Life is a Game

"A dish?" Jiang Feng was even more surprised.

Could it be that Zhou Shi is actually the last heir of a family of culinary arts, who has been carrying a treasure and has been worried about being discovered by others, so he has been hiding his clumsiness for so long. Now Zhou Shi has taken a fancy to Stuffed Oranges with Crab, so he decided to use a family recipe in exchange.

Jiang Feng vetoed the idea as soon as he came up with it. It's too ridiculous. Stuffed oranges with crab are rare but not a peerless delicacy. How could someone use a family recipe in exchange for it.

No, what era is it now, where do so many family recipes come from.

"Actually, it's not a big dish, but I saw you, little boss, learning how to cook sea cucumber with two head chefs a few days ago, so my dish happens to be a sea cucumber dish, so I want to exchange this dish with you, little boss. " Zhou Shi saw Jiang Feng's expression and knew that he was thinking too much, so he explained.

"Sea cucumber dish?"

"Yes, cold sea cucumber." Zhou Shi said, "It's not difficult, but the method is relatively new, and it is different from the common method of cold sea cucumber. If it is a common method for the public, I am embarrassed to open this mouth with you, little boss, for the method of stuffing crab with oranges." .”

Jiang Feng was a little moved.

He has been practicing sea cucumber dishes for a while, and the one he has practiced the most is naturally sea cucumbers with green onions. Other methods such as cutting, stewing and soup have also been tried, but cold salad is rarely done.

If Zhou Shi really had a recipe for fresh cold sea cucumbers, Jiang Feng really wouldn't mind teaching him how to make crab stuffed oranges.

It is common for chefs to communicate and learn. As long as they are not unique skills, it is normal for you to learn from me and I to learn from you.

"Why do you want to learn how to make oranges from crab?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.

Zhou Shi is a traditional Lu cuisine cook. Crab Stuffed Oranges are not part of Lu cuisine, and they are not a big dish. Zhou Shi's loyalty has dropped to 17, and it is clearly written that I quit and stayed in Taifeng Building just for a crab-stuffed orange, deducting salary every month, and working overtime on National Day.

A dish of orange stuffed with crab should not have such a great charm.

Not to mention that Jiang Feng hasn't done a particularly good job, and he hasn't been able to make Crab Stuffed Oranges a grade yet.

"Little boss, to tell you the truth, I'm going to resign by the end of the year." Zhou Shi said.

Jiang Feng: ...

Was Zhou Shi given Veritaserum by someone?

Jiang Feng made a surprised look: "Ah? Are you going to resign? Is there something not good about our store? If it's a salary issue, we can still discuss it. There's no need to resign. What's the problem? You can use what you proposed, let’s improve it together!”

The image of a good boss who retains resigned employees is undoubtedly revealed.

Zhou Shi smiled: "Little boss, in fact, you have already seen that I want to resign."

Jiang Feng: ...

Comrade, you are a bit rebellious, let's do this, don't wait for the end of the year, you can resign now.

"Cough cough." Jiang Feng coughed twice in embarrassment, "You also found out, this, in fact, you have been acting a little strange these days. You know, I am a person with a strong sixth sense. Last month, I noticed that something was wrong with you. You were absent-minded when you were doing things, and you kept looking around. I wanted to talk to you some time, but you see, I have been busy all the time, especially during the National Day. Slow down and I'll forget."

"Can you tell me why you want to resign? Is there something wrong with us?" Jiang Feng asked.

"There is nothing wrong with Taifeng Building, it's my own problem." Zhou Shi said.

He is usually taciturn and has little interaction with other people. He goes to and from work every day and is complained by customers that his salary is deducted at the end of the month. He never attends parties and does not have a strong sense of presence.

My colleague has been with me for more than three months, and I don't even know if he is married or not.

You know, Han Yigu had a few girlfriends who were pulled out by Sang Ming. Except for Zhou Shi, everyone knew his last name, who was 29 years old, and a lonely man who was in his third year.

"I came to Beiping Beipiao when I was 15 years old, with my cousin." Zhou Shi suddenly began to tell the story.

