Seeing that everyone had quieted down, she began to speak, "As you can see, our store is not big and we don't hire many people. We really don't need so many people. The recruitment requirements are clearly written on the job notice. I hope that those who don't meet the requirements will voluntarily step aside. Thank you for your cooperation!"
After these words were spoken, no one moved at all.
…
It's just, very embarrassing.
Ye Qing cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, listen to me. Applicants for the chef position must have at least five years of work experience. Men and women are not limited. They must be in good health and pay attention to personal hygiene! Those who meet the requirements should line up on the left!
Applicants for the waiter position are welcome, regardless of gender, aged 18 to 35, in good health, and with good personal hygiene! Those who meet the requirements should stand in the second row!
Applicants for kitchen helpers have the same requirements as waiters, and must also be able to cut vegetables and have decent knife skills! Those who meet the requirements should stand in the third row!"
Since no one was leaving, Ye Qing had to temporarily change the recruitment requirements and make the age and other aspects more strict. There was no other way because there were just too many people. I don't know how come there were more than a hundred people gathered here.
As soon as she finished speaking, the scene became noisy again. Everyone wanted to move to the front row, fearing that they would not be selected.
Ye Qing was afraid of something going wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Please line up in an orderly manner. We will not hire anyone who disobeys us!"
After shouting three times until his voice was almost hoarse, everyone finally lined up obediently.
I should have bought a bigger speaker earlier.
"Hurry and drink some water."
But Lin Cuixin was so distressed that she quickly poured a bowl of water from the side and brought it to her. Ye Qing took it and drank it all in one gulp.
"Mom and Dad, go and screen a group of people first. Don't accept those who smell bad, have dust under their fingernails, or wear dirty clothes. In short, don't accept those who are unhygienic. Just let them go."
Since there are so many people, she can directly pick some who love cleanliness, so she doesn't have to go through the trouble of training them later. After all, it is quite difficult to develop a good habit, and who doesn't like ready-made ones?
The old couple were just thinking of sharing some of the work with their daughter-in-law. When they heard what she said, they nodded and started sifting. This was an easy job and they could all do it.
There were more than eighty people in the queue, with the largest number of people in the waiters and kitchen helpers positions. In just over ten minutes, the old couple eliminated more than forty people, rejecting anyone who was even a little dirty. In the end, there were sixteen waiters left, thirteen kitchen helpers left, and six left after three chefs were eliminated.
Ye Qing took a quick look at the rest of the people and felt that they all looked pretty good, so the next step was a more detailed interview.
"The six applicants for the chef position will stay here first and follow me in. The rest of you can go back and get your household registration books and come back at 2pm."
Afraid that some people might lie about their age, Ye Qing had no choice but to do this.
After hearing her words, the people from the other two teams dispersed obediently, and those who were eliminated and stayed behind to watch also dispersed.
Ye Qing looked at Cao Sheng who was standing in the kitchen and called out, "Cao Sheng, come here."
Cao Sheng smiled and walked over, "Sister Ye."
Ye Qing smiled and asked, "Why did you go to the helper team?"
Cao Sheng scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Didn't you say that you need five years of work experience to be a chef? I don't have that."
"You are quite honest. Since I promised to give you this opportunity, I will definitely keep my word. You can interview with these masters now. If you are not selected, you can participate in the interview for the assistant in the afternoon."
"Okay, thank you Sister Ye."
When Cao Sheng heard this, he was extremely grateful. No matter what, it was already a rare opportunity that someone was willing to give him.
He didn't expect to have so many people competing. Although the chances are slim, he still wants to give it a try!
Ye Qing smiled and said, "You're welcome, come in."
Ye Qing brought seven people including Cao Sheng to the kitchen. The other six people were five men and one woman. They all looked older than Cao Sheng. The youngest man was estimated to be around 35 years old.
Ye Qing asked their names, ages, working hours and work experiences one by one.
Except Cao Sheng, everyone else met her requirements.
"You are all experienced chefs. I am honored to meet you all. Thank you for coming to my small shop to apply for a job. But as you can see, my place is so small that I can't afford to hire too many people. I can only hire two chefs at the moment, so the last step is to taste the food. I have prepared some vegetables in advance. You can each use the ingredients you have to make a dish that you are good at. The top two winners will stay."
Ye Qing only prepared vegetables, not meat. If stir-fried vegetables are delicious, then adding meat will not be bad. Also, if so many people are cooking meat dishes, she really can't bear to use so much meat.
"Let's draw lots to decide the order! Two stoves, four rounds will be enough."
It was not easy for the seven people to decide who went first or last, so Ye Qing made seven slips of paper, and soon they each drew their own order. Cao Sheng and the female chef drew the third round.
"Okay, let's get started!"
As soon as she finished speaking the two chefs in the first round started to move.
Picking vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and cooking, the whole process is quick and rhythmic.
When the two people here started to fry, the people behind them began to pick and wash the vegetables and prepare them first. As soon as they took them out of the wok, the next wave of people would take over. With this orderly process, it took less than an hour for all seven people to finish.
Ye Qing called Niu Dafu and his two companions who were working outside to come in and taste the food together with his parents-in-law.
When Cao Sheng saw someone picking up the dishes he cooked, his heart rose to his throat. The other six chefs were all experienced chefs, and the difference between them and him was like a world of difference. He really had no confidence.
The other six chefs didn't show any expression on their faces. After all, they all had their own pride and confidence, and felt that they were no worse than others.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Ye Qing asked them to put down their chopsticks first.
"You've all tried all the dishes, right? Then pick out the two dishes you think are the best!"
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he gave two slips of paper to each person and asked them to put them next to the dish they liked. The one with more slips of paper won.
Niu Dafu wanted to vote for his brother-in-law, but the dishes he cooked were indeed inferior to those of others. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but vote for Cao Sheng.
The other two workers naturally didn't have to care too much about these things. Although they had a close relationship with Niu Dafu, Ye Qing was their boss. Moreover, since he asked them to help with the tasting and selection, it meant that he trusted them, so they chose the ones they thought were the most delicious.
