The story of a cook

Chapter 181 Staff Arrangement
When I entered the kitchen in the morning, I cut off the power supply of the freezer.Open the freezer, take out all the raw materials inside, defrost the freezer first, wipe it clean after defrosting, and start to open and check the raw materials one by one. Put the raw materials that can still be used into the fresh-keeping box, divide them one by one according to different types, and put them back into the freezer.Some raw materials are not bad, but they can’t be sold to customers anymore. They are not fresh, and it’s okay to eat them by yourself. Put them together separately and eat them when you are preparing to make work meals.Such raw materials include long-cooked pork ribs, cooked chicken nuggets, cooked beef brisket, and cooked leg of lamb.There are still some that are already broken, just throw them away.

After tidying up the freezer and putting the raw materials in the fresh-keeping box back into the freezer, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. When the freezer was cleaned up, there were fifteen or six dishes. It seemed that there were only four or five tables of guests at noon. Business dismal.

Move the raw materials that have been packed out to make a work meal to the case, which is a full two large fresh-keeping boxes.

He said to Master Zhang: "Master Zhang, these ingredients are not bad, but they can't be made for customers. Let's eat it ourselves."

Master Zhang looked at the raw materials of the two big fresh-keeping boxes and said, "There are so many, when did you make them all?
I pointed to the master from Sichuan and said: "Then you have to ask this master, he should know, right master?" I said to the master.

The master looked at the raw materials of the two fresh-keeping boxes, and said naturally: "These raw materials are not damaged, and they can still be used." Then he said to me: "Aren't they not damaged?"

I pulled my face off and said, "You want to see that there are more bad trash cans than this."

He said: "The previous chopping boards are not good, and they can't keep the raw materials."

I asked: "The chopping board is not good, so is the master?"

He said confidently: "There is no master who is in charge of the raw materials, it is all about the chopping board, and has nothing to do with our master."

I looked at him and said, "Master, do you know a saying? It's called 'learn from anyone'. According to you, the chopping board was not good before, so the business was not good. Now the chopping board is good, and the business is good. Shouldn't it be fine?"

He looked at me for a long time, and the expression on my face gradually changed from a smile to a cold one.

I'm starting to get angry.

Master Zhang came over and said, "I make half for lunch and half for dinner, and give it to everyone."

I saw that Master Zhang didn't speak, and went straight out of the kitchen, standing outside, lighting a cigarette and smoking.

To be honest, I wanted to beat up that chef just now. Such a chef just has no cooking ethics, no matter how good his skills are, he can't use it.An unvirtuous person has negative energy everywhere, complains, hates, and says some irresponsible words. Over time, the entire team will be infected. At that time, it will be difficult to start a business.

Negative energy spreads much faster than positive energy in a team. It infects people like a plague, and the infected people will become negative and complain all over the place.

Attitude is everything, this sentence is true.

A person who hates and complains all day long has a bad state of mind, and a bad state of mind can’t get better. The state determines a person’s attitude. If there is no good state, there will be no good attitude.No good attitude, what good life, good work, good life!
It's just that I don't know, and I'm deceiving myself and others.

There are three kinds of people in life who don’t pay: those who don’t respect their parents don’t pay; those who have a bad mentality don’t pay;

The parents who gave birth to you and raised you are not filial, such a person can't get his approval, even if the approval is fake, don't hand it over;

A person with a bad mentality means that his intentions are not correct, and he cannot be of the same kind as others;
Not enough virtue, bad conduct, this is a villain, stay away from it.

Standing outside smoking a cigarette, I saw Quanjude and Meiyuan City on the opposite side, and heard from Huang Ping that they would also be demolished and turned into green spaces and squares for ordinary people to relax and entertain.It seems that the sky is about to change. The government is paying more and more attention to the lives of the people and benefiting the people.

The elder brother who repaired the bicycle saw me and greeted me with a smile.

The elder brother said, "Tan Zi is back."

I said, "I'm back."

