Chapter 179 Come and work in the hotel! The salary is very high!
Chen Yaozu quickly brought back the restaurant’s own brewed wine.
Also returning were two chefs who refused to admit defeat.
Each of them held a plate in his hand.
"Come on, let's have a drink."
"There is another fun project. Let's try it together." Chen Yaozu took a glass and poured wine for everyone, then sat down with a smile on his face.
Several people looked up with interest.
Chef Li and Chef Xu put two plates of grilled fish on the table.
"Of these two fish, one was grilled by Chen Hui, and the other was grilled by our hotel's chef."
"Everyone, please try which fish is more delicious and we will announce the answer later." Chen Yaozu said with a smile.
Two grilled fish were placed on plates of different colors.
Aside from the plates, everything else is basically the same.
In order to confuse the audience, the fish being grilled later even had some fish meat taken away from the same position.
Chen Hui himself couldn't tell which one he grilled, so he could only smile and ask, "So do these two fish count as money?"
"These two fish are not worth any money, but if you win, uncle may have something to ask you." Chen Yaozu said with a smile.
"Let's get started, comrade. You go first!"
As a contestant, Chen Hui was directly deprived of the right to taste the food, Chef Li said to Wei Jianjun beside him.
"Hey, this is quite interesting."
Wei Jianjun said, trying a bite of the fish on the plate with red flowers, and praised loudly: "It's delicious! It's better than the one Chen Hui grilled on the island last time!"
Then he tried the plate with blue flowers printed on it and nodded repeatedly, "This one is delicious too, it's over! I can't tell which one is tastier."
Chen Hui looked back at the expressions of the two chefs, trying to find some clues from their faces but failed.
No matter which one Wei Jianjun praised, they looked very happy.
"Try it again. There must be some difference." said Chef Li.
Wei Jianjun tried them all again out of courtesy, and finally chose the one in the safflower plate with difficulty.
Wu Guang chose the blue flower plate, Wu Shuisheng chose the red flower, Wu Dahua chose the red flower, and An Wenjing chose the blue flower.
"Oh, I didn't expect that?"
As Chen Yaozu spoke, he stood up and tasted both, and found that he really couldn't tell which one was better.
Then he patted Chen Hui's shoulder meaningfully.
If an amateur can be on par with a professional chef, then in a sense he has already won.
At least he didn't lose on paper.
Chef Xu said, "Let me tell you, I can do it!"
The two chefs left with the plates in a good mood. Each of them got a bowl of rice and went to have lunch with the grilled fish.
"Chen Hui, just now in the kitchen, I was only halfway through saying that I owed you a favor. Tell me, is there anything I can do?"
Chen Yaozu sat back in his seat and raised his glass to Chen Hui.
Chen Hui originally planned to do this favor and let Chen Yaozu collect some of Wu Shuisheng and his friends' fish.
Now it was no longer necessary, so he picked up the cup and responded, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll ask for it when I think of it."
"Then you must remember that owing favors to others is the most uncomfortable thing."
"By the way, how do you make a living in the village? Farming? Or going out to sea?" Chen Yao asked after taking a sip.
"I'm not fit for farming, and I can't stand being out at sea all day."
"I just go fishing and catch some worthless small things to sell. Occasionally I go out to sea with these uncles to see if I can catch something valuable."
Chen Hui responded casually and scooped a spoonful of eight-treasure rice into the bowl to eat.
"That's it? How can this work?"
"If you don't farm, you'd better have a stable job." Chen Yaozu's eyes swept over several people and remembered that Chen Hui called Wu Shuisheng uncle last time.
He looked at Wu Shuisheng and said, "Uncle, tell me if what I said is right."
"Yes, yes, yes! My niece-in-law has a stable job and will be a teacher at the village primary school in early September."
Wu Shuisheng was drinking soup with his head down.
Suddenly his name was called, he hurriedly put down his spoon and looked up and said.
"."
Chen Yaozu felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have asked this question.
"Yes! My wife will make money to support me!" Chen Hui said with a smile.
"You can't think like that. It's too embarrassing to say that a grown man relies on his wife for support." Wu Guang said immediately.
"As a couple, there is no such thing as who supports whom."
"Whoever knows how to make money can make more." Wei Jianjun retorted.
"I also want to find a daughter-in-law as good as my sister-in-law."
An Wenjing is beautiful and virtuous, and Wu Dahua is a little envious.
"Then you should work harder and earn more money, so that your family can find you a good one." Wu Guang continued.
Seeing that the group of people were about to digress from the topic, Chen Yaozu cleared his throat and asked:
"Chen Hui, are you interested in working in the hotel? I can introduce you."
"A new chef gets 30 yuan a month, and a more experienced chef like Chef Li gets 50 yuan a month!"
"Fifty yuan!" An Wenjing looked up in surprise.
That was worth three months' salary for her.
"Yeah! Fifty bucks is really good, and it's a real job after all!"
Finally, someone got to the point and Chen Yaozu quickly took over the conversation to avoid being led astray by Wu Shuisheng and the others.
It is impossible to work part-time.
If you tell others that you are still working after being reborn, you will be laughed at for a whole year.
Chen Hui waved his hands and said, "Uncle Yaozu, my cooking skills are average. I can only grill a fish and cook fish soup."
"I don't know anything else, but I know more about cooking than you do."
"If you can cook fish well, you can cook other dishes well too. If you really don't know how, just learn."
"Didn't you say that you learned some basics from some great chef? With some basics, you can learn quickly." Chen Yaozu said.
Chen Hui wailed inwardly.
If I had known the boomerang would come so quickly, I wouldn’t have pretended!
He could only smile and evade the question, "I'm just a guy who can cook for myself at home. I'm not good enough to be a chef."
"Think about it carefully and don't rush to make a decision. If you are interested, just tell me." Chen Yaozu said with a smile.
It's summer now and swimming in the sea is a pleasure.
If you can also catch some fish, shrimps and crabs to sell, that would be a real pleasure.
But it’s different in winter. The sea breeze is biting and the water is so cold that it makes people shiver. Chen Hui will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Okay, if I want to work, I will definitely ask Uncle Yaozu to recommend me."
"Then let's all have a drink. We are so happy today!" Chen Yaozu said as he raised his glass.
After three rounds of drinks, Chen Hui helped Wu Shuisheng and the others to clarify the details of selling fish.
Chen Yaozu left them his phone number.
If the fish is particularly large, the price will be particularly high, so call ahead and ask.
If you have any high-priced sea fish of regular size, you can bring them directly to him. He is basically there 360 days a year.
