At the end of the morning shift, Fu Yu punched in his card as usual and rushed to Shangshi Private Kitchen Restaurant early.
The number of customized dishes today is the same as usual, but the dishes have been obviously adjusted.
Liu Yunong deliberately moved the two dishes he wanted to teach Fu Yu how to cook to today.
However, before formal teaching, the kitchen staff still need to cook all the dishes. Whether they are semi-finished dishes or dishes that have only been prepared, they need to be cooked in advance to ensure that customers can cook them first when they enter the store. Time to serve.
For dishes that are expected to be more popular, some extra ingredients will be prepared.
Fu Yu has become very accustomed to and adapted to the work process here.
He began to learn cooking operations from Liu Yunong, from basic dishes to the final secret dishes, trying to keep every step in mind.
Today happened to be the weekend, and the business in the store was very good. Even if Liu Yunong deliberately slowed down the cooking and guided Fu Yu, he was powerless.
The front desk pushed for orders too quickly. Customers all rushed to the store at the same time. Orders were sent to the kitchen in an endless stream. One table had just started to be served, and there were orders from other tables. Needs to be cooked immediately.
For most of the night, several people stood in front of the kitchen counter, unable to move even a step.
Liu Zhangpeng now fully realizes the importance of Fu Yu in Liu Yunong's heart. Every time before taking an order for cooking, he must first ask Liu Yunong or Wang Yulong which dish Fu Yu needs to cook now.
If the order in his hand is relatively heavy, he will immediately change the order list.
After making sure that there were no dishes for Fu Yu to practice, he started cooking with a spoon.
Fu Yu can focus on cooking dishes that he lacks in. Such targeted training has made great progress for Fu Yu!
Fu Yu became more and more proficient in understanding and operating methods of cooking Liu's dishes that he had never been exposed to before.
For about a week after returning from vacation, Fu Yu went back and forth between the two points and the first line step by step every day.
Chollima's work became simple and somewhat boring for him.
Cooking the same dishes and doing the same cooking operations every day, trying to find problems and mistakes in the details, has become Fu Yu's only joy in his busy work.
In contrast, Shangshi Private Kitchen Restaurant, where you can find new dishes almost every day, has become Fu Yu's favorite place.
During this week, Liu Yunong carefully made customized arrangements for the recipes.
Thanks to the popularity of Shangshi Private Kitchen Restaurant, as well as the novel tastes and ordering methods of the dishes, more and more customers come to dine here.
Although he only came here to study with the kitchen assistant for a few hours after get off work every day, in this short period of time, Fu Yu could come into contact with countless dishes and cooking operations.
He can even clearly feel that he is improving every day.
After all, this kind of high-intensity learning and cooking practice is like iron-blooded training again and again for him.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after finishing cooking the last dish on the order list, several people in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhangpeng felt that this period of time in the branch was the period of fastest progress and greatest growth for him since he became the chef.
Liu Yunong is a very busy man. He manages so many restaurants under his command. He rarely stays in one restaurant for such a long time, let alone instructs the cooking techniques in the kitchen.
Liu Zhangpeng has worked in Shangshi Private Restaurant for so long. How could he have had such an experience before?
Even though he was just borrowing the light to listen, it was enough to benefit him a lot!
Liu Zhangpeng smiled: "Hey, today I know what it means to separate muscles and bones. Chef Liu, your splitting operation is absolutely amazing! Fu Chu, even more so, was so fast that he didn't even understand how to operate it. Yes, all the bones were separated!"
Liu Yunong just smiled slightly when she heard the praise of herself, but when she heard Du Yu's approval, the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepen a little.
Fu Yu shook his head, smiled and said nothing.
Wang Yulong on the side took over the conversation: "If you carefully piece together the broken bones, you will definitely be able to piece together a complete skeleton, not even a single bone will be missing!"
Liu Zhangpeng became even more excited when he heard this: "Chef Liu, it's a bit unqualified to be a chef with your and Chef Fu's skills. You should have studied as a doctor before!"
Liu Yunong couldn't help laughing: "Are you going to dissect the human skeleton?"
