She knew her own daughter well. She was lazy, vain, greedy and smelly. She was definitely not a gentle and kind woman. Her only advantage was that she was quick-witted and quite clever.
That's why she suspected that Lin Cuiping was secretly bullying the young chef...
Is it that Lin Cuiping is not in a hurry to eat now, just to announce the good news to Song Xiaochuan's mother? Is she too excited about others winning the award?
Lin Cuiping paused in excitement. Her mind was indeed quick, and she quickly found an excuse for herself: "Jichuan is the chef of our restaurant. If he wins the award, the restaurant's business will be boosted in the future. If the restaurant's business is good, my bonus will double, and I will definitely be happy!"
After saying that, she ran away quickly, her mind full of Aunt Song's happy expression.
Since she knew about Aunt Song's miserable experiences last time, Lin Cuiping did not look down on her, but felt that it was really amazing that Aunt Song raised Song Xiaochuan with such weak shoulders. She was wrong, but those shameless and bullying trash men were wrong!
She also has a soft side in her heart. Especially when facing Song Xiaochuan and his mother, Lin Cuiping always unconsciously wants to protect them.
Although she didn't seem to have given much, Song Xiaochuan always made delicious food for her.
In Jingbei, Li Chuchu's eyes widened: "Third place? Third place in the preliminary round?!"
Xie Yunshu was so happy that she finished the meal that Li Chuchu brought in one gulp, and then laughed: "I told you, our chef is amazing."
This is really too amazing!
The top 20 chefs are all chefs from local restaurants, and most of them are around 40 years old. They have rich experience in cooking. Song Xiaochuan is so young and is a chef in a private restaurant. It was really beyond everyone's expectation that he got this ranking.
Chen Jingxue's eyes curved, "When summer vacation comes, I really want to take the kids to Haicheng for some fun, and go to Hai'an Hotel to taste the cooking skills of Chef Song."
Li Chuchu didn't say anything. She felt mixed emotions when she thought about what she had secretly said in her heart before.
She originally thought that Xie Yunshu would be inferior to her in every way, but now she finds that she is inferior to Xie Yunshu in every way. She did a lot of stupid things out of jealousy. In the end, it was Xie Yunshu who helped her to successfully complete the performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
"Well, then I'll go with my sister-in-law..." Li Chuchu held back for a moment before squeezing out a sentence: "This Dragon and Phoenix looks delicious..."
Xie Yunshu glanced at her and said, "We don't have this dish in our restaurant."
Their restaurant is currently positioned as a fast food restaurant. Although Song Xiaochuan is a good cook, it is not a high-end restaurant. The ingredients used in the dish "You Long Xi Feng" are all very expensive, and the price is definitely not cheap. If it is served on the table, I wonder how many people will accept it.
Chen Jingxue had eaten this dish before. She thought for a moment and said, "Some restaurants were originally small stalls. Since you chefs are so good, you can try making this dish. The former Guobin Hotel used this dish to entertain foreign guests and leaders. The price was 88 yuan."
Xie Yunshu was shocked: "How much? Eighty-eight yuan for a dish?"
Based on the profit margin, she thought that the price of this dish at more than thirty yuan was already too high.
"After all, it's a high-end cuisine. Not to mention ordinary people, even people like us can't eat it once a year." Chen Jingxue smiled and said, "You know, even if you have money, you may not be able to eat the authentic dish. Many chefs don't even know how to cook it."
Cooking skills require practice, and practice has costs. Which restaurant has the money to use sea cucumbers to let its chefs practice cooking skills?
So it was unexpected that Song Xiaochuan won high points with this dish.
But they couldn't have imagined that this dish was actually Song Xiaochuan's first time making it...
Li Chuchu watched the TV and said, "I haven't eaten this dish either...but..."
She changed the subject, not to deliberately anger Xie Yunshu, but to speak the truth: "It seems that the chefs who entered the finals of the first session have all come to Beijing North. I remember that many restaurants hired them at high prices. Your chef is still so young, will he be willing to continue working in a small restaurant?"
Xie Yunshu hadn't thought about this question, but she believed in Song Xiaochuan's character: "Even if Xiaochuan wants to move up, I won't stop him, but he will definitely tell me in advance."
"Maybe he wanted to leave a long time ago? It's a waste to make fast food with such good cooking skills."
Li Chuchu analyzed: "Why else would you participate in a chef competition? You have to prepare all these ingredients yourself, and the registration fee seems to be expensive, right? If you don't make it to the finals, you have to pay for your own travel, food and accommodation. You must want to stand out."
Xie Yunshu didn't say anything. Song Xiaochuan's cooking skills were indeed not suitable for fast food. He originally couldn't speak, and was bullied and ostracized when he went to other restaurants, so he stayed in his own restaurant wholeheartedly.
Of course, the salary she offered was not much worse than that of the hotel, and even with the year-end bonus, it was higher than that of the hotel! But if Song Xiaochuan became famous and went to a better hotel, then his future prospects would be unlimited.
Maybe she should also consider finding a new chef...
The TV show is coming to an end, and now it is the turn for reporters to interview the contestants. Song Xiaochuan has become famous in one battle. Although there is no final yet, as the youngest chef, he is the object of reporters' interviews.
Unfortunately, Song Xiaochuan rejected all of them. He was afraid to speak, and if it weren't for the prize of the camera, he wouldn't even dare to participate in the competition.
The finalists all had a separate interview, which basically lasted for one or two minutes. When it came to Song Xiaochuan, he just said one simple sentence: "I am a chef at Haicheng Hai'an Hotel."
reporter:"……"
This pretty little chef seems a little too shy.
But Song Xiaochuan didn't care about these. He didn't tell anyone that he came from Haicheng to participate in the competition. Only his mother knew about it.
After the competition, I entered the finals. I was very calm. After coming out of the TV station, I packed my things, carried my bag and took a bus home. It seemed that I was just going out to do something. I didn't feel nervous about the competition at all.
As soon as he got home, he stopped and was suddenly at a loss.
Lin Cuiping leaned against the door: "I thought you would not be willing to go home until the finals are over!"
Song Xiaochuan quickly shook his head: "There is still one week, which is too long."
Lin Cuiping was not angry. She took the bag from him and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to participate in the competition? You went to Hangzhou by yourself. Did anyone bully you?"
Song Xiaochuan continued to shake his head: "No."
No one knew him, he looked very young, and no one paid any attention to him before the results of the competition came out.
Lin Cuiping finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Is the final on the 15th of July? I'll go with you then."
