Chapter 59 The Bad Cook

The main course was over, and in the kitchen, Huo Zian's work came to an end and he stopped.I didn't feel anything when I was devoted to work before, but now I'm starting to get nervous.The dinner this time was different from the neighbors in the banquet alley. The people who came were all experts. If there was a slight mistake or sloppy handling, they could immediately see it.This is related to the reputation and location of the restaurant in Beijing. If it is not done well, the road ahead will be even more difficult.

When Huo Zian was feeling anxious, You Liangchen walked in.He looked at Yu Liangchen, and found that his face was rarely tired. He thought, Yu Liangchen really tried his best. For him, it is not easy to deal with people outside.

He wanted to comfort him, and also wanted to be relieved. When he came to him, he held his palm and squeezed it lightly.Then the two of them didn't say a word, and went about their business.

Huo Zian walked to the outfield and looked at Qiu Xinzhi first.Qiu Xinzhi smiled at him with a relaxed face.Huo Zian heaved a sigh of relief, and poured sparkling wine for the guests one by one.

The second time he came out to meet guests, Huo Zian got closer to them all of a sudden.Food is a wonderful catalyst, after eating Huo Zian's meal, they seem to have a friendship with Huo Zian.They no longer said those innocuous polite words, and they didn't even talk about the meal, but started chatting about gossip in the catering industry, Huo Zian's experience, Beijing's fucking atmosphere, which restaurant is delicious, and so on.

Amidst the small talk, dessert arrived.The first is the delicate "Donkey Rolling", a cake made of glutinous rice flour, wrapped in chocolate and cherry sauce, and rolled with turmeric powder and brown sugar on the outside.Then the waiter brought another half of a small unicorn melon, the flesh scooped out, made into watermelon rum ice cream, packed back into the rind, and topped with a thin sprinkle of vanilla salt.

These desserts are seasonal and cool, not too sweet, and not as complex and thick as the desserts in general French restaurants.Most of the northern men at this dinner, few like desserts, but all these foods were eaten up.

At the end, the green tea brewed with acacia flower and Longjing was frozen and served to the table with the slightly sweet mung bean cake.After taking a sip of tea, the smell of acacia flowers on the table seemed to suddenly become stronger.

The restaurant gradually became quiet.People are really full and lazy, as if entertainment is superfluous, they all start to immerse themselves in the aftertaste of Sophora japonica.

Before leaving, Mr. Ke said to Huo Zi'an: "Chef, if I ask you to do a show, I don't even know how to define you. It's not the most orthodox French cuisine, nor is it a nonsensical fusion cuisine. If you want to talk about localization , not very thoroughly. But what can be defined is usually boring as hell. I had a very comfortable meal, thank you."

Huo Zi felt relieved and shook hands with him.This sentence moved him even more than actually inviting him to do the show.At this time, he forgot Ke Lao's identity, and regarded him as a diner, just like all other ordinary diners—for a chef, isn't it all his value to let the diners have a good experience?

Huo Zian felt that the busyness during this period had deserved results.He shook hands with everyone and said goodbye to Qiu Xinzhi. When he reached Qiu Xinzhi, he took a step forward, hugged him, and said, "Thanks for your hard work, editor-in-chief. You should drive here, find a replacement driver, and don't drive yourself after drinking. "

Qiu Xinzhi patted him on the back, "Hey, Chef, I'm really not used to you caring about me so much, why don't I leave tonight?"

Huo Zian showed a bright smile: "Good night, chief editor, get lost!"

Qiu Xinzhi let out a "hey" and said with a smile, "You're so stingy." Then he whispered in Huo Zian's ear, "Take care of your little one, he might not be in a good mood."

Huo Zian was taken aback for a moment - did little baby mean You Liangchen?Yu Liangchen is in a bad mood?

"It's done!" Everyone clinked their glasses happily.Beer overflowed from the bottle and flowed onto the backs of their hands, icy cold.

Everyone was in a state of tension that night, for fear that if they lost the chain, all their efforts would be in vain.Fortunately, the process went smoothly tonight, and most of the plates sent back from the outfield were clean; the food was eaten up, and this is the truest evaluation of them.

Wei Guoen was in charge of supper and cooked a big pot of egg noodles with tomatoes.As soon as the noodles were taken out, everyone felt hungry. They couldn't wait to get the bowl, so they picked out the noodles from the big pot with chopsticks and put them in their mouths.

