Brush Up Your Proficiency

"How amazing!"

"How did he do that?"

"Is this some kind of magic?"

Everyone marveled at Wang Hao's transformation, their faces displaying disbelief. But they didn't remain stunned for too long, quickly returning to their work.

However, Wang Hao's mystique deepened in their hearts.

As time passed, the aroma of various dishes permeated the entire back kitchen.

Although the kitchen's ventilation system was running at maximum, it still couldn't completely prevent the spread of the delicious smells, which energized everyone's work even more.

Wang Hao observed the progress of everyone's cooking while skillfully handling the ingredients.

After the ingredients were placed in the pot, flames rose from the stove, burning fiercely and emitting a scorching heat.

Wang Hao himself maintained a calm and composed expression, as if everything was under control. This confidence and poise were striking.

The six kitchen assistants watched Wang Hao's performance, their eyes gleaming with a strange light.

This display gave them a more direct understanding of their head chef.

It turned out that the reason he was able to become the head chef was not because of connections or luck, but because he truly possessed outstanding culinary skills.

The others couldn't help but sigh, their hands pausing involuntarily, their eyes fixed on Wang Hao, unwilling to look away.

The six thought to themselves: Watching the head chef cook is simply a pleasure. Not only can we admire his artistic skills, but we also get paid. Such benefits were something they had never imagined before coming here.

The six were all recruited by Chang Lei from culinary schools and were originally full of interest in cooking.

Now, witnessing Wang Hao's miraculous operation, their eyes sparkled with excitement, as if they saw hope for the future, and a kind of yearning arose in their hearts. How cool would it be if they could be like Wang Hao in the future!

Time slowly came to midday, the sunlight was just right, shining through the windows onto the kitchen floor, forming bright patches of light.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of various foods, making people salivate.

"Congratulations, Advanced Cooking Proficiency +3, Current Proficiency: Advanced Cooking 946/10000"

The cheat's notification appeared before Wang Hao's eyes, indicating the end of this cooking session.

Although he started later than the others, with the blessing of his advanced cooking skills, his efficiency was very high.

These two dishes were somewhat difficult because they needed to be made in portions for six or seven people.

Based on this, the cheat gave each dish an extra proficiency bonus, allowing Wang Hao to gain a total of six proficiency points in this cooking session.

When Wang Hao placed the two carefully prepared dishes on the table, Li Qiang and the others had also completed their dishes one after another, placing them on the table.

Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Wang Hao looked at everyone and asked them to divide a portion of all fourteen dishes for tasting.

After dividing, Wang Hao didn't make any extra moves, directly starting to taste everyone's work and giving evaluations.

In this process, he discovered that everyone's cooking skills had their merits. As expected of the people who were carefully selected and left behind, they had some skills. But overall, it was still too ordinary.

After hearing this, everyone picked up their chopsticks and happily began to taste.

Among the dozen or so dishes, Wang Hao's two dishes were particularly dazzling, making it difficult for them not to pay attention.

Needless to say, Wang Hao's dishes were naturally the first to be tasted. Everyone had seen Wang Hao's performance just now, and the result was not unexpected.

After tasting them, before they could say anything, their expressions had already expressed their meaning.

Li Qiang and several other chefs had tasted Wang Hao's dishes before, so they could still remain calm after this tasting, after all, they already had an expectation in their hearts.

But the six kitchen assistants widened their eyes, exclaiming incredulously as they ate, looking at Wang Hao with shock, and thinking: "How can this dish taste even better than I imagined? Working here is too happy!"

Li Qiang and the others, seeing the performance of the six kitchen assistants, seemed to see their appearance when they first tasted it, and couldn't help but cover their faces.

After Wang Hao's dishes were snatched away, everyone reluctantly began to taste the dishes of the other chefs.

If the dishes of the other chefs were placed in normal times, they would be quite delicious, and in a general restaurant, they would cost a lot.

However, after tasting Wang Hao's dishes, everyone felt a little tasteless, even the chefs themselves felt this way, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this is the gap!

It wasn't until everyone tasted Li Qiang's two dishes that the surprising sounds that had disappeared reappeared.

Especially the five chefs, the way they looked at Li Qiang suddenly changed, and words of praise, as if they didn't cost money, were frantically directed towards Li Qiang.

Before, they thought that Li Qiang was just a connected person, so although they were close on the surface, they had somewhat looked down on him in their hearts. After all, the kitchen is a place that values skills, and people without skills will naturally be inferior.

However, Li Qiang's demonstrated strength, in terms of sensory experience, was only slightly worse than Wang Hao, but his strength had already far surpassed them, reaching a realm where they needed to look up to him.

The five chefs looked at Wang Hao and Li Qiang, these two young people, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, are young people so powerful now?

In everyone's mind, Li Qiang's position had a clear rise, already reaching the position of the second-in-command in the back kitchen.

Li Qiang also felt the strangeness in everyone's eyes, and he was already overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked calm.

As a kitchen newbie, being pushed out by Wang Hao like a duck to water, he himself didn't have much confidence, let alone comparing himself with five seniors who obviously had no low cooking skills, he felt even more unsure.

However, after tasting the dishes of the five people, Li Qiang's feeling of insecurity slowly disappeared, and a sense of confidence began to slowly rise in his heart.

The two dishes he learned from Wang Hao could actually crush these seniors, so what about in the future? As he learns more and more, and knows more and more dishes, wouldn't he be a veritable chef?

Originally, Li Qiang had a certain psychological expectation for being able to become a formal chef, thinking that it would take at least a year or two, but after this comparison, he felt that his expectation would definitely be shortened to a degree that would surprise him!
