The other workers in the kitchen heard these two conversations and immediately looked over with gossipy faces.
This customer is too weird. One dish has to be divided into seven portions and served separately. How about playing house?
Zhao Meng was about to speak when he turned around and saw the expressions of others watching the excitement, and his face suddenly darkened: "Are you done with your work?"
After he finished shouting, the others hurriedly bowed their heads, lowered their voices, and continued their work, but their ears still stood up.
After all, everyone is curious about how the grumpy Chef Zhao would react when he encounters such a customer who is clearly looking for trouble.
Zhao Meng turned around and was about to give Fu Yu orders when he saw that he had picked out two sets of creative dishes for serving food from the dish rack next to him, seven in each set, and brought them back and placed them on the kitchen counter.
The burning fire in Zhao Meng's heart was extinguished instantly as if someone poured a basin of cold water on him out of thin air.
The chef's job is to serve customers.
No matter what incredible requests the customers make, as a chef, the only thing you can do is work hard to fulfill the customer's requests.
There is no doubt about this.
But now, the only person who has truly understood this is Fu Yu.
Zhao Meng's mood was complicated, he was both relieved and helpless.
...
Although customers asked to share their meals, they were unambiguous when ordering.
Abalone, lobster, sea urchin, scallops, whatever is expensive or delicious is available.
In the kitchen, except for the difficulty in serving the dishes, everything else remains the same.
It's just that the waiter who delivers the food has to work harder and has to make more trips back and forth.
After answering the guests at the table correctly, the ordering clerk sent several more orders one after another.
The kitchen staff are so busy that they have to wait until the restaurant closes before they can clock out and go back to rest.
Fu Yu followed Zhao Meng back to the dormitory.
The two chatted for a while and mentioned Zhao Meng's house.
Fu Yu was so amazed that he couldn't help but ask: "Chef Zhao, did you spend a lot of money on decorating your house?"
Zhao Meng thought for a while and said, "About four hundred thousand."
Fu Yu took a breath and asked in surprise and disbelief: "Since it costs so much money to decorate, why didn't you ask a housekeeping company to come over and clean it up after the decoration was finished?"
Zhao Meng said helplessly: "It's really too messy. No housekeeping company is willing to take the order."
Fu Yu: "..."
No wonder the rent is used to offset the cleaning fee.
Fu Yu originally felt that he had taken advantage of Zhao Meng and was grateful for the favor.
Now I don’t think so anymore!
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, Fu Yu got up early, packed up and sent a message to Zhao Meng, then hurriedly took a taxi to the music restaurant.
This time, Fu Yu went to the front desk and gave Yao Shi's name. He was taken to the locker room smoothly.
He still has his previous cabinet, which contains clean work clothes.
After Fu Yu changed his clothes, Yao Shi came over.
Although it had been several days since the last time he helped cook, Fu Yu came here this time without any of the previous restraint and nervousness.
He is no longer the little kitchen worker who knew nothing.
Among his personal skills, "baking", "making lotus" and "braising" have all reached the intermediate level.
And in addition, he also has two super skills: a non-stick colander and a non-burning wok.
Plus the title of Chef Rising Star and the Badge of Ingenuity.
Fu Yu feels that he is now able to easily deal with various emergencies and can take on the role of captain independently.
Maybe it's because I feel confident and my aura has become stronger.
Fu Yu followed Yao Shi to the kitchen, and met the beautiful waiter Qu Jing whom he met last time.
Qu Jing greeted politely: "Hello, boss!"
Yao Shi responded with a smile and passed by.
Qu Jing looked at Fu Yu again: "Hello, Chef Fu!"
Fu Yu smiled, nodded, and walked away.
Qu Jing was stunned for a moment and watched the two people leave, her eyes lingering on Fu Yu's back.
Why do you feel that after not seeing each other for a few days, this person seems to have changed a lot, and he seems to be carrying wind when he walks?
When he arrived at the back kitchen, Yao Shi led Fu Yu to greet the others, and then came to his exclusive kitchen counter.
Yao Shi asked: "Have you read the order form?"
Fu Yu nodded: "I've seen it."
Yao Shi circled three dishes on the order list, crossed out another dish, and said, "You prepare the dishes first, and I'll explain the division of labor to them."
