「Chef, how are you?

Your face doesn’t look very good.」

“The next morning, although Luke was in the restaurant early, his stomach was not very comfortable.”

「It may be because of drinking too much alcohol yesterday.

I still have a pain in my head.」

“Luke is working hard with his body, after all, he doesn’t worry about these chefs. ”

「 The chef, you should go back to rest.

Don’t worry about a few of us.」

“Frank is more worried about the chef’s current body, besides, drinking alcohol would cause harm to the body.”

「No, I’m fine.

It will be all right after a rest.」

“Of course, it is impossible for Luke to be obedient.

You must know that if no one is staring at these chefs, it is very dangerous. ”

「 Boss, the chef seems to be unwell.

Let him go home and rest.」

“Seeing that the chef didn’t listen to their apprentices, Lori went outside and asked the boss to come out faster.”

「How could this happen, let me see.」

“Alex is obviously worried.

After all, the chef is the core of this restaurant. ”

「Alex, I’m fine.

Just take a break.」

“Luke seemed to want to keep going, even until the night after get off work.”

「That’s not okay, so people will say that I abusive employees.

You still ask for a day off today.

If you don’t trust these employees, just leave it to me.

I will stare.」

“Alex’s words were obviously helpful, Luke was shaken quickly, and he was also driven home. ”

「 You guys hear it, so hurry up and start acting.

No mistakes can be made today.

Don’t relax just because the road is not there.」

“It seems that Alex is planning to take a trip both outfield and infield.

After all, he has already agreed to Luke’s things, so he can’t miss the appointment.”

「 Yes, boss.」

“Frank planned to take advantage of the boss’s busy schedule to manage these chefs himself. ”

“ Just as Alex was busy running between the outfield and the infield, things seemed to have changed again.”

“Xinlin came here uninvited, and still brought a man in.

I don’t know what he was going to do this time. ”

「It’s also very good here, and we have to go to work tomorrow.

Can’t go back too late.」

“Alex was afraid that he would go to the bar, and he would definitely not go home until midnight.

How could he do that.”

「Okay, what are we going to drink.

I haven’t drunk the wine here, and I don’t know how to choose.」

“Luke and the others walked directly to the freezer, which was filled with a pile of alcohol, including fruit wines and high-alcoholic ones. ”

「How about beer, it seems to be here.

You can help confirm it.」

“Alex quickly found the most conspicuous wine.

To be honest, he has not drunk Taiwan beer until now, and I don’t know what the taste will be.”

「Yes, that’s it.」

“Although Luke agreed, he immediately walked to another place to stay, and it seemed that he was looking for something. ”

「Then we have one bottle per person.

Why are people missing?」

“When Alex took out the bottle, he realized that Luke was no longer there.”

「How do we go with this, beer needs to go with something to not hurt the stomach.」

“Luke excitedly brought two packs of biscuits over, and it seemed that he was just choosing something to go with. ”

「By the way, I heard that you want to find a house.

The current residence is not good, don’t you live in an unaccustomed one.」

“Then the two began to sit in the supermarket, drinking beer while starting a new topic.”

「How do you know, I remember I only told Frank about them.」

“Luke didn’t expect things to leak out so quickly, but he didn’t mean to be surprised. ”

「Frank, he told me that you want to find a new place to live.」

“Alex became unhappy for a while, the reason for his unhappiness was just because he was not the first to know, but from others.”

「No, I just want to live here.

Besides, staying in a hotel all the time is also very inconvenient for me.

You can’t do whatever you want.」

“Luke had the intention of wanting to stay, probably because he had already had feelings for this place for a long time. ”

「It turned out to be like this, then I’ll find it with you.

First, look for a store that sells the house, but the key point is where to find it.」

“Alex seemed to understand, because Luke seemed to adapt to this country better than himself.”

「Then ask Frank them tomorrow.

They are locals anyway, and they must know best.」

“Before they knew it, the two men also took out all the beer and two packets of biscuits.

In the night, they were already drunk and returned to the hotel. ”

「You are really hard to communicate.」

“Libby talked a lot and started to feel tired.”

