"Xiaobao, this is Master Wang Chuan, who used to be the second chef of Hongbinlou. He is good at cooking Sichuan and Huaiyang cuisine!" Chen Ziyue introduced him to Chen Xiaobao.
The second chef is the second or third in command in the kitchen.
In some places there are head chefs and executive chefs, so the second chef is the third in command. In some places there are only head chefs and no executive chefs, so the second chef is the second in command.
Chen Xiaobao knew that Hongbin Tower was known as the first of the four famous towers in the provincial capital and was very famous.
"Are you good at Sichuan and Huaiyang cuisine?" Chen Xiaobao thought for a moment, "Okay, let's try something simple. Master Wang, make me a twice-cooked pork, a boiled dried shredded vegetable, and a Wensi tofu. If I think it's good, we can talk about the salary. You will be the chef upstairs from now on!"
"Boss, you are an expert. Okay, I'll prepare it and serve the dishes right away!" Wang Chuan nodded, knowing that Chen Xiaobao knew something about the cooking industry.
Not everyone thinks of hotpot when talking about Sichuan cuisine.
Twice-cooked pork is an entry-level dish in Sichuan cuisine and a dish that tests one’s cooking skills. If you can’t even make twice-cooked pork well, then there’s no need to talk about understanding Sichuan cuisine.
Twice-cooked pork tests basic skills, boiled dried shredded vegetable tests knives, and Wensi tofu tests knife skills. If these three dishes are all cooked well, then your level will not be too bad.
Chen Xiaobao's requirements were not high. For a newly opened restaurant, it would definitely not be possible to hire a state banquet chef.
As long as your cooking skills are decent, it's fine.
What is sold upstairs is not mainly the chef’s cooking skills.
The cooking skills are online and the ingredients are superb, this is the route to go upstairs and downstairs.
"Xiaobao, what do you think of these three dishes?"
Chen Ziyue looked confused and came over and asked quietly.
When she ran a restaurant before, her only purpose in food tasting was to see if the food the chef cooked was delicious. She would eat whatever the chef cooked. When Chen Xiaobao ordered these three dishes, she had no idea what that meant.
"Sister Chen, you opened a restaurant without doing any homework?" Chen Xiaobao looked at Chen Ziyue strangely.
"Yes, of course I did. I have done special research on the customer flow and consumer groups here!" Chen Ziyue said quickly.
"Okay, I've done it before. I'm a second-generation rich man, I have money and I can do whatever I want!" Chen Xiaobao shrugged. That saying is so true. Second-generation rich men can do anything as long as they don't start a business.
As long as you don't start a business, your family business will never be ruined.
But if you start a business, that may not be the case.
"What's that expression on your face? Do you think I'm stupid and rich?"
Chen Ziyue looked at Chen Xiaobao's expression and suddenly became angry and shameless. She subconsciously reached out and pinched Chen Xiaobao's waist.
"hiss!"
Chen Xiaobao took a deep breath. These women are really like crabs. Their fingers can pinch people.
"Xiaobao, I'm sorry, let me rub it for you!"
Seeing Chen Xiaobao's face full of pain, Chen Ziyue panicked and hurriedly squatted beside Chen Xiaobao and rubbed him anxiously. A faint fragrance filled Chen Xiaobao's nose.
Chen Ziyue smells nice.
"Sister Chen, no need to rub it!"
Chen Xiaobao subconsciously reached out and grabbed Chen Ziyue's little hand.
As soon as he grabbed Chen Ziyue's little hand, Chen Ziyue was stunned and her pretty face suddenly became hot.
"Brother Xiaobao!"
Just then, Bai Xiaotao approached suspiciously and looked at Chen Ziyue with a wary look.
Chen Ziyue quickly pulled her hand back, at a loss as to what to do.
"Xiaotao, don't get me wrong, I'm married, Xiaobao and I are just ordinary friends!" Chen Ziyue explained in a panic, but the more she explained, the more suspicious Bai Xiaotao became.
Why are ordinary friends so flustered?
Just at this time, the kitchen started serving the dishes: twice-cooked pork, boiled dried shredded vegetables, and Wensi tofu were all served up in a flash.
The twice-cooked pork has good color, aroma and flavor, but the pork is a bit average.
The pigs generally raised in China now are York pigs, also known as large white pigs. This type of pig grows fast, has a lot of lean meat, and has good economic benefits. It has now basically replaced the Chinese native pig.
Chinese native pigs have a lot of fat and grow slowly, but their meat is delicious and very suitable for making twice-cooked pork.
The meat tastes good, but there is too much fat and the economic benefits are not good.
Chen Xiaobao thought that he would have to set up a pig farm in the future.
The cooking temperature of boiled dried bean curd is very good, and the knife skills of Wensi tofu are also very impressive.
Chen Xiaobao tried every dish and was very satisfied.
After the food tasting passed, Chen Xiaobao discussed the salary with Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan brought a few chefs with him, and Chen Xiaobao just needed to recruit a few more people.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Chen Xiaobao asked Bai Xiaotao to be the waiter's foreman and arrange the waiters' work.
As for the waiters!
He plans to return to Qingshan Town to recruit people, which will also create some employment opportunities for the village.
"Xiaobao, when do you plan to open?"
Chen Ziyue lifted her hair to hide her confused mood. After what happened, she felt that it was a bit self-deceptive to continue being ordinary friends.
Can ordinary friends know her depth?
"It will officially open within a week, Sister Chen, please come and support us then!" Chen Xiaobao said with a smile.
"No problem, I'll call all my friends over then!"
Chen Ziyue smiled and nodded. The two talked for a few more words and prepared to leave.
Chen Ziyue got into her sports car and was about to drive away when a motorcycle suddenly whizzed past and threw a plastic bag at her, causing her to scream in fright.
Chen Xiaobao ran over quickly.
"Sister Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Xiaobao quickly pulled the plastic bag over. Fortunately, there was nothing corrosive in the plastic bag. He was afraid that the plastic bag contained sulfuric acid, and someone wanted to throw sulfuric acid on Chen Ziyue.
"I'm fine!"
Chen Ziyue looked frightened and asked in panic, "What's in the plastic bag?"
When Chen Xiaobao opened the plastic bag, he saw that it was filled with extremely explosive photos.
Almost every picture above shows a man and a woman making a little man, and it looks quite intense.
"They seem to be some pornographic photos!" Chen Xiaobao looked carefully and found that the women in the photos were pretty good-looking, but the heroine was not Chen Ziyue.
He handed the photo to Chen Ziyue, whose face suddenly changed and her whole body began to tremble.
"Sister Chen, is this your husband?"
Seeing her reaction, Chen Xiaobao suddenly understood that the heroine had nothing to do with Chen Ziyue, so could it be that the hero had a relationship with Chen Ziyue?
Didn’t An Xia say that Chen Ziyue and her husband are very loving? Is there something wrong with Chen Ziyue’s husband? He leaves a beautiful rich second-generation woman at home and still goes out to mess around.
Is this the legendary saying that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers?
“It’s my husband!”
Chen Ziyue held the photo and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sister Chen, you are sad. These photos may be fake. Photoshop technology is so advanced these days. Even if there are pictures, they may not necessarily show the truth!"
Chen Xiaobao took out a few tissues and handed them to Chen Ziyue.
He guessed that maybe the mistress wanted to get promoted, so she gave these photos to Chen Ziyue on purpose, with the intention of making Chen Ziyue divorce her husband.
