【Fontaine Debo Hotel】

The two doormen who were in charge of welcoming guests outside the hotel couldn't help but murmur in their hearts as they watched Chao Ke walking towards the main entrance.

Boss, are you coming to eat at this time?

There were only two minutes left before the restaurant closed. According to the unspoken rules of the restaurant, they could not solicit any more customers at this moment.

Even if customers come to them on their own initiative, they have to politely refuse and persuade them to come back tomorrow.

After all, it was almost time to get off work, and the colleagues in the kitchen had already cleaned up all the pots, pans, ovens, stoves, and other equipment. If it weren't for the hotel's discipline requirements, those chefs would have left work long ago.

If customers are allowed to order food during this period, it is not an exaggeration to say that if the chef in the kitchen gets angry and has a bad temper, he will come and chop them with a kitchen knife.

But this Mr. Chao Ke...seems to be a friend of their chef, not an ordinary guest.

The two doormen who were welcoming guests were a little unsure whether to receive him or not.

Thinking of this, a doorman gave another colleague a look and whispered, "I'll hold him for a while, you go ask the chef if he wants to receive him."

"it is good."

The other doorman nodded in agreement and turned to go back.

Unexpectedly, just as he pushed open the door, Chao Ke's figure flashed and appeared inside the door of [Debo Hotel].

This scene was as if the doorman opened the door for Chao Ke in advance in order to welcome him.

"Chao...Mr. Chao Ke?!!"

The doorman who opened the door was so shocked that he was speechless, and the man who was planning to hold Chao Ke at the door looked at his colleague with a look of surprise and apology.

This gentleman is really not someone he can stop.

But now it seems that the uncles in the kitchen can't find any trouble with me...

"Ok?"

Looking at the doorman standing beside him motionless, he snorted at Ke to express his doubt.

After realizing his mistake, the doorman forced a smile that looked uglier than bitterness, bowed and said.

"Mr. Chao Ke, welcome. Please follow me and I will arrange a seat for you."

"Ah."

Chao Ke nodded, this was the correct service process.

Following the doorman, Chao Ke was taken to a good seat. When the doorman was about to leave, Chao Ke shook hands with him and gave the doorman a small stack of cash as a tip.

"???"

The doorman felt the thickness of the stack of banknotes and carefully checked the face value. He felt an irrepressible joy in his heart and bowed to Mr. Chao Ke again.

"Enjoy your meal, sir."

At the same time, the waiter Sangnetti, who had been leaning against the wall of the restaurant with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and the countdown to the end of his shift that he had been silently reciting in his mind was thus paused.

Sangnetti raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the doorman with dissatisfaction.

BYD, what's wrong with you? Are you itching to be punished?

I don’t know how you are bringing people into the restaurant at this time. How are we supposed to get off work?

However, when Sangnetti saw that the person being brought in was Chao Ke, most of his dissatisfaction instantly disappeared.

Having said that, if the customer is this person, it’s not impossible to extend the time.

After all, Mr. Chao Ke has always appreciated his talent in dish combination and he speaks very nicely.

The most important thing is...this guy really gives tips!

Moreover, the money he gave was nearly half a month's salary in the restaurant. Which waiter would be unwilling to serve him?

Thinking of this, Sangnetti trotted towards Chao Ke, eager to provide service to Chao Ke.

Even when Sangnetti passed by the doorman, he gave him a kind look.

This kid did a good job. He brought the customers back even at the risk of being eaten by the kitchen.

It's good to welcome you, since you won't be the one cooking or washing the pot in the end.

......

Outside the hotel.

When the doorman who led Chao Ke to his seat returned outside, he found that his colleague had already cleaned up the debris at the door that the two of them were supposed to clean up together.

"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't stop that customer. If the people in the kitchen blame me tomorrow, I'll have to trouble you."

The doorman paused, and immediately understood that his colleague wanted him to take the blame.

However, after touching the stack of banknotes in his pocket, the doorman came up with an idea and patted his colleague on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, bro."

Seeing his colleague was obviously relieved after hearing his answer, the doorman couldn't help but smile wickedly.

Don't worry, I'll see if I come to work in the next two days.

This tip is much higher than the salary for perfect attendance for a month, and how much is the fine for being absent from work for just one day?

Besides, those guys in the kitchen never take their anger out the next day.

If nothing happens, it's fine. Even if something happens, it will be fine after I come back from two days of absence from work.

