I have a deep mountain

Chapter 41 Preparing for the Contest
Early the next morning, Han Dong was studying the ratio of various broths and base ingredients in the kitchen.

Suddenly the phone rang, and it was Mr. Li, the head teacher of Xinnan College who used to call.

"Hey, Han Dong, are you busy?"

Teacher Li's voice was still very familiar to Han Dong's ears. After all, he had just graduated, and Teacher Li took good care of him at school.

"Good morning, Teacher Li, whether you are busy or not, do you have something to call early in the morning?"

Han Dong was a little puzzled. He had taken his graduation certificate for more than a month, and the teacher was still on summer vacation. Why would he suddenly call him?

Teacher Li asked unhurriedly: "It's like this, have you signed up for the National Golden Chef Rising Star Competition next week?"

"Reported." Han Dong replied.

Teacher Li's tone was a little relaxed:
"Just sign up. I called to ask you to enter the competition. The college attaches great importance to this competition. The dean hopes that the graduates of our college can get good grades. After much deliberation, I still think you are the most promising. "

"But don't these cooking competitions happen often? Why does the academy attach so much importance to this competition?" Han Dong asked doubts in his heart.

Teacher Li hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully:

"In fact, this is the case. The sponsor of this competition has the participation of the national education department. At the end of the year, it is time to apply for funding for key disciplines. If our college can win the championship, then our college will be able to approve more course funding. Not only us The academy attaches great importance to this competition, Xinbei, Xindong, Xinxi, Huazhong Culinary Academy, they are all staring at this competition with all their strength."

"That's it." Han Dong replied lightly.

"Han Dong, I know the college is utilitarian, but this is also related to the reputation of the college. You are the best graduate of our college this year. The teacher hopes that you can work hard for the honor of the college, okay?"

"Well, Mr. Li, the academy has been kind to me, and I will work hard. Besides, even if it's not for the honor of the academy, I still want to get the championship prize." Han Dong said.

Teacher Li was in a good mood and said, "Okay, the teacher feels at ease after hearing what you said. If you need any help from the academy, just call the teacher."

"Okay, Teacher Li." Han Dong replied.

…………

After hanging up the phone, Han Dong tasted the two pots of thick soup stewed on the stove, squinting his eyes and carefully distinguishing the characteristics of various ingredients with his taste buds. He knew which raw materials needed to be used more, and which ones needed to be reduced or removed. Bottom.

There is less than a week before the Golden Kitchen Rising Star Competition, and Han Dong has to make sufficient preparations. If he can win the championship in one fell swoop, the bonus of 30 yuan is enough for him to realize his goal of opening a private kitchen restaurant.

Han Dongpao kept experimenting in the kitchen... until Huzi called him to open the shop.

Brother Qiang and Xiaomei came to dinner again tonight, but Logan and the others did not come together.

"Boss Han, the business is so good so early?" Xiaomei greeted from afar.

"Most of them are Logan's fans." Hu Zi said.

Eating the meals that their idols have eaten probably makes them feel happy too.

"Isn't she coming today?" Han Dong asked.

Brother Qiang said: "She knows that there are many people here, and the manager won't let it. We will pack it for him after we finish eating. This is the thermos you left at my house last time."

Han Dong took the two thermos buckets and put them aside.Maybe I won't see her often in the future, and that's right, how could she be so dazzling with me all the time?
Thinking of this, Han Dong felt a little empty for some reason. Although he knew that there was no possibility between him and her, when it happened, his mood still couldn't help being affected.

This feeling is very similar to how when he was in high school, he returned to the old house in the county town, full of joy, but he could never find Niuniu again.

The person who left light in his life suddenly disappeared, and his mood was naturally gloomy.

However, what Niu Niu gave him was the light of hope, which warmed people's hearts.

Tang Wan's light is radiant, shining, and unreachable.

The strange thing is why Logan gave Han Dong an unprecedented sense of familiarity, obviously the two have known each other not long ago.

"Boss Han? Boss Han? What are you thinking? You're so preoccupied?" Xiaomei waved her hands in front of Han Dong twice, and after seeing Han Dong regained her composure, she continued, "We want a local chicken soup..."

Han Dong calmed down and began to cook seriously. Only by devoting himself to cooking can he forget himself and be calm.

--------------

With more customers in the store, Han Dong went to the secret forest more frequently.Going to the forest to collect ingredients every day, opening the store at night until early in the morning, working hard for five consecutive days, in exchange for a profit of nearly 3 yuan.

Han Dong settled the score, took 6000 yuan out of it, and gave it to Huzi who was cleaning the table.

"Brother Huzi, come here, here is your salary for this month."

"Hasn't it been a month?" Huzi asked suspiciously.

"It will be closed for a month first. I have to go out tomorrow and I have to close the door for a while. You have worked hard for more than 20 days. Let's take a few days off first. We will resume business after I come back."

Han Dong planned to go to Crane City tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow was the start of the preliminary round of the Golden Kitchen Rising Star Competition.

"Why are you going out?" Huzi took the money, touched the thickness, and felt something was wrong, so he ordered it himself.

"I'm going to participate in the chef competition. If I can enter the finals, it will take more than half a month. If I am eliminated, I will come back in two days." Han Dong said with a smile.

"Oh." Huzi replied while counting the money, and after a while, Huzi said loudly: "Dongzi, did you count the money wrong? Isn't the salary as promised 4000? It's already 6000 here."

After finishing talking, Hu Zi will take out two thousand and return it to Han Dong.

"That's right, the business has been too busy these two days. Didn't I say that there are bonuses for good business?" Han Dong put his hands behind his back, not intending to accept it.

"I don't want it! As much as you want! 4000 is already a high salary in our county. If you want this, I'm really embarrassed to continue working." Huzi also came up with a temper, and his tone was a little firm.

"Brother Huzi, we two brothers grew up together, do you want to be so clear, I will definitely not treat my brother badly if I earn money, you can take it with peace of mind, it will be your dividend."

These days, Logan's fans came in waves one after another, and the two were often too busy to drink water, but Huzi never yelled that he was tired in front of Han Dong.Take the initiative to do things, treat customers with an excellent attitude, for fear that people will be dissatisfied, which will affect future business.

Han Dong knew that Huzi was not only his employee and brother, but also a trustworthy partner.

"However, I didn't help you much." Huzi felt a little bit ashamed, how can a waiter not be tired, and the salary is only more than 2000 after working so hard, and he got [-] at once, feeling really uneasy.

When he used to be a factory dog, he would stay on the assembly line for 4000 hours at a time, jogging to eat and go to the bathroom, and his salary was only more than [-].

Now he only needs to work from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] a.m. every day, and the work intensity is not as high as in the factory, but Han Dong drove him [-] yuan. How does this make Huzi feel uneasy?
"Dongzi, I'll just take four thousand, don't talk too much." Huzi said firmly.

Seeing Hu Zi like this, Han Dong had no choice but to say:
"Okay, then you can take four thousand, and I will save the rest for you, and use it as a stock investment when opening a new store in the future."

"Dongzi..."

Huzi couldn't help but want to hug Han Dong.

"Hey, don't...don't come here, you're covered in sweat!"
