If You're Not Confident I'll Kiss You
His villa rarely had visitors, if there were, Lin Ke Song believed that they were all very important people, how could a student who pretty et out there?
”Don't worry, they aren't people who are picky about food, they're only a few restaurant partners I plan to open a few casual dining restaurants, so the food won't be of such a high standard as you've seen in polarlights The people and the price are the most important, there is no need for flaive it a try? Bruce may not even kno to cook steak, but had the confidence to make so many well-known fine dishes to host Don't you have even this confidence?”
Jiang Qian Fan's voice had no overbearing tone, it was the statement he usually said
And at that erness to be impulsive
Even if she made it taste terrible, with her current standard, she couldn't possibly make it as bad as the ”hell's red soup” ba?
She really wanted to know, if she depended on herself, whether the things she made could be accepted by others
”I' to try”
”don't try, but do it well” Jiang Qian Fan got up, and fetched a chef's white shi+rt, ”Wear it ba”
Lin Ke Song was stunned, she opened and saw, that this obviously didn'tQian Fan's measurements
”this was prepared for me?”
”I got Mayer to prepare this, you'd use it sooner or later”
Lin Ke Song would have never thought that Jiang Qian Fan would even prepare even this for her
Thinking back, even though Jiang Qian Fan had never directly taught her anything, he'd given her many opportunities to learn, to experience the rush in starred fine dining restaurant For her to be able to depend on her sense of taste to deconstruct the three dishes and the cooking methods, would be dependent on this past month's theoretical study and experience in the back kitchen
These, Lin Ke Song believed that Bruce had never received before
”Thank you”
Lin Ke Song put on the white shi+rt This was in an extren, but it represented a responsibility
Jiang Qian Fan reached his hand over, searching and landing on Lin Ke Song's shoulder
He flattened the cloth, and straightened the collar
”To a chef, the uniform is very important too Don't let your customers think that you're dirty and don't like cleanliness”
”Yes, Chef” Lin Ke Song pursed her lips, and looked at Jiang Qian Fan in the eye
It was of the darkest deepest black crystal, reflecting a shi+ne that moved people's hearts
Jiang Qian Fan's fingers grazed past the skin on Lin Ke Song's neck, and at the moment of interaction, the blood at her neck felt like they were gonna burst out of the blood vessels
Her heartbeat increased by leaps and bounds
She knew that it wasn't due to her beco a chef for a day, but because of the close distance between Jiang Qian Fan and her
His breath, his warain invaded her world, unable to exclude, unable to refuse
When he turned his face over, and tucked her flyaways to the back of her ears, she even had an illusion that he was going to kiss her again
”Noill greet my friends, introduce today's dish You can prepare to start work now Do you knohat you have to do?”
”Marinate steak, make dessert, because the former needs time to let the flavours sink in, and the latter needs time to freeze”
”Very good”
With those words, Jiang Qian Fan retreated 2 steps, turned around and walked out
This dinner's location was on the 2nd floor terrace of this villa
The table was set appropriately The simple vase held a fresh bouquet of lavender, that with a soft breeze, would one be able to s scent
The glass wares that held the candles, just happened to be placed in front of the 3 guests
Mayer elegantly helped thehter
When Jiang Qian Fan appeared, the 3 of them stood up
”Mr Jiang!”
”hello” Jiang Qian Fan nodded, reaching his hand out to offer the time since I've invited the three of you here Of course, ned dishes for the new menu a taste test Everyone knows that I plan to open a casual dining restaurant in New York, where the target group is the middle class So, in this kind of restaurant, there will not be extreoal, is to use coe person will find delicious, but be unable to easily recreate in their homes”
”Yes, a lot of f&b industry giants are considering doing chain restaurants now Even though personally don't agree with this kind of utilitarian practice, restaurants need to e scale The restaurant Mr Jiang speaks of is a great choice On one hand, there won't be erial probleredients can be used to create high-quality foods, and help Jiang co to widen their reputation, to be known to more people”
”Furthermore, chefs of this kind of restaurants need not be as fine as other fine dining restaurants, after all, even though there needs to be a certain foundation of the coredients most people are familiar with, it's not necessary to have complicated preparation like the other starred restaurants, service will be more productive”
The few guests talked a themselves, with much anticipation for the dishes that will be presented
”in that case, please wait a moment”
After Jiang Qian Fan announced the uests were very curious
”don't kno the Italian balsa made would taste like? You must know, that every tihth it's common, not everyone can make it well”
”You're funny, you obviously know that you can make it yourself, ould you let your wife torture your tongue?”
”this is the way ladly accept”
Just as the three of the had already started on the flavoured cigar rolls
She had melted an appropriate amount of butter Sprinkled feta cheese into the ether then tasted the flavour, to make sure of the balance of the , and to sprinkle the appropriate amount of salt Then she retrieved the pizza that she had made freshly today, evenly brush on the ar rollit And lastly use excessive oil absorbing paper to absorb the grease
She didn't forget to plate, to pair every strip of cigar roll with a fresh bean sprout And under each cigar roll was a well-made prepared hollandaise sauce
Before she sent it out, she didn't forget to have a taste of the finished product
”Mr Jiang, would you like to have a taste to confir asked
”You need to have faith in your sense of taste” Jiang Qian Fan passed the plated to Mayer, to bring out
Just gonna serve it as it is?
”Concentrate, Ke Song You should forget the appetiser, because you can't change the taste of the dish any main dish”
”Yes, chef” Lin Ke Song , noabout the critiques
The only thing she can do, is to make the main dish even more perfect
Lin Ke Song did the preparations for 3 portions of steak according to the method before She then confirmed the fire for the steak, the taste of the sauce at the base of the plate, the sourness of the arugula, and lastly plated si to Mayer
Mayer gave a sht the dishes out
This was like an exa had finished two-thirds of the examination paper, she had to carefully throw herself into the last question, to let this round of examination finish perfectly
The pudding in the fridge had already taken for didn't only make one
She took one of them out, took a spoon and scooped one to taste, to 's taste, bounciness, and flavour was to her satisfaction, then start onthe jam
She kept inQian Fan had said to her before, that as a chef, she herself had toto be used
She tasted the blueberries, pineapple and the peaches, and according to the degree of their sweetness and sourness, made sure of the ratio of the fruits, then made the jam
Aftersure that every link ithout fault, she ether and drizzled it on the pudding, and placed a bird nest shaped with carale piece of ave off the feel of a picture in a cooking book
When even the dessert was taken away by Mayer, Lin Ke Song leaned against the counter and lifted her head, and took a deep breath
”How does it feel?”
Jiang Qian Fan who had been silently in the kitchen finally spoke
Lin Ke Song couldn't help laughing, she was too focused, and had al”
Jiang Qian Fan took out 2 tall glasses, and poured cha
