【Chapter 291】 Top Restaurant
Xiao Feng naturally didn't know that Ginkgo Village would leave an extremely deep and beautiful impression on Yang Zhichao's family, and after the start of the new week, most of his time and energy were involved in the renovation of the restaurant.
Now that it has been recognized by the 'Michelin' organization, the current layout of the private restaurant is a bit unsuitable for future development, and it has become inevitable to carry out necessary renovation and expansion.
Not to mention anything else, just the 'dining comfort', the Xiao family's private restaurant still has a lot of room for improvement.
In the 2010 Michelin Red Guide, the Xiao family's private restaurant was awarded a three-star restaurant, but in terms of dining comfort, it only received three pairs of knives and forks, which is still a long way from the perfect five pairs of knives and forks.
After all, at the beginning of the construction of the Xiao family's private restaurant, they did not expect to be able to enter the ranks of the world's top restaurants, so there was a congenital deficiency in the construction of hardware facilities and the introduction and training of service personnel. Although the top ingredients watered and cultivated by the spiritual spring of the space give the private restaurant great charm, the restaurant can do better!
For this reason, after receiving the approval of the 'Michelin' organization, the upgrading and renovation of the private restaurant is in full swing!
First of all, the size of the restaurant needs to be expanded to meet the influx of diners, otherwise with the current staffing of the restaurant, it is estimated that the reservation list will be lined up until next year.
The current Xiao family's private restaurant only has Xiao Jinhao as a chef and a few assistant chefs, and Xiao Feng will only make a cameo appearance in an emergency, so the chef's strength is quite weak.
These days. The private restaurant not only contacted the recruitment website to openly recruit high-level Chinese and pastry chefs, but also contacted the cooperative restaurants through the relationship of Guò Xiaojia Farm to seek support.
Since the success of Xiao's private restaurant comes from the top-level ingredients and unique dining environment, the chef's own technical level is not strict, in Xiao Feng's view, only the level of a first-class chef is needed to fully present the deliciousness of various top-level ingredients to consumers.
Of course, if there is a higher level of chef who comes to apply. The Xiao family naturally raised their hands to welcome!
A grand job posting and a succession of recommendations from partner restaurants. Private restaurants have successively ushered in some chefs who came to apply, and Xiao Jinhao, as the boss and chef, took on the task of interviewing and studying chefs.
As for Xiao Feng, he is responsible for other matters related to the renovation and expansion of the restaurant.
In view of the great glory that the Xiao family's private restaurant has obtained. The Ginkgo Village Committee approved the application for the expansion of the restaurant in the fastest possible time. A large area of land and water around the restaurant was allocated to the restaurant. Of course. In order to avoid some asset disputes and unnecessary troubles in the future, the Xiao family paid a large amount of money to the village committee, and it was regarded as a land of more than 50 acres on the edge of Jinghu Lake under the name of the Xiao family.
on this. The villagers did not raise any objections, not to mention that the Xiao family has paid enough price, with the huge flow of tourists that the 'Michelin three-star restaurant' will bring to the Jinghu Scenic Area, no matter how much attention and preferential treatment of the Xiao family's private restaurant, it is not too much.
After the change of land use rights, the 'Xiao Family Private Restaurant' hung up a signboard to suspend business and entered the process of comprehensive renovation and expansion.
In order to ensure the style of the entire private restaurant, the expansion project still adopts the traditional wood and stone structure building, which is basically to expand the original private restaurant several times. Of course, in order to meet the needs of large-scale business, the kitchen of the restaurant has become the highest part of the whole project modernization, and a variety of modern kitchenware, electrical appliances and traditional firewood stoves have been perfectly combined to create a unique top-notch kitchen!
The Xiao family had sufficient funds and a large amount of top-quality timber was stored in the warehouse, so the entire expansion project progressed very smoothly with the full efforts of Yaozhou No. 1 Construction Company.
In addition to being responsible for the overall planning, Xiao Feng also has another important task, that is, transplanting and cultivating all kinds of exotic flowers and plants for the new private restaurant to create a top-notch dining environment!
In just two days, the original location of the restaurant became a huge construction site, full of enthusiasm for construction with roaring construction machinery and boiling human voices.
Although the construction site has had a certain impact on the tranquility of the scenic spot, the villagers did not raise any opinions, because they knew that the reopening of the restaurant would bring huge benefits to the whole village!
Short-term inconvenience, usher in more benefits, this account will be counted!
…………
At the same time that the renovation and expansion project of the Xiao family's private restaurant is in full swing, in a family in the urban area of Yaozhou, a controversy is unfolding!
The news that the private restaurant of Ginkgo Village won the 'Michelin' three-star Chinese restaurant has spread throughout the dining industry in southern Yunnan in a very short period of time, after all, this title is the supreme honor of the food industry. When the news spread, a bombshell was dropped in the food world, and all the practitioners were dizzy!
