When Xu Yin and Master Zhao came to Ruifu Tower, there were still ten days before the official opening. During this period, the two of them were busy developing new dishes based on Ruifu Tower's previous menus and traditional local dishes.
In addition to them, six more masters have come to report in the past few days.
There are a total of eight masters, four in the red case and four in the white case, who also work in shifts in the morning and evening.
Xu Yin and Master Zhao were assigned to the same group as Master Yuan and Master Li from Bai An.
Each master chef is assigned two assistant chefs. However, the candidate for the sous chef has not yet been decided. Most likely, they will have to wait for the master chef to take up the post, and then they will interview and select the person themselves.
After listening to the resume introductions of others, Master Zhao felt a little inferior and whispered to Xu Yin: "It seems that we two are the least conspicuous."
For example, Master Yuan, who is in the same group, is trained by the famous Bai An Zhang; Master Li, who is in the same group, is also the chief Bai An master of a state-owned hotel in the provincial capital.
The other group of four people also have their own abilities.
Just when he was filled with emotion, Wang Zhao's voice sounded:
"Our boss has said that you are all elites in the industry, but when you come to Ruifu Tower, don't bring in the system's tricks. Everyone has their own strengths. There is no need to scheming and doing your own thing. To restore the former glory of Ruifu Building, the owner will not treat you badly! It is a kind of fate that you are gathered here. We will not talk about the past, but only think about the future. In the past few days, after everyone has become familiar with the environment, please appoint the sous chef as soon as possible , we can have a friendly discussion if we have time."
These words made Master Zhao very excited and he couldn't help but nod: "Yes, yes, yes! We can have friendly discussions, learn from each other, and make progress together!"
Xu Yin couldn't help laughing.
"Master Xu." After Wang Zhao finished speaking and let everyone disperse, he called Xu Yin and said with a bright smile, "Are you free now? Our boss would like to have a meal with you. But..."
He scratched his head, unable to speak at all: "None of us are good at cooking, so we can only do the basics, and you need to be the chef."
Xu Yin: "..."
No wonder it's called "Let's have a meal together" instead of "I'll treat you to a meal". Look at the art of speaking.
However, the treatment given to her in Ruifu Building was really good. Not to mention other things, the dormitory turned out to be an independent courtyard. It was renovated, replanted with seedlings, built a rockery, and had running water and pool water. There are also several colorful koi carps here, and living here is simply a pleasure.
I heard from Wang Zhao that the local masters received supplementary housing allowances, and the master masters from out of town were temporarily placed in the east courtyard of Ruifu Building, which was the former guest courtyard, and they would move out when a suitable staff building became available.
She was the only one who was assigned an independent and quiet courtyard where no other people would come or go.
Even if this was part of the reward for poaching her, it far exceeded her expectations.
Give me peaches and give me Qiong Yao.
Besides, it was just a meal, so Xu Yin readily agreed.
Before going, I went back to the dormitory and brought a jar of radish kimchi that I had picked as a souvenir.
"Brother Rui, this is Master Xu. Master Xu, this is the owner of our Ruifu Tower."
"I have long admired my name."
When she first met Rui Xijin, Xu Yin reached out and shook his hand. The inexplicable sense of familiarity made her slightly startled.
However, Rui Xijin was obviously more surprised than she was. He turned to look at Wang Zhao and asked with his eyes: Female?
Not only is she a woman, but she is also so young!
Even though Wang Zhao had mentioned that Master Xu was very young, he thought he was in his early thirties. It's hard to relate that cooking skill to the young woman in front of him.
Wang Zhao was stunned: Brother Rui didn’t know that Master Xu was a woman?
"Ah ha? Didn't I say that?" Wang Zhao scratched his head, "I thought I did."
When Xu Yin went to the kitchen, Wang Zhao quickly assured Rui Xijin: "Brother Rui, don't worry, Master Xu is different from other women. You see, I have been dealing with her for so long, and I have never regarded her as a woman... …Well, of course, the dishes she cooks are so much like Grandpa Rui’s style that when I see her, I think of Grandpa Rui…” I can’t think of anything else.
Rui Xijin glanced at him: "It's best to do what you said."
Before going to the countryside to jump in line, he had met too many people who wanted to steal the recipes of the Rui family. Seeing that he was young and energetic and easy to manipulate, he used young and beautiful women to get close to him;
After going to the countryside, there were many women, including educated youths who also went to the countryside, as well as the daughter and niece of the production team leader... I don't know whether these people were interested in his face or his money, and they deliberately created opportunities to attack him. Throw yourself into your arms and let him avoid you.
Others thought he had lost so much weight because of his picky mouth, but that was not the case. It was because he was scared and did not dare to eat at will. Even if it's the porridge I cooked, I don't dare to eat it again if it's out of sight.
After returning to the city, except for some matters that had to be negotiated by him, he rarely left this small courtyard that made him feel extremely at ease. Recruitment, interviews... all were handled by Wang Zhao.
The first time Wang Zhao brought him the dishes cooked by Master Xu was on the day he returned to the city. Wang Zhao said that there was a new cook in the state-owned hotel, and the dishes he cooked had the taste of an old man.
He was exhausted, tired and hungry at the time, so he took a bite to cope with it. From then on, he took off his guard and began to accept the food prepared by the outside world.
But after eating again and again, only the dishes made by Master Xu suit his appetite the most.
In other words, Master Xu's craftsmanship is indeed a bit like his grandfather's style, which reminds him of the warmth of home.
I didn't expect that Master Xu was a woman, and such a young woman...
Rui Xijin frowned and leaned on the Taishi chair without saying a word.
No one can guess what he is thinking.
If Wang Zhao knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would definitely jump up and fight with him: Damn brother, how much effort did I spend to poach this person, and you actually want to fire him?
However, Wang Zhao didn't know that. He thought that Brother Rui stayed up late again last night and was out of energy because he didn't sleep well.
He went to the kitchen to help Xu Yin for a while, and then came out with a plate of radish pickles: "Rui Ge Rui Ge, try this pickled radish. It's refreshing and appetizing. It's so delicious! It reminds me of this time of year when I was a kid. , Grandpa Rui gave us pickled radish heads to eat... Hey, Brother Rui? Why don't you try it? "
Rui Xijin stared at the radish and pickled vegetables for a long time, then accidentally took the chopsticks from Wang Zhao and ate a piece of sweet and sour pickled radish.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? Isn't it delicious?"
"……good."
He said it was okay, but he already picked up a piece of kimchi and radish with the chopsticks in his hand and started eating it.
Wang Zhao snickered and said, "Just be tough!" There is nothing you wouldn’t like to eat from Master Xu’s dishes.
At noon that day, Xu Yin responded to Wang Zhao's request and made her signature fish slices, stir-fried three-vegetarian vegetables, fried pork liver with soy sauce, dried bamboo shoots and vegetables, and river shrimp soup. She also made a gluttonous frog eel with eels and bullfrogs as the main ingredients. , using her unique secret recipe of sauce, which is countless times more delicious than the grated bullfrog and fried eel in soy sauce in state-owned restaurants.
Before the banquet started, Rui Xijin was still hesitating whether to fire the female chef, wondering if she was here for Rui's recipe.
When the delicious food was served, I completely gave up the idea and just wanted to keep people in Ruifu Tower for a long time...
