"Is it your first day hanging out upstairs? After the first time, there will be a second and third time. Once you take the first step, you can't look back."
"Let's just wait and see what happens first and see if there is any movement from him. If not, give him a spot on the popularity list. It's best if we each play our own way and don't interfere with the well."
"It makes sense. Let's take a look first. After all, the price of navy has also increased."
After Li Xiao neatly put on her apron, she started working directly.
Since He Beibei did not restrict his specific work, after all, with the previous guidance, she was quite assured of Li Xiao's level, so when he saw where he was overwhelmed, he rushed to help.
What stunned everyone was that no matter which position he took over, his working speed was no slower than that of the chef who needed help. Even after he worked for a period of time, both his technique and speed were far better than those of the chef who needed help.
Formal chef in need of help.
Some busy chefs didn't feel anything was wrong at first, but slowly found that their work suddenly became easier?
However, when they glanced around the floor-to-ceiling windows, they found that the flow of people had not decreased, and then they realized that there was a super strong man beside them to share the work with them.
It was also about deboning small yellow croakers. After Li Xiao only fumbled four or five small yellow croakers, his deboning speed was actually comparable to that of Zhao Yue, who had been responsible for deboning, and his technique was quite neat.
Seeing how quickly Li Xiao got started, Zhao Yue, a two-star chef, had his eyelids twitching wildly.
He always thought that his method of deboning yellow croaker was unmatched by anyone at the same level. Even some three- and four-star chefs could not surpass him without a period of training.
But now a guy suddenly jumped out and crushed me directly???
Not only were the chefs who worked with Li Xiao deeply shocked, but also the colleagues in the industry who were invited by the squad leader and He Beibei to the tables outside also discovered the clues about the emergence of the back kitchen.
Since the kitchen uses 360-degree glass with no dead corners, everyone can see what happens inside.
When they saw Li Xiao entering with photographic equipment, they attracted their attention.
Although Celebrity Chef Liang Zao has been launched for a long time, some blind spots are still covered up. After all, some steps are still not suitable to be shown in front of the audience.
They didn't know why the guy in front of them actually entered with photography equipment. However, when they saw the guy with the camera actually started to take off his clothes and put on an apron and a work cap, they couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.
, because looking at the posture, it doesn’t look like I’m just going in to shoot, but I’m going to start shooting directly???
The people at the nearby tables were all well-known figures in the industry, some were star chefs at the time, and some were chefs who were too old and had retired from the scene.
They know very well that a qualified kitchen operation is usually perfect.
Only through long-term cooperation and tacit understanding can a team reach its maximum speed and efficiency. Isn't it sheer nonsense to add new people rashly and look like a layman?
It's like there were originally eight people carrying a sedan, but suddenly there was one more person. It seemed like there were more people, but the balance was lost.
In a place with strict division of labor like the kitchen, why do we just add people when we say we want to?
Initially, a few people rated this new restaurant quite highly, because the products, environment, and menu were all quite good.
They are invited to review, and will later publish food reviews on some platforms in their own name or as a group.
I already had a plan in mind and was ready to praise this new high-end restaurant.
However, in the face of an emergency, their approach was to find a layman to come to the rescue? This simply subverted their three views!!
As a result, their inner thoughts were overturned. Some of them with a more rigorous attitude even wanted to stand up and leave. However, considering the background of the owner of this store, they stayed.
When Li Xiao took off his clothes and put on an apron, everyone had already decided that there would definitely be various problems with the subsequent dishes. After all, if a team that worked well together suddenly joined a new person, there would definitely be some improvement.
Influence.
You need to know that even the thickness and length of the dishes will affect the frying in the wok, the speed of stir-frying and the heat.
If someone suddenly changes to cut and match the material, it will not work if the material is cut thicker or thinner.
Because the people who make the wok are already familiar with the thickness and size of the originally cut materials, they will use the original time, heat, stir-fry and season according to their own muscle memory and original habits, so what comes out must be a failure.
.
If your knife skills are poor, there may even be ingredients of different thicknesses and sizes, resulting in some ingredients being old and some ingredients not yet cooked.
However, they were soon slapped in the face by their original ideas.
Seeing that Li Xiao hardly needs any communication, he has integrated into this busy team like Chunyu.