As the earliest five-star hotel in Yaozhou, the restaurant of Yaozhou Century Hotel has always been the vane of Yaozhou's top catering industry, but now this title is about to fall.
As the executive chef of Century Hotel, Qin Weiguo also felt that this was a natural thing after hearing the news, and he did not feel too much surprise.
In fact, Qin Weiguo may be the first top chef in the Yaozhou catering industry to contact the Xiao family's private restaurant, and he is also the industry insider who knows the restaurant the most.
In all fairness, in addition to the large gap between the Xiao family's private restaurant and the top high-end restaurants in terms of dining environment and service, it is also a comprehensive leader in dishes. It is not a difficult thing for the dishes of the private restaurant to conquer the inspectors of the 'Michelin' organization, but Qin Weiguo himself did not expect that in just one year, the Xiao family's private restaurant has come to this point.
When the news of the big recruitment of the Xiao family's private restaurant spread, Qin Weiguo was immediately moved!
As a chef, it is a great honour to be able to work in a 'three-Michelin-starred restaurant', which is a crucial addition to a chef's resume.
Therefore, Qin Weiguo submitted an application for employment to the Xiao family's private restaurant as soon as possible, and submitted a request to the Century Hotel to resign.
However, Qin Weiguo's move to cut first and then play was strongly opposed by his wife after returning home!
"No, I don't agree!" Luo Yuru's head shook like a rattle, voted no, and said, "You go to work in Ginkgo Village, what should I do?"
Although Ginkgo Village is only 200 kilometers away from Yaozhou City, and the highway has been built for a long time, in Luo Yuru's opinion, this distance is still out of reach.
In fact, it's not that Luo Yuru is too unreasonable, but because couples who have been married for three or five years are most likely to have a cold period, and if they are separated, it is easy to have problems. This kind of thing happens frequently between the sisters around her, so she subconsciously opposes her husband going to work in Ginkgo Village!
"Wife, listen to my explanation!" Qin Weiguo also estimated his wife's strong opposition in advance, but he didn't mess up the phalanx, put his hands on Luo Yuru's shoulders, looked directly into her eyes, and said: "You also know the important position of 'Michelin three-star restaurant' in the catering industry, if I can work in the Xiao family's private restaurant for a few years, with this resume, I will have more confidence to open my own restaurant in the future." ”
Although Qin Weiguo is now the executive chef of Century Hotel, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, he still has the dream of opening his own specialty restaurant in his heart. This time, I applied for the Xiao family's private restaurant, and I was very interested in realizing my dream in the future.
As soon as she heard her husband's words and thought of her husband's dream, Luo Yuru's eyes suddenly softened a lot, but this was only for a moment.
"As for your work, it's very easy to do, and you will also go to Ginkgo Village to work!" The change in his wife's eyes did not escape Qin Weiguo's observation, and he then said: "I have inquired, Ginkgo School is a comprehensive school built by the municipal government, whether it is the amount of investment, teachers or development prospects, it is one of the best in Yaozhou and even southern Yunnan Province, and it is not easy for ordinary teachers to transfer in." As for Niuniu, she can enter the kindergarten of Ginkgo School, and it will not affect the child's future!"
I have to say that in order to go to work in Ginkgo Village, Qin Weiguo made sufficient preparations, felt all kinds of situations clearly, and even made a coping plan.
"It's not impossible!" As soon as she heard Ginkgo School, Luo Yuru's tone immediately softened.
As a backbone teacher of a primary school in Yaozhou, Luo Yuru naturally knows the advantages of Ginkgo School, and when she followed the school leaders to visit Ginkgo School, she was extremely envious of the teaching environment and salary level of Ginkgo School. In addition, Luo Yuru, who has been to Ginkgo Village several times, also has a great impression of this small mountain village, and it is also an extremely pleasant thing to be able to work between mountains and rivers.
As for Niuniu, being sent to a ginkgo school with such good conditions since she was a child is also a good starting point for her future.
The only thing that makes Luo Yuru feel uncomfortable is that when she goes to Ginkgo Village, she can't be like now, she can go to the supermarket, go to the store and watch movies, etc., and she has to learn to stay away from urban life.
"Anyway, we have a car at home, so let's rest on the weekend and then drive back to the city!" Qin Weiguo struck while the iron was hot and put down the last straw in his wife's heart.
In the end, Luo Yuru reluctantly agreed with Qin Weiguo's statement, but it still depends on the follow-up transfer and enrollment procedures, after all, it is not a trivial matter to move the family to Ginkgo Village.
Dialogues similar to those that took place in Qin Wei's country have been staged in southern Yunnan and even in many places across the country, and the Xiao family's private restaurant is stirring up the domestic catering industry!
It has to be said that the attraction of top restaurants to industry insiders is unparalleled! (To be continued......
