Siheyuan: Start with senior technicians

Chapter 240

Chen Feifei took out a stack of red tickets from her bag and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter was a little surprised. He thought the two of them had some objection to the steak.

"Boy, if you think the steak doesn't suit your taste, we can ask the chef to make one for you," the waiter said.

Zhou Xueer was a little impatient, "Don't worry about so much, just call your chef!"

The waiter came to the kitchen with a wry smile on his face.

"Chef Yang, there are guests outside and I want you to come over!"

Yang Weibiao was a little surprised.

"Do the guests think the dishes we cook are not to their taste?" Yang Weibiao asked.

"The guest didn't say anything, he just asked me to call you over." The waiter said with a wry smile.

Yang Weibiao frowned slightly, "What table number are the guests at, and what dishes did they order?"

"Table No. 5, ordered filet mignon!"

"Okay!" Yang Weibiao nodded and walked to the restaurant hall.

He is the head chef now, and he can't refuse when customers come to him.

As soon as Yang Weibiao left, a pot exploded in the kitchen.

"Chef Yang pretends to be inscrutable, but I don't think he has that ability at all."

"I think there's a big problem with the sauce he made just now."

"And he actually told me that it only takes fifty seconds to cook a medium-rare steak."

"The guests must be picking on him. I estimate that Chef Yang will have to leave after less than two days!"

Because Yang Weibiao was serious about his words all day long, he had strict requirements in the kitchen. If there was any problem, he would scold him with all his face, without any mercy.

Even if they only spent half a day with Yang Weibiao, everyone still had considerable resentment towards him.

At this time, Yang Weibiao had arrived at table No. 5 and met Chen Feifei and Zhou Xueer.

"Two beauties, may I ask what your orders are? Is our food not to your taste?"

Yang Weibiao asked with a smile on his face.

"Are you the chef here?"

Chen Feifei and Zhou Xueer looked at Yang Weibiao up and down with surprise on their faces. Chen Feifei and Zhou Xueer did not know Yang Weibiao.

What surprised them was that they were shocked by Yang Weibiao's appearance.

In most people's minds, chefs have a fat face and big ears.

However, Yang Weibiao completely overturned their subjective impressions.

Chen Feifei and Zhou Xueer are also daughters of wealthy families.

They are not old, but they have a lot of experience and knowledge.

"A bit handsome!" Zhou Xueer couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you really the chef here?" Chen Feifei still didn't believe it.

"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake!!" Yang Weibiao replied with a smile on his face.

"Did you cook these two filet mignons?"

Chen Feifei opened her eyes wide, looked at Yang Weibiao, and asked.

"Well, other chefs are handling the processing, and I'm supervising. The sauce is my unique recipe!!"

Yang Weibiao is still smiling.

In fact, he was feeling a little impatient in his heart.

The restaurant is now open for business, and many customers are arriving one after another.

The kitchen has been very busy for a long time.

At this time, he didn't have much time to come here and chat with these two girls.

Even though they are all quite beautiful, they all have one-in-a-million looks.

"If you have any opinions about this steak, feel free to put it forward!" Yang Weibiao said.

"No, no, we asked you to come out just to see you!!"

"The steak you cooked is so delicious."

Zhou Xueer praised repeatedly, her eyes were filled with stars.

Yang Weibiao frowned slightly.

"You two, I am the chef here, and the kitchen is very busy right now. You have nothing to do, why did you ask me to come?"

Chen Feifei and Zhou Xueer were both a little anxious. They knew that Yang Weibiao had misunderstood them.

Zhou Xueer hurriedly stood up and took the initiative to come to Yang Weibiao's side.

"Chef, how about you come to my house and be our private chef? Whatever price you want, just ask!!"

Zhou Xueer leaned close to his ear and whispered.

When Yang Weibiao heard this, he immediately became happy. These two girls are both rich women.

He looked at Zhou Xueer's smart eyes jokingly and smiled, "If I agree to you, what price are you going to give me?"

