Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"To be honest, these four applicants have all performed extremely well. It's really difficult for me to make a choice right away..."

Liu Suyu spoke first and expressed her feelings frankly.

"Yes, the Yong Tau Foo they each make not only has its own flavor, but the cooking skills are also equally good. It's really hard to make a decision in such a short time..."

Fei Juanfen nodded in agreement and then proposed the candidates she preferred: "But if I have to choose, I think Zheng Yaohua and Zhao Weiguang are quite suitable."

"Director Liang, we are not very good at cooking. How about you and Chef Huang make the final decision? We will listen to you..."

Other leaders also echoed this, and then everyone's attention was focused on Huang Jun.

After all, he is an expert in this area.

Liang Yinqiu also turned his expectant gaze to Huang Jun and asked sincerely: "Huang Jun, as an expert in cooking, which applicant do you think is more suitable to be your future assistant chef? At the same time, I also want to know what you think of the two candidates mentioned by Director Fei, Zheng Yaohua and Zhao Weiguang?"

Huang Jun nodded slightly when he heard this and fell into a brief contemplation.

Every detail of the four applicants' cooking performance flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, and he secretly compared their strengths and weaknesses.

After a moment, he slowly said, "The cooking skills of these four applicants are indeed very good. It is not easy to choose the most suitable one from them. But if we look at their grasp of details and future development potential, I think Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze may be slightly better."

Liang Yinqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "Oh? Can you tell me more about your opinion?"

She was not too surprised that Zheng Yaohua was mentioned.

After all, he has excellent cooking skills, rich experience, and a background in working in a kindergarten kitchen, which undoubtedly adds a lot of points to him.

But she was a little surprised when Meng Hongze was chosen, and the other leaders also showed surprised expressions.

You know, among these four applicants, although Meng Hongze's performance was good, it was not the most outstanding.

Huang Jun explained in detail: "Zheng Yaohua did a great job in seasoning the stuffed tofu dish, and the tofu was fried at a good temperature. Although the heat was a little high, his overall performance was still excellent. As for Meng Hongze, he used the traditional stuffing method and the filling was blended very well, but the seasoning was a little too much, but the overall flavor was still great, and his knife skills and other aspects were excellent, and he has great potential..."

Although Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang both came because they admired his cooking skills, and he personally recommended them to apply for the job, he should have tried his best to secure a position for them.

But what can be done...

There are only two spots for kitchen assistants this time!
As the chef of the garden, Huang Jun must be fair and select the best candidates based on their actual performance.

So, I’m sorry, Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang…

This time you may not get what you want.

He silently expressed his helplessness in his heart.

"Well, Chef Huang, your analysis is indeed very accurate." Liang Yinqiu nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face.

Huang Jun looked around at everyone and added, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The final decision still needs our joint discussion. Let's take everyone's opinions into consideration and make the most appropriate decision."

"Chef Huang, your culinary accomplishments are obvious to all. We will naturally follow your opinion and completely trust your judgment." Everyone expressed their opinions.

"In that case, let's follow Chef Huang's opinion."

Liang Yinqiu said firmly: "After all, this is to select an assistant chef for Chef Huang, and your feelings and judgment are undoubtedly the most critical."

Afterwards, the group returned to the applicant.

Liang Yinqiu coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and officially announced: "After comprehensive and in-depth consideration by our team and multiple rounds of detailed discussions, we now announce our preliminary decision to everyone. After strict screening, the two applicants, Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze, have successfully won our favor with their outstanding abilities and outstanding performances, and will serve as our assistant chefs. As for the two applicants, Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang, we would like to express our sincere apologies. Unfortunately, you were not selected this time. But we are very grateful for your efforts and preparations for this opportunity, and we hope that you can find a more suitable stage for yourself in the future."

When Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze heard the news, they were immediately delighted.

Hahaha~
Admission may be late, but will never be absent!

Zheng Yaohua rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement. He cheered loudly: "Great, I was finally admitted! From now on, I can eat every day..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly paused.

That's right!