When it comes to cutting and matching, he will help cut and match if he is too busy. Not only is the speed of cutting and matching very fast, but his vision is also extremely vicious.
The star chefs who were relatively close could even see that the ingredients they prepared were almost the same as those prepared by the original chef, whether in thickness or size.
Of course, they only dare to use the ones that are almost the same here. After all, they have not looked closely and there is no way to compare. Otherwise, they will definitely find that they are not almost the same, but exactly the same.
After all, Li Xiao has acquired a lot of chef skills, and he also gained a mastery of Cantonese cuisine not long ago. He is already familiar with most Cantonese dishes. No matter which step is done, Li Xiao is familiar with it. It only requires a short period of time.
He can get started by observing, and besides, he has already eaten this menu three times, which is enough for him to understand the menu clearly.
So he knows very clearly how each material needs to be processed, how each dish needs to be seasoned, how many grams of salt, how many grams of sugar, or how many times of stirring and stir-frying are needed.
, he already knew everything.
Seeing Li Xiao constantly infiltrating the kitchen, industry insiders at several tables around him swallowed their saliva. One of them, an old man with gray hair, gasped and asked a girl next to him in surprise.
"Is this, this man, the head chef of their kitchen?"
"Otherwise, how could this guy cooperate so smoothly with everyone in the kitchen?"
The girl was the old man's life assistant, so she had a certain understanding of the people who came today. She frowned slightly, thought for two seconds, then shook her head and said to the old man.
"According to the list Miss Chang gave us, the person who just entered should be just a food anchor invited by the other party. His main job is to promote food."
"The other party also made a special note on the information he gave him. The live broadcast may be filmed on our side, which may require a certain degree of cooperation from us, so I paid special attention to it."
When the old man heard the words of his life assistant, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He looked at Li Xiao's flowing movements and seemed to be getting more and more skilled, and he showed an interested expression.
Judging from his skills, he must be at least a four-star chef. How come I haven’t heard of his name before? Such a young four-star chef?
"By the way, what's his name?"
The life assistant quickly opened her tablet to check the previous records. After all, a food anchor who helped promote food could not catch her eye.
If such a character had not been specially marked by the store, she might not even remember that this character existed, let alone remember the other person's name. However, the life assistant soon found Li Xiao's name.
"Li Xiao?"
The old man murmured to himself
"The Li family has produced such a young hero again. It's really amazing. It deserves to be a century-old family. It has a profound heritage."
As the work inside continued to progress, the cooking speed in the kitchen was significantly accelerated, and these big names in the industry finally tasted the dishes made by Li Xiao himself.
The old man smelled the bowl of [Mushroom Clear Soup] in front of him, and then his eyes lit up.
The taste of mushrooms is very strong, without any other odor other than mushrooms. When cleaning, they are washed very clean and handled very properly.
The soup is clear and sweet. Although it is simple to make, it shows the skill of the chef.
"Not bad."
Following the old man's admiration, industry insiders at several tables around him also sighed.
They couldn't help but sigh, after all, there have been talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years.
The youngest person here is close to 40 years old. It is really eye-opening for them to see that a young man in his early 20s can so easily improve the rhythm of the entire kitchen, and the quality of his products has not dropped but has improved.
Time passed quickly, and guests in the hall came and left.
The chefs in the back kitchen were all sweating profusely from exhaustion, but everyone was surprised to find that Li Xiao, who was the busiest and fastest at work, kept working at full power.
Even many chefs feel that Li Xiao's speed seems to be getting faster and faster, and it seems a bit ridiculous.
But in fact, this was just their illusion. It wasn't that Li Xiao's speed had become too fast, but that everyone in the kitchen had slowed down.
After all, the working hours of the chefs in the kitchen are indeed non-stop. Everyone starts preparing various ingredients and making various sauces from eight o'clock in the morning.
At eleven o'clock, everyone started to get busy. Now it is four o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone has been working non-stop for 8 hours.
As the flow of people slowly begins to decrease, the queue outside has also disappeared, leaving only a sporadic table of seven or eight waiting.
He Beibei wiped his sweat and ordered everyone to start taking turns.
This is also the first time she has seen a high-end restaurant that has been so popular since its opening.
