"Sister Jing, I found another helper..."
The call was quickly connected, and Lin Xu told Zhuang Yizhou everything about his desire to change jobs and come to Linji.
After listening carefully, Dou Wenjing asked:
"He said he wanted to take advantage of your popularity to do a live broadcast, right?"
"Yes!"
"Let's do this. You push my WeChat business card over and ask him to add me. I'll communicate with Mr. Chen and discuss the specific treatment issues with him. Mr. Chen is with you, right?"
Lin Xu glanced at his sister-in-law who was grabbing orange steamed eggs with Baby Shen in the box, and said with a smile:
"Well, I'm just here grabbing food from Yueyue."
He didn't react until he hung up the phone.
The store is recruiting a chef, what should Sister Jing communicate with her sister-in-law?
Is it possible for Zhuang Yizhou to sign both sides?
In this case, does Zhuang Yizhou get exploited on his way to and from get off work?
Take your mobile phone and come to the box.
Senior brother Xie Baomin is introducing the signature dish of Building 1 - braised pork with his father Lin Hongqi and father-in-law Shen Guofu:
"These are free-range Tibetan pigs. The meat is tender and the smell is less fishy than ordinary pork. It also has a slight sweetness, which is much stronger than black mountain pigs and the like."
"Really?"
Shen Guofu picked up a pig's trotter, put it in a bowl, and said with a smile:
"This pig's trotters are not much bigger than the chicken paws made by Xiaoxu."
He tasted it and then said to Lin Hongqi:
"Oh, this tastes really good. Brother Lin, please try it quickly. It's delicious."
Lin Hongqi tasted it.
I think this pork is delicious.
It is much more tender than ordinary pork and tastes quite fragrant.
Lin Xu sat down, held a bowl of rice and started eating.
While eating, He Baoqing came to the box carrying a plate with a lid:
"I didn't know that Master Lin's elders are here. It's really rude. I just made a stir-fried pork chop in the back kitchen and asked a few distinguished guests to check it."
Xie Baomin quickly introduced:
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Shen, this is He Baoqing, the executive chef of Building 1, my good friend."
Upon hearing that it was the executive chef of Building 1 who had come to deliver the food in person, Shen Guofu and Lin Hongqi immediately filled up the glasses of wine and toasted He Baoqing.
These chefs are elders in the catering industry and will become Lin Xu’s connections and helpers in the future. As Lin Xu’s elders, they must show enough respect.
He Baoqing had a glass of wine with him, then drank another glass in return, then said goodbye and left the private room.
Well, a whole family is having a meal, so as an outsider, you have to evacuate.
Wait until he leaves.
Xie Baomin started talking about the engagement party tomorrow.
"I arranged it in Building 10. There is a giant table there, which is said to seat fifty-six people. In fact, if it is crowded, seventy people can also sit down."
When he heard about such a big table, Shen Guofu, who always pursues big things, immediately agreed:
"Okay, let's book this table. Tomorrow all our relatives and friends will sit at the same table and have a happy reunion."
Xie Baomin took a bite of the fried pork chop and then said:
"In terms of food, a dragon has just arrived in Building 1 in the early morning. This is the main dish we will eat. In addition, there will also be some special dishes in Building 10."
Shen Guofu became excited as soon as he heard the word "龙踸":
"Okay, let's eat dragon scallops. I haven't had them in two years. I'm so scared... Chef Xie, although we are a family, you can figure out how to calculate the money."<
/p>
Xie Baomin quickly waved his hand:
"My master transferred hundreds of thousands to me this morning and asked me to arrange this matter. He has taken care of the drinks and catering for the engagement banquet, and I can't even interfere."
This...
Lin Hongqi and Shen Guofu looked at each other.
Is it inappropriate for our two families to get engaged and your master to pay for it?
Lin Xu picked up the phone and sent a message to Master:
"Thank you, Master!"
Uncle Gao quickly replied with a message:
"Thank you for everything. Winning the championship this afternoon is the best thank you to me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely get it!"
For today's game, my parents came all the way here, my father-in-law and mother-in-law specially asked for leave, Shen Baobao never left, my senior brother was busy, and my master was still thinking about me thousands of miles away.
Under such circumstances, how dare I not win a championship!
"I found that the meat on the fragrant pig's butt is very delicious. It's fat but not greasy. Sister Yue, please try it. It's very delicious."
When we came to the private room to eat, Geng Lele also followed.
At this moment, she was eating a piece of meat from the buttocks of the fragrant pig, and she was amazed.
Lin Xu put away his thoughts and said with a smile:
"It's the second cut meat part of the pig. The fat is not greasy, and the lean meat is not sticky. It is very suitable for making twice-cooked pork and garlic white meat."
