As an experienced chef, it’s clear how much main and supplentary ingredients a dish requires, how much at can be used without even calculating.
But these ingredients, these materials, differ a lot from usual.
If only I had co to take a look earlier, these false figures would have been exposed long ago. But I trusted my godson, considering him one of us, soone who could help bear the burden.
However, while you treat him as one of your own, he is hell-bent on betraying you.
"Wang Chao, oh Wang Chao, you’ve done in!"
Qi Zhentao was so angry that his lips were trembling, completely giving up on the godson in front of him:
"Are you police? If you are, take him away!"
Hearing this, Wang Chao panicked:
"It... it was Chef ng who asked to do it, saying that if I took you down, I’d be promoted to chef."
Oh, have they exposed the mastermind behind this?
Ren Jie also laughed in his heart.
Goodness, it hasn’t even begun, and they’ve already implicated an accomplice.
During the formal interrogation, we’ll definitely use him as a breakthrough point.
Things beca simpler: Two intern officers from the Criminal Investigation Team ca and took Wang Chao and ng Kaifang away.
Additionally, under Wang Chao’s confession and old Huang’s accusation, they also took away the head chef of the Stead Dishes Departnt and two lead chefs.
One was Qi Zhentao’s godson, and the other two were Qi Zhentao’s junior disciples.
Except for his own child, they were all traitors.
Qi Zhentao’s judgnt has truly missed the mark.
Moreover, as the overall responsible head of the kitchen, Qi Zhentao was also taken for questioning.
Originally, Lin Xu, the informant, was supposed to go too, but now, with no one in charge in the kitchen, he had to stay behind and temporarily assu the duties of the executive chef.
By the ti Ye Lixin finished organizing the docunts and ca downstairs, he was utterly bewildered upon hearing the news.
I was just organizing a docunt, and so much has happened?
"Boss Lin, is my dad okay?"
As soon as he returned to the kitchen, Qi Siming hurried over anxiously. Earlier, when carrying the lamb leg, he couldn’t have imagined what would happen to Wang Chao, the warehouse manager.
How quickly this all happened.
Quite a few people were taken away.
Lin Xu briefly explained the situation:
"The problems shouldn’t be too severe, maybe just inappropriate personnel arrangents. In the future, your father should focus on technique. He lacks so much in managent, you could say it’s full of pitfalls."
Back then, his ntor, who was also ng Kaifang’s father, probably handed over the head chef position to Qi Zhentao with the intention of having his son inherit it one day.
How is it that a head chef position beca hereditary?
Is he considering himself so form of spiritual leader?
After the initial turmoil in the kitchen, everyone gradually cald down.
However, when looking at Lin Xu, their expressions were even more apprehensive.
Yesterday, one was fired, another resigned.
Originally, everyone thought today would settle down, but suddenly several people were sent to the station, not just the local police, but to the Criminal Investigation Team.
What kind of earthly King Yan is this?
Now, not only are the kitchen staff afraid, but even Gou Junguo is feeling fortunate.
Good thing I praised the establishnt during my visit. If I had been overly critical, who knows, I might have encountered the sa situation today.
People from the Criminal Investigation Team.
Chatting and laughing with Lin Xu.
Such an impressive background; no wonder he can swagger through the Fishing Platform.
No, I need to visit Lin Xu’s Ziqiang Shengjian again.
If I don’t give a couple of complints, I won’t feel at ease.
In the kitchen, once everyone settled down, Lin Xu went outside and happened upon Ye Lixin.
He said:
"Regardless of whether Chef Qi has issues, he’s no longer suitable for managent. Let him be a technical chef, and better to have soone else as executive chef."
Ye Lixin resignedly replied:
"I’m also worried about this matter. Director Lin, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Candidate?
I’m just a director, am I also responsible for recruiting?
After pondering a bit, he said:
"I’ll ask around, let’s discuss this when we et for lunch."
"Sure, sure, I need to apologize to the superior leaders. The Criminal Investigation Team just called and said the amount involved exceeds eight hundred thousand. They’ve been doing this long before I was transferred. Now I have to clean up after my predecessor—such bad luck."
After Ye Lixin left, Lin Xu shared the matter in the Fishing Platform group chat:
"Now the Chinese Ceremony Hall at the Yanjing Hotel needs an executive chef. If any of you have candidates, please recomnd them. If Director Liao agrees, you can also co."
Since he asked to recomnd, it’s certainly to recomnd one of our own.
This way, coming to the Yanjing Hotel in the future will feel like coming ho.
As soon as the ssage was posted, Director Liao chid in:
"Chefs from each building can give it a try, but for head chefs, whoever goes, I’ll break their legs!"
Xie Baomin said:
"How about letting old Cheng go? He’s been at Building Two for quite a while. He excels in Huaiyang, Sichuan, and Shandong cuisine, and his managent is impeccable."
Everyone agreed that old Cheng was a good choice.
Solid in culinary skills and impeccable in managent.
The reason Xie Baomin can slack off so much is largely because of old Cheng’s rit.
Besides Cheng JianShe, other head chefs from other buildings could also give it a try.
They all have sufficient strength and have had nurous opportunities to take charge, managing the kitchen at Yanjing Hotel would pose no problem.
Most importantly, the director of the Yanjing Hotel Dining Departnt is Lin Xu.
Having one’s own people around makes managing tasks a lot easier and smoother.
Soon enough, Xie Baomin said in the group:
"I’ve spoken with old Cheng; he’ll go for an interview in the afternoon. Other buildings should also send a few people. Our brother hotel is in trouble; we can’t hide talents. Send a few more people so Manager Ye has good choices."
Lin Xu said:
"Coming at noon is also fine. Just right, we’ve made Braised Goose Feet today, co and try it together."
Upon seeing this ssage, Dai Jianli, who had been silently observing, chid in:
"From Fishing Platform to Yanjing Hotel is quite a distance. I’m worried if old Cheng goes alone. How about I take him there myself, save the trouble of taking a taxi."
Song Dahai sent a disdainful emoji:
"Is that really giving soone a lift? I’m too embarrassed to say it aloud."
Building One head chef He Baoqing said:
"It’s fine if a chef goes; let’s not let people look down on us. How about I go too, to prevent old Dai from running his mouth and offending people again."
Building Eleven head chef Fan Ming sent a respectful emoji:
"I just love how the boss goes to enjoy food and drink while maintaining such a gentle elder deanor."
At noon, Qi Zhentao returned from the police station, tidied up his personal belongings here, and went ho. He thought he might need a few days to calm down.
The person he trusted the most created such a huge ss.
Anyone would need to reflect deeply on this.
Around eleven o’clock, Cheng JianShe and Dai Jianli walked into the kitchen at Yanjing Hotel.
Lin Xu had just taken down the goose feet that had been stewing for over three hours, and took the opportunity to scoop them into a bowl with a slotted spoon.
The goose feet were thoroughly stewed.
But to make them delicious, they still needed to add braised sauce.
With the braised sauce, it achieves the 1 1 > 2 effect.
Old Dai took a look and gave a thumbs up to Lin Xu:
"Nice work, are you going to finish with the final step of adding the braised sauce?"
Lin Xu nodded.
Dai Jianli imdiately clapped Cheng JianShe on the shoulder:
"Your turn now, old Cheng. Show everyone the skills of a chef from Building Two at Fishing Platform."
Cheng JianShe felt slightly tense but knew this chance was valuable, so he rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Okay, then I won’t hold back... but the freshly braised goose feet can’t have the sauce added imdiately. We need to let them cool thoroughly first for better taste."
Dai Jianli’s eyes lit up:
"Whoa, has old Xie secretly developed a new technique?"
