In the 25-year-old group, Diaoyutai can only rely on two foreign players, Lin Xu and Guo Xinghai, to support its appearance in the competition with other restaurants. Without Lin Xu and Guo Xinghai, Diaoyutai would be pressed to the ground and rubbed.< /p>

Even if Guo Xinghai is added, he can reach the top four at most.

After all, in the competition that day, Zhuang Yizhou took the initiative to let go because he got Lin Ji's job, which allowed Guo Xinghai to get the third place. Otherwise, if he really produced high-quality dishes, Guo Xinghai might not be able to match him.

Lin Xu said:

"I want to open a chef school!"

Uncle Gao's hand holding the tea shook slightly, and then he smiled:

"The Culinary Association has done this before. It was vigorous at first, but soon the students ran away and dispersed, and some were still asking for refunds."

In the early years, chef schools were a major component of skilled worker training. There were similar schools almost everywhere, and relevant departments such as the Labor Bureau also encouraged the export of skilled workers.

But over the years, chefs have changed from a major project among skilled workers to a side project. Because of low wages and poor benefits, the working hours are too long. Compared with other skilled workers, not only are their employment prospects unclear, but their wages and career plans are also unclear. No advantage at all.

The only thing that can be praised by talents is maybe being able to sneak something to eat in the kitchen.

However, this is not a time of famine when food and clothing are scarce. Who would learn to be a chef just for the sake of two mouths to eat?

When people earn money, why not just spend it on food?

Lin Xu said:

"The chef school I want to run is not the kind of paid training class in the past where you just graduate and no longer have any responsibility after graduation. It is a talent transfer center for mid-to-high-end hotels in Beijing. After the students are screened, they sign an employment contract when they enter the school. As skilled workers, they can join the job directly, which saves the hotel the time and process of training."

Of all things, going from zero to one is the most difficult. Lin Xu plans to let novices complete this step in school.

Once you join the job, you will be a veteran with solid basic skills, which makes the hotel more worry-free. Employees can also skip the apprenticeship stage with almost no salary and get a good salary at work.

Uncle Gao thought for a while and said:

"It's a good idea, but how do you make those restaurants believe in the quality of the students and be willing to recruit them?"

"It's very simple, just let their people participate in the training."

This kind of training school does not require many high-end masters to lead. Each restaurant can recruit chefs to work as teachers for a period of time, which can not only earn subsidies, but also attract talents to their respective stores.

This method is not impossible, but can the school continue to operate with these alone?

Uncle Gao stopped drinking tea and ordered to his apprentice:

"Go on!"

Lin Xu continued:

"These newcomer trainings are just a small project, focusing on chef promotion training classes, head chef management training classes, head chef job development training classes and master training classes."

Uncle Gao just wanted to say why the hotel should send people to your chef school to teach as substitutes. Now after hearing this, he finally understands.

This is to catch all the kitchens in mid- to high-end restaurants.

Do you lack kitchen helpers and handymen? No problem, the chef school will recommend a group of new people to you.

Your chef level is limited? Let him come to school for a period of time to further his studies. It will definitely work.

Your head chef doesn’t understand the art of management and can only talk nonsense? We warmly welcome you to our head chef training class.

As for the executive chef classes and master classes, they are also attractive to mid-to-high-end talents in the industry because the school has the strongest teaching staff.

Uncle Gao knew without guessing that his apprentice would catch all the head chefs from Diaoyutai, Yanjing Hotel, and major high-end hotels in the capital, and drag them over to give lectures.

As for the master class, it is naturally prepared for old guys.

Think about it, a school like this covers all talents from the middle to high-end and low-level in the industry, and with the endorsement of Diaoyutai and Yanjing Hotel, it is really easy to become popular.

For newcomers, the school has provided a very clear promotion channel, and as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something.

If there are follow-up visits to the students sent out, I guess there will be many young people who want to give it a try.

After all, it’s rare to have a stable job these days. Although the income from screwing in an electronics factory is good, you can’t screw screws for the rest of your life, right?

The more Uncle Gao thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. He said:

“We can also add snack training classes, pastry training classes, food stall management classes, cake shop management classes, rice noodle and spicy soup management classes and other trainings for self-employed people later, to give young people who want to start their own businesses a chance to realize their dreams.

