Liu Yuqing was thinking about Fu Yu's competition, so she went to work with her opponent Jiang Mo in advance. In the afternoon, before the meal rush was over, she hurriedly chartered a car and rushed to the provincial capital.
Jiang Mo and the front desk clerk helped cover up the situation. It was the afternoon break anyway, and as long as he survived the hour or so before the evening shift, the day would be over.
Seeing that at 4:30 in the afternoon, customers began to enter the store to dine, Jiang Mo was worried, fearing that he would be inspected.
As a result, she was afraid that something would happen. As soon as she finished placing an order for barbecue takeout, she saw the boss Dong Juntian and his friends entering the store.
My friend went to the ordering area to choose seafood. Dong Juntian came to the front desk and said: "My friend will go to box 103 later, and this table will be free of charge!"
The front desk clerk quickly agreed and took notes carefully.
When Dong Juntian left, Jiang Mo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Dong Juntian only came over to entertain friends to the restaurant for dinner.
The front desk is especially busy during the peak dining period, with people coming and going.
Jiang Mo was in charge of ordering takeout orders. While she was busy, someone suddenly stood in front of her. When she looked up, she was startled.
The boss, Dong Juntian, actually came to the front desk again, followed by his friend who was dining in the restaurant.
The front desk clerk hurriedly said hello: "Boss!"
Jiang Mo also shouted.
Dong Juntian nodded, handed a piece of personal information to the front desk, and said, "I want to apply for a VIP card. Please register the specific information here."
The front desk clerk took it over and helped fill out the registration form.
There happened to be no customers coming to check out, so Dong Juntian simply stood at the front desk waiting to apply for a card.
At this time, suddenly Dong Juntian's cell phone rang.
Dong Juntian looked at the caller ID and was quite surprised. After answering the call, he called warmly: "Zhi Fang, why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"
Yang Zhifang said: "Brother Dong, is Fu Yu the chef of your store?"
When Dong Juntian heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Yang Zhifang is Dong Juntian's childhood friend, and the relationship between the two is particularly strong.
This time, Yang Zhifang went to the provincial capital to visit a friend. When he arrived, he heard that his friend had been invited to serve as a judge for the provincial competition of this year's National Chef Competition.
He had nothing to do and went with him to the event to join in the fun.
Suddenly I learned that a cooking genius was born in the province this year.
I originally thought it was the chef of a big hotel in the provincial capital, but later I heard that it was Fu Yu, the chef of the Qianlima Hotel in Bei'an.
His friend was full of praise for Fu Yu, saying that Fu Yu was a genius. Many restaurant owners and chefs from the family and friends group at the scene had even thought of poaching him.
When Yang Zhifang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Is this Fu Yu the chef of Chollima?
This reminded Yang Zhifang of his childhood friend Dong Juntian.
Yang Zhifang said anxiously: "Brother Dong, let me tell you something."
When Dong Juntian heard that there was something wrong with this tone, he thought Yang Zhifang was in trouble, so he asked with concern: "Zhifang, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?"
Yang Zhifang said: "It's not me, it's the chef of your store!"
Dong Juntian was stunned. When he heard this, the first thought in his mind was: It shouldn't be!
He knew the people in the kitchen very well.
Although Zhao Meng is a reckless man, he has always been serious and responsible for his work.
Yao Shi was as slippery as a loach, and no one would catch him making any mistakes.
Only Gu Yunwu was the one who took over all the troubles, being lazy, greedy and slippery. If something went wrong in the kitchen, there would be no one else but him.
But why does this involve Fu Yu?
While he was thinking randomly, he heard Yang Zhifang continue: "Did you know? This time Fu Yu has advanced to the national competition in the provincial competition!"
When Dong Juntian heard this, he immediately became happy: "Really? That's great!"
He really didn't expect Fu Yu to advance to the national competition. He originally had the idea of focusing on participation.
Seeing that his brother was quite happy, Yang Zhifang immediately said anxiously: "Brother Dong, this is indeed good news, but haven't you ever thought about it? What if Fu Yu really shows his prominence in the national competition and gets pretty good results? , can this still be considered good news?”
Dong Juntian obviously didn't take it seriously. After hearing this, he said with a smile: "You are exaggerating. It is already quite remarkable to advance to the national competition. I don't expect him to win the grand prize! If it is Yao Shi who competes, Maybe he can still get the top thirty results, but as for Fu Yu, it’s impossible, how can he have such strength!”
