my boyfriend is a chef

Xi Chuan passed the senior chef qualification certificate test in Beijing last year. If it wasn't for the age limit, he would have taken the test with a technician.It was only then that Sun Youchen remembered that he should also take the exam. Although Xi Chuan said it was okay not to take the exam, after all he would not work for others, but Sun Youchen still decided to take the exam. Xi Chuan is so motivated, so he can’t be too far behind , His current conditions can take an intermediate certificate first.

The Chuan Chuan shop has basically been delivered now, and Sun Youchen doesn’t have to worry about it. The business of the online shop is also showing a growing trend, and another customer service is hired, because the customer service is a bit too busy, and it is even busier when there are promotional events. up.

Sun Youchen rented a studio, and spent some time decorating it. It didn't cost much money, and he bought all the things himself, making it more stylish.The customer service of the online shop moved here to work, and he also cooks and shoots videos here. Now his video production is getting more and more exquisite, and the utensils and tableware are also carefully selected. With the help of Wang Xijun, the post-production It is very artistic and develops towards the direction of fine food.Sun Youchen has learned many dishes in the process of shooting videos, making money and learning.

It should be said that fans in the past paid more attention to the blogger's appearance, but now they are all focused on food, and such fans are more sticky.The increase in Weibo fans has driven the development of the online store and attracted some advertisers. Occasionally, seasoning manufacturers such as mature vinegar and light soy sauce will come to him to advertise, and they can also earn a couple of extra money.

In the summer of this year, Sun Youchen gave himself a half-month vacation, and the Chuan Chuan shop was closed for half a month, allowing everyone to rest. After all, even if the machine has been running for a long time, it must be stopped for maintenance, let alone people.Xiao Shuai was a bit reluctant to part with the business for half a month, but Zhu Xiaohui agreed to take a vacation. He had a girlfriend and agreed to take her out to play.Although Xiao Shuai also learned how to stir-fry hot pot bases, he was short of manpower, and he couldn't support a shop by himself, so he could only agree to take a vacation.

Sun Youchen went to Beijing to see Xi Chuan. Under Xie Qinghua's careful management, Qingyu Restaurant has become very decent. With a fixed source of customers, the number of customers has increased steadily. It is impossible not to say that this can be done in such a big environment. He is very capable.Xi Chuan's culinary skills have also become more and more exquisite, and he has become the signature chef of Qingyu Restaurant. While Sun Youchen is happy for him, he is also a little worried that Xie Qinghua will not let Xi Chuan go when the time comes.

Xi Chuan said: "If you really want to leave, you can still leave, but it may cause unpleasant disturbances."

"We didn't sell ourselves to him. We left as soon as the contract expired. Fortunately, it was signed every three years." Sun Youchen couldn't help but rejoice that the contract was not signed for a long term.

Xi Chuan said with a wry smile: "A while ago, the boss was still looking for me to discuss the renewal of the contract, and he wanted to sign with me for five years."

"Ah? It hasn't expired yet, why do you have to sign the contract again? Have you signed it yet?" Sun Youchen became anxious when he heard that. If Xi Chuan worked here for another five years, wouldn't they have to live apart for another six years?

Xi Chuan shook his head: "I didn't sign it. I plan to stop working until the contract expires." Although Xie Qinghua offered more favorable conditions for dividends, Xi Chuan was unmoved, and Sun Youchen supported the two stores alone. It was too hard, and he wanted to go back as soon as possible to help him share.

Sun Youchen's eyes lit up: "That's until August next year, right?"

"Correct."

"That's great!" Thinking of the hope of their reunion, Sun Youchen couldn't say how happy he was.

"Persevere, I can go back next year." Xi Chuan leaned over and pecked Sun Youchen's lips.

"Hee hee, good!"

After school started, Sun Youchen was in his senior year. Other students were thinking about their future, taking postgraduate entrance examinations or finding a job. Sun Youchen didn’t have to worry about this. He began to think about how to locate his and Xi Chuan’s restaurant, and what kind of shape it would be. Renovation, the amount of pre-investment, market research is also required.

