"Brother Feng, add six more portions of eight-treasure tofu!"

"Brother Feng, two portions of braised prawns. ”

"Brother Feng, four portions of braised sea cucumber with green onions!"

"Brother Feng, here is another dried garlic scallop!"

On August 8th, a particularly auspicious day just from the date, Jiang Feng was almost busy in the kitchen.

Jiang Feng: ???

"Is there a bug in the ordering system? Didn't I ask you to add another half hour to the queue time? It should be more than two hours now, right?" Jiang Feng shouted as he looked at the single face that was not decreasing but increasing.

He knows that after all, he is also a person who has been on the hot search, and he is also the first in the hot search, although he may not have been in the first position for a long time, but he has reached the top of the hot search.

Celebrity effect, diners will follow the trend and blindly follow the herd, he can accept it, it is normal. Taifeng Building has been full since No. 7, and there is a long queue at the door, which is unprecedentedly hot, and it has become the most popular Internet celebrity store in Beiping.

Jiang Feng knows that he is the one who is on the hot search, and many new diners come to Taifeng Building to eat for him, it is normal to order his dishes, he understands the reason, but he is really tired.

No. 7 was already very tired, but I didn't expect No. 8 to be even more tired.

Jiang Feng felt that it was too hard to take an extra breath now.

"Brother Feng has already added, and now the front ordering system shows that if you order your food, it should be more than two and a half hours in line, but we can't help it if the guests still want to order. Sang Ming yelled back helplessly.

"Then stop my backstage first, don't take orders, I'll take it off the shelves, I'll take it off the shelves directly!" Jiang Feng was also inexperienced in this situation for the first time.

It turned out that the business in the store was busy, and everyone was busy together, but now the business in the store is busy alone.

"Take Jiang Feng's backstage off the shelves, Zhang Weiyu, you come over to help Jiang Feng cut the match, Dong Shi, you have less work at hand now, you work hard and Zhang Weiyu to help Jiang Feng, he can't do many things alone. Seeing that Jiang Feng had been busy for more than a day and didn't speak, Sun Mao spoke at this time, "This is the case for the time being at noon today, and we will re-discuss Jiang Feng's menu in the afternoon, and some dishes should be taken off the shelves." ”

Sun Mao transferred two people to help Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng was a little more relaxed, so he didn't have to be as busy as before, like the spinning top that was constantly whipped by the whip, and he couldn't stop spinning at high speed for a moment.

So much so that when Jiang Feng ate at noon, he ate a few more bites of food than usual.

According to the normal pattern of the previous few days, the three head chefs would go to the teahouse to drink tea after eating. Since Sun Maocai had already said that he would discuss with Jiang Feng about changing the menu in the afternoon, the three of them did not go to the teahouse. After eating, the three of them sat on the chair for a while and laughed a few words, then asked Jiang Feng to go upstairs with them to talk in the small box upstairs.

It was quite formal, which made Jiang Feng a little nervous.

Sun Maocai, Jiang Weiming, and Jiang Weiguo sat in a row, looking like an interviewer, giving Jiang Feng the illusion that he was not in a meeting now, but the three head chefs were interviewing him to see if he was qualified during the probationary period.

"It's been a busy past two days. Sun Maocai said with a smile.

"Fortunately, it's acceptable to be busy. Jiang Feng looked very restrained, and he couldn't see the momentum of the boss behind the scenes, like a humble worker.

"Are you okay?" Sun Maocai raised his tone, "I see that you are a little busy at noon today, and your emotions are almost out of control, is this okay?"

Jiang Feng: ?

I'll just say a polite word.

"Okay, don't talk about so many twists and turns, just say what you want to say. The old man spoke a little unhappily, I don't know if he was unhappy that Sun Maocai was actually teaching his grandson a lesson, or if he was unhappy with Jiang Feng's answer just now.

"Xiao Feng, that's right. Jiang Weiming spoke, "We didn't expect your dishes to suddenly increase so much at noon yesterday, but in fact, we had already discussed a solution in the teahouse in the afternoon." Originally, the menu should have been revised yesterday, but your Uncle Sun felt that this was a good opportunity and wanted you to ...... Anyway, endure a little more hardships and learn a little lesson, that's why I put it off until today to tell you. ”

"Opportunity?" Jiang Feng didn't understand much.

