Chapter 302: Enthusiastic Citizen Master Tong

When Qin Huai had already chatted with Chen Gong about the glorious results of Haoweidao's second internal networking event, and Chen Gong was taking out his phone to find the networking report record that was praised by General Manager Han for Qin Huai, Zang Mu's several dishes also came out of the pot one after another.

They were all fragrant vegetarian dishes simmered with high-quality soup.

Han Guishan stood up and gave Qin Huai a look. Qin Huai immediately heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, holding the bowl and went over, followed by Chen Gong.

The three stood in a row and started to appreciate.

Han Guishan said with some regret while eating that these vegetarian dishes and steamed buns didn't go well together, otherwise he could steam two more fermented rice steamed buns to eat with them.

Qin Huai immediately indicated that fermented rice steamed buns might not go well, but longevity noodles must go well. Zang Mu is a Huaiyang cuisine master, and his soup-hanging skills are excellent, not inferior to Huang Shengli. Among the dishes on the table, there were those simmered with chicken high-quality soup.

When the banquet opens tomorrow, Qin Huai will discuss with Zang Mu to let Zang Mu share some chicken soup with him, which he will use to boil longevity noodles and serve a pot separately for Han Guishan's table. These dishes must be delicious with longevity noodles.

Han Guishan was overjoyed, feeling that Qin Huai was indeed a person who understood eating. Without tasting, just listening to Qin Huai say this, he already felt it must be delicious.

However, serving a pot separately for a small stove is not necessary, as it affects the atmosphere. There are many banquet tables tomorrow, and many are business partners. As a successful domineering president, General Manager Han still has this emotional intelligence and workplace literacy.

Of course, General Manager Han also knows that Qin Huai is responsible for all the snacks at the banquet tomorrow, and it is not realistic to ask him to add a longevity noodle, which is too tiring.

So General Manager Han indicated that there is no need to serve the dish, and he will take his wife to the kitchen to eat the small stove secretly after the banquet ends tomorrow.

Qin Huai feels that General Manager Han is also someone who understands eating small stoves. The things eaten in the kitchen are always more fragrant than those eaten outside. I don't know what the principle is, maybe it's because it's close to the pot.

As the last plate of dishes was cleaned by Han Guishan, the dish testing activity of the day was perfectly concluded.

Looking at Han Guishan's appetite, Qin Huai decided to make more snacks tomorrow and make more raw embryos, leaving them for General Manager Han to eat slowly.

If you are not very pursuing texture and flavor, raw embryos can be frozen in the refrigerator for about 10 days. Qin Huai believes that with General Manager Han's appetite, it will definitely not be frozen for 10 days.

After the dish tasting, Qin Huai and the others returned to the hotel one after another. Qin Huai tried to add Tong Deyan's WeChat through the group chat. The other party passed it almost in seconds. After Qin Huai sent a greeting expression pack, Tong Deyan also returned a very normal "Hello." Very polite, completely different from the rumored bad temper and looking at everyone unpleasantly.

Just when Qin Huai was thinking about what message to send to Tong Deyan to leave a good impression on him, so that he could eat when he went to Beiping later, Seeing Zang Liang came to Qin Huai's room to visit.

Strictly speaking, it's not a visit, but to chat about the helper matters tomorrow.

Although Seeing Zang Liang has a jumpy personality, he is as steady as his master Zang Mu in doing things, his technology is up to standard, and his knife skills can barely be called the "Little Prince of Knife Skills" as he said.

Tomorrow Qin Huai only has Seeing Zang Liang as a helper. Although he only needs to make three kinds of snacks, the workload is no lighter than Zang Mu and Tong Deyan. Seeing Zang Liang helped Qin Huai today, but he wasn't very sure whether the work content tomorrow would be exactly the same as today, and whether the time control when shipping in large quantities and when testing in small quantities would be the same, so he specially came to ask clearly.

Qin Huai didn't expect Seeing Zang Liang to be so professional as a helper, and he couldn't answer for a while. Because Qin Huai is also taking catering for the first time. There are times when shipping in large quantities, and there are times when strictly controlling time, but really cooperating with others is really not there.

After being stumped by Seeing Zang Liang's question for two seconds, Qin Huai decided to seek help from Tong Deyan.

Tong Deyan looks like he understands banquets very well; that is the time for serving dishes, professional.

And humbly asking for advice from a newly met friend is also a good way to pull the relationship between the two closer.

Qin Huai didn't have any hesitation, took out his phone, and started editing the message.

Qin Huai: Master Tong, I want to ask you about the serving time of tomorrow's banquet. My three snacks are all served last. First, fermented rice steamed buns, then San Ding Bao, and finally Four-Joy Tangyuan. What is the best interval time for these three dishes?

