The story of a cook

Chapter 270
When she got up at eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Yan had already left for work.

He received a call from Zhou Ming, saying that he had bought a train ticket with Wang Dong and was about to get on the train and go home.Tell him good voyage and call when you come back.As soon as Zhou Ming finished calling, Zhang Jun and Yang Zhijun also called, saying that they would go home by car immediately and contact them when they came back.Then came the call from the second child, saying that Meng Hongwei had been sent to the train, and that he had contacted Meng Hongwei's father there, and his father would pick him up at the train station after the train arrived.I asked my second son when he would go to Xiaowan's house.The second child said that it was only these two days, and he would go when Xiao Wan asked for leave.

The team disbanded, everyone went home, and my brother was left alone.I have nothing to do at home, but I have nothing to do at home, so I lie on the bed and turn on the TV to watch TV.

The TV was on, and my eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and my mind was full of other things.

Everything in He Yuxuan's kitchen kept appearing in front of his eyes, very clearly.

Knowing that he couldn't calm down, he just sat up and lit a cigarette and smoked.

Every time I was laid off before, there was no such situation, and I was very peaceful, but this time I was a little restless, as if something was blocked in my heart, and I was very uncomfortable.It’s not that I’m worried because I lost this job and can’t earn money. It’s easy to find a job, and I can find it. I don’t worry about not being able to find a job. I just feel that I worked hard and ended up being laid off. , very annoying, and at the same time feel that there are many problems in it.

Is it all about Boss Cao's wife?Obviously not all, it has something to do with myself.I was able to communicate with the brothers under my command, and the communication was very good, and I was recognized and trusted by everyone, and became their boss.I was also able to communicate with Boss Cao, and the communication was pretty good. If we did not communicate well, the hotel business would not have such a big improvement, it can be said that it was brought back to life.Being able to succeed in Heyuxuan is inseparable from the trust and strong support of Boss Cao.

No matter how good a head chef is at cooking, no matter how capable he is, if the boss doesn’t approve of you, it’s useless, you can’t do anything, it’s equal to zero.

What does success depend on?Most of the answers are based on their own efforts, which is understandable.Through working in He Yuxuan during this period of time, I told myself that success can not only be achieved by my own efforts, but also requires the help and support of others in addition to my own efforts.In He Yuxuan, if there is no second child, no Zhang Jun, no Zhou Ming, no Xiao Zhao, if I am alone, even if I am covered in iron, I will not be able to drive a few nails, and it will be in vain.Without the trust and support of Boss Cao, it would not be possible, and it would not be possible to do it.

I admit that I am very hardworking, dedicated, and smart, but without everyone's help, I can't make the daily sales of 500 yuan.

So success requires your own efforts, as well as the help and support of others.

I admit that I have strong language skills and can communicate well with others, but why can't I do it with Boss Cao's wife?Is it all her fault?
Ask yourself, have you communicated with her seriously?

It seems that there is no such thing. Before communicating with her, I preconceived that she is a person who is difficult to communicate with. I think she is not good, and I have a bad impression in my heart in advance, thinking that she is a person who is difficult to communicate with.In the subsequent communication with her, I carried out the mentality of resistance, and mixed my temper into it, which led to the situation and things that happened in the end - I was laid off, and I was laid off with my brothers.

After being laid off, I was quite confident and confident, and felt that I was a hero.

From the very beginning, I told myself that it was Boss Cao who brought me here, and I would communicate with Boss Cao if I had anything to do, because others couldn’t speak well.It seems that one problem has been overlooked, that is, Boss Cao’s daughter-in-law is someone else’s daughter-in-law, and this restaurant is run by someone else. I gave face to Boss Cao, but I didn’t give face to Boss Cao’s wife. They are a couple, so Boss Cao is also in front of his wife. Can't say.That is to say, there was a conflict between Boss Cao’s wife and I. At that time, Boss Cao’s feelings were not considered at all, which made it difficult for Boss Cao to have a relationship with his wife. From this point of view, I did something wrong.

If you really treat Boss Cao as your big brother and cooperate with him wholeheartedly, you should respect his wife when you respect Boss Cao.Sometimes respecting his wife is more important than respecting him.If you respect Boss Cao's wife and be polite every time you communicate with her, then Boss Cao's wife will tell Boss Cao that she has found a good teacher, and she will never make things difficult for Boss Cao like in the later stage , There is only a choice between me and his wife.

They are husband and wife.

Gradually find the reason for your failure.

I am successful in my work, but I am a failure in communication between people and in basic life.

I gradually found the reason for my discomfort, and felt that I had made a mistake in communicating with Boss Cao's wife.

Working in a restaurant, when I asked to quit, I could say that I didn’t want to do it because I didn’t want to do it. It made sense, but if the boss asked someone to fire me, no matter how good I did it, it would be a failure.

Why did you get laid off after doing a good job?

There is still something wrong.

The part-time workers can say they don’t do it willfully, and the boss can also let you go if he wants to. If you can’t listen to the boss, you will be laid off.

Calm down and summarize, I am still lacking in communication.This time I came down from Heyuxuan, and to put it bluntly, I was laid off due to poor communication. This is my own shortcoming and failure.

Boss Cao has a daughter-in-law in Heyuxuan, and other bosses also have daughter-in-laws or husbands in other places. You can’t just communicate with the boss and not the boss’s wife, that’s not okay.

The boss not only has a wife, but also family members, relatives and friends. These people have to communicate well. Since they can persuade the boss, they must have the ability to persuade the boss’ wife, so that they can work better.

After I figured it out, I felt that this was the biggest gain during my time at He Yuxuan. If I didn’t find my mistakes, I would make the same mistakes in the future, and I would be laid off when I did a good job. I feel pretty good about myself.

