Feng Yifan returned to the restaurant from the kindergarten. It happened that the matching tables and chairs, tablecloths, ornaments, tablecloths and tableware ordered by the restaurant had been delivered.

Shi Jiahui and Catherine were taking people to conduct an inventory to make sure that the ordered items were not missing.

After Feng Yifan entered the door, he saw Catherine and the others taking inventory, while a few men seemed to be idle.

He immediately clapped his hands, called the men together and said: Okay, gentlemen, our ladies are taking inventory. Let's work together. First assemble these tables and chairs, and then place them all. Look. Let’s see how it should be placed.”

When the men heard Feng Yifan's words, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

First, we unpacked all the tables and chairs, and then everyone divided the work and started to assemble the tables and chairs.

There are 22 sets of matching tables and chairs in total.

After the inventory was completed, Feng Yifan greeted everyone to start preparing for placement.

At this time, Shi Jiahui said: If you want to arrange tables and chairs, do you want to call Ruoxi here? She is also the boss's wife, why don't you ask the boss's opinion?

Feng Yifan smiled after hearing this and said: I am the boss here, why do I need to ask the boss's wife?

Luo Yu immediately said: Of course, you are the chef and are responsible for the quality of the dishes, but the decoration in the restaurant must be approved by the landlady.

Feng Yifan was a little helpless: Am I such a miserable boss?

This sentence made everyone laugh immediately.

While laughing, everyone said in unison: Of course you have to listen to the boss lady.

Feng Yifan had no choice but to call home, and then everyone waited for Su Ruoxi to arrive.

Su Ruoxi had already taken a nap when she called Feng Yifan and asked him to remember to deliver snacks to her daughter, so she rushed over with her mother-in-law Lu Cuiling after receiving the call.

Stepping into the restaurant, everyone except Shi Jiahui, led by Catherine and Luo Yu, immediately greeted the proprietress respectfully.

Welcome boss lady.

Su Ruoxi was startled at first, then looked at everyone strangely, and finally her eyes fell on her husband's face and asked: What is going on?

Feng Yifan also looked helpless: I don't know either. Anyway, I, the boss, don't have anything to say now. Everyone has unanimously requested that the restaurant decoration should be subject to you, the landlady.

Su Ruoxi was a little strange: But, Ma Xiaolong rented this western restaurant, and didn't he let Catherine and the others run it? Why am I the boss's wife now?

Ma Xiaolong immediately said: The rent is not much, and some of our subsequent decorations were designed by the landlady yourself, right? So, Master, you must be the landlady, and we will definitely follow your arrangements and instructions.

Catherine also said: Yes, Hans, Tom and I are only in charge of the kitchen. The overall management of the restaurant is up to you, the proprietress.

Su Ruoxi smiled and looked at her husband: Is that so?

Feng Yifan smiled and said, Well, that should be the case, but the boss lady remembers to pay them wages.

Su Ruoxi immediately exclaimed: Oh, none of us have signed an employment contract.

Shi Jiahui smiled and said, Do we still need to sign any employment contract?

Su Ruoxi smiled and said, Yes, otherwise I won't pay.

Lu Cuiling gave another plan: Don't sign any employment contract, just divide the restaurant into as many shares as you want, and each person will have a part of the shares. At the end of the year, you can all share the profits for the whole year as dividends based on the number of shares. Already?

Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi thought their mother's idea was good, but it was better to ask for everyone's opinions.

But before the two of them could speak, Catherine, Hans and Tom had already agreed.

Chen Xu and Luo Yu also agreed.

Luo Yu also said with a smile: We come here mainly to study, and in the end we can get a share of stock for free. This is a profit for us.

Feng Yifan said: Since everyone agrees, then we will go back and find professionals to help split the shares of the Western restaurant, so that everyone gets a share and gets dividends at the end of the year.

Su Ruoxi added: Not only the Western restaurant, but also Su Ji.

Feng Yifan looked at his wife and said, Su Ji? Su Ji is from your family.

Su Ruoxi asked with a serious look: Then, how much do you think you are going to pay everyone for a month if they are allowed to cook in Suji?

Feng Yifan also became serious: Any amount of money is fine, but Su Ji definitely can't be divided into shares.

