wood, bring me here

Regent Hotel, a five-star hotel in City D, is one of the best in this city whether it is a luxurious appearance, perfect internal facilities, or a series of supporting services such as services.

When the hotel staff heard that Manager Li's friends, who were demanding and picky, were applying for the chef job, they were all very curious, and they all ran to the kitchen to see what happened.

So, when Li Jie returned to the kitchen, the place was already completely surrounded.Whether it's inside or outside the kitchen, it's just as hot.

Seeing the situation at the scene, Li Jie frowned slightly, and then raised his voice: "Except for the people in the catering department, everyone else should return to their jobs immediately, otherwise the full attendance for this month will be deducted..."

Hearing the order from the man who was more difficult than the boss, everyone showed painful expressions on their faces: "Manager Li, don't bring such things..."

Someone yelled: "That's right, anyway, it's lunch break time, let's take a look at it for a while..."

Li Jie's exquisite face turned cold, and his long and narrow eyes stared: "Hurry up!"

Seeing this, a group of onlookers dispersed immediately, and the bustling kitchen door became quiet in an instant.

In the huge kitchen, heat waves roiled.In the air, all kinds of food and oily smoke smell mixed together.

Every month, Li Jie will accompany the manager of the catering department to inspect the kitchen, but so far, he still cannot get used to the special smell of oily smoke in the kitchen.

Frowning subconsciously, Li Jie walked straight behind the man whose back was facing him.

The man was wearing a chef's uniform, and was holding a kitchen knife, cutting vegetables skillfully. The kitchen knife made a regular "duk-duk" sound when it touched the cutting board.

After cutting the vegetables, he picked up the herring that was put aside, quickly cut it open, took out the internal organs and intestines, avoided the big bones of the fish, and sliced ​​the whole fish into thin slices.

At this time, the pot next to it was steaming, and the man quickly opened the pot and put the fish fillets in, stirring constantly with a spoon.

Silently watching the man's concentration, the expression on Li Jie's face remained unchanged.

Although he had tasted the dishes made by men several times, they were all eaten when he went to Li An's house.Every time, he went there very reluctantly and hurried home after eating. As for the appearance of a man cooking, he has almost never seen it.

Today, however, he was standing in the same kitchen as this man, and it was the first time he watched him cook from such a close distance. This feeling made Li Jie feel strange and strange.

When the man was cooking this dish, he didn't notice Li Jie behind him until the smell came out from the pot. He put the food into a bowl, and he noticed the pair of black leather shoes behind him out of the corner of his eye.

His fingers trembled slightly, and he accidentally got a spoonful of porridge on his hand, which was so hot that he almost knocked over the bowl.

Noticing Qin Shaoyang's abnormality, Li Jie frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, brother, the porridge is ready."

The man smiled naively, turned the back of his scalded hand over in silence, and filled several more bowls one after another.

Li Jie took over the steaming bowl of porridge, and the light fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

The white rice porridge is full of fragrance, and the finely chopped green onion is dotted in it, which is really beautiful.

I lightly scooped it with a spoon, and large pieces of fish flakes rushed out from the bottom. The pure white fish flesh was stained with porridge water, glowing with crystal light, not like porridge but more like a work of art.

Gently scooped a spoonful, Li Jie opened his mouth and took a sip.

The hot porridge passed through his throat, and a fresh breath instantly filled his mouth.

The extremely thin fish fillets are soft and tender. After being marinated in rice wine, the fishy smell is removed and the unique tenderness of the fish is preserved.In addition, Qin Shaoyang's knives are precise, there are no fish bones on the fish, and it melts in the mouth.

Slowly savoring this bowl of light and delicious fish porridge, Li Jie's long and narrow eyes quietly looked at the faces of the head chef and the two managers of the food and beverage department.

Manager Zhou of the catering department is a middle-aged man in his 50s. He is usually unsmiling, but he is serious and dedicated to his work.

At this moment, he is holding a spoon and a bowl to observe carefully.

Afterwards, he took a sip of the porridge, savored it carefully, and took another sip, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

Putting down the porridge bowl, he said with high spirits: "The knife skills are really excellent, the fish meat is extremely thin and there are no fish bones, and the thickness of the porridge is also well controlled."

After receiving Manager Zhou's comments, Li Jie knew that Qin Shaoyang had already achieved half of his success.

Li Jie raised his narrow eyes slightly, and Li Jie secretly curled his lips. This Qin Shaoyang really didn't embarrass himself.

The head chef put down the porridge bowl and said nonchalantly, "It's just a bowl of porridge. Our new chefs at Lijing can do this level."

There was a flash of coldness in the long and narrow eyes: "Chef, what do you mean by that?"

The head chef sneered and said, "Manager Li, although you introduced him here, it's too easy to work in the kitchen of Regent's Chinese food department just with a bowl of porridge. To become a member of the catering department, you must pass my tests. After all, in the kitchen of the Chinese catering department, I have the final say."

