The story of a cook

Chapter 478 Busy Morning

Have a regular meeting in the morning.

Master Du first called the roll call, and after the roll call, I came to the front of the line.

"Stand at attention—" I yelled loudly.

"Shua—" Everyone stood at attention.

"All are there, listen to the password, turn left—turn!"

"Shh-"

All turned to the left. Two dumpling workers turned in the wrong direction and faced each other. They immediately changed to make the people around them laugh.

"turn right!"

"Shh-"

Everyone turned back.

I said loudly: "Life is full of flavors, and life continues with a smile! Good morning everyone!"

Then there is a ninety-degree bow.

"Good! Very good! Very good!!" Everyone said loudly in unison.

"Now it's time for our regular meeting. Before the regular meeting, let's meet with Master Yang. Master Yang, go to the cold vegetable room, go to the second floor of the vegetable shelf, and bring the box of shredded seaweed intact." I said.

Lao Yang went to the cold dish room to get the box of kelp shreds.

The cold dish Li Mingjuan looked puzzled, so did Meng Hongwei, and the younger brother was also confused.

I said: "Three things were discussed in today's regular meeting. The first thing is that the guests in the [-] private room on the second floor yesterday reported that our 'iron pot and dish fish head' is very delicious, and it has never been so good in Binhai. The dish of fish head is eaten. The praise of the guests on the dishes is the affirmation of our work and technology, and everyone gives a warm applause to our fish stew master Li Tao!"

Everyone applauded, and some people raised their feet to look at the stewed fish master.

"Recently, our dishes have been well received by customers. This is inseparable from everyone's hard work. Now there is a good phenomenon in our family. There are fewer people going out to smoke, and more people studying the dishes, including our chopping board. Everyone is standing at attention, don't be stingy with your own applause, give yourself an encouragement!"

Everyone applauds.

Lao Yang brought the kelp box over, motioned for him to put it on the table behind me, and returned to the team.

Continue to say: "The second thing is also a good thing, it should be said that it is a good thing for a good person. Everyone found out that our backyard is now clean. This is thanks to our big brother Shui Tofu, who is cleaning in his spare time with a big broom Yes, it’s really hard work cleaning our yard in such a cold day, everyone give us a round of applause.”

Everyone applauds.

"Okay, Shui Tofu, you will be a good person and a good deed." Master Liu joked.

Brother Shui Tofu smiled embarrassedly, his face was a little red.I know that when Master Du arranged for him to clean the backyard, he was not happy at all. Later, Master Du said that I asked him to do it, so he reluctantly agreed, probably because he was afraid that I would chat with him alone again.

"Big Brother is a nice person. It's not easy at such an advanced age. We all work together, we are a family, and we must be considerate and take care of each other. Big Brother, there are a lot of people who smoke in our house. I see that when you sweep There are a lot of cigarette butts, which are very difficult to clean, I have a task for you, there are two ashtrays hanging on the wall at the back door, everyone throws the cigarette butts into them after smoking, and you will save trouble."

The eldest brother said: "Don't worry, chef, I will fix it today."

"On behalf of the smokers in Blue and White Pavilion, thank you." I said.

"The chef is only joking, thank you for this, it should be done." The eldest brother said.

"Okay, brother, if you are enlightened, you can still improve." Master Du said.

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, let's talk about the third thing."

I turned around and took out the scissors inside the kelp shreds, and showed them to everyone.

Seeing the scissors in my hand, everyone understood what was going on, Meng Hongwei smiled embarrassedly, and Li Mingjuan blushed a little.

"Meng Hongwei, can you explain to me what's going on?" I asked.

"I forgot to return the scissors after twisting the kelp yesterday." He said.

"Should the scissors return to their place?" I asked.

"It should," he said.

"What should I do now?" I asked.

"Let's donate three yuan."

"You do understand."

He blushed and smiled.

"Chef, don't blame Brother Meng, I forgot." The cold dish boy said.

I looked at the little cold dish and asked, "Oh, you forgot, what should I do?"

"I am happy to donate." The younger brother said.

"From the heart?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes." He nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, after the regular meeting, I took the initiative to donate the money in the happy donation box."

Looking at everyone, I went around and said: "To be honest, our kitchen is doing very well now. The daily closing sanitation has reached the standard. At the same time, all kinds of tools can be put back in place and the display is also very standard. Take the cutting board. Said, when the market closes, they are all cleaned and stood up, and once they are laid out, it feels comfortable to look at. Especially our freezer, now that we open it, the fresh-keeping boxes inside are neatly arranged, and each box has a label , you can see what raw materials you want to take at a glance, not only the rules, but also the work is smooth, much more convenient than before, isn't it?"

"Yes--"

"Yes--"

"This is the work we have to do. The work has to be done like this. I hope everyone will keep it." Glancing at Li Mingjuan, he said, "Sister Li, you are also responsible. If this happens, don’t let it happen again.”

