Chapter 2459: Executive Chef of Guiying Hotel
But after arriving in the city in the 90s, he was in his 30s and had no special skills. However, De Biao remembered what his father Fan Lao Biao said before he died, which was that a cook would never starve to death no matter what era!

So Fan Debiao gritted his teeth and started working as an apprentice.

After all, at his age, he can't go to any big hotel and can only work in a snack bar. The chef is actually just a jack of all trades. He has to be the boss and cook at the same time, and he has two apprentices in the kitchen.

The other brothers are fifteen or sixteen years old, and some are even twelve or thirteen!
He is already over 30, and if he gets married earlier he will probably give birth to the youngest one. You can imagine how hard it would be!

But who is our Brother Biao?
When God closes a door for you, there will definitely be a gap left on the other side of the window. As the saying goes in Northeast China, you can't let the sparrow starve to death.

Even though I'm a little lazy, I can talk!

The young chef is a few years younger than De Biao, but he also calls him "Master" and offers him cigarettes and wine from time to time. They usually treat each other like brothers, and after a while he really learned some cooking skills from him.

He thought he had mastered the skills, and went to work on a construction site through the introduction of his master. However, after less than a year, Debiao's restless character began to emerge again.

Of course... before Marshal Ma came to the city, our Brother Biao was quite lucky. He switched to Guiying Hotel a few years ago and achieved a turnaround in life with his cooking skills.

Guiying Restaurant is even bigger than the snack bar that my master had run before, with about 20 tables and two private rooms at the innermost part. He also manages more or less two people.

Don't underestimate De Biao, he is still farming in the countryside without any skills!
So, as a person, you never know when opportunity will come. The reason you are poor and destitute now is just that you have not found the right direction for you.

The above is...Fan Debiao’s inspirational quote after his rebirth, the kind that anyone who believes in it would be a fool.

"Beep, beep, beep!" A rapid sound suddenly came from the pants hanging on the hook.

Fan Debiao bought an eight-hand pager that he found in the second-hand market.

[Debiao, come to the market and buy four fish! ]

Sent from Guiying, the restaurant owner.

Yes, that’s right, it’s a pager. The second brother in the play doesn’t have one yet.

As we all know, Brother Biao likes to show off when he has nothing to do.

I definitely can’t afford a mobile phone!
He couldn't even afford a new pager, so he just bought this old one and spent money to get a new cover. He would often go out and brag about being the owner of a big hotel.

Feeling the admiring gazes of everyone, De Biao's vanity was greatly satisfied.

When a monk strikes the clock one day.

Fan Debiao put on his clothes, bowed to Guan Erye as usual, then left home without recognizing any relatives, locked the door, and rode his bicycle to the market.

"Lao Liu, pick out four fresh fish for me, don't mess with the half-dead ones!"

"Don't worry, De Biao. I can't fool you no matter who I fool!"

Don’t talk about the simplicity of the lower class people. If you don’t know how to buy vegetables and fishmongers can tell at a glance, and they will definitely pick the dying ones for you, and the ones that are still alive and kicking will be sold for a little longer.

I left the market, hung the fish on the handlebars of my bicycle, and rode towards the restaurant.

"Ring, ring, ring!" He rang the bell on the handlebar.

Although she didn't really want to be a chef who was exposed to all the smoky and hot work, Guiying was a practical person and she wouldn't just leave the job there and then find a chance to mention her resignation.

Guiying Hotel.

The entrance area is not too large, with about 20 tables arranged in an orderly manner. There is a private room on the left and right sides of the innermost kitchen, and next to the private room is the bathroom.

There were only two tables of diners in the restaurant, and simple dishes like dumplings and noodles did not require the executive chef De Ge to personally prepare them.

Guiying, the boss, is standing behind the counter counting the bills. Don't be surprised why the boss comes earlier than the employees. The chef is the soul of a restaurant. Although he is not treated like a lord, it's okay to have some privileges.

As a boss, you can't just collect money. You need to purchase supplies every morning. If your ingredients are not fresh and you can only fool around for a day or two, you will definitely lose repeat customers over time.

Hear the door open.

"Here comes De Biao!" Guiying greeted him warmly.

