Chapter 101: Wage deduction for latecomers and early leavers
"Boss Sun, I have no problem eating this crispy chicken. It's fragrant and crispy, so delicious!"
Fan Jinwu put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.
Although he is now the manager of Fengzeyuan, he still understands the principle of customer first.
At the same time, I was also confused. There was obviously nothing wrong with the crispy chicken. Even I hadn't eaten such delicious chicken for a long time.
"Haha, this is also called fragrance?"
Boss Sun glanced at Fan Jinwu indifferently and said disdainfully,
"The crispy chicken I ate last time was so delicious that I couldn't help but eat a second bite. Your chicken is no different from a chicken that has been left out for a few days. It's simply disgusting!"
Fan Jinwu, "..."
Boss Sun waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't dare to invite people to dinner at Fengze Garden anymore. The quality is too unstable!"
Having said that, he stood up, paid and left.
No matter how many nice things Fan Jinwu said, he ignored them.
"Hey...there's obviously no problem..."
Fan Jinwu was puzzled. The food was much better than that in other restaurants, so why didn't it suit Boss Sun's taste?
Maybe there’s something wrong with Boss Sun’s taste?
Fan Jinwu thought so and didn't take it too seriously.
However, coincidentally, similar situations occurred at several tables at noon today, making Fan Jinwu very unhappy.
You have to know that everyone who comes to Fengze Garden to eat is either rich or noble, and there are even many leaders from various departments.
These people are all good at eating.
If Fengzeyuan's reputation is ruined, who will come to eat there in the future?
He had only been in Fengze Garden for a few days and something like this had already happened. How could he explain this to the director?
Thinking of this, Fan Jinwu came to the kitchen.
If the food is not to your liking, then naturally you have to look for the chef's problem.
"Masters, what's going on? Many customers today think the food is not to their liking. Is there something wrong here?"
Fan Jinwu came to the kitchen and held him accountable directly.
"Manager Fan, look at what you're saying. We are all experienced chefs with many years of experience. We perform very stably every day. There's nothing wrong with that!"
"That's right, Manager Fan, you can't slander good people out of thin air. We have always been working hard!"
When the chefs who were working heard this, they immediately stopped working.
They were all senior chefs that Luan Xuetang had hired from the Eighth Building at high prices. Nowadays, people who make a living by their skills are all proud. How could they be questioned by a layman like the young Fan Jinwu?
Someone even gave Fan Jinwu some spicy and sour potato shreds on the spot and let him taste it.
"Manager Fan, is there anything wrong with what I did?"
Master Zhao blinked and looked at Fan Jinwu coldly.
Fan Jinwu smacked his lips. The hot and sour potato shreds were sour and delicious, crispy and refreshing. After finishing it, he wanted to eat another bite. There was indeed nothing wrong with it.
But customers wouldn’t complain about the food for no reason. What went wrong?
"no problem."
Fan Jinwu had no choice but to admit it awkwardly. He looked around the kitchen and suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Where's Master He?"
"Oh, the Lou family is holding a family dinner today, and Master He has been invited to cook for them!"
Master Zhao said calmly.
"What? Doing private work during work hours? This is outrageous!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Jinwu, who was worried about not finding a reason to get angry, suddenly turned pale.
He naturally knew that He Daqing was the best chef in the entire Fengze Garden. So many guests today complained about the taste of the food. Maybe it was because other chefs could not cook to He Daqing's taste!
So, when He Daqing finished delivering warmth to Tan Lingrou and rode his bicycle back to Fengze Garden, he was met with Fan Jinwu's dark face as soon as he entered the door.
"He Daqing, you were not in the kitchen during work, what were you doing?"
Fan Jinwu frowned and asked knowingly.
"I went to Lou's house to cook!"
He Daqing blinked, a little confused.
I wondered what was wrong with Xiao Fan today. Why was he angry with me for no reason?
"He Daqing!"
Fan Jinwu said angrily,
"Fengze Garden is different now than it was in the past. We are a public-private partnership. You are receiving a salary from Fengze Garden, but you are doing private work during work hours. Don't you think this is too much?"
He Daqing, "..."
Good fellow, a new official starts with three things to do, and this time he is setting fire to himself.
I won't offend others unless they offend me. He Daqing doesn't want to cause trouble, but he is not afraid of it either.
He Daqing looked at Fan Jinwu and said calmly,
"Manager Fan, you don't understand this. Before the opening of the Common People's Canteen, our Fengze Garden's customers were all well-known figures in the city. The big shots were rich, but they were also busy on weekdays. It was common for them to host family dinners at home and invite guests."
He Daqing said, "People invite our Fengze Garden chefs to prepare family banquets. This is a recognition of our cooking skills and the Fengze Garden brand. Not only me, but almost all of our Fengze Garden chefs have been invited!"
After the words fell, Master Zhao and others nodded.
"Yes, this is the old rule of our Fengze Garden."
"Yes, the boss often takes care of our Fengze Garden business. There's nothing wrong with us going to his house to cook for him!"
In addition to cooking at Fengze Garden on weekdays, the chefs present also take on private work to help prepare family banquets or wedding banquets to earn some extra money.
No matter what era it is, who would complain about having too little money?
Of course, people often help each other in the kitchen work, so it doesn’t delay anything anyway.
But right now, Fan Jinwu's intention is obviously not to let them go out to work, which is to cut off their source of income. Naturally, they have to stand with He Daqing.
As expected, Fan Jinwu didn't listen to He Daqing's words at all.
"I don't care what it was like before!"
Fan Jinwu said with a cold face,
"From today on, we will establish a rule that all employees of Fengze Garden are not allowed to be late or leave early during work hours. Otherwise, they will be fined one day's salary!"
"As for what you do after get off work, I don't care!"
Having said that, he turned around and left the kitchen, leaving a group of chefs looking at each other in bewilderment.
"I bother!"
Master Zhao even spat towards the door.
"The villain succeeds!"
When Fan Jinwu first came to Fengze Garden, they were very happy, thinking that they would be able to turn the tables. But after a few days of observation, they found that Fan Jinwu's words were more beautiful than his words, but in fact he knew nothing, and was even more critical of them. Now he had even cut off their source of income, so naturally no one liked Fan Jinwu.
"Master He, what do you think we should do about this?"
In addition to being angry, a group of chefs also gathered around He Daqing and looked at him inquiringly.
In the entire Fengze Garden, the chef who is most recognized is He Daqing.
