Although he is the chef in name, in the kitchen, whenever Zhao Meng is away for business, Fu Yu basically makes all the arrangements.
The people below all agreed that Fu Yu was the second-in-command here, and when Zhao Meng was away, Fu Yu had the final say.
Although he doesn't have much power, Fu Yu no longer cares about preparing vegetables and pickling side dishes.
There is no need to go to the storage room at a fixed time every day, let alone go to the warehouse to take stock of the storage status of the ingredients.
His time is relatively free. Most of the time, he is very busy only during lunch and dinner time.
For example, in the morning and afternoon, when there are relatively few customers entering the store, they all use their words to arrange for others to do work, assign matters, and after the final food preparation and stocking are completed, they check the completion status, etc.
But when it comes to dinner, if Zhao Meng is temporarily unable to take charge of the dishes, he will be responsible for basically all the large orders and difficult dishes.
However, with Sun Qingning beside him to help, he could stay busy even if he was busy.
Zhao Meng came back from the front hall and asked for his order form.
Fu Yu casually left three more ordering orders for the table: "I've already made these three, so just keep them."
Zhao Meng was very pleased.
Fu Yu has always been like this, rushing to do all the heavy and tiring work. How can a leader not like such subordinates?
They say he is biased, but with such a sensible, obedient, talented and motivated subordinate, who can control his bias?
After carefully looking at the uncooked dishes, Zhao Meng tore off a few of them and handed them to Sun Qingning.
"It's too tiring to cook these dishes. Come on."
Sun Qingning subconsciously reached out and took it, then suddenly thought, it's not right!
"Chef Zhao, I protest. I have an opinion. I'm tired of being a spooner. You can't do this to me..."
Zhao Meng said, "I know, what next?"
Sun Qingning: "..."
For a moment, I was speechless and choked.
That's right...
Then what?
It seems that I can't find any reason!
Sun Qingning couldn't help but sigh, okay...
When Zhao Meng saw Sun Qingning being lazy, he felt angry and couldn't help scolding him: "If you want to improve your cooking skills, can't you do it without practicing more and getting better at it? People who play around with easy things and shirk the hard ones every day, look at Fu Yu , never complains about being miserable or tired, it’s just a day’s work, how come he is always so happy?”
Sun Qingning couldn't help turning his head to look at Fu Yu.
Although he had taken three more orders, Fu Yu didn't look tired at all. On the contrary, every time he finished cooking a dish, Fu Yu showed an excited smile on his face.
Just like cooking is such a happy thing.
If there is really no comparison, there will be no harm.
Sun Qingning felt that his ideological consciousness was indeed a bit too low.
And since Zhao Meng promoted him to the position of chief, he may have felt that he was one step closer to becoming a full-time employee, so he became a little drifting without realizing it.
This mentality is not acceptable.
How can working in the kitchen be tiring? Isn’t that how everyone gets through it step by step?
Sun Qingning turned around and looked at Fu Yu silently.
I must learn from Fu Yu. Look at this mentality of doing so much work and still being so happy!
That’s awesome!
It’s no wonder that Zhao Meng has always been particularly partial to Fu Yu. He’s capable and knows how to get into trouble. Who wouldn’t like him!
Fu Yu obviously already had a lot of ordering orders on hand, but he still thought about sharing the burden for Zhao Meng. This was no longer just flattering and trying to please the other person, but truly treating the other person as a relative. Only then could he have this Think about it!
Thinking of this, Sun Qingning's admiration suddenly rose.
"Fu Chu!" Sun Qingning couldn't help but call Fu Yu.
Fu Yu turned around
:"What?"
Sun Qingning: "I decided to work hard and start a new life from now on!"
Fu Yu looked confused: "What a mess."
Sun Qingning chuckled and said: "Chef Zhao said, let me learn from you, don't complain or complain about being tired, work hard and hone your cooking skills!"
Fu Yu nodded: "Well, you heard Chef Zhao right."
Zhao Meng was still sullen at first, but when he heard Sun Qingning's nonsensical words, he immediately lost his composure and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "While there is no time to talk nonsense, the work is done!"
