The story of a cook

Chapter 325 First Arrive at Linjiangxuan

Master called and asked me to go to "Linjiangxuan" with him tomorrow.

On the second day, I set off from home early.

Linjiangxuan Dumpling Restaurant is located at Dadongmen, and it takes an hour to get there by bicycle.When I arrived, Master had already arrived and led me in directly.

Linjiangxuan Dumpling Restaurant has seven floors, the first, second, and third floors are catering, the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are guest rooms, and the seventh floor is a greenhouse and maintenance room.Master and I went directly to room 612 on the sixth floor. There were three beds in the room, and a man about the same age as Master was sitting on the sofa beside the bed.

The master introduced, "Tan Zi, this is the third boss of our family, and your name is Uncle Shi."

I bowed to the third boss and opened my mouth to say, "Hi, Uncle Master!"

The third boss hurriedly said: "Okay, call me Shishu. I didn't prepare a greeting ceremony when we met for the first time. I'm a little embarrassed."

The master said: "If you don't prepare the meeting ceremony, I will make it up later. You big boss is still short of a meeting ceremony."

"Brother is just kidding, what do I call a big boss." The third boss said: "Okay, I will remember it and make it up tomorrow."

"You use it, uncle." I said.

"Why don't you use it? My old Huang's apprentice is worthless. If we don't give a meeting gift tomorrow, we will leave, and don't give him any trouble." Master said.

It seems that Master and the third boss have a good relationship.

The third boss said: "Little Tan, you don't know. Your master is amazing. Most people can't invite you. I have already asked your master to check the dishes and help me. Your master has never agreed. Tell me to help me." It’s just fishing. This year it’s really impossible, I went to his house to invite him and he came, otherwise he wouldn’t come.”

The master said: "I quit a long time ago, what else do I do at my age."

The third boss said: "I know that you have quit a long time ago. Isn't it just that I lack a master chef to check the dishes? You also know that our family cooks old Liaolu dishes. Now these young cooks can't do it well. Why don't you cook?" Don't study hard, act as if you are so good, the dishes you cook are nothing, I can't do anything about it, just discuss with my second brother and boss, just think about it and invite your brother out of the mountain, let's go to the provincial capital There is no one who is good at cooking, so I have nothing to fear with your old brother sitting here."

The master said: "I can't do it now, I can't catch up with the practice, and I can't know some popular dishes in social restaurants. I have to learn from young cooks."

The third boss said: "Brother is humble, I don't know you as an old craftsman. If you say that you are the most rigorous in cooking, I will obey you. I will not accept the rest of them. Don't look at what they are now. Director and chairman of the Catering Association, it’s all nonsense, you didn’t go, once you go, they will be like a mouse seeing a cat, Ma Paoer.”

The master smiled and said: "They are all old buddies too. I can't go with them all the time, and I don't want to participate. I don't want to go fishing. If I have the leisure time, I still go fishing."

After speaking, the two laughed together.

The third boss said: "Brother like this, let me show you to the kitchen first."

The master said, "Okay, let's go to the kitchen first."

Come down from the sixth floor and go to the first floor first.

The front hall on the first floor is full of scattered tables. To the south is the open kitchen. From the right hand side, there are cold dishes, noodles, and casserole stalls.The noodle stall for cold dishes is at the outermost, and a middle-aged woman is making noodle.

Linjiangxuan's facelift is very famous in the provincial capital, and it is said that it can sell more than 200 copies a day.Seeing people making facelifts on the spot, it should be possible to sell more than 200 copies a day.

There are five people in the cold dish group, and the supervisor is a young man in his thirties, very clean and handsome, named Liu Liang.

Seeing the third boss and us coming, Liu Liang said to the third boss: "Come here, uncle."

The third boss nodded.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Master Huang, our newly hired production director."

Liu Liang nodded to his master and said, "Master Huang is good."

Master nodded.

Next to the cold dishes is the pastry operation room.

Linjiangxuan's pastry is the same - dumplings.

The operating room is very large, with a total of eighteen people in it. Some make dumplings, some boil dumplings, some steam dumplings, some fry dumplings, some make noodles, and some mix stuffing. The pastry team leader is a thin and tall man The man is Master He Ding, and his name is Li Dashan.

Li Dashan is also called the uncle of the third boss.

