Sister-in-law Sun and Chef Zhao's faces changed slightly, they were not very good-looking, and there was some hesitation in the eyes of the two of them when they looked at each other. Of course, the faces of the other two chefs could not hide their joy, it is not a good thing to be cooking and crashing at this time, it is naturally their chance.

The soup hasn't come up yet, and now it's just the dishes, twelve dishes for four people, which is not less, and a table has been set. Lin Yu and Steward Chen tasted everything separately, and they both made up their minds.

Lin Yu first eliminated the chef who had fallen behind in the home cooking link before, his signature dishes were all relatively greasy, although the taste was fragrant, but they were all enhanced by oil. Moreover, the three specialty dishes were all made greasy, Lin Yu suspected that he didn't think about the taste of the diners at all, or was only good at such dishes.

Then there is another chef, who takes into account the tastes of the diners, and the three dishes are different in taste, presenting a layered appearance. But he is really not very good at plating, and the taste is slightly worse than Chef Zhao and Sister-in-law Sun.

But between Chef Zhao and Sister-in-law Sun, Lin Yu made it difficult. In fact, judging from the same dish they cooked, Chef Zhao's level seems to be slightly better than Sister-in-law Sun's. But the advantage of Sister-in-law Sun is that she and her daughter are Lin Yu's people, and they are not easy to have outside hearts, and they have been influenced by Lin Yu a lot and can cook a lot of fresh modern dishes. Lin Yu can also rest assured that she will hand over the recipes to her, and she is not worried that she will stab Lin Yu from behind and set up another stove with these fresh dishes, which Chef Zhao can't do.

Chef Zhao Lin Yu didn't know much about him, and he didn't look very old, only thirty-three or four-year-old. Tall, and a little fat, but not too much, but it adds a bit of honesty and credibility. Tell the point. Chef Zhao is indeed a good cook, almost less than Yin Susu's imperial chef, and it seems a pity to let it go so plainly.

Steward Chen didn't feel that way. Sister-in-law Sun learned the golden grilled fish from Lin Yu that he liked very much, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, but the taste is deep in the fish. The four chefs were apprehensive, but none of them could hear the discussion before they made up their minds, and they all had a soup on the stove. The four of them saluted and went down to continue to take care of the soup, hoping that the soup would add a little bit to themselves.

"Or sister-in-law Sun." Steward Chen thought for a while. "Although she is a woman, her cooking skills are really excellent."

"I think Chef Zhao's cooking skills are also good, strictly speaking, more refined than Sister-in-law Sun. Good cooks are rare, and it's a pity to let them go like this. ”

"That's right, this Chef Zhao has just come to Beijing. Introduced by a friend. I originally thought that his level was just average, but he just sold that friend's face, but I didn't expect Chef Zhao to still have real skills. Steward Chen also said.

"Can this Chef Zhao be trusted?" Lin Yu thought for a while and said, "If you can trust it, I will also hire it, but it is a cost-effective thing to keep a good cook for two hundred taels of silver a year." ”

"Trustworthy, my friend also does things with his wife." Steward Chen thought about it and nodded, "It's okay to hire Chef Zhao, just ask these two people to be in charge of the restaurant's food." One is responsible for the meals delivered to Aunt Chang. Although two hundred taels of silver a year is a lot, you can't afford it, and they will definitely not ask you to lose money. ”

"Aunt Chang?" Lin Yu was very keenly aware of the difference in Steward Chen's words, "What is the relationship between Chang Luo Chang Gongzi and Sister Su Su?" ”

"Didn't Madame tell you?" Steward Chen looked at Lin Yu in some surprise. "It's no secret. Chang Luo Chang Gongzi is his wife's brother-in-law. ”

Chang Luo and Yin Susu are still related? Lin Yu really didn't expect it, he always thought that the two were just friends, and Yin Susu called Chang Luo and never called his uncle. It's kind of weird that they all call them by their first names.

However, there are more things, and Steward Chen is obviously not clear, but he just guesses that Yin Susu is to prevent outsiders from knowing the relationship between the two. Lin Yu didn't believe it very much, she always felt that Chang Luo's story didn't seem to be so simple.

Lin Yu kept this matter in mind, but did not inquire again, and continued to discuss the division of duties between Sister-in-law Sun and Chef Zhao with Steward Chen. Lin Yu thought about it and designated Sister-in-law Sun as the chef who provided catering services to Chang Luo, after all, there were some hidden things over there, and Sister-in-law Sun was more trustworthy.

The two decided on the chef's staff, and the soup of the other two chefs was not so amazing that Lin Yu or Steward Chen changed their minds. Sister-in-law Sun was naturally very happy to hear that she had changed positions, and Chef Zhao was also pleasantly surprised. After all, the salary of a chef in the capital is two hundred taels a year, which is also very amazing.

Chef Zhao was originally from Cangzhou, and his salary for his last job was 80 taels per year, including 6 taels of silver per month and 8 taels of silver at the end of the year, which is already very enviable. Lin Yu calculated when she just left the Hou Mansion that seventy or eighty taels a year would be enough for her and Qingqing to rent a house and live very comfortably. Moreover, the main family also provides food and housing, and there are 2,000 taels of silver after working for ten years, which is enough to go home to buy land and become a small landlord.

