I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 279 Boss Xiao Jiang, Still Too Young
"The Seventh Canteen is looking for a chef, have you submitted your resume yet?"

"Vote! I ate the food made by Boss Xiaojiang once. It's absolutely delicious. Even if you can't learn anything, it's worth it if you can eat his food every day!"

"I'm just an intermediate chef, alas, I don't have the face to vote, I guess there are a lot of senior chefs who submit their resumes!"

"Sorry, this is a Chinese cooking technician!"

"Whether it's successful or not, I have to give it a try, anyway, I've handed in my resignation report!"

"Tsk tsk! Just resigned? You're breaking the boat, you're going to be successful if you don't succeed!"

"..."

After the "Jiang Daqi Canteen Recruitment Advertisement" was released on the Internet, under the double influence of the reputation of Jiang Daqi Canteen and Boss Xiaojiang's superb cooking skills, the news quickly spread to all major restaurants and restaurants. Attracted the attention of many chefs.

Like Xiong Zhengtao, young chefs who don't care about salary and treatment, but are only looking for personal technical development, are all ready to move, wanting to take the opportunity to jump to Seven Canteens and seek advice from Boss Xiaojiang.

Although most of them have missed the opportunity to taste the food of the Seventh Canteen, they are not stupid. The hype may be one of the reasons why the Seventh Canteen has such a great reputation, but the most important thing is that the food in the Seventh Canteen is indeed very good. tasty.

Because they all understand a truth: the cowhide that blows out will always be punctured.

If the food in the Seventh Canteen is mediocre and not as good as the taste of small restaurants on the street, then what they have now is by no means a good reputation, but a bad reputation and a bad reputation.

It is precisely because of this that they are convinced that Boss Xiao Jiang's cooking skills are indeed unique, and this is exactly what they want to learn.

Of course, in addition to these young chefs who are self-motivated and pursuing culinary advancement, there are also a small number of chefs whose purpose is even simpler.

They are neither looking for high salaries, high treatment, nor demanding to learn much cooking skills. The main purpose of their application to become the chefs of the Seven Canteens is to hope to eat the meals cooked by Boss Xiaojiang every day.

Most of the chefs in this group have come to the Seventh Canteen in person and tasted the food cooked by Boss Xiaojiang. The delicious taste of the world still makes them yearn and never forget.

It's a pity that the boxes in the Seventh Canteen are really hard to get. Even if they mobilize the whole family to rush to book together, they may not be able to book a few times a year.

Now, the Seventh Canteen is recruiting chefs, and it happens that he has this cooking skill. Although he is not as good as Boss Xiaojiang, Boss Xiaojiang will not require the chefs he recruits to have the same cooking skills as him.

That being the case, it is natural to try. Although I know that the competition will definitely be fierce, what if it succeeds?

As long as they think that they have the opportunity to eat the meals cooked by Boss Xiaojiang every day, these people will be very excited.

There is a saying: the chef is the soul of a restaurant, and having a good chef is the key to the success of a restaurant.

The reason is very simple, customers come to the restaurant to "eat", so no matter how good the other hardware facilities of the restaurant are, if there is no good chef who can cook the dishes that customers like, then no matter what, it is difficult for customers to like this restaurant. Dining room.

Therefore, for restaurant owners, the chef is the most valuable asset, and the stability of the chef can ensure the stability of the restaurant's taste.

Because the "recruitment of chefs in Jiang Daqi Canteen" caused the chefs in restaurants and restaurants to fluctuate, which made countless bosses tremble with fear and headaches.

Although in the catering circle, chefs change jobs very frequently, but it is also regular.

The bosses are not worried about the regular job-hopping of chefs, because they have already had countermeasures.

But for such a sudden change, they were uncomfortable.

First of all, there is no chef reserve, and there is no way to recruit new people to replace them in time; second, the chef's job-hopping also affects the change of new dishes in the restaurant, and even causes changes in taste.

This is very troublesome.

"What is this Jiang Daqi canteen? It's too disgusting. It's just hiring a chef. Why are you making such a big fuss?"

"That is to say! Even if our restaurants and restaurants are recruiting chefs, we can at most put up a sign to go out to recruit people locally. It is good, and it directly posted the recruitment notice on the Internet, which made a few young people in our restaurant eager to move. .”

"It's a university cafeteria. I really don't know why there are so many halls. It's breaking the rules!"

"Boss Xiaojiang is still too young. Young people like to show off. Sooner or later he will suffer!"

"..."

A group of bosses sighed, full of resentment towards Jiang Yu and Qicanteen.

