American Ranch

Chapter 153 Chef
Away from homeland to a foreign country, impulsive factors must account for a large proportion.

Originally, Zhou Ziyu handled the passport and visa by himself, and planned to contact Chen Xiao when he arrived in San Francisco.Unexpectedly, when Chen Xiao returned home suddenly, the two met again...

Zhou Ziyu was ready to wander here with Chen Xiao, but now, he is just a soy sauce, and there is a gap in his heart, a big gap...

Chen Mo boiled water and put steamed buns on it.

Chen Xiao also went downstairs: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, just chat casually." Chen Mo absorbed and left the kitchen, opened the door of the living room and stretched.

It's a chilly morning in the Bay Area.

"Brother, can you find a job for Ziyu?" Chen Xiao said.

"It's okay, I can find a job by myself, so I don't need to bother my brother." Zhou Ziyu said.

"Don't be brave." Chen Xiao puffed her cheeks, held Zhou Ziyu's hand, and looked at Chen Mo.

"You... what will you do?" Chen Mo thought for a while, and then said, "What are you willing to do."

"I used to do new brand car sales network construction, just run around and help people do promotion."

"What are you willing to do... There are not many jobs I can introduce to you. One is working on a ranch. You can work on my ranch or other ranches. Instead, you can work as a company clerk in Chen Xiao's company. Well done, there should be room for improvement in the future. Or learn to cook."

Zhou Ziyu is not a shy person, he knows very well that if he goes out to find a job by himself, it may be a problem to support himself in San Francisco: "I don't have any plans for the future, as long as I have a stable job to support my family in the future "Brother Chen Mo, can you help me analyze which job I should do best."

"In my ranch, the initial monthly salary is 4000 US dollars. Later, it may rise to 7000 US dollars, or even a monthly salary of over 3500, but it is very difficult. In Chen Xiao's company, the monthly salary of a company clerk is about [-]. If you can rise to management Classes are still very promising, and there are more opportunities, and in the big cities, you can see a lot. The last thing is to learn to cook, it depends on your personal talent..."

"Being a cook is very hard work, with little or no pay during an apprenticeship, you have to measure yourself."

Zhou Ziyu looked at Chen Xiao...

Chen Xiao was a little moved: "Brother, are you going to let Ziyu worship Master Jing as a teacher?"

"Well, I don't know if Lao Jing would like to accept him." Chen Mo smiled, and reached out to rub Chen Xiao's hair: "You and Chen Chen have grown up, and Chen Chen has already married... Although he works with me , but didn’t get much extra care. I planned a path for him. How he will go in the future depends on himself. I won’t ask. It’s the same for you and me. Wan Wealth is really not as good as a skill, I hope Ziyu can be a chef...Of course, it depends on Ziyu yourself."

chef……

Zhou Ziyu was a little confused, he had never thought of being a chef.

"Then... thank you Brother Chen Mo." Zhou Ziyu was not very willing to be an apprentice cook, not because he was afraid of hardship, but because he felt that he had no future.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. We have to see if Master Jing is willing to accept you."

Learning to cook does not mean being a chef for a lifetime. There are many ways to learn about it, but Chen Mo doesn't bother to talk about it.And with this relationship, being a chef is the most promising choice...

The steamed buns in the kitchen are almost ready, Chen Mo went back and uncovered the pot, turned off the fire, and took out the steaming buns...

Chen Chen handled the formalities for his father to leave the rehabilitation center, and helped pack his things when he came back. Chen Mo and the others were washing the car in the yard.

"Dad, mom."

Chen Mo stepped forward to support Dad Chen, and Dad Chen waved his hands: "No need to help, it's done."

After sitting at home for a while, Dad Chen was about to go to the ranch...

Chen Xiao got into the Ford E350, Chen Mo drove the Porsche 918, pulled Zhou Ziyu into his car, and drove him to the R&D department of Tangxia Yipin dishes...

Master Jing's current job is to train chefs and chef assessment work for the company, and manage a high-end restaurant in Twin Peaks...

The matter of the Chef Academy cannot be finalized in a short period of time. It is normal for the decision to establish it to be delayed for a year and a half until the official start of work.

I called Master Jing. He was teaching in the food research and development department of Twin Peaks. Chen Mo brought Zhou Ziyu over and introduced him to Master Jing: "Master Jing, this is my younger brother. I want him to learn cooking from you. .”