「I just think about the future.

And what are you worried about, it’s not that I will invite those people back again.

Don’t worry, I won’t.」

“Not only will he not, but Alex will no longer miss the days when he struggled with Luna and the others. ” 」

「 I hope so.

The most unbelievable person in this world is human beings.

You know you can only trust me.」

“What Libby said is actually right.

Human nature is the most terrifying.

People can do anything for their own desires.”

「 How could I not understand this truth.」

“Of course, Alex believed only in himself, because he couldn’t even trust this treacherous demon. ”

「Someone is coming, I’ll go back first.」

“Libby heard footsteps coming out of the kitchen, and it quickly disappeared in front of him.”

「Alex, you haven’t left yet.」

“Luke was obviously the last one to come out of the kitchen, and he seemed surprised that Alex was still here. ”

「Waiting for you, you are not too busy lately to relax.

It’s better to go there today, or if the restaurant gets busier in the future, there will be no way.」

“Originally, Alex wanted to wait for his way, so it’s no wonder that he has been at the counter all the time.”

「If you want to invite me, you can.」

“Of course Luke said yes, because he hadn’t been relaxed for several weeks. ”

「No problem.

We will go now.」

“Of course, Alex chose to go to the convenience store instead of the bar.

After all, it would be safer here.”

「 You are not taking me to the bar, why is it here?」

“Luke was obviously a little disappointed, but he was still looking forward to it, but he didn’t expect Alex to be so insincere. ”

「No, I hope you go home and rest.

Staying up late is not good for chefs.

You need to know that a good rest can motivate you to work.」

“Not only did Luke disagree, but he was worried that these disciples’ bodies would not be able to hold them.”

「But chef, we just want to use the kitchen all at once, not for long.

Besides, you are not saying that practice helps to improve one’s abilities.」

“Frank still wants to fight for it, after all, everyone wants to help the restaurant to a higher level. ”

「 Yeah, yes, I said this before.

But that is the time when one of you affects the guests.

This is not the situation it used to be.」

“Luke still didn’t want to retreat, and now these apprentices are keeping healthy is the first element.”

「Yes, chef, we understand.」

“Although Frank is disappointed, the chef’s words are always right, so he doesn’t want to resist. ”

「Now that you understand it, you guys start to prepare.

I go out for a while.」

“Luke saw that things were finally going in the direction he wanted, and he left with satisfaction.”

「Eric, would you like to use the pot.

If you don’t want it, let me first.」

“Frank and the others began to obediently chop the vegetables, even to prepare the vegetables and sauces. ”

「 Then you use it first.

I’m going to cut carrots and cabbage.」

“Eric is the least talkative chef among them.

Although he has communication difficulties, his cooking skills are pretty good.”

「Three hours passed, and soon passed again.」

“The outfield training has also ended.

After finishing their clothes, they will start business at nine o’clock. ”

「Now that the restaurant is on track now, how about we teach the old employees a lesson.」

“Libby obviously didn’t give up, and was still trying his best to make Alex change his mind.”

「How come you haven’t given up.

The restaurant is already very busy, and I don’t have time to send someone there to make trouble.」

“Alex didn’t want to make any more trouble, since Luna and the others didn’t come to find the ballast again, he thought it would be fine. ”

「Anyway, those old employees don’t miss their old feelings, so we don’t have to be patient anymore.」

“Libby doesn’t know why.

Recently, there has been an impulse to kill people.

It may be that he hasn’t eaten human souls for too long.”

