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

Seeing Lin Xu making soup stock, Qi Zhentao was also busy and helped with the work.

When making the stock, every step is explained in detail.

"Let's go back and formulate the work process of the soup department, form rules and regulations and hang them on the wall, so that no one will innovate privately and destroy the Yanjing Hotel's sign."

The person who opened his mouth before was talking about innovation, which opened Lin Xu's eyes.

If this is an innovation, then let your own Shen Baobao stay in the kitchen for two days and create a ninth cuisine?

There are indeed some improvements that can be made to traditional cooking methods.

But it also has to be based on a solid cooking foundation.

It just comes with chicken juice and MSG. What kind of innovation is that? If you want to make some thick soup or something, this is not pure Hex technology.

"I was negligent. I didn't expect there would be so many problems."

While Qi Zhentao was busy working, he discovered that the assistant cooks and apprentices in the soup department didn't even know the most basic knowledge of soup stock. This was obviously the chef's pot.

After work, as a department leader, I need to explain some cooking essentials and techniques to employees, so that everyone can improve and make progress.

As a junior, he was probably afraid that the disciples would starve to death, so he did whatever he wanted in the soup department.

So careless, so careless.

I thought I could share some of the pressure.

As a result, the signboard was almost smashed.

After smoothing things over in the soup department, Lin Xu told everyone to keep an eye on the pot, and by the way, they could practice knife skills or study the combination of dishes.

Although I am in the soup department, I can learn from other departments.

We can't sit here and make soup all the time.

We are not a certain country in Japan. Even if you spend your whole life cooking soup stock, we will not give you the title of soup stock fairy.

After leaving the braised food department, the chefs outside looked at Lin Xu with complicated eyes.

Originally, they thought that Mr. Ye had found an Internet celebrity to gain popularity. They were somewhat disdainful of the fame of Lin Kee Restaurant and Lin Xu.

Because the chefs at Yanjing Hotel always feel that they are royal chefs and are superior to others.

Even Diaoyutai is ignored.

But now, after watching Lin Xu's process of making abalone juice, I understand that his fame is not accidental.

Moreover, within half an hour of entering the kitchen, he opened a kitchen assistant and hired a head chef.

The HR department actually cooperated throughout the whole process, which was obviously a signal. They came with Shang Fang's sword, and they would kill you if you didn't obey.

Although everyone was not angry about the addition of a director, they became docile when they saw that Chef Lian's nephew was fired as soon as he asked.

After leaving the Yanjing Hotel, they could never find a job with such leisure and good benefits.

When Lin Xu, accompanied by Qi Zhentao, went to the pastry department, several chefs gathered together in the cooking area not far away and muttered.

"If it doesn't work, we will resign collectively. If you don't believe it, you can't deal with a director."

"Yes, let's resign collectively and see how they clean up this mess."

"I advise you not to do this. When they came here before, didn't they see that the director of Diaoyutai's catering department also came? I can guarantee that if we resign collectively, Diaoyutai will bring in a group of chefs."

It would be somewhat difficult to get a group of state banquet chefs from other places to support the Yanjing Hotel.

But where is Diaoyutai? It was so boring that we had to compete behind closed doors every year, and the talent pool was astonishing.

Not to mention that all the eighteen head chefs are masters, even a head chef like Cheng Jianshe is more than enough to be the executive chef of a five-star hotel.

Liao Jinming came here today. In addition to supporting Lin Xu, he also wanted to see the quality of the kitchen here.

If that doesn't work, we'll clear them all out and recruit a head chef from Diaoyutai to take over.

Although on the surface the two companies are in a competitive relationship, on a larger scale, they are both Guo Zitou restaurants in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they are brothers who share the same spirit.

When one party is in trouble, the other party cannot sit idly by.

When Gou Junguo was clamoring for revenge on Diaoyutai, Ye Lixin drew a red line because he was worried that the trouble would go too far and hurt the harmony between the brothers.

But what he didn't expect was that his front desk manager's form of revenge would be so novel.

Xie Baomin's comments are sharp and accurate, and he is called the king of heavenly kings by netizens, while Gou Junguo is... the king of lickers.

But this cooperation was really thanks to Gou Junguo's complimentary revenge.

If this guy really went to Lin Jiheng and raised his eyebrows, he would probably completely ruin the chance of cooperation.

"Welcome Director Lin to the Pastry Department of Yanjing Hotel!"

As soon as he entered the pastry department, Lin Xu saw a banner hanging inside.

Unlike other departments, these pastry chefs meeting Lin Xu were like die-hard fans meeting their idols.

