"Taste, taste! This cold shrimp looks delicious at first glance! ”

Seeing that Jiang Yu had finished the cold shrimp, Lu Shuwu, who was originally sitting on the side wrapped in soup dumplings, saw this, quickly got up and ran to the sink to wash his hands, brought a clean small bowl, filled a bowl of brown sugar mint cold shrimp, put it to his mouth and drank a big sip.

"Well, it's delicious! Ice and refreshing, sweet in the mouth, this cold shrimp is soft and glutinous, and it doesn't bite into the mouth, it slides into the stomach by itself! ”

Lu Shuwu didn't even use a spoon, and after a few sips, he finished a bowl of cold shrimp, he smacked his lips and said with admiration,

"This thing is really cool to eat in summer, especially with mint added to it, and even the inhalation is cool after eating, so comfortable!

No, I'll have to try another bowl of sour and spicy flavors! ”

He smiled "hehe", and went to fill the empty bowl with hot and sour shrimp.

Jiang Yu ignored him, turned his head and saw that everyone else looked greedy, couldn't help waving his hand, and said with a smile:

"If you want to eat, you can pretend to be yourself, but just taste it, and you will have to eat breakfast later."

Hearing Jiang Yu say this, everyone couldn't help cheering, and they all ran over to get a bowl of cold shrimp one by one, and they couldn't wait, as if they were afraid that they would eat one less bite if they were one step slower.

Jiang Yu didn't pay attention to them, turned his head, pulled over a chair and sat down, and began to wrap the soup dumplings.

Whether it is in the eyes of Jiang teachers and students, or in the eyes of diners from all over the world, as long as you come to the Seven Canteens, the soup dumplings for breakfast are a must-order snack.

In addition to the soup dumplings made by Jiang Yu, the soup is indeed fresh and tender, and the meat is extremely delicious, and in fact, there are many legendary stories that people talk about on the soup dumplings.

For example, Yan Tongtong's classmate who suffers from mild anorexia can't eat in the summer, but he can eat the soup dumplings made by Jiang Yu, which has already become a well-known story.

This also makes the soup dumplings of the Seven Canteens invisibly add another layer of mystery.

It is precisely because of this that soup dumplings are the most sold snacks at breakfast every day, at least seven or eight hundred cages can be sold.

Therefore, relying on Lu Shuwu alone to make soup dumplings, it is really tiring and he is not enough to sell.

But fortunately, Jia Zhibin, the relative of his own family brought by Jia Dequan, will also make soup dumplings, and every morning after he scoops up rice and cooks all kinds of porridge, he will come over to help make soup dumplings together.

In addition, Jiang Yu will take advantage of his free time in the morning from time to time to come to the kitchen on the first floor to help.

With three people making soup dumplings together, it can barely meet the needs of the students, but it is obviously not a long-term solution.

The need for the seven canteens to be recruited again is already an imminent matter.

"Huh! Boss, this sour and spicy taste of cold shrimp is really sour and spicy, I am sweating all over my body, so cool! ”

Lu Shuwu ate another bowl of hot and sour shrimp, and his forehead was sweaty, he took his towel to the sink and washed his face, and washed his hands again, then sat back and continued to fill the soup dumplings.

He asked, as he wrapped the soup packets,

"By the way, boss, we will have to recruit one each of the red eucalyptus and white eucalyptus this time, but it's hard to find a chef of a certain level now, what are you going to do?"

Recruiting new people is often the easiest at the beginning and end of the year, because the vast majority of people will generally make it to the end of the year even if they are not satisfied with their current job, and few people will choose to "change jobs" in June and July in the middle of the year.

If you can't find a job in time in the second half of the year, won't you even have money in your pocket to go home for the New Year?

Of course, the most important thing is that employers rarely choose to recruit people in the middle of the year, and generally plan at the end of the year and replenish "new blood" at the beginning of the year.

Chefs are actually similar, especially chefs with a work unit, unless they are really dissatisfied, they often rarely choose to "change jobs", even if they want to leave, it is likely to wait until the end of the year.

This is why Lu Shuwu said that it is difficult to find a high-level chef now.

"The boss is going to hire a chef?"

