Brush Up Your Proficiency

#110 - Getting on track

The crowd's admiration for Wang Hao grew, not expecting him to be an expert in kitchen layouts, and their eyes held a hint of worship.

Just as Wang Hao was about to reply, briefly explaining the specific benefits of the adjustments, Chang Lei suddenly walked in, exclaiming in surprise, "Huh? Why does the kitchen feel different?"

Although Chang Lei had worked in star-rated hotels for many years, he didn't know much about the kitchen and couldn't see the advantages of the changes.

Wang Hao smiled and replied, "I just made some minor adjustments with them, which will make work much easier in the future." He didn't explain the specific details of the changes.

However, Chang Lei curiously pressed, "Really? How exactly will it be easier?"

Seeing Chang Lei's question, Wang Hao didn't hold back and patiently explained to Chang Lei and the others, "First, we separated the stove and the sink to avoid water splashing onto the stove and causing safety hazards..."

Wang Hao explained each of their changes in detail, including the benefits and the overall effects. Those who had only a vague understanding before were enlightened after hearing his explanation.

After listening, Chang Lei couldn't help but exclaim, "So that's how it is! It seems that Boss Wang is not only good at cooking but also an expert in kitchen design!" He looked at Wang Hao with a strange expression.

Chang Lei was genuinely surprised that Wang Hao knew so much, considering his age. He was already so skilled in cooking, yet he also understood these things, which was truly remarkable.

"No, no, I just made some minor adjustments. Brother Chang, is there anything I can help you with?" Wang Hao replied humbly and inquired.

"These are some newly recruited vegetable cutters and general workers. They're officially reporting for duty today, and the boss asked me to bring them to you," Chang Lei said, then called out, and six people, three men and three women, entered the kitchen.

Then, Chang Lei introduced each person's name and detailed their roles.

The three men were assigned as vegetable cutters, responsible for preparing ingredients and other tasks, while the three women were assigned to general labor positions, assisting with various trivial tasks.

Wang Hao carefully looked at the six people in front of him. Their faces looked very young, and their ages seemed much younger than his, not much older than his sister, Wang Lan, full of youthful energy.

Wang Hao listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show his understanding. When Chang Lei finished his introduction, he replied with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Brother Chang."

Then, he turned to the six new employees and said friendly, "Welcome to the team. If you have any problems or need help with your work in the future, feel free to tell me."

Wang Hao didn't make any firm promises, as his personality didn't like committing to uncertain things.

Chang Lei continued, "Also, I wanted to ask, when will we eat?" As he spoke, he looked at Wang Hao with an expectant expression, even unconsciously swallowing.

Ever since he tasted Wang Hao's cooking last time, he had never forgotten it. Although he had eaten many delicacies, Wang Hao's dishes were the only ones that he couldn't forget.

Wang Hao glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing it was almost noon. He realized that he had spent a lot of time renovating the kitchen.

He immediately replied, "We'll start preparing the food right away, Brother Chang. Don't worry, we definitely won't delay everyone's meal."

He confidently assured them, after all, after the experience of the graduation banquet, he was already familiar with cooking large quantities of food and had full confidence.

Chang Lei left satisfied, thinking about lunch, and his enthusiasm for work increased a lot.

After Chang Lei left, Wang Hao had everyone introduce themselves to each other. After they all got to know each other, he stopped talking and began to instruct:

"Tomorrow is the grand opening, so today's lunch will be a practice run. Each of you will make two of your signature dishes, with each dish serving six people, but they should be dishes that can be prepared quickly. Don't make anything that takes too long. Let me see how good you are."

The others didn't ask any questions and confidently replied, "Yes," and began to work on their own.

The six vegetable cutters and general workers also began to assist the five chefs, each fulfilling their respective roles, and became busy.

The five chefs were all experienced, with their own unique skills. Hearing Wang Hao's request, each of them had their own ideas, thinking that they must perform well in front of Wang Hao for the first time and leave a good impression.

Wang Hao saw that everyone else was moving, but Li Qiang was still standing aside, as if he was going to be his assistant.

He walked up to Li Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, you should make two dishes too."

"Me? Do I need to make them too?" Li Qiang asked hesitantly, feeling a little uneasy.

After all, he still thought of himself as a novice in cooking. The only things worth mentioning about the kitchen were the two dishes he learned from Wang Hao last night. Now, he was asked to cook for several people, and he felt a little nervous.

"Of course, you're a trainee chef, so naturally you're also a chef. Go ahead and make the two dishes I taught you last night," Wang Hao said encouragingly. He wanted Li Qiang to start getting in touch with the chef's position in advance.

After all, based on his understanding of the cheat, he estimated that it wouldn't be long before Li Qiang could learn all the dishes on the restaurant's menu. With the help of the cheat, learning wouldn't be difficult, but being able to perform consistently would be.

And this aspect required experience to make up for it, and the restaurant was precisely the place where he could accumulate experience the fastest.

Wang Hao thought that after Li Qiang obtained his chef's license in a while and became a full-time chef in the restaurant, he would be able to take on the heavy responsibility of the restaurant, and he would be much more free to develop other skills.

Seeing Wang Hao's encouraging eyes, Li Qiang's uneasy heart slowly calmed down. He nodded heavily and began to act according to what Wang Hao had taught him last night.

Seeing Li Qiang start to move, Wang Hao didn't pay too much attention. The master led the way, but the cultivation was up to the individual. He had basically done what he could, and the rest was up to him.

Seeing everyone was busy, Wang Hao didn't stand idle either. He looked at the existing ingredients and, according to the two dishes that popped up in his mind, began to process the ingredients.

At this time, the kitchen was filled with the sound of chopping vegetables, creating a unique atmosphere of a kitchen.

And Wang Hao was also infected by this atmosphere, and the chef's temperament that had been suppressed slowly rose, and his aura began to slowly become stronger.

Wang Hao's change caused the people who were busy in the kitchen to shiver involuntarily, subconsciously looking towards Wang Hao, and a sense of awe rose in their hearts.
