Chapter 1075 The Reviewer Arrives
After Xia Jing went to the dressing room to change into chef clothes, she went to the kitchen. The chefs and helpers in the kitchen were all dressed up to greet Xia Jing.
Xia Jing is not only good at cooking, good looking, but also well paid, so these middle-aged and strong male chefs value this job very much, and they are very respectful to Xia Jing.
Xia Jing is the boss. Only important guests or some unique secret dishes will be cooked by her herself. Most of the meals ordered by other diners are cooked by these chefs, so they are the mainstay of Xiaoxia Restaurant, but Xia Jing Jing passed down some of their Xia family's unique cooking skills to ensure a uniform and delicious taste.
"Everyone cheer up today. The Michelin judges are coming to taste the food. We must not lose face for our Xiaoxia restaurant." Xia Jing was admonishing the chefs.
"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Xia, we'll make the gringo eat up all over the place."
A northern chef's humorous remarks caused a burst of laughter.
"Well, the western food team will work extra hard today. I guess he will focus on western food." Xia Jing said.
"Mr. Xia, don't worry, if my old You loses the chain, you will deduct half a month's salary." Master You, who specializes in western food, made a bold statement.
Colleagues around were all surprised. They didn't expect Lao You to issue such a ruthless military order. Their monthly salary was [-] yuan.
"Well, everyone, work together today to try to get a Michelin three-star rating for our boss Chen." Xia Jing said.
"Mr. Xia, look at it, that is, Michelin only has three stars. If there are four and five stars, we can also judge it!" A chef laughed.
It's no wonder they are so confident. Xia Jing spent a lot of money to hire these chefs. They were all chefs in some big hotels before, with superb cooking skills and full of confidence.
"It's good to have confidence, but don't be arrogant or complacent. Let me see your performance!"
Xia Jing encouraged her and started working.
She first checked some of the ingredients she marinated and processed yesterday, and saw that the hair was in good condition, so she didn't delay using it.
Next, she called the fruit and vegetable supplier and asked them to send more fresh western food ingredients today, so that the foreign judges could have a good time eating.
After checking the back kitchen, Xia Jing went to the front desk to hold a meeting and training for the waiters. After all, service is also an important indicator in the selection of Michelin restaurants. Always smiling is the most basic. Behave standard and polite, even jewelry And hairstyle, we must try to be unified, not sloppy at all.
After doing all this, Xia Jing was in the restaurant, waiting for the Michelin reviewer to come.
In the evening, Chen Hao also wore a neat suit and came to Xiaoxia restaurant to cheer for Xia Jing.
He sat in a small box, got some fruit snacks and waited. He also wanted to see how the judges judged, which would be a long experience.
"Boss, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
When Xia Jing saw Chen Hao coming, she stuck to his side and waited on him, more active and enthusiastic than the personal maids in the past.
"You don't need to call me, you go and do your work, and the foreigner will come in half an hour." Chen Hao said.
He has already received a call from Wen Hongli, and he will personally accompany the judges to the scene.
Chen Hao couldn't help but feel a little strange. He seemed to have read some articles on public accounts. This kind of reviewers used unannounced visits to visit restaurants, so that they could taste the most authentic food and service of a restaurant. But Chen Hao didn't understand this business. , maybe the public account is just messing around.
After half an hour, a waiter came to report that Wen Hongli, the vice president of the International Gastronomy Association, had arrived with a foreign old man.
Chen Hao nodded, and asked the waiter to do the work. Now that Xia Jing is the owner of the restaurant, he can just let her serve. He will observe the people who come through the surveillance in the restaurant.
Wen Hongli is very familiar with Chen Hao. He came here before and was educated by the food of Xiaoxia Restaurant. Since then, he has become a volunteer propagandist of the restaurant. He has written many recommended articles in various media, which has played a certain role in the promotion of the restaurant.
Next to Wen Hongli is an old foreign man in a suit. He looks to be in his 50s and has blond hair, which is similar to Wang Wang's hairstyle. However, he has a haggard face, a thin figure and no smile on his face. Such people are usually not easy to deal with.
Xia Jing is currently receiving two guests.
"Mr. John, hello President Wen." Xia Jing greeted him in a chef uniform.
"Boss Xia is getting more and more beautiful." Wen Hongli said with a smile.
"President Wen is polite." Xia Jing responded with a smile.
"Mr. John, please go upstairs, we have prepared an original holographic box for you." Xia Jing invited politely.
John shook his head, and said in English: "I don't need a box, I want to eat in the most popular hall, and the level of other guests' dishes is also one of my evaluation criteria."
Xia Jing is good at cooking, but that doesn't mean she is good at foreign languages. She failed to pass CET-4 when she was in college, so she had trouble understanding what the foreigner was saying.
"Hurry up and find someone who can speak English!" Xia Jing hurriedly asked her staff to go down to find a translator.
John said immediately: "The restaurant can't communicate in three languages. This is a deduction item."
"Depend on!"
Xia Jing cursed in her heart. Today was a bad start. Points were deducted before the food was served. This old foreign man was too strict.
Seeing this situation, Chen Hao didn't want Xia Jing to be in such a state of distress, so he appeared in person. He came to the hall and talked to John in fluent English: "Hello, Mr. John, we respect your opinion, and we will arrange a seat for you immediately. Upstairs please."
Chen Hao winked at Xia Jing, leaving the place to him and letting her go to the kitchen to prepare.
Xia Jing gestured to Chen Hao, "This old man is not easy to deal with", and then went to the back kitchen.
John was noncommittal, so he followed Chen Hao to the fifth floor. This is the western food area. Some of the guests who ate here were all dressed in formal attire, eating steak and tasting red wine.
"You two, just order whatever you want to taste." Chen Hao acted as a temporary translator.
It's just that he has good looks, and he has millions of dollars in clothes, which is much more luxurious than the two diners, which doesn't fit the waiter's temperament.
"President Chen, you're being polite. This time, Mr. John is the host and guest, so I'm free to just order our signature dishes." Wen Hongli said politely.
John was not polite here, and ordered a long list of dish names in English, basically Chen Hao had never heard of them, so he recorded them in English, and after a while, he would discuss with Xia Jing later and find out what he had done. What did you order?
"Okay, wait a moment, the food will be ready in a while." Chen Hao said it in both Chinese and English, and went to the back kitchen with the waiter who took the menu.
"Mr. Chen, wait a moment!"
Wen Hongli suddenly caught up and signaled that he wanted to talk to Chen Hao in private about something.
Chen Hao nodded, and asked the waiter to deliver the dishes, and he and Wen Hongli went to talk in the empty box.
