Li Aimin and his wife led Chen Xuan around the restaurant.
The restaurant was not big. There were three halls outside, and there were only ten tables in total. The largest table could seat ten people.
In addition, there were three private rooms that could accommodate 12 to 14 people.
The restaurant wasn't decorated much. The tables and chairs were very ordinary, and the cutlery was disposable.
Such restaurants could be seen everywhere on the streets.
Just as Chen Xuan had guessed, there was only one chef in the restaurant, and that was Li Aimin.
He didn't see any acolytes, so he didn't know if they were invited or not.
There were also two waiters, both of whom were aunties in their forties.
"This restaurant is really small.”
"I think this kind of hotel looks friendly.”
"There are a total of 20 people choosing chefs. Other than this little brother, the other 19 people all chose Michelin restaurants.”
"I'm starting to admire this little brother.”
After understanding the situation, Li Aimin said,""Xiao Chen, you actually don't have to do much. There are customers ordering. You just have to help me wash and cut the vegetables. "If you want to learn how to cook, just watch from the side. Actually, cooking is not difficult. The main thing is to control the heat and taste.”
"Yes." Chen Xuan nodded to show that he understood.
Zhang Cuilan walked over with a brand new contract.""Xiao Chen, this is a contract. It's 2500 yuan a month. Food is included. Take a look."”
In the past, when they recruited apprentices, they did not sign a contract. They set a salary and paid them directly in cash when the month came.
But now was not the time. After all, there were so many netizens watching. They had to make it more formal.
Chen Xuan quickly glanced at it and signed his name.
"2500 is so little?”
"Now, the waiters are already paying four to five thousand yuan. This is indeed not high.”
"That's not enough? Apprentice brother!"
"That's the price for apprentices, and most apprentices go back to open their own restaurants after learning how to do it.”
"Food and accommodation? Where does little brother live?"
"You guys are really worried. You're already so old, how can you not have a place to stay?”
After signing the contract, Li Aimin said,""Come, let's go to the kitchen. I'll teach you how to cut vegetables first.”
"Alright, sorry to trouble you, Uncle Li."
"What's the trouble? Since you're my apprentice, I'll definitely teach you what I need to teach.”
Li Aimin was very talkative."As a chef, we must have a solid foundation. Before we cook, we have to practice the knife and spoon skills well. Only after these two skills are practiced can we continue to practice the fire skills.”
"Do you know what the fire technique is?”
"I know."
"You know?" Li Aimin was stunned.”
"It's the control of the fire and the general term for cooking techniques.”
"Ah…you really know?"
"It seems like you've done a lot of homework."”
He did not care, thinking that Chen Xuan had searched online.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Chen Xuan took a round and understood what was in each place.
The kitchen was very clean, and the meat in the freezer was very rich.
There was also a large glass tank with a few fish in it.
The ingredients were fresh and plentiful, and they were all bought on the same day.
Li Aimin took a washed potato and threw it on the chopping board.""I'll show you how to cut vegetables.”
He first cut the potato into two, then sliced it into pieces. Then, he stacked the pieces together and began to shred them.
As he cut, he said,"The knife has to cut straight down. Don't be fast or slow. You have to cut in rhythmically." "For example, you just learned how to cut vegetables. It's easy to cut your hands. I'll teach you a method. You press your left hand on the vegetables, retract your fingers, and use your finger bones to press against the knife. This way, you won't cut your hands.”
Li Aimin cut for a while and put down the knife.""I'm going out for a while.”
After Li Aimin left, Chen Xuan grabbed the kitchen knife and stared at the half-cut potato on the chopping board. He did not say anything and began to cut it.
Although his culinary skills were only at the beginner level, this was the standard of the system. For ordinary people, his beginner level was enough to be the head chef of a restaurant!
Saber skills, spoon skills, fire skills, and so on. He might not be very powerful, but his foundation was definitely very solid.
Therefore, the moment he grabbed the kitchen knife, he had a feeling that it was very easy to shred the potato in front of him.
"Da da da ~"
The sound of the kitchen knife and the chopping board coming into contact rang out in the kitchen. The shredded potatoes were cut out one after another.
The cutting speed was not very fast, but it was very rhythmic. Moreover, the thickness of each potato was the same, so there would not be a situation where one was thick and one was thin.
At first, no one paid attention to him. They only thought that Chen Xuan was putting on an act.
After all, it would be good enough if a person who had never cooked before did not cut his hands. It was unrealistic to say that he could cut the vegetables well.
However, slowly, people realized that Chen Xuan did not seem to be pretending.
"I'm throwing. This little brother is good at cutting!”
"It's really possible. This fellow has definitely practiced it before!”
"Are you pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?”
"What's this little brother's name again?”
"Chen Xuan!"
"In terms of acting tough, I'm not as good as you! From today onwards, you are my Brother Chen!"
"As a graduate of New Oriental, I say that Brother Chen's knife skills definitely can't be mastered without two or three years of practice.”