Shen Jiayue wanted to eat these two dishes as soon as she heard about them:
"Then what will you do?"
Lin Xu smiled:
"Come on, I'll learn it when Wei Qian goes to work in the store."
Wei Gan is good at making various pork dishes.
Lin Xu has already planned to purchase all pig-related dishes from Wei Gan.
Everyone was eating and chatting.
When it was almost over, the front desk manager presented another cup of stewed bird's nest. Han Shuzhen was so happy that she took Shen Guofu's share as well.
Lin Xu didn't have much interest in this kind of delicacies, so he gave his share to his mother.
He didn't care whether this thing could supplement collagen, but his mother was obviously very happy after getting it, and that was enough.
After meal.
After hearing Lin Hongqi say that he had never seen a dragon, Xie Baomin immediately wanted to take him to the aquatic product area in Building 1.
It happened that Shen Guofu also wanted to see the size of the dragon, so everyone followed him.
As soon as he walked out of the private room, Lin Xu met Zhuang Yizhou after finishing his meal.
Different from the gloomy state before the meal, Zhuang Yizhou's face was filled with a happy smile at this time. After seeing Lin Xu, he went around to say hello:
"Boss, Mr. Dou and I have already made an agreement. We will go to work when the store is decorated. Then you can see my performance!"
Lin Xu: "..."
Did Sister Jing give him some kind of chicken blood injection?
After Zhuang Yizhou walked away, he sent a message to Dou Wenjing to ask about the conversation.
"I gave him an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, plus bonuses. I also promised him that as long as he passed the probation period, he would be able to sign with Mr. Chen's Happy Media and receive key packaging promotions from the company. He agreed."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This...
Originally, Zhuang Yizhou's annual salary was 360,000, but you're going to cut it off by 60,000.
And what I got in exchange for the 60,000 yuan was actually just a word from my sister-in-law.
Sister, if netizens know about this, they will call you a capitalist!
After two comments.
Lin Xu put away his mobile phone and followed Xie Baomin with his whole family to the negative floor of Building 1, where their aquatic product area is.
After passing through the long open water area, everyone came to the sea area and saw the giant grouper swimming around in the giant aquarium.
"Ouch, this head is really big. Thank you for taking the trouble, Master."
Shen Guofu was so happy.
I took a few photos facing the aquarium.
After taking the photo, I sent it to Moments:
"What do you think of the main dish at your daughter's engagement party tomorrow?"
There are many foodies in his circle of friends.
As soon as it was posted, many people commented:
"Where is the engagement party, Lao Shen? I grew up watching Yueyue, so tomorrow I will have to follow my family."
"Add me, how can I be left out of this kind of thing?"
"I was praising your son-in-law's craftsmanship to my friends. I have to give him a big red envelope tomorrow."
"..."
Shen Guofu happily replied to the message.
On the other side, Dundun immediately jumped out of Han Shuzhen's arms when she saw the fish.
It hunched over and came to the front of the aquarium, its fur blowing out, and it let out a series of low growls, as if it had seen prey.
I was completely unaware of the fact that the fish was bigger than its body when it opened its mouth.
Lin Xu smiled and saw the little guy in his arms, and said with a smile:
"They swallowed you up with just one mouthful, and you're still provoking me here... Let's eat it at noon tomorrow and let you eat a few more pieces of meat, okay?"
Only then did Dundun become more honest.
"This little guy is really like a child, he has to be coaxed."
Chen Meijuan took Dundun from Lin Xu's arms and held her in her arms.
Well, after grandma hugged me for so long, it’s time for grandma to have fun hugging me.
We walked around the aquatic area and saw small groupers of several colors, swimming crabs bigger than a palm, and large lobsters and shrimps as thick as an arm.
Everyone who had just eaten seemed a little hungry again.
One fifty in the afternoon.
The group returned to the banquet hall.
"You have to come on, duck!"
Shen Baobao gave Lin Xu a loving hug and hoped that he could win the championship smoothly.
Chen Yan curled her lips in disgust:
"Eh, disgusting!"
Just when she was about to mock her sister and brother-in-law again, Shen Baobao said to her:
"Cousin, I'm getting engaged tomorrow, so you have to prepare a big red envelope for me, otherwise I will ask them to introduce you to your partner in front of my whole family and friends tomorrow."
Chen Yan: "..."
How is this different from a public execution?
Ahhhhhhhhhh, you damn girl, why are you so bad?
She wanted to say she wouldn't come tomorrow, but when she thought of the fat and big dragon in the fishery area, she gave up the idea.
Well, just give red envelopes.
Just treat it as paying for the meal.
I won’t eat anymore from this afternoon. I’ll eat as much as I can at noon tomorrow. After I’m done, I’ll pack up a few portions and take them back to try to get my share of the money back!
