Chapter 769

Fang Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? Five-star restaurant?"

He asked, "Can you specifically talk about your work experience in that restaurant?"

Wu Yidao showed a triumphant smile: "Of course! I worked in that restaurant for five years, learned a lot of things there, I was responsible for dish research and development, and was often praised by guests."

Fang Yang nodded slightly, indicating understanding. He continued to ask: "Then what is your purpose for coming here?"

Wu Yidao answered without hesitation: "I hope to become the head chef here and demand a high salary."

Hearing this, Fang Yang couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

Wu Yidao's request made him feel a bit confused.

This was just an ordinary restaurant; although the taste was good, it did not have the level of a five-star restaurant.

Why did Wu Yidao choose to come here to apply? Fang Yang looked at the confident Wu Yidao calmly, feeling a bit hesitant in his heart.

He didn't want to affect the work atmosphere of the entire restaurant because of an overly conceited chef.

However, since Wu Yidao was so confident, he also wanted to see what kind of extraordinary skills the other party had.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yang decided to give Wu Yidao a chance to show his culinary skills.

He nodded slightly and said: "Okay, since you are so confident, then make us a signature dish."

Wu Yidao immediately became spirited and nodded without hesitation.

"Of course! I will prepare a superb dish for you."

After speaking, he quickly walked into the kitchen.

Fang Yang and Li Zhou waited at the table for Wu Yidao's performance.

Bursts of busy sounds came from the kitchen, occasionally mixed with various cooking sounds.

After a while, Wu Yidao walked out of the kitchen holding a kitchen knife.

He placed the plate containing the dish on the table and carefully arranged a beautiful shape.

"This is my signature dish—braised abalone." Wu Yidao introduced proudly.

Fang Yang and Li Zhou looked at the braised abalone on the plate and couldn't help but feel surprised.

The color of the dish was bright, the texture was full, and it seemed to exude an alluring fragrance.

Li Zhou couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and put a piece of braised abalone into his mouth.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "The taste is truly superb!"

However, Fang Yang frowned.

He continued to taste a few more bites, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Wu Yidao noticed Fang Yang's strange expression and couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

He was looking forward to Fang Yang's evaluation.

Fang Yang put down his chopsticks and said after a moment of silence: "Although the appearance and taste of the dish are quite good, it lacks a kind of spiritual energy."

Hearing this, Wu Yidao felt a bit disappointed. "Spiritual energy? Can you specifically talk about what that means?"

Fang Yang looked out the window and patted the dust on his hands lightly.

"In my opinion, a dish should not only pursue taste, but also have a kind of charm, a kind of atmosphere that can leave a deep impression. Although your braised abalone is very beautiful, it lacks a sense of agility."

Wu Yidao was silent for a moment, obviously a bit disappointed with Fang Yang's evaluation.

He suddenly showed a firm expression. "Mr. Fang, I can guarantee that as long as you give me a chance, I will definitely be able to make this restaurant famous!"

Fang Yang smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Sorry, Mr. Wu. Although your culinary skills are not bad, I don't think our restaurant is suitable for you." Wu Yidao was very surprised; he was very confident in his culinary skills and asked for the reason.

Wu Yidao found Fang Yang and asked with a puzzled face: "Fang Yang, is my food not delicious? Why did you reject me?"

Fang Yang explained with a smile: "Mr. Wu, please don't misunderstand. Your food is indeed very delicious, but in my eyes, a restaurant needs more charm."

After hearing these words, Wu Yidao fell into deep thought. He had never considered the question of whether a dish had spiritual energy.

Fang Yang continued: "In my opinion, a truly excellent chef not only cooks delicious dishes, but also brings people a wonderful experience and emotion."

Wu Yidao listened intently, "Please give me an example."

Fang Yang sighed slightly, looking at Wu Yidao's honest eyes.

He didn't want to hurt the other party's self-esteem, but he believed that telling the truth was the right choice.

Fang Yang explained patiently: "Wu Yidao, your cooking technique is indeed very superb, and there is no big problem with the taste. However, in the position of being excellent in color, fragrance, taste, and shape, it is not just about technical ability, but also requires meticulous observation. The dishes you make, whether it is seasoning or plating, have some small flaws and shortcomings."

