Fu Yu was concentrating on cooking ginger and scallion stir-fried crab.
As Yao Shi had said, this dish seed simple, but in reality, it had many tricks to it.
Like separating the crabs!
Fu Yu chuckled evilly to himself.
It turned out this dish also counted as crab separation.
How was the task evaluated?
Who cares!
Anyway, every ti he separated a crab, the task progress notification would sound.
It’s a rare opportunity, just keep going and finish the 100 tis requirent of the task first.
"Xiaofu, put aside what you’re doing, you need to head back to Qianlima imdiately."
Fu Yu: "?!"
Coming again??
Yao Shi looked serious.
Gao Wenjing said that the custor specifically asking for Fu Yu to order was a high-level VIP of the restaurant.
To be classified as a high-level VIP at Qianlima, one has to spend at least over ten thousand yuan and dine at the restaurant more than twenty tis within a year.
Such custors always enjoy the highest level of service at the restaurant.
Yao Shi had brought Fu Yu over today to help, which was a private matter.
Although the boss of Qianlima had always been very generous about it, if it affected the business of the restaurant, it wouldn’t be easy to explain afterward.
Yao Shi couldn’t delay and urged Fu Yu, "I really can’t leave here, you better take a taxi back yourself."
Fu Yu didn’t even have ti to ask in detail before being hurriedly sent off by Yao Shi to take a taxi back to Qianlima.
In the taxi, Fu Yu called Zhao ng.
"Chef Zhao, what’s going on?"
Zhao ng was busy as he casually responded, "Where are you? Hurry up, we’re all waiting for you!"
Fu Yu wanted to ask more, but Zhao ng quickly instructed, "Co to the back kitchen to find when you get back!"
After saying that, Zhao ng hung up the phone directly.
It was just arriving at peak dining ti, and the server brought over a pile of orders.
Zhao ng was busy with his hands, but internally he was a bit anxious.
That custor seed to co aggressively, Gao Wenjing, soone as shrewd as her, couldn’t even handle it, not knowing how Fu Yu ended up attracting such a person.
Fu Yu hurried back to the restaurant, jogging over to the back kitchen.
Just as he called out Chef Zhao, he was pulled aside by Zhao ng, who asked carefully, "Did you et that person when you ca over just now?"
Fu Yu was stunned: "Who? No, what exactly happened?"
Zhao ng looked a bit worried, "A rich lady, nad and specified to find you to order, doesn’t seem like soone easy to deal with!"
Having said that, Zhao ng glanced at Fu Yu.
The young man indeed looked spirited, handso, tall, and well-built. While wearing a chef’s uniform, he wasn’t very noticeable, but now changed into casual wear, his temperant instantly improved.
Zhao ng asked seriously, "There’s no issue with your personal life, right?"
Fu Yu shook his head.
Zhao ng was still uneasy and asked again, "Think again, have you offended any custor at the restaurant, or soone you might have t while off duty?"
Fu Yu thought carefully; his personal life couldn’t be simpler.
At work, he was in the back kitchen; after work, he went to the supermarket, now adding one more activity, cleaning Zhao ng’s house.
Who could he offend?
Fu Yu confidently shook his head, "No."
Getting a definite answer, Zhao ng felt a sense of relief.
From what he knew of Fu Yu, he indeed wasn’t soone who stirred up trouble.
But Zhao ng was still a bit uneasy, turning to call out to Gu Yunwu, "Chef Gu, help take over the orders, I’m going to the front hall."
Gu Yunwu was extrely busy but responded shortly, passing on the task to Yao Yihang.
Fu Yu followed Zhao ng to the front hall.
Gao Wenjing, an experienced supervisor, surely wouldn’t allow a custor to cause a scene in the front hall.
She politely guided the custor to the VIP lounge and sent the steady and reliable food runner, Dai Li, to keep an eye on it.
As a result, when Fu Yu returned, he entered through the back door looking for Zhao ng.
Dai Li found no sign of him, seeing him now coming from the direction of the back kitchen, hurried to et him and led him to the VIP lounge.
In the VIP lounge, Gao Wenjing was endlessly flattering the custor with good tea and sweet talk.
But the custor wasn’t in the mood to pay her much attention.
If she spoke, it was to urge and ask when Chef Fu would be able to co over.
