Chapter 6 Golden Signboard
Zhang Zhen and other hotel personnel who participated in the assessment also stepped forward to check.

The crystal clear potato shreds are not only uniform in thickness, but also roughly the same in length.

"That's great. The skill of cutting potatoes is great." Zhang Zhen glanced at Xia Ming with admiration.

Chef Lao Fang announced the second assessment, and looked at Nian Xiaming solemnly: "As chefs, the highest recognition for us is the customer's recognition of the taste of the dishes. There are all kinds of common ingredients in the kitchen, you do it first Six specialty dishes."

Xia Ming nodded. In a restaurant-based hotel like Xingfulou Hotel, the quality of the dishes is the most important thing, surpassing everything else.

"Then I will cook six famous Lin'an dishes. West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dongpo Pork, Longjing Shrimp, Hangzhou Sauce Duck, West Lake Brasenia Soup, and Sweet and Sour Pork."

Everyone who participated in the evaluation was looking forward to it. After seeing Xia Ming's knife skills, they also had expectations for the dishes he made.

What Xia Ming cooked first was "West Lake Vinegar Fish". He had studied these dishes in depth last night, and the various steps had been memorized in his heart.

West Lake Vinegar Fish is a famous dish in Lin'an. Whether it is delicious or not depends on the fish fillet, sauce, and cooking.

Xia Ming took out a grass carp, and the kitchen knife in his hand was not at all jerky, it was as fast as lightning, moving like a gust of wind, and he cut the grass carp up very skillfully.

"You are so proficient in knife skills, and the skill of sliced ​​fish is not inferior to mine."

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

As the chef hired by the hotel with a lot of money, Lao Fang could tell Xia Ming's depth at a glance.

Next, it is the process of steaming the fish, boiling the juice, seasoning, and collecting the juice.

Xia Ming was serious throughout the whole process, without any sense of jerk, and easily finished the first dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish.In the process of making fish, as before, some mysterious factors are incorporated.

"Please taste it." Xia Ming brought the West Lake Vinegar Fish to the table beside him.

Zhang Zhen, manager of the personnel department, took the lead in tasting.After tasting it, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up, giving a high evaluation.

"Tender and juicy, smooth but not greasy, slightly sour in the mouth and refreshing, the fish is fresh and plump. It can be called the best West Lake vinegar fish I have ever eaten. I give it a 5-star praise."

Other reviewers in the hotel, including chef Lao Fang and several other chefs, also tasted it one after another, and they were full of praise.

"Yes, that's the taste. It's so delicious. It's even more delicious than the time-honored brand in Lin'an City that has West Lake Vinegar Fish as its signature. It must be 5 stars!"

"If this West Lake Vinegar Fish can keep its taste, it will be enough to become our hotel's signature dish."

After trying the West Lake Vinegar Fish, Zhang Zhen and others had already made up their minds that they must keep Xia Ming, even if they paid a higher salary.

"Xia Ming, the taste of West Lake Vinegar Fish is so delicious, I am looking forward to the next five dishes even more."

The corners of Zhang Zhen's mouth were still full of meaning, and he cast a look of anticipation.

Xia Ming was unsmiling, he didn't say much, and his hands were extremely fast, and the dishes were served one after another for them to taste.

After trying all six dishes, everyone present looked at Xia Ming differently.

That is the gaze that is like a treasure.

There are six dishes, each of which is complete in color, aroma, and taste, which makes them open up their tastes and satiate their appetites.

Only the head chef, Lao Fang, has a sense of crisis. Xia Ming's performance is too outstanding, and his position as head chef will be greatly challenged.

Zhang Zhen looked at Xia Ming with a smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice, "Xia Ming, you passed the assessment this time. Come with me, let's talk about salary in the reception room."

……

In the reception room, Xia Ming looked at the new contract in front of him.

The contract was a condition given by Zhang Zhen, the manager of the human resources department, Lu Lanlan, the financial manager, and Wen Daoxuan, the manager of the catering department, after discussing together.

"The monthly base salary is 12000, and the monthly performance is determined according to the monthly revenue of the hotel. Food and accommodation are included, five days off and one day off! Other benefits, five insurances and one housing fund are all available, and the trial period is one month."

After Xia Ming looked at it, he nodded in satisfaction, it was much better than he expected.

As for the free food and housing, it has already been explained in the recruitment conditions, and it depends on personal choice.

Xia Ming swished and signed his name.

Seeing Xia Ming's signature, Zhang Zhen, Lu Lanlan, and Wen Daoxuan all looked relieved.

