When traveling far away from your homeland to a foreign country, impulsiveness definitely plays a large part.
Originally, Zhou Ziyu had applied for the passport and visa by himself, and planned to contact Chen Xiao when he arrived in San Francisco. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao suddenly returned to China, and the two met again...
Zhou Ziyu was ready to make a career here with Chen Xiao, but now, he is just a soy sauce, and there is a gap in his heart, and the gap is still very big...
Chen Mo boiled water and put the steamed buns on it.
Chen Xiao also went downstairs: "Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, just chatting." Chen Mo absorbed and left the kitchen, opened the door to the living room and stretched out.
Mornings in the Bay Area are a bit chilly.
"Brother, can you find a job for Ziyu?" Chen Xiao said.
"It's okay. I can find a job on my own, so I don't need to bother my brother." Zhou Ziyu said.
"Don't be brave, okay." Chen Xiao puffed up his cheeks, held Zhou Ziyu's hand, and looked at Chen Mo.
"What...are you willing to do?" Chen Mo thought for a moment and then said, "What are you willing to do?"
“I used to be involved in building a new brand car sales network, and I just traveled around and helped people with promotions.”
"What are you willing to do... There are not many jobs I can introduce to you. One is ranch work. You can work in my ranch or other ranches. Instead, go to Chen Xiao's company and work as a company clerk. You can
If you do well, there should be room for improvement in the future. Or maybe learn to cook."
Zhou Ziyu is not a shy person. He knows very well that if he goes out to find a job on his own, it may be difficult to support himself in San Francisco: "I have no plans for the future. I just have a stable job that can support my family in the future."
.Brother Chen Mo, can you help me analyze which job I should do best."
"In my ranch, the initial monthly salary is 4,000 US dollars. Later it may rise to 7,000 US dollars, or even more than 10,000 US dollars per month, but it is difficult. When I went to Chen Xiao's company, the monthly salary as a company clerk was about 3,500 US dollars. If I could rise to management
The class is still very promising, there are more opportunities, and in big cities, you can see a lot. In the end, if you want to learn to be a chef, it depends on your personal talent..."
"Being a chef is very hard. The salary during the apprenticeship is not high or no salary at all. You have to measure it yourself."
Zhou Ziyu looked at Chen Xiao...
Chen Xiao was a little moved: "Brother, are you going to let Ziyu become Master Jing's disciple?"
"Well, I don't know if Lao Jing is willing to take him in." Chen Mo smiled and reached out to rub Chen Xiao's hair: "You and Chen Chen have grown up, and Chen Chen is already married... Although he works at my place
, but he didn’t get much extra care. I planned a path for him. How he goes in the future depends on him. I won’t interfere. The same goes for you. I can’t take care of you forever. There are hundreds of people.
A wealth of money is not as good as having one skill. I hope Ziyu will become a chef... Of course, it depends on you, Ziyu."
chef……
Zhou Ziyu was a little confused. He had never thought of becoming a chef.
"Then...thank you Brother Chen Mo." Zhou Ziyu was reluctant to become a chef, not because he was afraid of hardship, but because he felt that there was no future.
"Don't thank me in a hurry. We still have to see if Master Jing is willing to accept you."
Learning to cook does not mean that you will be a chef for the rest of your life. The knowledge here is very deep, but Chen Mo is too lazy to talk about it. And because of this relationship, being a chef is the most promising choice...
The steamed buns in the kitchen were almost ready. Chen Mo went back and opened the lid of the pot, turned off the fire, and took out the hot steamed buns...
Chen Chen went through the procedures for his father to leave the rehabilitation center and helped his father pack his things when he came back. Chen Mo and the others were washing the car in the yard.
"Dad, Mom."
Chen Mo stepped forward to help Chen's father, who waved his hand and said, "No need to help, that's it."
After sitting at home for a while, Father Chen was ready to go to the ranch...
Chen Xiao got on the Ford e350, Chen Mo drove the Porsche 918, pulled Zhou Ziyu into his car, and drove him to the Tangxia Yipin Dishes R&D Department...
Master Jing’s current job is to train chefs and assess chefs for the company, and he also manages a high-end restaurant in Twin Peaks...
Things about the chef academy cannot be finalized in a short while. It is normal for it to take a year and a half to wait until the formal start of the establishment.
He called Master Jing. He was taking classes in the food research and development department of Twin Peaks. Chen Mo brought Zhou Ziyu over and introduced him to Master Jing: "Master Jing, this is my younger brother. I want him to learn cooking under you."
