Roaming in the world of film and television

Steven didn't even think about it, and responded immediately: "I miss it so much!"

Lin Yue took out a one-dollar coin from his pocket, flicked it into the air with his thumb, caught it, bounced it again, and caught it again.

"Look at it."

Steven looked over as he ordered.

"Empty your mind and stop thinking about it."

"..."

Steven corrected his attitude and tried to relax.

"Okay... one, two, three..."

Lin Yue's voice became smaller and smaller, and the ending became longer and longer. Steven's eyelids began to fight, and after a few breaths, he became silent.

...

An hour later, Lin Yue pushed open the door of the restaurant, got into a second-hand Buick parked by the side of the road, lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and drove away.

The TV series deliberately vilified Steven, but in fact he is very hardworking.

You must know that this city has been a bridgehead for the collision of Chinese and foreign civilizations since the Republic of China. It can be said that old-school Shanghainese grew up eating Western food. Gray Whale Restaurant is known as one of the best Western restaurants in Shanghai. How could the chefs hired be mediocre? If it is true what Lu Yuan said, the people in the back kitchen are a group of apprentices who have never seen the world, the reputation of Gray Whale Restaurant will be over long ago.

A Michelin-star chef who can speak French, English, and Chinese... a chef who can speak three languages, isn't this a talent?

What about Lu Yuan?

He was not a fart before going to the United States, but after working in the back kitchen for two years with Peng Hai's care, he became the darling of food critics? Two years from a small worker to a star chef? When western food is a math problem for elementary school students? Do you just need to work harder to get good grades? In this world, there are not only aristocrats, school lords, warlords, and chaebols, but also oil, electricity, tobacco, and finance... Which industry does not have the phenomenon of "old men are heroes and sons are heroes"? The culinary art world is still the same, without good teachers and good platforms, it is difficult for a Chinese who has become a monk halfway to become a three-star chef in a Michelin-starred western restaurant, ha ha.

Only TV dramas dare to act like this.

Oh, by the way, the dishes that Lu Yuan uses to please the food critics are actually made with instant noodle seasoning. How about a proper web story, or the super brainless kind. To give the simplest example, liquor companies above the designated size such as Moutai and Wuliangye have their own sommeliers. Look at their protection of the tongue --- no irritating food, no smoking, no makeup, no perfume, gargle, etc. You have to use distilled water for your mouth, and you have to massage in the morning and evening. Do you think liquor blended with edible alcohol and essence can fool this kind of person?

In the same way, food critics can't taste the flavor of instant noodle seasoning?

In this regard, he can only say that watching dramas with his brain is to embarrass himself.

...

On the next day, all the staff of the Reef Restaurant pulled up their spirits to prepare for the opening. The kitchen staff began to process the meat that needs to be marinated for a long time, as well as the vegetables and sauces that will be used tomorrow. After all, they are all experienced hands, although busy , but everything is in order, with the only exception being Steven.

This is not to say that he made a mistake in his work, but that everyone found that the chef's Chinese level has improved a lot, and the French flavor of his words is not so strong, and sometimes he uses idioms. Liu Hong, Pang Xu and others feel that in He has to thank everyone for this.

In addition, Steven came up with a new recipe, and everyone suspected that he had intended to change jobs, otherwise why would he keep it.

On the other side, with Lin Yue's cooperation, Cai Mingjun met Peng Jiahe by helping the old lady who suddenly lost his memory home, and confessed that he followed Lu Yuan and only wanted to learn how to cook for his teacher.

Peng Jiahe saw that he was serious, and felt that he could play with him, so he told Lu Yuan about it. The answer was naturally rejected, but Cai Mingjun was not discouraged, saying that he would impress the chef with sincerity. then left.

Another day, the Reef Restaurant opens.

Because it has been promoted online and offline in the first two days, and it is also a weekend, the popularity is quite high. Many couples and little sisters meet here for dinner.

Dang Qian ran upstairs and downstairs in the front hall and back kitchen, so busy that she was dizzy.

"Manager, manager, old chef Liu wants you to come over."

As soon as she came down from the stairs, she heard a message from the cashier at the front desk.

"knew."

With a casual agreement, Dang Qian turned her head and went into the back kitchen. It was very busy inside, the frying pan was sizzling, and the little worker sat in the corner peeling potatoes non-stop. The list that came, tell everyone what dishes are ordered at the table number, and if there are any special requirements.

