Standing on your own

Author: chocolate dipped candy

Seeing Fu Yu finally collect the money, Xiao Hechou's heart dropped completely.

Just be willing to take the money!

As long as we get the money, this cooperation will have a chance to continue.

Xiao He frowned and said with a smile: "That's right!"

Fu Yu thanked him politely: "Uncle Xiao, thank you then."

Xiao Hechou said cheerfully: "There is no need to be polite between us, Fu Yu, to tell you the truth, even though our county is not big, the competition in the catering industry is actually quite fierce, and the dishes in many restaurants are very similar.

The comparison is the chef’s skills and service attitude.”

"When I set up a stall before, I didn't feel so much pressure. Now that the store has expanded and there are enough staff, I'm starting to worry about how to stabilize the customer base and constantly attract new customers to the store."

"On this street, after the winter came last year, two stir-fry restaurants opened. They also have special dishes and the chefs are also good at it. My customer base has been gradually diverted away."

"It doesn't matter which restaurant customers eat at. There are always those same dishes. No matter how well they are made and how they taste, customers sometimes want to try something new."

"In our small county, there are too few excellent chefs. Excellent people who are capable are not willing to go back to their hometowns to develop. The consumption level here is limited, and the wages and benefits are indeed not as good as those in big cities. I was very worried before, but now

As soon as I heard that Chef Zhang had resigned, I quickly hired someone through my connections. Alas, the catering business is hard to do now."

Indeed, many regular apprentices who have graduated from chef schools are unwilling to return to work in small local restaurants.

Especially those who are talented and capable in cooking are eager to work in big restaurants in big cities to earn money.

This creates a polarized situation.

If a small restaurant cannot recruit skilled chefs, it will be useless no matter how large the hotel is or how many service staff there are.

Xiao Hechou continued: "Fu Yu, what I'm thinking is, can I have a long-term cooperation with you? When you come back to your hometown in the future, you can come over occasionally and give me advice on the cooking skills of the chef!"

"If there are any new dishes or soups in the future, can you teach us some? It doesn't have to be Chollima's specialties, but local home-cooked dishes in Bei'an. That would be great. There are only a few dishes in our county.

, counting carefully, it’s still quite monotonous, what do you think?”

Xiao Hechou unconsciously revealed all his thoughts!

The more he talked about it, the more he felt that it was indeed feasible.

After all, their small county town is far away from Bei'an, and there is no serious competition.

If Fu Yu could really teach them a few special dishes, then what else would there be to worry about in restaurant management?

As long as the store can always introduce innovative dishes and the taste of the dishes is guaranteed, are you worried that the customer source will be unstable and new customers will not come to the store?

"Of course, I definitely can't let you teach me for free. We will discuss the specific salary later when we have time." Xiao Hechou said.

If you want to learn how to cook new dishes for a long period of time, you will definitely need to pay. As for how much you will pay, it will depend on the situation at the time.

Wu Bowen also said in time: "Yes, Fu Yu, don't you have contact information? We can discuss it later."

Wu Bowen has always been happy to see this matter come to fruition.

It is a good thing that Fu Yu can teach Xiao Hechou restaurant chef how to cook new dishes, and both parties benefit.

Fu Yu can get an extra income, and Xiao Hechou Restaurant can also launch new dishes one after another.

Fu Yu hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse clearly.

Because now he has initially possessed such ability.

Moreover, just when Xiao Hechou mentioned that he wanted to cooperate for a long time, an electronic prompt sounded in Fu Yu's ears:

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering the long-term mission of NPC chef Yao Shi: do a good job in the chef industry and develop well in this industry. Completion progress (seven): Set up your own business and make your debut. Reward for completing the mission: level +1, a lucky wheel]

Although Fu Yu hasn't had time to draw the lucky wheel yet, based on the system's historical performance, the rewards this time will definitely be very generous!

The most critical point is that Fu Yu must broaden his network of contacts to have the opportunity to learn new skills.

Now he is familiar with the people at Chollima and the music restaurant. If he wants to make friends with outsiders, he still needs to wait for the opportunity.

Although the place in my hometown is small, there are many local specialties worth learning.

Just like the two chefs I met in the kitchen today, they are actually very good.

Every chef has worked for many years and will have his own insights and experience summaries on cooking.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Fu Yu to broaden his horizons, learn and accumulate.

To be honest, although there are many chefs, only a few are outstanding.

If you want to get in touch with real celebrity chefs, where do you get so many good opportunities?

