Go to a windy place and wait for the wind to come

Chapter 73 Xu Hongdou's Blame

Take a taxi to the ancient town early in the morning.

Arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time, just got off the car, Sun Xiaowei and Shi Tiandong had already walked out side by side, and after a few more pleasantries, they entered the restaurant.

Zhang Wentao nodded politely after looking at the two retained chefs and other waiters who were already standing in the restaurant waiting for him.

After making some introductions, Sun Xiaowei asked the others to prepare for today's work.

Sitting on a chair in the restaurant and taking out his notebook, Zhang Wentao was in a daze. After all, he had been away from the kitchen for almost a year, and suddenly returned to his familiar position. Even though he was fully prepared, he still needed to get used to it.

Shi Tiandong also noticed the fleeting stupor, and said to Zhang Wentao with some concern: "Brother Zhang, I heard from Xiaowei that you are going back to France soon, right? Is there some unexpected situation that needs to be rushed as soon as possible?" Go back and deal with it? If there is indeed a problem with the itinerary, I can stick to it for a while longer."

Zhang Wentao smiled and said, "Well, it's something, but there's still time." Then, he took out his notebook from his computer bag, opened it and found the menu file he made yesterday.

Sun Xiaowei and Shi Tiandong also leaned together in front of the screen, for fear of missing any tiny details.

"This is based on the supplier information Xiaowei sent me here, and I selected some Italian dishes with good taste and representative taste, and of course drinks." Zhang Wentao pushed the computer to the two of them, and continued said:

"I think it is simpler. First of all, our restaurant is not big and there are not many tables. First, we should try our best to do basic training. Starting from the raw materials of the dishes, try to restore the taste of the food itself as much as possible. On the basis of the original flavor, some unique local ingredients are added here.”

Shi Tiandong controlled the touch screen with his hands, and carefully looked at the menu made by Zhang Wentao.

A general understanding of the other party's thinking.

Italian meals generally provide a full menu, including appetizers, soup, pasta, pizza, main course and dessert, but it is actually three courses.

The first dish: appetizers, soup, pasta, etc.;

The second course: meat or seafood;
The third course is dessert.

In order to better train employees to master the cooking methods of these dishes as soon as possible, Zhang Wentao's approach is also very straightforward, that is, to arrange the daily menu, what I do today, and what the restaurant sells.

Instead of letting the guests who come to eat hold a large menu to order food there.

"Brother Zhang, I took a look at the menu. I think there is no problem with this menu, but it will be a lot of work for you." After reading it, Shi Tiandong pushed the computer to Sun Xiaowei.

He could see that the key to this menu was the preparation of raw materials every day.

For example, the handmade pasta needed every day, various homemade sauces... With the existing staff in the kitchen, the workload is somewhat saturated.

Zhang Wentao smiled and said: "So I hope Mr. Sun will recruit at least 2 more chefs. Those who don't have basic skills are fine, as long as they are willing to work hard."

Sun Xiaowei looked at the menu and nodded silently. She could tell that what the other party wanted was actually an apprentice.

And if she refused to spend even the wages of the apprentices, she herself felt that it was unreasonable. After all, Zhang Wentao didn't ask for any compensation for coming to her shop to help.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will fully satisfy any request you have here."

Zhang Wentao said with a smile: "If Mr. Sun is so determined, I would like to suggest that you suspend business for two to three days first, so that I have enough time to make some preparations. What do you think?"

"Closing business?" Sun Xiaowei looked at Zhang Wentao with a complicated expression, then said after a moment of silence, "Starting from today?"

"It's best today. Look, according to our menu design, first we have to prepare all kinds of sauces, and then we have to make noodles and broth. Including some imported ingredients needed in the menu, your side It takes time too."

"Well, I think it's good to do this, and we can have enough time to communicate." Shi Tiandong laughed.

Seeing that Shi Tiandong also supported such a proposal, Sun Xiaowei thought that she had promised the other party to listen to the arrangements of the two chefs before, and after getting a reasonable explanation, she naturally readily agreed.

"Then let's go to the kitchen to prepare and take inventory together with the warehouse. Let's prepare early, the time is still pretty tight. By the way, Xiaowei, when the menu is being made, the people in the front hall will come over and talk to the chefs in the back kitchen. Get trained together."

"Well, don't worry, I understand the truth." Sun Xiaowei nodded and smiled quickly.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhang Wentao showed a confident smile.

In contrast, Xu Hongdou's progress is not very smooth. Although everyone likes her very much and welcomes her to join the small restaurant, the situation she faces is different from that of Zhang Wentao.

One is to tear down and start over, and the other is to sew and mend.

Relatively speaking, it was much more difficult for her to encounter the situation, and the problems of the two aunts alone gave her a headache.

Moreover, she also thought about the small restaurant's problem in a simple way.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked that guy for advice...

Faced with such a predicament, Xu Hongdou inevitably frowned and thought of Zhang Wentao, who pointed out many problems in the small restaurant last night with one sentence.

She also checked curiously yesterday that Michelin chefs basically run their own restaurants, which means that this guy has a lot of business ideas and concepts, as well as management experience.

The problem she faced just needed to be able to communicate more with such people and acquire valuable knowledge.

Thinking of this, when she came to Gesanghua restaurant with Xie Zhiyao, she couldn't help but took out her mobile phone while waiting for the meal, and wanted to contact him through WeChat.

But as soon as she opened WeChat, she was stunned...

The two never exchanged any contact information, let alone WeChat, she didn't even have the other party's phone number.

Didn't they say it's good to get to know each other again, why didn't they even give themselves a call.

Looking at the phone, Xu Hongdou blamed Zhang Wentao in his heart.

"It seems that the rules of your hotel lobby bar have been directly transferred here. It's a bit unacceptable." Xie Zhiyao said, filling the teacup in front of Xu Hongdou with tea, and said with a comforting smile: "Drink some water first. .”

Xu Hongdou came back to his senses, put down his phone, took a sip from his teacup and said, "I still have to serve dishes, clean up and do things together with them. Only in this way can we find more problems and train them from the basics. .”

"Teach the same thing as much as possible, and correct the same thing. Special cases should be treated specially, right?"

Seeing that the other party took the work of the small restaurant so seriously, and also had plans for the future, Xie Zhiyao felt relieved and said with a smile: "On the way to the restaurant just now, your face was gloomy and silent , I thought you were retreating."

Xu Hongdou shook her head and said with a smile, "That's why I said you don't understand me."

"Well, I need to understand more." During the words, Xie Zhiyao's tone was a little joking, but he looked at Xu Hongdou seriously:
"By the way, it's not because of this, so why are you so gloomy?"

When Xu Hongdou heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "I just think that I have fallen into the trap of your grandparents."

Xie Zhiyao: "."
