Chapter 1646: It’s within my duty
The days at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were calm and peaceful. They followed the routine step by step and even had the time to show their love for each other. On the other side, the Shu restaurant was in a state of intense busyness.
“What’s with the green plants here? Didn’t I order someone to trim it? why haven’t they done anything yet?” As soon as Cao zhishu entered the Shu restaurant, he saw something that he was not satisfied with.
As one of the high-end restaurants in Chengdu, Shu restaurant was very particular about its environment. After all, Yu Chu had praised the environment when he visited the exemplary restaurant.
“The pruners will be here soon.” The waiter in charge of this matter immediately replied.
“How long will it be? five minutes or an hour?” Cao zhishu asked again.
“I’m sorry, head chef Cao. I didn’t make myself clear. I just called to confirm that I’ll be here in ten minutes at most,” the waiter said.
“Very good,” he said. Hearing that, Cao zhishu turned his eyes to other places, such as whether the waiters and chefs were dressed neatly or not, and whether the carpet was dirty.
Usually, he would also say it, but he would never be as strict as today. After inspecting Shu restaurant and making sure there were no problems, he went straight into the private kitchen.
There were two kitchens in Shu building. They were not superior or inferior, but they had different purposes.
One was an ordinary kitchen with a large and open space. The front was a large piece of transparent glass, and the hotel staff would order food in this kitchen.
The other kitchen was more enclosed and smaller, with more strange kitchenware. This was a place to develop new dishes. In fact, other than Cao zhishu, li Hebin and his disciples could also use it. Of course, Cao zhishu had been using it for the past two days.
“What’s wrong with head chef Cao these past two days? Is there some Big Shot coming to eat?”
“Don’t you know who he is? Head chef Yuan is coming to our restaurant to eat. “
“Is it that Yuan Zhou, the best Chef in the country?”
There were quite a few chefs in the country who could be called head chefs with the surname Yuan. However, there was probably only one head chef Yuan who could make Cao zhishu feel as if he was facing a great enemy.
Some of the shop assistants in Shu restaurant knew about this, while some did not. The main reason was that Cao zhishu had been focusing on perfecting the banquet for the past two days.
As a famous Sichuan chef, Cao zhishu had one advantage, and that was that he was very good at listening to other people’s suggestions.
For example, Yu Chu had also said that the private rooms were a little messy. Therefore, Cao zhishu had immediately reallocated the rooms.
After lunch, the Shu restaurant went into an afternoon break. Cao zhishu gathered everyone, including the staff and the chef.
“Our Shu restaurant is most famous for our Shu banquet, but the food and beverage industry has to keep up with the trend, otherwise it will be left behind by the big horse carriage of the times. So I made some improvements.”
Immediately after, Cao zhishu explained the improvements in detail. However, when it came to cooking, it was impossible to convey the essence by just talking. Therefore, he even demonstrated it in front of his disciple, the sous-chef, and the sous-chef.
“Head chef Yuan, I will definitely make you look at me in a new light this time.” Cao zhishu was very confident as he thought to himself.
On the other side, master chef Restaurant was still relatively peaceful as compared to Shu restaurant, where everyone was a soldier. Yuan Zhou would find time to recruit employees every day.
What Yuan Zhou didn’t know was that his Recruitment Notice was very popular on the internet. There were even netizens who had summarized the requirements for the staff of master chef Restaurant.
1. It’s best if you have rhinitis and can’t smell the fragrance, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to serve food every day.
2. Those with poor vision should be given priority. After all, the delicacies cooked by boss Yuan were all appetizing.
……]
Shen Min and Zhou Jia didn’t have rhinitis or myopia. This was just a joke on the internet. Even if Yuan Zhou knew about it, he wouldn’t care about it, not to mention that he didn’t know about it. That was because he always felt that one must be able to withstand the ridicule of others.
Su Ruoyan was not short-sighted or had rhinitis. Oh, she was the girl that Qin Kaili had introduced.
Master chef Restaurant never had a back door when it came to recruitment, so she came with the other recruiters.
