The story of a cook

Chapter 366 Preparations before Xiaoqian
Master scratched his arm very badly and had to sew several stitches.

This was what Zhang Li and Li Shuang told me when they came over that night. I asked how it was done?Zhang Li said that she didn't see it either. She heard that it was scratched in the kitchen on the third floor. It seemed that a tile fell and scratched her arm when she went to the stove to cook.

I didn't call Master at night, thinking that I have to go to work tomorrow.I can rest assured that my master is in the kitchen when I perform surgery. Now that my master is injured, I have to go to work. Otherwise, Wang Chunlai can't manage the kitchen by himself, and he can't control those boys.

My master and I are really two masters and apprentices. We have an accident together, and the master was injured during the apprentice operation. There is no reason for this.

The next day, I went to the hospital to change the medicine, and then went directly to the hotel.

There is nothing wrong with the kitchen. There are not many customers now, and everyone is preparing ingredients for the Spring Festival.Now all the meat is prepared, the meat has to be prepared in advance, and it will be out of stock if it is late.Not our family is open during the Spring Festival. Most restaurants are open during the Spring Festival, so we have to prepare in advance.Especially pork knuckles, trotters, beef tendon, beef brisket, lamb chops and lamb legs, all of which have to be stocked in advance.The supplier didn't have those goods all of a sudden, so he had to prepare them for us in advance. For example, pork knuckles are usually available at any time. During the Spring Festival, there are not so many. He has to save up to [-].

Seeing me limping back and forth in the kitchen, everyone took good care of me. They didn't ask me to do any work, and they were very cooperative in their work.

Another six days will be Xiaonian. Xiaonian is the busiest day of the dumpling restaurant. Now the front desk is fully booked for Xiaonian's day, and there are many scattered tables.

I came to the order room on the first floor.

Li Dashan saw me coming and said to me: "I haven't been at home for a few more days."

"Minor surgery, nothing to do, come and have a look." I said.

"You are really dedicated."

"I can't talk about professionalism, I just do what I want to do." I said, and then asked: "Is it time to prepare dumplings in these two days?"

Li Dashan said: "It's time to prepare. We won't leave the scene at noon today, and everyone will start preparing dumplings."

"How much can I prepare in a day?" I asked.

"Two hundred copies."

"Two hundred copies?" I calculated and said, "It's enough to prepare [-] copies in six days."

"I prepare [-] copies every year. This year may be busy. I prepare [-] copies, which should be enough." Li Dashan said.

"That's enough. Didn't we make the dumplings that day? Enough, the guests can't eat all the dumplings."

"That is."

Everyone in the dumpling room was busy working. When they saw me coming in, they greeted me and nodded meaningfully.The dumpling room is full of women, and entering the dumpling room is like entering the country of daughters.

Zhao Chunjiao asked me: "Chef Tan, why don't you stay at home for two more days?"

"It's nothing, it's hard to stay at home, why don't you come and have a look." I said.

"We've been preparing dumplings since today," she said.

"Okay, you've worked hard." I said.

"Just a word of hard work? No reward?"

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"No matter what, you have to treat us to a meal."

"no problem."

Seeing that I agreed so quickly, she said to the sisters in the dumpling shop: "Everyone is listening, the chef said he would treat us to a meal."

"it is good!"

"Thank you Chef!"

"When will you please?"

"Yes, when will you invite me? Don't talk about getting it."

I said, "It's up to you, you can ask me anytime."

Zhao Chunjiao looked at me and said, "You can invite me whenever you like, and I can't ask you to invite me now."

I said: "That's fine, let's make a decision. When you have finished preparing [-] dumplings, I will invite you."

"That's what you said, don't deny it then." Zhao Chunjiao said.

"Must." I said.

"Well, we can finish the preparation in four days if we work hard." He said happily.

"I'll have my stitches removed in four days, and then we'll get together," I said.

Coming out of the dumpling room, he and Li Dashan came to the steaming and cooking operation room.There are a total of four people steaming and frying, two for cooking dumplings, one for steaming dumplings, and one for frying dumplings.

Li Dashan said: "Every year, the fried dumplings can't be fried."

"The new year is busy, and there are many people eating dumplings. On that day, we can stop selling fried dumplings." I said.

"You have to discuss this with the leaders. Every year I say that fried dumplings should be stopped on Xiaonian Day, but the leaders disagree," he said.

"Really?" I said, "This year, as long as the table is reserved in advance and ordered fried dumplings, we will make it. If there is no table reserved in advance, we will not make fried dumplings. The sale of fried dumplings will be stopped all day on Xiaonian. "

"If that's the case, the dumplings won't be delayed," he said.

"That's it. I'll tell the front desk that we will stop selling fried dumplings on Xiaonian's day."

"Will the leaders not say anything about us?" He was a little worried.

"It's okay, just do what I say, and when the leaders come, just say what I say, and ask them to find me." I said.

