Chapter 542 Admonition
Although the woman's voice was not loud, it carried throughout the entire kitchen.
Those who were busy stopped what they were doing when they saw her appear, and greeted her respectfully, "Manager Wan!"
Wan Qiqi nodded in response, "Keep busy, don't worry about me."
As she spoke, she walked to Feng Qing's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "Teach them well. I believe you have the ability."
Feng Qing was taken aback, then said, "Alright, I will definitely live up to Manager Wan's expectations."
After he finished speaking, he spoke even more enthusiastically to the people next to him.
If Feng Gan were here now, he would definitely want to know what kind of drug Wan Qiqi had given his distant cousin to make him so obedient.
But he is not here at this moment, nor will he appear in the kitchen.
Given Feng Gan's personality, he felt that stepping into the kitchen would dirty his feet.
But Wan Qiqi was very enthusiastic about it because this place could bring her endless benefits, and it was also where she started making money.
Lei Zi thought Wan Qiqi would scold him when she came in, but he found that she walked around the kitchen, giving instructions one by one, with a smile on her face.
This slow pace caused Lei Zi some psychological torment.
Lei Zi is a fast-paced person, quick to speak and impulsive in his actions.
Wan Qiqi did this precisely because she understood Lei Zi's situation, in order to temper his mind.
Panda and Lei Zi were driven out of Yunhe County because Lei Zi acted impulsively and sought help from others.
If Lei Zi doesn't change, he will also be defeated by this in the future.
Wan Qiqi circled around and finally stopped beside Lei Zi, saying, "Er Pang, you go ahead and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. We don't need you here."
"Okay." Erpang looked back every three steps, full of sympathy for Lei Zi.
Lei Zi watched Erpang leave and wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Manager Wan.
He lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Manager Wan, you know I get dizzy just looking at words, and when I'm dizzy, I can't cook well..."
"Why is it that only you have this problem, while Panda and Feng Qing don't?" Wan Qiqi interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
Then, her tone turned cold as she said, "As a cook, if you're not even willing to look at the recipes, what are you even cooking for? You should just go home and farm, then you'll need to learn to read!"
As she spoke, she swept her hands across the menu on the table.
The recipe flipped through a few pages in the air before landing on the ground.
Wan Qiqi's scolding echoed in the kitchen, making everyone's breathing tighten.
Some people in the kitchen initially resisted Wan Qiqi's discipline, but after witnessing her cooking skills and management abilities over the past few days, they chose to remain silent.
Although the shopkeeper was a woman, her cooking skills were just as good as those of the hired chefs.
In fact, she even came up with ideas for most of the restaurant's decor.
Everyone watched as this restaurant transformed from a chaotic mess into its current orderly state.
If we hadn't taken into account the opening date, the front of the hall would be ready to welcome guests immediately.
However, these are all superficial. What truly affects a restaurant's operation is its food and the service provided by its staff to customers.
Wan Qiqi's reprimand was for the sake of the restaurant's better foothold in Yunhe County in the future.
The new recruits understand, and so does Lei.
Seeing Manager Wan so angry, Lei Zi lowered his head and apologized, "Sister Qi, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will change this habit!"
Whether it was Lei Zi's sincerity or not, Wan Qiqi's arrogance seemed to have subsided somewhat, but she still didn't give Lei Zi a friendly look.
"This time, the restaurant will not only offer dishes, but also some dim sum, all of which are available on the market. However, I have made some changes. Please take a look and see if there is anything you don't understand." Wan Qiqi's tone still carried a hint of coldness, but it was better than before.
When Lei Zi heard that he was to look at the recipe, he was in a real bind. He picked up the recipe, frowned, and quickly began to look at it.
Soon after, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his face turned slightly pale.
It's clear that he wasn't joking when he said he gets dizzy while reading; it's a genuine problem that makes reading very uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Feng Qing quickly came over to interrupt Lei Zi, turned to one of the pages, and said, "Manager Wan, there's something I don't quite understand. Could you teach me?"
Wan Qiqi knew he was helping Lei Zi, but she didn't expose him. She glanced down at the recipe.
The item on the page she opened was the one she changed the most; it was a type of dessert similar to snow skin mooncakes.
There are similar pastries made with glutinous rice on the market. They not only look beautiful, but also taste soft and chewy, much like modern snow skin mooncakes, so she chose this one as well.
However, compared to the ones outside, hers needs some vegetable and fruit juice added for color adjustment, which will make it look even prettier.
It's understandable that Feng Qing would have questions about this product.
"Okay, I'll walk you through it once, try to remember it the first time, and then practice a few more times on your own to ensure a smooth opening."
After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, she started to work.
She had tried almost all the desserts on the recipe herself to make sure there were no problems before adding them, so she seemed very familiar with them.
Others who had never seen Manager Wan cook food by hand also gathered around, wanting to witness Manager Wan's skills and see if they were really as good as the rumors suggested.
Half an hour later, flower-shaped pastries pressed out with molds were presented to everyone.
"These are so beautiful, they look just as good as the pastries from Zuijianglou."
"I remember there was a dessert at Zuijianglou that looked a bit like this, but ours looks better."
"I really want to try it..."
After saying that, Wan Qiqi said calmly to Lei Zi, "Cut it up so we can all have a taste."
Lei Zi immediately took up his knife and cut all four pastries on the table, so that everyone could take a piece to taste.
