The story of a cook

Chapter 509
Zhou Jing drank too much.

He vomited within a few steps of walking out.

After throwing up, I became more sober, and told me that I have never drank four bottles of beer, usually two bottles, and today it is too much.Then asked me if I didn't say anything too much, did I?I said no, hurry back.

She was going to help her to walk, but she said it was fine and she could walk, but she walked staggeringly, crumbling under her feet, a normal behavior of drinking too many people.

I went up to support her, and at the same time regretted not listening to Ma Shuli, she told me not to go out to drink with the woman, but I didn't listen, this time it's okay, drink one more.

When approaching the dormitory, I ran into Bao Peng and Fang Lin, and they must have crossed the road.Call Fang Lin over and ask her to help Zhou Jing back to the dormitory.I sat on the steps of the building and smoked.

"Master, have you two been drinking?" Bao Peng didn't go up, but sat beside me and asked.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"I know she wants to buy you a drink. She told me."

I said nothing.

"Master, Binhai Boulevard is always lively, and there are racing cars." He said.

"Where did you two go?" I asked.

"Well, a lot of people have gone to our store, and there are coarse grains, there are quite a lot of people." He said: "There are sellers, dancers, and singers in that place."

"It's quite lively."

"You should go someday, go and see, it's always interesting."

"I'm old, that's where you young people go," I said.

"There are also people as old as you, and I think some are older than you." He said.

"Try to go as little as possible, there will always be fights there."

"We're honest and don't cause trouble," he said.

"You don't want to cause trouble, sometimes things come to you." I said.

He said, "It's okay, we have a lot of people, why are we still afraid of them?"

I said, "Fighting is not a matter of many people and few people. Now, let's go upstairs."

I'm really worried that something will happen to them playing there. They are all young people, and they are all beautiful and handsome. It is the time when the blood is surging, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and accidents are prone to happen.

After going to work the next day, Zhou Jing saw that my eyes began to avoid, and she didn't dare to look at me, knowing that she had made a fool of herself yesterday, so she was ashamed.Smile in your heart, didn't you tell me to look into your eyes, why are you hiding now?

Also remind myself, never go out to drink with women in the future.

When I was making preparations, I asked Master Du: "Old Du, how about we hold a cooking competition?"

"Cooking competition? How to compare?" he asked.

"One chef has two dishes, one is fixed, and the other is free to play." I said.

"Bibi is fine too, it just so happens that I'm not busy this month."

"Has it been held in our house before?"

"No, we don't have any activities in our family. You only come to the party. In the past, everyone got together to have a meal. It was a dinner party." He said.

I said, "If we're going to do the whole thing, we have to be more formal, or the masters won't pay much attention to it."

"Give me a reward," he said.

"Rewards must be given, certificates must be issued, and points must be added." I said.

"Then we have to find a few judges." He said.

"Judges are a must." I said, "I've always wanted to have a cooking competition. Let me tell you, Lao Du, a cooking competition looks like it's worse than a chef's cooking. In fact, it has a lot of benefits. It can draw the attention of the chefs." Concentrate on the cooking, the masters' attention is concentrated, and the attention of the younger brothers who follow is also concentrated. It works better than every day. Through the competition, the research and development ability of the masters can also be improved. Otherwise, everyone doesn't like to develop dishes. Wait. We all know when we release new dishes, we try our best to fix the dishes, and if we don’t make them well, we don’t bring them up, don’t we?”

"That's true." He said: "Our family sells these dishes very well now, but there are also a few dishes that can't be sold. It's time to change."

"Yes, so I want to have a cooking competition. It just so happens that there are also trainee chefs. Let them be counted together and ask them to come up with some new dishes. If they are good, we will serve them." I said.

"Okay, let's fix it then." He said.

I asked, "How much money does our family have now?"

"It's not much money. There are not many people who make mistakes, and they all perform very well." He said, "It's more than 300 yuan."

"More than 300—" I smacked my lips and said, "It's not enough, where can I earn some money?"

"Application with finance, we are not doing anything else, this money should be able to give." He said.

"Old Du, you can't tell the finance minister that our entire cooking competition is our own business. The group doesn't have the money. If you tell the finance company, the group will know. At that time, the coarse grains will have an opinion, saying that we are so bubbly, it's not worth it. .Besides, it’s the culinary director’s business to engage in cooking competitions, and we didn’t inform them that they will pick it up when the time comes, as if there’s something wrong with us.” I said.

"I don't know sooner or later," he said.

It's the same thing when you think about it, you have to know sooner or later, it's better to be generous.

"Don't worry about coarse grains, let's do ours, if they want to do it themselves, it has nothing to do with us." After he finished speaking, he looked at me, as if he didn't know me, and said, "I remember that your old Tan is quite bold. , What do you want to do, this is not your character."

"We're a bit too popular now, so we need to restrain ourselves." I said, "Last month, our family sold 120 three and coarse grains for 130 eight. It's about to catch up, and it's also a pressure on them."

"That's no way, they should find the reason from themselves." Speaking of this, he suddenly said: "Old Tan, you don't know yet, Li Xingtang was in a car accident yesterday."

