Chapter 82
The top ten in the first round of voting entered the second round. The event organizer recommended three food experts: Hua Tianyi, president of Shanghai Food Association, Yang Ming, a world-renowned top chef, and Zhu Linlin, editor-in-chief of Food Magazine.
According to the requirements, the three food experts need to taste the top ten food restaurants within five days. The itinerary and the order of tasting are decided by the experts themselves. After tasting all the food restaurants, each expert must submit to the organizer a food restaurant that he or she thinks tastes the best.
If the lists submitted by the three food experts overlap, the expert who submitted later will need to submit another list.
In order to welcome the arrival of the food experts, Qu Xuanye, the owner of Fengling Restaurant, asked the chef to prepare several special dishes. Qu Xuanye lost to Kangle Boxed Lunch in the last voting session, but he was not convinced and was ready to win back in the second round.
Although it lost in the popularity competition, when it comes to taste, Fengling Restaurant will definitely not lose to a small box restaurant. Qu Xuanye is very confident of this.
Qu Xuanye predicted that the three restaurants that would ultimately win in the second round would be Lihua Hotel, Haishi Restaurant and Fengling Restaurant.
It is impossible for Kangle Box Restaurant to win, so it is impossible for Kangle Box Restaurant to win in the second round.
Qu Xuanye couldn't wait to see the Kangle Box Restaurant being eliminated.
The top ten food restaurants in the voting phase were almost all in the city, with only the Kangle Box Restaurant being in the suburbs. The three food experts all tasted the food restaurants in the city first, leaving the Kangle Box Restaurant for last.
While other food restaurants are busy entertaining food experts, Kangle Lunch is busy recruiting staff.
The downtown branch is already preparing for its opening. In addition to recruiting staff for the downtown branch, the main store in Jiangdong New District will also be recruiting new staff.
After the city branch opens, Xiang Yunting will be assigned to manage the city branch, and the main store in Jiangdong New District must also recruit new chef assistants. This time, Chen Kangle plans to recruit two chef assistants, so that the work in the kitchen will be a little easier.
Chen Kangle can hand over the task of recruiting waiters to Xiang Yunting, but she must do the task of recruiting chef assistants herself. She has her own requirements and standards for chef assistants.
As soon as the information about the recruitment of chef assistants for the Kanglebox Hotel was posted on the recruitment website, hundreds of resumes were received. It was a daunting task to pick out the two best ones from hundreds of people.
Chen Kangle recalled that when Kangle Box Restaurant was recruiting chef assistants, not many people submitted resumes because Kangle Box Restaurant was not well-known at the time and its location was remote.
Things are different now. Kangle Box Restaurant has become well-known. Many chefs come here to apply for the job of chef assistant in order to learn from Chen Kangle.
When looking through the applicants' resumes, Xiang Yunting was stunned. Among the applicants were the head chef of a restaurant and a food blogger who was more famous than him. Just by looking at the resumes, one could tell that the competition was very fierce.
Xiang Yunting was very glad that he came to Kanglehe Restaurant early. If he had come to apply for the job now, he might not be able to compete with so many talented people.
In order to reduce the workload, Chen Kangle selected more than ten resumes from hundreds of resumes and then notified them to come for an interview.
The content of the interview is to ask all the applicants to cook a dish that they are best at. Chen Kangle personally tastes the dishes made by these applicants and then picks out the one that he is most satisfied with.
Chen Kangle found that the level of the applicants this time was quite high. The dishes cooked by each of them tasted good and they were all capable of opening a restaurant.
Someone with such high cooking skills is actually willing to work as a chef's assistant in a box lunch restaurant. Even Chen Kangle himself had to sigh at the charm of Kangle box lunches.
When selecting a chef's assistant, in addition to the cooking skills, Chen Kangle also looks at the personality. She likes people with a better personality. After all, they are partners who will work together for a long time, and it is important to be able to get along well with each other.
Chen Kangle doesn't like people who are too impatient or have loud voices. In the end, Chen Kangle chose one who seemed introverted and one who seemed cheerful from among the people with the best cooking skills, so that they could complement each other.
The moment he knew that he was successful in the job application, Tan Wensu was very happy. Tan Wensu is the head chef of a restaurant. He knew about the Kanglehe Restaurant because his daughter liked it very much.
