"Water Flower" clubhouse.

Watching Hu Pingtao and Li Song walk into the office under the guidance of the waiter, Fu Yuehui stood up from the high-back chair behind the desk and greeted them with a smile.

"Xiaohu, long time no see! How is it going?" Fu Yuehui is a nostalgic person. He always thought that Hu Pingtao took the initiative to help him last time, otherwise the stubborn Chen Hong would definitely make trouble.

"It's okay, I go to work every day." Hu Pingtao replied with a casual smile, then turned sideways, let out Li Song who was following behind, and introduced: "Boss Fu, this is the Li Song I told you about."

"Look, you're out of touch now." Fu Yuehui raised his face and pretended to be angry, "What's Mr. Fu and Mr. Fu? He's called Brother Fu."

He has a good impression of Hu Pingtao, and he really likes this young man.

"Okay, Brother Fu." Hu Pingtao quickly changed his words: "Xiao Li has a chef certificate, and the dishes are very good. Look, do you want him to try?"

The last time the red wine incident was resolved, Hu Pingtao and Fu Yuehui added WeChat to each other.Coincidentally, some time ago, Fu Yuehui sent a message in the circle of friends to recruit a chef.At that time, Hu Pingtao didn't care about it. He went to Baijing Community to do business that day, and he remembered it after Wang Zhiming said it.So today I specially said hello to the office and brought Li Song over for an interview.

Fu Yuehui did not directly agree.He sized up Li Song and asked Hu Pingtao, "Is Xiao Li your friend?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Yes."

He has not been idle these few days and has learned about Li Song's situation in detail.

Li Song was lured into taking drugs, and without knowing it, smoked cigarettes mixed with heroin.Later, when symptoms of addiction appeared, the family members found something was wrong, called the police, and sent it to the hospital. Only then did they find out.

He stayed in the drug rehabilitation center for half a year, and stayed at home after he came out. Every time he was required to report to the community, there was no delay, and there was no record of actively buying drugs afterwards.

Hu Pingtao has always believed that we should try our best to help people who have difficulties in life.As long as they are not committing crimes and committing heinous crimes, they should be tolerated and given a chance to reform themselves.

Director Liao Qiu often says a word: As long as the society is better and people are kind, our work burden and pressure will be less.

"It's fine with your words." Fu Yuehui was very straightforward: "Then try it first before talking. Let's go, let's go to the kitchen."

This hour is still some time before dinner, and there are only a few employees in the back kitchen who are picking and washing vegetables.At this time, it would be wasteful to light a fire and cook a pot, but Fu Yuehui was obviously rich and powerful, and he was indeed the kind of person who wanted to recruit real talented chefs.While asking the head chef to turn on the switch to ignite the fire, he told Li Song to fry three dishes: fried fish fillet, Kung Pao chicken, and mapo tofu.

According to legend, the biggest and most scalp-numbing test for chefs, scrambled eggs, this dish is not in the scope of the test.That is actually a story fabricated by laymen based on speculation and speculation in the industry.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no basis.But as a catering business operator, Fu Yuehui's actions must be based on reality. Although the "Shuihuahua" club is a high-end restaurant with high-end pricing and no casual dealings, many customers often order meals in addition to high-end dishes. A home-cooked dish or two will be added.On the one hand, it is out of habitual thinking. After all, these dishes are commonly eaten. As an embellishment among lobster and abalone, the guests who accept the banquet will feel very attentive; on the other hand, there is also a subconscious mentality of trying.After all, this is a high-end restaurant, and the home-cooked food should be better than ordinary small restaurants.

There is both soap and hand sanitizer in the washroom.Li Song did not choose the latter, but carefully wiped his hands with soap, and then rinsed them thoroughly.

This detail made Fu Yuehui nod secretly: He didn't arrange the side dishes, he just wanted to see Li Song's operation ability.Now it seems that the person introduced by Hu Pingtao is quite reliable.For chefs, especially senior chefs, there is an unacceptable rule in the industry-those who serve dishes cannot use hand sanitizers, but must use soap to prevent the residual industrial aroma from affecting the ingredients.

Three courses were served quickly.Fu Yuehui was not busy moving his chopsticks. Compared with the taste, he paid more attention to the presentation of the dishes and the first impression.

Today's restaurants all use MSG and oil consumption. People who have learned the basics of cooking can make dishes that taste almost the same.Take fried fish fillets as an example, the frying process is the same in most restaurants.It is nothing more than sliced ​​live fish, wrapped in protein and starch, deep-fried in an oil pan, drained from the pan and added with side dishes, and finally stir-fried over high heat.

The biggest difference between a person who can cook and a professional chef lies in the side dishes.The main color of the fish fillet dish is yellow and white, and it is best to match it with tender green vegetables.Green peppers, celery, lettuce, the green part of the top of Shawo radish, and even sliced ​​bitter vegetable stalks and then blanched... In short, the visual effect is more important than the taste.

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable: for a dish that looks ordinary and does not generate appetite, even if the chef swears that it is delicious, no one will want to use chopsticks.

