Customers at the same table continued to add dishes, ordering in a hurry and ordering so much that they almost disrupted the cooking rhythm of the kitchen.
Zhao Meng himself had other orders on hand, including one for regular customers, which almost delayed things!
The cook who was following him was frightened and did not dare to express his anger, for fear that Zhao Meng would be upset and anger him again.
After all, customers adding dishes often happen, and the kitchen must respond in a timely manner.
As for how to arrange the cooking sequence at hand, the chef needs to find a way to arrange and adjust it.
Fortunately, Fu Yu was there to help.
Zhao Meng and Fu Yu had a tacit understanding between each other. They glanced at each other's order-taking table, quickly exchanged cooking dishes, and finally successfully handled this large banquet order with non-stop additions of dishes.
In fact, Zhao Meng can handle this situation himself, it's just that the gap between serving dishes is slightly longer.
The business in the store is already very prosperous, and it won't have much impact if customers wait for a while.
But the kitchen definitely wants to be perfect so that customers can have a very satisfying dining experience.
The most difficult order for the large banquet was completed, and it neither delayed the serving nor affected the taking of orders. Zhao Meng and Fu Yu exchanged glances, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The little workers who were helping the kitchen next to them were also very happy. This time they didn't have to worry about being angered, and their work seemed to be easier.
A sudden incident of adding a large amount of food allowed all the interns present to experience the working life in the kitchen. They also clearly realized that the next two months they were about to face were not the usual ones in school. That kind of relaxed and comfortable environment.
Instead, we provide real service to customers and need to deal with various situations.
If you are not careful, it will cause dissatisfaction from the leadership and complaints from customers!
For a while, several people were busy working while feeling filled with emotions in their hearts.
In just a few hours, I personally experienced the busy life in the kitchen and witnessed the importance of the chef's work in the restaurant!
When they saw the order sheets torn off from the kitchen wall, they suddenly realized that the order sheets did not simply symbolize commissions and wages, but a customer's preference for restaurant dishes. and evidence of preference.
This expectation and trust are the potential motivation for the chef’s hard work!
At this moment, they clearly realized that they were the real pillars of the hotel!
But if they want to truly support the reputation of a restaurant's dishes, they still have a long way to go!
However, even if their abilities are still very weak now, they will eventually become chefs in a certain place and cook dishes that satisfy customers.
Because they are learning to be chefs.
Cooking is a practice that they need to practice repeatedly.
This is their job, their mission and their vocation!
It is the career they choose for themselves, which comes from their love for life.
...
During meal time, the kitchen is never free.
Zhao Meng had an early shift today, and when he was about to get off work, an old customer of Fu Yu happened to come in and place an order.
This is really Fu Yu's regular customer. After he takes orders independently, whenever this customer comes to the restaurant to dine, he will specifically name Fu Yu to cook.
This person's order list always consisted of randomly ordering two of the restaurant's special dishes, and then he made a note to ask Fu Yu to watch the dishes being served.
Fu Yu took the order form and looked at it, and recognized that this old customer was the anorexic teenager who had been cheering him up.
After interacting with him a lot, Fu Yu already had some basic understanding of the boy's dietary preferences.
Therefore, it is said that the results of the several times of cooking are good. The reason why the boy suffers from anorexia is due to excessive study pressure. Now after treatment by a psychiatrist, the disease has obviously improved.
Fu Yu went to the front hall to visit him last time. The young man seemed to be in good spirits, and his mother didn't look as sad as before.
Because they knew each other, Fu Yu specifically asked the waiter to give them the internal employee discount price.
It is said to be a discount price, but in fact, the dishes ordered are not many, and if the consumption does not reach a certain amount, it is not much cheaper at all.
However, what they wanted was this kindness. At least the mother and son were obviously very pleased with it. They seemed particularly happy at the time, and their attitude towards Fu Yu became more and more warm.
When Fu Yu took the order, Zhang Jinyu happened to bring the prepared dishes and put them on the kitchen table.
Fu Yu turned around and saw the person, and casually ordered: "Jinyu, go to the white eucalyptus to get some hawthorn cake, fruit peel, hawthorn jam, and hand-rolled noodles into thin strips. Oh, by the way, let me send you two cream crabs and eight crabs from the front." Fresh shrimps, a pound of yellow croaker, medium-sized fish, and a handful of chives!"
