It was almost five o'clock.
Fu Yu still had two tables of seats in his hand that were not finished.
He hurriedly seized the time and tried to finish all the dishes on the list within half an hour, otherwise he would not be able to get off work on time.
As soon as the oil pan was heated up, Fu Yu's cell phone rang suddenly.
He took it out and took a look. It was from Yao Shi.
Fu Yu quickly answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Fu Yu, come to the boss's office right now!" Yao Shi's voice was obviously unstable and sounded urgent.
Before Fu Yu could speak, an electronic prompt suddenly sounded in his ears:
【Ding! NPC chef Yao Shi’s mission: Assist Yao Shi to prepare a birthday banquet that will move the old teacher Wu Fan to tears. Mission reward: RMB 100, mission experience +50]
Fu Yu was stunned. This was the first time he received a mission without meeting a real person.
Fu Yu chose to accept.
"Okay, Chef Yao, I'll be right over."
...
Wu Fan worked in Bei'an No. 1 Middle School. After retirement, he was hired back to the original school and continued teaching.
Although he was re-employed and became a temporary worker, the school arranged for him to receive the same treatment as before.
He is eighty years old this year.
As I got older, I really couldn’t stand on the podium, so I officially quit starting from the last semester.
He devoted his life to education.
The family originally had a son who passed away due to illness ten years ago, and his wife also passed away three years ago.
In the past, I could pass the time by teaching, but now that I have left school, life seems to have suddenly turned into a stagnant water, without any waves.
As a special teacher, he has received too many commendations and honors in his life, and the students he educates can be said to be full of students.
But this time, several students he had taught before were making arrangements to help him celebrate this precious 80th birthday.
As the saying goes, people become rarer when they reach their seventies. The old man is already eighty years old, so the students naturally value it more and want to make it more grand.
Since we want to celebrate, we must organize it well.
It was such a respected old teacher. When he was alone in his twenties, a group of students who had been taught by him and respectfully called him teacher specially found the time-honored hotel Qianlima and wanted to hold a party for him. A lively and grand birthday party.
Among these students is Gray, the boss of Jinxin Real Estate, one of the best in the city.
There is Wang Hongwei, director of the Orthopedics Department of the Central Hospital.
There is Na Yalin, the vice president of the Municipal Calligraphy Association.
There is also Ji Maojia, director of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference.
With a few of them taking the lead, things about the birthday party quickly got underway.
Originally, for a birthday party, everyone suggested going to a music restaurant. After all, the most famous local hotel that hosts large-scale banquets is the music restaurant.
It's high quality and the food is good.
However, the identities of these people are somewhat special and are not suitable for being too public.
In the end, after much deliberation, we decided to keep a low profile and set the location of the birthday party in Chollima.
The location has been decided, and all that remains is the matter of seating.
Since it is the teacher's birthday, I must order a table of the old man's favorite dishes.
It wasn't much at first. I ordered a few of the store's special dishes, which tasted good and authentic.
As a result, someone else suggested that the teacher was from Baishui. When I was a student, I heard the teacher say that he missed his hometown.
I heard that there is a kind of banquet, called the three-turn banquet, which is specially held for banquets in Baishui. If you can get such a table for the birthday banquet, the teacher will definitely be very happy.
The idea is good.
The key is that these three tables are not local specialties. Whether the chefs in Qianlima can make them is also a question.
But this issue is not something they need to consider.
The leader opened and closed his mouth and gave orders. Even if the people below him broke their legs, they still had to find a way to get things done.
So Liu Changqing, deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Office, and Wen Zhiming, deputy director of the tax bureau, rushed to the Maxima Hotel during their lunch break after receiving calls from their superiors.
These two are old customers of Maxima. They are always arranged in box 401, which is considered a high-level VIP.
They talked about the matter and threw the problem directly to Dong Juntian.
Dong Juntian was dumbfounded when he heard this.
It's good to have customers placing orders.
Someone with such a high level and status is a good thing that you can't even ask for.
But the problem is, their store has never made these three transfer seats.
There's no way I can take this order.
Dong Juntian hurriedly declined the order politely: "We can't make these three transfer banquets here! Let alone do it, we have never heard of it. This is not our local cuisine."
Liu Changqing said with a smile: "Boss Dong, please think of a way! Look, when you acquired Daewoo Mall before, didn't I help you think of a way?"
Dong Juntian choked.
If it was possible to reciprocate courtesy and help each other, he would definitely be willing to do so.
But this cooking is different from other dishes. You at least have to know what the dish looks like and how it tastes before you can cook it as it is.
Right now, I just say "Baishui's special banquet, the third transfer table" and let them arrange it in the hotel.
How to make this dish?
Isn't this embarrassing?
At this time, Wen Zhiming said calmly: "This meeting was arranged by Director Ji of the CPPCC. We have made an appointment and it is scheduled for tonight. The two of us just stopped by to help place an order. If it doesn't work, you should still Let’s talk to Director Ji.”
Squeeze up and down, that's all.
You can't afford to offend a big boss, but why can't you deal with a small restaurant owner?
Anyway, now that the words are here, it doesn't have much to do with them whether the matter succeeds or not.
The two men patted their butts and walked away in style.
Dong Juntian was left holding such a mess, not knowing what to do.
...
Chollima Hotel, in the boss's office.
Dong Juntian and Yao Shi both had sullen faces and remained silent.
They know the current situation in the store.
Zhao Meng's old illness relapsed and he couldn't stand it at all.
Gu Yunwu needs to deal with the existing order list in the store, and there will definitely be no spare time.
The only person I can count on now is Yao Shi.
Yao Shi made it clear that he would not accept the meeting and could not accept it.
It's not that he doesn't want to take it, but he has really never heard of these three transfer seats.
Let him cook a banquet that he has never heard of?
Are you kidding me?
Yao Shi calmly confronted Dong Juntian.
For the first time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Dong Juntian was a bad guy!
Just because the customer who placed the order has an identity and background, he doesn’t dare to refuse the order?
Do you understand what it means to act within your capabilities?
Without this diamond, don’t take this porcelain job!
Dong Juntian also knew that this matter was too difficult, but he really had no choice!
Among the few customers who placed orders, he could not afford to offend any of them.
Who could he refuse?
Who dare to refuse?
We all live in this world, and we never know who we will ask for at any time.
Especially since they are in the service industry, everyone who comes in is an uncle, and they all have to be taken care of!