「I just had too much time to deal with the opposite, and I didn’t have time to make other enemies.」

“Of course Alex did not agree, he was not bewitched by this demon. ”

名利跑馬燈〈回到正軌〉313利

不過還好餐廳並沒有受到露娜她們的影響，還是回到正軌，就因為如此，小文他就更加勤奮的訓練這些新員工。

每天至少都要訓練三個鐘頭以上，再加上訓話，員工們當然也都不能抱怨，畢竟餐廳的工作本來就是這個樣子。

「你們這樣就累了，那怎麼行。

要知道你們的基礎還要再加強。

尤其是莎拉，還有布魯你們可是這裡面動作最慢的。

不可以拖垮團隊，不然就是其他人一起連帶受罰。」

這天小文又在訓練擺西餐具的基礎，很顯然還是有兩人跟不上速度。

「是，經理，我們會注意。」

整個團隊就像個在軍中一樣，只差沒有稍息敬禮，氣氛也是很嚴肅沉重。

「Alex, it’s too hard for them.」

“As soon as Luke entered the shop, he could not help but express his sympathy when he saw that the people on the field were undergoing harsh training again.”

「No, I think it’s just right.

You have to know that the staff on the field are the hardest.

Not only do they have to order orders, but if they do not do well, they also have to face the difficulties of the guests.」

“Alex is very satisfied with this situation.

New employees just want to learn more. ”

「But they look so pitiful, at least let them rest.」

“Luke really couldn’t see it, and three more hours would be physically exhausting.”

「 What?

You don’t want to manage the outside field.

At the beginning, the two of us agreed that we could not control each other’s area.」

“Of course it is impossible for Alex to let Luke intervene.

After all, an agreement is an agreement, but it cannot be breached casually. ”

「As long as you are happy.」

“Luke knew that it was useless to say, because this was an agreement between them, and he couldn’t just break the agreement. ”

「哇，他們這麼勤勞。」

法蘭克他們是最後來的，不過還是有在規定的時間內準時過來。

「我看我們是不是應該也加強一下料理實力，免得被那些新員工比下去。」

洛里沒有想要同情外場的意思，反而被激起自己的勝負欲。

「我同意你說的，不如今天晚上我們幾個留下來。」

法蘭克一向都是裡面最努力的那個，可以提升自己的實力，那怎麼會不好，不過要先經過主廚的同意才可以。

「 You see, if it weren’t for a manager, it would be over.

If I say, those women shouldn’t let them in here.」

“When Libby poked his head out, it was already time to get off work, and there was no one in the field.”

「 When you want to come out later, you can speak up.

Every time he suddenly appeared from the side.」

“Alex is obviously not used to the way Libby plays, but it’s fortunate that there is no one else. ”

「No, you are not used to it yet.

And I, a demon, will come out whenever he wants to.」

“Libby usually comes out only when he is full.

He rarely comes out during the day.

It’s not that he can’t come out, but it’s easier to fall asleep during the day.”

「You a devil, what can I say.

Still talking about business, continue the topic just now.」

“Alex also wanted to know why Luna and the others behaved like this.

After all, they were once employees of their own, and they had feelings. ”

「Don’t your employees work in the restaurant next to the station?

I heard that their restaurant business seems to be bad, and they are now going downhill.」

“Libby seemed to have found something, otherwise it wouldn’t be so sure.”

「Really, I thought they would have a good time leaving our restaurant.

It seems that it is nothing more than that.」

“Alex sympathizes with Luna and the others, but even this way, he won’t get those employees back. ”

「Of course, if I were you, I would have solved them long ago.

Will not let them arrogant.」

“Libby always has only one idea in his heart, which is to kill everyone who interferes with him.”

「Fortunately, I am not you.

Besides, today I also had a smooth day.

They will not pose a threat to me.」

“Alex didn’t want to let his hands be stained with blood, that would make him look very sad. ”

「I don’t think we should discuss this topic.

You can’t listen anyway.」

“Libby knew it was impossible for Alex to listen to it, so it’s better not to waste time here.”

「Obviously you mentioned it yourself.

Forget it, your pasta is ready, but in the restaurant.

We better go back now.」

“Exactly what he wanted, Alex didn’t want to continue this topic anyway, because it would only be a meaningless argument. ”

「Then hurry up, what are you waiting for.」

“When it comes to food, Libby’s eyes are bright.

I really don’t know why he can eat the same pasta every day without getting tired.”

