Chinese chef

80 Solicitation

Fuxing Restaurant.

Executive chef's office.

Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe were sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Recently, Zhonghua Building's reputation is getting bigger and bigger!" Yan Shenghe sighed.

Pan Deming didn't answer, but quietly took a sip of tea from his teacup.

"Since the last crab garden banquet, Mu Feng made a scrambled egg with crab roe to steal the limelight, and the reputation of this Zhonghua Building is getting bigger and bigger every day.

Last time, I heard that they also participated in the Chinese Food Awards, and they also won a lot of applause.

In addition, a few days ago, Zhonghualou posted a video of Mu Feng carving lotus flowers with tofu in the water. Good guy, the Internet was full of information about Zhonghualou in those two days. "

Yan Shenghe was spitting all over the place, seeing that Pan Deming didn't respond at all, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Chef Pan, why didn't you react at all?" Yan Shenghe asked.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Pan Deming said as he looked at him with his lips slightly raised.

"This Zhonghua Building is getting better every day, so you're not in a hurry?" Yan Shenghe asked suspiciously.

"Is it urgent?" Pan Deming said with a smile.

Then, he put the teacups together, slowly poured boiling water on them, and washed the teacups one by one.

"Old Yan, do you know why so many people like this Kung Fu tea?" Pan Deming asked.

"..." Yan Shenghe looked at him speechlessly. He was talking about Zhonghua Building. Why did he suddenly bring up Kung Fu tea?

Seeing that Yan Shenghe didn't respond, Pan Deming smiled and continued: "Because when making and tasting tea, your mind can calm down. Only when you calm down can you think of a way."

As he spoke, he started to make tea, and then put a cup in front of Yan Shenghe: "Drink tea."

Yan Shenghe heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup, and sipped it.

After half an hour.

"Have you thought of any way?" Yan Shenghe asked.

"No." Pan Deming shook his head.

"Actually, it's very simple to bring down the Zhonghua Building, and there are many ways. You, you are too pedantic. If you ask me, just ask people to go to the Zhonghua Building to check the sanitation. I see if Shi Nancheng can open it." Go down." Yan Shenghe said.

"You want to bring down Zhonghua Building that much?" Pan Deming glanced at him and asked.

"Hasn't it always been your idea to bring down Zhonghualou?" Yan Shenghe was stunned.

Pan Deming fell silent.

"Actually, I don't know what I'm thinking." Pan Deming said lightly, "Old Yan, do you still think about what happened in Zhonghua Building before?"

After hearing Pan Deming's words, Yan Shenghe was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he nodded: "Occasionally, sometimes I wonder if we would feel sorry for Brother Xin when we left Zhonghua Building."

"At that time, Brother Xin was gone, so it was useless for us to stay in Zhonghua Building! Besides, we didn't leave immediately after Brother Xin passed away, didn't we wait for almost a year before leaving? Could it be that Brother Xin is gone, We still have to work in Zhonghua Building for the rest of our lives? We were just trying to have a better development!" Pan Deming glanced at him and said coldly.

"Yes, yes, we are just for better development, and it is impossible to really work for a lifetime!" Yan Shenghe nodded vigorously, and his voice suddenly increased, as if it was the only way to comfort himself.

In fact, at the beginning, Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe had bonus shares in Zhonghua Building. In addition to their salary, they would also receive a certain amount of dividends every year. Of course, the shares were not many.

Moreover, part-time work and being a boss are two completely different feelings, and part-time work for others is always inferior to being your own boss.

It is understandable that the two of them want to leave Zhonghualou and open a restaurant by themselves, but they also took a large number of backbones with them when they left Zhonghualou.

Doing so would be somewhat unkind.

At that time, their actions undoubtedly made the Zhonghualou even worse because of Shi Chunxin's accidental death.

It's just that they didn't think so much at that time. If they didn't take away a group of capable men, it would be a joke just because the two of them came out to run the restaurant.

They don't want to spend another ten years training a batch of chefs from scratch.

That's too slow, it's better to continue working in Zhonghua Building.

Since he came out to do it himself, he had to do better than he did in Zhonghua Building, otherwise it would be a joke.

And to do it well, it needs a lot of talents, so they took away the backbone of Zhonghualou because of the situation.

Over the past ten years, they have comforted themselves in this way in their hearts.

No matter what the truth is, they must comfort themselves in this way, otherwise the guilt will always weigh them down!

Because it was Pan Deming who suggested leaving Zhonghua Building, the pressure in his heart was greater than that of Yan Shenghe.