Zhang Jinyu responded: "Okay! Chef Fu, give me the order."
This long list of food preparations can be difficult to remember sometimes if you don't follow the list.
Fu Yu posted the order form on the kitchen wall: "The customer didn't order. I prepared it myself. You prepare it as I told you."
Zhang Jinyu understood it as soon as he heard it. He quickly turned around and rubbed a few workers in a circle. He happened to see Sun Mingze cutting a pot of potatoes and standing up to take a rest, so he called out and called the people over.
Zhang Jinyu quickly took out a pen and paper from the pocket of his work clothes, wrote down a few ingredients, and ordered: "Xiao Sun, go to Baigu and get back the things on the list."
Sun Mingze agreed, picked up the list and went to get the things.
After a while, after bringing everything back, Sun Mingze hurried over to find Zhang Jinyu.
Zhang Jinyu had just come back from fishing for seafood. He turned around to check the ingredients that Sun Mingze had brought back, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, let's put it there."
Sun Mingze stumbled over, put the things away, and then came over to take over the seafood that Zhang Jinyu had caught.
Zhang Jinyu was worried and followed him to deal with it together.
Sun Mingze was half flattering and half serious: "Brother Zhang, you are so awesome! I never knew it was so difficult to prepare food."
Zhang Jinyu was handling yellow croaker. Hearing this, he was stunned and asked with a smile: "What's so difficult about preparing food?"
Sun Mingze grinned: "You have to prepare so many things at one time. If Chef Fu says it once, I think you can remember it. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it."
Zhang Jinyu laughed when he heard this: "That's because you just came here and are not familiar with the dishes. In fact, after working for a long time, you have understood the process of cooking all the dishes. When the time comes, as long as you know which dishes the chef is preparing to cook, , and then just prepare the dishes according to the order list."
Sun Mingze said in surprise: "But I clearly saw that Chef Fu posted the order form on the kitchen wall."
Zhang Jinyu explained: "Oh, the order just now was for Chef Fu's exclusive regular customer order. This customer has a special status. He usually comes to dine and orders two of the store's special dishes. Chef Fu will help with the other dishes. Decide.”
Sun Mingze suddenly expressed admiration: "So that's it, Fu Chu is so awesome!"
Zhang Jinyu nodded in agreement and whispered: "That's right, let me tell you, in our back kitchen, apart from Chef Yao, our boss, and Chef Gu, the most awesome one is Chef Fu!"
】
After saying that, the two brothers put their hands on Sun Mingze's shoulders and patted him: "You are so lucky to be assigned to Chef Fu. Follow him and learn from him. This is an opportunity that no one can hope for!"
Sun Mingze turned to look at Fu Yu, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, okay!"
Sun Mingze followed Zhang Jinyu, cleaning up the seafood together, and then took the initiative to help organize the dishes and take over the cooking chores.
Zhang Jinyu had been working as a laborer, and later he worked as a cook beside Fu Yu. This was the first time that someone helped him, and it was very useful for a while.
Seeing Sun Mingze pouring oil and watching Fu Yu cooking, he didn't stop him and happily went to prepare the dishes and put them on the plate.
Fu Yu was going to make the candied cherry dish for his anorexic old customer, but the method couldn't be exactly the same. After all, this was his special skill in medicinal cuisine.
Fu Yu simplified the cooking method. Although the method and taste are almost the same, the presentation style is an improved version of cherry meat.
The finished product is a hawthorn jam ball wrapped in sugar, but with some Longli fish filling added inside.
It tastes sweet and sour with a hint of the unique aroma of Longli fish. It is very special and refreshing. And the most important thing is that the portion in one plate is very small, and the Longli fish balls are very delicate and small.
According to the boy's preference, Fu Yu made additional decorations and arrangements.
A cluster of blanched broccoli, a few mint leaves, and a combination of red and green are always the most harmonious and the most festive-looking effect.
In addition, Fu Yu also made a bowl of noodles.
He was just starting to shake the noodles when Sun Qingning turned around and looked at him with a clear expression: "Fu Chu, is your old customer here again?"
Fu Yu nodded: "Cook something different for him today. I hope I can coax him to eat more."
Sun Qingning immediately became energetic: "Really? Let me see!"
He first glanced at the plate Zhang Jinyu held in his hand: "Hey, what kind of dish is this?"
