"Master, you had diarrhea all day yesterday and didn't eat anything, let's have some porridge today!" Xiao Wu carefully helped Chef Zhang up from the bed, who was weak.
"Xiao Wu, put it there, I'll drink it later." Chef Zhang waved his hand slightly, motioning for Xiao Wu to go out.
Although I took the medicine prescribed by the doctor yesterday, the diarrhea stopped. However, after a day of diarrhea, it is inevitable that there is still a slight discomfort in the abdomen.
It's really uncomfortable to have an empty stomach and feel weak all over.
Chef Zhang was about to get up and get out of bed to eat some porridge when he suddenly felt light-headed and dizzy.
There are always two voices fighting in the body.
"Hey! Zhang Debao, Zhang Debao, why are you bothering! Bitter tricks make it too real!"
"Zhang Debao, you did a good job! If you want to avoid being suspected, you must first be among the victims!"
"Zhang Debao, how did you become like this! You lost to Wen Shouzheng in the selection of the chef five years ago, but your arrogance is still there. You can feel your conscience, how could you do such a despicable thing!"
"Zhang Debao, you did a good job! If you can't beat Wen Shouzheng, you will never be able to sit in the position of the first chef of Zuixianlou. Now Wen Shouzheng has brought a little girl. If this girl grows up, she will succeed Wen Shouzheng. Shouzheng, let's see what you do in the future!"
Chef Zhang held his head in his hands, shaking in pain, a feeling of being torn apart forced him to squat down in front of the bed.
"Ah!" Chef Zhang's eyes were full of jealousy, and he had a headache and overturned the whole table.
"Clatter!" There was a crackling sound.
"Bang, bang!" The various objects on the table turned into fragments on the ground.
"Wen Shouzheng! Gentle! I, Zhang Debao, will definitely become the number one chef of Zuixianlou in this life!" Chef Zhang said viciously.
"Master, master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu, who heard the crackling sound, rushed in hastily.
"It's okay, I'm weak. I accidentally knocked over something. Xiaowu, you pack this up and wait for me to finish changing. Follow me to Zuixianlou!" Chef Zhang collected himself.
The back kitchen of Zuixianlou is still lively as before, it seems that the doctor's medicine yesterday is very effective. However, the way Wen Shouzheng and shopkeeper Li dealt with the diarrhea incident was even more reassuring. Everyone just regarded it as the chaotic scene that day, and it was only a coincidence that the saponin powder appeared in the back kitchen.
"Chef Wen, are you still only selling fresh soup and fragrant cakes today?" Zhu Zi put on a towel and moved over.
"Hehe, follow the dishes of Zuixianlou before. Fresh soup and fragrant cakes are included in the menu, and sold together, everything can be done according to the customer's preference!" Wen Shouzheng glanced at the ample inventory in the back kitchen.
"Yo, Chef Zhang. You're here too? Don't you want to rest for a few more days?" While speaking, Zhu Zi had sharp eyes and saw Xiao Wu helping Chef Zhang with a pale face come in.
"It's all over now." Chef Zhang said coldly, and immediately entered his small kitchen.
"This man... Really. I greeted him with good intentions, but it happened to be this stinky face again!" Zhu Zi said angrily.
"Everyone stop!" After a while, shopkeeper Li came in happily.
"Shopkeeper Li, what's the happy event? Could it be that Miss Hongxiu of your family wants to marry her in-laws?" Yuanzi asked nonchalantly.
"Hehe, Yuanzi. If my family's Hongxiu wants to Xu in-law's family, the first thing that can't get away is your red envelope!" Shopkeeper Li tapped Yuanzi's head lightly, and then said, "If this matter is said, it must be let You guys are too happy to sleep!"
"What's the matter! Let's go and listen!" After a while, the chef, apprentices, handymen, and workmen in the kitchen all surrounded him.