Before Jiang Yu could speak, Ma Guoqiang interjected,

"It's the middle of the year, and it's a bit difficult to recruit a chef.

It's really not good, find a few apprentices to come over and deal with the emergency first, if you can't do it, you can also bring them, and if you can't adapt to it at the end of the year, let's find a chance to recruit a few chefs. ”

"If you really can't recruit a chef, you have to do it first."

Lu Shuwu frowned and thought for a while, nodded, and said,

"Although the apprentice can't help much, some small things can still be done, at least it can help reduce the burden a little, and if we take it with our hearts, as long as they are attentive, they can still learn some skills."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Yu again, and asked, "Boss, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange the matter of recruiting chefs." ”

"Huh? What do you mean, is there already a suitable chef? ”

When Lu Shuwu heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly asked,

"Boss, tell me what's going on, where did you get the chef?"

Ma Guoqiang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Yu, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes.

You must know that several people in the kitchen before were introduced by him and Lu Shuwu, although his own boss has superb cooking skills, but the time he has been engaged in this industry is too short, and there are no people in the circle who know him at all.

In that case, where did he get the chef?

"There's not a suitable chef yet, but I think I should be able to find a chef this way."

Jiang Yu glanced up at the two of them, didn't hide it, and said directly,

"Don't we have an account on the comics? The number of followers on that account is hundreds of thousands, and among so many people, there must be many people who are engaged in the profession of chefs.

My idea is very simple, just post a chef recruitment notice directly on our comic account, and among so many people, there will always be chefs who are willing to give it a try. ”

Lu Shuwu and Ma Guoqiang were stunned, they had always limited the scope of recruitment to Jiangzhou.

In such a big city, the number of chefs is already limited, and there are so many large and small restaurants and restaurants, and there are naturally very few chefs who are still looking for jobs.

But if this scope is expanded to all parts of the country, then the base will suddenly be many times larger.

The most important thing is that the Seven Canteens are famous and legendary, and for those chefs from other places, the attraction will certainly not be small.

Especially those chefs who want to take their cooking skills to the next level, with such a great god as Jiang Yu, I am afraid that as soon as those people learn that the Seven Canteens are going to recruit chefs, they will rush to come over!

Being able to get close to Jiang Yu and get his guidance at any time is a rare opportunity for those self-motivated chefs?

How could they be willing to miss it?

Thinking of this, Lu Shuwu and Ma Guoqiang were suddenly full of excitement, and they were almost stunned!

The boss's idea is really high!

……

Jiang Yu's work efficiency is extremely high, he just discussed the recruitment of chefs with Lu Shuwu, Ma Guoqiang and others in the morning, and arranged for Hua Xiaoling to send out the recruitment notice of chefs in the seventh canteen in the afternoon.

This time, it is not only the kitchen on the first floor that needs to be recruited, in fact, on the side of the No. 7 dining room on the second floor, Jiang Yu also needs a chef of a certain level to help.

Under Jiang Yu's careful teaching, although Du Guangning can independently make most of the cold dishes on the menu and some local specialties in Jiangzhou, he has not yet grown to the point where he can take charge on his own.

Of course, this "being in charge" is required by the standards of Jiangyu.

In fact, if Du Guangning goes out to apply for a job now, even if it is some big restaurants and restaurants in the city, he can sit firmly in the position of chef.

But in Jiang Yu's eyes, Du Guangning's cooking skills can only be a "assistant chef" at present.

The standards are different, and the requirements are naturally different.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Yu will think of recruiting another chef with a high level, and he does not require the other party to cook dishes that are as delicious as himself, but at least they cannot be worse than Du Guangning.

In this way, Du Guangning can be "liberated" and let him concentrate on making cold dishes, as well as those Jiangzhou specialties that he has mastered.

You must know that the No. 7 dining room has eight private rooms, and now it has been open for nearly half a year, and there are still only four private rooms, which is too "wasteful".

Therefore, Jiang Yu plans to open at least two more boxes from the second half of the year, and the remaining two boxes need to be reserved for emergencies.

After all, no one can say when the school will have a group of guests with status to be received, and it will be embarrassing if the box can't be vacated by then.

