After 3:30 p.m., Zhuang Weiyuan's employees who had not resigned came to the store one after another, three waiters, four cooks, and two aunts who washed dishes and vegetables, just nine people.

If Zhuang Weiyuan is just a small shop, these nine employees are enough.

But the question is, is Zhuang Weiyuan small?

Compared with star-rated hotels, it is naturally small, but compared with other hotels on this street, it is large.

It is comparable to the scale of Zhou An's branch here.

And how many employees are there in the Zhou Ana branch? Twenty or thirty, but there are only nine here, which is obviously not normal.

The expressions of the nine people who entered the store one after another were a little unnatural, mainly Zhou An, Shen Jinke and Yao Jing, all of whom were unfamiliar to them, Zhuang Weiyuan had been sold, they must have heard that they came here to report tonight, it was just because Zhuang Weiyuan was selling too fast, and they hadn't had time to find a new job, so they came here to see if they could continue to work here.

After all, although Zhuang Weiyuan was sold, the scale of this store is here, if they can continue to work here, it is decent to say it, and if the new owner of such a large store keeps them to continue working, the salary will not be too bad.

"Y-Are you the new boss here?"

The waiter who arrived first squeezed out a smile and asked Shen Jinke in the bar, but her eyes swept over Zhou An and Yao Jing's faces, and when she saw Zhou An, she looked a little surprised.

She didn't know Shen Jinke, Yao Jing often came here recently to talk to Gong Yinping about the acquisition, and the waitress had met her a few times, so she was not surprised to see Yao Jing sitting in the bar at this time.

And Zhou An is the owner of the crayfish shop not far away, although she has not dealt with it, she has seen it from afar, so she was surprised to see Zhou An also sitting and smoking in the bar.

How did the Zhuang Weiyuan where she worked fall, how did the three bosses plant it one by one, and she was not deaf, so she naturally heard what was going on.

So when she saw Zhou An, the feeling in her heart was very strange.

It's like seeing a bully, sending other men's men to prison for prison food, and finally occupying other people's houses.

"Yes, you used to work here, waiter?"

Shen Jinke answered.

Waiter: "Yes, I have been working here for more than a year, my surname is Kuang, Kuang Xiaomei! I, do you still recruit waiters here?"

Shen Jinke smiled and nodded, "Well, since you are an old employee here, then we definitely welcome you to continue to work here, by the way, what was your previous salary?"

Kuang Xiaomei was a little surprised, and hurriedly replied: "The basic salary is 600 plus commission." ”

Shen Jinke looked at Zhou An, "Anzi, what do you think?"

Kuang Xiaomei blinked, even more surprised, look at this posture, the owner of this crayfish shop is also one of the new bosses here?

She couldn't figure out for a while, how could Gong Yinping sell Zhuang Weiyuan to this guy?

Zhou An nodded slightly, looked Kuang Xiaomei up and down, and judged from Kuang Xiaomei's speech and demeanor, especially her not very confident eyes, that she should have been just an ordinary waiter, and she was still the kind of person who was not very capable of doing things.

In fact, he has been a man in two lives and has been engaged in the catering industry for more than ten years, and he has seen too many chefs and waiters in all kinds of chefs and waiters, so that most of the chefs and waiters, as long as he looks at them, he can roughly judge the character, craftsmanship, and status of the other party in the kitchen or front hall.

It may sound like a god, but it's actually nothing.

This is like the difference between ordinary people and officials in temperament and conversation.

For those who have a heart, ordinary people and officials can be distinguished at a glance.

"Okay, you can stay, the treatment will remain the same for the time being! ”

Zhou An gave the right words.

Shen Jinke and Yao Jing had no opinion, so the waiter was left behind.

……

Not long after, four chefs of different ages arrived, led by a master in his fifties, followed by a young man in his twenties and two young men of seventeen or eighteen.

As soon as he entered the door, the old master smiled on his face, enthusiastically took out a pack of cloud cigarettes, smoked Shen Jinke and Zhou An, and asked Yao Jing if he smoked by the way?

"Hello three bosses! Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Wang, Wang Guoxing, I used to work here, and the three young people behind me, this one is for me to side dishes, this one is for me to play lotus, and finally this one is for the steaming stove!"

Wang Guoxing pointed to the young man and the two young men with a smile on his face, and asked, "We came here today to ask, are you still short of chefs here? If so, how about you see a few of us? If you need to try the dishes, it's no problem." ”

Yao Jing looked at Zhou An and said with a smile: "Anzi, it's better for you to come! You must know this better than us, Jin Ke and I are both laymen!"

Shen Jinke also looked at Zhou An, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhou An to deal with the four people outside the bar.

Zhou An didn't refuse, and while getting up and walking out of the bar, he motioned to Kuang Xiaomei, who had been determined to stay before, "Xiaomei, can you go and help make a pot of tea?"

Kuang Xiaomei hurriedly got up, "Okay!"

Zhou An, who walked out of the bar, stretched out his hand and asked Wang Guoxing and others to sit not far away.

When he sat down, Zhou An took the initiative to take out a cigarette and smoke the four people, except for the two youngest, Wang Guoxing and the master of the side dishes took the cigarettes.

As the saying goes: Alcohol and tobacco are lubricants among men.

That's right, as soon as Zhou An took the initiative to smoke this gesture, the four people on the opposite side, regardless of whether they took the cigarette or not, looked a lot more relaxed, and they all had a little smile on their faces.

"Master Wang, what kind of dishes are you good at? How many years have you been doing this, and how long have you been making this farm food?"

The reason why I asked the other party how long to cook this farmhouse dish was because Zhou An knew that most professional chefs would not cook farmhouse food.

Ordinary people often have a misunderstanding of the profession of chef, subconsciously thinking that chefs must be delicious when cooking, and chefs who can work in restaurants will definitely be able to make delicious dishes at home.

Therefore, many chefs will inevitably encounter a kind of embarrassment - when they go home or go to a friend's place to play, they are always asked by their family, relatives and friends to show their hands and cook a few good dishes for everyone to taste.

Many people think that this is so easy for a professional chef.

People who have never been a chef rarely know that the chef who works in the hotel has a division of labor, and the chef in charge will naturally cook the dishes, but the chefs who cut, beat, water table, roast, pastry, cold dishes and western pastries may not be able to cook any decent dishes.

Even if he is in charge, once he leaves the hotel kitchen and returns home, he will immediately waste most of his cooking skills in the face of the stove and seasonings at home.

All kinds of discomfort.

In short: the preparation of hotel dishes, stoves, condiments, etc., is completely different from home-cooked dishes.

Farmhouse cooking methods such as Zhuangweiyuan are very close to home-cooked dishes, so for most professional chefs, the practice of farmhouse cuisine is a completely new field.
