Roaming in the world of film and television

This part of the TV series is very good. In order to make the audience enjoy watching, Lu Yuan has arranged a very compelling plot. However, if you jump out of the protagonist’s field of vision, you will find that Chef Lu’s actions are similar to those of Hong Kong movies. The plot of going to the martial arts hall and kicking the gymnasium is no different in martial arts dramas. The key is that others can at least act recklessly, how about him? It's completely a villain image.

There are so many people eating in the restaurant, the head chef here is like a dog, and then they say that I am here to apply for the job.

EXCUSE ME?

Lin Yue originally thought that this kind of plot could only be seen in Shuangwen.

Will the manager of a restaurant accept the chef from the restaurant as head chef? Doesn't that mean telling everyone, just come to my restaurant to kick off, and if you win, you will be the chef. Is this a business? What about the arena?

Some people might say that it was Jiang Haokun who told the manager to keep Lu Yuan no matter what, and the manager had to do this.

But looking at the problem from another angle, he can be a chef without kicking the restaurant, why must he do this?

It can only be said that if you want to watch a drama, put your mind aside first, and the fun will be over.

Lu Yuan didn't know what Lin Yue wanted to do, but no matter what he wanted to do, it was impossible to make a fuss about the origin of Wellington steak.

"Wellington steak came from England in the 18th century. The prime minister at the time, the Duke of Wellington, was the Wellington who defeated Napoleon. He liked to eat baked dishes that mixed beef, mushrooms, wine, and truffles in pie crust, so this dish The dish was named Steak Wellington."

"Historical allusion, celebrity blessing, well, a good marketing strategy." Lin Yue said seriously: "But you are mistaken, Steak Wellington is not strictly a British dish, it should be regarded as an American dish, because until 1939 Well, the name of Steak Wellington only appeared in the food culture of the United States. It did not come from the Duke of Wellington, but the immigrants from the Stig Wellington area of ​​Ireland baked the local pie wrapped with meat that had been popular since the 19th century. The method was brought to the United States, and the meat pie can be traced back to France in the 14th century, so Western food not only includes Wellington steak, but also Wellington pork chops, Wellington mushrooms and a series of foods."

Lu Yuan blinked his little eyes with surprise.

If you want to say that Jiang Haokun is lying, but looking at the quotations, it is hard not to be convinced.

At this time, Lin Yue changed his serious expression, and laughed: "It's okay, I just want to help you popularize the origin of Steak Wellington, everyone should eat and drink, don't worry about it."

The diners sitting at the tables around them didn't think much, and turned back to continue eating. One of the blond-haired, high-nosed, straight-lined foreign girls toasted him from a distance, and seemed to be very interested in him.

Lin Yue raised his glass politely, looked at each other and drank.

As for Lu Yuan, he had already stood up under Steven's leadership, and while walking towards the kitchen, he looked suspiciously at that annoying guy in the corner.

Other guests don't need to think too much, can he?

The answer is no, Jiang Haokun appeared here by accident, and even made a fuss about Wellington steak, which gave him a big blow.

He is very confident in cooking. It is not difficult to compare with Steven, but Jiang Haokun knows that he has no sense of taste. If he tells the restaurant manager, his plan to become the back chef of Gray Whale Restaurant will come to naught ?

Of course, worry is nothing but worry, and anxiety is nothing but anxiety. For him, the matter has developed to this point, and there is no turning back.

When he came to the back kitchen, he forced himself to forget about Jiang Haokun's existence, holding the frying pan with his left hand and his right hand, and began to skillfully cook his best steak Wellington.

Roasted filet, wrapped in puff pastry and sauce, in the oven...

His movements are very skillful, and his fire control is also very good. It can be seen that he is an experienced cook. The second chef and the head chef behind him, including Xiao Cai who does odd jobs, all look at him eagerly, thinking that this person has real skills. At least in terms of Wellington steak, it is a little bit higher than Chef Steven.

More than half an hour later, the oven finished working. Lu Yuan took out the cooked Wellington steak and cut it into several small pieces with a knife. He added some sauce and made a small shape with chili peppers. Everything was OK.

After taking a look and feeling satisfied, he pushed the plate in front of Steven very chicly.

"Try it."

