The sudden change stunned everyone in the banquet hall.
All of this is such a coincidence, as coincident as the plot of "Death is Coming".
The few people who were originally sitting closest to the stage, ready to attack at any time, are now wet, some have their pants torn, and some have burned their hands and faces.
That miserable and embarrassed look was like stealing an apple and being chased for two miles by a wolf dog.
"Don't be stunned, help the person up quickly... Where is the security? Let the people from the security department come over to help."
Others can see the joke and laugh regardless of the image.
But Gou Junguo cannot do that. He is from Yanjing Hotel, so it is somewhat inappropriate to laugh at this time.
The staff of the banquet hall gathered around to help the unlucky ones. Lin Xu looked at Dai Jianli who was laughing so hard that tears came out and asked:
"Who are these people?"
"A few of Old Man Meng's younger brothers have average craftsmanship. In the early years, they went to eat and drink every day, so they became minor celebrities in the circle. They ate and drank under the name of master all day long... If something like this happens today, it is probably not good.
Will come to Yanjing Hotel again."
After saying that, Dai Jianli took out his mobile phone and started recording those people.
Recording and moving forward:
"Don't block the camera, let me take a good video of these red trousers. If a grown-up man wears bright red, it's you who are the coolest."
It would be easy if no one mentioned this matter, but when Lao Dai opened his mouth, these people were not only embarrassed, but also became embarrassed.
Especially the man on the ground, enduring the severe pain in his head, desperately pulling on his pants in an attempt to cover the red pants underneath.
But that pair of pants has now not only turned into crotchless pants, but the entire trouser leg has also been cut open. The more you cover it up, the more it is exposed.
Seeing that Lao Dai was eager to put his phone to his face to take pictures, he was about to curse a few words when he suddenly saw Song Dahai lifting a solid wood chair with one hand and coming over to sit down and look at it. He immediately took back the curse words.
Diaoyutai people really don’t follow any rules.
He struggled to get up from the ground, held up his ripped pants, and strode outside.
I don’t want to stay in this place any longer.
Although the other people did not escape in panic, their clothes were all wet and they needed to find a place to deal with them.
They had just chosen the most suitable position to attack, and while drinking tea, they had a lot of things to say to find fault. However, at this time, these words were thrown out of the sky.
Xie Baomin sat down next to Lin Xu and said with a smile:
"I wanted to scold my younger siblings, but since this is the case, let's forget it... Lao Dai, remember to edit the video and upload it online so that netizens can also appreciate the style of the red trousers."
Lin Xu said:
"By the way, senior brother, just before I entered, Chef Qi came to me and said that the master's side was still persecuting him. After I asked everyone to arrive, I announced that I would leave the master's sect and set up my own business. I will give you a few words of support later."
"Is there such a good thing? That's great, I'll tell you about it right now."
Xie Baomin talked about this in the group.
While we were chatting, several security guards brought a stove with a gas tank on a trolley, followed by matching range hoods and other equipment.
Not long after, even the stove, workbench, faucet and eucalyptus board were all ready.
Shen Baobao asked curiously:
"What is this for?"
Lin Xu looked at the battle and said to her:
"I'm probably preparing to show off my cooking skills. After all, it's an apprenticeship ceremony in the cooking circle. It's normal to show off your skills by frying one or two dishes. None of the chefs here today have bad cooking skills. Let's wait and see something delicious."
Xie Baomin shook his head:
"There is no such part in the apprenticeship process. After the ceremony, we have a meal. There is no other process... This must be someone who wants to add drama. Just wait and see Lao Cheng slap him in the face. His cooking skills are top-notch in the second echelon of Diaoyutai. Generally speaking,
The dishes are really delicious.”
The first echelon of people in Diaoyutai’s culinary scene are the executive chefs on each floor. They are the small group of people with the best cooking skills.
The second echelon is the head chef in each building who is responsible for daily business.
After the stove was installed, people came to watch the ceremony one after another. They were basically the chief chefs of various foreign-related hotels and retired celebrities in the industry.
"Hey, Lin Xu, are you here too?"
Huo Yifan and his father Huo Yuanchao from the Summer Palace just arrived at the banquet hall. When they saw Lin Xu, they strode over to say hello.
"I can't do anything about Diaoyutai... let's have lunch together, just in time to give our chef some advice."
"For your kitchen?"