Sun Youchen went to the big restaurants and restaurants in Rongcheng one by one to eat and visit. He found that all the well-run restaurants have their own characteristics. Good taste is the foundation, followed by service and environment.Sun Youchen ate a lot and gained a lot. After returning, he started to make restaurant planning projects.When Xi Chuan comes back, his ideas can be put into action.

On Friday afternoon, Sun Youchen went to the Chuan Chuan shop, before the opening time, Zhu Xiaohui and Xiao Shuai were frying the hot pot ingredients, Liao Wenke was also standing aside, they were discussing something together, when they saw Sun Youchen came, they all stopped and talked with him He greeted: "Boss!" After Xi Chuan was not in the shop, they called Sun Youchen the boss.

Sun Youchen went over to take a look: "Is it fried? Do you want me to help?"

"No, it's almost ready." Xiao Shuai said, "By the way, boss, will you participate in the chef competition?"

"What chef competition?" Sun Youchen asked puzzled.

Liao Wenke turned on his mobile phone and handed it to Sun Youchen: "Look, the scale is not small. Anyone with a chef qualification certificate can sign up. We all plan to try it." Several of them learned from Sun Youchen, this year I took the chef qualification certificate, but they are all elementary.

Sun Youchen took a look at the phone, it said "The [-]st Rongcheng Cup Sichuan Famous Chef Competition", the time is set in early November, with a lot of bonuses, and there is a possibility of being hired by a powerful restaurant with a high salary.Sun Youchen scrolled down and found that there were many familiar restaurants in the organizer, including the five-star hotel that Xi Chuan stayed in before, and Jide Restaurant. Seeing this, Sun Youchen returned the phone to Liao Wenke: "I dont go."

"Why? The prize money for the Gold Award is 1 yuan." Liao Wenke asked puzzled.

Sun Youchen said: "This is a competition organized by Liu Hecheng and those people."

"Who is Liu Hecheng?" Xiao Shuai and Liao Wenke were puzzled.

But Zhu Xiaohui knew: "Really? That's fine, I'm not going either."

"Why are you guys on earth?" Xiao Shuai and Liao Wenke wanted to ask more questions, but Zhu Xiaohui shook his head, signaling them not to ask.

When Sun Youchen was investigating the market, he heard some gossip about Xiaoyayuan. It is said that the head chef of Xiaoyayuan has changed several times one after another, and the business situation is going from bad to worse. Now Liu Hecheng and others hold this competition in partnership to take the opportunity to poach corners. .Knowing that Xiaoyayuan was ruined like this by those bastards, Sun Youchen was heartbroken.

Xiao Shuai and Liao Wenke heard about the conflict between Sun Youchen and Liu Hecheng from Zhu Xiaohui in private, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​signing up. No matter what, they still learned their cooking skills from Xi Chuan, so they can't help their enemies.

Xi Chuan heard Sun Youchen talk about this event: "I just heard about it from the boss. He was invited back to Rongcheng to be a judge and wanted me to sign up for it."

"Then did you agree?" Sun Youchen asked unexpectedly.

Xi Chuan said, "I agree."

Sun Youchen was extremely surprised: "Why? I didn't let Xiao Shuai and the others participate in order not to increase their momentum." He couldn't figure out why Xi Chuan signed up for the competition organized by Liu Hecheng.

Xi Chuan chuckled lightly: "I want them to know how far he is from us. Isn't he trying to poach people? I'm not going! Why don't you sign up too?"

Sun Youchen thought for a while: "Forget it, you should go. Since you are going to slap your face, it is enough for you to be the representative alone. I will be your solid backing." With Xi Chuan's craftsmanship, plus Xie Qinghua As a backing, Xi Chuan will not be treated unfairly during the competition, and he just happens to hit Liu Hecheng in the face with the gold medal.Thinking that Xi Chuan would come back to participate in the competition, Sun Youchen was very excited, and they could meet again.