"Monthly salary, two hundred thousand?" Zhou Xueer tentatively reported a number.

"If your annual salary is less than 10 million, don't talk to me about this matter!" Yang Weibiao said coldly.

In fact, even if the other party offered a higher price, Yang Weibiao would not agree.

He came here to be the chef only because something unexpected happened at the Gray Whale restaurant.

He is really not interested in money now.

He could earn hundreds of millions in cash just by signing in every day. He didn't even pay attention to a mere tens of millions.

Zhou Xueer gasped, her face full of shock.

Ten million is already a sky-high price.

Zhou Xueer's eyes were full of disappointment, and she sat down on the chair.

Yang Weibiao glanced at her imperceptibly, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"You two, if nothing happens, I will go back to the kitchen first!" Yang Weibiao said calmly.

After Yang Weibiao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Wait!!" Chen Feifei suddenly said.

"This chef, let's add a friend!"

Zhou Xueer also nodded repeatedly at this time, blinking her big watery eyes and looking at Yang Weibiao.

The two girls are not giving up and plan to follow up when the time comes.

Yang Weibiao thought for a while, but did not refuse. He took out his mobile phone and added them as friends.

"By the way, I still don't know what to call you!" Zhou Xueer asked again.

"Yang Weibiao!"

"Okay!" Chen Feifei and Zhou Xueer clicked a few times on the phone screen and modified Yang Weibiao's notes.

"Chef Yang, my name is Chen Feifei."

"My name is Zhou Xueer!!"

The two of them each told Yang Weibiao their names.

Yang Weibiao nodded and turned back to the kitchen. He didn't have much time to waste here.

In the back kitchen, many chefs and apprentices who had gathered together to discuss each other began to get busy again after seeing Yang Weibiao return.

While everyone was busy, they all looked at Yang Weibiao secretly. They wanted to know if the guest came to Yang Weibiao to give him advice.

However, Yang Weibiao was leaning against the door with no expression on his face.

His eyes are constantly scanning around, and whenever he sees someone being lazy or making a mistake while cooking, he will immediately correct them.

Soon, the prime time for dinner arrived.

More and more guests are coming to Gray Whale Restaurant, and more and more menus are being sent to the kitchen.

Sometimes, even Yang Weibiao has to help.

Taking advantage of this time, Yang Weibiao improved all the dishes on the restaurant's menu.

These include desserts, staple dishes, etc.

The improvement of every dish seems a little different and weird in the eyes of other chefs in the back kitchen.

However, Yang Weibiao strictly required them to cook every dish according to his improvements.

At this time, a waiter came in.

He said loudly, "The barbecue and foie gras just now were praised by the guests."

Another waiter came in and said, "The sirloin steak and ice cream just served were well received by the guests!!"

……

Whenever a dish is served, the waiter who comes back will definitely come to the kitchen with a smile and praises from the guests.

Everyone in the kitchen, except Yang Weibiao, was in a state of shock.

In their view, these improvements made by Yang Weibiao were completely inconsistent with the basic methods of dish improvement.

However, today, they received more positive reviews than usual in a month.

From this point of view, Yang Weibiao's improvement of these dishes is extremely successful.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on Yang Weibiao.

There was even a bit of fanaticism in their eyes.

Now, they can confirm that Yang Weibiao is a real chef.

Yang Weibiao told them about every improvement of the dishes without hiding anything.

This is undoubtedly a huge gain for chefs.

In the future, even if they can't survive here, no matter how hard it is, they can open their own restaurant with the improved formulas given by Yang Weibiao. Western food doesn't really pay much attention to heat, etc. What matters is the materials and processing steps.

Learning this is equivalent to mastering Western food, and you will have no problem eating it.

Thinking of this, everyone felt full of strength.

In the entire kitchen, everyone is busy with their own work, and they are working in full swing! !

Yang Weibiao nodded with satisfaction.

