Chapter 94 As long as the hoe swings well

Telling Xia Qiu that what she wants is Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, preferably a chef with Huaiyang cuisine, Shen Yemei has no hope.

If an ordinary high school student could solve her problems, wouldn't her life be in vain at her age?
However, she likes Xia Qiu's concern very much. Whether she can do it is one thing, but whether she is willing to help is another.

When she got home, she saw her two daughters who were "singing flowers in the backyard across the river", and she fell in love with Xia Qiu even more.

She envied Yiyue, Yiyi was beautiful, Qiuqiu was sensible, and her life was getting better now, but she was not as satisfactory as Yiyue in all aspects except for having a husband who was almost nonexistent.

This eldest daughter is also a disappointment, after seeing Yiyiyi, she didn't even have the courage to pry the corner of the wall!
Although she told her eldest daughter that Xia Qiu already had a girlfriend, with an attitude of giving up, she actually wished her eldest daughter could wield a hoe and dig Xia Qiu into her own home.

Do you want your little daughter to try it?

Thinking of her little daughter's character, Shen Yemei shook her head.

It's better not to harm Xia Qiu.

The nanny prepared dinner, and her husband didn't come home as usual. The youngest daughter was still there just now, and she went crazy in a blink of an eye. She had dinner with the eldest daughter and went back to the room on the second floor.

The layout of her villa is different from that of Yi's house, with one large bedroom, three medium bedrooms, and two servant rooms in the basement.

After simply washing the untired body that bred the tired spirit, Shen Yemei lay down on the left square, soft and soft, and slept on the right bed alone.

She has been separated from her husband for many years.

Before going to sleep, she completely forgot what Xia Qiu said about helping her find a chef, and only thought about her daughters and the restaurant.

This time I felt drowsy, dreaming a lot, I forgot the moment I opened my eyes, and my head was not clear.

After receiving a message from the restaurant manager, her groggy head was compounded.

According to the contract, the head chef who said he would resign one month in advance began to slow down.

She went to the restaurant and asked the chef what he thought in a friendly voice.

The chef only excused his physical discomfort and did not listen to persuasion.

Shen Yemei was so angry that her teeth itched, but she didn't dare to get angry at the other party at all, and she didn't even dare to say anything serious.

The chef is just passively sabotaging his work now. If he is scolded by her and goes on strike, or messes up the dishes, the trouble will be even greater.

She, who needed comfort the most, restrained her aggrievedness and comforted the chef, then sat in the lounge and sulked.

The manager came in and told her that a chef had come to apply.

She didn't pay attention.How can a well-known and well-known chef need to apply for the job himself?It is always the restaurant that invites you or introduces you through a middleman.

She thought the chef was a wild cook who had heard the news and came here by herself, but she didn't think of Xia Qiu at all.

She asked the manager to go through the procedure, take the chef to the kitchenette to cook a few dishes, and then politely declined.

After a while, the manager came back and told her that something was wrong.

The small kitchen is not very big and is not often used, and is occasionally used for staff meals.

The chef who came to the door on his own initiative, a chef in his 40s, was cooking the second course.

A bright red squirrel mandarin fish was placed next to the stove. The fish was caught with two chopsticks. The manager tried it.

Shen Yemei took a new pair of chopsticks and picked up a chopstick fish.

The moment she put it in her mouth, she thought to herself:

Found a treasure!

The fat chef made five dishes, all of which were as delicious as the first one. Shen Yemei asked him to stop and asked him what salary he wanted.

The other party's asking price was a bit higher than that of the former chef, which was very reasonable.

Shen Yemei is not a connoisseur, she can't tell the difference in taste, she only knows that the fat chef is not inferior to the former chef, from an aesthetic point of view, the fat chef's dishes are much better looking than the former chef's.

In mid-to-high-end restaurants, the dishes must be good-looking as well as delicious. She commented that the fat chef is worth the money and has impressive cooking skills.