From 4:30 p.m. To 5:00 p.m., Yuan Zhou had to prepare the ingredients for dinner from 5:00 p.m. To 6:00 p.m., And before 4:30 p.m., He had to practice his knife skills and carving.
Su Ruoyan was the earliest one to arrive at the interview. She arrived at 4:00 am. At this time, Yuan Zhou had just finished sculpting and was preparing to take a rest upstairs.
After su Ruoyan arrived, she sat quietly at the entrance of the restaurant on the long bench set up by the queuing Committee. She observed the environment of Taoxi road.
As a native of Chengdu and also working in Chengdu, su Ruoyan naturally knew of master chef restaurant’s name. However, she had never been here before.
This was a little similar to how many people from Shanghai had never been to the Oriental Pearl Tower. Many people from wudu would not be interested in visiting the liberation Monument.
“There are too few people in the service industry who have insurance.” Su Ruoyan calculated in her heart, if it wasn’t for the salary and benefits written by master chef Restaurant, I would have thought that it was a scam.
After sitting for a while, su Ruoyan got up and walked from the end of Taoxi road to the end of the street. Taoxi road was not very long, and su Ruoyan’s pace was quite fast, so she finished walking in a short time.
Not only did she leave, su Ruoyan also made notes in her mind. For example, if there was a convenience store on the street and customers needed to help buy cigarettes, they could go and buy them. The price of cigarettes was the same as outside, without any increase in price.
Another example was the number of restaurants on the street, which might be the potential rivals of the small restaurant.
Su Ruoyan’s catchphrase was “opportunities are for those who are prepared.” This sentence was very interesting. If one did as she said, it would be the Creed of success, but if one did not do as she said, it would be nothing but chicken soup.
The interview began in twenty minutes. There were five people, two men and three women, who came for the interview today.
“Don’t be nervous, everyone. Our boss is a very nice person. ” Zhou Jia came out to comfort everyone.
Ten minutes later, the restaurant officially started. Zhou Jia led the five people to the restaurant.
Yuan Zhou noticed su Ruoyan at first glance.
It was because su Ruoyan was wearing a pair of glasses and had her hair tied up in a ponytail, revealing her forehead. She looked like a high school student.
“Boss Yuan, don’t worry. I’m already 20 years old. It’s also written on my resume. If you don’t believe me, I have my ID card with me.” Su Ruoyan explained when she saw Yuan Zhou’s gaze.
“Alright, I got it.” Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything.
“I know it’s a little unbelievable that you have to submit your resume for a mere employee position.” Yuan Zhou said,”but when I hire employees, I mainly look at whether they are down-to-earth. Whether they are down-to-earth or not, you can tell a large part from their resumes.”
Yuan Zhou was also a person who hosted the National cooking team before. Moreover, due to his current fame, his words carried an imposing manner and persuasiveness, which made the five people who came here uncontrollably believe in him.
In fact, some of the applicants were chefs. For example, han you, who came today, used to be a chef in a small restaurant.
Although he was a head chef of a small restaurant, he could still earn a salary of 7000 to 8000 Yuan after working hard for a month. Thus, he gave up the salary of 7000 to 8000 Yuan and came here to apply for a job as a clerk. Naturally, he wanted to learn something from Yuan Zhou.
After all, not everyone was as rich as Wang Qiang and Liu Li, who could eat and learn in the store every day.
Besides, if he didn’t buy anything and just came to learn cooking, han you would feel embarrassed.
“Hehe, I’m definitely going to win this round. After all, I have the spirit of a chef. I believe that as a fellow chef, boss Yuan will definitely choose me.” Han you was full of confidence.
“Wait until I work as a shop assistant for two to three years and learn three points from head chef Yuan… No, I can learn two to three dishes as his signature dish and use it as a selling point to open my own restaurant. That would be great.” Han you was excited, feeling that he was about to reach the peak of his life.
Judging from the resumes, the five people who came to recruit today were quite serious. Yuan Zhou studied them for a while and asked each of them some questions. Then, he asked the five people to wait outside for a moment. He needed to think about it.
