"I thought you were going to ridicule that uncle..." When Liu Huaxing changed his clothes, Yang Xiaoxiao muttered while holding his waist from behind. Liu Huaxing looked at her and curiously said, "What? Your tone of voice. Sounds like a disappointment? You want me to mock him?"
"Because he was not very arrogant before? The result was not lost to my star." Yang Xiaoxiao hummed.
"That might be good." Liu Huaxing replied with a smile.
However, when I feel refreshed, I still have to bear the consequences.Even Chen Jiandong has no face to stay here after being mocked in such a situation, and the restaurant is Yang Chengzhi's painstaking effort, and Liu Huaxing must not leave it alone.
So if Chen Jiandong is driven away, it means that Liu Huaxing will have to stay here to replace him.Of course, this may be a good thing from a long-term perspective. Liu Huaxing can carry forward this restaurant with his cooking skills and concepts, but it also means that he will be trapped in this restaurant for the rest of his life to pay off his debts.
He may feel that this is not bad in a few decades, but now he has not made up his mind to bet on his life in a restaurant, so it is better not to make that kind of reckless behavior.
Speaking of this, Liu Huaxing glanced at Yang Xiaoxiao. At this moment, the little girl also changed into a chef's uniform. It seemed that her usual charm was different. The pure white chef's uniform gave her a pure and clean taste.Liu Huaxing smiled and touched her little head: "What's the matter? Do you want me to fall out with that chef?"
"That's not... I'm just afraid you feel wronged." Yang Xiaoxiao muttered with her lips pouted.
"No." Liu Huaxing smiled, leaned over and kissed her tender cheek, "Don't worry about me."
"Um..." Yang Xiaoxiao snorted, following him like a little sparrow, "What should we do?"
"Wait for your father's orders?" Liu Huaxing replied with a smile, "He will explain to us, don't worry."
Of course, Liu Huaxing came to this restaurant for his own purpose.As a traditional restaurant, Late Rice has no take-out mechanism, which will make it more and more difficult to compete with other restaurants in the future.And the dishes in this store are really not suitable for takeaway. After all, many traditional Chinese dishes are not suitable for long-distance transportation in small takeaway boxes.
However, the chef suffered a stroke and the successor quit one after another, which caused the store to be hit repeatedly. The signature dishes lost their characteristics and they were hit by the food delivery industry. Finally, they closed down.But this time, Liu Huaxing helped them to keep their signature dishes, at least to keep the reputation of the store from becoming lonely, but this is not enough.
Now this restaurant can continue to survive, but it must be better if it can exist for a long time. This is the purpose of Liu Huaxing's work here for Yang Chengzhi: He wants some of the specialties in the store to occupy the takeaway market.
A dish can be delivered as a takeaway. The first is to have a low price. The order of takeaway is usually for a meal, not for a luxurious meal.
The second is to facilitate the delivery, and it is not easy to overturn or spill during transportation.
The sauerkraut fish in this store is more than 90, and it is a big pot of soup. Even if the portion is worth the price, it is not suitable for takeaway.However, sauerkraut fish is the signature of this store after all, so Liu Huaxing wanted to invent a sauerkraut fish suitable for delivery. The portion is small and does not affect the taste. It is simple to make and can be delivered in a sealed box.
In fact, he was already thinking about the secrets of his signature dishes before, and the bowl of pickled fish he brought out today is his trial work, and the taste is softer.When the sauerkraut fish is cold, the fish oil on the surface will solidify, but Liu Huaxing’s dish made the fish soup less viscous because of the addition of lemon and mint leaves. The amount of fish oil is reduced and it will not solidify so fast.
In this way, it can be delivered basically, and most people can accept its spicy taste.
But not so much sauerkraut fish, it is more inclined to boiled fish, so he plans to separate this dish from the signature sauerkraut fish, first accumulate a little popularity in these two months, and slowly it will change Into another signature dish.
Of course, this new version of sauerkraut fish also has something in common with the old version, which is the tea seed oil that Liu Huaxing has learned.
The tea seed oil matches well with fish meat and the aroma of rattan pepper, so it tastes unique to this restaurant.
Now that he has proven his ability, Yang Chengzhi should allow him to try this new dish.