Back to the game.
Guo Xinghai is playing with his mobile phone in the rest area.
After seeing Lin Xu, he smiled and said:
"I'm powerless, and it's up to you..."
Lin Xu said:
"Don't keep thinking about the judges and scores. Cooking is not only about pleasing others, but the most important thing is to please yourself and make yourself happy."
When he first opened the store, Lin Xu only thought about making money, but as he learned more about cooking, he became more and more interested in cooking.
When I stop at the stove, even if I don’t do anything, I feel like I control the whole world.
"Let yourself be happy?"
Guo Xinghai chewed on Lin Xu's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was correct.
In today's competition, from the first round to now, he has been thinking about the score and how the judges will score.
Although it was done carefully, the entire cooking process was based on pleasing the judges.
Do the judges like the heat?
Will the score be higher if it is more tender?
Is it better to cut ginger into shreds than to mince it?
I keep thinking about these things in my mind, causing me to lose myself.
Lin Xu regarded the judges as his diners.
While making Yangzhou fried rice, he took a look at the figures of the judges.
Oh, I usually have quite a lot of oil and water in my meals, so add some lard to make your meal more enjoyable.
"I understand, thank you Lin Xu."
Guo Xinghai thanked Lin Xu seriously, feeling like he could see the sun through the clouds.
Not long after.
Huo Yifan and Zhuang Yizhou also came.
Zhuang Yizhou is relatively relaxed now because he has a new job:
"It will be difficult to do this round later because the judges have just eaten. Unlike before the meal, they are hungry and everything they eat tastes delicious."
Huo Yifan nodded:
"Let's see what the judges ask for. Try to make some refreshing dishes."
Soon, the well-fed and drunk judges filed in.
The staff brought in new shelves with various ingredients placed on them, including whole Jinhua hams, soup stock, large intestines, tofu, etc.
It’s the last round of competition.
The supply of ingredients is also open.
Liu Zhengyu took the microphone and said to Lin Xu and the four of them:
"The next thing to be held is the semifinals competition, which is the last round of competition. There are no requirements for this round. You just need to make a dish within three hours. Let's get started, boys."
So simple?
Netizens and the audience who were still guessing what the requirements of this round of competition would be were all a little unresponsive.
But Lin Xu and the four of them didn't have any relaxed expressions.
Because the higher the degree of freedom, the greater the variables.
At the advisory table.
Xie Baomin said with a smile:
"The questions in today's competition are really tricky. Each of the previous rounds is a proposition, and there are various restrictions. In the last round, the degree of freedom is suddenly released, and the players may not be able to adapt immediately."
Dai Jianli from behind asked:
"Lao Xie, what do you think Lin Xu might be doing?"
Xie Baomin took a sip of tea:
"It's really hard to say this. We didn't mention it at all during the meal."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Qiu Zhenhua asked:
"Can you make water hibiscus?"
As soon as Xie Baomin said it was impossible, he saw his junior brother take away a pot of soup stock on the shelf, and also took away a large package of chicken breasts and a box of eggs.
This...
Junior brother, are you really planning to make Qingshui Hibiscus?
But he only saw it once!
Isn’t it a genius to learn how to make clear water hibiscus in one go?
Even though Xie Baomin had already seen Lin Xu's genius, he still found it unbelievable.
"These are the ingredients for making Qingshui Furong, right? Lao Xie, you really secretly taught your junior brother... As soon as Qingshui Furong came out, the result of the competition is self-evident."
Such a perfect and beautiful dish.
Every time it is made, the foreign dignitaries dining in Building 2 are amazed. The wives of the heads of state even take photos with this dish.
After Lin Xu picked out the ingredients.
Huo Yifan took away the Jinhua ham, and also took away the lotus seeds and rock sugar.
"It seems that Huo Yifan is going to make Honey Sauce Fire Recipe. This is his father Huo Yuanchao's signature dish. I wonder if he can get some of his father's authentic recipes."
Guo Weidong sighed, and then saw his nephew holding a kitchen knife and cutting off the large intestine head of all the fat intestines. He immediately understood what his nephew was thinking:
"This is to make a nine-turn large intestine. It's pretty good. If I didn't have the clear water hibiscus, I might be able to compete with Huo Yifan's honey fire recipe."
The final choice was Zhuang Yifan.
He took a box of lactone tofu, a small piece of ham, fresh bamboo shoots and other ingredients.
This is...
"You don't know how to make Wensi tofu, do you?"
Xie Baomin saw it and said:
"This kid is probably ready to give up, so he chose Wensi Tofu."
Wensi Tofu is a well-known dish and sells well, but compared to Honey Sauce Hot Fang or Nine Turns Large Intestine, it is more than one rank lower, and it is not even as difficult as the chickpea pudding he made last time.
