Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Along the way, Chen Xi deliberately observed the surrounding environment and shops, and for the first time discovered that the prosperity here was no less prosperous than the main street in the city.

It's just that because it's close to the academy, the overall environment is closer to "quiet" and "elegant", so it doesn't feel lively. If you don't pay attention, you will think that it is very empty and lonely.

The Guo family's residence is right next to Qingshui Academy. There are residential houses on both sides of this road. Several families have discovered business opportunities and converted the houses near the street into shops, selling some clothes and snacks.

Guo Xingyuan and Qin were waiting on the roadside at this time, and Chen Xi and Chen Qi ran over quickly.

"Uncle Jinzi, I'm sorry, we're late."

"What's the matter? We both came out for a walk because we had nothing to do. You two must be tired from walking all the way. Take a rest first. Have you eaten?"

"We're not tired after we've eaten. How about I tell my uncle and I the plan to you guys first?"

"Okay, let's go into the house and talk."

Chen Xi took out the plan he wrote yesterday and handed it to Guo Yuchang. Qin also came over and the two of them read it together.

"I just walked along and found that the shops here have a unified style that is elegant and chic, so our restaurant must also be decorated in this direction. Because the space is limited, there is no way to build private rooms, but a certain degree of privacy must be guaranteed. , so I plan to separate the dining area with a screen. The choice of screen is the key. Once the screen is selected, the elegant and chic feeling will be immediately apparent."

Guo Yuchang and Qin couldn't help but nodded in agreement after listening to Chen Xi's analysis.

“In addition, the dishes in our restaurants must also be elegant and unique. They are not only required to be delicious, but also beautiful to look at and delicious.

You can't be degrading when you're doing it, and you can still remain elegant! "

Guo Yuchang burst out laughing when he heard this: "Xiao Xi, I have to say that you really grasp the minds of these students very accurately. I originally wanted to remind you!"

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows: "After all, I've seen too many of Wang Deshui's pretentious looks in the past!"

When Wang Deshui was mentioned, Guo Yuchang and Qin's expressions immediately changed.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that bastard has regretted it now! Xiao Xi, please don't be soft-hearted!"

"When our restaurant opens, we will definitely not let Wang Deshui in!"

Chen Xi chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted. You have reminded me, Zizi. When the time comes, we will write a sign in front of the door, 'Wang Deshui and dogs are not allowed'!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha! Oh my God, Xiao Xi, you are so smart! Just do it!"

"Finally, when ordering, we can make some menu signs and hang the corresponding dish names at the ordering counter for what dishes are served every day, so that guests know what is available today and what they can order. The advantage of this is We don’t need to prepare many types of ingredients every day to avoid waste.”

Guo Yuchang understood it after thinking about it for a moment, and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said happily: "Yes, I was thinking yesterday, how to avoid the problem of preparing too many ingredients but not using too much and wasting it, especially fresh ingredients such as fish and meat." , when the weather is cold, it can still be kept for one day, but what if it is too hot and cannot be kept for one day! Now, Xiaoxi, the method you mentioned is really great!"

After her husband’s explanation, Ms. Qin instantly understood

Come, I can't help but shake my head and sigh: "Our restaurant is really thanks to you, Xiaoxi, who is here to take care of it. Otherwise, your uncle and I would have had to go through so many mistakes and suffer so many losses before we could even think of this!"

Chen Xi smiled and said: "I can only think of this because our family has been doing business for a while. That's all I can think of for the time being. Let's go see how the house is designed and finish the decoration first."

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

The back kitchen of a restaurant is similar to that of a steamed stuffed bun restaurant. Chen Xi prevented the "dirty" problem in advance by separating the stove stove from the stove and digging a few holes in the wall. Warm wine in these holes.

At the same time, it also allows guests to see the food preparation in the kitchen. However, considering that the smell of fireworks cannot pollute the environment of the dining area, the fire area is specially separated and a smoke collection port and a vent are added.

The kitchen alone occupies one of the three houses, and only two rooms can be used as dining areas. When the time comes, they will be separated by screens. Each house will have an aisle, and eight small cubicles can be separated between the two houses. That’s sixteen, enough!

Yesterday, when Guo Yuchang came back, he went to find the master craftsman. Now that he had determined the area arrangement, he invited the master craftsman to come and told the master craftsman the design that he had just discussed. After confirming that the drawings were correct, he just waited for the house to be renovated.

The day passed without realizing it. After the old master left, Chen Xi said to Guo Yuchang and Qin.

"Uncle Guizi, in the first few days of the new store opening, it is estimated that there will not be too many customers. You two may be busy here, but I believe it will not take a few days for our sign to be out.

Then the number of guests will increase, and the two of you will be overwhelmed. So we need to find people in advance and conduct training.

First of all, there should be people in the kitchen who can help wash and prepare dishes, there should be people in the front room who can help take orders and pass food around, and there should also be people who are dedicated to picking up leftovers and cleaning.

As for these people, if there are people in Guizi’s family, they can hire helpers. If the manpower is not enough, I suggest using the family members of the poor students in the academy to help. In this case, those students and their families will become the most loyal customers of our restaurant. Advocates, if something happens in the future, they will definitely not stand idly by! "

Guo Yuchang and Mrs. Qin looked at each other and nodded heavily: "Xiao Xi, you really think everything through!"

"This is also the experience we have gained from opening a bun shop during this period!"

Qin took Chen Xi's hand and said, "Xiao Xi, make a list for me, and I will recruit people according to your list tomorrow, but I'm afraid I will still trouble you about the training you mentioned!"

"What's the trouble? I'll list the number of people needed right now. Just call me when you find all the people."

"Okay, it's getting late, let your uncle take you back!"

"There's no need for uncle to send me away. Let's go to Pier Street to find my eldest uncle and my second uncle. Then we'll go back with them!"

"Then let your uncle take you to Quay Street!"

Afterwards, Guo Yuchang escorted the two of them to Pier Street, exchanged experiences with Chen Dajiang and others about opening a store, and hurriedly left before dark.

Chen Xi did not forget what he saw this morning. As soon as Guo Yuchang left, he immediately asked Chen Erhai.

"Second uncle, I saw customers outside our store this morning.

After queuing for a long time, I still couldn't buy any buns. Xiao Qi said it was because a big customer was in front of me and bought all the buns. Could it be like this every day? "

Chen Erhai was worried and didn't know how to speak. When Chen Xi took the initiative to mention it, he immediately said with a grimace.

"Xiao Xi, to be honest, we have been worrying about this matter recently! I used to say that the more customers like this, the better, but now I find that this is not the case. If this continues, I am afraid it will ruin the business. !”
