Everyone came to the kitchen.
Everyone was busy.
Compared to the army canteen, this one is much smaller, but it has a complete range of things.
"Master Zhang! I brought someone for you!"
The man in the first row on the right turned around when he heard the voice. His tall and strong figure with a slightly protruding belly fit the image of a restaurant chef.
His eyes are a little fierce and he doesn't look very friendly.
"Manager Wang."
"This is the Lin Jiaojiao I was talking about. This is our most powerful chef, Chef Zhang. He has the final say on everything in the kitchen."
Lin Jiaojiao remembered what Zhang Fang said and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Master Zhang, just call me Xiao Lin."
"This is the menu Xiaolin provided. Many leaders praised it during the July 1st holiday. We've added all of it to the new menu. If possible, we'll launch it tonight. If you have any questions, feel free to ask Xiaolin directly."
Chef Zhang didn't even take the order. He looked at Lin Jiaojiao with disdain and said, "Manager Wang, if you think the food in our kitchen isn't good enough, just tell us and we'll change it. Why are you doing this?"
“…”
Surgery in person?
Manager Wang felt a little embarrassed.
He smiled awkwardly: "Master Zhang, you misunderstood me. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the food you cook. Regular customers like it very much, but..."
"Then why are you still doing this? We're a big restaurant, and the dishes have all been carefully reviewed and considered. How can you just serve these messy home-cooked dishes? What if the guests don't like it?"
"Probably not."
"Just because she worked in the army kitchen? Those leaders are the most down-to-earth. When I went to farmers' homes to eat sorghum buns, they all said they were delicious. How can we just believe their compliments? We're targeting ordinary people, they won't buy into it!"
“…”
Manager Wang was also a little hesitant.
It's not like he hasn't thought about this issue.
However, even if we take a step back and say that Lin Jiaojiao really has no ability and is just a gimmick, then she won't suffer any loss!
Even if the food is not good, there are so many chefs here who can improve it.
Such a big living signboard here will always be useful!
"Has Master Zhang ever eaten the food I cooked?"
Lin Jiaojiao took in the expressions of the two men, but her face remained calm and she still had a smile on her face.
"Humph! I don't eat all kinds of food."
"Oh! That means you haven't eaten it. If you haven't eaten it, how do you know that what I cook is definitely not delicious? Also, you haven't even looked at the dishes on my menu, so how do you know that they are just home-cooked dishes?"
“…”
"Our leaders all say that even though life is good now, we should still live a simple and frugal life. These spare ribs are quite expensive, and you don't even look down on them? Do you usually eat delicacies from land and sea?"
"How can you talk like that! I was just talking about food, how could you take it to such a level?"
Master Zhang didn't expect that the little girl in front of him, although young, was so eloquent.
No one has given him any respect for so many years, even Manager Wang has to bow to him.
Master Zhang's face darkened. "Manager Wang, this is the person you're looking for. Besides talking, what else can he do?"
"Comrade Xiaolin, you..."
"Manager Wang, I'm just discussing the matter. I'm here to work, not to debate. This is the kitchen. Since he doesn't believe me, let me use my cooking skills to speak for me!"
The sound of quarreling here has attracted the attention of the entire kitchen.
The little girl was so fearless that she dared to challenge Master Zhang.
Chef Zhang's cooking skills are well-known throughout their island.
Apart from Master Li, his cooking skills are the best.
And they are extremely strict with their subordinates.
If you do something wrong, you will be scolded.
It's the same wherever you are, even in public, you don't give people any face.
If you dare to talk back or disobey, you will be reported to Manager Wang and fired.
But he himself is fine. Relying on his ability, no one dares to do anything to him. He is cunning and arrogant.
What's worse, some people even took food from the kitchen to their homes right in front of them.
No one dared to say it.
Although Manager Wang is in charge of the overall situation, he does not dare to provoke others easily and can only turn a blind eye.
This girl is so reckless, you can imagine what the consequences will be. She is so pretty, but unfortunately she met a man who doesn't show any sympathy for women. It really makes people feel sad!
Manager Wang has the same idea.
Even if Lin Jiaojiao is a good cook, she is young after all, so how could there be no faults?
It's obvious that Master Zhang is looking for trouble. Unless you are convinced, this matter will definitely not end.
"Xiao Lin is just here to provide the menu. Even if there are any flaws, we can just improve them. Master Zhang, I know you're strict, but there's no need to be so harsh on a little girl, right?"
"Manager Wang, I'm thinking about the entire Island Hotel. If you think I'm doing something wrong, then please find someone else!"
"What is this! Our restaurant can't be without Chef Zhang. Xiaolin, do you really want to show off your cooking skills?"
"Of course, since Chef Zhang is in charge of the kitchen, it's normal for him to have many considerations. If I can't satisfy him, I naturally have no right to stay."
"Okay! You're brave enough, so let's get started!"
Lin Jiaojiao put on her apron and started preparing the ingredients.
First up was a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs.
The movements are quick, orderly and well organized.
Another dish is seafood in sauce.
Fresh seafood is simply processed, cleaned and marinated in the prepared sauce.
While marinating, prepare the eight-treasure fish and make steamed eight-treasure fish.
Another spicy crab.
In two hours, six dishes were served.
The color combination is just right, and the presentation is absolutely beautiful!
The people around were already stunned and overwhelmed by the fragrance!
Although they are chefs, they never knew that there are so many ways to cook seafood.
Just smelling it makes people drool.
Manager Wang's originally uneasy heart was relieved after seeing Lin Jiaojiao's orderly operation.
Although he is not in the kitchen, he comes here often.
Ordinary chefs are not so efficient!
This little girl is really extraordinary!
Lin Jiaojiao picked up the chopsticks and brought them to Chef Zhang: "Please taste it."
“…” Master Zhang’s face was extremely dark. He had been a chef for more than 20 years.
Naturally, one knows how to judge a chef's abilities.
He watched it from beginning to end.
Whether it was the way Lin Jiaojiao used her knife, the way she handled seafood, or even the way she cooked, it all told him that this person was very capable.
In terms of color, aroma and taste, the first two are already met.
"What? You don't even have the courage to taste it? Are you just looking for trouble because you don't like me?"
"Ha! I'm not that bored."
