Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 247: The National First Cooking Conference, Coach Xiao Ma?
Comrade Xiao Ma has a relatively big appetite, and when he eats, he usually cannot live without meat.

For the employee meals provided by the boss,

Have a certain pursuit of quality.

Compared to her,

Xiao Han didn't have any more requests.

He eats whatever is left in the store, as long as it is made by the boss, he is not picky at all.

And when Li Rui is cooking, if he is not busy, he will definitely watch carefully from the side.

He is also very motivated.

But whenever Li Rui asked him,

"Would you like to try cooking?"

The young man always shook his head in embarrassment.

"My knife skills are not yet perfected." These are the words he always keeps on his lips.

Li Rui was very curious:
"Didn't you say before that there's a world-class cooking competition that's held every five years? Registration starts in two and a half months. If you don't practice cooking during this time, how are you going to participate?"

Xiao Han said seriously: "I, I will definitely participate in the competition, and I will be in the top ten."

At this time, Xiao Ma came over.

"Your goal isn't to be first? You're too unambitious. I'll punish you by making you mop the floor tonight."

Unintentionally, the mop had been handed to the young man.

But after hearing what Ma Jinge said, Xiao Han just looked at Li Rui.

"With the boss here, it's hard to get into the top ten."

Majingo came up with a good idea for him.
"Look, you are only 19 years old now, younger than the boss. You can sign up when he is old and can no longer hold the wok."

"Sister Ma, what you said makes sense. There's no need to worry."

Li Rui looked at the two employees helplessly:
"You're an old man, right?"

Li Rui actually had no interest in this world's best cooking competition.

He had heard the younger brother mention it.

After listening to it, Li Rui lost interest in this competition.

With only a dozen judges,

But it’s impossible to rank first or second.

Moreover, Li Rui felt that even if the whole country tasted it together, it would still be impossible to evaluate it.

It will only make people quarrel with each other.

Ultimately, eating is a very subjective matter that depends on personal taste and eating habits.

In Li Rui's heart, compared with these high-ranking judges, the customers in the store are more lovable.

He just wants to treat the shop's customers well.

And I heard from Xiao Han,

The water is very deep here.

At the beginning of the competition, there was still a free flow of competition, but now it has evolved into a system of aristocratic factions.
It has become a matter of paying respects to the boss, ranking by seniority, and discussing qualifications.

Most people simply cannot grasp it.

Just like why Xiao Han wanted to set the top ten as his goal, it was because the representatives of the eight major cuisines had already monopolized eight of the top ten places.

Restaurants of different cuisines are competing fiercely with each other.

So when the real game comes,
These eight people were basically chosen internally.

The remaining two had their turn at the Jianghu restaurant, where they had no master to teach them how to cook.

Even before these people enter the competition, they have to carefully inquire whether there will be any relatives or friends who will show up.

So for amateur chefs, being in the top ten is already a great honor.

Hearing about these dirty things, Li Rui became even less interested.

He also told his brother his thoughts:
"As a cook, just cook well."

But Xiao Han had his own reasons for participating in the competition.

"My dad was a guy who came from a small restaurant and made it all the way to the top ten in the last competition. Later, because he couldn't stand the style of the competition, he told a lot of truths. In the end, he was wrongly accused of adding drugs to the food. He is still in prison now."

"So you want to compete again, in the name of your father?"

"Correct!"

"And then revive your Xiao Family Restaurant?"

"Correct!"

"Then you still don't practice?"

"I, I" the young man's momentum suddenly weakened.

Young man,
He has a bit of a hot-blooded middle school mentality, but because of his father, he is not very popular in the circles of major restaurants in Jianghai.

Constantly changing places to work as an apprentice is also a process of being constantly suppressed by others.

Now he is more worried about facing failure.

So every time I pick up the spatula, I feel scared.

Those voices would often repeat in his mind:

"You want to cook too? I'm afraid you're going to poison me again."

"Don't learn from your father, Xiao Han."

"You will never be able to do this in your life. The boss is just pitying you when he asks you to cut vegetables."

For a kid who started working at the age of 16, these things are a bit too heavy.

The three-year apprenticeship experience must have been difficult.

But Comrade Majingo doesn't care about those twists and turns.
She faced problems.
Always throw a punch first.

"Xiao Han, do you want to sign up this time? If you don't, you will have to wait another five years."

The last time his father competed was 10 years ago.

We have to wait five years every time, and no one remembers what happened in the past.

It might even really be like what happened to the old man, and those evil people will be starved to death.

At that time, what was the point of being proud?

Li Rui also patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry, Xiao Han. I don't know much, but I will teach you without reservation."

"Boss, Sister Ma."

The young man was very touched.

Although we don't spend much time together, we spend nearly half of every day busy together.

A very deep feeling has been built up.

Encouraged by the two, Xiao Han finally made a decision:
“This time, I want to participate.”

Li Rui and Xiao Ma nodded together.
"That's right."

The registration time is in early March, and the competition officially starts at the end of March.

Xiao Han still has more than three months of training time left.

According to Li Rui, actual practice is essential, and the young man is about to start cooking in the store.

Although a small shop is a suitable place with a large customer base, some operational issues must still be considered.

The dishes made by Xiao Han can be used as sample dishes for customers to taste.

His knife skills are actually quite good.

Lack of cooking experience.

Li Rui and Xiao Han talked about the competition system and prepared to formulate a suitable training plan.

At this time, Xiao Ma found a pair of black-framed glasses from somewhere and put them on.

She said to the two of them:

"Cooking is a very physically demanding job, and physical training must also keep up."

"Starting tomorrow, you will train with me."

The little brother nodded.

Most chefs are men because they are physically stronger.

Sister Ma is right.

Li Rui pointed his finger at himself and asked doubtfully:

"Do I need it too?"

Xiao Ma imitated the tone of his former fighting coach:
"Of course, you are the chef, so you are in charge of the cooking. I am the competition coach, so you have to listen to me when it comes to preparations."

Comrade Ma Jinge's words sound reasonable.

After all, she is a contestant who has participated in national competitions. Although the content of the competition is somewhat different, her experience in preparing for the competition is indeed the richest among the three.

Li Rui also agreed to join the training:

"Okay, pony, then I'll do as you say."

Ma Jinge pushed the frame of his glasses.

"Ahem, Boss, let me remind you that you should refer to your position when you are outside."

"Okay, coach."
