Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

"Today's all-fish feast is for Sister Yan!"

In the private room upstairs, everyone sat together and started eating dinner.

I usually eat at the booth at the door of the kitchen, but today there were so many people, and the elders were all there, it was somewhat inappropriate to sit at the door of the kitchen, so I ate in the private room upstairs.

A table full of fish, with baked carp noodles in the middle, steamed fish head with black bean sauce next to it, boiled fish with pickled cabbage and grilled fish around it, and next to it there was a fried fish roll and a fried fish fillet. .

There are also fish soup, fish balls and other dishes.

An all-fish feast is all about this shocking scene and effect.

After everyone's ridicule, Chen Yan was no longer surprised. She just wanted the meal to go quickly, because none of the fish on the table was caught by her, but everyone was discussing the catch.

This is embarrassing, okay?

Shen Guofu said:

"Let's try the carp baked noodles. I went to the Central Plains Consulate in Beijing and ordered one after watching 1942. The taste was okay, not as amazing as I imagined. I don't know how this one made by Xiaoxu is."

"It must be delicious, dad. This is the big carp I caught myself, okay?"

Chen Yan: "..."

Okay, cousin, if you keep promoting it, the space station will know that you caught a fish.

What's so delicious about big fish? Small fish still eat delicious food.

She murmured as she picked up a piece of carp and tasted it. The sweet and sour taste was indeed good, but for some reason she always felt it had a lemony taste.

Big fish, big fish, one day I will catch one and avenge my shame!

"The sweet and sour taste is really good, and the fish meat is so fresh and tender. Xiaoxu's craftsmanship is really good."

Han Shuzhen liked it as soon as she tasted it.

The sweet and sour taste does not overwhelm the umami flavor of the fish, making the fish taste like tofu. The layer of fried and crispy noodles covering it is crispy and delicious after being dipped in the sweet and sour sauce, and the taste and texture are perfect. He immediately jumped up a level.

Lin Xu said:

"This dish must be sandwiched between fish and baked noodles, dipped in the sweet and sour sauce at the bottom of the plate before eating, so that the crispiness of the baked noodles and the tenderness of the fish can be reflected, two tastes, and a variety of experiences."

After everyone heard this, they all tried it. It tasted really good. The crispiness of the baked noodles made the fish meat softer and more tender. The deliciousness of the fish meat also reduced the greasiness of the sweet and sour sauce.

No matter the texture or taste, it is absolutely beautiful.

Chen Yuejin asked curiously:

"With such delicious dishes, will Xiaoxu introduce new ones in the store?"

Lin Xu shook his head:

"I don't have any new plans for the time being. Although this dish is delicious, the recipe is too complicated and it can't be sold at a high price. Moreover, customers don't order much, so there is no need to prepare dishes."

You can’t just serve whatever food is delicious in the store, that would put too much pressure on costs.

Moreover, this dish needs to be fried and made fresh, and the baked noodles cannot be prepared in advance. The labor cost is relatively high. On the contrary, the bad fish dish made by Xie Baomin can be made later.

After all, you can cook it in one pot, it’s not complicated or labor-intensive.

What restaurants like to serve the most is this kind of dish that is cooked in one pot and waits for customers to come to their door.

The more dishes are made in a single pot, the more careful you need to be when introducing new ones.

Not only the baked carp noodles on the table are delicious, but the other dishes are also delicious. After all, they are all wild fish, and they are all fresh and the meat is very tender.

Shen Guofu clinked his wine glass with Ren Chongmo:

"Why is Professor Ren a little unhappy today? Is there anything on your mind?"

Ren Chongmo shook his head:

"It's nothing. I just want to go to class but have no place to go. There are only so many classes arranged by the school. I want to teach the students something but I don't have the chance."

As he gets older, he especially wants to pour out all his knowledge.

However, this traditional Chinese language major is relatively unpopular, and students are too impetuous. Even if they study, they just want to earn enough credits, and their minds are not on studying.

In the past, Ren Chongmo could go to other schools to give lectures and so on, but after becoming the chief professor, this behavior was stopped and he immediately became free.

During this free time, I felt that the knowledge in my stomach should be spread.

Then he became more and more depressed.

He didn't expect anyone to come up with any solutions. He just chatted casually, then touched the wine glass with Shen Guofu and drank it down in one gulp.

