The next day, Jiang Yu got up early and went to the kitchen on the first floor with Lu Shuwu to prepare breakfast.

Restaurant No. 7 only provides lunch and dinner, so Jiang Yu is relatively leisurely in the morning, and only Yan Tongtong is busy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Yu also met in person the side dish worker Lu Shuwu helped find and the apprentice worker introduced by Ma Guoqiang.

The waiter's name is Pei Guofu. He is in his forties. He is a rather ordinary-looking middle-aged man with short round hair. He always has a smile on his round face and looks honest and honest.

The main job of the side dish worker is to distribute, cut and process vegetables, side dishes, toppings and other raw materials, as well as other assistive tasks.

A good side dish worker can not only save the workload of the chef, but also improve the quality of the dishes in terms of nutrition, color and taste.

Jiang Yu didn't say much. He chatted casually with Pei Guofu for a while, then took him to the side dish room and said with a smile:

"Master Pei, if you don't mind, could you help me prepare one or two dishes?

It’s not that I don’t believe in your ability to prepare dishes, but mainly I want to see if the dishes you prepare match our chef’s usual cooking habits.”

If the waiters and chefs work well together, it will be a big help, and vice versa.

No matter which chef you are, you hope that the chef who prepares your dishes will have similar tastes to your own, so that when you work together, your work efficiency will be much higher.

This is not the first day that Pei Guofu has worked in the kitchen. Of course he understands this truth.

To be honest, if you meet a chef who you get along with, it will be much easier for him to work, so there is no reason why he would be reluctant.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and then said:

"Master Pei, just pair it with mapo tofu and ginger spicy pork ribs. One meat and one vegetarian, it's just right."

"Okay, Boss Jiang, wait a moment."

Pei Guofu turned around and took a few glances at the fresh-keeping cabinets in the pantry, and then started to take action.

He looks honest and honest, but when he does things, he is very fast, neat and tidy, and not sloppy at all.

When he said "wait a moment," Jiang Yu thought it was a false word, but unexpectedly he actually meant it. It really only took a moment for the two dishes to be cut and mixed and placed neatly on the plate.

Jiang Yu came up and took a closer look. The main dishes and side dishes were in reasonable portions and the colors were well matched. The side dishes could be fried directly after being handed over to the chef. There was no need to add or subtract one point.

From the speed and proficiency of Pei Guofu's side dishes, Jiang Yu can see that he has indeed been doing this for many years and has reached a very high level of side dishes.

"It's pretty good. The side dishes are served very quickly. The key is the portion size and the color combination."

Jiang Yu nodded and said with a smile on his face,

"Master Pei is really good at it, so let's take a rest first, and then follow me upstairs to help at noon.

As for the treatment, let’s talk about it later.”

The two apprentices brought by Ma Guoqiang are very young, both around 20 years old. One is slightly fat, with white flesh and looks very festive, named Deng Zehang, and the other is thin and talkative, named Ma Wendong...

These two people were probably close to Ma Guoqiang. As soon as they arrived, they were brought to Jiang Yu for a brief introduction, and then he said with a smile:

"Boss Xiao Jiang, these two guys have worked in restaurant kitchens in the city before. They haven't learned any other skills, but they can still do some chores like washing and chopping vegetables.

They have also heard about the reputation of our Seventh Canteen, and they admire you very much. As soon as they heard that they could come here to work, they didn't sleep well last night. They came over before dawn and woke me up.

Don’t worry, they will definitely work hard. If they don’t obey, you can beat them or scold them at will!”

After Jiang Yu heard what he said, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said this as if he had a hot temper. We are not a firecracker, so we can do it at a moment's notice.

In the kitchen, the apprentices mainly do some side dishes, washing vegetables, and cleaning the kitchen.

The most basic tasks such as passing food around.

The requirements are not too high, because they do not have professional cooking skills themselves, and apprentices are just here to learn cooking skills.

But in actual work, it is generally difficult for apprentices to learn real skills because chefs have no obligation to teach you. In addition, kitchen work is already very busy and tiring, and they do not have the time or energy to guide apprentices.

To put it more unpleasantly, even if I teach you, what will I get?

