It's not too late to love again

Chapter 330 Vatican's Crisis 1
Master Wu felt as if he was waiting for everyone to pronounce a sentence, and he couldn't help but breathe a little harder.He knew that somewhere not far behind him, someone was watching secretly, and he hoped that the result would not disappoint her.

Finally, someone spoke...

"Hmm... crispy and delicious, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, less heat will make it uncooked, more heat will make it mushy... not bad." The chef of Juncheng Hotel made such an evaluation after eating , and still picked up another piece.

The other two chefs were also nodding frequently, with smiles on their faces, obviously affirming the dish of spicy chicken.

Master Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became very carefree and comfortable, with a bit of pride in being a master.Although he has confidence in Xiaoying's cooking skills, bringing Xiaoying here today has a deeper meaning. It is to pave the way for Xiaoying's future. This move seems to be gratifying, but it is actually full of adventures .

If Xiaoying's cooking cannot be recognized by these people, then she may not be able to get a ranking in an upcoming cooking competition... because, among the few people present, two are the judges of the cooking competition, Among them is Luo Kaixuan.

Therefore, what Master Wu did today is to test the tastes and subtle psychology of the two judges... If he knows that the spicy chicken is not fried by him, he will not give a fair evaluation, if he deliberately gives a bad review, then, cooking The fairness of the contest is questionable. .

Master Wu was really well-intentioned, and the comments he heard at the moment made him feel that his thoughts were not in vain, except that he was happy.

"Hehehehe... they're all experts, so I won't be foolish. That's right, I didn't fry this dish, it was my incompetent apprentice who fried it. You don't say it's not delicious. Let me thank you on behalf of my apprentice." It's over!" Master Wu raised his glass cheerfully, nodded slightly at the people present, and drank it all in one gulp.

These polite words are actually Master Wu's modest statement. Generally speaking, the more he says his apprentice is "not successful" in this situation, the more it represents the master's love for the apprentice.Irony, can you bring it here if you are not good enough?

Everyone was stunned at the same time, and they were surprised that Master Wu actually accepted an apprentice?

"Old Wu, when did you accept your apprentice? Why didn't you make any noise beforehand? Can the apprentice you accept be called successful? Then don't our apprentices have the face to come out to meet people?"

"Hahaha, that's right, Old Wu, too much modesty is pride! This dish is obviously won by you, and it looks like a master, and you still say that the apprentice is not good enough? You...you are really mad at us!" The chef of Juncheng said that he kept talking, and he was still eating the spicy chicken. It seemed that he really liked this dish.

Luo Kaixuan looked at Master Wu with a meaningful smile on his fat and round face: "Old Wu, your move is really good... Is there something behind?"

Luo Kaixuan belongs to the kind of person who "has a pig's face and a loud heart". Don't look at him with a simple and honest smile, but he is actually very shrewd. Otherwise, how could he be in charge of such a large hotel chain group.

After Luo Kaixuan said this, everyone here understood, and suddenly thought of the cooking competition that will be held soon, there are two judges sitting at this table!

Master Wu sat down leisurely, obviously in a beautiful mood, seeing that Luo Kaixuan had talked about this, he no longer concealed it, and said flatly: "That's right, I brought my apprentice here today because I have a little selfishness, let She will test the waters first, if the dishes she cooks can be liked by everyone, I, as the master, will let her go to the cooking competition with confidence, but there is one thing I have to declare in advance..." Master Wu said here, his face paled. became a little serious.

"Who is my apprentice, I will not make it public for the time being. I don't want to use the back door to solicit relationships. I just want my apprentice to get a fair evaluation from the judges in the cooking competition. If I let her come out to meet everyone now, I'm afraid there will be favors during the competition." Therefore, everyone’s recognition of this dish today has already made me, Wu Guoli, very pleased. If I thank you, I will not say more, just drink two more glasses in a while!” Master Wu is straightforward and upright. Everyone here knows it, so everyone will not be surprised by his actions. It would be strange if he is willing to use the back door to make connections.

Everyone understands that Master Wu will not disclose his apprentices for the time being.Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.All the people here are connoisseurs. You can know the level of a cook by just one dish. Obviously, Master Wu's apprentices are very good.

Everyone raised their glasses one after another, praising Master Wu for taking in a good apprentice, and Luo Kaixuan's smiling eyes also had a strange light...

Before Luo Kaixuan opened his mouth, Shao Qing had already taken a step forward.

"Master Wu, this spicy chicken dish suits my taste very much, I like it very much... how about this, invite your apprentice to work in the Chinese restaurant of Juncheng Hotel after the cooking competition, what do you think?" Shao Qing's calm expression was at this moment There was also a glimmer of expectation, and his wise eyes looked at Master Wu quietly, as if he didn't feel how shocking his words were at all.

Juncheng Hotel Chinese Restaurant?In a six-star hotel, can an unknown culinary apprentice enter Juncheng?No one would believe this, it's incredible!
The chef from the Juncheng Hotel restaurant couldn't help being stunned, and looked at Shao Qing in disbelief... But no matter how shocked he was, he still held back his objection, because Juncheng is the property of the Yan family, And young master Yan Jiyun is Shao Qing's son-in-law.Shao Qing's recruitment of talents for Juncheng is also a meaning that the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is reasonable.

"Juncheng is a six-star hotel..." a chef whispered.