In the office, Manager Zhang of Gray Whale Restaurant stood in front of Jiang Lai with a smile on his face, reporting to her about the situation in the restaurant today.

"Mr. Jiang, since Mr. Yang took up the position of chef, our restaurant has received praise from countless customers so far."

"Those guests gave unanimous praise to Mr. Yang's cooking skills. The praise was much higher than that of the previous chef."

Jiang Lai was originally worried, but after hearing what Manager Zhang said, he was completely stunned.

She even thought Manager Zhang was deliberately comforting her.

"Are you telling the truth or lies? I don't need comfort. I need to hear the truth!"

"Mr. Jiang, of course what I said is true, how could I lie to you!" Manager Zhang said dumbfounded.

"If you don't believe it, you can go out and see for yourself."

"All seats in our restaurant are occupied today, and the number of people who have come to make reservations has exceeded 300 people."

"The seats for tomorrow are all booked."

“All the guests who came today have reserved seats for tomorrow, and the return rate is 100%.”

Everyone in Jianglai was stunned and came to the restaurant hall in person to observe the situation.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked in, she received a lot of praise.

Jiang Lai also had a bright smile on his face. When he arrived in the kitchen, he saw Yang Weibiao's busy figure.

Yang Weibiao was frying steak at this time and did not notice Jiang Lai's arrival.

After finishing the steak on hand, Yang Weibiao wiped his sweat and came to the door of the kitchen.

He met Jiang Lai.

"What are you doing here? There's a lot of fumes here. Go to your office and don't hinder us!!"

Jiang Lai ignored him and stood beside Yang Weibiao, still with a smile on his face.

"Yang Weibiao, you really surprised me. I didn't expect that you still have such cooking skills. You really can't hide it!"

"I'm not hiding anything. It's not like you don't know my cooking skills."

"Besides, I never said that I couldn't do the job of chef. It's you who don't have confidence in me."

Yang Weibiao said calmly.

"Okay, that's my problem, okay? Are you tired? You're already sweating!!"

Jiang Lai was very concerned about Yang Weibiao, and she took out her handkerchief to wipe Yang Weibiao's sweat.

Everyone else in the kitchen was stunned when they saw this scene.

They naturally knew Jiang Lai, but they did not know the relationship between Yang Weibiao and Jiang Lai.

"Okay, okay, don't get in the way here, we're still busy," Yang Weibiao urged, asking Jiang Lai to leave.

"Well, I'm leaving. Take your time and don't be too tired!" Jiang Lai warned and left the kitchen.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after nearly six hours of busy work, the restaurant closed.

Yang Weibiao finally got off work.

He took off his sweat-stained clothes and came to Jiang Lai's office.

Jiang Lai is waiting for Yang Weibiao to get off work.

"Are you off work? Thank you for your hard work!"

Jiang Lai stood up and asked Yang Weibiao to sit on his office chair, while he stood beside him obediently.

Yang Weibiao nodded with satisfaction and glanced at her, "You've become a lot more sensible today!"

"Humph, I've always been very sensible, okay?"

While talking, Jiang Lai's small hands began to massage Yang Weibiao.

Yang Weibiao closed his eyes and enjoyed Jiang Lai's rare tenderness.

"Is there any news about recruiting a chef?" Yang Weibiao asked.

"Manager Zhang is currently in contact with three experienced Western chefs. They should be able to do it within the next three or four days!!"

Jiang Lai's work efficiency has always been very high.

Yang Weibiao nodded.

"All the dishes in the restaurant have been improved by me. Even if the new chef is not a top-notch chef, as long as he cooks according to the dishes I improved, he will basically make no mistakes."

Thinking of Charles's attitude of raising prices, Yang Weibiao was very unhappy.

"Please help me check which restaurant that Charles switched jobs to!" Yang Weibiao looked at Jiang Lai.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lai looked a little confused.

"This kid wants to sit down with me and raise the price, and he also deliberately changes jobs at this stall. Do you think I can let him go so easily?" Yang Weibiao sneered.