However, it takes a process to get a new dish on the restaurant’s menu. First, the dish must be introduced and then promoted. For example, first advertise in the store, and then launch a discount, so that the customers in the store will slowly know this. Dishes and dishes have a good response, and only then can they exist in the menu as a permanent dish.There are certain risks in doing so.
But he has this confidence. After all, if the standard is there, a three-star Michelin restaurant can be accommodated, and this restaurant is naturally no problem.However, self-confidence is useless. The key is how to make others believe in himself. Therefore, he also showed his strength through this "examination" with Chen Jiandong, so that when Yang Chengzhi helped him promote this dish, no one would object. Up.
However, there is one last person to convince, and that is the owner behind the store.
Yang Chengzhi only manages the restaurant, and Chen Jiandong manages the kitchen, but they are not the owner of the restaurant.This kind of recipes and restaurant style are all things the boss here has the final say.
"You don't need to worry about this. I told the boss that he will agree. He trusts me very much." Yang Chengzhi frowned slightly and said, Liu Huaxing asked curiously: "Oh? The boss is your friend of Uncle Are you still relatives?"
Yang Chengzhi gave him an angry look and replied, "Why are you asking so much?! Do your business!"
"Oh..." Liu Huaxing replied, but since his future father-in-law said so, he has nothing to say and went back to the kitchen to start working.Although he used to work in French restaurants, he also did it in Chinese restaurants.
The rule of this shop is that each chef is responsible for one dish on the same menu. The entire kitchen includes twelve chefs in total. The other chefs are veterans who cooperate with each other and can share all the dishes on a menu in a tacit understanding. In this way, the dishes of the guests at the same table can be basically served at the same time without waiting too long.
But Liu Huaxing naturally couldn't do it on the first day, so he was in charge of all the dishes on a menu.
And with his experience in French restaurants, it is not difficult to do this. In the previous competition, he deliberately slowed down in order to serve Chen Jiandong with the dishes, so as not to make his own dishes cold first, but now it is simple If speed is required, he can cook four dishes in the time of other people's two dishes, so he will be responsible for those with fewer dishes on the menu.
As for Yang Xiaoxiao... This girl is actually here to join in the fun as a mascot, but she also has her own job, which is to make some fresh sweet-scented osmanthus cakes as a bonus in the store.When the customer's consumption amount reaches two hundred, the store will give a few sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are from Yang Xiaoxiao's little hands.
Of course, the little girl has made osmanthus cakes many times independently, but she still likes to check him.
"Xingxing, look, how is this wave?" Yang Xiaoxiao handed him the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of him, and the smug expression seemed to urge him to cross her quickly.Seeing this, Liu Huaxing smiled: "Well, as cute as you."
"Hehe." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled happily, and bounced over to put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate to the front.As the work in the kitchen continued, and the peak dining period had arrived, Liu Huaxing became more and more incompatible with other people.
Because the level of difference is too big, the person watching this point, that is, Yang Chengzhi can see the most clearly.
In his method, not only was the efficiency terrible, but also there was no mistake. One person can wash and cut the ingredients of all the dishes on a menu at one time, then process the ingredients, prepare the sauce, and finally put it in the pot and put it out of the oven. Busy in front of three or four pots, one pot is filled with water to thicken, another pot is heated, and the other pot is simmered slowly, without affecting each other.
Liu Huaxing can handle the work of three or four people by himself. The key is that the quality is still high, and the dishes prepared are obviously more refined and delicious than other chefs.Of course, the other chefs didn't explain him, so he was free to play with the side dishes such as ground three fresh and tomato scrambled eggs. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it is not a signature dish, there are no hard requirements.
From four to seven, the three-hour peak period was busy. Other chefs thought that Liu Huaxing would be exhausted, but in fact his mentality was much better than others.Because he has long been used to this kind of intensity, for him, this is a less difficult exercise like jogging, although it does consume physical strength.
"Thanks, hard work." After the shift chef changed, Yang Chengzhi greeted him in the background, and then patted Liu Huaxing on the shoulder and Yang Xiaoxiao's head: "Okay, you two can get off work. Let's go, I will send you out."
