Chapter 130 Four dishes and one soup
Du Shaojie understood immediately that Huang Yicheng must be among the people who came.
Huang Yicheng is the kind of person who sticks to his principles, and Yao Liwen doesn't dare to make it too sumptuous, otherwise he will be scolded for doing the wrong thing with good intentions.
However, he can't be too careless, so the two chefs need to work together to find a solution.
"This is easy to handle. Let's do it impartially. Four dishes and one soup should be fine, right? As for the dishes, I can think of a beef stew. Master Dong, you should think about it too."
Du Shaojie felt that it would be impossible to "have both", so it would be better to follow the standards instead of struggling here.
However, the same four dishes have their own requirements, and the word "benefit" reveals the essence. In summary, it is to make the leaders eat well and have nothing to complain about.
He first thought of [Beef Stew], and after saying it, he looked at Dong Yunxian.
"Well, we can make a [pickled fish], a [big plate chicken], a [vegetarian assortment], and finally a [seaweed egg drop soup]. What do you think?"
As expected of the chef of Hongchunyuan Hotel, Dong Yunxian quickly prepared four dishes and a soup.
Yao Liwen thought it was very good.
Seeing that Du Shaojie did not object, he immediately made a decision:
"That's it! Master Dong, Master Du, you guys hurry up and prepare. In addition, normal work cannot be delayed."
The kitchen immediately became busy. Regardless of other things, the first thing to do was to prepare all the ingredients.
Du Shaojie and Dong Yunxian discussed and decided that Du Shaojie would make [beef stew] and [big plate chicken], and Dong Yunxian would make [pickled fish], [vegetarian assortment] and [seaweed egg drop soup].
It just so happened that Du Shaojie would take care of the [big plate chicken] at noon to save trouble.
About twenty minutes later, the leaders of the bureau headed by Chen Jizhou arrived at Guangyuan Hotel.
After they entered the door, they went straight to the Chinese restaurant. Wang Xuejun led the way in front, and Yao Liwen followed behind Chen Jizhou so that he could answer the leader's questions at any time.
"Manager Yao, let's go to the back kitchen first."
Chen Jizhou saw that some guests had already come to the lobby, and the sanitary conditions were clear at a glance, so he didn't disturb others to eat.
So he proposed to go to the back kitchen first, and the others naturally wouldn't object.
"Okay, but it's noon business time now, everyone, come with me to change your work clothes first."
The management of Guangyuan Hotel is fully benchmarked against Kunlun Hotel, and it's really not just talk.
Yao Liwen can stick to the principles, which is a plus point in the eyes of Chen Jizhou and others, so he knelt down happily to change his work clothes, and then walked into the back kitchen.
At this time, Du Shaojie was frying [Big Plate Chicken], and Dong Yunxian and Sanzao were working together to make the dishes ordered by the guests.
The kitchen was full of smoke, but it looked clean and tidy, and all kinds of materials were stacked in an orderly manner.
Du Shaojie prepared a pot of [Big Plate Chicken] and poured it into a basin. A kitchen worker immediately brought it to the front. Customers who came early were already queuing up. They had already paid and could pick up their meals with their tickets.
Du Shaojie saw Chen Jizhou and his group, and greeted everyone one by one, and continued to fry the next pot of [Big Plate Chicken].
It was busy now, and he didn't even have time to greet people.
Chen Jizhou nodded, and the group checked the environmental hygiene and food quality of the back kitchen, and listened to Yao Liwen's report.
Then they left the back kitchen and changed back into their clothes.
In the lobby, Chen Jizhou noticed that many people only bought a [Big Plate Chicken] and belt noodles.
"That's the taste! I came here once a few days ago, and I always felt that the taste was a little bit off. Now this taste is back."
"I'm afraid they changed people before? Every chef has a different way of cooking. As long as they change people, the taste will be different."
After hearing the discussions of several guests, Chen Jizhou was thoughtful.
After checking the work of the Chinese restaurant, they went to the guest room department.
Yao Liwen winked at Wang Xuejun and asked him to arrange lunch quickly. Wang Xuejun understood and quietly returned to the restaurant.
Du Shaojie and Dong Yunxian received the notice and began to prepare working meals for the leaders. These four dishes were made separately, just in time for everyone to make their own specialties.
After Chen Jizhou and others finished checking the work of the guest room department, Yao Liwen led them directly to a private room.
"Manager Yao, let me say this in advance. If you dare to drag us to eat and drink, I will deal with you immediately."
Huang Yicheng drooped his face as soon as he entered the private room, and choked Yao Liwen as soon as he sat down.
Chen Jizhou glanced at Huang Yicheng with some dissatisfaction, meaning, isn't the food not served yet? Why are you so anxious to draw conclusions?
But it was difficult to say anything in front of Yao Liwen, so he could only wave his hand and signal to serve the food quickly. They are all busy people, who has time to waste time on trivial matters?
Yao Liwen almost didn't come down from the stage, and took this opportunity to go to the kitchen in person.
Soon, four dishes and a soup were served on the table. Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng looked at each other, their eyes almost popped out, they had never seen such large portions of dishes.
The four dishes were served in small bowls, and the portion of one dish was several times that of a normal dish.
"Manager Yao is really 'abiding by the rules'!"
