Seeing Lin Xu making stock, Qi Zhentao wasn’t idle either and started helping out.
During the process, each step was explained in detail.
"Later, we should establish the workflow for the Soup Departnt and put it on the wall to prevent anyone from enacting personal innovations and tarnishing the na of Yanjing Hotel."
Previously, soone only talked about innovation, which truly opened Lin Xu’s eyes.
If that counts as innovation, then letting my own Shen Baobao stay in the kitchen for two days wouldn’t result in the creation of the ninth culinary category?
Indeed, there are so improvents that can be made in traditional cooking thods.
But they must be based on solid culinary foundations.
To say adding chicken stock and flavoring is innovation; if you add so thick soup treasure, isn’t that pure Hextech?
"It was my oversight; I didn’t expect there to be so many issues."
While busy, Qi Zhentao realized that the assistants and apprentices in the Soup Departnt didn’t even know the basic knowledge about stock, which is clearly the head chef’s responsibility.
A leader should explain so key culinary points and skills to the staff during their work so that everyone has room to improve and progress.
It seems this junior brother of mine is worried about teaching his apprentices too well, so he ran riot in the Soup Departnt.
It was truly careless.
Thinking that I could share a little pressure.
In the end, it nearly tarnished the reputation.
Once the affairs in the Soup Departnt were sorted out, Lin Xu instructed everyone to keep an eye on the pot and take the opportunity to practice knife skills or research dish pairings.
Though they’re in the Soup Departnt, learning from other departnts is also possible.
One can’t just stay here making stock all the ti.
We’re not so nation like Japan; even if you make stock all your life, you wouldn’t be titled a stock immortal.
Leaving the Soup Departnt, the chefs outside had complex looks when they gazed at Lin Xu.
Originally, they thought Ye always invited a web celebrity to grab so attention, and they sowhat looked down upon the fa of Lin Ji and Lin Xu.
Because the chefs at Yanjing Hotel always felt like imperial chefs, feeling superior in a sense.
They didn’t even regard Fishing Platform with much esteem.
But now, after watching Lin Xu make abalone sauce, they finally understood that their fa isn’t a re fluke.
And within half an hour in the kitchen, he’d fired an assistant and removed a head chef.
The personnel departnt cooperated completely, clearly signaling that he ca carrying the Emperor’s order; if you’re not well-behaved, you’d face the axe.
Though everyone resented having another director over their heads, seeing even the executive chef’s nephew getting fired, they beca much more obedient.
Leaving Yanjing Hotel, they knew they couldn’t find another place with such relaxed yet well-compensated positions.
As Lin Xu, accompanied by Qi Zhentao, headed to the Pastry Departnt, in the distant stir-fry area, a group of chefs murmured among themselves.
"If it doesn’t work, let’s resign collectively; I don’t believe it can’t handle a director."
"Exactly, let’s collectively resign and see how they handle this ss."
"I advise against it. When they ca before, didn’t the director of the Dining Departnt from the Fishing Platform also co? I guarantee that if we collectively resign now, Fishing Platform will send a group of chefs over in no ti."
It would be quite challenging for other places to send a group of national banquet chefs to support Yanjing Hotel.
But what is Fishing Platform? It’s a place so idle that they have internal sparring each year; their talent pool is astonishing.
Not ntioning that each of the eighteen executive chefs is a master, even chef like Cheng Jianshe could easily beco the executive chef of a five-star hotel.
Liao Jinming ca over today, not only to back up Lin Xu but to check the condition of the back kitchen here.
If it doesn’t work, they might clean it out entirely and have an executive chef from Fishing Platform take over.
On the surface, the two places seed to have connections in Beijing, but on a larger scale, they were both nationally recognized restaurants under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, akin to blood brothers.
In tis of trouble, one side naturally can’t stand by and do nothing.
When Gou Junguo was clamoring for revenge on Fishing Platform earlier, Ye Lixin drew the line, worried that the conflict would go too far and sour the harmony between brothers.
But what he didn’t anticipate was that the way his front desk manager sought revenge was so novel.
Xie Baomin’s sharp and precise critiques earned him the title of King of Kings among netizens, whereas Gou Junguo was... the King of Flattery.
But this collaboration indeed owes much to Gou Junguo’s flattering form of revenge.
If that guy really had gone to Lin Ji being overly picky, it would likely have utterly severed any cooperation chances.
"Welco Director Lin’s presence in Yanjing Hotel’s Pastry Departnt!"
Just walking into the Pastry Departnt, Lin Xu saw a banner hanging inside.
Unlike other departnts, these pastry chefs regarded Lin Xu as a die-hard fan would to their idol.
"I really didn’t expect Boss Lin to beco our director!"
"I was so excited last night that I couldn’t sleep. If anyone mocks a pastry chef again, we’ll just ntion Boss Lin."
"Absolutely, I watch every episode of Boss Lin’s videos, and because of his recomndations, I followed accounts like the Boss’ wife, Yue Liyue, and Wu Kexin."
"Every ti I have a break, I go to Lin Ji for a bowl of noodles, being a pure Lin Ji fanboy."
"..."
While everyone was exuberantly chatting, Qi Zhentao, standing aside, sighed helplessly.
He really shouldn’t have co along.
Lin Xu hadn’t anticipated such enthusiasm from the Pastry Departnt.
He smiled and took group photos with everyone, then said:
"I really didn’t expect everyone’s deep affection; it makes both flattered and apprehensive."