Of course, Chef Zhao still has a one-month probationary period, and the official employment will not wait until the official opening of the restaurant, and his task these days is not light, to train a group of skilled apprentices. And Sister-in-law Sun began to officially prepare for delivery services with Chang Luo's Qinglou, Lin Yu didn't plan to make much money in this area, and the cost price of vegetables and labor prices were averaged and increased by one percent, which was not only a small profit but also a thank you for Chang Luo's care.

Chang Luo was very satisfied with Lin Yu's upper path, and Yin Susu also praised Lin Yu in his heart for being a man. After all, Chang Luo's sales are a lot, and Lin Yu has a stable net income of about one hundred taels per month, and he is quite satisfied.

After this thing was done, Lin Yu had to train the practitioners of Yin Susu's Western-style dim sum shop every afternoon, but that work was almost over. After all, Lin Yu only needs to train a batch, and then he can hand over the matter to the best of the first batch, and then think of some fresh snacks from time to time. It doesn't matter if Lin Yu is even talented in Western-style dim sum, you have to believe that there are many people who have a lot of power, and there are already more talented dim sum chefs who have begun to try to develop new products.

After finishing the training of dim sum chefs, Lin Yu has been busy with the theme decoration of the restaurant.

The restaurant under Lin Yu's name has two floors and a huge courtyard at the back, and there are ten small courtyards in the big courtyard. The first floor is the lobby, counter and wine selling place, Lin Yu does not plan to do anything special on this floor, and there is no need to be too luxurious, the style is elegant and generous. On the second floor, there are 12 private rooms of various sizes.

Due to geographical location, Lin Yu's target customer base is basically men. The literati should take into account, the rich and wealthy should naturally be more considerate, the hobbies of the merry young master should be taken into account, and the tastes of the distinguished guests should also be respected. In the twenty-two private rooms, the theme of the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju is just the foundation, and Lin Yu also sets up different styles such as beauty, theme scenery, noble, moonlit night, golden and brilliant. Although there are fewer female guests here, it is not nothing, and Lin Yu also set up a themed private room that meets the aesthetics of women.

Because many of them are Lin Yu's ideas, few people can clearly understand them, and Lin Yu also ran to check them very diligently in order to prevent these people from making mistakes, and he would check the progress almost every day. Steward Chen kept coming and going, helping Yin Susu and Chang Luo to pass the news on the other hand, and on the other hand, he was also very dedicated to the progress of the restaurant. While checking the progress and situation of the renovation, he is also recruiting suitable people, and he does not delay the errands in the dark, and he is indeed a high-level talent. You must know that Lin Yu took care of Qingqing on the one hand (basically she didn't want her to do it herself), and on the other hand, she paid attention to the restaurant and lost three pounds in half a month. What's even more commendable is that after Lin Yu looked at the accounts, he found that the money spent was much less than he imagined, and several boys who followed Steward Chen on errands were also becoming more and more proficient in business.

The days passed day by day, eating spring cakes on the second day of February, and a few days after eating spring cakes, the decoration of the restaurant was basically completed, and Lin Yu was also greatly relieved. The rest of the things are relatively trivial, and there is no need for Lin Yu to stare at it, just as he was about to take a good rest, Lin Yu received an invitation.

Yes, there is more than one invitation, basically a few young ladies I knew before invited Lin Yu to see flowers and grass, write poems and paint. This made Lin Yu a little confused, these young ladies are not the daughters of first-class and second-class adults, they are probably the daughters of middle-class families. What is Lin Yu's current identity? Abandon the concubine!

Even if Yin Susu, Lin Yu and Qingqing had a righteous knot after Mrs. Lin made a big fuss last time, Yin Susu claimed that the two were the righteous sisters of the county lord of Zhaoya, and that it would not erase Lin Yu's black background. What's more, Yin Susu's own identity has some problems, she is a woman who left the house, although most of the public opinion is towards Yin Susu, but there are also sour Confucians who say that Yin Susu should become a monk, even if she doesn't leave home, she has to live in isolation.

Who doesn't know that the correspondence between these aristocratic eunuchs is the most important one, and Lin Yu and these young ladies don't have a deep friendship, how can this inexplicable invitation not make Lin Yu mutter. Lin Yu discussed it with Qingqing, but Qingqing didn't have a good way, so she had to take these invitations and go to Yin Susu.

It's not that Lin Yu doesn't want to ask her, but because Yin Susu has been very busy recently, and the glass will soon be pushed to the market, and the location and decoration personnel of the dim sum shop have been trained for everything, and only the opening is left. Both big businesses will be officially launched immediately, and the original business will have a new start in the new year. Coupled with those things that Lin Yu didn't know about secretly, Yin Susu had to deal with as many things as you can imagine. So although Lin Yu is still living in Lanyuan now, he can't see Yin Susu a few times a day, even when he is eating, someone talks to Yin Susu back.

Yin Susu also knew that Lin Yu would not deliberately cause trouble to himself, so when he saw Lin Yu coming with four or five invitations, he knew that Lin Yu really couldn't handle it. She asked the housekeeper who was waiting for a reply not to come in for the time being, and squeezed out half an hour for Lin Yu.

Although the time was tight, Yin Susu's style was still the same as always, and people put snacks and tea on the table. Yin Susu took a sip of tea from the cup, let out a long breath, and then asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoyu?" Look at you with a look of distress. (To be continued.)
