In the wing of Yuelaiju and Yueshan. Zhou Xuebin was arranging the kitchen utensils in the private kitchen. He held a piece of silk in his hand and gently wiped a kitchen knife. His light and gentle movements were like stroking his own breasts. "Master, you have been busy all day, so you should take a rest." Liu Qiang walked into the kitchen and said softly. "It doesn't matter, I'm not tired now." Zhou Xuebin shook his head slightly and asked, "Where have you been this morning? Why haven't I seen you yet?" "Master, the restaurant is recruiting a chef today, and I brought Yan Nantian here for the interview. , so I wasted some time in the morning." Liu Qiang replied. "I remembered, you mentioned it to me yesterday." Zhou Xuebin responded, showing a hint of curiosity, and said: "By the way, how did that guy's interview go?" "That guy passed the interview and has become a Temporary helper in the restaurant. ""That boy actually passed the test?" Zhou Xuebin looked a little surprised, and said after thinking for a moment, "Wu Qiankun has always been strict, how could he let a sixteen-year-old boy pass the test?" At the beginning, I didn't think Yan Nantian could pass the test, but I didn't expect this kid to be secretive and have amazing cooking skills," Liu Qiang said with a wry smile. "Oh, it's not easy to win your praise. What kind of cooking skills does this kid have?" Zhou Xuebin asked. "At first, Master Wu felt that Yan Nantian was young and wanted to make things difficult for him, so he asked him to cut up a whole bull beast within an hour before allowing Yan Nantian to pass the test; he never thought that Yan Nantian would The kid's sword skills were amazing, he was able to cut apart the bull beast in less than half an hour, and everyone was stunned by his skill," Liu Qiang said with a smile. "Cut apart a bull beast in half an hour? This guy's sword skills are so powerful? I remember that he has never practiced spiritual power." Zhou Xuebin's expression moved slightly and he said. For a spiritual chef, it may not be a difficult task to divide a bull beast in half an hour, but for an ordinary chef, it is an extremely difficult task. "Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that this guy's sword skills were so powerful, and Master Wu seemed to appreciate him a little," Liu Qiang said. "That's interesting." Zhou Xuebin smiled, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and said, "Bring him to see me tomorrow. I want to talk to him personally." Although Zhou Xuebin only met Yan Nantian once, But Zhou Xuebin uses the tofu invented and made by Yan Nantian every day, which invisibly draws him into a relationship with Yan Nantian. "Yes, sir." After seeing Yan Nantian's sword skills, Liu Qiang originally planned to introduce him to Zhou Xuebin. Now that Zhou Xuebin offered to meet Yan Nantian, Liu Qiang was naturally happy to agree. ¡ ¡ The time of happiness is always short-lived. Because he was thinking about tomorrow¡¯s competition, Yan Nantian only stayed in Yipinju for an hour, and then returned to Yuelaiju Restaurant. After Yan Nantian returned to Yuelaiju, he put his belongings in the dormitory and immediately rushed to the kitchen of Yuelaiju. It was already past the meal time and there were not many people in the kitchen. The layout of the back kitchen used by the temporary helper is similar to that of the "Yue Shan Room" used by the Ling Kitchen, except that the Yu Shan Room has more kitchen utensils and the ingredients are more precious. " However, this place is a higher level than the kitchen in ordinary restaurants. Everything needed for the kitchen is available, and Yan Nantian also successfully received a set. Yan Nantian got familiar with various kitchen utensils, sharpened the knife assigned to him, cleaned the pots, bowls, ladles, and basins, and then began to become familiar with various ingredients. A chef who is not familiar with the ingredients is like a soldier who goes to the battlefield but forgets to bring bullets. He may be able to hold on for a while at the beginning, but he will definitely die miserably after the battle. No matter how good a chef¡¯s cooking skills are, he will feel at a loss when faced with unfamiliar ingredients. It¡¯s like a liberal arts student taking a science test paper. Even if he has rich experience in the exam, he will lack basic knowledge. ¡°Furthermore, Feng Shuangxi had also given a reminder before to make Yan Nantian familiar with the ingredients in the kitchen. Although he was not sure whether this reminder was related to the content of the competition, Yan Nantian felt that he should give it a try. The ingredients were placed in the back room of the kitchen. Yan Nantian poured a glass of water, then walked into the side room where the ingredients were placed, took a sip of water, tasted each ingredient, and became familiar with the taste of each ingredient as much as possible. Since his rebirth, Yan Nantian has been practicing the true understanding of the tongue. Coupled with decades of memory and experience, the sensitivity and judgment of taste by the tongue have far exceeded that of