Li Jie curled his lips coldly, not to be outdone: "I really don't know much about the kitchen, but I believe Qin Shaoyang's cooking skills will not disappoint you guys."

"Manager Li, what the chef said is correct. A small bowl of porridge is really simple. If Mr. Qin is really like what you said, then he should make another big dish to show his cooking skills."

Deputy manager Guo Wei also echoed, staring at Li Jie and Qin Shaoyang with malicious eyes.

Qin Shaoyang stood on the side, listening to Guo Wei's words, his dark eyes flickered with astonishment, and he looked at Li Jie as if asking for help.

Manager Zhou also knew that Li Jie and the other two had always been at odds, but in order not to intensify the conflict between the two parties, he could only mediate from it: "How about this, the specialty of the Chinese restaurant is Huaiyang cuisine, and Mr. Qin will cook another dish Huaiyang cuisine."

The head chef and Guo Wei looked at each other without saying a word.

Manager Zhou looked at Qin Shaoyang: "Mr. Qin, are you okay?"

Qin Shaoyang nodded: "No problem."

Manager Zhou kindly said to Li Jie: "Manager Li, it's better for you to avoid it."

Although the head chef and Guo Wei deliberately made things difficult for Qin Shaoyang, but with Manager Zhou around, the two of them would not go too far.

After thinking about the current situation, Li Jie nodded: "I see."

The slender eyes flickered across Qin Shaoyang's resolute face, Li Jie turned around and closed the kitchen door, standing outside and waiting.

Outside the kitchen, Li Jie stood at the door with his hands folded.

Originally, he wanted to go back to the office to finish the plan, but he was worried about the situation here, so he decided to wait outside.

Looking at the closed kitchen door, Li Jie waited silently.

It has been more than an hour since they came out, and based on Li Jie's understanding of the two old foxes, they will definitely not let Qin Shaoyang pass the test so easily, even with Manager Zhou present, the result is still unpredictable.

A hint of worry flashed across his long and narrow eyes, I hope he can pass the interview smoothly and don't let those two old guys succeed.

After waiting for a while, the door of the kitchen finally opened, and Li Jie's heart suddenly hung up.

The head chef and Guo Wei came out sullenly, and after seeing Li Jie, their expressions became more rigid.

It seems that Qin Shaoyang has succeeded.

Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Li Jie was a little proud that this piece of wood did not embarrass him.

Staring at Li Jie's face, the head chef reluctantly said, "Manager Li, congratulations."

The thin lip line raised a beautiful arc, Li Jie smiled and said: "Thank you."

After receiving Li Jie's response, the two walked away angrily.

Manager Zhou walked out steadily, with satisfaction on his clear-cut face: "Qin Shaoyang has been hired, let him report to the HR department tomorrow."

Li Jie said gratefully: "Okay, Manager Zhou, thank you very much."

Manager Zhou smiled and shook his head: "You're welcome. Actually, I didn't help much. I just did what I should do. This little Qin is a first-class cook, but he is still too young and needs to practice hard. After that I'm going to retire in a few days, I know you don't have a good relationship with the two of them, but no matter how they say they are older than you, you still have to make some concessions in some respects, otherwise you will definitely suffer."

"I understand."

The kind middle-aged man patted Li Jie on the shoulder: "Do well, with you young people here, I believe Lijing will definitely get better and better."

Watching the other party leave, Li Jie quickly walked into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Qin Shaoyang was tidying up the kitchen utensils. His strong body was wrapped in white overalls like a rice dumpling, which was extremely weird.

Somewhat dissatisfied with that person's appearance, Li Jie raised his sharp chin and called out: "Wood, come here."

The moving white rice dumpling turned its back, its bushy eyebrows were slightly drawn together, and looked at the person exuding a cold and arrogant aura for no reason.

Realizing that he blurted out the man's nickname, instead of feeling inappropriate, Li Jie shouted even more vigorously: "Why are you slower than wood, come here."

After confirming that the other party was calling him, Qin Shaoyang put down the rag and walked towards Li Jie, "Brother, what's the matter?"

He's really a fool, and only An'an will fall in love with him.

Li Jie once again despised the other party from the bottom of his heart, and returned to his arrogant and indifferent appearance: "You have been hired, report to the HR department at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"okay."

Qin Shaoyang didn't show much joy on his face, he just nodded mechanically.

"Remember not to be late."

"Yes, brother."

"Also, don't wear this suit from tomorrow on, it's too ugly."

"Brother, sorry to embarrass you."

Qin Shaoyang scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, and a red mark on the back of his hand flashed past Li Jie's eyes.

Li Jie knew that this man's hands were scalded by referring to his abnormal performance while cooking.

"It's good to know."

Turning around indifferently, Li Jie walked out of the kitchen, took out his mobile phone and said, "Chris, help me bring a tube of ointment for burns to the kitchen."
