my boyfriend is a chef

At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, Sun Youchen and Xi Chuan got up and went to the store. There was no way, there were too many things to deal with, and the cold dishes had to be marinated now, otherwise it would be too late.The kitchen needs to be prepared early, and the hall on the first floor also needs to be arranged, because the wedding ceremony is held here.

It was a completely hectic day, Sun Youchen led the waiters to set up outside, and Xi Chuan led the chefs to be busy in the kitchen, preparing the delicacies for noon.Xi Chuan is experienced in making banquets, but in the past, he was only responsible for a few dishes when preparing a banquet, but now he has to coordinate the overall situation, which is not an easy task.

Sun Youchen had never arranged the wedding scene, but fortunately, at [-] o'clock, the groom's house also arranged for people to come and prepare. Everyone was busy together, making suggestions, and finally arranged the venue before the arrival of the guests.All the decorations used as partitions in the hall on the first floor were removed, and the tables were covered with tablecloths, which looked neat and unified. The temporary stage was also set up and arranged. The whole hall has a new look, completely like a wedding scene.

After ten o'clock, guests came one after another.The guests were all discussing in low voices. The guests were notified last night that the hotel address had been temporarily changed. Some of them only received the notification this morning. Whether it was this morning or last night, they were extremely hasty. No wonder There was a lot of discussion at the meeting. It is estimated that the guests felt that the newlyweds' house was too much trouble, and they were still changing the hotel when they were about to arrive, so they all had the mentality of watching the wedding banquet as a joke. Unexpectedly, the environment of the changed hotel was not bad.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, the newcomer finally made his debut, and the living room became lively.At the moment, Sun Youchen is helping prepare the dishes for the wedding banquet in the kitchen. Even if there are more than a dozen dishes, it will take at least two hours to prepare them all. What's more, the dishes must be served in the shortest time. The original manpower in the kitchen is actually not enough. Therefore, Xi Chuan also invited Master Lin, the former chief chef of Xiaoyayuan, to help him, and Sun Youchen also called several colleagues from the Chuan Chuan shop to help.Thanks to Xi Chuan's ability, the two experienced chefs in the kitchen, and the help of Lao Lin, there was nothing wrong with it.

The wedding outside was finally coming to an end, and the host came over to say hello and let the food be served.Sun Youchen took off his apron, led more than a dozen waiters and began to serve dishes. The cold dishes and brine platters were served first.China is a society of human feelings. When people eat wedding wine, the form is often greater than the meaning of the food itself. They drink wedding wine not because of how fragrant the wine is or how delicious the food is, but because of human feelings that cannot be avoided. Red envelopes are indispensable. Under the circumstances, people didn't show up, and the wine didn't drink, but the red envelopes had to be there.

Therefore, most of the guests who came to the wedding banquet today came with the mentality of repaying favors. They didn't have much expectation for the wedding banquet, because most of the banquets tasted nothing more than that.Even the host family has never eaten in Chenchuan, they just searched for an emergency place temporarily, no matter what, just deal with this meal.The cold dishes and platters that are served now look no different from those of other restaurants. The guests did not have any expectations. The first reaction was: "Hey, this dish seems to be pretty good."

When other people heard it, they picked up vegetables with chopsticks suspiciously, and couldn't stop eating once, so the whole hall was full of happy people eating happily.Sun Youchen led the waiters to deliver the first hot dish. The first dish was braised pork elbow, which is a homonym for red and "hong", which means auspiciousness.The braised elbow is crispy and soft, fat but not greasy, it melts in the mouth, and is divided up by the guests one by one with chopsticks as soon as it is served, no one thinks it is fat.After eating the cold dishes and the first hot dish, everyone finally realized that the taste of this restaurant is really good today, and they couldn't help but start to look forward to the following dishes.

When Sun Youchen brought the second hot dish, Baked Lobster in Soup, to the table, he found that the plates that had been served before were all cleared. Everyone was staring eagerly at the new dish brought by the waiter. As soon as it was on the table, everyone waited impatiently. He turned the plate in front of him.Seeing this scene, Sun Youchen had to speed up serving the dishes until the fifth dish was served, only to find that there were finally leftovers on the plate. It is estimated that everyone was somewhat full after eating, and they were no longer as turbulent as before.What Sun Youchen and the waiters heard the most today was "today's dish is well done" and "the food in this restaurant tastes pretty good".

