Chapter 7 You can't afford to hire this chef
Li Jianguo is a capable person in the village, and he worked with an engineering team when he was young, so the bricklayer and carpenter will order, if you want to say that the craftsmanship is very high, it is a compliment, but it is not a problem to make a high and low cabinet for the village. With this craft, Li Jianguo earned a little money when he was young, and later caught up with the good times, he got a furniture factory in the town, operating some beds, bookcases, tables, chairs and benches, and occasionally helping some brands to do OEM, his own furniture factory is just doing some business in the surrounding towns, relying on a cheap and sturdy, so there is no big money, but the small money is constant, and the life is good.
Therefore, the Li family got married, and it was a beautiful event, and among the guests invited were not only from the town and village, but also from the city, but these people were all distinguished guests to the Li family, and they belonged to the special arrangement of a single classroom. Originally, Zhang Wei could also enjoy this kind of separate arrangement, but he went to be a cook in an emergency, and this kind of treatment was naturally gone, but what he gained was the change in the village's perception of him.
There is nothing to hide in the countryside, everything that happened last night, in the morning, the people in the village all knew, originally Zhang Wei brought a billion investment (Li Juan was afraid of causing trouble for his son, so he said so), and contracted the Dafang Mountain unfinished project to make him a well-known figure in the village, after last night's incident, Zhang Wei improved his prestige. No, when he came to the cooking place early in the morning, the aunts who helped the cook brought their own handsome marriageable girls with them, hoping to make Zhang Wei look twice, and even some people with flexible brains sent their male juniors to help the cook, hoping to leave a good impression on Zhang Wei, maybe they would be able to make friends with Zhang Wei in the future and embark on a different path. Zhang Wei was quite speechless in this regard, but he had to say hello to these men and women of the same age.
The groom Li Xin went to pick up the kiss, Zhang Wei began to be busy, washing, preparing food and other things are handled by the aunts, Zhang Wei is only responsible for the spoon and the food.
Today is not better than last night, yesterday only need to make eighteen dishes out, and today's guaranteed calculation is thirty tables, if there are many people, forty tables are possible, so early in the morning to start the cold dishes on the plate first, and when the wedding is over, the cold dishes must be served on each table immediately.
Thirty tables are guaranteed, and one table of cold dishes is eight, which is 240 cold dishes, and generally speaking, in order to prevent the occurrence of insufficient meals, another five tables should be prepared, which is 280 cold dishes. So many dishes say that most of them need to be cut, even if it is only plated, it takes a lot of effort, why don't some chefs accept this kind of wedding banquet, it's not that they can't do it, the key is that there is no similar experience, and it is too tiring to do these alone.
Zhang Wei had no distractions in the back kitchen to cut and prepare all kinds of cooked food, and soon, the eight cold dishes had been plated separately and placed on a long table one by one. After the cold dishes were prepared, there was a burst of firecrackers outside, and Zhang Wei, who heard the movement, knew that this should be the arrival of the bride, calculate the time, from the bride entering the house to the end of the wedding, a total of two hours. The hot dishes have been prepared, the plum cabbage button meat has been put on the cage drawer, and the remaining dishes are only fried at the beginning of the wedding, and now the weather is cold, and the hot dishes are fried early, and they will soon cool down, so Zhang Wei wiped his hands, sat aside and lit a cigarette to rest.
The young people who helped the kitchen couldn't understand the good intentions of the elders, and when they saw that Zhang Wei was busy and didn't talk much, they made excuses to go to the front to see the bride one by one, and Zhang Wei had to chat with the aunts.
After a while, the salute rang out, and Zhang Wei knew that this meant the official start of the wedding, so he stood up and began to cook hot dishes.
The wedding started as planned on a platform set up in the square of the village primary school at an auspicious time, and most of the guests invited had already arrived to watch the ceremony, and the aunts began to serve the cold dishes to the prepared table in an orderly manner, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, not long after the wedding began, the sky began to flutter snowflakes, in this case, the wedding was originally some
The show was forced to cancel because it was a bit cold. So under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, let the little couple talk about the love history, the two sides had some small interactions, visited their parents and relatives, and after getting the red envelope, the friends of the little couple followed the commotion a few times, and began to let the guests transfer to the prepared classrooms.
Not long after the wedding began, the wedding manager asked people to run to the kitchen, telling Zhang Wei about the compression of the ceremony time, and asked Zhang Wei to ensure the speed of hot dishes.
This sudden situation made Zhang Wei speed up himself, fortunately, there were enough temporary stoves, Zhang Wei set up a large pot, which was specially used for frying things, and the other pot was specially used for sauce, which improved a lot of speed, but there were certain requirements for the chef to control the heat, and it also tested physical strength.
However, these two points are not a problem for Zhang Wei at all, and he is already three or four times that of a normal person with an average of more than 30 comprehensive concrete data of his body, which is much stronger than some people who receive physical training all year round. As for the heat, as long as the physical fitness and observation can keep up, it is not a problem for Zhang Wei, who has the cooking inheritance of the elf clan.
After the ceremony, the bride and groom began to toast from table to table, and the hot dishes were served one by one without delay.
Li Jianguo was accompanying guests in a classroom with only one table, and the visitors in this classroom were all VIPs, including two cadres from the town, and the rest were some big bosses whom Li Jianguo had met in business.