Fu Yu took the menu and took a look.
Among the 15 dishes, Yao Shi chose whole duck, exquisite six-color plate, and fried crab with ginger and green onion.
The crossed out line is for delicate fruits.
The exquisite fruits are just fruit platters. There is no difficulty. The shapes are all ready-made. The chef can make a show, and the workers can follow the gourd. The work of the assembly line is directly assigned to the workers.
As for the first-grade whole duck, it is actually braised duck split into plates. Although Fu Yu has never done this, he has seen Zhao Meng split duck.
Behead, cut legs, chop into sections, no matter how you cut, make sure there are 28 pieces in total on the plate, and each piece is with the skin on.
If it had been before, Fu Yu might have been a little frightened, fearing that he might not be able to dismantle it well because he had never done it before.
But now he is not afraid anymore. He has the personal skills of an intermediate bomber. As long as he reaches out, there will be a green line to guide the disassembly position, let alone defuse the duck. If the system agrees, he feels that he can defuse the bomb.
There's nothing wrong with fried crabs with ginger and scallions.
Cleaning the crabs, removing the hearts, lungs, gills and other stolen goods and cutting them into small pieces are all done by small workers.
The chef only needs to take the ingredients and fry them directly in the pan, which basically takes ten minutes to cook. If you are quick and have a worker nearby to help beat the dry starch evenly, the pan can be ready in basically five minutes.
Among them, Fu Yu is most interested in the exquisite six-colored butterflies.
This thing is a cold butterfly side dish, usually a gift in the store, but when it comes to large-scale ordering events such as wedding banquets, it has become a serious dish.
Although the names of either Six Dishes or Eight Dishes are very similar, the corresponding dishes are completely different in each restaurant.
The exquisite six-color plate at the music restaurant has labels on the back: potato chips, blueberry, yam and bean puree, two-color donkey meat, double dragons going to sea, two-flavor deer treasure, refreshing chicken gizzards, and refreshing papaya shreds.
Fu Yu was stunned when he saw the notes on the ingredients.
These six cold dishes are simply their specialty side dishes.
Usually when a customer has booked a table and the amount of money they have spent has reached a certain amount, they will specially serve two plates to show their appreciation.
But when it comes to the music restaurant, it has suddenly transformed into a main dish that can share the table.
The ingredients have not changed, and the cooking method has definitely not changed either. So the only thing that can raise the price is probably to work on the presentation.
Fu Yu was very curious. As Yao Shi, although he couldn't see the other party's attributes for the time being because of insufficient favorability, Chef Yao's personal skill of playing loads would definitely reach a high level.
I don’t know how clever and unique his plate design will be.
Fu Yu was staring at the order list in a trance when someone next to him suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Fu Yu blurted out: "How can I learn Chef Yao's cooking skills?"
Zhang Zhen heard this and said with a smile: "It's such a rare opportunity to learn from Chef Yao."
Fu Yu was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Zhen is the chef of the music restaurant. It is really not good for him as a foreign chef to steal the chef.
But Zhang Zhen obviously doesn't mind this.
Zhang Zhen said: "I have a good way to learn, but I don't know if it is suitable or not. You can actually take a photo of Chef Yao's cooking process and keep it for later when you go back and take a look at it. Maybe you can get some inspiration somewhere. . And in addition to recording Chef Yao’s, you can also record your own cooking process. You can read it when you go back and review your own shortcomings."
When Fu Yu heard this, his eyes lit up.
Yes, this is indeed a good method.
Fu Yu said gratefully: "Chef Zhang, your idea is great! Thank you."
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Hey, what's the matter? I also watched people under my command do this, and I think it's quite effective. And I'm an old friend with you, Chef Zhao. He told me that he must do it well." Taking care of you can be regarded as a loyal thing for me to be entrusted by others."
Zhang Zhen is a veteran. His boss would bring Chollima's chef Zhao Meng over to work in the kitchen every now and then. During their conversation, the relationship between the two was obviously closer than ordinary people.
After going back and forth, Zhang Zhen had some idea, and felt that his boss obviously wanted to recruit Zhao Meng.