If he is really a cruel person, it may be much easier.But he is not such a person.

He is an extremely contradictory person. On the one hand, he hopes that Zhonghualou will lose, so that it can prove that he was right in choosing to leave Zhonghualou.

But on the other hand, he hopes that Zhonghualou can survive, because in this way he can comfort himself that Zhonghualou did not die because he took people away, which proves that what he did back then had little impact on Zhonghualou. Feeling less guilty.

If it weren't for his extremely contradictory psychology, Zhonghua Building would have disappeared long ago.

As Yan Shenghe said, they have too many methods to make Zhonghua Building disappear.

----

"This Shi Nancheng is really annoying enough, and that Mu Feng, really..." Yan Shenghe said with a look of disgust.

"Speaking of Mu Feng, was his skill really bad back then? No matter how I think about it, I feel that it is impossible for him to improve his skill to this level in such a short period of time. Even if he is really talented, It's impossible to be so exaggerated, right? Could it be that he is really a master of cooking?" Pan Deming looked at Yan Shenghe with some doubts and asked.

"I can't figure this out either. When he was in the back kitchen, he was indeed nothing special, just an ordinary junior chef.

Besides, if his cooking skills are so good, why did he come to Fuxing Restaurant as an apprentice?This is unreasonable! " Yan Shenghe said.

"If his original cooking skills were not good, it would be unreasonable for him to improve his cooking skills so quickly in such a short period of time after leaving Fuxing!" Pan Deming took out his mobile phone and searched for Mufeng's video of carving lotus flowers in water. , After opening the video, he handed it to Yan Shenghe and said, "Look, his knife skills, how can a junior chef do it?"

Yan Shenghe took the phone and glanced at it, when a message came.

"There is information." Yan Shenghe handed the phone back to Pan Deming.

Pan Deming took a look at the phone and said with a smile, "We can try Mu Feng's skills tonight."

Yan Shenghe looked at him suspiciously after hearing this.

"Before, I asked someone to use several WeChat accounts to draw lots on Suji's official account. I didn't expect so many people to draw lots at Suji every day. It took me a long time to get one, but I finally got one today. I Ask someone to go to Suji to bring back the food tonight. Let's try how good Mufeng's craftsmanship is." Pan Deming said.

"Why try Mufeng's skills?" Yan Shenghe asked.

"There are too many people making hype now, although Zhonghua Building is becoming more and more popular now, but it is still not sure whether Mu Feng has real talents.

After all, in such a short period of time, it is too bizarre to improve cooking skills so quickly.If it's just hype, then we don't care about Zhonghua Lou.Anyway, relying on hype cannot last for too long. " Pan Deming said.

"Then what if Mu Feng really has real talent and learning?" Yan Shenghe asked.

"Then recruit him. As long as he is gone, Zhonghua Building will be back to the way it was before." Pan Deming said.

"Draw the bottom of the pot? Are you planning to let him come back to Fuxing? I drove him away in person. If he comes back now, then I won't be able to control the people in the back kitchen." Yan Shenghe was stunned.

"Don't worry! I won't let him come back to Fuxing. Otherwise, the back kitchen will definitely have a lot of people's hearts, and the influence will be too great." Pan Deming said with a smile.

"Then you said you want to recruit him?" Yan Shenghe was even more confused.

"I'm going to fund him to open a restaurant." Pan Deming said.

"Funding? Doesn't he have a restaurant now? And there are still so many diners, and now he has to draw lots to eat at Suji! If he wants to expand the scale, he should have expanded already? Anyway, he has a base of diners." Yan Sheng and said.

"How do you know he's not using hunger marketing? Besides, it's easy to open a small restaurant, but it's not just about cooking if you want to open a big restaurant.

Maybe he wants to use Zhonghua Building as a stepping stone, not only to learn management experience, but also to use Zhonghua Building's reputation to start his own brand.

I don't believe that he would be willing to be just a chef, the more capable he is, the less willing he is to be inferior to others.

At that time, I will provide him with all the supporting measures and all necessary relevant personnel.He only needs to cook the dishes well to get 50.00% of the shares. I don't believe he is not tempted.

Anyway, he has now gained fame through Zhonghua Building.He has nothing to lose by leaving Zhonghua Building now.Work or be a boss, I believe he should be smart enough to know how to choose. "

"50.00%?" Yan Shenghe blinked, "Did I hear you right? So much?"

"A lot? I think it's okay. If his cooking skills are really that good, 50.00% of the shares won't matter! Anyway, isn't the most important thing in a restaurant is the chef?" Pan Deming smiled indifferently and said.