Isn’t that right, if you want to recruit chefs, you can just recruit a few local chefs, why bother posting recruitment notices on the Internet so that a large group of chefs have different ideas and are ready to move, isn’t this causing trouble!
Jiang Yu naturally didn't know about the complaints from the bosses, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

To be honest, if these bosses can meet the various needs of those chefs, who would be willing to change jobs?

Since everyone is planning to change jobs, it is obvious that the bosses are not doing well enough!
How could Jiang Yu be blamed for this?
It is inexplicable!
In the kitchen of dining room No. [-], Jiang Yu took a rest after cooking the meals in the four boxes, and turned to Du Guangning and said:
"Xiao Du, from today onwards, you will be in charge of the staff meals on the second floor. You have learned it for a long time. Let us have a taste. How about your meals?"

"Huh? Boss, do you really want me to do it?"

The test came so suddenly that Du Guangning didn't react immediately.

In fact, because of Jiang Yu's condiments and sauces, the taste of the cold dishes he is cooking now is very close to Jiang Yu's own cold dishes to a certain extent.

But when it comes to hot dishes, although he has been learning from them, he seldom cooks them himself, let alone serve them in the box.

However, because he needs to provide the three anorexic patients with a daily diet, he cooks a few simple and light dishes every day, and the three anorexic patients can eat them with gusto.

After a period of time, their physical condition has improved a lot.

"Is this still fake?"

Jiang Yu pulled a chair and sat down, glanced at him and said,
"Hurry up, everyone is still hungry, it's up to you what to eat for lunch."

"Oh, good."

After a short period of panic, Du Guangning calmed down immediately, and quickly went through the dishes he was best at in his mind, then quickly selected the right ingredients, and then, together with Pei Guofu and others, washed vegetables, chop vegetables.

After everything was ready, Du Guangning brought over a clean frying pan, took a deep breath, heated up the oil, and skillfully started frying vegetables.

It has to be said that Du Guangning is still very skilled. He deserves to be a ruthless character who can fight against the head chef of the restaurant kitchen. Whether it is controlling the heat of the ingredients or feeding the ingredients, he can grasp the timing very well.

In less than an hour, he prepared eight dishes and one soup.

Stir-fried pork with chili, chicken offal with pickled pepper, braised river fish in brown sauce, fried minced pork with garlic sprouts, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried ham with white jade mushrooms, fried tofu, minced garlic spinach, plus a hot and sour soup.

These steaming hot dishes with attractive colors filled the operating table, and the air was filled with the aroma of vegetables.

"Xiao Du, these dishes look delicious. Since you came to No. [-] dining room, your cooking skills have improved a lot!"

"Yes, yes! Brother Du, I smell the aroma of this dish, and my saliva is almost drooling!"

"Brother Du learned his skills from the boss, how could the dishes be poor?"

"..."

Pei Guofu and two apprentices stood aside, looking at the table full of delicious dishes, they couldn't help but praise them one after another.

After hearing this, Du Guangning was not very excited. He glanced at Jiang Yu nervously, rubbed his hands together and asked:

"Boss, how about you try it first?"

"Don't worry, let's try it together later."

Jiang Yu said something to him with a smile, then turned his head to look at the two apprentices, and ordered,
"Xiao Ma, you go and ask Xiaoyan and the others to come back for dinner. We can talk about the unfinished business when we are full."

"Oh oh oh."

As soon as the two apprentices heard this, they ran out to call for someone.

Not long after, Yan Tongtong and the others came back, looking at the dishes on the table, all of them were overjoyed, and ran to the sink to wash their hands, filled the bowl with rice, and sat down at the console to start eating .

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to serve the rice, so he took a pair of chopsticks, first put a chopstick of stir-fried pork with chili into his mouth and tasted it, and then picked up another chopstick of pickled pepper and chicken offal.

Du Guangning stood on the side, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yu's movements, his face was very nervous.

When other people tasted dishes, they usually tasted one dish and commented once, but Jiang Yu had eaten several dishes and still didn't say a word.

This, this, does this mean that the boss is not satisfied with the dishes he cooks?
At this moment, his heart was in a mess, and he felt more nervous than being called to the office by the teacher to talk when he made a mistake while studying.

I don't know how long it took, but in Du Guangning's opinion, it seemed like several hours had passed. Jiang Yu finally tasted the last dish and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

He chewed a few times, swallowed the food in his mouth, then turned his head to look at Du Guangning, with a smile on his face, and said to him:

"It's not bad. It's just that the fried pork with chili has been cooked for a while. The meat is a bit old and not tender enough. The sliced ​​meat is thin or thick. The time for frying the meat is different. You need to master the degree yourself. up.

