Chapter 356: Interview with the cook of the morning tea shop
"Hello." Gu Xiaoyou greeted a few people generously.
"Hello." A few people answered.
"It's not convenient to talk here, so let's go to other courtyards with me." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile, pushed open the courtyard door, and made a gesture of please: "Please here." ”
"Okay." Of course, several people had no opinion, and walked out of the backyard one after another.
"You go and call the other cooks too, and come to the backyard of the spicy restaurant." Gu Xiaoyou said a word to the foreman, and then took a few people to the backyard of the spicy restaurant.
Gu Xiaoyou moved chairs, asked a few to sit down, and said, "Did Li Ping tell you about the situation in the shop?" ”
"I said it." A few people nodded.
"Since I understand, I won't bother to say anything, so let's introduce yourself first."
A few people glanced at each other, and the eldest one began to make an introduction: "The younger one is named Romy, and he has been a cook for five years. ”
"When the slave family name is called, you call the slave family Shi Niang, the slave family and Ping'er are fellow villagers, and they are the best at making pastries."
"The small surname is Yu, a single name and a righteous word, and he is best at making pasta."
Several people introduced them one by one, and Gu Xiaoyou listened while writing down everyone's names and characteristics in a small notebook.
After they finished introducing themselves, in addition to the cook from the food truck, several other cooks also arrived in the breakfast shop.
Gu Xiaoyou arranged for them to sit down in the pavilion and said to them: "I plan to open a shop next door to the breakfast shop, this idea should have been told to you by Li Ping yesterday, today is to test the chefs in the shop, considering the commonality of the two shops, so I invite you to come over as judges." ”
"Yes, boss." The cooks listened attentively and nodded.
Li Ping raised his hand: "The slave family will not participate, they are all introduced by the slave family, and the slave family should avoid suspicion." ”
"Okay, then ask a few of you to come to the kitchen and make one of your specialties." Gu Xiaoyou took out a small hourglass from his sleeve: "It's limited to half an hour, please." ”
After speaking, Gu Xiaoyou turned the hourglass over, which meant that the timer began.
Seeing this, several cooks who came for the interview hurriedly got up and ran to the kitchen to get busy.
Seeing this, the cooks at the breakfast shop instantly remembered the scene when they came to the interview, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"What are you laughing at, go and see." Gu Xiaoyou didn't understand their psychology, and beckoned them to the kitchen door to watch.
The cooks immediately followed, and followed Gu Xiaoyou at the door and forgot to look inside.
"You can watch it carefully, you will be your colleagues in the future, and if you have any ideas, please put forward them in time."
"Yes." The cooks answered, looking more seriously into the kitchen.
The cooks introduced by Li Ping were a little flustered at first, but after they figured out the items in the kitchen, they slowly calmed down and began to prepare the food they were going to make.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at the door for a while, then he was a little sleepy, and yawned: "You look at it first, and call me when it's ready." ”
"Okay, you can rest." Several cooks stared at the kitchen and said without looking back.
It's the first time they've interviewed, and they're in high spirits.
"It's really positive." Gu Xiaoyou sighed with emotion, then pulled up the hood on his cloak and put it on, and went to the pavilion to sit down.
Only Li Ping was still in the pavilion, so he chatted with Gu Xiao in the pavilion.
Gu Xiaoyou still talked to Li Ping at the beginning, but listening to Li Ping's soft-spoken voice, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he unconsciously fell asleep in the pavilion with his chin propped up.
Because of wearing a hood, Li Ping couldn't see Gu Xiaoyou's face clearly, and thought that Gu Xiaoyou had been listening to her.
Li Ping racked her brains, her mouth was dry, and she didn't get a response for a long time, so she carefully leaned over to take a look, only to find that Gu Xiaoyou had already fallen asleep.
After taking a sip of tea with a smile, Li Ping found a few braziers and lit them, lowered the curtain of the gazebo, and blocked the wind for her.
After arranging together, Li Ping patiently drank tea in the pavilion and waited.
Half an hour later, the cooks had prepared their own specialty dishes and walked in the direction of the gazebo with the finished products.
Before they came over, Li Ping gently shook Gu Xiaoyou's arm and called in a low voice, "Boss, wake up, their dishes are ready." ”
"What dish?" Gu Xiaoyou was sleeping soundly, and when she heard Li Ping's words in a haze, she opened her eyes in a daze.
"What you asked them to cook." Li Ping replied in a low voice.
"Oh, yes." Gu Xiaoyou saw the scene in front of her clearly, and suddenly came back to her senses, she was still interviewing.
"Take a sip of tea and wake up." Li Ping hurriedly handed over a cup of strong tea to Gu Xiaoyou.
"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou took the tea cup and poured it into his stomach with a clatter, the strong tea was really sobering, the taste was really bitter.
Gu Xiaoyou had never drunk such bitter tea, and his originally confused head sobered up instantly.
"Oh, it's more bitter than black coffee." Gu Xiaoyou stuck out his tongue and muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Li Ping didn't hear clearly, thinking that Gu Xiaoyou was talking to her.
"It's nothing, they're coming." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand, took a sip of water, and rinsed his mouth.
"Well, here it is." Li Ping looked over, and the cooks came over with dishes.
As several people approached, the aroma of the dish became more and more obvious.
The cook of the breakfast shop returned to the gazebo first, each holding a bowl and chopsticks, and sat in the gazebo decently.
The head chef also thoughtfully brought dishes and chopsticks to Gu Xiaoyou, and even prepared mouthwash for tasting the dishes.
"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou thanked him and sat up straight.
The other cooks all sat upright with her, posing as food judges.
When a few cooks came over with dishes, they saw seven sitting upright people except Li Ping, each with dishes and chopsticks and a glass of water in front of them, and the expressions on their faces were very serious.
Where have they ever seen such a battle, they are all stunned in place with their dishes.
Li Ping covered her mouth and chuckled: "You all bring the dishes, and whoever you eat will introduce the reason for cooking." ”
"Yes." The cooks answered, and put the dishes on the table one by one in the order in which they had just introduced themselves.
The seven food judges, while tasting the dishes, listened to their introductions, and looked like they were in a bad mood.
After tasting all the dishes of several people, Gu Xiaoyou discussed with a few cooks, and finally left five people behind and signed a contract.
Gu Xiaoyou said to the unsuccessful cook: "It's a pity that we can't work together, it's not that your dishes are not good, it's just that it's not suitable for our store, thank you for coming, this is for your carriage and horses, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again." ”
As he spoke, Gu Xiaoyou gave everyone a small piece of broken silver.
