my boyfriend is a chef

Chapter 14 Stir-Fried Eel

When he woke up the next day, although he still had a hangover headache, Sun Youchen's mood was as bright as the sun in June, and the smile on his mouth never disappeared. He peeked at Xi Chuan, and Xi Chuan's expression was as usual, he should be nothing Know.

Zeng Bo drove them back, Xi Chuan went to take a shower first, and said to Sun Youchen: "You can rest at home, I'm going to work, if you don't want to eat fast food at noon, you can come to the store."

Sun Youchen hurriedly said, "I'll go to the store with you now."

Xi Chuan looked at him: "What are you going to the store with me for?"

"Learn to cook." Sun Youchen has always remembered this agreement, and has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Xi Chuan didn't expect Sun Youchen to be so persistent, he was not as forthright as he promised before: "I think your talent lies in painting, you should still paint, don't learn to cook."

"I already know how to paint, now I just want to cook." Sun Youchen said seriously.

Xi Chuan looked down at Sun Youchen's fair and slender hands, and said, "Cooking is very hard."

"I'm not afraid. If you can do it, I can do it too. You can teach me, I want to get my restaurant back as soon as possible." Sun Youchen looked at Xi Chuan firmly.

Xi Chuan sighed lightly: "Go take a shower, hurry up, you only have 15 minutes, I'm going to be late, the boss just called to remind me."

Sun Youchen became excited, and quickly jumped up to take a bath. Xi Chuan was going to teach him how to cook.

On the first day after the college entrance examination, Sun Youchen put his arms around Xi Chuan's waist and went to work with him.He was extremely excited, feeling that a brand new life path was unfolding in front of him, he opened his arms behind Xi Chuan, and laughed loudly, like a bird out of the cage.

Hearing his hearty laughter, Xi Chuan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, infected by his emotions.This cheerful and smiling Sun Youchen is the real Sun Youchen.

As soon as Xi Chuan arrived at the restaurant, he saw Tian Cheng standing outside the store door and looking around, seeing him coming, he breathed a sigh of relief: "You are here."

While parking the car, Xi Chuan said, "What's the matter, I'm not late, am I?"

"No. A rather troublesome guest came today, and only you can handle it. Waiting for you to put out the fire." Tian Cheng showed a worried look.

Xi Chuan raised his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Tian Cheng lowered his voice and said: "Someone came to spoil the place, saying that our food is not good enough, and we will give a bad review, so it's all up to you, you must do a good job today."

Sun Youchen followed behind them puzzled, what kind of guest, such a big temper.After entering the store, I saw a man and a woman sitting in the store. The short and fat male customer said: "Madam, we came here without even having breakfast. When will we be able to eat? If we can't do it, we will go back." Come on, don't waste everyone's time."

Tian Cheng hurriedly said: "Here we come, here we come. This is our master, and he will cook for you right away."

The chunky man looked Xi Chuan up and down: "He is your chef? So young!" Apparently he didn't believe it.

The female guest also looked at Xi Chuan with great interest, and then said with a smile: "Don't tell me you can't cook well, why did you specially invite a handsome guy over here to trick the handsome guy?"

Xi Chuan glanced at the guest and said, "Please wait a moment, both of you, it will be ready soon." He said and walked towards the kitchen.

Tian Cheng handed the menu to Xi Chuan, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and turned to the guests and said, "Please wait a moment, our master cooks very quickly, and today's package must satisfy you."

The man leaned back on the chair and said while eating watermelon, "Then I'll wait and see."

Sun Youchen was at a loss, Tian Cheng was usually very confident, when had he ever been so submissive to others, who is this sacred, so arrogant, so he pulled Liang Xiaofen to ask clearly.Liang Xiaofen sighed helplessly, and told him quietly: "I ran into a thorny client, deliberately finding trouble. Didn't you take an exam two days ago, your brother asked for leave to take care of you, and didn't cook in the store. That customer The food I ordered was not tasty, so I wrote negative reviews for two days in a row. Sister Cheng discussed with them to cancel the bad review, but she refused to refund the money. Finally, she said that she would only cancel it when she was satisfied with the meal, so Sister Cheng invited someone to come. The store is here. Only your brother can help us with this matter."

