As soon as the boss said it, the matter was basically a done deal.
Although the back kitchen is not large and the number of service staff is not as large as that of the front office, the interpersonal relationships are equally complex.
The chefs, headed by Yao Shi and assisted by Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu, formed two evenly matched small groups.
Zhao Meng is protected by Yao Shi, and Gu Yunwu is protected by his boss. The two usually have a normal working relationship, which is fine on the surface.
As long as it involves the allocation of work for the kitchen staff, there will definitely be a fight.
Now the boss has said that he will promote another chef from the back kitchen in the future.
Then this person must be selected from those who have been made regular.
This means that the two people who have been appointed as regular staff need to rely on their own efforts to eventually compete to become the new chef.
In one sentence, a small matter turned into a big deal.
...
When Yao Shi came back from the meeting, he immediately called Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu together for a small meeting.
After hearing the boss's decision, the two of them cursed in their hearts at the same time.
Dong Juntian, this black-hearted old fox!
This abacus is so precise!
It is said that we are promoting a chef, but actually we are trying to mobilize the energy of the entire kitchen staff.
After all, which party the new chef comes from will affect Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu's status and voice in the kitchen in the future.
In order to compete for this position, the two parties will completely break the original harmonious relationship between the kitchens.
Gu Yunwu frowned, secretly comparing Yao Yihang and Fu Yu.
Apart from not being as handsome as Fu Yu, Yao Yihang is much better than Fu Yu in terms of cooking skills and cooking experience.
Comparing the two, the position of the chef will definitely fall to Yao Yihang in the end.
When one of your own is promoted, everything will definitely be smoother in the future, whether it's work or other things.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunwu frowned.
Adding a chef is not a bad thing.
Zhao Meng was worried.
He was quite familiar with Fu Yu's strength.
The foundation is very solid, but I lack cooking experience.
Although he is very talented, he lacks technical training.
If he competes with Yao Yihang, he has little hope.
But there is a contingency in everything.
What if Fu Yu's fortune changes and the blind cat encounters a dead mouse and gets the chef's promotion target?
Zhao Meng frowned. If this was the case, it would be even more troublesome.
If Fu Yu is just a small worker, then when he resigns in the future, he can ask Yao Shi to help take him away directly, and no one can fault him.
But if Fu Yu is promoted to chef, and he wants to transfer people away at that time, the meaning will be completely different.
Seeing that the apprentice he had trained through so much hard work was about to be left behind in Chollima.
Zhao Meng was unwilling but helpless.
He was thinking about how he should help Fu Yu compete for this chef position.
At least the fat water cannot flow into outsiders' fields.
Whether it works or not, we have to fight it out.
Yao Shi actually thinks the boss's idea is feasible.
Fu Yu is indeed very talented and has a good personality.
If he is trained well, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the music restaurant in the future and become Zhao Meng's successor, and he will be able to save a lot of worry.
But if he stays with Qianlima, he might not be able to replace Zhao Meng, and he can still be his helper in the future.
The three people have their own thoughts.
Yao Shi explained the boss's words and mentioned the assessment.
"Today is the 29th, and the day after tomorrow will be the 31st. I don't think we should delay it any longer. We might as well just set it on the 31st, and then let the competitors compete in time for the shift handover."
"Lao Zhao, Lao Gu, you will be the judges, and I will invite the boss over. If anyone else wants to come over and watch, we will entertain them together."
Yao Shi said so, Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu could only nod in agreement.
After the meeting, the two of them conveyed the contents of the meeting to their subordinates.
Zhao Meng told the people below him the news.
All the workers were shocked.
The chef actually wants to train and promote a chef?
This is going to change!
Fu Yu was equally surprised.
While he was helping the cook, with no outsiders around him, Fu Yu asked Zhao Meng in a voice that could only be heard between the two of them: "Chef Zhao, did the boss really say that?"
Zhao Meng also whispered: "The boss did say that, but when he mentioned you, it was completely smooth. Didn't he also emphasize in the end that you should be trained well before selection."
Fu Yu couldn't help but said: "Being able to mention me smoothly means that I have left a deep impression on the boss! Chef Zhao, it seems that we will soon be on equal footing!"
Zhao Meng suddenly became angry!
Be obedient and listen to the sounds, do you understand?
What time is it now?
When he looked up, he saw Fu Yu's face looked astonishingly funny, but his anger was extinguished.
Zhao Meng said angrily: "I hope you can get this promotion opportunity. Originally, the two regular quotas were reserved for you and Yao Yihang. It was said to be an assessment, but in fact it was just a matter of appearance. But it is different now. This assessment will directly affect your chances of being promoted to chef."
Zhao Meng turned around and looked at Gu Yunwu, and whispered: "This time you can show your face in front of the boss, it is an opportunity, you must seize it."
Fu Yu nodded, knowing that what Zhao Meng said was reasonable.
However, this also shows that the favorability value is still quite important.
Zhao Meng looked at Fu Yu: "You two must not be careless in your competition this time. You must conduct on-site cooking during the assessment."
"I listen to Chef Yao, and for the sake of fairness, I am going to let you prepare a special dish yourself, and the boss will come up with a topic and improvise on the spot."
Fu Yu suddenly felt mixed emotions.
He is not afraid of preparing special dishes.
Among his current personal skills is [Stewed: 500/500 Advanced], which he got from Zhao Meng. When the time comes, he can definitely compare to Yao Yihang by choosing any stewed dish.
But beyond that.
He no longer has any personal skills that he can use.
The feel of the face case is intermediate.
Advanced dessert cooking.
It looks awesome, but it’s useless to use!
He is a chef in the red case, no matter how powerful the white case is, he has no use for it!
Fu Yu frowned and discussed with Zhao Meng: "Chef Zhao, I'm going to make a better stew. How about you go out the back door with Chef Yao and ask him to turn his back on the boss? If you want to improvise, let him make a stew as well." chant?"
Zhao Menghu stared: "Are you dreaming? Who do you think you are? Besides, you have only cooked stew a few times? You are the best at it! I think you can just cook a pot of seafood porridge by then. You can practice anyway." I cooked several pots and the results were pretty good.”
Fu Yu was stunned: "Is seafood porridge considered a vegetable?"
Zhao Meng was speechless: "That's bullshit! Okay, don't talk nonsense, there will be an exam the day after tomorrow. From now on, you follow me and practice spooning. After all, it will be useless if you don't sharpen your weapon in battle!"
Fu Yu nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely learn from you."
Zhao Meng said sincerely: "This can be considered an opportunity. If I can be promoted to a chef, that would be great."
From being a small worker to becoming a full-time employee, and then being promoted to chef, it would take less than ten or eight years under normal circumstances. It is simply impossible.
Dong Juntian suddenly made such a move, it might not be a good opportunity.
Zhao Meng asked himself, even if Fu Yu really followed him to the music restaurant in the future, he could not guarantee that he would really promote Fu Yu as the chef within three to five years.
Zhao Meng sighed and said: "This assessment is actually quite unfair. Yao Yihang has rich experience and can be said to have every advantage."
"You have only been in the industry for a short time, and you are usually busy in the kitchen, so you don't have many opportunities to practice. Alas...it's too late to say anything now. From now on, you can just follow the kitchen."
Fu Yu felt warm in his heart and nodded: "Okay, Chef Zhao."