Wu Yidao listened intently, and he reflected on these words silently in his heart.

Although a bit disappointed, he felt that he might have only seen the surface of the dishes.

Seeing Wu Yidao fall into deep thought, Fang Yang continued: "For example, this abalone stewed tofu you made is slightly monotonous in seasoning. You can try adding some special seasonings or try new combinations to improve the taste level."

Wu Yidao frowned slightly, and he began to understand the truth of what Fang Yang said.

"I understand." He said in a low voice, "You want me to show more creativity and personalization in cooking, right?"

Fang Yang nodded with a smile: "That's right. A good chef not only knows how to cook, but also has his own unique style and innovation ability. Only in this way can you truly touch the hearts of customers." "If it were just this problem, you would be fully qualified to enter our restaurant."

Fang Yang's brows frowned even tighter, and he brought up his evaluation of Wu Yidao again: "Another very important problem is that you smoke in the kitchen."

"Mr. Wu, this shows that you are completely unaware of the importance of this position. As a head chef, you need to maintain the hygiene of the entire kitchen; your smoking already shows that you don't care about my small shop, right?"

Hearing this, Wu Yidao showed a look of guilt on his face.

He knew he had made a big mistake. "Fang Yang, I am really sorry."

His voice trembled a bit, "I actually wanted to smoke because the work pressure was too great. I know this is not an excuse, but I am really remorseful."

"Sorry, I can't gamble on this." Fang Yang still rejected him; a chef covered in the smell of smoke, how could that be acceptable?

Wu Yidao walked out of the restaurant silently, his heart filled with guilt.

He knew that Fang Yang's criticism was very reasonable, and he deeply regretted his unprofessional behavior.

The whole afternoon passed, and no one came to apply for the chef position in the restaurant again.

Fang Yang looked at the time passing by anxiously, but there was no progress.

He began to worry that this problem would have an adverse effect on the operation of their restaurant.

Li Zhou noticed Fang Yang's anxious mood and walked up to comfort him softly: "Don't worry, Fang Yang. Perhaps more people will come to apply tomorrow."

Fang Yang nodded with a bitter smile, but could not get rid of the anxiety in his heart.

"I know you want to comfort me, but I really hope this problem can be solved as soon as possible." His tone revealed a hint of helplessness. Fang Yang held onto the last glimmer of hope and decided to try his luck in the live broadcast room.

He opened his phone and entered the live broadcast platform.

The screen of the live broadcast room appeared a bit dark, and Fang Yang deliberately adjusted his expression to be sad and confused.

"Hello everyone, I am Fang Yang. Today I came to confide in you about my predicament."

He began to tell the story of the restaurant not having a chef with a trembling voice, while emphasizing that the treatment was very generous.

He deliberately exaggerated his emotions, looking for help like a lost wanderer.

As his crying became deeper, warm messages appeared on the screen, and netizens expressed their sympathy for Fang Yang's current situation one after another.

"Fang Yang, don't worry! We support you!"

"If you don't mind that I have no experience, I can be a chef!"

"Please tell me the treatment and working hours!"

Fang Yang felt very gratified after seeing these messages.

It seemed that someone was really interested in this position.

"Thank you all for your support! This job treatment is very generous, and the working hours are flexible. As long as you have passion for food and are diligent and hardworking, we welcome you to join!"

For a time, the live broadcast room was filled with messages and discussions from netizens.

They asked about treatment, job requirements, working environment, etc.

Fang Yang answered every question carefully, trying to provide as detailed information as possible for potential job seekers.

"Wow! This chef job is so tempting! I decided to apply!"

"It seems my dream of becoming a chef is about to be realized!"

Fang Yang's eyes lit up; he felt that some netizens really wanted to apply.

Although he knew that the live broadcast room method was just icing on the cake and could not replace the recruitment channel, he urgently needed to place hope at this moment.

"Thank you very much for your support. If you are truly interested in this position, please be sure to come and contact me, or email me, thank you all!"

Fang Yang waved goodbye to the camera with a smile. Fang Yang continued to run the restaurant, busy day and night. ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