The two doormen looked at each other with pity and laughed at the same time.

.........

Inside the restaurant.

Sangnetti felt relieved when he learned that Chao Ke only wanted to take some snacks back for the children as a midnight snack.

This is a good demand. Although dim sum is a little more troublesome to make, at least it is a take-out order, and you don’t have to stay in the restaurant for too long like a dinner party.

Although the desserts are more troublesome to prepare, they don't require the waiter Sangnetti to make them.

So, encouraged by the high tips, Sangnetti tried his best to recommend to Chao Ke those snacks that were delicious, beautiful, and difficult to make.

Some are desserts, some are snacks, and they are also paired with several colorful and non-alcoholic sparkling drinks.

So much so that when this food order was sent to the kitchen, the chef exploded after just one look at it.

"Fuck it!" the chef and the cooks blurted out in C language.

"This hook machine bar order is a post bar, it was definitely recommended by Sangnetti this BYD."

"Oh my god, if I really want to make all the desserts in this order, I'll have to use at least half of the kitchen utensils, and then I'll have to wash them all over again."

"Oh my god! Give me the knife, I'll go out and see who placed the order."

As he spoke, a chef pulled out a knife from the knife rack and was about to attack.

The chef was shocked when he saw this scene, and quickly grabbed the chef and shouted.

"Zhu Kai! Put down the knife!"

"Be obedient, and don't come on stage again!"

"We all know that you are the best at making dim sum, so you should stay in the kitchen for now."

“No matter how hard the food is for the guests to eat, you can make it into a snack that is easy to eat.”

"Really...really, Chef?"

"Really." The chef patted Zhu Kai on the shoulder, "When it comes to making dim sum and chicken soup, you can make the best dishes among dishes, the best dishes!"

"So, you stay in the kitchen first, and I'll go outside and see what's going on."

"Okay, big brother."

After comforting his chefs, the chef wiped his hands on his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and walked out.

Ordering food before leaving get off work is indeed not a very authentic thing to do.

Seeing the chef personally leaving the kitchen, Sangnetti, who was standing against the wall, subconsciously took a step back. When he realized that there was a wall behind him and he had no way to retreat, Sangnetti had to shrink his body slightly, hoping that the chef would not pay attention to him.

Unexpectedly, the chef's sharp eyes turned to Sangnetti the next moment, and he pointed at him a few times with his finger in the air.

Sangnetti understood that the chef was talking about ordering his own food.

In view of the chef's tyranny, Sangnetti had to shrink his shoulders and look at the customers Chao Ke and the doorman outside, hoping to share the firepower with him.

Fortunately, the chef was not unreasonable. He knew that taking orders and recommending dishes to guests was Sangnetti's duty as a waiter. Especially when the chef saw that the guest was Chao Ke, he simply sighed and stopped making things difficult for them.

The chef took a bottle of red wine from the counter, picked up two glasses, and walked towards Chao Ke's seat.

Seeing this, Chao Ke laughed and teased the chef, "I don't remember I ordered any wine either."

"Sent."

The chef replied unhappily, "Drink it. Consider it my treat."

"Okay." Chao Ke was not polite. He took the wine with his left hand, pinched the bottle with his right little finger and ring finger, pinched the cork at the bottle mouth with his right thumb and index finger, lifted it up slightly, and with a "bang", he pulled the cork out completely.

Seeing Chao Ke opening the glass of red wine with one hand, the chef smacked his lips and silently put away the seahorse knife in his hand.

Those little bastards in the kitchen still want to come out and cause trouble? This guy can beat us into QQ candies with just one punch.

Chao Ke picked up the wine, poured it for himself and the chef, and clinked glasses.

After a few pleasantries, the chef couldn't help but ask Chao Ke: "Don't you have your own restaurant? Why do you have to come to me to make snacks?"

"Don't think I don't know. You are very generous. The tip you gave them is probably higher than the meal cost."

"Tsk." Chao Ke took a sip of the wine and made a "tsk" sound.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Let's talk about it. The longer we chat, the more I can justify lying around outside."

"Row."

Chao Ke agreed and said, "I come to eat here because the [Debo Hotel] has good craftsmanship. It is a dream fusion of food, art and service. It is indeed the best choice in the [Fontaine] dim sum world."

The chef raised his eyebrows, "I've told you the truth, what about the lies?"