Tong Deyan: Which room are you in?

Qin Huai: 513

Two minutes later, there was a knock on Qin Huai's door. Opening the door, Tong Deyan, who was wearing a jacket similar to the afternoon, stood at the door.

Qin Huai hurriedly invited Tong Deyan in, poured him water, and opened his mouth under Seeing Zang Liang's shocked and even somewhat terrified gaze: "Master Tong, why did you come here specially? You could have just said it on WeChat."

"Chatting on WeChat has records, which are easy to be screenshotted." Tong Deyan said.

Qin Huai:? Just how many screenshots were taken to have such experience.

Without waiting for Qin Huai to speak, Tong Deyan continued: "You haven't done a banquet."

The tone was unquestionable and decisive.

Qin Huai nodded: "I really don't have experience in this area before. General Manager Han found me this time, mainly because of Mr. Xu Cheng's recommendation."

Tong Deyan nodded and glanced at Seeing Zang Liang, who was already trembling in the corner: "I heard you only set this one helper for tomorrow."

Qin Huai nodded again: "Seeing Zang Liang's knife skills are very good, and he is enough. The snacks I want to make tomorrow are not particularly complex, and the quantity is not very large. I asked Assistant Chen, and Yushianfang's pastry is just an add-on, without a powerful pastry chef. Tomorrow, Seeing Zang Liang is enough."

"Indeed, with the level of that group of pastry chefs at Yushianfang who don't even count as half-hanging, they aren't even worthy of being your helpers. I'm worried about them ruining the dough when letting them knead it, so it's better not to have them."

"The savory dish level is also not good. If I had known the level here was so secondary, I would have brought a few people from Babaozhai."

"Seeing Zang Liang's level is okay. Although he relies on being Zang Mu's nephew to be able to apprentice to Zang Mu, his talent is okay, and he is quite hardworking, not losing face for Zang Mu, much stronger than other connected people."

Connected person Seeing Zang Liang:...

Qin Huai:...

Qin Huai finally knows why Tong Deyan's reputation on the road is so bad. Master Tong's mouth really doesn't leave any room, and it's as ugly as it can be. In a sense, his words are even uglier than Luo Jun's.

Luo Jun is often just in a bad mood, so he sprays people indiscriminately, likes to be yin and yang, and his words are ugly, but not to the point of making people feel uncomfortable and remember it in their hearts.

Tong Deyan's mouth is full of poisonous truths.

Lies won't hurt people; the truth is the fast knife.

"Then may I ask Master Tong, tomorrow's process..."

"Tomorrow's banquet is 4 cold dishes, 10 hot dishes, 1 sweet soup, 1 salty soup, 3 snacks, 1 fruit platter, totaling 20 dishes."

"The time and order of serving dishes have been discussed with Zang Mu in advance. I didn't discuss it with you because you are a pastry chef, and your last three snacks are served continuously and don't affect the overall situation. As for the interval time you asked, you can serve one dish every two minutes, or serve three dishes together, which doesn't affect it." "I came here this time mainly because I saw you and General Manager Han say that you would serve him an extra longevity noodle tomorrow in the kitchen just now. I think this idea of yours is very good, but there is no need to serve it separately. You can completely change the quota of sweet soup for each table to longevity noodles, which doesn't affect the total number of dishes and won't affect the serving process."

"I also saw you telling General Manager Han that longevity noodles should be made with chicken high-quality soup. If you believe in the level of me and Zang Mu, you can hand over the high-quality soup to us. If you don't believe me, it doesn't matter; believe Zang Mu, he came over a few days in advance specially to hang high-quality soup."

"Of course, this is just my suggestion."

"I received the most money for this banquet, and I am also the main person in charge. If I take the money, I have to do things. Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of General Manager Han's son, Han Youxin. There is no dish more suitable for a birthday banquet than longevity noodles. If it's just ordinary noodles, there is naturally no need to change the dish. But you have recommended yourself to General Manager Han. I believe that with your level, this longevity noodle must be very unusual."

"If you don't want to do more, just pretend I didn't say it. Anyway, your contract didn't write that you have to make longevity noodles."

Qin Huai:?!

Does the contract have to specify which dishes to make?

Master Tong, is your contract signed so detailed?

Qin Huai had almost no hesitation and said: "Of course I am willing. As long as tomorrow's birthday banquet can be better, doing one more longevity noodle is nothing. It's mainly to trouble you and Master Zang. Hanging so much more chicken high-quality soup is quite heavy work. It is estimated that you have to work overtime starting today."

"I'm not troubled; the one troubled is Zang Mu."

"I'm not troubled either; the one troubled is Zang Mu. He is hanging soup in the kitchen now."

