Lin Yue was amused by his reaction: "Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you."
"Talk? What to talk about?"
Cai Mingjun was very alert, or for some reason, he was a little afraid of the man in front of him.
"Did you just follow Lu Yuan?"
"how do you know?"
"Don't worry about how I knew it. I was rejected, right?"
Cai Mingjun nodded, a lot of the vigilance on his face was relieved, but there was a touch of frustration.
Lin Yue said: "Maybe I can help you in this matter."
"You? Aren't you and him mortal enemies?"
Yesterday, Mr. Jiang made a bold statement, saying that he would overwhelm the Gray Whale Restaurant.
Lin Yue smiled slightly, did not answer the question, pointed to the front and said: "There is a coffee shop not far away, go there and chat."
Cai Mingjun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
ten minutes later.
The waiter placed two cups of American coffee in front of the two of them, said "take it easy", and left.
Cai Mingjun held the coffee cup in his hand and looked quite nervous.
Giving this little piece of meat to a woman like Peng Jiahe would be a complete waste of natural resources. It should be given to those 40 or 50-year-old aunts, who would definitely spoil him to death.
Oh, yes, there are also gay bar guys and rich people who have a habit of cutting off their sleeves. How great would it be to find a sponsor, earn ten or twenty million in ten years, and live in a small town for freedom.
"You don't have to be afraid of me, and you don't have to be in awe of Lu Yuan. As for me, I will not take the initiative to attack targets that are harmless to humans and animals. As for Lu Yuan, he is a star-rated chef."
"Moisture?"
Cai Mingjun was shocked by his words. The day before yesterday, the people in the kitchen witnessed with their own eyes how Lu Yuan defeated Steven with Beef Wellington, the dish that tests the most cooking skills in Western food. Now he said that Lu Yuan had Moisture, this... is simply sensational.
"Yes, there is moisture." Lin Yue repeated the above words: "The dish of Beef Wellington is about the control of heat. In other words, it tests the chef's experience. Lu Yuan has experience, But he has no sense of taste.”
"What? No sense of taste?"
If he was shocked just now, he was horrified now.
Cai Mingjun's eyes widened and he looked at him without blinking.
Chef Lu has no sense of taste?
Can you believe that I was hired as a chef at Gray Whale Restaurant despite having no sense of taste?
"According to you, he...he lied to us?"
"Yes, he is a liar. A chef without a sense of taste cannot do his job well, but he can still lead an apprentice..."
Cai Mingjun only listened to the first half of the sentence, and the second half almost went in one ear and out the other, muttering to himself: "This is too irresponsible."
Lin Yue wants to take responsibility? If he were responsible, he would no longer be Lu Yuan.
What this kind of person wants is to impress himself. What other people think is none of his business. For example, Lu Yuan would rather smuggle passports than sell his house to pay off debts; go to jail alone without telling Gan Jing; keep calling Jiang Haokun brother, but disgust him for the most important life event; apply for a job as a chef and hide that he has no sense of taste. Facts; and the extremely rogue way to force the old shoemaker to make shoes for him...
"Anyway, he won't be able to stay at Gray Whale Restaurant for long unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless he finds someone to be his tongue."
On this matter, Cai Mingjun had an idea.
"You mean...let me be his tongue?"
"That's right."
"But...but you also know what happened today."
Lin Yue took out a photo from his pocket and put it on the table, pushed it in front of him, pointed to the person on it and said, "Get her, and you will get what you want."
"who is she?"
Lin Yue became an Internet troll because of Peng Jiahe. She has been hiding at home these days, so the scene in the TV series where Cai Mingjun meets Peng Jiahe did not happen.
"Who is she? That's a good question. But before I help you figure it out, I think we need to talk about the conditions."
"What conditions?"
"You have to do something for me after this is done."
"What's up?"
"Nature will tell you when the time is right. You just need to answer 'yes' or 'no'."
Cai Mingjun: "..."
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to commit crimes like murder and arson."
Once he heard that he would not be asked to do anything illegal, Cai Mingjun lost his worries, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Lin Yue didn't talk nonsense. He gave him some instructions on how to approach Peng Jiahe, asked the waiter to pay, then stood up and left.
Cai Mingjun sat there for a while, until he finished the coffee in the cup, and then walked out with his things.
…
That night.
The stars hang low and the moon is as bright as water.
Most of the shops on the street are foreign. Only the convenience store and a drink shop on the corner still have lights on. Occasionally, customers come out with something and dive into the alley leading to the residential area.
