Chapter 1300: Father or Stepfather (Twenty-Seven)
Throughout June, the An family was relatively harmonious.
Anne goes to work in the restaurant every day, "An Da Fook" is the chef, and she doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time, except for meals, or there are key customers to order, she usually stays in the back kitchen for a while before leaving.
After leaving the hotel, she went to the old house on the outskirts of the city and taught An Jianguo how to cook.
It's a pity that An Jianguo's talent is not high, but he may have really grown up and understood the importance of having a craft, so he is particularly able to endure hardships.
Cutting vegetables every day, stir-frying sand in an iron pot, his arms were so tired that he couldn't lift them, but he still gritted his teeth to hold on.
In a month's time, he finally cut vegetables and cut them well, and he also developed biceps brachii on his arms.
Holding an iron pot weighing more than ten pounds, it will not be as unmoving as it was at the beginning.
After entering July, Anne began to officially teach An Jianguo the dishes on the family's recipes.
After traveling through so many worlds, Anne's cooking skills are very high, and it is not an exaggeration to call herself a chef fairy.
Therefore, looking at the secret recipe of the An family with her eyes, there are still many deficiencies.
These days, in addition to teaching An Jianguo, she began to work on improving An Jia's cuisine.
She didn't make many changes, only a few minor changes to the heat and seasoning.
The improved Anjia cuisine has not lost its unique characteristics, but has become a little more fresh.
Of course, ordinary people will definitely not be able to taste it, but those gourmets can find it as soon as they eat it.
When Anne was entertaining old customers, she tried to make a dish, and those gourmets who liked to eat the signature dishes of "An Da Fook" directly called Anne and praised her with a thumbs up: "Master An, amazing, the craftsmanship has improved again!"
And what Professor Anne gave to An Jianguo was also the improved Anjia dish.
Today, Anne came out of the back kitchen again, and when she passed by the backyard, she happened to meet Director Xu in the office.
"Master An, are you done?"
Director Xu is in his forties and is one of the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
As soon as he graduated, he was assigned to this key state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital called "Hotel", which is actually a hotel.
Director Xu has a high degree of education and high emotional intelligence, and he is very popular in the office.
In just over ten years, he has achieved the position of director.
He has the same surname as Xu Yaping, and it is rare to be a fellow countryman, when he sees Xu Yaping, Director Xu will affectionately shout "eldest sister".
Aside from personal relationships, Director Xu was also very polite to their hotel's signature chef "An Dafu".
In the past, their restaurant was the only one in the provincial capital, and it didn't matter whether the cooking skills were good or not.
But now, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the policy is getting better and better, and private restaurants have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The restaurants are not all fly restaurants with only two or three tables, and there are a few large restaurants.
The decoration in the hotel is foreign, the waiters are not as good as the state-run hotels, and the prices are low...... Anyway, except for the slightly worse taste of the dishes, everything is better than the state-run hotel.
The reason why the dishes of the state-run restaurant are praised by those gourmets is mainly because of the chef "An Dafu".
Therefore, now the importance of "Ondafuku" in hotels is increasing.
Of course, for a person like Director Xu, who takes the administrative path, he doesn't care whether the efficiency of the hotel is good or not.
But Director Xu learned that some big leaders in the province, or their elders, liked An Dafu's dishes very much.
Well, that's worth his attention.
Therefore, on weekdays, Director Xu is particularly fond of "An Dafu".
No, we met in the backyard at this time, and Director Xu would not care about the fact that "An Dafu" was not in the back kitchen during working hours, but asked with a smile, "It's done".
Director Xu greeted him with a smile, and Anne naturally didn't have a black face, but replied with a smile, "Well! Director Xu is also busy?"
That's a standard greeting.
In normal times, Director Xu would nod, and then the two said goodbye to each other and left.
After all, no matter what Director Xu thinks of "An Dafu", the relationship between them is not very good, and they are more familiar colleagues.
But today, Director Xu seemed to be very interested in talking, and he first replied modestly, "Oh, Master An is really busy in the back kitchen, how can it be like me, it's just a cup of tea and a newspaper, there is really nothing to be busy with." ”
Then, Director Xu changed his words and asked, "I heard Sister Xu say that your family's Qinghua is about to take the college entrance examination?"
Anne's heart moved, but there was no expression on her face, and she responded, "Yes, this kid usually studies well, and recently, he has been studying hard." Alas, every day until two or three o'clock in the night, I feel distressed to see it. ”
Speaking of this, Anne seemed to think of something, and said busily, "I remember that Director Xu is a college student, or is he from the class of '77?"
mentioned the most proud thing in his life, Director Xu couldn't help but smile a little reservedly, "Yes, I caught up with a good time, just the third year of high school, and my family was ready to let me go to the countryside, but I didn't expect to have a new policy......"
After listening to Director Xu's emotion, Anne hurriedly asked, "Oh, Xiao Xu, you are a person from the past, you are an old-timer, what experience do you have, how about teaching us a little bit of Qinghua?"
Director Xu glanced at "An Dafu", and said secretly in his heart: People outside really don't spread the word, this fat man An really treats his stepson better than his own son.
In this way, it is best.
Director Xu's nephew graduated from secondary school, and after his operation, he got people to their hotel.
My nephew usually likes to make some food, he is a little fat, and his temperament is more straightforward, and he can't get out of the office at all.
Director Xu set his sights on "An Dafu", or rather, the craftsmanship of "An Dafu".
Director Xu knows better than anyone how good "An Dafu" is, and she also knows that with her skills, if she leaves the hotel and opens a restaurant by herself, she will immediately become popular in the provincial capital and make a lot of money.
With such a good craft, as long as his nephew learns thirty percent, it is enough for him to eat for a lifetime!
That's right, Director Xu deliberately revealed to Xu Yaping about his nephew, not all for the purpose of changing positions, but because he took a fancy to the craftsmanship of "An Dafu".
Director Xu thought, since "An Dafu" feels so sorry for his stepson, if he solves the problem of his stepson's establishment for him, then Master An will definitely remember his favor.
When the time comes, he will "re-hire" and continue to leave Master An in the back kitchen, which can not only ensure the normal operation of the hotel, but also allow his nephew to learn from Master An closely.
"Rehiring" or something, in fact, is also a big favor.
After all, in this era, although there are cases of "rehiring", most of them are old masters and experts whose skills are irreplaceable.
And "An Dafu", no matter how good and powerful he is, is just a cook, and he has not yet reached such an importance!
