“ After a while, the food seemed to be gradually on track, but in fact it was not. 

Just recently, another incident happened and an acquaintance came to the store that day.

It happened to be someone Alex knew. 

Although he didn't necessarily want to meet this person, it was a good thing as long as there were customers in the store.”

「Sir, we really haven't seen each other for a long time. 

The restaurant just didn't open when we wanted to come last time.」

“Xiao Chen still used a more polite address, because he was also used to calling it, and he couldn't change it for a while, so he just used the original address. ”

    

「Why are you free to come here?

 You are not busy making money.」

“Alex's first sentence was not welcome, nor was it the feeling of not seeing an old friend for a long time, it would make people feel uncomfortable anyway.”

“But Xiao Chen didn't care very much. 

After all, they had been together for several weeks and had become accustomed to this gentleman's way of speaking.

 Although this man was a bit indifferent and there was nothing wrong with it, Alex did not speak maliciously.

Therefore, Xiao Chen would choose to forgive, as another way to say hello, anyway, Mr. does not seem to be malicious, if it is not for someone he knows, it may not necessarily be misunderstood.”

    

「I am taking a break today, especially coming to the restaurant for dinner.」

“Xiao Chen is very sincere. 

The average person may have forgotten what the last guest did, maybe even the commander has forgotten what he looked like, but Alex is different. 

Although his speech is not very good, at least he is not. Will lie.”

「Then you find a seat first, and the waiter will take the seat.

Lucy, you take this guest to the seat and take the order by the way.」

“Alex doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, but the guests still have to serve, so at least he can't show it. ”

「Do you have any signature dishes, or what dishes does the chef recommend?」

“As soon as Xiao Chen sat down, he didn't turn over the menu immediately.

 He didn't know how to taste the dishes on the menu anyway. 

He just came to cheer for his husband.”    

「There are no signature dishes, but I can recommend a set menu, from appetizers to desserts.」

“Lucy reacted quickly and immediately said no, but she still decided to promote the restaurant's products. ”    

  

「Okay, that's it, you decide.」

“Xiao Chen didn't object, he thought that he was here to cheer anyway, and everything seemed to be good.

 The point was that the food should be delicious.”

「Okay, guest.

Chef, this is the menu.」

“The appetizer at table 5 is a shrimp and potato salad, the main course is a filet with red wine sauce, the side dish is a bowl of bean paste, and the dessert is lemon souffle.

 This is Lucy's memory of previous guests. 

It was decided because she thought the customer just now would like it. "

    

「Where are you going, how can it take so long.

Don’t you know that it’s working time and you are staying outside.

Find out who you are and don't forget who asked you to come to work.」

“Alex's rare anger was the first time he was angry at the employees in front of him, and it was probably related to his mood today.”

  

「Sorry, boss, because the business of the new restaurant next door is so good, we want to watch the excitement.

We promise that it won't happen again.」

“The two waiters realized that the boss was in anger, so they confessed. 

Anyway, it is better to surrender than to realize that they are coming. 

At least they think so. ”

「It's delicious, it tastes very crisp, what kind of dish is this?」

“Luke had the courage to take the lead in picking up the vegetables in front of him, and what he had placed in front of him was just fried water lotus with garlic.”

「Water lily, a kind of pyjama.」

“In order to introduce them to the boss, Xiaowen even went to the library to look up the plant dictionaries. 

Although I don’t know if the boss understands them, it’s better than not introducing them. ”

「What about this, what is this?」

“This time, Luke simply picked up a brownish-looking dish, which was sweet and sour, but the meat was not very hard, but it was easy to eat.”     

「 Sweet and sour pork ribs, made with pork.」

“Xiaowen is very conscientious. He has to introduce almost every dish, but there is no way. 

Who is Luke is very curious, but he himself seems to be very happy in it. ”

“ After eating it all the way, the plate is about to bottom out, and even a few bottles of wine have been drunk.

 Everyone is already drunk.

 Only Alex and Xiaowen are the exceptions, probably because they are nothing at all. eat.

Luke was already playing crazy at this time. 

Everyone started talking nonsense, even started talking drunk, and kept saying: Let's go, let's continue the stall.”

「I  don't think this will work, they are all drunk.

Xiaowen, can you send them home.」

“Alex finally couldn't stand this situation. 

Fortunately, he didn't eat much just now.

 Although he only ate a bitter gourd scrambled salted egg, it seemed that there was only one that suits his appetite, which should be considered a good thing. ”

“The next day, everyone couldn't get up. 

Maybe it was because he was too relaxed yesterday. 

In addition to drinking too much, he was already in a hangover state.

 Even Luke's stomach was in a very uncomfortable state.”

「 I knew that you couldn't drink less yesterday. 

People who were going to work today were still like that yesterday.

I think I can only take a day off today. 

Anyway, I have already informed other people that you can take good care of your body today.」

“Alex knocked on the next room early in the morning, and Luke got up very hard and came to open the door in his bathrobe. ”

    

「That's good, because my stomach is very uncomfortable now.