"Seven Canteens want to recruit chefs" has just been released on the "Jiangda Seven Canteens" comic account, which immediately attracted many netizens to "watch", and in just a few hours, the number of comments on this recruitment video exceeded 1,000.

"The seventh canteen wants to recruit a chef, but it's a pity, I'm not a chef, otherwise I would have flown over immediately, so that I can eat the food cooked by Boss Xiaojiang every day, it's very beautiful to think about!"

"Wow! I also want to be a chef like Boss Xiaojiang, but unfortunately the Seven Canteen doesn't recruit apprentices, and I cry to death! ”

"Uh, I'm a painter, and now it's too late to change careers to become a chef?"

"Alas! Although I am a chef, my level is obviously not up to the requirements of the recruitment posting, and I am still far from a senior chef! ”

"Seven Canteen is now recruiting several chefs, does this mean that more 'fan benefits' will be launched in the future? I still can't forget the peach blossom mille-feuille last time! ”

“……”

Netizens have left their heartfelt words in the comments, but chefs who really have ideas will most likely not easily reveal their intentions.

There are some things that you just know in your heart what to do, and there is no need to say them so that others will know about them.

The point is, once the idea of applying for the job is revealed, and the result is not successful, how faceless is it?

Jiang Yu's online recruitment has an unexpectedly good effect.

Early the next morning, less than 24 hours after the recruitment notice was issued, Hua Xiaoling ran over happily to report the good news:

"Boss, there are quite a few chefs who have sent resumes to apply, and I have received more than a dozen resumes in just one night!"

"Really? Don't be in a hurry to choose, wait for a few days to apply for more people, and then print out all the resumes, let's choose. ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and he said,

"We don't have many chefs to recruit, so it's good to choose a few suitable ones to come over for an interview."

"Uh-huh! I watched the comments on the audio and video, and many people are still very interested in our seven canteens. ”

Hua Xiaoling nodded again and again, and said with a smile,

"By the way, there are still many people who are saying that our seven canteens haven't launched 'fan welfare' for a long time, and ask when we can do 'fan welfare' activities again."

"Where is this time now? Besides, it's so hot and the food spoils easily, so I don't want to get into trouble. ”

Jiang Yu shook his head and smiled, and said after a while,

"Let's talk about it when the new chef arrives and you have some free time."

"Oh, okay, then I got it."

When Hua Xiaoling heard it, she also felt that what the boss said was quite reasonable, so she naturally stopped refutating, she nodded in response, and then turned around and went out to prepare for the live broadcast.

"Boss, in a while, the school will be on summer vacation, will it be inappropriate for us to recruit new people now?"

After Hua Xiaoling left, Lu Shuwu also came up and said with a puzzled expression,

"This new chef can't work for a few days, so we might as well wait until the end of August when the school year is about to start."

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said, "Who told you that we are going to have a summer vacation?" ”

"Uh...... What does the boss mean that our seven canteens will not have summer vacation this year? Lu Shuwu was stunned, his face full of surprise.

Jiang Yu turned his head to look at him, and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to take a holiday, or don't you want to take a vacation?" ”

"Hey, hey! It's hard to say. ”

Lu Shuwu raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment,

"When I'm busy in the kitchen every day, I want to take a vacation, but if it's a summer vacation, I feel that it's too long.

For two months, how can you stay at home? ”

"If you really go home from the summer vacation, I'm afraid you won't be so idle, right?"

Jiang Yu continued to be busy with the work in his hand, smiled and said,

"I don't believe that your old man will let you stay at home for so long, and he will definitely drive you to the kitchen of the restaurant."

"Or boss, you know my grandfather."

When Lu Shuwu heard this, his face suddenly became bitter, and his brows were furrowed like a chrysanthemum.

"My grandfather couldn't wait to teach me all the things right away, which means that he couldn't perform the empowerment Dafa, otherwise, he would have done it a few years ago."

"With such a grandfather who is a skilled cook, you should be content."

Jiang Yu raised his head and glanced at him again, pouted and said, "How many people want to learn his cooking skills, but unfortunately they don't even know where the door is." ”

"I'm not complaining about anything, I just think grandpa is too anxious, and some things still have to be done gradually."