The elder brother said: "The business of your family is not good now, it is far worse than before."

I said, "Yes, it's far away, and it's like no business."

The elder brother said: "Those couple don't know much about restaurants, they've been doing it for a year, and they probably have to lose money."

I said, "This is really not clear."

At this time, a man of 28 or 1.8 came over. He was quite tall, about [-] meters three, with a dark face and very handsome.

Walked up to me and asked, "Are you Master Tan?"

I looked at him, and remembered calling Wang Xiaodong in the morning to introduce a chef, so I said, "Well, it's me."

He said, "I was introduced by Wang Xiaodong. He said that you lack a chef here."

I stretched out my hand, shook his hand and said, "Hello, hello, I need a chef." Then I asked, "What's your name?"

He said: "Miangui's surname is Li, Li Changqing."

I said: "Master Li, good, good." Then I handed him a cigarette.

Master Li took the cigarette and put it on, and said to me: "This is an old shop. I used to drive by here for more than ten years."

I said, "Yes, it's been about ten years."

Master Li asked: "Why is there still a shortage of chefs? There should be no shortage of chefs in the old shop."

I smiled and said, "Whether it's missing or not, just change it. I'll show you to the kitchen first, and then we can talk."

He led Master Li into the kitchen and walked around, relying on tidying up in the morning, otherwise no one would want to do it after seeing the current situation of the kitchen.After reading it, I came out with Master Li, and I stood outside and said, "Master Li, let me tell you about the current situation of our kitchen. It is like this, our restaurant was rented out before, and the person who rented it did not work for a year. Yes, our boss has just taken back the restaurant and continues to work on his own. The people in the kitchen are all left over from the previous restaurant, so now I want to change, so I found you. I heard from Xiaodong that your products are very good, and I didn’t say anything about your character. , You also read the kitchen, if you think it’s okay, you can do it here, if you don’t think it’s suitable, it’s okay to quit, we will still be friends in the future.”

Master Li said: "The kitchen is okay. I'm a straight person. We come out to work to make money. May I ask how much the salary is?"

I said, "Well, Master Li, tell me how much you want."

Master Li said: "Not much, one thousand and eight."

I said, "Okay, no problem, one thousand and eight is absolutely fine."

Master Li asked: "We don't deposit wages, do we?"

I said, "No. 15 wages are paid every month, no deposit, you can rest assured, I will not owe you wages here."

Master Li said: "Then it's all right, when will you come to work? Do you want to try the dishes?"

I said, "No need to try the dishes. Don't worry about Xiaodong's introduction. I believe it." Then I said, "There is one more thing I have to explain to you in advance. It was introduced by a friend, so I have to tell you."

Master Li asked: "What's the matter? Tell me."

I said, "Our hotel is estimated to be relocated in about four months, so here we will be demolished. Think about it, don't let the hotel relocate and quit at that time, and you blame me for not telling you in advance when we are laid off."

Master Li thought for a while and said, "You've already said that, there's nothing wrong with it, Master Tan, it's okay, I'll do it."

I said, "Master Li, you seem to be a straightforward person. If so, you can come to work directly tomorrow. If you have a suitable cutting board, you can also bring one. You can also bring your own cutting board to work."

Master Li smiled and said: "I just wanted to tell you, I happen to have a cutting board here, and I have been working with me for several years. .”

I said, "Then you bring him over to work together tomorrow."

After talking with Master Li here, it was time for lunch. Master Li went back to prepare, and I went into the kitchen to have a look.The work meal is ready and brought to the front. The waiters are very happy to see that the work meal has improved, with more meat and less vegetables, and it tastes delicious.

A waiter surnamed Feng said: "It's been almost three months since I came here, and it's the first time I eat these meats."

I said, "I cleaned up the freezer today. They are all leftovers from before. They can't be sold anymore, so everyone will eat them."

The Sichuan chef said: "Actually, it's not broken, it can be sold."

