Chapter 15: Steamed Crabs
Su Changqing walked into the private room with sweat on his forehead.
Outside the door, Tao Xian asked Foreman Zhao, "What happened?"
Foreman Zhao knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would be in trouble today, such as a funeral examination and approval: "In the kitchen, they explained in the afternoon, they made a new autumn dish, called white jade chrysanthemum, and let it be sold to guests, and the price was the same as Buddha jumping over the wall." I took a look at it, and it was a piece of tofu cut and drizzled with a few drops of soy sauce. I agreed when Su Dong agreed......"
Foreman Zhao probed his brain into the private room of the Lin family, and sighed again and again! He was not afraid that the guests would return the dishes, even if it was a small problem for him to pay for the dishes, he was afraid that his foreman's position would be erased.
The Su family is in a recession now, but the worse the business, the more fierce the fight between these waiters becomes. First, I have time to be idle, and second, everyone wants to make more money. A few senior waiters, seeing that the table was not as good as a day, they stared at the position of the foreman, but they were staring at the backbone of Foreman Zhao, and wanted to bite him off the horse every minute and go on by himself.
Tao Xian's slightly charming peach blossom eyes rose with a bright color, and he was overjoyed: "Is this dish made by Miss Su herself!"
That's right! not only marked the price of Buddha jumping over the wall, but also used tofu, it must be Su Ruotong himself. Thinking of the meals made by Su Ruotong a few times ago, Tao Xian's saliva was about to fall.
Foreman Zhao shook his head blankly, he hadn't heard that Su Ruotong, the eldest lady, could cook.
Tao Xian ignored him, and pulled Chef Charlie towards the private room: "You can also come in and have a look, there is a treasure in it!"
The two entered the private room, but saw Su Changqing looking at the table in a daze, and his tone was a little empty and close to Lin Xinfei. Lin Ling and her husband each had a mobile phone and took photos of the cold dishes on the table.
On the table, three cold dishes have been served, one is a plate of bright red beef arranged in the shape of flower slices, and the other is a duck paw with broccoli, but the target of their photo is placed on the last course.
I saw a thin sweet white porcelain plate that was about to be transparent on the large celadon tray filled with crystal clear ice, and on the plate, nine white chrysanthemums were deftly arranged.
The silk of the chrysanthemum is long and scattered, and the thinness is amazing, exuding an indescribable agility, which makes people look at it, and they don't even think that it is a vegetable at all, but feel that a natural meaning comes to their faces, as if they are still growing on the branches.
Modeling dishes are one of the basic skills of chefs, led by vegetable carving, but most of them are full of craftsmanship. But the plate in front of me is like a work of art carved by the master from white jade, which makes people can't bear to put down chopsticks. It's no wonder that the Lin family hasn't tasted it until now, and they just care about taking pictures excitedly.
As soon as Su Changqing entered the door, he didn't have time to speak, he was attracted by this dish, and the apology words that he had quickly organized in his stomach were needless to say.
This kind of dish, no matter how it tastes, just this craftsmanship is worth the price. What's more, the Lin family looks satisfied, so he doesn't need to apologize, he just has to be close to the Lin family's regular guests.
Chef Charlie's eyes were about to widen when he saw the plate of white jade chrysanthemums on the table. He has been in China for so many years, and he has not come for nothing, at least he can recognize at a glance that the material used in the middle dish is tofu, but it is beyond his imagination that tofu can be cut like this.
The group of people saw that the matter was resolved, and it was not good to disturb the Lin family to eat, so they came out.
Su Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and he was in a very happy mood! Tao Xian was a little impatient, he wanted to return to Su's house as soon as possible and ask Su Ruotong to bring him a dish of this tofu.
The three of them found a private room and sat in it to talk. Tao Xian looked at Chef Charlie, and then at Su Changqing, who was satisfied, and got straight to the point: "Boss Su, Chef Charlie is going to change jobs, and the Su family needs to pay 500,000 yuan in liquidated damages, and give Chef Charlie a salary of 100,000 yuan per month, and bear his residence in the city, as well as solve the problem of his children's schooling!"
Su Changqing is not short of this money, but even the oldest chef in his kitchen can't get this salary and benefits, so he can't help but be slightly stunned. Charlie also lowered his head, he knew that his salary was too high for the Su family.
"The Wei family's western restaurant, not to mention the main store where Chef Charlie is in charge, is just an ordinary branch, with a net profit of this every month!" Tao Xian casually called up a document that had been prepared a long time ago from his mobile phone and showed it to Su Changqing.
Su Changqing didn't take it to heart, but at a glance, he knew that this information was absolutely true, and he couldn't help but be stunned! Tao Xian really has hands and eyes, and he can even get the internal reports of other restaurants.
Not to mention, the profit of the branch of Wei's Western Restaurant is really high enough, even in the off-season, there is a net profit of 200,000 yuan, and on average, the monthly income is about 400,000 yuan.
Such a high profit made Su Changqing look at Tao Xian sincerely: "Mr. Tao, can't you introduce me to another chef who is similar to Chef Charlie from other places, and his treatment can be the same as that proposed by Chef Charlie." In the end, although he was tempted, he still didn't want to fall out with his relatives.
Tao Xian rolled his eyes, he dug Chef Charlie over, did he simply fall in love with Chef Charlie's cooking skills? What he wanted was the popularity of Chef Charlie's previous business in Xinhai City. And Chef Charlie's chef is so easy to find, either to hire abroad, or to dig in a big city, it is not so easy to coax people to Xinhai at this price.
Seeing that Su Changqing was so ignorant, if he had changed others, he would have brushed his sleeves away, looking at the noodles of the dishes made by Su Ruotong, at this moment he just rolled the white of his eyes a little wider, and in a pair of big peach blossom eyes with pink at the corners of his eyes, only the whites of his eyes remained.
Su Changqing was a little distressed, and Chef Charlie's head was burying lower and lower, and at this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly squeaked.
Chef Charlie was embarrassed, he made an appointment with someone to change jobs, but they proposed to find another one with the same level as him, he didn't want him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he took out the phone, and didn't look at who called, and ran away: "Sorry, I'll answer the phone!" hurriedly went out.
Outside the door of the private room, the smell of food wafted over and rushed to the tip of Chef Charlie's nose.
He looked down at the mobile phone screen that was still ringing, but he didn't want to answer, the caller's name lit up on the phone was Wei Zheng.
The taste of Chinese food and Western food is so different, Chinese food is always fragrant like a small hook, all of a sudden into your stomach, to hook out all your gluttony. Chef Charlie didn't eat all afternoon, and his hungry internal organs were dragged by the fragrance from the nearby private room, and they all squirmed, and the top of his heart hurt, and a wave of grievances rolled in his chest!
How did he go from a promising star in the chef world to now that no one wants this step? For a while, Chef Charlie's heart seemed to have a few more blood holes.
"Don't look at it, take it!" At this time, he was tapped on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Tao Xian. Tao Xian lazily looked at the layout of the top floor, sniffed indiscriminately, and leaned at the tip of his nose, and smelled a little different smell from the hot and fragrant smell of various stir-fried vegetables: "Yo, someone is eating steamed crabs, this ginger vinegar smell is really good! Su Changqing, I've already done it." I also added a benefit to you, you can learn to cook with Miss Su in the future, do you want to eat that tofu just now? That's what Miss Su made! If you want to eat, tell the Wei family, you want to leave. ”