Yan Shenghe nodded after listening, then paused and said, "I still don't believe his cooking skills are really that good!"

Although, when Mu Feng left Fu Xing, Yan Shenghe ate Mu Feng's dishes once, but too much time had passed.

In addition, just one dish is not enough to change his view of Mu Feng, even though many recent events have shown from the side that Mu Feng's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary.

However, he still couldn't believe it until he tasted Mu Feng's dishes himself.

After all, Mu Feng's culinary improvement was too weird.

"Won't you know if it's really powerful?" Pan Deming said with a smile.

"What's he cooking tonight?" Yan Shenghe asked.

After looking at Su Ji's official account, Pan Deming said, "Sea crab glutinous rice porridge, red fish fillet, and a special dish is boiled water row with scallion oil."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "I've never seen anyone open a restaurant like this. You have to draw lots first when you go to eat, and you have to draw cards if you want to eat special dishes there, and you can't order freely. Hunger marketing."

That night, around 08:30, the people sent by Pan Deming came to Fuxing Restaurant with three portions of Suji's meals.

Because on weekdays, Pan Deming would occasionally ask people to go to other restaurants to order food and take it back to Fuxing to taste, so as to know themselves and the enemy, so the employees of Fuxing didn't pay much attention when they saw someone coming in with takeaways.

Except for Bai Jingyang, he saw it and felt curious, so he followed to Pan Deming's office.

"Hello, Mr. Pan, here are three meals for Su Ji." said the young man running errands.

This young man is not from Fuxing Restaurant, but a person who Pan Deming specially found on the Internet to run errands for others.

After all, it's going to Su Ji, so it's better not to let the back kitchen know about it.

"Did you get a special dish?" Pan Deming asked.

"Yes." The young man who ran the errands nodded.

"Wait a minute, I'll send you the errand and meal money." Pan Deming said.

At this time, Bai Jingyang's voice came from the door.

"Pan Chef, where did you get someone to get delicious food again?" Bai Jingyang walked into the office while talking.

"Come and try it and you'll know." Pan Deming said to Bai Jingyang with a smile while manipulating the mobile phone to send the fee to the young man.

After the young man who ran the errands received the money, he left.

"Which restaurant's food is here?" Bai Jingyang walked over and looked at the bag containing the lunch box.

Yan Shenghe called someone to bring up the bowls and chopsticks.

Then, he took out the lunch boxes in the bag and opened them one by one.

"I'll tell you after I try it." Yan Shenghe said.

"Red fish fillets, scallion oil boiled water, sea crab glutinous rice porridge." Bai Jingyang smelled the aroma of vegetables, "It tastes good and looks good."

After a while, the waiter came to the office with three sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Yan Shenghe first filled a bowl of porridge for Pan Deming and Bai Jingyang, and then filled a bowl for himself.

The glutinous rice porridge tastes sweet and smooth, and slowly flows from the tip of the tongue to the back, awakening the sleeping taste buds bit by bit.

They are in the catering industry, and they have to have dinner at about five o'clock in the afternoon. It has been more than three hours now, which happens to be the time to replenish energy.

The sweet glutinous rice porridge is boiled with sea crabs, which adds a fresh flavor. The rice porridge with crab meat will inadvertently bring a little surprise.

I thought it was just porridge at first, but after tasting it, I could taste a little crab meat paste. Although the crab meat paste is small, it is like the finishing touch. It immediately improves the taste of the whole bowl of glutinous rice porridge by more than one level.

Bai Jingyang drank a whole bowl of glutinous rice porridge with sea crabs in one breath, and praised: "This porridge is uniquely cooked and full of flavor. It should be made by breaking all the sea crab shells into small pieces and putting them in sandbags to boil together, otherwise the crabs The smell will not be so strong. Which restaurant's rice porridge is this? The taste is no worse than our lucky star!"

After hearing what he said, Pan Deming nodded. The sea crab glutinous rice porridge tastes really good.

Based on this pot of porridge alone, Pan Deming already concluded that no matter how bad Mu Feng's craftsmanship was, it wouldn't be too bad.

"Which restaurant's porridge is this?" Bai Jingyang asked again.

"Try these two dishes first." Yan Shenghe said.

Bai Jingyang had no choice but to put aside his curiosity for the time being, and try the remaining [Red Pork Fish Slices] and [Scallion Oil Boiled Pork] first.

This [Red Grass Fish Fillet] uses snapper meat. Because of the red grains, it looks a wine red, which is really beautiful.

