The story of a cook

Chapter 257 The Fish Head Incident
If people are not happy, nothing is going well.

At noon, a table of guests reported that the fish head was not cooked and wanted to return the dishes.

I said: "Impossible, the fish heads are all stewed in advance, stewed for an hour, it is impossible not to be cooked."

The head waiter at the front desk said: "Then the customer said it was not cooked, and I have no choice but to return the food."

I said, "It's okay to return the food, but my kitchen is not responsible."

The head waiter said: "The customer returned the dish because the fish head was not cooked, and not because the service was not good. If your kitchen is not responsible, who will bear it?"

Hearing her say that, I immediately became angry, and immediately wanted to get angry.

I said: "Whoever wants to bear it, don't look for my kitchen."

The foreman was also very angry, and said very stiffly: "Your kitchen will have to bear it!"

I said: "You are bragging, ask our kitchen to undertake a try!"

"I'll ask your kitchen to take care of it!" the foreman said, turned and left.

Hearing that the foreman and I were passing the dishes, Boss Cao came over to ask what was going on, and told him about the situation. Boss Cao said, "Don't be angry, Tan Zi. Let's take a look at the fish head and see if it's all right or not. Stewed or something."

After a while, Qiuping took the fish head down, and I saw that it didn't make me mad. All the fish head left was the cheek meat, and the rest was eaten up.

If it’s not cooked, don’t eat it, what’s the matter with serving it when there’s nothing left.

Qiuping said: "The customer said that the cheek meat is not cooked."

I was so angry that I laughed.

Anyone who has eaten fish head knows that the meat on the side of the fish head is the most tender piece of meat. No matter how you stew it, it will tremble. The head is guaranteed not to be fresh, at least the fish head is more than three days old.

Boss Cao looked at the fish head, called the foreman over and said to the foreman: "There is nothing wrong with this fish head, it is the gill meat, the most delicious piece of meat on the fish head, it is tender no matter how it is stewed, tell the customer this The fish head cannot be retreated."

The foreman said: "Then the customer said he was not familiar with it, and I couldn't help it."

Boss Cao was also a little angry, and said to the foreman angrily, "You don't know how to explain to the guests."

The foreman said, "I can't explain it. Let Master Tan explain it to you."

One sentence pushed Boss Cao back. I thought Boss Cao was about to lose his temper, and his face turned red with anger.

I am also very angry, I have never seen such a foreman.

I rushed to the head waiter and said, "Don't hit me, I'll go, okay, I'll go." Then I walked away with the fish head in my hand, and after walking two steps, I turned around and said to her, "Lead me, which table belongs to the guests! "

The foreman said, "Don't ask me, ask your niece!"

I glanced at her, and wanted to put the plate directly on her head, but after thinking about it, it would be wrong, and it's better to solve the problem first.

On the second floor, Qiuping was standing in the service area, and asked her which table the fish head belonged to. Qiuping said it was from the Daya room inside, and walked towards the Daya room.

When I entered the elegant room, the guests saw me, a chef, coming in with a fish head, and they all looked at me curiously.

I said: "I'm sorry everyone, but I'm sorry to bother you. I'm the chef of our restaurant. My surname is Tan. I'm very glad to meet you brothers and sisters today. First of all, on behalf of the hotel, I wish you all good health, good luck, smooth work, and happy dining."

As soon as I finished speaking, a guest said, "That's very good, thank you."

"Did you come here because of the fish head?" A woman asked me. The woman looked 41 or [-], with one eye and a very intellectual look.

I laughed, stepped forward and put the fish head on the table, and said, "Sister, you are really right, you did come here for the fish head."

The female guest said: "Actually, the fish head made by your family is really delicious. Didn't you see that we all ate the fish meat? It's just that when we ate the fish gills, we found that the meat was too tender. It looks like it’s stewed, just tell your foreman if it’s not cooked, and your foreman said it’s cooked, I asked why it’s so tender, do you know what your foreman said? She said she didn’t know, it wasn’t stewed enough That place. You said that you don’t know what kind of stewed vegetables you sell, and your attitude is not good. I will tell her a few words and I want to return the fish head. If she says to return it, she will return it. Go to the cook."

I smiled and said: "Sister, don't be angry, it's because we didn't do our job well and caused you trouble. Here, my brother will apologize to you."

After I finished speaking, I bowed.

The female guest was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "No, no."

"We have to make an apology if we make a mistake." I said, "Let me tell you, sister, this fish head is cooked, and you are also a person who often eats fish heads. Our fish heads are freshly slaughtered every day. It is cut directly, which is absolutely guaranteed in terms of the quality of the fish head. In addition, the fish head you ate has been stewed for an entire hour to ensure that it is cooked and the taste has been stewed. I don’t know if you noticed it, but when you eat this fish Is the fish meat white and tender at the head, unlike the light soy sauce color of the meat you eat at other people's houses?"