Huo Yifan was stunned:
"What do you mean, you came to work at Yanjing Hotel?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"I am now the director of the catering department of Yanjing Hotel, part-time."
Huo Yifan has been working hard in the kitchen recently to practice cooking, and he is looking forward to having a chance to compete with Lin Xu in the future.
But I didn’t expect that after not seeing each other for a few months, this former rival would actually switch to management and become the catering director of Yanjing Hotel.
He sat down and asked quietly:
"How did you become the director? Does your family have any background in Tongtian?"
Lin Xu smiled bitterly:
"You are really deaf to what's going on outside the window. You haven't heard about such a big thing happening at the Yanjing Hotel recently?"
"No, tell me quickly."
Lin Xu told the whole story about joining Yanjing Hotel and the kitchen, and Huo Yifan slapped his thigh:
"Damn, why didn't anyone tell me such an exciting thing? Are you and Yizhou Xinghai in a group? Pull me in. Remember to tell me if anything like this happens in the future."
Group?
Lin Xu has joined many groups, but the most active and gossipy one is [Linji Food High-end VIP Customer Group]. Thinking that everyone is familiar with Huo Yifan, he added him to the group.
As soon as Huo Yifan entered the group, Wei Qian immediately shouted:
"Welcome newcomers, report your measurements and weight!"
Huo Yifan: "..."
Do you still have this kind of hobby?
He casually sent a red envelope to the group, said hello to everyone, then put down his phone and continued to lament the incident at Yanjing Hotel:
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Meng was such a person. My father and I visited his home during the Spring Festival, and he wanted to adopt me as his godson..."
Lin Xu asked:
"You agree?"
"No! I already have enough grandchildren in my daily life. Why don't you have multiple grandsons out of thin air? When I left their house, my dad praised me for doing the right thing and said that I was not the same person as them. I didn't understand what he meant at the time, but now After hearing what you said, I realized that we are indeed not from the same place."
Shen Baobao asked with some confusion:
"Why should I visit if I'm not from the same place?"
Xie Baomin, who had been silent next to him, smiled:
"This is the helplessness of adults. Although I am terribly upset, some walking is necessary. Even I have to visit many houses with gifts every Spring Festival... By the way, junior brother, where will I celebrate the Spring Festival this year? ?"
Lin Xu took a sip of the jasmine tea on the table:
"Yueyue and I had a wedding two years ago. After the wedding, we went back to Yinzhou. We have to hold another banquet there and will come back after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."
"It's good, you can hide and be quiet."
When the time comes, I will tell my parents-in-law that we will go to the mountains to celebrate the New Year together, and we will also pick up Mrs. Shen. The two families will be very lively.
As for business, the company and Ziqiang Shengjian are all on holiday, but the stores are open as usual.
Then Wei Qian and Shu Yun will need to worry more.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, all the guests had basically arrived, and Guo Jichang also walked in surrounded by Guo Weidong, Guo Xinghai and others.
Cheng Jianshe, who was greeting a familiar chef, quickly walked over to help him.
"Are you all ready, Xiao Cheng?"
"Ready."
"Then...let's begin!"
Now that everyone has arrived, it's time to start the group... Oh no, it's time to start the apprenticeship ceremony.
Liao Jinming came to the stage with a microphone and announced the official start of the ceremony like a master of ceremonies.
"Why are Director Liao here?"
"Isn't this too grand? The director of Diaoyutai's catering department will be the master of ceremonies himself."
“It’s really a great honor.”
"The ceremony of becoming a chef with Chef Cheng is really fulfilling."
Everyone was surprised by Liao Jinming's appearance. Only the people in Diaoyutai knew that the reason why Director Liao was willing to be the master of ceremonies had nothing to do with honor.
This old boy just wants to watch the excitement up close.
I don’t know whether it was because he was the master of ceremonies, or because Qi Zhentao’s uncles were ran away by Dun Dun and they lost their team starters. Qi Zhentao’s uncles and the senior masters who had some disagreements didn’t say anything, as if they just came to follow suit.
It’s like waiting for a meal.
Lin Xu curiously asked Xie Baomin:
"Brother, logically speaking, shouldn't they stand up and interfere now?"
"But they are in trouble. This is a apprenticeship ceremony, not an inauguration ceremony at Yanjing Hotel. If they dare to gibber, Mr. Guo will hit them on the head with a cane..."
No booing is allowed during the apprenticeship ceremony.
Because the master and the apprentice are in love with each other, others have no right to interfere.
