Chapter 749: When has such a rich war been fought?
“Don’t waste any time, clean it up quickly, time is running out.”
After a brief exchange of greetings, Hao Libao urged his disciples to get busy.
Hearing his urging, several apprentices who originally wanted to chat with Li Yi each took their own apprentices, found their respective positions according to each type of work, and then started cleaning.
They carefully scrubbed the stove, countertop, steamer, pots and other places, and wiped them very carefully.
Even the water pipes connected to the faucets were wiped twice with a wet rag and a dry rag, making them as smooth as new.
After they cleaned it up, Li Yi suddenly felt that the kitchen seemed to be a little brighter.
“In the end, it is the top team, professional.”
Li Yichong gave Hao Libao a thumbs up and praised him.
“Haha! These are the most basic.”
Hao Libao smiled and took a golden apron from the bag he brought, handed it to Li Yi, and said with a smile: "You are the head cook today, and I will be your second cook."
Hearing his words, the apprentices who were busy all stopped and turned their heads to look over. Their eyes all fell on the apron, and then they looked at Hao Libao and Li Yi, with either surprise or surprise in their eyes. Confuse.
Li Yi glanced at the disciples behind Hao Libao and said with a smile: "No, you'd better rest more! It seems like you didn't get much rest last night."
Hao Libao's complexion was indeed much worse than yesterday. There were still some bloodshot eyes in his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't sleep much last night.
However, calculating the time, Li Yi only slept for four hours after returning.
After he arrived at the restaurant, Hao Libao also arrived with others.
Including the journey time, Hao Libao could only sleep for more than three hours at most.
At his age, his complexion is definitely not getting better.
Hearing Li Yi's words, Hao Libao waved his hand, stepped forward, and helped Li Yi put the golden apron around his waist. He smiled and said: "Don't worry about me. When I was young, I was busy. When I was young, it was common to go three days without sleeping."
Seeing that he could not control his enthusiasm, Li Yi could only let him help him put the apron around his body.
When the disciples at the rear saw this, their expressions became even more strange.
In the kitchen of the State Guesthouse, there is only one golden apron, and that is Hao Libao's one. This is also the symbol of the executive chef.
The five disciples wore black aprons, while the other disciples could only wear blue aprons.
Therefore, after seeing Hao Libao take the initiative to tie the golden apron around Li Yi's waist, the disciples couldn't help but look at the five disciples in front of the stove.
As we all know, Hao Libao has been thinking about retiring in the past few years, so the next head chef will naturally be selected from these five apprentices.
So, in the past few years, these five apprentices have been secretly competing with each other.
But today, in front of them, Hao Libao tied the golden apron symbolizing the executive chef around the waist of an outsider. This was tantamount to slapping them in the face in public.
For a moment, the faces of several disciples were a little worried. Only the eldest disciple, Lu Yuanshan, had a normal expression. He turned back and winked at the junior disciples to suppress their temper.
Hao Libao could hear clearly what was happening behind him.
Although he did not look back, he also knew what the expressions of his disciples were like.
He knew the characters of those boys very well.
Over the years, although he has deliberately suppressed them, in the face of various temptations, even he, a master, can hardly control them.
There are people out there poaching them every day, and the offer is never less than an annual salary of tens of millions, and there are various conditions such as shares, garages, etc.
If they hadn't still hoped to take over his position and add the last layer of gold, they might have given up their job and left long ago.
But Hao Libao knew that among them, except for their eldest disciple Lu Yuanshan, whose temperament was somewhat polished, the others were still far behind.
If you don’t give them some clues, they really don’t know how high the sky is. So, he tied this apron on Li Yi in front of them, also wanting to beat them.
They may not be convinced, but they are not afraid. After the banquet is over, they will know how much they have weighed.
After tying his apron, Hao Libao warmly hugged Li Yi and greeted him: "Haha! Master Li, these apprentices I have brought are the most experienced ones under my command. Look at the servants and tell me what you want to do." That’s it.”
Li Yi smiled and nodded, and then looked around, taking in the appearance and position of his disciples and grandsons.
As soon as the expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.
Just by looking at the position, Li Yi could already see how professional the team brought by Hao Libao was.
After the team of more than 30 people finished cleaning, they were already skillfully arranged on both sides, clearly distinguishing each other.
But this is not that they are hostile to each other, but that they divide the entire kitchen into a red case area and a white case area.
Hao Libao's four major disciples are all in Hongben District, occupying Sanzao, Sizao, Wuzao and Toudun.
The so-called three stoves and four stoves refer to the most important position in the kitchen, the stove, also called the stove.
The stove is responsible for the direct cooking of all dishes. Depending on the number of people, the one standing at the first stove is called the first stove, and the one standing at the second stove is called the second stove.
There are only five stoves in the back kitchen of the Chinese restaurant. Li Yi and Hao Libao occupy the first and second stoves, and the remaining three stoves are only big enough for the second and third apprentices.
The four disciples were assigned to the pier position.
Dunzi is also one of the types of work in the kitchen, also called chopping board.
This job type is mainly responsible for cutting, finishing of raw materials and assembling of semi-finished products.
The finishing of raw materials involves cutting potatoes into shreds and meat into chunks.
The assemblage of semi-finished products is the side dishes, which are made of ingredients, types, colors, textures and preparations according to the ingredients required for each dish.
Being able to reach the Dunzi position means that you have almost mastered the cooking skills and will be able to cook on the stove soon.
The person responsible for the management of the pit position is called Toudun. In addition to managing the large and small pits, this position is also responsible for opening the buying account.
Dunzi is responsible for purchasing the ingredients for the kitchen.
Tunzi must know how to calculate costs and prepare banquet menus, so he must be shrewd, sophisticated, and sociable.
In a big restaurant, the head chef who can eat well is even more prestigious than the head chef, because he is responsible for buying meat, and he is responsible for the oil.
Therefore, some big restaurants’ stoves are clearly high enough to be used as stoves, but they refuse to be used as stoves. They would rather cut the stove and buy vegetables.
In Dunzi, it is also divided into raw Dunzi and cooked Dunzi.
Sheng Dunzi is responsible for cutting raw ingredients, while cooked Dunzi is responsible for processing cooked food and making cold dishes.
Nowadays, cooked dumplings have been separated from the dumplings and become an independent type of work, that is, cold dishes.
The fourth apprentice is responsible for this type of work.
In addition, behind the four apprentices, there are cage pots responsible for steaming vegetables, water tables responsible for butchering fresh ingredients, and large stoves responsible for cooking rice, pickling kimchi, making cold side dishes, etc.
Although the number of people at the five disciples' Bai'an side is relatively small, it is divided into a large case for making staple food noodles, a small case for making snacks and snacks, and a noodle pot for cooking noodles, all of which have dedicated people in charge.
This team has completed all the links needed for the entire kitchen.
Looking at the full kitchen, Li Yi suddenly felt like he had returned to the imperial dining room.
In reality, it was the first time for him to command so many professional people, and he was a little excited for a while.
He has been working with a group of celebrities in the past few months, doing most of the work himself. When has he ever fought such a rich battle?
Finally, it’s the last issue, and it’s time for him to enjoy it.
