Chapter 349 Customer Complaint, You Two Go Out and Apologize
"What if she wants to trick us? Fire us if she fails?" Wan Yuyue said sarcastically as she cooked oil. "Junior sister, that smile doesn't look good. There must be something fishy going on!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are being given this mission in a critical moment. Junior sister must want to train us!" Yun Yongyuan still looked excited.
Zhao Xiaojing, who was standing by, heard their conversation and didn't dare to look up at them, for fear that she would burst out laughing due to tears.
Half a minute later, the stir-fried pork liver came out of the pot and was pushed out by Wu Kaile along with other dishes. Zhao Xiaojing's dish was also ready. Seeing that Wan Yuyue's shredded potatoes were about to be served, she put the remaining menu in front of her in front of Yun Yongyuan and stood aside waiting for Wan Yuyue's dish.
"Is this temperature okay?"
"Isn't there enough vinegar?"
"Oh, I think I fried it too long. Do you want to re-fry it?"
"Junior sister, say something!"
When Wan Yuyue saw Zhao Xiaojing standing over, she seemed to have found a backbone. She kept asking questions while cooking, but Zhao Xiaojing just smiled, as if she was just standing aside casually.
Zhao Xiaojing didn't say a word until Wan Yuyue finished stir-frying her shredded potatoes. Seeing this, Wan Yuyue put the pot on another unlit stove, scooped out a few shredded potatoes, tasted them, paused for a moment, looked up at Zhao Xiaojing, and then quickly threw the shredded potatoes away, not even leaving them in the waste area. Then she quickly cleaned the pot, heated up the oil, and started over.
Zhao Xiaojing twitched her lips and breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. She knew to redo the dish if it wasn't good enough. Otherwise, if this dish was really served, not only would Wan Yuyue be scolded, but she would probably be scolded too.
In fact, Wan Yuyue usually cooks much better dishes than the one just now, but today, perhaps because she was nervous or too dependent on Zhao Xiaojing to control the quality, when Zhao Xiaojing stood over, her attention was almost entirely on Zhao Xiaojing, and she was distracted from cooking.
When the dish of fried potatoes came out, Zhao Xiaojing didn't seem to look at it carefully, but she actually scanned it with the quality inspection module at the first moment, and it was simply horrible.
Although she wanted to show their true state to Master Gu for inspection, so she deliberately hid it from them, but if Wan Yuyue really dared to put the dish of shredded potatoes on a plate, Zhao Xiaojing was afraid that she would not have the courage to serve it.
A minute later, Wan Yuyue's shredded potatoes came out of the pot again, and this time they looked much better. As soon as Wan Yuyue spread the shredded potatoes on the rice plate on the side, Zhao Xiaojing took the plate and left the kitchen.
"Master Gu, have you been waiting for a long time? Come, my senior sister just cooked it."
In the front hall, Gu Shanfeng was sitting at the table tapping his fingers. When he saw Zhao Xiaojing coming over with spicy and sour potato shreds, he quickly lowered his head to look at his phone.
"Two and a half minutes."
"What?" Zhao Xiaojing also looked down and saw that Master Gu's mobile phone was using a stopwatch to count time.
"It's been two and a half minutes since Xiaoyun's stir-fried pork liver was served. Xiaosu must have ordered these two dishes together. If they were stir-fried normally, the hot and sour potato shreds should be ready half a minute after the stir-fried pork liver is served.
Besides, there were only a few tables of customers who hadn't eaten yet, so there wasn't a backlog of orders. "Did she mess up and have to redo it?" Chef Gu's sharp eyes swept over.
What a discerning eye! Zhao Xiaojing was madly impressed. "Yes, but I didn't tell them you were coming, and I didn't provide any help. They just cooked it and sent it to me, so she didn't re-fry it just for you. Try it first."
"Okay." Gu Shanfeng's expression relaxed. He picked up the shredded potatoes with chopsticks and tasted them.
"Not bad. It's sour, spicy, crisp, and refreshing, and the heat is perfectly controlled. She's made some progress." Gu Shanfeng took a bite, satisfaction in his eyes. "Although at first glance, her progress is a little smaller than Xiaoyun's, but she hasn't been in your shop as long as Xiaoyun, and she's the type who tends to get stuck in a rut and stick to her own way. I'm surprised she's achieved what she's achieved now. Xiao Zhao, you really know how to train people!"
"No, I'm just supervising. She's actually very talented and can handle many things very quickly."
"She understood it immediately, but she wouldn't listen to a word I said until I got to the point where she was convinced!" Gu Shanfeng complained angrily.
Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help laughing. As expected of an apprentice whom she had taught for nearly five years, her evaluation was very insightful and without any exaggeration.
"So how's Senior Brother Yun's cooking?" After hearing Gu Shanfeng's evaluation of Wan Yuyue, Zhao Xiaojing became curious about Gu Shanfeng's opinion of Yun Yongyuan.
"Xiao Yun is also good. He has learned cooking very well. Although he is not as clever as Xiao Wan, he knows how to learn the skills seriously. The dishes he makes are always solid and have lived up to my expectations of him."
Zhao Xiaojing nodded, her mind clear.
This means that Yun Yongyuan's progress was expected and was accumulated step by step. It did not exceed his expectations, nor did it disappoint him. It was the progress he should have made through normal practice.
It was a very objective evaluation, and he didn't harbor much resentment towards Wan Yuyue. However, Zhao Xiaojing still felt that Gu Shanfeng preferred Wan Yuyue a little more in his heart.
"I'll call them out. You two can talk while I go backstage to prepare the remaining dishes and the staff meals. I went out to learn from the chef yesterday and developed two new dishes. I'll ask the chef to give me some suggestions later." Zhao Xiaojing stood up and winked mischievously at Gu Shanfeng. "I'll tell them that a customer has complained and wants to see the chef in person. I'll ask them to come over and explain themselves. They'll definitely be shocked then."
"Haha!" Gu Shanfeng raised his head and laughed heartily, "You young people are still full of clever ideas! Let's do it this way!"
Zhao Xiaojing walked away with a smile, walked to the kitchen door, took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her expression, and walked into the kitchen with a frown on her face. "How many dishes are left to cook?"
"There are still two copies. What's wrong?" Wan Yuyue asked cautiously. She had been watching Zhao Xiaojing's expression since she came in. She saw that her brows were furrowed, and her usually lively personality was restrained.
"I'll cook. You two go to seats 1 and 8. Customers have complained about the two dishes I just cooked. You two should go over there and apologize in person."
"Complaint? Did I fry my pork liver for too long?" Yun Yongyuan immediately put down the pot he had just cleaned.
Wan Yuyue widened her eyes without saying anything. After being stunned for two seconds, she quickly took the three fresh vegetables out of the pot.
"I don't know. You can go out and take a look for yourselves." Zhao Xiaojing walked over, picked up the menu in front of the two of them, and lowered her head. While cooking, she bit her lips hard to hold back her laughter.
Wan Yuyue glanced at Zhao Xiaojing, hurriedly put the three fresh vegetables in the cart, tugged at Yun Yongyuan's sleeve, and the two walked towards the hall one after the other. When they reached the door, they both stopped and took a deep breath.
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Zhao Xiaojing didn't stop laughing until the two of them completely walked out of the kitchen.