"Okay, then I will definitely bring back some gold awards to show you."

Sun Youchen heard him talk about several gold awards, so he hurriedly asked, "Which event do you plan to apply for?" This competition is divided into four groups: hot dishes, cold dishes, pasta, and food carving. .

Xi Chuan said: "Submit them all. If you can participate, you can participate. It's best if I win all four gold awards. I'll screw their noses with anger."

"Can you report so much?"

"It didn't say that you can't report it."

So Xi Chuan actually applied for four projects. On November 11st, Xi Chuan and Xie Qinghua flew back to Rongcheng together. The organizing committee of the competition sent a special car to meet him. Xie Qinghua invited him to take the car together, but Xi Chuan refused. He went directly back to Sun Youchen. The two met They were naturally very happy after seeing their face, but they didn't have much time to express their hearts. After all, the game was going to be played the next day, and they had to prepare well according to the requirements of the game. Since they were going to fight in the face, they had to have sufficient preparation and strength.

There were a lot of people signing up for this competition. The competition lasted for four days. The first three days were preliminaries, and the last day was the finals. During the preliminary rounds, the contestants had to solve their own board and lodging problems.

On the first day, the hot dish and cold dish groups competed at the same time.Sun Youchen accompanied Xi Chuan early in the morning. He was a little worried that the competition time of the two groups would conflict. Xi Chuan went to draw a number. The hot dish group got the second group, and the cold dish group was the sixth group. According to the competition The time arrangement was completely in time, and the two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled knowingly.The requirement for hot dishes is to cook two dishes within one hour, one with the specified ingredients tenderloin, and one with optional ingredients, but high-end ingredients such as swallow, wing, abalone, and lobster cannot be used.

With limited time, there is definitely no way to refine it, so it is more important to pay attention to the basic skills of the chef.Xi Chuan didn't think too much about it, and planned to make fish-flavored shredded pork directly, because the theme of the competition is Sichuan flavor, and fish-flavored pork shreds is the most representative Sichuan-flavored dish, and this dish is a test of knife skills, and it also tests the chef's understanding of home cooking. Food processing skills.Another optional dish, Xi Chuan chose fish and planned to make his own snowflake fish.

Xi Chuan entered after the first group of contestants began to comment. The kitchen is in a five-star hotel kitchen, spacious and bright. Of course, there are cameras everywhere to prevent the contestants from cheating.After Xi Chuan came on stage, he quickly started to make preparations. The first thing to deal with was the fish. He deboned and peeled the grass carp, and then chopped it into a puree.The snowflake fish uses the chickpea flower method, just for the sake of ingenuity, the chicken is replaced with fish, and the fish should be chopped into a puree. If it is not delicate enough, the taste of this dish will be compromised, so it takes a lot of effort. The chefs in the same group While cutting vegetables, Xi Chuan was chopping minced meat, and when the chefs in the same group were cooking vegetables, he was still chopping minced meat.

When the processed fish was put into the casserole and simmered on low heat, there were only ten minutes left, and his fish-flavored shredded pork hadn't started yet, but the people around were almost ready, and some people had already prepared it. The dishes were served to the judges for tasting.Xi Chuan calmly took out ingredients such as tenderloin, carrots, and green peppers, and quickly prepared the ingredients with a knife-like phantom technique, and then started to stir-fry them.When the fish-flavored shredded pork comes out of the pot, the snowflake fish stewed in the casserole can just be turned off. He boiled the small rapeseed in boiling water, took it out and put it in a large bowl, and then poured the bean curd-shaped fish soup in the casserole into the large bowl. In the bowl, sprinkle with minced ham, and it was cooked perfectly, and finally the bell rang.

Xi Chuan calmly brought his dishes to the judges' table, and asked the judges to taste and rate.Seeing Xi Chuan, Xie Qinghua, who was sitting in the judge's seat, couldn't help but smile slightly, while Liu Hecheng, who was also sitting in the judge's seat, couldn't help but frowned when he saw Xi Chuan.