There are two people in the casserole stall, and there are eight types of casserole. The person in charge of the casserole is a young man named Dajun, a very simple and honest person.

The hot food kitchen is on the second floor.

The second floor is very large, with elegant seats in the front and some scattered terraces. The layout is quite good, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, giving people a very comfortable feeling.At the back is the kitchen. There are eight sets of stoves in the kitchen, and eight chefs are cooking.

When we reached the second floor, the head chef happened to be there. The head chef is a middle-aged man in his 40s, very elegant. He doesn't look like a chef, but a bit of a literati.

The third boss introduced Master to the head chef, and the head chef shook hands with Master very enthusiastically, but I always felt that the head chef was a little too enthusiastic and hypocritical.If you think about it, if the master doesn't come, then the chef will have the final say in the kitchen. Now that the master is here, he doesn't care a little bit, and he doesn't want to make sure.

After seeing the hot food kitchen on the second floor, we came to the third floor.The third floor is full of private rooms, with a corridor in the middle, and an empty room at the end of the corridor, covering more than 80 square meters.

Entering the empty room, the third boss said: "Brother, we have private rooms on the third floor. Most of the guests who eat in the private rooms are dignified. Sometimes senior officials and the mayor also come to treat guests. Our dumplings There is nothing wrong with it. The cold dishes are acceptable, but the hot dishes are not good. The last time the deputy mayor invited Taiwanese businessmen to come over for dinner, he said that our food is not delicious and not authentic. I want to open a separate hot dish on the third floor In the kitchen, choose two good chefs from the current chefs, and you can give directions to them individually, and cook for the private room, what do you think?"

The master looked at the empty room and said, "You've decided what I'm going to say, fine, but the chef must be Xiao Tanzi, don't underestimate him, he is the first head chef of Laohan Villa."

The third boss was a little surprised.

"Really? It's the old man's villa in Santaizi?"

"Well, that's the one," I said.

"I went there when it opened, and the food was pretty good. Are you the head chef there?"

"Yes."

The third boss began to look at me with admiration and said: "I didn't expect to invite you here. I was thinking about asking my chef to study with you. Hehe, what's the matter, are you not working there now?"

"Isn't this SARS? The business is not very good. The boss sold the villa, and now it's a kindergarten." I said.

The third boss was a little regretful, and said: "It's a pity that it has been exchanged. I don't know. If you know what to say, you can buy it. The place is so good and the layout is good. If we open a branch in Linjiangxuan there, the business will be guaranteed." Well, it’s still next to the aircraft factory, unfortunately, I don’t know.”

I found that the third boss has a very unique vision, yes, if Linjiangxuan opens a branch there, the business must be very hot.

After seeing the whole kitchen, the third boss led me and Master to the front hall and met with the front office manager.

The front office manager is a woman in her 40s, average in appearance but very capable, her surname is Guo.

After meeting the front office manager, I went back to the sixth floor. In the corridor on the sixth floor, the third boss pointed to the first room and said, "This is the chairman's office. The fourth child of my family belongs to her. Now she is the chairman. She is not at home. As for Japan, come back in two months."

Then he pointed to the room next to the chairman's office and said, "This is our financial office."

After speaking, he opened the door, and there was a woman about 50 years old inside.

The third boss introduced: "Accountant Wang, this is the new production director, Mr. Huang."

"Brother, this is our Accountant Wang."

Master nodded to Accountant Wang, as a greeting.

Going forward is the conference room. The third boss said that there will be a weekly meeting of middle-level and above management staff at the meeting. Now the second boss is hosting the meeting. The big boss is hardly there because the big boss holds an important position in the government department and it is inconvenient to attend. .The third boss didn't participate very much, he was mainly responsible for external development matters, and sometimes rarely participated in the hotel's internal detail management.

Then went to the seventh floor.As soon as you enter the seventh floor, there is a banquet hall first. The third boss said that this banquet hall is mainly for internal preparations. Sometimes staff gatherings or internal staff meetings are held here, and it is rarely open to the public, unless there is no room for wedding reservations. just here.

Out of the banquet hall is the greenhouse, where a gardener is tending the flowers and plants.After the greenhouse is the maintenance room, where a 40-year-old master is repairing chairs. When he saw us coming over and putting down his work, he said to the third boss, "Come here, Mr. Mu."

The third boss nodded.
