A big bowl of hot noodle soup, paired with two plates of refreshing side dishes.
The noodles are fragrant and full of the mundane familiarity of everyday life in the market.
I ate all the soup and water.
Zhao Meng and Yao Shi looked at each other and had the same thought in their hearts.
It’s a bit unfinished!
I'm used to having good meals and dishes in restaurants on weekdays, but now I feel extra appetizing when I eat an ordinary noodle soup out of the blue.
The customer who came here to pursue the home-cooked taste must have been tired of eating big fish and meat. Occasionally, he would indulge in a mouthful of noodles with clear soup and water to reflect on the past.
After eating, Fu Yu hurriedly cleared away the dishes.
Waiting for him to go to the dishwashing area to deliver the tableware, Yao Shi turned his head and couldn't help but said to Zhao Meng: "Old Zhao, this apprentice of yours is really brave and careful!"
Zhao Meng nodded: "This brat is just lucky. It's also a good thing that the customer didn't really want to find trouble. Otherwise, he would have been allowed to mess around like this, and he wouldn't know what would happen in the end."
Yao Shi waved his hand: "Then you are wrong. Xiaofu's cooking of the noodle soup is quite authentic, especially the plating. Did you notice it when we were in the private room? The bowl he used was not the one we usually use for plating. of those.”
Zhao Meng was stunned: "What?!"
Yao Shi pointed to the condiment bowl on the kitchen table and said: "He uses this round-mouthed white porcelain bowl. Although he is not very good at making presentations, he is very good at understanding customer psychology. Let me ask you , if you were here at that time and the customer asked for a new bowl of noodles, what would you do?"
Zhao Meng recalled what Fu Yu had said about the customer's request, and frowned: "There are no shrimps or crabs, only chopped green onion, which is very fragrant. Then I might use fish instead. Although fish is more suitable for making porridge, it is not bad for cooking noodles." , the soup is delicious and should be able to meet the needs of customers.”
Yao Shi nodded: "So, Xiao Fu is brave and careful. The customer is talking about the seafood noodles that his grandma once made. Old people never like complicated cooking. Fish and seafood are not easy to handle. It’s troublesome to make. Moreover, the seafood noodles you make are characterized by their delicious flavor, but the customer insists that they are not this kind, which means that the noodles she has eaten are not the same kind as yours.”
"Moreover, think about it, the dish he made when serving the noodles just now, from the height of the noodle soup to the weight of the noodles, as well as the decoration of dried shrimp skin and chopped green onion, don't you think he did a good job?"
Zhao Meng thought back for a moment. When he saw the noodle bowl that Fu Yu brought over, his first impression was that it was very pleasing to the eye, and the plate looked very comfortable.
Because he was accustomed to paying attention to the effect of plate presentation. After all, it was natural for the ingredients to be cooked well, so he subconsciously ignored this point.
Now that I think about it, this is really a good job!
Yao Shi said: "Real skill can be seen in the details. Xiaofu has basically mastered your technique of hitting the lotus."
Zhao Meng felt very happy in his heart and said: "Compared with me, he is far behind! But this guy is quite good at one thing. He is very down-to-earth and very talented."
Yao Shi nodded in agreement: "I think Xiao Fu is very kind and righteous. Through this incident, it can be seen that Xiao Fu protects you very much!"
Zhao Meng really couldn't suppress it this time, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "This is true, unlike those white-eyed wolves, who are heartless."
Yao Shi said sincerely: "You have a good vision and know how to select people. If I train you well, I will have someone to take over as the chef in the future."
Zhao Meng said with disgust: "It's early! The knife is being sharpened, so let him practice slowly first."
Then his voice changed and he said in a voice that could only be heard between the two of them: "I have to rely on your help to get the regular quota. This kid's family conditions are average. If he can't be regularized again, it will probably take less than two years. I have to pack up and go back to my hometown.”
Yao Shi did not agree immediately, but squinted his eyes and turned to look at the back of Fu Yu who was cleaning the kitchen utensils quickly.
Zhao Meng urged: "This opportunity is rare. If you can get it, be sure to leave a spot for me."
Yao Shi came back to his senses, glanced at Zhao Meng, and said casually: "Don't rush the matter of regularization now. Let's look at it at the end of the month!"
Zhao Meng was stunned: "What are you looking at?"
Yao Shi raised his eyebrows: "Let's see if he stays here in the future or goes to my place with you. I still have to observe this matter."
Zhao Meng was surprised: "You want to recruit him to the music restaurant?"
Yao Shi motioned him to look at Gu Yunwu not far away.
Gu Yunwu works the evening shift today and is busy cooking.
Yao Yihang was helping with the cooking quickly, and the two of them worked together in perfect harmony.
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain." Yao Shi whispered: "Leave this place to Lao Gu in the future, and it will be just right for you to go to my place. I feel more at ease with you here. If you think Xiao Fu is good, get him there too."
Yao Shi has an old relationship with the boss of Qianlima, and he will probably be tied here for the rest of his life.
But Zhao Meng is different from him.
He has good cooking skills and a reliable personality. In the future, he will help him become the back chef of the music restaurant and train him to be a reliable chef.
With these two people around, he will be able to feel completely at ease in the future.
It didn’t turn just right!
You don’t have a chance to make a choice until you become a regular employee!
Zhao Meng fell silent.
He knew that Yao Shi's suggestion was the best way out for him at the moment.
Gu Yunwu came to Qianlima earlier than him and was considered a veteran figure when the store was first established.
During holidays, Gu Yunwu is often invited to the boss’s house to get together, and they get along like a family.
Business in the store was booming, but the kitchen staff was short of manpower. He and Gu Yunwu each performed their duties without interfering with each other.
But the flowers never bloom.
Nowadays, various new concept restaurants and fast food restaurants are popping up everywhere, and the number of people coming to dine in has been significantly reduced.
Looking at the near future, the store's business will definitely show a downward trend.
If one day in the future, the chef faces the choice of layoffs, he will definitely be the first choice.
Instead of waiting for difficulties to come, it is better to follow Yao Shi's advice and go to the music restaurant in advance to become the chef.
I got a promotion, a salary increase, and I was able to work more freely.
Why not.
Zhao Meng followed Yao Shi's gaze and looked at Fu Yu who was busy working.
After becoming a chef, I must train two subordinates who are reliable and get along well with me.
Fu Yu is pretty good. The two have been working together for nearly a year and have already gotten along well.
The young man is energetic, discerning, hard-working and capable, and has the right mind. If he is well-trained in the future, he can be his right-hand man and helper.
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng's eyes were also burning.
Fu Yu quickly cleaned the kitchen utensils. When he turned around, he saw Zhao Meng and Yao Shi looking at him.
Fu Yu was stunned and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it okay to eat noodles?"
Zhao Meng: "It's okay!"
Yao Shi: "Very good!!"
【Ding! Obtain favorability from NPC Chef Zhao Meng +10]
【Ding! Obtain favorability from NPC chef Yao Shi +20]
Fu Yu: "..."
What happened?
Could it be that Zhao Meng and Yao Shi also have a grandma who makes seafood noodles at home?
Fu Yu felt that he had learned another truth about cooking.
Nostalgia is king!
