The situation Liu Huaxing said is slightly different from the process in a real French restaurant.In French restaurants, the chef basically doesn’t need to cook by himself, unless one of the chefs below makes a mistake and cannot make up in time, the chef and the assistant chef will cook together to help the kitchen resume operation. .
The situation Liu Huaxing said is that other chefs will do what he says, and then he will make the final fine-tuning. For example, if you give less mint leaves and lemon juice, he will give more, and if you give more, he will add more. The soup base, so that each dish can roughly reach the level he requires, otherwise it would be too late to deal with so many customers at the same time.
Yang Chengzhi told the chefs in the kitchen that the chefs were reluctant for the first time, because they didn't believe that the guests came for Liu Huaxing's boiled fish.After Yang Chengzhi showed them the article in Food Weekly, everyone was silent. This is an achievement they haven't achieved in many years, and Liu Huaxing only two weeks after he came...
After everyone agreed, they began to prepare in the way Liu Huaxing said.
The kitchen is like a battlefield at this time. Because there are still many customers waiting to eat, the dining process in the store must be accelerated. The faster the food is served, the better. For this reason, it will be launched within an hour. Customers who have finished their meal can get a 20% discount when they pay.This means that the process cycle of the entire kitchen has to be accelerated by several levels than usual.
Soon, Yang Xiaoxiao also came in from outside, changed into the chef's clothes, and complained: "A lot of people, I don't know where they came out, as if there were not a few people in the previous second... "
"Little Strawberry, hurry up and prepare, and your sweet-scented osmanthus cake can't be slowed down!" Liu Huaxing frowned.
Yang Xiaoxiao was stunned, realizing Liu Huaxing's harshness today, so he quickly responded and went to the oven to prepare.
But Yang Xiaoxiao's work is relatively easy. Only a small portion of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is given to the table where the amount is over two hundred, so there is no need to worry. Liu Huaxing just asked her to concentrate and not relax because of it. Today is very important.
Sure enough, when the first wave of orders came, everyone in the kitchen felt like a big mountain was pressed up. The waiter in front handed over the recipe and sang: "8 tables of guests, boiled fish, mixed three silks, white Cut chicken, fish-flavored pork; 12 tables of guests, boiled fish, Dongpo meat, boiled cabbage, Mapo tofu; 16 tables of guests, boiled fish, salt and pepper ribs, three non-stick..."
Because everyone’s purpose is relatively clear, they are mainly for boiled fish, supplemented by other dishes, so the ordering speed is also very fast, almost the first time there is a menu of more than a dozen boiled fish. The whole kitchen is very busy. Everyone doesn't even have the time to chat. Even communication is just the simplest two words, it's like a battlefield.
Liu Huaxing helped prepare the first round of cooking in the kitchen. He was slightly faster than the others, so he finished the first table of cooking and served the table before the other chefs completed the menu at hand. Huaxing went to try it again, and adjusted the final taste before serving it to the waiter.
Although it was really busy, the whole kitchen was orderly.Under Liu Huaxing’s control, the taste of the dishes is absolutely okay. Of course, other chefs are definitely not as good as him in detail, but there is no way. With such a large passenger flow, no chef can run the entire kitchen by himself, not to mention Not everyone can taste the difference.
Because the number of guests was too much, Liu Huaxing had no time to eat when Wang Mei came to deliver the meal. Because no one could take his place, he couldn't take care of the meal. He was busy in the kitchen.What's more, he has been trying a variety of dishes, and he is not hungry.Yang Chengzhi knew that today was very important, and did not let Wang Mei disturb him.
Yang Xiaoxiao's performance is also good, making batches of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes waiting to be served with them.
This peak dining period lasted until more than eight o'clock in the evening before finally slowing down. After the last order of the guests was completed, Liu Huaxing breathed a sigh of relief, and took the towel from Yang Xiaoxiao and wiped his sweat.
"Thank you." Yang Chengzhi ran back to the kitchen and said out of breath: "I have already told the guests that the limited supply of boiled fish has ended, and after that is the late tea stage, providing late refreshments and midnight snacks. It will be today. Here, you can rest."
"Ah..." Liu Huaxing replied, and the whole person was a little faint. He didn't know before that being a chef was so exhausted that there was still a certain gap between him and the assistant chef.Probably because he is not really doing what the chef does. On the one hand, he has to maintain a high level of concentration like the chef, and on the other hand, he has to adjust the taste by himself.
