Chapter 161: The Fairwin Hotel
I pulled the goods and walked into the back gate of the large hotel in front of me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is a large hotel where I often deliver goods. Speaking of large, why do you call him large? Because he is the tallest third-order hotel in this city! In a fourth-order town with a population of more than hundreds of thousands, a third-order hotel appreciates such an insignificant little person as me and asks me to deliver goods, which really flatters me!
I tied the wagon and carried the goods off the wagon, which were basically high-quality ingredients. It is also the only high-grade material on my carriage. Of course, the Fairwin Grand Hotel is the only place in town where I deliver these high-end ingredients. As long as I finish this trip, my business for today will be over.
They were placed on the cart that I had already prepared for the Grand Hotel. Then I closed the carriage door and pulled it out to the back kitchen of the hotel. I've been on this path for months, and I'm already very familiar with it. But for such a spacious and smooth road, I can't help but sigh in my heart.
When will I have my own storefront? I don't want to stand like the Fairwin Hotel in the middle of town, or even be used as a landmark. But as long as I have a small place to sell things and live in them, I am satisfied.
"Mr. Li, these are the ingredients you ordered. I've sent it here, excuse me, where do I put it?" I walked into the main kitchen room behind the hall and greeted and asked them. These ingredients are already processed meat products that do not require the initial step of cleaning. Even if you want to go through the process of picking and removing the blood, you have to go through the chef's cutting.
"Put it in its original position. Mr. Li ignored me indifferently, and continued to talk to the chef in front of him, wearing a high hat and wearing a white chef's costume, with a sad face. The chef's clothes were much better than those of the chefs around him, and he was the head chef in the higher position in the field. The chef and I have a good relationship, and he went to play cards with me last week, and his poker skills are quite good, so I don't know if I am free today.
Well...... His expression is similar to that of Mr. Li now, and his face is also dull, frowning and worried, he should have no chance.
I put my belongings away, and was about to walk out of the kitchen. But he was stopped by the chef, who had a good relationship: "Don't be in a hurry to leave! I want to ask you for a favor!"
Hearing his words, I turned my head a little puzzled and looked at him. How much help can a businessman who runs a business give them. There are not enough gold coins to supply such a third-order hotel, and there are no special side skills that can help here. Out of a friend, I still replied to him, don't lose his face, I want to ask what is the matter first, and then make a decision: "What is the matter?" If I can help, I will definitely do my best to help you!"
The head chef nodded excitedly, stepped forward, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "I'm not going to be polite to you anymore, I'll just talk about what happened a few days ago." ”
He began to talk about the other day: "A few days ago, a guest came to our hotel. ”
"Hmm......" The head chef lowered his head and sorted out his thoughts again.
"That's right, he's not here to order, not to be in a private room, and not to come to the house!" said the head chef a little mysteriously. As if he wanted me to ask questions, he would continue to talk when he became interested.
"It's not polite, just tell the content. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you. I looked at him helplessly. This guy eats fat and fat in the hotel, and his mouth is naturally full of oily tongue.
"Ahem, then I'll get to the point!" the head chef pretended to clear his throat and continued, "That guest brought some ingredients himself, and our manager was so frightened that he ran down! ”
He nodded at Mr. Lee, who was leaning against the wall and thinking. Mr. Lee is responsible for the management of the entire hotel and takes care of everything. He has two main subordinates, one is the general foreman of the management service, and the head chef who manages the ingredients and production.
"Hmm, what is it that makes you go through such a lot of trouble?" I asked, confused. In this third-order hotel, you can invite the highest manager if you send an ingredient. Moreover, this ingredient is probably very related to what they are worried about now. That's more curious.
The head chef pulled his shoulders and whispered to me, "It's the back of a fourth-order demonic beast!"
When I heard this, I was taken aback and let out the word 'ah'. Immediately, I quickly leaned down, covered my mouth, and whispered to the chef, "This, is it really the meat of a fourth-order demonic beast?"
"Of course, that's not going to fool you! Ordinary blades can't cut through, and those ordinary metal tools, even if we go all out to cut, chop, and smash! There are no scratches on this meat! What a hell, I didn't expect this meat to be so hard. If you bite your teeth like this, you will probably have to break a few times. The head chef said with a pained expression.
"Haven't you tried the Formation Knife? It's a tool that cuts iron like paper...... And you're chefs yourself, so you don't think of these advanced cutting tools, right?" The chef himself is equipped with a knife with a pattern. Although those tools are a bit bulky, they are themselves tools made for chopping and dividing the flesh of demonic beasts.
"You're stupid to us! Of course we've tried! But even the knife with the highest fourth-order gold system attached here, it can only be cut one at a time! And our chef naturally knows that if we can't cut it, we can't force it to cut it again, otherwise we will not cut it well, but the knife will be filed and broken!"
