Chapter 1161 Requirements
The old Dong mentioned by this enchanting beauty should be the owner of this ship.
Behind the enchanting beauty, there is a gorgeous door.
The charming beauty moved two steps to the left and gave up the door, with a little unhappy on her face.
Zhang Xuan glanced at the chef, who stood aside, and had no intention of walking in.
It doesn’t matter to Zhang Xuan. This is a matter of nervousness for others, and even to the chef who is standing at the door now.
But for Zhang Xuan, he had no reason to be nervous.
When I opened the door in front of me, I saw a luxurious hall. Looking straight at it, there was an observation deck where I could sit at the top of the cruise ship and look at the entire sea from the best angle. This is an absolute enjoyment.
As soon as he entered the room, there was a whole layer of cashmere carpet under his feet, which was very comfortable to step on. Zhang Xuan did not see the slippers prepared by the owner for the guests. In other words, the owner didn't care that someone was wearing shoes and stepped on the expensive cashmere carpet.
The room is decorated in a European style. It can be seen that the owner likes this style very much, and even imitates a fireplace in the room, which is just for the sake of beauty.
There were also a lot of European-style furniture in the room. Zhang Xuan glanced at him and there was no bargain.
"Young man, here!"
A sound came from the depths of the room.
Zhang Xuan walked along the sound. The room was very big. After several entrances, Zhang Xuan turned several times before he saw a figure. At the first glance, Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment.
This is a man with a height of 1.6 meters, bald head, about fifty years old. At this time, he was standing next to a stove. At a glance, he knew that the stove was specially customized for him, which just fits his height.
"Come on, come on."
The middle-aged man waved to Zhang Xuan, then turned around, faced a chopping board, picked up a kitchen knife, and there were a lot of fresh ingredients on the chopping board.
"I will introduce myself first. My surname is Dong. I am a chef. I am a rough man. I don't like others calling me boss or generals. Just call me Lao Dong. In the past, others called me that's what I called me in the kitchen."
As Lao Dong said, he moved the kitchen knife to start cutting vegetables. His speed of cutting vegetables was not fast or even slow, but it can be seen that his knife skills were very experienced.
Zhang Xuan noticed that Lao Dong had a thick layer of calluses at the tiger's mouth. Obviously, even if he became rich, he would cook often.
Old Dong seemed to recall the past with Zhang Xuan, "I was lucky and made some money, but people like us are born to be cheap and can't be idle. They like to cook and cook every day. They don't enjoy life. You see, this room is decorated like this because they are poor. They don't have anything before. Now they want it, cruise ships, beauties, but in the end they find that it's still meaningless. I like cooking. It's a pity that I'm old. No matter in my thoughts or techniques, they are not as good as you young people."
Zhang Xuan smiled, not having too much politeness with Old Dong, and said, "Old Dong, just say something."
"Ha ha."
Old Dong laughed loudly and did not stop cutting vegetables in his hand. "I just like chatting with people like you. It's direct and easy. We don't have so many tricks. Just say anything directly. What should I call you?"
"Just call me Zhang Yiqing."
Zhang Xuan spoke, and this name has completely become his pseudonym outside.
"I'm older than you, so it's not too much to call you Xiao Zhang."
Old Dong put down the kitchen knife in his hand, put the ingredients he had just cut aside, and then washed his hands with a very ritual sense, "Let's go, let's sit there and talk."
Old Dong took Zhang Xuan to the leather sofa in the hall, spoke to Zhang Xuan, "Sit."
Zhang Xuan was not polite and sat down directly.
"Xiao Zhang, I don't know where your cooking skills are taught?"
Old Dong smiled, "I tasted the dish you just made, and Lao Sun also told me about your cooking process. Although the principle is simple, it is too difficult to grasp the degree of spices in the soup and the temperature when waking up the meat. Without a certain level of skills, you will definitely not be able to do it. I am not afraid of you making it. Although I can make this dish through your method, I will never make the taste so perfect."
Zhang Xuan shook his head and said nothing.
Old Dong sighed, with a look on his face that I understand, "Some old seniors don't like to disclose their names. I'm talking to you this time. I want you to do me a favor and help me participate in a competition."
"Contest?"
Zhang Xuan was suspicious.
"right."
Old Dong nodded and looked at the sea outside the floor-to-ceiling glass in the distance, "I have been cooking all my life. From a chef to now, I have won all kinds of awards and earned money, but there is only one thing that has always been in my heart. I know you are definitely not as simple as a temporary worker, and I don't want to know why you got on the boat. With your cooking skills, you should know the Mountbatten Award, right?"
Zhang Xuan nodded, he did know.
Old Dong sighed, "The Mountbatten Award is known as the highest award in the world's chef industry. Look at all of my trophys, but there are no Mountbatten. I want you to participate in this Mountbatten Competition and be my representative team."
Zhang Xuan shook his head, "Sorry, I still have some private matters on me, I'm afraid I can't agree to you."
"You don't have to refuse me in such a hurry. Today you are tired and should have a good rest. You should think about it for one night first. This award is an obsession for me. You can make the conditions, so don't live in the staff dormitory. I'll ask someone to arrange a place for you."
"Well."
Zhang Xuan pondered, "That old man, can I choose a room in the VIP room above you?"
"OK."
Old Dong nodded, "You go outside and tell your sister Hui and ask her to arrange it for you. Remember to think carefully. With my experience as a chef in my life, I can see that you are a capable person."
"OK."
Zhang Xuan responded, then stood up, "Then I'll leave first."
Zhang Xuan’s most important thing now is to find a place and make some adjustments. He doesn’t know when the chameleon will come tonight. If the other party ignores anything, then the fierce battle will still be impossible to avoid.
Zhang Xuan walked out of the hall. Sister Hui was the charming beauty, about thirty years old, standing at the door and chatting with the chef. When they saw Zhang Xuan coming out, the two immediately ended the chat.
"Why did it come out so soon?"
The chef was nervous. If he recommended a talent to the boss, it would be beneficial.
Zhang Xuan told Sister Hui about his request.
Sister Hui snorted coldly, "I still have to live in the VIP room. Is there really you, and I can't tell the main and the secondary?"
Zhang Xuan's expression was unrestrained, "This is what Lao Dong promised me."
Sister Hui looked dissatisfied, but Old Dong had spoken, and she couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Xuan, "Come with me."
