Eating two bites of fried noodles, then putting a piece of steamed, fragrant and delicious soy sauce meat into your mouth and chewing it together, it feels so delicious.

I originally thought it was a very passable late-night snack, but I didn’t expect it to be so delicious.

I really envy Yan Bao and the others. They can eat takeout when they are hungry in the middle of the night, but I can only eat the fried noodles made by Xu Bao. Alas, I really want to experience the feeling of ordering terrible takeout, but it is a pity that I don’t have this opportunity.

She thought happily while eating, and then took another bite of fried noodles. It was so satisfying!

At the same time, in the store.

It's time to get off work, but the lights are still brightly lit in Linji, and several construction team members are busy carrying refractory bricks and the required high-temperature-resistant cement upstairs.

In the kitchen on the second floor, Wei Gan fried a portion of roast lamb, fried some gluten, and made two cold dishes. After Ning Xiaoli explained the construction team's rectifications, he walked over, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked curiously:

"Aren't you afraid that Lin Xu will deduct your salary if you eat like this?"

"We, Lin Ji, have strict rules, but when it comes to food, even if we eat a whole pig for one meal, Lin Xu won't care. Otherwise, why do you think the employees in the store support him so much?"

At this time, the building materials had been moved, and Wei Qian said to the other remaining employees:

"Go and lock the door downstairs, and then come over and eat together. If you want to eat something else, you can go in and do it."

After all, Wei Qian is the chief chef. Even if he stays, he can't be a bare-bones commander here. So when Shu Yun got off work, he specially arranged for a few assistant chefs to stay and help him greet him.

These guys will work the evening shift tomorrow, and they will receive an additional allowance of about 200 yuan, which is considered as compensation for tonight's shift.

The chefs didn't come over to join in the fun. They returned to the kitchen and planned to take advantage of this opportunity to cook their own favorite dishes.

It just so happens that Wei Qian is here, so he can give you some advice.

Wei Qian opened a can of beer and handed it to Ning Xiaoli, smiling and saying:

"We will be colleagues from now on. All the unhappiness in the past was due to drinking."

After saying that, he picked up another can of beer and took a few sips.

After a long night of work, my voice is almost hoarse. It’s quite comfortable to have some cold beer now.

"Colleague? I didn't say I wanted to work here."

Ning Xiaoli took a sip of beer, turned her face to look at the construction situation, and then said:

"I plan to find a better roast duck master and hone my skills. Although Lin Xu is good at cooking, he doesn't know how to roast duck, so I have no intention of staying."

Wei Qian's face was full of question marks:

"Where did you find out that Lin Xu can't cook roast duck? Although we have known each other for less than a year, but based on my understanding of him, he can cook all the dishes in the store, and even cook them very well. Only after eating it will he have the idea of ​​​​making something new... I am not bragging, his current level of roast duck is definitely very high, otherwise he would not play like this."

Ning Xiaoli’s hand holding the vegetables trembled slightly:

"Really?"

"Why are you lying to me? Lin Xu is a very interesting person. In the two cooking competitions, he always comes up with unexpected new tricks, and from beginning to end, he gives people the feeling that he has not exhausted his efforts. For ordinary dishes, he can't do it at all. Just don’t use your full strength.”

In order to support his statement, Wei Qian turned on his mobile phone, logged into the short video platform, found Liu Bo's account, turned to the short video posted yesterday, clicked play, and then pointed the screen at Ning Xiaoli:

"Look, what do you think of this roast duck?"

Ning Xiaoli took the phone and looked at it. It was shaped like a lilac leaf and covered with a layer of red and shiny duck skin. It looked like a hanging oven roast duck.

The next plate is standard elephant eye slices, which is obviously braised roast duck.

The video is very short, just a picture of two plates of roast duck placed together, and the accompanying text is also very simple, only saying "La la la, let's eat roast duck for lunch today."

Look at the uploaded location, it is Longqishan Scenic Area in Yinzhou City.

If I remember correctly, this scenic spot belongs to Lin Xu’s family.

