The story of a cook

Chapter 349 You have to practice
After coming out of the office, the kitchen is already off work, so I went to the kitchen to check around.

When I came to the kitchen on the second floor, Master Zhao, who made smoked pickles at night, and the third brother-in-law of the third boss were working in the kitchen.Went over to chat with them for a while.

"Hello Master Uncle Zhao! Hello Third Uncle!" I greeted him.

Uncle Zhao laughed, looking like a Maitreya Buddha statue.

"Haven't you returned yet?"

"No, it's a meeting." I said.

"Have a meeting with Mr. Huo? What are you studying again?" The third uncle asked, looking like he was inquisitive.

I smiled and said, "I didn't study anything, third uncle, the crispy crucian carp you made yesterday is not enough to sell today."

"Isn't there enough to sell? Today is the same as yesterday's ones, tomorrow's ones, two more tomorrow."

When he heard that the crispy crucian carp was not enough to sell, San Shu had a smile on his face, which proved that the crispy crucian carp he made was delicious.

Master Zhao said: "Old man, what did I say? You just think it's troublesome to clean up crucian carp. You have to drive less. It's not enough to sell. Xiao Tanzi is saving face for you and didn't say that you prepared less. I don’t know Jing’er, do you really think that you cook delicious food?”

Master Zhao directly exposed the truth about the third uncle, and the third uncle was a little bit uneasy, and the old man blushed.But he didn't dare to refute Master Zhao, because Master Zhao taught him all his skills, and he wouldn't know anything if Master Zhao didn't take him with him.

"Uncle Zhao, does our barbecued pork belong to our Northeast recipe?" I asked Master Zhao.

"Yes, our barbecued pork is made in the Northeast." Master Zhao said: "For the barbecued pork, there are Cantonese barbecued pork and our Northeast barbecued pork. The Cantonese barbecued pork is pork belly, and our Northeast barbecued pork is pork belly. The method is also a little different, Cantonese cuisine has a big sweet mouth, with a slight oyster taste, while our Northeast barbecued pork is purely produced, which belongs to the honey sauce flavor."

"Uncle, is barbecued pork a kind of practice?" I asked.

"Well, it's a kind of method. It's similar to honey sauce. Our Northeast cuisine uses less, and Cantonese cuisine uses more." Master Zhao introduced: "Cantonese people like to eat barbecued pork buns, which are made with barbecued pork. The meat is cut into small cubes and made into stuffing, and then wrapped into buns."

I nodded.

"Is your master still running home every day?" Master Zhao asked.

"Well, I run home every day." I replied.

"Your master is in good shape, and I haven't looked at him for a week."

"My master is very tired now. He goes home after dinner every night. He is getting old and can't rely on it every day."

"Yes, I'm old and not as young as you." Master Zhao said, "I'm almost [-] now, and I can't do it anymore. I can't survive if I work more because of the lack of work now."

"Old Zhao, you are alright. I think your physique is better than mine." The third uncle said.

"You mean I have a better physique than you, so I should do more than you." Master Zhao said.

"Then how can it be? You can't let the master work."

The third uncle said awkwardly, and then went to the pool to clean up the crucian carp.

"I just heard yesterday that you proposed the salary increase this time." Master Zhao said.

"That's not true. I don't have that much effort. The salary increase is the boss's intention." I said.

"The salary increase is a good thing, and everyone is talking about you." Master Zhao said, "But tell me, my nephew, his family's work is not easy, and the four bosses are not of the same mind. They all plan for themselves and go to the restaurant. Try to arrange your own relatives, you are now the head chef, that is, a listed one, you can’t control anyone, you can just talk about some things that you can’t see, don’t take it seriously.”

I nodded and said, "Well, that's what happened."

"Also, don't fire anyone. Everyone here has roots, so they can't be moved easily."

I nodded in approval.

"It's easy to be the head chef here, just remember not to offend anyone." After speaking, Master Zhao smiled.

I chatted with Master Zhao for a while, then came out of the kitchen, checked the fire records and duty records, and changed my clothes to go home after seeing that there was nothing wrong.

Zhang Li had already changed and stood in the lobby on the first floor, along with Li Shuang.

"Why haven't you two left yet?" I asked them both.

"Waiting for you." Zhang Li said.

"Wait for me?" I said, "What's wrong, you two are not staying in the dormitory today, are you planning to go back to Santaizi?"

"Yes, go back and get the down jacket." Li Shuang said.

"That means I can take a ride again today." I said.

"Take a ride and treat us to dinner when we get home," Zhang Li said.

