Since it was already noon when Levi got up, and there was not much time before he could go to the bar to work in the afternoon, after summarizing the gains and losses of this system experience, it was time for him to pack up and get ready to go out.

As for the system’s rewards, I probably won’t have time to enjoy them today.

Although Messi's sparring opportunities only need to be carried out in his mind, Levi, who has just recovered from excessive mental exhaustion, does not dare to try it easily.

It's already noon, and the sky outside the window is still gloomy and scary. The dark clouds completely cover the sky, and you can't see the shadow of the sun at all. You can't even tell where the clouds are and where the sky is.

It was a sharp contrast to the cloudless sunny day yesterday.

However, it was only thanks to the dark and lightless weather that Levi was able to sleep deeply all morning, because the weather seemed to have deceived his senses, making his body think it was still night.

In this way, it is not a bad thing.

The British are naturally accustomed to such weather. There are no fewer pedestrians on the road than usual, but they don't have the habit of staying at home and sleeping soundly on rainy days.

Lennon and Milner had already gotten up and packed up, and they were huddled side by side on the sofa watching TV. When they heard the sound of Levi coming out of the bedroom, they all turned around in unison and stared longingly.

Levi:

"Li, what are we going to have for dinner tonight? We haven't even eaten lunch yet."

Levi was dumbfounded, but Milner was fine. Lennon, did you forget that you were the one paying? Are you trying to make yourself poor?

"I can't say it now, but I won't let you down."

After soothing the two mouths that were waiting for food, it was time for Levi to go out.

Rainy days are commonplace for the British, but for Levi, who was about to go out at this time, it also caused a bit of trouble.

Fortunately, there are not many things to bring. I just confirmed the ingredients with Boss John last night. Most of them are available in the store, except for some special Chinese seasonings, which he needs to prepare by himself.

The total amount was just some bottles and cans, plus some spices, which didn't take up much space, so Li Wei could only carry it with him.

※※※※※※

When we arrived at Billy's Bar, it was still early, and there were still a few groups of customers who came to eat at noon. As for the bar, there was no business at noon as usual.

Li Wei simply asked Ying to help in the kitchen, just to get familiar with the environment.

Boss John didn't mind and let him go. After all, there was no Leeds United game today, and those old fans wouldn't come here in the afternoon.

However, Boss John is still a little puzzled by Levi's idea of ​​cooking his own dinner:

"Li, the food in the store is not enough, why do you need to make it yourself?"

"Um, Boss John, I want my teammates to try my hometown food," Levi felt a little guilty. He couldn't say that the food here is too delicious, "Of course, it's just a few dishes, the staple food."

, desserts and drinks are always from the store."

Boss John waved his hand and did not ask further questions, but he gave Levi a heads up.

"That guy Wallace is not easy to talk to. He has the final say in the kitchen."

Levi nodded, thanked Boss John for his kindness, packed up the packages he brought, and went to the kitchen.

William Wallace, the chef of Billy Bar, is an authentic Scotsman, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, rugged and fierce. He really lives up to his name. It reminds Levi of the Scottish national hero with the same name in "Braveheart"

.

This guy's temper is also the same as his appearance, he is very angry and moody.

Levi has been working at Billy's Bar for a while. Although the bartender and the chef probably have nothing to do with each other, he has seen this guy get anxious and yell at the waiter who came to order the food no less than three or four times.

, and even some customers who complained about the dishes were once the target of Wallace’s yelling.

To be able to work as a chef here with this kind of temperament, in Li Wei's opinion, he either really has the ability or really has the connections.

And Wallace seems to have both.

It is said that he and the previous owner of the bar were from the same town and grew up together. The original boss never treated him as a subordinate. And for some unknown reason, after Boss John took over the bar,

I treat him as a friend as always.

Over time, those chefs who were resentful of Wallace's excessive severity became even more afraid to make mistakes.

As for his skills, Li Wei could only stay away from his special skill - that dark stuff. He was used to seeing Chinese food that pays attention to both color, flavor and taste, so he really couldn't appreciate it.<

/p>

Most of the local customers also had the same reaction as Levi. Anyway, Levi didn't see many diners who came back to eat the food after eating it once. However, a few flavored side dishes, such as Scottish fried eggs, could attract a few

Repeat customers.

However, from time to time, Levi can still see a few guys with thick Scottish accents, full of praise for Wallace's craftsmanship.

