Chapter 1365 Chapter 16 Shortage of Ingredients
"What's wrong?" Catherine became nervous when she saw Zheng Ke's expression suddenly changed.

"Ingredients..." Zheng Ke stood up from his seat, "You wait for me here first, I will go to the kitchen."

Catherine nodded repeatedly.

Zheng Ke left the room and went straight to the kitchen door.

Everyone in the kitchen was very busy, even Xuan Hua, who just came back, took a kitchen knife and quickly sliced ​​the meat into thin slices, while Xuan Li was hunched over, probably loading a plate.

Zheng Ke waited patiently until Xuan Li put the plate on the window and asked the waiter to take away the dishes before knocking heavily on the door frame a few times.

Xuan Li turned around and saw Zheng Ke with a serious look on his face, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Sister Li, can you come out first?" Zheng Ke asked.

Xuan Li didn't know why, but seeing Zheng Ke's anxious expression, he knew there must be something urgent, so he communicated with Li Xiaya next to him, asked her to pay attention to the kitchen, and then walked out.

"What's the matter? So anxious." Xuanli asked doubtfully.

"Ingredients...are there enough ingredients?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Certainly enough, I checked yesterday."

As the chef, Xuan Li must pay attention to the reserve of ingredients, otherwise, if the ingredients are insufficient, it will affect the normal serving.

"Where's the chicken? I remember you used Jixing **? After this week, how many chickens are left from the 150 chickens that were supposed to arrive earlier?" Zheng Ke asked.

"I saw that there were still thirty chickens until yesterday, and today I only made a dozen Jixing chickens." Xuan Li speculated.

"Can you confirm again? By the way, also count other ingredients." Zheng Ke reminded.

"Did you notice something?" Xuan Li looked at Zheng Ke suspiciously. In her impression, he was rarely so cautious.

"I think that many diners are different from usual. If I'm not wrong, there will definitely be an executive officer coming today, so you must be careful not to be caught, otherwise, all previous efforts may be wasted." Zheng Ke guessed.

"I know. It's just that I don't have a clue now." Xuan Li frowned.

She also felt a little strange in the past two days. The sudden increase in the number of diners caught her by surprise.

"Check the ingredients first, and if there is anything missing, add it immediately—the quality and freshness of the ingredients are also items inspected by the executive officer."

Zheng Ke knew very well that the restaurant's business was booming, which was of course a good thing, but the number of diners in the past two days was indeed strange.

There is nothing wrong with being cautious.Even if he guesses wrong, there will be no negative consequences.If he guessed correctly but didn't tell Xuan Li, it would be troublesome if it affected Chunfangyuan's star rating.

"Okay, I'm going to check the ingredients now and I'll find you later."

Zheng Ke agreed, turned around and returned to the office again.

In fact, he was very concerned about what caused the change in passenger flow, and he even speculated whether there was a mastermind behind the scenes.But I have to say that the sudden increase in diners has indeed put Chunfang Garden in a very delicate situation.

Although the increase in customers has increased the restaurant's turnover, it has also put pressure on the restaurant's ingredients reserves.

Zheng Ke thought about it, but he had no idea.

Seeing that Zheng Ke was silent, Catherine was not in the mood to chat, and could only look at the computer screen bored.

About ten minutes later, Xuan Li hurried over.

"How is it?" Zheng Ke asked Xuan Li.

"Not very good." Xuan Li poured a glass of water and drank it down, "It is true that some of the ingredients are not enough, but I have already communicated with Xiao Yishi, and he will bring the ingredients immediately. As for the Jixing Chicken... "

Xuanli sighed, looking a little helpless, "Xiao Yoshino said that the pole star chicken will not be mature until next week at the earliest. Therefore, it is impossible to provide it to me now."

"Now, how many pole star chickens do you have?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Five. We came late in the morning. Before I went to the restaurant, ten Jiexing chickens had been sold. I didn't know this before." Xuanli frowned, "It's my fault for not noticing it in advance. These."

Zheng Ke rubbed his chin. Once the ingredients are changed, the taste of the dishes will definitely change.Moreover, Jixing chicken has an excellent taste, and it is difficult to find a substitute in Japan.

Brace chicken is better than Polestar chicken, but if you use Brace chicken, the cost will definitely go up.What's more, even if Xuanli wants to use it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a large number of Brace chickens in a short period of time.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Zheng Ke asked.

"It would be best if there are pole star chickens. If not, just find other chickens to replace them," Xuanli said.

"Brass chicken?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Yes. But it's not too easy to find, right?" Xuan Li looked serious.

"That's right." Zheng Ke thought that this is not France, so he rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Even in France, not every restaurant has access to Bresse chicken.

"Sister Xiaolin..." Catherine, who had been silent for a long time, stood up, put it close to Zheng Ke's ear, and whispered, "Isn't she in the food business now?"

"Her? By the way, why did I forget her!" Zheng Ke's brows immediately stretched out, and then frowned again, "Does she have a channel?"

"Ask me. If it doesn't work, I'll find Erina. Ask Yuanyue Group to find a few Brace chickens. Isn't it a piece of cake?"

"That's right...but for Jixing Chicken..."

If possible, it is best to choose Jixing Chicken.

"Mami should have it." Xuan Li said immediately, "I looked at the menu, and there are about eight dishes that will use Jixing Chicken. So, can you 'borrow' some from Mami for me?"

Zheng Ke has black lines all over his head.

There are only five Jixing chickens left, but eight dishes are sold...that's really amazing.

"How many do you need in total?" Zheng Ke asked.

"At least one hundred, the more the better." Xuan Li clasped his hands together, begging, "Find a way to get through this week."

Zheng Ke had no choice but to call Mami.

When Mami heard Zheng Ke's voice, she thought that the review of Chun Fang Yuan was over.However, when Zheng Ke opened his mouth, she realized that Zheng Ke had "borrowed" Jixing Chicken from her.

"How many do you want?" Mami pondered for a while before asking.

"Hmm...how many can you take out?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Hmm...wait a moment, let me take a look."

Zheng Ke then heard a series of hurried footsteps, followed by Mami's voice asking other people, because the voice from the microphone was so noisy that Zheng Ke couldn't hear the words clearly.

After about five or six minutes, Mami's answer came from the microphone.

"Hello, is Zheng Ke here?"

"Please say."

"I can probably supply 50 of them."

"Fifty?" Zheng Ke was overjoyed. If there were fifty, Ji Xing Liao would definitely be able to survive the food crisis.

"Hmm. Is it enough? Let's think of a way if it's not enough." Mami asked in a low voice.

"Enough, can you send it to Chunfang Garden quickly? Sister Li is in a hurry." Zheng Ke asked.

"Okay, I'll have someone send it to you right now."

After thanking Mami again, Zheng Ke contacted Kobayashi Gendan again and asked about Brace chicken.

Kobayashi Gendan immediately said that 10 chickens will be delivered later, and as for the remaining Bresse chickens, it may take another two days.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

The food crisis has been temporarily resolved, and I hope that the problems in Chunfang Garden can also be solved.