It wasn't until all the dishes were served that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In the hall, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, and the waiters quietly retreated to the side to rest.The chefs in the kitchen were so tired that they were about to collapse. They had been cooking non-stop all morning, and now they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Sun Youchen entered the kitchen and expressed his gratitude and condolences to everyone, while Xi Chuan silently turned on the stove: "Thank you for your hard work today, let me cook the lunch."

Everyone clapped excitedly when they heard it. Xi Chuan is the best chef in the store, but he rarely cooks for everyone. Except for customers and Sun Youchen, employees rarely have the opportunity to eat his dishes. Now that I am willing to cook for everyone, I am naturally looking forward to it.Sun Youchen said, "Brother Chuan, I'll help you."

Xi Chuan said, "No, I'll just cook one dish."

"Then let me help you." Sun Youchen felt that it was too hard for Xi Chuan to cook for more than thirty people by himself.

Xi Chuan smiled and said, "No, everything is ready. I don't do anything else, just make a big pot of chowder." He turned on the fire, set up a big pot, and started cooking. There were a total of There were sixteen dishes, and there were some leftover ingredients prepared in the kitchen, so Xi Chuan stewed the remaining ingredients in a pot.

Chowder is not easy to cook, because the characteristics of each ingredient are different. If you don't control it well, it will be easy to cook into a pot of mess.However, Xi Chuan obviously doesn't have this problem. He has a clear understanding of the characteristics of each ingredient. He is particular about how to handle each ingredient and when to cook it.Lao Lin was sitting there to rest, but after a while, he also came to watch him cook, and other people in the kitchen also surrounded him.

After Xi Chuan finished frying all the dishes, he poured the rice wine and broth into the pot and covered the big pot with a lid: "Okay, it's almost done after half an hour of stewing."

"There are still dishes left." Someone pointed to the remaining dishes on the counter.

Xi Chuan said: "Put this one later, a few minutes before it comes out of the pot, otherwise it will be old and not tasty."

Sun Youchen asked: "Have you ever done this before?"

Xi Chuan smiled and said, "No, just do it based on feeling."

This makes everyone look forward to it. Everyone works in the kitchen and is used to the smell of all kinds of vegetables and meat, but the smell of stewing chowder still makes everyone's greedy. It's a bit like stewed meat Some people even let out a long "goo--" in their stomachs, which made everyone laugh.

While waiting for the chowder to come out, the wedding banquet outside was finally coming to an end. The groom’s parents found Sun Youchen to pay for the final payment. They grabbed Sun Youchen’s hand to express their gratitude. Today’s wedding banquet was really an unexpected surprise. The guests were very satisfied with their meal, which made them face in front of their relatives and friends.Originally, many people came here with the mentality of watching the host's house lively, and when they finally left, they all said that they were very happy to eat. Although there were not many delicacies in this meal, the effect was better than a table full of delicacies. They really didn't Picked the wrong place.

Sun Youchen is naturally very happy. Although he is a bit busy and tired, it is a great sense of accomplishment to get 100% satisfaction and affirmation from customers.The bride and groom also came over to thank each other in person, and the couple's family brought a lot of wedding candy to Sun Youchen, saying that it was a hard work for the shop assistants, and please everyone eat candy.

Sun Youchen went in with wedding candies, and each employee gave out a bag: "The newcomers invite everyone to eat wedding candies."

Xi Chuan said, "All the guests have left? Then let's serve dinner." He lifted the lid off the pot, and the room was filled with a strange aroma. He sprinkled the last condiments, and the stewed vegetables were placed in a large basin. Everyone couldn't wait to serve the dishes with big spoons, let's put it in a bowl first, not to mention, the taste of this chowder is really special, the various flavors penetrate each other, adding another flavor, everyone is full of praise.

