Chapter 233: The Words of Tigers and Wolves, Only You Dare
Besides, Geng Mingyan, Hou Guihua and Lv Hongwen all receive commissions in the store. Lv Hongwen received 6,300 yuan for delivering food last month, and Xiaozhi calculated that Geng Mingyan and Hou Guihua's salaries were at least 7,000 yuan. It doesn't make sense that Yun Yongyuan, the chef in the kitchen, would still receive 5,000 yuan.
Therefore, Zhao Xiaojing directly generated two salary options based on Xiaozhi's salary plan: one was to give him a base salary plus commission, calculated starting this month; the other was to give him a lump sum of 8,000 yuan, with bonuses based on the month's performance.
"You decide, junior sister. I just want to practice my skills with you. You gave me the opportunity and tried your best to teach me. I don't have any requirements. Just do as you wish." Yun Yongyuan said with clear eyes after listening to what Zhao Xiaojing meant.
"Besides, I've only been here for a short time, and my cooking skills have improved so quickly. I can't thank you enough. You've even given me a raise once..."
"Then we'll just see what happens. Senior Brother Yun is an honest man. We can give him any amount. It would be nice to just give him two dollars when the time comes." Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing wanted to persuade her but didn't know where to start, Su Yuchen smiled darkly and pulled her sleeve.
"Comb sister, two dollars a month is not enough, two dollars a day is fine, at least it has to cover my subway fare." Yun Yongyuan said seriously.
Zhao Xiaojing simply waved her hand and announced that she was going home after get off work.
Apart from cooking, everything else is nothing to Yun Yongyuan. What else is there to talk about?
As for the salary, Xiaozhi will calculate it and give it to the plan that pays more. Although Yun Yongyuan doesn't care, she can't be an unscrupulous boss.
…
The next morning, Zhao Xiaojing called Gu Shanfeng.
I originally thought that Wan Yuyue would be difficult to invite, and I thought that Gu Shanfeng could recommend her from other disciples. However, as soon as Gu Shanfeng heard what Zhao Xiaojing said, he agreed readily as if he couldn't wait.
"Then I'll ask her to go over tomorrow. If you're in a hurry, she can go this afternoon. No, now is fine too."
"It's not that urgent. It depends on the schedule of your restaurant. Let her come over after you have made the arrangements there." Zhao Xiaojing said.
"Then tomorrow! I can go one day later, but this girl will get angry with me!" Gu Shanfeng gritted his teeth in frustration.
"I thought Master Gu wanted to keep her. I was thinking that if you didn't want to, you could recommend another disciple?" Zhao Xiaojing asked in confusion.
I remember that the last time I called Gu Shanfeng to ask for someone, Gu Shanfeng scolded her because Wan Yuyue rushed to come. At that time, Zhao Xiaojing thought that Wan Yuyue must be the one Gu Shanfeng wanted to keep in his restaurant. Therefore, this time when asking for someone, Zhao Xiaojing only mentioned Wan Yuyue tentatively. She never expected that Gu Shanfeng would agree so readily.
"I actually wanted to keep her. I originally wanted to train her and let her become a cold dish chef first, but ever since she found out you were short of people, her heart has already flown away! If you don't ask me for her, I'm afraid I'll ask you if you want her in a few days!
It's true that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up, just like my daughter!" Gu Shanfeng was angry.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing laughed unkindly and talked to Yun Yongyuan beside her about the news that Wan Yuyue would come to work tomorrow.
Zhao Xiaojing was just muttering about Wan Yuyue's obsession with this place, which had Master Gu furious. Yun Yongyuan chuckled. "I send her your cooking and our staff meals every day. The other day when we had hot pot, I recorded the entire hot pot setup for her, explaining the flavors and the ingredients you used in detail."
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned.
It turned out that the information was provided by an insider. The call of a foodie is really powerful.
The next morning, Wan Yuyue reported to the store in high spirits. "Junior sister, I've been abandoned. Master said he doesn't want to see me anymore and told me not to appear in front of him. You have to be responsible for me!"
"Then you will cry, set off firecrackers and eat a few big meals?" Yun Yongyuan sneered.
Zhao Xiaojing glanced helplessly at Wan Yuyue, whose face was filled with unconcealable happiness because of being 'abandoned', and immediately understood Gu Shanfeng's speechless mood.
But jokes aside, when Wan Yuyue started cooking seriously, Zhao Xiaojing immediately understood why Gu Shanfeng wanted to keep her.
The dish Wan Yuyue tried was spicy and sour potato shreds. Unlike Yun Yongyuan who was cautious and added seasonings in small amounts multiple times, Wan Yuyue was bold and added the seasonings all at once based on her feeling, making it flow smoothly. After stir-frying over high heat, she directly flipped the wok and served.
When Zhao Xiaojing tasted it, she found it sour, spicy, crispy and refreshing, and the seasoning was precise, except that she added half a spoonful of vinegar and took the dish out of the pot a little too early, so the heat was not enough.
When customers started to arrive at noon, Zhao Xiaojing demonstrated it as usual and briefly explained it to Wan Yuyue.
When it was Wan Yuyue's turn and there were fewer customers, she tried to cook. Zhao Xiaojing was surprised to find that Wan Yuyue remembered 70% of the details she pointed out, and imitated her seasoning almost exactly. Her strong comprehension ability made Zhao Xiaojing look at her with admiration.
Although being a chef is very dependent on experience, and the longer the experience, the more precise the skills in the kitchen, but it also depends on talent. People with strong talent are born with a feeling for cooking, and with just that little feeling, they can surpass many people who start from the same starting line.
Wan Yuyue has a surprisingly precise feeling for cooking that she can't quite explain. As long as you explain the details clearly, she can make a rough idea based on her feeling.
"Junior sister, you have made so much progress in the month I was away!" Yun Yongyuan took some time to watch Zhao Xiaojing instruct Wan Yuyue, and also tasted the dish that Wan Yuyue had just cooked. He was surprised by it.
"If I hadn't gotten here first, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with you! Master is actually willing to let you go?"
"I told my master that people who want to cheat cannot be kept. They are in Cao's camp but their hearts are with Han. Every day I stay in the restaurant is a free day to train talents for Junior Sister Zhao's restaurant!" Wan Yuyue raised her eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly.
"...You are the only one who dares to speak such cruel words." Yun Yongyuan held it in for a long time before squeezing out eight words. Zhao Xiaojing was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Because Yun Yongyuan had a history of reducing his own salary, Wan Yuyue also bargained for 1,000 yuan right from the start. Her request was exactly the same as Yun Yongyuan's, which was just to cook, cook more often, and cook every day.
Zhao Xiaojing almost doubted her life after hearing this. What kind of ancient Greek gods were these? They treated their salaries like nothing, and she almost started to think she was an exploitative boss.
With Wan Yuyue joining, the preparation time was shortened again. Even though Xiaozhi once again increased the amount of preparation and the amount of marinating for the fried skewers was repeatedly increased, the kitchen was well organized and calm.
One day, Zhao Xiaojing was watching Wan Yuyue cooking and pointing out that Wan Yuyue had a low tolerance for error and it was difficult to adjust the seasoning because she was too smooth, when an unexpected customer came to the restaurant.
"Mirror, look who's here!" Su Yuchen shouted and lifted the door curtain.
