Food customizer.

Speaking of being annoyed, Li Mingtao is really annoyed right now.

Just after I came back from dinner with Zhou Kai, several young people and a few old employees in the office came immediately, saying that they had to hold a banquet in the evening to welcome the new director.

They also said that this is an old company tradition.

Whenever a new employee comes, the department will have a meeting.

Li Mingtao is not disgusted with this kind of thing, but the problem is that Zhang Yali enrolled her child in a bilingual class a few days ago. She said that three years old is the best stage for children to learn languages!

Two months of bilingual classes cost more than yuan in tuition. In addition, this summer is really hot. Li Mingtao specially installed air conditioners in his parents and mother-in-law's house in an old community.

Over and over again, the salary Su Chen just paid him a few days ago has long been used up.

This is definitely not possible if we go back to the city to eat. Ten people in an ordinary restaurant will be a thousand dollars less, and even if you add drinks, it will be too much.

Li Mingtao was really desperate, so he decided to send text messages to He Shuting.

"Boss Su, I'm really sorry this time."

"I think I'll finish the twelve hundred yuan in this meal. That's fine. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other! I feel secure working in the new company!"

Li Mingtao was still comforting himself.

Even so, I still felt a little guilty towards Su Chen.

On the one hand, he felt guilty about the old company, and on the other hand, there was still a lot of mess to solve in the new company. Li Mingtao felt like his head was going to explode.

"So, Director Li went out to discuss another big deal this afternoon?" Su Chen looked at the information on He Shuting's phone and began to feel a little unsure.

Could it be that I really misunderstood Li Mingtao?

"That's for sure!" Bai Xiaobo tore open all the packages of pickled fish on the floor. In the morning, he had basically memorized Su Chen's method and was about to start massaging the black fish fillets.

Hmm. I kind of like that touch.

"Director Li is still capable! We have negotiated two business deals in just one day. I will never speak ill of him behind his back again." Liu Shengnan said while handling the sauerkraut.

At present, everyone's thinking has not changed yet, and everyone talks about company business and other words.

Su Chen was rather depressed. If there was no business, wouldn't this be like turning the company into a restaurant?

He became a chef, and the former employees began to play roles such as waiters.

But why, it seems that the employees are more concerned about it than me, and they all enjoy it?

"Brother Chen, how much pepper should be added to these fish fillets?" Bai Xiaobo poured twenty packs of fish fillets into a huge basin at one time.

"No, just let me go. This amount is too big to control. Divide the fish fillets into five parts first."

It is difficult to cook twenty pounds of pickled fish at one time, and there is not such a big pot.

"Boss, what about this? I've washed these elbows. I don't think we can use so many, right?" Aunt Fang asked, squatting on the ground with plastic gloves on.

"Yesterday, I made more than steamed buns with only five elbows, which is about the same. We have to eat the few elbows left as breakfast tomorrow."

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen! Do you think it's okay for me to tear this eggplant apart?"

Xiaobin also joined the kitchen at some point.

"Are you a sports student?" Su Chen was a little shocked when he saw Xiaobin violently tearing so many eggplants into pieces.

"No, she just thinks Eggplant is our class teacher."

Who are these people?

"The tearing is okay, but please don't mess around. Stew the elbow first, then the pickled fish, and stew the eggplant and potatoes last."

Su Chen didn't realize at all that under the leadership of the employees, he began to blend in, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and joined everyone directly.

Although I only cook three dishes.

The staple food is steamed buns, the dish is pickled fish, and the side dish is eggplant stewed with potatoes.

But I can't bear the large amount.

Under Su Chen's command, the ten elbows were divided into two stainless steel buckets and started to be stewed over medium heat. Aunt Fang was responsible for watching the heat, turning off the heat every twenty minutes and soaking for ten minutes before turning on the heat.

Twenty pounds of black fish fillets were divided into five portions and started to be marinated. Bai Xiaobo took great pleasure in massaging them.

A few other employees were squatting on the floor, peeling potatoes.

"Emma, ​​this class is so exciting."

"Who says it's not the case? If you ask me to make materials, I don't want to move for a day. If you ask me to peel potatoes, I can peel a hundred!"

"You can cut a potato into half, how dare you say that?"

"It would be great if I could do this every day at work, learn how to cook, and eat delicious food, and the whole day would be over~"

Su Chen's head was filled with black threads as he listened to everyone's idle chatter.

You wouldn't be happy if you were asked to work as a waiter in a restaurant, but would you be happy if you were asked to come to work in a company and do some waiter's work on the side?

But it seems to be true

When I was in school, if I needed to move something or something, as long as I didn't have to go to class, the boys in the class would be very active.

If you really have to move every day, no one will be happy.

As everyone was busy, the stewed elbow began to gradually exude the alluring aroma of meat.

