Yes, how can I make a living with food in my belly?
If a chef makes a living by cooking food and eats the food from the guests, what can he do to survive?
This is not a matter of first-come-first-served basis, but a violation of discipline and cooking ethics. Is it good to eat just one bite? Is it full? I guess you should be laid off after you are full.
Many people think so, especially those who have eaten secretly.
Of course, some people disagreed and thought that Lao Tan was exaggerating and it was not that serious at all. What's the point of stealing something? Why should he be expelled?
This is what Niu Hongtai thinks.
He thought that Lao Tan was targeting him because he was only recorded when he was eating secretly. He thought that by targeting him, he was targeting the master, and asked the master to stop coming.
He raised his eyes to look at Wang Gang. Wang Gang had a serious look on his face, not looking at everyone but at the food stall.
"The ancestor left a commandment, no eating secretly. This is what we cooks should strictly abide by, and it is also a professional ethics. How can I make a living when I have enough food? Brothers, think about it." Lao Tan said with a complicated expression.
Mood said.
No one spoke.
"Li Xu, you are the assistant chef, what's the punishment for eating secretly at our house?" Lao Tan asked.
"You'll be fined 50 if you steal something." Li Xu replied.
"Niu Hongtai, is Li Xu right?" Lao Tan asked Niu Hongtai directly.
Niu Hongtai never dreamed that Lao Tan would ask him directly. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He tilted his head and stared, thinking for a long time before reluctantly saying: "Yes."
Lao Tan asked a chopping block who was stealing food: "Qi Zhijun, is what the sous chef said right?"
"Yes." Qi Zhijun replied with a red face.
The other few who were caught stealing food by Lao Tan quickly lowered their heads, fearing that the next one would ask them about it and start to regret it.
The employees who did not steal food were happy and waited to see Lao Tan's next move with the mentality of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
"There are state laws and family rules, and there is no rule without rules. Since we know how to deal with stolen food, let's follow the rules." After speaking, Lao Tan asked Niu Hongtai directly: "Nu Hongtai, do you have any objections?"
Niu Hongtai was stunned and felt that the situation was a bit serious. This bald man was going to come for real. If he had no objection, the fifty yuan fine would be implemented. If he had an objection and he admitted it just now, it would be like slapping himself in the face.
He looked at Wang Gang again, who was still looking at the food stall.
The brothers Cui Kai and Cui Xuan next to him looked at him sympathetically, with four words written on their faces - gloating at his misfortune.
"I just wanted to taste it." After Niu Hongtai finished speaking, he felt that he had no confidence.
"Young man, if you are wrong, you are wrong. Don't look for excuses. It won't do you any good. It will only make you lie." Lao Tan continued: "Although I don't know you very well, I know a general idea. This year is the 25th.
In your birth year, you are born in the year of the Tiger, like me. You are enterprising, and you are born in August. You are smart and can do whatever you see. But you lack toughness and are self-righteous, which is your biggest obstacle."
"My younger sister is in junior high school and studies very well. My mother has rheumatism and pancreatitis, so she can't do heavy work and takes a lot of medicine every year. We don't have much land at home, so my father goes to the provincial capital for two days and lives in Tiexi in the winter.
Pilings are being driven at a construction site in the square. The conditions at home are not good, but you are filial and send half of your salary home every month."
"I chatted with your dad for a while on the phone yesterday. He said that you studied well when you were in school and could pass the exam. You came out to work because of difficulties at home. I feel sorry for you. You are very thoughtful. Your master and I are both
I'm optimistic about you. You know what you are doing now and don't want to say more. I am a few years older than you, so I can call you the eldest brother. I can tell you that if we are not good at craftsmanship, we can learn from it, but if our character is not good, it will last a lifetime. If you don't change it, you can't
Someone help you.”
Niu Hongtai was silent.
Everyone also fell silent, feeling as if the words were spoken to oneself.
