Hardcore Chef Dad

After Wu Tongtong finished handing over to her colleagues, she returned to the staff lounge and changed out of her hotel uniform. After changing into her own clothes, she said goodbye to her colleagues at work and left the hotel.

After walking to the subway station and taking the subway for three stops, Wu Tongtong walked out of the subway station and followed the bustling crowd to the front of a dessert shop called Li Zi Workshop.

When you open the door and enter the dessert shop, you will be greeted by a very rich aroma of chestnuts.

Just walking in and smelling the alluring chestnut scent makes you feel like you are in a chestnut garden for an instant.

The salesperson in the store is greeting customers and recommending some new products launched by the boss and his wife today to the customers who entered the store today, as well as some of the most classic desserts in the store.

Seeing Wu Tongtong come in, a salesperson greeted her with a smile: Sister Wu, is she off work?

Wu Tongtong smiled and nodded: Yes, I just got off work. Where are Luo Yu and the others?

Another salesperson immediately said: The boss and the boss's wife are making desserts inside, but Sister Wu, you can't go in for the time being. There is a birthday cake today, so you may need to wait.

Wu Tongtong responded: It doesn't matter, let them do their thing, give me a copy of Montblanc first, I'll rest my belly and wait for them.

After ordering a dessert, Wu Tongtong found a seat in the special rest area of ​​the store and sat down.

Not long after, a salesperson brought the dessert she ordered to her.

The dessert base looks like a very ordinary small cake, but it is dotted with an intricately intertwined brown chocolate hollow ball.

This is the best-selling dessert in the store.

It is also a dessert made by Luo Yu through some of her own innovations based on the classic French dessert Montblanc.

Similarly, this dessert can also be eaten in the hotel restaurant.

But Wu Tongtong still prefers to come to Luo Yu and Chen Xu Dessert Shop to buy one.

Because she always felt that it seemed that the food made by Luo Yu in the store tasted better than that in the hotel restaurant, especially the chestnut aroma was stronger.

Use a small metal spoon to cut off the hollow ball from top to bottom, and scoop out a piece of bottom cake.

Wu Tongtong put it into his mouth together, and the rich and sweet chestnut flavor instantly spread in his mouth.

After a little chewing, the saliva secreted and the taste spread.

Eating it in such a small bite gives you the satisfaction of eating a whole chestnut.

Wu Tongtong felt that Luo Yu could make such delicious desserts. She was the most powerful dessert chef in her mind. She didn't understand why she lost to Chen Xu?

What she was even more curious about was what price would a top chef like Feng Yifan spend to invite Luo Yu?

As another burst of stronger chestnut aroma appeared, Luo Yu walked out holding the freshly baked dessert.

Chen Xu also followed behind, while he carefully held a large cake in his hands.

After the two came out, Luo Yu put the desserts on the plate first. Then she took the cake from Chen Xu, held it in her hands and said to the store clerk: The cake No. 33 is ready. Please wrap it up and remember to put it in the freezer until the customer comes to pick it up.

The salesperson listened carefully, then took the cake from Luo Yu's hand and prepared it for packaging.

At this time, another salesperson said: Sister Luo Yu, Sister Wu is here. She is sitting over there waiting for you.

Luo Yu glanced in the direction where Wu Tongtong was sitting.

Wu Tongtong raised the hand holding the small spoon,

He waved to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu did not go back to the production room directly, but came to where Wu Tongtong was sitting.

What? You want to eat Montblanc again?

Wu Tongtong responded with a smile: Yes, what's wrong? The boss lady doesn't welcome you, right?

Luo Yu smiled and said: Welcome, you can come and eat anytime you want.

Wu Tongtong licked the remaining dessert on the spoon, and then said: Luo Yu, the one you made is still delicious. The one made in the hotel restaurant, I always feel that the taste is different from the one you made by yourself.

Luo Yu smiled and stretched out a finger, tapped Wu Tongtong's forehead and said, It's a psychological effect.

Wu Tongtong said seriously: No, I really think so, and your business here is so good now, which proves it.

Luo Yu asked: Okay, you came here just to have snacks, right?

Wu Tongtong immediately became serious: Did you know? There was someone in our hotel today who specifically asked us about your situation. Do you know who it is?

Luo Yu thought for a moment and said, It should be Chef Feng Yifan who recently stayed at your hotel, right?