I looked at him and said, "Well, I'll give you a [-]% discount on this dish today, and if I sell it to you, we'll all get it."

He saw that I was silent and started to eat.

There are not many customers at night, not busy.After the meal, I continued to clean up. This time, I mainly cleaned up the floor, passage, stove, dishwashing room, and pastry room.

Master Zhang and that master continued to clean up the stove. I told Master Zhang that the ground must be cleaned up and the pedals should be thrown away.

The chopping board cleaned up the case and the ground, and I went to clean up the pastry room.

Before cleaning up, I yelled: "Whoever has personal belongings in the pastry room, take them all away within 5 minutes. I will clean them up. If you don't take them away, they will be thrown away as garbage!"

The chef and the chopping board went to get things from the pastry shop, and the sister who washed the dishes also went to get things. After they took away their things, I started to go in and clean them up.

Seeing that the hot and cold dishes are being cleaned up, the sister who washes the dishes also starts to clean up the dishwashing room.By nine o'clock, it was almost cleaned up. The entire kitchen was cleaned up, and the rest were some corners and details. From now on, just keep cleaning it every day.

The chef's walls still haven't been wiped clean, it looks a bit like a dog ate it, and his face is painted piece by piece. I didn't say anything after looking at it.

Master Zhang told me that the chopping board was the master’s brother-in-law. I laughed when I heard that, and I felt sad for the chopping board, and also for the chopping board’s sister. I hope that the master can change himself in the future, so that it will be better.

In the evening, I had a private talk with Master Zhang.

I said: "Master Zhang, you have been here for a few days. You know better than me what our family is like. Now the business is not good. What do you think we should do to make things better?"

Master Zhang said: "Master Tan, you can see that, you asked me to be a chef. I was asked to be the head chef because the boss didn't find a suitable one before, and the boss quit a few days ago. Then he said: "When I came here, I applied for stir-fry and cooking Sichuan cuisine. I'm not the head chef, and I can't manage people, so don't take me as the head chef."

"Master Zhang is too far away. You are still the head chef. What you did before is still what you are now." I said, "But Master Zhang, you cook Sichuan cuisine really well. I have to learn from you."

Master Zhang smiled embarrassedly, and said: "My dishes are just average, Master Tan is just joking."

I said: "No kidding, just do what you want, good is good, craftsmanship can't fool anyone, we are all chefs, you can tell at a glance whether it is good or not, Master Zhang, you definitely didn't say anything about your dishes. this."

After finishing speaking, he gave him a thumbs up.

Master Zhang shook his head in embarrassment, but said nothing.

I said: "Master Zhang, you are still the head chef in the kitchen. I am here to assist you and focus on you. There is no need to dismiss the master and the cutting board. Tomorrow, a master and the cutting board will come over. When the time comes, you will work together and cooperate well. The cold dish master Wang will continue to work here, do you think this arrangement will work?"

Master Zhang said: "Okay, this is very good, that master should have been used long ago, and his brother-in-law, who doesn't work hard every day, such people cannot be used."

I asked: "Master Zhang, you can see it too, so why didn't you change them?"

Master Zhang said: "I've only been here for a few days, and besides, I'm all from Sichuan, fellow villagers, so I'm sorry, I can get by as long as I can."

I said: "Sometimes I even get involved with myself because of embarrassment, and my fellow villagers have tears in their eyes."

After arranging the kitchen affairs, think about whether there is anything missing or unexpected, and feel that there is nothing missing, and then plan to call Huang Ping and tell her about the kitchen affairs.

It happened that she came over and told her directly about the arrangement of the kitchen.

After hearing this, Huang Ping said: "Okay, Tanzi, just do as you say. I'm not always in the restaurant. You can make arrangements for the back kitchen. I can't arrange it well either. I'll call the factory accountant over tomorrow morning, and directly Forget about paying the master and his brother-in-law, tell them to leave, and you can settle the rest."

In two days, it can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the kitchen, and the rest will be done slowly, not in a hurry.
