Chapter 704: Liu Baijiushiji teaches double kitchen.

It wasn’t until Gu Chen came over and patted her on the shoulder that she snapped back to reality in an instant.

"Boss! You! When did you get here!" Xiao Fang, seemingly startled by the sudden appearance of Gu Chen, appeared a bit disoriented.

At this moment, Gu Chen asked her with a smile, "What are you thinking about? You were so engrossed that you didn’t even notice me arriving."

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, Xiao Fang immediately felt very embarrassed.

"No, I wasn’t thinking about anything, just about you, boss."

Xiao Fang said this to Gu Chen directly.

Gu Chen had planned to tease her a little, but he was momentarily at a loss for words after her sudden comment.

"I just came over to teach you a new dish. We’ve added a new dish to the menu, and Xiao Ping is also practicing it. I’ll teach it to you to see if you can make it."

Since he didn’t know what to say, Gu Chen simply skipped the chitchat and directly asked her to start trying to learn the new dish.

Upon hearing that she was about to start making the new dish, Xiao Fang immediately became very nervous.

"Boss, I don’t think I can do it. I still haven’t figured out the old dishes yet, is it too risky to let me try new ones now?"

At that moment, she felt a profound lack of confidence in herself, believing she was totally unfit for the job.

Gu Chen directly said to her, "That attitude won’t do. You should choose to believe in yourself.

Though this dish does indeed have some difficulty, you can give it a try first, and if it doesn’t work out, you don’t have to make it."

When they were in the dormitory, Gu Chen brought the ingredients with him to the kitchen.

Once they were in the kitchen, Gu Chen began to show Xiao Fang how to make this dish, the cola chicken wings.

As soon as Xiao Fang saw that Gu Chen was making a meat dish, she immediately became very nervous.

For her, the complexity of meat dishes was quite high.

Because meat dishes require a lot of attention to detail, such as removing the gamey taste and enhancing the flavor.

Every meat dish has its own inherent flavor, and when making one, you cannot allow this flavor to spread too significantly. In contrast, with vegetable dishes, it’s quite the opposite.

Vegetables can actually retain these aromas.

And vegetables with fragrant aromas tend to taste better when eaten.

"This dish is called cola chicken wings. The main ingredients are only two: cola and chicken wings."

After Gu Chen finished explaining, she paused for a moment.

"Cola chicken wings? Boss, if I remember correctly, isn’t cola supposed to be a drink?"

She was a bit baffled and slow to react.

She found it very strange, how could a drink and chicken wings possibly turn into a dish?

Inside, her thoughts were full of wonder and confusion.

"The new dish was tested at the old restaurant today during the day, and the customers’ feedback was quite good. I think this dish can also be introduced to our new restaurant, and my plan is to ensure that from now on, both the new and the old restaurant’s menus must be identical," Gu Chen explained to her.

After hearing this, she nodded heavily, clearly having no objections to such a major decision, and it wouldn’t have made any difference if she had raised any.

In the following twenty minutes, Gu Chen prepared a plate of these genuine cola chicken wings.

When Xiao Fang saw the cola chicken wings, she was stunned.

She hadn’t expected the cola chicken wings to look so unappealing.

It could be said that within all of Gu Chen’s dishes, this was definitely the ugliest one.

It looked utterly unappetizing, with blackness clinging to the chicken wings, as if they were burnt to a crisp.

"Just have a little taste,"

Gu Chen said to Xiao Fang.

Although Xiao Fang was highly skeptical of the dish, after all, it was made by Gu Chen, so at that moment she still picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

The moment the meat touched her tongue, it was as if she suddenly understood.

"Boss, these chicken wings are just too delicious, crispy and sticky, with just a hint of sweetness, but the sweetness is just right, not overpowering to the point of being greasy,"

Xiao Fang couldn’t stop praising the cola chicken wings. She had been doubtful before she came, but now she had no doubt about Gu Chen’s abilities.

At that time, her face bore only two words: bliss.

She had never tasted such delicious cola chicken wings,

which exceeded her understanding of what chicken wings could be, and of course, the credit went to Gu Chen.

She never expected that Gu Chen, just by casually making this dish, could create something so novel.

She had eaten out for many years and had never tasted anything as delicious as this. Maybe it was because of the cola chicken wings, or perhaps her impression of Gu Chen had long since changed, so now her gaze toward Gu Chen was different.

It developed a faint, distinct hint of ambiguity.

"Boss, if these chicken wings are so delicious, can I learn to make them? What if I fail and ruin your reputation?"

Xiao Fang was worried at that time. She feared she wouldn’t do well and tarnish Gu Chen’s fame, especially when, in these circumstances, reputation was the most important thing, and the signboard of Qiwei Vegetarian had been a prominent one in the area.

If she were to ruin such a good reputation, she felt as if she would die of regret.

"Give it a try, how will you know unless you try?"

Gu Chen encouraged her with these words.

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s encouragement, she felt as though she had regained her confidence.

Although she was still somewhat nervous, since Gu Chen had asked her to give it a try, she felt she could indeed give it a shot.

Perhaps after trying, there could be an unexpected result.

And so, with a heart full of trepidation, she began to try.

"Don’t rush, take it step by step,"

Gu Chen said to her in a soft and gentle voice.

She nodded and started to tentatively try.

Like Xiao Ping, Xiao Fang was very serious.

For her, being able to cook a dish well was very important.

Most importantly, she didn’t want to disappoint Gu Chen, especially after seeing the serious look in his eyes.

So, at this moment, she was exceptionally diligent.

And Gu Chen just watched silently beside her, without any rush or urgency.

Finally, after various attempts, a plate of cola chicken wings was made.

After finishing, she saw Gu Chen take a glance and noticed that it seemed not bad at all.

It appeared she learned even faster than Xiao Ping.

"Boss, take a taste and see how I did,"

she said to Gu Chen, blinking at that moment.