Hearing this, Lin Xu said:

"Professor Ren, you can teach online. You can teach one class at a time, record it as a video, and upload it to the Internet. This is what Sister Yan does. When the time comes, it will be operated so that all netizens on the platform can see it. , maybe we can attract a large number of students who love this subject.”

When he said this, Chen Yan immediately nodded:

"Yes, it can be turned into a professional course. All you need to do is record the class, and I will be responsible for the operation... There are a lot of Internet celebrities in the company, so it is time to increase the depth of the company."

Although it may not be very popular, as long as the father-in-law is given something to do, there is no need to sigh and groan every day.

It just so happens that the company also lacks teachers in this area. Isn't this the best of both worlds?

And in addition to Ren Chongmo, mother-in-law Tian Qinglan can also record some professional courses.

Even if no one is studying with you for the time being, you can still accumulate this knowledge, and maybe one day you will meet a student who happens to like this major.

Isn’t the knowledge passed on?

Ren Chongmo opened his mouth. For people of his age, although the Internet has entered life, it is still somewhat unfamiliar.

If I record it for the whole country to watch, wouldn’t I be giving a lecture to the whole country?

This is good, this does not limit the venue or number of people, it is simply perfect.

While he was happy, he thought of another question:

Isn't it bad to bother your daughter-in-law like this before she even comes to the door?

Ren Chongmo asked:

"Xiaoyan, is it troublesome to record this program? Will it hinder your company? If it's troublesome, forget it, I don't particularly want to give lectures..."

"No trouble, no trouble. This is the business we are in urgent need of. I went to see a few professors before. They thought they wanted to cultivate Internet celebrities, but they rejected us before we could finish talking. Now if you agree, you will solve our company's business problems. The biggest shortcoming.”

Tian Qinglan couldn't sit still when she heard that she could help her daughter-in-law:

"Xiaoyan, is your uncle Ren the only one who can give lectures? Can I? If I can, I will also record some online courses. As long as I can help you, I can even find some professors and scholars to record them."

Ouch, this is good.

Chen Yan said:

"That's great. Let's sort out the courses. The day after tomorrow, when the company's people are at work, they can record it. Then we can record the first episode. We can also ask my brother-in-law to participate and use his fame to bring popularity."

My fame?

Lin Xu felt that it was okay to use his fame to help Ren Chongmo, but there was a complete mismatch between a rigorous Chinese language scholar and a chef who raised cute pets.

He put a piece of steamed fish head in black bean sauce into his mouth:

"My style doesn't match Professor Ren's, and appearing on camera might have backlash. Let Dundun dress up as a student and record with Professor Ren. The effect should be good."

As far as Dundun's ability to attract fans is concerned, she can become a hit within three videos.

And any interaction with cute pets is much more attractive than interaction between people.

Shen Baobao's eyes lit up:

"That's it, let Dundun come. Dundun has shown his performance talents before. The last time he played the piano, netizens also showed his music appreciation. Now, it's time for him to learn some advanced knowledge."

Ren Chongmo was not very interested in pets and originally thought this proposal was too naive.

But what I didn't expect was that everyone, including his wife, agreed to let Dundun try it.

If that's the case, let's try it.

When dinner was almost finished, Lin Xu suddenly received a call from Liao Jinming, the catering department of Diaoyutai.

"Director Liao? Is there anything wrong with your call?"

"Lin Xu, is Lao Xie at your place? Let him answer the phone first."

Looking for my senior brother?

Then you can just call his cell phone. Why are you calling me here?

Lin Xu handed the phone to Xie Baomin:

"Director Liao is looking for you. I don't know what's going on."

Xie Baomin took his mobile phone and went out. Not long after, he opened the door of the private room and waved to Lin Xu.

After Lin Xu came out, he said:

"It's like this. Yanjing Hotel contacted Director Liao and said that he deeply realized his mistakes and would make strict rectifications. The accident during the hotel visit would never happen again."

"What does that have to do with us? They are not a subordinate unit of Diaoyutai, so they don't need to make such a guarantee, right?"

Xie Baomin smiled:

"They want to hire you as the supervisor of Yanjing Hotel, responsible for the kitchen supervision of all restaurants in Yanjing Hotel."

