Sing the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, my music can come true

Chapter 211 Guangdong Mansion
But Lou Yan didn't dare to promote Duanmulan to the restaurant's chef rashly.

The chef is really important to a restaurant.

If the chef cannot control the back kitchen, it is impossible for this restaurant to provide customers with satisfactory dishes.

Judging from Lou Yan’s experience in Baishi Group over the years.

In Chinese restaurants, there are very few female chefs who are qualified for the position of head chef.

Basically, the chefs in Chinese restaurants are all male chefs.

It is relatively rare to find chefs in Chinese restaurants and even ordinary female chefs.

When Chinese restaurants recruit workers, they usually only recruit male chefs, not female chefs.

This is mainly because the working environment of Chinese food chefs is too high-pressure and the work intensity is too high.

Generally, female chefs are not capable of such high-intensity work.

Working as a chef in a restaurant is different from cooking at home.

When cooking at home, just cook for one family.

It's not very physically demanding.

So women can be the main force.

But restaurants have to cook for hundreds or thousands of people, and the workload is far greater than most people imagine.

Especially when working as a chef in a popular restaurant.

After a day's work, it's almost like working out in the gym all day without taking a break.

It can directly tire people out.

Just weighing a pot or a spoon can break a person's arm.

Most female chefs do not have such high-intensity, high-explosive, and high-stamina work capabilities.

of course there are exceptions.

Duanmulan is one such exception.

She has been working in the kitchen of Zhenxiang Creative Cuisine for two years, so she must have two skills.

But does she have what it takes to become a chef?

Lou Yan still needs to inspect it in person.

The day after I called Lou Yan in Jingshan.

Lou Yan went to a colleague who was acquainted with Chaoyue Store, and asked about Duan Mulan's work situation and interpersonal relationship.

Judging from the feedback from colleagues in the front store and back kitchen of Chaoyue store, Duanmulan is very popular.

Duanmulan's cooking skills are also well-known.

At least the other chefs in the back kitchen didn't look down on him just because she was a female chef.

Listening to the reflections of other chefs, they seem to respect Duanmulan, a very hard-working single mother.

Generally being respected by other chefs shows that Duanmulan must be superior in cooking skills.

Otherwise, other chefs wouldn’t look down on her just because she’s a single mom.

On the contrary, he will feel that she is a burden.

After getting to know Duan Mulan from the side.

Lou Yan invited Duan Mulan to the restaurant and personally interviewed Duan Mulan for a job.

Jean Duanmulan elaborated on some of his thoughts after becoming a chef and his suggestions for restaurant reform.

Duan Mulan never thought that after the transfer of the restaurant, she would be promoted to be the head chef.

After all, she has never been a chef before, but she has worked with many chefs, both Chinese and Western chefs.

The only thing she can do is learn from the best of these chefs.

Manage the kitchen well according to the already good rules and regulations specified by the original chef of the restaurant.

As for her opinions on restaurant reform, Duanmulan had held back a lot of opinions that she wanted to express.

In this regard, Duanmulan is relatively straightforward and will say whatever he wants.

She almost completely rejected the original team's business ideas and gave Lou Yan many pertinent suggestions, which won Lou Yan's heart.Lou Yan and Duan Mulan had a very good chat.

Lou Yan was about to make drastic changes in the restaurant's business philosophy, and Duan Mulan's suggestion coincided with hers.

Lou Yan immediately decided to promote Duanmulan to the chef of the restaurant, and let Duanmulan lead the kitchen team of Chaoyue store to cooperate with her in promoting the business reform of the cost-effective Internet celebrity restaurant.

Duanmulan was naturally happy to get the position of chef, but she didn't know that Jingshan was the real boss behind the restaurant.

She thought that she was given the opportunity to be promoted exceptionally because of Lou Yan's appreciation, and she was very grateful to Lou Yan.

She will do her best to cooperate with Lou Yan's reform of the restaurant.

While Lou Yan was rapidly advancing the reform of the two Zhenxiang creative dishes.

Xie Chuncheng has not been idle either, he has been running for qualifications for him and Jingshan's Shancheng Catering Co., Ltd.

Lu Shuai entrusted his friends in business and taxation to help Xie Chuncheng with special affairs, and within two weeks, all the qualifications of their catering company were taken down.

The nine Zhenxiang series brand restaurants were successfully transferred from Baishi Group to Shancheng Catering Group, officially changing their ownership.

Baishi Group has previously registered a patented trademark for the Zhenxiang brand.

Bai Chen originally wanted to transfer Zhenxiang's patent and trademark to Jingshan.

But Jingshan felt that it would be useless to acquire the brand trademark. The restaurant would definitely change its name and it would be impossible for them to continue to use the Zhenxiang brand.

So I didn’t pick up the “Zhenxiang” brand trademark.

This trademark is reserved for the new business department of Baishi Group. In the future, their new business department will enter the high-end market again, and they can continue to use the Zhenxiang brand.

Two creative dishes and seven refreshment houses under the original Zhenxiang brand were all renamed during the industrial and commercial transfer.

The two creative restaurants want to continue to create creative and improved Cantonese cuisine. Lou Yan proposed several name change plans for Jingshan based on the name of the Cantonese cuisine restaurant that is clear at a glance.

This major renaming matter still has to be decided by Jingshan, the real big boss.

In the end, Jingshan chose the new restaurant name of "Yuefu-Creative Cuisine".

In this way, when passers-by pass by their restaurant, they will not know what cuisine they specialize in.

Moreover, the name "Guangdong Mansion" is homophonic with "father-in-law".

In the future, it may bring unexpected publicity effects to their restaurant.

Because the name has been changed, the restaurant's appearance will definitely need to be changed, and the standard menu and other items will also need to be changed.

The large decoration style of the restaurant is immutable.

After all, Baishi Group spent more than one million yuan on renovation costs for these two stores.

There is no need for Jingshan and the others to go to great lengths to recommend everything to others.

But the original Chinese and Western style of the restaurant is really lackluster.

It doesn't have the traditional flavor of Guangdong Restaurant.

Jingshan asked Lu Shuai to find a designer from his group and went to the restaurant to inspect the site.

A brief renovation plan for the two stores has been worked out.

Strive to adjust the style of combining Chinese and Western styles into a style that combines modernity and tradition.

Add a little more of the traditional southern flavor found in Cantonese restaurants.

This will further highlight the impression style of their restaurant focusing on Cantonese cuisine.

At the same time, the combination of tradition and modern fashionable decoration also highlights their innovative style of making creative Cantonese cuisine.

In this way, the decoration and their dishes can be highly harmonious and unified, which will leave a deep impression on diners.

As for the seven Zhenxiang Refreshment Houses, their names were temporarily changed to "Guangdong House-Cantonese Refreshment" during the industrial and commercial transfer.

Lou Yan plans to open these seven stores along the same lines as the original creative Cantonese refreshments.

But we must abandon the niche high-end route.

Like Cantonese creative cuisine, these seven refreshment houses should also change to a popular and people-friendly route, and no longer have those fancy menu names that make people confused.

For example, names like Crystal Pomegranate (Shaomai) and Jade Lotus Boat (Steamed Dumplings) must not be used anymore.
