After finishing his meal, Guo Xianjin walked up to Yu Hui with a grin, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Yu, you cooked a really good meal, I'm so full!"
"Having stayed in the village for so long, this is the first time I've ever had such delicious food cooked in a large pot!"
Yu Hui scratched his head and replied, "You flatter me."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Guo Xianjin got back to the main topic.
"By the way, didn't we agree on this at noon?"
"If you cook well, you'll be the head chef for this big pot of food. Are you willing?"
“This…” Yu Hui hesitated.
"Your wages will still be paid. I discussed it with Brother Qiang, and we'll give you 1,800 a day. Today we'll make it half, 900."
"They still have money?"
Hearing this, Yu Hui narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"What do you think? It's all up to you; no one will force you," Guo Xianjin said.
He had been in charge of so many weddings and funerals, but this was the most satisfying meal he had ever had.
Especially that big pork knuckle.
Soft, chewy, and bouncy, it melts in your mouth!
People who don't eat fatty meat simply can't understand that kind of pleasure.
He now hopes that Yu Hui will agree.
That way, I can enjoy the delicious food.
In order to get Yu Hui to agree, he even discussed it with Guo Fuqiang and raised the head chef's salary to 1,800.
Chef Wang's salary is only 1,500 yuan.
In addition, he had to share the money with several older women, so he only received a thousand yuan a day.
"Let me think about it."
Yu Hui stroked his chin, deep in thought.
I finally got three days off, just to go back to the village to have some fun and rest.
If I take on this job now, won't I be busy for several more days?
After thinking it over, he was still reluctant to accept it.
Just as he was about to refuse.
A mechanical sound came to my ears.
[Ding! Host is detected hesitating. Hidden mission activated!]
[Hidden Mission: Accept the task of being the head chef for this rural banquet and receive 200 positive reviews.]
[Task Reward: Secret Chili Sauce Recipe (Comparable to Lao Gan Ma!)]
"Damn system, are you trying to kill me?" Yu Hui complained inwardly.
"Back to host, the mission isn't mandatory!"
"Rejection or acceptance is the host's choice."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui fell into deep thought once again.
This chili sauce isn't really necessary for me.
At least during the process of setting up a stall, this thing is not needed.
But think about it carefully.
If the express delivery business takes off...
This chili sauce should be very popular.
After all, it's comparable to Lao Gan Ma in quality.
At that time.
If the chili sauce sales pick up, I can be a hands-off boss and just sit back and collect the money.
No pain, no gain.
This road is still okay!
In the end, Yu Hui accepted the task and agreed to take on the job.
......
"Oh, what a coincidence," Yu Hui said with a smile.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Chef Wang stubbed out his cigarette.
On the way home.
Yu Hui accidentally discovered Chef Wang squatting at his doorstep.
I guess they were deliberately waiting for me here.
Although it was fair competition, he always felt like he was stealing someone else's job.
I feel a little sad.
Just when he thought Chef Wang had come to cause him trouble, he heard him say:
"Master Yu, I'd like to ask you a question."
"The braised pork you made today has such a beautiful reddish-brown color, and it tastes delicious too."
"...It's almost comparable to a family-cooked meal."
Chef Wang has been cooking in the village for over ten years, always preparing meals in large pots.
While not exceptionally skilled, he was able to support his entire family with his craft.
He had always thought that communal meals meant large portions and plenty of food.
Only a home-cooked meal can produce a truly satisfying flavor.
But after eating Yu Hui's cooking this time, he realized that even communal cooking could be so delicious!
He came this time with a learning mindset.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "So they weren't here to cause trouble..."
"Well, to make delicious braised pork, you've already won half the battle if you caramelize the sugar properly."
"There's also a specific order in which you add the seasonings..."
Upon hearing these words, Chef Wang suddenly realized what was going on.
Wow, there's so much to learn about cooking!
After chatting for a few minutes, Yu Hui prepared to go back to his room to enjoy the air conditioning.
He had only taken a few steps when he heard Chef Wang call out to him.
"Chef Yu, are you formally trained in cooking? How do you know so much about cooking?"
After this conversation, Chef Wang's fondness for Yu Hui skyrocketed.
It turns out he's not only a great cook, but also incredibly polite...
"No, I'm just quite interested in cooking," Yu Hui said modestly.
Upon hearing this, Chef Wang became even more curious.
"How do you know so many cooking techniques at such a young age?"
"I usually enjoy watching cooking videos, and occasionally I study recipes and try cooking myself. Practice makes perfect, and over time I've learned how to do it," Yu Hui casually offered an excuse.
I can't just tell him to his face.
I am the chosen one with a cheat code!
Cooking is a piece of cake for me, right?
Putting aside whether others will believe it, this behavior is just too despicable.
after all.
Not everyone has a cheat code!
"Oh, no wonder!" Chef Wang suddenly realized.
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again: "Master Yu, there's one more thing!"
