"Chen Fulin, they really left, and they also took most of the cooks. ?? ??? .?r?a n?ena'com" Han Shaobai took a sip of the tea bowl on the table and said.

"It's okay, I've been prepared. Liu Mang smiled: "I will transfer people from upstairs and upstairs." ”

"What about the chef? Who will be the chef?" "I, Lin Xiao, and you." Liu Mang replied.

"Well, it seems that I, the old man, will have to go out of the mountain myself. Han Shaobai said stupidly.

Chen Fulin and the three chefs used to be in charge of the branches of Manhanlou Jingshi, Ganzhou, and Suining. This branch is bound to be unable to operate normally, in addition to mobilizing ordinary chefs, there must be a master chef in charge.

"Lao Liu, how long should I stay?" Lin Xiao had a sad expression.

Lin Xiao's cooking skills are good, but they are limited to hobbies, if he really lets him stand on the stove every day to stir-fry people, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Don't worry, I'll transfer a few chefs from upstairs to help you. When they learn the dishes of Manhanlou, you can let go. Liu Mang replied.

"Well, that's pretty much it. Lin Xiao was relieved.

To be able to be a chef upstairs must be an experienced chef who has been in the kitchen for many years. With a little guidance, you'll be able to get started in no time.

"I'll go to Jing City today. Liu Mang stood up.

"Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you. Han Shaobai nodded: "Let's go separately and keep in touch at any time." ”

Sitting in the car sent by Han Shaobai, it took about three hours on the road for Liu Mang to arrive in Jing City.

"Chef, you're finally here!" said a man in a suit and tie pulled the car door for him.

This man's name is Hao Ren, and he is the floor manager of the upstairs Jingshi branch.

"Chef Chen, are they all gone?" asked Liu Mang.

"The master in charge is gone, and there are only a dozen apprentices left, and I have to close my business for a day today. Hao Ren wiped the sweat from his head and said.

"Can you stop business for a few days?

Tomorrow is an auspicious day, and several couples have booked a banquet with us, and if the business is closed, then they will not be allowed to jump!"

"Okay, I see, you can take me to the kitchen now. Liu Mang thought for a moment and replied.

When I came to the kitchen of the branch, some of the chefs who were gathering to chat immediately took a look.

"Everyone, this is our upstairs chef, Master Liu Mang. Hao Ren introduced.

"It's really Liu Mang!" many people exclaimed.

In terms of fame, Liu Mang can be said to be the first person to cook in China today.

But his appointment as the head chef of Manhan House is still just a rumor in the branch, and everyone is still speculating, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"Guys, it's been a pleasure to work with you. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"It's an honour to work under Chef. One of the chefs said.

"Yes, I guess I can learn a lot by seeing the chef cooking. ”

"I am now announcing that all those who remain will have their salaries increased by 50 percent. This is your reward for not leaving the Manhan Tower. Liu Mang said again.

"Wow!" the cooks cheered. After all, everything is false, real money is real.

After chatting with everyone in the kitchen for a while, Liu Mang came to the warehouse where the ingredients were stored.

"Is that all there is to it?" Liu Mang's brows furrowed.

There are rows of shelves in the warehouse, but some of the places labeled with shark fin, abalone, fish maw, etc., are empty and empty.

"Chef, the ingredients are usually under the control of Chef Chen, I don't know about this. Hao Ren replied.

"Chen Fulin is stealing!" Although he had already expected the result, Liu Mang still couldn't help but be full of anger: "Manhan Mansion is not his private property!

originally thought that Chen Fulin would take away some expensive precious ingredients at most, but he didn't expect that even ordinary scallops and scallops and scallops didn't leave him a trace, purely to embarrass Liu Mang.

"Hurry up and bring the menu for tomorrow's wedding feast. "Angry is angry, and the next thing has to be done.

"Okay. Hao Ren went to get a menu and handed it to Liu Mang. "Don't receive individual guests these days, and concentrate on the wedding banquet and the banquet that has been booked. ”

Liu Mang looked at the dishes on the menu and felt a sigh in his heart.

"These dishes were also set by Chen Fulin, right?"

"That's right, it was ordered by Chef Chen after discussing with the guests. Hao Ren replied.

"What a Chen Fulin, it's really ruthless!"

