137 Cooking by Comparison
Busy and busy, before I knew it, before I knew it, the enscriptors came one after another, ten women and twenty-three men. Su Yan asked Shopkeeper Mu to help record the situation of these thirty-three people, the so-called talent pool. Su Yan is engaged in human resources in modern times, and he is naturally the best at picking people, so he asked these people one by one. Among them, there was a man and a woman who applied for the boy, which was very good. The male is called Ah Cai, and the female is called Chunhua. The two have good personalities, flexible mouths, and steady replies, but they are malleable talents, and in modern times, they will definitely be able to be foremen.
In addition, Su Yan picked four men and four women, and the so-called men and women are not tired of working together. After picking people, Su Yan briefly told them about the restaurant management system, and they were surprised to hear that there was family leave here. After that, Su Yan sent them the menus written by Shopkeeper Mu, and the first thing they had to do was to memorize all the names and prices of the dishes, and memorize them early tomorrow morning. If someone doesn't want to do it, they can leave immediately, but because they think that Su Yan's conditions are not bad, no one wants to leave.
As for the recruitment of the head chef and sous chef, Su Yan felt that it couldn't be easy, she took all eight chefs to the back kitchen, and asked them to use the existing ingredients to make two specialty dishes each, and finally Su Yan, Mu shopkeeper, Liu Quanfu, Zhang Gui and the guys from the restaurant tasted it together and voted on who to leave in the end. Su Yan deliberately asked Liu Quanfu to steam the rice first, and with a small calculation in his heart, it was just enough to make afternoon dinner again, hehe.
Looking at the cooking skills of these eight cooks, all of them have really worked as cooks, and no one is indiscriminate. There are stir-fried, stewed, fried, cold salad, pastries, steamed buns, and soups, but it is really complete. Among them, there is an eighteen-year-old young man named Wang Yifan, who is very handsome, looking at him, Su Yan always thinks of Xiao Shou in Tan Meiwen, which is too standard.
Looking at his cooking skills, he was a little rusty compared to the other seven people, Zhang Gui looked at Wang Yifan who was a little in a hurry, kept shaking his head, and said in Su Yan's ear: "I don't think this young man can succeed." ”
Liu Quanfu interjected, admiring this young man very much: "I think it's good, although his cooking skills are a little jerky, but his cooking method is quite special." You see, he and the short man are both making back to the pot meat, and the back pot meat he makes is better than the short one. ”
Zhang Gui pursed his lips and looked at it: "It's true, but it's not enough to just look good, it depends on the taste." ”
After the eight cooks were ready, it was time for lunch, a full sixteen dishes, and it would be a waste not to eat them. Su Yan simply summoned all the people in the restaurant, put together four square tables, and all of them sat together, nominally to taste the food, but in fact to have a dinner.
Su Yan asked the shopkeeper Mu to say a few words to everyone, the shopkeeper Mu thought for a while, and picked up the cup: "Let's get to know everyone formally, I am Mu Yunsong, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, sitting on my left hand is Su Yan, the second shopkeeper of the restaurant, on my right is Mrs. Zhang, and the two here are the chefs of the restaurant, Liu Quanfu and Zhang Gui. Today, with the help of the dishes that the eight chefs competed in, we drank it first. No matter which four chefs stay in the end, our restaurant welcomes them. I also regret the four who didn't stay, but the future is long, and if there is fate, I will meet them in the future. Come, let's have a toast first, and wish the restaurant a prosperous business! ”
It was the first time that the shopkeeper and his men had eaten and drank at the same table. In this era, there are more or less differences in status and status, and when the boss eats, the guys usually only stand and watch, or make a small table to eat alone. Looking at this table happily, even if it is a guy who has just arrived, he also feels warm in his heart.
"!" Everyone picked up the teacup and drank it happily.
After drinking, it is time to taste the dishes. Su Yanjia's first chopsticks dish is the short man's back to the pot meat, and the second chopsticks are Wang Yifan's back to the pot meat. The well-done back to the pot meat, the meat slices are fat and thin, golden and bright oil, although the garlic seedlings are cooked, they are still innocent and distinct, and the meat slices are shaken with chopsticks, and they taste fat but not greasy, and there are eleven kinds of meat practices that Su Yan knows. The short man and Wang Yifan have the same method of making back to the pot, and the color will be so different when they are made, it is a matter of heat. The short man's back to the pot meat is fat but not greasy, and the taste is also very good, but the garlic sprouts are too yellow and don't look good. And Wang Yifan's back to the pot meat tastes light, but it is a little greasy, the meat slices are cut a little thickly, but the point of the side dish is just right, the garlic seedlings are innocent and distinct, and they are full of appearance.
Liu Quanfu and Zhang Guiqi looked at Su Yan, the master, but Su Yan didn't say anything at all, and went straight to the next dish of steamed fish, followed by wine stewed elbows, cooked beef, mapo tofu, sugar steamed eggplant, pork kidney porridge, pork belly porridge, spiced cake, meat pancakes, hand-grabbed mutton, lily chicken yellow soup, angelica ginger mutton soup, fried scallion pancakes, braised fish.
It's been a long time since the guys have eaten such a good dish, and they all licked their noses and swept away all the plates. However, sweeping away does not mean that everything is good, after all, it still has to be compared with the high. After a full meal, Su Yan asked the eight cooks to recuse themselves first, and then let the others vote, each of them could cast four votes, and each vote had to be cast for a different cook. As a result, there were two people in the fourth place with the same number of votes, and the four votes in Su Yan's hand had not yet been cast, which meant that her four votes were the key to deciding to stay.
Before voting, Su Yan called out all eight cooks, and Su Yan voted for the cook who made the spiced cake and Wang Yifan. Wang Yifan's vote is the second-to-last, Su Yan's vote for him can't change anything, the meat he made tastes bad, but the meat pancakes taste very good. As for the five-spice cake, the taste is excellent, even Liu Quanfu, who is good at pastries, is slightly inferior, and Liu Quanfu also voted for him.
The next two votes became the focus of everyone's attention, Su Yan looked at the cook who made pork kidney porridge and pork belly porridge and asked, "Why did you come up with the idea of making pork kidney porridge and pork belly porridge?" This is more than cooking, you make two porridge to pass away? Moreover, how can these things be served on the table when pigs are in the water? ”
This chef's votes are at the bottom of the list, and he is already among the eliminations, seeing that Su Yan's words are mocking, Zhengse replied truthfully: "I don't dare to agree with the words of the second shopkeeper." Although the taste of pig water is not as good as that of meat, it can be used as medicine. It is recorded in the medical book that pig kidney and kidney qi are good for the bladder, quench thirst, treat labor and sweat, and make good profits, and pig kidney porridge is a good medicinal diet, why can't it be served? ”