Gao Wenjing could only choose pleasant words, "Chef Fu went to a different restaurant with our head chef to provide support, he won’t be back imdiately, perhaps you could co next ti? Or maybe you can try Chef Gu’s skills, Chef Gu is one of our restaurant’s top chefs..."
The custor imdiately frowned, "I’m looking for Chef Fu..."
Gao Wenjing was ntally exhausted, thinking the custor was being unreasonable, likely interested in Fu Yu’s handso face, using the guise of ordering to seek soone, while simultaneously anxious for Fu Yu’s return.
With so much happening in the front hall, as the supervisor, she was stuck here unable to leave.
As the two parties were at an impasse, Fu Yu followed Zhao ng into the lounge.
Seeing Fu Yu enter the room, the middle-aged lady instantly lit up, quickly stood up from her chair, and warmly greeted, "Oh, Chef Fu, you’re finally back!"
Fu Yu recognized the person and was stunned.
It was the custor who previously ordered the lobster with butter sauce.
The middle-aged lady was dressed with jewels and finery, her previously stern face now blossoming into a radiant smile.
She extended her hand to Fu Yu, acting as if they were close acquaintances.
Fu Yu, still baffled, shook her hand.
Standing beside them, Gao Wenjing watched the middle-aged lady and Fu Yu shake hands with a knowing look in her eyes.
As expected!!
She knew it!!
As her spirit of gossip burned brightly, Gao Wenjing finally felt relieved at last.
Fortunately, as long as she wasn’t here to cause trouble or smash the place, everything else could be negotiated...
After shaking hands with the middle-aged lady, Fu Yu asked, "I heard you wanted to order sothing from ?"
The middle-aged lady quickly said, "Chef Fu, here’s the thing, I have a friend who wants to et her future in-laws for a al, but her in-laws have mobility issues and can’t travel far, so they want to host the al at ho. She urgently needs a chef with great skills to co over, and I recomnded you to her."
Fu Yu was sowhat surprised, but still said truthfully, "I’m sorry, I still need to work, so I probably don’t have the ti to go."
The middle-aged lady quickly said, "You don’t need to worry about that, I can follow the proper procedures and hire you for house service."
Following procedures, it’s not impossible!
Qianlima has always had this policy.
But usually, the ones being hired for house service are head chefs like Chef Yao, or at least soone like Zhao ng or Gu Yunwu, at an executive chef level.
Fu Yu was a bit hesitant.
He wasn’t even a full-ti chef yet.
Just a junior kitchen worker.
The boss might not approve?
After a brief hesitation, Fu Yu decisively refused, "Sorry, I’m not experienced enough in my job yet to offer external house service."
The middle-aged lady was taken aback.
Isn’t house service usually sothing chefs are eager to do?
After all, custors who can afford house service for a chef likely don’t hurt for money, and the service fee is usually quite generous.
However, the middle-aged lady knew she had to bring Fu Yu back today, as she had already spoken highly of him.
So she patiently said, "You don’t need to worry about this, I can speak with your boss. You might not know, but my husband is an old friend of your boss."
Fu Yu: "...Oh!"
The middle-aged lady also added, "Moreover, my friend is quite generous, offering a service fee of five thousand yuan."
Fu Yu: "...Wow!"
Goodness!
A service fee of 5000 yuan!!
Cooking one al for the equivalent of two months’ salary!
Gao Wenjing suddenly said, "Chef Fu, if you can, you should agree. This custor is genuinely inviting you over, it’s also a sign of trust in you."
Fu Yu: "..."
Zhao ng then also said, "Fu Yu, take the job, I’ll go with you to assist. Anyways, it’s the morning shift today, and there’s nothing much going on in the evening."
With Zhao ng approving and even volunteering to go and assist, Fu Yu imdiately felt reassured,
Fu Yu nodded, "Alright, do you know what day your friend’s gathering is scheduled for?"
The middle-aged lady bead with joy and quickly replied, "It’s tonight, I’ve parked my car outside, if you’re available, we can head over anyti."
Behind them, Zhao ng and Gao Wenjing exchanged a glance.
Zhao ng: Five thousand yuan service fee! Damn! Two thousand more than !!
Gao Wenjing: Be content, even with your tricks, painting yourself green wouldn’t work!! Do you really think they ca for the culinary skills? They’re clearly here for the looks!
