Brush Up Your Proficiency
#261 - Return of the Chef
Wang Hao listened to the two people's words, which seemed to imply that as long as he chose to, things could be accomplished, and he couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking:
"These two people have too much confidence in me, right? How can they be so sure that I can become popular? And a star? If I didn't know better, I'd think they knew I had a cheat code."
Seeing the topic starting to develop in the direction of celebrities and gossip, and with the trend becoming more and more intense, Wang Hao also stopped speaking. In this regard, he admitted his own overestimation.
Moreover, one mouth can't beat two, so he chose to say less.
The two women saw that they had silenced Wang Hao, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then, they stopped pressing him, but in their hearts, they were wondering what it would be like when Wang Hao appeared on the big screen in the future.
When the three bosses appeared together at the "Shi Wei Tian" base, they were greeted with a burst of attention, but this time it didn't cause as much attention as last time.
After all, familiarity breeds contempt. The employees had begun to get used to it, merely glancing at them, saying hello, and then continuing to busy themselves with their own affairs.
Wang Hao was very satisfied with the employees' reaction, feeling that this kind of reaction was right.
Then, smiling, he went to the back kitchen and looked at the situation of each station. He didn't find any problems, but he didn't return to the third-floor office to read as he had done in the previous days, but instead joined the cooking team in the back kitchen.
For the past few days, he had been inspecting the back kitchen and then returning to the office. This behavior made him feel a little embarrassed.
Although this was the normal work arrangement now, he felt that he couldn't continue like this forever. If he continued, it would seem like he was acting as a hands-off manager, which violated his own requirements.
Moreover, reading in the morning and performing in the afternoon had consumed a lot of his mental energy. After experiencing the exhaustion of mental energy last time, he inexplicably developed a sense of resistance to over-consuming mental energy.
Now, cooking some dishes could be considered a change of pace. Wang Hao felt that this arrangement for himself was reasonable.
The people in the back kitchen saw Wang Hao inspecting the area and didn't return to the office to rest. They couldn't help but guess: Could it be that the three bosses felt that they hadn't done something well?
With this thought in mind, they all subconsciously looked at Li Qiang, the second chef.
After getting along for this period of time, Li Qiang, seeing everyone's gazes, naturally understood what the others were thinking. He quickly finished cooking the dish in his hand.
He turned off the stove and walked to Wang Hao's side, curiously asking: "Haozi, why are you doing it yourself? Did you find any problems during the inspection just now?"
Due to their relationship as childhood friends, Li Qiang was the only one in the back kitchen who could ask this question so bluntly. The others had an instinctive awe of Wang Hao.
However, hearing the second half of Wang Hao's words, he hesitated, and the words he wanted to say to let him rest were blocked in his mouth.
Seeing Wang Hao's insistence, he could only helplessly convince himself: After all, Haozi is the boss, he's free to do whatever he wants, and he's already rested for a few days, so let him do it if he wants to.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang stopped dissuading him and returned to his position to start cooking again.
The others also heard Wang Hao's words. While feeling relieved, they were also happy about the return of the head chef.
Although they felt a little helpless that Wang Hao didn't go to rest and insisted on "competing" with them, Wang Hao's joining could indeed reduce their workload, which they were happy to see.
With Wang Hao's joining, coupled with the increasingly efficient work ability of the back kitchen staff, the back kitchen's response to the orders sent from the front hall became more and more efficient.
At this time, the crowd in the front hall, who were originally queuing according to the usual routine, suddenly discovered that the speed of the line was getting faster and faster, which made them happy and also a little puzzled.
However, as waves of slightly different aromas of dishes wafted over, the old customers of "Shi Wei Tian" knew the reason, because that familiar feeling was back!
"Waiter, waiter, is your head chef on duty? Don't tell me no, no one else can make this aroma!" A diner who looked like a foodie quickly called over a waiter to ask, with an increasingly happy expression on his face.
The waiter naturally knew that the three bosses were cooking in the back kitchen, and quickly replied with a smile: "You guessed right, the head chef is indeed back, but his working hours are unstable. He's taking time out of his busy schedule to come over."
The waiter's answer was somewhat impeccable, and this was what Chang Lei had told them to say.
After all, it was obvious that Wang Hao wouldn't be cooking too many times in the future. If they gave the customers too much assurance now, it might cause some customer complaints later.
The diner showed a "I knew it" expression when he heard the waiter say this, and he suddenly became excited. He quickly picked up the menu next to him and started ordering, happily saying:
"Then I'm lucky today. I've been coming for several days and haven't seen him. Today I've finally come at the right time. No, I have to order a few more dishes from your head chef."
This kind of situation was also being staged one after another at other tables. The news that Wang Hao had started cooking spread throughout the venue, and more and more people were adding dishes.
Some new customers were a little puzzled by everyone's performance, but as dishes with strange aromas were brought to the front hall, they understood and followed the example of others, ordering dishes.
The fermentation of this phenomenon resulted in the amount of dishes per table doubling.
The people in the back kitchen, who were originally a little leisurely due to Wang Hao's joining, were talking and laughing, but suddenly found that the number of dishes per table had increased a lot, which made them seem to have returned to the first few days of the opening.
"I was too naive. I thought that with the three bosses taking action, we could relax, but the diners are not fools. Seeing that the three bosses have started cooking, they have also started to take action!"
The people in the back kitchen sighed with some helplessness, looking at Wang Hao with an expression that they didn't know whether to cry or laugh?
Chang Lei, the manager who was always paying attention to the restaurant's situation, naturally discovered this situation immediately, and was also a little emotional, but thinking about it, it was taken for granted. If there was no change, it would be abnormal. Then, he began to fully dispatch the front hall staff.
In this suddenly accelerated pace of work, everyone continued until "Shi Wei Tian" closed, and they finally had some free time.
"Congratulations, your cooking skill proficiency overflowed + 6, current total overflow proficiency: 8540"
As the cheat's prompt appeared, Wang Hao, like a perpetual motion machine, finished cooking the last late-night snack and stopped. Looking at the nearly six hundred overflow proficiency points that had been credited to his account again tonight, he felt a burst of comfort in his heart.