Zhang Zhen understood clearly, so he started to get closer to Zhao Meng intentionally or unintentionally. Now he saw Yao Shi starting to take Fu Yu with him again, and he heard that the person Fu Yu followed in Qianlima was Zhao Meng.
Zhang Zhen started to think again.
He intended to show his goodwill to Fu Yu, and now he felt happy as he watched Fu Yu accept the olive branch he handed over.
So he took the initiative and said: "I'll call a worker over for you. He's familiar with this place. If you can't find anything when preparing food, just ask him."
Zhang Zhen quickly sent a worker named Chen Cang to help Fu Yu.
Fu Yu is already an expert at preparing food.
With Chen Cang's help, he quickly found all the ingredients he needed, and deliberately memorized the specific locations of all the seasonings, and then became familiar with the styles and quantities of bowls and plates.
Yao Shi turned around and came back and told Fu Yu: "The banquet is in the afternoon. There is plenty of time. Let's make the cold dishes first. The six dishes have not been marinated yet, so let's make a whole duck first."
Fu Yu nodded: "Okay, Chef Yao."
Yao Shi put on gloves and gave Fu Yu a demonstration: "After the duck is flat, deal with the duck head first."
Take the knife.
"Then the thighs."
Take the knife.
"Wings"
Take the knife.
...
"Split it into 28 pieces in total, ensuring that the skin is attached to each piece of meat."
Yao Shi explained in detail while splitting the duck.
Fu Yu stared at Yao Shi's movements intently.
Chen Cang, a young worker who was given the important task of filming, held up Fu Yu's mobile phone and recorded the entire process.
Yao Shi finished handling a duck, put it on the plate, and said, "Fu Yu, come and try it."
【Ding! The task of NPC chef Yao Shi: complete the split and plate arrangement of the whole duck. Mission reward: RMB 50, split experience +5, mission experience +10]
Fu Yu chose to accept the task.
Wearing gloves, pick up a duck and place it on the chopping board, holding a knife in your right hand.
Start splitting.
Still dealing with the duck head first.
The Green Line showed up dutifully.
Fu Yu followed the prompts and slashed the knife neatly.
With the blessing of increased hand speed, his movements of raising and lowering the knife are both neat and graceful.
The seemingly simple start made Yao Shi's brows slowly wrinkle.
Fu Yu's technique of cutting the knife was very sophisticated, and the size was also very accurate.
Yao Shi evaluated in his mind and felt that Fu Yu's splitting method was obviously the result that could only be achieved after a lot of hard training.
The disassembly process seems simple, but the first detail has its own unique and exquisite features.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
Yao Shi pondered that Fu Yu's splitting technique was probably practiced by Zhao Meng.
After all, Zhao Meng has always attached great importance to Du Yu. He may have opened Xiao Zao alone at some point and taught him some techniques on splitting.
Thinking of this, Yao Shi felt a little relieved.
Sure enough, diligence can make up for weakness.
Although I am a newbie and my level is not up to par, I have someone to guide me carefully and practice hard. As time goes by, I will gradually master the relevant skills.
Yao Shi put Fu Yu's set of splitting operations on Zhao Meng's head.
After all, Fu Yu had only been employed for less than a year, and he could count the number of times he had served on both hands.
I have been working for decades, and I have done hundreds or hundreds of split jobs. There is no comparison at all.
But he watched helplessly as Fu Yu quickly and accurately divided the whole duck and placed it on the plate carefully and neatly.
The surprise on Yao Shi's face could no longer be concealed.
Fu Yu concentrated on completing the final arrangement under the prompts of the green line.
Fu Yu felt relieved, looked up at Yao Shi, smiled and asked, "How are you doing, Chef Yao?"
Yao Shi nodded solemnly: "Very good."
【Ding! The task of NPC chef Yao Shi: complete the splitting and plating of the first-order whole duck. It has been successfully completed and the reward is: RMB 50, splitting experience +5, task experience +10]
The phone in Fu Yu's pocket vibrated.
This is a message for bank transfer.
Fu Yu didn't have time to be happy.
He looked at Yao Shi's frown and his breath froze...
Why is Chef Yao looking like this?
Could it be that he made a mistake somewhere?
Isn't the duck on this plate 28 yuan?
Or is there duck meat without the skin?