Sun Youchen understood that what fast food restaurants are most afraid of is bad reviews. Finally, the business has improved, and a few bad reviews can ruin a restaurant. If you encounter such difficult customers, it will be even more troublesome. It seems that the food is delicious It happened this time. "Have they ever eaten the dishes made by my brother?"

"That's right, I just ate it. Xiao Fang made the dishes yesterday and the day before yesterday. You don't know how far Xiao Fang's level is from your brother's. Sister Cheng has no choice but to let your brother Come to the rescue." Liang Xiaofen showed a helpless look on her face, and she was really helpless when she met such a serious customer, cooking is a manual operation, even if the same chef cooks dishes, the tastes are not the same, what's more, What's more, different chefs, if you really want to be serious, you can only count the boss as unlucky.

Sun Youchen was full of confidence: "It's okay, my brother can handle it." He found Tian Cheng: "Sister Cheng, I'm on vacation now, and I want to learn how to cook with my brother. I want to help in your shop. , take care of the food."

When Tian Cheng heard that there was an extra free labor, why was he unhappy, and quickly said: "Okay, then you can come and help."

In the kitchen, Xi Chuan had already started cooking. Sun Youchen looked at the menu, and the other party ordered dried shredded eel, steamed rabbit with rice dumplings, sliced ​​husband and wife lungs, and mapo tofu. It takes effort to make good dishes.

Sun Youchen asked: "Brother, how can I help?"

Xi Chuan said to him, "Go and help Xiao Liu wash and chop vegetables."

Sun Youchen then went to find the helper Xiao Liu, who gave him a handful of shallots and asked him to help choose the onions. Sun Youchen looked at the juicy shallots in his hand and couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, every chef started as a handyman Yes, he took the green onion and resignedly chose it, while peeking at Xi Chuan's movements.

Xi Chuan first steamed the rabbit meat with flour, because it was time-consuming and trouble-free, so he didn’t need to worry about steaming it.After the rabbit meat was steamed, he started to make dry fried eel shreds. He killed the eel himself, because Xiao Liu couldn't catch the slippery eel anyway. As soon as the neck was pulled to the end, it was easily cut open, and then the internal organs were removed, boned, and shredded. The action was done in one go. Although it was a bit bloody, his movements were as handsome as flowing clouds and flowing water, and Sun Youchen stopped the movements in his hands.Eels compete with ginseng in the summer heat. Southerners love to eat eels during this season. In the past, Sun Youchen’s father would cook eels for him every time this season came. It seems that he has not eaten eels this year.

After the eel was fragrant, Sun Youchen couldn't help but exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

After hearing this, Xi Chuan said, "I'll do it for you later."

Xiao Liu said enviously, "Your brother is so kind to you!"

"Of course." Sun Youchen laughed very proudly.

When making the eel, Xi Chuan took the time to mix the couple's lung slices. The stewed lung slices were made in advance, but Xi Chuan added the condiments.Husband and wife lung slices came out first, and Tian Cheng personally came to serve the dishes: "What's the next dish?"

Xi Chuan said: "Stir-fried eel, it will be ready soon."

Tian Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and went out with the dishes.Sun Youchen looked out from the crack of the kitchen door, and saw that the two picked up chopsticks and tasted a piece of lung, the woman nodded and said something, Tian Cheng showed a smile on her face, and walked briskly towards the kitchen .

Xiao Fang hurriedly asked: "How is it?" He was the one who made the mistake, so today I have not relaxed my mood.

Tian Cheng smiled and said: "Of course it's okay, Xi Chuan will go out, and one will be worth two. Xiao Fang, you have to learn from Xi Chuan in the future."

Xiao Fang nodded quickly: "I must study hard."

Xi Chuan said, "Stir-fried eel is ready, let's serve."

