City People [Rebirth]

Chapter 143 Chapter 143

The new chef, Ai Wen, is an Italian, which was recommended by Gao Zexin.When he was studying abroad in Italy, he loved to eat the pizza made by Aiwen.At that time, Ai Wen opened a small pizza shop, and besides him as the owner and chef, he only hired one waiter.Ai Wen is very self-willed in opening a shop, and often closes the shop under the pretext of going out to collect materials, making a crowd of customers who like his craftsmanship stand at the door and lament.

Once Gao Zexin took a bottle of fermented bean curd delivered from China to eat pizza at Ai Wen’s store. When he dug out a piece of fermented bean curd from the bottle and planned to crush the fermented bean curd and spread it on the pizza, Ai Wen rushed over and put Gao Zexin was taken aback, thinking that Aiwen was displeased with the ingredients he brought with him, but Aiwen picked up the bottle of fermented bean curd, sniffed it intoxicated, and said, "This smells so delicious!"

Because of a bottle of fermented bean curd, Ai Wen and Gao Zexin became friends.

Many Chinese people are not used to eating foreign food, but they are really not used to it, it is really unbearable to eat it all at once.At that time, Gao Zexin was afraid that Lu Jia would not dare to return to China. Apart from cooking Chinese food on his own, he relied on various bottles and cans that Gao’s mother handed over from China, such as old godmother, fermented bean curd, mushroom sauce, etc. Bibimbap and noodle sauce, together with the monotonous bread, is so blissful!

And since Gao Zexin and Ai Wen became friends, Gao Zexin asked Gao’s mother to send double portions of food, and Ai Wen would make pizza for Gao Zexin that was not for sale, and sometimes he would enthusiastically invite Gao Zexin to eat when he made new products.

Although Gao Zexin already has a boyfriend now, Lu Jia has a strong trace in his youth and adulthood, and he did not deliberately alienate Lu Jia.Speaking of it, he was also the saddest when he met his current boyfriend, a colleague in the design office. His boyfriend originally wanted to persuade Gao Zexin that "there is no grass in the end of the world", but he put his own grass into it. .

Therefore, when Gao Zexin heard Lu Jia say that there was a shortage of pizza chefs, he immediately thought of Ai Wen.

Ai Wen has always thought about the development of Huaguo, for fermented bean curd and old godmother, as well as "stinky tofu that is more delicious than fermented bean curd" in Gao Zexin's mouth, but he does not have all kinds of examinations, and there are no foreigners who are hired in China. The chef has a glittering experience. He hasn't even participated in a competition. He is not well-known. Which boss would invite him?And he doesn't have enough funds, and he often studies behind closed doors to open a store. In fact, he doesn't make much money, so he can't go to Huaguo to open a store by himself. He doesn't understand the language in a foreign country, and those procedures can torture him enough.Therefore, he, who just made pizza quietly, had to give up the idea.Gao Zexin said he wanted to help him, but he also refused. He knew that Gao Zexin had no catering relationship in China.

After Gao Zexin returned to China, he would often send bottles and cans of delicious food to Ai Wen, and the friendship has not been broken.After he carefully asked Lu Jia about the treatment of Haoduo, he immediately called Ai Wen, harassed him from the bed, and explained clearly.

Evan was excited when he heard it.The time is free, you can research at will, the salary is good, you are allowed to collect materials, and most importantly, you can go to Huaguo to eat stinky tofu!

Compared with these, what is the public recipe!Aiwen is very clear that even if the recipe is made public, the assembly line chef using the machine cannot make it to his level.Chefs don't rely on recipes, but rely on their own experience and craftsmanship.

After Aiwen was notified, he first flew to China with a tourist visa for an interview.The interview was a great success, and Li Moli made a decision immediately.This is a master pizza chef!Never let go.Then Aiwen returned to China to transfer the store, apply for a work visa, and came to China again.

Because Aiwen is a foreigner and has no background in China, Li Moli first sent an assistant who can speak Italian to follow Aiwen to help him solve the problem of board and lodging, and Aiwen can't speak Chinese, so the assistant has to teach him first He said something generic.Ai Wen quickly disclosed the recipe, stared at the chefs in the lobby a few times, saw that they had learned it, and the taste passed the test, so he said that he wanted to go out to collect materials.

The assistant said: "The private kitchen I made for you is still under renovation, don't you need to take a look here?"

Ai Wen received the same treatment as Zhang An, and Ai Wen's performance exceeded Li Moli's expectations. She originally wanted to hire a skilled pizza chef, but she did not expect Ai Wen to be able to make food taste like "soul". The chef is still unknown abroad.Of course it is understandable for such a chef to have any eccentricities!

Therefore, Aiwen also has a private kitchen where he can try out new products, and this is also one of the conditions to impress Aiwen.His kitchen is inside the delicious kitchen, and a large compartment is created separately.Aiwen has already told the decoration team about his usual kitchen utensils and display locations, and he also showed them the photos of the kitchen in Illy's store.However, each chef has his or her own operating habits and utensils. If it is arranged by an outsider, it is difficult to fully meet the chef's wishes.

Li Moli explained to her assistant that she regarded Ai Wen as a hermit chef with eccentricities. Otherwise, with such a good craftsmanship, why would he not show his reputation, but instead hide in the city?

But after hearing what the assistant said, Ai Wen waved his hands and said, "It's okay, just mess around with it, I don't care."

assistant:"……"

This chef seems to be very easygoing.

"Then where do you want to go to collect materials?"

"Go eat stinky tofu!"