"Master Qiao sees that Zuixianlou is doing well! He intends to expand the scale of Zuixianlou. No, he went to the provincial capital to investigate a few years ago and bought a restaurant in Xi'an, saying that he wanted to expand the scale of Zuixianlou. The building is also going to the provincial capital!" Shopkeeper Li was so happy that if such a good thing comes to fruition, he must be inseparable from Shopkeeper Li.
"Master Qiao is really amazing. He actually managed to buy a restaurant in the provincial capital! How much money does it cost!"
"It is said that the Fan family is the richest businessman in Xianyang. In my opinion, our boss is the real person!"
Everyone started talking again.
"Everyone be quiet!" Shopkeeper Li calmed down a little, "Since the restaurant has been bought, manpower is naturally indispensable! Master Qiao said that he intends to select a group of experienced and capable chefs in Zuixianlou. Go to the provincial capital to establish a branch of Zuixianlou!"
"provincial capital!"
"That's great!"
"Hey, I heard that the capital is covered with gold, but the provincial capital is covered with silver?"
"Come on, look at your sour face that has never been out of the house! Hahahaha!"
As soon as these words came out, the back kitchen of Zuixianlou exploded.
Even the chefs in the small kitchen squeezed out to watch the excitement.
"Shopkeeper Li, did Master Qiao say who to take?" Chef Tang asked loudly.
Thinking in his heart, although Chef Wen is the number one chef of Zuixianlou, he is also the pillar of Zuixianlou at the moment, no matter who Master Qiao chooses, he will not touch Chef Wen. Otherwise, the signboard is gone, what about the Zuixian Tower here
"Shopkeeper Li, is there a limit on the number of people?" Chef Zheng also tried to ask.
Although I am also the chef of Zuixianlou, I have always been a well-known behind-the-scenes cook in the back kitchen. There is a sign of Chef Wen here, and I am not as skilled as others, so I will never have a chance to stand out ! Why not go elsewhere and start over? As the saying goes, "Trees move to death, people move to live!"
Although Chef Zheng is not good at words, he still has his wishful thinking in his heart.
"Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient!" Shopkeeper Li once again calmed the swelling atmosphere, "Master Qiao said something first, this time the selection must be fair and just. The qualifications for the election, after going through layers of selection, will finally select two chefs to go to the provincial capital, and then the chefs can also choose their own capable assistants to accompany them!" Shopkeeper Li said cheerfully.
"Really? That's great, Master, if you are selected, I can go to the provincial capital too?"
Chef Tang was extremely embarrassed, and gave Yuanzi a hard time.
"Master, I want to go too..." Xiao Wu's heart was very active. Teenagers and half-children are just young and frivolous. Naturally, they are more attractive than staying in one place all day long. . Although Xiao Wu's voice is small. Can't hide that longing and longing.
"En." Chef Zhang snorted coldly, without saying anything, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Father! Such a great opportunity! We must seize it! The provincial capital is vaster than Xianyang! If Father goes to the provincial capital, he will become a famous chef in the provincial capital!" Rourou is also gearing up.
In his previous life, Wen Shou was in the capital, and he also followed the track of folk selection. Step by step, he was finally selected as the royal chef, fulfilling every chef's lifelong dream!
But who knows, just bathed in the halo of dreams, there is already an abyss under your feet. Not only Wen Shouzheng, who has gradually become famous, was killed innocently, but also 19 members of Wen's family were also wiped out.
Tenderness once thought about it. The rebirth in this life must keep father away from the place of right and wrong in the palace.
But becoming an imperial chef is the lifelong pursuit of every chef, not to mention Wen Shouzheng, who is already a little famous now!
advise. There is no result, Rourou can't think of a reason to persuade a promising chef to give up chasing his dream!
Then, the only way is to follow the trajectory of the previous life, keep your eyes open, and walk through it again. Back to the original cliff again! Only in this way can we find out the black hand behind the scenes in the previous life!
To avenge the blood in the previous life, and to restore the Wen family's innocence! Give Wen Shouzheng a world! At the same time, give yourself a different life for the rest of your life!