What he originally wanted to say was "From now on, you can eat delicious meals made by Chef Huang every day", but then he thought that such words might seem too straightforward and not elegant enough, and everyone would laugh at him.

When he thought of this, he swallowed the words back and quickly adjusted his thoughts, changing his unfinished words to: "From now on, I can follow Chef Huang's footsteps every day and learn the exquisite cooking skills in depth."

Meng Hong smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth turned up, and he could hardly close his mouth. He nodded repeatedly and said happily, "Yes, I feel very lucky to be able to work with such an excellent person like Chef Huang!"

Before, if he still had even the slightest doubt or uncertainty about this job, then after witnessing Huang Jun's accurate and incisive comments and learning that Huang Jun was the one with the "golden tongue", all his doubts were mostly gone, and he came to believe that Huang Jun was indeed capable.

If I work with him, I will definitely learn a thing or two from him.

of course.

In this world, where there is joy there is sorrow.

This is not!

When Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang heard the news that they were eliminated, their faces instantly darkened and they could hardly hide their inner frustration.

They could barely accept losing to the highly skilled Zheng Yaohua, but losing to the young Meng Hongze was a result they had never expected...

They looked at Huang Jun expectantly, hoping to use their past friendship of "having helped him before" to make him feel pity for them and say a few good words for them, thus reversing this unfavorable situation.

pity!

Reality is always so cruel and ruthless.

There was only helplessness and apology on Huang Jun's face; he was unable to give them the answer they wanted.

Faced with this situation, Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang felt as if their hearts were filled with mixed feelings, with sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty all mixed together, which was beyond words.

Hey!
You said that they could work together when they applied for the job, and you could teach them cooking skills, but you secretly hired someone else at the last minute...

Hey!
Chef Huang, you are so treacherous and unfaithful...

Finally, Yu Daqing plucked up the courage and decided to face Liang Yinqiu and Huang Jun to seek a clear answer.

He took a deep breath and said, "Director Liang, Chef Huang, I understand that the competition this time is very fierce, and I respect your final decision. But I still want to ask, what aspects did I not do well enough to cause me not to be admitted?"

Zhao Weiguang nodded in agreement when Yu Daqing spoke, "Yes, Chef Huang, Director Liang, I really want to know the reason. I think I put a lot of effort into making stuffed tofu, and it's not inferior to Meng Hongze in terms of taste and color. What's more, I have more work experience than him, so I should have more advantages..."

Meng Hongze: "..." Oh my god~
Zhao Weiguang, what do you mean?

Are you questioning my cooking skills?
Did You Know…

I am known as the "most talented young chef"...

If there weren't so many people around, he really wanted to argue with Zhao Weiguang right away.

But for now.

He had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart.

After all, arguing at this moment will only put yourself in a more embarrassing situation.

But he was still angry and gave Zhao Weiguang a cold and warning look, which said, "You can question my character, but you cannot question my cooking skills."

If looks really had lethal power, then Zhao Weiguang would have been pierced by this invisible blade and fallen down countless times.

At the same time, after hearing what Zhao Weiguang said, Zheng Yaohua's eyes inadvertently swept across Meng Hongze's face, which looked as if he had eaten a fly. He felt no emotion in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

But he knew very well that this was not the time to smile, so he suppressed his smile and just raised the corners of his mouth slightly. At the same time, a barely perceptible sense of pride quietly arose in his heart.

This pride does not come from contempt for others, but from confidence and pride in one's own cooking skills.

From another perspective, Zhao Weiguang's words just prove that Zheng Yaohua's cooking skills have won everyone's unanimous recognition.

His admission is a well-deserved honor!

At this time, Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu exchanged a knowing look.

Huang Jun then broke the silence and replied, "Chef Zhao, Chef Yu, the shortcomings we mentioned in the comments just now are the decisive factors for your failure to be selected. It is true that Meng Hongze may not have as much work experience as you, but in terms of the accuracy of knife skills and the proficiency of cooking techniques, the level he has shown is completely on par with you. More importantly, he is the only one who can skillfully use the traditional brewing method, which is very rare. Therefore, Meng Hongze was admitted because he performed very well in all aspects..."