Ai Wen said the three words "stinky tofu" in poor Chinese, and he said these three words best in Chinese.

assistant:"……"

Well, this chef is still a foodie.

Under the assistant's arrangement, Aiwen followed the assistant to the surrounding cities to eat stinky tofu, and the preparations for the opening of the delicious food were on schedule, and he was too busy.

But Lu Jia was idle, and didn't even plan to go to the opening, but took Zhou Heyi once during the internal rehearsal in mid-June.

The drill invited the lucky users drawn from WeChat and Weibo, and most of the middle and high-level members of Jijia Catering also went.On that day, all the delicious people started to move their hands, and all the dishes were ready.Zhou Heyi's shopping mall has reserved the largest store in the restaurant floor for Haoduo, which can accommodate a large number of people. The brand logo is a piece of pizza with a cutaway, which is also a cute style.Behind the glass in the dining area is the development kitchen. The development kitchen is very clean and tidy, and the chefs who do a good job in sanitation work in the kitchen.The development kitchen and the back kitchen here are in different areas of responsibility. Fried food and other smelly and smoky products are in the back kitchen, while tasteless and silent preparations such as pizza, salad, and cold food are placed in the development kitchen.

Pizza production is the most eye-catching. The tall ten-story oven stands directly on the table. The chef will put the pizza in after making the pizza. After the baking is completed, the waiter will cut it directly and put it in the dining area.The whole production process is transparent, hygienic and reassuring.

In addition to pizza, which is the main buffet, there is another dish that is most popular among the tasters, which is roast duck.The oven for the roast duck uses a microcomputer fool-style oven customized by Pinnacle Technology. It does not require wood and has no smell of smoke. Computer control can make the taste of each roast duck exactly the same. The chef only needs to put the roast duck in, and everything is done. The operation is automatic and the procedure is simple, just wait for the "ding" of the machine oven, and then take it out and slice it on the plate.

The duck embryos have been marinated in the central kitchen. After being sent to the branch, even ordinary people can use the fool-style oven to complete a roast duck with a golden color and a mellow taste, which reduces labor costs.

In this first Haoduo pizza restaurant, except for Ai Wen who is not in charge of the meals during business hours, there are only two serious chefs, one is in the back kitchen to watch the small workers, and the other is the development chef who is in charge of pizza making The chefs, and those who take a bath to choose vegetables, do simple pickling, frying, etc. are all small workers with only a certain amount of experience.

Dare to hire such a few chefs because Lu Jia has placed many orders from Peak Technology over the years. He dared to say that Jijia's kitchen is the most modern and automated kitchen in the whole country.Ordinary people without professional learning only need to operate according to the instructions of smart kitchen appliances, and everything can be done.

Therefore, while Jijia Catering is developing rapidly, some people always say that Jijia's approach is contempt for chefs, and it is an unhealthy trend that wants to bring smart appliances to replace chefs.

Of course Lu Jia had to admit that, indeed, part of the chef's interests were lost in this way.Of course, chefs with high levels and high skills will not be affected, but will be more noticed, because when some chefs have to change careers and their jobs are replaced by ordinary people with the help of machines, senior chefs will only become rarer, because ordinary people People don't have that talent.

Now domestic high-end restaurants are not affected, and low-end restaurants do not have that condition, but more and more mid-range restaurants like Jijia Catering are doing this. Order.

Ji Jia’s achievements in the standardization of catering procedures have also been praised by people in the industry. Let’s take the well-developed hungry stomach as an example. The results of standardization directly show that the results achieved between stores are easy to replicate, and the serving time is limited as much as possible. The possible shortening, customers will be served within 10 minutes after sitting down, and the waiting time for meals will be shortened, and the meal time will be shortened, so the turnover rate will increase again, and the reception rate of each table will be utilized to the extreme.

Whether it is the standardized operation of the back kitchen or the standardized operation of the service, it is inseparable from modern information technology and highly paid management experts, as well as the pretreatment of food by the central kitchen, and the processing of semi-finished ingredients improves the efficiency.Under the combination of these factors, Jijia's brand operation is very efficient. At the same time, it has another advantage, that is, it is not afraid of poaching - which is also linked to the smart kitchen.

In the past, when the chef was the soul of a restaurant, what the boss feared most was that the chef would be poached away. It would take time to find a new chef.Let’s not talk about chefs who have reached the level. Real chefs are always offered. Once you get used to it, it’s easy to take Joe, slack off, and even dictate the management of the store. If there are two chefs in the store, it’s okay , it is inevitable to form cliques, and people always have to live for their own interests.

Moreover, the profession of chef, just like the profession of many craftsmen, always has a place to hide. When master and apprentice get along with each other, they will not dedicate themselves to the catering company they work for, so they have to hide it.A catering company often wants to cultivate its own loyal chef resources. Could it be that if the boss asks the chef to teach them, will they teach?Taught the apprentice, starved the master to death, no one really loves dedication that much.

In the back kitchen of many restaurants, there is a chef with several apprentices, or there is no name of master and apprentice, but there is a master and apprentice. Among the small workers in the back kitchen, there are still a few who can please the chef. So some learn more, and the other part can only be a small worker.Moreover, are the chefs trained in this way trained for catering companies?Of course not, the chef was poached away, maybe the apprentice followed him.

In Jijia Catering, as long as Zhang An and other core chefs do not leave, it doesn’t matter for other personnel who have only mastered a part of the program to leave, and they can quickly get started by recruiting new people.If Zhang An and the others also leave, the existing cuisines will also be stable, and there will be enough transition period before looking for a chef again.