Offstage.
The head chef in charge of leading the team at Yanjing Hotel sighed lightly.
There is a high probability that the third place cannot be saved.
Originally, everyone wanted to push down the Diaoyutai with great vigor.
But I didn't expect it would be such a result.
When planning this event, the managers of these foreign-related hotels planned to organize a competition for the middle-aged group after winning against Diaoyutai, completely knocking Diaoyutai off the altar.
But now, young chefs are being beaten by each other.
If it were a middle-aged chef, he would probably be beaten even worse. After all, the eighteen head chefs of Diaoyutai are famous and it is not easy to surpass them.
Thought of this.
The head chef quit the WeChat group called [Besieging Guangmingding].
In the audience.
Both Lin Xu’s family and fans are very curious about what Lin Xu plans to do.
"The ingredients he chose are exactly the same as those used by Zhuang Yizhou** tofu pudding. Are you going to make them again?"
Lu Lu asked curiously.
Zhu Yong handed her a cup of lemon tea and then said:
"No way, Boss Lin is not as stupid as you."
As soon as Lu Lu looked up, Zhu Yong immediately felt the murderous look in her eyes and said quickly:
"This cup of lemon tea costs 399 a cup and is specially provided in-house."
Well, he was afraid that Lin Daiyu, who could pull up weeping willows, would splash it on his face.
When Lu Lu heard the price, he quickly took a bite:
"Wow, it tastes delicious."
After saying that, she transferred 400 yuan to Zhu Yong on WeChat.
Tea money is 399, and the rest is for running errands.
Originally she would have given more, after all, this tea cannot be bought with money outside.
But this guy's words turned the errand fee into a dollar.
While drinking delicious lemon tea, Lu Lu asked:
"What do you think Boss Lin can cook?"
"It's hard to tell. I can only tell that it's a clear soup dish, because the steps he takes next are exactly the same as boiling water for cabbage."
Lu Zhishen, who was sitting next to him, heard the two chatting.
Sigh silently.
Changed his online nickname from [Zhishen Burial Flower] to [Monk’s Mercy and Mercy].
From today on, leave the world, cut off the world of mortals, and become a free person.
When I was thinking about it.
A girl next to him touched him:
"Handsome guy, I have created a fan group for Linji Food. Can you scan the QR code to add me?"
The girl's sweet smile made Lu Zhishen's heart, which had been dead for a second, jump again...
Damn your compassion, I will return to secular life!
"Yueyue, what are you doing, brother-in-law?"
"I don't know. He seems to have never cooked such a complicated dish before, but he said that if he wants to win the championship, he will definitely win it. I believe him."
Chen Yan knew that her brother-in-law was not lying.
But one of them is going to make nine-turn large intestine, and the other one is going to make honey fire recipe.
Ordinary dishes can't compete with these two dishes. I hope my brother-in-law won't overdo it.
The company has now prepared the celebration video for Lin Xu’s victory, and is just waiting to release it when Lin Xu wins the championship.
If you don't win the championship in the end, your work will be in vain.
Shen Jiayue thought for a while and sent a message to senior brother Xie Baomin on WeChat:
"Brother, senior brother, what is Xu Bao going to cook? Will he fail to win the championship?"
Soon, Xie Baomin replied with a message:
"What he wants to make should be my master's original Qingshui Hibiscus. The dish my master created when he was trying to please his first wife. It's super beautiful. Get ready to celebrate winning the championship!"
Clear water hibiscus?
Master’s original dish to please his wife?
Super beautiful?
Seeing this news, Shen Baobao's heart suddenly felt ripples.
Master is already trying to please his wife.
Then Xu Bao, can you also please me?
I'm so proactive, why don't you try to please me?
In front of the stove.
Lin Xu, who was removing the fascia from the chicken breast, looked back at his baby Shen.
From the first time my mother came here to now, I have always owed this girl a confession. How about taking advantage of today's atmosphere and make up for this ceremony.
We are getting engaged tomorrow.
We cannot let Baby Shen feel regretful.
Thought of this.
He plans to make this clear water hibiscus dish a little more innovative...
————————
There have been readers complaining about confession before, so I’ll make up for it in the next chapter. I feel that after some feelings come naturally, there is no need to go through a step-by-step ritual to confess.
Take me for example. In 2018, I was chatting in a book club group and met a girl. After chatting for a few days, I said let’s get married. She said yes and she brought her household registration book with her the next day.
I drove hundreds of kilometers to my hometown to register my marriage, with no betrothal gift and no three gold coins. It has been like this until now, and I have two cats...
I don’t like the sense of ritual, so I unconsciously brought it into the book... It’s a bit long. This chapter has 5,600 words. Please vote for me, brothers!
This chapter has been completed!
