Chapter 21 Yuelaiju
In the early morning, Yan Nantian rushed to Yuelaiju very early. Yan Yunhua and Zhou Dacheng wanted to send him off, but Yan Nantian refused. Although it was good to have family accompany him, they would inevitably be distracted at that time.
Yan Nantian was already familiar with it when he arrived at Yuelaiju again, but the purpose of this time was different. When he saw Yuelaiju Restaurant, he felt a little more intimate.
Yuelaiju opened the door very early. When Yan Nantian arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, two servants were already cleaning outside. Yan Nantian was not in a hurry to enter and just waited beside the restaurant.
After a while, a bald man walked out of Yuelaiju, stood in front of the door and stretched. It was Liu Qiang, a bald man who had made an appointment with Yan Nantian, who strode down the steps of Yuelaiju.
"Master Liu, you are quite on time." Yan Nantian went forward and asked with a smile.
"Boy, you are dressed up quite energetic. If you didn't know you were here for an interview, you would probably treat you as a blind date." Liu Qiang laughed and said.
"Mr. Liu, thanks to your recommendation, I have this opportunity. Naturally, I have to clean up to avoid embarrassing you." Yan Nantian said with a smile.
"This sentence has reached my heart. You guy has a conscience." Liu Qiang walked forward, patted Yan Nantian on the shoulder, and said.
"Master Liu, what is the application content later? Should I prepare in advance?" Yan Nantian said.
"There are two rounds of procedures for recruiting chefs this time. You must first pass the interview with the restaurant shopkeeper, and then pass the Lingchu to test your cooking skills." Liu Qiang said.
After hearing Liu Qiang's words, Yan Nantian couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "This is no different from the earth, one is a theory and one is a practice."
"Boy, I'll take you to see the shopkeeper first and introduce you to the environment of the restaurant." Liu Qiang said, leading Yan Nantian into it.
After walking up the steps, there is the lobby of the Yuelaiju Restaurant. On the right side of the lobby is a counter, on the left side are four tables, and in front is a portrait of the chef god.
The restaurant lobby is very large, more than three times the size of the first-class restaurant. It is more than enough to put four tables on it. Liu Qiang casually introduced: "The lobby on this floor is for ordinary guests. The second, third and fourth floors are all private rooms, which are for guests with higher status."
"Mr. Liu, where is the kitchen in that restaurant?" As a chef, Yan Nantian is more concerned with the kitchen environment.
"The kitchen is not in the restaurant, but in the courtyard behind the restaurant. You will be able to see it when you test your cooking skills later." Liu Qiang went forward to lead the way and led Yan Nantian to the backyard.
Walking from the restaurant's lobby to the backyard, there were more and more waiters around him. Everyone looked at Yan Nantian curiously. If it weren't for Liu Qiang's leadership, Yan Nantian would have been difficult to enter the backyard.
"Mr. Liu, the security of Yuelaiju Restaurant looks quite tight."
"Of course. If I hadn't led you, you would have been arrested if you didn't go into the backyard." Liu Qiang said, pointing to the surroundings and said:
"This restaurant not only has waiters, but also has many important places, but also has defensive formations. Even if you join Yuelaiju in an interview, don't run around."
"I've been taught." Yan Nantian bowed and said sincerely.
While speaking, the two walked out of the restaurant lobby, and came to us with a touch of green color, with a scent of fragrance, birds singing and flowers singing, which was very pleasant, and they came to an exquisite garden.
"This garden is also a restaurant. Occasionally, there will be distinguished guests here to dine here, so don't rush around." Liu Qiang introduced casually, and did not take Yan Nantian into the garden, and then walked along an alley next to it towards the east.
"Yeah." Yan Nantian responded, and humbly asked, "Master Liu, is there anything I need to pay attention to when I met the shopkeeper?"