"At first I worked as a handyman in a small restaurant. I used to wash dishes. Later, because the store was short of manpower, the boss asked me to work as a cook. I have stayed in many restaurants, small and large, and fly restaurants. I have worked in big hotels, and I learned a lot secretly by asking for advice. In the first half of the year, I heard that a new restaurant was about to open, so I quit my previous job and came here to apply.”

"Although I have never worshiped the master, I think my craftsmanship is good. At first, I thought that Taifeng Restaurant was a newly opened restaurant, and I would definitely not be able to hire any strong chefs. I might be the head chef when I came here. I didn't expect that there are dragons and crouching tigers here. Instead of being good, I'm the worst stove cook ever."

"Actually, it's my own problem. If I can't get what I want, I haven't put my mind on work. When I cook, I'm always half-hearted and make some small mistakes from time to time. It's also reasonable to be complained by customers about deducting wages. Among them. So my resignation is not a problem with the restaurant. Taifeng Restaurant is very good, almost the best restaurant I have ever stayed in. The benefits are also good, and you guys are also very nice, but these are not what I want .”

"Last month, I heard that a new high-end restaurant will be opened at the beginning of next year. I originally wanted to resign and apply there, and I wanted to learn something before resigning, so I fell in love with your crab stuffed orange. At the beginning of this month, I found out that the new restaurant was a French restaurant, and it was a joke. But I also figured it out, I am a competitive person, and Taifeng Restaurant is not good. It suits me. When there were only two people washing the dishes, I wanted to compete for the first place, let alone now. I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail. I have saved some money after staying in Peiping for so many years. I just want to be a chef in a big restaurant, but I don’t have a partner in my 30s, and my parents are in a hurry at home.”

"Now that I've talked about this, I don't have any embarrassment. I remember that when I applied for the job, the contract didn't say how long I couldn't leave the job. I planned to resign at the end of the year mainly for the year-end bonus. Although according to our qualifications There shouldn’t be many year-end bonuses, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s fast meat. I’m planning to go back to my hometown to open a private restaurant, and I don’t have to spend all day thinking about competing with others, thinking about stealing this and stealing that.”

What Zhou Shi said was frank, and Jiang Feng believed most of it, but he still didn't understand why Zhou Shi was still thinking about Stuffed Oranges with Crab since Zhou Shi didn't plan to change jobs, but went back to his hometown to open a private restaurant and become the boss himself.

"You're not even going to quit, why do you still want to learn how to make oranges from crabs?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Because I wanted to secretly learn about crab-stuffed oranges before, so I observed carefully when you made it, and also checked a lot of information about this dish. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that crab-stuffed oranges are desserts. Some people like it, and some people don’t. The taste at my place is sweet and sour. Stuffed crab with orange is not a popular dish, and many diners may have never heard of it. If I learn how to go back to my hometown, I can make this dish The dish is sold as a signature dish. That’s why I just said that you exchanged the recipe of this dish with cold sea cucumber. No matter from which point of view, I will make money. If you don’t want to, I can understand.” Many things just need to be said , there is nothing to worry about.

"I didn't say I won't teach you." Jiang Feng said, "I think you can all see that our family's craftsmanship is ancestral. My Jiang family's ancestral craftsmanship is a unique skill. Naturally, it cannot be easily handed over to outsiders, but crab To a certain extent, stuffed orange is a dish that I researched because of my own interests, and there is nothing that cannot be taught. If you are an employee of Taifeng Building, you ask me to learn, and I will teach. Now you are about to resign, Find me to change, and I will change too."

"You may not believe it. Our family never wanted money to open a restaurant. Of course, we also wanted money. We owed a lot of money to open this restaurant. At the end of the year, we have to repay the debt. But this restaurant treats the two of us For grandpa, it means far more than money. Do you remember what the signboard at the door looked like? It was brought by my great-grandfather from outside the customs. Wherever the signboard is hung, there is Taifeng Building, even if it is a The House of Flies is a small place, and that is also Taifeng Building."

