Metropolis: I Am a Full-Time Professional, Attracting Worldwide Attention

Chapter 4

Li Aimin and his wife led Chen Xuan around the hotel.

The restaurant is not big, the three halls outside, add up to 10 tables, and the largest table can seat 10 people.

In addition, there are three boxes, which can seat 12 to 14 people.

The restaurant is not decorated, the tables and chairs are ordinary, and the tableware is disposable.

This kind of restaurant can be seen everywhere on the street.

As Chen Xuan guessed, the restaurant has only one chef, Li Aimin.

I didn’t see the apprentice, I don’t know if I didn’t invite it or didn’t come.

There are also two waiters, both aunts in their forties.

“This restaurant is really small.”

“I think this kind of restaurant looks friendly.”

“There are a total of 20 chefs. Except for this little brother, the other 19 people choose Michelin restaurants. My little brother is really a bit different.”

“I’m starting to admire this little brother.”

After understanding, Li Aimin said, “Xiao Chen, you don’t really have to do anything. If you have a customer ordering, you can wash and chop the vegetables for me. I will cook the vegetables. If you want to learn how to cook, just follow me. From the perspective of it, it’s not difficult to cook, the main thing is to control the heat and taste.”

“Yeah.” Chen Xuan nodded to express his understanding.

Zhang Cuilan walked over with a brand-new contract: “Xiao Chen, this is a contract, 2500 yuan a month, including food, you can take a look.”

They used to recruit apprentices, but they didn’t sign a contract. They set their wages and gave them cash directly by the month.

But it doesn’t work now. After all, so many netizens are watching, so they must be more formal.

Chen Xuan took a quick glance and signed his name.

“Is 2500 so few?”

“Now the waiters are four or five thousand, which is really not high.”

“Is this less? Apprentice brother!”

“The apprentices are all at this price, and most of the apprentices go back to open a restaurant on their own with what they have learned.”

“Is it covered? Where does the little brother live?”

“You are really upset, there is nowhere to live with such a big person?”

After signing the contract, Li Aimin said: “Come on, let’s go to the back kitchen, I will teach you how to chop vegetables first.”

“Okay, trouble Uncle Li.”

“What’s the trouble, you come to me as an apprentice, and you must teach you what you should teach.”

Li Aimin is very talkative: “As a chef, we must have a solid basic skills. Before cooking, we must first practice knife and spoon skills. After these two are completed, we can continue to practice fire skills.”

“Do you know what fire work is?”

“knowledge.”

“Know?” Li Aimin was stunned: “Tell me about it.”

Chen Xuan said: “It is the mastery of heat, the general term for cooking techniques.”

“Hey…do you really understand?”

Li Aimin said, “It seems that I have done a lot of homework.”

He didn’t care, thinking Chen Xuan checked it on the Internet.

When he came to the back kitchen, Chen Xuan made a circle, and understood everything in various places.

The back kitchen is very clean, and the meat in the refrigerator is very rich.

There is also a large glass tank with a few fish in it.

The ingredients are fresh and plentiful, all purchased on the same day.

Li Aimin took a clean potato and threw it on the cutting board: “I will show you how to chop vegetables.”

He first divides the potatoes into two, then slices them, then stacks them one by one, and starts shredding.

While cutting, he said: “The knife should cut straight down, not fast or slow, but in a rhythmic way. Like you just learned to cut vegetables, it is easy to cut. I will teach you a method. You press the left hand of the vegetable, your finger Tuck it in, holding the knife against the phalanx so that it won’t be cut.”

Li Aimin cut for a while, then put the knife down: “I’ll go out for a while, you are familiar with it yourself.”

After Li Aimin left, Chen Xuan grabbed the kitchen knife, stared at the half-cut potatoes on the cutting board, and started cutting without saying anything.

Although his culinary skills have only first glimpses of the door, this is the standard of the system. For most people, his first glimpse of the door is enough to be a chef in a restaurant!

Sword skills, spoon skills, fire skills, etc., dare not say how powerful, but the foundation is definitely very solid.

Therefore, the moment he grabbed the kitchen knife, he felt that cutting the potato in front of him into shreds was very simple.

“DaDaDa~”

The sound of constant contact between the kitchen knife and the cutting board sounded softly in the kitchen, and potato shreds were continuously being cut out.

The speed of shredding is not very fast, but it is very rhythmic, and the thickness of each potato shred is the same, and there will be no one thick and one thin.

At first, no one paid attention, only when Chen Xuan was doing something.

After all, a person who has never been in touch with cooking, you suddenly let him chop vegetables. It would be good if he could not cut them. It is unrealistic to say how good the cuts are.

But slowly someone discovered that Chen Xuan didn’t seem to be doing it.

“I lost it, this little brother can cut it!”

“Really, this guy has definitely practiced!”

“Why pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?”

“What’s the name of this little brother?”

“Chen Xuan!”

“On the pretense of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, I am not as good as you! Starting today, you are my brother Chen!”

“After I graduated from New Oriental, I said that Chen’s sword skills are absolutely impossible to practice in two or three years.”.
