Chapter 136 He gave the best thing to others (please vote for me and recommend it)
"Shi Tiandong, come here quickly, let's arrange the dishes together!"
"Xiao Li, how do you arrange the plate? How do you arrange your salad? Didn't I teach you? Go and prepare all the ingredients for the second dish. I'll do it after this dish is finished! Don't stand here anymore.
It’s on fire!”
"Liu, this piece of chicken is too fried. Please cook it again! Hurry up!"
"Xie Liang, if you have nothing to do, don't make trouble for me here! Go knead the dough and prepare everything you need for the evening!"
Lunch has just begun and everyone in the kitchen starts to get busy. The key to the appetizer is to satisfy the guests who are eating the pre-dinner bread when the first dish is presented.
Zhang Wentao cares about this very much, so every time he tries to involve everyone in making the first course and makes it as rich as possible to make time for the second and third courses.
But no matter how well prepared they are every time, when the guests start to dine, the chefs always have to face some unexpected problems...
…
"Zhang Wentao, your beautiful girl called you over and asked me to introduce you to two friends."
Just after lunch, Sun Xiaowei, who had been busy all afternoon, walked into the kitchen and saw a sweaty Zhang Wentao staring at Xie Liang preparing the staff meal. When she came over to call him, she even pulled him: "There is a man.
The look on your face with the garden in your house is extraordinary."
After Sun Xiaowei finished speaking, she finally made a "tsk tsk" sound, as if she was reminiscing. The man looked at Xu Hongdou and let out a hint of emotion.
"Xu Hongdou is here?" Zhang Wentao frowned.
He remembered asking the other party in the morning, but was rejected. At this moment, he suddenly listened to Sun Xiaowei's words, took out his mobile phone and took a look and found that Xu Hongdou had not called him either.
He glanced at Sun Xiaowei doubtfully.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Sun Xiaowei waved her hand: "I told you that I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be busy."
However, these words made Zhang Wentao feel mixed in his heart. He nodded, gave Xie Liang a few instructions, looked down at his chef clothes, found that there were no oil stains, and walked out of the kitchen.
Due to work reasons, no matter how much you care about it, there will inevitably be some oil stains or other things on the chef's clothes.
Hearing that Xu Hongdou came with Xie Zhiyao, he subconsciously checked.
When he walked out, Shi Tiandong immediately got next to Sun Xiaowei and asked with a smile: "I heard that there is a man who looks at the spring scenery in the garden with unusual eyes. Tell me about it."
Sun Xiaowei rolled her eyes at Shi Tiandong and said, "If you want to see it, you can see it yourself."
After saying that, they both ran to the junction of the kitchen and the dining room, pretending to be chatting, and looked at Zhang Wentao, who had just walked to Xu Hongdou's table.
Seeing Zhang Wentao coming over, Xu Hongdou stood up with a smile and said before Zhang Wentao could speak: "This is the chef of the restaurant, Zhang Wentao."
"These two are Sunzi and Xiaofang. They are here to shoot a promotional video for Yunmiao Village."
"Why didn't you say anything when you came?" Zhang Wentao first complained to Xu Hongdou, then smiled at the two of them, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, you two, are you satisfied with the lunch meal?"
"Satisfied, satisfied."
Sunzi and Xiaofang quickly stood up and shook hands with Zhang Wentao warmly.
After saying hello, Zhang Wentao seemed to have completed his task. He pursed his lips and smiled and nodded to the other party. He turned his head to look at Xu Hongdou and said with concern: "If you want to eat anything else, I'll make it for you."
"Ah, no need."
Xu Hongdou narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Do you have time at noon? I want you to sit down and chat with Sunzi and Xiaofang. After all, they are here to shoot a promotional video, and they need to understand the village from all angles."
"I want to hear your opinion."
"My opinion?" Zhang Wentao was a little surprised. The two people in front of him, whether Xu Hongdou or Xie Zhiyao, knew Yunmiao Village better than himself. If you want to understand the village objectively, just go and see it yourself.
Just like Zhang Mingyu, if you walk around more and see more, you will naturally gain insights.
