Dare to cook

Chapter 289
In the early summer of 9102, the college entrance examination came later than in previous years.

This morning, after Yao Yu got up, he steamed rice cakes and Jiaxin rice dumplings for Yao Yu.

Yang Rui, who is far away in Nanyun Province, also ordered a bunch of sunflowers for Yao Chan through the e-commerce platform, and it was delivered on time.

Chinese people have had the habit of begging for flattery since ancient times.

Rice cake + zongzi symbolizes the champion of high school, and sending a bunch of sunflowers to students who are about to take the college entrance examination is to wish them the best.

After Yao Chan received the sunflowers, she looked at the breakfast on the table again, a little dumbfounded: "Brother, I'm under a lot of pressure for you to make such a grand event."

"It's okay, just relax, just go to the exam with a normal heart." Yao Yu smiled and served her a bowl of millet porridge.

Eating too many rice dumplings and rice cakes in the morning is hard to digest, so Yao Yu just let Yao Chan eat some as a symbol.

After breakfast, Yao Yu sent Yao Chan to the examination room.

Yao Chan's examination room was assigned to Shangnan Middle School, which was exactly opposite to Renhe Hall.

It was already 09:30 in the morning when he came to the Renhe Hall after seeing off Yao Chan.

In the past few days, the executive chef of Renhe Restaurant's back kitchen has actually become Qin Ming.

Yao Yu doesn't take care of things, he is only responsible for training other chefs in the back kitchen when he has time.

After living in Shanghai for more than a week, Bi Dong has gradually adapted to the living habits here.

Bi Dong was reticent and rarely communicated with Yao Yu.

Although Yao Yu didn't intend to accept him as a disciple yet.But did not ignore him.

During these few days, Yao Yu taught him several western dishes.

He also focused on explaining the difference between Western-style spices and Chinese-style commonly used spices for Bi Dong.

Not only that, in order for Bi Dong to have enough opportunities to practice his mobile phone, Yao Yu also informed Liu Yiran to ask the waiter in the front hall to recommend at least one western food every day.

All the western dishes are prepared by Bi Dong, and Yao Yu and Qin Ming are in charge of checking.

After Yao Yu took over Renhe Restaurant, which originally only focused on local dishes, the dishes provided are not limited to local dishes.

For general restaurants, it is not that the more types of dishes they offer, the more money they can make.

Because there are more types of dishes, the preparation process will be more complicated and the cost will increase.

It is also difficult for ordinary chefs to take into account the quality of multiple cuisines.

The more and more dishes are cooked, the positioning of the restaurant is often blurred, and it is impossible to leave a clear and deep impression on the diners.

But these problems are not a problem for the kitchen of Renhe Restaurant.

Now the back kitchen of Renhe Restaurant is strong enough to change the menu every day without worrying about ruining the signboard.

During these days when Bi Dong and Qin Ming were staying at Renhe Hall to work, Tang Ying also asked the decoration company to finish the decoration of the restaurant next door.

The venue next door used very environmentally friendly materials during the renovation process.

Therefore, as long as the decoration is completed, the next door can be put into use immediately.

After the opening of the restaurants on both sides, the business area doubled in an instant. Correspondingly, Tang Ying also had to recruit some chefs and waiters to make up for the shortage of manpower.

"I've done the math. After the restaurant is expanded, 15 more waiters will be recruited, and three more small kitchen workers will be recruited."

"There is no need to hire cleaners, but they have to be given a [-]% salary increase, otherwise the cleaning area will be doubled, and they will not clean it seriously."

"Liu Yiran's basic salary has to be increased by 0.5%, and I plan to increase her performance salary by [-]%."

"In addition, I plan to promote Zhang Xiaohan to be Liu Yiran's deputy, so that she can learn the business of the front office manager."

"If we want to open a branch in the future, then Liu Yiran can be the store manager of the first branch. And Zhang Xiaohan can also take over Liu Yiran's position after training."

In the restaurant office, Tang Ying, dressed in a small casual suit, quickly calculated the labor cost, and said to Yao Yu, "Do you have any opinions on these decisions?"

"You are the boss and you have the final say." Yao Yu shrugged:

"However, it's better not to think about things like opening a branch too early. It's easy to take too many steps... Stretch your muscles."

"I know these things well," Tang Ying said, "Have you got your passport done? You have to go to Europe in a few days. After you leave, will Qin Ming stay? Will he take care of the back kitchen?"

Yao Yu nodded and said:

"Qin Ming has the strength of the top ten in the Jade Food List. You can rest assured that he is in charge of the back kitchen."

"When I come back from Europe, I will find another active Yushibang chef to replace him."

Tang Ying said:

"Let's not talk about the future. In three days, the restaurant next door will be open. The current team configuration of the kitchen will definitely be too busy."

"You want me to find two chefs for you right now?" Yao Yu asked.

"Yes." Tang Ying nodded, and smiled bluntly, "It's best to be in the top [-] of the Jade Food List."

"Are you thinking about farting?" Yao Yu rolled his eyes:

"Do you really think that the chefs on the Jade Food List are all at the price of cabbage? The price of a chef in the top [-] on the Jade Food List is enough for you to pack and dig more than ten Tan Shaomin."

Tan Shaomin is the retired Jade Food List chef that Tang Ying hired before.

Now he is the executive chef of Renhe Pavilion in name.

However, since Yao Yu kidnapped Qin Ming and decided to rectify the back kitchen of Renhe Restaurant, Tan Shaomin could only stand aside.

After chatting with Tang Ying in the office for a while, Yao Yu returned to the back kitchen to continue working.

After this period of self-practice, Yao Yu's cooking skill value slowly increased to lv8 (41247.4).

Since returning from Yanjing, the system has been very quiet, and no tasks have been released, which makes Yao feel a little bored.

In the afternoon, during the break, Yao Yu sent a message to Mao Yuan and Xu Lin, asking about their current situation.

These two are teammates that Yao Yu met during the team competition in the Shencheng Division.

Although, their level is nothing in the National League.But the overall strength is also stronger than ordinary five-star chefs.

It happened that Tang Ying had to recruit people again. Yao Yu thought about it and decided to ask them if they were interested in coming to work.

Mao Yuan's reply was quick.

After the famous contest, he has been traveling and studying in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and has no fixed job.

Knowing that Yao Yu wanted him to work in Renhe Pavilion, Mao Yuan agreed immediately, saying that he could return to Shencheng tomorrow to sign a contract with Renhe Pavilion.

As for Xu Lin, because she had signed a contract with Luming Group, she declined Yao Yu's invitation.

Tang Ying needs to recruit at least two people, but now only one can come.

Yao Yu thought for a while, flipped through the address book for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on a cold-faced profile picture - tofu Xi Shi Chu Xinmei!

Chu Xinmei was another teammate Yao Yu met in the Shanghai team competition.

Besides Yao Yu, he was also the strongest chef player in the Shencheng competition area at that time.

Chu Xinmei herself is well-known in the culinary arts circle of Shanghai, and also has her own shop.

If it wasn't for his mother's sudden hospitalization and no one to take care of him, with Chu Xinmei's strength, as long as he played normally, he could at least reach the top 64 of the National League.

"Tsk, what a pity."

"But that guy Chu Xinmei is too low-key, and he has never launched a ranking battle. Otherwise, wouldn't the top fifty rankings on the Jade Food Ranking be within reach?"

Yao Yu thought to himself, thought for a few seconds, and decided to pay a visit to Chu Xinmei.
