"Returning to Young Master Chen, Ah Jiu is not a regular employee of the store, but just a temporary helper. The store has no right to restrict any of his candidates."

"Well, it turns out that his name is Ah Jiu. How could he have such a funny name? No wonder he dared to argue with Haodong yesterday. He also knows how to cook."

Chen Haodong stopped suddenly, "Ah Jiu...is his master's name Du Shiwei?"

Bian Sanduan hesitated for a while, and said, "I'm not sure about this, but it seems to be very famous."

"Is he the chef for tonight's dishes?"

"Yes."

Chen Moran bumped his elbow into the person beside him, and asked, "The Du Shiwei you're talking about is the woman from the Du family of Daomen?"

Chen Haodong said: "Who else could there be besides her?"

"Wow, Ah Jiu is actually her apprentice. That should be very powerful, so don't we have a feast tonight? I once ate a dish cooked by his master, just an ordinary char siu pork, that taste... …I really can’t forget it until now, I’m going to drool just thinking about it!”

Chen Haodong raised the corner of his mouth playfully, "That doesn't mean her apprentice will definitely have good cooking skills."

After arriving at the private room, Chen Moran picked up the menu, "Hey, it's different from yesterday's. The dishes have been changed. Haodong, do you want to have a look?"

"Just order it, anyway, as long as it is made by this store, it is the same to me."

"Shouldn't you be so extreme, write this down, and this, two plates of fried tortillas, roast beef with beer and vegetables, one serving of fried dumplings with green tea..."

After ordering, Chen Moran looked around the room and saw that everyone was eating snacks or singing, so he stood up secretly.

Chen Haodong screamed at him, "What are you doing?"

Chen Moran snickered mysteriously: "I'll go to the kitchen to see what the kid is doing now... Do you want to go there together?"

Chen Haodong scoffed coldly, "Boring."

"I don't believe you're not curious." Chen Moran slipped out of the room like a thief.

Under the guidance of the waiter, he quickly found the kitchen. Before entering the door, he saw Ah Jiu bowing his head and chopping vegetables through the glass. His mouth was holding his breath, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he looked serious but people couldn't help it want to laugh.

He knocked through the glass, Ah Jiu immediately raised his face, saw him startled for a moment, then showed a slight smile, and then lowered his head to chop vegetables.

Chen Moran just stood there as if his footsteps were taking root, watching a few people busy in the kitchen without feeling bored at all.

For the first time, he discovered that cooking turned out to be such an interesting sport, and he was deeply fascinated even by the opponent's posture of playing a knife.

And that face...the eyebrows have a very gentle curvature, and the light color seems to have not yet grown into a handsome prototype. own words...

Just when he was in a daze, Ah Jiu came out wiping his hands and looked him up curiously, "Aren't you the guest from yesterday? How did you come here? Did you get lost?"

"what."

Ah Jiu looked around in the corridor, but didn't see the shadow of the waiter, so he said, "Is it the private room from yesterday? I'll take you there."

Chen Moran immediately said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, the route here is very winding, and it is very difficult for outsiders to walk."

"Yeah, I just wanted to get some air, and I didn't know why I came here."

Chen Moran lied without blushing. Looking at Ah Jiu who was walking in front, his fingers suddenly moved and wanted to tear off his hat.

Ah Jiu was unaware of his evil thoughts, and after making a detour, he pointed to the front and said, "Go up from there, and you can find your private room."

Chen Moran immediately turned serious, "Oh, thank you."

Ah Jiu bent his eyes and walked briskly back to the kitchen, Chen Moran almost followed him again, he couldn't help scolding himself in his heart, are you sick, why are you following a demon.

06:30...[-] o'clock...Everyone couldn't help being hungry, and the two plates of spicy cabbage and sour kelp on the table had long since been eaten up.

Chen Moran played with his mobile phone to appease his friend, "What's the hurry, don't be reincarnated like a starving ghost, cooking also takes time. Aren't you guys singing all the time, keep singing."

