The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 590 Chatting with Erdun
Like every time, Lao Tan, Qiao Gang, and Gu Yi got together.Previous gatherings were all about business, but this gathering is about the epidemic and the situation under the epidemic.

In the evening, Lao Tan returned to the courtyard.

It was quiet in the yard before get off work hours, and the sound of cars on the street could be clearly heard.

The house was tidied up by Zhao Min, it was very warm.

Erdun came back a little earlier, brought appetizers, and chatted with Lao Tan while drinking.

"Boss, the girls have made arrangements. I really like that kid. He looks clever. He learns how to be a chef. I want to take him with me," Erdun said.

"Bring it, you don't need to discuss it with me." Old Tan said.

"Such children are the best. They have never followed anyone before, and they are taught what to do."

"That will take two years to investigate."

"Yes, it takes two years to study." Erdun took a sip of wine, "Gu Ge's son is also good, but he has learned from others, and some habits can't be changed. He always wanted to ask me to be his teacher, but I didn't agree.

I just want to find a child who has never done it before, and I can bring it out from the very beginning. "

Old Tan took a sip of his wine and said, "Now you know why I didn't accept you as an apprentice?"

"Ah."

"Apprentices are not accepted casually, and masters are not so easy to be." Lao Tan went on to say: "Teachers, preaching, teaching, and solving doubts. Not only should they teach people the skills to support their families, but also teach them how to be a human being. Dao, don't lead the good boy astray."

"Don't worry boss, you can't."

"I know you can't, you're not that kind of person, and you wouldn't stay here if you were that kind of person."

"I'm mainly influenced by you. Boss, you are an upright person, you are particular about what you do, and you have learned a lot from you." Erdun said sincerely.

"Heh——" Lao Tan laughed at himself, and said: "Gold has no feet, no one is perfect, and I can't do it either. There are so many things to do that I am not satisfied with myself——everything is learned by living too long. old."

"That's not."

"The first thing in our business is to talk about the word "righteousness", and the word "righteousness" is the first, otherwise you will not be able to play." Lao Tan said: "My master always said that a cook is called a cook when the dishes are ready, and a teacher is a teacher when people are ready. Three points Cooking skills are seven points of cooking virtue."

"Yes."

"You are savvy in cooking, which is my favorite. But you are unstable and easy to act emotionally. This is your shortcoming."

"Yes."

"You've made rapid progress. You can feel it yourself. Now it's completely different from when you were in Hohhot. You're much more mature."

"The main thing is that you lead well and give me a chance."

"That's a bit false."

"Hehe." Erdun scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "It's a bit hypocritical, but it's the truth."

At this time, Zhao Min opened the door and came in, holding a plate of freshly cooked dumplings in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Old Tan asked.

"Pork sauerkraut."

Zhao Min put the dumplings on the table, sat down, and filled Lao Tan and Erdun's glasses with wine.

Lao Tan picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth. The dumpling broke in his mouth, and the taste was very good.

After swallowing the dumplings, he said to Zhao Min: "The stuffing of these dumplings is good, it tastes like your master."

Zhao Min said: "The main thing is that sauerkraut is good. It was sent from the provincial capital. It smells good when you open the bag."

"The meat stuffing is also the key. The taste is thorough, the soup is enough, the stuffing is fragrant, and the stuffing is full of water. Now there are not many companies that have stuffing stuffing. This is our specialty, and we must keep it."

"Yeah." Zhao Min nodded, and then said: "My master said in the past that the stir-fried stuffing was three thin and seven fat, and there were a lot of medicinal ingredients. It smelled old and could be smelled from far away."

"Everything keeps pace with the times, and the dumpling stuffing is the same. In the past, when eating dumplings, the more fragrant the better, the more oily they are. Now no one eats like this, and some people eat at most two, and the third is Tired of living.

Now everything is authentic, the celery stuffing must taste like celery, and the sauerkraut stuffing must taste like sauerkraut. "

"Boss, do you know how to stir stuffing in the past?"

"Yes, no, where did our stir-fried stuffing come from?" Lao Tan ate another dumpling, and then said: "I have improved our stir-fried stuffing three times in total. Change; the second time is four fats and six thins, and the ingredients are halved; the third time is three fats and seven thins, only thirteen spices and pepper noodles are added, and the rest are left alone.

The most important thing is that the meat must be good, it must be stupid pork without water.Why are our dumplings delicious?The real deal!This is the key.

Can watered pork be compared with stupid pork?Can't compare.

Stupid pork can be eaten in soup to taste, but watered pork can't.Although the price is expensive, it is worth the money, and many dumpling restaurant owners can't make this turn. "

Erdun said: "Boss, I admire you for this. You never fool around with raw materials, and quality always comes first."

"How dare you be fooled by the fundamentals of survival. Honesty has always won the world, and no one has won by opportunism. Even if the victory is temporary, the tail of the rabbit will not grow."

Old Tan took a sip from his cup, then went on to say: "Running a restaurant is the same as being a human being. People are not good, they are sloppy and trustworthy, and few people who say one thing and do another are willing to pay, and they are all far away." Watching the excitement, wishing to see bad luck.

The same is true for restaurants, who cut corners and sell dog meat, no one wants to go there, they can only kill themselves.

Remember, never think that you are smart and others are stupid, they just see through and don't tell the truth.Once or twice let you go astray, can you still do it the third time?

In turn, you benefit the first time, benefit the second time, and benefit the third time.Every time it is beneficial, the people you make friends with will have plenty of people, those who push and push past, are friends wherever they go, and someone will definitely lift them up when they die.

Affordable people may not be able to do business, but doing business must be affordable.A plate of dumplings earns 11 yuan, and smart people can earn [-] yuan if they work hard, but wise people don’t do this. They only earn [-] yuan and leave one yuan for customers. This is the way of business.

As the saying goes, suffering is a blessing, why is it a blessing?

They come to you to cooperate and earn nine yuan, and you take four yuan and give them five yuan.It seems a bit silly to be at a disadvantage, but in fact it is not stupid at all, it means that you are not greedy, and will look for you next time.

If you give five yuan to others and give them four yuan, they will think in their hearts if they don't say it to their face, and they won't bring you with them when they have a chance next time, why?You are so wicked!
If you take an extra dollar and lose the opportunity to continue to earn four dollars, how much is it?After all, is it as simple as losing and continuing to earn four dollars?

Therefore, it is said that a person must be honest, and a restaurant must be honest. "

"Yes, that's what happened." Erdun nodded.

"You are now the regional chef, managing the kitchens of ten restaurants, and the burden is not light.

Remember, the focus of your attention is the direction of the employee's work.

If the chef's eyes are on the product, the quality of the dishes must be good; if the chef's eyes are on hygiene, then the hygiene must be good; if the chef's eyes are on discipline, then the discipline must be good——
The employees are watching your every word and deed. If you want to do a good job, you have to do a good job of yourself so that no one can find faults.Don't get emotional and get angry at every turn, learn to manage your emotions and focus on the direction forward.

Heh, but you also need to combine work and rest. You should have a rest when you should work. You still have a talent for literature and art, so you have nothing to do to entertain and entertain your employees.Don't learn from me, it's like you have a grudge against your work, and you will continue the revolution with a stern face all day long.