This Charles' behavior has touched Yang Weibiao's bottom line.

Yang Weibiao decided to make him suffer.

After hearing this, Jiang Lai's eyes flickered slightly. However, she didn't say much.

In Jiang Lai's heart, no matter what Yang Weibiao does, she will support him unconditionally.

Jiang Lai called Manager Zhang in and asked him to investigate the matter.

Manager Zhang obviously knew this very well. He had long known that Charles had switched jobs to that restaurant.

"A week ago, the manager of Byron Restaurant had contact with Charles. According to my personal investigation, Charles probably wants to switch jobs to Byron Restaurant."

"Are you sure it's this restaurant?" Yang Weibiao asked.

Manager Zhang hesitated. To be honest, he was not sure.

"It's almost the same. Byron's Restaurant and our Gray Whale Restaurant have always been competitors."

"For a chef of Charles's caliber, he should look down on other restaurants."

Yang Weibiao shook his head and said coldly, "These are just your speculations. Go and investigate carefully for me now."

"I'll give you half an hour. It should be okay, right?"

Manager Zhang nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, it only takes ten minutes for me to investigate clearly."

Manager Zhang has been in the catering industry for so many years, and every restaurant has his spies.

Besides, for a chef as famous as Charles, once he changes jobs, news will definitely spread all over the place.

Not long after, Manager Zhang came back.

"Mr. Yang, Charles just switched jobs to Byron's Restaurant, and they offered him a salary of five million a year."

Yang Weibiao nodded, took a pen, and tapped lightly on the table.

"Okay, Charles, your annual salary is five hundred years, right?"

The corners of Yang Weibiao's mouth turned up slightly, and his body exuded a somewhat dangerous smell.

After Jiang Lai, who had been standing next to Yang Weibiao, saw Yang Weibiao's expression, she knew that Charles was finished.

Yang Weibiao rarely showed such an expression, but once it did, it meant that he was really angry.

"Jiang Lai, what kind of lesson should you give this Charles?" Yang Weibiao raised his head and looked at Jiang Lai.

"It depends on how you deal with it, I will listen to you." Jiang Lai said obediently.

Yang Weibiao nodded, "I think the biggest lesson for a chef is to let him lose his job!"

"Such a lesson will surely be remembered by him for the rest of his life."

Yang Weibiao was talking to himself.

Neither Jiang Lai nor Manager Zhang believed that Yang Weibiao had that much energy unless Yang Weibiao could unify the entire catering industry in Magic City.

At this time, Yang Weibiao spoke again.

"Manager Zhang, please go for a run. Contact the owner of Byron Restaurant and ask him to come over!!"

Manager Zhang was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.

Jiang Lai asked. "Why are you looking for the owner of Byron's Restaurant?"

"Buy the Byron restaurant. Then tell Charles to get out!!" Yang Weibiao said calmly.

"What?" Jiang Lai and Manager Zhang both thought they heard wrong.

Byron Restaurant has been in the city for decades, and it is tied with Gray Whale Restaurant as the two top Western restaurants in the city.

What's more, Byron's Restaurant is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Shanghai, and the land alone is worth more than a billion.

Jiang Lai and Manager Zhang both thought Yang Weibiao was crazy.

"Manager Zhang, just follow my instructions. Go quickly and help me contact the owner of Byron Restaurant!!"

Manager Zhang didn't dare to ask any more questions and went down.

"Yang Weibiao, just for a mere Charles, it's not worth resorting to such means." Jiang Lai advised.

Yang Weibiao smiled and said, "Jiang Lai, you will know the purpose of my doing this by then."

"Don't ask so many questions now. You will definitely thank me when you see the results!"

Yang Weibiao has countless ways to deal with Charles.

Yang Weibiao didn't just buy Byron's Restaurant to get revenge on Charles.

He also has a bigger idea. He wants to unify the catering industry in the entire Magic City.

Therefore, taking revenge on Charles is just incidental.

Not long after, Manager Zhang came back.