Seeing that Zhao Meng's expression softened, Sun Qingning couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Fu Yu with envy: "Fu Chu, I found that you are really amazing. You work so hard every day, but you can always maintain a very good attitude. .”
Mentality?
Fu Yu smiled leisurely, made the final arrangements of the dishes on the plate, and listened to the electronic prompt ringing in his ears:
【Ding! Assist NPC Chef Zhao Meng to complete the backlog of ordering orders. Mission completion rewards: RMB +50, mission experience +20]
Why can you maintain such a positive attitude at work?
Because he has a particularly considerate system.
While working, not only can he help Zhao Meng reduce his burden, but he can also get extra rewards. Although the money is not much and the rewards are not particularly generous, it feels really great!
Makes people particularly motivated to work.
In fact, if everyone in life has such a system, maybe everyone will work hard even if they are tired, right?
...
Many of Zhao Meng's regular customers have taken over the cooking orders. He is very familiar with some of Zhao Meng's cooking habits of flavor mixing and ingredient cutting, and can imitate them very closely. .
This is also a good thing for Zhao Meng.
He has an old wrist injury and is not suitable for long periods of heavy lifting work.
So whenever there was such a cooking operation, it was handed over to Sun Qingning to complete.
However, some ingredients require strict control of heat and time, so Fu Yu needs help to take over the cooking.
However, the difference between taking orders now and before is that Fu Yu is no longer an unknown chef in the back kitchen.
Even though he was just promoted to a regular job without a specific job title, the attitude of his colleagues in the store and some customers towards him has obviously changed completely.
After all, Fu Yu has now become a chef recognized by many customers, and everyone is very satisfied with the taste of the dishes he cooks.
Therefore, when placing an order, Fu Yu is often specified to cook.
The ordering clerk sometimes comes to deliver the order and will specifically convey the customer's request:
"Fu Chu, this order form for regular customers has a note requirement. It said that the braised pork and pomfret dish I had last time was particularly delicious! I ordered this dish again this time, so you can follow the order of the dish. Just come."
"Fu Chu, the charcoal grilled oysters, the customer asked for more minced garlic, and the kind you made last time, with bigger garlic, said it tastes more fragrant!"
...
Zhao Meng was very relieved when he handed the order form to Fu Yu.
I just went to the front hall to talk to Chef Hao, which wasted a lot of time. Seeing that there was a lot of backlog of ordering orders, everyone in the back kitchen was busy, and the working atmosphere was in full swing for a while.
Fu Yu has always been methodical in his work, and Zhang Jinyu has been with him for a long time, and the two of them have developed a lot of tacit understanding.
When cooking, Zhang Jinyu could understand Fu Yu's meaning with just one look or movement.
Moreover, Zhang Jinyu had a mysterious trust in Yu.
In the process of working, no matter what Fu Yu ordered, he would immediately and unconditionally execute it.
Because he was sure that what Fu Yu said was correct.
I was so busy that I got through the peak period of customers coming to dine at noon.
After dinner in the afternoon, Zhao Meng came out of the dining room and grabbed Fu Yu: "Hey, I want to tell you something."
Fu Yu was stunned, turned around and asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Zhao Meng glanced to the side to make sure no one was passing by, and then whispered: "I saw that the way you tied knots before was quite special. Was it taught by your master?"
Fu Yu nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Zhao Meng hesitated for a moment, then said: "Well, if you have time now, how about you teach me this knotting method? After I saw it, I thought it was pretty awesome."
【Ding! NPC chef Zhao Meng’s mission: teach Zhao Meng a special knot-tying method. Mission completion reward: You can choose one of Zhao Meng’s personal skills to learn]
Fu Yu was slightly startled.
The rewards for this mission are very generous!
As long as you teach Zhao Meng how to tie knots, you can learn one of Zhao Meng's personal skills.
Isn’t this equivalent to two people learning from each other?
Not bad!
After all, even if there was no mission reward, Fu Yu would definitely not refuse Zhao Meng's request.
But if you give yourself a mission reward as an icing on the cake, you definitely can't refuse it.
Fu Yu hurriedly said: "No problem! Come on, I will teach you now."
Although the special knotting method was taught to him by Liu Yunong, it did not involve the cooking secrets of Liu's cuisine.
