Chapter 163 Employee Fitness Program
These "fitness suits" were naturally made by Alexi at the request of Jiangyou. In order to allow the cicada to make enough suits, Jiangyou also gave her a few days of "vacation" so that she would not have to worry about the tofu workshop business for a few days and could concentrate on making clothes.
Alexi's older children also helped a lot. But even so, even the talented Kaede could only produce six sets of fitness suits in such a short time, just enough for the first group of people participating in the employee fitness program.
——Yes, Jiangyou’s new idea is the ‘employee fitness plan’.
Of course, the employees here are a broad concept, and also include partners, financiers and other partners...that is, those people who eat employee meals at Jiangyou every day and gain a lot of weight.
Apart from Heidi, Nasha, whose figure had become visibly rounder and whose double chin was faintly visible, was the first to receive a notice from her boss.
"Huh, fitness? Tomorrow?" Naxia's pupils trembled.
"That's right," Boss Jiangyou said happily with a grin. "Since everyone's working really hard every day, I've hired three more trainee chefs, expanding the team to eight. From now on, you can split into two groups and enjoy a pleasant life of 'work four days, rest three days' one week, and 'work three days, rest four days' the next week."
There are two groups of four people in each group, which rotate in a model where experienced chefs lead new ones. This allows trainee chefs to adapt to life more quickly and become formal employees.
Since we had more days off, we had to be more efficient at work, so changing from five to four was a reasonable decision. With the help of magic, and as the chefs' proficiency gradually improved, this wasn't a difficult task.
Jiang You continued, "During each rest period, employees must participate in two morning exercises to develop healthy and strong bodies to better cope with the busy schedule. The kitchen is like a battlefield. To cook well, you must have sufficient muscle strength, otherwise you won't even be able to flip a wok! Without sufficient stamina, it would be difficult to stand at the stove all day."
As their restaurant expanded and the kitchen area increased, the kitchen utensils also underwent further upgrades.
To quickly prepare more dishes, and after recommending new dishes to guide customers towards specific menu items, Takumi had custom-made woks based on the large iron woks used in his previous life's hotels. These woks are 1.5 times larger than the previous adamantine woks. Currently, only chefs with military experience can flip the woks; the rest either rely on magic or frantically wield spatulas.
Although there is no earth-shattering difference between dishes cooked with or without flipping the wok, as a foodie with a sensitive palate, Nasha always feels that dishes cooked with flipping the wok are heated more evenly and have more aroma, so she is still working hard to learn the technique of flipping the wok.
At this moment, she suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
Although Boss You had been so busy lately that she was nowhere to be seen and rarely entered the kitchen, she was clearly observing herself and knew that she had been troubled by her inability to learn how to flip the wok. It turned out that her inability to flip the wok wasn't due to a lack of skill, but rather a lack of physical strength.
To solve this problem, simply practicing in the kitchen will not be of much help. You must strengthen your physical exercise from the fundamental level!
Nasha, who had figured everything out, looked at Takumi with even more admiration in her eyes.
...Boss You is truly worthy of being called this. He always finds the problem before them and comes up with a perfect solution.
"I will join the fitness program!" Naxia said excitedly, "Thank you, boss! I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations!"
Jiangyou nodded with satisfaction. Naxia was indeed a good employee. She was so enthusiastic even when asked by the boss to work out on her day off... She had thought that she would have to convince him for a long time with earnest words!
So, at 6:30 the next morning, the employees and partners who participated in the employee fitness program were transported to the hunting ground in the suburbs by horse-drawn carriages with confused looks on their faces. They saw Boss You, the Doberman Pinscher and the black-skinned bird-beaked doctor waiting for them in the open space.
In addition to Heidi, Nasha and Aunt Wolf, the first round of participants in the fitness program included three other people who were in urgent need of exercise. Two of them were veteran cooks who needed rehabilitation, and the other was a fat cook.
These two veteran cooks—one was the knife wizard Hedo H. Franky, and the other was Ethan H. Ritters, whose skill with the wok was impeccable. Both possessed formidable skills, strength, and muscle, but their legs and feet were somewhat injured, requiring rehabilitation training to restore the muscles, which had been blocked by scar tissue and could no longer relax and contract, to their normal range of motion.
The fat cook was Ethan H. Ritters' wife, Ena H. Ritters. She was efficient and kind, but because she was too fat, she had developed severe shortness of breath, chest tightness, and heart palpitations. She needed to start losing weight seriously to gradually improve her poor physical condition.
Among the six people, three need to lose weight, two need rehabilitation, and one needs to build muscle. It can be said that each has its own needs. However, since the fitness plan has just begun, both the weight loss group and the muscle building group need to start with the most basic easy training and gradually increase the difficulty. For now, they can still be combined for training.
So the veterans were led by the dark-skinned doctor to the nearby tent to check the muscles of their legs and feet, while the other four were led by Boss You to stand in the center of the open space.
"Welcome everyone to our 'Employee Fitness Program,' which aims to strengthen your body and promote even weight loss!" Jiang You said with a smile. "This Doberman is your canine trainer, Wang-chan! He's a magical creature, so he can talk! Please listen carefully to his instructions and perform every move perfectly. Please note that no one other than me is allowed to feed or pet the trainer."
The fat lady who wanted to stroke the dog's head secretly withdrew her hand.
Please note that we do not exercise to become more beautiful, nor for the opinions and praise of others; we exercise to gain a healthier body, a longer life, and stronger muscles! This is the effort and sweat we put into becoming a better person.
"I hope everyone can give 100% of their energy during training and perform every movement perfectly. At the same time, I don't want everyone to get carried away and blindly pursue progress, to the point of exercising beyond their ability. This behavior may lead to muscle strain and cardiovascular problems.
"Our exercise training is gradually strengthened and the difficulty is increased. Please maintain good communication with the dog trainer during the process! If anyone feels unwell during the exercise, please speak up immediately. We have professional doctors on hand to escort you!"
