Chapter 13 What, is what I made really bad?
Before long, Wei Yan brought Xue Wu to the kitchen.
Wang Xiao glanced up at the two of them, then continued chopping the garlic sprouts in his hands, saying, "Wait outside. We can talk after dinner."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Okay, boss."
After the two sat down in the cafeteria, Wang Xiao put the prepared meat into the pot of cold water, along with some side dishes such as chopped ginger, scallions, and Sichuan peppercorns.
After patiently waiting for 30 minutes, Wang Xiao took it out and began slicing it.
However, Wang Xiao's knife skills were indeed not impressive.
This can't be blamed on Wang Xiao, since he really can't cook. He works away from home all year round, so he either eats at the partner's canteen or orders takeout.
It's no exaggeration to say that he has created quite good results for food delivery riders.
Although life has never given Wang Xiao a chance to showcase his talents, it doesn't stop him from taking screenshots of his favorite dishes and saving them in his phone's photo album.
Now that he doesn't have to go to work, he can take this opportunity to showcase his superb culinary talent.
Wang Xiao carefully followed the steps saved in the album, meticulously executing each one.
However, just as Wang Xiao confidently placed a plate of twice-cooked pork, whose color looked a little off, on the table for the two of them, Wei Yan and Xue Wu's expressions gradually became serious.
For a moment, the two looked at each other and began to communicate with their eyes.
Xue Wu: Boss, what kind of dish is this? This dish smells a bit bitter. Is it really edible?
Wei Yan: I don't know. Why don't you try it first, Uncle Xue?
Xue Wu: You're still growing, you eat first.
Wei Yan: No, no, Uncle Xue, you're going out with the boss later, so eat more.
……
Seeing the two looking at each other and hesitating to pick up their chopsticks, Wang Xiao frowned slightly and raised his hand to urge them, "What are you standing there for? Try it!"
Wei Yan seized the opportunity and spoke first, "Uncle Xue, the boss has already spoken, why don't you try it first?"
Perhaps because of his earlier offense to Wang Xiao, Xue Wu glared fiercely at Wei Yan, then took the lead and picked up a slice of meat about 7mm thick with his chopsticks and bit into it.
The moment the meat entered my mouth, an overwhelming bitterness surged up.
Wang Xiao asked impatiently, "How is it?"
Seeing Wang Xiao's expectant look, Xue Wu smiled and nodded, saying, "It's delicious. Xiao Wei, you should try some too."
Wei Yan frowned: Uncle, could your acting be any worse?
Wang Xiao, who was standing to the side, deliberately picked up a thicker slice of meat and placed it in Wei Yan's bowl, saying, "Wei Yan, have a taste."
"Ah, I... okay, boss."
Looking at the slices of meat in the bowl, to be honest, it was the first time he had ever seen someone cut meat so thick.
Take a bite.
Ugh, damn it!
Under Wang Xiao's gaze, Wei Yan swallowed back tears of gratitude, his eyes brimming with the words, "Delicious! It's so damn delicious! By the way, boss, what's the name of this dish?"
Wang Xiao looked puzzled and said, "Didn't you guys realize it? It's twice-cooked pork."
Wei Yan: ?!(⊙_⊙) This is twice-cooked pork? Really? Did he hear wrong?
Xue Wu: Σ(・口・) I can guarantee that I don't see anything about it that resembles twice-cooked pork.
Seeing the two people's surprised expressions, Wang Xiao rubbed his hair and put a thin slice of the pastry in his mouth.
At that moment, Wang Xiao suddenly realized that the system's suggestion was correct.
A perfect hotel cannot be without the important profession of chef.
After a brief silence, Wang Xiao suddenly smiled and looked at the two of them: "Um... I think it's actually fine, what do you guys think?"
In that instant, Wei Yan and Xue Wu suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Their intuition told them that they had better not give the wrong answer next.
The two exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Yes, it's alright."
Seeing that the two were quite satisfied, Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Alright, to avoid wasting food, this plate of twice-cooked pork is yours to finish. No leftovers, understand?"
"what?"
After saying that, Wang Xiao ignored the two of them and slipped back to the kitchen.
After a flurry of activity, Wang Xiao came out carrying a large bowl of noodles filled with various side dishes and sat down opposite the two of them, happily slurping it down.
While they were drinking water, Wang Xiao noticed that the two hadn't started eating, so he urged them, "Eat quickly, Xue Wu, aren't you going to rescue your wife? Finish eating quickly so we can set off."
"well."
Upon hearing that he would go to rescue his wife after finishing his meal, Xue Wu immediately picked up his food and began to boast without saying a word.
Wei Yan thought to himself with admiration: "Awesome, Uncle. I will remember your sacrifice."
Just when Wei Yan thought he had escaped a disaster, Xue Wu suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "Boss, I'm finished eating."
Wei Yan: ? ? ? ?
Wang Xiao, who was standing to the side, also finished his noodles in no time. Looking up, he saw that he still had more than half of his food left. He looked at Wei Yan and said, "Wei Yan, finish it all. Don't leave any leftovers. Also, remember to clean up the kitchen after you finish eating."
Wei Yan glanced at the devilish dish, swallowed hard, and forced a smile, saying, "Okay, boss."
"Xue Wu, let's go."
After saying that, Wang Xiao ignored the somewhat 'dead' Wei Yan and led Xue Wu out of the hotel.
On the way, Xue Wu was unsure how to bring up what had happened that morning.
Wang Xiao naturally knew the reason and said frankly, "You don't need to care too much about what happened upstairs just now; it's all in the past."
Since I promised to help you save your wife, I won't go back on my word.
But please remember, the hotel is mine, and I am the owner.
"If you and your wife want to survive in my hotel, then you'd better get your act together. At the very least, you need to make me feel that saving you and your wife wasn't a bad investment. What do you think, Xue Wu?"
Seeing that Wang Xiao made no attempt to conceal what had just happened upstairs, Xue Wu was no fool.
Xue Wu quickly replied, "I won't let you down, boss."
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "That's enough. Work hard and follow me; you'll get plenty of benefits."
"Yes."
"You remember the location, right?"
"Remember, boss, stay close to me."
……
Xue Wu's wife wasn't far from the hotel. With Wang Xiao's help, the two of them successfully arrived at the entrance of the baby supplies store where Xue Wu's wife was hiding.
But by then, the baby supplies store was surrounded by zombies.
"Wife..."
Xue Wu looked anxious and instinctively wanted to rush out.
Wang Xiao grabbed him: "Don't rush, is it okay if you don't see the door? Rushing over there like this is no different from suicide."
"I'll distract the zombies for a bit, you go and rescue the people. We'll split up, understand?"
Xue Wu refused, saying, "Boss, let me be the bait."
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You seem to have forgotten what I just said. Since you're an employee of my hotel, do as I say. There aren't many zombies along the way, and we just cleared out a batch. With your skills, you shouldn't have any problems, right?"
Having clearly understood the difference in strength between the two, Xue Wu stopped insisting and nodded, saying, "I understand. Boss, be careful. I'll come back to help you after I take my wife to the hotel."
Wang Xiao did not answer. He walked out of the bunker and onto the empty street. He picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it against a car parked nearby.
"wo~lou~wo~lou".
The moment the car alarm went off, it immediately triggered a riot among the surrounding zombies.
Even the residential buildings on both sides were seeing zombies leaping down.
Watching the scene unfold before his eyes, which resembled a Hollywood movie, Wang Xiao silently lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.
"Tsk, what can I do? I'm just a kind-hearted guy."
"You little bastards, if you want to eat me, you'd better catch up with me first."
"roar!!"