"Ping'er, hurry up and bring the fish in!"

"De Biao, have you had breakfast? I'll ask Auntie to make you some noodles!"

"By the way, Ping'er, go to the back and tell your mother!"

"Okay, sister!" The waitress walked towards the kitchen carrying four fishes.

Although there has not been an incident of a kitchen knife saving a beautiful woman, the boss who can support a store after divorce naturally has high emotional intelligence. She is about 36 or 37 years old, wearing makeup, a little fat, always smiling when talking, wearing a red cotton jacket, and has a voice that is very characteristic of people from the Northeast.

Fan Debiao even took a second look.

To be honest, I don't know if I was deceived by Athena Chu or what, but the Guiying in front of me is no better than Yufen. She is the kind of person who can live a normal life.

Of course...the other party is only suitable for the previous Fan De Biao.

"De Biao, you should take a rest first. I'm sorry to have troubled you so early in the morning!"

"I don't know what happened to Xiao Hu yesterday. He actually forgot about the fish when he picked up the order. If you don't buy it, there might not be enough to make boiled fish. That's why I bothered you to go to the market!"

"Sister, this is nothing. I'll go to the back to prepare the ingredients!" When you take money from others to help them get rid of disasters, sometimes you just need to listen to the polite words.

The original body was a little confused about this. If he hadn't been reborn, he would have to sit up at that time. If the noodles were not enough, he would have to have a bottle of beer, and then at least sit down and smoke a cigarette and brag for a while.

"Huh~" Guiying looked at the other person's back, somewhat confused.

Why is it so abnormal today?

There are a total of four people in the kitchen. In addition to Fan Debiao, the "executive chef", there is also a master chef who is responsible for mixing cold dishes and the second chef. The other two are apprentices and cleaners.

Except for the second chef, the rest of the cleaners and apprentices are all relatives of Guiying. This is also a microcosm of a small city restaurant.

There are only seven people in the restaurant, including the proprietress Guiying. There are two waiters, including Xiao Ping'er, in the front. This is the complete staffing of the entire restaurant.

"Master~"

"De Biao is here!"

The ones who spoke were the apprentices and the cleaning lady who was in charge of washing the dishes.

"Yutian, don't worry about the potatoes yet, hurry up and get these fish out. Someone might come soon!"

The apprentice Zhao Yutian, who was peeling potatoes, was 18 years old. He was the cousin of the boss Guiying. He graduated from junior high school two years ago and came to the restaurant. He was very respectful to Fan Debiao, mainly because he liked to listen to stories when he had nothing to do. He couldn't tell whether the bragging of young children was true or false.

This name made Fan Debiao look at him twice.

"Yutian, what do you remember your father's name?"

"Zhao Guodong~" The apprentice boy looked up in confusion.

"Is there anyone named Xie Guangkun in your village?"

"No, right~"

Zhao Yutian was somewhat confused. He wondered if the master hadn't woken up this morning.

"Okay, okay, go and do your thing!"

"Hey!"

"Third Aunt, where is Hu Yong?" Fan Debiao just realized that someone was missing.

The cleaning lady who washes the dishes is the cousin of the nephew of Guiying's second aunt's third uncle's husband. Usually everyone calls her Third Aunt. She is also the mother of Xiaoping, the waiter in front.

"I don't know!" Third Aunt is a very simple-looking aunt who just does her own work and rarely gets involved in other things.

For example, the conflict between the head chef and the sous chef.

That’s right, Fan Debiao and Hu Yong have a grudge. After all, there can’t be two tigers in one mountain, not to mention that the original owner considered himself the “executive chef”.

Being a restaurant chef is not an easy job.

There are fewer people in the morning so you have to prepare the ingredients.

There is a series of tasks, such as cutting the meat, beating the eggs, peeling the potatoes, picking the vegetables, etc. You can't ask the apprentice to do all these things. Even if Zhao Yutian works himself to death, he still won't be able to finish them.

Especially since the second chef is not here, the workload has increased a lot.

Even when he was working, Fan Debiao was more or less absent-minded, thinking about what he should do in the future!
I can’t be a chef forever!
