C32 Difficult and Unrewarding

"What the hell are you doing? Didn't I say that our restaurant doesn't want chefs?"

When the woman saw Lu Shan enter the Back Chef, she became a little anxious. She hurriedly followed him in, wanting to chase him out.

Lu Shan scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, boss. I suddenly realized that I forgot to bring money when I went out today. I'm afraid I don't have money to pay for that bowl of noodles. So... Even if you don't need a chef in your restaurant, let me be your chef for the time being. How about this to offset the money for my bowl of noodles? "

"You..."

The woman still wanted to say something, but she saw that Lu Shan had already swiftly found a piece of half-frozen lean meat from the fridge. He put it on the chopping board, grabbed the kitchen knife, and quickly cut it.

The knife in Lu Shan's hand seemed to be controlled by a machine, moving up and down at a very high frequency. In the blink of an eye, the half-frozen piece of lean meat became a row of evenly thick slices of meat. Then, he pressed the slices of meat down and used the kitchen knife to cut them up. Then, the strips of meat that were almost identical in length and thickness were cut in half a minute!

When the woman saw this, she was so shocked that she was dumbfounded. This was the first time she had seen someone with such good knife skills! It was another matter if the cooking skills of the chefs she had hired in her restaurant were good or not. In terms of knife skills, it seemed that none of them could compare to this young man in front of her!

Initially, she had some doubts about whether the person in front of her was really a chef or not, but now that she saw his style, she no longer had any doubts.

At this time, Lu Shan had already grabbed a large number of coriander dishes and washed them under the tap. At the same time, he asked, "Boss, other than spicy shredded meat, what other dishes did the customer order?"

"They also ordered..."

The woman paused and then sighed. She said, "Sir, thank you for your help, but I really can't let you be a chef in my restaurant. Speaking of which, it's not like I don't need a chef in my restaurant. It's just that it's very dangerous for you to be a chef in my restaurant, and you might get beaten up at any time. It's fine if my restaurant can't be opened! I can't harm you because of this! So..."

" Will I get beaten up when I become a chef here? "

Lu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed, "Is it because of the demolition?"

"How did you know?" The woman looked at Lu Shan in surprise and asked.

"When you were on the phone with someone else, I heard the reason."

Lu Shan said, but his hands did not stop at all. In the blink of an eye, he had already cut the freshly washed coriander and put it into the pot. He stir-fried the coriander a few times in the hot oil. Soon after it was stir-fried, he put it on the plate. After that, he put the sliced shredded meat into the pot.

When cooking spicy shredded meat, the three ingredients could not be mixed and stir-fried. Instead, they had to be stir-fried separately. Then, he placed the three ingredients into the plate layer by layer. A large amount of coriander was laid on the bottom of the plate, and a layer of shredded meat was added on top of the coriander to cover it. Finally, he placed some fried chili slices on top of it to embellish it, and the dish was ready.

At first glance, it looked like a large plate of shredded meat. Actually, with a flip of the chopsticks, one could tell that it was all coriander. However, when it came to cooking in restaurants, it was always this way. The quantity of the dishes had to be large, even if it was just to create an illusion for the customers. The chefs in the restaurant had to do the same.

In less than five to six minutes, Lu Shan had already stir-fried a dish of spicy shredded meat. He handed it to the female boss and asked again, "What other dishes did they order?"

The female boss hesitated for a moment and said, "Osmanthus Tofu, Fish Scent Eggplant, and Coke Chicken Fin! Do you know how to cook all these? "

Without saying another word, Lu Shan immediately found a bag of chicken wings from the preservation cabinet. Then, he started to marinate it. His hands and feet were very nimble. Every time he added a lot of seasoning, he did not hesitate. After adding the seasoning, he held the basin in his hand and gently shook it a few times before he evenly mixed it. Then he put it aside and began to prepare other ingredients.

The female boss was stunned when she saw this. Then, she silently carried the plate of spicy shredded meat to serve the customers!

When she sent the drinks to the customers and returned to the kitchen, she saw that Lu Shan had already stir-fried another Osmanthus Tofu!

To be honest, even though she had opened a restaurant for such a long time, actually, when the customers ordered the Osmanthus Tofu, she was stunned. She did not know how the Osmanthus Tofu was made. Did she need to use fresh Osmanthus Tofu to be stewed together with the tofu? The menu in their restaurant didn't have this dish. This was a dish that the customer casually ordered.

At this moment, when she saw the plate of golden tofu that Lu Shan had stir-fried, she finally understood that the so-called Osmanthus Tofu was stir-fried with a layer of egg juice on the tofu!

At this time, Lu Shan's Coke chicken wings had already been stewed. He was washing the eggplant. It seemed that it would not take long for these four dishes to be prepared.

This was the difference between professional chefs and home-cooked chefs. Ordinary people, even if they cooked at home every day, would have to work for more than an hour to cook three or four dishes. However, if the chef cooked too slowly in the restaurant, the customers wouldn't be able to wait any longer!

Although this was Lu Shan's first time coming to the restaurant to cook, after learning Cooking Skill Certificate, he could be considered a professional chef. His speed was quite fast.

When Lu Shan finished preparing the last dish, the female boss sent the dish over. After that, the female boss quickly returned to Back Chef. When she saw Lu Shan washing the pot, she let out a soft sigh. Then she took out a 100 yuan note from her pocket and gave it to Lu Shan. She said, "Thank you for helping me solve my embarrassing situation. This $100 is your reward. But I really don't dare to invite you to be a chef here. Please forgive me."

Lu Shan saw the situation and said with a bitter smile," Boss, if you really don't hire me, you don't need to give me so much money! Their food money might not even be worth 100 yuan. If you give me 100 yuan, won't you lose money? "

The female boss said bitterly," It's alright. Anyway, I can't keep this shop open. It doesn't matter if I make money or not. I can see that your culinary skills are very good. It's not difficult for you to find a job elsewhere. Don't come to my place!"

Lu Shan could not help but be speechless. It was clearly very difficult for him to find a job.

But what this female boss said was right. If her shop was going to be demolished soon, then even if he could be hired by her, he wouldn't be able to do it for long. He might be involved in the demolition dispute later. It really wasn't worth it!

At this moment, a customer at the table outside said loudly, "Boss, your Osmanthus Tofu is really delicious! Give us another plate!"

When he heard this, Lu Shan had already started to pick up a piece of tofu and prepare to work. But at this moment, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
