After seeing off Sun Mingze and his wife smoothly, Yao Shi turned around and walked back.
The foreman followed closely behind.
Yao Shi ordered: "Okay, the matter has been resolved, you can go and do your work."
The foreman asked carefully: "Boss, Xiao Teng was in charge of taking orders at that time. Do you need me to tell her about this?"
Yao Shi waved his hand: "No, I'll see if I have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'll try to come over and hold a meeting for everyone. Let's talk about it then."
Fu Yu and Ren Mingqing were waiting in the front hall. When they saw Yao Shi coming back, they hurried forward to greet him.
Yao Shi dismissed the foreman and said to Ren Mingqing: "Old Ren, it's been a hard time putting you through this trip. Go home quickly."
Ren Mingqing's son served in the army for three years and returned from the army today. He originally planned to go back early to celebrate, but the plan did not change quickly.
After a lot of fussing, it turned out to be completely dark, and I still hadn’t even seen my son’s face.
Ren Mingqing was not polite and nodded: "Okay, boss, I'll leave first."
Yao Shi thought of something and suddenly asked: "When your son comes back this time, do your family members have to get together?"
Ren Mingqing said with a smile: "That's for sure. Even if we don't make arrangements, my eldest brother will definitely have to make arrangements on his side."
Yao Shi warned: "When the time comes, just come to the store to do it. It will be counted as employee benefits."
Ren Mingqing was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Okay, thank you boss."
Yao Shi waved his hand: "Thank you, it's getting late, let's go."
It's past seven o'clock now, the summer is long, and it's dark now.
Ren Mingqing was no longer polite, said goodbye to Fu Yu, and left in a hurry.
Yao Shi then turned to look at Fu Yu and said sincerely: "Thanks to you today!"
【Ding! Obtain the favorability of NPC chef Yao Shi +10]
Fu Yu was a little surprised when he suddenly gained Yao Shi's favorability score.
I just don’t know if raising the favorability value to a higher level will help with the apprenticeship mission.
"Sigh..." Yao Shi sighed: "I'm really tired from all the hard work this night! Okay, let's go over to the kitchen and take a look. You're not in a hurry to go back tonight, are you?"
Fu Yu said hurriedly: "I'm not in a hurry to go back."
Yao Shi smiled: "That's good. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. How about hot pot?"
Fu Yu definitely had no objection: "Okay!"
The two went to the back kitchen to say hello, and Fu Yu followed Yao Shi to the hot pot restaurant.
Most of the chefs who are said to be good are actually gourmets at heart.
However, due to limited conditions, the quality of the delicacies we can taste is somewhat limited.
Fu Yu felt this deeply.
Whenever Zhao Meng invites guests to dinner, he likes to take him to make skewers or eat various special snacks.
Although the places I went to were relatively down-to-earth, the taste was exceptionally authentic.
When Yao Shizhang Luo invited guests to dinner, he took him to a private hot pot restaurant hidden in the suburbs.
The mutton served in the store is freshly killed on the same day, and the soup base is fried on site.
Large chunks of butter took up half the bottom of the pot.
The vegetables served on the table are all picked from vegetable gardens in the countryside, ensuring that they are green and pollution-free.
Yao Shi was not short of money, so he took the order form and asked for a bunch of special dishes in the store.
Fu Yu also saw some tricks!
When Yao Shi ordered, he didn't look at the categories or dishes. He only looked at the various restaurant specialties and boss recommendations marked on the order form.
Anyone who has ever owned a restaurant knows that the quality and taste of dishes labeled in this way are generally not too bad.
The customer orders, and as soon as the order is taken away, the bottom of the pot is served.
The chef stir-fries the ingredients and mixes the soup on the spot.
The customer drank the drinks provided by the store, including a pot of Eagle tea and a pot of iced sour plum soup.
Before the pot was even hot, the ordered dishes were already being served to the table.
Fu Yu looked at this service and thought to himself, as a human being, you still have to be rich at some point.
The mutton was mixed with beer, and the two of them talked more.
Yao Shi smiled: "Fu Yu, you really surprised me today. I never expected that you still have this skill."
Fu Yu swallowed the mutton in his mouth and said modestly: "I didn't expect this skill to be really useful."
Yao Shi asked curiously: "Where did you learn this? School?"
The chef school is divided into majors, and the white case and the red case each learn their own thing, so there is no time to mix the two.
Fu Yu said nonsense: "Oh, no, maybe I am more talented in this area. I saw others doing it before, so I remembered it."
Yao Shi: "..."
Yao Shi suddenly felt offended.
