Shu Yun led Mr. Jin and the others to Table Nine, poured tea for each of them, and then hurried toward the small dining area where the employees were eating.
The Braised Pork Belly couldn’t be cooked on the spot, and a custor was willing to pay a high price for it. Her only option was to snatch the Braised Pork Belly ant for the employee al.
「Inside the small dining area.」
Cheng JianShe, unable to find any rice for himself, had no choice but to take so rice prepared for the custors. After serving himself a bowl, he sat down and eagerly tasted a piece of the Braised Pork Belly.
Mmm, this Braised Pork Belly is truly authentic. No wonder all the rice for the employee al was gone. With this Braised Pork Belly, one could definitely eat an extra bowl of rice.
Thinking about rice reminded him of what he had said at lunch, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
I had thought Master Lin was just a young man boasting, but it turned out I was the one with limited experience. Truly, a young hero has erged. Back when I was in my twenties, I was still just a kitchen helper who could only chop. But Master Lin is already capable of managing things on his own, his skills no less than those of the head chef in charge of the signature dishes. Perhaps this is a matter of talent!
Cheng JianShe was filled with deep emotion.
After he had two more pieces, the Braised Pork Belly on his table was all gone. But no worries, there was still so in the insulated pot nearby, set aside for employees who arrived late. Cheng JianShe planned to help himself to so.
However, just as he walked over with his plate, he saw Shu Yun, the front desk manager, hastily approaching and taking away all the remaining Braised Pork Belly from the insulated pot...
What’s going on? I’ve barely started eating!!!!!
Cheng JianShe asked, sowhat displeased, "Manager Shu, what is the aning of this?"
Everyone knows today’s Braised Pork Belly is delicious, but for you to take away the whole pot like this is simply outrageous, isn’t it? Why don’t you just dump the rice in there too while you’re at it?
At the next table, Xie Baomin, who was praising Lin Xu’s skills, also looked over, "What happened, Little Shu?"
Shu Yun explained, "It’s like this, Mr. Xie. One of our regular custors, Mr. Jin, saw the Braised Pork Belly in my bowl and thought it looked good. He offered to buy a portion for two thousand yuan just to try it..."
Xie Baomin had been a bit displeased at first. You, a front desk manager, suddenly ca over and took the dish reserved for the employees. You’re not giving , the executive chef, any consideration, are you?
However, upon hearing that soone was willing to pay two thousand yuan for Braised Pork Belly, he imdiately picked up the plate of Braised Pork Belly in front of him and offered it. "Here, here! I haven’t touched this plate yet. Take it away too!"
Phew... I was just worrying about how to increase the restaurant’s revenue, and now a custor willing to pay a high price for Braised Pork Belly shows up. What’s there to hesitate about?
Lin Xu, on the other hand, was inwardly astonished. A whole side of pork wouldn’t cost two thousand yuan, yet soone is willing to spend so much on just a few pieces of Braised Pork Belly... He looked at the servings of Braised Pork Belly on several tables and felt a twinge of heartache. All this food for tonight’s staff al... if sold, it would probably fetch over ten thousand yuan! No wonder Senior Brother got so excited upon hearing the price. But is it really necessary to sell the Braised Pork Belly that the employees are currently eating? That wouldn’t sound good if word got out.
He said to Xie Baomin, "Senior Brother, put that down. There’s still more Braised Pork Belly in the pot."
He had deliberately prepared extra Braised Pork Belly today, intending for Shen Baobao to take so ho. But now that a custor wanted to buy it, they naturally had to prioritize sales for the restaurant. After all, this concerned his senior brother’s performance.
When Xie Baomin heard there was more, he put his plate down, but then he imdiately asked, "Is there much left? Is it enough for a portion?"
"Absolutely enough!"
The Braised Pork Belly I set aside for Shen Baobao’s entire family? Of course that’s enough for one portion! Are you underestimating my father-in-law’s appetite for at or sothing?
Assured there was more Braised Pork Belly available, Shu Yun was also relieved. She put the insulated pot back in its place and then said to Lin Xu, "Thank you, Boss Lin. I’ll go ask the custor when they’d like to eat, and then I’ll have a waiter notify you to plate it."
After saying that, she hurried back to the front desk. She needed to communicate with the custor and also finish the rice she had left.
Mmm, such delicious food should not be wasted! The chefs in the back kitchen take turns cooking, and there’s no telling when it will be Boss Lin’s turn again. So, I have to eat as much as possible today, even if it ans jumping rope a little longer after work.
After everyone had eaten their fill, according to the kitchen rules, the chef responsible for cooking also needed to tidy up the tables and utensils. However, just as Lin Xu was about to start, Cheng JianShe, his stomach a bit rounder, ca over. "Master Lin, don’t you still have to serve the Braised Pork Belly to the custor? Hurry up and get ready for that. I’ll handle these small tasks. I was careless at noon. Next ti it’s your turn to cook, I’ll definitely steam more rice."
Since the custor outside might want the at at any mont, Lin Xu didn’t stand on ceremony. He wiped his hands with a towel and went to his stove.
It wasn’t long before a waiter ca to notify him to serve the Braised Pork Belly.
Lin Xu lifted the lid of the clay pot. He carefully arranged the Braised Pork Belly on a plate with chopsticks, skin side up. The succulent, red pieces quivered, looking tempting enough to take a bite. Considering the amount left, he arranged them in a four-by-four grid in the dish, each piece touching the others.
Once arranged, he poured the sauce from the clay pot over the at, which not only made the at’s color more glossy and vibrant but also made the aroma richer. The presentation imdiately went up a notch.
Such gorgeous at didn’t need any additional garnish; it would only be superfluous. Lin Xu handed the plate to the food runner to be served.
