Chapter 181: Corruption
Yun Genggeng was obviously quite puzzled by this, Fan Tong has always been a good talker, he is a person with no temper, and sometimes it is inevitable that he will be deceived and unknown. He took two sips from his teacup, nodded, and motioned for him to continue.
"Chef Jiang said that the old kitchen knife was no longer sharp, and it was too late to cut vegetables, and he had to make a new one, and told me not to write this matter down in the account book." Fan Tong scratched his head and said, "Sister Geng Geng, I originally planned to tell you, but I was afraid that you would blame such a large expenditure when you came back, so I changed the record, this matter is my misconduct, you punish me."
Yun Genggen shook his head and frowned: "I'll talk about these later, you tell me, you can see Chef Jiang's new knife, what does it look like?"
"I didn't see any special knives," Fan Tong said after thinking about it carefully, "If it is something particularly good, with his character, he will definitely show it to us."
Yun Genggen lowered his eyes, and while collecting the bill, he said: "If he really bought a kitchen knife of fifteen taels, he would buy it, and I wouldn't be so stingy."
"It's just that I just asked someone to send seven sets before the accident, and Chef Jiang shouldn't have consumed so many knives in such a short period of time."
Fan Tong looked dazed, obviously he hadn't heard Chef Jiang mention this matter, and he also realized that something was faintly wrong, so he got up and said, "Sister Geng Geng, I'll ask for you, if this guy dares to cheat Fumanlou's silver taels, I will let him go around without eating."
"No need," Yun Genggen grabbed Fan Tong, he was too anxious and lacked the ability to examine the situation, so he was afraid that he would have a bad deal with Chef Jiang, so he patted him and said, "You first check here where there are any errors and omissions, and I will deal with this matter."
Yun Genggen took the page of the bill and went into the back kitchen, only to see that Chef Jiang was half-leaning on the chair next to him to rest because he had been busy all morning, and he looked like he should be asleep.
Fumanlou is a restaurant, and the number of diners is very large, so the chefs of Fumanlou come much earlier than the cooks of other restaurants, and they often have to work until late at night before leaving. Since Chef Jiang came to Fumanlou, he has rarely been late and left early, and his skills are also very good, and almost everyone praises him.
Fumanlou's achievements today are absolutely indispensable to the ability of Chef Jiang.
Yun Genggeng's hand paused and knocked on the board: "Chef Jiang, wake up."
When Chef Jiang was sleeping soundly, he was startled by Yun Geng's movement, and was about to scold, when he saw that the person standing in front of him was his shopkeeper. Hurriedly got up and gave the chair to Yun Genggeng, Yun Genggeng didn't shirk it, and naturally sat down.
"Why did the shopkeeper come in person, but what do you have to order?" Chef Jiang has also worked in other places, and he is very good at reading people's faces, so he hurriedly brought Yun Genggen a cup of tea and respectfully brought it over, and almost pinched Yun Genggeng's shoulders and legs.
"It's okay, I'm walking around, it's already autumn, and I want to see if you've developed any new dishes recently." Yun Geng glanced at him and said sloppily.
Chef Jiang clapped his hands, laughed, went to the stove and brought a crockpot over, and said in a very courteous tone: "It's really time for the shopkeeper to come, this is my new dish, I originally thought of sending it to you later, try it quickly."
As soon as the lid is opened, a mixture of sweet and salty aromas hits the face, and a roast chicken is wrapped in a thick sauce, which is firm and juicy, and it can be said that it is full of color and flavor.
Yun Geng looked at the jar, sometimes eating too much salty things will inevitably make people feel tired, this faint sweetness can just neutralize this taste, but it does not seem superfluous. Yun Genggen took a pair of chopsticks and came over, a little curious about what it would taste like.
Chef Jiang noticed Yun Geng's gaze, and quickly took a chicken leg and handed it to her, which was enough to be called a stomach bud enjoyment.
"Shopkeeper, how's it going?"
"That's right," Yun Geng nodded again and again, a little hesitant in his heart to continue to investigate the matter of the fifteen taels of silver. Although Chef Jiang was not hired by her with a lot of money, he was indeed carefully selected by herself, and his value was far greater than fifteen taels of silver. If she tears her face and makes trouble because of this incident, it will also be the loss of her Yun Geng Geng and Fu Manlou.
"The taste is a little salty, put less salt next time." Yun Genggen went to the side to wash his hands and said.
"Yes, yes." Chef Jiang nodded again and again, as if he was wondering why Yun Genggeng had stayed in the back kitchen for so long in this kitchen, which had not been set foot in for several months, and couldn't help but have some meaning in his words: "Shopkeeper, why don't you go back and get busy first?" The smell of oil smoke in the back kitchen is heavy, and you are only afraid that you will be uncomfortable after being here for a long time. ”
Yun Genggen naturally understood what Chef Jiang meant, and he also made up his mind at this time and shook his head noncommittally.
I don't know how others run their own businesses, but Yun Genggen has always been a person with a bottom line. If you are in business, you must first focus on profit, if you are in politics, you must first focus on the bureau, Yun Geng Geng knows very well that he can run Fumanlou to this point not by relying on anything else, but by relying on the rules he set at the earliest.
The rules are the foundation of Yun Genggeng's management of Fumanlou, and they cannot be violated no matter what.
And the ledger, its value is more than a few pieces of rice paper, a few strokes of ink. It is the bottom line and lifeblood of a businessman, and there must not be a single mistake.
"It's okay, I'm used to being idle, and I'm a little curious about what the kitchen looks like, so it's okay to stay a little longer." Yun Genggeng stood up with a smile and walked around the stove twice, and sure enough, he saw a kitchen knife on the board, which looked like it should have been newly bought.
Chef Jiang opened his mouth, Yun Genggeng said this, and he couldn't push back again, so he had to sigh and let Yun Genggen watch.
Sure enough, Yun Genggen picked up the knife and took a look, only to see that the handle of the knife was not engraved with the word Fu Manlou, which showed that it was not the batch she ordered back earlier.
When I touched the blade again, it was rough and unscrupulous, and the workmanship was not meticulous, at most it was just a kitchen knife of a few taels of silver on the market. Yun Geng frowned, and asked casually: "I looked at this knife, I bought it newly?"
"Yes," Chef Jiang stepped forward, smiling a little weakly, and wanted to reach out and take the kitchen knife back, but was easily avoided by Yun Genggeng, so he had to give up.
"This is the fifteen-tael kitchen knife? Where did you get the money?" Yun Geng said with a smile.
"This ...... It's expensive, it's a little more expensive. Chef Jiang's eyes dodged, his face turned a little pale, and he reluctantly said, "I paid the money from the account room."
Yun Genggen raised his head to look at him, he couldn't tell what emotion was in his eyes, but it made Chef Jiang feel a little cool in this stuffy back kitchen.
