After wearing a book, I rely on cooking to save the BE male protagonist

"Waiter, is there any activity in your restaurant? Why is it so lively?"

I saw that in the lobby of the famous Fengxiang Hotel in City A, the tables and benches that had been placed in the past had been cleared away to leave a wide space. There were some chef-like people standing neatly on the space, and the tables in front of them were placed with their works.

As the cover of the dinner plate was lifted, the hall was filled with the smell of food.

An unsmiling man in a suit and leather shoes is trying to eat one by one from left to right.

A lot of people crowded around the circled venue, including guests who came to dine, service staff who were free, and passers-by who watched the excitement.

"This, it's selecting a chef for Mr. Nan!"

The waiter looked at the young man in front of him. He had a handsome face and clear eyes. He looked like he had just graduated from university and hadn't stepped into the society yet.

"Mr. Nan?" The young man murmured, and then smiled, "Then, may I participate in the selection competition?"

The waiter was a little surprised.

Ah, this?

The young man looks fresh and clean, doesn't he look like a chef who spends all day with oil fume?

But since he is going to sign up, there must be two reasons, and he can't just come here to mess around after hearing Mr. Nan's name.

The waiter's good professionalism didn't make him show any inappropriateness on the surface. He looked back at the young man without any trace, with a standard smile on his face and stretched out an arm.

"Of course, please follow me here to sign up."

On the stage, Secretary Zhang, who tasted several dishes carefully prepared by the chef, kept his face sullen.

All the dishes he tasted were made by well-known chefs in various big restaurants, but he was still not satisfied.He didn't have any special requirements for these dishes. To be honest, he thought these dishes were all delicious.

The problem is only his boss, Nan Ting Ji.

The boss is extremely picky about food and difficult to serve.

It is best not to use ingredients that are not the freshest, not greasy, not too spicy, too bland or too salty.Rao is a delicacy that other people think is perfect, but he can find all kinds of faults.

The old chef who was able to enter his mouth before was too old to hold a spoon. He had already retired from Nan's family a month ago. He has been looking for a new chef for the past month.

However, none of the chefs he carefully selected could satisfy the boss.

Seeing that Mr. Nan has been putting on a handsome face to his subordinates all day long because he can't eat or sleep well, it makes them tremble, fearing that he might accidentally do something wrong and offend this master.No, the few of them as subordinates came up with such a way to select chefs.

Secretary Zhang pointed to several chefs: "You, you, and you, stay here until the next round of selection, and the others can leave." Then he said to the people next to him, "Next batch."

Another batch of cooks and waiters came up quickly, and after setting out the dishes, Secretary Zhang still tasted one by one.

Nothing surprising, his eyes remained calm until he lifted the cover of the dinner plate and found a stir-fried seasonal vegetable.

Which of the chefs who participated in the selection did not use their housekeeping skills to cook the most delicious and exquisite dishes, such as steak, abalone, seafood, foie gras, no matter how bad it is, it is also a meat dish.

The stir-fried seasonal vegetables in front of me can be seen that the main ingredients are cabbage, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, peas, etc., red and green.

Is there anything special about this?

Secretary Zhang took a closer look, and saw that the plate was crystal red and clear green, the peas, round like green agates, were dotted among the tender green cabbage and carrots, and the shiitake mushrooms were of high quality, stained with Tempting juice.

He picked up a piece of shiitake mushroom and put it in his mouth. The moment the tip of his tongue touched, all the taste buds were awakened, and he tasted the delicious juice wrapped in the shiitake mushroom. As the shiitake mushroom was pushed between his teeth by his tongue, he took a light bite. This comes from The taste of the mountains, the mellow taste!

tasty!Ba Shi!

Secretary Zhang, who had only tasted one bite in the previous interview, picked up another piece of cabbage. The mushrooms are so delicious, so I must try other ones. Who knows that it was a pleasant surprise, and then picked up a carrot with chopsticks, and ate it A few peas.

This is the taste of mountains, forests, wind, and sunshine.

He felt that all the food he had eaten for 28 years was in vain!Zhang Xinwei has never eaten such delicious vegetables!

Secretary Zhang pinched it again and again with a happy expression on his face, until he saw the bottom of the plate before realizing that he had lost his composure.With a light cough, he raised his head and looked at the person who made this dish.

What came into view was a fair and delicate face with a little childishness, with a slight smile on the corner of the mouth.

Is that what he did?so young?

Secretary Zhang was slightly stunned.

He thought that the person who made this extremely delicious food would be a senior chef.

He observed the young man, and the young man was also looking at him with tea-brown eyes.

"name."

"...When fried vegetables."

"Hey, I'm asking for your name, what's your name?"

"Oh," the young man blushed in embarrassment, "My name is Ji Yao."

Ji Yao, he remembered.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first round of assessment. You can go down and prepare for the second round later."

Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up a little, he bowed slightly, and said cheerfully, "Okay, thank you."