One person was dissatisfied: "What kind of food takes so long to cook? There are only two tables of us, and we should have finished eating according to the usual serving speed! Is there such a hospitality? I have urged you three times..."

"It's useless to urge you any more." Chen Haodong's face turned blue, "The other party just wants to whet our appetite."

"Then let's go to another one, Seafood City next door, I'll treat you!"

Chen Haoran said: "No, wouldn't it be a waste if someone else's food is served!"

"What a waste, I never paid the bill."

"That's not okay, I can't go anyway."

Everyone looked at Chen Haodong in embarrassment, "Haodong..."

Chen Haodong said calmly, "Wait a little longer."

Using this kind of behavior of hungry customers to reduce customers' fault finding, is Qianjia Diet crazy?Although I didn't come here on an empty stomach, it was really unbearable to go through this long wait.

At the door of the kitchen, Bian Sanduan was very anxious, and asked again after a while, "Ah Jiu, is the food ready? I'm afraid they will smash things if they wait..."

Ah Jiu wiped the plate and said slowly: "Wait another 10 minutes."

"My God!"

Ah Jiu comforted him with a smile, "Brother Bian, don't be in a hurry, they are just here to find fault with our food, they can wait for an hour, they don't care about these few minutes."

When people are extremely hungry, they will not choose what to eat, and their five senses will become extremely dull.Although this trick is a bit unkind, it doesn't matter to customers with ulterior motives, right?What's more, that Chen Haodong also came out of a chef school. I heard that his professional courses are still very good. Based on his respect for the chef's profession, he can refuse to pay the bill if he is not satisfied with the food, but he will never do excessive things for other reasons. A card played by Ah Jiu under balance.

When there was a knock on the door of private room No. [-], everyone fell silent instantly.

The waitress brought the dish with an apologetic smile, then took a step back and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long, the first dish is Stir-Fried Cuiyi."

The appearance of this dish is very ordinary, but it is refreshing, crisp, tender, sweet and delicious. The just right peaceful taste finally appeases everyone's hunger temporarily.

Curiously, Chen Moran picked up the long strips and tasted them, full of praise, "This is delicious, but I don't know what it is." Everyone looked at each other, but none of them could tell.

Chen Haodong said calmly, "It's just watermelon peel."

"Can watermelon rinds be used for stir-frying?"

"Of course." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Haodong picked up his chopsticks and stretched them towards the last piece of green clothes left.

The so-called home-cooked dishes are dishes made with the most popular methods and readily available raw materials. Everyone can cook them, but it is very difficult to make them taste good.

For example, the watermelon rind made from waste is light green in color and sweet in taste. Simply add carrots and fungus and stir-fry it and it can be served out of the pot. However, it is necessary to add salt to season the food according to the sweetness of the food itself, which is very considerate of the chef's taste scale.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Moran asked concerned: "From your professional point of view, how is it?"

Chen Haodong said indifferently: "Not bad."

The second and third courses were served immediately after.

Although the bean sprouts are cultivated in the incubator, they miraculously exude the natural atmosphere of the earth.

The fish tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The dark soy sauce and egg white make the tofu smooth and soft like milk.

The green tea fried dumplings are green in appearance, and the bottom is fried golden brown and crispy by charcoal fire. The pork filling strictly follows the golden ratio of four fat and six thin. The tip of the tongue lingers for a long time.

The sesame sauce rolls have been improved to the size of a beer cap. After biting down, you will find that it is as soft as eating cotton candy.

Chen Haodong tasted every dish, but finally gave up the only dessert, boiled tortillas.

Chen Moran said: "How about it, you are so amazed by the child's craftsmanship that you can't find any faults, right? The ancients have said that a strong teacher will produce a good apprentice... Why don't you try this cornbread?"

Chen Haodong said: "I could smell the sweetness of this dish before I even entered the door. The chef is so addicted to sweetness, yet the sense of taste has not been damaged yet."

Chen Moran immediately took a taste, drank his saliva and went on, "It's really sweet... a layman like me can eat it, but the other dishes are really good."

"What's the best way?"

