Chapter 276 The Signature Snacks of Seven Canteens(2/3)
Early the next morning, less than 24 hours after the recruitment notice was sent out, Hua Xiaoling came over happily to announce the good news:
"Boss, there are quite a few chefs who have sent in their resumes to apply for jobs. In just one night, I have received more than a dozen resumes!"
"Really? Don't rush to choose now. After a few days, there will be more people applying. Then print out all the resumes and let's make a selection."
When Jiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said,
"We don't have many chefs to recruit, so we can just select a few suitable ones and come over for interviews."
"Yeah! I read the comments on the Douyin video, and many people are still very interested in our Seventh Canteen."
Hua Xiaoling nodded repeatedly and said with a smile,
"By the way, there are still many people saying that our Seventh Canteen has not launched a 'fan benefit' for a long time, and asked us when we can launch a 'fan benefit' activity again."
"How can we have this time now? Besides, the weather is so hot and the food can easily go bad. I don't want to cause any trouble."
Jiang Yu shook his head and laughed, and after a while he said,
"Let's wait until the new chef arrives and has some free time."
"Oh, okay, then I understand."
When Hua Xiaoling heard this, she felt that what her boss said was quite reasonable, so she naturally stopped refuting it. She nodded in agreement, then turned around and went out to start the live broadcast.
"Boss, in a while, the school will be out for summer vacation. Is it inappropriate for us to recruit new people now?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Hua Xiaoling left, Lu Shuwu also came up and said with a confused look,
"The new chef has arrived and won't be able to work for a few days. We might as well wait until the end of August when school starts soon to recruit him."
Jiang Yu glanced at him and said, "Who told you that we are going to have a vacation during the summer vacation?"
"Uh... what the boss means is that our Seventh Canteen will not have summer vacation this year?" Lu Shuwu was stunned, with a face full of surprise.
Jiang Yu turned to look at him and asked with a half-smile: "Then do you want to take a vacation, or do you not want to take a vacation?"
"Hey! It's hard to say this."
Lu Shuwu raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment,
“When I’m busy in the kitchen every day, I want to take a vacation, but if I really take a summer vacation, it feels like it’s too long.
It’s only been two months, where can I stay at home?”
"If you really go home during the summer vacation, I'm afraid you won't be so free, right?"
Jiang Yu continued busy with his work, smiled and said,
"I don't believe that your old man would let you stay at home for so long every day. He would definitely drive you to cook in the restaurant's kitchen."
"Boss, you know my grandpa."
When Lu Shuwu heard this, he immediately grimaced and frowned like a chrysanthemum.
"My grandpa wants to teach me all his skills right away. This means he can't perform the initiation. Otherwise, he would have done this a few years ago."
"You just have to be satisfied with a grandpa with such superb cooking skills."
Jiang Yu raised his head and glanced at him again, curled his lips and said, "How many people want to learn his cooking skills, but it's a pity that they don't even know where they are."
"I'm not complaining, I just think grandpa is too impatient. Some things should be done step by step."
Lu Shuwu shook his head and sighed.
He probably also felt that it was useless to tell Jiang Yu this, so he quickly stopped continuing the topic and instead said,
"By the way, boss, you haven't told me how to arrange your summer vacation!"
"Dining No. 7 is a restaurant. There is no such thing as winter or summer vacation. Since Dining No. 7 is open normally, the kitchen on the first floor cannot be empty."
Jiang Yu thought for a while and said to Lu Shuwu,
"Although school is on holiday, many students still choose to stay in school, either reviewing for the public postgraduate entrance examination, or doing social practice. Therefore, our canteen on the first floor will definitely be open during the summer vacation.
However, considering that most students will leave school, our Seventh Canteen does not need to cook as many meals as usual, and we will arrange rotational breaks at that time.
After we recruit a new chef in a while, you can discuss and draw up a duty list to ensure the normal operation of the canteen."
"Okay." Lu Shuwu nodded.
The two chatted for a while and then continued to work.
…
Jiangzhou City, Qingshan Restaurant.
We are still some distance away from lunch time. Although the kitchen is a little busy, it is not messy at all. Several kitchen workers are sorting out the various fresh ingredients they have just purchased while whispering to each other:
"Hey, have you seen the news? Jiang Daqi Canteen is hiring!"
"I saw it too, but it's a pity that they hired chefs, not apprentices!"
"Hey, if I were a chef, I would definitely submit my resume. If I go to Qi Canteen, I can eat the food cooked by Boss Xiao Jiang every day. I feel happy just thinking about it!"
