Chapter 229: Talent is Expensive
After watching the process of Chen Fayin's roast chicken and duck, looking at his skillful turning of the pot, heat control, and the timing and amount of adding various seasonings, Zhou An recognized Chen Fayin's cooking skills.
Waiting for Chen Fayin to bring the cauldron to the small stove next to it and simmer over low heat, Zhou An glanced at the small fire size he adjusted, and walked over to smoke him with a smile.
"Master Chen, good work! Come on, smoke a cigarette!"
Chen Fayin wiped his hands on his apron, took the cigarette with a smile, lit the fire that Zhou An lit for him, took a puff, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that it will take forty or fifty minutes, there is less time, and the duck will not be rotten!"
At this time, Tian Lu came in from outside, and Zhou An said to him: "Cousin, did you hear it?" In these two pots, one is braised chicken and the other is beer duck, the chicken will be about half an hour, you remember to taste it, turn off the heat, and wait for about fifty minutes for the beer duck, anyway, these two pots will be handed over to you!"
"Oh, okay, no problem!"
Tian Lu glanced at Chen Fayin and agreed.
After explaining the matter to Tian Lu, Zhou An turned his face to Chen Fayin and said, "Master Chen, let's go out and talk? ”
"Okay, let's get out!"
……
As soon as he returned to the front hall, Zhou An smiled and said to Chen Fayin: "Master Chen, I have no problem here, when my new store is renovated, the kitchen will still be handed over to you, how much salary do you think is appropriate?"
Chen Fayin was surprised, "Boss Zhou, you haven't tried those two dishes yet?"
Zhou An smiled, "No need, I've already seen how Master Chen burned it just now, I believe that the taste of burning according to your method will not be bad, let's talk about salary!"
Chen Fayin glanced at Zhou An and nodded slightly, "Okay, it's still refreshing to deal with insiders! Boss Huang asked me to try the dishes, but he called a group of friends to try them!"
After a pause, he offered the price, "If you ask me to manage the entire kitchen, then the salary will definitely be a little higher, 6,000 a month, Boss Zhou, do you think it's okay?"
6000……
Even if it is put in Yinma County in 2018, this is also a considerable salary, and now the entire Yinma County is more than a few hundred yuan per month, and the salary of one or two thousand is not bad, and those who can get three or four thousand are the high salaries in the minds of many people.
But Zhou An knows that 6,000 is a normal salary for a slightly larger restaurant chef.
With Chen Fayin's skills, if he goes to a big city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, even if he doesn't become a chef, his salary will not be lower than 6,000 this year.
Nodding, Zhou An stretched out his hand, "Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation?"
Chen Fayin was stunned, and then held Zhou An's outstretched hand with both hands with a bright smile, "Happy cooperation! Boss Zhou, don't worry! Since you believe in me Lao Chen, I will definitely take care of this piece of kitchen for you in the future! If there is any problem, you look for me!"
"I believe! Master Chen can prepare when he goes back today, and in half a month, our new store should be able to open, and at present, there is still one shortage of the master who has good skills, and there is a shortage of two for cutting and matching, well, the master of the steaming stove is also missing one, and the aunt who washes the dishes and does hygiene should be missing one each, Master Chen can handle it, right?"
"Hehe, don't worry! I have a candidate! These people are easy to find!"
……
Seeing off Chen Fayin, who was smiling all over his face, Zhou An turned around and saw Tian Lu coming out of the kitchen with a look of surprise on his face.
"Xiao An, you give this old guy 6,000 yuan a month? This is too high, isn't it? 6,000! Are you crazy?"
He had just been in the kitchen and had apparently heard the conversation in the antechamber.
Zhou An glanced at him amusedly, "Cousin, manpower is not valuable, but talent is very expensive! His craftsmanship is worth this price, if you don't believe it, wait for the braised chicken and beer duck to be cooked, you can try the taste and know!"
"How delicious can it be? It's not like I haven't eaten braised chicken and beer duck......" Tian Lu muttered suspiciously.
Zhou An smiled and didn't argue with him.
When Shimoda Ritsu tastes it, he naturally won't doubt it anymore.
……
On the way out of the rampaging crayfish and on the way to the parking lot to pick up the motorcycle, Chen Fayin, who was full of smiles, made a phone call to Qu Yanyang.
As soon as the phone rang, he laughed and said: "Xiaoqu, I just came out of the raging crayfish, and I heard Boss Xiao Zhou say that you highly recommended me to him, thank you! Do you have time tonight? I invite you to have a meal!"
On the other end of the phone, Qu Yanyang, who was watching TV at the bedside of the rental house, muted the TV, and after listening to Chen Fayin's words, she was a little surprised, but responded quickly, "Oh, Master Chen, you are in a good mood with this voice, have you already negotiated?"
Chen Fayin: "Yes, it has just been settled! The kitchen is in charge of me, and the salary is the same as what Huang Jinsheng gave me before, which is very good! In short, Xiaoqu! Thank you for your recommendation this time!"
The salary is the same as before?
Qu Yanyang was another accident.
That young man was willing to give Chen Fayin such a high salary? Before, he obviously didn't want to invite Chen Fayin......
"Hehe, you're welcome! Master Chen, you're too polite! Congratulations, congratulations! You don't have to invite me to dinner, well, Master Chen, I got your heart, okay?"
"This ...... Hehe, that's okay, the coming day will be long, let's find another opportunity in the future. Oh, by the way, Xiaoqu, I heard Boss Xiao Zhou say, you won't come back to work this time, is it because he doesn't pay you enough?"
Qu Yanyang smiled, "That's not it, we didn't talk about the salary at all, I have already found a job, and I don't want to resign for the time being!"
"Oh, that's a pity, it looks like I can't be a colleague with you anymore!"
"Hehe, Master Chen is too exalted to me, Xiao Zhou's new store, with me or not, it's all the same!"
……
The two chatted for a few words and ended the call.
At the end of the call, Qu Yanyang sat at the head of the bed with his legs in his arms and was in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly sighed lightly, looking a little emotional.
……
That night, the working meal in Zhou An's store included braised chicken and beer duck made by Chen Fayin, and Tian Lu, who was in charge of the working meal, only made a mapo tofu and a stir-fried green vegetable today.
It stands to reason that mapo tofu is also a favorite dish for many people, Tian Lu has done it a few times before, and there are many people who eat it each time, but today, watching everyone's chopsticks frequently stretch out to braised chicken and beer duck, and the mapo tofu and fried vegetables he made are like those raised by his stepmother, and he barely moved, Tian Lu's face was a little unbearable.
"Hmm, this beer duck is so fragrant, delicious!" this is Xiaoxia's admiration.
"Wild dog, when did you get so good at your craft? This chicken and duck burn so well? I can't believe it!" Da Han spit out a duck bone and gave Tian Lu a thumbs up.
Even Da Luo, Tan Guang and the others looked at Tian Lu several times with impressive eyes.
Tian Lu glanced at Zhou An with a dark face, thought about it, and admitted expressionlessly: "I didn't cook these two dishes, I came to apply for the head chef today, and these two dishes were cooked by our new head chef!"