The ceremony went smoothly. When Cheng Jianshe knelt down in front of Guo Jichang with a tea cup and offered tea, the people in the audience applauded in unison.
The applause from Diaoyutai is because they are happy for Cheng Jianshe.
The other party's applause means...the lengthy forward swing is finally over, and we can finally start a group attack happily.
Shen Baobao yawned secretly, tilted his head and rested it on Lin Xu's shoulder and whispered:
"It's a bit boring. I don't have any intention to quarrel."
Lin Xu smiled:
"Just wait patiently. Even if they don't quarrel, I can make them quarrel."
If this group of people waited until noon to start the dinner in peace, they would be sorry for Geng Lishan's good intentions.
Since the other party won't start a group, we will take the initiative.
Master once said: The best defense is offense!
In order to cope with their attack, let's launch an attack in advance, in the Ganges River, right?
"The apprenticeship ceremony is officially over. Congratulations to Mr. Guo on getting his beloved apprentice, and congratulations to Chef Cheng on getting his mentor!"
As soon as Liao Jinming finished speaking, Lin Xu stood up with Geng Lishan's calligraphy and strode onto the stage.
"To celebrate Chef Cheng's appointment as a famous chef, Mr. Tateyama asked me to give him a pair of calligraphy treasures. I hope that Mr. Guo and Chef Cheng can carry forward Chinese cooking."
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading. Install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
Liao Jinming was about to come down, but when he heard the calligraphy of Geng Lishan, he immediately said:
"I didn't expect that Mr. Tateyama also gave me a calligraphy treasure. Open it quickly and let everyone take a look!"
Cheng Jianshe also didn't expect to receive Mr. Tateyama's calligraphy. He nodded slightly to Lin Xu and whispered:
"Thank you, Master Lin."
Guo Jichang also stroked his beard, looking interested.
The scroll slowly opened, and the four words "Famous Teacher and Disciple" were displayed in front of everyone.
These four words alone are nothing. The key is that the signature of this scroll actually says that it is presented to Mr. Cheng Jianshe, the executive chef of Yanjing Hotel.
These words suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest.
An old man with a gray beard stood up and said:
"We don't care if you, Guo Jichang, accepts an apprentice, but this title... we don't recognize the position of executive chef, and your apprentice's qualifications are not enough to serve as the executive chef of Yanjing Hotel."
From the time they entered the banquet hall to now, they were just waiting for someone to offer them a construction job.
As long as someone raises it, they can question it.
And then directly deny this matter.
However, as soon as the old man stood up, Dai Jianli laughed:
"You don't admit it? Are you a legal person or a shareholder of Yanjing Hotel? Do you now hold a management position in Yanjing Hotel? Why don't you admit the appointment of the general manager? What qualifications do you have to deny it? Excuse me, this Yanjing Hotel
Is the restaurant owned by your family?"
Oh my god, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I finally got over my addiction.
Lao Dai took a sip of water from his teacup and winked at Lin Xu on the stage, "Brother, I'm so good at assisting. Brother, I immediately entered a fighting state.
This series of words left the other party speechless.
"I...you!"
The old man didn't expect that he had just stood up and before he even started to express himself, he was struck speechless by this counterattack like a storm.
He took a few breaths, tried to calm down, and then said:
"Just because I am an old employee of Yanjing Hotel, I can't just watch Yanjing Hotel jump into the fire pit. Besides, we have so many good chefs in Yanjing Hotel, why should we let people from Diaoyutai come here to serve as the chief chef?"
p>
Lao Dai looked at the old man with surprise.
Oh, I'm so excited.
That’s just right, let’s do it today!
In order to perform better, Dai Jianli stood up from his seat and walked to the stage and said:
"I thought Yanjing Hotel secretly imitated ancient Rome and established a Senate. You are a retired employee, so how do you develop the company? You also said that you have so many good masters, which is very good, so good.
I was sent to prison myself. The losses discovered this time alone have reached one million yuan. Since you have such a strong sense of responsibility, why don’t you take the lead and use your pension to help Yanjing Hotel fill this hole?"
"I..."
The old man opened his mouth, his expression a little dull.
Everyone had done their homework before coming, and they all believed that Xie Baomin was more difficult to deal with among the middle-aged people in Diaoyutai. As long as he didn't open his mouth, others wouldn't have anything to worry about.
As a result, Xie Baomin was drinking tea leisurely, but this unknown guy was very powerful.
