Chapter 94 Refuse the invitation
Liu Wenke seemed to have anticipated the possible reaction and was not in a hurry.
"Old Zhao, to be honest, I really like Xu Yang. Of course, it's out of my love for talents, so I have the idea of recruiting."
The reason is simple, but no problem.
Anyone who saw Xu Yang wanted to recruit him to become the chef of his own restaurant.
For example, Zhao Leijun hopes that Xu Yang can stay.
Then Liu Wenke continued: "Actually, you can contact Xu Yang in private, no matter what the result is, you will not know, but I thought about it carefully, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing in private, because no matter whether Xu Yang agrees or refuses Same result."
"If Xu Yang agrees, then after leaving your Jincheng Hotel to join our Xiangyun Hotel, it is easy to get the news. Xu Yang refused, which means that he has no fate, and with Xu Yang's cooking skills, I don't think it is the best choice to stay in the hotel. , maybe it’s more appropriate to open your own store.”
Xu Yang agrees with this.
From the beginning, I thought about opening a restaurant of my own.
However, there are not many dishes to unlock, so I temporarily gave up this idea and decided to leave when there are enough dishes.
Not to mention too many unlocks, at least there must be more than 30 dishes.
Now there are only a few dishes away from 30 dishes, Liu Wenke is not wrong to say so.
Of course, opening a restaurant of your own has many advantages.
For example, you can decide the number of times you cook every day and what dishes to cook. Many things can be done directly without discussion.
It will be much more relaxed than in a hotel.
It's just that there are not enough dishes to unlock at present, and there is no plan to leave for the time being.
But Xu Yang himself also knew that this time should not be long.
What Zhao Leijun also had to admit was that Xu Yang would not necessarily stay in the hotel.
But he still shook his head and said, "Old Liu, I agree with what you said, but this is not a reason to poach people in front of me. No matter what Xu Yang's final choice is, at least he is still the chef of our Jincheng Restaurant."
"I was too impulsive. I have already said what I said and there is no reason to take it back. It's still up to Xu Yang's choice. I can also promise in advance that your treatment will not be too bad."
At this time, Xu Yang stood up and shook his head.
"Chef Liu, thank you for your kindness and praise. As for coming to Xiangyun Hotel to be a chef, I have no idea in this regard. I will still choose to stay at Jincheng Hotel at the moment. What happens next cannot be decided now."
The two people talked and talked to no avail.
It is still up to Xu Yang, the person involved, to stand up and make a decision.
As soon as he finished speaking, he could clearly see the disappointment in Liu Wenke's eyes.
Xu Yang didn't care about this.
I am not familiar with Liu Wenke, and this is the first time I know Xiangyun Hotel.
No matter how good the offer was, he remained unmoved.
Zhao Leijun smiled: "Old Liu, you heard it too. Xu Yang's decision is to stay. I will pretend that this matter never happened, and I will not mention it again in the future."
Zhao Leijun can understand Liu Wenke's love for talents.
But that doesn't mean it's acceptable.
"Okay, let's pretend it never happened."
"I don't say it, it's fine if you don't say it, and other people won't say it. I don't want this matter to affect our communication and relationship."
Zhao Leijun didn't think about making things big, so he just took it as a joke.
The words just now were meant for himself, Liu Wenke, and others, so that they can understand the solution to this matter.
If other people knew about this, the communication would probably stop there.
It happened once, maybe it will happen a second time.
In other words, the leader hopes that this kind of thing will happen many times.
"I know what to do."
After speaking, Liu Wenke glanced at Xu Yang again.
"Xiao Xu, I was the one who was abrupt about what happened tonight. Don't pay too much attention to it. It's like what Chef Zhao said. Nothing happened. I hope there will be more communication in the future."
"Chef Liu, I don't take this matter to heart. I understand your thoughts, but I also don't want something like this to happen again."
Such a thing is only allowed to occur once, and the possibility of a second occurrence must be eliminated.
"Of course." Liu Wenke agreed without hesitation.
Liu Wenke and Zhou Zhe sent the five of them to the door of the hotel.
Their car, Liu Wenke, had been driven out just now, and is now waiting in the parking space in front of the hotel.
"Old Liu, just send it here, there is no need to be so polite between us."
