The Imperial Chef's Restaurant
As spring turned into autumn, Baiji was renovated again, its staff was expanded again, and it soon got back on track.
Ji Zihuai went to Beijing and got his mother's recipe. After some thought, he decided to make his mother's name more widely known.
He graduated from the best science and technology university in China with a double degree in mechanical engineering and artificial intelligence.
After returning to Hai City, he contacted his former classmates through his former professor and formed a team.
After everything was ready, he opened a food company.
He said to Bai Yinuo: "I don't know how to run a business, I can only provide technology, why don't you be the president."
Bai Yinuo was very surprised. After he came to his senses, he felt a little touched, but he still refused.
"I am not familiar with the company's business. I cannot be the boss."
Ji Zihuai had no choice but to invite his good friend who grew up with him and was one of the founders of the barrage website to take charge of the management.
Ji Zihuai gave Bai Yinuo 50% of the controlling stake.
Bai Yinuo didn't want to accept it, but Ji Zihuai insisted on giving it to her: "This is a small company, the money is not much, and I hope to add Baiji to the company's business, so you should accept this money."
Ji Zihuai expressed his plan: "I have decided to produce some of Baiji's and my mother's dishes through quick freezing or vacuum packaging, and distribute them nationwide."
The fast food on the market nowadays is of mixed quality. Many fast food products have poor taste due to the restrictions of recipes and machine technology.
Bai Ji has the recipe, Ji Zihuai has money, skills and family connections. Anyone can see that this path has great potential.
After listening to his plan, Bai Yinuo's eyes lit up: "Your idea is very good, we can do some first and see the response."
Ji Zihuai quickly prepared the team. He was a great chef and had excellent development experience. After investing a lot of time and money, he quickly wrote the assembly line machine program and completed the factory transformation.
Because Ji Zihuai's mother really wanted to make Xinghualou bigger and better, Ji Zihuai discussed it with his uncle and asked for the Xinghualou trademark from him.
He first made some of Xinghualou's famous pastries, including apricot blossom pastry and chestnut cake.
Although the taste of the food he made was not as good as what he made himself, it was already 80% as good.
The team members were amazed after eating these pastries.
"Fuck, did I program these machines? How come the pastries they make are so delicious?"
"I think this tastes better than what's sold in the nearby big restaurants."
Although all the team members thought it was good, even better than they had imagined, Ji Zihuai was still not satisfied.
"I don't think so. Mainly because these baked pastries taste best when they are fresh out of the oven, and they never taste that way again after that."
To this end, he designed another product that turned those pastries that needed to be baked into semi-finished products.
Guests can buy semi-finished products and bake them in their own oven.
Bai Yinuo fully agreed with his approach.
"That's exactly what we should do. Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme. Otherwise, it will ruin our reputation and that will be a loss."
The team members looked at each other.
These master and apprentice are really alike, both are full of the persistence of an experienced craftsman.
In the spirit of continuous improvement, Ji Zihuai and his team modified the assembly line machines several times, and the quality of the pastries they made is almost the same as those made by hand.
Because of their ridiculously high quality, the cakes required almost no marketing or advertising and became best-sellers across the country once they were released.
The cakes look good and taste good, and it is very face-saving to give them as gifts.
Everyone will like it after tasting it.
Apart from being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.
Later, during festivals, whenever friends and relatives visited relatives and friends, they would almost always bring a portion of Xinghualou cakes.
After the pastries sold out, the team moved on to preparing the prepared food.
The semi-finished dumplings made by Bai Yinuo before sold very well, and even affected the sales of frozen dumplings in the surrounding supermarkets. This incident gave Ji Zihuai a lot of inspiration.
The first frozen food launched by the company was "Bai Ji Frozen Dumplings".
Bai Ji is well-known throughout the country, but its address is in Haishi, so many people who want to eat there cannot get there.
After the product was exposed, many people immediately added it to their shopping carts.
The dumplings are fresh and fragrant, with delicate fillings and covered in hot soup, which makes people feel very satisfied.
"Fuck, I think all the dumplings I ate before were wasted."
“It turns out that dumplings can also have such a lingering taste!”
"Except for being a little expensive, this dumpling is perfect. And the expensiveness is not the dumpling's problem, it's my problem."
After the quick-frozen dumplings were launched nationwide, they received astonishing praise.