Maybe I can't eat anything today.」

“Luke's expression didn't seem to be very good either, but he saw that his face was livid, and it seemed that he hadn't had a good time last night, and even dark circles appeared.”  

「No, at least you have to eat something.

Don't worry, I have asked the restaurant, they will prepare porridge.」

“What Alex is most concerned about is the health of the chef, plus Luke is a friend of his own for many years, and of course he needs to take care of it. ”

「 I have to say that you are progressing so fast, in just three weeks.

After three weeks, your cooking seems to have become more refined.」

“Alex thought that it was daily practice that forced these chefs to make progress. 

Although Luke was a bit too strict and didn't even let the staff go off work, who called him the chef.”

「What you mean by this is that they passed.

Yes, finally I can go for a drink.

Frank, you guys have to go together and celebrate.」

“Luke's happiest thing is to be able to relax.

 After all, he has been in the restaurant for the past few weeks, even people can't stand it. ”

  

「Yes, chef.

The manager they are already there waiting for us.

The boss, don't go together.」

“The chefs also took off their chef robes and looked forward to the waiting party. 

The most important thing is to drink enough.”

「No, you go.

This meal will be treated as if I invited you to have fun.」

“Alex obviously didn't want to go, because he didn't know how to drink, and it was useless to go.

 Besides, he still hadn't adapted to the cooking here. ”

「No, you are our boss.

Alex, don't do this, at least go all at once.

If you really don't like it, wait and leave.」

“Luke just pulled Alex to the meeting place. 

Although it was a bit semi-compulsive, Alex didn't seem to want to struggle.”

「They are coming.

Boss, sit here.」

“Xiaowen and the others have ordered some beer first, but now they only have the food and they haven't come up yet.

 It seems that they are asking the boss to come over and talk about it. ”

「Come, boss, here is the menu, you can order whatever you want.」

“The menu was dazzling, with all kinds of dishes, and they were in front of Alex and they didn't know what to order for a while.”

「 I'm here, Xiaowen, what is this, I want to eat this.」

“Luke took the menu first, compared with the garlic fried water lotus on it, and showed it to Xiaowen, so as not to order something he didn't want to eat. ”

  

「 The dishes made with garlic are a kind of green vegetables.

You can also order others, such as pineapple shrimp balls, bitter gourd fried salted eggs, and even sweet and sour pork ribs.」

“Xiaowen wanted to recommend a few of the most famous dishes in hot stir-fried restaurants. 

Although I don't know if the boss likes them, it should be good to try them.”    

「OK, then you can help us order some dishes that you think are delicious.」

“Before long, there were several dishes on the table, all of which Lu Ke hadn't seen. 

沒過多久，桌子上已經放了幾道料理，都是路可沒看過的，從右到左依序是皮蛋地瓜葉、三杯中卷、椒鹽杏鮑菇、菜脯蛋、客家小炒、蛤蜊絲瓜。

「Not bad, it seems to have listened to me.」

“In order to know what Luke was going to do, Alex stayed in the store late in particular, but he did not expect to use this method.”

「Manager, what are you looking at.」

“Xiaowen was checking the tableware in the store, and found that the store manager had stayed so late, still looking at the kitchen, and knowing what he was looking at, this aroused his curiosity. ”

「Of course, looking at them, I didn't expect it to be a joint liability law.

It seems that I am really pleased to people.」

“Alex was finally relieved to leave the store to Luke, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Luke's approach, because this not only united the chefs, but they even dared not make mistakes in the future.”  

「Joint liability law, what is that.

Doesn't mean the raw meat that was not cooked this morning.」

“Xiaowen heard the manager's words, so he realized. 

It turns out that the chef was punishing the chefs for what happened this morning.

 Although this is a bit strict, it seems to be a good thing for the restaurant. ”

    

「 Yes, the two of us had better go now.

Leave the shop to them.」

“Alex left the store quietly with Xiaowen, and quietly closed the door while Luke was training the chefs.”

“ Thanks to Luke's unremitting efforts, time came three weeks later.

As long as you pass today, you can celebrate in the evening. 

It is also the day that Luke is most looking forward to. 

He has been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

「 On table 20, a rib-eye steak half-rare, a filet mignon half-rare, and another scallop.

Hurry up, today is very important.」

“I have to say that Luke attaches great importance to today, because if he misses today, he will have to wait three more weeks to get together, so now he is both nervous and excited.”

  

「Yes, chef.

Ace, remember to heat up the pan first, don't forget.

Lori, remember to keep turning the seafood so that it doesn’t burn.」

“Now it really looks like a normal kitchen.

 Everyone is reminding each other to start the action, just to let the guests eat a meal. ”

「How is it, how is it.

Say it quickly.」

“It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the work was over, and there were no more guests at this time, and Alex came to Luke with a serious expression.”  

「I think…」

“Alex's expressionless face made Luke even more frightened, but he was only half talking at this time, which made people more anxious. ”