"Then I don't sit anymore. I would rather go back by bicycle and exercise."

Zhang Li curled her lips, "Rushing is not a business, so you can go back by bicycle." After speaking, she turned around and called Li Shuang to go out.

Li Shuang followed with a smile.

In the car, I asked the two of them where Zheng Jiaqi was. Li Shuang said that Zheng Jiaqi was going home today, and when he was leaving, he happened to meet Mr. Huo.

I asked, "Are the two of them on the way?"

Li Shuang said, "By the way, all go to the CPPCC."

Zhang Li said: "We don't have that life. Why can Mr. Huo's family live in three houses?"

"You should say why Linjiangxuan doesn't open in Santaizi, it would be fine in Santaizi." I said.

"What's the point of opening in Santaizi?" Zhang Li said, and then asked me: "Old Tan, why do I feel that I'm not doing well here?"

"I also have this feeling." Li Shuang said.

"Really?" I said, "I think too much. I think about what to do. We can do it every day. When we stop doing it, we will withdraw. No one can work in one place for a lifetime."

"I always feel that I don't know what to do here--" Zhang Li said.

"Just drink some wine, and a day counts as a day, I don't want so much." Li Shuang said.

"Yes, it's useless to think about those things." Zhang Li said, "Old Tan, drink some wine today, but I didn't eat dinner after the meeting."

Then she added another sentence.

"I invite you."

It's true that the two of them have a bit of a disagreement, and it's the same for me who have been working here for almost half a year.

Now that the chairman has gone to Japan, the third boss can come once a week. I don’t know what he is busy with. At first, I heard from the master that the third boss is looking for a place to open a new store, but now there is no movement.Although the big boss and the second boss don't participate in the management and don't come to the restaurant, if the restaurant does something, they still need their consent, and if they don't agree, it can't be done.

Mr. Huo is now the general manager and directly manages the hotel, but it can be seen that he has no real power, and he still has to listen to the chairman for many things.Take the innovative dishes studied today as an example. He also has to report to the chairman. If the chairman disagrees, he can't make it.

It gives me the feeling that Mr. Huo is very afraid of the chairman.

Mr. Huo and the chairman have a daughter who is now studying in the United States.The second boss, the third boss, and the big boss all have one daughter and one person, which means that none of the four brothers have any sons.

There is no son in such a large family business, and it seems that there is no heir.

This may be the main reason why they have no intention to develop.

It was eleven o'clock when we arrived at Santaizi, so we went directly to Laoba BBQ restaurant in the big market to eat barbecue, and his home was still open at this time.

While drinking, Zhang Li said: "Old Tan, I think the point management you mentioned today is very good, but it is a bit too laborious."

"That was an idea of ​​mine," I said.

"But it's fine."

"It needs to be perfected. I want to experiment in Linjiangxuan, but the premise is that I have to make the most basic."

"What do you mean by the basis?" Zhang Li asked.

"Standards, all kinds of standards," I said.

"What are you two talking about?" Li Shuang asked.

"We are talking about management. Lao Tan proposed a point management method today, which I think is very good." Zhang Li said.

"What point management?" Li Shuang asked me.

"It's just an idea. It hasn't taken shape yet. I'll let you know when it takes shape." I said.

"You guys study it, I can't do it, I'll carry it out after you study it, it's fine for me to carry it out." Li Shuang said.

I looked at Li Shuang and felt that Li Shuang's temperament is very suitable to be a host, so I asked her: "Sister Shuang, can you be a host?"

"Host? What host?" Li Shuang was taken aback.

"The host is the host. For example, our employees hold a party, or a birthday party, or a cooking competition." I said.

"I can't." Li Shuang shook his head straight after hearing what I said, "Look at my vernacular, I can't be the host, I can't speak."

"Do you want her to host the innovative dishes meeting?" Zhang Li asked.

"That's what it means." I said.

"What dish innovation meeting?" Li Shuang asked.

"We plan to hold a chef's innovative dish competition on the 26th of this month. Chefs from both our restaurants will participate. I want you to host it then." I said.

"I can't do it, I don't know anything about food, so tell me to eat." Li Shuang said.

"Does your front desk hold regular meetings every day?" I asked Zhang Li.

"Open, open every day." Zhang Li said.

"Are you the host?"

"Well, it's all me."

"Your name is Li Shuang, practice too."

Zhang Li looked at Li Shuang, "I have to ask her to practice, and Jia Qi has to practice too."

"I don't practice, just ask me to do some work." Li Shuang waved his hand.

I said to Li Shuang: "You have to practice, it will be good for you."