Wu Tongtong asked curiously: How did you guess it?

Luo Yu said: It's not difficult to guess. He wants to invite Chen Xu and me to his restaurant to be dessert chefs. We have met once before. Although he is a very top chef, he has no airs and is a very good chef. A daughter-slave who loves her daughter.”

Wu Tongtong immediately said: Yes, yes, you know everything, right? He is really a slave to his daughter, and he especially dotes on his daughter, but his daughter is also very beautiful. If only I could have one as beautiful and cute in the future My daughter is really great.

Luo Yu smiled and said: You are not ugly. If you find a handsome husband in the future, I guarantee that your daughter will also be beautiful.

Wu Tongtong added: Not only must they be beautiful, but they must also be very cute. Do you know that those two little girls are so well-behaved and cute? I really don't know how other people's daughters are educated?

Luo Yu said: You are wrong in this idea. What you see is only the side of the little girl in front of others, and you will definitely not see the side of the little girl at home. Maybe at home, the little girl will be very willful. Not as cute as you think.

When Luo Yu said this, at Shi Jiahui's house, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi, who had had dinner, were running around and playing with brother Shi Tao from house to house.

Moreover, the two little girls would rush to their respective fathers from time to time, slap them, and then run away.

Perhaps Wu Tongtong, who saw such a scene, may not think that such two little girls can be associated with well-behaved.

Wu Tongtong did not continue the girl's topic, but asked: Then are you and Chen Xu going?

Luo Yu answered calmly: After learning about Feng Yifan's identity, Chen Xu and I really wanted to go there. We both felt that by being with such a top chef, we could better demonstrate our abilities, and perhaps our desserts would be better in the future. , can also become a dessert on the Samsung menu.”

Wu Tongtong was a little curious and asked: Is it really that important to you that your desserts can be on the three-star menu?

Luo Yu said with a serious face: Perhaps for many diners, they will think that it is just a foreign food rating, why should they care? And what qualifications does a foreign rating have to judge the quality of our domestic dishes? But that is What diners think, and for us in the kitchen, that rating is an endorsement.”

Wu Tongtong understood: So, you really hope to get three stars?

Luo Yu nodded: Yes, I hope I can get it.

Wu Tongtong asked again: What about Chen Xu?

Luo Yu regarded Wu Tongtong as a best friend, so she leaned close to Wu Tongtong and whispered in Wu Tongtong's ear: He cares more about how to promote Chinese dim sum, but he doesn't really care about whether he can get three stars.

Wu Tongtong nodded: Okay, then if you leave, won't this store also have to close?

Luo Yu said with a smile: It will probably be closed temporarily, but maybe we will come back and continue to operate in the future.

Wu Tongtong couldn't help but feel a little sad: Ah, if you leave, I won't be able to eat such delicious snacks.

Luo Yu said: You, you should eat less. Have you gained weight recently? Why do I feel like you are a lot bigger here?

Wu Tongtong immediately said shyly: No way, please don't talk nonsense.

And then, Wu Tongtong was also very nervous, and couldn't help but use her hands to measure in front of her.

Luo Yu couldn't stop laughing when she saw this. Fortunately, the place where they were sitting was in a corner.

When Wu Tongtong saw Luo Yu smiling, she realized that she was being teased and reached out to slap her.

Then she asked Luo Yu: Will you accept Feng Yifan's invitation?

Luo Yu shook her head: I don't know now. Maybe we still want to really see how good Feng Yifan's cooking skills are.

Wu Tongtong remembered that when she got off work, she heard some cooks in the back kitchen talking about the lunch restaurant.

She also told everything she had heard about Feng Yifan personally cooking at noon and cooking two very powerful dishes. Walsh, who came from the headquarters to review them, made the decision and planned to authorize the purchase of the two dishes. Got Luo Yu.

Luo Yu was a little surprised when she heard this: Oh? Feng Yifan will be cooking in the kitchen of your hotel at noon?

Wu Tongtong nodded: I also heard from the chefs in the back kitchen talking about it. It is said that the last two dishes at noon made many cooks in the back kitchen feel very good. Those chefs were all impressed by his dishes.

Luo Yu was a little surprised at first, but then said: This is normal, after all, the one-star menu in the hotel restaurant belongs to him, and he was once the chef of a three-star restaurant.

Wu Tongtong was also a little excited: Yes, I only found out recently that he actually left our hotel menu.

