Chapter 129: The First Day of Work

Fang Yu returned to the noodle restaurant, and Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Xiaoxiao had prepared the labor contract for the two before, and both of them had already read it and were very satisfied.

Generally, it is not difficult for chefs who have just obtained a junior certificate to find a job, but the basic income is not high, and the work is very hard, so it is difficult to balance studying.

Fang Yu's salary is already much higher than that of similar positions, and it can be settled on a daily basis, which does not affect their learning.

Of course, the key is to get Fang Yu's guidance at work and learn his skills, which is what attracts the two of them the most.

As soon as Fang Yu came back, the two took the initiative to take the labor contract, and after signing it, the two of them were employees of the noodle restaurant.

Today is the first time for the two of them to participate in the business, because Qian Duoduo is more clever, Fang Yu first arranged for him and Lin Xiaoxiao to learn reception services at the front desk, and Qi Yi helped Fang Yu in the back kitchen.

In the future, there are no special circumstances, and the work of two people will be changed every three days.

Fang Yu's purpose was to gradually cultivate both of them and turn back to take over from him, so that he would have enough time to learn more advanced techniques and cooking skills.

Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi had heard Fang Yu talk about their noodle restaurant many times before, and for various reasons, today was actually the first day of coming.

Although they felt that the decoration and furnishings of this noodle restaurant were relatively fresh and comfortable, they were not as big as they imagined, and they were somewhat disappointed.

Lin Xiaoxiao taught Qian Duoduo the basic process of receiving guests at the front desk.

Qian Duoduo was quite surprised that the service provided by the noodle restaurant was so detailed, and thought to himself that it was really not easy for Fang Yu to run this noodle restaurant, and he arranged so many tricks in order to win customers.

And Qi Yi was really shocked to find that Fang Yu had prepared so many high-quality ingredients in the back kitchen, and the average small restaurant couldn't use up so many good things for a long time.

Junior chefs have to learn cost accounting, Qi Yi learned this course quite well, and after a rough estimate, he began to worry about Fang Yu.

He approached Fang Yu, who was screening wild yellow eels, and asked with some concern:

"Brother Fang, why have you prepared so many high-quality ingredients, these ingredients have been stored for a long time, and the quality will deteriorate very much."

"Storage?" Fang Yu smiled dumbly, "No, the general fresh ingredients in our store never stay overnight." ”

Fresh ingredients don't stay overnight? Qi Yi was a little disbelieving.

In the past, when he didn't get a chef's license, he and Qian Duoduo worked part-time in a small restaurant.

He is still relatively clear about some shady scenes in the restaurant, and shoddy ones are all industry rules.

What's even more terrifying is that in order to reduce costs, many restaurants buy a large number of ingredients at one time and hoard them in cold storage for slow use.

At first, the quality of the ingredients may be acceptable, but over time, many ingredients will have varying degrees of spoilage and deterioration.

Of course, it is impossible for the restaurant to throw away these things, as long as they can't eat the dead, they dare to make it and sell it.

There are some stinky meats, as long as you rinse them in the water and blanch them in the pot, you won't smell them.

If you go back and fry it in oil or sauce, and add more condiments to cover its original flavor, basically not many people will find it.

As for whether they will go home and have diarrhea after eating, this restaurant doesn't care. Anyway, no one dares to conclude that it must be the restaurant's problem.

Qi Yi had always thought that Fang Yu was an honest and reliable big brother, but seeing that Fang Yu actually bought so many ingredients at one time like those black-hearted restaurants, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Fang Yu saw that Qi Yi still had this doubt on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Although Qi Yi is a little upright, he is not a fool, the boss has said so, and it is not good for him to raise objections again.

It's just that he secretly thought in his heart that if Fang Yu was really that kind of person, he and Qian Duoduo would have to consider whether to work here for a long time.

Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi had different misunderstandings about Fang Yu's noodle restaurant in the front desk and back kitchen.

But when it came to business hours, the misunderstanding between the two disappeared completely.

Five minutes before it opened, the door of the noodle restaurant was still crowded.

As soon as the business hours arrived, God knew that so many people popped up there, holding their mobile phones one by one, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao with expectant eyes and waiting for her to call her number.

In just five minutes, the noodle restaurant was already full. There are also some guests at the door who are relatively high in the queue for fear of missing the number, so they still sit at the door and wait.

Qian Duoduo followed Lin Xiaoxiao to deliver hot towels and jasmine tea to the guests who came in one by one, and heard some guests happily talking about noodles, paintings, compositions, color matching, etc., which made him a little inexplicable.

What is the relationship between a noodle shop and painting? Qian Duoduo was in the fog of his head.

Unlike Qian Duoduo, who still had time to think about things at the front desk, Qi Yi was already busy in the back kitchen.

As diners enter the restaurant, tablets hanging on the wall keep popping up seat numbers and menus.

Qi Yi had to prepare the raw materials for the several dishes to be made to Fang Yu according to the order of order, and Fang Yu was only responsible for the final production.

Fortunately, Fang Yu had already taken him to prepare some things that could be prepared in advance, otherwise he would have been completely blind at this time.

But even so, he accidentally made a lot of mistakes.

In particular, Fang Yu's flowing cooking skills made him can't help but want to take a closer look as soon as he saw it, so he wandered more than once and took the wrong ingredients.