Li Mingjuan nodded with a blushing face.

After the regular meeting, I went to the office to talk to accountant Cui about Zhang Chunmei’s salary increase. Accountant Cui said that there was such a thing, but no one cared about it when Lao Zhao left and Lao Chen didn’t sign it. Fill.After thinking about it, since there is indeed such a thing, I signed it.

Accountant Cui said: "Old Tan, I called you up to see that you have been busy and didn't bother you. Do you have time tonight? Have a drink?"

I smiled and said, "Have a drink."

"I'll go over to order food after get off work, and you go there with Master Li," he said.

"Okay—"

After coming out of the office to the pastry room, everyone is busy preparing dumplings.

Fang Lin was rolling the skins, and she could already roll six skins at once, the little girl learned well.

"The chef is here." Jiang Yajun said when he saw me.

"Come and see you." I said.

"Any instructions?" she asked.

"No instructions, just come and have a look, you are busy with your work." I said.

"Chef, is the sanitation of our dumpling room up to standard? Is it number one?" Zhang Chunmei said to me.

"Qualified, doing very well." I said.

"Is there any reward for doing well?" she asked.

"Yes, I will reward you with a plate of dumplings." I smiled.

I wanted to tell her that the salary issue was settled, but I didn't say anything because there were too many people in the room, and I'll tell her when I have time.

Fang Lin said to me: "Uncle, are you going to drink tonight?"

I said: "No, you are a girl who drinks and drinks every day, and goes back to sleep after get off work."

"I invite you." She smiled.

"Please don't go, please roll your skin." I said.

"Cut, don't pull it down, let's drink it." The little girl curled her lips.

"Chef, you really have to take care of your niece, she knows how to drink every day." Zhang Chunmei said.

"I can't manage it, you can manage your soldiers yourself."

After finishing talking and preparing to go out, she saw Ma Shuli's finger with a Band-Aid, and asked her what happened to her finger. She said that the door of the refrigerator was scratched during cleaning yesterday, and the skin was torn, and nothing happened.I said pay attention, wear gloves when cleaning.Speaking of gloves, Jiang Yajun said that gloves have not been distributed for almost a month, and it is time to distribute them. I said in the afternoon, and Master Du will go to the warehouse to pick them up in the afternoon.

I came out of the dumpling room and followed the steaming and frying process to go downstairs. Li Cheng, who was cooking the dumplings, saw me and said, "Chef, one of the dumpling pots is about to leak, and I need to change it."

I said: "Okay, talk to your boss about this matter and let her solve it."

He said, "I'm running into you, let me tell you."

"Talk to me." I said, "Your dumplings have been cooking very well recently. Someday I will find an apprentice to take you with me."

"Thank you, chef." He stood at attention and gave a military salute, which was a bit funny.

Pat him on the shoulder and go downstairs.

Entering the hot dish kitchen, the dish stalls have been set up, and everyone is making preparations.

When I came to the stove, Cao Ligui came over and said that I needed to make crispy meatball stuffing. I asked if it was finished, and he said it was done, and asked me to mix the ingredients.I am preparing the small ingredients for the crispy balls, and Master Du came over there and said that Li Xingtang is here, and he just came to the kitchen to look for me.

I asked, "What did he want from me?"

"I didn't say anything, I said you'll come down later, and he's at the front food stall." Master Du said.

"Oh, by the way, Lao Du, from today onwards, those who choose vegetables and stuffing will get off work at [-]:[-] p.m. When you record your attendance, don't let others think that you are leaving early." I said.

He said: "Yes, they leave work early, come early every day, and there is nothing to do until after eight o'clock in the evening. It is better to go back early, because they are already old."

"Tell them to open the menu in advance and hand it over to Cao Ligui every day, so don't forget to open the menu early after get off work." I said.

"Well, I'll let them know when the time comes," he said.

After preparing the crispy meatballs and serving them to Cao Ligui, he came to the front, where Li Xingtang was standing at the vegetable stall watching the dishes.

Walk over to say hello: "Master Li, I'm here."

"Just came here, are you done?" He asked with a smile.

I said: "I'm done, I'm not too busy." Then I asked: "I heard from Lao Du that you were looking for me?"

He said, "Let's sit down and talk."

It turned out that he and the old man came over for dinner yesterday. They ordered "Nongjia Fried Dried Vegetables" and "Yu's Crispy Meatballs". Prepare to send chefs over to study.I said yes, come here.

"Master Tan, your dish is now the number one in our family." He said.

"Master Li, the first prize is not counted as the first place." I said.

"Someday we will sit together and have a good chat." He said.

"Okay, someday I have time." I said.

"There is one more thing, take a look, Master Tan, and I will share with you about sharing and management someday when I have time." He said.

I said, "Next week, I don't have time this week."

"How about next Tuesday?" he asked.

"Okay, Tuesday." I said.