"Hehe, you are saying this as if you have eaten the food cooked by Boss Xiao Jiang."
"Well...although I have never eaten the food he cooked, I have eaten the peach blossom shortcake he made. The taste will never be forgotten in my life!"
"..."
Although their voices were not loud, Xiong Zhengtao, who was standing not far away, heard them all, and couldn't help but feel a little yearning in his heart.
Just two days ago, he had submitted his resignation report to the restaurant. As long as everything goes well, he can officially leave his job within a few days.
The reason why Xiong Zhengtao wanted to resign was naturally to apply for a job at Jiangda Qi Canteen.
Qingshan Restaurant is also a high-ranking restaurant in Jiangzhou and even the entire province. Every day, it is crowded with diners, all seats are packed, and the business is very booming.
The reason why the business is so prosperous is not only related to the geographical location of Qingshan Restaurant, but the most important reason is of course that the food in the restaurant is delicious.
The chef of Qingshan Restaurant is named He Donglai. He is over 40 years old. He has a lot of honors such as National Senior Culinary Technician, Chinese Famous Chef, Zhangjiang Provincial Culinary Artist, etc. He is good at the innovation, research and development and production of Zhangjiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine.
Zhangjiang's famous dishes such as three-cup chicken, lotus blood duck, and white-roasted male fish head, which he improved, are deeply loved by diners, attracting many old men from all over the country to come here to taste them.
Logically speaking, having such a master chef with superb cooking skills and working as a chef in such a famous restaurant is a rare opportunity for a young man in his twenties like Xiong Zhengtao.
.
There are both development prospects and a stage for display, and the future is bright.
But Xiong Zhengtao was quite dissatisfied.
The reason is that after working at Qingshan Restaurant for nearly three years, I found that I have never made much progress in technique. This is not because Xiong Zhengtao doesn't work hard enough or is unwilling to learn. In fact, he has the cooking skills he has today.
, most of them are obtained through hard work.
The most critical reason why progress is too slow is because there is no one to give guidance.
According to common sense, in addition to the reasonable division of labor among chefs, the head chef also has the responsibility of leading the chefs to cook various dishes, accurately using various cooking methods, and ensuring the quality of the products. However, the head chef of Qingshan Restaurant
He Donglai is different from others.
When he was required to prepare exquisite dishes, He Donglai often worked hard and said nothing at all during the whole process.
Let alone explain to other chefs in detail why this dish is made as it is and how to master these key techniques of cooking, even if a chef asked, he would not tell.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, not all chefs in the kitchen can't get advice. There are always some chefs who are willing to flatter and flatter He Donglai, even during the holidays.
If you want to give him a gift or something, that's it, He Donglai will only give him a few random words of advice when he is in a good mood.
After staying in such an environment for a long time, Xiong Zhengtao felt that even his breathing became a little unsmooth.
In fact, long before, when he found that it was getting harder and harder to improve his cooking skills, he had already wanted to change jobs. However, before he could find a suitable place, he suddenly saw the recruitment information of Jiang Da Qi Canteen.
Suddenly a spark of hope arose in my heart.
As early as the beginning of the year, he had the honor to go to Qi Canteen with his friends.
Just that one time made him remember the food cooked by Boss Xiaojiang for a long time. It also gave him a deep understanding of Boss Xiaojiang's cooking skills, and made him realize how extraordinary Boss Xiaojiang was.
What's more, he also heard that Boss Xiao Jiang not only often gives advice to his chefs, but he also never reserves any reservations. As long as you want to learn, he is willing to teach.
A chef with such superb cooking skills, a chef with such a broad mind and a grand demeanor, isn't that what he hopes to meet?
What's more, Boss Xiao Jiang's cooking skills are much better than He Donglai's!
No matter how powerful He Donglai is, can a banquet he cooks be sold for a high price of 100,000 yuan?
What Xiong Zhengtao is worried about now is that if he applies for a job at Qi Canteen based on his current cooking skills, what will he do if Boss Xiaojiang doesn't like him?
"Brother Tao, the chef is looking for you!"
While Xiong Zhengtao was thinking about these things, an apprentice worker suddenly ran over and shouted.
Xiong Zhengtao was startled and asked, "Ah? Do you know what the chef wants from me?"
"I don't know, but it looks like he's not in a very good mood. Brother Tao, you'd better go there quickly."
"good."
Xiong Zhengtao nodded. He probably knew in his heart that the head chef was looking for him simply because he wanted to resign.
It was impossible to keep idle people in the kitchen. It had always been a carrot and a pit. Once he left, he would have to recruit new people, which He Donglai found troublesome.