Many of the ingredients on the menu need to be prepared in advance. For example, shark fin and abalone have to go through several processes such as soaking, steaming, and cooking, and they can't be made in a day and night.

This must be Chen Fulin deliberately ordering a menu with the guests, and then packing all the ingredients away, so that Liu Mang can ride the tiger hard.

"Hey, Master Zhu Daming, have you set off?" Liu Mang immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"You're getting ready to go, aren't you? Okay, you can bring the ingredients from upstairs with you. There are shark fin, abalone, fish maw...... Yes, don't do dry goods, all of them must have already been shipped. What? Not enough? Then you go to the Four Seasons Pavilion and get ......."

"Other fresh ingredients can be guaranteed, right?" Hanging up the phone, Liu Mang asked again.

"The rest is fine, but luckily our suppliers deliver once a day, which is guaranteed. Hao Ren replied.

"If you don't have enough ingredients, you can talk to the guests now and see if you can change the dishes, even if it's a loss of money. Liu Mang thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I'll do it later. ”

There will be more than 100 tables in total for tomorrow's banquet, and the dozen or so novices left now are really enough. Fortunately, Zhu Daming will bring someone over later, which can be regarded as relieving the pressure.

"Brother Lin, how is the situation over there?" Liu Mang dialed Lin Xiao's phone.

"Chen Fulin, this turtle son, even took the pot! Don't let me find this goods!" As soon as the phone was connected, Lin Xiao's angry scolding came from inside.

"You have a wedding feast tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, tomorrow the daughter of the richest man in Ganzhou will get married, and the big people in all aspects will come, if this is messed up, the branch in Ganzhou will definitely not be able to open. ”

"I can't panic now, if I lack anything to buy, I can't buy it, and if I can't buy it, I will go to another restaurant immediately. I will call President Tan Shi later, and ask him to say hello to my colleagues in Ganzhou, and ask them to help us get through this difficulty. ”

Next, Liu Mang called Tan Shi, and Tan Shi readily agreed to help.

Needless to say, Han Shaobai must have encountered the same problem. However, Liu Mang felt that with Han Shaobai's experience and financial resources, he definitely didn't have to worry about it.

"Master Liu Mang, we're here. "Jiangdong Lijing City is not far away, just over an hour's drive.

"Master Zhu, have you brought all the ingredients?" Liu Mang poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhu Daming, then asked.

"I brought it, but I don't know if it's enough. ”

"I'll see. Liu Mang came to the kitchen and checked the ingredients brought by Zhu Daming.

"Manager Hao, the ingredients are not enough, you have to find a way to communicate with the guests to see if you can change a few dishes. Liu Mang said.

"Okay, I'll go talk. Hao Ren immediately hid to the side and made a phone call.

"Boss Wang, I'm really sorry, can you change two dishes? I know, I know, it's our fault...... That's right! Tomorrow's chef will be Master Liu Mang, the god of cooking...... What? As long as it's Master Liu Mang, then the menu is up to us, right? Thank you so much!"

After making the call, Hao Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Chef, it's done!" Those people didn't agree at first, but as soon as they heard that it was your chef, they immediately changed their minds. ”

"Okay, then let's discuss tomorrow's menu right away. Liu Mang beckoned and motioned for everyone to come around.

"There are not enough abalone, and the 'braised one-pin abalone' that was originally one column per person can only be changed to 'peacock abalone fillet' on the sliced dish. Shark fin is also not enough, 'dry braised shark fin' changed to 'three fresh shark fin soup'. There are also dried scallops and fish maw, which will all be prepared tonight......" Liu Mang looked at the menu and arranged everything for everyone.

……

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Mang came to the kitchen. Yesterday, I was busy until about two o'clock in the evening before I went to bed and squinted for a while, so my eyes are now red and red.

"It's hard work! After the busy past few days, I will let everyone take turns to go on vacation, and the cost of the restaurant is all-inclusive. Liu Mang cheered everyone up.

"Thank you, Chef!"

Although Liu Mang has only been in this branch for a day, his attitude and behavior have won unanimous praise from everyone.

"Coffee is here, everyone drink a little to refresh!" Hao Ren walked into the kitchen with a large pot of coffee.

"Manager Hao, there's nothing wrong with the floor, right?" Liu Mang took a sip of coffee and asked.

