Chapter 506 Kitchen
Ning Weimin was extremely busy in order to hold the opening ceremony.
From the initial preparation to today's methodical actual operation, everything was done by him after repeated deliberation and single-handedly.
In order to do things extraordinarily well, he even did not hesitate to use favors and face to engage in moral kidnapping, and arrested Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing together as "corvees".
The couple was forced to put aside their own affairs and came here to help out on a voluntary basis two days before the opening.
Like today, Liu Weijing is mainly responsible for a series of things to welcome guests at the door.
From cutting the ribbon, signing in, handing out commemorative gifts, to cleaning up the mess at the door afterwards and paying the lion dance team, everything was done properly.
Similarly, Zhang Shihui maintained order upstairs and downstairs, and supervised the work of the front office and the kitchen very conscientiously, which also gave Ning Weimin great peace of mind.
So when the model performance ended, I watched all the guests enter the private room in an orderly manner.
This satisfactory result made Ning Weimin deeply satisfied with the work of Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing, and regarded the two as his right-hand assistants.
So under the infection of joy and relief, as soon as he saw Zhang Shihui coming from the kitchen, he took the initiative to greet him and expressed his gratitude and good mood frankly.
"Brother, buddy, you two really helped me a lot today. Everything goes well! We really got off to a good start! Look at our cooperation, what a tacit understanding!"
Follow Ning Weimin also pulled the person aside and whispered softly.
"Let's do this! You can stay here with me from now on. I'll ask Qiao Wanlin to change the relationship between you two, and I'll give you both a double salary from now on. It's just a thank you. How about it? I'm here Is it a good idea? From now on, you two can get one at Pierre Cardin and one at the restaurant. The salary alone will be three thousand yuan per month..."
Who knew he had such a good suggestion? Zhang Shihui couldn't be happy.
Instead, he frowned and told him bad news.
"Wei Min, you are too optimistic. Don't say this. In fact, I am looking for you to tell you that something happened in the kitchen..."
Looking around, I saw No one noticed, Zhang Shihui quickly lowered his voice and explained the specific situation.
"Go and have a look, everything is going on behind the scenes. In order to know how to cook and how to garnish the dishes, the chefs from the Oriole Restaurant in the Summer Palace and Beihai Fangshan have joined the reinforcements you are looking for outside. As for the chefs from other restaurants in our area, they are all standing by to watch the fun, but they are not working anymore. I tell you, you have to solve this matter quickly, or you can't hold it back. We can't open the banquet..."
Ning Weimin was stunned.
This really conforms to Murphy's law, what you are afraid of will come.
To be honest, he has long realized that the most trouble-prone person in this restaurant is the chef.
Because the current chef was put together by several groups of people.
Although there are many talents, each with their own strengths, the problem is that there is no one who has the authority to coordinate and take charge, and it is easy to cause conflicts.
Just like the two groups of chefs who came to Oriole Restaurant and Fangshan Restaurant, they regarded themselves as masters of palace cuisine and benefactors of "help and guidance".
When facing chefs from other places, they always show a superior attitude.
This is the biggest contradiction and hidden danger.
It’s just that this problem cannot be solved at once, so yesterday he held a meeting with the kitchen to prepare for the opening.
I hope that by promising a large reward, everyone can temporarily achieve unity and mutual cooperation for the sake of actual benefits.
Unexpectedly, on the first day, what should have happened happened.
Without asking, he could guess that the chefs at Oriole Restaurant and Fangshan must be dissatisfied with the new menu and dish production requirements he set after following "Zhang Dashao"'s advice, so they deliberately came up with it at such a critical time. Such a thing.
Fortunately, he is not stupid. He has taken precautions against someone getting stuck in his neck and has a backup plan. Like today, both Zhang Dashao and Master Pang were present, which was his backup plan to prevent this.
So he immediately asked Zhang Shihui to invite "Zhang Dashao", while he went to the kitchen to control the situation.
Sure enough, as soon as he came downstairs, before he entered the kitchen, he heard a small bright voice shouting in the mess inside.
"I won't do it! I won't do it! It's not such a hassle! Why can't these magnolia slices be canned? You have to choose one side of the dish..."
Following this was Master Chang Jing's sincere words. The voice said, "Needless to say, this is just for the quality of the dishes. Young man, you think the winter bamboo shoots have to be peeled, boiled, and spinned. It's troublesome, right? But if you use canned food, you can get all the freshness. No, of course it’s better to have fresh bamboo shoots. As for the spinach, isn’t it just for the sake of looking good?”
“Why are you not doing this? Really? I'm telling you, I can't mix this meat stuffing without adding starch! That's it, do you want to use it?" Another person said with a smokey and alcoholic voice.
"Hey, young man, don't give up. The banquet is about to begin. Aren't you deliberately trying to make things difficult for everyone?"
Master Chang Jing didn't finish his sentence this time, with that bright voice It's just boring.
"My master taught me this. You can't use it, right? Just throw it away..."
Another smoker and alcoholic voice immediately agreed. "Yes! If you don't use it if you like it, I'll just throw it away!"
At this time, I just heard a "pop", followed by someone shouting.
"Hey, why are you throwing things around? You threw a lot of meat stuffing over and it all fell into the pot! Look at this pot of chicken soup, you fucking ruined it! You sincerely Isn't it..."
This time the bright voice and the smoke and wine voice have the same hatred.
"Whose mother are you scolding? You motherfucker!"
"Grandson, you're looking for a slap in the face!"
This chaos made Ning Weimin angry, so he ran over to take a look.
Well, it’s a mess!
It turned out that Xiao Zhao and Xiao Cha, who were in charge of the side dishes, rebelled. One of these two boys came from the Summer Palace Tingli Restaurant, and the other came from Beihai Fangshan.
It's all a picture of unruly virtue, and he is openly challenging Master Chang Jing.
The person who was responsible for making the soup and was scolded was one of Master Pang's subordinates, Xiao Shi.
At this time, I felt angry, annoyed and wronged, and my face turned purple.
For no other reason, all his hard work was in vain.
This pot of clear soup is for making jasmine clear soup as the main course. It’s all muddy, how can I use it!
Can he not be impatient?
“Stop arguing!” Ning Weimin’s face was gloomy. He walked over and glared at Xiao Zhao and Xiao Cha.
These two boys are still indifferent, knowingly and provocatively asking questions.
"Manager Ning, why are you glaring at me?"
"It's just that you are trying to be biased right now?"
"Am I being biased? You can do it! Confusing right and wrong, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, right? I ask myself, I have nothing to do with you! Did we talk well yesterday? You are going to do this to me today and go back on your promise. Isn’t that kind?”
