The next day, Jiang Yu got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen on the first floor with Lu Shuwu to prepare breakfast.

Dining Room No. 7 only provides lunch and dinner, so in the morning, Jiang Yu is still relatively leisurely, and only Yan Tongtong is busy.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Yu also personally met the side dish worker that Lu Shuwu helped find, as well as the apprentice introduced by Ma Guoqiang.

The side dish worker is named Pei Guofu, in his forties, a middle-aged man who looks quite ordinary, with a round head and short hair, and a smile on his round face, looking honest and honest.

The main job of the garnier is to be responsible for the distribution, cutting and processing of raw materials such as vegetables, side dishes, and ingredients, as well as some other auxiliary work.

A good side dish worker can not only save the chef's workload, but also improve the quality of the dish in terms of nutrition, color and taste.

Jiang Yu didn't say much, chatted casually with Pei Guofu for a while, then took him to the side dish room, and said with a smile:

"Master Pei, if you don't mind, can you help with one or two dishes?

It's not that I don't believe in your level of side dishes, but I mainly want to see if your side dishes match our chef's usual stir-fry habits. ”

When the garnish worker and chef work well together, that's a big help, and vice versa.

No matter which chef you are, you want the chef who serves your dishes to be similar to your own taste, so you can work with them in a much more efficient way.

Pei Guofu is not the first day to work in the kitchen, of course he understands this truth.

To be honest, when he meets a suitable chef, he will have a much easier job, and there is no reason why he would not want to.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said:

"Master Pei, you can have mapo tofu and ginger spicy pork ribs, one meat and one vegetable, just right."

"Okay, Boss Jiang wait a moment."

Pei Guofu turned his head and glanced at a few fresh-keeping cabinets in the side dish room, and then began to act.

He looks honest and honest, but he does things in a hurry, clean and neat, and he doesn't drag mud and water at all.

He said, "Wait a minute", Jiang Yu thought it was a false word, but he didn't expect it to be a real thing, it was really just a moment's work, and the two dishes had already been cut and matched, and they were placed on the plate cleanly.

Jiang Yu leaned in and took a closer look, the main dish and side dishes were reasonably portioned, and the colors were properly matched, and the side dishes could be directly fried by the chef, and there was no need to add or subtract another point at all.

Judging from the speed and proficiency of Pei Guofu's side dishes, Jiang Yu can see that he has indeed been doing this for many years and has reached a very high level of side dishes.

"It's good, the side dishes are fast, and the key is that the portions and colors are well matched."

Jiang Yu nodded, and said with a smile on his face,

"Master Pei really has a hand, so in this case, you take a rest first, and you can go upstairs with me to help at noon.

As for the treatment, let's talk about it later. ”

The two apprentices brought by Ma Guoqiang are very young, both about twenty years old, one is slightly fat, white and fleshy and looks very festive, called Deng Zehang, and the other is thin and a little chattering, called Ma Wendong.

These two people are probably a little close to Ma Guoqiang, and as soon as they came, they were brought to Jiang Yu and briefly introduced to the side, and then said with a smile:

"Boss Xiaojiang, these two boys have worked in the kitchen of a restaurant in the city before, and they haven't learned other skills, but it's okay to do some chores such as washing vegetables and cutting vegetables.

They have also heard of the reputation of our seven canteens, and they admire you even more, as soon as they heard that they could come here to do things, they didn't sleep well all night last night, and they came to wake me up before dawn.

Don't worry, they will definitely work hard, if they are disobedient, you can beat and scold as you like! ”

Jiang Yu heard what he said, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter, what he said was as if his temper was so hot, we are not a cannon fight, just a little bit.

In the kitchen, the apprentice mainly does some basic tasks such as cutting side dishes, washing vegetables, cleaning the kitchen, and serving vegetables.

The requirements are not too high, because they do not have professional cooking skills, and apprentices are not here to learn cooking.

But in practice, it is generally difficult for apprentices to learn real skills because the chef is not obligated to teach you, and the kitchen work is already busy and tiring, and they do not have the time and energy to mentor the apprentices.

To put it mildly, even if I teach you, what will I gain?

Therefore, Jiang Yu can also understand the meaning of Ma Guoqiang's words, that is, he hopes that he can teach them something occasionally in addition to cooking, so as not to be apprenticed for a few years and still know nothing when he goes out.

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, don't worry, as long as they work hard, I will definitely not treat them badly." ”

"That's good, that's good!"

Ma Guoqiang nodded happily, and then turned around and reprimanded the two people,

"Why don't you hurry up and thank Boss Xiaojiang? Do a good job in the future, if you cheat and play tricks, if Boss Xiaojiang doesn't clean you up, I have to clean you up too! ”

"Thank you boss!"

"We will definitely work hard, thank you boss!"

The two of them shrank their heads and hurriedly thanked them.