Chen Moran thought about it with a smile, and said, "Then I can't tell, I just feel comfortable after eating."

Except for the tortilla dish, the seasonings of other dishes are almost the same as they have been measured with a ruler, and they are all in the best comparison.

There are no faults in the fire, knife skills, and cooking techniques, but... the changes in some flavors are really incredible.

For example, the dark soy sauce used for coloring has disappeared inexplicably, the Longjing in green tea fried dumplings seems to have been condensed, and the flour texture of sesame sauce rolls has completely changed... What kind of technology did the chef use to make them produce qualitative changes? Woolen cloth?

Chen Haodong put down his chopsticks quickly, and said to the waiter, "Call your chef over here."

A few minutes later, Ah Jiu appeared in front of him with a smile, "What do you want from me?"

"Excuse me, do you put sugar in kilograms?"

Ah Jiu scratched her head in embarrassment, "Is it too sweet? Sorry, I... will pay attention next time."

"There will be no next time," Chen Haodong stood up, "Let's go."

Ah Jiu asked: "Do you mean that you will never come again?"

Chen Haodong looked at him condescendingly, "You seem very happy that I'm not coming?"

"No," Ah Jiu smiled and bowed, "You are welcome to come anytime!"

Chen Haodong glanced at him, dragged Chen Moran out, and paid the bill before leaving.

Amid the cheers from everyone, Ah Jiu took off his chef's uniform and chased him out, panting to Chen Haodong, "Well, I'm not a chef now, can I have a few words with you?"

"What are you whispering about!"

"Get out," Chen Haodong kicked Chen Mo away, "What do you want to say?"

"Okay, actually I want to say... No matter what grievances you have with Qianjia Diet, that person has already left the shop to go to another place, so let them go? Don't let innocent people bear these faults."

Chen Haodong squinted at him, "So in order to survive, the chef's poor cooking skills can be forgiven by the guests?"

Ah Jiu bit her lower lip, "I didn't mean that, you know, not everyone came from a professional college like you. For ordinary people, their food is already very good, otherwise they wouldn't be in Yudu Based on it for so many years, don't you think?"

"Don't worry, I won't come to Qianjia Restaurant again, let's let this matter go." Chen Haodong looked at him with a weird smile, "But... Ah Jiu. We will meet again soon, in a way and identity that you can't imagine .”

Ah Jiu looked at his back in a daze, and said in her heart that today's affairs have finally been successfully completed, which is great.

He took out his mobile phone, and unexpectedly saw an unread text message from Wen Renchu: Come on.

Hey, my brother posted this in the morning, it seems that he didn't take his own affairs to heart at all.

Ah Jiu turned off the screen and began to reply seriously: Thank you brother, I succeeded, see you later, I can cook for you.

Wen Renchu ​​came out of the bathroom just when he heard the bell ring, but the uninvited guest in the room picked up the phone first and read the content out, emphasizing the pronunciation of the word "brother".

Wen Renchu ​​frowned, "How many times have I told you, don't touch my things casually."

The uninvited guest seriously protested, "Why is the same elder brother treating younger brother so differently?"

Wen Renchu ​​pulled the phone over, "Because you look very annoying."

The uninvited guest looked in the mirror and was depressed by the big dark circles under his eyes, "What can I do, I want to look as white as Ah Jiu, everyone will like it!"

Wen Renchu ​​still didn't have a good impression of him, so he said angrily, "Fu Xin, what's the matter with you coming to my place?"

The face of the person named Fu Xin changed, and he begged plaintively, "Second Brother..., I beg you, let Seventh Brother take him away from me, okay?"

"who?"

"It's that Lu Xiaoman! It's been almost half a month since he placed people in my place. You know how perverted the two of them are. The one they play with every day is called Bloody... I can't live anymore! If you don't care if……"

Wenren Chu raised his eyebrows, "If I don't care what happens, do you dare to stay with me?"

Fu Xin pouted, "Then I don't dare, but...if you don't care, I'll continue to sleep with Brother Jiu. Anyway, I've been following him for several days."