Thinking of this, Gentle stroked the heart that was stabbed by a sharp arrow in the previous life. Although it is warm and beating powerfully, who can understand the feeling of being shot through this heart.
Knowing that there is a road of no return, but still walking up with a smile;
Knowing that standing on the edge of the cliff, someone would push from behind at any time, but still walked towards the top of the cliff step by step.
Perhaps, only by looking back in time at the last moment can all the secrets of the previous life be unlocked!
Gently touching her still aching heart, she made a secret decision.
"Hehe, good! It just so happens that I haven't participated in the competition for a long time, so this time it's all about practicing, and everyone can learn from each other!" Wen Shouzheng smiled modestly.
"Okay! Since everyone's enthusiasm is so high, then the selection competition will be set in three days! Just these days, everyone should adjust and make more preparations!" Shopkeeper Li encouraged everyone.
The back kitchen fried the pot again.
"Shopkeeper Li, did Master Qiao say something?"
"Yes! Shopkeeper Li, how is this competition going?"
"Shopkeeper Li, do you participate alone, or can you ask for help?"
For a while, you can ask anything!
"Hehe, everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. This competition is only for one person, and no helpers are allowed. The content of this competition... Hehe, everyone prepares first, and then Master Qiao will reveal the secret of the topic selection in public." Shopkeeper Li said When finished, turn around and leave.
Before leaving, he looked at Wen Shouzheng with infinite concern, and said, "Chef Wen, it's been hard for you these days, so get ready!"
Chef Zhang saw it in his eyes and was angry in his heart.
"Wen Shouzheng, you have suppressed me for five years! Humph, now a new opportunity has come! I will definitely not let you get your wish!" Chef Zhang thought to himself, clenching his fists.
The incident of people drinking soup and diarrhea in Zuixian Tower seemed to gradually fade away in the busy preparations for the competition. No matter whether it is a chef or an ordinary cook, everyone is preparing carefully. Who doesn't want to make good use of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Even those little apprentices are secretly preparing.
"Brother Shitou, what are you up to?" Seeing that Fang Dashi was hiding in the corner of the small kitchen, Ruan Rou came over curiously.
I saw a piece of orange carrot, already under Fang Dashi's hands, it had the embryonic form of a magpie.
"Ah! Brother Shitou, you carved this? It's really beautiful!" Wen Rou said in surprise.
Since Wen Wen showed his distinctive culinary talents, Fang Dashi has stepped up his daily basic skills training. Two months ago, he could only carve flowers according to the master's mold, but now he can carve skillfully in his heart.
"Shh, sister Rou'er, don't yell, I'll just carve for fun." Fang Dashi smirked embarrassedly.
"Brother Shitou, do you want to participate in the competition too?" Gentle's big bright eyes flashed.
"It's definitely not good to compare with the master. I just want to try my hand. It can be regarded as a kind of exercise!" Fang Dashi opened his mouth honestly again.
"Well, brother Shitou, come on! One day, you will surpass my father!" Rourou encouraged Fang Dashi.
"Brother Yuanzi, what are you..." Rourou just came out of the small kitchen, and caught a glimpse of Yuanzi who was chopping vegetables with a knife.
At this moment, under Yuanzi's knife, an even layer of shredded potatoes was spread out.
"Oh! No... nothing..." Yuanzi was very embarrassed.
"Brother Yuanzi, I see, you must have foreseen that today's guests will order many servings of shredded potatoes, and you cut and prepared the ingredients first, didn't you!" Rourou rolled her eyes and found a step for Yuanzi to step down.
"Yes, yes, Rou'er is really smart! Go get busy! I still have a lot to cut!" Yuanzi pushed Wenrou and continued to move.
"Brother Yuanzi also wants to participate in the competition, and he is practicing knife skills!" He smiled softly and said to himself.
At this moment, Chef Zhang's heart was in a state of turmoil, and an unknown idea secretly came to his mind...