”

With this group of masters here, no matter what kind of training class there is, there will be no problem.

The continuous flow of trained talents into the society will not only increase the employment rate, but may also promote the entire catering industry.

For example, standardization of benefits, reform of working hours, etc.

In short, you can try all of these.

Uncle Gao said:

"We'll have a chat when Lao Qiu and the others arrive later. If possible, we'll start planning after the state banquet documentary is filmed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:

"The host plans to open a chef school, completes high-level hidden tasks [pay attention to industry development], and receives a draw for the perfect Anhui cuisine flavor once and two draws for Huizhou snacks. Do you want to draw a draw immediately?"

Today, I just talked about my ideas with Master and didn’t even have a PPT. Can I still be rewarded by cheating?

But since there are rewards, it’s fine. Anhui cuisine is relatively low-key, so it’s quite surprising that I won the lottery this time.

He was not in a hurry to draw the lottery, but followed his master towards the door - Qiu Yaozu and the others were here.

Soon, a group of old people walked in and sat around the tea table.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries, and then Uncle Gao talked about Lin Xu's idea of ​​opening a chef school, and explained the concept to everyone.

Qiu Yaozu and Guo Jichang looked at each other:

"That's a good idea. In restaurants, young guys who have just joined the job often run away before they understand the difference between a slicing knife and a bone-chopping knife. They have to be replaced and retrained. If there is a school that has done this step in advance,

It’s a good thing for the hotel and we support Xiaoxu.”

Ning Shoubang glanced at the two of them:

"You just want to support Maoyong? Let me make a statement first. After Xiaoxu's school is established, all employees in our Ning family's restaurants will be recruited from the school."

Not only is it difficult to find students in new schools, but finding employment for students is also a headache.

Ning Shoubang's statement can be regarded as strong support for Lin Xu.

After he took the lead, others also expressed that they would recruit people from the school, and said that they would send the store's middle managers to the school for further training and support Lin Xu with practical actions.

With this support, the school's early operations are considered stable.

However, Lin Xu still had to carry out detailed planning and procedures, and at the same time he had to find professionals to handle all the procedures for running a school.

All of this will take time, and Lin Xu estimates that it will be good if it can be done by autumn.

As for the location of the school, naturally it cannot be located in the urban area of ​​​​Beijing City. Firstly, the rent of the venue is too high, and secondly, the students are easily disturbed by the outside world.

Lin Xu planned to try it near the Ginkgo Garden. It was some distance away from the capital, but not too far. There were buses to the city nearby, and there was even a suburban subway line a few stops away.

In addition to convenient transportation, you can also go to the ginkgo garden, fish and feed the horses when you have nothing to do, so it won't be too depressing.

A place like this should be very suitable for setting up a chef school.

While Lin Xu was considering the location of the school, several elderly people began to talk about the upcoming state banquet filming.

There were only four state banquets during Nixon's visit to China, which was quite time-consuming. In addition, many of the dishes at that time were quite difficult, so the filming progress would not be too fast.

Qiu Yaozu said:

"I think the duck nuggets at the US thank-you banquet are more time-consuming."

He Guangchang immediately refuted:

"What's so difficult about that? It's just cutting the duck into chunks. I've done it before at your house. To say it's difficult, I think the crab-shaped mandarin fish at the Shanghai State Banquet is more difficult."

Guo Jichang smiled and shook his head:

"The presentation of the dishes is not very difficult. It's just a matter of trying more. I think the Shao-style egg buns served at the Hangzhou state banquet are relatively unpopular. Many young people today have never heard of it."

Lin Xu was really stumped by the name of the dish. He asked curiously:

"I've never heard of it, what kind of dish is this?"

Just as Guo Jichang was about to explain, Dai Jianli's uncle Dai Yuefeng suddenly put down his tea cup and stood up and said:

"Lao Guo, please stop explaining. Since Xiaoxu doesn't know, I'll just show off my skills and cook it again. We chatted for a long time and made my hands itch. I just wanted to try out Lao Gao's kitchen..."

Lin Xu:?????????

People usually feel thirsty when chatting, why do you feel itchy while chatting?

But it’s okay, I just happened to experience the legendary Shao-style egg buns.

Judging from the name, it wouldn’t be a dish similar to egg dumplings with meat stuffing wrapped in eggs, right?