Just a little tip to make cooking easier.
In Fu Yu's view, this knotting method may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually quite convenient and very practical.
In the process of learning cooking operations, Fu Yu discovered that although many people pay more attention to aspects such as heat control and time control, most people only have a general understanding of how to control the heat of various ingredients when using different cooking methods. and approximate operation of time.
For example, boil hot water in a pot for a few minutes, simmer over low heat, or reduce the soup over high heat.
But in terms of more details, for example, cooking for four minutes and thirty-five seconds and five minutes and thirty-five seconds are both about five minutes, but the actual taste and effect of cooking the ingredients are different.
Many people don’t take it seriously at all!
You may think that the time difference is just a few tens of seconds. This is an insignificant thing and will not have much impact on the subsequent cooking.
After all, the operation of the two skills of fire control and time control itself is a matter without fixed standards.
When it comes to actual cooking, you have to rely on your own experience to make judgments.
After all, it is impossible for anyone to operate with a stopwatch, and it is unrealistic.
However, the difference between the chef's techniques is often reflected in these details.
After all, the same dish uses the same ingredients, the same seasonings, and the same operating steps, but there will be some differences in the taste when cooked.
Zhao Meng took the initiative to offer to learn knotting techniques. This kind of detailed operation is actually very valuable.
The two of them went back to the kitchen together, and Gu Yunwu walked over to them.
When he was about to take a break, he took an order from an old customer. He was so busy that he only found time to take a break and eat.
Gu Yunwu smiled and said, "Hey, Xiaofu, are you planning to follow your Chef Zhao to steal the master again?"
When Zhao Meng took care of Fu Yu in the past, he used to give some casual advice after dinner when there was nothing else to do.
Fu Yu heard this and smiled: "No, no, no, Chef Gu, this time it's Chef Zhao who stole from me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Meng slapped him on the back of the head.
Gu Yunwu also burst out laughing: "You kid, you are so talkative that you even dare to make jokes about Chef Zhao! But, you should learn from it, yes, Lao Zhao has many abilities."
Fu Yu nodded, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
After all, I have just come into contact with cooking operations now, and there are not many people who have reached advanced levels in various skills. I can only get by with the help of various recipes.
It’s good to brush up on personal skills with Zhao Meng if you have nothing to do...
Thinking of this, Fu Yu silently set a small goal for himself. He must work hard to polish up all of Zhao Meng's personal skills!
...
Hemp rope is commonly used for tying knots in the kitchen.
Fu Yu went to the library to get two packed hens and began to show Zhao Meng how to tie them.
The bundling began. Fu Yu picked up the hemp rope and said to Zhao Meng while operating it: "First cross the hemp rope, wrap the two ends and pull them together, then cross them, and wrap them again above the cross. At this time, if the winding If you make a mistake, the result will be a layman's flat knot, so be very careful. Look carefully and hold the rope ends at both ends like this and pull tightly."
Zhao Meng listened very carefully. When Fu Yu was operating, he also picked up the hemp rope. He did not rush to operate, but simulated Fu Yu's movements out of thin air. This could deepen his memory without affecting his observation and learning.
Fu Yu turned slightly to make it easier for Zhao Meng to watch: "Once the wrapping method is wrong, the result may be an incomplete slip knot, and the knot will fall apart when pulled hard. If the knot is pulled too tight, it will not be very tight." It is easy to untie, but if you hold the end of the rope with both hands and pull hard on both sides, you can easily untie it."
"After being tied up in this way, the chicken will easily spread out during the frying process, making it easier to shape. When the dishes are served, customers can easily untie them without affecting the shape of the whole chicken."
When Fu Yu taught Zhao Meng how to bind him, he didn't hold anything back. He spoke very carefully.
Zhao Meng has always been serious and rigorous in cooking and studied very seriously.
The binding method Fu Yu used was very novel, but it was not very difficult for him to operate.
Moreover, this bundling method is very unique, so once you master the specific operation steps, you will find that it is actually much easier to do than the ordinary bundling method.
Moreover, this binding method can not only completely fix the shape of the whole chicken, but also can be easily untied with just a slight pull when removing the rope.
Very practical and very effective.
