Chapter 559: A Monthly Ticket Can Be Expected In The Future(1/2)
"It's true." McGrady's assistant nodded, "because the boss used to be a sailing man, and at that time he was on the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Now many people on the ship were recruited by him at that time, but at that time the boss was still in Fuzhou, and he only changed his new ship to Hong Kong in recent years.
So the boss’s requirement for everyone is to be able to speak two languages as much as possible, and it is best to be able to speak Chinese."
Chen Nian nodded, but unexpectedly there was such a story. He didn't expect that the boss of this ship had been active in Fujian before: "Mr. McGrady, you followed the boss at that time? Because I heard you speak, it seems that you do have the accent from Fujian."
"Yes." McGrady did not deny this, "and it was not just me, but Mr. Huo also followed the boss since that time."
Chen Nian immediately understood that no wonder Mr. Huo was able to sit firmly on the top restaurant in the boat. It turned out that he had followed the boss long ago. It was normal for a veteran to sit at his current position.
It didn't take long before Chen Nian arrived at his new room.
The new room of the old one is a separate single room. Although the area is small, you can only place a bed and a table next to it, but this is much better than the previous environment.
"Is this place so good?" Tonio, who followed him, looked around in surprise. The location where he lived was closer, so he followed Chen Nian to take a look, and then went directly to his room.
Chen Nian was very satisfied with the new environment: "It must be very comfortable to live here."
McGrady smiled: "The chefs on the boat all have separate rooms, which is to work better. Only by resting well and keeping a happy mood can you have more energy when working during the day, right?"
"That's right." Chen Nian couldn't agree with this sentence more.
"Okay, then you can clean up here briefly. I will take Mr. Tonio to his room first. I will come to you to record the dishes you are good at, so that we can change the menu at that time."
"Okay, please trouble Mr. McGrady."
Then McGrady took Tonio away again, while Chen Nian stayed in his room and started cleaning up.
The room here is really good, and there is even a small window that can see the sea. Although Chen Nian has lost interest in the sea now, it feels great to have light shining in.
Chen Nian didn't have much luggage, so he spread the bed and put a few personal supplies in place, and then cleaned it up briefly to erase the traces left by the previous owner of the room.
After that, I lay on the bed and began to think about which dishes I would take out.
First of all, the Sichuan cuisine I have mastered now is definitely not good. Although there are already chili peppers, I still try to make some flavors that are not so spicy, and it is best to look more advanced.
Not long after, McGrady's assistant returned to Chen Nian's room.
Then he took out a pen from his arms, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Mr. Chen, you can write the dishes you are good at on this piece of paper now, without too many, just about five dishes."
Chen Nian nodded, picked up the pen from the table and slowly twisted the lid and began to write the name of the dish on the paper.
The first dish is naturally the squirrel mandarin that I made earlier.
The second dish was aged and written on the rouge goose jerky.
The third dish is fresh fish and sheep.
On the one hand, there are many fish on the sea and there are also some expensive fish on the boat. Some of these fish are more suitable for stewing, and the taste is particularly delicious when stewing.
Of course, Chen Nian himself has not been exposed to much, so he has not had a special understanding of this aspect. Even if he knows it, he has only seen videos of some bloggers who often make seafood before.
But every time Chen Nian looked at it, he went off the wrong way, because sometimes such seafood bloggers would push some videos of the sea rushing down, so every time Chen Nian watched it, he would go to watch the sea rushing down.
Those videos of the sea are actually similar every day, and they are all the things that are caught, but for some reason, they seem to be particularly addictive.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Nian wrote down white-robed shrimps and Wensi tofu on paper.
There are exactly five.
McGrady has been with Mr. Huo for so long, and naturally he has seen some worldly things and knows a lot about the dishes in this country. When he saw the dishes written by Chen Nian, he couldn't help but look surprised.
These dishes are not home-cooked, and they are very good even if placed on the boat.
But there are four soups, some of which have only been heard of, and they know them.
But I have never heard of the rouge goose jelly in it.
"Master Chen, this rouge goose jerky..." After seeing the dishes written by Chen Nian, McGrady couldn't help but change her name. He had also seen Aged Cooking cooking beside Mr. Huo before, and Aged Cooking cooking was indeed good at that time.
Now I have written so many dishes that look very high-end, and I believe that the aged ones will not be lost without them. In other words, these dishes may really be made.
But if these dishes can be as good as squirrel mandarin fish, then even aged ones will be enough to go to the third floor restaurant, so he naturally changed his name.
"This dish is eaten hot and cold. If you want to sort it, you can put it in the cold dish. And if you want to follow the order of serving in Western food, this dish should be a type of appetizer." Chen Nian explained.
While talking, Chen Nian wrote (front, cool) notes on the back of the rouge goose jerk.
"There is also this fresh fish and sheep dish, which can be regarded as both a soup dish and a normal red gum dish."
