my boyfriend is a chef

With Xi Chuan gone, Sun Youchen felt like he had lost his backbone, and he couldn't get used to it for a long time, and he was a little hesitant when doing things, wondering how he would deal with it if Xi Chuan was around.Sometimes when he really couldn't make up his mind, he would make a phone call to ask Xi Chuan for his opinion, but slowly he got used to it and learned to make up his own mind without asking for opinions.In fact, many people are not incapable, but lack opportunities to exercise, or they are unwilling to force themselves to make up their minds and take responsibility.

The shop without Xi Chuan is slowly getting on the right track. Although it is not as confident as when it was with Xi Chuan, confidence is slowly cultivated by achievements. The taste remains the same as before.Everyone gradually cultivated a tacit understanding during the slow running-in, and constantly adjusted their mentality to adapt to their own masters.

So far, although there are occasional small problems, generally speaking, there are no major problems, the store is operating normally, and the turnover has not declined particularly significantly, which makes several people particularly gratified and proud.

Sun Youchen discussed with Xiao Shuai and the others, and decided to hire another waiter. Sun Youchen is about to start school, and he can't stare at the store all day by then. Xiao Shuai and Zhu Xiaohui are in charge of the kitchen, so they can't take on all the service work. Yes, another waiter must be recruited.So Sun Youchen posted another job recruitment notice, recruiting a male waiter.

After Xi Chuan went to Beijing, Sun Youchen had to video chat with him every night before going to bed. Before, he was asking him about work problems, but gradually the time of asking for opinions became less and became a pure chat, talking about each other’s day. Please share something interesting you have encountered.Xi Chuan was also quite busy. When he went, the restaurant hadn’t opened yet and was preparing for opening, and there were a lot of big and small things. As a minority shareholder, of course he couldn’t just sit idly by. Xie Qinghua would also arrange for him to deal with some things, so it was also very important. busy.But chatting with my little boyfriend is indispensable every day, no matter how busy I am, I have to make time for it.

Sun Youchen is very curious about Xi Chuan’s life in Beijing, where he lives, the size of the restaurant, who his colleagues are, and what they do every day. Anyway, every time the video starts, there are endless things to say, and they say it several times He fell asleep while talking. Seeing his sleeping face, Xi Chuan had to hang up the phone with distress and helplessness.

Xi Chuan lives in the dormitory rented by Xie Qinghua to the staff, not too far from the hotel, it takes half an hour to take the subway, and it takes several minutes to ride a shared bicycle to get out of the subway station.Xi Chuan lives alone in one of the three-bedroom, one-living suites. The room is small, because the area of ​​the three-bedrooms and one living room is only more than 80 square meters, which is far less spacious than the 120-square-meter big house they rented in Rongcheng. It is said that such a house The rent in Beijing is more than 8000 yuan, which is more than double the rent in Rongcheng. It is really not easy to live in Beijing.

Sun Youchen thought it was okay, at least he had a private room, and if he went to see him in Beijing, the two of them would still have a private space. On August 8, Xie Qinghua's Qingyu Restaurant officially opened. The address is located near the East Third Ring Road. Xi Chuan doesn't know how much he invested, but it's beyond what he, a young chef, can imagine.

It took Xie Qinghua a year and a half to prepare this restaurant, and it finally opened now.It really takes a lot of courage to open this restaurant when the overall catering environment is sluggish, but Xie Qinghua has his own considerations. High-end catering has indeed died down under the trend of anti-corruption and extravagance, because the consumption of public funds has been greatly reduced, but Eating is still a must. Food is the most important thing for the people, and the customs of the Chinese people will not change. There must be banquets for big events such as marriage, birthday, childbirth and housewarming. Qingyu Restaurant has the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine Nantang restaurant. ——Usually accept individual customers, mainly for family consumption, and also undertake banquets, so that they will not be affected by public consumption.In addition, Xie Qinghua has been in Beijing for many years and has a wide network of contacts, which can be regarded as a potential source of tourists.

Sun Youchen heard from Xi Chuan that the restaurant has hired more than 30 employees, of which there are about [-] people in the kitchen. Xie Qinghua himself serves as the executive chef, and there are four other chefs. The youngest of the chefs.When we first introduced each other, everyone heard that he was a fellow of the boss, and they all thought he came in because of his relationship.After everyone arrived, Xie Qinghua proposed to have a dinner together, and asked several chefs to present their special dishes, so that everyone could make friends through dishes.Xi Chuan made four dishes——steamed fat intestines in small cages, fish in half soup with pickled peppers, stewed chicken with soybean sprouts, and assorted cold salads. After the table, these dishes were the first to be eaten. Even the older chefs were very surprised. They didn't expect him to be so capable at such a young age. It really is a generation of talented people.

Listening to Xi Chuan's understatement of this experience, Sun Youchen was so excited that he rolled on the bed: "Are they all conquered?"

Xi Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Maybe."

"Then do you still want to learn from them?" Sun Youchen asked.

Xi Chuan said: "Of course, everyone has something to learn. They all like me very much and even discuss cooking with me." Except for him, the chef in the restaurant is an old chef in his forties. Those who often take apprentices, seeing that Xi Chuan is so talented and open-minded and eager to learn, naturally have the urge to teach apprentices. In short, Xi Chuan still has a lot of things to do in the coming days.

Sun Youchen asked: "Do you think the restaurant's business will be good?"

"I don't know either. I'll know when it opens tomorrow. But according to Master Xie, he didn't plan to make money in the first three months."