The female guest said: "If you don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention. It seems to be true, but the fish head in your house today is indeed like this. The fish meat is white and tender."

I said: "Sister, as long as the fish head is fresh, the fish meat is white and tender as long as the fish head is fresh, and the fish meat is white and tender. When the fish meat is the color of soy sauce, it means that the fish is not fresh, and it was not freshly killed on the same day. There is also this piece of cheek meat It is the most delicious piece of meat in the whole fish head, if the fresh fish head is stewed, it will be so tender and trembling." I continued: "It is said that eating fish head nourishes the body, and women can also beautify the skin after eating it. In fact, it refers to this piece of cheek meat, because it contains living water factors and is purely natural. Eating it is definitely good for a woman’s skin. If you eat the fish head and find that the meat is not tender, it proves that the fish head is absolutely not It’s fresh, it’s not from the same day, so I suggest you don’t eat it.”

The female guest was a little dubious and asked me: "Really?"

I said: "I won't lie to you. It's not good for me to lie to you. In this way, sister, you can eat today's fish head. If it is really as uncooked as you said, and you will feel sick after returning home, the brothers at this table will pay the bill." , I don’t ask you to spend a penny, and I will bear all the medical expenses. If you feel good about eating, it’s the same as I said, I hope my sister and brothers and sisters will come to Heyuxuan often in the future, and I promise to do it for everyone The best dishes will satisfy everyone.”

The female guest was laughed at by me and said: "Actually, since we came to eat, we are not short of a fish head. It's just that your foreman talks too much, so we returned the fish head when we got angry. I still don't want to pay for it. I really have to taste this piece of cheek meat to see if it is as delicious as you said."

After talking about the female customer picking up the chopsticks to pick up the piece of cheek meat, a male guest asked me when she was picking up the meat: "Brother, are you the head chef?"

I said, "Yes, I'm the head chef."

The man said: "This gag is terrible, I don't think you should be a chef or a manager."

I smiled and didn't speak.

The female guest took a bite of the cheek meat, tasted it, and then said: "It's really delicious." At the same time, she said to other people at the table: "It's different from what we ate at that restaurant last time. You should also try it." .”

A few more people went to pick up the cheek meat, and they all said it was delicious.

Seeing this, I said: "Then don't bother your brothers and sisters to eat, and I wish you a happy meal again!"

Some guests said thank you, but the woman stood up and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

I said, "It's okay. It should."

I came out of the private room to the bar, and the bar asked me, "How is it? Master Tan."

I said, "It's okay, I pay the bill normally, and the fish head is counted."

When I went downstairs to Chuancaikou, Boss Cao was still there, but the foreman was not.

Boss Cao asked, "What did the guest say?"

I said, "Explain it to the customer. I'm very happy. It's all right. I'll pay the bill normally."

Boss Cao said: "Tanzi, is there a suitable foreman? Introduce one, this one won't work."

I said: "There is really no foreman. If you don't want to use her, I suggest not to look for her first. See if there is any suitable one among the old waiters. Promote one from there. First, you are familiar with our family and have been working for a long time. What's the matter?" They can all think about our family, and the second is to give some motivation to the waiters, and they are also motivated when they see what they are doing."

Boss Cao said, "I'll think about it and see who can do it."

When Boss Cao said he was looking for a foreman, he thought of Zhou Xiaomei, but he chose to give up, because she is still studying at Zhang Li's, and she has been working as a waiter before, so it is impossible to become a foreman so soon.Another point is that I don't want to bring her in front of me, as an adult, I can take care of myself and bring her in front of me. After all, men and women are different, so it's better to stay together as little as possible.Even Zhang Li hadn't had a drink together for nearly three months, so she was very calm.

Sometimes it is good for you to stay away from women.

The three students in the kitchen are all very good at learning, but the eldest Xu Zi introduced by Boss Cao is a bit slow and stupid. Fast, learning is very active, with style.Wang Dong was more lively, humming a few words when he had nothing to do, while Meng Hongwei was relatively introverted and didn't like to talk. He just worked with the second child and cleaned the chicken heads and feet very clean.Da Xuzi was a little stupid, but he was willing to do it. Needless to say, he had a little bit of energy and rushed to do it.Unloading vegetables every day, as long as there are bags of potatoes and Chinese cabbage, Wang Dong will call: Brother Xu——Big Xu Zi will go over and say: Get out of the way, you can’t do it, I have to come.

The monthly salary of the three of them is 150 yuan each. At that time, the salary of students in the provincial capital was usually [-] yuan. The three of them were considered high wages.
