Chapter 24 The Legendary Fish Seller

Ma Xinquan, 35 years old, is the head chef of the Golden Eagle branch of the grandma's hotel chain.

The hotel is located on the third floor of Golden Eagle Plaza, where the flow of people is high, and the business is good. As the head chef, he earns 4 to [-] yuan a month.

Ma Xinquan, who felt that his income was not bad, bought a house here for 120 million yuan, with a down payment of 30 yuan and a monthly payment of 1 yuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the contract was signed, something happened to the hotel.

The boss discussed with the management. The restaurant chain, which originally focused on home-cooked dishes, had to transform. Half of the scattered tables were removed and changed into banquet tables and banquet halls for ten people, saying that it was to build a high-end brand.

In this matter, the executive chef and the boss had a disagreement, and took away his own people in a rage.

Most of these people used to serve as sous chefs, team leaders, etc. of each store, and their departure had a great impact.

It never occurred to me that the boss is not a vegetarian either, he has already found a candidate to replace the head chef, and a group of newcomers have poured into each store.

This puts the original staff of the hotel at risk from top to bottom.

No, the new official took office three fires, and the first fire was on Ma Xinquan's head.

The boss and the new head chef gave him an order. Within three months, the transformation of the Golden Eagle store must be successful, and the turnover must catch up with before.

Otherwise, he can step down and be replaced by the sous chef.

The sous chef was brought by the new head chef, and he usually smiled and looked harmless to humans and animals.

If it weren't for the pressure of the housing loan, Ma Xinquan would have just gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and left.

But now that he has been dragged here, finding a new job is unstable, so he can't afford to gamble.

Then do it, but chain restaurants are not so easy to transform.

The first is the issue of seating.

Originally, you would have to queue up for the meal, but now it’s good, you can’t get in without waiting for an hour or two, unless you book the banquet hall, the minimum consumption is 1288.

Just this one, drove away half of the customers.

The second is the problem of the new menu.

As the saying goes, dog meat can’t be served at a big banquet, and the original menu can’t be put on the table when the banquet hall is set up.

When people come to book a banquet, they will serve pork and beef or something?
What about the high-end seafood?

In Xiamen, you really don’t have to worry about seafood, it’s everywhere, but good seafood is hard to come by.

Size, appearance or something.

Buying those grandchildren only knows how to get kickbacks, and the seafood they buy is useless at all.

Therefore, Ma Xinquan, a dignified head chef, can only go to the market to buy and change.

At the beginning, he went to the seafood store and said that he wanted to talk about long-term cooperation. He wanted a big, good-looking product with a favorable price, and he wanted to deliver the goods to his door.

As a result, the boss kicked him out before he finished speaking. Everyone wanted good goods. Basically, they were snatched away as soon as they were taken off the ship. The price was higher than the market price. How could it be possible to give it to him cheaply?

Ma Xinquan was dumbfounded, he ran around in the market, without exception, let him stay where he was cool.

The banquet guests have complained many times, and the palm-sized lobster is worth 888?How dare the artificially raised sea bass be served on the table?

And the grouper, I don't know how long it has been in the cold storage.

There are so many seafood restaurants in Xiamen, but none of them are so bad!

That is to say, the society is ruled by law now, otherwise his shop would have been smashed.

The manager in the front office is getting more and more haggard every day. I have never said so much sorry in my life.

Just a while ago, Aunt Wang, the landlord of Ma Xinquan’s rented house, suddenly brought back a large two-pound grouper and asked him to help process it for her grandson to eat.

He got into his thoughts, and as soon as he inquired, he learned that there was a young man and a young girl who sold seafood at the gate of Xiamen University. There are heads.

The fish was not bad, but the young man was not good enough, he was stubborn, the crabs and lobsters were not sold to her last time, Aunt Wang was still muttering, but her eyes could not move away from the fish in the pot.

After asking about the address, Ma Xinquan went to the gate of Xiamen University early the next morning to guard it.

As a result, I didn't wait until noon to wait for the legendary young man and young girl.

I asked the security guard, and they said that they only come here every afternoon.

In the afternoon, Ma Xinquan finally saw the young man, riding an electric tricycle, and there was a little girl sitting next to him, who was so pretty.

The tricycle was parked on the side of the road, and before he stepped forward, passers-by surrounded him with a huff.

How could this work? Ma Xinquan was trying his best to squeeze forward. Relying on the arm strength he had developed with holding the pot, he finally broke through the crowd and squeezed in.

Looking into the two basins on the ground, the good guy was very energetic, and he was almost slapped by a bouncing Shi Jiugong.

There are also quite a few big fish, which can weigh up to two or three catties when placed alone in a basin, which is very gratifying to look at.

When I asked about the price, it was much lower than the price quoted by the grandsons who purchased it.

Ma Xinquan just wanted to pass a cigarette and talk to Lu Xiaolu about cooperation.

Who knew that the young man kept his head down and packed the fish, so he didn't have time to talk to him at all.

When Ma Xinquan came back to his senses, the basin containing the big fish was already empty.

"!!!"

That's okay, Ma Xinquan hurriedly ordered five sea bass from the little girl who settled accounts, they were not as big as the ones just now, but they were much better than the ones in his shop.

As soon as I took the fish and paid for it, before I had time to say hello to the young man, I was pulled away by those old men and aunts, so don't stand in the way after buying it.

Seeing that the crowd couldn't disperse for a while, Ma Xinquan hurried back to the store, otherwise the bass would be dead.

Four tables of birthday banquets in the evening served four dishes of steamed sea bass, and one of the scattered tables also ordered one.

As soon as it was over, the front office manager stepped on high heels and ran to the back kitchen. He was already fat, and he couldn't see his eyes when he smiled.

It is said that the customer is very satisfied with today's steamed sea bass dish, and will invite customers to eat here next week, and reserve a seat first.

Before Ma Xinquan could be happy, another good news came the next day.

The one who ordered the steamed sea bass yesterday was a mystery customer of the company, and the evaluation was very high!

The boss was very happy and said that he would bring the head chef to try it himself on Monday.

What does it mean for the boss to be happy?His position as head chef is likely to be kept.

Two consecutive good news made Ma Xinquan dizzy and carried away.

After calming down for a while, all the bad quality seafood was returned, and all related dishes were estimated.

The boss called to ask, and he said that he had found a good source.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ma Xinquan waited at the gate of Xiamen University after dinner. He had enough money in his bag and was going to buy more to go home.

Unexpectedly, the wait would last all afternoon, and the boy and girl riding the tricycle never disappeared.

There was no other way, Ma Xinquan went to the security guard again, and handed him a cigarette: "Brother, why didn't the boy and girl selling fish at the door come?"

Looking at the Furong King in his hand, the uncle lit up a cigarette with satisfaction, and exhaled a mouthful of smoke rings happily: "They must have classes today so they didn't go to sea. You can come and see tomorrow, maybe there will be no classes tomorrow." gone."

Ma Xinquan rolled his eyes, so he didn't faint.