Bai Jingyang took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

The fish meat is slippery in the mouth, first there is a faint aroma of rice wine, and the tongue is a little spicy, which is the taste of chili and pepper.

It's still slightly sour, tasted like black vinegar.

Chew lightly, because the sea bream meat has been deep-fried before frying, so the tenderness inside is locked.

The teeth bite open the crispy meat on the outer layer of the fish fillet, and the sweetness of the sea bream itself comes out from the inside.

The two tastes are mixed together, it is by no means as simple as 1+1, the two levels of taste are constantly reconciled in the mouth, bringing a very graceful taste.

Bai Jingyang nodded while eating, and praised: "This fish is also good."

Yan Shenghe also nodded secretly in his heart.

This is the second time he has eaten the dishes made by Mu Feng himself. He didn't savor the dishes carefully the first time, and it has been a long time, so he doesn't remember very clearly.

However, after tasting it this time, he has to admit that Mu Feng's cooking skills are really good. Not to mention the glutinous rice porridge just now, the taste of this red fish fillet can be made like this, which requires a high level of cooking skills of.

The three of them tried that dish [Scallion Oil Boiled Water Pao] again.

The taste of the pork ribs is very rich, because the sauce used in this dish has a lot of auxiliary ingredients, including garlic, onion, parsley, celery, chives, lemongrass, grass fruit, salt, cooking wine and so on.

After stirring all the auxiliary ingredients evenly, put the ribs in it to marinate for 30 minutes, and then steam them in a pot.

Moreover, when it is put into the pot, it is steamed with ginger, garlic and pepper.

Therefore, the taste of this [scallion oil boiled water row] has endless aftertaste, and every bite has a different taste.

----

"Okay, I've tried all three dishes, now can you tell me which restaurant's dishes are these?" Bai Jingyang asked.

"Su Ji." Yan Shenghe replied.

"Su Ji? Which restaurant is this?" Bai Jingyang couldn't remember for a while.

"Mu Feng." Pan Deming said.

"Oh, yes, that Mu Feng is not only the chef of Zhonghua Building, he also opened a small shop called Suji, I saw it on the Internet." Bai Jingyang nodded and said.

After a pause, he said to Yan Shenghe: "Old Yan, you were mistaken at the beginning! Mu Feng's culinary skills should not be underestimated!"

Yan Shenghe glanced at him speechlessly.

"What should we do now?" Yan Shenghe asked Pan Deming.

"Let's go find him tomorrow morning." Pan Deming said.

"Are you going to find Mu Feng?" Bai Jingyang asked.

"Yes, let's see if we can recruit him." Pan Deming said.

"Then Lao Yan can't go." Bai Jingyang said.

"Why?" Yan Shenghe looked at him suspiciously.

"You were the one who drove him away. If you went, can we still talk about it?" Bai Jingyang said with a smile.

"..." Yan Shenghe rolled his eyes at him.

"Then I'll go by myself tomorrow!" Pan Deming nodded and said.

"Okay, I'm going back to the back kitchen." After Bai Jingyang finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the office.

For Bai Jingyang's indifferent look, Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe are already used to it.

Although Bai Jingyang is the old man who left Zhonghua Building with them, he has no desire for power at all.

Bai Jingyang's cooking skills are second only to Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe, and even surpass them both in some special dishes.

Therefore, Bai Jingyang's status in Fuxing Restaurant can be said to be second only to Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe.Moreover, he owns the most shares in Fuxing besides Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe.

But he put all his attention on cooking, and he ignored management and marketing.

It is also strange to say that the reason why Bai Jingyang left Zhonghua Building with Pan Deming was not because he had any idea of ​​becoming a boss.

He's just used to being with Pan Deming and the others every day, and getting used to doing things by their side.

He is an extremely unsociable person, in today's words is social phobia.

So, for him, wherever Pan Deming and Yan Shenghe are, he will follow wherever they are, so that he will feel more relaxed.

Therefore, he didn't have any pressure in his heart because of leaving Zhonghua Building.

Over the years, he was probably the one who had the most relaxed life among the three.

After tasting Mu Feng's craftsmanship, Pan Deming has already made a plan.

He planned to go to Su Ji to find Mu Feng early tomorrow morning.

Before that, he had asked people to inquire clearly, and he knew that Mu Feng usually stayed at Su Ji every morning.

Although, he still couldn't figure out why Mu Feng's cooking skills improved so fast.

However, these are not important, as long as he recruits Mu Feng, then Mu Feng's cooking skills can be used by him.