Huo Zian was also hungry.But he still remembered You Liangchen in his heart.Ever since the guest left, You Liangchen didn't know where to hide.After a few thoughts, he decided to visit the locust tree.

Haimo stopped him, "Are you looking for You Liangchen?"

Huo Zian faced her, embarrassed to admit it, but unable to deny it, and didn't know how to respond.

Haimo laughed: "I'll go find him, I'm not hungry, you eat noodles."

Huo Zi'an felt guilty, so he didn't refuse.Seeing Haimo walk out of the courtyard gate, he suddenly felt no hunger. He stared blankly at everyone happily sucking noodles, and his mind was as muddleheaded as that ball of tomato sauce.

Hai Mo didn't know where You Liangchen would go, so he walked to the square and saw You Liangchen hiding behind a tree.Surprised, she leaned over to see what happened.

You Liangchen was also taken aback when he heard someone approaching suddenly, and leaned out from behind the tree with a hammer.

Haimo asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

You Liangchen was a little surprised to see it was Haimo.He turned from behind the tree: "Fix my ladder."

Haimo thought for a while before combining the ladder with the picture in front of him.She looked up and saw protrusions on the tree trunk, winding upwards, and a small gas lamp was hung on one of them, emitting a white light.

"Ladder?" Haimer asked curiously, "Is it used to climb trees?"

You Liangchen let out a "huh".

Haimer felt fresh: "Why did you climb the tree?"

You Liangchen didn't answer.Haimo laughed and said, "You are just like Uncle You, very interesting."

You Liangchen couldn't figure out how to get along with Haimo.He didn't feel bad for her, and he didn't particularly want to be close to her, but because she was Zi'an's girlfriend, he felt the need to treat her better.

He said, "It's too late, let's go back."

"Your ladder?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing him take down the gas lamp, Haimo said, "Climb up because you're in a bad mood?"

You Liangchen turned to look at her, "No."

"You are not happy today."

You Liangchen lied with difficulty: "No, you think too much."

"Did I upset you?" Haimer wrinkled his nose, looking like a teenage girl again.

You Liangchen felt uncomfortable when he told a lie once, but he couldn't deny it the second time.Holding a gas lamp, he walked ahead without speaking.

Haimer didn't intend to end the topic, "Are you unhappy that I changed the red wine for the guest?"

You Liangchen waved his hand: "No. You're right, business is just like that, I'm too old."

"Two? Two in one, two, three, four, what do you mean?"

You Liangchen laughed: "Second, my brain is not working. At that time, I just thought about what Huo Zian would do."

Haimo said: "Zian's temper is worse than yours, if you say something wrong, you will have a fight."

You Liangchen was taken aback, he never thought that Huo Zian had a bad temper, but sometimes Zian was stubborn, and it was difficult to change what he believed.You Liangchen was indeed unhappy because Haimo easily compromised with the guests and changed the red wine.He remembered that Zian had told him that when he was not on the outfield, he would be his substitute. He put himself in the shoes of Huo Zian and thought that if Huo Zian was on the outfield, he would definitely put the best tasting effect of the food first, and would not easily agree to the request of the guests.

"Has he ever had a fight with a guest? I haven't seen it."

"Ah, he became the boss, so it's different. Zi'an used to be a chef, and he was very stubborn about the dishes he cooked, like a work of art. Others can like it or not, but they can't add other colors in the middle, nor can they It can be zoomed in and zoomed out."

"There's nothing wrong with him thinking that way."

Haimo looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "You like him very much."

You Liangchen was slightly startled, didn't know how to answer, and felt uncomfortable.Haimer continued: "The waiters don't like a chef like him. The waiters like a chef who can do everything for the guests, so that they can easily serve the guests."

You Liangchen disagreed, he didn't expect Huo Zian to be that kind of chef in his heart. "Zian has his own ideas, and it would be boring without ideas."

"But customers also have their own ideas, they are the ones who pay." Haimo said lightly, "Fine restaurants are very expensive, and many people come to eat in such expensive restaurants because of a very important day for them, celebrating birthdays, Anniversaries, marriage proposals, wanting to please someone they like, or to please themselves. They pay a lot for a meal like this, why can't they have their own ideas? They are not perfect guests and have no responsibility to be perfect guests , some people like to put ketchup on their steaks, some like to add soda to their wine, they will be in a bad mood, feel bad about eating everything, or because of habit, add a lot of salt. They are happy, nothing Can't."

