Chapter 189 Entering the Kitchen of Zhiweixuan for the first time
The next day, Tongdao Xu learned the lesson from last night and purchased a lot more ingredients.
He was looking forward to tonight's business, hoping that it would be as good as last night.
In the morning, he was making mutton soup and braised mutton in the store...
There was a lot of preparation work to do, and in the blink of an eye, the whole morning passed by.
At around 11 o'clock, a semi-old black Santana stopped outside his store. The driver was a thin man in his 30s.
After getting off the car, the man strode into the store. As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Master Xu? Is Master Xu here? Who is Master Xu?"
"Which Master Xu are you looking for? My surname is also Xu. You are not looking for me, are you?"
Xu Tonglin, who was sitting in the hall wearing string strings with Ge Lianghua and Xi Dongyang, frowned and asked.
"Are you Master Xu?"
The thin man frowned and looked Xu Tonglin up and down, and his tone became hesitant, "Mr. Zhang asked me to pick up Master Xu, are you sure you are really Master Xu? By the way, Mr. Zhang told me, Master Xu's name is Xu Tongdao, are you really
yes?"
Xu Tonglin was also sizing up the other party. Hearing this, he curled his lips and shouted into the kitchen, "Trail! Someone is looking for you!"
In fact, without him shouting, Comrade Xu had already heard the conversation outside in the kitchen.
The reason why he didn't come out immediately was because he couldn't let go of what he was doing for the time being.
He is cutting haggis.
The Whole Sheep Feast has been launched for such a long time, and he has accumulated some experience. Things like haggis can be cut in advance and used for later use.
When guests order in the evening, you can just bring it over and use it, which saves time.
"Who is it! Let him in!"
Comrade Xu did not stop what he was doing and was still cutting the haggis skillfully.
"People sent by Mr. Zhang!"
Xu Tonglin's answer came from the front hall.
After a while, the thin man walked into the kitchen, looked at Tongdao Xu, and introduced himself. It turned out that he was the driver arranged by Zhang Fafa for Tongdao Xu, and he would be responsible for transporting Tongdao Xu back and forth between the city and the county every day.
According to his introduction, his surname is Li, and his full name is Li Sansheng.
A very strange name.
Comrade Xu wanted to ask: Which three victories are they?
Of course, he wasn't that bored, so he didn't ask.
Tongdao Xu also knew the reason for Li Sansheng's visit. He was sent by Zhang Fafa to pick him up and take him to Zhiweixuan.
He said that he had something to discuss with him and asked him to go there.
Tongdao Xu frowned, but he had already signed an agreement with Zhang Shanfa, and he went to Hungry Wolf Legend to sell a lot of vegetables last night. According to the agreement, his time during the day belonged to Zhang Shanfa.
"Okay! Let's go then!"
Comrade Xu seized the time and finished what he was doing. After leaving the kitchen, he gave some instructions to Ge Lianghua and the others. He did not change his clothes. He just took off the apron around his waist and went out to get into Li Sansheng's car.
Fortunately, in one morning, he was almost done with the preparation work that should be done in his own store. The remaining small things such as threading strings could be left to Xu Tonglin, Ge Lianghua and the others.
…
Li Sansheng is not a talkative person.
Probably not?
Anyway, after getting in the car, Xu Tongdao closed his eyes and rested his mind. He just happened to be a little sleep-deprived recently, so it would be good to catch up on some sleep along the way.
In the dream, the sun and moon are short.
Tongdao Xu was in a trance, feeling that he dared to fall asleep for a while before being woken up by Li Sansheng.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the car was parked outside the gate of Zhiweixuan where Zhang Fang lived.
"Master Xu! We are here."
Li Sansheng smiled and told Xu Tongdao that he had even opened the car door for Xu Tongdao.
"Oh, good! Good job!"
Comrade Xu shook his head to calm himself down. When he got out of the car, he took out his cigarette case and handed Li Sansheng a cigarette.
Li Sansheng was quite surprised. Xu Tongdao closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car. He thought that Xu Tongdao was very proud and looked down on him as a driver!
Li Sansheng: "Master Xu, go in by yourself! I'll park the car first."
Comrade Xu hummed and walked towards the store door.
He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was already past 12 o'clock.
It's lunch time.
Outside the store, just like the last time he came, there were two beautiful girls in cheongsam standing on the left and right.
Seeing the cheongsams with high slits on their bodies, another crazy thought came to his mind - it was so cold, why didn't they use needles and thread to sew up the slits?
"Welcome to Zhiweixuan..."
The two girls in cheongsam, not knowing what was going on in someone's head, still bowed and read their lines like last time.
Tongdao Xu smiled, nodded slightly, and walked straight into the store.
The proprietress Jiang Meili was standing at the bar, and there was a cashier girl standing next to her. Jiang Meili was talking to the girl.
Suddenly seeing Comrade Xu walking in, Jiang Meili immediately had a warm smile on her face and greeted him warmly.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, you're here? Like this! I'll take you to the kitchen! Your biological brother is in the kitchen right now! Come on! I'll take you there!"
…
The kitchen at Zhiweixuan is not small.
Comrade Xu followed Jiang Meili, whose waist was swaying, and saw that the kitchen had special cold dishes room, pastry room, barbecue room, and a long Chinese hot dish room.
The four master chefs were busy in front of the hot stove.
The rumbling sound of the smoke machine made everyone in the kitchen shout at the top of their lungs, otherwise they wouldn't be heard at all.
At first glance, there are quite a few employees in this kitchen.
There are two masters at the steaming stove, four cutters at the chopping board, and behind the four ladle masters, there are three apprentices working on the basket.
General manager Zhang Changfa was getting together with a smooth-skinned middle-aged man. They were talking about something and their heads were almost touching.
"Ah Sheng! Ah Sheng! Xiao Xu is here, Xiao Xu is here!"
Jiang Meili trotted over quickly to remind Zhang Fang.
Zhang Fangfa and the middle-aged man with a smooth face looked towards Comrade Xu.
Seeing Comrade Xu, a big smile appeared on Zhang Fafa's face. He turned around, said something to the middle-aged man, and hurried over to greet him.
Tongdao Xu could tell who the middle-aged man was at a glance.
Because of the chef uniform the other party was wearing.
It has a golden collar and a golden dragon embroidered on the chest.
This kind of chef uniform can only be worn by head chefs in regular hotel kitchens.
Zhang Changfa enthusiastically put his arm around Xu Tongdao's shoulders and led Xu Tongdao out of the kitchen and into a small, quiet office.
This should be the chef's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Fafa introduced the head chef to Mr. Xu.
Xu Tongdao couldn't tell what the head chef was thinking, but the smile on his face was bright. When Zhang introduced it to them, the head chef immediately held Xu Tongdao's right hand with both hands and said enthusiastically:
"Welcome, welcome! Master Xu, right? Mr. Zhang has already told me that from now on, all the dishes for the whole sheep feast will be left to you! By the way, according to Mr. Zhang's instructions, I have prepared a special stove for you.
We have also assigned you a special cutter and apprentice. I will take you to see it later. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just say so! I will try my best to solve it for you!"
To be honest, Tongdao Xu was a little afraid of this head chef.
Because in his previous impression, this kind of smiling and tiger-like chef was the most difficult to deal with.
