After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, Fu Yu stayed behind to pay the bill.
The al cost almost four hundred bucks.
If it were before, he’d be heartbroken.
But now, it just stings a little.
Sure enough, with a slightly fuller wallet, it feels different.
By the ti he finished settling the bill and ca out, only Zhao ng was left outside.
"Those little brats, each runs faster than the other, do they think I’ll eat them?"
Fu Yu chuckled, "That just shows you’ve got authority! They’re not scared of you, they respect you."
Zhao ng laughed heartily, "Alright, stop with the flattery, or I’ll start floating without even drinking too much!"
The two walked back together.
Zhao ng asked, "How much did we spend tonight?"
Fu Yu reported honestly, "388, the boss gave us a discount."
Zhao ng nodded, "Not bad, not expensive."
Fu Yu felt the sa, not only because of the discount, but because he also stumbled into a new task with a decent prize.
Zhao ng told Fu Yu, "I talked to Chef Yao, starting tomorrow, you’ll officially be teaming up with to take orders. Originally, it was 8 bucks per table, getting 6, you 2, right? Now we’ll split it evenly, 4 each..."
Fu Yu quickly said, "No need, Chef Zhao, the standard is that a newly confird employee, even if they can officially take orders, should only get 2 bucks commission."
Zhao ng waved his hand, "What’s the rule for? That’s just for newbies starting to cook and can’t take orders, you’re different. I see you can handle orders just fine now, and even if not, I’m here to back you up!"
Fu Yu felt touched, just about to speak when Zhao ng said, "But don’t go broadcasting this, just keep it to yourself. If soone asks about your salary, be smart, don’t let it slip."
"I see Lao Gu is mostly letting Yao Yihang handle everything now, with the other juniors taking turns to practice by his side. It’s just starting, so no one’s noticed yet, but give it ti, it’ll surely stir up so drama."
"Now that the kitchen has split up after the reorganization, Lao Gu and I manage our own sides. Whatever happens with his side, we don’t ddle, we just keep our side in check."
Fu Yu heard this and realized that Gu Yunwu was about to stir up so trouble again.
It’s inevitable that chefs participate in commission after confirming their positions.
But to earn commissions, they have to take part in order taking.
Gu Yunwu took advantage of this opportunity to dump all his tasks on Yao Yihang.
Anyway, the boss asked for juniors to take turns cooking.
Using the excuse of guiding the juniors, he didn’t touch small orders, only stepping in for the big ones when it got too busy.
He acted as a hands-off manager, yet took the lion’s share of the commissions.
This was really rotten behavior!
Gu Yunwu truly was a petty man.
Just to do less work and earn more money, he ca up with such a plan.
Impressive!
Fu Yu was speechless, "With him doing this, can Yao Yihang manage?"
Zhao ng pulled out a cigarette, mumbled, "What can he do but endure? It took him long enough to get confird. But Lao Gu’s sche won’t last long, Chef Yao will probably have to step in and diate sooner or later."
Fu Yu said sincerely, "Good thing you had the foresight to choose back then. If I were with Chef Gu, it would be suffocating."
Zhao ng mock-scolded, "You cheeky guy, don’t act innocent after gaining a benefit! When you go to the music restaurant later, rember to do a good job. Chef Yao really is good to you."
Fu Yu nodded, "Don’t worry, I know."
Zhao ng smiled.
Aside from everything else, Fu Yu’s talent and ability indeed impressed people.
Whether in Qianlima or the music restaurant, he was sure to do well.
Zhao ng was both satisfied and proud to have such a trusted apprentice.
After drinking so beer at night, lying on the bamboo mat, the hot sumr night didn’t seem so unbearable.
Slept wonderfully through the night.
The next morning, Fu Yu clocked in at the front hall right on ti.
[Checked in! Thanks!!]
[Ding! Daily Task: Complete ten dishes that satisfy custors. Task reward: RMB 20, Task experience 10]
Ah!
The reward is pretty average!
Realizing his thoughts, Fu Yu was first stunned, then he mocked himself: Inflated, eh! How arrogant! In the past, just picking up a dollar from the ground was enough to make happy for half a day, now seeing 20 bucks feels like nothing.
This won’t do!
He strolled over to the back kitchen.
The morning shift staff had already prepared the al in advance.
Everyone gathered together and had a lively breakfast.
Today’s custors were still coming in an endless stream.
Jiang Mo ca over with the order slips and gossiped with Fu Yu, "Chef Fu, did you see last night’s trending topic?"
Fu Yu asked casually, "What trending topic?"
Jiang Mo said, "The one where experts debunked the claims about food incompatibility, saying that discussing toxicity without asuring is just alarmist."
Fu Yu was a bit surprised, "How did that suddenly beco a trending topic?"
Jiang Mo laughed, "Probably because it’s been popular in social circles lately, with people spreading and forwarding it everywhere, which isn’t good. The trending news even listed so so-called doctors and health influencer examples, debunking them one by one. One of them is that group of influencers who ca to our restaurant. Although they pixelated the faces, you can tell it’s our restaurant’s private room in the background."
"The news said that the experts did experints with related foods, and the results showed everything was normal for both humans and animals!"
Fu Yu smiled, "That’s good, at least people now know that the claim of food incompatibility isn’t valid."
At this mont, Zhao ng took a look at the order slips and laughed, "Hey, I noticed since that group of influencers visited, these four dishes have beco almost like the most popular dishes in our restaurant."
Fu Yu couldn’t agree more with Chef Zhao.
Now, many custors co specifically to check in and order these four dishes after watching the videos.
At this ti, Sun Qingning was diligently using his spare ti to clean Fu Yu’s cooking station, and he laughed when he heard Zhao ng’s words, "The influencer effect is so strong nowadays, we really shouldn’t underestimate it."
Fu Yu turned to look at Sun Qingning.
Ever since they talked yesterday, Sun Qingning seed rejuvenated.
Fu Yu was pleased to see this.
Now that Fu Yu was officially teaming up with Zhao ng to split commissions equally, Zhao ng still divided the work as usual, giving Fu Yu two out of five dishes, unless they were too busy, then whoever worked faster would take on more.
After working together for nearly a year, even with changed roles, their work was still effortless.
The server brought over a few more order slips.
Zhao ng had two exclusive tables with designated custors and also took on a large order.
With more work, Fu Yu’s quick actions and ability to follow instructions were imdiately evident.
Zhao ng didn’t need to explain much, just one word from him, and Fu Yu would execute without question.
Much simpler and easier compared to partnering with Gu Yunwu before.
Fu Yu focused on his cooking, handling one table after another, working non-stop for over two hours until all the order slips on the wall were removed.