Niu Hongtai's eye circles gradually became red and moist, and he choked and said, "It's wrong for me to eat secretly, please punish me."
"The fine is fifty, pay it now." Old Tan looked serious.
"What?" Niu Hongtai was shocked, wiped away the overflowing tears and asked, "Can't it be deducted from the salary?"
"No, it's deducted from your salary by the boss, so you can't do it. The fine is from the kitchen. Your master and I will punish you and reward you. If you make a mistake, you'll be rewarded. If you perform well, maybe the money from the fine will be rewarded back to you."
"I don't have any money in my pocket." Niu Hongtai said with a bitter look on his face.
"If you don't have any money to borrow, pay it right away." Lao Tan's tone left no room for doubt.
Niu Hongtai had no choice but to look at Cui Kai and Cui Xuan for help. The two brothers emptied their pockets and collected thirty-four yuan, which was still short of sixteen. They borrowed it from the person next to them, but they didn't get it. They felt very embarrassed.
His face suddenly turned red to the root of his neck.
Seeing Niu Hongtai's embarrassment, Lao Tan said: "Brother, I hope you can understand a truth today. You make your own mistakes, and no one will pay for your mistakes. If you make mistakes, you must have the courage and ability to take responsibility.
This is a man!"
Then he looked at the crowd and said loudly: "We will hold an on-site meeting today to announce the penalties for stealing. Anyone caught stealing will pay a fine of fifty yuan. At the same time, the stall boss will be jointly and severally liable, which means that he
If the younger brother at the stall eats secretly, the boss will be punished along with him. The fine is paid to the sous chef, which is used as working capital for the kitchen. Those who have eaten secretly go to the sous chef to pay the fine voluntarily. It is best not to take any chances. How dare you not
Pay for yourself, and I'll find someone to pay for you."
This sentence is very useful. Everyone who had eaten secretly after Lao Tan came here consciously went to Li Xu to pay the fine. Those who had no money borrowed it. When borrowing money, they tasted it and no one was willing to pay for their mistakes.
The taste of.
Of course, there were also a few people who were just lucky, thinking that Lao Tan had forgotten them, and when Lao Tan looked at them, they all avoided them. After walking around a few times, they finally paid the fine after all - I really don't know what Lao Tan did.
Did you call your home? What if you did? They couldn't afford the gamble.
After the regular meeting, Wang Gang gave Lao Tan a thumbs up and said, "Master Tan, I obey you!"
Lao Tan smiled and said: "These children are quite good."
"I haven't had you in the past few days, and I know how to howl and curse people in a hurry."
"I also curse, it's normal."
The two came to the kitchen door and saw Wang Shulan taking fifty yuan to pay the fine. Wang Gang stopped her out of curiosity and asked: "Sister Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Shulan stopped, first smiled at Lao Tan, and then said: "Fat girl ate it secretly. I'm sorry to go, so I asked you to hand it over."
"She is so fat and still eats, how can she find her husband's family?" Wang Gang joked.
Wang Shulan smiled and passed.
Lao Tan and Wang Gang stood for a while, and Li Xu came over with a handful of money in his hand.
"Master Tan, how do you deal with this money?" Li Xu asked.
"I'll keep it with you. From now on, I'll keep all the fines from the kitchen here and save them as funds for activities." Lao Tan said.
"It's not good to let me go." Li Xu was a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong with that? Managing money is not a good thing," Lao Tan joked.
"You haven't taken care of your money, haven't you?" Li Xu said with a self-deprecating smile.
The problem of stealing food was solved by Lao Tan, and it became a popular catering story.
Lao Tan and Wang Gang came to Mr. Xu’s office.
Mr. Xu was very happy to see the guests come in together. In the past two days, he had been worried that Lao Tan and Wang Gang would not get together. Based on his understanding of Wang Gang, if Lao Tan could not suppress him, he would not cooperate.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Mr. Xu asked with a smile.
"Something's wrong," Lao Tan said.
