Chapter 190 Call the two apprentices over

He had a quarrel with the head chef and quit his job in anger, but his apprentice is still working in the western restaurant.

Compared to the newbies, his two apprentices are easier to use and have been working in that Western restaurant for two years.

I don't know if they are willing to come.

Li Xiangdong wanted to write to them and ask after he was settled.

The three of them came out of the train station. The house had already been rented. Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan took Li Xiangdong directly to the dormitory. Li Xiangdong was a little surprised. "You have all the bedding?"

Lin Shuyin smiled, "Yes, I knew you were coming, so I went to the department store to buy it right away."

There are not only bedding, but also a washbasin.

Shen Guannan also said, "You have come all the way here, we must prepare these basic things for you."

Li Xiangdong was touched and felt that his new boss was a very nice person.

"Sorry for the trouble," he said.

Lin Shuyin smiled, "It's nothing, just buying some bedding. Your brother-in-law has booked a hotel, let's go eat."

The three of them put down their luggage and went to eat. Of course, they went to Shen's Xiaochao, the restaurant opened by Brother Shen and his wife.

Shen Guannan booked a small private room upstairs. After ordering the dishes, Lin Shuyin went downstairs to get the drinks. Yang Caijie asked, "Is that the chef just now?"

The second brother told them this when he booked the seat.

Lin Shuyin nodded, "Yes, from Hai City."

Yang Caijie was surprised, "From Haishi, such a far place."

Lin Shuyin, "I asked around but couldn't find a local Western chef. Guannan asked in the army, and then we found the brother-in-law of the deputy chief of staff of the brigade, who is a Western chef, and he just resigned from his previous restaurant, so we poached him."

Yang Caijie said, "There are indeed few Western-style chefs, and only Lao Mo's restaurant has one."

Lin Shuyin, "Isn't Lao Mo's restaurant Russian food, sister-in-law?"

Yang Caijie, "Oh yes, Russian food."

Lin Shuyin, "Is Caiyun's store open? I heard she is going to open a store."

Yang Caijie, "It's under renovation. It should be open in the middle of next month."

Lin Shuyin: "That's great. My western restaurant won't open until June."

Opening a hotel is much more troublesome than opening a clothing store.

Yang Caijie said, "Take your time. There's no need to rush. By the way, Shuyin, did my elder sister borrow money from you guys?"

Lin Shuyin shook her head and smiled, "No, what money did you borrow? I borrowed 2,000 from my brother and sister-in-law. I was so poor that I had to borrow money from others."

Yang Caijie, "I borrowed 2,000 from us."

"We said we won't open a big supermarket anymore, we'll open a small one instead."

Lin Shuyin, "Small ones are good, but big ones are risky."

Yang Caijie agreed, "That's right. Besides, they have only one daughter, who is already in college. She won't have to worry about finding a job in the future. They can just take their time."

"What's the hurry?"

Lin Shuyin: "Yes, take your time."

We didn't talk much, after a few words Lin Shuyin went upstairs.

The couple had dinner with Li Xiangdong. When they came out of the hotel, Lin Shuyin said, "Xiangdong, you can just eat here for three meals a day from now on."

Li Xiangdong waved his hands, "No need, sister, I can cook for myself. It would cost so much to eat out every day."

Lin Shuyin smiled, "I was wondering, are you bothered by being alone? The owner of this hotel is not someone else, but your brother-in-law and his wife. They are family."

Li Xiangdong understood, "It turns out that it was opened by my eldest brother and his wife."

Lin Shuyin, "So, if you don't want to cook in the future, just come to their house to eat. I've already told them."

Li Xiangdong, "Okay sister."

"By the way, sister, when are you and brother-in-law free? I'll cook for you and we can discuss the menu."

As a chef, you must let your boss taste your cooking skills.

Lin Shuyin, "I'm free on weekends"

Shen Guannan: "On the weekend."

Li Xiangdong, "Okay." Today is Wednesday, and there are still two days until the weekend.

He should use this time to get familiar with Beijing.

After leaving the hotel, Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan took him to see the Western restaurant that was under renovation.

After that, he took another stroll and let Li Xiangdong go back to rest.

Li Xiangdong wrote letters to his two apprentices, hoping that they could come over so that the three of them could get to know each other better and work more skillfully together.

Li Xiangdong was bored and alone, and the western restaurant was still under renovation, so the next day he went to Shen's Chao Restaurant for dinner, and then went out for a walk.

Mainly go to the vegetable market. As a chef, you must be familiar with the vegetable market.

On the weekend, Li Xiangdong prepared a large table of Western food for Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan. Siyu was very happy, "Mom, there are so many delicious foods."

Li Xiangdong, "Brother-in-law, you guys try it."

Without a knife and fork, Li Xiangdong considerately cut the steak for them.

Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan tasted each dish and nodded, "Hmm, delicious."

Neither of them is a food critic, so they can't say anything other than that it's delicious.

Si Yu said, "Uncle Xiangdong, the food you cook is delicious."

The boss and his family were satisfied, and Li Xiangdong finally put his mind at ease. He had not learned cooking for eleven years in vain, he had the ability.

The greatest recognition for a chef is to finish eating the dishes he cooks. Lin Shuyin and the other two finished all the meal prepared by Li Xiangdong.

There was no salad left.

After the meal, Li Xiangdong discussed with Lin Shuyin the menu of the western restaurant, as well as the kitchen staff and front of house staff.

To open a restaurant, you have to recruit good people several months in advance, especially kitchen staff.

"Sister, I wrote a letter to my apprentices. I told them to call your house if they want to come."

"The letter will be delivered around next week, and they will call at that time, so please pay attention, brother-in-law."

Lin Shuyin: "Okay."

A week later, Li Xiangdong's apprentice received a letter from their master. After reading the letter, the two discussed whether to go or not.

To be honest, they followed their master for two years. After their master left, no one else was willing to take them with them. If they continued to work in this store, they would probably have to do odd jobs for a long time.

So the two of them discussed it together, went back to discuss with their families and decided to go north to Beijing.

They went to Jing City and heard from their master that it was a newly opened Western restaurant that was still under renovation. His master was the head chef and they would be half chefs.

Li Xiangdong's two apprentices packed their bags and came to Beijing.

The person Lin Shuyin and Li Xiangdong met at the train station was Su Mingqi Yu. They were both young, around 18 or 19 years old.

Lin Shuyin was delighted, "Oh, my family has two more great generals."

After hearing this, Su Ming and Qi Yu felt a little embarrassed, because they were just apprentices.

He first took the two of them to put their luggage, and then took them to have dinner. Then Lin Shuyin went back and let Li Xiangdong take her around.

The western restaurant was still under renovation. Li Xiangdong took Su Ming and Qi Yu to visit Beijing for a few days. After they got familiar with the environment, there was nothing else to do.

He went to help Brother Shen and Sister-in-law Shen. After half a month, Li Xiangdong became familiar with them.

Exchange cooking skills with Brother Shen.