Wang Yulong laughed loudly: "That's right, are you going to save people, or are you going to harm them?"
A group of people laughed.
After a tiring day, just saying a few words to the poor makes me feel very happy!
The workers on the side were packing up the remaining ingredients. When they heard a few people chatting, they couldn't help laughing!
One of them smiled and said: "What you said is too exaggerated!"
Liu Zhangpeng smiled and waved his hand: "It's not an exaggeration. You haven't seen the splitting techniques of Chef Liu and Chef Fu. All the bones and fish bones of chickens, ducks and fish can be separated, no matter how thin the bones are." , How small is the fish bone without falling off! This is the standard!"
Wang Yulong couldn't help but said: "When you feel this way, why not start practicing splitting. Now that Yu Nong and Fu Chu are here, they can give you some appropriate guidance."
Liu Zhangpeng laughed when he heard this: "That's great! Starting from tomorrow, after preparing the dishes every morning, we won't take a break to argue, and start practicing by splitting the chicken skeleton!"
Liu Yunong said happily: "I think it will work. When the time comes, the chicken skeletons you have split can be used to make soup. The chicken cannot be cooked and served, so you can stew it yourself."
The others were happy when they heard it, and they all clapped their hands and applauded!
Fu Yu was very happy to listen to everyone joking. During this period, after they got along with each other, not only did they become more familiar with each other and get along more harmoniously, but their cooperation in cooking operations also made a qualitative leap.
Fu Yu seemed to have his own handy cook here, and he was completely adapted to the working environment here.
Moreover, he also discovered something.
Liu Zhangpeng was selected to follow Wang Yulong to the Bei'an branch to take charge of his own business. His cooking ability was one aspect, but Liu Zhangpeng's ability in personnel allocation and management coordination was also very outstanding.
Although Wang Yulong is the chef, his usual focus is entirely on the cooking and arrangement of dishes.
As for the workers around him, the cleaning staff, and the waiters in the front office, Liu Zhangpeng dealt with almost all of them.
Wang Yulong must be the one to make the final decision regarding cooking, but Liu Zhangpeng is responsible for other trivial matters.
The master and the apprentice, one playing the bad guy and the other playing the sweetheart, managed to maintain a very harmonious working atmosphere in the whole store.
Especially when it comes to handling various emergencies, Liu Zhangpeng can always resolve them very skillfully.
The working hours are too short and the experience is insufficient. Fu Yu is very lacking in this area and needs to learn and accumulate.
Fu Yu has always been a person who does what comes to his mind and realizes his shortcomings, so he began to pay attention to these aspects in his future work relationships.
In the locker room, Liu Zhangpeng was a little surprised when he received the cigarette handed to him by Fu Yu.
I didn't notice that Fu Yu had the habit of smoking before, but after a tiring day, it was nice to finally be able to relax and have a cigarette.
Liu Zhangpeng smoked a cigarette and stretched in a good mood.
He chatted with Fu Yu for a while, and a worker happened to come in to change clothes, so they joked and joked together.
Liu Zhangpeng was smoking while watching other people joking and joking. He just smiled and did not speak.
It has been less than half a year since he came to the branch in Bei'an, and this period of time was the most comfortable period for Liu Zhangpeng.
Even when he was at the main store, he was doing well, he was popular in the kitchen, and his treatment was good, but he had never had a working environment and atmosphere like this before.
In fact, the working atmosphere and environment are more important than the working place.
The branch store is definitely much worse than the main store. Whether it is the customer source or the staffing, it is naturally more than one level behind.
But back then, when he was working in the back kitchen of the main store, even though he had long been able to take charge of the dishes on his own, he was still just a helper chef who could be called around in front of a group of senior chefs.
No one regarded him as a chef at all. In the eyes of the old masters, he was just an apprentice.
And although the conditions at the main store are very good, with high commissions and good treatment, the issue of harmony in the kitchen is still a problem.
It's not that they are being targeted or treated harshly on purpose, but the masters are used to the attitude of leading apprentices, so they are often a little picky towards their juniors.
