Chapter 141
Zheng Zheng Siyuan's proposal made Qin Huai very tempted.
He had been taking online classes with Huang Huang Shengli for so long, and he hadn't even met Teacher Huang, which was truly a bit unjustifiable. Now that Teacher Huang had taken the initiative to mention it, all conditions were indeed met, and the timing was chosen just right. If he didn't go to Gusu again, it seemed a bit disrespectful to Teacher Huang.
Facing Zheng Zheng Siyuan's proposal, Qin Huai only had one last question to ask: "Are the two snack masters introduced by Uncle Zheng... reliable?"
If they weren't reliable, Xu Tuqiang and the others would cry.
The acting skills of the uncles and aunts weren't covered; the acting skills that were usually emotionless and all technique had already made Zheng Zheng Siyuan unable to handle it. If he and Zheng Zheng Siyuan both ran away this time, leaving behind two snack masters who weren't skilled enough, the uncles and aunts' acting skills would be all emotion and no technique.
"They should be reliable." Zheng Zheng Siyuan didn't dare to guarantee, "They will arrive tomorrow, and you will know after the interview."
Qin Huai nodded, feeling it made sense: "Then let's talk after the interview tomorrow."
October 30th, a day that many years later, loyal customers of the Yunzhong Canteen would gnash their teeth in hatred whenever they thought of it.
Zheng Da was still reliable in doing things. On the night of the 29th, Zheng Da pushed the WeChat of the two snack masters to Qin Huai. It could be seen that both snack masters were sincerely wanting to find a job. As soon as they added WeChat, they greeted the boss and then sent their wonderful resumes.
Li Hua, male, 37 years old, started learning to cook at 16, starting relatively late. He studied cooking at Does Zhi Wei Ju for 7 years, failed to successfully apprentice, and after graduating from Does Zhi Wei Ju at 24, worked in restaurants in Hangzhou, Gusu, Shanghai, and other places, with very rich work experience. At 32, by chance, he apprenticed to Master Chen, a famous white-case chef in Gusu, barely counting as a professional background, a model of inspiration, and the resume was very beautiful.
The reason why Li Hua left Gusu and chose to return to his hometown was mainly because his child was about to enter middle school, and the child's household registration was in his hometown.
The educational resources in Shanshi were also good, and Li Hua felt there was no need to let the child borrow to study outside like in elementary school. Plus, he thought his level and talent were limited, and he couldn't make a name for himself in Gusu, and the pressure of buying a house outside was great, so it was better to return to his hometown to find a good job and live a stable life.
Simply put, Li Hua was a person who lived a life. For him, as long as the salary was okay, it was the same everywhere to work, canteen or restaurant, he wasn't picky.
Not to mention that Zheng Da was a friend of his master, and Li Hua felt that it was more reliable to be introduced by an acquaintance, so his intention to take the job was very high.
The other white-case master was relatively younger, surnamed Pei, Pei Xing, 29 years old, started learning to cook at 6, had a good foundation, and studied under a Master He at Does Zhi Wei Ju, a standard professional background.
It was said that he was also from a culinary family, a famous Huaiyang cuisine chef, and the current head chef of Chengfangju, Pei Shenghua, was his cousin. However, according to Zheng Da, the relationship wasn't that close, just coincidentally the same surname, and the cousin part was exaggerated.
This could be seen from the fact that Pei Shenghua was a Jiangnan person and Pei Xing was a Shanshi person.
However, Pei Xing's culinary talent was indeed good, and he apprenticed to Master He of Does Zhi Wei Ju early on through his cousin's relationship. However, Does Zhi Wei Ju, as the leader of snacks in the Jiangnan area, had many famous chefs, many famous masters, and even more disciples.
Master He was just an ordinary white-case master in Does Zhi Wei Ju, and Pei Xing, as Master He's disciple, was naturally even more ordinary, holding the background script next to the protagonist, only slightly stronger than the passerby NPC, occasionally able to mix into one or two frames and one or two lines.
Pei Xing thought he couldn't roll out of the head in Does Zhi Wei Ju, where roll kings emerged in large numbers, so he decided to change the track and return to his hometown to find a good job with a beautiful resume to mix through this life.
It was said that Pei Xing originally looked down on the offer of the Yunzhong Canteen. After all, compared to Does Zhi Wei Ju, the grade of the community canteen was indeed a bit different. But Pei Xing, who had always been a background board next to the protagonist, heard that he could be on his own at the Yunzhong Canteen, the salary and benefits were good, and the most critical thing was that it was close to home.
Pei Xing and Uncle Wang lived in the same community!
For the sake of being close to home, Pei Xing was instantly tempted and submitted his resume.
Facing these two snack masters with rich resumes, Qin Huai expressed satisfaction.
Of course, what he was satisfied with wasn't that they were both professionally trained, but that they had rich work experience, were hardworking, and all came out of Does Zhi Wei Ju, where roll kings were everywhere. They knew many types of snacks, not only good at Su-style snacks, but also hunted for both northern and southern snacks, which was very suitable for the Yunzhong Canteen.