"The floor is fine, Chef Chen only took the chef away, and the waiters and greeters didn't move. ”

"That's good. I'll leave it to you. ”

"Yes, yes!" Hao Ren nodded repeatedly. secretly said in his heart, although this chef is not very old, he is well organized, behaves in the world and has a humble attitude, no wonder he can become a kitchen god.

This is much better than Chen Fulin who has eyes on the top of his head and calls to the service staff every day.

"Master Liu Mang, can the chicken be served with crispy water?" Zhu Daming ran over and asked.

"I'll see. Liu Mang walked to the long table in the middle of the kitchen, and there were already five or six large basins on the table, which were full of more than a pound of chickens.

"Well, the taste has already entered, I'll hang the last dish of crispy water, and it will be ready to fry by noon. ”

Danghong Fried Chicken is a common side dish in restaurants in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau in China, and is a crispy fried chicken with thin and crispy skin. Many restaurants only serve fried chicken at banquets (mainly wedding receptions). The reason for this is that it is a complicated production process that takes at least one day and one night.

These chickens were marinated yesterday afternoon with salt, sugar, five-spice powder and sand ginger powder, and hung with a dish of crispy water.

A large pot with a diameter of about one meter is placed on the stove, half a pot of water, and a large bottle of white vinegar, Zhejiang vinegar, and maltose are mixed together.

After the slight heat bubbled up, Liu Mang immediately carried the marinated chicken and poured crispy water on it with an iron spoon.

Originally, this dish was supposed to be served as 'a taste of goose', but Chen Fulin took away all the goose in the branch. In no way, Liu Mang had to cook a dish by himself to make up for it, and use his own skills to make up for the difference in ingredients.

There are more than 100 tables of banquets, and more than 10 dishes per table, which is tens of thousands of dishes.

The stir-frying of a small pot must be too busy, and it can only be made in large quantities.

"Everyone remembered what I explained yesterday, right?" After pouring the crispy water on these chickens, Liu Mang knocked on the stove with a frying spoon and said.

"Remember, chef. The newbies who stayed behind replied.

"Don't panic when you get busy, just do the work I assigned to you. ”

Hosting this kind of banquet is a test of the chef's overall planning and coordination skills. If any place is not arranged, it can go wrong.

"The ginger shreds are not enough, and we will use them when we can steam the fish. Mash the garlic paste a little more, and the 'crape myrtle garlic bone' can only have the taste of garlic, and you can't see the garlic grains. I'd rather the guests wait to get angry, and I can't let them scold their mothers after eating......" Liu Mang patrolled the kitchen, checking the progress of the work in everyone's hands.

Being the head chef in a restaurant, especially one of the most well-known and large restaurants, is no easier than leading an army.

Because in addition to your own excellent skills, you must understand everything, you also have to have the ability to command the overall situation.

Most people don't hone in the kitchen for four or five years, and even if they make him a chef, they can't do it.

Liu Mang seems to have the temperament of a leader by nature, although he is usually gentle and elegant, and never loses his temper. But as long as he says something, almost no one wants to disobey it.

Probably this is the charm of his personality.

"Bring the chicken, I'll fry it. At about ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Mang walked to the stove and said.

'Popular Fried Chicken' is equivalent to a cold cut, so you can carry the fried chop and serve it directly when it is ready.

"Zila!" The oil in the pot is 60% hot, and when the marinated and air-dried chicken is put in, layers of fine bubbles immediately emerge.

'Popular Fried Chicken' is fried twice, the first time by soaking the chicken in oil, and the second time by deep-frying the chicken until golden brown and crispy.

This cauldron can fry ten at a time, and it will take more than ten times to fry them all.

Liu Mang wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with a towel on his shoulder, and fished out the first pot of fried chicken.

"Well, it's so fragrant! it's even more fragrant than the 'popular fried chicken' made by Chef Chen before!"

The faint aroma wafted in the kitchen, and many people couldn't help but sniff in.

"Of course, Master Liu Mang is a god of cooking! Can the things made be the same?"

"I don't know how long Master Liu Mang can stay here, if only he could accept me as an apprentice. A young man who was about the same age as Liu Mang and was slaughtering mandarin fish by the water platform said to his companion next to him.

"It's just you? You better learn to kill the fish first! Don't learn to run, you just want to run. His companion sneered.

"Master Liu Mang has a good temper, just ask him if you don't understand anything in the future. ”

"That's ......"
