Xia Jing goes to the dressing room to change into a chef's dress, and then comes to the back kitchen. The chef and assistant of the back kitchen are all dressed up to welcome Xia Jing.
Xia Jing is not only good at cooking, but also well paid. Therefore, these middle-aged and strong male chefs attach great importance to this job and are very respectful to Xia Jing.
Xia Jing is the boss. She only cooks important guests or some special dishes herself. Most of the dishes ordered by other diners are cooked by these chefs, so they are the mainstay of Xiaoxia restaurant. However, Xia Jing has passed on some of their unique cooking skills to ensure a unified taste.
"Today, everyone cheer up. The judge of Michelin is coming to try it. We can't lose our face in Xiaoxia restaurant." Xia Jing is lecturing these chefs.
"OK, Mr. Xia, don't worry. We'll let foreigners have a good time."
A northern chef's humorous remarks caused a burst of laughter.
"Well, the western food team will work hard today. I think he will focus on Western food." Xia Jing said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xia. If I lose my job, you will deduct half a month's salary." Master you, who specializes in making western food, gives a lot of advice.
Colleagues around are very surprised. I didn't expect Lao you to issue such a fierce military order. Their monthly salary is 20000 yuan, which is a lot of money. However, it also shows that Lao you is full of confidence and has won a round of applause.
"Well, let's work together today, and try to get our Michelin 3-star boss to come back and get an evaluation of it." Xia Jing said.
"Mr. Xia, you see, Michelin has only three stars. If it has four or five stars, we can judge it!" A chef laughs.
No wonder they are so confident. These chefs are all hired by Xia Jing with a lot of money. Before, they were all chefs in some big hotels with superb cooking skills and full of confidence.
"Confidence is a good thing, but don't be conceited. I see your performance!"
Xia Jing encouraged her and began to work.
She first looked at some of the ingredients she salted and processed yesterday, and saw that the hair soaking was good, so she didn't delay using them.
Next, she called the fruit and vegetable suppliers and asked them to send more fresh Western food materials today, so that the foreign judges could have a good time.
After checking the kitchen, Xia Jing goes to the front desk to train the waiters. After all, service is also an important indicator for the selection of Michelin restaurant. It's the most basic to always smile. Besides, it's also necessary to have standard behavior and politeness. Even the jewelry and hairstyle should be unified as far as possible. They can't be careless at all.
Having done all this, Xia Jing is in the restaurant, waiting for Michelin judges to come.
In the evening, wearing a stiff suit, Chen Hao comes to Xiaoxia restaurant to cheer Xia Jing on.
He just sat in a small box and got some fruit snacks to wait for him. He also wanted to see how the judges judged. It was a long experience.
"Boss, I'll make you what you want to eat."
Xia Jing sees Chen haolai and sticks around him. She is more active and enthusiastic than her maid.
"Don't say hello to me. You can help yourself. The foreigner will come in half an hour." Chen Hao said.
He has received a call from Wen Congli, and he will accompany the assessor to the scene in person.
Chen Hao is delicacy. He looks like some official account. The judges use the form of secret visits to explore the shops, so that they can taste the most authentic food and service of a restaurant. But Chen Hao does not understand this line. It may not be the official account.
After half an hour, a waiter came to report that Wen Gongli, vice president of the international gourmet Association, had arrived with an old foreign man.
Chen Hao nodded and asked the waiter to be busy. Now Xia Jing is the owner of the restaurant. Just let her serve. He observes the people through the monitoring in the restaurant.
Wen Li Li is very familiar with Chen Hao. Before he came here to play, he was educated by the food of Xiaoxia restaurant. Since then, he has become a volunteer propagandist of the restaurant. He has written many recommended articles in various media, which has played a certain role in the promotion of the restaurant.
Wen Li Li is surrounded by a foreign old man in a suit. He seems to be in his fifties with golden hair, which is similar to the hairstyle of Zhiwang. However, he is haggard, thin and has no smile on his face. He seems to be a very serious person. This kind of person is usually not easy to deal with.
Xia Jing is receiving two guests at this time.
"Hello, Mr. John, chairman Wen." Xia Jing came to meet her in a cook's suit.
"Boss Xia is more and more beautiful." Wen said with a smile.
"Chairman Wen, you're welcome." Xia Jing responded with a smile.
"Mr. John, please go upstairs. We have an original holographic box for you." Xia Jing invited me politely.
But John shook his head and said in English, "I don't need a box. I want to eat in the most popular hall. The dishes of other guests are also one of my assessment criteria."
Xia Jing is good at cooking, but it doesn't mean that she is good at foreign languages. She didn't pass CET-4 when she was in college, which makes it difficult for her to understand what the foreigner is saying.
"Hurry to find someone who can speak English!" Xia Jing rushed to find translators.
John then said, "the restaurant can't communicate in three languages. It's a shame."
"Damn it
Xia Jing cursed in her heart. Today, she really had a bad start. Before serving, she was deducted points. This foreign old man is too strict.
When Chen Hao saw this situation, he didn't want Xia Jing to be in such a mess, so he appeared in person. He came to the hall and talked with John in fluent English: "Hello, Mr. John. We respect your opinions. We'll arrange a seat for you immediately. Please go upstairs."
Chen Hao gives Xia Jing a wink. Let her go to the kitchen to prepare.
Xia Jing gives Chen Hao a "this old man is not easy to deal with" gesture, and then went to the kitchen.
John, noncommittal, followed Chen Hao to the fifth floor, which is the western food area. Some of the guests who eat here are dressed in formal clothes, eating steak and red wine.
"Whatever you want to taste, just order." Chen Hao became a temporary translator.
It's just that he has a high face and millions of clothes, which is much more luxurious than the two diners. It's not in line with the temperament of the waiter.
"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. Mr. John is the host and guest this time. I'll do whatever I want. Just order our specialty." Wen Li said politely.
John is not polite. He orders a long list of dishes in English, but Chen Hao has never heard of them. So he records them in English. Later, he will go to the back and discuss with Xia Jing to know what he orders.
"OK, just a moment. The meal will be ready in a minute." Chen Hao said it in both Chinese and English, and went to the kitchen with the waiter who took the menu.
"Mr. Chen, wait a moment!"
Wen Li Li suddenly catches up with Chen Hao and indicates that he has something to say in private.
Chen Hao nodded and asked the waiter to deliver the dishes. He and Wen Li Li went to the empty box to talk.