Shi Jiahui smiled and said: Okay, okay, as for Su Ji, we definitely can't ask for shares. After all, Su Ji is Ruoxi's family's family restaurant, and it can be regarded as ancestral property. That old plaque has It has been inherited for hundreds of years and cannot be broken up casually.

Others also agreed and said that with the shares in the western restaurant, Su Ji could get less salary.

Feng Yifan then said very seriously: Well, since I'm the one who invites everyone here, as for Su Ji's salary, we will follow the standard. First, we will compare it with that of the chef at Fu Jing House. Later, as Su Ji's reputation increases, we will also compare it. Calculate the bill according to the corresponding restaurant standards.

Shi Jiahui heard this and said: Yifan, if you do this, you will have to invest a lot of money in the early stage.

Feng Yifan was very confident and asked the senior sister: Don't you mean that everyone doesn't believe in my strength?

Such a sentence made everyone feel a little bit of awe in an instant.

By saying this, Feng Yifan has shown that he is confident that he can turn Su Kee into a top restaurant that can make Su Kee profitable in a short period of time and afford everyone's high wages.

Since the boss is so confident, everyone naturally has no objections.

Next, under the design of the proprietress Su Ruoxi, everyone quickly arranged the 22 tables.

According to Su Ruoxi's arrangement, there is a place to stand at the entrance of the restaurant, so that people can feel a sense of openness when they enter.

In terms of view, you can directly see the open kitchen inside from the door.

The dining table is near the door, and the dining tables against the wall are neatly arranged in a row into the restaurant, completely surrounding the back kitchen on three sides.

The remaining part is arranged at the front of the serving counter in the back kitchen.

Moreover, the four dining tables are not placed in alignment, but are placed at an angle, so that the interior space of the restaurant can be maximized.

Although there is no large table in the entire restaurant, if there are more guests coming together, two or even three tables can be joined together to expand the seating capacity.

Under Su Ruoxi's command, Feng Yifan and the men quickly arranged all the tables and chairs as required.

Shi Jiahui and Catherine have also finished counting other things.

Catherine said: Chef, everything is ready, we are just waiting for your order to open.

Feng Yifan smiled and asked: Are you ready? What about the ingredients?

This sentence made Catherine stunned for a moment, and then she quickly said: Oh, I forgot all the ingredients. We still need to purchase a lot of ingredients.

Feng Yifan took out the list he had made in advance.

On top of this, I have purchased all the foreign ingredients and some domestic specialty ingredients in advance. For the remaining common vegetables, you will divide them into several waves in the past few days. Go to several markets in Huaicheng and try your best. I bought everything.”

Lu Cuiling looked at it and said, Can these things really be purchased in the market in Huaicheng? How about I ask Qingsong to help me and look at it from other places and help allocate some.

Feng Yifan said: No, Mom, most of these are relatively common ingredients, which can definitely be bought in the local market. Let them purchase them, which is also a kind of exercise for them.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Lu Cuiling said nothing more.

After everything was assigned, Catherine suddenly spoke up and made a little suggestion.

Chef, I think the first appetizer of your river seafood set meal should be changed. It should not be the same appetizer as the other set meal.

Feng Yifan looked at Catherine and asked, Oh? So you have your own ideas?

Catherine then brought out a dish she had already prepared.

On a white plate, there are very small and crystal clear shrimp dumplings.

Feng Yifan was a little surprised when he saw this.

Did you do this, Catherine?

Catherine said: This was discussed with Chen Xu and Luo Yu. It is made in the form of traditional Chinese shrimp dumplings, with fresh river shrimps inside and some caviar added. We also follow your appetizers when it comes to seasoning. The dish is seasoned with salty and slightly spicy flavors.

Moreover, Chen Xu also added a special flavor to it, so we would like to ask the chef to taste it.

Feng Yifan looked at Catherine with a smile, and then looked at Chen Xu and Luo Yu.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, he picked up a small shrimp dumpling.

The dumpling skin is very thin and translucent, and you can clearly see the rich filling inside.

After Feng Yifan looked at it carefully, he opened his mouth and ate the shrimp dumplings.

