Upon hearing Xu Lan's order, the new ladle also quickly poured oil into the already heated pot. After the oil was at the right temperature, he quickly poured vegetables, seasoned, etc. His actions were obviously much more skillful and swift than the previous one.
Halfway through the cooking, the cook said, "lower the fire." The cook quickly put some ashes into the stove hole, partially removed the fire cover, and the fire gradually became smaller.
Some onlookers couldn't help but nod: "The heat is well controlled."
The handles of the other two pots were also changed. The first person brought the dishes he had prepared and placed them on the table, while the second person quickly washed the pots, and then the cook also changed.
As for the others waiting, they took their chopsticks to try the dishes. Everyone took a chopstick and took a few bites, and then started to comment.
“Not bad, neither salty nor bland, very tasty.”
"It's not possible to cover up the smell of meat."
"Why do you have such a naughty mouth? Why can't I taste the smell of meat?"
"The aroma is enough, but after frying, the green color of the vegetables has darkened, which I don't think is good either."
After a group of people made reviews, they began to express their opinions. Some people thought it was good and some thought it was bad. But in the end, most people thought it was bad, so the dish was removed.
Around the chopping board are six waiters, who are quickly cutting various required vegetables.
Dunzi is also a technical job. The vegetables must be cut into uniform sizes and thicknesses, and the speed must be fast. The people who come to do this job are all skilled people. With casual movements, the vegetables cut out seem to have been carefully selected.
Qingyu bypassed them, came to Xu Lan, and asked: "How was it? Did it go well?"
Xu Lan smiled and nodded: "It went very smoothly. The comments made by all the masters were very pertinent. Even the slightest problem could not escape their mouths and eyes."
She really admires these people. They are really skilled.
Qingyu looked around and asked: "How many people have been chosen now?"
"The number of chefs who are recruited is the most, and it is also the most difficult to choose. They are all picky. Currently, there are only two senior chefs who have been unanimously recognized, and there are three more who are also more convinced.
Five of the fire masters have been confirmed, and all of them have been unanimously approved by others. The other six are the Dunzi, and the six masters are all very good at knife skills."
Qingyu nodded slightly. It only took half a day to achieve such a result, which was already very good. This would give these master chefs more time to familiarize themselves with Juxianzhai’s food menu.
She looked at it for a while, then left, but came to the other side of the compound, where Ye Qiu was.
Compared to the bustle of Xu Lan's place, Ye Qiu's place is much quieter. He mainly works as a waiter.
Because the waiter was recruiting forty people and the wages were generous, there were quite a few people who came to take the job. Qingyu took a quick look and saw that there were about thirty people sitting scatteredly on the seven tables and chairs in the courtyard.
Between these tables, chairs and benches, four waiters were "walking the talk". They held a rice bowl on their heads and two bowls of hot soup in their left and right hands, and quickly shuttled between the tables and chairs to "serve" the food.
Among them, some were walking as fast as flying, but either spilled the hot soup or dropped the rice bowl on their head; others, although the soup was not spilled or the bowl was dropped, were too cautious in their steps.
It should be noted that one of the special skills possessed by the waiter is running.
A truly skillful running hall walks differently. People squat a little shorter, move their feet but keep their upper body still. This is called "walking round the square", and it is also a must-have skill for running halls. The key lies in: walking quickly in small steps, keeping the upper body still.
Not moving at all.
Ye Qiu knew the waiter's tricks best, and he could tell at a glance who had real skills, so before the four people's "dishes" were served, he called stop.
Four more people followed.
Qingyu stood on the corridor and had a clearer view. This time, only two of the four were stopped midway. The other two undoubtedly had real skills on their feet and successfully delivered the "dish" to the table.
.
At this point, the test of running around has been passed, but that's not all.
At that time, the seven tables were filled with different numbers of empty plates with the names of various Juxianzhai dishes written on them, and the applicants who had just passed the first level were about to start the second level.
The "guests" sitting in the courtyard began to call "waiter", and then the waiter immediately came forward and responded with a smile, "What's the matter, sir?"
"Bill, please."
The person who accepted the invitation looked at the plate on the table and sang in his mouth, "Poria boiled chicken liver is two yuan and forty coppers, hawthorn mung bean soup is one yuan and twenty coppers, Pseudostellariae stewed chicken is three yuan and twenty coppers, Morinda wine
Two coins and seventy coppers, totaling nine coins and fifty coppers."
The other waiters on the table had already calculated their prices before and knew that the price was right, but this one was a bit too plain.
Several people shook their heads, obviously feeling that this was not enough.
The second unique skill of the waiter - singing hall, which includes the types of food ordered by the guests and the payment of the bill when the guests finish eating.
In addition to being able to shout well at all, these two voices also need to be melodious and melodious. A truly talented waiter can sing the restaurant's food list and the food orders ordered by the customers into melodic rhymes.
It is not easy to achieve this. Some aspiring waiters will seek advice from master folk masters who tell stories or sing "Xiaorehun" to learn their folk tunes and improvisational skills. Then they will use this skill
Used in singing hall.
A good singing hall can win applause from guests when singing in harmony. It can be said that the most exciting scenery above the lobby is the singing hall of the waiters.
Of course, the most important thing in a singing hall is the price.
After the diners have finished eating, the waiter has to report the dishes ordered by the diners and the total price to the shopkeeper. If something goes wrong in this step, it will be a downcast.
The shame is small. Many waiters are very likely to pack up and leave once they quote the wrong price.
After hearing the price quoted by the waiter, Ye Qiu also felt that he was not good at singing, so he called him to stop.
The next person came on, he looked to be in his forties, and as soon as he came on the stage, everyone in the yard started cheering.
Although Qingyu didn't understand the martial arts of a waiter, she could still feel the strength and confidence of the man on the field. She came to Ye Qiu's side and saw that Ye Qiu had drawn a red circle on the man's name.
"What is this man's background?" Qingyu asked.
Ye Qiu was concentrating, but he was suddenly startled. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands, "Miss Third." Then he sat down again, "This is the main hall of Changqing Tower. It is quite famous in this circle."
Zhengtang is the leader of all the waiters. For a person like this, and a famous person in this circle, he must be very good at it.
Sure enough, with a loud voice in the main hall, the people on the field immediately cheered.
However, amidst the numerous noises, the voice in the main hall was still able to penetrate the crowd and reach Ye Qiu's ears clearly, which showed that his skills were really deep.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but praise: "When I was a waiter, he was the person I admired most. He is really amazing."
A good main hall can even make a restaurant full of glory.