."
Jing Chenghong frowned and pinched Zhou Ziyu's wrist and the muscles in his hand: "Learning to cook is very hard. You have to really like it, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve anything. The muscles in your hands are a little weak, but they are still good.
Okay..." Jing Chenghong said and looked at Zhou Ziyu: "There are also rules in the chef world. If you want to accept me as your teacher, you must at least offer me three cups of good tea. Hahaha..."
"Thank you, Master Jing." Chen Mo clasped his hands and said with a smile.
Zhou Ziyu also said: "Thank you, Master Jing."
Chen Mo patted his head gently: "Now I change my words, call me master."
"Thank you, master." Zhou Ziyu was a little stunned and said sarcastically.
"It depends on your performance whether you can become my apprentice." Jing Chenghong waved his hand: "Have you ever had the foundation of a chef before?"
"No." Zhou Ziyu said awkwardly.
"Then...you will have to suffer a lot in the future. Learning skills from me is not an easy job. Mr. Chen, if one day this kid can't endure the hardship anymore and runs away, don't blame me."
"If you can endure hardships, you can become a master. If you can't endure even this little hardship, I will forget this younger brother. Anyway, I have no blood relationship with him..." Chen Mo shrugged and glared at Zhou Ziyu threateningly.
"I promise to learn the craft well from my master."
"Everyone can say good things, but few can do it." Chen Mo looked at Zhou Ziyu: "Whether it is a mule or a horse, we will know later. This Master Jing is a state banquet master, a master of the eight major cuisines in China, and a first-class soup and summer chef.
The company's chef director, the chef who manages hundreds of restaurants in the company...Master Jing is willing to take you on, you really have to study hard. Otherwise..."
Only then did Zhou Ziyu put aside his contempt for chefs and step into the world of chefs. With such a chef, it should be said that he has reached the top in one step?
Jing Chenghong chuckled and said: "Don't worry, I will train him well. Zhou Ziyu, when will I drink your three cups of good tea, when will you change your name and call me master. I have very strict requirements for my apprentices."
…”
"Master Jing, Zhou Ziyu will leave it to you from now on. I don't know when I can come to work here."
"I'll call the Human Resources Department. After registering with the Human Resources Department, you can come over at any time."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble." Master Jing shook his head and made an invitation: "Come in and sit."
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
The dish research and development department is also the chef training base for Tangxia Yipin.
Even the chefs of restaurants will come here to learn. Ordinary chefs must pass the assessment here, and apprentices and errands in various restaurants who want to become chefs must go through the training and assessment here.
Tangxia Yipin has developed very quickly, especially in the kitchen area, without much accumulation.
People who come to the R&D department for training and assessment are Chinese, white, black, and Mexican.
There is a restaurant, a small kitchen, a large kitchen, and a cooking room.
The small kitchen is where the chef apprentices stay. There are more than twenty people inside, all peeling potatoes with large kitchen knives.
The peeled potatoes will be sent to various restaurants and hot pot restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to peeling potatoes, they also peel lettuce, cut potatoes into shreds, lettuce shreds, etc., mainly to train the chef's control of the chef's knife...
For example, in Los Angeles, special machines are used to peel potatoes.
Peel potatoes in the morning, practice knife skills in the afternoon, and carve radishes, pumpkins, etc.
There is basically no salary for training here, but the training places here are all over the place. After leaving here, the minimum monthly salary you can get is 5,000 US dollars. Depending on the restaurant's performance at the end of the year, there will also be a reward share
…
The training space is limited, and most of those who can come here for training cherish the opportunity now. When the scenery masters came in, they all sped up their movements.
"It's not easy to be a chef. Especially to be a Chinese chef, you have to learn the basic knife skills for a long time."
The small kitchen is the place for the apprentices, and the large dining room is the place for the head chef, or the head chef of the small restaurant.
There are not only chef courses, but also kitchen management courses. Tangxia Yipin expanded too fast before, especially the appointment of chefs in small restaurants. Some restaurants were not reasonable and needed to be re-evaluated...
The content of the assessment not only looks at cooking skills, but also mainly assesses an individual's comprehensive ability and whether he or she is qualified for the position of chef.
The kitchen room is also called the chef room. It is a place where the chefs of the company's major restaurants learn and make progress together. They develop new dishes together and formulate fixed procedures for gourmet cooking...so that Chinese food can be as streamlined as Western food.
