Siheyuan: Start with senior technicians

Chapter 239

"Come over and have a look!" Jiang Lai said.

This time Jiang Lai called him not because of his own affairs, but because there was a problem with Yang Weibiao's restaurant.

This Gray Whale restaurant is one of the best in the entire Magic City, with a daily revenue of around five million.

A year later, there are two to three billion.

Although Yang Weibiao doesn't care much about the money, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.

The chef suddenly wanted to change jobs, and he really had to come forward to resolve the matter.

"You should be over there now, I'll be right over." After Yang Weibiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Compared with the restaurant, a game is obviously not that important.

Yang Weibiao put up his mobile phone and looked at Lin Wanyu.

"I have something to do. Please don't go out until I come back. I'm afraid you don't know the way."

"If you have any questions, call me at any time." Yang Weibiao told Lin Wanyu.

"Brother-in-law, go and do your work. I'll be fine." Lin Wanyu nodded obediently.

"Yeah!" Yang Weibiao didn't waste any time and drove to the Gray Whale Restaurant.

In the office, Yang Weibiao met Jiang Lai.

In the office, there is also a fat man wearing a white coat.

He must be the chef at Gray Whale Restaurant.

Yang Weibiao looked him up and down. He was a foreigner, with blond hair and blue eyes, and his expression looked a bit fierce.

Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Weibiao coming.

"You're finally here!"

"What's going on now?" Yang Weibiao asked.

"Our chef's contract with us has expired and he wants to move to another restaurant."

"But, he didn't mention this before. We don't have time to find a new chef now."

Jiang Lai was a little anxious.

Gray Whale Restaurant is not one of those small restaurants. Some customers have made reservations long ago.

If the business suddenly closes, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among them.

In this industry, reputation is very important.

Even if they can recruit a new chef tomorrow, I'm afraid they won't be able to open today.

In fact, the more important point is that this chef, who has never mentioned this before, is suddenly going to resign.

Let Jiang Lai not be prepared at all.

After Yang Weibiao learned what happened, he once again set his sights on the foreign chef.

"Since you want to resign, why don't you tell us in advance so that we can have emergency measures in place in the restaurant!"

"Sir, this doesn't seem to be my business. My contract expired yesterday. I applied for resignation today. There shouldn't be any problems or any breach of contract, right?"

The blond foreign chef said.

If you are not ready to renew the contract, you will jump ship on the day the contract expires without any prompting.

If this wasn't intentional, Yang Weibiao wouldn't believe it.

"Are you planning to switch jobs to that restaurant? How much did they offer you?" Yang Weibiao asked.

"I want to switch jobs to Xuanwei Western Restaurant. The annual salary offered to me is five million!!" the foreign chef said calmly.

Yang Weibiao was a little surprised. Five million annual salary.

In this industry, the annual salary is considered to be very high.

According to Yang Weibiao's knowledge, the chef's original annual salary at Gray Whale Restaurant was four million a year, which was quite good.

He was even given a boutique apartment in a high-end community.

The other party now wants to sit here and raise the price. Yang Weibiao was not very happy.

The blond foreign chef was calm. He was sitting on the sofa leisurely, not in any hurry.

"How about increasing the price for him? He wants to stay with us." Jiang Lai whispered in Yang Weibiao's ear.

Yang Weibiao smiled and said, "No need."

"The annual salary we offer him is already high enough, which is considered the ceiling of their industry."

"We also allocated a boutique room."

Jiang Lai was a little anxious.

"But if we let him go, what will happen to our restaurant? It will definitely not be able to continue operating in the past few days. Moreover, it is difficult to say whether we can find such a good chef."

"Many customers choose to come to us because of his reputation."

After all, Jiang Lai is the person in charge of this restaurant and knows more about the situation in the restaurant than Yang Weibiao.

After hearing this, Yang Weibiao still just smiled.

"Without him, our restaurant can still continue to operate, and the business will definitely be more prosperous!!"

"Have you already chosen a new chef?" Jiang Lai was a little surprised.

Yang Weibiao looked at the blond foreign chef, "Okay, we allow you to resign, you can go!"

The foreign chef was quite surprised when he heard Yang Weibiao's words.

He thought he had already settled on Yang Weibiao.

However, Yang Weibiao actually allowed him to resign now?
"Sir, have you thought it through? If I leave now, there will be no chef at Gray Whale Restaurant. In other words, your restaurant may not be able to open before you recruit a new chef. "

"I'm afraid this will have a great impact on the reputation of your restaurant, right?"

The foreign chef spoke.

"This is something we need to consider, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Now, you can pack your things and leave!" Yang Weibiao was still smiling.

"Humph!" The foreign chef snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Before leaving, he gave Yang Weibiao a meaningful look.

It seems to be saying, "I want to see how long your Gray Whale Restaurant can last without me!"

Yang Weibiao didn't pay attention to him at all.

After the chef left, Jiang Lai became a little anxious.

"Yang Weibiao, what are you doing? I asked you to come here to help negotiate, even if you raise the price."

"Now that he is gone, our restaurant may not be able to operate in the next few days."