Sun Youchen made a rough calculation in his mind, and the cost would be at least 30 to [-] a month, what a lot of pressure, but since he chose to open a restaurant in Beijing, he should have thought of this a long time ago, there are many opportunities in big cities, but also the pressure big.

It took half a month to recruit waiters for the Chuan Chuan shop, but they were too busy spinning like a spinning top. In the end, Zhu Xiaohui found a former colleague to solve the shortage of staff.Although it is difficult to find a job now, not many people are willing to do such a tiring and cheap job as a waiter in a restaurant. Moreover, they have gender restrictions, so recruiting is naturally more difficult.

According to Xi Chuan's instructions, Sun Youchen introduced a new dish every once in a while to keep it fresh and attract customers.After Xi Chuan left Rongcheng, Sun Youchen stopped updating Weibo, firstly because no one was cooking, and secondly because he was too busy to be busy at all, so they are not the fate of Internet celebrities.Many fans are waiting for the new video, Xi Yuan also called to ask Sun Youchen why he didn't update, even though her brother left, Sun Youchen can still continue to do it, he can't leave Xi Chuan, he won't know how to cook, and more What's more, there are recipes.

Sun Youchen was moved by Xi Yuan's words and decided to give it a try. However, it is not easy to shoot videos alone. He decided to post videos twice within a week, and he no longer showed his face, only filming the cooking process.Sun Youchen took out the recipe that Xi Chuan gave him, and found out the dishes that Xi Chuan had never cooked before, and planned to cook them one by one.At the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the shooting, no one was shooting, the camera could only be fixed in a certain place, and he couldn’t show his face. Some shots were not well shot, but they were indispensable, so he had to do it all over again. It was the first time to make a video by himself. , he made a stuffed green pepper three times before taking the shot he wanted, and he didn't rest all afternoon.

When editing this video, I was busy until three o’clock in the morning before finishing the work. The next day, I was not active in class and was unresponsive. When I was in physical education class, I was hit on the head by a basketball. Wang Xijun accompanied him to the side of the court to rest: "What are you doing?" Such heavy dark circles? She looks too indulgent, didn't she watch pornography last night?"

Sun Youchen yawned: "What, I'm editing a video."

"What video to cut?" Wang Xijun asked.

Sun Youchen then talked about how he shot a video to post on Weibo. He took out his mobile phone to look at Weibo, and found that there were thousands of comments and tens of thousands of likes. Liked it, he proudly showed off to Wang Xijun.

Wang Xijun watched the video with his mobile phone, and then asked, "You said you have cooked this dish three times?"

"Yes, I can't adjust the lens myself, so I can only shoot repeatedly."

"What about the cooked dishes?"

"Give them something to eat."

"Is it tasty?"

Sun Youchen smiled and nodded: "Of course, this dish is very simple."

Wang Xijun licked his lips: "How about this, Youchen, when you want to shoot a video in the future, I will help you shoot it, and just let me eat the dishes you cook, so that you don't have to shoot it several times in the future, and it will be troublesome to edit. "

Sun Youchen looked at him, and then smiled: "Okay, I cook and you come and take pictures, thank you!"

How could Sun Youchen not be happy to get a free labor.From this day on, the Weibo video is still updated, but except for the hands, the cook has never shown his face again.Someone with sharp eyes found out that the person who cooks has changed. It is no longer the chef, but the chef's apprentice.Sun Youchen saw that he couldn't hide it, so he deliberately posted on Weibo to clarify the matter, explaining that the chef went to work in other places, and he made the current videos.Although everyone has some regrets, they are also very interested in the little apprentice, because some fans have met Sun Youchen and said that he is also a handsome guy. Many people clamored for the little apprentice to show his face, but Sun Youchen ignored these requests. He agreed Chuan will not show up, not to mention the current relationship between him and Xi Chuan, it is natural that the more low-key the better, of course he will not ask for trouble.

Xi Chuan heard that Sun Youchen was still making videos, but he didn't say anything. After all, this method can also exercise his cooking skills, but he just asked him to pay attention to rest, not to be too tired, especially not to show his face.Sun Youchen agreed one by one.

As Xi Chuan thought, the business of the restaurant was very light at the beginning, and the daily attendance rate was only 30-100%. The basic expenses of a shop need at least [-] yuan. If the funds are insufficient, such a store will not be able to survive before it makes money.However, Xie Qinghua could hold his breath. After all, he was well-informed. When the National Day came, the restaurant finally ushered in the first peak passenger flow. Not to mention the occupancy rate was close to [-]%, and it also hosted two banquets.Xie Qinghua smiled, and finally saw hope. Xi Chuan also heaved a sigh of relief. As an employee and shareholder of the restaurant, he certainly hoped that the restaurant's business would flourish.

Sure enough, after the eleventh day, the business of the restaurant has picked up. The sales on non-working days are barely around [-] yuan, and it can even double on weekends.Although this sales volume is not high, it is not bad for a restaurant that has just opened. Word of mouth is accumulated over time. As time goes by, the business will get better and better.

What made Xie Qinghua even more satisfied was that after the eleventh day, people came to book banquets one after another. For restaurants, banquets are the real moneymakers. After all, the attendance rate and per capita consumption are there.

Xi Chuan also felt quite relieved, the few dishes he was in charge of had become the signature dishes of the restaurant, and the order rate was the batch with the highest order rate, which shows that Sichuan cuisine has a wide audience, and it also shows that his cooking level is high.
