Li Mulin works at 8 am, so he left at around 7 o'clock. The girls in the shared house have not come back yet.
When he arrived at Hongyun Hotel, Li Mulin became a handyman again.
First, he mopped all the floors of the hotel cleanly. Then he moved tables and chairs. Two hours later, all the capable work was done by Li Mulin.
"New boy, go and help Master Zhang." Seeing that there was nothing to command Li Mulin, the logistics supervisor sent Li Mulin to the kitchen. There were so many miscellaneous work there and could never finish it.
Master Zhang is the chef of Hongyun Hotel. His name is Zhang Tianhe. He is in his forties. He is not tall and a little fat. He always has a warm smile on his face. He cooks a good dish. It is the real name of Hongyun Hotel. A chef.
Master Zhang grinned when he saw Li Mulin coming in.
"Young man, you are new here. What is your name? What is your responsibility for?"
Li Mulin also replied and smiled. "My name is Li Mu. I'm here to help you."
"Well. I have nothing to help you. I cook. Just watch from the side. If you can learn some fur, you don't have to help others in the future." Master Zhang laughed.
Indeed, young men like Li Mulin are generally unwilling to be handymen. After all, handymen are the lowest and lowest-paid profession.
"Okay" Li Mulin didn't think that handyman is inferior. But he also understood the difference between a chef and a handyman. His monthly salary is 1,500 yuan. But Master Zhang is at least 7,800 yuan. .Li Mulin is now very eager for money. He wants to take Yang Xue and the others out of the fire pit. He is just a handyman. It is far from enough.
Master Zhang is a kind and generous person. While cooking, he also explained to Li Mulin. It’s not that he is not afraid that Li Mulin will learn all his skills. But he doesn’t believe that Li Mulin can learn it at all. After all, cooking is not a simple way to go. Even if you know how to cook and how much ingredients you need to use, you may not be accurate when cooking. After all, a chef can master the ingredients and heat for a day or two. It can be precise.
When a chef cooks, the first thing is to master the heat. This heat is completely an art. For example, when you cook, you have to cook until it reaches a certain level before adding what ingredients. It is not something you can do by memorizing it by rote. After all, What level should be burned? It depends on the size of the fire, the frequency of stir-frying, and some miscellaneous effects. Therefore, chefs usually judge the heat based on the color of the dish, the taste it emits, and their own experience. Some of the colors of the dishes are very obvious, while others have almost no changes. Therefore, if you want to master them, you need strong perception.
The second is to grasp the ingredients. This is also a difficult problem. Because the chef has his own standards for how much ingredients he puts. And how much he needs to put depends entirely on his feelings. After all, when the chef cooks, it is impossible for the scale to start. Scale the material and put it in.
Li Mulin, a small worker, worked for a month. He first cleaned two hours a day, and then helped Master Zhang. In fact, he just watched Master Zhang cook. As for the manager who hired Li Mulin, Li Mulin never had any more After all, he was a manager. He didn't have time to pay attention to a small worker. He had long forgotten that he had someone like Li Mulin.
Since Li Mulin and Yang Xue's working hours were staggered, and Li Mulin never explained it to Yang Xue, the relationship between the two was still a bit stiff. But Li Mulin knew that one day, Yang Xue would know that he had not deceived him. And his biggest change was that he helped Yang Xue cook from time to time. Of course, he didn't dare to use his own money to buy vegetables anymore. He was just responsible for cooking. What surprised the girls was that Li Mulin's cooking skills seemed to be getting more and more The better it is, the more and more dishes you can cook. It feels better than the chefs in ordinary restaurants.
Li Mulin, who was able to catch the stomachs of several girls, naturally became more and more popular with the girls.
It was another ordinary noon. However, for Hongyun Hotel, it was not an ordinary day, because it attracted an important guest.
Wang Changqing, Director of the Food Planning Bureau.
In fact, if you don’t say it, you know that these food bureaus and commerce bureaus, in short, all the so-called inspections come for the money. As long as your money is in place, no matter how bad you make it, the light will be green all the way. But if You don't understand the rules and don't give the money in place. No matter how good you do it, you can make it a dirty and messy typical for you to deal with it.
With the arrival of the director, the entire Hongyun Hotel naturally did not dare to neglect it.
The big guys’ inspection. The dinner party is the first procedure. As long as the dinner party makes the big guys feel comfortable, the red envelopes will be easy to discuss.
But when faced with the menu that Wang Changqing ordered, Master Zhang was also in trouble. It was a dish that he couldn't make.
The dragon swings its tail.
It’s not that the ingredients for this dish are not easy to find. The ingredients for this dish are the best ones to find, because its main ingredient is cucumber.