The fried fish fillet in front of me is colored with lettuce, and a few wolfberries are sprinkled on the surface.The combination of red and green complements each other, which makes people feel bright.

Fu Yuehui picked up a piece of fish fillet and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly.

The fish meat is very tough, without the loose feeling of over-cooking. It is moderately salty and slightly sweet, which is very natural.

The other two dishes were also very good. Fu Yuehui made a comprehensive review and gave a "seventy points" evaluation in his heart.

This score is already high.According to Fu Yuehui's requirements, if you pass [-] points, you can join the job.

He put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Song who was standing across the dining table with a smile, and said nervously: "Xiao Li, the dishes are well done. How about it, you come to work tomorrow. Two months...well, one month's trial During the term, I will get [-] first, and [-] a month after becoming a full-time employee, plus overtime and delays, and five social insurances and one housing fund. Hehe, what do you think?"

Li Song was wearing a new set of white chef uniform and an apron in front of him, and his hands were holding each other all the time.With a dull temperament, he actually didn't have much hope for this temporary exam. If it wasn't because Hu Pingtao spoke for himself in the community that day and calmed Hu Laosan, Li Song might not have followed him to this high-end club .

Four thousand for the trial period?
Six thousand and five after becoming a regular?
There are five social insurance and one housing fund?
Li Song felt that all this was too unreal.

He hated himself for taking drugs, although it was not his own subjective will, but once the brand of "drug addict" was carried on his body, he could never wash it off.

He thought about changing his life through hard work, and also wanted to share the worries of his family.But no matter where you apply for a job, you will be ruthlessly rejected because of the brand of "drug addict".The aversion, hatred, vigilance, and defense against drugs in this society are so strong that almost everyone, from national laws to social consensus, is resisting.

Not to mention 4000 yuan, even if it is [-] yuan or even less, Li Song is willing to work hard for it.

He stood there like this, his body began to tremble unconsciously.There was an unprecedented sense of unreality in my heart, but I was more grateful.

Both Fu Yuehui and Hu Pingtao saw Li Song's true thoughts.The former is because of his rich experience, while the latter is because he has known Li Song's situation and understood his desire for life and work.

"Xiao Li, come to work tomorrow!" Fu Yuehui smiled gently: "You add my WeChat, and I will send you the phone number of the director of the catering department. You can just call him when you come tomorrow."

"...Thank you! Thank you!" Li Song quickly thanked him. He lost control of his emotions slightly, sniffing his nose hard, and his hands that were clenched together were tighter than before.

Fu Yuehui stood up, walked in front of Li Song, and encouraged with a smile: "The dishes are well done, very professional. Work hard, and you will do well."

Li Song blushed and nodded excitedly.

Patting Li Song on the shoulder, Fu Yuehui walked up to Hu Pingtao, who smiled knowingly and asked, "Brother Fu, what do you need from me?"

Hu Pingtao is very smart.

He called Fu Yuehui before and explained Li Song's situation.I thought I was just looking for a job for Li Song, but I didn't expect that Fu Yuehui's treatment was far beyond imagination.Of course, Li Song's personal ability is good, but Fu Yuehui personally came to the kitchen to watch him cook, and the following series of actions went beyond "helping" in the normal sense.

Fu Yuehui smiled.He turned around and said to Li Song: "Xiao Li, go to the office on the third floor to find the secretary Xiaotian, and tell you that I asked you to go through the entry procedures. Fill out the form and get your clothes."

Li Song obeyed and left the kitchen.

"Xiao Hu, I really need you." Fu Yuehui and Hu Pingtao were the only two people left in the empty back kitchen, and they didn't have so many scruples about speaking.

"Brother Fu, what happened?"

"There's something wrong with me."

Fu Yuehui led him around the workbench, and came to the long table full of various ingredients, pointed to a pot of abalone soaked in clear water, and said seriously: "Braised abalone is the signature dish of my restaurant, and there are many repeat customers." , the amount of ingredients is also large. For abalone, there is a big difference between fresh abalone and dried abalone. In order to ensure the quality and taste, I use the best South African dried abalone here. Look at these developed abalones, they are all the best four-headed abalone."

The abalone in the basin was really big, Hu Pingtao looked at it and nodded secretly.According to industry rules, the bigger the abalone, the better.How many abalones weigh one catty are called abalones.If there are two per catty, it is called double-headed abalone; if there are three per catty, it is called three-headed abalone, and so on.

It should be noted that the one catty here refers to one Sima catty, which is [-] grams.

"Xiaohu, when I open a shop and do business, what I pay attention to is a reputation. The price of this kind of South African four-headed dried abalone can be sold for two to three thousand in the market, and I can get it from a friend for about one thousand per catty. This thing It’s quite expensive, and most of the people who come to me to order abalone are repeat customers, on the one hand, it tastes good, and on the other hand, it’s genuine.”

(The market price of abalone fluctuates greatly, the article is based on the market price in Hong Kong in 2015)