Jing Chenghong frowned, pinched Zhou Ziyu's wrist and the muscles in his hands: "Learning to cook is very hard, you have to really like it, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve anything. The muscles in your hands are a little weak, and you can't do it." Okay..." Jing Chenghong said and looked at Zhou Ziyu: "The chef world also has rules and regulations. If you want to worship me as a teacher, at least offer me three cups of good tea. Hahaha..."

"Thank you, Master Jing." Chen Mo clasped his fists and smiled.

Zhou Ziyu also said, "Thank you, Master Jing."

Chen Mo patted him on the head lightly: "Now I've changed my words, call me Master."

"Thank you, master." Zhou Ziyu said awkwardly.

"We'll see if you can be my apprentice." Jing Chenghong waved his hand: "Have you ever had any background as a chef?"

"No." Zhou Ziyu said awkwardly.

"Then...you will have to suffer in the future. Learning art from me is not an easy job. Mr. Chen, if one day this baby can't bear the hardship and runs away, don't blame me."

"Be able to endure hardships, and be able to become a master. If I can't bear this little hardship, I will not have this brother. Anyway, I have no blood relationship with him..." Chen Mo shrugged and gave Zhou Ziyu a threatening look.

"I promise to follow the master to learn the craft."

"Everyone will say good things, but few can do it." Chen Mo looked at Zhou Ziyu: "Whether it is a mule or a horse, I will naturally know in the future. This Master Jing is a master of state banquets, a master of the eight major cuisines in China, and Tang Xia Yipin The director of the company's kitchen, who manages the kitchens of hundreds of restaurants in the company...Master Jing is willing to accept you, you really need to study hard. Otherwise..."

Only then did Zhou Ziyu put away his contempt for chefs and step into the world of chefs. With such a master, it should be said that he has reached the sky in one step?

Jing Chenghong laughed and said: "Don't worry, I will train him well. Zhou Ziyu, when I drink your three cups of good tea, when will you change your name to me as a master. My requirements for my apprentice are very strict." ..."

"Master Jing, Zhou Ziyu will be counting on you from now on. I don't know when I can come here to work."

"I'll give the HR department a call. After registering with the HR department, I can come over at any time."

"Then trouble you."

"No trouble." Master Jing shook his head and made an invitation: "Go in and have a seat."

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

The dish research and development department is also the chef training base of Tangxia Yipin.

Even the head chef of a restaurant will come to learn.Ordinary chefs have to pass the assessment here, and apprentices and errands in various restaurants who want to become chefs have to pass the training and assessment here.

Tangxia Yipin is developing very fast, especially the back kitchen, without much precipitation.

There are Chinese, white, black, and Mexican people who come to the R&D department for training and assessment.

There is a dining room, a small kitchen, a large kitchen, and a kitchen.

The small kitchen is where apprentice cooks stay, and there are more than [-] people in it, all peeling potatoes with chef's knives.

The peeled potatoes will be sent to various restaurants and hot pot restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area.In addition to peeling potatoes, there are also lettuce peeling, shredded potatoes, shredded lettuce, etc., mainly to train chefs to control the chef's knife...

For example, in the Los Angeles area, special machines are used to peel potatoes.

Peel potatoes in the morning and practice knife skills and carve radishes, pumpkins, etc. in the afternoon.

There is basically no salary for training here, but the training places here have been robbed.After going out from here, the minimum monthly salary you can get is 5000 US dollars.Looking at the performance of the restaurant at the end of the year, there is also a bonus share...

The training space is limited, and most of the people who can come here for training cherish the present opportunity very much. Seeing Master Jing and the others come in, they all speeded up their actions.

"It's not easy to be a chef. Especially as a Chinese chef, you have to learn the basic knife skills for a long time."

The small kitchen is where the apprentice is, the dining room is where the chef is at the table, or the chef of the small restaurant.

There are not only chef courses, but also kitchen management courses.Tangxia Yipin expanded too fast before, especially the appointment of chefs in small restaurants. Some restaurants are not reasonable and need to be reassessed...

The content of the assessment is not only about culinary skills, but more importantly, the assessment of the individual's comprehensive ability and whether he is qualified for the position of head chef.

The cooking room is also called the chef's room. It is a place where the chefs of the company's major restaurants learn and make progress together. They develop new dishes together and formulate a fixed process for gourmet cooking...so that Chinese food can be "assembled" like Western food. 'cooking.