Besides…
"Hongdou, please don't embarrass Zhang Wentao. He has been busy all afternoon and hasn't eaten yet. He must be exhausted." Xie Zhiyao suddenly said.
"Then you..." Xu Hongdou was about to say something when Zhang Wentao noticed Xie Zhiyao's eyes sizing him up and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I can actually bring my rice over."
"I don't mind. I don't mind."
Sunzi was very interested in Zhang Wentao. While eating, while admiring the delicious food, she heard that the chef who made these delicacies lived in Yunmiao Village, and she really wanted to hear his opinion.
Hearing that the other party was willing to sit down and communicate, he showed even more interest.
"Then wait a moment."
Zhang Wentao nodded to Sun Zi, then glanced at Xu Hongdou who looked concerned, and said with a smile: "Then I will come over later."
"Well, then you go and do your work first."
Xu Hongdou also responded to Zhang Wentao with a smile.
Not far away, Shi Tiandong came to Sun Xiaowei's side and whispered: "Do you feel it?"
"Well, isn't it just jealousy between men? I'm not blind." The corners of Sun Xiaowei's mouth raised. It wasn't very satisfying to watch, but the expression in her eyes in just a few words could still give some clues.
Shi Tiandong shook his head: "Hey, that's not what I'm talking about."
"Then what are you talking about?" Xun Xiaowei looked at Shi Tiandong in confusion.
Seeing Zhang Wentao turn around, his face immediately changed from a smile to a normal look and he said, "Have you not noticed that Lao Zhang loves to laugh a lot lately?"
"Then you're not talking nonsense?"
"Not the kind of smile that comes from the heart."
As the two of them talked, they greeted Zhang Wentao who had returned. After he walked to the kitchen, Shi Tiandong said: "Except for Xu Hongdou, he was so full of smiles to everyone else just now.
Can’t you see?”
"Is there any?"
Sun Xiaowei recalled that she really didn't pay close attention to this and just looked at her.
But after thinking for a moment, Sun Xiaowei pursed her lips, looked at Shi Tiandong and said, "If you say that, then I think there is something wrong with the way Xu Hongdou looks at Zhang Wentao."
"has a problem?"
…
Zhang Wentao returned to the kitchen, took out the rice bowl he had in the kitchen, first went to get two pre-meal breads and a piece of butter, then made some rice and mixed it with the dishes prepared by Xie Liang.
Seeing Xie Liang's vegetables in the vegetable basin, he was speechless.
However, he still hit him, but gave Xie Liang, who was serving him the food, a blank look.
The uneasy Xie Liang thought Zhang Wentao meant too little, so he gave the bad-tempered chef half a spoon more.
Zhang Wentao: "..."
When he came out again, he saw Shi Tiandong and Sun Xiaowei still murmuring. He didn't bother to pay attention to these two people who usually liked to chat and gossip when they had nothing to do, and returned to Xu Hongdou's table.
The waiter has already helped to add an extra chair in advance, and also placed a bottle of cold dried ginger water on the table.
Zhang Wentao put down the rice bowl and said with a sly smile: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
When several people saw that Zhang Wentao had such a simple meal for lunch, and then thought of the exquisite lunch dishes they had just tasted, they felt a little emotional.
Xu Hongdou, who was closest to Zhang Wentao, was the first to express his concern: "Is this all you eat for lunch?"
"Well, lunch is relatively simple."
Zhang Wentao explained with a smile. The expressions of several people also caught his attention, so he added: "Actually, the chef's profession is like this. When you are busy, it is like fighting. When you are done, you eat whatever you have. It's just that
Compared with lunch, dinner will be more generous, and we will not eat whatever you eat, as everyone thinks."
"That's it."
After hearing Zhang Wentao's explanation, Sunzi and Xiaofang understood when they thought that the restaurant was almost full during lunch just now.
Xie Zhiyao was also a little surprised. He silently looked at Zhang Wentao, who had a different temperament and temperament with him. He also thought deeply about their morning contact and past exchanges.
And Xu Hongdou, thinking of the chefs she often met in the staff restaurant where she used to work, and then looking at Zhang Wentao in front of her, felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
Maybe, he showed his best side to his guests... and also to himself.
And what about himself?
