The whole Yuehai kitchen was fried.

In the afternoon, when the chefs started to work and prepared for dinner, Zhong Haiming and Zhao Mingyi rushed to the kitchen and began to announce the specific plans for the competition one by one.

The kitchen system of Guangdong is divided into three parts: Chinese restaurant, Western restaurant and staff canteen.

In these three parts, the Chinese restaurant is divided into two characteristic systems: Cantonese cuisine and Chaozhou cuisine, each with an independent kitchen, and the staff canteen is regarded as the dispatch agency of the Chinese restaurant.

Therefore, in the back kitchen of Guangdong, the Chinese restaurant must be the main body, and the chefs and employees of the two specialties are as many as 300 people, basically Cantonese cuisine and Chaozhou cuisine account for half of each other.

Over the years, due to various reasons, a very distinctive internal competition has been formed in the Chinese restaurant in Guangdong.

As we all know, Cantonese cuisine is composed of three local flavors: Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine, and Dongjiang cuisine, and Zhao Mingyi is a master of new Cantonese cuisine, and he is quite proficient in all three flavors.

As his apprentice, whether it is Jiang Menglin, who is in charge of Cantonese cuisine, or Liu Yiwei, who is in charge of Chaozhou cuisine, they are actually good at all three dishes, but in order to meet the requirements of five-star hotels, they have to be divided into two.

This point is divided into problems.

The two senior brothers originally belonged to the kind of people who didn't accept anyone, and this point made them even more strife.

The two chefs are opposed, and the following will naturally follow suit.

Therefore, on weekdays, the two kitchens of Cantonese cuisine and Chaozhou cuisine are basically not in contact with each other, but fortunately, there is Lao Zhao pressing on it, which keeps the well water from the river.

Now it's okay, the secret battle has turned into an open dispute, and everyone naturally blew up.

It's just that for most low-level chefs, no matter who wins, no matter who ends up becoming the new executive chef, it doesn't have much impact on them.

Therefore, many people started to talk about it with the intention of watching the excitement.

"Now there is a good show to watch, Lao Jiang and Lao Liu are in the ring, and they can finally have a good time. ”

"And it's still a group fight, this is a bit interesting, but I don't know who Lao Jiang and Lao Liu choose as teammates. ”

"This teammate is not good, he doesn't have any real skills, and he may not be able to choose, this is more than innovation, not more than ready-made dishes!"

"Lao Zhu, you should have a chance to go up, if you do, and Lao Jiang wins again, it is definitely from the dragon's work, including your promotion and salary. ”

"I want to do it, then Lao Jiang has to see it!"

......

In the afternoon, as soon as Ivan returned to the hotel, he heard the cooks gathering in twos and threes to discuss the big competition, and several people stopped him and asked him all kinds of strange questions.

"Ivan, why did you go?"

When he passed Illim's position, the cows stopped him.

"I went to buy books, what's wrong?"

Ivan raised the bookbag in his hand.

He did buy books.

After listening to Lao Jiang's guidance in the morning, he finally realized that his reserves in culinary theory were seriously insufficient.

As Lao Jiang said, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal, and for a chef, it is unrealistic to expect the master to teach alone.

Therefore, when he got off work at noon, he specially asked Lao Jiang for a leave of absence, saying that he was going to buy books.

Of course, on the way to buy books, he also ran to the kitchen supplies market and bought some extra things.

The cow snatched his bag and opened it.

"Practical Manual for Restaurant Chefs", "Red Case Cooking Techniques", "Food and Cooking", "Modernist Cooking", "Introduction to Basic Knife Skills", ...... Have you read all these books? Wouldn't you have bought them for a façade?"

Ivan: "......"

That's too much?

Most of them have already been put into my storage space, okay, these books are just used to pretend to show Lao Jiang that I have been to the bookstore.

This time he went to the bookstore, Ivan was bleeding again, and he bought all the books he thought were useful, and then found an opportunity to throw them into the storage space.

In this way, he is equivalent to carrying a mobile culinary library.

"Cow, if you have time, you should read more cooking books, it will be good for you. ”

Ivan kindly persuaded.

But the cow didn't appreciate it: "I? Forget it! I'm not like you, I'm a college student, educated, and I get dizzy when I see a book." ”

Ivan sighed.

This is the sadness of the profession of chef.

Because this is a profession that is despised by cultural people, most chef practitioners only have high school or even junior high Chinese, and these people learn from a master or enter a culinary school, and regard this as a tool for making a living, rather than an art worth studying.

Especially low-level chefs like dairy cows, there are very few who are highly educated, and even fewer are willing to delve into it.

Forget it, Ivan didn't bother to persuade, this kind of thing barely came.

"Then stop talking nonsense, don't delay me from getting started. ”

"Don't, let me ask you something, have you heard about the competition?"

As Ivan expected, this guy stopped him just to inquire about the competition.

This guy is more gossip than a woman.

"I heard that, what's wrong?"

Ivan did already know the general situation of the big game.

"Then tell me, who will Lao Jiang choose to go with? Now that Lao Jiang values you so much, do you have a chance?"

Ivan dodged and left, not bothering to deal with this guy at all.

Who will Lao Jiang choose?

How did he know this?

As for whether Lao Jiang will choose him?

Joke!

Now that he is just a lotus chef who has never officially been on the stove, will Lao Jiang take such an important competition as a child's play?

Ivan felt that since his identity was so sensitive when he stayed by Lao Jiang's side, it was better not to participate in these topics, if he said something that should not be said, after Lao Jiang knew, he would be unlucky.

But the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

In the following time, because Lao Jiang was not there for the time being, many people began to find excuses to come to him to inquire about the news.

"Ivan, reveal a little, who does Lao Jiang plan to choose to compete with him?"

"Ivan, do you think Lao Jiang can win?"

"Ivan, we're good brothers, remember to reveal any inside information!"

......

Ivan's ears were calloused.

Alas, the undercurrent is turbulent!

After all, he had been in Yuehai for more than two years, and he knew why these people were so concerned about the competition.

To put it bluntly, they are all transferred to the position after the competition!

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

This rule is common throughout the ages.

It is also common in the back kitchen of Yuehai.

The back kitchen of Guangdong is no better than the kitchen of an ordinary restaurant.

Because of the good environment, high salary, and the ability to learn things, most of the chefs want to enter a high-end hotel like Guangdong even if they sharpen their heads.

And the Yuehai kitchen is a place with a strict hierarchy.

Executive Chef, Head Chef, Master Chef, Second Chef, General Chef, Apprentice Chef...... This is the administrative level.

Wok Chef, Soup Pot Chef, Chopping Board Chef, Shangshi Chef, Lotus Chef, Roast Cook, Dim Sum Chef...... This is the division of duties.

The combination of administrative hierarchy and the division of duties creates a rigid hierarchy.

Different ranks, treatment and prestige are very different.

Moreover, promotion means better development opportunities.

Therefore, once there is a new position gap in the back kitchen, there will immediately be a bunch of people grabbing their heads for this position, and all kinds of small actions may be used.

It is said that the workplace competition in modern society is fierce and cruel, but in Ivan's opinion, when it comes to the fierceness and cruelty of the competition, Yuehai Kitchen is no worse than other workplaces.

Alas, the entire Yuehai kitchen can't be calm!