"This restaurant is of great significance to my family. It is the obsession of my two grandfathers for most of their lives. The two elderly people realized their dream of reopening Taifeng Building when they were in their 80s and 90s. I hope this restaurant will have a prosperous business. I don’t want to make money every day, but I want to be famous far and wide, and become the famous restaurant that diners talked about.”

"The signboard at the door has been handed down for almost two hundred years now. There are many stories that even my two grandpas don't know. You just told me so much, and I won't hide it from you. My grandfather was less than ten years old. The deserters left Beiping City in disorder, and this is the first time they have come back for more than 70 years this year, because of this restaurant. Taifeng Restaurant was originally the ancestral restaurant of my Jiang family. After several twists and turns, it has changed hands several times. We are back again. Dozens of our big family moved thousands of miles back to Beiping City in order to revive Taifeng Building, bring it back to its former glory, and occupy a place in this huge Beiping City.”

"I have said so much useless nonsense, I just want to ask you to work hard in the last few months and show what you should be. When we recruited at the beginning, apart from us, the original chefs, the stove The chef recruited you and Sun Jikai, and my grandfather’s evaluation of you is even higher than that of Sun Jikai. I know you must have real skills, as you said just now, you didn’t put your mind on cooking, you You didn't put your mind on cooking before, but now that you are ready to resign, you must be even less interested in working seriously."

"What you want to learn, as long as we can teach, we will teach. You can also see that everyone never hides their secrets when discussing dishes. Sun Jikai even discussed the signature dishes of his restaurant with me. Private. I just want to ask you to work hard and work hard. Although the beginning is not satisfactory and the middle is not very good, at least it will be a satisfactory ending, right? "

"Okay?" Jiang Feng looked at Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi nodded solemnly: "OK!"

"Little boss, don't worry, I will work hard in the last few months!"

"Well, today I'll make crab-stuffed oranges for you first, and it won't be too late to teach me cold sea cucumber after you learn it. I'm a slow learner, so I hope you will take more care of me when the time comes." Jiang Feng said with a smile, going Go to the back kitchen.

Ji Xia's oranges have been processed, and now he is holding the oranges to rework to see if there are any places that have not been cleaned.

"There's too much orange juice, didn't I tell you? Just leave a shallow bottom. If you leave so many oranges in it, it won't taste right when you steam it." Jiang Feng took the orange picked by Ji Xia and concluded Conclusion, "This one won't work."

Another orange was reimbursed.

"Eat the orange meat you just picked out," Jiang Feng said.

"Then Master, I went to Grandma Chen's to cook for Dahua." Ji Xia finished grilling the orange meat in twos and got ready to go to work.

Jiang Feng raised his hand to stop her: "Wait a minute, don't worry, I'll teach you how to make crab-stuffed oranges by the way today, and you can watch and wait until I finish teaching you to go over."

Ji Xia was a little puzzled: "Master, didn't you say that you would teach me how to make crab-stuffed oranges after I can pick the oranges? I'm not going to bring a pen and paper, I... I might not be able to learn."

Ji Xia, a scumbag, is very self-aware.

"How did you learn how to stretch noodles?" Jiang Feng asked her.

"I was helping Master Liang, and I watched Master Liang stretch noodles every day. Later, Master Liang said he wanted to teach me, so I learned as I learned." Ji Xia said.

"You can just learn crab stuffed oranges as stretched noodles. Watch me make it every day, and you will be able to do it when you watch it. Make a step aside, don't block Zhou Shi's sight, he will learn it with you."

Zhou Shi nodded to Ji Xia.

Ji Xia looked at Zhou Shi: "Master Zhou, do you also worship my master as a teacher? Then should I call you brother or brother?"

Week time:? ? ?

Zhou Shiyi was speechless for a while.

Jiang Feng threw an orange to Ji Xia, and scolded with a smile: "Brother and brother, you, Master Zhou, came to exchange and study, which is different from you. I will give you an orange, pick it first, learn while picking it, don't be idle."

"Oh." Ji Xia obediently went to get the knife, and didn't forget to wash it first.