Therefore, Jiang Yu could also understand what Ma Guoqiang meant, which was that he hoped that he could occasionally teach them something besides cooking, so as to avoid being an apprentice for several years and still not knowing anything when he went out.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, don't worry, as long as they work hard, I will definitely not treat them badly."

"That's good, that's good!"

Ma Guoqiang nodded happily and turned around to scold the two people,

"Why don't you quickly thank Boss Xiaojiang? Work hard from now on. If you cheat on women and cheat, if Boss Xiaojiang doesn't take care of you, I will have to take care of you too!"

"thank you boss!"

"We will definitely work hard, thank you boss!"

The two people shrank their heads and quickly thanked them.

After Ma Guoqiang took the two of them down, Jiang Yu originally wanted to see the chef who was said to be a bit arrogant, but after asking around, he found out that the chef hadn't come yet.

I don’t know if it’s because the road is relatively long, or if I just don’t care about it at all.

Instead of seeing the person he wanted to see, Jiang Yu saw an unexpected person.

The Seventh Canteen has been open for nearly half a month after the New Year, and even the No. 7 restaurant on the second floor has officially opened to the public. Jia Dequan, who has not been back since returning home for the New Year, actually appeared in the Seventh Canteen at this time

In the kitchen.

"Hey, Lao Jia, why is your son willing to let you out?"

When Lu Shuwu saw Jia Dequan, he was startled for a moment, then ran over in large strides and said with joy on his face,

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I thought you wouldn't come. I had already planned to go to your place to see how you were doing after the May Day holiday!"

"

"Hmph, that sounds nice. I haven't been here for so long, and I haven't seen you give me a call."

Jia Dequan had a straight face, hummed twice, and said again,

"Fortunately, I am determined and always persist. I keep thinking about the food in the Seventh Canteen. Otherwise, I may not be willing to come back!"….

As he spoke, he waved to Lu Shuwu,

"What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and bring two baskets of soup dumplings? I came here hungry early in the morning just for this bite!"

When Lu Shuwu heard this, he nodded quickly: "Just wait, I'll get it for you!"

He is the happiest when Jia Dequan comes back, because this old man really teaches things and has no secrets at all!

Where can I find an experienced chef with such a high level of skill and selflessness now?

Even if his grandfather was leading an apprentice, he would still have a hand.

Because everyone is worried that they will teach the disciples to starve the master to death!

When Lu Shuwu ran out to fill the soup dumplings, Jiang Yucai smiled and said:

"Lao Jia, it's nice to be at home during the Chinese New Year, I think you look a lot better!"

"I run out and walk around the streets every day. After exercising for so long, can I look bad?"

"Oh? That's quite relaxing."

"You're so lazy! I'm looking for street food!"

Jia Dequan said angrily with an old face,

"I can't eat the food here at home, so I have to go to the streets to find substitutes. Where can I find them?

There is no other way, I really can’t stand it any longer, so I have no choice but to come back.”

"That's not right! Aren't you a state banquet-level chef? Can't you just cook and eat by yourself?"

Jiang Yu said with a strange look on his face, "Don't say that the food you cook is not as delicious as mine. I don't believe it."

"It's delicious, but when you eat the food you cook, it doesn't have the surprise."

Jia Dequan shook his head and said helplessly,

"This feels different."

"..."

Jiang Yu was speechless after saying this.

"Old Jia, you still have a high level of consciousness, but I can't understand it."

"Hey, don't talk about this."

Jia Dequan waved his hand and ignored the topic. He said with bright eyes,

"Xiaojiang, I already know that Restaurant No. 7 upstairs in the cafeteria is very popular now. You have done a great job!

I just want to spread my fame while I am young and let more people know about it!

How about it, do you want me to go up and help you?

Don’t worry, I will work quietly and never steal your limelight, as long as I have something to eat every day.”

Jiang Yu was stunned: "You go up and help me?"

This old Jia is a master of Hubei cuisine, on the same level as Lu Shuwu's grandfather.

If he could really help himself, then his restaurant No. 7 would be one of the best in Jiangzhou, not to mention its high standard in China.