After tasting Xia Ming's culinary skills, it would be a huge loss if they didn't dig it out, and they could take the blame and resign.

"Xia Ming, work hard and strive to become the golden signboard of Xingfulou Hotel as soon as possible." Zhang Zhen patted Xia Ming on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement.

"Okay, Manager Zhang, I will work hard." Xia Ming responded with a smile.

This is his first job. Although he is just a chef, the salary is not low.

At least, in Lin'an City, they are already upper-middle income.

That night, Xia Ming simply cleaned up and settled in the hotel.

The Xingfu Building Hotel has a dedicated staff dormitory, all of which are small single rooms. Although simple, they are well-equipped.

"Mom, I've found a job."

At night, Xia Ming told his parents the good news.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xinci, who was washing dishes and vegetables in the restaurant, put down a stone in her heart and felt sincerely happy.

"Little Treasure, what kind of work do you do there, you must pay attention to your health, and don't argue with others..."

Listening to his mother's dun dun teaching, Xia Ming didn't have any impatience.

This is his relative, and the most important woman in his life!
the next morning,

Xia Ming got up early and ran three laps along the Xingfulou Hotel to familiarize himself with the hotel environment while exercising.

Xia Ming didn't use up the 3 points of bioenergy he saved yesterday.

He plans to continue to accumulate and improve his culinary skills again.

The entry-level culinary skills have already made Xingfulou Hotel full of praise.

If he is promoted again, he may become the roost among the chefs in Lin'an City, and his income will naturally increase, and he can realize wealth freedom early.

"Starting today, be a diligent cook."

Xia Ming was in a good mood and walked into the kitchen confidently.

Xingfulou Hotel is a [-]-storey building with guest rooms on the top and restaurant on the bottom.

In the kitchen on the second floor, the old chef introduced Xia Ming to the other chefs solemnly.

"Our chef team has a new young chef. His level is very high. He cooks West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, Longjing shrimp, Hangzhou sauce duck, West Lake water shield soup, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, etc. Called Lin'an a unique..."

There was sparse applause in the kitchen.

Some of the chefs even had a hint of hostility hidden in their eyes.

After all, peers are enemies.

……

At noon, the hotel opened for business, and some customers had already ordered food one after another.

Chef Lao Fang looked at Xia Ming and said with a smile: "Come on, West Lake vinegar fish, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, steamed drunken crab, Kung Pao chicken... everyone will share.

Xiaoye, you cook the steamed drunken crab.

Kung Pao Chicken, Lao Huang, you are better at it, so I will leave it to you.

West Lake vinegar fish, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Xia Ming, since you just came here, it's up to you to show off. "

Hotel kitchens generally have a clear division of labor, each with its own specialty dishes, and then assigned by the chef.

Xia Ming also prepared quickly, and the speed of serving dishes surprised all the chefs present.

……

The next day, Wen Daoxuan, the manager of the catering department, came to find Xia Hao.

"Xia Ming, you did a good job. The dishes you served yesterday were all highly praised by the guests. Keep working hard, we are all optimistic that you will become the golden brand of the hotel."

"Thank you, Manager Wen, I will work hard." Xia Ming replied with a smile.

As for becoming the signboard of the Xingfulou Hotel, let's talk about it later, how could he keep working for others.

"How much older am I than you? Call me Brother Wen from now on. From your accent, your hometown is Huizhou?" Wen Daoxuan laughed, intending to draw in the relationship.

"Brother Wen, my hometown is Qiao County, Huizhou." Xia Ming replied.

"Huizhou has outstanding people, and there are quite a lot of Huizhou people in Lin'an City. If you have any difficulties in life in the future, you can come to me."

"Understood, Brother Wen!" Xia Ming knew that this was the other party showing kindness.

……

Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Because of Xia Ming's joining, the Xingfulou Hotel gained a great reputation in the food circle of Lin'an City.

At noon and evening, there is an endless stream of customers, and sometimes you need to book a few days in advance to get a seat.

And the reason for all of this was Xia Ming's existence.

In the kitchen, the other chefs were also impressed by Xia Ming's cooking skills.

Even the few chefs who were hostile to Xia Hao at the beginning put aside their prejudices and secretly studied.

Xia Ming knows all the dishes after reading them once, and he can make them even more delicious.

"A super talented chef!"

This is a high praise from Chef Lao Fang.

In the room, Xia Ming was looking forward to holding the data panel.

"In the past 17 days, the accumulated bioenergy has reached 51 points.

You can try to see if you can improve your cooking skills. "

 For new books, I want to collect them, I want to read them after reading, and I want everything.