ordinary people. In addition, the previous owner of this body grew up in a family of chefs and was familiar with all kinds of ingredients, and Yan Nantian absorbed the knowledge of this body.?? memory, so Yan Nantian quickly became familiar with the ingredients. Although I am very confident in my cooking skills, this is not the earth after all; and this world also has unique cooking skills, and the level of chefs is no worse than that of the earth. Therefore, Yan Nantian did not dare to take it lightly. He prepared until the early hours of the morning. He tasted all the ingredients and basically mastered the taste of most of the ingredients. Then he dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory to rest. ¡¡ In the early morning, the warm sunshine fell on the ground. The temporary chef of Yuelaiju started preparing breakfast very early, including three fresh steamed buns, steamed eggs with snowflakes, jade steamed buns, five-spice vegetarian dishes, nine-grade lotus seed porridge Every dish is made by a famous chef, and every dish is very delicious. Even the famous chef Yan Nantian couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart after seeing everyone's cooking skills. The job of the temporary helper is to be responsible for three meals a day for the employees. After finishing breakfast, the many temporary helpers are free, and everyone gathers to eat together. Although Yan Nantian is a newcomer, he became the focus of everyone's attention because of his cooking competition with Zhang Hengchun, and many people took the initiative to say hello to him. After Yan Nantian greeted everyone, he also sat at the dining table to eat. Breakfast was relatively simple, but the simpler the dishes, the more the chef's cooking skills were tested. Yan Nantian picked up a jade steamed bun, which is made of a kind of pickled cabbage and ingredients similar to cornmeal. The dough is soft and chewy, and the pickled cabbage is fragrant, sweet and crispy. Except for the jade steamed buns, Yan Nantian tasted the rest of the food one by one and found that every dish was very delicious, no worse than a five-star hotel on earth. Seeing Yan Nantian sitting down to eat together, the surrounding chefs couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Brother Yan, aren't you going to compete with Zhang Hengchun on your cooking skills today? Did Mr. Feng tell you the specific time?" "I remember Mr. Feng mentioned "It should be this morning," Yan Nantian said. "Oh, what exactly is the content of the competition?" asked another chef. "I don't know this either, and Mr. Feng won't reveal it easily." Yan Nantian said with a smile. "Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. Maybe after finishing the meal, Mr. Feng will host the competition." Another helper said excitedly. "These temporary helpers are usually not allowed to go out at will. They cook, eat, and sleep every day. Their life is extremely monotonous and without passion. Now Zhang Hengchun and Yan Nantian are competing to test their cooking skills, and they have immediately become the focus of gossip and concern. After the meal, many of the chefs gathered in the yard, all discussing in low voices the competition of cooking skills. Yan Nantian stood aside and closed his eyes to rest, not because he was pretending to be an expert, but because he slept too late last night. , I want to take the opportunity to recuperate my spirit. Suddenly, a cook pointed to the door of the yard and shouted: "Look, Zhang Hengchun is here too." The words of the cook immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned to look at the door and found that Zhang Hengchun had indeed come in, and there was someone beside him. Followed by a man. "Ah, isn't the person next to Zhang Hengchun the official assistant chef Liu who is next to Chef Ling?" said a sharp-eyed assistant chef. "Yes, I heard that this Senior Brother Liu is not only a formal assistant cook, but also an apprentice of Wu Qiankun's spiritual chef. His identity and status are beyond our comparison." "Zhang Hengchun and Senior Brother Liu have a good relationship. It seems that this Senior Brother Liu is Come to support Zhang Hengchun." Many of the helpers said even more excitedly. At this time, Yan Nantian was also observing Zhang Hengchun and Liu Qiming. Seeing the close relationship between the two, his previous doubts suddenly became clear. The fact that he was appreciated by Wu Qiankun should be Liu Qiming's secret. "Look, isn't that big man Liu Qiang's assistant cook? Why is he here too?" Another exclamation sounded. "Chef Liu is a confidant of Chef Zhou Ling. Could it be that he was sent here by Senior Zhou?" "Oh my god, it's just a small competition. How could it attract so many big shots? Could it be that this competition has already alarmed the two of them? Master Lingchu," one of the assistant chefs guessed with a look of astonishment. At first, everyone just wanted to watch the excitement. However, the arrival of Liu Qiming and Liu Qiang gradually made everyone's attitude more serious, and they were even more looking forward to this competition.
