Adorable Food Goddess

As soon as Ye Jiayao went to work in the morning, she went to shopkeeper Li first, and told him about her acceptance to the birthday banquet of Prince Helian's mansion. After all, she is the head chef of Tianshangju, and this matter needs the full support of shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li was overjoyed: "This is a good thing! If you do it well, you will be famous."

Ye Jiayao said modestly, "I'm reporting the name of Chef Tian Shangju."

Shopkeeper Li rubbed his hands excitedly, walked back and forth a few times, and said, "Just tell me what you need, and you can just deploy the staff in the kitchen. This is a rare opportunity, and it must be perfect."

Although Tianshangju is well-known in Jinling, most of these heavyweight private banquets are taken over by Fuji. This is the first time for Tianshangju, and if it is done well, it is equivalent to stepping up to a higher level, and it is qualified to compete with Fuji Last fight.

"I've already chosen my assistants, Zhong Liang, Deng Haichuan, Wang Mingde and Cui Dongpeng. The business of the restaurant will not be delayed, but I have to use the kitchen to study the dishes in my free time, and I may waste some ingredients." Ye Jiayao said.

"It's fine, it's fine, just open a list and indicate the use and hand it over to the accountant." Shopkeeper Li said straightforwardly, compared to the benefits he would get in the future, these are trivial things.

It’s a very contradictory thing for a restaurant owner to praise a chef. You spend a lot of effort and money to make the chef popular, and then he will pat his ass and leave, just like a cow chef. In the end, it’s cheap If you don't support it, there won't be a well-known and stable chef in the restaurant, and the business will be affected again.

But shopkeeper Li doesn’t need to worry about it now. There is a clause in the contract that Li Yao promises to train a chef for the restaurant after the three-year term expires. It is already very rare in the industry.

This Li Yao is really a lucky star given to him by God!

"Treasurer Li, how will the income from private banquets be distributed?" Ye Jiayao asked. As far as she knows, the chef usually has to pay the management fee to the restaurant for private banquets. Like Fuji Zheng Fugui, he is the shopkeeper himself. , which is another matter.

Shopkeeper Li thought for a while and said, "Generally, 40% is handed over, and 40% is 60%. You can just pay 10% and let it go."

Ye Jiayao said in her heart: Shopkeeper Li is really kind. If you pay 10%, you can't even get back the cost, so you said: "Then let's pay 20%, can't the restaurant pay for it?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled: "Okay, 20% is 20%, and we will pay this amount in the future."

Li Yao is definitely not a person in a pool, he can't be trapped if he wants to, so it's better to help a good person to the end.

With the strong support of Shopkeeper Li, Ye Jiayao went to the kitchen to announce the matter.

"The selection of assistants this time is based on personal expertise and recent performance. As long as everyone performs well, there will be more opportunities in the future."

One is to appease people's hearts, and the other is to inspire everyone. Opportunities are available to everyone, and it depends on how you fight for them.

She is determined to build a first-class team for private work, and only four or five people are not enough.

In the kitchen, the crowd was excited, the wheels were full of fighting spirit, and the envy of the wheels began to use their brains, how to win Yao's trust and favor. Only Liu Qisheng was unhappy.

He helped Brother Xiang to fight against Li Yao, but Brother Xiang went to join Li Yao by himself, and the others ignored him. In the end, only he was replaced by a third-class helper Cui Dongpeng. He didn't believe that everyone had the opportunity that Li Yao said, he offended Li Yao so badly that Li Yao would never give him a chance.

Liu Qisheng buried his head in chopping vegetables, and the chopping board thumped to vent his depression. Others thought he was about to work hard, and everyone started to work, and the kitchen was full of enthusiasm.

After lunch, Ye Jiayao called the four of them to arrange work together.

"Brother Xiang, you have finished four types of pastries in the past few days. According to our previous requirements, determine the best recipe so as not to make mistakes at that time."

Zhong Xiang nodded and said: "No problem, I will prepare the materials later."

"Wang Mingde, I want you to make me a bowl of plain noodle soup, essential, but must be delicious, use all your skills."

Wang Mingde said: "I will do my best."

"Deng Haichuan, tomorrow I will issue a list of ingredients. You go to the Helian Prince's Mansion to check the ingredients together. They must be carefully selected and not mixed."

"No problem, I promise to complete the task." Deng Haichuan patted his chest and promised.

"Time is running out, everyone act quickly." Ye Jiayao made a cheering gesture.

"Brother Yao, what about me?" Cui Dongpeng didn't receive the task.

Only then did Ye Jiayao remember something else: "Help me go to Blacksmith Alley some time, and find the best blacksmith to get me a set of knives that are handy, and drop by the copper shop to help me see if the ice mirror is ready. , I'll leave this to you."

"Okay, I know which shop custom-made the knives of Chef Niu and Chef Zheng, so let the master make a set exactly the same." Cui Dongpeng said with a smile.

"Don't be exactly the same, I want lighter ones, and get a pair of carving knives for carving." Ye Jiayao said, she is a woman, her arm strength is naturally not as strong as a man's, and the knives used in the kitchen are too heavy now. Don't take advantage of it.