"No wonder. I still proposed another opinion: "Then why don't you try to boil the meat first, stew it, and do it for three days and three nights, maybe you can cut it?" If the meat of the monster does not have suitable utensils at home, and cannot be eaten after it rots, then the easiest and most earthy way is to cook it thoroughly.
In this case, it will be possible to cut it with a lower hardness tool.
"Please, man, this is a third-order hotel! The head chef patted me on the shoulder, and under my puzzled gaze, he said, "That guest doesn't just want to eat back to the pot...... The size of the meat was several meters wide, and even if we were to cook it, it would take us several weeks to cook it thoroughly to get all the meat inside. Of course, you say, we can cook a little bit and cut a little bit, right?"
"Hmm!" I nodded without hesitation.
"But the number of people that the guest was going to bring was only four, but they had to eat fresh! Not that the ingredients were fresh, but they had to be cooked on the spot! We could cut the meat, but we couldn't over-steam it, otherwise he would break it in front of us and we would be embarrassed. After all, the taste of this cooked and raw food is definitely not the same for the second processing. Everyone else can afford to eat fourth-order demonic beast meat, but they can't eat this?"
"And, I guess even if he can't eat, he'll bring a gourmand or connoisseur or something like that. The head chef shook his head and said, "The price of fourth-order demonic beast meat is too high, once it is exposed and compensation is demanded, then the wages of all our chefs working here for a few years will not add up!"
I looked at him and said succinctly, "Since you can't do it, you can simply refuse." If you take an order and don't get it right, isn't it the same as the consequences you said? ”
The head chef shook his head and said, "Isn't this the latest addition to a new third-order hotel, and it's not far from us!"
"What does it matter? Are you afraid that he will find a hotel over there? You can't do it, he doesn't know how to do it as a new one, right?" I replied to him, "They have been here for a much shorter time than yours, they haven't been tested a few times, and their reputation is not as good as yours." Otherwise, how could this customer with a fourth-order demonic beast meat find you first, instead of them?"
"But the head manager, the owner of this hotel must let us pick it up! If it doesn't work, we'll go to him to solve it!" The head chef said with some disdain: "A big man who sits in a high position every day, what level can he have, and he still goes to him to solve it? I look at his thin arms and legs, and I know that he is a person who is used to sitting and can't exercise!"
"You're different...... "I scanned his figure up and down.
"I, I'm different! I exercise every day!" the head chef smiled, pulled a piece of meat from the plate on the side, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked me: "This is a side dish that the guests don't want, they have paid for it now, we can eat it, do you want to taste it?"
"No need. At night I had to take inventory and sleep late. Don't want to eat too much greasy food. "I was trying to explain something, but he forcibly stuffed a piece of meat.
"What do you say! Eat more when you go to bed late!" The chef pulled out a few napkins, gave me two, wiped his hands dry, and threw them in the trash. Moving back to the previous topic.
He said: "This is actually a new store manager, haven't you seen it yet? Although he is a newcomer, he is the most powerful shopkeeper after all! The key is that you must also know that this new official has already fired many cooks and waiters. We dare not disobey him. I had to take this stubble head-on. ”
"Are you afraid that your work will not be in place, and you will be fired by him directly? I think you'll be safe to stay here. I said to him encouragingly. The chef, who I have a good relationship with, is very skilled, and the last time I ate meat skewers on the side of the road, he was able to take two handfuls, which greatly improved the taste of the stall owner. I think he can open a small restaurant on his own and make a good career in the local area.
It's just that he often says that the money for living is too tight now, so he should continue to work for a few years.
"Why! You don't know if you're not here! Our chefs on the second and fourth floors upstairs were fired just two days ago!" he said worriedly.
"Ah, isn't it a big change to dismiss two people at once?" I said, a little surprised. This new hotel owner is too ruthless. Isn't it possible to think about the consequences of doing things? This chef is different from ordinary chefs, and it is difficult for ordinary chefs to find the right person to adapt to the kitchen in the first place. Not to mention the most important core chef in the kitchen! They are second only to the head chef! Wouldn't it be a big change to fire two people at once?
"Yes, do you know the reason for his dismissal?" the head chef continued, without waiting for me to reply, "because they didn't clean up the table when they were eating!"
"What......?"
"It's not after eating, it's time to eat!" said the head chef with a helpless face: "We don't dare to stay in the hall to eat for a while now, and we have to eat in a place where others can't see it, or some of them are timid, and they go out to buy food with their own money! ”
"This ......" I couldn't help but feel that the new shopkeeper was too lenient. Isn't it normal to drop some crumbs of food on the side during this meal? Why did you use such a small problem to dismiss two chefs?
No wonder he was nervous, and he was thinking sadly about how to solve the fourth-order demonic beast meat.
If this is not done well, it is the risk of being fired.
