Dare to cook

Chapter 305 Hua Restaurant - Opening (Second Update)
The signboard of Hua Restaurant was put up again.

The boss of Huaxia Supermarket also delivered the various commodities that Yao Yu purchased yesterday as agreed.

The owner of the supermarket, surnamed Lin, saw several partners busy cleaning after he delivered the goods, so he offered to help and moved all the things on the car into the back kitchen by category.

Jiang Yuqi worked as a tea girl and accountant at the same time, after she settled the payment with the supermarket owner.

The original owner of the restaurant also came to the store with a glass changer.

The original owner of the restaurant is a middle-aged uncle in his 40s, who looks a lot like Tim Reese in "The Pianist on the Sea".

But actually his name is Mark Stoney →_→.

After Uncle Tony brought the workers over, he greeted several restaurant partners, and then stood aside, allowing the glass workers to bargain with Yao Yu and the others.

um, yes.

During the recording of the Chinese restaurant, no matter what was broken or broken in the restaurant, Tony would help find someone to fix it.

But Yao Yu and the others had to pay for the cost of the replacement.

The wallets of Yao Yu's group had already been handed over to the staff of the program team.

The amount they can control now is only the start-up capital of [-] from the restaurant.

After yesterday's purchase of pots, pans, pans and ingredients, the three thousand start-up capital was reduced to less than one thousand nineteen.

But now, the restaurant has not yet opened, and they have to pay more than 400 euros for replacing the window glass.

"Why is it so expensive to replace a piece of glass? How many vegetables do we have to sell to earn back!" Feng Ziyi was shocked when the door and window worker reported the price.

More than 400 euros, converted into soft sister coins, it is 3000 yuan!
Is this new glass inlaid with gold?

Lu Chenyu had lived in Europe for several years, so he was not too surprised to hear this offer.

In Europe, the cost of various door-to-door installations is not cheap.

In particular, the installation cost of the air conditioner is ridiculously high.

The price of an air conditioner may only be a few hundred euros in Europe, but its installation cost is often more expensive than the air conditioner itself.

Moreover, if you are a resident who lives above the sixth floor and wants to install an air conditioner, you may have to pay a sky-high installation fee of [-] to [-] euros...

Lu Chenyu had experience dealing with European installation workers before.

After some tough bargaining, Lu Chenyu could only lower the price to 380 Euros.

No matter how low it is, people will stop doing it.

The glass to be replaced is 0.62m x 1.5m.

After the installer measured the size, he said he would bring the glass over and install it within an hour.

"It hasn't opened yet, and another small sum of money has been spent." Jiang Yuqi looked at the remaining start-up funds, feeling a little distressed.

"We have to work hard, we must earn back the money we spent," Feng Ziyi said.

Meng Xiao also smiled and said:
"This is necessary. If there is no turnover and wages cannot be paid, everyone can only drink sea breeze."

Several partners quickly acted.

Jiang Yuqi went to find a printing shop by bicycle, and was going to print out photos of the dishes Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu tried out at the B&B last night.

Last night, after discussion, Yao Yu and the others decided to make today: cold preserved eggs, braised duck, pea glutinous rice, West Lake beef soup, ants climbing trees, fish-flavored eggplant stew, hibiscus shrimp and other dishes.

Among them, glutinous rice with peas and ants climbing trees can be recommended as staple foods.

Braised duck, West Lake beef soup, hibiscus shrimp, etc. are not complicated to make, saving time and effort.

As for dessert, what everyone ordered was freshly squeezed orange juice, red bean and barley soup, and tangerine peel Poria tea.

Among them, Jiang Yuqi is in charge of the freshly squeezed juice, and Lu Chenyu will be in charge of the other two.

Today is the first day of opening, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu didn't intend to prepare difficult dishes as soon as they came up.

Sell ​​some home-cooked dishes first to explore the food preferences of the locals, which also provides a buffer period for Feng Ziyi and others to adapt to working in restaurants.

When the restaurant team has a tacit understanding of cooperation, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu will start to introduce some high-end Chinese dishes one after another.

Under Yao Yu's guidance, Feng Ziyi began to skillfully peel shrimps.

Meng Xiao was assigned chopping board work, responsible for chopping salted meat, salted fish, duck, and beef.

Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu naturally took on a lot of food preparation work, and began to prepare for the business at noon.

At 09:30 in the morning, the installers installed the glass.

At the same time, Jiang Yuqi, who had traveled more than half of the town, also returned to the restaurant by bicycle.

She brought back dozens of printed pictures of the dishes.

At this time, Lu Chenyu also came out from the back kitchen to help.

The two beautiful young ladies pasted the photos of the dishes on the prepared blank leather notebook together.

Then, they wrote the names and prices of the dishes in English and Italian next to the pictures.

In addition, Lu Chenyu took a small blackboard and wrote down the two dishes that the "shop manager recommends" today - sticky rice with peas and braised duck.

……

Time passed in a minute and a second.

Glutinous rice, red bean soup, tangerine peel Poria tea, these have all been prepared in advance.

As long as the guests come, they can be served immediately.

As the meal time approached, both Feng Ziyi and Meng Xiao walked out of the restaurant to solicit customers.

Jiang Yuqi couldn't understand the cash register system in Italian, and was getting familiar with the cash register under the guidance of Lu Chenyu.

In the back kitchen, only Yao Yu was left to process the ingredients in an orderly manner.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the guests to come to the door.

however……

Until around 12:30, no one came in.

The restaurant was quite deserted.

"How could this be? There aren't any guests?" Yao Yu, who was holding back his energy and trying to exert his prehistoric power, was very depressed.

He couldn't help but walked out of the back kitchen, Lu Chenyu and Jiang Yuqi saw him coming out, and they smiled helplessly.

"Where are the guests? Didn't any of them come in?" Yao Yu asked.

Lu Chenyu said:

"People in Amalfi seem to like to make reservations."

"I just chatted with the owner of the small shop next door. He said that if we don't have popularity and we don't have a hotline for ordering food, locals are unlikely to walk into a new restaurant casually."

"Wow, why is this..." Yao Yu said with a headache, "What about Feng Ziyi and Brother Meng?"

Jiang Yuqi said: "In order to attract customers, they have already gone to the bus parking lot below to attract tourists."

"No, no, this won't work, the efficiency is too low." Yao Yu said:
"Call them back quickly."

"Chen Yu, find a blackboard and write in English and Italian 'Chinese famous chefs are passionate about cooking, delicious Chinese food, not to be missed'!"

Jiang Yuqi was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded and said:
"Yao Yu, is this advertisement too low?"

"It's not low. Foreigners just follow the straightforward approach." Yao Yu said quickly:
"I'm going to go to the kitchen to cook some dishes now. You guys call Ziyi back quickly, and then carry a table to the intersection outside the store. If you see anyone passing by, invite them to taste it for free."

"If anyone thinks it's delicious, invite them to the store. Tell them that the store is newly opened, and there are big discounts, [-]% off for the entire store!"
