"okay."

Wang Jianye took the menu list handed over by Chen Xiaoyang.

The price of each dish and the average price are clearly written down so that you can see at a glance.

It can be seen that Chen Xiaoyang is very attentive in doing this matter.

Chen Xiaoyang has always been serious and responsible in his work. Ever since Wang Jianye accepted him as his apprentice, Wang Jianye has believed that Chen Xiaoyang is a very reliable apprentice.

When Wang Jianye’s new restaurant opens in the future, Wang Jianye will let Chen Xiaoyang be the head chef in the kitchen and take overall charge of the management.

Wang Jianye nodded with satisfaction: "Well done."

Being praised by Wang Jianye, Chen Xiaoyang felt as happy as if he had eaten honey.

Wang Jianye gave him another task, which was to count which dishes he and his fellow apprentices had mastered.

After Chen Xiaoyang left, Wang Jianye looked through the menu carefully and set the prices for each dish.

In principle, Wang Jianye sets the prices for dishes based on the average price, with an increase of about 20% to 30%.

After all, Wang Jianye’s first restaurant is going to be a high-end restaurant, so the prices will definitely be higher than usual.

Just when Wang Jianye was busy.

In the home-style restaurant opened by Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, Sha Zhu was directing his apprentice Fatty to cook.

Just like in the original novel, Sha Zhu took in an apprentice named Fatty at the steel rolling mill.

When Yan Jiecheng and his wife invited him to be the chef, Sha Zhu asked for 2500 yuan, of which 500 yuan was for his apprentice Fatty.

"Silly Zhu, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Yan Jiecheng came to the kitchen with a briefcase and found Sha Zhu. He asked Sha Zhu to move aside. The fat man who was busy cooking glanced over here.

Sha Zhu frowned: "What are you doing?"

Yan Jiecheng cleared his throat and said, "You know, our restaurant is a small business, and the chefs hired by nearby restaurants don't cost more than a thousand yuan..."

At this point, Sha Zhu immediately understood what Yan Jiecheng meant. He was going to cross the river and then destroy the bridge.

Please cook for yourself to attract customers. The restaurant business is booming now, so you want to open your own restaurant? Okay.

Sha Zhu didn't waste any words. It wasn't surprising that Yan Jiecheng and his wife would do such a thing. Sha Zhu was used to it. "Who are you going to get to replace me if you fire me? It won't be Fatty, will it?"

Sha Zhu was very smart. Recalling the Fatty's abnormal behavior in recent days, he guessed something.

Yan Jiecheng licked his lips, smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I know that the food ordered by customers in our restaurant recently is made by Fatty. You didn't do much work."

Sha Zhu sneered at the fat man who was working with his head down and said, "Okay, then stop talking nonsense. I'm leaving now."

Yan Jiecheng immediately held out his hand holding the money and said, "This is your salary for today. We are even now. It's not even a day yet. Since we are neighbors, I will give you a full day's salary."

When Yan Jiecheng invited Sha Zhu to be the cook, he agreed that the salary would be paid on a daily basis. Otherwise, Sha Zhu would not trust the couple and would not be willing to do the job.

Sha Zhu took the money from Yan Jiecheng and left leisurely.

Let's wait and see. I guarantee that within a month, Yan Jiecheng and his wife will come back to invite me again.

Sha Zhu was very confident about this. After all, it was because he knew his apprentice Fatty too well.

It seems that the level is good enough to support a restaurant, but there are many dishes that need Sha Zhu's supervision.

Moreover, only Sha Zhu knew where to get the key seasonings for some dishes, so he only bought two days' worth at a time, and he didn't mind buying more after they were used up. He was just trying to prevent Yan Jiecheng from squeezing him out and leaving only his apprentice Fatty. Sha Zhu was quite smart.

Just as Sha Zhu left the restaurant, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li immediately found the fat man.

"From now on, our restaurant depends entirely on you. I'm going to increase your salary from 500 to 800. Please don't let us down."

In response to Yu Li's words, the fat man did not swear as before, patting his chest to guarantee that there would be no problem and that his skills would definitely not let you down. Instead, he spoke with some embarrassment:

"I can cook most dishes pretty well, but there are some that Shazhu is particularly good at, and he didn't teach me. Although I have learned how to cook them over the years, they are not as authentic as his."

The fat man first let Yu Li and her husband have some basic mental preparation so that they would not blame him in the future for not telling them in advance.

Hearing the fat man's unconvincing words, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li became a little anxious.

"Now that we have fired Shazhu, you said there are some dishes you can't cook?"

"No, is there anyone like you? Aren't you just cheating people?"

The couple followed suit and gave the fat man a good training.

At this point all we can do is let Fatty study more about cooking methods and hone his skills so as not to disappoint the customers.

……

What is different from the original drama is that Sha Zhu did not have Qin Huairu's interference, and he got married and had children early and lived a happy life.

When Qin Huairu returned home from get off work and met Sha Zhu, she heard that Sha Zhu was fired from the restaurant owned by Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

"Ah? Why did they fire you? Your cooking skills are so good. Without you, how can their restaurant still be successful?"

Qin Huairu was puzzled and didn't understand why Yan Jiecheng and his wife were so short-sighted.

Having worked as a hostess in large hotels for more than 20 years, Qin Huairu is knowledgeable and has gained a wide range of knowledge.

Sha Zhu sneered disdainfully: "Sister Qin, just wait and see. I dare say that within a month, Yan Jiecheng and his wife will come to me to beg me to return to their shop to work."

Qin Huairu asked curiously: "If they really come to beg you, will you still go back?"

"It depends on their sincerity. My salary was 2000 yuan a month before. If they invite me back this time, their salary should be at least 3000 yuan."

Sha Zhu said proudly that this was his confidence in his cooking skills and his grasp of human nature.

Qin Huairu talked about the serious matter of looking for Sha Zhu: "Brother Wang's restaurant will open in a while. Brother Wang asked me to tell you that he wants to invite you to work in his restaurant. I wonder if you are willing."

"Oh? Brother Wang's restaurant is about to open?" Sha Zhu was very happy when he heard the news.

Because a long time ago, Sha Zhu told Wang Jianye that if Wang Jianye didn't dislike him, he would be willing to work with him.

Now having heard the news, Sha Zhu immediately asked Qin Huairu about the specific situation.

Qin Huairu told Sha Zhu everything she knew.

Sha Zhu was very excited after hearing this. Wang Jianye's restaurant would be open in about three months, so he would definitely go to Wang Jianye's restaurant.

"Sister Qin, do you know what kind of cuisine Brother Wang's restaurant mainly serves?"

"I heard from Brother Wang that his restaurant doesn't stick to just three cuisines, but has classic dishes from all eight cuisines. If Brother Wang wants to do something, he'll do it in its entirety."

"That's it..." (End of Chapter)