As a matter of fact, Yuan Zhou was quite satisfied with su Ruoyan and han you based on their resumes and answers to the questions.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally asked Zhou Jia to call han you in.
Seeing that he was the first to be called in, han you was very happy.”This wave is definitely in the bag.”
“Han you, I’ve seen your resume. You said you used to be a head chef in a small restaurant.” “So, you want to work as a shop assistant to improve your cooking skills, right?” Yuan Zhou asked straightforwardly.
“Yes, head chef Yuan. I think I’m still young. Young people should learn more. That’s why I came to head chef Yuan’s restaurant to learn something.” Han you didn’t want to hide it, so he explained,””But don’t worry, head chef Yuan. I’m a reliable person. I won’t give up halfway. I’ll be leaving in a month or two.”
“Yes, I believe that.” “Young people who are willing to learn a craft are all down-to-earth,” Yuan Zhou said.
Han you was a little excited to be recognized by a master chef.
“But I’m sorry, I can’t choose you for this job.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Uh… I still failed.” Han you’s face was sullen.
Han you would openly say that he was here to learn cooking. On the one hand, it was because of his straightforward character. On the other hand, many people on the internet said that head chef Yuan did not have any social norms. Even if you were a foodie, it was not a problem to learn.
According to the sources, the founder of the famous cake chain brand “man Wu” in Chengdu had learned something from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
There was also a fast food chain that had the best sauces. It was said that they were also made by imitating the sauces of master chef Restaurant.
Wait a minute, although there were many examples on the internet, han you felt that it was normal to be rejected. He was very stubborn in his heart. To put it bluntly, he was here to freeload for cooking. To put it bluntly, he was here to take advantage of others, so han you was prepared to be rejected.
It was one thing to be prepared, but it was inevitable that he would be unhappy if he failed. Thus, han you lowered his head and prepared to leave with a long face.
Yuan Zhou stopped han you and said solemnly,””If it was two years ago, I would have agreed to it. But now, even if you’re a shop assistant, you won’t be able to learn anything, because I’ve already surpassed the stage of using skills.”
The conclusion from Yuan Zhou’s words was that his culinary skills were too high. Without a solid foundation, he would not be able to learn anything at all.
It was like a novice immortal cultivator who had just reached the foundation establishment stage running to become a servant of a perfected golden immortal and watching him practice. What do you think you can learn?
It would be fine if this Foundation establishment newbie took him as a master, because if there was anything he didn’t know, the Golden immortal of the great all-embracing heaven would teach him. But the probability of a manservant and a shop assistant taking on a disciple was different.
“So if you want to improve your cooking skills, I can recommend you to other restaurants.” Yuan Zhou suggested seriously.
“Uh…” Han you returned to his senses and asked,””Head chef Yuan, are you going to recommend me to other restaurants?”
“Um. If there’s no problem, I can go to Shu restaurant, Ming attic restaurant, or xinchuan restaurant,” Yuan Zhou said frankly.
“Uh… The internet is right. No, I should say that head chef Yuan is even better than what they say. You actually gave a person you just met a chance.” Han you said.
“I’m the chairman of the green chefs ‘Association. It’s my duty as the chairman to help the young chefs.” Yuan Zhou said.
This wasn’t part of his job. In any case, putting himself in his shoes, han you felt that he couldn’t do it. They were clearly here to take advantage of him. Giving him a good face was already very good manners, not to mention giving him a chance to help him.
Han you deeply felt that apart from culinary skills, he was also incomparable to Yuan Zhou in terms of breadth of mind. Now, he finally understood why Yuan Zhou was known as the best Chef in China while he was just a nobody.
“Thank you, head chef Yuan, but no thanks. The Shu restaurant, Ming attic restaurant, and xinchuan restaurant that you mentioned are all very famous in Chengdu. If I can get in as an apprentice with my own efforts, I will definitely do it. However, I don’t need your recommendation. I think I will definitely succeed because you have given me the most valuable advice.” Han you bent over and said seriously.