His heart is not bad, but his attitude is occasionally a bit hurtful.
This is not something that can be adjusted in the store.
And if you want to stand out in the main store, Liu Zhangpeng's level is not enough.
After all, those old masters were all descendants of the Liu family, and all of them had very powerful skills.
Therefore, when the branch opened in Bei'an this time, the boss sent his master Wang Yulong to come and take the lead. Liu Zhangpeng resolutely left the main store and came to the branch in this third-tier small city to take up the position of chef.
Boss Liu Yunong promised Liu Zhangpeng that he would open two new branches within three years, allowing him to temporarily serve as a chef in the kitchen and first assist Wang Yulong in managing the kitchen arrangements.
After the new store is established, if Liu Zhangpeng's personal ability reaches the standard, he will be considered to transfer him to the new branch as the chef position, allowing him to form his own kitchen team.
Liu Yunong has always been trustworthy in employing people and will give his subordinates a considerable degree of autonomy. As long as the operation of the branch is on track, in addition to routine audits and store inspections, all rights regarding the establishment of kitchen and front-office service personnel will be delegated to To branch managers.
In terms of employing people, he is very thoughtful and very capable.
However, Liu Zhangpeng is not very enthusiastic about being transferred to other branches to be the chef. He is now very content to learn cooking from master Wang Yulong and accumulate experience in kitchen staff management.
After all, his current cooking ability is not enough to support the kitchen of a branch.
This is also a major feature of Liu’s cuisine inheritance.
Shangshi Private Kitchen has always changed its menu every day, and the dishes cooked every day are different.
There are so many dishes that have been passed down from generation to generation, and combined with local specialties, there is not a single dish that is repeated year after year.
It is not an easy thing to truly become a disciple.
Just learning to thoroughly understand all Liu's dishes is already a matter of lifelong study.
And by the time he really developed superb cooking skills, he was already old and had developed deep relationships with everyone in the store.
Not to mention treating the hotel as home and treating colleagues as family, it’s basically the same.
It is also because of this that the turnover of chefs in Shangshi Private Restaurant is very small.
Therefore, even though Liu Yunong has frequently been planning to open branches in the past few years, as long as a new store opens, he can immediately dispatch a master chef with superb cooking skills to serve as the chef.
Although Liu Zhangpeng is not a master chef at the main store, and only serves as a chef at the branch, his cooking skills are actually outstanding in any restaurant outside.
Originally, Liu Zhangpeng still couldn't figure out why Liu Yunong suddenly accepted Fu Yu as his disciple.
This kind of thing has never happened before in their Shangshi private restaurant!
People like them who are able to enter the main store and learn cooking from a master do so through a trust relationship, or are directly selected from the small workers by the master chef.
He had never worked in Shangshi private restaurant, but he was able to work directly under Liu Yunong, the successor of Liu Family Cuisine. When this incident first came out, Liu Zhangpeng had no way of understanding it.
However, he now fully understands it.
Liu Yunong made such a choice because Fu Yu himself has great cooking talent and strength.
This is really a very scary person, and using words like genius to describe him is a bit weak.
A person can learn and comprehend a large number of cooking operations and knowledge difficulties in a very short period of time, and can apply what he has learned as quickly as possible!
What kind of strength is this?
In fact, as early as a year ago, Liu Zhangpeng had clearly felt that Fu Yu's cooking skills had surpassed his own.
If there is any aspect in which I am better than Fu Yu, it is simply the experience accumulated from cooking for many years.
Liu Zhangpeng didn't know that in Fu Yu's heart, he was still someone worth learning from.
Being able to be very tactful and get along well with everyone is actually a kind of personal charm.
It is very easy to twist a team into a rope.
Therefore, when Liu Zhangpeng secretly sighed, Fu Yu is so awesome, so strong, and making such rapid progress, the wave behind him beats the wave before him.
Fu Yu also paid careful attention to Liu Zhangpeng's every move and worked hard to learn the other party's communication methods and skills.
Because Fu Yu and Liu Zhangpeng thought each other was excellent and good, when they got along in private, they unconsciously became more sincere.