It was also the first time that Bai Yinuo saw such a long balance digit on his bank card.
Bai Yinuo couldn't help thinking, "No wonder my master likes stamp collecting so much. It's great to have such a filial and capable apprentice."
In the new year, Bai Ji developed rapidly.
Ji Zihuai's company quickly became a new star in the catering industry. The company has two brands, one is called Xinghualou and the other is called Baiji.
With continuous development, the two product lines include more and more quick-frozen and vacuum-packed foods.
A few years later, even if Chinese people have never eaten these two brands, they have heard of their names and know Bai Yinuo and Tan Ning behind them.
————————————————————
After the New Year, Baiji's waiter, actor Ji Yuchi, is in better and better spirits.
After the psychiatrist declared him stable, he and Bai Yinuo took a leave of absence.
"My friend wants to make a thriller recently. I read the script and thought it was very interesting. I want to give it a try."
"Okay." Bai Yinuo agreed immediately.
Ji Yuchi in front of him still looked melancholy, but this might be because he was originally like this. He was in much better spirits than when he first came to Baiji.
"Be careful." Bai Yinuo reminded sincerely.
She sighed in her heart. Now that Ji Yuchi had left, it seemed like she would have to hire another waiter.
Ji Yuchi seemed to know her troubles and said, "My friend wants to relax recently. I want him to come here to work as a waiter. Is that possible? I should be back after filming."
As we all know, internal referrals are generally more reliable than social recruitment. The person recommended by Ji Yuchi should not be too bad.
Bai Yinuo agreed.
But what she didn’t expect was that the friends of celebrities…are most likely also celebrities.
The person who came was Xu Yao.
Xu Yao is handsome, but his career path is not smooth. After years of obscurity, his acting skills exploded, and he played a villain and almost won the Best Actor Award. Interestingly, the person who suddenly appeared and prevented him from winning the Best Actor Award was Ji Yuchi.
But he is not a grudge-bearing person, nor is he petty. The two got along well and even worked together on a play, so they became close friends.
He was not loved by his father and mother since he was young, and lived with his kind and gentle grandparents. His family was poor, and he entered the entertainment industry to make his family happy. But he never made it, and when he finally made it, his grandparents passed away. They did not enjoy a single day of happiness.
As a result, Xu Yao was devastated and disappeared from the entertainment industry.
Recently, paparazzi took photos of him going to a Taoist temple.
When Ji Yuchi asked about this, he smiled and said to Ji Yuchi: "I never believed in ghosts, but now I want to believe that there are ghosts in this world."
Ji Yuchi thought about it, was silent for a long time, and said, "I'll recommend a place for you to relax."
He had suffered from mental illness, so he knew that if it wasn't for himself
Once you come out, no matter how others persuade you, it will not work and it will easily have the opposite effect.
He then stopped persuading her.
"A holiday villa?"
“No, it’s a job.”
"Does it include food and accommodation? If not, I won't go." Xu Yao joked: "I plan to be a Taoist priest for a year, and they provide food and accommodation."
"Bag."
So Xu Yao came.
He looked at the quaint sign of Baiji in front of him and fell into silence for a long time.
I consider you a friend, and you recommend me to be a waiter?
What kind of distraction can being a waiter bring!
————————
Ji Yuchi didn’t know what Xu Yao was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
If it wasn’t Xu Yao, he wouldn’t have introduced him.
Although being a waiter is tiring and hard, and although the conditions are not as good as on vacation, the food is good, and this is enough.
Delicious food can rekindle people's hope for life. Ji Yuchi didn't have this feeling before, but now he does.
However, he recommended Xu Yao not just for the other party, he also had his own little thoughts.
The fierce competition among Baiji waiters is obvious to all, and the competing teams include but are not limited to many anchors, aunties, and e-sports champions.
It is estimated that it will take him three or four months to shoot this drama. What if there is no position available when he comes back?
Xu Yao is his friend. With Xu Yao there, Boss Bai will never forget him, so it will be convenient for him to come back.
And even if the wait staff is full by then, Xu Yao is a good person, so it would be easy for him to ask Xu Yao to leave and take his place.
——————
Four months later, Ji Yuchi finished filming and returned to Haishi happily.
This time the script was very much to his liking and the director did a good job filming, which allowed him to indulge in his acting passion.