However, Fang Yu had long been accustomed to this high-speed rhythm, and now that someone had helped, he felt even more at ease. Not only did he quietly replace the wrong ingredients, but he also had time to explain the dishes he made one by one.

Qi Yi saw that Fang Yu didn't blame himself, and took the initiative to explain the key points of cooking to himself, and felt a little ashamed.

However, his character has always been unyielding, and he immediately gritted his teeth and concentrated, trying to reduce his mistakes, while forcing himself not to think about what Fang Yu said, just to memorize.

After doing this for a while, he slowly adapted to this rhythm, and the error rate also decreased a little.

Qi Yi's performance Fang Yu saw it in his eyes, and he was still a little surprised that he was able to adapt to Fang Yu so quickly.

After all, Fang Yu was able to maintain zero mistakes in such a busy work because of the escort of the ancient "Five Fowl Opera".

The fully enhanced five senses and strong blood supply function allow Fang Yu's brain to maintain sufficient calmness and processing ability in the most complicated and busy state.

Although Qi Yi can't make mistakes, if he can reduce a little mistake in such a short period of time, he is already very outstanding among ordinary people.

With such qualifications, only when he turns back can he learn Fang Yu's cooking skills well and take charge of him for him.

The corners of Fang Yu's mouth curled slightly, and secretly praised himself, originally he just thought that his character was good, so he decided to recruit him, but he didn't expect to inadvertently pick up a treasure.

Unlike Qi Yi, who worked hard to keep up with the rhythm in the back kitchen, Qian Duoduo at the front desk was very comfortable.

With Lin Xiaoxiao's guidance, Qian Duoduo, who has always been agile and flexible, quickly adapted to the service work of the noodle restaurant.

His round face, round eyes, round nose, and natural familiarity will involuntarily make customers feel a kind of affinity.

In particular, some female guests have a good impression of this little fat man with facial features that resemble a koala.

While serving the food, he chatted with the guests from time to time, telling some small jokes that fit the occasion, many old customers were still a little unfamiliar with this newcomer, but soon liked this happy little fat man.

Qian Duoduo was also surprised that Fang Yu's dishes were so popular with the guests, and the guests came in waves, basically full of expectations.

As soon as the food was served, it was all kinds of pictures, and then it was eaten like a storm, and almost no one would have anything left.

Nowadays, because there are too many customers, in order to prevent some guests from misestimating their food and wasting delicious food, dishes with limited raw materials such as chicken bean curd and jelly yellow eel pot can only be ordered by one person.

So when the guests left, they were all unsatisfied.

Qian Duoduo also found that from the beginning of the noodle restaurant to the end of business, there were almost no empty seats in the lobby.

When Lin Xiaoxiao announced that today's business was over, there were still many customers waiting at the door.

Qian Duoduo had never seen a restaurant or restaurant so popular, no wonder Fang Yu hadn't explained to them before, and no one would believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

He didn't know that Qi Yi was sitting in the back kitchen, and the same thought came to his mind.

Just now he was questioning that Fang Yu bought so many ingredients to save costs, but now he realized that the original preparation of those ingredients was completely insufficient, and most of the ingredients had been sold out before the stipulated business hours.

Of course, this is also Fang Yu's cooking at any cost, only the best ingredients are selected for each dish, and even the tableware cannot tolerate a little flaw.

For example, the clay pot used in the jelly yellow eel pot is only used once, and it is discarded directly after use, and never reused.

Qi Yi also asked Fang Yu if it would be too wasteful to do this.

Fang Yu patiently explained to him:

"The clay pot heats up quickly and has a long heat storage time, which is perfect for making a gel pot and can effectively extend the best tasting time of the dish.

But if you want to make a good gel pot and make the ingredients fragrant and flavorful, you must attack it with fire.

If you want to boil the clay pot on the fire and pour the sauce on it to assist the cooking, the resulting dish will not be delicious?

However, in this way, the damage of the clay pot is inevitable, and the surface may not be visible, but small cracks will inevitably appear.

If you use it repeatedly, the sauce and juice will be forced out of the small cracks that seeped into the gel clay the last time you made it, causing the smell to develop in the newly prepared dish.

Therefore, if you want to make a good gel pot, you must be willing to abandon the pot, one dish at a time, and never reuse it. ”

Fang Yu's statement opened Qi Yi's eyes, he knew that excellent chefs were very particular about the preparation of dishes, but he didn't expect it to be so exquisite.

He asked with some hesitation: "Brother Fang, will it cost too much to do this?" ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:

"You used to tell Qian Duoduo about whether the price of my noodle shop would be too high, and now you know why the price is so high.

You also know my character, if you don't do it, you have to do it to do your best.

So I use the highest quality ingredients available in the market, but more importantly, I put the most thought and effort into each dish.

Not to mention the ingredients, it takes more than ten hours to boil and refine a soup stock, which is simply not possible in ordinary restaurants.

Fortunately, everyone's life is good now, and many people don't mind spending a little more to get better services.

Otherwise, my little shop may not be able to survive. ”

Qi Yi looked at Fang Yu and thought to himself that he had really chosen the right choice to do things in Brother Fang's shop.

He hates those merchants who make black money the most, and it is his ideal to stand up and make money by virtue of his craftsmanship like Fang Yu.