"I never expected that Boss Lin would become our director!"

"I was so excited last night that I couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. If anyone laughs at the pastry chef again, we will move Boss Lin out."

"It's a must. I must watch Boss Lin's videos every time. Because of his recommendation, I followed the accounts of Boss Lady, Yue Liyue, Wu Kexin and others."

"Every time I take a break, I go to Lin Kee to eat a bowl of noodles. We are pure Lin Kee boys."

"..."

While everyone was chattering, Qi Zhentao, who was accompanying him, sighed helplessly.

You shouldn't have followed me just now.

Lin Xu didn't expect the people in the pastry department to be so enthusiastic.

He smiled and took a photo with everyone, and then said:

"I didn't expect everyone to love me so much, I'm really scared."

The head chef of the pastry department is a young chef wearing skull earrings and retro round glasses on the bridge of his nose. He is about 27 or 28 years old. He pointed at the pastry department and said:

"Come on, Director Lin, check more and more. If anything doesn't work, I'll rectify it immediately. Check it as you like."

This attitude is very different from the soup department.

When Lin Xuzheng was sighing, Qi Zhentao next to him said:

"Siming, don't make noises. Chef Lin is here to make corrections."

Siming?

Thinking of Qi Siliang who had just been fired by him, Lin Xu turned his face and looked at Qi Zhentao and asked:

"Is this head chef also a member of your family?"

"It's my son Qi Siming who made Director Lin laugh."

Lin Xu looked at the skull earrings on Qi Siming's ears, and then looked at Qi Zhentao with a helpless face, and felt very emotional. Lao Qi had raised this child to be a bit rebellious.

But he is also Qi Zhentao's son, so that's why the pastry department dared to hold a banner to express welcome, right?

Qi Siming smiled and said to Lin Xu:

"Director Lin, although my dad is a master of red cases, I haven't liked red cases since I was a child. I think white cases are fun and creative."

From him, Lin Xu saw the shadow of the brothers Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang.

If there had been no previous intervention, the two brothers would most likely have looked like this.

You ask me to go east and I go west. Everything is the opposite of what my parents want.

With excitement on his face, Qi Siming said to the pastry chefs around him:

"Don't be stunned. Hand in your homework. Boss Lin finally came over and let him see our pastry chef's skills and give us some pointers."

This attitude made Lin Xu feel like a student who had finished his homework and couldn't wait for the teacher to revise it after the vacation.

Soon, these pastry chefs came up with their own pastry creations.

"Boss Lin, this is a football puff pastry made with black and white puff pastry based on the hydrangea puff pastry you taught me."

"This is an orange noodle made based on the noodle taught by Chef Xie."

"This is a thousand-layer lotus cake with gold edges."

"Come on, boss Lin, look at mine. I made panda cakes."

"..."

Lin Xu looked over one by one and found that everyone's craftsmanship was very exquisite. If anyone uploaded it to the Internet, it would take away everyone's damn skills within three seconds.

I didn’t expect Yanjing Hotel’s pastry department to be so strong.

When he saw Qi Siming's works, he was even more shocked.

Having just learned Qi Siming's identity, Lin Xu instinctively felt that nepotism must be at work for this rebellious young man to become the head chef of the pastry department of Yanjing Hotel at a young age.

However, when I saw the lifelike motorcycle in front of me, I realized that Qi Siming had risen to the top through strength.

It can be said that even if you go to Diaoyutai, where there are many talents, you can become the head chef of the pastry department just by relying on your skills in making dough into motorcycles.

This motorcycle is very realistic, and it is also Ducati’s most popular model.

The red body of the car makes people unconsciously think of the famous saying "Red is no more than Ducati, green is no more than Kawasaki".

"This is my car. Even the license plate number is mine. It is made by frying the frame first and then steaming it. When steaming, red yeast rice flour and lard are added to it, so the color is like this. Red and bright.”

This car is not cheap, costing less than 500,000 yuan.

The more Lin Xu looked at it, the more beautiful she felt:

"Master Qi, let's film a show together later. You can teach me how to make this motorcycle. It's so beautiful. The more I watch it, the more I like it."

When Qi Siming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"No problem, no problem. I really love watching those videos you took. Can we shoot them with Dundun then? I also made a Dundun cake before, but then I thought it was unlucky so I stopped making it."

Dun Dunsu?

Lin Xu's face was filled with surprise.

Man, you are such a big fan.

But Dundunsu...it sounds like I really want to try it.

He looked at the group of pastry chefs and asked:

"Do you have your own video accounts online?"

