Dare to cook

Chapter 101

The sudden explosion frightened nearby pedestrians to flee in a hurry.

Yao Yu rushed to the door quickly and looked towards the restaurant next door, only to see that the restaurant was already full of smoke.

Many diners and waiters escaped in a panic.

Two or three women holding babies screamed.

There was some commotion.

Fortunately, apart from the explosion just now, there was no second explosion in the back kitchen next door.

But the fire inside has a tendency to spread.

Several chefs in chef uniforms withdrew from the back kitchen with pale faces and quickly closed the fire door of the back kitchen.

In Shanghai, a fire door must be installed between the back kitchen and the front hall of a regular restaurant.

Generally speaking, there are two types of restaurant fires.

One is that the area of ​​the fire source is small, and it can be extinguished in time with fireproof cotton and fire extinguishers.

The other is a sudden explosion due to gas leakage or other reasons, which caused a large area of ​​the back kitchen to catch fire.

If you encounter the latter situation where the fire is raging instantly, you can only evacuate the crowd quickly, then close the fire doors, and then notify the fire department to rescue the scene.

Judging from the reaction of the restaurant next door, the staff did a good job.

After all the staff were evacuated, the head chef in the back kitchen next door was cursing and calling on the phone, and at the same time asked someone to find a rubber hose, trying to use the fire hydrant on the sidewalk.

The door of the back kitchen of the restaurant next door has been sealed, but the fire spread from the broken windows of the back kitchen.

The layout of their restaurant is different from other restaurants.

In general restaurants, the back kitchen will be placed in the innermost part of the restaurant.Otherwise, the back chef would not be called the back chef.

However, due to the internal space problem of this restaurant, the kitchen can only be juxtaposed with the front hall facing the street.

Moreover, in order to make the exterior of the entire restaurant look neat and beautiful.

The wall of the back kitchen facing the street was also replaced by floor-to-ceiling glass by the restaurant owner.

Therefore, after the explosion in the kitchen next door, the commotion was so loud.

Yao Yu saw the situation and knew that if the fire was not controlled at this time, the fire from the kitchen next door would ignite the lawn and trees outside.

Once the lawn outside is also on fire, it will be more difficult to control the fire.

"I remember there are spare fire hoses in the restaurant! Quickly take them out and connect them!" Yao Yu turned around and shouted at the people in Renhe Hall.

Xu Yunle, who ran out to watch the excitement, heard this and hurried to get the fire hose.

At this time, the chef next door also borrowed a rubber hose from another store.

The coverage rate of street fire hydrants in downtown Shencheng is very high.

There are two near Renhe Hall.

Holding a large group of fire hoses, Xu Yunle and Yao Yu rushed to another fire hydrant, and joined the ranks of fire extinguishers.

With the suppression of two high-pressure water guns, the fire was finally suppressed.

About seven or eight minutes later, the nearest fire brigade arrived at the scene.

It took another 10 minutes for everyone to put out the fire.

After the fire was extinguished, the onlookers also dispersed.

Firefighters wearing fireproof suits walked into the darkened kitchen to check the cause of the fire.

At this moment, the head chef of the restaurant next door came over and said to Yao Yu, "Thanks, bro! Without your help, the fire wouldn't have gone out so quickly!"

Yao Yu said: "We're all in the same business, so why not be polite. No one in your restaurant was injured, right?"

The burly head chef shook his head and said, "Everyone is fine, except that two apprentices were cut a little by the blasted plates."

Xu Yunle was familiar with the chef next door and asked, "Brother Zhang, why did your back chef suddenly explode?"

Hearing this, the chef's face turned ugly, and he wanted to scold her again:
"It's not the good work of the purchasing manager! Changing the stove indiscriminately!"

"We have an oven in the kitchen that needs to be replaced. Originally, it would be fine to replace it with a new one of the original brand. But the purchaser said that he had a more affordable channel, but the non-brand oven that he bought exploded after a few days of use!"

"..." After hearing this, Yao Yu didn't know what to say.

Kitchen safety is no small matter.

When replacing the kitchen equipment, I didn't choose a big brand with reliable quality.Is the owner of the restaurant next door having a brain twitch or something out of his mind?

That means no casualties.

Otherwise, the profits of the restaurant next door will have to be lost for several years.

But even so, the loss next door is not that small right now.

Thinking of this, Yao Yu shook his head secretly, chatted with the head chef next door, and then returned to Renhe Restaurant.

Returning to the restaurant, Yao Yu immediately said to several cooks:
"Jiang Yuan, Zhang Zhiyun, please take people to check our own kitchen equipment. If there are any broken things in the kitchen, clean them out immediately."

The restaurant next door caught fire and almost caused casualties. The relevant departments will definitely come to investigate the cause of the fire.

At that time, not only the restaurant next door, but also the restaurants in the entire block will receive self-inspection requests from relevant departments.

Renhe Pavilion is so close to the restaurant next door, the fire department, industry and commerce, health and other departments will definitely come to Renhe Pavilion after checking the restaurant next door.

Renhe Restaurant has always attached great importance to the safety of the kitchen.

After Yao Yu became the executive chef, he had stricter requirements for the kitchen in terms of safety and hygiene.

He asked Jiang Yuan and the others to self-check the back kitchen in order to prevent problems before they happen, so as not to be picked out by the inspectors.

Things progressed exactly as Yao Yu expected.

After firefighters found out the cause of the fire, the owner of the restaurant next door was fined heavily for using unsafe kitchen equipment.

Subsequently, the industrial and commercial, health and kitchen associations also sent people to inquire about the situation, and centered on the restaurant next door, they began to conduct a large-scale safety inspection of restaurants in nearby blocks.

The Renhe Pavilion was the closest to the incident, and was the first to receive a wave of inspectors.

Although Yao Yu usually has strict management and there are no problems with the equipment and sanitation of the kitchen, but after being checked inside and out by these inspectors, he really picked out the same problem.

According to relevant regulations, the oil fume exhaust pipes in the back kitchen of restaurants must be cleaned every two months, and new pipes must be replaced every five years.

The oil fume exhaust system of Renhe Pavilion is just about to be replaced.

Due to the lessons learned from the neighbors, the inspectors ordered the Renhe Pavilion to suspend its business and had to replace it with a brand new smoke exhaust system immediately.

Tang Ying couldn't make a difference after hearing this, so she had to say that she would replace the oil fume exhaust system immediately.

The smoke exhaust system of Renhe Hall is complex and complete. Most of the smoke exhaust ducts are hidden on the ceiling of the back kitchen.

If you want to replace the smoke exhaust duct, you must first remove the ceiling.

As a result, it will take at least two days to replace the pipe.

Therefore, after the inspectors left, Tang Ying had to declare a two-day holiday.

To be able to have a vacation is naturally a dream for the cooks in the back kitchen.

They were all exhausted during this time.

Tang Ying also knew that since Yao Yu joined Renhe Pavilion, everyone has been very busy and hard.

So, to reward everyone.

Boss Tang rolled his eyes, and immediately announced that there would be no holidays, and instead he would take everyone out to team building for two or three days of fun.

When Liu Yiran, Zhang Xiaohan and others heard that they could go out to play, they were immediately excited.

Zhang Xiaohan hurriedly asked: "Mr. Tang, where are you taking us to play?"

Tang Ying thought for a while, then said with a smile:
"Tomorrow everyone will gather outside the World Park. Let's go to Daishan Island for two days together! Also, this is the first time this restaurant organizes a group building, and no one is allowed to ask for leave!"