「 I need to lock the door with the key.」

“Alex did not stay in the store late that day, after all, people sometimes need to rest. ”

名利跑馬燈〈悔恨〉311利

「 路易斯他人呢，怎麼沒有看到。

你們知道他去哪裡了嗎？

現在都已經到下午一點，營業時間要開始了。

他到底在幹什麼。」

法蘭克氣沖沖的問著廚房的其他人，就因為路易斯還沒有備料，就落跑了。

「不知道。」

艾瑞克顯然也是搖搖頭，因為他還真沒有關心路易斯人在哪，畢竟現在備料比較重要。

「我剛剛看到他去員工休息室，肯定在那裡。

你去那裡找如何。」

洛里倒是知道路易斯的行蹤，再說廚房的人本來就要多注意一下，尤其是路易斯更是需要關心一下。

「謝了。

這次肯定要好好教訓他。」

法蘭克雖然心情還不是很好，但至少人已經找到了，要教訓也要等到下班以後。

「我是覺得，那些前輩根本比不上你們。

想當初她們剛來時，還不是什麼都不會。

不也是這樣子過來。」

路易斯顯然不知道已經大禍臨頭，還在繼續閒聊，不過他肯定不知道法蘭克就站在身後。

「路易斯，你很閒啊，竟然還有時間聊天。

馬上跟我回廚房，你備料都還沒準備好，就想要偷懶。

我看你是不想活了。」

法蘭克接著就是發了一頓脾氣，雖然這樣子對新來的員工很不好意思，但是沒辦法。

「走了，快點。

你沒事和她們講那個幹嘛。」

法蘭克似乎覺得路易斯的行為很不妥，因為搞不好老闆現在已經在悔恨不已，雖然也僅僅只是猜測。

「唉呀，我這不是滿足她們的好奇心。

再說露娜她們本來就是這樣走的。」

路易斯是一路被拖著離開的，就因為法蘭克怕他又跑回去，說一些有的沒有的，這樣子會破壞到店裡的氣氛。

「算了，現在先回去備料。

等等下班再和你算帳。」

法蘭克現在只希望能繼續維持早上的人氣，他才不願意路易斯來破壞。

「好嘛，知道了。

但是你先把我放開。

不然很丟臉。」

路易斯倒是受不了大家那異樣的眼光，大概是因為脖子邊的衣袖一直被法蘭克臉拉著。

名利跑馬燈〈留不住〉310利

路易斯剛好經過女生休息室，就聽到她們在討論很久以前的事情。

很顯然他也想要加入討論，腳步就往休息室這邊而來，雖然老闆他們不喜歡這種事情，不過只要不被他們聽到就好。

「 你們在討論這個啊。

我也可以加入討論嗎。」

路易斯本來就是個喜歡熱鬧的人，要不是老闆他們限制的話，再說誰會喜歡店裡的氣氛死氣沉沉的。

「好啊，前輩，你肯定還知道什麼內幕吧。

我們還想聽更多。」

莎拉當然是第一個贊成，畢竟是她挑起這個話題的，更要支持一下。

「 你們知道之前那些外場的人是怎麼走的嗎。

他們是趁著餐廳生意不好的時候離開。」

路易斯決定說出真正的原因，畢竟不能白白讓老闆他們受委屈。

「這麼說餐廳以前本來是沒有客人的。

那這也是廚房廚師會這麼少的原因。」

莎拉猜測廚師們會走，肯定也與餐廳沒辦法賺錢有信心。

「這是真的沒錯，不過當時的情況還真的沒辦法養20幾個員工。」

路易斯當然也能理解露娜她們，畢竟大家都是迫於生活所需，才不得已離開的。

「前輩你們幾個為什麼沒有離開。」

莎拉問出最敏感的問題，但同時也是造就餐廳恢復人氣的原因之一。

「這個是因為我們是主廚最疼愛的徒弟，再加上也不需要承擔養家的責任，所以選擇留下來。」

雖然露娜她們已經留不住，但總不能連廚房的人都一起走光，這樣老闆就太可憐了。

「 原來是這樣。

那前輩她們肯定是來鬧事的，因為看我們餐廳生意太好。」

莎拉下意識的就認為是這樣子，因為那些人的行為實在是太明顯。

「是嗎，沒有吧。

我記得她們餐廳生意很好，就在火車站旁邊。

你們沒去過。」

路易斯顯然不這麼認為，畢竟同事一場，為何要鬧的大家那麼尷尬。

名利跑馬燈〈令人難過〉309利

「小姐，這款酒類如何，正好搭配牛排。

2000年西拉紅酒，可以解牛肉的油膩味。」

服務生挑的倒是謹慎，就因為眼前的客人看起來不能得罪。

「嗯，還不錯。

看樣子小文有教你們一點酒類知識。」

露娜馬上就尷尬，她大概沒想到這裡的服務生都是已經學好一些基本的禮貌的，不然又怎麼會讓這些服務生錄取。