Fu Yu was given a glass of beer.
The two of them chatted while eating.
Let’s talk about what happened tonight.
Yao Shi couldn't help but complain: "There are many things to do in business, and there are even more things to pay attention to when doing catering."
Fu Yu couldn't help but ask: "Chef Yao, you said you're not short of money. You run such a large business. Why don't you resign? Aren't you tired from juggling both ends of the day?"
Yao Shi stopped picking up the food and suddenly said with a smile: "Fu Yu, you are the first person to ask me this question."
"I must be tired from taking care of both ends, but I can't help it. I can't let go of either job."
He didn't know if it was because he was drunk, or because he was disturbed by Shoudao's incident that night, but Yao Shi suddenly felt the urge to spit it out.
However, this thought was only fleeting, and as soon as it came up, he suppressed it.
Yao Shi looked at the young and handsome Fu Yu sitting opposite, and through the hot air, he seemed to see himself in his youth.
So, he smiled and said: "The music restaurant was invested and run by me, so I definitely can't let it go. As for Chollima, I need to make arrangements for the kitchen, and I definitely can't get away from it. "
"But actually I want to resign. It's not impossible, but I'm a little reluctant to do so."
"When I came back to learn cooking from the master, I originally wanted to visit relatives and stay for a while. But my boss came to visit me and asked me to come to the hotel to help manage the kitchen."
"At that time, I actually had the qualifications and had pretty much practiced my cooking skills. It was no problem if I wanted to go it alone. But if I had no connections or channels and wanted to go it alone, I would have to start from scratch. And what about the prospects? It all depends on luck.”
Yao Shi put down his chopsticks, poured himself a glass of beer, and continued: "That's why I chose to come to Chollima to be the chef. As a well-known time-honored restaurant in Bei'an City, Chollima has become my source of connections and capital background."
"If the customers and friends I know now don't value me as Chollima's chef and I do have some skills, who would think highly of me?"
"The reason why I can successfully run a music restaurant is because I took advantage of the platform of Chollima Hotel, developed my own contacts and channels, accumulated funds, and learned all the hotel management skills. Then I learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and when I joined, I Only the knowledge and experience gained from the Music Restaurant Headquarters can the Music Restaurant be stably operated in a short period of time."
Yao Shi looked at Fu Yu and said sincerely: "Why am I telling you this today? I just hope you can understand that the chef industry is really developing, whether it is for your future connections or channel expansion. It will help you. As for Chollima Hotel and Music Restaurant, these two platforms are enough for you to learn and accumulate experience for at least ten years."
"You are very talented, which is a good thing, but at the same time, you must keep yourself grounded. After all, all the resources and connections you have accumulated here will be helpful here, but they may not be available elsewhere. It belongs to you and will help you."
After Fu Yu graduated from chef school, he directly applied for the job of Chollima's back chef.
Regarding my future career plan, I originally just worked hard to become a regular employee and strive to take root in Bei'an.
In fact, he doesn't understand many people's ways of the world, and he has never had any real contact with them.
Yao Shi's words tonight inspired him a lot and made him feel as if his horizons had broadened.
Talking to smart people can be pleasant and relaxing if the interests of each other are not involved.
Yao Shi looked at Fu Yu's expression of enlightenment and took a sip of beer with a smile.
I think this feeling of teaching and educating people is quite good.
The two of them ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.
When he was about to check out, Yao Shi received a call from the staff responsible for taking orders at the music restaurant.
After hearing what the other party said, Yao Shi frowned a little and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand. I will try to find time to go there tomorrow, and we will make arrangements then."
Yao Shi hung up the phone and sighed.
Fu Yu asked with concern: "Chef Yao, are you okay?"
Yao Shi took a sip of beer and said, "It's nothing. It's just a menu for an engagement banquet that was ordered before, and the customer requested to adjust the dishes."
Fu Yu was stunned: "It's all ordered, can I still change it?"
Yao Shi snorted coldly: "It's okay to pay more, but their request is a bit difficult to handle, and the dishes they ordered are not very common. Anyway, I have never done it before."
"Then... what should I do?" Fu Yu asked.
Yao Shi frowned: "If it doesn't work, we can only look for connections and see if any of the more experienced chefs in this city can do it. But... this customer's identity is quite special. It is said that my ancestors are from the 'Guarjia' family, the family tradition is very traditional, and the dishes they order are also the characteristics of their family..."
"If anyone can do it...you don't have to worry about this..."
Fu Yu: "!"
Ouch!
Why does this customer's information sound familiar?