"Understood, it should be small, exquisite, fast and easy to use." Cui Dongpeng said.

Ye Jiayao patted him on the shoulder: "Smart."

There is still a meeting here, and He Lianjing and Xia Chunfeng came.

"It's too early to eat now!" Xia Chunfeng was not used to it: "It's better to go to the teahouse to chat for a while first."

"Not too early, let me introduce someone to you first." He Lianjing is justifiably sneaking away early today, a rare opportunity that should not be missed.

"Who, you are so mysterious, have you handed over any mysterious person in the past few months without me?" Xia Chunfeng asked curiously.

He Lianjing dragged him inside: "You'll know when you see it."

Ah Xing saw the little prince Jing coming, and rushed forward to greet him: "Little prince, the Fuqu Pavilion has been prepared for you, please go upstairs."

"Go and call Li Yao here." He Lianjing ordered.

Xiao Lu hurried to call.

"Brother Yao, Prince Jing Xiao is here, in the Fuqu Pavilion, please go over."

Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment, so early? Are you here for dinner? Dim sum is more or less the same.

"How many people are here?"

"Only two."

Ye Jiayao said: "Brother Xiang, please get two cups of Shuanghua milk first, Xiao Lu, go and make a pot of good Lushan Yunwu, and then some tea fruit, let the rest go away!"

Xia Chunfeng entered the private room, took a look at the environment here, pushed open the window, and looked majestic and majestic, and looked at the green willows supporting the embankment, and the water was shining.

"The scenery is nice."

"The scenery is second. The dishes here are the ultimate delicious food. Oh, yes, there are also iced drinks." Every time He Lianjing recommends Tianshangju to others, he has a sense of pride, as if Tianshangju is his The same as at home.

Xia Chunfeng opened the chair and sat down: "What iced drink? Iced sour plum soup?"

He Lianjing snorted and said: "That kind of thing is out of date. You didn't know it when you came back. Nowadays, double-slip milk, pink lady and fairy peach milk are popular in Jinling City. There are no other places. This is the only one. If you don't make an appointment, you must Can't drink."

Xia Chunfeng's curiosity flourished: "Is it so exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. There are only 200 bowls of iced drinks here every day, and there is no extra bowl. The supply exceeds the demand every day. If you come late, you won't be able to make it." He Lianjing said with an exaggerated expression.

Xia Chunfeng thought for a while, and said: "The shopkeeper here is good at doing business, and knows that rare goods are available, so I want to try it."

"Just let go of your stomach, you have tasted iced drinks and delicious food." He Lianjing smiled.

Xia Chunfeng didn't take it seriously: "It's not that I haven't tasted Chef Niu's craftsmanship, it's just like that."

He Lianjing said contemptuously: "It is said that you are outdated, and the news is too ill-informed. Chef Niu has already gone to Xiangyilou, and now there is a new chef here."

Xia Chunfeng smiled and said, "You just like to try something new, just like Zhao Qixuan."

"What's new, it's looking for the taste that suits me best. Now that I've found it, I won't change the land in the future. If I want to eat, I will come to Heavenly Residence." He Lianjing said with a curled lip.

"Hey, the cooks here are so good that our Lord Jing Xiao can't even move his butt." Xia Chunfeng felt that he was exaggerating, so he teased.

"Believe it or not, your beautiful tongue will fall off later." He Lianjing said angrily.

"Xiaojing, can you stop blowing? I'm afraid you'll blow me up too high, I won't be able to hold it up, and it won't look good if I fall into the mud." Ye Jiayao came in with a smile.

"Yaoyao, let me introduce you. This is Xia Chunfeng, brother Chunyu's brother, and also my good brother." When He Lianjing saw Ye Jiayao, his eyebrows and eyes widened.

Ye Jiayao clasped her fists and bowed: "I, Li Yao, have met Mr. Xia."

While secretly looking at Chunyu's younger brother, he really looks like his old mother, Chunyu also only has eyes like his mother, nothing else, he looks like the whole body.

Xia Chunfeng nodded meaningfully, then turned to look at He Lianjing: "This is..."

He Lianjing said: "Li Yao, he is my brother and the chef here."

Xia Chunfeng's expression froze, Xiaojing first mentioned the brother, and then the chef, which meant that Xiaojing valued this person very much. He and Xiao Jing grew up together, and he seemed to be the only one who could be called a brother since childhood, but now this Li Yao was also regarded as a brother by Xiao Jing. It's too unexpected, it seems that he missed a lot of wonderful things during his absence.

Xiao Lu brings in food.

"Gentlemen, this is the double-slip breast milk you ordered."

"Yaoyao, sit down too, it's still early anyway." He Lianjing helped Ye Jiayao open the chair and asked her to sit down.

This move surprised Xia Chunfeng again, for his grandma, he and Xiaojing had never enjoyed this kind of treatment since they played together in crotchless pants.

Ye Jiayao was not hypocritical, she sat down generously.

Xia Chunfeng was very curious. He was just a little cook, why did he call Xiaojing a brother? Has Xiaojing become a foodie?

"Hey, how do you know each other?" Xia Chunfeng asked while drinking Shuanghua milk.