As he walked out, Yang Chengzhi couldn't help but cursed Liu Huaxing: "You stinky boy, you are really good at cooking. The guests at the tables you are in charge of today have very high ratings, do you know? ?"
"That's normal." Liu Huaxing said with a smile, "mainly because they let me be in charge of a table of dishes."
It is precisely because he alone is responsible for a table of dishes that he can use his own concept of French cuisine to control the taste of the whole table. It is up to him to decide whether it is light or salty, and whether it is sour or sweet.If you cooperate with other people, you can't do this.
"Go ahead, even if it's only two months." Yang Chengzhi patted him on the back and said.
"What about me? What about me and me?" Yang Xiaoxiao pointed to herself unwillingly and asked. Yang Chengzhi was stunned. It seemed that only now did he remember that his daughter was also involved in the kitchen work, and quickly replied: "Not bad! That's how Osmanthus Cake is done."
"Huh..." Yang Xiaoxiao frowned dissatisfiedly and snorted, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
On the way back by car, Yang Xiaoxiao leaned on Liu Huaxing's shoulder and looked at him with a smile.
"Why are you so cute?" Liu Huaxing asked, scraping her little nose.
"Tired?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, Liu Huaxing shook his head: "How about you?"
"I just made less than a hundred sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. What's so tiring? Not tired." Yang Xiaoxiao shook her head and said cheerfully. Liu Huaxing hugged her shoulders, "That's good, but this way You can’t eat with your mother at home."
"It's okay, she explained that she will come to the restaurant to deliver food to us from the beginning of the day." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "After all, the family is here, so it's a family reunion if she comes to deliver food."
"That's it." Liu Huaxing thought for a while and nodded, then rested on Yang Xiaoxiao's little head.
Although it is very busy in the restaurant, but only three days a week, and each time only lasts three hours, Liu Huaxing feels nothing.Moreover, their work will have two days off from Monday to Friday, and there is no need to do any work. In these two days, Liu Huaxing can accompany Yang Xiaoxiao. It is also because the parents are not at home on weekdays, they can do something they love to do. .
This feeling that everything is in the plan makes him feel very good.
The next morning, Saturday, Liu Huaxing still came to the gym to take classes. Zeng Fanjun recommended him two "normal" members, so that he currently has an average of four classes a day, which means his current daily income It has reached more than a thousand.Although it is not known how long a member can continue to attend classes, the income is quite substantial for now.
In addition, after the two went home to rest in the evening, Liu Huaxing would also take advantage of the chat with Yang Xiaoxiao to write and write manuscripts. In this way, it is not a fantasy to save enough down payment to buy a house in these two months.
In the evening, two people came to the restaurant to help, and Wang Mei also came to bring them food as Yang Xiaoxiao said.
"Eat slowly." Wang Mei watched him and Yang Xiaoxiao have a meal lovingly, and smiled and persuaded.
"Can't wait any longer, the other chefs in the kitchen are still busy, we have to fill up our loopholes when we eat here." Yang Xiaoxiao frowned, and Wang Mei raised her brows suddenly: "Huh? The little girl is suddenly responsible. Up?"
"I always have!" Yang Xiaoxiao said unconvincingly. Yang Chengzhi was also eating at the side, and exhorted Liu Huaxing: "Your recipes yesterday will be approved in these two days and will be promoted. Be prepared. Don't make a mistake."
"Is it approved so soon?" Liu Huaxing asked in surprise, "Uncle, do you have anything to do with the boss?"
"Don't ask so much..." Yang Chengzhi frowned, but Wang Mei pierced his self-esteem at this time: "No, the boss here is his father-in-law."
"Puff!" Liu Huaxing vomited a few meters away on the spot: Is the home with Xiaoxiao actually a rich family!?No way!
You know that the signature of this restaurant for more than two decades and the current business are worth tens of millions, right?If this is the case, he still fights for nothing?Wouldn't it be better to eat the soft rice of his little strawberry?
However, then Wang Mei smiled and explained: "But it was not opened by one person. When the old house was demolished, the restaurant opened with a bunch of neighbors together with money. The whole restaurant is counted. In fact, one person is divided into several hundred. Ten thousand."