Good scripts are hard to come by, and maybe only one can be produced in a year. He plans to take on at most one high-quality play a year, and spend the rest of his time relaxing at Baiji.
He returned to Baiji, found Bai Yinuo, and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm back."
"Welcome back!" Bai Yinuo said with a smile.
“When will I start work?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yinuo's expression changed, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The store recently hired a new batch of waiters. After Xiao Nanning finished his game, he became the last waiter hired. Now there are enough waiters in the store, with at least two on each floor.
Ji Yuchi was a smart man. When he saw her expression, he understood everything instantly and his mood sank slightly.
"That's such a pity. By the way, is Xu Yao here? I'll go look for Xu Yao."
"Okay, he's right behind."
Xu Yao was wearing a mask and making tea. When he saw Ji Yuchi coming over, he happily handed him a cup of tea.
Ji Yuchi took the tea, exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, and then said indirectly: "By the way, I heard from Director Wang that there is a big-budget TV series recently, and the second male lead in it is very suitable for you. Do you want to audition?"
Xu Yao smiled and said, "No, no."
"Why?" Ji Yuchi was shocked.
"To be honest." Xu Yao sighed, "I used to be very lonely and easily depressed. There are many people in the store, and it is quite lively. I often chat with customers, and my mood has improved a lot. I am a little popular. As for filming, let's talk about it next year."
"I wear a mask every day to chat with others. People can't recognize me. I feel relaxed like I did before I became famous."
"The most important thing is that the boss's cooking is so delicious! I am a little reluctant to leave, and you can't blame me for that."
Ji Yuchi: “…”
He said casually, "You know I'm an old employee. Actually, I really want to come back."
Xu Yao was a smart man and quickly understood what he meant. But even though he understood, he didn't want to agree.
He then said directly: "I heard from my boss that they are not hiring now. Do you want me to leave? But I don't have such an idea for the time being."
I have to say that Baiji's employee meals are really amazing. Not only is Bai Yinuo the chef, but there are also many well-known chefs.
Kitchen cooperation.
The dishes on the table are a combination of the freshest food from all over the world and the beauty of thousands of mountains and rivers, which are something that almost all guests cannot taste.
The happiest time for him is when he eats every day.
Ji Yuchi: “…”
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xu Yao picked up the tea and prepared to leave: "No more talking, I'm going to serve the tea. This is Biluochun to the third floor. The guests are in a hurry to order it."
Ji Yuchi looked at his back: "..."
Mistake, big mistake!
Ji Yuchi knew that the decision still lay with Bai Yinuo, so he found Bai Yinuo again.
Ji Yuchi's eyes were melancholy: "Boss, I've been here before and I'm familiar with the job."
Bai Yinuo sat alone in a window seat on the first floor. After renovation, the room became very large and well-lit. Besides, it was a private space with no tables or chairs for guests. She liked to stay here to drink tea and read books in her spare time.
Bai Yinuo looked at him and hesitated: "I also want to take you in, but there are enough people in the store now."
The conversation between the two reached a deadlock.
At this moment, a dog suddenly came over. The dog was about as tall as a person's calf, and its fur was as white as snow.
Ji Yuchi went to the deep mountains and forests to film a movie, and it was inconvenient to bring a dog with him, so he left the Samoyed at Bai Ji.
After he left, the Samoyed swelled up like a balloon, becoming much bigger and smarter than before. It was often naughty and not afraid of people at all, and only behaved well when facing Bai Yinuo.
Samoyed squatted skillfully at Bai Yinuo's feet, staring at the dried meat on the table. Bai Yinuo took out the special dried meat from the plate on the table and stuffed it into Samoyed's mouth. The other side bit the dried meat and happily accepted it.
Before leaving, Samoyed glanced at Ji Yuchi, but did not stop. He snorted and walked away without recognizing any relatives.
Ji Yuchi: “…”
Does it still remember that he is its owner?
Bai Yinuo explained: "You've been away for too long, so it's probably a little angry, so it ignores you. In fact, it misses you a lot and often looks at your photos."
Ji Yuchi was somewhat moved and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Yinuo thought, she really liked the Samoyed, why not show some love for the dog and let him stay and be the dog's playmate.
She made a decision: "Well, the work in the store has been assigned. Why don't you greet guests on the first floor from now on. If you don't want to show your face, you can wear a mask."
Ji Yuchi saw her thoughts and couldn't help