Steven took the knife and fork with a bit of hesitation, cut a piece and put it in his mouth. After chewing twice, his face changed slightly. Indeed, this guy was better than the Wellington steak he made, and at the same time he was also stockpiling a lot of meat. I found an adjective in many Chinese thesauruses to describe the scene in front of me - hit the scene.

"Smash the field! You are smashing the field!"

Just when he was about to lose his temper, a person patted him on the shoulder from behind: "It's okay to be inferior to others in skills. The most important thing in speaking and doing things is to have self-knowledge."

Steven turned his head and found that it was the man who taught the origin of Wellington steak. He didn't know when he walked into the back kitchen, but everyone didn't pay attention.

snort!

The French chef left angrily.

"How about I have a taste?"

Lin Yue said politely.

The handsome second chef next to him looked at the contents of the plate, then at him, and handed over the knife and fork.

Lin Yue took it and cut a small piece into his mouth, chewing slowly.

Standing opposite, Lu Yuan perfectly interpreted the adjective "nervous" from his expressions to movements.

"Come on."

Lin Yue put down the knife and fork, waved to Lu Yuan, and the two walked to the cold storage.

"If you dare to dismantle me, believe it or not, I don't care about the old lady."

Now Lu Yuan can also see that Jiang Haokun's behavior of pretending to be Grandpa Peng Jiahe is disgusting, but it cannot be denied that he is still very good to the old lady. Now that the old lady has saved all her money, the responsibility of supporting the family falls on him On his shoulders, if he can't get the job, then he'll just lie flat and die regardless of the Peng family.

"Don't get excited." Lin Yue patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said in a low voice, "I want to tell you that the sauce in this restaurant is wrong, they use big brown mushroom sauce, the most authentic Wellington steak It's a small brown mushroom sauce, you should be thankful that this French chef Steven's specialty is not this."

Is Jiang Haokun kind?

From the results point of view is good.

But Lu Yuan's expression is ugly, because people who have no sense of taste can't tell the difference between the small brown mushroom sauce and the big brown mushroom sauce. Only top food critics can taste the nuances in one bite.

Jiang Haokun is a rich second generation, but I have never heard that he is so picky about food. You must know that he and Gan Jing often go to eat Malatang. No food critic will abuse his tongue and ruin his job. .

Lin Yue patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder again, said to Feng Yufang, "Not bad, the taste is very good", and turned to leave the back kitchen.

"Mr. Lu, right? I think we should have a good talk, this way please."

Manager Feng took Lu Yuan to negotiate terms.

The second cook, head anvil, and head face of the back kitchen swarmed up to clean up the Wellington steak on the plate. When it was the turn of Xiao Cai, the handyman, he was frustrated to find that all the dishes had been divided.

...

Lu Yuan was very happy, wishing he could hug the big tree by the roadside and kiss him.

Because he successfully joined the Gray Whale restaurant and got the position of head chef. The monthly salary is 65,000 RMB. Although it is not comparable to when he was in the United States, it is definitely a high salary in China.

He's stiff again, he's puffed up again, and his little heart is ready to move again.

In the evening, I went to the studio to interview Gan Jing and told her the good news.

Because of the matter of looking for the old lady together last time, the relationship between the two of them has eased, and they talked again. Gan Jing was very happy, but Lu Yuan could also see that her smile was a little insincere, so he asked her if there was something on her mind Gan Jing didn't say anything, but just gave him the previous recipe.

In the evening, he invited Peng Jiahe and the old lady to have a good meal. Of course, Jiang Haokun's name was not mentioned from the beginning to the end.

On the other side, Feng Yufang, the manager of Gray Whale Restaurant, signed his name on the purchase slip, looked up at the retro desk clock on the table, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Miss Jiang's number.

At this moment, Jiang Lai was on his way to the Bund Bar. When he heard the phone ringing, he looked at the center console and was taken aback. The name Feng Yufang... She thought for a long time before she remembered who this person was.

There is a Gray Whale restaurant under the Jiang Group, and Feng Yufang is the manager of the restaurant, and he has worked there for several years.

She pressed the on key of the multi-function keyboard: "Hello, who is it?"

"Miss, it's me, Feng Yufang, the manager of Gray Whale Restaurant."

Jiang Lai said indifferently: "What do you want from me?"