This wedding banquet brought an excellent reputation to Chenchuan Hotel. Within a few days, the hotel received two reservations for banquets, both in the twelfth lunar month, a birthday banquet and a housewarming banquet. There was another guest who had a wedding banquet here a few days ago, and another one was strongly recommended by relatives and friends after the wedding banquet here.Although hosting banquets is tiring, both Sun Youchen and Xi Chuan like it. It is much more profitable than receiving individual customers. It is best if the banquets are full every day in the twelfth lunar month. If you earn it for a month, even if you don’t open it in February and March Don't be afraid.Sun Youchen felt that this would happen sooner or later, after they became famous, they probably would have nothing to do when the twelfth lunar month came.

In October, a new issue of the gourmet magazine edited by Lu Zhenyou was published, and I brought a few copies to Xi Chuan, which contained a full-page interview and promotion for Chenchuan Restaurant, praising Xi Chuan as a new star in the Sichuan cuisine world.

I don’t know if it’s because of the publicity effect or the peak season. The business of Chenchuan Hotel is getting better day by day, and the occupancy rate is gradually approaching 100%. It can turn tables on weekends, and order meals every weekend. The phone kept ringing because there were no seats anytime soon.

As the weather gets colder day by day, the business of Chenchuan Hotel is getting better and better, and more and more banquets are booked. More than ten banquets have been booked out in the twelfth lunar month, and dozens of tables of New Year's Eve dinner are just in the twelfth lunar month. It was all booked from the start.

This year, Xi Chuan can't go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Xi Chuan's parents know that making money is important, but they still say: "You haven't been at home to celebrate the New Year for several years."

Xi Chuan said: "There's no way, that's how I work. I'll be back in the first year of junior high school, and I'm in Rongcheng this year, so it's convenient to go home."

Mother Xi said: "Don't just focus on making money, you have to solve your own life-long affairs, don't delay it year after year."

Xi Chuan's most troublesome problem came again. He glanced at Sun Youchen and said, "I've just started my career, so what's the rush?"

"What's the hurry? You're already thirty, do you still think you're young? Don't plan to get married yet? When are you going to wait?" Mother Xi is really anxious, her son will soon be 30 years old, and there is no sign of getting married. She doesn't look bad, and earns a lot, so why don't girls like her.

Xi Chuan said: "It's not something I can settle if I want to. I don't have a house or a car. Which woman would want to marry a man who has nothing? Wait for two years. My business has just started to improve. , Wait until I buy a house before thinking about getting married."

Sun Youchen who was drawing a picture immediately pricked up his ears.

Over there, Mother Xi persuaded her son earnestly: "If you wait any longer, you will be old. Chuan, even if you don't get married now, you should still have friends. You can get married again in two years."

Xi Chuan said: "I know, I will pay attention to those I like. Don't talk about it, I'm going to get busy."

Hanging up the phone, I found that Sun Youchen was resting his chin on his knee and looking at him helplessly: "Auntie urged you to get married?"

Xi Chuan felt that Sun Youchen looked like a pitiful puppy, so he stretched out his hand and pinched his face: "Don't worry, first use the procrastination formula to delay for two years, and when Yuanyuan gets married, we will find a suitable opportunity to talk about it. "

Sun Youchen scratched his head, this is always a big problem, no parents would be happy to see their son with a man, after a while he said: "Brother, how about letting uncles and aunts come to Rongcheng to celebrate the New Year this year. Grandma will pick them up too, and we'll make them a delicious meal."

Xi Chuan froze for a moment, then shook his head: "How can that be done, they will definitely not agree, besides, there is no place to live."

Sun Youchen sighed: "That's right, let's buy a house next year, a big one, so that we can take over our uncles, aunts and grandma."

Xi Chuan smiled: "It's okay to buy a house, as for whether they will come or not, let's talk about it. Okay, go to sleep."

Sun Youchen lay down next to Xi Chuan, and put his arms around his arm: "How about, I won't go to your house during Chinese New Year this year, you can go back by yourself."

"What's wrong?" Xi Chuan turned to look at him.

Sun Youchen said embarrassingly: "I always feel sorry for my uncle and aunt for abducting their son."

Xi Chuan laughed out loud: "It's not sure who will kidnap who. Little brains know how to think wildly, so go to sleep now!"
