It's not too late to love again

Chapter 316 Fainted in front of him

Xiaoying was sweating constantly on her forehead, and her face was flushed. Even if she was a little nervous, it was because she was too hot.The kitchen of a small restaurant is not comparable to that of a high-end restaurant. The ventilation here is poor and it is very hot. In addition, Xiaoying is wearing a mask, which makes her sweat drip from the heat.

"Master, look, this...is it okay?" Xiaoying looked at Wu Guoli with big clear eyes, showing a bit of nervousness and expectation.

Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin beside him were still working, but they both focused on Master Wu at the same time, watching him pick up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it in his mouth, they couldn't help but frowned at the same time , but in my heart I hope that the result of Master Wu's taste will be "not good".

Since Xiaoying is a novice here, even if she cooks a dish, she will not be sent directly to the table, but will be tasted by Master Wu before she is allowed to take it out if she thinks she can pass the test.This is Master Wu's right and also his principle of doing things. It can be seen that he can become a top chef not only because of his cooking skills, but more importantly, he has a sense of responsibility for food.

When Fandi came last time, Master Wu asked Xiaoying to act as the second cook temporarily and cooked two dishes. At that time, there was twice-cooked pork, but today's twice-cooked pork is more improved than last time. .

Wu Guoli was chewing the meat, his expression was flat at first, and then he nodded slightly before asking the waiter to take out the dish.

Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off her sweat and said, "Master, is there anything else I can do?"

Master Wu looked at Xiaoying, and waved his hand: "Don't do anything now, go out to get some air, see that you are sweating, go drink some water."

Xiaoying glanced at the master gratefully, and walked out of the kitchen silently.In fact, she really needs to rest. She has been working for several hours without drinking a sip of water or sitting down to rest. Now her feet are weak.

Xiaoying poured a glass of boiled water, and went out through the back door of the restaurant, blowing the air to cool off before going in to continue working.

It was hot in the kitchen, but the autumn wind was blowing outside. As soon as the back door was opened, there was a gust of cool wind. Xiaoying couldn't help shivering, and at the same time felt dizzy.

He hurriedly supported the wall to stabilize his body, his whole body was weak as if he was about to go limp.I didn't feel uncomfortable when I was working before, but something went wrong when I stopped. I was sweating, but now I feel very cold.

What's going on here?Xiaoying touched her forehead, it was very hot, but was it because she had been working in the kitchen for hours or was she sick?

Her body is no better than before. Her foundation is poor and her physique is weak. If she gets sick, it will be too bad. If she misses work, the boss will definitely deduct her wages again...

Xiaoying sighed in her heart, poured the water in the cup into her belly with gulp, and stood up with difficulty.

"Hold on a little longer, and go to the pharmacy across the street to buy medicine after the customers leave...Maybe she caught a cold while sleeping last night." Xiaoying muttered to herself, and went back to work with force... She only had a 3-minute break .

Master Wu was busy cooking, only saw Xiaoying came back, and didn't pay close attention to her abnormality, not to mention that she was still wearing a mask, so others would not see how frighteningly pale her face is now.

Continue to be a helper for the master, and everyone will work together to make the guests at the reserved table tonight have a happy and satisfying meal. This is the unanimous idea of ​​Master Wu and Xiaoying, but sometimes things are often counterproductive.

"Master Wu...Master Wu..." came the anxious voice of a waitress, and it sounded like something had happened.

"What are you doing in a hurry, and talk slowly when you have something to do." Master Wu glanced at the waitress in red at the kitchen door, and continued to cook.

"Qiuxia, what's going on, it makes you anxious." Ah Xiang also asked curiously.

"The guest said to replace the dish of twice-cooked pork just now!" Qiu Xia looked at Xiaoying angrily, "It's all your fault, there is a hair in the twice-cooked pork, it's disgusting to look at, who can eat it, now it's good, Replace the whole plate of twice-cooked pork, and wait to be scolded when the boss comes back later!"

"What? Have hair?" Master Wu's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked at Xiaoying, just as the boiled fish in his hand was ready.

Xiaoying was also shocked, and stood there in a daze...how could there be hair?She wears a hat all the time, and, she is the one who cooks the food, and it's fine after careful inspection. Where did the hair come from?

But now it's not about finding out how the hair got in, but trying to find a way to solve the problem.

In the hall outside, Shui Han and the others were all looking at the twice-cooked pork in front of them.

The golden and shiny meat slices, the green and white garlic sprouts, combined together is a very appetizing dish, but there is a hair about seven or eight inches long lying in the middle of a pile of meat slices, which can be seen at a glance. How can it not affect people's appetite?Can the chopsticks still be used?
Everyone at the table frowned. They had been looking forward to the twice-cooked pork, but now they were disappointed.

Master Wu came out with the boiled fish, with a pleasant smile and a very gentle expression. He put the fish on the table and immediately apologized to the guests.

"Several, I'm really sorry. It was our negligence. This time, the cooked pork will be replaced immediately. May I ask whether you should cook another fried pork or another dish?"

The store's attitude is very important to the customers. As humble as Master Wu, it is impossible for Shui Han and the others to deliberately embarrass him.

"Let's fry another dish of twice-cooked pork."

"That's right, it's just twice-cooked pork. This plate of meat actually looks delicious and smells good. If there is not a hair somewhere, I can't help but eat a few more pieces." Tong Fei licked her lips as she spoke. , swallowing saliva greedily.