"Isn't he just a chef? If he leaves, he will leave. What's the big deal?" Yang Weibiao said with a smile.

"Do you have a better candidate?"

"Hmm?" Yang Weibiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I knew it. No wonder you didn't panic at all. That guy thinks he has been working here for several years and is proud of himself. Now he is still raising prices with us."

"So you have already made arrangements, Yang Weibiao, are you too predictable?" Jiang Lai was extremely excited.

"Where is the chef? Hurry and ask him to come over and report. In a few hours, the restaurant will be open."

"He's already here." Yang Weibiao smiled mysteriously.

"Where are they?" Jiang Lai looked around in the office. Except for Yang Weibiao, there was no one in the office.

At this time, Jiang Lai seemed to realize something and turned his attention back to Yang Weibiao.

What Yang Weibiao means is that he wants to become the chef of Gray Whale Restaurant?
Jiang Lai was shocked.

"No?" Jiang Lai couldn't believe his guess.

"Yes, it's just what you think, I will be the chef of this restaurant!!" Yang Weibiao grinned.

"Yang Weibiao, you are the boss. Are you going to be the chef?"

"I don't come here to be the chef every day. When a new chef is hired, I will leave." Yang Weibiao said.

"But, are you really qualified for the job of chef?" Jiang Lai expressed doubts.

Yang Weibiao smiled, "Don't you know the taste of my cooking?"

Of course Jiang Lai knows that Yang Weibiao's cooking is delicious.

However, those are just home-cooked dishes.

The Gray Whale Restaurant is a high-end Western restaurant.

Can Yang Weibiao really cope with it?

Yang Weibiao came to the kitchen without much explanation.

Jiang Lai also followed him with doubts.

In the back kitchen, there are a total of four chefs and eight apprentices.

Seeing the arrival of Yang Weibiao and Jiang Lai, the manager of Gray Whale Restaurant hurriedly summoned all the chefs and apprentices.

Everyone stood in two rows in front of Yang Weibiao.

They looked at the unfamiliar Yang Weibiao, a little curious and a little decadent.

They all know that with the chef gone, the restaurant may not be able to continue operating today and in the next period of time.

Yang Weibiao glanced at everyone and said coldly, "From today on, I will be your new chef!!"

"Here, each of you must obey my orders unconditionally!"

"Do you understand?"

Yang Weibiao's voice was not loud, but it had a somewhat unquestionable tone.

When everyone heard this, they all felt as if they were enlightened.

There was obviously more energy in their eyes. However, there are more doubts.

Everyone is guessing who Yang Weibiao is.

Why did a new chef come so quickly after the chef left?
If everyone wants to live a more comfortable life, it is natural for them to take a good look at Yang Weibiao's character.

However, what disappointed them was that there was no expression on Yang Weibiao's face.

"Today, everything is business as usual. The restaurant is still open as usual. Now, please report your names and your scope of work."

Yang Weibiao shouted again.

"Start with you!" Yang Weibiao stood at the big fat man in front of him. "Wang Yuan, responsible for cutting vegetables!!"

"Li Ming, in charge of desserts!!"

"Zhou Qigang, responsible for cooking the steak!!"

……

Everyone reported their names and positions one by one. Yang Weibiao kept it in mind silently.

"Okay, now you can go down and do your work. The restaurant will be open soon. What you should do before, do now." Yang Weibiao ordered.

Everyone dispersed.

Yang Weibiao turned his head and looked at Jiang Lai, "You have nothing to do here, go to the office!"

"Manager Zhang, the arrangements in the restaurant remain as usual, let's go!"

Yang Weibiao ordered Jiang Lai and Manager Zhang again.

Jiang Lai and Manager Zhang left, still full of doubts.

"Mr. Jiang, is the boss qualified for the job of chef?" Manager Zhang looked at Jiang Lai with a worried look.

"Hey, whether it's possible or not, it's up to him now." Jiang Lai sighed.

If Yang Weibiao messes up the chef's job in the past few days, I am afraid that the Gray Whale Restaurant will eventually suffer huge losses.

Of course, everything is a foregone conclusion now, and we can only take one step at a time.

"Manager Zhang, these days, you should pay more attention to some more capable chefs. If there is a suitable candidate, no matter what the price, I will get him."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was already the restaurant's business hours. Guests came one after another.

In the back kitchen, things started to get busy.

"Fillet mignon, two, medium rare."

"Macaron dessert, two servings!"

……

Dishes were announced one by one from Yang Weibiao's mouth.

The chefs were busy one by one.

Yang Weibiao stood in front of a platform at the entrance to the kitchen, observing everyone's work.

In most cases, the chef does not need to cook the food himself.

The main purpose of the chef is to supervise and taste the dishes.

Each dish can only be served to the guests by the waiter after the chef nods.

This is the easiest step, but it is also the most important.

Yang Weibiao was watching in all directions. At this time, he saw a chef responsible for cooking steaks. One of the steaks took more than one minute to cook.

Because the customer ordered a medium-rare steak, the cooking time is basically longer than medium-rare.