After Ma Guoqiang took the two of them down, Jiang Yu originally wanted to meet the chef who was said to be a little arrogant, but after asking around, he realized that the chef had not come yet.

I don't know if it's a long way, or if I don't pay attention to it at all.

The person he wanted to see didn't see it, but Jiang Yu saw an unexpected person instead.

The Seven Canteens have been open for nearly half a month after the year, and even the No. 7 dining room on the second floor has officially opened to the public.

"Yo, Lao Jia, why is your son willing to let you come out?"

When Lu Shuwu saw Jia Dequan, he was stunned at first, then strode over, and said with a happy face,

"I thought you weren't coming, I was going to plan to wait for the May Day holiday, and I'm going to go to you to see how you're doing!"

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, I haven't been here for so long, and I haven't seen you call me."

Juddquan grimaced, snorted twice, and said,

"Fortunately, I am determined and persistent, and I have been thinking about the food in the Seven Canteens in my heart, otherwise, I may not be willing to come back!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Lu Shuwu,

"What are you doing stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and bring two soup dumplings, I rushed over hungry early in the morning, just for this mouthful! ”

When Lu Shuwu heard this, he quickly nodded: "You wait, I'll get it for you!" ”

He was the happiest when Jia Dequan came back, because this old man is a real sectarian, and he doesn't hide anything at all!

Where can I find such a high-level and selfless old chef now?

Even if his grandfather takes an apprentice, he will still keep a hand.

Because, everyone is worried that the apprentice will starve to death of the master!

When Lu Shuwu ran out to fill the soup dumplings, Jiang Yu said with a smile:

"Lao Jia, it's good to be at home during the New Year, I see that your complexion is a lot better!"

"I run out on the street every day, and I've been exercising for so long, can I look bad?"

"Oh? That's pretty laid-back. ”

"Idle fart! I'm looking for street food! ”

With an old face, Juddquan said angrily,

"I can't eat the food at home, so I have to go out on the street to see if there is a substitute.

I couldn't help it, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to come back. ”

"That's not right! Aren't you yourself a chef at the level of a state banquet, can't you just cook and eat by yourself? ”

Jiang Yu said with a strange expression, "Don't say that the dishes you make are not as delicious as mine, I don't believe this." ”

"It's delicious, but when you make your own food, you don't have that surprise."

Jia Dequan shook his head and said helplessly,

"It doesn't feel the same."

“……”

When Jiang Yu said this, Jiang Yu was speechless,

"It's still Lao Jia, your consciousness is high, I can't understand it."

"Hehe, don't talk about this."

Jia Dequan waved his hand, skipped the topic, and said with bright eyes,

"Xiao Jiang, I already know, this No. 7 dining room upstairs in the canteen is very popular now, you are doing a good job!

It is to beat your fame while you are young and let more people know about it!

How about I'm going to go up and help you?

Don't worry, I'll do things silently, and I won't steal your limelight, as long as I have something to eat every day. ”

Jiang Yu was stunned: "You go up to help me?" ”

This old Jia Ke is a master-level figure in Hubei cuisine, and Lu Shuwu's grandfather is at the same level.

If he can really help himself, then his No. 7 dining room is one of the best in Jiangzhou, not to mention how high the standard is in China.

When the time comes, it is really necessary to be famous and profitable!

To be honest, Jiang Yu was really moved by Lao Jia's proposal.

"That's right!"

Jia Dequan nodded and said with a serious face,

"Don't worry, I'm only in my sixties, and the big pot dishes in the cafeteria may be a little unbearable, but there is no problem at all in making small pot dishes.

Didn't I cook the dinner on the first floor before? ”

"Forget it, your old man is still in the kitchen on the first floor to guide Brother Xiaowu and Ah Wei and a few of them."

Jiang Yu calmed down for a while, but finally didn't agree.

Lao Jia's son is willing to let Lao Jia come over, that is to let him recuperate, not to work.

Moreover, the work in the kitchen is hard and tiring, and he is really worried that Lao Jia will be tired, and when the time comes, how will he explain to his son?

"No, you don't think about it?"

"Don't think about it, a handful of old people, just rest when they should rest, why are you so tired every day? Were you born to work hard? ”

"You ......"

"Okay Lao Jia, listen to my advice, stay well, you should eat, you should play, you are all retired, why bother yourself?"

Seeing that Jia Dequan was still a little depressed, Jiang Yu said with a smile,

"By the way, if you want to come up to eat, then you probably have to endure a little hunger, lunch and dinner upstairs are much later than here on the first floor."

When Jia Dequan heard this, his eyes lit up:

"Can I go up and eat with you as I like?"

"Of course you can!"

"Hey! You said it earlier, you had to tell me this earlier, so I wouldn't have said anything to help you! After decades of fumes, am I addicted to it? ”

Jiang Yu: "......"

Hold the grass! Lao Jia, you said that on purpose, right?

You must be mad at me on purpose!