Please, this is a restaurant with an average of 550+ per capita. It’s not an ordinary food stall that offers free tastings upon opening. Why are there so many people?
Although she has never experienced such a situation herself, she knows very well how to deal with it.
If it continues to operate at full power, of course it will be able to receive guests from outside soon.
But this will exhaust everyone's physical strength. The subsequent products must be very rough, and there are likely to be many major mistakes.
After all, when people work when they are tired, not only the work efficiency is very low, but the quality of the work will also be very poor.
After He Beibei arranged a break for the kitchen staff, he hesitantly walked to Li Xiao who was stirring the abalone juice.
Look at Li Xiao like a monster
"Do you... need a break?"
Her tone was very unconfident and her voice was low, because this sentence, which should have been taken for granted, seemed to be a little weird when she was facing Li Xiao.
Because no matter what He Beibei thinks, Li Xiao always looks full of energy, asking him to rest? Does such a monster really need to rest?
Not only the people in the kitchen were impressed by Li Xiao's crazy state, but the gifts in the live broadcast room were also being bought non-stop.
Although there are no rockets in the live broadcast room, after all, there are really not many rich people, but cars, small planes, lollipops, support signs, and all kinds of messy props continue to appear in the live broadcast room, and the rolling barrages are even more...
Surprisingly many.
"This morning I heard the anchor say that he ran 10 kilometers for 29 minutes. I thought he was bragging. However, when I saw him working so hard for several hours, I really believed it."
"The donkeys in the production team will cry when they see the anchor's work attitude."
"I'm afraid the pressure on the brothers in the kitchen will be even greater in the future. Once this video is saved, I suspect it will become the culprit for the kitchen's further involvement. I think the boss will definitely say, look at this layman doing such a...
You can maintain this speed for a long time, but you professional chefs can't?"
"My mother asked me why I was kneeling down to broadcast the live broadcast. I asked my mother to come over and watch it together, and there were two people kneeling directly in front of the phone."
"I love it, I love it. Didn't some idiots say that the anchor was just a show? Please let your master do a few shows like this. Brother, I will reward you, okay?"
And those other food anchors who originally wanted to wait and see what happened and see when they would take action against Li Xiao turned pale and looked frightened.
They are really worried that in the future, advertisers will hold themselves to this guy's promotion standards.
Most of them can only eat and talk, but not cook. Even the few who know how to cook are only at the level of ordinary housewives.
Let them make a look after the video. When the goods arrive, it won't be a big problem. Just edit it and add some special effects, and it will still look like a top expert.
But do they really need to go out in person and prepare high-end dishes that cost hundreds per person in such high-end restaurants?
I am afraid that the character will collapse in an instant and social death will occur on the spot.
The anchor who initially suggested finding someone to hack Li Xiao was the first to speak.
[The idea seems to be very difficult, why not forget it? 】
Although a question mark was used at the end, no one thought it was a question.
Everyone's mouth twitched, "Good guy, it's you who wants to take action, and it's you who dare not take action now."
But now they are beginning to back off. There is a certain gap between different people, which will make the people behind them jealous. However, when the gap between the two is too big, jealousy cannot be caused, and it turns into envy and fear.
At the same time, under everyone's stunned gaze, Li Xiao, without any large rewards or using any robots, broke through the second and first places in the popularity list of the food area with overwhelming momentum.
It is firmly on the top of the popularity list in the food area.
These two anchors with tens of millions of fans originally wanted to regain their throne by relying on the amount of rewards and bots. However, after their assistants saw the situation in Li Xiao's live broadcast room, they all cursed inwardly.
The popularity of the other party is so great that although the number of people online in the live broadcast room is only a few thousand more than theirs, only they know the true situation in their own live broadcast room.
Moreover, not only are the opponent's actual number of people large, but the number of people giving rewards is also exaggerated. There is no way to overtake him again. Even if he uses a money offensive to overtake Li Xiao, the gains may outweigh the losses. One or two people can only admit that they are unlucky.
Although Li Xiao felt eyes constantly falling on him, he was somewhat used to it.
After having 4 points of recovery attribute, this kind of work intensity is nothing to him.
In Li Xiao's opinion, he can do it all day long without getting tired. Of course, proper nutrition is still needed.
