Chapter 70 Qiao Junxian Returns Home
Yue Ning prepared for the dinner, and took the waiters and chef apprentices on duty to patrol the tables after dinner.
They went to the private room on the second floor, which had not been cleaned up yet. What was it like when the guests left?
Yue Ning asked: "Have the guests packed their food?"
"No." said the private room waiter.
Yue Ning looked at the room supervisor and said, "Sister Zhen, please tell me what you saw first."
Baohua Building did not have this system and custom before.
No matter how the master teaches or how the apprentice learns, everyone knows that if they can learn Yue Baohua's skills, it will be enough for them to live on for a lifetime.
Things have been different since Yue Ning came. Yue Ning pays attention to communicating with guests and tries his best to satisfy guests' requests as long as they are not excessive, so that guests come with excitement and leave with satisfaction.
"Ningning, as you requested, we added two more tables today. There were too many guests, so I didn't patrol the tables in time during the meal." Sister Zhen started to make excuses.
Yue Ning said gloomily: "This is not about finding excuses, this is about discovering problems. You just need to describe the phenomenon on the desktop to me truthfully, that's all."
"There were a lot of dirty paper towels on the dining table, and they weren't cleaned up in time. Bones were piled up in the bone dish, and they weren't changed in time. And in the ashtray," Sister Zhen counted them, "there are nine cigarette butts."
"Does anyone else have anything to add?" Yue Ning asked the other waiters.
These waiters were a mix of new and old, and none of them were willing to come out to answer.
Yue Ning picked up the empty saucer on the table and said, "It's empty. If there are bland dishes and the guests want soy sauce, vinegar or chili oil, then there should be dipping sauce. If the guests don't need it, then this should be collected in advance."
She walked to a dish and said, "This dish is very scattered. It's not suitable for such a big plate. It takes up space and is inconvenient to pick it up. So what should we do?"
"Switch to small plates," said a new waiter.
"Yes, change the small plate in time." Yue Ning picked up the teacup, "There is only one sip of tea left in it, what does it mean?"
"The tea was not refilled in time."
"That's right." Yue Ning said to Ah Zhen, "Sister Zhen, these are the major aspects. What about the minor ones? You see there are three plates of the same style in a row. It doesn't look very comfortable. The waiter should put them on the wrong plates, and the waiter should remember to use different plates when serving the dishes. Of course, these are minor details. Let's do the basic service first."
"I know." Ah Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Ningning, last time you said you wanted to be a restaurant for wealthy people to hold business banquets. Let alone our Baohua Restaurant, wealthy people come here just to taste the food, but if they really want to host a banquet, that's not possible. Even if it's your request now, I think we can definitely do it if we have the right people. But I've also inquired about that kind of business banquet, and Yulongxuan has also been shown on a TV program these two days. If you watch it, you will know what Hong Kong is eating now. The waitresses in their private rooms are all beautiful girls who can participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant."
Ah Zhen gestured at her chest and imitated someone bending over: "The buttons are unbuttoned here. When you bend over, the customers can clearly see my breasts."
She glanced around her, then raised her head and chest to let Yue Ning look at her: "Ningning, I won't say whether my face can compare with others. With my flat chest, how can I compare with others?"
Everyone in the room almost burst out laughing.
They found that Yue Ning, who usually laughed and joked, was not laughing, and immediately stopped smiling. Yue Ning glanced at them with his sharp eyes: "How many times have I said this? I never want to compete with Yulongxuan, whether my restaurant is high-end or ordinary. We sell food, service, and smiles, but we don't sell sex. The reason why I customized the waiter uniforms is light gray, and both men and women wear the same pants is to eliminate the difference between men and women. The best service is that the customer can't remember your face, but he feels very comfortable and respected. I don't need you to compare with the outside world. We can't do what they do. We do what we can."
"I understand." Ah Zhen said with her head down.
"Let's talk about the dishes." Yue Ning handed chopsticks to each chef and apprentice, "Uncle Ming, please analyze it."
Ah Ming turned the turntable and moved the dish with the most leftovers to the one in front of him. He picked up a piece of Cantonese cabbage and said, "It's not cooked enough and it's a little raw."
A chef came out immediately and tasted a vegetable: "Yes, I will improve it next time."
Amin was the youngest apprentice before, and his grandfather had less time to take care of him. With his senior brothers in front of him, he focused on making clay pot rice, so he was not that outstanding. These days, Yue Ning forced the three of them to take care of apprentices and manage the kitchen, and it has only been a short time, but they have already become quite capable.
"Ningning, the second Young Master Qiao is here." The front desk clerk downstairs came up and said.
"Let him wait, we'll be done soon." Yue Ning said.
After Ah Ming and the kitchen staff finished their analysis, Yue Ning concluded: "The purpose of patrolling the tables after the meal is to constantly summarize and improve, to know what we did right and where we were lacking, and to prepare for a better start tomorrow."
Yue Ning bent down and said, "Thank you for your hard work, please be careful when you get home after get off work."
"Goodbye, Miss Yue!"
"Ningning, goodbye!"
Yue Ning stretched out her hand and asked everyone to go out. She was the last one to walk out of the box and go downstairs.
Qiao Junxian saw her and stood up. Yue Ning asked, "Why are you here so late?"
"I just came back from Pengcheng four days ago. I have something to discuss with you." Qiao Junxian smiled, "Also, I have sent out all your things. I also left the address of the Pengcheng Investment Promotion Office in the package. Ask them to send the letter to the Investment Promotion Office and I will bring it back to you."