之後露娜她們走的時候，明顯是帶著悔恨的，明明是想要來羞辱這裡的服務生，誰知最後丟臉的卻是自己。

這一切倒是被櫃臺的艾力克斯都看到了，他也是沒想過露娜她們竟然是來看笑話的，不好好吃飯就算，竟然還來這裡羞辱人。

「Xiaowen, fortunately, you have taught them alcohol, and you will teach them more in the future.

It is best to remember all the alcohol.」

“Although Luna and their actions are very sad, Alex pays more attention to the current situation in the store.”

「Yes, boss.」

“On the one hand, Xiaowen is of course very happy.

He did not expect to have such results in only three hours in the morning.

It seems that the training of these employees will be strengthened in the future. ”

「你們聽說了嗎，早上那批鬧事的客人是餐廳之前的員工。」

才到中午而已，就有人受不了又開始八卦起來，可見是教訓的還不夠。

「真的，莎拉你可以確定。」

其他人顯然也是有興趣的，不過她們還是抱持著懷疑的態度，畢竟這種事不能隨便亂講。

「當然，拜託，這可是我向內場那些廚師打聽出來的。」

莎拉雖然長的很標緻，卻是裡面最愛說八卦的那種人，可以說她對八卦很敏感。

「那不就算是我們的前輩。

不過怎麼會鬧的那麼僵。」

女生們一群圍著一個小圈圈就在員工休息室，就差沒有關上門而已。

名利跑馬燈〈安逸〉308利

「 味道還不錯，就是缺少了什麼。」

露娜她們倒是很滿意，不過很快又提出了新的質疑，看樣子今天真的是來找麻煩。

「客人，有什麼可以為你服務。」

小文當然是畢恭畢敬的站在露娜旁邊，甚至還彎著腰，雖然這樣子腰會痠就是了，不過現在那不是重點。

「不不不，我不要你，我要他過來。」

有這種機會，露娜又怎麼可能會放過，當然是找一個對餐廳還不是很熟悉的人。

「是的，小姐，請問有什麼需要幫忙。」

男服務生感受到了經理正在示意著他過來，他當然是只能移步到這個客人身邊。

「我吃的是牛肉料理。

那麼請問要搭配什麼酒類，不如你來替我挑選一瓶。」

露娜馬上就出了難題，給新來的服務生。

很簡單，她就是要看這些人是否有能力勝任。

「 好的，客人，請等一下。」

男服務生沒有慌張，他不慌不忙的把水瓶放回櫃臺，準備要去酒窖中拿酒。

「Boss, let me take a look, otherwise I’m worried.」

“After Xiaowen finished speaking, he really planned to follow the man and go to the cellar together.”

「 Don’t go if you trust your subordinates.

Besides, this is also a test for him, you can’t always be by his side.」

“Although Alex did not hold it with his hand, he also warned Xiaowen not to mess around at this time. ”

「我記得經理有說過，紅酒配紅肉，白酒配白肉。

那麼如果肉是比較有韌性的，又該怎麼辦。」

男人顯然在酒類面前，一直躊躇不前的，因為選擇正確的酒類真的很重要。

「我看那個服務生大概是不行，都已經進去五分鐘，還沒有動靜。

新來的服務生也不過如此。」

一看就知道露娜她們的日子過的有多安逸，否則怎麼會閒到來這裡找麻煩。