"Xingxing, you have worked hard." Yang Xiaoxiao said distressedly, holding his face, "I haven't eaten any food... Come and eat some."
"Hey, how can you eat it when it's cold? I'll go to the restaurant's microwave to warm it up." Wang Mei frowned.
Liu Huaxing just smiled and shook his head: "No, I ate a lot of food just now, and I am not very hungry now."
"Good boy...Five, six, seven, eight, the turnover exceeded 50,000 in four hours!" Yang Chengzhi pointed to Liu Huaxing and said angrily and funny, "I have almost forgotten what was the last time the store was so good. It's about time. Probably it was the National Day holiday the year before last, right? That year happened to be a linkage discount between us and the travel agency..."
The per capita consumption in the store is about 100, and the turnover is 50,000, which means that they have entertained four to five hundred people, so there should be about one hundred orders.Liu Huaxing made an estimate, and then nodded in satisfaction: His craftsmanship has not regressed over the years.
After all, he has been cooking for a group of little girls every day since he came back from reading files. Yang Xiaoxiao basically grew up eating the food he cooked, so it is naturally impossible for his craft to regress.Today’s work is over here, but today is just the beginning. Saturday and Sunday will be more popular than today because of weekends, and every week after that.
Yang Chengzhi also knew this, and exhorted: "Tomorrow's business will be better than today. Let's eat something to pad your stomach in the afternoon. Just wait for something to eat after work. On the way back, I will buy some McDonald's to eat together. "
"Yeah." Liu Huaxing nodded in response, and Yang Chengzhi greeted him: "My child's mother, you take them out first. I will explain to the successor."
When he got into the car outside, Wang Mei didn't rush into the car, waiting for Yang Chengzhi outside, but Liu Huaxing sat in the car with Yang Xiaoxiao first.Yang Xiaoxiao held his face and kissed him with a "click", but she did look sad: "Xingxing, I feel so distressed when you are like this. I have been busy, sweating profusely, and I don't even have the effort to drink saliva. ."
"It's okay, now I have time to'drink'." Liu Huaxing smiled and leaned over to kiss her, and put his tongue over.
"Smelly rascal..." Yang Xiaoxiao squinted at him and said with a smile: "But although I am very distressed, but I think you are so handsome when you are serious, looking at me, I want to throw you down."
"Who made me your man?" Liu Huaxing put his forehead on the little girl's forehead and rubbed it.
"Hmm..." Yang Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose and wrinkled her nose at him, showing her cute little tiger teeth. At this moment, Liu Huaxing suddenly realized that Yang Xiaoxiao's tiger teeth were a little bit sharper than ordinary people, and they were very cute like a kitten. .
"You little cute... why are you so likable?" Liu Huaxing rubbed her head and said.
"I hate it, pour other people's ecstasy soup..." Yang Xiaoxiao groaned, "Is you hungry?"
"I won't be hungry, but I didn't feel full..." Liu Huaxing thought for a while and replied.
"I will buy you KFC on the way back later." Yang Xiaoxiao touched his face and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Liu Huaxing smiled and nodded. At this time, Wang Mei pushed open the door and got into the car. Looking at the sweet appearance of the two people, she exclaimed: "It's so affectionate. I still need me and me in such a while. Child and she Dad is here?"
Soon, Yang Chengzhi got in the car, and the four of them set foot on their way home.
"If you want me to say, your child can concentrate on working in my place." Yang Chengzhi said a little bit irritably, "With this business, the restaurant's annual turnover is more than 10 million yuan. Although other chefs may be dissatisfied, But I believe they are convinced in their hearts, and giving you an annual salary of about 500,000 yuan is not a problem."
"Xingxing, an annual salary of 500,000 yuan!" Yang Xiaoxiao pulled up his sleeve and smiled. Liu Huaxing just smiled and did not rush to reply. In fact, he felt that his ability was more than 500,000 yuan, whether he was a chef. This matter is still outside of this matter.
"Actually, uncle, you don't need me to stay in the restaurant, as long as the dishes are there." Liu Huaxing looked out the window with a sigh and replied, "I'm actually a person with no big ambitions. Try this kind of life occasionally. It’s good, but I’ll find it a little bit hard for me to continue cooking. Cooking should be a happy thing for me. I hope I will enjoy it when I cook, and look forward to the happy expression of the person I like. It’s not stressful like taking an exam."