Supervisor...manager?

Lin Xu asked:

"Then what?"

Xie Baomin was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What then?"

"The treatment, let me work for them, why don't you even mention the money? Those professional catering consulting companies charge very high fees. Are they trying to get away with nothing?"

Good guy, I and Diaoyutai are mutually beneficial, that's why I have the false position of supervisor, which is specially set up for me.

But Yanjing Hotel followed suit and found it somewhat inappropriate.

I have nothing to do with you. I just come up and let people do the work.

If the dishes fall over again, will they blame me for my lack of supervision?

Although this possibility is unlikely, we must be careful.

Xie Baomin took his mobile phone and said to Liao Jinming on the other end of the phone:

"Did you hear that, Director Liao? My junior brother gave me an attitude. I let people do the work without getting paid. How can such a good thing happen? Later, their dishes were overturned, and all the netizens came to scold my junior brother for such a job. You can go to whoever you want, but we won’t agree to it.”

Liao Jinming's voice came from the phone:

"Okay, I understand. I'll reply to Yanjing Hotel right now."

After hanging up the phone, Liao Jinming said to Ye Lixin sitting in front of him:

"Did you hear it too? What an honor you think it is, these two brothers have no idea at all. The reason why Lin Xu agreed to work in Diaoyutai is because he learned a lot of dishes here, and the head chefs were willing to give him advice. ...If Yanjing Hotel doesn’t give me any benefits, would you agree to it?”

Lin Xu now wants to be famous without lacking fame, wants to be taught by teachers without lacking teachers, and wants background without lacking background.

How could he be willing to get involved with Yanjing Hotel when he was being scolded one after another online?

Ye Lixin knew that this matter was not that simple.

I was also prepared to hit a wall.

He thought for a while and asked:

"Old Liao, you also know that in an organization like ours, we can increase the benefits, but the salary is very stuck. If I offer Lin Xu a salary of ten thousand or eight thousand, he probably won't like it."

Ordinary people might think that this money is not free, but Lin Xu is not short of such small money.

Director Liao nodded and took the teapot to refill Ye Lixin's tea cup:

"Forget about the small money. His father-in-law is so rich, and Linji Food's daily turnover is in six figures. A small amount of money is really not worth mentioning."

"What should we do? Lao Liao, you have to help me."

Director Liao smiled bitterly:

"How can I help? Tie him up? Just forget it if they don't agree. Anyway, the popularity of Yanjing Hotel will pass soon, and no one will remember Lao Xie's visit to the restaurant."

Ye Lixin took a sip of tea:

"But I really want to support the Chinese food of Yanjing Hotel... Qi Zhentao's craftsmanship is nothing to say, but in terms of management... he is soft-hearted, but he has a bunch of juniors, apprentices, and godsons. He needs an outsider to forcefully intervene. , this person must have skills, fame, and background...Lin Xu fits the bill."

"So, you are planning to let Lin Xu offend others?"

"That's true, but if we don't break it, we can't build it. There's nothing we can do about it."

Ye Lixin also knew that it was not easy to do this, but the rectification of Chinese food was imperative, so he had to find a way to get Lin Xu to the Yanjing Hotel and let him kill those nepotistic gangs.

Director Liao said with a smile:

"Lao Xie and his brothers probably don't care about offending people or anything like that, but it still depends on your leverage."

Chips...

Hotels such as Diaoyutai and Yanjing Hotel, which are listed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, actually don't have much leverage. Their wages and benefits are locked, and their benefits may be increased a bit, but for Lin Xu, it's still better than nothing.

What bargaining chips can be used to impress Lin Xu?

When Ye Lixin was worried, Director Liao reminded:

"How many places can Yanjing Hotel strive for every year?"

"Two... eh, it seems that we can give Lin Xu a place to settle down. Isn't he a native of Yanjing?"

"No, Lao Xie was nagging me about settling down a few days ago. Diaoyutai has assigned several managers with outstanding performance this year. I originally wanted to give it to Lin Xu next year. If you can give him one, Then I can help you match them up."

The reason why Lin Xu was given the position of director a few days ago was to prepare for settling in the capital.

After all, the first condition for settling in is to make outstanding contributions.

The higher Lin Xu's position in Diaoyutai, the more obvious his contribution. The operation and settlement of the company is not a piece of cake.