When you start chewing it in your mouth, the shrimps are slightly elastic, and paired with the delicious caviar, it is really delicious, and there is a slightly sour taste in the salty and spicy taste of the pepper rings, which just balances the two flavors. .

Such a small shrimp dumpling really meets the requirements of an appetizer.

After Feng Yifan finished eating, he said seriously: Well, yes, we can use this dish to replace the previous appetizer and put it in the river seafood set meal.

Catherine, Chen Xu and Luo Yu were immediately excited after receiving such permission.

Feng Yifan then added: I didn't expect that in these few days, you guys actually developed such a new dish.

Chen Xu immediately said: Chef, we were actually inspired by your appetizer.

Luo Yu also said: Yes, your appetizer is French shortbread. Let's discuss whether we can use another Chinese snack as an appetizer?

Catherine continued: Chen Xu and Luo Yu came to me and put forward their suggestions. I thought it was really worth trying. Then we made a lot of Chinese pastries, steamed buns, dumplings, and even siomai. Finally, we I decided on this small shrimp dumpling.”

Feng Yifan smiled and said, It seems like Chen Xu did this, right?

Chen Xu said: No, I am responsible for the skin, the seasoning is from the sous chef, and the final plastic surgery was done by Luo Yu.

Catherine nodded: Yes, the three of us did it together.

Feng Yifan said: So, we need to brainstorm ideas. I hope there will be more cooperation between you in the future, so that we can make more good dishes.

Everyone also learned this and began to think about their own dishes.

Lu Cuiling took a closer look at the shrimp dumplings on the plate and couldn't help but exclaimed: Oh, this little dumpling is so delicate. I really admire your craftsmanship for being able to make such a small and exquisite dumpling. .”

Luo Yu immediately said: Aunt Lu, please try it.

When Lu Cuiling picked up one, Luo Yu shared the rest with everyone.

When everyone tasted it, everyone was amazed by the taste of these little dumplings.

The dumplings are not big, just like the ham-wrapped pastries before, but they are just bite-sized.

But the filling is packed with a very rich flavor.

First of all, it’s naturally the saltiness of the shrimp and fish roe, and then there’s the slightly spiciness of the pepper rings mixed in. The mixture of the two flavors neutralizes it, giving it a very fresh and sour taste.

After Ma Xiaolong tasted it carefully, he still couldn't help but ask: Is the sour taste at the end vinegar?

Chen Xu nodded and said, Yes, it's jealousy.

Lin Ruifeng was a little surprised: But how did you put this vinegar into the dumplings? The key is that the taste of this vinegar seems to be very special.

Chen Xu smiled and said: We actually used the skin jelly method. Zhenjiang rice vinegar was added to the boiled pork skin jelly. After cooking it for a while, it was frozen into skin jelly in the refrigerator, and then mixed into the fillings. , the dumplings steamed in this way will have this vinegary aroma inside.

Su Ruoxi was a little surprised when she heard this: Thank you for coming up with it. This idea is so amazing.

Feng Yifan smiled and said: Let me give you a suggestion. I think you should steam the dumplings first, and then garnish them with caviar when you put them on the plate. This way, the freshness of the caviar will not be lost.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Luo Yu immediately said: Yes, that's what I said before. Look, the chef agrees with my method.

Feng Yifan continued: Change the shape of the dumplings and leave an opening at the top, so that the caviar can be placed on the plate at the end.

At Feng Yifan's suggestion, Chen Xu, Luo Yu and Catherine also quickly tried.

Chen Xulai is responsible for making the skin, Catherine is responsible for seasoning the stuffing, and finally Luo Yu is responsible for kneading and shaping.

Feng Yifan gave some instructions. When kneading the dumplings, leave an opening on the top of the dumpling, so that after being placed in a steamer and steamed, it will look like a small dumpling with a blooming back.

After cooling, place the caviar in the opening on the back of the dumpling when placing it on the plate.

It just holds the caviar, making the top and bottom of the dumplings clear in black and white, which adds a bit of ink-like charm.

After looking at it, Su Ruoxi said: Well, that's good. Just like the other appetizer, it also has two colors. That one is fiery red and orange, and this one is black and white.

In this way, an innovative dish is completed and officially put on the menu of the Western restaurant.