Qi Siming shook his head in distress:

"Yes, but we don't have many fans. We are good at doing it, but not good at shooting. An MCN agency asked us to cooperate before, but the terms were too overbearing and we didn't agree."

"Then sign with my company. Sign an individual first, and then sign a contract with the pastry department as a whole. Later, let professional photographers and post-production teachers help you improve the quality of your video. I don't believe you don't have fans."

I really didn’t expect that I would get something like this from visiting the Pastry Department.

Qi Zhentao originally thought that his son was just messing around, but he didn't expect that he could become an Internet celebrity like Lin Xu, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Lin Xu took his mobile phone, took pictures of everyone's works and sent them to the group.

The originally dead WeChat group immediately became active.

"Are these all desserts?"

"Looks like I want to eat it. Who made it?"

"Didn't you go to Yanjing Hotel? Why did you suddenly make so many desserts?"

"This girl has no resistance to this kind of delicacy. She really wants to bite off the motorcycle's engine."

Lin Xu saw Chen Yan speaking in the group and immediately liked her:

"Don't worry about other people's engines. Come to Yanjing Hotel quickly with the contract and sign all these pastry chefs. From now on, these are our own people."

"Okay brother-in-law, I'll be there soon!"

After Chen Yan agreed, she hurriedly came to Yanjing Hotel.

Zeng Xiaoqi posted a pitiful emoticon:

"Boss Lin, can you bring these pastry chefs to the TV station to record a few programs? The World Cup is about to start, so make some football cakes to suit the occasion."

I take it you want to eat it?

Lin Xu replied:

"No problem. Once I get this straightened out, I'll take them to record the show."

Compared to these desserts, Lin Xu is actually quite interested in Dun Dunsu, but the little guy should be recording a program with Professor Ren at the moment, and I don’t know how the effect will be.

There is nothing that needs improvement in the pastry department, everything in it is good, and the employees are very hardworking because they are relatively young.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be making a bunch of weird pastries in private.

If the chefs at Yanjing Hotel were as diligent as them, even if they were only half as diligent, there would be no chance of overturning.

Although it is a bit one-sided to say that "one soldier is a raging soldier, a general is raging in a den", but it is indeed different with a good leader.

Take this pastry show for example, it’s full of energy and everyone is full of energy.

Completely opposite to other chefs who look greasy and lifeless at first glance.

After looking around, just as he was about to leave with Qi Zhentao, Qi Siming suddenly said:

"Boss Lin, it is said on the Internet that your noodle preparation is accurate every time, every gram is accurate. Can you show it to us? It takes us four or five times to succeed once."

Lin Xu smiled:

"There's nothing showy about it, it's just that practice makes perfect."

He washed his hands, saw the dough on the chopping board, and asked curiously:

"What are you planning to do?"

"Making door-nail meatloaf, eh, yes, Boss Lin can help us share the portion."

Doornail meatloaf?

This kind of meat pie is about thin skin and big stuffing. Because it is the same size as the door nails inlaid on the wooden doors of wealthy families in the past, it got the name door nail meat pie.

The dough for this kind of meat pie is not big, about 15 to 20 grams. If it is too thick, it will become a pie instead of a door nail.

Lin Xu asked:

"How many grams do you dose?"

"Any amount is fine. We will use as many grams as you put down."

This condition is loose enough.

Lin Xu thought for a while, kneaded the loose dough twice, and then pressed it in the middle of the dough a few times with the palm of his hand.

Then pick it up, cut it directly from the middle, and make it into a ring shape.

Then alternately hold it with your hands to make the thick ring thinner, pinch it out from the middle, place it on the chopping board and rub it twice to make the long strip even and the surface smooth.

Do not knead the relaxed dough too much, otherwise the dough will become glutenous and it will not be rolled into thin sheets.

Start taking the dose.

He grabbed one end of the dough with his left hand and quickly pulled it with his right hand. The big dough was quickly turned into even dough balls.

A pastry chef opened the kitchen scale next to him and placed a pasta dish on it:

"16 grams."

Then put another one:

"Hey, this one is also 16 grams."

I tried several in a row and found that they were all 16 grams, which surprised everyone.

Lin Xu said:

"You guys go ahead and cook it. Chef Qi and I will go out and have a look. If we don't have any other plans for lunch, we'll just wait to eat the door-nail meatloaf you made."

"Hello, Boss Lin!"

After leaving the pastry department, Qi Zhentao said:

"I really didn't expect that a child who had not been doing his job since he was a child could be so creative in pastry. I even forced him to learn red crime for a period of time before. But the more forced he was, the more rebellious he became, and he even criticized me for recruiting apprentices everywhere. My godson is very dissatisfied."