As he said, Liu Huaxing bowed his head and said, "So, I think I am a good cook, but I am not suitable to be a professional cook. Uncle, I cannot agree to your request, but if you need my help, I will come back to help. of."
"Oh, it's a pity, this kind of talent..." Yang Chengzhi said regretfully, "You know, if you stick to it, you might be able to become a Michelin-star restaurant someday. You don't know how the guests today have responded. How good, these recipes would be too wasteful for those who don’t have a sense of belonging. I don’t know when they will change jobs. It’s safest to keep them in the hands of my family..."
"It's useless for them to change jobs." Liu Huaxing said disapprovingly, "This recipe is useless even if you know the recipe. What makes this recipe effective is not the individual dishes themselves, but the overall sense of the combination of these dishes. They can’t steal or learn this'whole feeling'."
"But, how do you ensure that this recipe can continue to work after you leave the restaurant?" Yang Chengzhi frowned, and Liu Huaxing explained: "It's very simple. I will slowly make some boiled fish set meals and cook them in water. The fish is paired with some of the more famous dishes in the store, and there are several set meals for one person and two people, and then the guests will be convenient to choose..."
"So..." Yang Chengzhi is also a knowledgeable person after all, and Liu Huaxing understood when he said it.
"The characteristic of this kind of boiled fish is that the portion is well controlled, and the fish oil is relatively small and not easy to solidify. When the food delivery industry emerges in the future, the store can have a certain degree of competitiveness in the food delivery industry." Liu Huaxing continued.
Seeing Liu Huaxing's comprehensive consideration, Yang Chengzhi also had nothing to say, but he still looked unwilling.Liu Huaxing knew in his heart that the only way Yang Chengzhi wanted to keep him was to use Yang Xiaoxiao to keep him. If Yang Xiaoxiao asked him to stay in the restaurant and be a simple cook with her, and live a simple life. , Then he will agree.
but……
"Oh, don't worry about what my Xingxing will do in the future. He can do whatever he wants." Yang Xiaoxiao said in a bad mood.
"Oh, this is your family, huh?" Yang Chengzhi was sour at the time, and said in a bad mood: "I tell you, even if you marry him, I am his father-in-law! What is your family? Our family's !"
These words made Yang Xiaoxiao have nothing to say, she could only smile and shut her mouth.
There was a burst of laughter in the car, and soon the car stopped in front of KFC. Yang Xiaoxiao took Liu Huaxing out of the car to buy a family bucket, and then ate together.Because not only Liu Huaxing, but Yang Chengzhi has been busy with nothing to eat.
Liu Huaxing felt that in this picture at this moment, Yang Xiaoxiao and him were sitting in the back seat. Yang Chengzhi and Wang Mei were sitting in the front driver’s seat and co-pilot. The four of them were eating from the bucket of the family. There is a small sentence without a sentence, this picture will always be in his mind, what he wants to remember is such a picture, not busy in the kitchen.
When the car arrived downstairs at his house, Liu Huaxing got out of the car, and Yang Xiaoxiao waved his small hand: "Xingxing, see you tomorrow morning."
Liu Huaxing bent down by the car window and gently touched the little girl's head before he waved his hand upstairs.This kind of life is a bit hectic, but Liu Huaxing thinks it is meaningful and fulfilling.Wasting time will make people feel anxious inexplicably, and this anxiety will disappear only when doing meaningful things.
However, when I was with Yang Xiaoxiao, all my worries were gone.In his opinion, the happiest thing in life is that when he wakes up in the morning, he can see the sweet smiling face of Little Strawberry right in front of him.
"What time is it?" The next morning, Liu Huaxing looked at Yang Xiaoxiao who was lying beside him and asked with a smile, still a little confused.
"A quarter past eight." Yang Xiaoxiao replied with a grin, "I think you were a bit hard yesterday, and came to accompany you early this morning. Don't worry, I haven't bought breakfast yet. I will wait until you get up. Go with you."
As he said, Yang Xiaoxiao got into his arms, then hugged his waist and pressed it to his chest: "By the way, I will be tired of you for a while..."
"Silly girl..." Liu Huaxing laughed, resisting the urge to propose to the little girl, and patted her ass: "What a bouncy little ass."
"Then touch it more." Yang Xiaoxiao rubbed his head with a smile on his face.