Fu Yu replied casually: "Oh, improved version of cherry meat."
Sun Qingning praised: "It looks so beautiful. What about these noodles? Do you also make fruit and vegetable noodles?"
Fu Yu shook his head: "No, it's rare to be a Taoist!"
In fact, he hasn't made this kind of noodles in a serious way for a while, but his gestures are still proficient.
It didn't take much effort, and a bowl of green noodle soup was ready.
The soup base is made of chicken stock, with mushroom slices and ham slices added for freshness, and it exudes a strong onion aroma.
When I picked up the kuaizi, there was not a single noodle in sight. It was just a green scallion tube with the head and tail cut off. When I took a bite, I realized that the noodles were all stuffed into the scallion tube. It tasted fragrant and left an endless aftertaste.
It's a simple bowl of noodles, but the soup base is freshly boiled, and the noodles have to be stuffed into the onion tubes one by one. It's laborious and laborious, and it shows that a lot of effort has been put into it.
As soon as this noodle came out of the pot, it immediately caused a small sensation.
After Fu Yu poured out a bowl alone, he divided the rest into several small bowls, with only two or three green onion tubes in each bowl.
This was specially set aside for Zhao Meng and others to have a try.
Zhao Meng took it, picked it up with a quick pick and looked at it, raising his eyebrows slightly: "This is wonderful!"
Then he chewed it carefully and tasted it, and praised: "It's delicious!"
Sun Qingning and Zhang Jinyu smacked their lips happily.
“It smells so good!”
"This is actually noodles? I never expected it!"
Fu Yu glanced at Sun Mingze, who was drinking oil next to him, and saw the little fat man with a salivating expression on his face. He was staring eagerly at the few people tasting the noodles, and couldn't help but smile: "Jinyu, go and take a look at it for Xiao Sun, let me He also came over to have a taste.”
Zhang Jinyu turned to look at Sun Mingze and said, "Okay!"
But I sighed in my heart that this little fat man was quite lucky.
He replaced Sun Mingze and came over to try the noodles.
Sun Mingze was so surprised that he came over to take the noodle bowl and thanked Fu Yu repeatedly: "Thank you, Chef Fu! I just looked at this noodle and I was so greedy!"
Fu Yu smiled, turned around and continued working.
Sun Mingze looked at Fu Yu with more and more admiration in his heart.
Although no one had said it, he could see that Fu Yu seemed to be very good to the people around him, and this person really had no airs at all.
The dishes cooked by Fu Yu were brought to the private room in the front hall by the waiter.
A simple meal of four dishes, one soup and one staple food.
One dish and one staple food are specially made for teenagers, and the other three dishes and one soup are the special dishes of the store.
The mother and son who were dining were already familiar with the dishes in the store.
As soon as you see the plate layout, you can accurately tell which two dishes Fu Yu cooked for the boy.
The young man's mentality has obviously improved a lot now, and he doesn't show any displeasure when he sees the various dishes in front of him.
He first carefully looked at the dishes in front of him. At this time, what he cared about was not whether the dishes tasted good, but about Fu Yu.
He called the waiter and asked: "Hello, I would like to ask, your kitchen staff must be very busy at this time, right?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and said truthfully: "Yes, the business in the store was good this time last year, but now it's meal time again, and the kitchen is very busy."
The boy was obviously disappointed. He turned to his mother and said, "That's it. Are we not going to see anyone today?"
His mother said in a very gentle manner: "It doesn't matter. Let's eat first and wait until we finish."
The young man nodded and turned his attention back to the dishes in front of him.
...
Fu Yu had no idea what was happening in the front office. He was concentrating on taking orders.
Not long after, a waiter came over.
"Fu Chu, can you take some time to go to the front desk?"
Fu Yu was stunned: "What's wrong? What happened?"
The waiter said: "The customer from box 213 just now said he wanted to see you."
It turned out to be the anorexic boy.
but......
"They want to see me? Did they tell me what happened?" Fu Yu asked strangely.
Waiter: "I don't know, they didn't tell me."
Fu Yu glanced at the work at hand: "Okay, I'll go over after I finish my work here."
After the dishes in the pot were ready and the plates were taken away, Fu Yu said hello to Zhao Meng and hurried to the front hall.
On the way there, he still wondered why the other party suddenly came to him.