One of these bosses is named Liu Bin, this Liu Bin has a lot of industries, the most profitable should be two coal mines, among his many industries, there is a furniture factory, the production of furniture is sold all over the country, in the peak season of furniture sales, Liu Bin often throws some small orders to Li Jianguo OEM, is Li Jianguo's great benefactor. Liu Bin is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and he is also a well-known rich man in Sanmen City, this person has a good reputation, a bold personality, and is righteous, and there is nothing to dislike the poor and love the rich or bully others, otherwise he would not have participated in the wedding of Li Jianguo, the son of a small supplier.
A couple of newcomers took the lead in the room to toast and left, Li Jianguo beckoned everyone to start moving chopsticks, Liu Bin is also considered to have eaten a lot of delicacies and seafood, for the dishes of the rural flowing water table is not to raise any appetite, but out of politeness, or a chopsticks cold salad three silk into the bowl, unexpectedly after tasting, suddenly the eyes lit up, and tried other cold dishes one after another, for the cooked goods bought such as roast chicken, he did not taste anything special, but he ate different flavors of the prepared cold dishes.
A table of people tasted the cold dishes, and a town cadre said, "Hey, this cold dish tastes good." ”
"Well, indeed, it's no worse than the imperial imitation dish. "One boss made a comparison.
"You can pull it down, I think this taste is much better than the imperial imitation, but this roast chicken and fried fish are not good. Another boss said.
Liu Bin saw everyone speak, put down his chopsticks, and praised: "Lao Li, the chef you invited is good, where did you find it?"
Li Jianguo had his own concerns, and he didn't want to mention Zhang Wei, so he simply said: "It's the people of our village, if you like to eat, eat more." ”
While talking, the hot dish also came up, Li Jianguo persuaded two glasses of wine, and several people began to eat the first hot dish, and still got a piece of praise, the only flaw is that the meat itself is a little problematic, but the taste has been unanimously recognized by everyone.
Zhang Wei finished the last dish in the back kitchen, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's done." ”
Wiping his hands, Zhang Wei just sat down to rest for a while, but the voice of the elf heart came to his mind.
"Congratulations Zhang Wei, your intelligence has increased by 0.0002, your strength has increased by 0.007, and your speed has increased by 0.
009, tolerance increased by 0.0008, keep up the good work. ”
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you free today?"
"It's a little weird that your overall physical quality has improved, I'm curious. ”
"What's weird?"
"Didn't you notice that the speed of your power was a zero less than the materialized value?"
Zhang Wei thought about it for a moment and said in surprise: "The strength has increased by 0.007, and the speed has increased by 0.009, which is ...... Two zeros, not three zeros, what's going on?"
"I don't know, I was in an unconscious state just now, what did you do to increase your strength and speed so much?"
"I've been cooking just now, and I haven't ......," said Zhang Wei, and suddenly said: "Could it be because I fried a big pot of vegetables and cut vegetables very quickly just now?"
Elf Heart said: "It shouldn't be, you have been stir-frying a lot at home these days, and the dishes have been cut quickly, and they have not improved so significantly." ”
"Uh...... Will it have anything to do with the time, I start cooking in the morning, and the whole process takes at least three or four hours, and usually at home it is only half an hour at most. ”
"As far as I know, the special effect of the title 'Half-Elf Who Loves Life' will not produce such a large increase in the number of times and time, but you can try it again, if it really has something to do with time, it means that your title has a special mutation around you. ”
Hearing what the Elf Heart said, Zhang Wei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, if the Elf Heart was right, then there would be a shortcut to his future improvement, which was a big deal. But look around, the dishes that can be done are basically done, and the remaining dishes are standby, and they can't be operated, in the face of this situation, Zhang Wei wants to go home and continue cooking, after all, there are a full refrigerator of dishes to cook at home, and you have to completely wash, choose, cut, and fry by yourself, which can test the guess of the elf's heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei couldn't sit still, got up and was about to go home, but when he went out, he almost ran into two people, and looked up to see that one of them was his father Zhang Yonggui, and the other was the head of the wedding, Li Xin's third uncle Wang Jianjian.
Zhang Yonggui came over in the morning when Zhang Wei helped the Li family manage the wedding banquet kitchen, and he was a little uneasy, but Li Jianguo insisted that Zhang Wei's craftsmanship was absolutely passable, and the owner of the family said that there was no problem, if Zhang Yonggui insisted, it seemed that he didn't want his son to do this, so he agreed. Just after tasting the food on the table, Zhang Yonggui was relieved, and planned to come over to see if his son had eaten, but he met Zhang Wei and was leaving.
Before the father and son could speak, another person suddenly appeared and asked, "Young man, are you the chef of this wedding banquet?"
Zhang Wei looked at the visitor, although he didn't know him, he still nodded and said, "Yes, something?"
After tasting all the hot dishes, he felt that the taste was very good, better than the executive chefs of some big restaurants, so he had the idea of recruiting this chef to cook for his own family, so he came to find him.
Liu Bin didn't know Zhang Wei, so he said directly: "Young man, I want to invite you to my house as a chef, and I will give you a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, how about it?"
Hearing Liu Bin say this, the Zhang family's father and son were stunned, but the head manager Wang Jianshe said: "Man, don't be joking, I'm afraid you can't afford to hire this chef." ”
Liu Bin saw the expressions of the Zhang family's father and son, and also heard Wang Jianjian's words, he was a little confused, and said: "I'm not kidding, if you are too little, I will pay fifteen thousand." ”