Tian Cheng tasted it first, it was smooth and refreshing, she nodded in satisfaction, and went out lightly, Sun Youchen even suspected that she was about to fly.Xi Chuan's dishes were cooked one by one, and the smile on Tian Cheng's face became more and more satisfied. Before the meal was over, she came into the kitchen with her mobile phone and said excitedly: "They have already deleted the bad reviews. ! This is all due to you, Xi Chuan, thank you."

Xi Chuan was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "I have finished their dishes, what about today's order?"

"Oh, here, let's do it quickly. It's time to order in a while." Tian Cheng put a stack of menus on the stove.

Xi Chuan glanced at the menu at the top, and then began to wash the pots and stir-fry. Customers finding fault may be a big event for Chihao, but to him it is just a group of customers.

The two guests finally left after eating and drinking. Tian Cheng sent the guests away, and the big rock in his heart was completely relieved: "I hope they will never come to my restaurant to order food again." Who can guarantee that every time Xi Chuan did it for them.

Dapeng said unhappily: "That is, if you insist on dealing with it like this, I don't care if you want to. If you get a few more positive reviews, you will suppress it." As a man in the Northeast, when have you ever been angry like this?

Tian Cheng scolded him: "You said it lightly. If you don't solve the problem, what will they do if they keep giving bad reviews? After all, the business in the store has improved. Have you forgotten the lesson of blood and tears?"

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Sun Youchen probably encountered a similar situation before. He didn't expect to have so much trouble opening a fast food restaurant. It was really not easy to do anything.

This day, besides helping wash the vegetables, Sun Youchen also started to learn how to cut vegetables. He thought cutting vegetables was an easy task, but it turned out to be very difficult. Shredded carrots turned into carrot sticks, and almost cut his fingers.While busy, Xi Chuan took the time to give him instructions: "Don't use carrots when you just learn to shred. Carrots are hard and brittle, so it's not easy to cut. Use potatoes, which are easier to cut. The front part of the knife is used for cutting vegetables, and the back is for chopping vegetables." Bone, relatively blunt. The knife should be cut vertically, and the middle finger joint of the left hand should be used against the back of the knife so as not to cut the hand.”

Sun Youchen did as he said, and found that potatoes are much easier to cut than carrots. Although they can't be shredded yet, at least they can be seen as potato sticks.Looking at his knife skills, Xiao Liu couldn't laugh or cry: "How can you fry this for customers?"

Xi Chuan glanced at it and said, "It's okay, let him cut it, at worst, it will be mashed in a while, and I will make potato pancakes for everyone."

When Sun Youchen heard it, he was immediately happy. No matter what he did, Xi Chuan could help him deal with the aftermath perfectly, so he simply let go of his hands and feet to do it.

At noon that day, Xi Chuan used Sun Youchen's chopped potatoes to make Jinsha Mashed Potatoes and Pan-Fried Potato Cakes. He didn't usually cook these two dishes for everyone, so everyone was very satisfied with them.

During a break of one or two hours after lunch, Xi Chuan taught Sun Youchen how to use a knife by hand, showing him what is a straight knife, flat knife and oblique knife.Xi Chuan seldom cuts vegetables since he became a chef, but after several years of honing, his knife skills have already become proficient, and he cuts vegetables quickly and well, which amazed Sun Youchen.

Although Sun Youchen was a novice, he studied hard, so after one afternoon, he finally cut out a bunch of potato sticks that could barely be called shredded.Xi Chuan used these potato sticks to make spicy potato cakes for everyone. Although the potato cakes made by Xi Chuan were delicious, no one would like one dish.Sun Youchen felt embarrassed, so he tried to eat more and let others eat less. He secretly made up his mind that he had to hurry up and practice his knife skills well, and he couldn't always let everyone eat potatoes.

When he got off work in the evening, he wanted Xi Chuan to ride his bike to the supermarket to buy groceries and go back to practice. Xi Chuan said, "No, I'm tired enough today, go back and have a good rest."

After walking 200 meters from the store, I encountered a small car backing up. The street was a bit narrow, so Xi Chuan stopped and waited for the other party to go first. Unexpectedly, the car not only did not drive away, but stopped instead, and the door opened. A chunky middle-aged man got out of the car and said, "You guys just got off work? Is it convenient? I want to chat with you."
