"Flower in the Water" Clubhouse.

Watching Hu Pingtao and Li Song walking into the office under the guidance of the waiter, Fu Yuehui stood up from the high-backed chair behind the desk and greeted them with a smile.

"Xiaohu, long time no see! How are you doing lately?" Fu Yuehui is a nostalgic person. He always thought that Hu Pingtao took the initiative to help him last time, otherwise the stubborn Chen Hong would definitely make things worse.

"It's okay, I go to work every day." Hu Pingtao replied with a casual smile, then turned sideways, let out Li Song who was following behind, and introduced: "Mr. Fu, this is the Li Song I told you."

"Look, you are out of sight now." Fu Yuehui pretended to be angry and said with a straight face: "Why don't you call Mr. Fu Brother Fu?"

He had a very good impression of Hu Pingtao and really liked this young man.

"Okay, Brother Fu." Hu Pingtao quickly changed his words: "Xiao Li has a chef's certificate and cooks very well. Do you think we should let him try it?"

The last time the red wine incident was resolved, Hu Pingtao and Fu Yuehui added each other on WeChat. Coincidentally, Fu Yuehui posted a message recruiting chefs in Moments some time ago. Hu Pingtao didn't pay attention at the time. He went to Baijing Community to do errands that day.

Wang Zhiming only remembered it when he mentioned it. So today he specially said hello to the institute and brought Li Song over for an interview.

Fu Yuehui did not agree directly. He looked at Li Song and asked Hu Pingtao: "Is Xiao Li your friend?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Yes."

He has been busy these days and has learned about Li Song's situation in detail.

Li Song was lured into taking drugs and unknowingly smoked cigarettes laced with heroin. Later, he developed symptoms of addiction. His family noticed something was wrong, took the initiative to call the police, and sent him to the hospital, whereupon he was found out.

He stayed in a drug rehabilitation center for half a year, and stayed at home after he came out. He was never delayed in reporting to the community at the required time, and there was no record of actively purchasing drugs afterwards.

Hu Pingtao has always believed that people who have difficulties in life should still be helped as much as possible. As long as they are not committing crimes or serious crimes, they should be tolerated and given a chance to make a new start.

Director Liao Qiu often says this: As long as society improves and people are kind, our work burden and pressure will be reduced.

"As long as you say this." Fu Yuehui said happily: "Then let's try it first and then talk about it. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."

At this hour, there is still some time before dinner, and there are only a few employees in the back kitchen who are picking and washing vegetables. It is wasteful to light the fire and cook the pot at this time, but Fu Yuehui is obviously wealthy, and he is indeed the kind of person who wants to recruit real talents and learned chefs.

.While he asked the kitchen supervisor to turn on the switch and light the fire, he told Li Song to stir-fry three dishes: braised fish fillets, kung pao chicken, and mapo tofu.

According to legend, the biggest and most nerve-wracking test for chefs is scrambled eggs. This dish is not part of the exam. It is actually a story made up by laypeople based on the imagination and speculation of the industry.

Of course, it cannot be said that it is without basis. But as a catering industry operator, Fu Yuehui’s actions must be based on reality. Although the "Water Flower" Club is a high-end restaurant with high-end pricing and no white wine, many customers order it.

In addition to high-end dishes, one or two home-cooked dishes are often added to the meal. On the one hand, it is due to inertial thinking. After all, these dishes are commonly eaten. As an embellishment between lobster and abalone, the guests receiving the banquet will feel very special.

Attention; on the other hand, there is also a subconscious mentality of trying. This is a high-end restaurant after all, and the home-cooked food should be better than ordinary small restaurants.

There were both soap and hand sanitizer in the bathroom. Li Song did not choose the latter, but wiped his hands carefully with soap and then rinsed them cleanly.

This detail made Fu Yuehui nod secretly: He didn't arrange the side dishes, he just wanted to see Li Song's operational ability. Now it seems that the person introduced by Hu Pingtao is quite reliable. Chefs, especially senior chefs, are very popular in the industry.

There is a rule that is not allowed - people preparing dishes cannot use hand sanitizer and must use soap to prevent the residual industrial aroma from affecting the ingredients.

The three dishes were served quickly. Fu Yuehui was not busy with chopsticks. He paid more attention to the presentation of the dishes and the first impression than the taste.

Nowadays, restaurants use MSG and oil. People who have learned the basics of cooking can make dishes that taste almost the same. Take braised fish fillets as an example. The frying process in most restaurants is the same. It is nothing more than live fish.

Slice it into pieces, wrap it in egg whites and starch, place it in a pan and deep-fry until cooked, drain the pan and add garnishes, and finally stir-fry over high heat.

The biggest difference between a person who can cook and a professional chef is the side dishes. The main color of the fish fillet dish is yellow and white, and it is best to use tender green vegetables. Green peppers, celery, lettuce,

The upper green part of the Shawo radish and even the bitter chard stems are sliced ​​and blanched... In short, the visual effect is better than the taste.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable: for a dish that looks ordinary and unappetizing, even if the chef swears that it is delicious, no one will want to use chopsticks.

