Chapter 332: Chapter 331: So Impressive

Zhang Jinyu finished preparing all the ingredients, and Fu Yu began cooking.

Zhao Meng and Sun Qingning felt powerless; although it was almost lunchtime, their order tickets weren’t completed yet, so no one could leave their work to help Fu Yu.

However, they couldn’t lend a hand but could sneak a glance amidst their busyness.

Lately, Fu Yu had gained many personal skill rewards.

These advanced personal skills had greatly influenced and transformed Fu Yu.

In the practice classes, thousands upon thousands of cooking operations had invisibly provided the best training for his culinary skills.

He cleaned the fresh shrimp, then marinated it with scallions, ginger, salt, pepper powder, and cooking wine.

After cleaning the carp, he made several horizontal cuts with a knife.

Holding the fish tail, he drizzled oil over the fish with a spoon, causing the cuts to open outward.

The entire fish was placed into the oil for frying.

Dong Jun Tian, watching from the side, was startled to find that Fu Yu’s knife skills were so swift and fluid.

Dong Jun Tian keenly observed that when Fu Yu was cooking several dishes at once, he cleverly used all the waiting time.

He ensured not a single second was wasted during the cooking process and mastered the cooking steps with extreme proficiency.

To reach this level, it definitely wasn’t a coincidence; it was clearly the result of his careful summarization and exploration during cooking.

Dong Jun Tian’s gaze toward Fu Yu became more and more appreciative.

This was a person who paid great attention to detail.

However… just how rigorous must the cooking practice be to achieve such near-perfect time management?

With this thought…

Dong Jun Tian couldn’t help but focus more on Fu Yu.

Fu Yu was good-looking; although everyone in the kitchen wore the same chef’s uniform and was drenched in sweat, appearing untidy, when he stood there, he looked neat and refreshingly tidy.

If it weren’t for the faded green floral apron, he would indeed look even more striking.

Looking him up and down, Dong Jun Tian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: What an excellent employee!

Hardworking and serious, with professional cooking skills, paying special attention to detail and personal hygiene.

Look at this chef’s uniform; it’s so clean, like new.

These are the good qualities a chef should possess!

Suddenly feeling a bit remorseful, Dong Jun Tian self-reflected that perhaps he hadn’t been paying enough attention to his employees’ work performance.

He thought maybe he should consider cultivating Fu Yu well in the future.

Young, talented, diligent, and most importantly, not working in the kitchen for long, obedient and manageable, and also good-looking with excellent culinary skills.

Even if he couldn’t surpass Yao Shi in the future, it would be fine if he could match Zhao Meng!

With this in mind, Dong Jun Tian began to ponder how to implement this.

But thinking it over, he realized he might have never really neglected Fu Yu?

If anything, Fu Yu’s rapid progress and exceptional talent continually brought him surprises.

One dish after another was quickly completed and plated.

When making banana pie, the kitchen finally became leisurely.

After finishing his tasks, Sun Qingning didn’t rush to eat but directly went over to assist Fu Yu.

Zhang Jinyu turned and, upon seeing Sun Qingning, eagerly made way with relief.

Zhang Jinyu suffered from superficial gastritis and couldn’t go hungry.

On usual days, by lunchtime, he could casually find something to eat to fill his stomach.

But today, with the boss suddenly visiting and Fu Yu handling a major banquet order, he stood nearly an hour, feeling a clear burning pain in his stomach.

Zhang Jinyu gave Sun Qingning a grateful smile.

Sun Qingning nodded in response and quietly took over.

One assisting Zhao Meng and the other Fu Yu, they had a good relationship, understanding each other well.

For matters like mutual backup, a simple look was enough for seamless communication.

Sun Qingning and Fu Yu were long-time partners, familiar with each other, needing no adjustment period.

After replacing Zhang Jinyu, he skillfully assisted Fu Yu, continuously washing utensils, wiping the kitchen counter, and passing dishes.

Everything was orderly, facilitating the smooth progress of Fu Yu’s cooking.

The abalone was steaming in the pot, and Fu Yu was preparing to mix the sauce.

Sun Qingning couldn’t help but glance twice.

Yet, before he could identify Fu Yu’s cooking steps, he saw that Fu Yu had already mixed the fried minced garlic and chili paste into the sauce…

At that moment, Sun Qingning froze.

He was shocked to find Fu Yu’s hand speed in cooking had significantly increased… Moreover, his utilization of downtime during cooking had reached an extraordinary level, wasting not a single second!

Incredible!

Sun Qingning, while busy passing things, couldn’t help but repeatedly marvel in his heart.

No wonder he’s Chef Fu!

He’s truly remarkable!

Others accumulate cooking experience over years, while he does it by days!!

Sun Qingning looked admiringly at Fu Yu, feeling both respectful and proud.

Their Chef Fu is so perfect that there isn’t a single flaw!

The hawthorn jelly had set, and now it was time for plating and decoration.

Sun Qingning had already handed over the cleaned scallops, and Fu Yu casually took them, thinking how Sun Qingning was indeed more handy.

Zhang Jinyu could also work, but in terms of intuition and cooperation, Sun Qingning was a notch above.

Fu Yu suddenly remembered the bond between him and Sun Qingning as an assistant pair.

Perhaps due to this, their mutual understanding was more easily cultivated than with others.

But why was there no sign of the reward yet?

Fu Yu couldn’t help but glance at Sun Qingning.

He wished for iron to become steel!

Sun Qingning: “…”

Why is Chef Fu suddenly looking at me?

Is it because he thinks I’m more useful than Zhang Jinyu?

Just as expected, the old ginger is spicier, and the old assistant is more reliable!

Sun Qingning felt a small thrill of excitement.

Zhao Meng stood silently on the side, neither speaking nor stepping in.

Watching, he realized that Fu Yu’s cooking operations were actually quite entertaining.

Firstly, the wok flipping; when flipping, his movements were crisp and swift, and the ingredients in the pot rose and fell in an orderly rhythm.

Secondly, the time management; cooking multiple dishes simultaneously, he perfectly integrated all the operational steps together, as if each step was meticulously calculated.

Finally, the plating; the precision of the technique, the mastery of the movements, seemed like an artist creating a satisfactory piece, even the simplest stacking resembling the creation of art.

In the end, Zhao Meng couldn’t help but sigh with awe.

Not just him, even Dong Jun Tian, watching seriously from start to finish for the first time, thought to himself, this Fu Yu… is amazing!