Su Chen also started to stir-fry sauerkraut and make soup stock.

Without the help of fish bones, I could only continue to use fried eggs to make soup stock. I repeated this five or six times before I could make a large vat of milky white soup stock.

Su Chen suddenly thought of something.

"Aunt Fang, when the elbows are cooked, soak these fried eggs in it. It would be a waste to throw away so many eggs."

"I just wanted to say it was too wasteful, just leave it to me!"

Su Chen kept stir-frying the sauerkraut, preparing the soup base, and then asked others to make noodles together. The kitchen was very busy for a while.

Until about five o'clock in the afternoon, the elbow was considered to be up to Su Chen's standards.

Then, follow the previous method to remove the bones from the elbow, chop it into pieces and stir-fry the meat filling.

Bai Xiaobo snatched away all the elbow bones that Su Chen had taken off, and gnawed the bones alone in the restaurant.

"Hey, those bones are clean and hairless. I don't know what there is to chew on."

Bai Xiaobo gnawed until his mouth was full of oil, "You know what? When you chew bones, the more you can't get, the more delicious the meat will be! It's like looking for a partner, the less you can get, the better!"

He Shuting sneered at this statement, "Are you cheap? Stop chewing it and make the buns quickly."

"I don't know how to wrap it up." Bai Xiaobo was stunned.

In his opinion, making buns and dumplings is something only a master in the kitchen can do, and it is simply a hellish level of difficulty.

"What a shame!"

What He Shuting didn't say was that she actually didn't know how to wrap it.

Su Chen and Aunt Fang became the main force in making buns. Others were persuaded to quit after trying several times.

When you are busy, time always flies by.

Before half past five, Su Chen and Aunt Fang had made two cages of steamed buns. Considering that there were quite a lot of people coming, and they weren't just eating steamed buns, they made fewer buns this time.

After Su Chen stewed the eggplant and potatoes, and divided the pickled fish into five pots and cooked them separately, it was considered done.

For a while, everyone was idle.

Liu Shengnan sat in the restaurant and picked his fingers, "I'm a little nervous."

Bai Xiaobo kept unlocking his phone and then locking the screen again, "I don't know why, but I feel a little bit too."

The others didn't speak, but it could be seen that everyone was feeling a little uneasy.

Su Chen clapped his hands, "Then Shengnan, you are responsible for settling today's accounts, whether it's Director Li's head or whatever."

nervous?

I'm nervous because I don't know what to do!

"Bai Xiaobo, you and Xiaobin collect the garbage in the kitchen and throw away what should be thrown away."

"okay!"

Su Chen continued to assign work, "He Shuting, the live broadcast is not started yet. You can sit in the restaurant later and keep an eye on them. Don't lose anything."

"understand!"

"Everyone else, help Aunt Fang clean up the kitchen now. Those who want to go home later will go home first. Those who don't want to go home will stay to eat. Find Shengnan to write down the overtime order."

After a meal of work arrangements, everyone returned to their previous state.

"Director Li, do you have any taboos? I'm making a restaurant reservation now."

There was still half an hour before get off work, and Zhou Kai came to the office.

Li Mingtao pretended to put down the pen in his hand, "Director Zhou, what do you think of the pickled fish for lunch today?"

When he mentioned pickled fish, Zhou Kai's eyes lit up.

"It's delicious! I even posted it on WeChat Moments. If I didn't have enough time at noon, I could still have one! The taste is more than a little better than those restaurants outside!"

Li Mingtao nodded, "Well, that's right. I think there are mostly young people in our department. Nowadays, the post-s generation doesn't like the banquet culture. Booking a restaurant is too formal, which is not conducive for me to mingle with everyone. My suggestion is to go Just have a dinner in the cafeteria of my friend’s company.”

Zhou Kai hissed, "The food there is delicious, but it's too much to go to someone else's company's canteen."

Have a dinner party in your own department, but end up going to someone else’s company’s cafeteria?

Not to mention whether the other party agrees or not, does this feel too disrespectful to Director Li, the newly appointed leader?

Li Mingtao waved his hand, "Let's just decide. Boss Su has a good relationship with me. This little thing is not a big deal."

In this case, Zhou Kai had nothing to say.

Just as he was about to turn around to send the notice, Li Mingtao said again, "Also, let me tell you that eating is eating, and no one is allowed to talk about work. After we leave the company, I will be friends with everyone. .”

"it is good."

Zhou Kai was confused and walked away muttering.

Director Li is also easy to get along with, right?

There is no leadership arrogance. In order to blend in with the employees in his department, he also deliberately chose a place like the canteen to let everyone eat in peace.

In order to arrange this comfortable dinner, he must owe the boss of that company another favor, right?

But when he thought that he would be able to eat the pickled fish from that company in a while, Zhou Kai lost all his messy thoughts, and even his stomach couldn't help but growl.
