Chapter 577(1/2)
The aroma fills the kitchen.
The man who is cooking, named Draymond Davis, is 39 years old.
He was the second chef of Liea, the only Michelin three-star restaurant in Chicago. If the chef hadn't been the boss's eldest son, he thought he would have been the chef.
Because Liea's three signature dishes, barbecue potatoes, cold potato soup and black pine wontons, all of them were made by him, this Michelin two-star restaurant was given a three-star location.
Draymond has been living a happy and prosperous life for the first half of his life.
But the good times did not last long. In October 1989, his wife and son both died in a car accident. The other party hit and ran away. I still don’t know who did it, and it has become a mystery.
Poor his son was only four years old at the time, and then Draymond was immersed in pain for a long time, suffering from anxiety and mild depression.
The psychologist prescribed him a small dose of An Ning tablet. This medicine is very addictive. For the next three years, he never left this thing again, commonly known as "drug addiction".
The plot is lighter than taking drugs, but it's almost the same. Draymond was first fired by the restaurant and then spent a lot of money to buy medicine from the black market.
I lost my job, my money, my house, my car, and my family.
Draymond lived a life as a homeless man and wanted to commit suicide for a while. He stood on the bridge several times, but he did not have the courage to die.
It was not until 1993 that he happened to meet a newly divorced New York woman who had a child who looked very similar to his son.
The kind woman gave Draymond a quilt in winter and brought him some food every day at work.
Although it is not very delicious, this move is enough to warm Draymond's heart.
Before he knew it, Draymond found out that he fell in love with her, so he decided to quit drug addiction.
After staying in a drug rehabilitation center for more than half a year, enduring inhuman torture. After leaving in April this year, he wanted to find a decent job based on his previous skills and go back to visit the woman.
But which high-end restaurant will accept a chef with this kind of past?
Originally, Draymond would tell the restaurant owners about the incident and hoped to gain sympathy. After several times he was turned away, he concealed his experience working at Liea Restaurant, so that the other party could not investigate his drug addiction.
At the beginning of the year, I successfully found a job in a mid-to-high-end restaurant in New York.
I was sad to find that my superb skills back then were now abandoned. While helping people with sex in the restaurant, I began to resume training.
Later, I happened to meet an old customer who only then learned about his identity and was forced to leave with a bedding the next day.
After the news was reported by the New York Chef Club, all New York restaurants learned about it, and they treated Draymond, the once famous chef of Liea restaurant, as a joke.
When I went to find a job, no one wanted him. I was willing to do some small restaurants, but that was not what Draymond wanted. Then I thought about coming to the recently popular meet restaurant and trying my luck.
During the months I went to work, my salary was used to buy ingredients. Not only did I save the money, I also overdrawed a large amount from the bank and was out of my pocket.
So, on a snowy night a few days ago, Draymond came up with such a bad idea before going to bed.
I hope that the manager of meet restaurant will discover his talents.
At this time, he found Han Xuan here, and he was even happier. He thought that the talents were shining everywhere and he carefully prepared shireng steak.
Buffy's characteristic German sausage was rotating on the grill and mixed with the scent of the steak, which made Han Xuan, who was hungry, couldn't help swallowing.
The sauce became thicker.
Draymond tasted the taste again, picked up the pot and scooped two spoons of sauce and poured it on top of the steak.
Take the carrot pieces, peel out a few lotus flowers, put a few lavender, let it aside, and smiled and said, "It's done, you can try it. This is the real sirloin steak."
Han Xuan saw from the beginning and understood that this guy really had a few brushes.
I am not here to make trouble, but I also show my skills specifically. After thinking about it, I can only have one purpose in finding a job.
But his approach is really too ungrateful.
Discovering Chef Queroy Beckeller, I couldn't wait to go over and taste it.
Han Xuan quietly grabbed his clothes and refused to let him go. He smiled and said to Draymond, "You can taste it yourself first to see if it tastes right."
Draymond actually had no confidence in his dish. When he saw the beautiful frost flowers on the surface of the beef in the Snow Mountain Ranch, he knew that this beef was different from the ordinary beef he had used before.