Yang Weibiao hurriedly stepped forward, "Replace this steak, it's too fried."

"Chef, I looked at the timer, it's exactly one minute." The chef responsible for frying the steak said in confusion.

"Who told you that you need to fry a medium-rare steak for one minute, fifty seconds is enough!!"

"Follow my instructions and replace these two steaks!!"

Yang Weibiao's tone was a bit unquestionable.

The chef was a little uncomfortable because he used to fry steaks for one minute and no customers reported any problems.

He even thought Yang Weibiao was deliberately trying to find fault.

However, he didn't dare to disobey Yang Weibiao's wishes and did it honestly.

Yang Weibiao returned to his position and monitored everyone's work.

The chef is proficient in this skill, not only for Chinese food, but also for Western food.

Moreover, any kind of Western food, every dish, has detailed cooking methods and ingredients.

Therefore, if Yang Weibiao takes up the position of chef, even if he does not have any experience, he can rely on his mastery of this skill as a chef and become a very good chef.

The steak is done and it’s time to make the sauce.

This step was originally performed by another chef.

Yang Weibiao stepped forward and asked him to watch. He wants to prepare the sauce himself.

"This is my unique sauce recipe. Look good and learn from it!"

"Black pepper, butter, caviar!"

Yang Weibiao told the chef next to him who was responsible for preparing the sauce all the ingredients.

After the ingredients were complete, Yang Weibiao began to cook the sauce.

What kind of heat, when to add what ingredients, every step, he told the chef next to him.

The sauce was mixed, and Yang Weibiao carefully poured it on the steak.

A filet mignon is done. The chef responsible for preparing the sauce who had been standing next to Yang Weibiao suddenly looked at Yang Weibiao and said.

"Chef Yang, this is the first time I've seen someone use caviar to make sauce. Isn't this too extravagant for you?"

"And, will this really not destroy the original texture and flavor of the filet mignon?"

The chef's questions were very professional, and his doubts were reasonable.

Yang Weibiao smiled, "You will know when the time comes."

"Do you remember what I just told you?"

"Remember!" the chef nodded.

"Well, from now on, every steak should be topped with this sauce. As for the caviar, just use the most common one, and just control the amount!"

Yang Weibiao said.

After two portions of filet mignon were placed on the plate, Yang Weibiao mixed some sauce and tasted it.

It tastes exactly like the sauce that the chef has mastered.

Yang Weibiao knew that he had succeeded and nodded with satisfaction.

He pressed the alarm on the table, and immediately a waiter came in and left with the filet mignon.

In the living room of the Gray Whale restaurant, there were two young women wearing noble dresses, and it was the filet mignon they ordered just now.

"Feifei, is the filet mignon in this restaurant as delicious as you said?"

One of the girls, wearing a blue dress and with a face as delicate as a doll, said.

Feifei, the woman wearing a sexy red dress smiled.

"Xue'er, isn't the food here now? You can taste it yourself and you'll know?"

"It's not delicious, how could I bring you here?"

Miss Xueer smiled, put away her knife and fork, and began to taste.

Chen Feifei and Zhou Xueer both come from wealthy families and are standard Bai Fumei.

They grew up eating steak and other things.

They have some pretty in-depth knowledge about every type of steak.

However, when the filet mignon in front of them entered their mouths, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at each other.

His eyes were full of shock.

The fresh taste of caviar spreads in the mouth. The medium-rare filet mignon is tender and smooth, intertwined with the taste of caviar.

It's very layered and doesn't interfere with each other's flavors.

The combination of freshness and tender and smooth taste brings an extraordinary impact to people's mouth.

After a long time, they came back to their senses and began to feast regardless of their appearance.

They both ate quietly without saying a word.

A steak was completely destroyed by them in just three minutes.

Normally, with their higher education, they would not finish a steak so quickly.

It was so delicious that they didn't care about anything else.

"Feifei, this is the first time you bring me to eat such a delicious steak. Wow, that's too much!"

Zhou Xueer's face was filled with anger.

Chen Feifei's face was a little shocked.

Because the taste of this filet mignon was different from what she had eaten here before.

Whether it's the texture of the steak or the taste of the sauce.

It tastes ten times more delicious than before.

"Xue'er, this restaurant has changed its chef. Is the taste of this steak different from what I've had before?"

Chen Feifei said.

"Could it be that what you have eaten before is better?" Zhou Xueer was quite shocked.

Because this was the best steak she had ever eaten since she was a child.

"Isn't it more delicious? This steak tastes the best I have ever tasted!"

"I'm suddenly very interested in this chef!" Chen Feifei said.

"I'm also very interested. Someone who can make such delicious steak must be a very famous chef!"

Zhou Xueer was also very excited.

She was even thinking about how much enjoyment it would be if she could have this chef cook for her at home every day.

At this time, Chen Feifei snapped her fingers and called the waiter next to her.

"You two ladies, do you have any orders?"

A male waiter came up with a smile.

"Well, here's your tip. Go and help me call your chef."

Chen Feifei took out a stack of red tickets from her bag and handed them to the waiter.