Chen Jizhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could understand the other party's approach.
With so many people here, four dishes and one soup are not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, but if a large table of dishes is prepared, it will definitely cause trouble. Huang Yicheng wanted to take advantage of the issue before, so if he did
that, wouldn't it be like handing the handle of the knife to others? I don't know whose idea it was, but no matter what, a difficult problem was solved after all.
The staple food is steamed buns, and everyone is not polite. Everyone has a bowl of soup and a steamed bun and starts eating.
"This [big plate chicken] is very satisfying to eat, and the [beef stew] is moderately soft and hard, and it tastes very fragrant. And this [pickled fish] is very authentic. Master Dong's reputation is really well-deserved."
Zhai Yucheng is a chatterbox. While eating, he also made on-site comments.
Chen Jizhou is meticulous, and I dare not say anything else. [Big plate chicken] is definitely made by Du Shaojie. If his guess is correct, this little Du's improvement speed is too terrible, right?
When he and Zhai Yucheng were on the farm, Du Shaojie's cooking skills were far worse than they are now.
At this time, Yao Liwen appeared again at the right time.
"Leaders, we dare not break the rules. We can only arrange four dishes and one soup for the working meal. Please forgive us."
Chen Jizhou and others almost couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard it.
This old Yao is quite vindictive. He was scolded by Huang Yicheng for no reason before. Now, he took the opportunity to embarrass him.
"Sweet words and flattering appearance! Your four dishes and one soup are not only large in quantity, but also have chicken, fish, and beef. Yao Liwen
, dare you say that you didn't take advantage of the loopholes in the regulations?" Huang Yicheng snorted coldly and spoke bluntly.
He was really right. Yao Liwen was indeed playing a trick in the reception.
"Okay, Old Huang, as long as you don't break the rules, it's not a mistake. Manager Yao, don't stand there stupidly. Tell us who made these dishes?"
Chen Jizhou has gradually lost his patience with Huang Yicheng. It is of course right to stick to principles, but if you get too entangled in some details, you will fall into the dilemma of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
But in order to maintain superficial unity, Chen Jizhou decisively changed the subject.
"[Beef hodgepodge] and [Big plate chicken] were made by Chef Du. Although Chef Du is young, his skills are already comparable to those of a chef. The other two dishes and one soup were made by Chef Dong. Are you satisfied with the food?"
Yao Liwen answered the director's question and deliberately said something good for Du Shaojie.
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly became interesting.
If it weren't for Yao Liwen's own words, everyone really couldn't tell which dish was made by Du Shaojie and which was made by Dong Yunxian.
"The dishes are well cooked, especially Xiao Du's professional skills have improved a lot, which is worthy of praise. By the way, Manager Yao, how is Xiao Du's performance in the competition? I've been busy recently and haven't had time to ask about this."
Chen Jizhou was very happy, but he didn't show it.
Du Shaojie's progress was something he was happy to see, and he changed the subject and asked about the competition.
Yao Liwen reported everything in detail, and Chen Jizhou nodded with satisfaction: "You need to support him more! You should reduce Xiao Du's workload and let him compete well."
Chen Jizhou and others finished their meal and left Guangyuan Hotel.
Yao Liwen finally breathed a sigh of relief and came to the kitchen to praise Dong Yunxian and Du Shaojie.
Before the Spring Festival.
Du Shaojie sent Liao Yongxin and Qi Yan's family away, and then began to prepare New Year's goods.
This year, he can rest for three days during the New Year and does not need to be on duty.
I thought that I could wait for the New Year with peace of mind after preparing the New Year's goods, but who knew that he would be so busy during the period before the New Year.
There was nothing to do at the unit, and the things mainly came from Su Dapeng, Zhao Dajun, Wang Liwen and others, and even Liang Meiqin's family. They all asked Du Shaojie to help make [Dezhou Braised Chicken], and eating it themselves was secondary, mainly for giving it to others.
Giving food near the New Year is very effective.
Du Shaojie calculated that he made at least 100 [Dezhou Braised Chicken] during the period before the New Year.
Of course, in addition to processing for others, he also kept some for himself.
Chen Jizhou, Zhai Yucheng and others had to send some, and Principal Mao also had to send two. He was busy all the time until New Year's Eve.
"Mom. I'm going out for a while and will be back later."
On New Year's Eve, Wang Liwen was on duty at the hospital.
Although the hospital also has its own logistics services, it is not clear how the food tastes, but it is definitely not too fancy.
Du Shaojie had a New Year's Eve dinner with his family, and then rode his bike straight to the People's Hospital with several lunch boxes.
The dishes in the lunch boxes were reserved in advance when he was cooking. They were all Wang Liwen's favorites. There were four full lunch boxes in total.
Wang Liwen almost cried when she saw Du Shaojie coming to deliver the food.
To be honest, single dogs have no human rights. During the New Year's Eve, especially on New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, the hospital tries to arrange single employees to be on duty, so that doctors and nurses with families can reunite with their families.
"Sister Liwen, please stop pretending. Don't I know you? You've long been used to spending the New Year alone. The food is a little cold. Is there a place where I can heat it up?"
Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile. Wang Liwen had been through so many things, and her heart had long been trained to be extremely strong. Would she really cry for such a small thing?
No, she was pretending.