"Alright, I just have something to do, so I'll send you here. Be careful on the way back at night."
"Do not worry."
After the five people got into the car, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone has different reasons for taking it easy.
Xu Yang relaxed because he finally no longer had to pretend to be his identity.
When he came, Zhao Leijun told him that in order to show the image of the chef of Jincheng Hotel, he must show that he is a good cook after arriving at Xiangyun Hotel.
He had some cooking skills, but it was really difficult to show off, so he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As for others, they can roughly guess some.
For example, Zhao Leijun may have two reasons.
One is that the cooking exchange ended in victory, and the other is that he did not agree to Liu Wenke's request.
Just now, it was obvious that Liu Wenke was serious and could give Xu Yang a better offer, what if he offered an offer that no one could refuse.
Of course there is no need to worry now.
As the head chef, Tian Mingzheng probably had similar ideas to him.
The father and son have their own reasons and ideas to some extent.
When the car drove out of the restaurant, Zhao Leijun said, "Everyone shouldn't have to go back to order."
Several people shook their heads at the same time to express that they would not go back, mainly because they did not do anything when they went back, it was unnecessary.
Seeing that they all said no, Zhao Leijun nodded and said, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Cai and Master Cai, you all have a good rest tomorrow."
Xu Yang will rest tomorrow, and the two of them are of course no exception.
Then he continued: "It's true that there's no need to go back to the hotel. According to how far you live, I'll send Master Cai and the others home first, then Xu Yang, and finally Tian Mingzheng. I don't mind."
"No comment."
"I have no problem with the chef. We don't live too far away, so we should send them home first."
All four are fine.
We didn't call a driver tonight, and Zhao Leijun, as the head chef, was driving. He had the final say in the arrangements.
Besides, it is very suitable according to the distance of home.
You can't send someone back first, and then send someone back. If you don't go along the way, you have to run back and forth, wasting more time.
"Xiao Xu, you stole the show tonight, how do you feel?" Tian Mingzheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked.
"To be honest, Chef Tian was very nervous during the whole process. Although I am very confident in myself, it would be a lie to say that I am not nervous when cooking in front of many chefs. Fortunately, there was no such thing as reviewing dishes or cooking mapo tofu. No matter what went wrong, tonight’s cooking exchange was successfully completed.”
From the beginning to just now, it seemed that Xu Yang behaved normally, somewhat nervous.
"Hahaha." Tian Mingzheng laughed.
"It's normal to be nervous. I think I was also nervous when I was cooking in front of many chefs for the first time. At that time, my solution was to pretend that there were no people around me, as if I was cooking at home. Made a mistake because of nervousness.”
"Xu Yang, judging from your performance tonight, you are much better than Cai Yuan."
At this time, Cai Yuansong, who was sitting in the last row, also spoke.
Xu Yang turned to look at him and smiled, "Master Cai, you can't say that. How can I be better than Brother Yuan?"
After speaking, Cai Yuan also shook his head.
"Xu Yang, you can shirk the rest, but there is really no need to shirk this. We are just telling the truth. I said during the day that the facts are the facts. Of course, I will not give up and will catch up soon."
Hearing the first half, Xu Yang wanted to refuse.
After hearing the second half, I instantly gave up this idea.
Cai Yuan said that he wanted to start catching up, since that's the case, he can continue on his own.
The next thing to do is to continue to work hard and not let Cai Yuan surpass.
This alone is not enough, what needs to be done is to widen the gap between them.
"Brother Yuan, I'll wait, but I will also make progress."
"Really? This is the best, otherwise it will not be a challenge for me."
Zhao Leijun, who was driving, listened to the conversation of the three of them, and interrupted: "By the way, Master Cai, you just said that you have time to talk about it. Is this what you are talking about?"
"Correct."
Then, Cai Yuan explained to Zhao Leijun the ins and outs of targeting Xu Yang.
"In terms of cooking alone, Xu Yang does have an advantage. As for other aspects, there is really no way to guarantee it. However, you all want to improve your cooking skills, so this choice is not wrong."
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Zhao Leijun agrees with the current situation, and also agrees that Cai Yuan regards Xu Yang as his goal in cooking.
Because we had to choose a target, Xu Yang was the only suitable candidate.