Qin Huai thought for a while and asked: "Then should I tell Assistant Chen now? Such a big thing as changing the menu, at least Assistant Chen and General Manager Han should know, right?"

Although General Manager Han probably won't care about these small things, General Manager Han just needs the banquet to be delicious overall.

"I'll say it later; don't say it." After speaking, Tong Deyan got up to leave, without touching the water Qin Huai specially poured for him the whole time.

"And, I suggest you say less." Tong Deyan said, "Catering is a pretty good way to earn extra money. We are paid, so it's best to pay attention to words and deeds."

"Guests like General Manager Han are rare, so cherish them well."

This time Tong Deyan really finished speaking and was about to leave. When turning around at the end, Tong Deyan saw the water cup on the table, hesitated for two seconds, picked up the water cup, drank the water inside, and left.

Came in a hurry, left in a hurry, only leaving Qin Huai and Seeing Zang Liang with a dashing back, and closed the door without hesitation.

Until Tong Deyan closed the door and left, Seeing Zang Liang dared to take a deep breath.

Qin Huai took the cup to the sink to wash, sighing while washing: "Master Tong is quite enthusiastic, he is a good person, completely different from the legends."

Seeing Zang Liang:?

Did we see the same Tong Deyan just now?

"Enthusiastic"

"He is a good person"

Can these two words be used on Tong Deyan?

Seeing Zang Liang, who has always been jumpy, rarely considered the wording and asked: "Spe... specifically, good where?"

"Master Tong didn't have to come to the door at all. He came to the door specially to remind me that I shouldn't eat dishes with General Manager Han this afternoon." Qin Huai said.

Seeing Zang Liang was shocked: "You knew you shouldn't eat dishes with General Manager Han this afternoon?!"

Qin Huai looked at Seeing Zang Liang and turned the cup upside down to drain: "Of course I know, I just haven't done catering, I'm not a fool."

"Then you still..."

"General Manager Han doesn't mind these, and don't you think the dishes Master Tong made this afternoon really smell very fragrant? Especially that oil-popped double crisp, the appearance, taste, and fragrance when it just came out of the pot were simply superb, really hard to resist not going up to taste a chopstick."

Seeing Zang Liang nodded heavily to show agreement.

He, such a professional helper, wanted to rush up to taste it.

"Then how did you know General Manager Han didn't mind?" Seeing Zang Liang asked.

"Assistant Chen told me." Qin Huai said, "When Assistant Chen came to the airport to pick me up today, we chatted on the road and talked about it, saying that General Manager Han is very easy to get along with, has no airs, and he doesn't like it if you are too respectful to him. He will be more comfortable if you treat him as a friend and get along normally."

"And I didn't go up to eat directly. Didn't I also ask General Manager Han and Master Tong?"

Seeing Zang Liang was shocked again. He always thought Qin Huai did that this afternoon because he didn't understand the industry, a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. He didn't expect it was because Qin Huai understood the gold-master father too well, leading everyone by a version.

Seeing Zang Liang could only shout annoyedly: "Holy crap, I didn't eat it, lost to death."

On the other side, Chen Gong drove Han Guishan home. The car just drove into the residential area. Han Guishan, who was sitting in the back row and had just finished texting his wife, confirming that his wife wanted to lose weight at night and didn't eat carbohydrates, so he could enjoy all the snacks alone, suddenly opened his mouth:

"Chen Gong, why did you chat so much with Master Qin today? I didn't see you chatting with Master Zang and Master Tong."

"Is it because you met Master Qin and hit it off? Very good, you are not much different in age, and you should make new friends. When the time comes, let Master Qin introduce a few suitable female chefs to you. In case there is one you like, chefs are quite good, cooking is delicious, and you have a mouth for food."

"This Four-Joy Tangyuan made by Master Qin today is really good. I divided it into two bags. You take one bag back later. It's quite good to cook and eat in the morning and evening."

Chen Gong said: "Thank you, General Manager Han."

"I didn't hit it off with Master Qin, but Master Qin is indeed a very good person. He is kind, not isolated, strange, and has no airs."

"I chatted so much with Master Qin today because I know Master Qin likes to chat about gossip and listen to gossip. Master Qin's dish testing this afternoon ended so early. If I didn't chat with him, he would be embarrassed to leave early alone, and he wouldn't know what to do in the kitchen."

"And I feel that Master Qin seems to be quite interested in me, so I just took it as a self-introduction and told myself as gossip to Master Qin."

"So that's it." Han Guishan was a bit disappointed. "Master Qin is indeed a very good person, you can contact more, and you should make new friends. These years, except for work, it is work. You are more attentive than me, the boss. Sometimes I am thinking, I should not be the boss, let you come to be."

"Thank you, General Manager Han for appreciation, thank you General Manager Han for promotion." Chen Gong laughed.