Don’t talk about yourself, even those shrews who are good at quarreling may not always get something cheap.
Seeing the old man looking at him constantly, Dai Jianli put his hands on his hips and took the initiative to introduce himself:
"My surname is Dai and my name is Dai Jianli. I am the executive chef of Building No. 18 in Diaoyutai. If any of you want to take a photo with me later, please remember to line up at the door. I am very approachable, so don't be nervous."
Lin Xu: "..."
Brother, are you here to develop fans?
He handed Geng Lishan's calligraphy for the opening of the group to Cheng Jianshe, then walked off the stage and returned to his seat to eat melon and watch the show.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, another old man stood up:
"No matter what happens to the Yanjing Hotel, it is still the Yanjing Hotel's own business, and you Diaoyutai have no right to take care of it."
Just as Dai Jianli was about to speak, Qiu Zhenhua pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and stood up:
"Recruitment is normal. The leadership can hire people if they think they are suitable. Did you contract the kitchen of Yanjing Hotel or something? When did the kitchen become your private territory? If I remember correctly, you were a few years before your retirement.
Can I ask someone to be transferred from the Great Wall Hotel to the Yanjing Hotel to serve as the ordering chef? If we are not qualified to take care of it, you from the Great Wall Hotel are not qualified to point fingers here."
Damn it, I usually get so angry after being thanked for protecting the people, so I took this opportunity to let it out today.
Lin Xu grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the dry fruit plate on the table and ate them while watching the excitement.
"Brother, why didn't you come?"
"Let Qiu Qiu and the others vent their anger. They are almost depressed after being bullied by me all day long."
Xie Baomin had a high-spirited tone, as if he had made great sacrifices to give this opportunity to other chefs.
Huo Yifan glanced at the two warring parties and asked curiously:
"On the other side, all the elderly people are talking, here are the middle-aged chefs, and the middle-aged chef over there looks like he doesn't want to participate?"
Xie Baomin whispered:
"Because they know that we don't beat the elderly or bully children, but we are not polite at all to our peers."
We didn’t get the chance to bully our peers in the last cooking competition, so everyone was simmering with anger.
As long as they dare to speak, they will immediately swarm here.
Things got interesting. The middle-aged generation in Diaoyutai were quarreling with the older generation in Yanjing Hotel, while the retired masters in Diaoyutai looked completely aloof.
How to improve your status in the world?
Let the opponents compete with their own children and nephews, and their status will naturally be highlighted.
While they were arguing, Qi Zhentao’s uncle also discovered this problem.
Good guys, we were quarreling with a group of middle-aged people, but you old men were watching the fun from above, right?
He stood up and looked at Cheng Jianshe and said:
"Master Cheng, since even Mr. Lishan admits that you and Master Guo are famous teachers and disciples, in this case, I would like to ask Master Cheng to make a Cantonese dish to try his skills. Master Guo is the master of Cantonese cuisine, and as his apprentice, you will be able to cook Cantonese cuisine."
The craftsmanship shouldn’t be bad, right?”
He is a thief. He just asked Cheng Jianshe to cook Cantonese cuisine as soon as he became a teacher today.
If you don't do it well, you can criticize it and you don't deserve the title of disciple.
If you can do it well, then do it. Anyway, things are already like this. Retirees like myself can't change anything. I came here today just to have a quarrel.
The reason why Cheng Jianshe was asked to cook Cantonese cuisine was because he had investigated that Building 2, where Cheng Jianshe worked before, basically had no Cantonese cuisine and mainly focused on northern cuisine.
So suddenly asking him to cook Cantonese cuisine must be a big challenge.
However, Cheng Jianshe was happy, and so were the other head chefs at Diaoyutai.
Diaoyutai Building No. 2 is the place with the most banned dishes in Diaoyutai. You only see that Building No. 2 sells northern home-cooked dishes, but you don’t know that they have a thick book of prohibited dishes.
Since you asked me to do it, let me show you the cooking technique at full power!
Cheng Jianshe did not refuse, but handed the scroll in his hands to Guo Jichang:
"Please also ask Master to keep it safe for the apprentice, and take a look at the apprentice's skills in cooking Cantonese cuisine."
Guo Jichang nodded and asked curiously:
"Xiao Cheng, what are you going to cook?"
Cheng Jianshe turned his face and looked at the group of old masters who were looking for trouble, and said word by word:
“Dry fried beef river!”