Wang Gang and I came to the desk and took out the drawings and spread them out.
Mr. Xu didn't understand what was going on for a while, and asked curiously: "What does this drawing mean?"
Lao Tan moved the kitchen staff structure plan in front of Mr. Xu and said: "I will tell you the same thing, and you will understand it after I explain it. This picture is our kitchen staff structure chart. Take a look. I have put the positions and names of people.
, everything you are responsible for is marked, you should be able to see it clearly."
Mr. Xu picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully.
It is indeed very clear. Each stall is clearly marked, and the staffing is also included. It is clear at a glance what they do and what they are responsible for.
Looking at this picture, the entire kitchen is intuitively presented.
Mr. Xu exclaimed: "Okay, Old Tan, you can do it twice." Then he said to Wang Gang: "Look at others and learn from them."
"Isn't this just a lesson?" Wang Gang said.
Mr. Xu put the drawings on the table and looked at Lao Tan with questioning eyes.
Lao Tan said: "Mr. Xu, you can see the characteristics of our family in this picture."
After saying that, he took a ballpoint pen and circled the positions of Shangzi, stew stove, fish stove, large stew pot, and tofu shop.
"The products of these five stalls are all our characteristics and highlights, and most of the customers come here for them. I have looked at the business data of the past few days, and these five stalls account for one-third of the sales volume.
1. Wang Gang has straightened out these five stalls very well and has standards. The rest is to solidify, don't let it rebound, and then upgrade and improve, do better, and strive for excellence."
Mr. Xu nodded and said: "Yes, this is the characteristic of our family. It can be seen clearly if we draw it. It will be clearer if we can make it in color. You can go on."
Lao Tan circled the hot dish area and said: "This is our hot dish. There are six chefs, four waiters, ten chopping boards, eight waiters, a total of twenty-eight people, half of the kitchen is full of people, and the amount of money sold is
Accounting for one-third. Now the problem is concentrated here, the food cannot be served, the phenomenon of food shortage is serious, and five to eight dishes are returned every day."
"Wang Gang and we analyzed that there are three reasons why the dishes can't be served. The first is that the structure of the dishes is unreasonable, and the dishes are many and complicated, resulting in a wide variety of ingredients and slow delivery speed; the second is that the chef cannot keep up with the pace.
Not only is the serving time slow, but it also affects the quality of the product; the third is the cold dish, the pasta has no fire source, and the hot processing is completed on the hot dish stove. When busy, it competes with the hot dish for the fire source, resulting in no food being served."
Mr. Xu looked at the drawings and his brows gradually furrowed.
Lao Tan and Wang Gang looked at each other and continued: "Mr. Xu, Wang Gang and I studied this, and I will report it to you."
Mr. Xu looked at Lao Tan, waiting for him to continue.
"Our specialty is farm food, local food, old provincial food, and popular food is not suitable. Seize this characteristic, classify and analyze the existing dishes, keep the suitable ones, and cut off the unsuitable ones. Strive for refinement rather than excess.
, the number of servings rather than the number of samples is required, so that the characteristics of the hot dishes can be created." Lao Tan said.
"How many dishes are you going to keep?" Mr. Xu asked.
"I discussed it with Wang Gang and decided to keep sixty."
"Sixty ways?"
Mr. Xu was startled, and suddenly became angry, and said in a deep voice: "A shop of 5,000 square meters has 60 dishes, I'm kidding."
He felt that Lao Tan was a bit outrageous. He was joking, "Sixty dishes, what about children playing house? Do you want to make my restaurant look bad? It's too irresponsible."
Old Tan smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, sixty dishes are quite a lot, and there are also stews and steamed vegetables."
"That's too little." Mr. Xu said without a doubt: "We have a lot of dishes. I agree with your concept that the smaller the recipes, the higher the profits, but sixty dishes is definitely not acceptable."
Lao Tan nodded to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang asked Mr. Xu: "How many words are appropriate for you to say?"