Chen Nian explained it again.
"Okay, then I understand. I have to go back and take a look at these dishes for Mr. Huo. However, Master Chen, if you really plan to make these dishes, I feel that Mr. Huo may ask you to make them in advance to see how they taste."
"No problem." Chen Nian had no objection to this.
You can't just add whatever dishes you wrote to the menu directly. If there are really customers who order them, and you can take them out and cook them all the way, it will be a joke.
For this industry, a bad review is worth dozens of positive reviews.
When McGrady's assistant came to the door of the room where Mr. Huo was with the menu written by the old one, he knocked on the door.
Soon the door was opened and a man in pajamas appeared at the door.
"Mr. Huo, they have all been placed, but Chen Nian has written a few dishes. I feel that it is better to check it out with you." McGrady said and handed over the paper.
Mr. Huo took the paper and opened the door: "Then come in and sit down first."
Then the two entered the room, Mr. Huo held the paper, and when he saw the second dish, he fell into deep thought: "Is this... the dish in the Red Mansion?"
McGrady shook her head: "I don't know, but I asked at that time, and he said it was a hot and cold dish that could be placed in the category of cold dishes, and it could also be used as an appetizer."
Mr. Huo showed an interesting look: "Wait until you call him over, I want to see him again. Except for this dish of rouge goose, the other dishes are also some. Even though he made squirrel mandarin fish earlier, I have never tasted the other dishes, so I dare not determine whether they are qualified at the moment."
He probably took a look at other dishes, including fresh fish and sheep, white-robed shrimps and Wensi tofu, and he was a little confused now. Just looking at these things, he couldn't tell whether the old man would make them. After all, let alone eating them in his mouth, he had never seen them with his own eyes.
So he had to call Chen Nian over and ask.
But as soon as McGrady arrived at the door, Mr. Huo suddenly thought of something: "Forget it, you ask him to go directly to the kitchen on the third floor, and I want him to do all of these in person."
McGrady showed surprise on her face, but at the end she said, "Okay."
Mr. Huo has such a personality and is decisive in his work.
Fortunately, he had guessed that Mr. Huo would do this, so he told Chen Nian in advance.
Soon he brought the prepared aged straight into the kitchen on the third floor, which also provides some late-night snacks for guests to enjoy at night.
The chef in charge of late-night snacks here was a little surprised to see Mr. Huo bringing a blue-collar chef over there, and he seemed to be cooking here, but he didn't ask much.
Then it took a total of three or four hours to make all these dishes.
After all, we have to start from scratch and all have to be completed independently. Naturally, we need to spend more time during this period. Moreover, while cooking, Aged will also tell Master Huo, who is standing by, why do you do this? What's the use of doing this...
Chen Nian completely regarded this as an interview.
Overall, Mr. Huo is also quite satisfied with this.
"Are you good at Huaiyang cuisine?"
"Absolutely, I know a little bit more about Huaiyang cuisine, and in addition, I also know Cantonese cuisine and Shandong cuisine." Chen Nian said.
"Well, you're qualified. Then you'll make these dishes and do it well. Now you're just here on the boat. Grind your qualifications first. When the time is almost over, you can try to see if you can come here."
This is considered to be a recognition of aged cooking skills.
"Okay, Mr. Huo, I will work hard." Chen Nian nodded and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Well, go back and have a rest. You don't have to go in the morning. I'll ask them to make a new menu. You start working in the afternoon and help the chef are four people under the chef before."
At this time, the chef who made breakfast on the boat had arrived and was ready to start work.
Mr. Huo brought them over and finished all the dishes made by Aged.
After all, if you only let the two of them eat these dishes made by Chen Nian, you will definitely have to leave them.
After tasting the chefs, their eyes were lit up. Looking at Chen Nian, they thought that this was the master or the newly accepted apprentice Mr. Huo found.
As a result, I found out that this was a novice who just got on the boat and had been working as a chef a few days ago. I was very lucky yesterday and I encountered a blue-collar chef who did something unclean and was discovered, so I passed the assessment and prepared to take up the job.
"Such a good seedling will definitely come to the third floor at that time."
The chefs talked one by one.
Chen Nian couldn't show any expression in front of so many people, so he could only lower his head a little shyly.
After that, he went back to the room to sleep, and stayed up all night until the old age was supported by a thought.
Therefore, this sleep of Chen Nian slept until after lunch before getting up.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.
"Chan, I'm Tony. After I finished my work in the morning, I went to find you. But they said you had a rest for the whole morning, so I brought you some food."
Chen Nian rolled down from the bed, put on his clothes, and then went to the door to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Tonio's enthusiastic face.
And he was holding a lunch box in his hand.
"Have you eaten?" Chen Nian asked.
"I have eaten it. I have to say that the food above is indeed much better than before. Not only does it taste good, but the ingredients are very good," Tonio said proudly.