Master Wu smiled unchanged, nodded in agreement, and reached out to bring the twice-cooked pork on the table.

"Several slow use, this is our signature dish boiled fish, the taste is not bad... Enjoy your meal, everyone, I hope this plate of twice-cooked pork will not affect your mood." Master Wu is very polite and speaks with a sense of proportion. All the people at the table turned their attention to the boiled fish, and naturally they would soon ignore the twice-cooked pork.

"Okay, it's okay, let's continue to eat, and the twice-cooked pork will be served soon." Yan Jiyun spoke, but his light tone had the effect of finalizing the final word, indicating that this matter is over.

The boiled fish really improved everyone's happiness index, everyone ate very happily, even the two cute little ones could eat a few pieces without being afraid of spicy food.

The fresh and tender fish meat was so fragrant, Tong Fei nodded repeatedly after eating, and kept saying that it had been a long time since she had eaten such authentic and delicious Sichuan-style fish, and she was already thinking about eating it next time before she finished this meal.

Shui Han and Yan Jiyun also had a relaxed expression on their faces, saying that it was so spicy and delicious.

Although Fandi also buried his head in eating, but for some reason, his eyes couldn't help but aim at the place where he had put the cooked meat... Unfortunately, there was hair in that plate of twice-cooked meat, and it was so obvious that it would be off-putting to look at, so no one noticed it. He didn't want to touch the plate of meat, but he would never forget that there was twice-cooked pork in the dish he ate last time, and it was the same dish he ordered today.Because...he remembered that the stir-fried pork here was very similar to the one Xiaoying once made.

In the kitchen, both Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin were condemning Xiaoying, sneering and speaking very harshly.

"I said she was a waste a long time ago, I was right!"

"What a shame. We usually cook very hygienically, but she lost a hair in it. It's disgusting..."

"..."

Xiaoying stood aside and did not refute. She was thinking, how did she get her hair into the dish?Did she really fall in by accident?This is her cooking. If something goes wrong, she will certainly feel uncomfortable. Even if it's just a hair, it seems like a trivial matter, but she knows very well that this matter will definitely become an excuse for the boss, regardless of whether it is her fault or not. She will be deducted wages...

Master Wu came in, put the dish of twice-cooked pork with hair falling into it on the stove without saying a word, and then started to fry another portion.

The master's silence made Xiaoying feel a little uneasy. She really wanted to explain that she didn't find her hair when she was putting on the plate, but would the master think that she was shirking responsibility?
Xiaoying's uneasiness was immediately relieved when she saw the plate of twice-cooked pork clearly... At this moment, she can be sure that it's not her fault!Because this hair is so obvious that it can be seen at a glance. If she accidentally fell in, she and Master Wu should have discovered this plate of meat when it was in the kitchen. She remembered that the master had a piece of meat to taste .This means that the hair did not fall onto the plate until after the dish had left the kitchen.

After Xiaoying figured this out, she felt more at ease and more confident.

At this time, Master Wu suddenly stopped Xiaoying... "Apprentice, take out this plate of freshly fried twice-cooked pork." He was cheering her up, signaling her not to panic because of what happened just now.

Xiaoying was overjoyed, nodded heavily, and stretched out her hand to take the twice-cooked pork...With the trust of the master, Xiaoying felt more at ease.She also believes that the master's eyes are discerning, and after decades of working in this industry, he won't be able to see even the little tricks.

Xiaoying was dizzy and very uncomfortable at first, but now because of the understanding and support of her master, she was refreshed and seemed to feel that she had a little more strength, so she turned around and went out with the dishes.

The reason why Master Wu specially asked Xiaoying to go out to deliver the food, of course, has no deep meaning.

The two waiters and Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin were all called into the kitchen by Master Wu. Seeing Master Wu's face was ugly, several young people couldn't help beating their hearts, and someone even stood in the corner with a guilty conscience.

Master Wu's dark face was covered with haze, and his angry eyes swept across the people in front of him: "Who did the hair in the twice-cooked pork, this person knows it by himself. Xiaoying is honest, but don't forget My eyes are staring, stop showing off your self-righteous cleverness in front of me! Some people put things in the dishes indiscriminately in order to punish Xiaoying, regardless of the feelings of the customers. Come on, don't be an example!"

With a low growl, full of anger, the majestic momentum that was rarely seen in the usual skyrocketed in an instant, and the rest of the people did not even dare to breathe out. That Qiuxia couldn't help trembling, and looked at A Xiang in panic, but A Xiang Don't turn your head and look at her... Does he dare to look at her?Master Wu was too shrewd, he was afraid that he would reveal his flaws if he was not careful, but he didn't know that although Master Wu didn't directly say who did it, his heart was already clear.

Master Wu was really angry, he underestimated the ugliness of people's hearts.In order to punish Xiaoying, someone deliberately put strands of hair into Xiaoying's fried dish, and it was about the same length as Xiaoying's hair. If I guessed right, it should have been picked up by Xiaoying when she was not paying attention. The purpose of killing three birds with one stone is to kill three birds with one stone. Although it is just a single hair, there are too many problems involved... If Master Wu thinks it is Xiaoying's fault, first of all, Xiaoying has just been taken away. As an apprentice, he is so careless in doing things, and Master Wu is very serious about food. Everyone knows his temper for decades. If Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin lose their hair in the dishes, they will definitely be caught Master Wu reprimanded him.