"This is really the case. The shopkeeper is a young woman, but you must not underestimate her." Liu Qiang said solemnly: "If you want to offend him and she won't let you pass the restaurant interview, you won't even have the chance to test your cooking skills."
"Don't worry, I remember." Yan Nantian responded and said.
While talking, the two walked along the alley and walked outside the other courtyard. The three big words "Songyue Pavilion" were written in front of the courtyard. The courtyard was very lively, and there were waiters and managers coming in and out from time to time.
"Liu Bangchu, why are you here? Could it be that Lord Zhou has what instructions?" A green-clothed maid saw Liu Qiang and asked quickly.
"It's not our master's business. I just heard that the restaurant recruits chefs, so I introduced the person to apply for the job. You go and report to the shopkeeper." Liu Qiang waved his hand and said.
"Okay, then you go to the side hall first, I'll go in and invite the shopkeeper." The green-coated maid responded, looked at Yan Nantian beside him, and then turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the side hall first." Liu Qiang said.
"Master Liu, the green-clothed maid just now, why did you call you Liu Bushu?" Yan Nantian said in confusion.
"I serve in front of the master, and go in and out of Yuelaiju all day long. I have to have an identity. Besides, I have to talk about the identities of multiple chefs, and I can still have an extra portion of money. Why don't I want it?" Liu Qiang squeezed his eyes and asked back.
"That's true." While the two of them were talking, they came to the side hall of Songyueju. A servant immediately gave them tea and then bowed and left.
But for a moment, footsteps came from outside the side hall. Yan Nantian looked out the door and saw that the door of the side hall was pushed open and a beautiful young woman walked in.
The young woman was wearing a red brocade robe, with a charming appearance, a charming figure, a light step, a graceful figure, and every frown and smile was filled with indescribable temptation.
After seeing the young woman's beauty for the first time, Yan Nantian was also a little surprised. However, he was a human being in two lives and had seen many big scenes, but nothing was revealed.
"Shopkeeper, you are here." Liu Qiang stood up, bowed his hand, and said.
"Liu Bangchu, you need not be polite." The young woman smiled slightly, glanced at the two of them with beautiful eyes, and asked, "I heard from Cui'er that Liu Bangchu wants to introduce a friend to come to our restaurant to apply for a chef?"
"That's right." Liu Qiang flashed, pointed at Yan Nantian behind him, and said, "Shopkeeper, this kid's name is Yan Nantian, I introduced him to apply for the job."
"Is this young man applying for a chef?" The young woman showed a little doubt and looked at Yan Nantian carefully. Although she thought Yan Nantian was too young, fortunately, she was well-educated and did not show her appearance of looking down on Yan Nantian.
"I've seen the shopkeeper." Yan Nantian stood up, bowed his hand, and said.
"Yes." The young woman nodded slightly and asked: "How old are you this year? Are you a native of Wujiang Town?"
"I am sixteen years old this year and I am a native of Wujiang Town." Yan Nantian replied in a normal manner.
When Yan Nantian was replying, the young woman was secretly observing Yan Nantian, wanting to see what was strange about him so that she could introduce Liu Qiang to Yuelaiju.
Generally speaking, there are two situations where people who can enter Yuelaiju to be a chef. The first is people who have excellent cooking skills and have many years of experience in chefs; the second is people who have practiced spiritual power and have the potential to become spiritual chefs.
However, after the young woman's observation, Yan Nantian had never practiced spiritual power, and was only sixteen years old this year, so he could not say that he had rich experience in a chef. No matter from any point of view, he did not meet the requirements of applying for a chef.
"Liu Qiang, is it your intention to introduce the chef? Or Brother Zhou?" The young woman blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at Liu Qiang beside her and asked.
After hearing the young woman's question, Liu Qiang also vaguely guessed that the other party might not be optimistic about Yan Nantian, and smiled embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper, it has nothing to do with our master. This kid is my friend. I think he has a good cooking skills, so I recommend him to apply for a chef.
