The Journey Starting from the Siheyuan Chapter 551 Lu Yuan’s cooking skills are not good
At 11:00 noon, Wang Lidong's car slowly drove into the gate of No. 200 Yongfu Road.
When the three of them walked from the parking lot to the "Jude Hall", the main entrance of the restaurant, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother looked a little unhappy.
There is a poster hanging next to the door, with a bust of Lu Yuan with yellow eyes printed on it. Below it is a line of large characters---Michelin three-star chef chef Gray Whale, followed by a long paragraph of text introduction bragging about this guy.
Wang Lidong took out his mobile phone and searched, and found that all the dark history of Lu Yuan was gone. Now it was all news about this guy's highlight moments. When he turned to page 4, all kinds of bad things about him appeared.
Restaurant, jail...
It should be the money Jiang Lai spent.
hehe.
I really don’t regard money as money.
As far as he knew, if he wanted to save his mother without Lu Yuan's negative thoughts in the first three pages, it would cost almost a million dollars a year.
Manager Feng, who was greeting guests at the gate, saw the three Jiang family members and hurriedly ran forward with an old face smiling like a sunflower.
"Chairman, Madam, Mr. Jiang welcomes you..."
Father Jiang nodded slightly when he saw the old employee.
Seeing that the expressions of the old couple seemed not to be very good, Manager Feng became even more cautious and reached out to invite:
"Chairman, Madam, still in the same position?"
Father Jiang waved his hand and said, "We will sit in the lobby outside today. Is there any room?"
Even if there are no vacancies, one must be made available for the three of you.
Manager Feng smiled and led the three of them to a table by the window. After Jiang's father sat down, he asked, "Are you here?"
Manager Feng said hurriedly: "Manager Jiang should be in the kitchen, I have already sent someone to notify..."
Kitchen?!
The old couple's faces turned darker again.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Cao Cao was about to arrive, and Jiang Lai, dressed in black uniform, appeared quietly, "Dad, why didn't you tell me before you came, so that I could pick you up personally."
Jiang's father said: "I was just passing by and wanted to come in and see you. Your mother and I haven't been here since you went to work."
"So you didn't come to see me specially?" Jiang glanced at the empty seat next to Wang Lidong, pulled a chair from the table next to him and placed it on the aisle, "Mom and Dad, you came just in time to try Samsung.
The craftsmanship of a chef.”
Jiang's mother asked: "The three-star chef you are talking about is Lu Yuan?"
Jiang Lai smiled and nodded: "But I managed to dig it out."
Jiang's mother said: "Come on, are you still with this person..."
"Mom, the relationship between us is just a boss and an employee now." Jiang Lai said: "What do you want to eat for lunch? How about I order some..."
He said to Manager Feng beside him: "Old Feng, go to the kitchen and tell Lu Yuan that he will cook in person and use the best..."
Jiang's father suddenly said: "Let's order the food ourselves. It's our first time here, and people will definitely not know our taste."
Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment and nodded.
After ordering, Jiang Lai got up and went into the kitchen. He found Lu Yuan who was cursing, pulled him aside, and solemnly said: "My parents are here."
"Second chef, move quickly, what kind of sheep work are you touching? Are you looking for a slap in the face?!"
Lu Yuan pointed at a fat man not far away and sneered, then turned to look at Jiang Lai: "Come here, you're not my parents..."
Before he finished speaking, he immediately understood and asked urgently: "Will your parents eat here?"
Jiang Lai nodded: "Remember to cook the dishes for table 8 yourself. Show your true skills and make sure the old couple is satisfied."
"Don't worry." Lu Yuan looked confident, but he was a little confused. His sense of taste had not fully recovered and he could taste whether it was salty or sweet.
After practicing at home for 2 months, I am confident in making only a dozen dishes now.
So after taking over Gray Whale's kitchen, he let the second and third chefs handle most of the dishes.
But he couldn't get over the food on the table today.
I couldn't help but secretly pray that this little Bichi, the goddess of luck, must work hard today. I hope that the dishes ordered by table 8 are all her specialty dishes...
Otherwise... if I mess up, my annual salary of 12 million will be suspended, and the mortgage on the house I just bought will be suspended...
Just as Lu Yuan clicked on the menu for table 8, Jiang Lai was chatting and laughing with the old couple in the lobby.