Yang Zhifang sighed. It seemed that Dong Juntian didn't know the chefs in his store that well!
Thinking of this, Yang Zhifang hurriedly said: "Brother Dong, what I said is not an exaggeration at all. My friend is the judge of this year's provincial competition. He told me personally that Fu Yu's cooking skills are particularly good, and his talent for cooking spoons is very good this time." The contestants are also the best! Those who can serve as judges this year are all well-established and usually very demanding. Just like that, Fu Yu even scored 98 points!"
"My friend said that with Fu Yu's current level, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will definitely be able to advance to the top ten!"
"This is a national competition. If Fu Yu can really enter the top ten, he will be famous!"
"I'm telling you, he hasn't even gone to the national competition yet. Several hotel owners in the province have already inquired about his situation. When he really wins the grand prize, there's no telling how many hotels will want to take part in it." I want to pry your corner!"
Yang Zhifang was really a little worried for Fa Xiao, after all, he listened to his friend talking about Fu Yu's superb cooking skills for a long time.
Even a layman like him knew that Fu Yu was a rare talent.
If a restaurant wants to run it properly and make money every day, the most important thing is to have an excellent chef who can cook special dishes to attract customers.
It seems that the little boy from home didn’t take Fu Yu seriously at all!
Yang Zhifang heard it and became even more worried for the other party.
When Dong Juntian heard this, the vague thoughts in his mind couldn't help but pop up again.
He thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Actually, Zhifang, my store really may not be able to retain Fu Yu."
Yang Zhifang was stunned: "What's the matter? Does he have the idea of changing jobs?"
Dong Juntian thought about the news he just heard two days ago, and his expression became a little ugly: "The music restaurant run by Yao Shi has launched a new herbal banquet, and I heard that the chef in charge is Fu Yu."
Sooner or later, people will find out about Fu Yu's part-time job at a music restaurant.
Dong Juntian knew neither too early nor too late, but he was definitely the worst one after knowing it.
The chef under him, Yao Shi, will definitely not last long, but Fu Yu, a newcomer, is getting better and better. This is something he did not expect. And just when he was about to vigorously train him, Fu Yu actually went to music. The restaurant has started anew!
He immediately called Yao Shi and wanted to question him.
Dong Juntian played the emotional card: "Old Yao, how have I treated you over the years? Not good enough? How can you poach me?"
Seeing this, Yao Shi said: "Juntian, have I treated you badly for so many years? There is no need to talk about this between us. I will help you for a while now, until the second half of the year at the latest, and I will be ready to concentrate on business. My own restaurant.”
Dong Juntian was not discouraged: "Don't you have any nostalgia?"
Yao Shi sneered. If Mr. Dong was still here, he would definitely miss him, but now?
Yao Shi: "Do I look like such a troubled person?"
After saying half a sentence, Yao Shi simply hung up the phone.
Thinking of the unhappy phone call last time, Dong Juntian felt a blockage in his heart.
Yang Zhifang had long known that Dong Juntian and Yao Shi were not dealing with each other, but he didn't expect that there was a complete showdown.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to advise.
Dong Juntian sighed: "Forget it, forceful melons are not sweet. As long as you have money, why don't you worry about hiring reliable employees?"
Yang Zhifang was silent.
He didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart: It's really not possible to hire someone as talented as Yao Shi if you have money.
Liu Yunong had just spoken with her sister Liu Yuqing on the phone to confirm the specific arrival time. After hanging up the phone, she heard chef Tang Xincheng who came specially from the branch say: "Would you like to dine in the store tonight?"
Liu Yunong smiled and said, "No, I'll go out to eat with them tonight."
Tang Xincheng is a direct disciple of Liu Yunong's father and has always treated Liu Yunong as his own sister.
He knew that Liu Yunong was usually busy with social activities. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not show it. Instead, he warned: "Eat less and drink less at night. Just socialize on the surface."
Liu Yunong smiled and nodded: "Brother Tang, I understand."
The two of them had been learning cooking from Liu's father since they were young, and they had always been close to each other. Now that they hadn't seen each other for several months, they had endless conversations to talk about.