Liang Yinqiu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we assess not only work experience, but also many other abilities and qualities. Meng Hongze has done quite well in this regard, and his cooking skills are outstanding in all aspects, so he stands out."

After hearing these words, Meng Hongze's depressed mood seemed to have found an outlet and disappeared.

He raised his chin slightly, with a hint of pride and relief in his eyes, and looked at Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang: "See, the eyes of the masses are sharp, and your doubts are ultimately in vain."

Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang were in no mood to pay attention to Meng Hongze's pride at the moment. Their thoughts were still immersed in the words of Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu. Although they felt unwilling, they could not find the right words to refute.

But if I let them leave quietly like this, I would still feel unwilling...

God knows how much effort they have put in and how long they have waited for this moment.

Countless days and nights of hard practice, countless challenges and breakthroughs to oneself, are all for the purpose of proving one's strength at this moment, so as to be hired, and to be able to follow Huang Jun in the future and learn more cooking skills.

But the reality dealt them a heavy blow, forcing them to face the cruel fact of losing the election.

This sense of loss and unwillingness surged into their hearts like a tide, making it difficult for them to let go, and their hearts were filled with endless regret and loss.

Yu Daqing's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance and desire. He looked at Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu, and his voice trembled a little: "Chef Huang, Director Liang, I really want to stay. The salary doesn't matter. I just hope to continue working here, learn from you, Chef Huang, and improve my cooking skills."

Zhao Weiguang also quickly echoed: "Yes, I am willing to do anything as long as I can stay here regardless of the reward."

Meng Hongze showed a hint of surprise when he heard this.

I'll go~
Are these two people so persistent?

If it were him, it would probably be difficult for him to be so persistent.

But when he recalled Huang Jun's sharp and accurate comments, he suddenly understood why Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang were so eager to stay.

Having the opportunity to learn from a culinary master like Huang Jun is undoubtedly a wise and rare choice!

But Zheng Yaohua was not surprised at all. He even thought it was a matter of course.

If it were him...

He would do so without hesitation!

Being able to learn from a culinary master like Huang Jun is an opportunity that many chefs dream of!

How can we easily miss such an opportunity?
Leaders such as Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu looked embarrassed.

They really didn't expect that Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang were so persistent and willing to stay regardless of the compensation.

This love and pursuit of cooking moved and embarrassed them...

Huang Jun pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "We understand how you feel, but the number of vacancies is limited, so we are sorry, let's work together again next time if there is a chance."

"No, Chef Huang, please don't refuse..."

Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang were anxious. They looked at Liang Yinqiu unwillingly, their eyes full of expectation: "Director Liang, we really want to stay. Please give us a chance. Don't worry, we will work hard and will never resign easily."

Liang Yinqiu looked at their sincere eyes and felt a little reluctant.

But the principles of recruitment cannot be broken just like that...

Just as she was about to say no, she hesitated. At the same time, a thought flashed through her mind...

Why not keep them here and let them learn further under Chef Huang?
With the careful training of Chef Huang, the master chef, their skills will surely be greatly enhanced and reach a higher level.

When the branch is established in the future, they will become the indispensable pillars of the branch. This will not only save the trouble of re-recruiting and training, but also ensure the quality of talents.

Thinking of this, Liang Yinqiu moved closer to Huang Jun and whispered his thoughts to him.

Huang Jun was a little surprised after hearing this, but after careful consideration, he felt that this was a great plan and nodded happily.

Liang Yinqiu was delighted when he saw this, and immediately announced to everyone: "Yu Daqing, Zhao Weiguang, you should also stay and help Chef Huang in the kitchen..."

Zhao Weiguang and Yu Daqing were stunned at first, but after they reacted, they smiled brightly and responded happily: "Director Liang, Chef Huang, thank you for giving me this opportunity. We will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."

Liang Yinqiu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "That's it, come to the park to report tomorrow morning, and then we will sign a formal contract with you..."

"No problem, we will be there on time!" (End of this chapter)
