The suspect who stole the Queen Mother Renxian's service supplies was finally found.
Meihua and I returned to Xiangshan Hall and convened a meeting with relevant personnel.
I came to the Plum Blossom Room and saw the elephant head and elephant tree again, and the house number was "102" again.
It's funny no matter how you think about it.
In addition to the custodian, buyer, and Mei Hua, there was also a big chef at this meeting. Mei Hua introduced to me, "This is Master Yang Yong, the oldest chef in our Xiangshan Hall."
"He came earlier than Master Qiu. He is the senior master of our Xiangshan Hall."
The big chef had not shaved off his beard.
Seeing Mei Hua praising herself in front of everyone, she smiled proudly, stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Thanks to everyone's love, I will make the dishes on the stove better and better."
Plum Blossom began to turn to the topic,
"We are having a meeting today, mainly to convey the spirit of the meeting that Prime Minister He received from the court. Liu Bancheng and I just attended this meeting together."
"The main topic of the meeting is to save money and reduce expenditures. We, Prime Minister He, must take a good lead in the court and implement what the king said."
"I invite you all to come here just to hear your opinions. Let's talk about how we can save money and how we can reduce expenses without affecting supply."
Buyer Rencheng spoke first without thinking,
"Isn't that simple?
Buy less vegetables, buy less grain, make more soup, and eat more noodles.”
"Make the best soup before each meal so that everyone can drink enough first, and then they won't be able to eat anymore. Isn't this a disguised way of saving food and money?"
My eyes widened!
When I was in my original unit, the head in charge of food also used this method.
If you want to save money, one way is to let the service recipients eat noodles every meal, make the noodles more fragrant, and everyone will be full in no time.
Another tip is to make some good soup before each meal, such as big stick soup, lamb offal soup, beef soup, etc. Add some salt and coriander, and the taste will be very attractive.
People are willing to drink soup regardless of food or not, as long as it tastes delicious. One bowl is not enough to drink two bowls, and two bowls is not enough to drink three bowls. The average person's stomach will not be able to eat much after drinking two bowls.
In this way, you drink quickly, eat quickly, and get hungry quickly. When you are hungry quickly, you want to eat early, and when you want to eat, it tastes delicious. Therefore, these people always say that the food here is good, and the lingering praises are endless. .
As a result, after a year's calculation of the general ledger, I have indeed saved a lot on food expenses.
However, I didn’t expect that the source of this method actually came from Liang Guo, from the Prime Minister He’s Mansion in the current life.
It's quite funny when I think about it.
At this time, the custodian also spoke,
"My job here is mainly to control the entry and exit of the warehouse!"
“If we try to use everything that can be used in the warehouse, chefs are not allowed to repeatedly request ingredients.
Then the leftover ingredients and seasonings from the previous meal, such as corn flour, vermicelli, soy sauce, miso, etc.
If possible, try to use it all at once without wasting it.
Plum Blossom nodded,
"This is a good idea!"
Meihua looked at the master.
The master did not express his position immediately, but deliberately cleared his throat and said,
"Saving. It's called saving, but it's not that easy."
"Think about it, there are more than 3,000 people dining in our Xiangshan Hall.
If you want to save money, then there must be dedicated people to take care of it. Otherwise, just shouting at me will be useless.
"Because when the stove gets busy, you have to add whatever is missing, and make up for whatever is missing. There is no way to calculate it. Which day do you want to save and which day don't?"
I have worked on the stove and also been a master chef.
He could understand what the master said.
But this sentence is obviously a change of the plum blossom's opinion on saving.
He should follow the plum blossom's thinking and think about how to save instead of emphasizing objective reasons.
It shows that this master wants to deceive Meihua in business. Experts bully amateurs.
It seems that Meihua respects him so much because she relies on this master to carry out her work.
Meihua did not understand the meaning behind the master's words.
Instead, he nodded and turned the words back to me.
"Chef, you will become the business leader of our Xiangshantang soon. Please give us your opinion."
I said,
“Everyone is an expert in catering management, and everyone can understand some unnecessary expenses.
But I think there is at least one thing in front of us that we must start to implement. "
The four people in front of me felt that what I said made people have to concentrate and listen.
Looking at everyone's expressions, he continued,
"We at Xiangshantang, if we want to save money, we must have practical and effective solutions to the problem of leakage."
“For example, the problem of missing service supplies two days ago.
I think situations like this should have happened a lot before.
It's just that it hasn't been as serious as last time.
"I think that even the food of key service recipients can be thrown away, which shows that our internal management is too weak."
"Although it has been several days since this incident, I feel that it is not over yet."
"Anyone who knowingly commits an offense must be thoroughly investigated."
As I spoke, I observed the four people in front of me.
Meihua, the custodian, and the buyer didn't react much, they just listened quietly.
Only the big chef had a strange anger and disdain in his eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, he started talking.
The big chef said,
"Chef, don't make a fuss about things like leaks and leaks."
"Since you have done this job, you should know that none of us who are chefs can't just go on the job without deserting."
I didn't expect the master to react so strongly to my words. There must be something fishy in this.
Since your master dares to challenge me in front of an expert, fine, then I will continue to throw out ideas and see how you can continue.
I smiled and said,
"Yes, Master's reminder is very necessary!"
"But I would like to ask the master, what is your work process every time you make service supplies for Queen Mother Huayang?"
The master asked, "What is the work process?"
I didn't give in at all.
"The work process is how you receive the goods, how you clean them, how you process them, how you load the discs after processing, how you put them into boxes, how you deliver them to the designated location, and who you deliver them to."
"Also, how much should be used for each processing? What should I do if the amount is too much, and what should I do with the rest. What should I do if the amount is too small? I want to learn."
I actually just wanted to make things difficult for this master.
Because from the time I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to now, this master has never looked at me with a straight face.
He didn't take himself seriously at all.
Men can basically judge each other's attitude towards themselves through body language.
Therefore, in this small meeting, I also wanted to pose some problems to him, tease him out, and test whether he is a real expert.
At this time, the master's face was red.
He said,
"Making things for Queen Mother Renxian is usually handled by Master Qiu personally."
“It’s not convenient for me to tell you about this process and processing!”
"This, the Master of Plum Blossom Hall should know this rule."
He threw the burden to Meihua, hoping that Meihua would help him smooth things over.