After talking warmly, Tang Xincheng glanced around him to make sure no one could hear him. Then he motioned for Liu Yunong to come closer and whispered: "Yunong, you are really a very capable apprentice!"
Mentioning Fu Yu, Liu Yunong couldn't help but smile: "Yes, he usually works very hard and is very diligent, and he also has good talent."
Tang Xincheng saw that Liu Yunong really liked Fu Yu, so he smiled and said, "Why didn't you recruit such an outstanding talent to work in our store?"
Liu Yunong shook his head: "Don't worry, we have enough people now."
Tang Xincheng disagreed and said: "There are indeed enough people, but we still need to find ways to attract talents. Aren't you planning to continue to open branches? Fu Yu is very capable. Although I was not present before, you have passed on to work I have watched all the videos in the group carefully, and his cooking talent is obviously higher than mine!"
"I have been paying attention to the provincial competitions in the past few years, and there has never been a player with such a high score. And you have also discovered that the judges invited this year are all big-name figures, and they can give such high scores. You must pay attention to your grades!"
Tang Xincheng really admired Fu Yu, so he wanted to give Liu Yunong a warning.
After hearing this, Liu Yunong did not answer immediately. After a while, he slowly said: "Brother Tang, this matter is really not urgent. He will not always stay at the Maxima Hotel in the future."
When Tang Xincheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Isn't that good? The treatment in our store has always been good, and you are his master. It is convenient to have people around you for guidance."
"The branches in this province are almost open. Next, don't you plan to expand to other provinces? At that time, the provincial capital will also need a profitable person to help take care of it. I think Fu Yu is good, train him well, and in the future It’s definitely a good boost!”
"To be honest, there are indeed many master craftsmen with outstanding skills in the main store, but after all, they are dragging their families with them, so they can't leave at all. You still have to make preparations in advance!"
"Besides, if you don't take a good seedling like this with you and train it properly, don't delay it any longer. Learning to cook also depends on your age. The younger you are, the faster you will learn, and the stronger the foundation will be!"
"If I had such a disciple, I would definitely want to keep him with me at all times and train him well!"
After hearing this, Liu Yunong said with a smile: "He just gets off work every night and goes to the branch to learn cooking from me! And the key to the problem now is that Xiaoqing is still working at Chollima."
Tang Xincheng was stunned: "Xiao Qing? Then we can't let Fu Yu stay in Qianlima just because someone can take care of Xiao Qing? Let me tell you, Yu Nong, this is public and private! You can't be confused!"
Liu Yunong sighed: "I know, but Brother Tang, Fu Yu's matter is not only a business matter, but also a private matter!"
Tang Xincheng said in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Liu Yunong smiled and said: "Fu Yu is not only my apprentice now, he is also my future brother-in-law. Xiaoqing and he are now in a relationship."
In a word, Tang Xincheng was dumbfounded!
I have always known that although Liu Yunong is very enterprising, he is still very principled when things happen. Unexpectedly, this time he even resorted to a beauty trap!
Thinking of this, Tang Xincheng couldn't help but sigh, it has to be Liu Yunong!
What is this called?
Can't bear to let the child trap the wolf?
Nonsence!
wrong
Tang Xincheng sighed with emotion, and then said sincerely: "Yunong, I won't say anything else, you are still awesome! But, Xiaoqing is in love? How long has it been?"
Liu Yunong smiled and said: "We just got together a few years ago. The two of us like each other very much and know each other well. I thought it was good, so I didn't object."
Tang Xincheng smiled and said: "Fu Yu is really a good young man. I like him too. Let's invite him to the restaurant for dinner one day. I will prepare a table for him myself."
Liu Yunong nodded: "Okay! I'm still thinking about taking him to the main store during the Chinese New Year when I have the chance to meet the master and the others!"
Tang Xincheng was not in a hurry this time.
If Fu Yu was just Liu Yunong's apprentice, he must have tried every means to bring people into the company.
But
Fu Yu is now Liu Yuqing's boyfriend. From now on, we are all a family, and we must not let anyone else lose their wealth.
Thinking of this, Tang Xincheng's mentality was completely stabilized.
However, it was a pity that Liu Yuqing made her move too late.
If they had fallen in love two years earlier, would Fu Yu have become the representative of their Shangshi private restaurant this year?
When the time comes, one family will have two winners of the national competition. What a glorious thing!
What a pity. (End of chapter)