However, the quota for settling in Diaoyutai will only be available next year.

If there is a quota at Yanjing Hotel, then help him get it.

If you settle in Beijing as soon as possible, it will be much more convenient for you to see a doctor or get things done in the future.

Ye Lixin was overjoyed when he heard this:

"If Lin Xu can help me, then I will give him a place to settle down!"

Originally, the two quotas were intended for Qi Zhentao's two junior disciples, but the good chefs made things so messy that the quotas were given to shit, so they should be taken back immediately.

Seeing Ye Lixin so happy, Liao Jinming said:

"I tried my best to persuade him... It's almost time for dinner. Manager Ye, please stay and try our dinner at Diaoyutai to see if it suits your appetite."

"Next time, I have to go back quickly and tell everyone that this year's registration quota has been canceled due to the rollover scandal. It can also put some pressure on Qi Zhentao."

After sending the head of Yanjing Hotel away, Liao Jinming quickly sent a message to Xie Baomin:

"One quota for settling in the capital, is that enough?"

Xie Baomin, who was eating, saw the message and immediately handed the phone to Lin Xu:

"Junior brother, what do you think of this condition?"

Settlement quota...

Is there such a good thing?

Originally, I just declined politely because of the salary issue. Unexpectedly, Yanjing Hotel actually spent a lot of money and took out the quota for settlement.

Xie Baomin said from the side:

"You are a freshly graduated college student. You will start your own business as soon as you graduate. With your contribution to cooking, you will definitely be able to settle down after some operation."

That being the case.

Then... agree.

Thinking of this, the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:

"The host received an invitation from Yanjing Hotel and triggered the main mission [Settling in the Capital]: Ask the host to help Ye Lixin, the general manager of Yanjing Hotel, carry out the kitchen reform work and successfully settle in the capital. After completion, a special prop refresh card will be rewarded, and a perfect memory Get two redemption cards and draw three perfect lost dishes.”

Oops, the main quest finally appears.

But what is this special item refresh card?

It looks like a new prop.

He clicked on the explanation and then understood.

This is used by clicking into the special props column. If you are not satisfied with the special props you have brushed out, you can use this card to change to a new special prop.

Similar to the prop replacement card in the game.

I thought it would save the refresh time of the special item bar, but I didn't expect that there would be no bonus to the countdown... The money that the system should earn is really not a penny less.

Profiteer!

Seeing that Lin Xu agreed, Xie Baomin immediately replied:

"My junior brother can give it a try, but Yanjing Hotel wants to increase his position. Who can supervise only a supervisor? Either the director or the general consultant, with the title "general manager"."

After this matter was settled, today's dinner was officially over.

Ren Chongmo and his wife didn't stay long and hurried back to prepare lessons overnight.

Everyone else also went back to their homes to enjoy the weekend peacefully.

Two days later.

When Lin Xu signed an appointment letter as the director of the catering department in Ye Lixin's office, he officially became the part-time director of Yanjing Hotel.

"Master Lin, from now on you will be the director of the catering department of Yanjing Hotel. I hope you can get into work as soon as possible and help me smooth out the work of the catering department."

"I try my best."

Lin Xu looked at his appointment letter and felt like he was in a dream.

Who would have thought that as an unemployed graduate from a university of finance and economics, he would not only become a chef, but also become the supervisor of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and the director of the Yanjing Hotel.

Although these reputations are tempting, they are also difficult to obtain.

For example, right now, as soon as he signed the appointment letter, Gou Junguo whispered to Lin Xu:

"Master Lin, the people in the kitchen have said that if you dare to enter the kitchen, I will give you a slap on the wrist. Do you need me to accompany you?"

Xie Baomin next to him said:

"How about I go with you? I'm very good at dealing with such thorny things. I can make them spin around with my eyes closed."

You are good at cleaning up because you are also a prick, right?

Lin Xu muttered something in his heart, and then said with a smile:

"No need to accompany me. If they can give me a blow, it means the craftsmanship is good. This is a good thing. I'm afraid they are just talking."

After speaking, he handed the signed documents to Dou Wenjing, who was also here, and walked out of the office with his hands behind his back.

Give me some power? The tone is not small.

It just so happens that a new official takes office today, so let's play with them!