Luo Yu said with a smile: That's not a stay, it's an authorization bought at a high price from the hotel headquarters.

Wu Tongtong asked curiously: Is it the same as the dessert you had before?

Luo Yu said: It's almost the same, but mine is just a dessert, while others have a complete menu. The price alone is incomparable.

Wu Tongtong was even more curious: Wow, how much is that?

On the contrary, Luo Yu said seriously: That cannot be measured by money.

Wu Tongtong doesn't understand very well.

Luo Yu explained a little: For example, he used to be a chef in a three-star restaurant. With this status and name alone, his menus are worth a lot, and every dish is recognized by the world's top gourmets. , that’s not something everyone can do.”

Wu Tongtong probably understood the value of the menu Feng Yifan left in the hotel restaurant.

Thinking of this, Wu Tongtong somewhat agreed, feeling that if Chen Xu and Luo Yu went with Feng Yifan, they might be able to achieve their dreams and pursuits.

Thinking of this, Wu Tongtong said to Luo Yu: If you really want to leave, you must inform me.

Seeing that her best friend was obviously a little sad, Luo Yu smiled and comforted her and said, Okay, don't worry, no matter where we go, we will always be good friends. You can also visit us then, or you You can just come to work with us.

Wu Tongtong suddenly laughed: You're right, I will work as a waiter in your restaurant when the time comes.

Luo Yu and Wu Tongtong are really close friends.

The two chatted for a while, and when more and more people started to come in from the dessert shop, Wu Tongtong stood up to say goodbye and left in order not to disturb Luo Yu's work.

After sending Wu Tongtong away and bringing her some bread, Luo Yu returned to the workroom inside.

Chen Xu asked while busy, What? Why did Wu Tongtong come to complain to you again?

Wu Tongtong really likes to come here to complain and eat some desserts to relieve the pressure of busy work in the hotel.

Luo Yu patted Chen Xu gently: Don't be so mean, Tongtong is very good.

Chen Xu responded with a smile: Actually, I think it's good for her to come over and complain. After complaining, eating some desserts can relieve a lot of work stress.

Luo Yu was stunned when Chen Xu said this.

After a while, Luo Yu whispered: Then if we leave, who will Tongtong complain to in the future?

Chen Xu was a little surprised when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Luo Yu, who was in a low mood.

Then he stepped forward and hugged Luo Yu and asked, What's wrong? Why do you suddenly think of us leaving? Where are we going? To Feng Yifan's restaurant? But he hasn't officially invited us yet.

Luo Yu raised her head, looked at Chen Xu seriously and asked, Then if he comes to invite you, will you go?

This sentence really stopped Chen Xu.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xu said, I might go.

Luo Yu also admitted: Yes, I will go too, because he was the former chef of the Perovance restaurant, which is the undisputed top restaurant.

Chen Xu immediately corrected: The best Western restaurant.

Luo Yu was amused by Chen Xu's serious correction.

Hahaha, okay, the best Western restaurant, then Mr. Chen Xu, why do you want to go with a former chef of a Western restaurant?

Chen Xu immediately said: He is also the current person in charge of Su Ji.

Su Ji, this name is relatively unfamiliar to Luo Yu.

However, as a dim sum master's apprentice, Chen Xu is no stranger to him at all, and because he heard some past stories about Su Ji from his master, he has a fascination for Su Ji.

Chen Xu felt that perhaps by going to Suji, he could hone himself better and be able to promote Chinese dim sum.

Luo Yu probably knew what Chen Xu was thinking. She hesitated and asked: Actually, Su Ji is not well-known in China now. If you go to Su Ji, you may not be able to achieve your ideals, right?

Chen Xu looked serious: Yes, I believe Su Ji will become famous in the world again.

Luo Yu asked again: So, you have decided to go?

Chen Xu immediately said: No, I must see Feng Yifan's cooking skills with my own eyes, otherwise I will definitely not agree to him casually.

Luo Yu spread her hands and said, So, we still have to wait passively for his invitation.

Chen Xu nodded: Wait and see.

Luo Yuzhanyan laughed: Okay, then Dim Sum Master Chen, shall we start working quickly? The guests in front are still waiting.

Chen Xu also came to his senses and said, Oh, ah, then hurry up and get to work first.

The two people began to work seriously in the workroom.