Also, the braised river fish has a slightly bitter taste. This is the problem of handling the ingredients. Be more careful next time.

It's not a big problem, but cooking is a delicate job, and the difference is a thousand miles away, so you have to use more dim sum. "

"Yes, boss, I remember."

Although Jiang Yu didn't say much, Du Guangning was sweating while standing there, and he was quite annoyed.

After all, I still blame myself for being anxious. These small problems should not have appeared in the first place.

"Okay, you should hurry up and eat."

Seeing that he was still standing there, Jiang Yu waved to him and said with a smile,

"It's not a big problem. The dishes you cook now are much better than when you first came here."

"Ah! Did Big Brother Du cook this dish? I just found out now!"

Yan Tongtong had already sat down to eat. After hearing what Jiang Yu said, she looked at Du Guangning in surprise and said,
"I thought Brother Jiang made it, it's so delicious!"

"Yeah, it's really delicious! This chicken offal with pickled peppers is sour, spicy, and chewy. It's really delicious!"

"Stir-fried minced pork with garlic sprouts is also very good for rice. It's spicy and fragrant. I feel like I'm going to eat too much at noon!"

"This braised river fish is so fresh, but it has too many spines!"

"..."

The waitresses were also surprised, chatting while eating.

Du Guangning sat on the side, eating on his own, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was not the one everyone was talking about, and he didn't say a word.

Jiang Yu, who was sitting on the side, caught a glimpse inadvertently. Du Guangning's heart was not at peace. His legs under the console were still trembling slightly.

After the meal, Lu Shuwu was much more active than before, rushing to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen, while Yan Tongtong and other waiters were busy going back to tidy up the boxes. The guests in the four boxes had already had enough to eat and drink. Satisfied and left, leaving only a mess of cups and plates on the table.

As usual, Jiang Yu, who was full, wandered downstairs again, ready to make a cup of tea, and then went to the box on the first floor to play a few games of chess.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the cafeteria hall on the first floor was empty, only a few students were left, sitting far away from each other on the seats in the dining area, or seriously flipping through books, or taking Start writing and drawing on draft paper.

The final exams in the first half of the year are not far away, and the students are obviously starting to get nervous. Those who are idle, skipping classes and slacking off on weekdays also have to cheer up, pick up their books and start reviewing seriously.

Jiang Yu walked by without disturbing them, and went straight to the kitchen on the first floor to make a cup of tea for himself, and took the cup to the private room.

He just sat down on the sofa and put the teacup on the coffee table. Before he could take out his mobile phone from his pocket, the door of the box was knocked loudly from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Xiaoling's small head squeezed in through the crack of the door. Her big bright eyes rolled around in a "bone-like" circle, and soon focused on Jiang Yu's body, with a look on her face. He smiled and asked:
"Boss, I've printed out the resumes of all the chef applicants. There are more than 100 copies. Would you like to have a look first?"

"Just printed it out?"

When Jiang Yu heard this, he immediately became interested. Whether he can recruit a qualified chef is a very important thing for Seven Canteens.

A good chef can not only reduce his work pressure, but also add new flavors to Qicanteen.

He waved to Hua Xiaoling and said with a smile,

"Then you bring all the resumes here, let me see who submitted the resumes first.

In addition, you go and help me call Xiao Wu over, thank you for your hard work. "

"Here, take it, it's all here."

Hua Xiaoling pushed open the door, walked into the private room with a large stack of resumes, put them all on the coffee table in front of Jiang Yu, and muttered,

"Boss, you are too unkind. You don't call others when you cook delicious food. When you have work to do, you think of others."

Jiang Yu raised his head to look at her in surprise, and asked, "I didn't call you for something delicious?"

Hua Xiaoling said eloquently: "What kind of cold shrimp is that? I've heard them say that it's delicious!"

"That's a snack, and the taste is just like that..."

As Jiang Yu was talking, seeing Hua Xiaoling's resentful expression, he had no choice but to say again,

"Okay, I was negligent. Next time I cook something delicious, I will definitely leave a copy for you. Is that okay?"

"That's what you said yourself!"

When Hua Xiaoling heard it, she suddenly became happy again, and she said with a smile,
"Manly man, spit a nail, don't fool me!"

"I'm not bluffing you, I'm not bluffing you."

Jiang Yu nodded repeatedly, and then said to her, "Hurry up and call Xiao Wu over for me, I'll take a look at my resume first."

"okay."

Seeing that Jiang Yu was about to go to business, Hua Xiaoling didn't bother him, so she quickly turned around and left the box to find Lu Shuwu.