These chefs and head chefs are all around 50 years old, and there is a gap between their ages in their teens and 20s.
And Cai Yuan was many years late in becoming a chef, so it is not particularly appropriate to target them.
Another point is that it is very difficult for them to improve at this stage.
If you regard them as goals, it means that you have seen where the end point is, and you can just work towards this goal, and there is almost no challenge.
Xu Yang is different.
He is very young, only 24 years old, and he has only been learning to cook for a few years, which is a very suitable goal.
The most important thing is that Xu Yang is still making progress, and it is more challenging to take this as a goal.
After all, while you are making progress, others are also making progress. Only when you make progress faster than your goal, will you have a chance to catch up or surpass it.
"Chef, I have the same idea as you, that's why I made Xu Yang my target."
Xu Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Yuan, what I said originally was that we set each other as targets, why did everything change all of a sudden in just one day."
"Xu Yang, it's not that everything changed in one day, but I just arrived yesterday. We don't know you very well. We don't know the specific situation. We all got the news from Tian Chu. Without knowing the specific situation, It is normal to make a wrong judgment, and this is the situation that should have been."
Cai Yuan said it very seriously.
What else can Xu Yang say about this.
You can't say that you have a system, which is why you have improved so fast.
Just accept it.
Anyway, what they said makes sense. He will improve very quickly. It is very appropriate for Cai Yuan to do this.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your promotion, Brother Yuan, and I won't wait for you."
"Xu Yang, it's still the same sentence, just do what you have to do, don't need to think about us."
"clear."
Tian Mingzheng said with a smile at this time: "It just so happens that everyone is here tonight, the progress between Cai Yuan and Xiao Xu, we are here to be a witness, how about it?"
Hearing Tian Mingzheng's proposal, Cai Yunsong answered immediately.
"It's a good thing. I think it's okay. What do you two think?"
"I have no problem." Xu Yang replied immediately.
If he has any opinions, it would be a good thing for them to supervise it.
Cai Yuan also smiled and said: "There is no reason, I agree with both hands."
"Since you have no objections, the matter is settled. The other three of us are witnesses tonight."
Zhao Leijun didn't speak.
He didn't reject Tian Mingzheng's proposal, which means he agreed, otherwise he would raise an objection.
"Actually, let alone surpassing Xu Yang, I now feel that it is very difficult to catch up with Xu Yang, mainly because such talent in cooking is beyond the reach of others." Cai Yuan sighed with emotion.
"Cai Yuan, why don't you have confidence in yourself just from the beginning?" Tian Mingzheng turned to look at him and said.
Cai Yuan shook his head: "Chef Tian, it's not that you don't have confidence in yourself. You have been in touch with Xu Yang for so long, and you must know his cooking skills very well. This is not the most important thing. The progress is too fast. Even this The taste of this kind of Mapo Tofu can be improved, I can’t even imagine it.”
Hearing what he said, Tian Mingzheng subconsciously nodded.
"You're right about that. I remember that it's not long since Xu Yang improved Mapo Tofu last time, and each improvement is huge."
After finishing speaking, the two looked at Xu Yang at the same time.
Seeing the two staring at him, Xu Yang smiled.
"Tian Chu, Brother Yuan, I still say the same thing. Mapo tofu is my best dish. I'm always researching it. It's normal to have breakthroughs."
He didn't know why the topic returned to Mapo Tofu.
It's normal if you think about it carefully.
No one from the chefs of two five-star hotels, Jincheng Hotel and Xiangyun Hotel, can make this Mapo Tofu dish, which shows how sensational it is.
"Okay, okay, we all know this. Cooking skills are not just about a dish, so the most important thing is to make yourself better." Cai Yunsong said.
"Master Cai is right, your trial is the most important thing."
With Zhao Leijun's words, the matter was finalized.
Then several people did not continue to entangle in this issue.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Cai Yuansong's community.
"Master Cai, you are here."
"it is good."
After the two got out of the car, Cai Yunsong stood on the road and said, "We will be home soon, please slow down when you go back."
"We are not in a hurry, of course we will go back slowly."
As a veteran driver, Zhao Leijun drove very smoothly.
There was no sudden braking or too much bumps in the journey just now. In short, it was very comfortable to sit in the car.
