Brush Up Your Proficiency

Wang Hao's return was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves, plunging the entire "Food is Heaven" into a joyous uproar.

Of course, this joy and excitement also infected Cheng Yufei and Li Nan.

Originally buried in their busy work, they were startled when they heard the welcoming staff's surprised shout, their hands involuntarily stopping.

Their eyes widened, they exchanged glances, and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

You know, Wang Hao hadn't been gone long, and who would have thought he would return so quickly?

Filled with joy, the two hurriedly put down their work and rushed towards the entrance of the restaurant.

In these short two days, even without Wang Hao's personally cooked delicacies, their lives continued as usual.

But for some reason, every time they ate, they always felt that the food they tasted lacked a bit of flavor, and it was as if an important piece of the puzzle was missing from their hearts.

And at this moment, when they saw that familiar figure reappear, that empty feeling instantly vanished, replaced by a feeling of complete happiness.

"Oh my! Why did you come back so early? And you're carrying a suitcase, does that mean you didn't even go home and came straight here from the airport?"

Cheng Yufei looked at Wang Hao, who looked a little tired but still had a smile on his face, and couldn't help but joke.

Faced with Cheng Yufei's teasing, Wang Hao just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

However, such a simple and warm smile was worth more than a thousand words.

Because from the moment he stepped into the restaurant, he had deeply felt the sincere friendship and family-like warmth from everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards the familiar back kitchen area.

When the people in the back kitchen heard the news of Wang Hao's return, they stopped what they were doing.

The faces that were originally focused on work now showed expressions of excitement.

When Wang Hao was in the restaurant, although he occasionally didn't cook himself and others were responsible, everyone didn't notice anything special at that time.

However, once Wang Hao left, the contrast came like a tide.

They seemed to have suddenly lost their backbone. Although they could still keep the restaurant running normally with their years of experience and skilled techniques, they always felt that they lacked a vigorous and enterprising vitality.

And now, Wang Hao's return was like a timely rain after a long drought. That familiar atmosphere instantly spread, making people feel extremely at ease and excited.

Wang Hao greeted everyone enthusiastically while scanning the entire back kitchen with his master-level culinary vision.

His eyes were sharp, and any minor flaws or shortcomings could not escape his notice.

However, he chose to remain silent about the problems that arose because he had not paid attention to them before.

After all, his vision at that time couldn't compare with his current one. He would see how to improve and upgrade in the future.

From the overall situation, the staff in the back kitchen performed quite well after he left.

All the work was arranged in an orderly manner, and the processes such as ingredient processing and dish preparation were carried out very smoothly.

Wang Hao observed in the back kitchen for a while and nodded slightly in satisfaction, expressing his approval.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Hao didn't let himself be idle. He walked straight to the stove and prepared to cook the staff meal himself.

At this time, it was afternoon meal time, and there was a constant stream of customers coming to eat, and the back kitchen was busy, but the staff were still hungry.

So, Wang Hao, according to his previous habit, made a staff meal for everyone to reward them for their hard work during this period.

When the other staff in the back kitchen noticed that Wang Hao was going to cook the staff meal himself, their faces instantly showed excitement.

After all, they hadn't tasted Wang Hao's personally cooked food for just a few days, and their hearts were already full of longing and anticipation for that deliciousness.

However, this time when cooking the staff meal, Wang Hao did not use his master-level cooking skills.

Although he had master-level culinary skills, this heaven-defying skill was too eye-catching.

After careful consideration, Wang Hao believed that it was best to show off such superb cooking skills as little as possible unless it was necessary.

Therefore, he only used more advanced cooking techniques, but even so, it was still a rare enjoyment for others.

Wang Hao skillfully tied his apron, and then began to select ingredients, wash and prepare them in an orderly manner.

As the spatula in his hand flew up and down, various seasonings were added to the pot in turn, instantly emitting bursts of tempting aroma.

Soon, dishes with excellent color, aroma, and taste were successively out of the pot and plated.

Wang Hao's familiar cooking process seemed to have some kind of magic, driving the entire back kitchen.

The originally busy but slightly dull atmosphere suddenly became lively and cheerful, everyone was full of energy and cooperated tacitly, and the entire back kitchen was like an efficient machine, constantly producing delicious dishes.

Before long, in just over ten minutes, three large pots of fragrant and mouth-watering staff meals were all cooked!

You know, if other chefs were to make these staff meals, it would be impossible to get it done without an hour or so of busy work.

However, for Wang Hao, who was skilled in cooking, all of this was just a piece of cake.

As the tempting aroma of the food gradually spread, filling the entire kitchen, Wang Hao smiled and instructed the assistant next to him to quickly take the delicious food that had just been made to the restaurant.

After arranging this, he did not stop, but turned around and plunged into a new round of cooking.

Wang Hao skillfully picked up various ingredients and seasonings. This time, he decided to use his ultimate skill - master-level cooking, and prepared to carefully cook a few nutritious and health-preserving special dishes for Li Nan.

The reason why he was so painstaking was because he knew that Li Nan had been suffering from heart disease, and he hoped to help her get rid of the pain as soon as possible through these health-preserving dishes.

On the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to slightly repay the deep friendship of the Li family's previous generous gift of books.
