In fact, Zhang Jinyu did not catch up with the good times.
If Fu Yu is usually in a good mood, he will often give random advice during the cooking process.
Whether it’s about the ratio of seasonings, the control of heat, or the plating techniques.
Those are all experiences he gained during his own practice, which are enough to benefit people a lot.
But Fu Yu seemed calm and calm now, but in fact, he was already in a mess inside.
The cell phone in his pocket was turned up to its maximum volume and vibrated to ensure that he would be aware of any news as soon as it came.
But how long have you been busy?
There was still no news from Zhao Meng.
I don’t know what the situation is like, whether anyone is okay!
If it were before he became a full-time employee, Fu Yu would have left his job and gone to the hospital with him.
But now that Zhao Meng is away, he has to handle all the food orders here.
He had to take responsibility alone and cover up this matter for Zhao Meng.
After handing over the work at hand to Zhang Jinyu, Fu Yu started cooking summer seafood soup.
This summer seafood soup is also the specialty of the store.
At the beginning, it was called swimming crab tomato soup. Later, some fresh mushrooms were added to make the soup more delicious.
Seeing that the ingredients were added, Yao Shi simply changed the name of the dish to Summer Seafood Soup. It sounded high-end, and the price naturally doubled accordingly.
Whenever I think of this incident, everyone in the store admires Yao Shi.
With his business acumen, he deserves to be rich!
Slice potatoes, blanch and peel tomatoes, and cut fresh swimming crabs into pieces and set aside.
Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, add ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, add tomatoes, turn down heat and stir-fry.
After the tomatoes release their juice, add the potato slices and continue frying.
I think the tomato juice is enough, so I add water to the pot and add crabs, mushrooms, shrimps, fish balls and other ingredients.
After the water boils, turn down the heat and cook for about ten minutes.
The soup bowl is a classic large porcelain bowl with a round mouth and wide rim. It is paired with brightly colored seafood soup, which will make people's fingers move.
Fu Yu sprinkled some mint on top of the soup to garnish it.
This was also improved by Yao Shi later. I heard that the chopped green onion was used before, but now it is replaced with mint. It looks high-end, crisp and green.
After busying himself and seeing fewer and fewer orders on hand, Fu Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Wang Yuxuan, who came to serve the dishes, couldn't help but ask: "Fu Chu, are you exhausted?"
Fu Yu smiled and said, "It's okay. I've already practiced with Chef Zhao. And he has already asked people to prepare all the dishes before. I can just use the spoon."
The waiters didn't understand the cooking process. Fu Yu didn't want too many people to know Zhao Meng's actual situation, so he dealt with it perfunctorily.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Fu Yu finally received a call from Sun Qingning.
It was said that Zhao Meng was fine, but he was suffering from potassium deficiency. Now the hospital has given him potassium supplements, and he is fine. He can go back after the infusion is completed.
Fu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just be fine.
But what’s going on with this potassium deficiency?
Fu Yu took the time to check the information on his phone during his busy schedule.
Only then did I realize that if a person is deficient in potassium, he or she will suffer from weakness in the limbs. As long as potassium is replenished in time, there will be no problem.
As for the reason why Zhao Meng was lacking potassium, Fu Yu estimated that it was because of frequent sweating.
After all, the workload in the kitchen is heavy and the temperature is high, so sweating will definitely be serious.
Once the human body sweats a lot and sweats frequently, it will lead to excessive excretion of potassium.
Coupled with the usual lack of potassium supplementation, potassium deficiency will occur over time.
Fu Yu thought about going out to buy some bananas and oranges during meal time, and then watching Zhao Meng eat one every day.
Before, everyone was busy working and news spread slowly.
After dinner time, everyone gathered together to eat. The news that Zhao Meng suddenly fell ill in the back kitchen spread instantly throughout the back kitchen, and even the people in the front office got the news.
The kitchen is always the most well-informed place in the store.
If something really happened to Zhao Meng this time, it would be very difficult for him to clarify the matter in the future if these people all talk about it.
Unlike other industries, chefs have health as their top priority.
Once something goes wrong, the impact will be huge.
This is something Fu Yu tried his best to defend, fearing that others would follow their opinions and affect Zhao Meng's reputation.
Fortunately, Fu Yu responded in time. When those people passed the message, they did not talk nonsense. Instead, they picked up what Fu Yu said and only said that Zhao Meng had a headache due to low blood sugar and went back to the room to rest temporarily.
Especially after dinner, many people saw Fu Yu hurriedly went outside to buy two bags of fruit and delivered them to the dormitory.
They all thought Fu Yu bought it to supplement Zhao Meng's blood sugar.
Someone else kindly offered an idea: "We have plenty of this fruit in the store, why are you spending so much money?"
Fu Yu smiled and said nothing.
There is indeed fruit in the store, but it’s okay to eat one once in a while. If you eat it every day, will you be looked at?
As a chef, Zhao Meng must lead by example.
Fu Yu was very attentive in protecting Zhao Meng.
Yao Shi came back after settling in at the hospital.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Yao Shi immediately explained to the others.
"Chef Zhao was busy rushing orders the past few days. In just three days, he completed more than thirty tables. His body couldn't bear it anymore, so he collapsed from exhaustion. But even though he was exhausted, he still persisted. The work of the kitchen was arranged in an orderly manner, without delaying the serving of food, and without affecting the order taking in the store..."
Everyone saw how busy Zhao Meng had been here and sighed after hearing this.
Not to mention receiving more than 30 orders in three days, it was difficult enough for them to stand in front of the stove for three consecutive shifts!
In those days, no one on Zhao Meng's side could take time off, because they were too busy.
They were all like this, and it was clear how much pressure Zhao Meng was under.
Zhao Meng must be really exhausted!
When Fu Yu returned to his dormitory after get off work in the evening, Zhao Meng had already returned.
He was lying on the bed alone, and there were two boxes of medicine, several bags of fruit, and a carton of milk on the cabinet next to him.
"How's it going? Is there nothing going on in the kitchen?"
"It's okay. You've already arranged the food preparation. I can just go straight to the stove and cook. Besides, there aren't many orders today. They're basically small banquet noodles. I'm not too busy."
Fu Yu said, putting the bananas and oranges he bought on the windowsill, taking an orange, sitting next to the bed and peeling them.
Zhao Meng was relieved: "That's good.
"But, Chef Zhao, what's going on with your body? You're fine but you're still lacking potassium? What did the doctor say? Is it serious?"
Zhao Meng smiled and said, "Hey, it's nothing serious. I think it was when I was sick. I just had no strength all over my body. After the doctor checked, he prescribed a set of infusions and only ordered half a bottle. I'm fine."