If it weren’t for shilling, maybe the taste buds of the Scots are different from ours!

※※※※※※

Levi opened the kitchen door and walked in.

Wallace recognized this young man. Speaking of which, although he had not had much contact with him in the past few months, this Chinese boy who seemed extremely polite compared to other unscrupulous peers still gave Wallace a few friends.

Favorable points.

But the good impression only ended yesterday. When Boss John relayed Levi's request, Wallace's face sank. Levi's request was taboo.

Isn’t that a disguised way of saying that the food he cooks is not good!

As a chef, Wallace didn't bother to use any small means to trick someone, so he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for him when he came to help with the cooking.

But when it comes to having a good face, naturally I don’t have one.

Although the manpower in the kitchen was a little tight, it was impossible for Wallace to let an outsider like Levi help with the cooking, so he casually sent him to wash the dishes.

Speaking of which, when Li Wei was in school in his previous life, he also worked in a restaurant. He usually cooked and washed dishes every day, so he was no stranger to the kitchen.

Moreover, the restaurant where he worked at that time was a busy food stall. The dishes he washed were large and fast. After practicing this day by day, it was difficult not to wash them well and quickly! <

/p>

So now it is too easy to face such a small-scale job in Billy Bar. Three times, five times and two times, Levi will finish the job.

Naturally, Wallace didn't believe that this guy could finish the job so quickly, but after carefully inspecting Levi's work, he had to admit that this kid was at least not a fool with high ambitions and low abilities.

He immediately assigned Li Wei the task of washing vegetables.

There are not many varieties of vegetables, of course not wild shepherd's purse which is huge and difficult to wash, just onions, potatoes, purple cabbage and the like.

And it's already past one o'clock, and there aren't many customers left in the store, so naturally there aren't many dishes to wash.

In a short time, Li Wei solved it quickly and even peeled the potatoes.

These two moments actually changed Wallace's impression of Levi. At least he could see that Levi was obviously a person who often went to the kitchen.

However, he still sneered at Li Wei's request to cook by himself.

※※※※※※

At around two o'clock, all the customers in the store left one after another, and the busyness in the kitchen gradually stopped.

Li Wei also went aside and began to prepare for the evening banquet.

There was also the idle guy who asked out of curiosity:

"Li, what are you planning to do?"

"Mutton."

"Oh."

When I heard it was mutton, I didn’t ask any more questions. This is the food they deal with every day. How else can they cook it? In their British cooking dictionary, it is nothing more than frying, roasting, and boiling.

Yes.

But what Li Wei wants to do is of course different.

Mutton was the ingredient he selected yesterday. In fact, since he only had one day, he could only choose from the ingredients available in the store.

As a restaurant that specializes in Scottish cuisine, sheep is naturally indispensable. The legendary Scottish national dish Haggis is made of sheep stomach, heart, lungs, liver, etc. - the liver, sheep

Ingredients such as heart, lamb lungs and oats are minced and mixed, baked and stuffed into the lamb belly, then cooked in boiling water, and finally served with mashed potatoes, rutabaga mashed, and a glass of Scotch whiskey, and you get this dish

The legendary dark cuisine.

The Scots regard it as a national dish, largely because of the national poet Robert Burns, the "Qu Yuan" of Scotland, who praised haggis as "the great chieftain o' the puddin".

-race!). In order to commemorate him, later generations designated January 25th as Burns Supper Day every year. During the dinner, his poem "Address to a Haggis" would be recited and Haggis enjoyed.

In Li Wei's opinion, this is somewhat similar to the rice dumplings we eat during the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. That's the taste. Anyway, Li Wei thinks that putting the two together is an insult to the rice dumplings, and there is no need for the fresh meat of Wufangzhai in Jiaxing

Zongzi is just an ordinary white rice dumpling, dipped in a little white sugar, and the taste is also full of haggis.

Because haggis is the restaurant’s signature dish, sheep offal is naturally the main ingredient in the restaurant.

Naturally, the Scots cannot only use sheep offal and neglect the delicious mutton. You must know that mutton is an important ingredient in Scottish pie, so the store will always have mutton.

When Levi discovered that there was mutton to choose from, he didn't care about anything else.

This is it.

If you ask a gourmet person what is the most delicious meat, nine times out of ten they will say mutton.

Pigs, chickens and cows are beautiful, but when it comes to strong personalities, there is almost no meat that can compare with sheep.