What kind of opportunity? Experience the opportunity of 007 social animals?

"I found out you had a question yesterday at noon. Sun Maocai said.

"Question?" Jiang Feng began to repeat.

"You're already doing a great job of cooking, so to speak, in any restaurant in the country and the world where you can compete for the position of head chef. But you have a problem, you have the skills to be a chef, but you don't have the ability to be a chef, and you don't have the mentality to be a chef. ”

"Yesterday at noon, when the amount of orders was significantly more than you could bear, your first reaction was not to stop taking orders in the background, but to ask Sang Ming to increase the waiting time longer, in a vain attempt to make customers stop ordering in this way. When you're already too busy to get on your feet, and even start to make some small mistakes that you shouldn't make, your first instinct is not to let other helpers help you out, but to make yourself more efficient. ”

Sun Maocai eased up: "Of course, your reactions are not wrong, but they are very strange." ”

"Weird?" Jiang Feng felt that this was a normal reaction, it had always been like this before.

"Let me ask you, when the menu of me, your grandfather, and your third grandfather is on the shelves, what will happen if the customer orders too much?" Sun Maocai asked.

"Of course, it's to stop taking orders. Jiang Feng said, the two old men can't be tired, it's always been like this.

"We're stopping taking orders, why aren't you?"

"Because I'm not the head chef, I ......" Jiang Feng was halfway through speaking, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Is there any difference between us? Removing the three of us are the head chef, you are not the premise, is there any big difference in our cooking skills?" Sun Maocai then asked.

"Of course there is, we ......" Jiang Feng thought about it and found that the premise of removing the identity of the head chef seemed to be no different.

In terms of cooking skills alone, he is a little higher than the old man.

"You're not in the right mindset. Sun Maocai smiled, "After I went back yesterday, I also thought about why you are like this, and I figured it out after thinking about it for one night." You're improving so fast that you're not adapting to your progress at all. You're no longer an ordinary chef, nor are you an ordinary good young chef. ”

"You're a genius. ”

"Everyone has a process to become a celebrity chef, it can be 5 years, 10 years, or 10 years or 20 years. We will use this long process to adapt to our celebrity chef status, and thus adapt to the things that should change when we become celebrity chefs. But this process of yours is so short, so short that you don't have time to get used to it, do you know why you are so tired, and even tired to the point of having some gaffes at noon today? ”

"You don't need to have that many dishes on the menu, or even every dish every day. Your cooking skills are high enough, to the point where you can choose and you make the rules. You're a good cook, and if you cook as you used to, trust me, you'll be so tired that you want to give up your profession in less than a week. ”

Jiang Feng actually understood, but no matter how he said it, he felt that Sun Maocai was not talking about himself.

Even if he knew very well that he was already higher than the old man in terms of so-called cooking skills, he didn't think that his status in the kitchen would be higher than that of the old man, and he didn't think that he had surpassed the old man.

He felt that he should still be like before, cutting vegetables and chopping stuffing and hanging broth normally every day, and reading his memories at work and work.

As a result, Sun Maocai told him that you don't need to live such a life anymore, because your style is no longer the same, and you can choose how many dishes you cook every day like a chef.

Otherwise, you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work.

"I should ...... now" Jiang Feng was a little incredulous.

"The first thing you have to do now is to adjust your mentality. Sun Maocai said.

"I've listened to your grandfather, some time ago you have been learning from Master Peng and not going to work normally. Because of the restaurant on the top floor, Tai Fung Building's business has not been very good before, so you have been working at full capacity since you came back during this time. I can understand that because I am worried about the business in the store, I want to do more, and if I do more, I can sell more, and this feeling is normal for everyone to have. But it's different now, it's not the same now. ”

"Judging from the feedback from the Midsummer Banquet, it can be seen that you are more popular than me. ”

"The current signboard of Taifeng Building is not me, not your grandfather, not your third grandfather, it's you. ”

"As long as you're there, business won't be bad. ”

"You're the chef. ”

"Have you ever seen a chef in a restaurant who is as busy as you are from morning to night, tired to death? Even Chef Arnold wouldn't be like that, would he?"
