“Boom!”
After a dull thud, Luo Hui casually tossed the handheld firework to the side, laughing heartily, and gave Qin Lang a bear hug, “Congratulations, you got second place in the scoring competition, advancing smoothly!”
Qin Lang was torn between laughter and tears as he pulled off the streamers that had landed on his head, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart, “Uncle Luo Hui, thank you.”
“How many steamed bass dishes do we have tonight?”
He rolled up his sleeves, planning to do his preparation work as usual before the start of the dinner service time.
Fortunately, dinner sendee had not started yet just after the scoring competition had ended, so he rushed straight from the Dongxia Arena.
“None.” Luo Hui patted Qin Lang’s shoulder, grinning, “There won’t be any from now on.”
“Eh?” Qin Lang blinked, “What do you mean, Uncle Luo Hui?”
Had he been fired?
“Don’t forget, after advancing to the top eight, you are already an Excellent Chef.” Luo Hui crossed his arms, “Although the title hasn’t been bestowed yet, it’s only a matter of time.”
“So…”
“Spirit Chef Qin Lang, I officially invite you to become the honorary hanging position chef of our restaurant.” Luo Hui took on a serious tone as he looked at Qin Lang.
Honorary hanging position chef…
Qin Lang was stunned.
This meant that he did not need to cook the retainer dishes, and he did not even need to come to the restaurant, yet he would receive a stable monthly income that was quite substantial.
“As for the retainer fee…” Luo Hui paused slightly, “How about one hundred thousand per month?”
“One hundred thousand?” Qin Lang couldn’t help but exclaim.
Even for a Distinguished Chef, such a high honorary retainer fee is extremely rare.
“Don’t get too excited, this is an investment.” Luo Hui let out a mysterious smile, “I believe you can go even further.”
“You have a great chance of becoming a Distinguished Chef, or even reaching a higher level.”
“So, from this perspective, I am making a big profit.”
This was the decision he’d made after watching Qin Lang’s competition live today.
Such a talented young man should not be left to gather dust in his small restaurant.
Qin Lang remained silent for a bit before a complex look appeared on his face.
“Uncle Luo Hui, thank you.” He looked deeply into Luo Hui’s eyes, “I accept.”
He would not stop here, so leaving was inevitable.
But Qin Lang hadn’t expected that the one to propose this wouldn’t be himself.
Uncle Luo Hui’s words seemed reasonable, but the help at this critical moment meant much more to Qin Lang than the future honor when he earned a higher title.
Moreover, Qin Lang knew very well that many of the restaurant’s food guests came specifically for his steamed bass dish. freeweb .co m
If he left, the popularity of Starlight Restaurant would certainly decline.
“Uncle Luo Hui, without the steamed bass, the restaurant doesn’t have a standout fish dish, right?”
“Ah…” Luo Hui scratched his head and then laughed, “No problem, I’ll just hire a few more hanging position chefs who are good at fish dishes.”
Qin Lang could only shake his head helplessly.
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
Not only is Luo Hui the owner of the restaurant, but he’s also a very skilled spiritual chef, cooking all the dishes apart from the retainer dishes.
Instead of watching Luo Hui go to other skilled chefs for help with fish dishes, why not…
“Uncle Luo Hui, let me teach you how to make steamed bass.”
The key to steamed bass is actually not that difficult, it’s just mastering the deodorization step and timing.
Given Luo Hui’s cooking skill, he should be able to learn it in no time.
“Eh?”
Now it was Luo Hui’s turn to widen his eyes.
“What…did you just say?”
“Teach Uncle Luo Hui how to make steamed bass.” Qin Lang said calmly, “This dish is so popular, if I teach you how to make it, the restaurant’s popularity shouldn’t suffer too much…”
“No, no, no, that’s not what I mean.” Luo Hui vigorously shook his head, “Are you willing to teach me how to make this dish?”
Qin Lang blinked his eyes.
Oh, forgot.
In this world, perhaps due to the existence of Food Spirits, Spirit Chefs hold the secrets to their cooking methods even more dearly.
Hence the existence of family recipes.
That’s also why the tuition fees at culinary training institutions are extremely high.
In his previous life, though there were a few, with the development of self-media platforms, sharing traditional culinary skills for more people to learn became the mainstream.
“Uncle Luo Hui, steamed bass is not difficult.” Qin Lang smiled, “Feel free to learn it, it’s nothing much.”
“This…” Luo Hui hesitated for a moment, then heavily nodded his head, “Okay, I’ll learn.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t teach anyone else.”
Qin Lang felt both laughter and tears.
Well, let him be.
The two quickly moved into the kitchen. Under Luo Hui’s watchful eye, Qin Lang demonstrated the cooking process of steamed bass and explained the key points in detail.
Luo Hui’s cooking experience was very rich, he could grasp many things at one point.
After Qin Lang’s demonstration, his first attempt at cooking steamed bass was already 60-70% as good as Qin Lang’s.
Tasting his own cooked steamed bass, Luo Hui’s face was full of admiration.
When had he ever cooked such a delicious fish dish?
Moreover, many technical points Qin Lang mentioned could not only be used in this steamed bass.
For example, removing fishy smells, mastering heat levels etc., all these could be used in almost all fish dishes.
With this experience, Luo Hui was confident that when he cooks other fish dishes in the future, at least they wouldn’t be too fishy and hard to swallow as before.
“There’s not much problem now.” After tasting Luo Hui’s cooked steamed bass, Qin Lang nodded, “Uncle Luo Hui, practice a few more times and it’ll be fine.”
“The dinner service is about to start, you go ahead and be busy, Uncle. I’ll go back.”
“Hmm…” Luo Hui was still savoring his cooked steamed bass, it wasn’t until Qin Lang was about to leave the restaurant that he suddenly came to his senses and shouted towards Qin Lang’s back, “I’ll transfer this month’s retainer fee to you later.”
“Alright!” Qin Lang had no doubts, waved his hand and left Starlight Restaurant with Dan Bao.
When he had walked several hundred meters, his phone suddenly rang with a notification.
There was a new message.
Sure enough, the message read: “Your account has received a transfer of 3,100,000 yuan.”
Looking at the string of numbers, Qin Lang rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again at the unchanged numbers, he couldn’t help showing a puzzled expression.
Why is there an extra 3?
Dan Bao, who had already learned to recognize some words, leaned over and tapped the text at the bottom of the phone screen with his big tail.
“Goo!”
There were more words here!
Qin Lang glanced over and saw a line of text from the sender: “The extra is the tuition fee.”
“Tuition fee…”
Qin lang’s expression was somewhat strange.
Maybe he should earn money by selling recipes?
With this thought quickly dismissed from his mind.
Never mind, cooking is more interesting.
“Let’s go Dan Bao, let’s go to the Food Material Market.” Qin Lang stretched, “We should stock up on the ten types of ingredients from storage No.97, and for the next five days, we’ll do closed-door preparation for the elimination competition at home!”
“Goo!”
What is closed-door?
Never mind, not important.
There’s delicious food!contemporary romance