Ning Xiaoli's mouth twitched, thinking about her wrong judgment, she couldn't believe it:

"He knows how to cook roast duck? How is it possible? If he hadn't practiced since childhood, it would have been impossible to reach a very high level."

Wei Gan took a sip of beer:

"I used to think so too. It wasn't until the day of the last competition when I won second place in the whole pig decomposition section that I realized that my pig-killing skills, which I had practiced since childhood, were actually surpassed by a college student."

Ning Xiaoli was feeling confused at the moment, unable to accept this fact.

He picked up a piece of roast lamb and put it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then said:

"When the roast duck oven is finished, I will officially compete with Lin Xu. If he can surpass me, I will stay and work for him. Otherwise, I will continue to go back to Diaoyutai."

Wei Qian grinned and touched Ning Xiaoli with his beer:

"I welcome you in advance to join Lin Ji. If I guessed correctly, Lin Xu will let you serve as the head chef of the roast duck department. You will be on the same level as Zhu Yong and Qin Wei. I was the first to join and took advantage of it, so I became I became the head chef."

In fact, the reason why Wei Qian was appointed as the head chef was not only because he joined early, but also because this guy has a lot of clever ideas.

For example, when he was about to leave in Building 1, he took a vacation and rested for a month under the nose of He Baoqing, and even kidnapped Qin Wei.

This kind of talent who does not stick to rules is naturally suitable for management.

As a roast duck master, Ning Xiaoli has a very obvious duck characteristic - a tough mouth.

He took a sip of beer and said:

"I won't know if I can stay until the roast duck competition is over. My family is not short of money, so I don't just work for others."

The roast duck oven will be built tonight and will not be used until at least forty-eight hours later.

If this is the case, then let’s compete the day after tomorrow.

At that time, you can ask your third uncle to come over and be the referee, so as to avoid Lin Ji's people from getting side-tracked. I heard that some people just tell lies in order to curry favor with the boss, so you have to be careful.

After finishing a can of beer, Ning Xiaoli got up and went to the oven to check the progress.

Don’t forget about business just because you’re drinking.

And if he really wants to stay and work for Lin Xu, he will be responsible for the roast duck stove. He must repair it to perfection to avoid using his 100% cooking skills.

In front of the dining table, Wei Qian took his mobile phone and sent the bet he just made to Lin Xu.

Ning Xiaoli has real abilities, and Lin Xu is also very satisfied with him, so as the head chef and good friend, he naturally has to help out.

At home, Lin Xu was about to wash the dishes after eating fried noodles. When he saw the message from Wei Qian, he was immediately happy.

Isn’t this just throwing yourself into a trap!

"Are you confident in the roast duck competition?"

Wei Qian asked worriedly.

Lin Xu smiled and replied:

"Let Ning Xiaoli tell me the clothes size and prepare to customize the chef's clothes."

At this moment, Dundun's midnight snack has been prepared, egg yolk mixed with chicken breast, and the little guy ate it happily.

Shen Jiayue scratched its forehead and said:

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you. Eat and drink enough and go to bed early. Mommy will take you to the Ginkgo Garden to see the little whites tomorrow, okay, honey?"

When Dundun heard this, she immediately rubbed Shen Jiayue with her plump little butt.

It can't wait to share what it has learned about Yinzhou with the little animals.

The prehistoric monster-like Xiao Xia, the Quarrel King who chatters all day long, Xiao Hui, Da Jin, etc. are all very interesting friends.

Shen Jiayue confirmed her plan for tomorrow, turned to look at Lin Xu and asked:

"Xubao, let's go to the Ginkgo Garden tomorrow. What are you going to do?"

"I'll go to Yanjing Hotel in the morning, say hello to Master and the others, and take a look around the kitchen. I'll come back after lunch and start working on things in the store."

Lin Xu's first priority now is to keep Ning Xiaoli, and put other things aside for the time being.

Shen Jiayue then asked:

"By the way, cousin Wenqing also wants to eat the roast duck you cooked. When can I taste it?"

"The day after tomorrow, the oven in the day after day store is officially opened. By the way, I will discuss the roast duck with the new head chef of the roast duck department."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu's mind sounded a system prompt...