Dang Qian didn't dare to disturb him, and walked to Liu Hong's side: "What happened, you called me here in such a hurry."

Liu Hong put down the knife in his hand, took off his mask, glanced at her, and took a piece of steak from the shelf beside him.

"check it out."

"What's wrong with this? Isn't it good?" Dang Qian took a closer look, and found that the steak was very fresh, and she didn't find any problems. She is not a rookie in the industry, and she still has this insight.

Liu Hong said: "It's not bad, it's great."

Dang Qian confused him: "What do you mean?"

"Manager, you were the one who received the steak when the supplier came over."

"yes."

"Then you must know the specifications of the steaks we purchase."

"It should be MAYURA black label."

"What about the grade of steak corresponding to the black mark?"

"M9."

"Then look at this." Liu Hong pointed to the marble pattern on it.

When he said this, Dang Qian discovered the problem. As a practitioner in the western food industry, she had done a lot of homework on the procurement of ingredients. As far as the sirloin steak in Liu Hong's hand was concerned, the quality had reached the M10 standard.

"Maybe the sorter made a mistake."

If you think about it, it's wrong. Now it's all packaged in the production line. Even if the sorter makes a mistake, what do the quality inspection staff do?

"Manager, this kind of super-standard steak is not one or two slices. There are two or three hundred slices in the cold storage."

"..."

This is strange. Occasionally there are a few slices of steak that exceed the specifications, which can also be said to be caused by the negligence of the staff. The amount of two or three hundred steaks is basically impossible to be a work mistake.

"How does the steak taste when done? Have you tried it?"

Liu Hong said: "The taste is very good. Steven also tried it, and he said that there is no problem with the quality."

Dang Qian thought for a while and said, "You guys wait, I'll ask the boss."

She left the back kitchen, went up to the second floor, and came to a relatively large box from the connecting corridor. She bent her arm and knocked on the door. After hearing "Enter", she opened the door and walked in.

There is a dining table for six people in the room, the boss sits at the main seat, and on the left are two women, one is in her 60s, with curly short hair hanging loose, and the other is in her 30s, wearing a red dress, perhaps because of her white skin and good temperament Because of this, she easily suppressed the two touches of the imperial concubine's looks on her lips.

There is also a woman on the right side of the boss, dressed relatively low-key, she looks like a lady, but there is a hint of bitterness between her brows. The chair further to the right is empty, but there is a set of cutlery on the table, and it seems that no one has come yet.

Lin Yue said calmly, "Is there something you need to come up to me?"

Dang Qian walked to his side and whispered what the back kitchen had discovered.

Lin Yue smiled slightly, not shying away from the three women, nodded and said: "I know about this, the quality of the steak is no problem, as for the part that exceeds the specification, you can limit it to 100 servings per day, as a benefit for customers."

"OK."

Dang Qian agreed and left with a smile on her face.

Although I don't know the reason, it is obvious that the boss must have done something.

Originally, the price of steak purchased by the restaurant is lower than other restaurants, and some products are over-standard, so other restaurants...

Dang Qianxin said that the boss really didn't want to give Gray Whale Restaurant a living.

She left with complicated emotions, but the atmosphere in the box became weird, because no one thought that he, the restaurant owner, did something like that.

"I thought you would invite friends from the business field to come over to cheer, but I didn't expect that they were all young people who came to try new things, Jiang Haokun, you don't think that with the consumption level of those people, you can support you to crush the Gray Whale Restaurant Be ambitious."

That's not a good thing to say, especially when the restaurant has just opened.

Xu Lan gave Jiang Lai a hard look, with a strong sense of warning.

The son's restaurant opened and sent her an invitation card. Although the son and husband had quarreled to the point of severing the relationship between father and son, but as a mother, it was impossible for her to be ruthless and deny it. After much deliberation, she decided to hide it from Jiang Zhihua. Stop by when the restaurant opens.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai found out about this and asked her to take her with her.

Of course she disagreed, because any fool could see that Jiang Lai was a weasel and had no good intentions to pay a chicken New Year's greetings.

Until her daughter moved out of Jiang Zhihua and said that if she disagreed, she would tell her father about it. In desperation, Xu Lan could only compromise, but there were three rules of agreement on the way here—no trouble, no disruption, eat more and talk less.

But does it work?

It turns out no.
