Dare to cook

Chapter 303 Amalfi in the Storm

At five o'clock in the afternoon local time, the sky began to rain lightly.

The wind picked up.

Clouds began to gather on the sea, and the waves were dark.

The partners who had just arrived in San Lazaro received a reminder from the program team.

The program team told them that the storm was coming soon, and asked them to return to Amalfi before the storm came.

There are a dozen large and small towns scattered along the entire coastline of the Gulf of Salerno.

These towns were previously connected only by a narrow coastal road.

One side of the coastal road is a steep mountain wall, and the other side is a guardrail facing the sea.Beyond the guardrail is an equally steep sea cliff.

For locals, traveling along the coastal road during a storm can be dangerous.

Even when the sky is clear, the series of curves on the coastal road can be enough to stump the less skilled driver.

Yao Yu and the others were reminded by the program group that they all speeded up their purchases.

A few people came to Huaxia Supermarket and bought about forty pairs of bowls and chopsticks, some plates, soup plates and spoons.

Then I purchased a lot of beef, flour, eggs, red wine, cheese and other ingredients.

However, Yao Yu soon discovered that the trunk of their car was not enough to hold all the ingredients.

Therefore, Yao Yu approached the owner of Huaxia Supermarket and discussed with him whether he could provide delivery services.

Since Yao Yu’s group purchased a lot, they spent more than 1000 euros at one time, the supermarket owner readily agreed. After Yao Yu paid a 30% deposit, the supermarket owner said that he would deliver the items at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. to the restaurant.

Yao Yu and the supermarket owner reached a consensus and added contact information to each other.

At this time, the entire sky was covered with clouds, and there were even several flashes of lightning over the distant sea.

The supermarket owner has lived in the area for several years.

Looking at the weather, he told Yao Yu that there would be a big storm tonight.

If they don't rush back now, they will have to wait until tomorrow morning to return to Amalfi.

After hearing this, Yao Yu's group had no choice but to give up their plans to buy other things, and immediately got into the car with two bags of ingredients.

The wind and rain came quickly.

By the time Yao Yu drove into the small town of Amalfi, it was already dark.

The wind was howling, the waves were beating against the long embankment, and the big raindrops were crackling on the car windows.

Feng Ziyi, who was sitting in the car, clicked his tongue and said:
"My dear, the weather at the beach is really unpredictable. It rained so heavily all of a sudden."

Jiang Yuqi also said:
"I don't know if there are many thunderstorms like this in Amalfi. If there are more times, our restaurant will really not be able to attract customers."

Yao Yu said while driving back to the B&B:

"There shouldn't be many such weather. After all, summer is the peak tourist season in Amalfi."

"However, Amalfi has historically been submerged by tsunamis."

"According to the "Complete History of Italy", in 1343..."

Feng Ziyi's face trembled and he quickly interrupted: "Brother! My dear brother, please stop talking. You can't use the great prophecy skill casually! What if a tsunami really comes?"

Lu Chenyu and Jiang Yuqi giggled happily when they heard this.

After a while, the wind and rain became stronger.

The rain washed down the mountain, and many street lights in the entire town were extinguished, and visibility was extremely low.

The hotel where the program team stayed was not far from the homestay where Yao Yu and the others lived.

On the way back to the homestay, Yao Yu drove extremely steadily.

But just as he was about to arrive at the B&B, a tree on the side of the road was blown down by the strong wind, and it happened to hit the front hood of a car in the program group.

The vehicle of the program group following Yao Yu was hit like this, and the engine was immediately turned off.

Yao Yu saw this scene from the rearview mirror, and immediately exclaimed, "The car for the program was hit by a tree!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an immediate commotion in the nanny's car.

Meng Xiao quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Are you all okay?"

Sitting in the car behind the nanny car was the on-site director Wang Haiyuan.

Wang Haiyuan immediately responded: "We're fine, but the engine is off. Hurry up and go back to the hotel, don't worry about us!"

"How does this work..."

Meng Xiao wanted to say something else, but Yao Yu interrupted:

"Brother Hai, sit in the car and don't move, don't come out! I'll pick you up after I send them back, don't move!"

The program team sent two cars to follow Yao Yu.

A car was driving ahead of Yao Yu, almost arriving at the hotel.

There were only four people in the car following him. Yao Yu could easily take them all away if he turned back once.

Wang Haiyuan didn't want Yao Yu to take risks, and planned to let other people pick him up.But Yao Yu has suppressed other people's objections with practical actions.

He sent the other guests and partners to the door of the hotel, and immediately turned back to pick up Wang Haiyuan and the others.

As for the car that was crushed by the tree trunk, we had to wait until the storm passed.

Yao Yu picked up the four of Wang Haiyuan. Wang Haiyuan didn't ask Yao Yu to send them back to the hotel directly out of consideration for the effect of the program. Instead, he returned to the hotel with Yao Yu.

After returning to the homestay, Feng Ziyi and Jiang Yuqi handed over towels for everyone to wipe off the rain on their bodies.

Lu Chenyu has already entered the kitchen to make ginger tea for everyone.

After the five partners and four staff members who will be mosaiced in post-processing drank ginger tea together, the rain was much lighter.

At this time, Wang Haiyuan asked other people from the program team to drive them back to the hotel.

After Yao Yu and the others sent Wang Haiyuan away, they glanced at each other, and they all knew that this accident would probably be edited into the feature film.

……

After Wang Haiyuan left, they went back to their rooms and changed their clothes.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening.

It was dark outside because of the storm.

The violent sea breeze made the floor-to-ceiling windows of the homestay rattle from time to time.

Yao Yu had already changed into dry clothes, and he said to everyone:

"If everyone is fine now, let's discuss tomorrow's work assignment. Also, what dishes to cook tomorrow must be decided first."

Meng Xiao smiled and said:

"You are the chef, you have the final say on what dishes to cook."

Yao Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "How can it be done? Of course, everyone needs to work together and discuss it."

Jiang Yuqi asked, "What time do we open tomorrow?"

Lu Chenyu said:

"Local restaurants are open from 07:30 noon to [-]:[-] pm. Then in the evening it's around [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] pm."

"Italians have the habit of drinking afternoon tea, so we just follow the local restaurant's business hours."

Meng Xiao thought for a while and said:

"We don't have enough manpower, right? In addition to cooking and serving dishes, we also have to wash dishes and clean up. Wouldn't it be better to shorten the business hours?"

Lu Chenyu heard the words and said:

"Then shorten it by half an hour. The business hours are until 01:30 at noon and 09:30 in the evening."

"Let Yao Yu and I do the cooking on the first day. Then you see, who will be in charge of the cashier and who will take care of the customers?"

Jiang Yuqi immediately raised her hand and said:

"Leave the cash register to me. I'll guard the counter. From now on, I'll be the tea girl in our restaurant."

"Then I'll be a lobby manager, and I'll take orders for customers." Meng Xiao said.

Seeing that they all claimed their positions, Feng Ziyi shrugged: "Then I'll be in charge of soliciting business, and I'll fill in wherever there is a shortage of people."
