Idea? What idea?

Lu Yuan didn't know what he was trying to do.

"Hold on."

He signaled a few people to wait, opened the front door and walked out, and returned to the hall in less than half a minute, holding a dark black leather bag in his hand.

Tsk~

The zipper goes from left to right and the leather bag opens.

Lin Yue reached in and took out a rolled up leather sheath.

When he saw it for the first time, Lu Yuan's expression changed suddenly. As he expected, Jiang Haokun's good idea was a bad idea for him.

Bang~

Lin Yue unzipped the buckle and pushed it in the opposite direction of rolling up the holster.

The leather case was spread out on the table, revealing a set of very exquisite knives.

Steven's eyes widened. After all, he is also a Michelin chef, and he still has a good eye for identifying people eating.

"Okay, good knife, how come you have Bob Kemal's knife?"

Lin Yue said: "Fine wine is given to a close friend, and a sword is given to a knight. This set of knives is yours."

Steven was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly: "What did you say?"

"I said, this set of knives is yours."

After hearing the discussion from Pang Xu, Liu Hong and others, Steven realized that this set of knives costs at least 20,000 US dollars. How much is the salary of a chef in a foreign Western restaurant? Take a FINE DINING level restaurant as an example.

Under the premise of being a partner, the monthly salary alone is only about 100,000 US dollars a year. When you come to China, the salary will be reduced, let’s calculate 80,000 yuan, which is less than 40,000 RMB a month. Now the new boss is worth 3

A good knife for four months' salary.

He rummaged through his mind and suddenly remembered a word taught to him by a Northeasterner.

"Bright and bright! So bright and bright!"

The French speak Northeastern dialect, which tastes sour and refreshing.

Jiang Lai found that Lu Yuan's face was so dark that he looked like he was poisoned. She didn't know the origin of this set of knives, so naturally she couldn't figure out why he was like this. Could it be that the restaurant paid him less? But according to Manager Feng, it was already

It's too much. Steven's salary is only 40,000 yuan. What about Lu Yuan? 65,000 yuan, which is an increase of more than 50% in one go.

"Oh, let me tell you another good news. This set of knives was used by him before. It's very precious. I got it from his ex-girlfriend."

Lin Yue pointed to Lu Yuan and explained.

Now Jiang Lai knows why Lu Yuan has such a dark face.

Steven was very excited and gave him a hug directly: "Thank you BOSS, I like it very much."

Could he not like it?

Lu Yuan just gave him a slap in the face yesterday, which made him lose face in front of customers and kitchen staff, and he felt insulted. Now the new boss gave him the knife collected by Chef Lu's ex-girlfriend, and all of this came out at once

My whole body feels as comfortable as having a little girl massage my feet after taking a sauna.

"As long as you follow me and work hard, you will be able to trample him under your feet within three months."

Jiang Lai couldn't help but cursed: "Jiang Haokun, you are such a despicable person."

Lin Yue smiled coldly: "I can give my things to anyone who is willing to give them. Does this mean you are a despicable person? Are you an idiot?"

Jiang Lai wanted to talk back, but there was no chance. Lin Yue said "let's go" and left with the chef team he had just poached from the back kitchen.

"Lu Yuan, don't be sad, isn't it just a set of knives? I'll find someone to make a better set for you."

Facing Lu Yuan, her attitude was very low.

"Do you have anything else to do? I'm going to start working if you don't. There are still a lot of things to do in the kitchen."

Because of Gan Jing, Lu Yuan didn't want to get too close to Jiang Lai, and he couldn't take away knives. Also, the set of knives in Steven's hand had to be retrieved somehow. He regarded it as a treat with Gan Jing.

As a symbol of respectful relationship, things would only be considered complete if it returned to his hands. As for Jiang Haokun's words about stepping on the Gray Whale Restaurant under his feet, he didn't take it to heart at all. It was just Steven and those crooked melons.

Split date? Even if he loses his sense of taste, he can kill all of them in seconds.

"Hey, you..."

Jiang Laire pressed his face against his cold buttocks, feeling very upset. He turned his face and saw Feng Yufang pursed his lips and smiled. He shouted angrily, "Why are you laughing?", stamped his feet, and walked away with his handbag.

"baffling."

The restaurant manager muttered something under his breath and vented his anger on his employees.

"Go to work, go to work."

The front desk clerk left in a hurry.