The wind blew Dang Qian's disheveled hair, and her business attire was lightly fluttered. She glanced at the kitchen, which had a faint light behind her, and got into her boyfriend's car.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, go home."
The boyfriend didn't ask any more questions and drove her forward.
There was light in the restaurant because no one left.
"How is it? Are you still used to it?"
Lin Yue pulled up a chair and sat down.
Steven tore off a piece of kitchen paper and wiped his hands. He picked up the freshly brewed coffee and handed it over. He joked, "Boss, in our country, employees who are forced to work overtime will be fined."
Lin Yue said: "It's not you who works overtime, it's me."
Steven looked stunned and couldn't understand why he said this. He was the boss and he was an employee. Everyone else in the kitchen had left, so he was left alone. What was it if he didn't work overtime?
"check it out."
Lin Yue took out a notebook from behind and pushed it in front of him.
Steven picked up the notebook and flipped through it, his expression slowly changed from curious at first to solemn.
Steak Wellington.
Rabbit shoulder with broad beans.
Scallop and sturgeon roe sandwich.
Waterfall Cheesy Mashed Potatoes.
…
White lover.
Each page of the notebook records how to make a dish.
A glimpse tells the whole story. As a Michelin-starred chef, he knows the value of these recipes.
"Boss, are these all dishes you developed?"
Since the last time he finished stewed lobster, morels and asparagus, the boss could tell the recipe and production steps of this dish after just a few bites, and he was convinced. And the recipe in the notebook in front of him was very skillful at first glance. He takes it for granted that the cooking done by a skilled chef is the work of his boss.
"No." Lin Yue said, "This is Lu Yuan's recipe."
Lu Yuan?
Steven was shocked: "Why are Lu Yuan's recipes here with you?"
"For various reasons, his recipes have always been in the hands of his ex-girlfriend, and his ex-girlfriend is also my ex-girlfriend."
Steven couldn't react to this answer for a while, always feeling that their relationship was very confusing.
Lin Yue said: "Don't worry about where it came from. You just need to understand the contents thoroughly and help me give Lu Yuan a 'surprise'. Do you have any difficulties?"
Steven shook his head.
The operation model of the Western restaurant's kitchen is that the chef provides the recipes, and the others work together, taking into account efficiency and quality, to provide diners with the meals on the menu. So as long as he has this in hand, he can do anything Lu Yuan can do.
Of course, it is difficult to compare with Lu Yuan in terms of proficiency and understanding of dishes, but there is no problem in entertaining diners.
Pick up Lu Yuan's horse.
Get Lu Yuan's knife.
He stole Lu Yuan's recipe again.
What kind of hatred does this boss have with that Lu Yuan?
Steven felt sorry for Lu Yuan for a second...
It was only for a second, because he suddenly remembered the fact that Lu Yuan had taken his job.
But, Sai Weng...what's not a blessing?
He couldn't remember the word. He remembered that when he was in language class, the teacher once told a short story, which meant that a man's horse was lost, and then the horse came back on its own, bringing with it a group of enemy horses.
At this time, Lin Yue asked a question, interrupting his random thoughts.
"Steven, do you know why Lu Yuan was once in a food magazine and was talked about by diners? Do you know where his creative inspiration comes from?"
"Why?"
"Because he is good at combining the advantages of Chinese and Western food and trying to integrate different taste elements into the dishes, this gave those food critics a very novel experience and was ultimately successful."
Steven said: "I know this. Chinese food is divided into many cuisines with different flavors. Some are more complicated to prepare than Western food."
"So as a star chef, you have to continue to improve your knowledge of Western food. If you continue to use the original way of thinking, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Since you are now working in China, you should take time to learn Chinese cooking skills, learn from each other's strengths, and integrate them to achieve ' 1+1 is greater than the effect of 2'."
Steven didn't understand what "learning from each other's strengths and integrating each other's strengths" meant, but he understood what his boss meant.
"Boss, I have thought about it, but I am very busy at work and my Chinese level is average. It is very difficult to learn. In the end, I just gave up after understanding it."
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Want to do it quickly? I can teach you."
ps: Okay, I was wrong. To be honest, it was because I drank too much at the uneducated classmates’ party last night. When I came back, I couldn’t hold on and fell asleep. I just got up at 5 o’clock to catch up on the second chapter. I could only Posted at 7:30.
