"Hello." Gu Xiaoyou greeted several people generously.

"Hello." Several people responded.

"It's not convenient to talk here, please go to other courtyards with me." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile, pushed open the courtyard door and made an invitation gesture: "Please come this way."

"Okay." Of course they had no objection and walked out of the backyard one after another.

"Go and call the other cooks and come to the backyard of the spicy restaurant." Gu Xiaoyou told the head waiter and led a few people to the backyard of the spicy restaurant.

Gu Xiaoyou moved chairs, asked a few of them to sit down, and said, "Has Li Ping told you about the situation in the shop?"

"I told you." Several people nodded.

"Now that I understand you, I won't waste any more words. Please introduce yourselves first."

Several people looked at each other, and the eldest one introduced him: "The younger one's name is Luo Mi, and he has been a cook for five years."

"When you call me my surname, my mother is my mother. My family and Ping'er are from the same hometown, and they are best at making pastries."

"The younger one's surname is Yu, and his name has one meaning. He is best at making pasta."

Several people were introduced one by one. Gu Xiaoyou listened and wrote down the names and characteristics of each person in a small notebook.

After they finished introducing themselves, in addition to the cook from the dining car, several other cooks arrived at the breakfast shop.

Gu Xiaoyou arranged for them to sit down in the pavilion and said to them: "I plan to open a shop next to the breakfast shop. Li Ping should have told you about this idea yesterday. Today is a test for the cooks in the shop.

Considering the similarities between the two shops, I invite you to come over and be the judges."

"Yes, boss." Several cooks listened carefully and nodded.

Li Ping raised her hand: "The slave family will not participate. They were all introduced by the slave family. The slave family should avoid suspicion."

"Okay, then let's invite some of you to the kitchen to cook one of your specialty dishes." Gu Xiaoyou took out a small hourglass from his sleeve: "It's only half an hour, please."

After saying that, Gu Xiaoyou turned over the hourglass, which meant that the timer started.

Several chefs who came for the interview quickly got up and ran to the kitchen to get busy.

When the cooks at the breakfast shop saw this, they instantly remembered the time when they came for the interview and couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Why are you laughing? Let's go and take a look." Gu Xiaoyou didn't understand their psychology and called them to the kitchen door to watch.

The cooks immediately followed, following Gu Xiaoyou at the door to look inside.

"You guys should watch carefully. I will be your colleague from now on. If you have any ideas, please put them forward in a timely manner."

"Yes." The cooks responded and looked into the kitchen more seriously.

The cooks introduced by Li Ping were a little panicked at first. After they figured out the items in the kitchen, they slowly calmed down and began to prepare the food they wanted to make.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at the door for a while, then felt a little sleepy and yawned: "You guys watch first, and call me when you're done."

"Okay, you can rest." Several cooks stared at the kitchen and said without looking back.

It was their first time interviewing people, so their interest was very high.

"It's really positive." Gu Xiaoyou sighed, pulled up the hood of his cloak, put it on, and sat down in the pavilion.

Only Li Ping was still in the pavilion, so she chatted with Gu Xiaoyou in the pavilion.

Gu Xiaoyou exchanged a few words with Li Ping at first, but as he listened to Li Ping's soft voice, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he unconsciously fell asleep in the pavilion with his chin in his hands.

Because she was wearing a hood, Li Ping couldn't see Gu Xiaoyou's face clearly and thought that Gu Xiaoyou had been listening to her.

Li Ping racked her brains, her mouth was dry, and she didn't get a response for a long time. She carefully went over and took a look, only to find that Gu Xiaoyou had fallen asleep long ago.

Li Ping took a sip of tea and found a few braziers, lit them, and lowered the curtains of the pavilion to protect her from the wind.

After making arrangements, Li Ping patiently drank tea in the pavilion and waited.

Half an hour later, the chefs all prepared their own special dishes and walked towards the pavilion with their finished products.

Li Ping rushed before they came over, gently shook Gu Xiaoyou's arm, and called in a low voice: "Boss, wake up, their dishes are ready."

"What kind of food?" Gu Xiaoyou was sleeping soundly. He heard Li Ping's words and opened his eyes in a daze.

"You asked for their specialty dishes." Li Ping replied in a low voice.

"Oh, right." Gu Xiaoyou suddenly came back to her senses after seeing the scene in front of her clearly. She was still in the interview.

"Take a sip of tea and wake up." Li Ping quickly handed a cup of strong tea to Gu Xiaoyou.

"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou took the tea cup and poured it into his stomach. The strong tea really refreshed the mind, but the taste was really bitter.

Gu Xiaoyou had never drunk such bitter tea before, and his originally confused head suddenly sobered up.

"Choke, it's really more bitter than black coffee." Gu Xiaoyou stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Li Ping didn't hear clearly and thought Gu Xiaoyou was talking to her.

"It's nothing, they will be here soon." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand, took a sip of water, and rinsed his mouth.

"Well, here we come." Li Ping looked over and saw that the cooks were coming over carrying dishes.

As several people got closer, the aroma of the dishes became more and more obvious.

The cooks at the breakfast shop returned to the pavilion first, each holding their bowls and chopsticks, and sat down in the pavilion in a decent manner.

The head chef thoughtfully brought Gu Xiaoyou bowls and chopsticks, and even prepared mouthwash for tasting the dishes.

"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou thanked him and sat upright.

The other chefs followed her and sat upright, pretending to be food judges.

When several cooks came over carrying dishes, they saw seven people, except Li Ping, sitting upright. Everyone had bowls, chopsticks and a glass of water in front of them, with expressions on their faces.

Very serious.

They had never seen such a battle before, they were all stunned in place while holding the dishes.

Li Ping covered her mouth and chuckled: "You all bring the dishes, and whoever eats the dishes will explain the reasons for cooking."

"Yes." The cooks responded and put the dishes on the table one by one in the order they just introduced themselves.

The seven food judges tasted the dishes and listened to their introductions, looking very serious.

After everyone had tasted their dishes, Gu Xiaoyou discussed with several cooks and finally left five people behind and signed a contract.

Gu Xiaoyou said to the unsuccessful chef: "It's a pity that we can't work together. It's not that your food is not good, it's just that it's not suitable for our store. Thank you for coming. This is your travel expenses. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again."