The braised fish fillet in front of you is made of lettuce, with a few wolfberries sprinkled on the surface. The combination of red and green contrasts with each other, which makes people feel bright.

Fu Yuehui picked up a piece of fish fillet and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

The fish meat is very tough, not over-cooked and loose, moderately salty, slightly sweet, and very natural.

The other two dishes were also very good. Fu Yuehui comprehensively reviewed them and gave them a "70%" rating in his mind.

This score is already very high. According to Fu Yuehui's requirements, if you pass 60 points, you can join the job.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Song, who was standing across the dining table with a smile and looked very nervous: "Xiao Li, the food is good. Well, you come to work tomorrow. Two months... um, one month's trial

For the first term, I will get 4,000 yuan first, 6,500 yuan a month after becoming a full-time employee, plus overtime and delays, and five insurances and one fund. Haha, what do you think?"

Li Song was wearing a new set of white chef uniforms with an apron tied in front of him. His hands were always holding each other's hands. With his dull temperament, he actually didn't have high hopes for this temporary exam. If it weren't for Hu Pingtao's day,

Speaking for himself in the community has calmed Hu Laosan, and Li Song may not necessarily follow him to this high-end club.

Four thousand for the trial period?

Sixty-five thousand after becoming a regular employee?

And five insurances and one housing fund?

Li Song felt that all this was too unreal.

He hates that he takes drugs. Although it is not his subjective intention, once the brand of "drug addict" is carried on his body, it can never be washed away.

He wanted to change his life through hard work, and also wanted to share the worries of his family. But no matter where he applied for a job, he would be ruthlessly rejected because of the label of "drug addict." This society's disgust, hatred, vigilance, and precautions against drugs are

It is so strong that almost everyone is resisting it, from national laws to social consensus.

Not to mention four thousand yuan, even if it was two thousand or even less monthly salary, Li Song would still be willing to work hard for it.

He just stood there, his body began to tremble unconsciously. There was an unprecedented sense of unreality in his heart, but he was even more grateful.

Both Fu Yuehui and Hu Pingtao saw Li Song's true thoughts. The former did it because of his rich experience, while the latter knew Li Song's situation and understood his desire for life and work.

"Xiao Li, come to work tomorrow!" Fu Yuehui's smile was gentle: "Add my WeChat account and I will send you the phone number of the director of the catering department. Just come to him directly when you come tomorrow."

"...Thank you! Thank you!" Li Song thanked him quickly. He was slightly out of control. He sniffed hard and clasped his hands tighter than before.

Fu Yuehui stood up, walked to Li Song, smiled and encouraged: "The cooking is good, very professional. Work hard and you will do well."

Li Song blushed and nodded repeatedly with excitement.

Patting Li Song on the shoulder, Fu Yuehui walked up to Hu Pingtao, who smiled knowingly and asked: "Brother Fu, do you have anything to do with me?"

Hu Pingtao is very smart.

He had called Fu Yuehui before and explained Li Song's situation. He originally thought he would just find a job for Li Song, but he didn't expect that Fu Yuehui's treatment was far beyond imagination. Of course, Li Song's personal abilities were good, but Fu Yuehui personally

When I came to the kitchen and watched him cooking, and the series of actions that followed, it went beyond "helping" in the normal sense.

Fu Yuehui smiled. He turned around and said to Li Song: "Xiao Li, go to the office on the third floor to find Secretary Xiao Tian, ​​and tell me that I asked you to go over and go through the entry formalities. Fill out the form, and then get the clothes."

Li Song obeyed and left the kitchen.

"Xiaohu, I really have something to ask you." There were only two people left in the empty kitchen, Fu Yuehui and Hu Pingtao, so they didn't have so many scruples about talking.

"Brother Fu, what happened?"

"There's something wrong with me."

Fu Yuehui led him around the workbench to a long table filled with various ingredients. He pointed to a pot of abalone soaked in clear water and said seriously: "Braised abalone is the signature dish of my restaurant, and there are many repeat customers."

, the amount of ingredients is also large. There is a big difference between abalone, fresh abalone and dried abalone. In order to ensure quality and taste, I use the top-notch South African dried abalone here. Look at these developed abalones, they are all the best.

The four-headed abalone.”

The abalone in the basin is indeed very big. Hu Pingtao nodded secretly after looking at it. According to the rules of the industry, the bigger the abalone, the better. How many abalones weighing a pound are called several abalones. If there are two abalones per pound, they are called double abalones.

Abalone; if there are three abalone per pound, it is called a three-headed abalone, and so on.

It should be noted that the kilogram here refers to one sima kilogram, which is six hundred and four grams.

"Xiaohu, when I open a shop, I pay attention to credibility. This kind of South African four-headed dried abalone can be sold for two or three thousand in the market. I get it from friends for about one thousand per catty. This thing

It’s quite expensive, and most of the people who order abalone here are repeat customers, not only because it tastes good, but also because it’s made from real ingredients.”
