After Yao Shi left, everyone in the kitchen gathered around for lunch.
Before the meal was ready, except for the chef who was in charge of cooking the staff meals, everyone else found a place to rest.
Sun Mingze and several of his classmates gathered together and huddled in the corner of the kitchen.
This is a rare leisure time for several interns after a long day's work.
The other chefs were just lazy and resting, and no one paid attention to what the interns were doing.
After Sun Mingze sat down, he couldn't help but open the photo album and take a good look at Fu Yu's invitation.
The other three people were chatting. When they saw Sun Mingze fiddling with his mobile phone, the person sitting next to him tilted his head and looked over: "Mingze, what are you looking at? Are you so focused?"
Sun Mingze smiled: "I just took a photo of Chef Fu's invitation. Don't tell me, it's really noble. Even the prints on it are very unique."
The male classmate who spoke was assigned to be an intern at Gu Yunwu. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said: "Fu Chef? Oh, you mean Brother Fu. Oh, just call him Brother. Isn't he also a graduate of our school? Do you want Chef Fu to be more exposed? We need to get closer to them!"
Another male classmate heard this and nodded: "Yes, let me tell you, in our kitchen, those who can be called a chef must be at the level of Chef Zhao and Chef Gu. People like Brother Fu , Brother Sun, Brother Yao, they are all just chefs in charge, especially Brother Sun. I heard that he hasn’t become a full-time employee yet! Let’s just call him Brother Sheng.”
When Sun Mingze heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "I just feel that this respects Chef Fu, and he is really awesome. If I can achieve his achievements in the future, I will be so happy!"
In one sentence, everyone was stunned!
What's the meaning?
The male classmate who spoke couldn't help but ridiculed: "No, Mingze, what's wrong with you? Just for a fat job, do you support Brother Fu every day? It's a good thing to want to make progress, but you don't want to be so kneeling, right? Let me tell you You, it’s no use keeping your beard off. If you really want to learn how to cook, you still have to find a way to get close to your chef, that’s the real boss!”
Sun Mingze was laughed at and was not angry.
The four of them were assigned to the Qianlima back kitchen as an intern. The others were only doing the work of chopping meat, but he was the only one who had the opportunity to do the oiling work because he was following Fu Yu.
Although others didn't say it, they definitely felt bad in their hearts.
They all came here for internship, so why did he get better treatment?
He definitely knows how to please people with his slender beard, and seeing him act like he admires and respects Fu Yu very much every day, other people see it and feel somewhat dissatisfied.
At their age, most of them are a bit rebellious, have never been out of school, and are generally simple in character.
Sometimes, whatever is on your mind comes out naturally on your face.
Sun Mingze shook his head: "Do you know where this invitation letter was sent to Chef Fu?"
Everyone shook their heads and looked confused: "Where is it?"
Sun Mingze raised his phone and asked them to read it: "It was sent to Fu Chu by the Provincial Food Association, inviting him to attend the award ceremony of the cooking video competition in the provincial capital!"
Everyone looked around at their phones and immediately put away the smiles on their faces.
Sun Mingze continued: "I thought that Chef Fu just participated in the cooking video competition organized by the Provincial Food Association, but it turned out that he was not a member of the Provincial Food Association. He had already joined the Provincial Food Association and was a serious member."
This sentence immediately made the other three people's eyes widen with incredible expressions on their faces!
The male classmate who had mocked Sun Mingze before felt that his breathing was a little short.
Is Fu Yu so powerful?
He actually joined the Provincial Food Association!
Sun Mingze smiled: "I didn't deliberately try to please Chef Fu. I just think that I should learn cooking from him. He is really good. And the other people in the kitchen, as long as they are qualified to cook, will definitely be much better than us. . I think this opportunity to be an intern is very rare, and I cherish it very much. I want to learn some cooking knowledge through this internship!"
Sun Mingze's words made everyone fall silent.
...
During the afternoon break, Liu Yuqing stayed alone at the front desk. While Jiang Mo had not returned from eating in the cafeteria, she happily sent a message to her sister.
Liu Yunong went to the store every afternoon. When she received the message from Liu Yuqing, she was changing into work clothes in the dressing room.
Opening the dialog box, Liu Yuqing sent a picture with a text message underneath: [Sister, I’ll show you something good! 】
Liu Yunong curiously clicked on the picture and muttered: "What is it? It's mysterious!"
When the picture opens, it is an invitation letter.