In fact, this dragon's tail swing is the evolution of the straw raincoat cucumber (a cucumber is cut into countless pieces connected together. The longer the cucumber is cut, the more slices the more the knife skills are. If you don't know, you can collect straw raincoat cucumbers online). The version. Not only should you cut a cucumber into slices first, but you should also arrange it into a circling dragon after slices. Then you should carve the dragon head on the top of the cucumber.
Carving a dragon head is not difficult for Master Zhang. The key is to cut the straw raincoat and cucumber. This is too difficult.
This dish is not actually called the dragon's tail swing, but is called the dragon's tail swing. However, it is divided into four levels according to the number of straw raincoat pieces. Less than one hundred pieces are the dragon's tail swing. More than one hundred pieces are the earth dragon's tail swing. One hundred and five More than ten pieces are the dragon's tail swing. Only more than two hundred pieces are called the dragon's tail swing.
"This is clearly a difficult situation for my Hongyun Hotel."
Another chef frowned.
In fact, this matter is simply clear. You try every means to please these big guys in the hotel. These big guys will naturally try every means to come up with difficult problems to make you embarrassed. It makes you feel that you have not been greeted properly. When you give red envelopes, you will naturally not be able to Less weight.
This dragon swings its tail. It is obviously made by a special chef. Although Master Zhang has been a chef for more than 20 years, he has only reached the level of a first-level chef. Besides, this dish requires a special chef who is proficient in knife skills. Made it.
Everyone understands the truth. But whoever says that he is a big boss will make things difficult for you. You have to continue and can’t do it. That’s your business.
Looking at the frowning look of more than a dozen chefs in the kitchen, Li Mulin asked a little strangely: "Master Zhang, is it difficult to make this dragon swing its tail?"
After so long studying, Li Mulin also has a deep understanding of cooking. With his practice at home, he can be said to be more of a chef.
Master Zhang looked bitter. "Xiao Li. You don't know. This dragon swings its tail. But it takes more than 200 pieces of straw raincoat cucumber to be called the dragon swings its tail. I, a first-class chef, can also cut out at most one. Hundreds of pieces. Just make the earth dragon swing its tail.”
Since Master Zhang can't make it, it's even more impossible for other chefs at Hongyun Hotel.
"Forget it. Brother Zhang. If you can't do it, you can't do it. At worst, just give more money." The manager who recruited Li Mulin said helplessly. Wang Changqing really will give them problems. This dragon waves its tail. Even if it is A first-class hotel in SZ City may not be able to make it, let alone his second-rate hotel.
"Why let me give it a try." Just as everyone was about to give up, Li Mulin suddenly spoke. Seeing everyone anxious, he felt uncomfortable. Moreover, Master Zhang was originally the signature of the Hongyun Hotel. This would not be done. The dragon swung its tail, which was also a great blow to Master Zhang's reputation. Li Mulin learned so much from Master Zhang. He should also help.
"You can cook." The manager looked at Li Mulin in surprise.
"I watched it with Master Zhang for a few days and knew how to do something," Li Mulin replied naturally.
"Boy. This dragon's tail swing is not a simple thing. I, a second-level chef, can't even make a dragon's tail swing. You'll only watch it for a few days and can do it." A chef joked. After all, the chef present was the one who was present. No one can guarantee that he can make a dragon sway. Not to mention a dragon swaying his tail. Not to mention a dragon swaying his tail. Not many people can make a dragon swaying his tail. After all, he has to cut a small cucumber into 100 slices. Continuously, it is not easy. They can't do it. A handyman said he wanted to try it. Wouldn't he be so funny?
"If you don't try it, how do you know I can't do it?" Li Mulin was not angry when he was ridiculed.
"Even if you were asked to cut all the cucumbers here, you wouldn't be able to cut out a thirty slices," the chef continued to sarcastically.
"What if I could do it?" Li Mulin's eyes turned cold. He was not afraid of being despised. But he didn't like this kind of person who looked down on people jumping around there.
"If you can make it, I will use the back as your chopping board." The chef completely sneered at Li Mulin's thoughts.
Li Mulin stopped talking. He picked up a cucumber and threw it into the air. With a clang of sound, the kitchen knife was unsheathed. A shadow of the knife swayed. Ten seconds later, there was a click. The cucumber fell on the chopping board.
Seeing the intact cucumber, the second-level chef smiled proudly. "Boy, I'll just say that everyone can brag, but there are not many awesome people."
Li Mulin sneered. He held the cucumber handle and lifted it up in the air. The cucumber, which was originally less than one foot, suddenly stretched out and fell down in a spiral flake. It was more than one meter long.
"Do you want to count whether you have thirty pieces?" Li Mulin looked at the second-level chef jokingly.
The second-level chef rubbed his eyes hard and confirmed that he was not wrong. There were more than thirty slices. At least fifty or sixty slices. A cucumber that is more than twenty centimeters can be cut out fifty or sixty slices. It's 30 or 40 cm cucumber.