Lu Shuwu shook his head and sighed.

Probably he also felt that it was useless to talk to Jiang Yu about this, so he soon stopped continuing the topic and said,

"By the way, boss, you haven't told me how to arrange the summer vacation!"

"The No. 7 dining room is a restaurant, there is no such thing as winter and summer vacations, and since the No. 7 dining room is open normally, the kitchen on the first floor cannot be empty."

Jiang Yu thought about it and said to Lu Shuwu,

"Although the school is closed, there are still many students who choose to stay in school, or review for the public entrance examination, or carry out social practice, so our canteen on the first floor will definitely be opened during the summer vacation.

However, considering that most of the students will leave the school, our seven canteens will not need to cook as many meals as usual, and we will arrange a break at that time.

After we recruit a new chef after a while, you can discuss and make a duty schedule on your own to ensure the normal operation of the canteen. ”

"Okay." Lu Shuwu nodded.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then went on to get busy.

……

Jiangzhou downtown, Qingshan Restaurant.

Now there is still some distance before lunch, although the kitchen is a little busy but not messy at all, a few small kitchen workers while sorting out the various fresh ingredients that have just been purchased, while talking to each other, whispering:

"Eh, did you see the message? Jiang Daqi Canteen is recruiting! ”

"I saw it too, but unfortunately, people are hiring chefs, not apprentices!"

"Hey, if I were a chef, I would definitely submit my resume, and if I went to the Seven Canteen, I would be able to eat the food cooked by Boss Xiaojiang every day, and I would feel happy when I thought about it!"

"Hehe, what you said is as if you have eaten the food cooked by Boss Xiaojiang."

"Uh...... Although I haven't eaten his food, I have eaten the peach blossom shortbread he made, and I will never forget the taste! ”

“……”

Although their voices were not loud, Xiong Zhengtao, who was standing not far away, heard them all in his ears, and he couldn't help but have a trace of yearning in his heart.

Just two days ago, he had submitted his resignation report to the restaurant, and as long as it went well, he could officially leave his post after a few days.

The reason why he wanted to resign, Xiong Zhengtao naturally went to Jiang Daqi Canteen to apply for a job.

Qingshan Restaurant is also a number one restaurant in Jiangzhou and even the whole province, with a full number of diners every day, and the business is quite hot.

The reason why the business is so prosperous, in addition to the geographical location of Castle Peak Restaurant, the most important thing is naturally because of the good taste of the restaurant's food.

The head chef of Qingshan Restaurant is surnamed He Donglai, who is in his 40s, and has a bunch of honors such as national senior culinary technician, Chinese famous chef, and culinary artist of Zhangjiang Province, and is good at the innovation, research and development and production of Zhangjiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine.

The dishes of Zhangjiang's famous dishes such as three-cup chicken, lotus blood duck, and white poured male fish head that he improved were deeply loved by diners, and attracted many people from all over the world to come to taste them.

It stands to reason that having such a skilled chef and being a chef in such a famous restaurant is a rare opportunity for a young man in his twenties like Xiong Zhengtao.

There are not only prospects for development, but also a stage for display, and the future is bright.

But Xiong Zhengtao was quite dissatisfied in his heart.

The reason is that he has worked in Qingshan Restaurant for nearly three years, but he found that he has not made much progress in technology, which is not because Xiong Zhengtao is not hard enough and unwilling to learn, in fact, he has today's cooking skills, most of which he has learned by himself.

The most critical reason why progress is too slow is because there is no one to guide you.

According to common sense, in addition to the reasonable division of the work of the chef, the head chef also has the responsibility of leading the chef to cook various dishes, accurately use various cooking methods, and ensure the quality of the products, but the head chef of Castle Peak Restaurant, He Donglai, is different from others.

When he was required to make high-quality dishes, He Donglai often operated like a tiger and didn't say a word during the whole process.

Not to mention explaining in detail to other chefs why this dish is made, and how to master these key skills, even if a chef asks, he will not say.