Liu Yunong raised his eyebrows and took a closer look at the content. He was stunned for a moment and said to himself in surprise: "The Provincial Food Association's cooking video contest... When did Fu Yu participate?"
I guess I haven't received a reply yet, so I couldn't wait any longer, so I sent a video call directly from Liu Yuqing.
Liu Yunong connected to the video, and Liu Yuqing's smiling face immediately appeared on the screen.
"Sister! Did you receive the message?"
Liu Yunong nodded: "I got it."
Liu Yuqing was wearing Maxima's waitress uniform, which made her neck look longer and her skin fairer.
"Have you seen the photo?"
Liu Yunong responded: "Look."
Liu Yuqing asked: "Then why didn't you reply to my message?"
Liu Yunong smiled and asked instead, "When did Xiao Fu participate in the competition?"
Liu Yuqing said with a smile: "It was just last month. I helped edit the video. He recorded it very well. At that time, I felt that he would definitely win the award. Sister, isn't he very good?"
Liu Yunong smiled, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, Fu Yu won a prize, look at how happy this silly girl was.
She still has the trophy from the International Culinary Competition in her home, but she didn't see this girl succeeding like this at the time.
However, seeing Liu Yuqing's beaming smile, Liu Yunong couldn't help but smile: "Awesome, how long has Xiaofu worked to win an award in a provincial cooking competition? It's really not easy. "
In fact, in Liu Yunong's view, provincial competitions like this are nothing at all.
But judging from Fu Yu's actual situation, it's still quite impressive.
After all, Fu Yugang has been working in the industry for more than a year. He can achieve his current results with such a short practical experience, which is definitely not possible for ordinary people.
Moreover, the Provincial Food Association's video cooking competition is quite competitive, because the publicity efforts in the previous two sessions have been in place and the attention has been very high.
Fu Yu was able to win the award when he participated in the competition for the first time, which is quite impressive!
In particular, the reputation of the cooking competition held by the Provincial Food Association has always been very high.
With such an award, it can be regarded as an authoritative appraisal of one's cooking level.
Sometimes, honors like this cannot be bought with money.
Otherwise, why would a famous chef like Liu Yunong deliberately sign up to participate in some international cooking competitions, just to prove his cooking skills and expand his reputation?
On the surface, it looks like a simple provincial cooking competition, but in fact, the meaning behind it is extraordinary.
Just the awards Fu Yu won this time are enough to get rid of a group of chefs at the same level around him, right?
This is the most powerful proof of the level of cooking skills.
Thinking of this, Liu Yunong looked at Liu Yuqing who was smiling like a flower in the video, and couldn't help but joked: "Don't tell me, you are really discerning. In fact, at the beginning, I felt a little bit unworthy of Xiaofu. I want to fall in love with you, but now... I think if you don't work hard, you won't be worthy of me."
When Liu Yuqing heard this, her face turned red immediately!
"Sister, how can you push your elbows outward! I am so excellent and good, how can I not be good enough for him! Do you believe it, if I tell him to get married now, will he faint with joy?"
However, Liu Yuqing shouted loudly, but actually she felt happy when she heard her sister's praise of Du Yu.
Liu Yunong smiled: "If you can match it, that's fine! Look how much you hate getting married, it seems I really have to prepare a dowry for you!"
Liu Yuqing blushed with embarrassment and complained a few words before getting down to business: "Sister, Fu Yu is going to the provincial capital to attend the annual meeting the day after tomorrow. I want to go too. Can you get the tickets?" ?"
Liu Yunong hadn't thought about it at first, but now that he heard that Liu Yuqing wanted to go, he couldn't help but think about it.
If Liu Yuqing is asked to go to the provincial capital by herself, she will definitely not feel at ease.
Moreover, attending the annual meeting, you can also take a look at Fu Yu's award ceremony and witness the glorious moments in the life of your apprentice (brother-in-law), which is also an important experience.
The most important point is that she has already started to prepare for the location of the new branch. At the annual meeting of the Provincial Food Association, she is expected to entertain a lot of big names in the industry. She may be able to meet any leaders or acquaintances, and she can also use this opportunity Discuss and communicate.
Although people come to you on your own for things like connections, you also need to extend an olive branch yourself so that others can have the opportunity to get to know each other and make friends.
Now being reminded by Liu Yuqing, Liu Yunong couldn't help but have his thoughts moved.