“Alright, go on.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said affirmatively.
“Thank you once again, head chef Yuan. Just like what the internet says, you really have a cold face but a kind heart.” “I won’t waste any more of head chef Yuan’s time. I’ll take my leave first,” said han you.
Han you left. In fact, Yuan Zhou felt that han you should accept his help, but he wouldn’t interfere with his decision.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou finally chose su Ruoyan.
“Head chef Yuan,” su Ruoyan asked,”um… Are we really the ones who decide on our own free time?” It’s okay if I don’t stay in the shop?”
“Yes, as long as you can arrive at the store during working hours, everything else is fine.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Oh, oh. Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Upon hearing such an answer, su Ruoyan could not help but reveal a grateful smile.
“I’ll take you with me for two days tomorrow and the day after. I’ll tell you everything about the store. ” Zhou Jia said.
“Aren’t you going to report to the company the day after tomorrow?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“I’ve told Sister Jiang that I’ll report to work the day after tomorrow. Since there are more things to teach during the day shift, it’ll take two days.” “Boss, you’re not allowed to object to this,” said Zhou Jia.
“Yes, I can.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
She had to start work tomorrow, so su Ruoyan bade her farewell and left soon after.
Dinner time.
For foodies, dinner time always ended very quickly, or rather, it should be said that dinner time was over.
“Sister Jiang, long time no see.” Feng dan was the last batch of customers who entered the restaurant and finished their meal. When she left the restaurant, she saw Jiang Changxi and greeted her with a smile.
“It’s been a long time indeed. ” Jiang Changxi smiled, followed by Tao Zi.
Peach was still as lively and flat-chested as she was a year ago.
“You didn’t bring your boyfriend?” Jiang Changxi asked with a smile.
“Their company is being acquired recently, so they’re very busy.” “What about you, Sister Jiang?” Feng dan answered and asked.
“Um…” Jiang Changxi muttered to herself for a moment and then revealed a smile on her face,””It’s good to be alone. “
Feng dan said,”how is it good? in the end, I still need to find someone to accompany me. Especially when I’m sad. A person will get sadder and sadder.”
“Whether you want to get married or not, it’s the most suitable state for you. I can only say that marriage is the best choice for you.” Jiang Changxi said.
“That’s true, that’s true. I can’t use my own thoughts on others. I’ve made the same mistake again. I’m sorry, sorry.” Feng dan quickly apologized.
Jiang Changxi touched Feng Dan’s head,””Who are you apologizing to?”
“I’m not apologizing to anyone. I’m just apologizing to myself for a wrong opinion. ” Feng dandao
“Okay, go.” Jiang Changxi said.
“I’ll get going then. My boyfriend asked me out for a movie, so I’ll get going first.” After saying that, Feng dan left.
However, when Feng dan reached the end of the street, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, so she checked again to see if her phone, wallet, satchel, and lipstick were all there. Nothing was missing.
An an stopped a taxi at the end of the street and left.
In fact, Feng dan had written down in her memo that she would treat Jiang Changxi to a meal next time. But…She had forgotten about the memo.
At the other side, Jiang Changxi was here to pick up Yuan Zhou and Yin ya. She was the one treating the dinner at Shu restaurant tonight. Therefore, as the host, she came here to pick up the guests personally.
“Little ya is so pretty today.” Jiang Changxi praised.
“Sister Jiang is the most beautiful.” Yin ya answered smilingly.
“This little mouth, it’s so sweet that I almost believed it.” Jiang Changxi rubbed Yin ya’s head.
Jiang Changxi’s car was parked in the parking lot at the end of the street. A group of people walked over there. Yuan Zhou walked next to Yin ya while Jiang Changxi walked beside Yin ya, following behind her like a little peach.
As for the main character of the initiation party, Zhou Jia, she had already gone to Shu restaurant to prepare. After all, Jiang Changxi was the initiator of the party while she was the main character of the party, so she had to greet the others first.