Even if there are people around, they are still chefs from other big restaurants and the real owners of the restaurants.

With his status and status, how could he want to get to know Fu Yu without an introduction from a common friend.

To put it bluntly, Fu Yu still doesn't have such ability and fame.

And chefs with the same level as Liu Yunong and Yao Shi are all boss-level figures.

Fu Yu is not qualified enough!

Therefore, instead of trying to contact those big shots, the small restaurants with hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the county are actually your best choice. This place may become your brand new skill library!

Fu Yu thought about it, and maybe the county town of his hometown is the best place for him to upgrade and develop!

After all, the system's mission reward just now was very clear, requiring him to establish his own business and show off his talents.

To set up one's own business is to develop one's own network of contacts, cultivate one's own strength and influence, guide and recruit apprentices in the future, and establish one's own exclusive cooking cuisine.

In addition, if you want to show your head and feet, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You need to take your time.

But at this time, Xiao Hechou hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and began to be reasonable and emotionally play the emotional card with Fu Yu that the wealth would not go to others and that peers would support him!

After Fu Yu thought for a moment, he said: "Uncle Xiao, it's okay, but after all, my time to come back is limited, because I am actually quite busy at work in Bei'an, and we also have to negotiate on the selection of new dishes.

Communication, these issues need to be adjusted according to the actual situation here."

When Xiao Hechou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face lit up with joy!

This is agreed!

Wu Bowen is also sincerely happy for the two of them. It is a good thing to reach an agreement on mutually beneficial things!

Xiao Hechou became more and more enthusiastic after seeing his wish come true.

Originally, Fu Yu planned to go home directly with his things, but Xiao Hechou insisted on driving Fu Yu back enthusiastically.

Wu Bowen saw Fu Yu carrying large and small bags, so he also gave some advice.

Finally, it was decided that Xiao Hechou would drive and Wu Bowen would accompany him.

Fu Yu is leaving today, and Wu Bowen plans to go over and see Fu Yu off.

Fu Yu and Wu Bowen stood waiting at the door of the hotel.

Xiao Hechou went over to say hello to the waiter and the chef.

Xiao Hechou was excited and excited to be able to negotiate preliminary cooperation with Fu Yu.

When he went to the kitchen, he couldn't help but briefly talk about the matter to He Yuzhou and Zhang Chenyang.

After listening to it, the two of them were stunned on the spot!

Xiao Hechou came and went in a hurry. After explaining that he was going to send someone off, he asked the two chefs to help supervise the kitchen, then turned around and left.

The two workers heard clearly next to them, and one of them said excitedly: "Did you hear that? The boss just said that the young chef will be responsible for the innovative dish training of our store in the future!"

Another worker also gossiped: "I didn't expect the boss to actually invite him, but is this guy really that powerful?"

The other party nodded: "That's for sure, didn't you hear? Chef He just said that that person is the chef of the Chollima Restaurant, a century-old restaurant. This person should be very powerful!"

When Fu Yu was cooking before, the two workers were busy preparing dishes. Although they also paid attention to the situation at the kitchen table, the distance was far after all, and they were just handymen now and were not very good at cooking.

.

It is said that outsiders are watching the excitement. They just saw that their boss and the two chefs had an unusual attitude towards the young chef, and then they felt that the young chef's cooking skills might be really good. It was just a herd mentality.

But Zhang Chenyang and He Yuzhou are different.

I heard that the boss and Fu Yu had made an agreement that they would provide cooking guidance on the restaurant's innovative dishes on a regular basis in the future, and they both looked forward to it!

At home, after Fu Yu left, Liu Yuqing continued to eat with Fu's father and Fu's mother, and then sat happily on the sofa chatting, listening to the care and advice of the two elders.

They were leaving soon, and not only Fu's father and Fu's mother couldn't bear to leave them, but Liu Yuqing was also a little bit reluctant to leave them.

Although they only got along for three short days, Liu Yuqing felt that she got along very well with Fu's father and Fu's mother, and had already accumulated deep feelings.

Maybe people are really destined to each other. When she first met Father Fu and Mother Fu, she felt that the two elders were particularly kind and did not feel strange at all.

And Fu's father and Fu's mother didn't say anything to her. They cared about her and treated her as a family member.

This made Liu Yuqing feel very touched and very happy.

The three chatted for a while, and Fu Yu's aunt and uncle also rushed over.

They planned to drive Fu Yu and Liu Yuqing to the bus station and practice it for the two children.