So, when he found that there was no one queuing outside the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He casually fried himself a portion of mixed fried rice using some of the remaining ingredients. Li Xiao said hello to He Beibei, who was also panting from exhaustion, and walked out of the kitchen with a large plate of fried rice.
However, he had just walked out of the hall and wanted to find an empty seat to eat and take a rest.
There was a sudden silence, and then there was an overwhelming burst of applause. Li Xiao was startled.
He almost hid in the kitchen. You must know that Li Xiao's social phobia used to be quite serious. Although it has eased now, he was still a little overwhelmed by such a sudden incident.
Just when Li Xiao was about to retreat into the back kitchen, an old man walked up to Li Xiao and said:
"It's wonderful. It's really wonderful. A talented young man with a formidable future. Not only his cooking skills are mature, but his endurance is also so strong. It's really amazing."
The old man watched Li Xiao work the whole time, for more than 4 hours, and did not stop until the work was completed.
Judging from the other party's appearance, it can be said that he is not even breathing. He looks quite relaxed. If he were not busy, he could probably continue working for four hours.
He thought to himself that if he could be as young as the other party, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve the same level as the other party.
Four hours may not seem like a long time, but the workload is huge.
In many restaurants, the workload for a meal is usually only about two hours. However, after working for these two hours, many chefs are too tired to move.
Not to mention that such intense work for more than 4 hours would overturn their outlook on life for many years.
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched. Of course he knew who this old man was. He had even interviewed the other party during the live broadcast just now.
He knew that the other party was a five-star chef, but because he was too old, he had now retreated to the background, usually only accepting some menu customization and guidance, or fine-tuning some dishes, or the same as now
, I went to other high-end restaurants for evaluation, but even though I didn’t work in the kitchen, it was more famous than before.
He quickly said modestly
"I don't dare, I just happen to have some understanding of this aspect. As for things like endurance, it's probably because I'm relatively young, so I recover faster."
When the old man heard Li Xiao's modesty, the corners of his eyes twitched. Fortunately, there were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, so the people around him couldn't see it.
He wasn't sure whether this was the other party's self-effacement or showing off.
If the level just now is just a little understanding, then how powerful is the project that the other party is proficient in?
After another round of pleasantries, Li Xiao finally got rid of the chattering old man and found an empty seat to sit down.
Only then did he have time to take out his mobile phone and take a look.
When his eyes fell on the screen of his live broadcast room, he was startled and almost jumped up.
Fortunately, he has seen a lot of strong winds and waves during this period, and his self-control is much better than before, so he can barely suppress the surprise in his heart.
I don’t know when the number of people online in my live broadcast room has exceeded 200,000, and the rewards are also ridiculously large. There are already more than 700,000. Even if it is half and half with the platform, I will still get 350,000.
Good guy, if I continue to live broadcast, I’m afraid I can take home the Mercedes-Benz I bought with a loan in full?
He quickly greeted the audience in the live broadcast room
"Sorry, sorry, I've been busy just now and can't chat with you at all. I'm really sorry for everyone. Thank you all for the rewards. Thank you very much. It's really expensive. In addition, I will continue to live broadcast here in the evening.
I work, so friends who want to eat the dishes I cook by myself can come here quickly, but there is no such store after passing this village."
Seeing Li Xiao reappear to chat with everyone, the live broadcast room, which was already very lively, immediately exploded."
"First of all, let me tell you that I am not a fisherman. The dish I just finished eating was very delicious and perfect. It is even more delicious than those thousand-yuan high-end restaurants I have eaten at. It is great."
"The anchor is so awesome. His knife skills and cooking skills are so good. Even if the anchor doesn't speak, he can keep me watching all afternoon just cooking."
"I used to think that the cooking skills of chefs in gourmet anime were exaggerated. But today when I saw the anchor's cooking skills, I realized that they were realistic."
"Originally, I made an appointment with another high-end restaurant today, but when I saw the live broadcast of the anchor, I immediately turned around and went in. Although I queued for 2 hours, I was not disappointed at all. The food was super delicious.
Especially the black vinegar yuzu sea urchin, the taste is so special that I will never forget it. I have never eaten such special sea urchin, five-star praise!!"