It may lead to different tastes, and maybe it may.
Hearing this, I picked up the knife and fork, cut off a piece of meat, and put it in my mouth to chew it, and looked full of enjoyment and self-intoxication.
"Is it delicious?" Han Xuan continued to ask him.
No chef would say that his stuff is not delicious, let alone it is really delicious.
Draymond was confident and answered seriously: "Very good!"
“That’s fine.
Queroy, the customer is satisfied, and he doesn't charge any other items, just asks him for the money for the steak.
There are 218 yuan in total, plus tips, almost $260. I will give him the bill after he finishes eating."
Han Xuan smelled the fragrance and smacked his lips and said, "It smells so good.
Huh? Sir, why did your face turn green?
Could it be that I can't pay the money?"
"...I went out in a hurry today, maybe I forgot to bring my wallet."
"That's hard to deal with. I didn't have money and asked my restaurant clerk to open $8,500 a bottle of red wine.
This is a scam, otherwise I will ask the driver to take you home or go to the bank and you will get the money?"
Draymond's face suddenly became greener, and he couldn't get so much money even if he killed him!
At that time, in order to pretend to be a rich man, I heard the waiter order a bottle of wine casually, but I didn’t know it would be so expensive!
I can no longer calm my face.
Draymond didn't hear that he wanted to stay, and he meant to be a chef here, so he simply said, "I can help you work and pay back the money."
You can try this dish first, I will have a lot of it!”
"Everyone heard it?
Queroy, you go and try what he wants you to eat.
We will testify for you in court, and that 10,000 dollars will not be lost."
Han Xuan spread his hands and said.
"Ten thousand?!
Why did it become ten thousand?"
Draymond widened his eyes and looked at Han Xuan, feeling that "the profiteer" clearly stated on his forehead!
"You wasted four shirink steaks and tips, so I specially gave you a discount for what you can calculate."
The kitchen was already hot, and Queroy was sweating on his forehead.
I thought to myself no wonder Han Xuan didn't let himself taste it just now. This pit was really dug
marvelous!
Seeing Draymond, who was previously arrogant, jumped out of the pit obediently and buried himself with soil, it was so comfortable that he couldn't say.
The revenge has been avenged. Chef Queroy drinks some water to moisten his mouth, changes his knife and fork, and tastes the taste.
I drank a sip of red wine and tasted another piece.
I thought the taste was really good, but when I said it, "I can eat it just by myself, the level of a third-rate chef is average."
"That's how it is."
Han Xuan said: "If you want to settle privately, then settle privately and don't go to the police station.
I will give you a salary of 2,500 yuan a month and give you 1,000 yuan as living expenses. The remaining restaurants are deducted to pay off their debts. Do you think it's OK?"
“What job?”
"Doing odd jobs, handling raw materials, washing dishes, etc. will only make you work for half a year, and the remaining $1,000 will be used as a reward."
Han Xuan showed a "You've made a lot of money" expression at the right time.
Draymond's lung pain was so angry that his face turned from blue to red, and he shouted: "I used to be a three-star Michelin chef! A real chef! How could he do such a job!?"
The apprentices and handymen around him suddenly looked unhappy. Isn’t this looking down on others?
Han Xuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then there is nothing to do. Who can help me call the police?
A cow only has so much meat, and it is already pitiful to be eaten by others, and you have to waste it.
Do you know how many grapes will die in that bottle of wine to make it?”
Draymond was immediately depressed when he heard the police.
I thought in my mind that I could get one thousand yuan a month, less is less, but eating and drinking is enough for myself to live.
Maybe you can have the opportunity to climb up and become the chef?
He gritted his teeth and said this: "...Okay, but you have to cover it, I have no place to live."
"Help him arrange it, remember the social guarantee number, and don't run away."
Han Xuan held his laughter and walked out of the kitchen. He heard a little worker doing a job: "Chef Samsung, come here to peel potato skins! Then pull out all the hairs on the pig's trotters!"
