When Zhang Youquan heard this, he wanted to embarrass her. Being able to cook is one thing, and cooking deliciously is another.

Since she loves to show off so much, she'd better not embarrass herself later.

"Xu Ying, since you can cook, why don't you show off your skills today? We have cabbage and potatoes here. Let's see what you can cook."

Xu Ying was surprised. Today was her first day and she was able to get started. What a good thing! She thought it would take at least half a month to earn favor points, but she didn't expect it to be so much earlier.

She didn't say anything and was in a daze. At this moment, Zhang Youquan thought that she was afraid to cook. She was also an eighteen-year-old girl.

She has cooked several times and looks so tender and fair-skinned, so she must be very spoiled at home. The more Zhang Youquan thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Ying couldn't cook at all. She just learned the basic skills of cutting vegetables.

"Xu Ying, why aren't you talking? You weren't lying to us when you said you could cook!"

Sun Lifang looked at her with curiosity.

Xu Ying nodded and looked at Chef Ge: "Chef Ge, can I cook?"

Chef Ge nodded. If this girl could really cook, she could help him reduce some of his burden in the future.

Who doesn't want to be lazy? Even he wants to be lazy.

Xu Ying was delighted to see him nod.

Looking at the limited ingredients available, Xu Ying planned to have a dish of pickled cabbage with vinegar for lunch. Since she happened to have some tofu, a dish of mapo tofu would be perfect.

Zhang Youquan didn't know that his action happened to help Xu Ying. If he knew, he would probably be furious.

Several waiters in the front hall said that they were only responsible for the front hall, but they also had to do the work in the kitchen.

Gao Guihua and a few others cleaned up the front hall, set up the tables and chairs, and then started working in the kitchen.

Steamed buns and steamed rice are equally good.

Xu Ying also began to prepare the dishes she needed to cook.

As the kitchen stove started to burn, Xu Ying waved the spatula and started to stir-fry. As the cabbage entered the pot, a fragrant aroma wafted from the pot.

The others in the kitchen looked surprised.

Zhang Youquan was indeed furious. How could a little girl like Xu Ying know how to cook? He had only learned knife skills in the four years he had been here, and had not learned anything else.

Everyone was looking forward to Chef Ge retiring after working for a few years, but who would have thought that a little girl would come along, and her cooking skills seemed pretty good.

Restaurants usually cook a big pot of rice and put it on plates and wait for people to arrive before serving them.

Chef Ge glanced at Xu Ying with surprise in his eyes. He walked over curiously and tasted the pickled cabbage made by Xu Ying. After taking a bite, his face was filled with shock.

"Xu Ying, have you ever learned how to cook?"

Xu Ying nodded, then shook her head: "I watched my mother cook and learned from her."

When Chef Ge heard this, Zhang Ruomu was stunned. This girl has the potential to be a cook.

You can be like this just by learning from him. If you learn seriously from a great chef, wouldn’t you be better than him?

Chef Ge was shocked. It turned out that some people were born to do this.

Just like Zhang Youquan, I have been learning from him for four years. He usually doesn't hide his cooking skills, but this kid just can't learn it. He is so stupid.

Xu Ying continued to cook the next dish. Meat was very expensive nowadays and the restaurant only had a certain quota of meat every day.

Tofu has also become a rare commodity.

Xu Ying found some seasonings in the kitchen, prepared them all, and started making Mapo Tofu.

It's already past eleven o'clock and the restaurant is starting to fill up.

"No buns today?"

Everyone started to take up their own posts. Gao Guihua was responsible for serving the meals, Sun Lifang was responsible for taking orders, Chen Chunfeng and Gao Xianghong were responsible for clearing up and washing the dishes after the guests had finished eating.

Maybe the pickled cabbage with vinegar was particularly fragrant today, and several servings were sold out in a short time.

Xu Ying stood in front of the stove, listening to the system's voice with great joy, and her favorability points increased.

[Congratulations to the host, favorability value +1, +1, ...]

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking new recipes: spicy and sour potato shreds, stir-fried pork liver, dumplings with three kinds of fillings (leek and egg filling, pork, cabbage and green onion filling, fish filling). Randomly receive a box of sanitary napkins and a set of bath and skin care products.]

The favorability value was still increasing. Zhang Youquan became more and more annoyed as he watched more and more people asking for pickled cabbage and mapo tofu.

Someone even stretched his head and asked, "Master Ge, are you the one who cooked today's vegetarian dishes? Why are they so delicious? They smell so good!"

Zhang Youquan was about to explode with anger after hearing this.

He usually cooks the vegetarian dishes on odd-numbered days. After all, he has been here for more than four years.

Master Ge is old, so sometimes when he is too busy, he asks him to do it.

On weekdays, when he cooks vegetarian dishes, not only do fewer people come to the restaurant, but fewer people eat vegetarian dishes as well.

Today he watched Xu Ying prepare so many dishes without saying a word, just waiting for her to make a fool of herself. Unexpectedly, she did not make a fool of herself, but instead received a wave of praise.

Zhang Youquan's face looked extremely ugly, and Chef Ge took one look and then looked away.

Gao Xianghong, on the other hand, didn't mind the hustle and bustle, she looked at him with disdain and said, "Youquan, look how long you've been here, and you're still not as good as a little girl cooking.

Is it that your master is hiding something and is unwilling to teach you?"

Upon hearing this, Chef Ge quickly said, "He is not my apprentice. I cook and do everything without telling him. How can I know how he learned?"

He doesn't want such a stupid disciple. He doesn't want this kind of disciple even if he has no disciples in his life, so as to avoid ruining his reputation.

Zhang Youquan was humiliated by what Chef Ge said, and felt as if his face had been trampled on. He hated it in his heart, but he still said with shame on his face: "Chef Ge usually lets me watch him cook.

I am too stupid to learn anything, alas!

"Chef Ge, I have made spicy and sour potato shreds before, so why don't you let me make this?" Xu Ying asked, thinking about the spicy and sour potato shreds that she had just unlocked, and how she could gain another favorability point.

Chef Ge was very happy, as he could cook one less pot of food: "Okay, then you do it."

Xu Ying took the large bowl of shredded potatoes he handed over and turned on the fire again. She had already prepared the potatoes and chopped a few peppers and some dried red peppers. She also prepared the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic and was ready to start cooking.

The potato shreds are washed to remove the starch, so that the potato shreds will be fresh and non-sticky when fried.

Put oil into a pot over hot fire and put in peppercorns. When you smell the fragrance of peppercorns, take them out. Be careful not to use too big a fire so that the peppercorns are not burnt, otherwise the taste will be bad.

Remove the Sichuan peppercorns, otherwise the taste of eating one is indescribable. Leave some oil in the pan and add onion, ginger, minced garlic and chili segments, stir-fry until fragrant, then add shredded potatoes.

After stir-frying for about two or three minutes, pour the vinegar along the edge of the pan and continue to stir-fry the shredded potatoes, then add the shredded green and red peppers and continue to stir-fry.

Finally, add chopped green onion, appropriate amount of salt, sugar and MSG to season.

Turn off the fire and call it a day.

Sun Lifang, who was ordering food, shouted, "We've added hot and sour potato shreds."

Everyone heard that a new dish had been added and smelled the aroma of potatoes in the air.

Everyone came over to add more dishes.

[Congratulations to the host for having +1+1+1+1...]
