Chapter 6 Guest Chef
After discussing the business, seeing that it was already noon, Zhao Ye took advantage of the opportunity and proposed to invite the two of them to dinner.

Huang Xiuhui didn't want to, but she refused: "What's so delicious about this fried chicken burger? Why don't you stay at home at noon and let me cook for you, which can be regarded as a cleansing for Xiaosu."

Hearing this, Wang Jianfei couldn't help being a little embarrassed. You must know that on the way here, he did not miss the fast food restaurant near Zhao Ye's Amway.

"I think it's okay. Not to mention that fast food saves time, it's also good that it's not expensive."

Huang Xiuhui shook her head and said in distaste: "You're used to these junk foods, of course you think it's good. But Xiao Su is new here, how can she adapt to American tastes?"

"I'm fine, I can eat anything."

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he suddenly thought that Wang Jianfei had mentioned that Aunt Huang’s family owned a Chinese restaurant, so he had an idea, so he volunteered:

"It's my first visit, I'm really sorry to trouble the host, Aunt Huang, if you two don't dislike me, how about I cook this meal?"

Wang Jianfei didn't care about it, but Huang Xiuhui looked surprised, looked Zhao Ye up and down, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect Xiao Su to be able to cook, so I have to try it. I don't know Xiao Su is good at cooking." What to cook?"

"I know some home-cooked dishes. If I'm really good at it, I have a bit of research on Sichuan cuisine, but I don't know if Auntie and David can eat spicy food?"

When it comes to cooking skills, Zhao Ye is really not bragging. He wandered in Shanghai for many years before crossing over. In his skill column, there is a reason why there will be a second-level cooking skill.

According to the description of the system, the five levels of ordinary skills represent: the first level is beginners, the second level is proficient, the third level is masters, the fourth level is masters, and the fifth level is superb.

Therefore, the second-level culinary skills may not seem to be high, but in fact they are enough. The average chef may only reach the third-level level. They are all at the legendary level.

In Zhao Ye's view, apart from the convenience and various rewards that the system can provide, the most precious thing is the ability to upgrade skills.

In layman's terms, as long as you have enough skill experience, you can upgrade to the full level without encountering any bottlenecks in the middle. This is a huge benefit, which is equivalent to invisibly opening the limiter of the body.

After figuring this out, Zhao Ye made a decision that he must learn as many skills as possible in the first world to prepare for the later time travel.

Closer to home, after learning that the two could eat spicy food, Zhao Ye immediately took action. He first checked the seasoning at Huang Xiuhui's house, and then, accompanied by Wang Jianfei, went to a nearby supermarket to buy fresh ingredients.

Soon, under Zhao Ye's careful preparation, six dishes including fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, double-cooked pork, boiled fish, dried beans, fried soybeans with pickled vegetables, and a pot of white rice were freshly baked.

Huang Xiuhui and Wang Jianfei tasted a few sips each, and they gave thumbs up at the same time. Wang Jianfei was even more puzzled:

"I just found out today that authentic Chinese food is so delicious, but why is it different from what I used to eat?"

Naturally, Huang Xiuhui has the right to speak on this issue. She explained with a smile: "You don't understand this. Those Chinese restaurants make changes to cater to the tastes of Yankees. If you want to eat authentic Chinese food , You must tell the waiter in advance before eating."

"So that's the case. I said how the twice-cooked pork that I ate last time was sweet!" Wang Jianfei suddenly realized.

Huang Xiuhui smiled, ignored Wang Jianfei, and the topic returned to Zhao Ye.

"Xiao Su can do this, much better than our family's."

Zhao Ye said again and again: "Aunt Huang has won the award. My cooking skills are actually average. I figured it out by myself. I dare not compare with professionals."

Huang Xiuhui shook her head, and sighed: "Xiao Su, don't be modest, your Aunt Huang and I are from the north, and I always like spicy dishes, but your Uncle Liu is good at Huaiyang cuisine. I'm hungry."

Wang Jianfei on the side assisted in a timely manner: "Jenny, if you think Su's cooking skills are not bad, why not introduce him to work in your restaurant, so that David can spend time with you."

Huang Xiuhui was really moved when she heard it, and quickly asked Zhao Ye for his opinion.

"I'm planning to apply to the school for a work-study qualification. With the help of Aunt Huang, I will save myself from looking for a job."

The reason why Zhao Ye put so much thought into this was for this reason, where there was no reason to refuse, he immediately agreed, and then mentioned the difficulties.

"However, one thing needs to be explained in advance. I have to go to class during the week. I'm afraid I don't have much time, so I can only go to work on weekends. I don't know if uncle will mind?"

Huang Xiuhui replied without thinking: "Don't ask him, I'm in charge of this matter, and I'll take you to Chinatown in San Francisco in a while."

It can be seen that this Aunt Huang is also a vigorous leader. After finishing the meal, she will simply clean up and drive Zhao Ye to San Francisco by herself.

Wang Jianfei, who had already earned the commission, bid farewell tactfully. When parting, he left his mobile phone number to Zhao Ye, and kindly reminded:

"Su, remember to call me if you have anything to do. Also, you'd better choose an English name, which will make it easier to communicate with Americans. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion."

Although Zhao Ye was too lazy to come up with an English name, he still thanked Wang Jianfei for his kindness and said that he would call him when he got a US mobile phone card.

Watching Wang Jianfei drive away, Zhao Ye got into Huang Xiuhui's car. The two talked and laughed while heading towards San Francisco.

Chinatown in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States, and Chinatown in New York on the east coast, are known as the largest Chinese settlements in the United States.

There are more than [-] Chinese living in it, as well as a large number of Asians, and a small number of white and black people. Most of these ethnic groups are Vietnamese.

In this Chinese-inhabited area, there are colorful Chinese cultures everywhere. What is written and heard is in Chinese, and what you see is very traditional Chinese.

There are all kinds of daily necessities from China, and even precious jewelry, as well as traditional restaurants and buildings, such as the ancient temple of Tin Hau.

This is a different place, just like a small China.

After arriving in Chinatown, which occupies an area of ​​Shiliujie Street, Huang Xiuhui drove Zhao Ye into it from Tianxiawei Gonglou at the intersection of Duban Street and Bush Street, and then passed the historic St. Mary’s Church, and finally parked the car in Ross The parking space at the entrance of the alley, took Zhao Ye to a two-story restaurant in the alley.

The restaurant has an antique flavor and is built in full accordance with the ancient Chinese architectural style. The plaque on the main entrance reads three gilded characters, Jinxiulou.

At this time, it was already past lunch time, and the restaurant seemed quite deserted, with only two tables of guests sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

The acclimatized student dozing off at the cash register saw his lady boss coming, and hurriedly greeted her enthusiastically, "Why are you here, are you looking for the boss?"

Huang Xiuhui looked around, nodded and asked casually, "Where's your boss?"

Adaptation student looked at Zhao Ye curiously, pointed in the direction of the back kitchen and said, "A batch of seafood just arrived, the boss is worried, so he went to the back to watch him personally, should I call him?"

"No, I'll go find him myself."