Don't talk about your son, I'm also very dissatisfied.

All the good restaurants were in trouble because of these connected customers.

Of course, we have to thank these connected households, otherwise it is uncertain when we will be able to earn the quota for settling in this time. And the senior brother became famous in the shop shopping circle thanks to these connected households.

So in order to express my gratitude to these related households, it wouldn’t be too much for me to fire a few, right?

Next, he moved around in other departments in the kitchen. This time everyone restrained themselves a lot. Although there were still many problems in some places, the attitude had changed.

Obviously, this is fear.

Since you know that this is not your own business and you can't act recklessly, why didn't you take it more seriously before?

Most of the chefs here are pretty good at their craftsmanship.

It's just that the attitude is not good, so there is an overturn in the dishes.

Lin Xu didn't stay long, looked around and then went upstairs.

Back in the office, Lin Xu found that none of his senior brothers had left. Even Dou Wenjing was also on the sofa, working with the notebook he brought with him.

Are you planning to eat it while waiting for dinner?

Ye Lixin smiled and handed over a cup of tea:

"That's awesome, Director Lin. He came up and killed Chef Qi's nephew. Just now he was outside wiping tears. That kid is an honest person, but his brain is a bit hard to turn around."

Lin Xu knew what he meant and was afraid that Qi Zhentao would be angry and give up.

But Lao Qi is not that stupid. Although he likes to accept apprentices as his sons, he will definitely not be happy if you make him lose his job because of these people.

And we have just found the root cause of his illness.

Next, it depends on whether the chefs in the kitchen are sensible or not.

If you still can't correct your mentality by relying on your connections, then help them correct it again.

Anyway, expelling one person is also an issue, and expelling two people is also an issue.

Seeing Lin Xu coming back with a smile, Liao Jinming immediately breathed a sigh of relief:

"Mr. Ye, don't forget to make arrangements for lunch. We in Diaoyutai are both out of work and offending others, so we need a good meal to calm down our shock."

"No problem, it's all a trivial matter. What will Director Lin prepare for lunch? I'll let someone arrange it."

Lin Xu took a sip of tea and then said:

"I plan to eat the door-nail meatloaf made by Qi Siming for lunch... I didn't expect that Chef Qi's child is actually a pastry chef, and his skills are so good. If I hadn't signed the contract, I really wanted to poach him."

When Ye Lixin heard this, he couldn't help but wave his hands:

"It's okay, it's okay. This kid Siming even praises the boss for his pastry. What if you want to poach him?"

Since even the big leaders praise it, why don’t you help publicize it?

However, we cannot blame Yanjing Hotel for this. Diaoyutai also has the problem of single promotion and not paying attention to online marketing.

That is to say, after I joined in, Diaoyutai came into everyone's sight.

A symbol from the past comes alive.

Not long after, Chen Yan and Sister Weiwei drove up.

Lin Xu came downstairs and asked the pastry department people to come out and sign the contracts one by one.

Originally he only wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with the pastry department, but after Ye Lixin found out, he immediately signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Chen Yan on behalf of Yanjing Hotel.

Now, the two major national hotels have become partners of Happy Media.

This made Chen Yan very happy.

Ever since I met my brother-in-law, my fortune has been coming very fast.

In the past, Happy Media was one of many MCN organizations, and was laughed at by its peers for poaching the outdated anchor Wu Kexin.

But now, it has become a large company covering the live broadcast circle, gaming circle, life circle, food circle, cute pet circle and other businesses. If it comes to the professional course circle, it will really become one of the few giants in the industry.

After the signing was over, it was lunch time.

Everyone came to a private room in the restaurant, where eight small plates of cold dishes were already placed.

When everyone sat down, Qi Siming brought the door-nail meat pie that Lin Xu asked for.

The outside of the meatloaf is a small charred shell, which is crunchy and crispy when you bite it, and the fragrant juices inside flow straight into your mouth along the broken hole.

The taste is beyond delicious.

The meat stuffing should be made from beef breast meat, both fat and lean. It is so oily and fragrant that you can't wait to swallow it with your tongue.

While eating, Baby Shen sent a message:

"We have finished recording, and we are eating the lunch box delivered from the store. Dundun is nibbling on dried fish. What did you eat for lunch?"

“The meatloaf bursts with juice as soon as you bite it.”

"Wow, I want to eat too. Husband, can you cook it for me when you're not busy?"

Seeing this news, Lin Xu unconsciously pictured Shen Baobao's pitiful appearance in his mind.

He smiled, picked up the phone and replied:

"good!"