His daughter used to like the food he cooked very much. She often said, "Dad is so great. I love the food he cooks the most."
Later, after my daughter went to eat Kangle lunch boxes with her classmates, she started to visit Kangle lunch box every day and ignored his meals.
When he first learned that his daughter liked another restaurant, Tan Wensu was a little angry and felt betrayed by his daughter.
He used to praise his daughter for being so great every day, but now he praises Kangle lunch boxes every day.
It was not until later when his daughter bought him Kangle lunch boxes that he understood why his daughter liked the Kangle lunch boxes so much. He also liked them after eating them.
He admitted that his cooking skills were indeed not as good as the boss of Kangle Lunch Box, and the gap was very large. He also wanted to have such great cooking skills.
When Tiantan Wensu saw the information about recruiting chef assistants at the Kangle Box Hotel, an idea popped into his mind that if he could learn from the owner of the Kangle Box Hotel, his cooking skills would definitely improve.
Tan Wensu submitted his resume on impulse and then received an interview notice. Before the interview, he felt that he would definitely pass the interview. After all, he was the head chef of a restaurant, and it would be easy to interview for a chef assistant in a restaurant.
But when he arrived at the interview site, Tan Wensu realized that his qualifications were not the highest among the many applicants. Among the applicants there were chefs from large restaurants and some hotel chefs.
At this time, Tan Wensu began to worry that he would fail the interview, so when he learned that he was hired, Tan Wensu was very happy.
When friends and relatives learned that Tan Wensu quit his job as a restaurant chef and went to work as a chef's assistant in a packaged food restaurant, they expressed their incomprehension, and many people advised him not to be impulsive.
Only his daughter supports her. She was so happy to know that he was hired by Kangle Boxed Lunch. Her father works in the boxed lunch restaurant he likes. If Kangle Boxed Lunch launches new dishes in the future, she will be the first to eat them. She is happy just thinking about it.
Another person hired by Chen Kangle was Yao Yan, who was a food blogger and even more popular than Xiang Yunting.
Yao Yan learned about Kangle Box Restaurant through Xiang Yunting. At that time, the gourmet circle was spreading the news that Xiang Yunting had gone to work as a chef's assistant in a small box restaurant.
At that time, Yao Yan was very curious about what kind of lunch box restaurant could attract a food blogger with tens of millions of fans to work as a chef's assistant.
After a while, Yao Yan happened to go to Jiangdong New District for something. She suddenly remembered that the lunch box restaurant where Xiang Yunting worked was right there in Jiangdong New District, so she decided to go and try it.
After tasting it, Yao Yan began to envy Xiang Yunting for being able to work in such a delicious boxed lunch restaurant. As a food blogger, why didn't he have the opportunity to work in such a delicious boxed lunch restaurant?
She regretted that she had not known Kangle Lunch earlier, otherwise she would have applied for the job.
This time, Yao Yan finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for. Kangle Box Restaurant was recruiting chef assistants again, and Yao Yan submitted his resume without hesitation.
When it came to the interview, Yao Yan found that she was the only female among more than ten applicants, and the rest were all male.
Yao Yan felt that his chances of passing the interview were probably slim. All restaurants did not like to hire female chefs. This was Yao Yan's experience.
Before becoming a food blogger, Yao Yan's dream was to be a chef, but every time she went for an interview, she was rejected because she was a girl. Everyone said that kitchen work was too hard and not suitable for girls, and that girls would not be able to stick with this job for long.
Later, Yao Yan had no choice but to become a food blogger.
When Yao Yan learned that she was hired by Kangle Box Restaurant, she jumped up with joy. She didn't expect that she was not disliked because she was a girl. It might be because the owner of the box restaurant was also a girl.
When selecting people, Chen Kangle did not consider the issue of gender at all. As long as they were excellent enough, she would consider them regardless of whether they were male or female.
During the interview, Chen Kangle paid attention to Yao Yan. She found that Yao Yan knew how to control the temperature very well. She could tell at first glance that she was a very talented person. In addition, Yao Yan seemed to love to laugh very much, so Chen Kangle chose her at first sight.
After the new employee officially started working, Xiang Yunting was assigned to the branch to prepare for its opening.
The branch opening date has been set, and it will officially open next Saturday.