After arranging the pastry, I was about to go to the second floor. At this time, the eldest sister who steamed the dumplings came to me and said that she wanted to talk to me about something.I have an impression of the steamed dumpling sister, because the steamed dumplings are served at the noodle stand and face the customers directly. The eldest sister I chose is a laid-off female worker in the city. She has a good image, looks clean and stands at attention, giving people a very hygienic feeling.In addition, the eldest sister is not bad, and she is also very attractive to customers.

I asked, "What's the matter, ma'am?"

She looked a little embarrassed, and blushed before she spoke.

"Chef Tan, doesn't our family stipulate that there is no rest during the Spring Festival? My house is near our shop, and I don't have to rest. My partner is a soldier. I came back to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year this year. I haven't been back for two years. I will book at our house on the [-]th night. I want to have a drink with my family and have a meal with my family when I am not busy, and I will not leave the restaurant, and I will come over to steam dumplings when I am busy." She said.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with that. You should have dinner with your family. If you have steamed dumplings, save someone else to do it for you." I said.

"I thought so too. I told Li Dashan, and he said no, it's all a radish to fix a hole, but I'm busy, and no one can replace me." The eldest sister said.

I laughed, knowing that Li Dashan was retaliating at this time.The gossip said that Li Dashan took a fancy to the elder sister's appearance and wanted to develop a close relationship with her, but the elder sister was not that kind of person, so she rejected Li Dashan.Li Dashan is using the power in his hands to avenge his personal revenge.

Said to the eldest sister: "It's okay, you can find me when the time comes, I will arrange for you, it is not easy for your husband to come back once, and spend a good New Year with your family." Seeing that she was still very worried, she continued: "Don't worry, this I will solve the matter for you, and I will give you a [-]% discount when the time comes."

"Thank you, Chef Tan, for the discount," said the elder sister.

"The employees of this store must have a discount when dining in restaurants." I said.

I wanted to go to the kitchen on the second floor, but I had to communicate with Zhang Li in advance about fried dumplings, so I went to the front desk.Seeing me limping, Zhang Li said with a smile, "You're a minor injury and you can't get out of the line of fire."

"It's okay." I said.

"Can it work? Does it hurt?" she asked.

"It doesn't hurt so much anymore, it doesn't hurt so much if you don't always walk." I said.

"Then you have to be careful, don't stretch."

"Yes, you can't stretch it."

"What's up with you master and apprentice, a pair of disabled people." She laughed.

"Who knows, it might be Linjiang Xuanfang, our master and apprentice." I said.

"If there is nothing wrong with the kitchen, you can go back to your room and lie down, and no one will say anything about you," she said.

"Well, I'll go up later." I said, "Let me communicate with you, our family will stop selling fried dumplings on Xiaonian."

"Fried dumplings stopped selling?" She was taken aback, and said, "Our fried dumplings are pretty good. If there are a lot of customers, we will order fried dumplings."

"Isn't it slow to fry dumplings? If they can't be fried on the day of Xiaonian, the customers will not be satisfied if they don't go up." I said: "We will stop selling that day, and we will continue to sell dumplings after Xiaonian. The main reason is to ensure that the dumplings can go up quickly. .”

"What about the table reservations in advance?" she asked.

"I will make the order in advance, and I will not make the order on the same day. Let me know in advance, and don't order it at that time and have to return it." I said.

She asked, "does Mr. Huo know about this? He agreed? "

I said, "Don't even think about it. If he knows, can he agree? At this point, we will make a deal. If he gets angry at that time, tell him to come to me and tell me what I said."

"As soon as I thought about it, you didn't tell Mr. Huo."

"I definitely disagree with him if I tell him. You don't need to tell him. It will save you trouble." I said, "Explain to the customer on the day of Xiaonian, and we will stop selling fried dumplings for a day. Customers can understand that we can buy a few more A serving of dumplings is better than anything else, everyone came to eat dumplings that day, if we can put the dumplings up and ask the guests to eat them, we will win."

"Okay, I agree, I will do my best to cooperate."

"The critical moment is still iron."

"Now I know it's Tie Zi, we two will take care of Tie Zi's business tonight." She looked at me with a smile.

"Okay, drink a catty of white wine today."

"roll!"

Just as I was about to leave, I remembered the matter of Sister Steamed Dumplings and asked her, "Did Sister Steamed Dumplings book a table at [-]?"

"Well, I booked a table for 12 people, in the Chunxiang private room." She replied.

"Thinking about giving me a [-]% discount." I said.

"How can I have that power, my greatest power is [-]% off."

"Just add my [-]% off."

"That's not OK."

"Just call like this. If something happens, come to me. I'll talk to Mr. Huo."

Thinking about it, she really doesn't have the right to give [-]% off. At this time, I can only talk to Mr. Huo. I think Mr. Huo can give me this face. I have the right to give [-]% off, but it has been useless.