Liu Yunong has always been very assertive. He made up his mind and said immediately: "It should be no problem. I happen to want to participate, but when you go to the provincial capital, are you going alone or with Fu Yu?"
Liu Yuqing did not expect that Liu Yunong was also planning to go to the provincial capital, so she hurriedly said: "Sister, how do you plan to go?"
Liu Yunong said: "Let's drive. It's only a little over three hours' drive anyway. It's more convenient to drive by yourself."
Liu Yuqing said: "Then I'll ask Fu Yu later. If it's okay, the three of us will go together."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yunong immediately opened his address book and began to contact him about tickets to the annual meeting.
...
He was going to the provincial capital to attend the award ceremony the day after tomorrow. Fu Yu discussed it with Zhao Meng and took advantage of his free time to report to Yao Shi in advance about asking for leave.
Yao Shi readily agreed, and then asked: "Xiao Fu, how will you get to the provincial capital then?"
Fu Yu hurriedly said: "I'm going to take the bus, but I haven't booked a ticket yet."
Yao Shi immediately said: "If you haven't booked a ticket, don't do it. Luo Rang called me just now. He is going to attend the annual meeting of the Provincial Food Association the day after tomorrow. He drove there by himself, so you can take a ride."
"Is it convenient for Luo Chu?" Fu Yu and Luo Rang are relatively familiar with each other. Fu Yu was very happy to hear that Luo Rang was going to attend the annual meeting.
Yao Shi took out his mobile phone: "Conveniently, he heard that you were going to the provincial capital to attend the annual meeting, and he took the initiative to ask just now. Just in time, I told him that you can take his car and leave. When you come back, he should also I can give you a lift."
"That's great."
Fu Yu was very happy, not because he was short of ticket money, but mainly because it was his first time to attend the annual meeting in the provincial capital and he felt a little unsure.
If you can have someone you know to accompany you, you can help each other out.
Yao Shi called Luo Rang.
Hearing that Fu Yu wanted to take his car to the provincial capital, Luo Rang readily agreed.
Luo Rang also successfully joined the Provincial Food Association last year. Only he knows how far he has developed various connections.
Luo Rang was scrolling through his mobile phone in his spare time and saw Yao Shifa's circle of friends, and then he realized that Fu Yu had actually participated in the video cooking competition organized by the Provincial Food Association.
Although I have realized that Fu Yu's cooking skills are indeed excellent, I never expected that this kid would successfully join the Provincial Food Association at such a young age.
This was a place he had been fighting for for several years before squeezing his way into.
I don’t know whose path Fu Yu came from, he’s so awesome!
Yao Shi handed the phone to Fu Yu and asked him to communicate directly with Luo Rang.
Fu Yu hurriedly greeted Luo Rang politely: "Chef Luo, I will hang out with you the day after tomorrow."
Luo Rang chuckled and said, "No problem, but Xiao Fu, I have too many things to do in the store here. I'm afraid you will have to work hard to come to the store to find me the day after tomorrow."
Normally, Luo Rang would have driven over to Qianlima to pick up Fu Yu.
After all, I have helped, so I just need to open a little more road.
The main reason is that the Chinese New Year is approaching and business in the store is booming. As the chef, he has to handle some things personally.
As a colleague, Fu Yu understands it very well.
Fu Yu and Luo Rang exchanged a few polite words and finally decided on the itinerary for the day after tomorrow.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yu thanked Yao Shi and got up to go back to the kitchen.
...
After get off work in the evening, Fu Yu sent Liu Yuqing home as usual.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the back door of the hotel side by side, Liu Yuqing said impatiently: "Fu Yu, how are you going to get to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow?"
Fu Yu smiled and said, "Oh, Luo Rang is the chef of Sihai Banquet. He happens to be going to attend the annual meeting of the Provincial Food Association. I will take his car there then."
Liu Yuqing was a little disappointed when she heard this.
Fu Yu looked at her expression and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yuqing sighed: "My sister said that she can get tickets for the Provincial Food Association and she can take me there. I was thinking of letting you go with us."
Fu Yu didn't expect that there would be such a problem, and he suddenly wondered: "What should I do? How about I tell Chef Luo and not go with him?"
Liu Yuqing hurriedly said: "Forget it, my sister and I just went over to join in the fun, you should come with him. Isn't he already a member? He must be very familiar with the process of the annual meeting. It will be a lot more convenient with him here. ."
Fu Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, we'll see you at the venue later."