Of course, it's not that all the chefs in the kitchen can't get guidance, there are always a few chefs who are willing to pat their farts and look at their faces to curry favor with He Donglai, and give gifts or something during the New Year's holidays.

After staying in such an environment for a long time, Xiong Zhengtao felt that even his breathing became a little unsmooth.

In fact, long ago, when he found that his cooking skills were becoming more and more difficult to improve, he already wanted to change jobs, but before he could find a suitable place, he suddenly saw the recruitment information of Jiang Daqi Canteen, and a spark of hope suddenly rose in his heart.

As early as the beginning of the year, he had the privilege of going to the Seven Canteen with his friends to eat once.

Just that time, he never forgot the food cooked by Boss Xiao Jiang for a long time, and also gave him a deep understanding of Boss Xiao Jiang's cooking skills, and made him realize that Boss Xiao Jiang is extraordinary.

What's more, he also heard that Boss Xiao Jiang not only often instructs his chefs, but also never holds back, as long as you want to learn, he is willing to teach.

Isn't such a skilled chef, such a broad-minded and generous chef exactly what I hope to meet?

What's more, Boss Xiaojiang's cooking skills are much stronger than He Donglai's!

No matter how strong He Donglai is, can the banquet he make be sold for a high price of 100,000 yuan?

Now Xiong Zhengtao is worried that with his current cooking skills, if he goes to the seventh canteen to apply for a job, if Boss Xiaojiang can't look down on it, what should he do?

"Brother Tao, the head chef is looking for you!"

Xiong Zhengtao was thinking about these things in his heart, when an apprentice suddenly ran over and shouted.

Xiong Zhengtao was shocked and asked, "Huh? Do you know what the chef is looking for me? ”

"I don't know, but looking at his appearance, it seems that he is not in a very good mood, Brother Tao, you better hurry up."

"Okay."

Xiong Zhengtao nodded, he probably knew in his heart that the head chef was looking for him because he was going to resign.

It is impossible to raise idlers in the kitchen, it has always been a radish and a pit, and as soon as he leaves, he has to recruit new people again, and He Dong is troublesome.

What's more, He Donglai's temperament has already spread throughout the Jiangzhou chef circle, and people who really want to learn cooking will not come here at all.

Xiong Zhengtao put down the work in his hand, washed his hands, and then walked out of the kitchen and went to the chef's office.

As soon as he entered, he saw the head chef He Donglai sitting behind his desk, flipping through the computer and smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Xiong Zhengtao come in, He Donglai extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite, and said to him:

"Sit down."

"Thank you, Chef."

After Xiong Zhengtao sat down on the chair, he asked, "Did the chef come to me for any instructions?" ”

"That's right, I'm going to do a chef cooking skills training at the end of this month, and I'm going to put you on the training list."

He Donglai raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile,

"This chef training, not everyone participates, only those who perform well on weekdays can qualify, little bear, I am still very optimistic about you."

"Thank you Chef for your attention, but I'm sorry that I've already submitted my resignation."

Xiong Zhengtao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, if you don't train early or late, I'm going to resign, are you doing training?

But there is no turning back from the bow, and since he has resigned, of course, this training is not uncommon.

"Little Bear, I know you want to go to that Jiang Daqi canteen, but I'll be honest, a student cafeteria in a university, how does it compare with our restaurant?"

He Donglai turned his head and glanced at Xiong Zhengtao, and persuaded him earnestly,

"Are you willing to fry a big pot of food in a student cafeteria in the future?

You know, once you're in that pit, it's hard to jump out again, and no big hotel can look up to a canteen chef. ”

"I'm sorry, chef, but I've decided."

Xiong Zhengtao thought about it for a while, but still said, "Our restaurant is really good, but I have my own pursuits." ”

"Hey! You lad! ”

He Donglai shook his head and said with a disappointed expression, "You will definitely regret it in the future." ”

Xiong Zhengtao didn't speak, he glanced slightly, and saw the sky outside the window was as blue as a wash, and a few birds flapped their wings and flew high into the sky in the blink of an eye.

He thought to himself:

Regret?

If I stay here to participate in the chef training organized by you and choose to give up the opportunity to go to Jiang Daqi Canteen, then I will really regret it!