Recalling the first time I communicated with Boss Cao’s wife, she asked if the “three delicacies from the ground” could be made without soy sauce, and I directly denied it.He said it very directly, without leaving any room for it. Boss Cao was also there at the time, so he denied it very directly without saving any face. What he did was wrong.Boss Cao’s daughter-in-law doesn’t know how to cook, so she just speaks out her own ideas, and she can say, “I’ve never done that before, try it if you have time, if it’s delicious, it’s still a special feature of our family.”It's good to say that, there's no need to be angry, it's just a matter of one sentence, which not only gave Boss Cao's wife a satisfactory answer, but also gave Boss Cao face, and everyone was satisfied after speaking.It's okay if you don't do it later, maybe everyone forgets about it.

As if I was talking about buying a juicer, Boss Cao asked me directly: "Why buy a juicer?"

I was not angry at all, and patiently told him my thoughts and how to operate it. Boss Cao immediately bought a juicer when he heard that it was the case.If the communication with Boss Cao’s wife is the same, then nothing will happen. Boss Cao’s wife is still very happy, she will recognize and trust me just like Boss Cao, the relationship will be harmonious, and a series of things will not happen in the future .

The reason for the layoff this time is that there was a problem in communication.

He Yuxuan is a small shop, and it will take over a big shop in the future. The big shop has a lot of staff, and the complexity of interpersonal relationships is incomparable to He Yuxuan. It's even worse.If you can do it by yourself, you can be a chef and cook your own dishes well, it doesn't matter if you are laid off or not.But I want to be the head chef to manage the kitchen and lead my brothers to work together. It’s not enough to cook a single dish well, but I have to communicate well and maintain good interpersonal relationships, so that I can work better.Otherwise, the brothers would follow me and not do anything else, and being laid off every three days would not be embarrassing enough.

It seems that I need to strengthen interpersonal communication, which is a science.

In addition to thinking of these, I also think of the dishes of He Yuxuan.Every dish of He Yuxuan has been carefully researched and designed by himself. It is no exaggeration to say that every dish has painstaking efforts in it, just like his own works.

Going through each dish in my head was a little unclear, so I sat down at the table and opened my notebook, took out my pen and started sorting out each dish.These are all my own things, and they are all things that have been approved by the customer and obtained the results after the actual operation, so I need to sort it out and write it down.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. These are already in the mind. If you can’t forget it now, it doesn’t mean you can’t forget it in the future. It’s better to organize it and take notes, and you will find new ways when you reorganize. You will find the previous shortcomings, and you will think of how to improve and how to upgrade the dishes to form better dishes.

For example, when preparing the dish "Steaked Potatoes with Potatoes and Kidney Beans", I thought of my mother stewing potatoes and kidney beans in a pot in summer when I was a child, and then put a circle of cornmeal pancakes on the side of the pot, covered the pot, and put firewood into the stove After a while, the big pancakes will be cooked.Mother lifted the lid of the pot and first shoveled down the big pancakes one by one with a shovel. Sometimes the big pancakes on the side of the pot slipped into the stewed potatoes and kidney beans at the bottom of the pot because the pan was cold. That big pancake was my My favorite food is not only cooked, but also salty, very delicious.When I was young, my family couldn’t afford pork ribs or meat, so it was stewed potatoes with kidney beans. If ribs were added, it would be “steamed kidney beans with ribs and potatoes”.I think that if you turn the big pot at home into a small iron pot that can be served on the table, stew "ribs, potatoes and kidney beans" in it, and then paste a circle of cornmeal pancakes, this dish is guaranteed to be delicious, and the guests like it, you can eat it as a child The taste of home.

Add your own thoughts after the dish "Steaked Potatoes with Potatoes and Kidney Beans", and write down how to make it at the same time, and named this dish "Farm House One Pot". If you have a chance, you must try this dish in the future.

I can think of this dish, and many chefs can think of it, that is, when I made this dish in less than a year, soon other restaurants also served this dish, and it sold very well. Now this dish is almost It has become a necessity for stewing in an iron pot.

Also, when sorting out the "Braised Big Fish Head", I felt that the handling of the fish head was still lacking. It would be better if the fish head was eaten a little bit before frying, and the fish head was still on the table. It is best to use heatable tableware, because the fish head is generally about four catties, and the guests cannot finish eating it immediately after serving, and the effect will not be so good after the fish head cools down. If it is sustainable heating tableware Well, the fish head is still hot at the end of the meal, and the fish head soup soaked in rice is the most delicious.The heating tableware is marked behind the "Braised Big Fish Head", and "Blessings of the Fish Head" is also marked.

Fish head is a big dish and a signature dish. It would be even better if the waiter can say a few words of blessing when serving the dish.

For example, the blessing of Yutou was originally like this: When the family cooks, lift the sedan chair, and the fish head is served on the table. The seven stars shine brightly, wealth comes from all directions, ninety-nine return to one, perfect and perfect, a hundred years of harmony, everything goes well, everything goes well!

When sorting out "Chestnut and Jujube Braised Pork", I found that the jujube in this dish has no effect when placed in the braised pork. On the contrary, the jujube is very leaky when heated, which affects the taste of the dish, so I canceled the jujube and called it " "Chestnut braised pork" is better.

Gradually immersed in the dishes, forgetting the time, as if traveling in another world, full of inspiration.

This is the second time I have completely immersed myself in the dishes.

The first time I was making sea cucumbers, the feeling was very strange, as if something was pulling me, I kept going in and couldn't stop——
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that the last dish was sorted out, and I suddenly came out of that somewhat ethereal artistic conception. I felt that I had awakened a lot and realized a lot.