You Liangchen imagined that if the guests dared to pour ketchup on the steak, Huo Zian would definitely go crazy.He read his notes, and in order to find the most suitable seasoning, he tried [-] or [-] different salts, and the ratio of salt to oil, and he tried [-] or [-] times.He has carefully considered the balance of taste and the optimal temperature of each dish, and all these efforts were smeared by the tomato sauce.

"Zian would not want such a guest."

"The guests he wants, are in his head, not in the restaurant. He won't find 100% of the guests he wants!"

Haimo's tone of voice was unusually aggravated, You Liangchen couldn't help but stop and looked at Haimo.Haimer's voice softened: "But, we are in the restaurant, and we can help him create such guests."

Yu Liangchen: "I don't understand."

"Zian is the worst chef, like an artist, with works in his head. The worst chefs I have ever seen are bad chefs, because they won't give up on themselves. It'sagift, It'sacurse. We can do it , is to protect him, give him the peace of mind to do what he wants to do in the kitchen."

Haimo's words fell into his heart like raindrops, "Should we deal with those guests?"

"That's right, we can give the guests ketchup, and then you can wipe the plate clean, or throw it in the trash can, as long as Zian can't see it," Haimo joked. "The wall in front of your house, you call it..."

"Zhaobi?"

"Zhaobi, by the way, like Zhaobi, help him block it. He doesn't need to know that there are such guests. Such guests have nothing to do with his creation. He only needs to know that he is very good. His works will give us boring, Repeated and repeated life is exciting, there are new experiences. He just knows that."

Yu Liangchen lowered his head.Haimo looked at him: "It's hard. Before, I didn't understand why Zi'an chose you. You didn't seem to want to be a waiter. Now... I know, his choice may be right, because you didn't feel that Zi'an chose you. It's bad," Haimo laughed, "but I don't know, do you want to protect Zi'an? To protect Zi'an, you have to become very powerful, even stronger than him, so you can separate it, what? Things can go to him, and things can be thrown into the trash can. It’s hard to die, isn’t it?”

You Liangchen took out the cigarette and put it in his mouth.He didn't think about his relationship with Zi'an from this level. He would stay in the restaurant, firstly, to avoid confrontation with his mother, and secondly, to avoid embarrassing Zi'an. The curtain that Haimo untied for him made him suddenly feel , he was only blocking his mother for Zi'an, but now standing in front of him is ketchup, Sprite, Lao Ganma, Lao Li... the whole world.

He really wants to do this?

Yu Liangchen said: "I'm not that powerful."

Haimer stretched out his hand, "Can you give me a cigarette?"

You Liangchen gave her a cigarette and lit it for her.Haimo took two puffs, his brows furrowed deeply, looking very painful.You Liangchen remembered that Zian had told him that Haimo had a nose problem and had no sense of smell.

Haimer held the cigarette in his hand, and stretched his brows: "It's okay, it's not what you should do. I'm sorry, my words put pressure on you? I can't do it either. In restaurants, I often think about how to sell more Too much wine, how to sell the wine I like to others, and how to make the diners happier. I hope I don’t meet a chef like Zian.” Haimo laughed again.

Her smiles are really varied, Yu Liangchen thought, the charming in the idiom does not refer to appearance, but like Haimo, every posture is playful and flexible, making people's eyes hard to catch up with.

Haimo took a drag on his cigarette, and his smile darkened.Yu Liangchen: "If you don't want to smoke, then don't smoke. If you can't smell it, the smoke will be bitter."

Haimo frowned exaggeratedly, "Well, it's so bitter." But she didn't throw away the cigarette, and when she reached the restaurant door, she let Yu Liangchen go in by herself, and continued to smoke by herself sitting next to the stone lion.

You Liangchen looked back at her, seeing her drooping eyebrows, she stopped smiling completely.She is no longer like a girl in her teens, nor is she a mature woman in her 30s, but she has aged ten years all of a sudden.You Liangchen really doesn't understand why she always forces herself to do painful things?But he was just curious, and he didn't have a reason to know, and he didn't want to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

He stubbed out his cigarette and walked back into the dining room.