Last time, Yue Ning wanted to write a letter to the people in Xiaoyanggou to report his safety. When he inquired, he found out that if he sent the letter from Gangcheng, it would take several days from Gangcheng to the inland. It would be much faster to send it from Pengcheng or Yuecheng.
Also, if a letter is sent from Xiaoyanggou to Pengcheng, the postage is cheap, but if it is sent to Gangcheng, the postage is ten times higher. The letter format is also easier for them.
Qiao Junxian was in the process of setting up a factory in Pengcheng, so he had to go to Pengcheng from time to time. Yue Ning asked him to take the letter to Pengcheng to post. This time, Yue Ning bought a lot of cloth clothes and food that could be transported, and asked Qiao Junxian to take it to post.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. Let's talk while you eat?" Yue Ning said.
"Keep it simple, cook a bowl of noodles?"
"Let's make it even simpler. I'll cook instant noodles for you." Yue Ning looked at him with a smile.
When Qiao Junxian heard about instant noodles, he felt uneasy. He said it was simple, but he didn't know what to say, so he followed Yue Ning into the kitchen.
He stood by, and Yue Ning actually took out a pack of instant noodles, opened it, and soaked it in water.
Qiao Junxian said, "Can I do it myself?"
"Are you sure?" Yue Ning took bean sprouts, leeks and eggs from the refrigerator and placed them on the table.
Not what I thought? Qiao Junxian smiled: "Then you should come."
Yue Ning laughed and mixed half of the sauce into the soaked noodles. The aroma was already coming out.
She turned on the stove and put oil into the pot: "This is Li De's Lingnan soy sauce chicken noodles. The target customers are tea restaurants. It tastes very good."
She fried the eggs, then stir-fried the bean sprouts until cooked, then fried the noodles with the sauce, added the eggs and bean sprouts and the remaining half of the sauce, and finally added a handful of leeks and served.
Qiao Junxian bent down: "It smells good."
He was very satisfied with this bowl of noodles.
"You go eat first."
When Qiao Junxian saw her taking the bowl, he asked, "Don't you want to share?"
Yue Ning smiled: "I stewed the meat and made steamed buns. I was planning to have them for breakfast tomorrow, but now I'll share one with you."
"I'm waiting for you."
"No, no. Eat the fried noodles while they're hot. I'll be ready soon."
Qiao Junxian walked out with a smile on his face, carrying the plate.
There were several cleaners doing cleaning in the hall outside, so he found a clean seat and sat down.
Is this fried instant noodles? It tastes really good. It's crispy and chewy, and it really has the flavor of her soy sauce chicken.
Yue Ning brought out a bowl. She put it down. There were two steamed buns with meat in it. Seeing that he was eating happily, she turned around to get a can of Coke and opened it, giving it to him: "You won't choke if you do this. You've only been out for four days. Have you not eaten anything?"
Pengcheng had just been developed, and apart from the county guesthouse, there were almost no decent restaurants. Qiao Junxian didn't mind, but he wanted to eat Yue Ning's cooking after a few days.
Qiao Junxian took a sip of Coke and a mouthful of noodles with a wok aroma, and he felt relaxed all over.
Yue Ning picked up a roujiamo and pushed the bowl to him: "The other one is yours."
Qiao Junxian took a bite of Roujiamo: "It's delicious, it tastes just like that. But why is the shell so tattered?"
"The old Tongguan flavor, with a crispy shell. What you ate before was Baiji steamed bun." Yue Ning told him.
"There is this difference?" Qiao Junxian took another bite, and found it extremely crispy. "This one is also delicious, crispy and fragrant."
The cleaners finished cleaning and waved goodbye to her. Yue Ning waved her hand and said, "Be careful on the road."
Qiao Junxian finally had enough to eat and drink. He smiled and asked, "I heard that you invited Miss Su over?"
Didn't this happen today? Didn't he just get home? Yue Ning asked, "How did you know?"
"I went home and heard my mother and eldest brother talking about how my cousin deserved to be scolded by my aunt when he came home today." Qiao Junxian said with a smile, "You are really smart. Miss Su is very capable and is very suitable for this position."
"It was your eldest brother who gave me the inspiration." Yue Ning told Qiao Junxian about how Cai Zhiyuan came to Baohua Tower to eat and drink and got half drunk.
Qiao Junxian laughed as he listened. Yue Ning said, "Actually, Sister Sophie is also troubled. She is obviously very capable, but after having such a relationship with the boss, all the benefits have turned into benefits from having sex. She came to me to prove her own value."
"Indeed, my cousin has too high expectations for his confidant, and he doesn't think from her perspective." Qiao Junxian hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard from my brother that you said you are a golden toad like them."
"Yes!" Yue Ning felt that her description was both accurate and humorous. She repeated it to Qiao Junxian, but missed a key sentence.
Qiao Junxian reminded her: "You said you wanted to see the eight-pack abs of male celebrities?"
When Yue Ning faced Qiao Junshen, her eyes were open, but when she looked at Qiao Junxian, her heart became uneasy. She laughed: "Just an analogy?"
Qiao Junxian rubbed her head, smiled slightly, showing a small dimple, and said: "You are still young, there are too many messes like this in Hong Kong City, don't learn everything, don't watch everything, especially don't learn from your cousin."
Yue Ning wanted to roll her eyes, but when she met his eyes, she said reluctantly, "I know."
Why did he come to her immediately after he came back? It turns out... ha!
