Gourmet: From a Stall in Northern Europe Chapter 247 173: It's Quite Reasonable for Me to Buy Some to
"Isn't it obvious?"
ng Qi pointed at the serving cart: "The second page of the security protocol clearly states that we must ensure the quality and safety of all food within the hotel premises. I have to buy it and taste it to know if there's a problem, right?"
"..."
dron scratched his head, feeling montarily unable to wrap his mind around it.
You're a logistics and security guy, going to assess the quality issues of the Head Chef's food?
Are you crazy!
But if you insist, his actions aren't exactly wrong either. There's no evidence that the food made by the Head Chef is absolutely safe.
Still... why does it feel sowhat strange?
The three of them packed quickly together, especially being trained in teamwork in the kitchen.
Lin Chen was responsible for sorting seafood, Elsa for putting on lids and categorizing, and Dais for checking out and bagging, so that each guest wouldn't have to wait too long and could get their desired food in just a few minutes.
"Delicious, so delicious, a Head Chef is really a Head Chef, anything he makes tastes super good!"
"I can't believe I never thought of trying raw crab. What a waste of so many years, it's insane."
"How is this plain porridge cooked? Drinking it makes feel warm and comfortable, and revitalizes ."
"Eating this raw shrimp feels a bit like Japanese sashimi dipped in soy sauce, but with more flavor. Could it be that sashimi is just a lazy version made by Sakura People?"
The guests' idle chatter reached the ears of the three, but none of them reacted much, even Elsa.
When you've been in the business long enough, you encounter all sorts of people. The best way is not to chat with guests, which ensures maximum work efficiency and doesn't affect your mood.
If a troubleso guest insists on asking you questions, just play dumb and pass it off, especially with issues involving national cultural matters; best not to bring them up if possible.
Luckily, with Lin Chen's status as Head Chef, it was like a natural barrier, letting guests chat amongst themselves without bothering anyone.
Western chefs hold a high status in Western societies, especially those who beco Head Chefs.
"Hello, may I take your order?"
Just as she handed the packed food over to the guest, Dais turned to the next custor and chanically repeated her inquiry.
"Everything, please."
"Alright, it'll be ready shortly, a total of thirty-one euros."
"Hmm?"
Lin Chen furrowed his brows, feeling that voice was extrely familiar, like he'd heard it many tis before.
Looking up, he saw that kid ng Qi waving and grinning at him.
"What the heck, what are you doing here?"
"Didn't expect it, huh, haha~"
ng Qi tugged at his uniform: "Look at this, buddy, I'm officially employed now!"
"Holy crap?!"
If he hadn't ntioned, Lin Chen wouldn't have noticed. He mainly sees people in that uniform every day, already accustod, subconsciously ignoring them.
"Good for you, got a pay raise didn't you?"
This kid was previously just a regular mall security guard, but this is a five-star hotel, they don't hire just anyone.
To submit his resu and succeed in such a short ti shows this kid's quite capable.
"Boss Lin, without your food, do you know how I survived these past weeks?"
ng Qi's eyes turned red, looking like a wronged wife.
"Salad, sandwich, burger, pizza, hotdog, sushi, I've tried them all, with no desire to eat any again, so even unable to finish!"
"If it weren't for Lunard's smoked duck burrito, I might've starved on the streets!"
"...It wasn't that bad, really wasn't!"
Lin Chen wiped the bead of sweat from his forehead, scanning the crowd where curiosity had piqued several guests' interest.
"Anyway, since you're employed now, we'll have ti to catch up later. I'm a bit busy, talk later."
"Oh right, I won't disturb your business then."
Dais had already finished packing his food, and ng Qi nodded to the three, stepping aside for the next guest.
"You know Chef Lin?"
dron intended to reprimand him but was taken aback by the connection he had, unable to utter a word.
"I do, I ca over for him."
"Hmm??"
dron's face changed, instinctively stepping back.
ng Qi's face changed too, waving his hands: "No, I an for Chef's food!"
"Phew... next ti clarify please!"
dron sighed with relief, cautiously glancing around: "You know, the hotel reception's received a few sexual harassnt complaints recently, saying so guy goes around grabbing people's butts, watch out during patrols."
"Holy crap? There's such a person?"
"What did you say just now?"
"Which? 'Holy crap'? I dunno, learned it from Head Chef Lin, seems like an expression of surprise? Anyway, sounds cool, so I rembered it."
"Say it again."
"Holy crap."
"No no, missing sothing, Chef's tone wasn't like this."
"Holy crap?"
"Still not right."
"Holy crap!"
"!!! That's it, that's the tone, Chef your thoughts?"
Lin Chen: "... Just enjoy it."
"What does that word an?"
"It doesn't have a aning, just expresses surprise, amazent, skepticism, etc. Different moods can use it."