…

Lin Yue was walking on the sidewalk with a group of people wearing chef uniforms. Passers-by looked sideways and wondered what kind of group they were. Two girls riding shared bicycles stopped and talked in low voices. I don’t know whether they were curious about what they were going to do or what they thought.

Steven's face is very distinctive...Only tourists coming to Shanghai from other places will pay attention to these foreigners with blue eyes and white skin. The locals have long been accustomed to it, and their impression of white people is better, while black people

Skin...it's hard to describe.

Less than 50 meters away from Gray Whale Restaurant, there is a small red brick building with a sense of age. Renovation workers are pasting the English name of Reef Restaurant on the plaque at the door. Through a row of floor-to-ceiling windows extending forward, you can see

to the furnishings inside.

The dining table is covered with white cloth, with goblets and rolled tablecloths placed on it. Next to it is a very stylish upholstered armchair, which looks like the feel of a luxurious restaurant.

Xiao Cai blinked his curious eyes, looking here and there. He was timid and very reserved.

Lin Yue led them into the front hall, and the tall female manager Dang Qian hurriedly came up with the purchase order.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the purchase order. The items you ordered have been put into the cold storage. The seafood supplier just called and they agreed to give us an additional 6 percentage points on the standard wholesale price. If you think it's okay,

They will send someone over in the afternoon to sign the agreement."

She looked at the boss with a strange look. Steven, Liu Hong and others didn't know why. The waiter nearby who counted the tableware and took notes knew it very well, because Dang Qian told them that this supplier was a subsidiary of Shanghai Fisheries Group.

, the restaurant she managed before had cooperated with this supplier, but the supply price was much higher than that for the Reef Restaurant.

Don’t underestimate this 6%, you can save a lot of money in one month.

This is just the wholesale price of seafood. The various types of steaks that are most in demand in Western restaurants also push the price to the limit. If you don’t work in a restaurant and hear from other people, you must think that the suppliers of Reef Restaurant are very low.

, 90% of the time it will be inferior, but the actual situation is that the steak supplier of the Reef Restaurant is MAYURA, a well-known company in Australia. Unless they want to damage their own brand, they will never do this.

There are also red wine, coffee, vegetables, and even table knives, forks, tablecloths... From ingredients to tableware, the prices given by suppliers are lower than those supplied to other restaurants. Also, last night she went to report on the progress of the work,

Mr. Tong, who had taken over the restaurant decoration project, arrived, and she clearly heard him telling Jiang Haokun that there was no urgency for the decoration payment. When the restaurant was on track and the money was rich, it would not be too late to settle the decoration fee.

Can you believe such a considerate contractor? But all of this is actually happening right in front of you.

How did the boss do it?

This question has troubled her for a long time, but she has not received an answer until today.

In fact, the kitchen supplies are in place earlier than the dining tables and chairs in the front room. She has asked whether to post recruitment advertisements. Even if the chef wants to go abroad to hire, the second chef, cutting board station, pastry chef, and assistants should be there.

I'll look for it in China, but she doesn't need to worry about what the boss said.

Okay, she didn't worry about it, but it was about to open, and she didn't see a single chef. If she said she wasn't in a hurry, she would be lying. She thought she would mention the matter of finding a chef today, but she didn't expect the boss to go to a friend.

Send invitations and bring back a whole kitchen staff.

That’s awesome!

"I have to go out in the afternoon. Tell them to come over at 4:30."

Lin Yue's words interrupted her random thoughts.

"Okay." Dang Qian nodded in agreement.

"By the way, since everyone is here, let's introduce ourselves and get to know each other, so that we can look after each other in future work." Lin Yue looked at Steven and then at Dang Qian: "Who comes first?

"

"I'll go first." Dang Qian extended her right hand generously and said in fluent English: "My name is Dang Qian. I used to work at Fulou French Restaurant and Mercato. Now I am the manager of Reef Restaurant. I hope to work with you in the future.

Let’s all live in harmony and make progress together.”

Steven pinched part of her finger and said: "Miss Dang, you can speak Chinese, I can understand it. Oh, by the way, I am Steven, from France."

Dang Qian was very happy: "That's great, Mr. Steven."

After the chef and manager introduced themselves, next came the second chef, Touzhen and others. When it was finally the turn of the second chef assistant Xiao Cai, he rubbed his hands and took a step forward: "My name is..."
