Yuehai's kitchen is indeed difficult to calm down, and the most uncalm are naturally the two important parties, Jiang Menglin and Liu Yiwei.

After asking about the specific rules of the competition, Jiang Menglin began to think deeply.

There is no doubt that he will have to fight for the position of executive chef.

Let's not talk about reputation and treatment, the fact that the competitor is Liu Yiwei alone makes him unable to back down.

Speaking of which, there is actually no deep hatred between him and Liu Yiwei, but he really hates this person.

As early as when he was an apprentice with Old Man Zhao, he found that this junior disciple who came a year later than him was very good at coming to things, and he could fight hotly with everyone up and down, including him.

But slowly he found out that this guy was a bit two-faced and a little unscrupulous, and in a competition for a key position, he was also ruthlessly scolded by Liu Yiwei.

Since then, he has turned against Liu Yiwei.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to let such a villain ride on his head again!

Of course, the treatment and fame are also temptations that he can't refuse.

If he can get the position of executive chef of Guangdong Hotel, it is in itself an affirmation of his culinary skills.

Also, if he can become an executive chef, his annual salary can at least increase by three or four hundred thousand on the basis of his current one.

He couldn't resist such temptations.

But the question is, how can you ensure victory in the big competition?

Who will join the five-person team?

Jiang Menglin had a little headache.

To be honest, if he and Liu Yiwei compete one-on-one, then he will not be frightened at all, and he is confident that he will never lose to Liu Yiwei in cooking.

But if the team competes together, and the dishes are more innovative, there are too many uncertainties.

Cooking innovation is not something that every chef is good at, even if they are already very skilled.

Liu Yiwei is also having a headache with this problem.

But what he is thinking about now is not a question of choosing people, but a question of how to ensure that he wins.

For him, the temptation of the position of Executive Chef of Guangdong is too great, and the benefits that can be brought to him are too much.

For example, if he can become the executive chef of Yuehai, then his status in the Guangdong Culinary Association will definitely be further improved, and in another two years, he may be able to challenge the position of president.

Don't underestimate that the Guangdong Provincial Cuisine Association is just a non-governmental organization, but if you can hold an important position in it, the benefits it can bring are too many.

For example, attending various events, serving as a judge in a cooking competition, etc., all have a lot of appearance fees, not to mention other hidden income, which can definitely gain fame and fortune.

It can be said that whether he can hold an important position in the Culinary Association depends on whether he can become the executive chef of Guangdong.

The benefits of an executive chef are much more than that.

Don't look at him now, he is now the head chef of Teochew cuisine at the Guangdong Chinese restaurant, and he is only one level away from the executive chef, but his power and treatment are very different.

For example, his current annual salary is only 400,000 yuan, while Lao Zhao's annual salary is millions, and if he can become an executive chef, even if the annual salary is not millions, 800,000 yuan is available, which is equivalent to doubling the current annual salary.

This is still secondary.

Relatively speaking, Liu Yiwei attaches more importance to the purchasing right of the entire kitchen.

According to Yuehai's regulations, all kitchen supplies, including ingredients and utensils, are in charge of the executive chef, and even Zhong Haiming only has the right to supervise.

How much does the whole Guangdong Kitchen cost in a year?

At least tens of millions!

Liu Yiwei believes that as long as this procurement power is in his hands, he will have a lot of extra income if he operates it casually.

Therefore, for this position, Liu Yiwei cannot afford to lose.

He'd been thinking about this position for a long time.

It's a pity that this position has been occupied by Lao Zhao, so he can't see the slightest hope.

He didn't dare to challenge Zhao Lao's authority.

You must know that Lao Zhao is not only his master, but also a highly respected figure in the entire industry.

Now the opportunity has finally arrived.

As soon as Zhao Lao took the initiative to retreat, only he was left to fight for Jiang Menglin in this position.

So how can you secure this position?

Just honestly compare cooking skills with Jiang Menglin?

To be honest, compared with Jiang Menglin's cooking skills, he is confident that he may not necessarily lose to him, but he is not sure of winning.

In terms of culinary skills, Jiang Menglin, as the pillar of the Emgrand Hotel, is indeed very skillful.

It's not safe!

You must know that if he misses this opportunity and lets Jiang Menglin get that position, then in the next three or five years, he will not want to have such an opportunity again.

Something has to be done!

After thinking about it, he called his eldest apprentice, Lin Miaorong, into his office.

Lin Miaorong is not only his eldest apprentice, but also the sous chef of the Chaozhou cuisine department, and a confidant who has followed Liu Yiwei for many years.

"Miao Rong, you already know about the big competition, you want to find a way to help me pay attention to the movements on Lao Jiang's side. ”

Liu Yiwei feels that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the least preparation that should be made.

......

When Jiang Menglin returned to the kitchen, he hadn't thought of the most ideal way to form a team, which gave him a slight headache.

He hit the idea on Ivan, who was busy.

In his opinion, young people have flexible minds and should have a lot of ideas in this regard.

"Ivan, if you were asked to form this competition team, how would you do it?"

Ivan: "......"

Why did Lao Jiang ask me this question?

He's been annoyed by this problem by N people.

But when Lao Jiang asked, he couldn't help but say it.

"This is simple, isn't it three old and seven new? first set three sure specialties, and then the remaining seven innovative dishes, let's have a small competition in the whole kitchen, and whoever does a good job in the innovative dishes will be served." ”

Jiang Menglin's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this.

Yes, there is still half a month to go from now to the big competition, so why can't we have a small competition internally?

This is also fair and just for insiders!

Not only that, but this kind of competition can also be that all the chefs here in Cantonese cuisine are moving and starting to seriously consider dish innovation. In this way, you may be able to harvest a lot of new dishes in addition to the participating dishes.

He immediately accepted Ivan's offer.

He didn't expect that his casual question would really be rewarding.

It seems that young people's brains are really good!

But he wasn't going to take it all in.

Ivan's idea was good, but it was also risky.

He underestimated Liu Yiwei's insidious cunning too much!

Jiang Menglin dared to guarantee that as long as he adopted the mode of open selection, within a day, Liu Yiwei would be able to know exactly who was selected and what kind of new dishes he was going to make.

He knows Liu Yiwei too well!

Therefore, even if it is a small competition, it is necessary to take precautions against confidentiality.

He roughly sorted out his thoughts, and soon had a feasible solution.

He immediately gathered the chefs of the entire Cantonese cuisine together.

"Within three days, whoever has an innovative dish can come to me directly, and once the new dish is approved by me, it is possible to become a member of the competition team and fight side by side with me. ”

The back kitchen of Cantonese cuisine immediately became a sensation, and those who had ideas immediately began to make small calculations.

Ivan, as for him, didn't take it seriously.

In his opinion, there are so many talented people in the back kitchen, it can't be his turn, so he doesn't think much about it at all.

His mind had already flown to the mission.