As for the respective masters mentioned in the resumes, Qin Huai didn't know any of them.
To tell the truth, even Pei Xing's distant cousin, the Huaiyang cuisine famous chef Pei Shenghua, Qin Huai didn't know who he was. Qin Huai checked the encyclopedia and found that this person actually had an encyclopedia, only then realizing that Pei Shenghua might be really quite powerful.
The interview process went very smoothly.
Qin Huai and Zheng Zheng Siyuan interviewed one each, standing on the side watching Li Hua and Pei Xing make snacks.
The techniques were skilled, with no obvious shortcomings. Qin Huai also specifically asked, and Pei Xing and Li Hua's knife skills and heat control were considered qualified among white-case chefs. Professional training was good, and they learned comprehensively.
The dishes the two were good at were also different. Li Hua's best snacks were Furong cake and Dingsheng cake. As long as it was steamed cake, he was very good at it, such as cloud-slice cake, Bazhen cake, Qian-shi cake, osmanthus cake, plum blossom cake, and begonia cake, which were all daily must-dos. It was said that the restaurant he worked at before mainly sold this kind of steamed cake, and he made it every day, day after day, and could do it with his eyes closed.
Pei Xing was better at crispy and oil-crispy snacks, such as crispy cakes, crab powder crispy, fresh meat mooncakes, crab shell yellow, longan crispy, chrysanthemum crispy, peach crispy, and matcha egg yolk crispy, which were all his daily responsibilities, and his finger techniques were very good, and he was very good at styling snacks.
During the interview, Pei Xing was interviewed by Zheng Zheng Siyuan. It was estimated that Pei Xing recognized Zheng Zheng Siyuan, so he showed off a big one during the interview, making a batch of lotus crispy with very styling.
This was the first time Qin Huai knew that lotus crispy could really be made to look like a lotus flower.
Qin Huai heard Zheng Zheng Siyuan say that because he had been opening a pastry shop at the entrance of the community, he didn't have much contact with chefs in the white-case circle, but his father Zheng Da was very famous. Plus, Zheng Da sometimes bragged with his peers, saying how talented his son was, which led to Zheng Zheng Siyuan being in a mysterious state of only hearing his name but not seeing his person in the circle for many years.
Qin Huai was very satisfied with the cooking skills of the two future new employees.
Pei Xing and Li Hua were also very satisfied with Qin Huai, mainly very satisfied with the salary Qin Huai offered.
The uncles and aunts of the Yunzhong community who participated in the tasting in the afternoon were also very satisfied with the two new snack masters.
Delicious, very delicious, good-looking and delicious, everything they made was delicious, much better than the sponge cake made by Xiao Chen!
"If there are no problems, you can sign the contract today. I don't know when you will be free to come to work?" Qin Huai asked.
Senior worker Li Hua put on a standard worker posture: "Tomorrow is fine."
"Me too." Pei Xing, who upheld the principle that being close to home was good, didn't want to fall behind, and finally confirmed the working hours, "Master Xiao Qin, our working hours are from 8 am to 5 pm every day, with a two-hour lunch break at noon, right?"
Qin Huai nodded.
Pei Xing nodded with satisfaction. Returning to his hometown was good. He wouldn't even dare to think about this working length at Does Zhi Wei Ju.
There, everyone was a roll king who took the initiative to go to work early and delay getting off work.
"If you two feel there is no problem, then you can come to work tomorrow. I have one more thing that needs to be notified in advance."
"That is, before taking the job, Master Zheng should have told you that I am also a snack master in the canteen."
The two nodded in unison.
"But recently I might not be."
Both:?
"Master Zheng Zheng Siyuan is also not."
Both:??
"Since you have already taken the job, then tomorrow Master Zheng Zheng Siyuan and I will go to Gusu to start a learning exchange for 1-3 months, with the specific time unclear."
"During this time, the snacks of the Yunzhong Canteen will be handed over to you. I am very optimistic about you!"
"If there is anything you don't understand, ask the store manager Huang Xi. If you really don't understand, let Huang Xi contact me on WeChat. If the guests have emotions, Huang Xi will go to soothe them. If my sister has emotions, don't mind it."
"Oh, there is one point that needs attention. Remember to leave a portion of special meals every day. Huang Xi will tell you who the special meals are specifically left for."
"Master Xiao Zheng and I have just booked the plane and high-speed rail departing tomorrow. The snacks for the next few months in the canteen will be handed over to you. Come on!"
Both:???
Pei Xing and Li Hua looked at each other, looked at each other in dismay, and read the same words from each other's expressions.
The boss ran away?
What kind of brand-new running method is this?
This is too trusting of us, right?
Li Hua: Does this canteen have any future? Any guarantee? Any future?
Pei Xing: Is this the feeling of being a protagonist? Taking on such a heavy burden on the first day of work, too good, being close to home is indeed the priority criterion for finding a job!