Moreover, the cuisine that Fat Chef is good at is exactly the Huaiyang cuisine she wanted.

Fearing that the rain would run away in time, Shen Yemei urged the manager to prepare the contract, anxiously watching the fat chef check the terms.

After the fat chef finished writing, she finally felt relieved.

"Your craft, I don't know which restaurant it was originally from?" She asked.

On the one hand, I was curious, how could such a chef be unknown.On the other hand, he is alert. If he knows his former work unit, he can ask someone to ask.

A chef not only needs to have good cooking skills, but also has to pass the test of character, otherwise the whole restaurant will be thrown into chaos.

If it weren't for the fat chef's cooking skills, this investigation should have been placed before signing the contract.

"Xiao Chongshan." The fat chef was taciturn, and stopped after saying only three words.

Shen Yemei was both happy and surprised. She was happy that Xiao Chongshan was a well-known high-end restaurant in Yulou City next door. She was surprised that the chef of such a high-end restaurant came here alone to apply for the job. the arrogance?

She asked directly: "For a chef like you, why don't you tell me in advance what kind of test you want, we are a little neglected."

The fat cook was very surprised: "Didn't you contact me?"

Shen Yemei and the manager looked at each other, both of them were confused.

Shen Yemei thought, could it be that the husband who was fooling around suddenly had a conscience and found the chef?
The fat cook solved the mystery: "Mr. Xia introduced me."

Shen Yemei immediately thought, when did her husband change his surname to Xia?
Then an incredible, very O'Henry, person who was both reasonable and unexpected flashed through his mind.

"Xia Qiu?" She blurted out.

The fat chef nodded and explained briefly: "My daughter has settled down here, and I'm thinking of staying here too, looking for a restaurant close to home for retirement. Mr. Xia and I recommended this place."

Shen Yemei was even more puzzled, Xia Qiu, a student, how did he know Xiao Chongshan's chef?Why is this fat chef called Mr. Xia Qiuzuo Xia?

She could see that when the fat chef mentioned Xia Qiu, his expression was very solemn, which was a sign of respect. Where did this respect come from?

She asked carefully, the fat chef only said that he met Xia Qiu online, and kept silent about the rest.She was very itchy, wishing to break the fat chef's mouth.

Putting aside her doubts, she thought of the former chef in the main kitchen, and a bad idea came to her mind, so she held her breath and discussed with the fat chef.

The fat chef agreed to Shen Yemei's request with a little trouble.

Shen Yemei led the fat chef to the main kitchen, not saying that this was the new chef, but only that he was the new chef.

The former chef did not take the fat chef seriously.

It was time to order his dishes, but he didn't move, not caring that Shen Yemei was standing beside him.The helper chef reminded him, so he assigned the second chef to do it.

"Let me do it." The fat chef stepped forward and handled the ingredients skillfully.

The former chef's eyes gradually widened, and the body that was slumped on the chair slowly straightened up, stood up again, walked behind the fat chef, and stared at him cooking in a daze.

After the dish is ready, put it on a plate, the helper chef handed it to the waiter, the former chef opened his mouth and raised his hand to stop the dish for a taste, but finally endured it.

Shen Yemei stayed in the kitchen all afternoon, ignoring the fumes and noise, admiring the ex-chef's distraught appearance, wanting to look up to the sky and laugh.

The rest of the chefs were also stunned by the fat chef. The second chef asked Shen Yemei in a low voice, what is the origin of the fat chef.

Shen Yemei said loudly on purpose: "Xiao Chongshan."

When she got home at night and sat at the dining table to eat, she couldn't help laughing when she thought of the astonished eyes and pale face of the former chef after hearing that sentence.

The eldest daughter asked her what she was laughing at, but she was perfunctory and had no time to explain.

After quickly finishing a small bowl of rice, she leaned on the armrest of the sofa and sent Xia Qiu a message on WeChat.

In three seconds, Xia Qiu didn't reply, so she made a video call, but no one answered.

She couldn't wait, and called Yi Yue.