After Hua Xiaoling left, Jiang Yu didn't plan to play chess anymore. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then reached out to pick up the top resume and read it.

Ma Tianhua, male, 26 years old, graduated from Zhongyuan Vocational and Technical College majoring in culinary arts and business, a senior chef, good at making Henan cuisine, Shandong cuisine and Anhui cuisine. Spicy fish soup, etc.

From September 2014 to December 9, worked as a Chinese chef in Zhongyuan Dingzhen Restaurant.

Since 2017, he has been working as the chef in charge at Anqing Qianwei Hongfu Restaurant.

Jiang Yuzai read the resume carefully from beginning to end, and was quite surprised. This is a chef with a professional background, which is much more formal than himself and Lu Shuwu and others.

Moreover, it is also remarkable to obtain a senior chef certificate at such a young age.

You must know that to obtain a senior chef certificate, you must be at least 25 years old, and graduates of colleges or above who have obtained the intermediate vocational qualification certificate of this profession must continue to work in this profession for more than 2 years.

Now that there is no age limit, I am afraid that he can directly obtain a professional qualification certificate for technicians.

Of course, this refers to obtaining a chef certificate, which does not mean actual operational ability. Cooking skills are equivalent to martial arts, and the level is not the key. Strong actual combat ability is king.

Just like Jiang Yu and Lu Shuwu, neither of them has passed the chef certificate. Even if they do, due to age and working years restrictions, Lu Shuwu can probably still pass the entry-level vocational qualification certificate, but Jiang Yu is not even qualified for the entry-level certificate. Test.

Because the primary vocational qualification certificate also needs to work in the profession for more than 2 years to be eligible for the exam. Jiang Yu has been in this industry for less than a year.

Although he doesn't have a professional qualification certificate, Jiang Yu's culinary skills are recognized as strong, which no one can deny.

This chef named Ma Tianhua, just looking at his resume, can tell that he is quite an outstanding person. As long as he develops step by step, he will have absolutely no problem becoming the head chef of a restaurant or restaurant in the future.

How could a person like this be willing to come out of a restaurant and work as a chef in a student cafeteria of Jiang University?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Everyone has their own thoughts, and it is normal for him not to understand his thoughts because he is not familiar with him.

He put Ma Tianhua's resume aside, it was pending.

The resume can only understand the basic situation, but it can't tell the real cooking skills of a person. What Jiang Yu has to do now is to screen out the qualified people through the resume first, and then gather the people in the seven canteens for cooking. Unified assessment.

In the past, the Seventh Canteen recruited people very casually. That was because the Seventh Canteen was in its initial stage and was in short supply of manpower.

But it's different now. The Seven Canteens are famous now, and there is not a shortage of manpower. Since they want to recruit a few chefs with good skills, they naturally have to choose carefully.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yu was also very lucky.

Although the group of people he recruited at the beginning were not very skilled at the beginning, at least they had good personalities, and everyone got along very well.

On the contrary, this is what Jiang Yu values ​​most. What he dislikes the most is the kind of gang formation and intrigue, which will not only destroy the harmonious working atmosphere, but also easily cause bad things.

What's more, now everyone's technology is improving rapidly, and everyone is very motivated to work.

This really made Jiang Yu feel lucky, the god was too kind to him.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yu reached out to pick up another resume, and before he could see the name on it, the door of the box was knocked loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and Lu Shuwu poked his head in from the outside, and asked seriously:

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Well, Xiao Wu is here, come in and sit down."

Jiang Yu turned to look at him, waved to him, and said with a smile,

"Just now Hua Xiaoling printed out all the resumes of chef applicants sent over these days, here they are all here, let's take a look first and make a rough selection first.

You are now in charge of managing the entire back kitchen in the canteen on the first floor, and you should know better than me what kind of chef this kitchen needs. "

"The boss is too modest. I'm just taking care of it. You can't take the helm in this general direction. What can I do?"

Lu Shuwu raised his hand and scratched his head, and couldn't help but smile "hehe".

Even though he said that, he still walked in, closed the box door by the way, then walked to the sofa opposite Jiang Yu and sat down.

At this time, he seemed to have just seen the thick pile of resumes on the coffee table, and said in surprise,
"With so many resumes, there must be at least 100, right?
I remember that our recruitment notice was posted on the Douyin account of 'Jiang Daqi Canteen', it took just over a week, right?

Tsk tsk, the influence of our canteen is bigger than expected! "

"What influence what influence?"

Jiang Yu looked up at him, shook his head with a smile and said,

"We open a student cafeteria in Jiangda University. Everything else is empty. Pursuing the satisfaction of the students is the ultimate goal of our cafeteria."