"Why did you have a car accident?" I asked, really not knowing about it.

"Didn't the old man give him a car? He drives it every day, and he likes to drink. He drinks every day. After drinking and driving yesterday, he crashed and is in the hospital now." Master Du said.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"I heard it was serious. The car was deformed. What do you think people can do?" he said.

"Isn't there an airbag, don't crash it, it doesn't matter if the car is scrapped, as long as people are fine." I said.

"I heard that the old man was very angry." He said.

"Can you not be angry? Now is the time for employing people, and he is hospitalized—it's all caused by drinking, and this wine can't be drunk." I said.

"Old Tan, you're creepy enough to drink, so drink less in the future."

"You must drink less."

Speaking of drinking, thinking of Zhou Jing, I really can't drink this wine in the future.

After talking about Li Xingtang's car accident, he studied the cooking competition for a while and decided to hold it at the end of the month.After ordering, I announced to the masters on the spot, and the masters were very excited when they heard that there was going to be a cooking competition.

"Chef, what are the fixed dishes?" Master Li asked.

I laughed and said, "Stir-fried shredded potatoes."

"Stir-fried potato shreds?"

"Stir-fried potato shreds?"

The chefs were all a little puzzled, and after being puzzled, they began to shake their heads. After shaking their heads, someone asked, "Chef, can you change the dish?"

"No." I said.

"Potato shreds - alas, a little hard to fry," someone said.

"It's still stir-fried, vinegar is okay."

"It's too difficult for a chef to take the 'Stir-Fried Shredded Potatoes' test."

"---"

I said: "Stir-fried potato shreds is the basic skill. The test is the chopping board knife skills, the master's frying skills, and the mastery of the fire. There are more than 20 days before the end of the month. How many years have you practiced during this time?" Didn’t you get fired? This time, let’s pull it out and see who is the best.”

"Is there any reward?" Zhao Xiaojun asked.

"Yes, there must be." I said.

"What is the award?" Master Wang asked.

"Secret for now."

"Hi--"

Everyone laughed.

After arranging the kitchen, I came to the front desk, and told Manager Chen and Mr. Wang about the culinary competition at the end of the month, and they both agreed.

"What do I need to do?" Mr. Wang asked.

"I really need support." I said, "Mr. Wang should know some friends in the chef industry, and then invite some to be judges."

"No problem, how many do you need?" Mr. Wang asked.

"Four will do," I said.

"They all have to be at the chef's level?" he asked.

"Almost, when the time comes, I need to comment on the dishes, and I have to be able to tell a thing or two." I said.

Mr. Wang said: "Okay, I see, there are really a few, I will call them when the time comes."

Mr. Wang solved the chef-level judges here, and asked Manager Chen to invite four old customers to be judges. At the same time, he told them the whole process of the cooking competition, what to prepare and how to operate it.Manager Chen took care of the venue layout, scorekeeper, host and service. Mr. Wang took care of the on-site communication and reception of the judges. I was mainly responsible for the on-site command of the kitchen.

The three of us are now cooperating more and more tacitly. It is very happy to do something.

After these are done, start to solve the money matter.

I was about to apply to the finance department, but when I thought about what Master Du said about Li Xingtang's car accident, I thought it would be a few days later until the matter subsided.

It’s been a week in June. Except yesterday, it didn’t sell for 4 yuan, and the other six days were above 120 yuan. If the sales continue like this, it can sell for [-] million yuan by the end of the month.Now it's just the first week, and I can't see anything, just look at the next three weeks.

On the whole, after the new year, the business of the old store is indeed better than last year, with an average monthly sales of 12 yuan more than last year.That's good, I'm content.

After get off work in the evening, I packed a dumpling and prepared to go back and drink some.I don't think I can stop drinking. In the morning, I told Master Du that it was a mistake to drink, but at night I couldn't control myself and still wanted to drink.

It has become a habit.

I was drinking, and Ma Shuli came back from get off work, saw me drinking and said, "I still drink, drink Zhou Jing like that."

I smiled and said nothing.

"How much did you drink yesterday? Look at Zhou Jing." He said.

"Didn't drink much, she drank four bottles of beer, who knows how she drank like that." I said.

"Didn't I tell you not to go out drinking with women? If you want to drink, I'll accompany you, let's drink at home" she sullenly.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I still regret it now, and I won't go out to drink after killing me."

She looked at me and said, "You are the head chef now, and everyone is watching you. You go out to drink with women and come back in the middle of the night. It's hard to say something. You don't think it's anything, and I know you're nothing. Can others think so? It's not that my sister said you, that's what happened."

I nodded and said yes.

"It's great like this. If you want to drink, you can drink it in the dormitory. If you drink too much, you don't have to worry about it. You just lie on the bed and sleep." She said.

"Ah."

"Don't go out in the future, especially with women." She said: "Look, I know that you and Zhou Jing went out for a drink. In two days, Wang Hong will come to drink with you. Let's see what you do when the time comes." all."

I said, "What's the matter? Quit drinking!"

"Just blow it from there. If you quit drinking, I will quit eating."