Luo Kaixuan raised his brows, and said unwillingly, "Wu Guoli, in fact, I am also very optimistic about your apprentice. If you can come to work in my Dakaixuan's restaurant, it will be a good choice for your apprentice, right?"

The scene was suddenly quiet, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange circle... How did this happen, Shao Qing and Luo Kaixuan actually valued so much a person who had never even met in person here?Still want to recruit them?
Why?To put it bluntly, it is not surprising at all.The reason lies in Master Wu.He never accepted apprentices, but now he has accepted an apprentice, that is to say, that person will be the only successor of Master Wu, and he must have all his true inheritance, and Master Wu is a figure that many high-end hotels cannot invite with a lot of money. He has an apprentice, can he not be sought after?His apprentice might become the second Wu Guoli, even surpassing him is not impossible.

How can a businessman be short-sighted? Shao Qing and Luo Kaixuan's vision is too high and far-sighted, and they are quite sharp. If they seize this opportunity to snatch talent, they will be idiots if they don't!
"Old Shao...Your father-in-law is really considerate. You are so considerate of your son-in-law's family." Luo Kaixuan looked at Shao Qing helplessly.

"Talents, those of us who are elders should do our best to support them, give more opportunities to young people, let the culinary art continue to be passed on, and give them more space to play. This is more interesting than eating and drinking." Shao Qing said, intentionally or unintentionally. He turned his head and looked at a place not far to the left. With his keenness, he had already noticed that someone was hiding there, and he guessed it was Master Wu's apprentice.

Master Wu couldn't hide his inner joy, he laughed loudly: "Two... Listen to me, two. I thank you for your kind invitation on behalf of my apprentice, but I can't decide this matter. What development path my apprentice will take in the future, I will only guide and will not forcefully interfere, everything depends on her own wishes."

Shao Qing was not at all surprised that Master Wu would say that, let alone that Luo Kaixuan would rob him.

"Okay, Master Wu, I've already said what I said. If your apprentice wants to come to Juncheng in the future, you can come to me at any time." Shao Qing said straightforwardly.

Luo Kaixuan's small eyes rolled around: "Hey, Master Wu, I and Shao Qing have the same meaning. In addition, by the way, let me tell your apprentice about the cooking competition. I hope she will go all out. I won't be partial, but I wish you She got a good grade!"

Xiaoying hid in the dark and listened to what the people in the gazebo said. Although she couldn't hear everything clearly, she still heard the key content.Especially the part when both Shao Qing and Luo Kaixuan invited her to work in the hotel, it was a joy for Xiaoying!
Behind the flowers, a thin figure was covering her mouth and trembling slightly, her eyes were full of water... At this moment, she really wanted to cry, not because of sadness, but because of ecstasy.All the sufferings and sins are gone at this moment. A person who has been struggling in the dark swamp for a long time finally sees the light. She can do anything now. Crying and laughing are all her sacrifices to herself. The painful past... It is precisely because of the painful past that Xiaoying's appreciation today is extraordinarily precious.Only she herself knows how difficult it is, from the moment she fell off the cliff in a car accident, to the time when she experienced nine deaths, broken, and lost, until today she has the opportunity to cook for these gourmet experts and masters. Acknowledgment, affirmation... How difficult it is to get to this step, she used to dare not even dream about it, but now it has truly come true.

Leaving aside the culinary competition, what I gained from cooking this dish today was a great encouragement to Xiaoying, giving her a new orientation and confidence in her own level.Before that, she was still hesitating about whether to go to the cooking competition, and she suddenly felt uneasy, but now, she felt that she should go, and she had to go without a doubt!

It has nothing to do with the ranking, what is important is a positive attitude and a devout heart for cooking.Looking at the men in front of me, each of them is middle-aged, and they all have different backgrounds, but their enthusiasm for food and their spirit of excellence in cooking skills deeply moved Xiaoying.She also wants to learn from these people. Since she loves cooking, she must have a passionate and tireless heart.

Xiaoying hid in this small corner, crying and laughing for a while, her tears were wet and then dry, dry and then wet, and her excited mood could not be calmed down for a long time.She is just a person with no background, she has only been to junior high school and has not yet graduated, she is a person whose appearance has been ruined... Such a self is lucky to be appreciated by others, this is the first time Xiaoying feels fate looking after her.

In the gazebo, Master Wu, Shao Qing and others ate, drank and chatted. The atmosphere was naturally harmonious and pleasant. Sometimes they talked about food and cooking, and sometimes they talked about Master Wu’s mysterious apprentice. The topics all revolved around "cooking skills". Everyone has a strong interest, and some have been cooking for 30 or [-] years, but the spirit of tireless pursuit and learning is still very strong.

They are all worthy of respect. Xiaoying was also inspired and became more determined to take this path. As for the choice of Juncheng Hotel and Grand Triumph Hotel, Xiaoying did not have too much excitement and confusion after the ecstasy. She has self-knowledge, now is not the time to go to work in a big hotel, as the master said, she has to wait until after the cooking competition to make a decision.

If it were someone else, she would definitely become overly excited at this moment and start to be impetuous and proud, but Xiaoying didn't.The hardships of life are a kind of tempering for her. She has grown up and her heart has matured a lot. She will not get carried away when she encounters such a big good thing, and she will still be the down-to-earth Xiaoying.