Secretary Zhang nodded slightly to him, and then continued with his own tasting work, but he couldn't feel the deliciousness behind it, his mouth was full of the deliciousness of the simple stir-fried seasonal vegetables just now.

Really memorable.

After eating such delicious food, how can we appreciate the following dishes?

So soon another round of people was rejected.

When it was almost noon, there were more than 100 chefs participating in the competition, but only twelve people remained in the end.

Secretary Zhang called people together and explained the rules of the second round.

"The second round will be checked by our president himself. Each person will cook two dishes, both meat and vegetables, and I will give you half an hour to prepare."

The CEO personally checks it out, so he will see Nan Tingju soon?

Ji Yao rubbed the emerald gourd hanging around his neck through his clothes, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, his eyes sparkled, sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

"Do you need me to help you get any ingredients?"

In the back kitchen, the waiter asked Ji Yao politely.

"No thanks, I'll get it myself."

In order to save time, chefs will instruct waiters or assistants to do things that do not require skills and are time-consuming, such as picking up ingredients.

The waiter took it for granted that the man in front of him belonged to the latter, and handed over the basket with interest.

"Then is there anything else I need to do?"

Ji Yao took the basket, and just thought he couldn't say it, but then thought about it: "Can you steam rice?"

"Ah?" The waiter thought he heard it wrong, but the man in front of him looked at him seriously, "Yes."

"That's great," Ji Yao handed him a bottle of water, "Use this water to steam the rice, don't steam it too wet."

The waiter took the bottle and nodded in a daze.

Ji Yao smiled at him: "Thank you, let's go, we only have half an hour."

The waiter nodded again, and went to find rice and a rice cooker.When he finished scouring the rice, put it into the rice cooker, then poured the water in the bottle to cover the rice grains, then turned off the rice cooker and set the timer. He didn't react until a series of processes were completed.

The kitchen water here is comparable to mineral water. Why did the man bring a bottle of water for steaming rice?

I don't understand, but he just did it anyway.

In the ingredients area here, Ji Yao was bending over with a basket in one hand, and picked and picked vegetables with the other hand, but he seemed unsatisfied, the basket was still empty.

After the number of people around gradually decreased, Ji Yao took out the jade gourd from his neck and rubbed it with his eyes closed.

When he opened his eyes again, there were already many things in the basket.

Chives, ginger, a few cloves of garlic, peas, onions, carrots, goji berries, two eggs, and even a fresh crucian carp.

From closing eyes to opening eyes, it's just a snap of the fingers, so fast that no one notices that these things are all out of thin air.

But something was missing, Ji Yao bent down and took out a piece of soft tofu from the shelf.

Time is limited, so make do with this one.

After the crucian carp is cleaned up, draw three knives on each side of the body, spread it evenly with a small amount of salt, and sprinkle a small amount of cooking wine.Cut the tofu into cubes, finely chop the onion and ginger and set aside.Heat the oil in a pan, fry the fish until golden on both sides, add the onion, ginger and garlic, sauté until fragrant, pour water, and add cooking wine.Bring to a boil on high heat, add tofu and goji berries when the soup turns white, then simmer on low heat.

After waiting for a while, the rice was ready, and Ji Yao started to cook another dish.

Dice the onions and carrots for later use, beat the eggs and stir-fry them with cold oil in a hot pan, then set aside for later use.Brush oil in the pan again, add onion, diced carrots and peas and stir-fry. After the fry is half mature, pour in the rice that has been aired for a while.After the rice is fried, add an appropriate amount of salt, pepper and light soy sauce, pour in the fried eggs, and stir fry evenly over high heat.Wait until the rice grains are golden and the grains are distinct, then sprinkle with chopped green onion.

After simmering and covering for 3 minutes, put it on a plate, and a serving of mixed fried rice is completed.

During the period, Ji Yao also added a small amount of salt to the crucian carp tofu soup stewed slowly next door.

After simmering for a few more minutes, the salt has tasted, stop the heat, sprinkle chopped green onion and chicken essence, take it out of the pot, and it's done.

The time is just right.

The waiter carefully carried the food to the private room on the second floor, and Ji Yao followed suit. The closer he got to the door of the private room, the faster his heart beat.

The person sitting in this luxurious private room is Nan Ting Ji, the living Nan Ting Ji!

The moment he entered the private room, Ji Yao's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

In an elegant, spacious and bright private room, a man was sitting at a large round table, with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, handsome facial features, thin lips tightly closed, and he was not angry.Xu Shi was not satisfied with the dishes on the table, and exuded a depressing aura around him. Secretary Zhang behind him was trembling, and the chefs were also watching their hearts.

Ji Yao's assorted fried rice and crucian carp tofu soup were lifted and placed in front of Nan Tingxi.

Seeing that it was Ji Yao, Secretary Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, then stared at the man in front of him closely, and Ji Yao also stared at this man.

Excitement, anticipation, tension, excitement, all kinds of feelings came to my heart.

It wasn't until he saw the real person Nantingju that he had a sense of reality in this world.