"Dad, after I took over, our restaurant's sales increased by 25% compared to before."
"It's increased so much? You've done a good job here."
Father Jiang glanced at the packed lobby and nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Lidong secretly complained that when he ordered the dishes just now, he saw that the prices of the dishes had mostly increased by more than 50% compared to three months ago. He estimated that today's per capita consumption would not be affordable even at 4,000 yuan.
Just because of the aura of a three-star chef, wow, there are so many fools... we can never finish cutting the leeks...
Jiang Lai took his father's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, you promised me that if you do well, you will promote me..."
Father Jiang smiled: "Okay, dad promises you a promotion after the Chinese New Year..."
Jiang Lai smiled and said: "Dad, this is what you said, don't lie about it then..."
"Smoked ham, egg, shrimp, cucumber toast, aioli, croquettes...
While chatting, the waiter started serving the food.
The appetizers were so-so...
“Crispy onion soup....”
Father Jiang took a sip and almost escaped death.
Is this a grudge against salt, or do they not have to spend money to buy their salt... He glanced at the red wine in front of him, reached for the beer in front of his son and took two sips...
Jiang Lai said:
"Dad, this soup...?"
Father Jiang said with a stinky face: "Try it yourself."
Jiang Lai took the spoon and took a sip, then immediately handed the bowl of soup to the waiter beside him, "Let the chef cook it himself."
"Okay, Manager Jiang."
Wang Lidong asked the waiter to bring an empty glass and pour a beer for Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, so that they would not have to grab his wine later.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lai wanted to throw the red wine in front of his bastard brother in the face.
"Black truffle pan-fried foie gras..."
After taking one bite of foie gras...Wang Lidong was not interested in taking the second bite. It was a bit fishy and very greasy...
"What's wrong, Haokun?" Jiang's mother asked curiously when she saw this.
"I can't eat anymore."
What a strange yin and yang! This is giving yourself eye drops again.
Jiang Lai took a bite and tasted it, "No, I think it's pretty good. Is my brother feeling unwell... Why don't I go to the hospital this afternoon to check..."

Wang Lidong smiled.
The next pan-fried lamb chops, veal, and original Wagyu beef were all good... which made the couple feel a lot better.
Jiang Lai also breathed a sigh of relief.
“French Creamy Mussels”,
Jiang's mother took one, dug out the meat and put it into her mouth, then immediately spit it out... Feeling the strange taste in her mouth, she stood up and said:
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Jiang Lai hurriedly tasted one... A wild taste rushed into her taste buds... It reminded her of the blue sea and the seagulls flying above the sea level... Those who didn't know it thought it was Japanese.
The food... was tasteless... I spit out the shellfish in my mouth on the bone plate, and handed a plate of mussels to the waiter with a dark face: "Let the chef make another one."
"No need." Jiang's father put down the knife and fork in his hand, waited until Jiang's mother came back, got up and left!
He just paid attention, and in just a few minutes, 8 dishes were withdrawn within the scope of his sight.
In addition to the few dishes I have tasted, the ones that are the best are at the level of a one-star restaurant.
Trickery!
Since he started doing business as a teenager, he has adhered to the concept that only by running a business with integrity can it be successful for a long time.
For decades, whether they were engaged in aquaculture business or building houses, the Jiang family never played tricks.
But today...
Jiang Lai hurriedly stepped forward and took his father's arm.
"dad!"
Father Jiang waved his hand: "Go home!"
There was silence all the way, and half an hour later, Wang Lidong walked into the living room.
Seeing that the old couple were sitting on the sofa without saying a word, Jiang Lai activated the "I am a little cotton-padded jacket" skill again, squatting obediently at Jiang's feet and flattering him.
Jiang's father saw his son coming in and pointed to the sofa diagonally opposite: "In this audit, what exactly happened to Gray Whale?"
After Wang Lidong sat down, he turned on the TV and then cast the screen on his mobile phone.
A report popped up on the TV screen.
"There are a few questions.
First, there is the issue of salary. This is the salary schedule of Gray Whale Restaurant last month."
The old couple took a look and found that there didn't seem to be any big problem, except that the chef Lu Yuan had received half a year's salary in advance.
Wang Lidong clicked on another salary list from six months ago, and the couple immediately noticed something was wrong.
In just a few months, the wages of chefs have more than tripled, and those in other departments have also increased by 30%.