Chao Ke:.......

"as long as you are happy."

"【Lie?】, 【Lie?】 I saw that the delicious dim sum restaurants on the street were all closed, and I didn't want to let my lovely kitchen staff work overtime at this time of day. It just so happened that the dim sum you made at the Debo Hotel was pretty good and it wasn't time to get off work yet, so I came here."

"As for which is true and which is false, it depends on what you want to hear, brother."

Chef: ...

I'm so angry that sometimes I really want to beat this guy up.

But after looking at the red wine cork on the table that Chao Ke had taken off with one hand, the chef calmed down a lot.

It’s hard to say whether the chef in front of me is better at cooking than me, but if he punches me, I will definitely be the one who suffers.

After chatting for a while, Chao Ke suddenly thought of something. He called up the system interface and looked through the [Food Illustrations] column.

Chao Ke discovered a long time ago that the recipes in the system's [Food Encyclopedia] would be continuously updated and supplemented with the game version.

I hadn't paid attention for a while, and found that there were indeed a lot more recipes that could be lit up in [Fontaine].

Moreover, there are two new recipes available in the [Debo Hotel] here.

Thinking of this, Chao Ke waved to Sangnetti who was standing beside him, motioning him to come over.

Seeing Chao Ke's gesture, Sangnetti was immediately startled and trotted to Chao Ke's side.

"Hello Mr. Chao Ke, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I need the recipes for two dishes. Can you write them for me?"

"Well....."

"Um???"

Sangnetti glanced at the chef out of the corner of his eye with an embarrassed expression.

As for the chef sitting next to Chao Ke, he looked confused but also a little red.

It’s not Chao Ke, what’s wrong with you?

You are trading recipes in front of me, the boss of the restaurant kitchen. Do you really think I don't exist?

Also, you didn't ask me, the head chef, to buy the recipe privately, but you went to a waiter in a restaurant? That's really disrespectful!

Seeing this, Chao Ke patted the chef's shoulder and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you."

"Mr. Sangnetti has his own unique views on food, and I can get a lot of inspiration from his ideas. I can cook many dishes myself, so asking for recipes is more for reference."

"And the transaction method is to be conducted in front of you to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings later."

After listening to Chao Ke's explanation, the chef nodded. Although he still felt a little confused and something was wrong, after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no problem.

"Is that right?"

"of course."

After explaining to the chef, Chao Ke immediately told Sangnetti the names of the recipes he needed, [Cream Stewed Chicken] and [Orange-flavored Duck Breast].

After learning Chao Ke's needs, Sangnetti immediately went to the counter, asked for paper and pen, and started writing on the table.

As for Chao Ke, the chef was moved by Chao Ke's words of communication and inspiration, and began to exchange cooking experiences with Chao Ke.

Although Chao Ke felt that the purpose of the chef's communication was more because he did not want to go back to work in the kitchen, after all, except for people like Chao Ke who own the restaurant, no chef would be willing to work overtime.

Chao Ke did not point this out. After all, the chef had real stuff in his hands, and one could really learn something from communicating with him.

Soon, Sangnetti came over with two recipes he had written. Chao Ke didn't say anything and immediately took out a check to pay for them.

As Chao Ke took over the recipe, the system's recognition and storage reminder sounded immediately afterwards.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Cream Stewed Chicken]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Orange-flavored duck breast]

After the reminder sounded, Chao Ke simply handed the recipe to the chef without even glancing at it, "Please check first to see if this waiter's recipe betrays your business secrets."

The chef's eyebrows jumped. "Is it appropriate for you to do this?"

"It's appropriate. It's better to get some things out there than to keep them to yourself."

"Row."

Under Sangnetti's somewhat uneasy gaze, the chef took the handwritten recipe and examined it.

However, after just taking a look at the amount of seasoning and the proportion of ingredients, the chef's brows relaxed, and he handed the recipe to Chao Ke and said, "No problem."

This handwritten recipe is very different from the one used in restaurants, and the taste of the food is probably only slightly better than home-cooked food, but not much better.

Yes, if one has some talent in cooking, how could he have been a waiter all his life?

After getting the chef's approval, Chao Ke put the recipe in his arms.

The paper used to write the recipe was good this time, so Chao Ke didn't want to burn it. He would save it for when he stayed at Linnilinette's house and use it as a table mat for snacks.

If you can wipe the table less often, it is still of some use.
