Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"Let's take a look at the sales situation of the buffet lunch first. If the business is as hot as these two days for ten consecutive days and the number of people does not decrease much, we will recruit two more cooks to be responsible for the buffet lunch."

Anyway, the restaurant's kitchen area is large enough, and it won't feel crowded at all if there are two more chefs.

"I know, sister-in-law, I will observe more in the next few days, and then calculate the net profit. If the net profit meets our expectations, then I will let go."

Xu Wanning nodded: "Well, I leave all the power to you, I'm completely at ease."

Hearing this, Dongzi smiled innocently.

After laughing, he added: "By the way, sister-in-law, when will we start selling hot pot? Many people have come to me to inquire, but you haven't come to the restaurant these days."

"It's OK today." Xu Wanning raised the bag she was holding, "I have brought the hot pot base ingredients. When the peak meal period is over, I will teach Chef Zhang and Chef Yang how to stir-fry ingredients. , cook hot pot.”

"Okay!" Dongzi agreed happily.

Half an hour later, the guests left one after another, and the restaurant was suddenly empty.

Xu Wanning asked Dongzi to gather all the people in the backyard.

"I will only leave the stir-frying methods to Chef Zhang and Chef Yang. In addition, Xue Hua, you can find a few quick hands and feet to learn the cooking time of each dish."

Xuehua is the foreman of the waiters, and Xu Wanning is willing to give her some authority on such small matters, so that she can better manage the waiters.

"Little boss, how many people do you want?"

"Five or six."

Xuehua chose three from the earliest batch of waiters, and two from the new ones. Plus her, there were six in total.

Xu Wanning took out the hot pot base ingredients that had been prepared in advance.

"There are three kinds of hot pot bases, namely butter spicy hot pot, tomato hot pot and mushroom soup pot. I asked Manager Su to specially customize the Yuanyang Hot Pot and Zimu Hot Pot, so that guests can choose their favorite pot base."

The mandarin duck pot is used to cook tomato and butter spicy pot, and the mother-in-law pot is used to cook butter spicy pot and mushroom soup pot.

"As for the spicy hot pot, it is also divided into three spiciness levels: mild, medium and extra spicy. Customers can also choose by themselves. I make the hot pot base myself, and the choice of spiciness depends on the stir-fry ingredients. How much chili pepper should be put in..."

Xu Wanning explained the cooking methods and precautions to the two chefs while demonstrating.

Within a few seconds, the spicy aroma was completely aroused, and everyone present sniffed hard.

"Although it smells a bit pungent, it really smells good."

"It's very fragrant, but just smelling it makes it feel spicy. I can't eat spicy food."

"The little boss said, there are also tomato pot and mushroom soup pot. If you can't eat spicy food, you can have the other two."

After the hot pot base ingredients were fried, Xu Wanning put the dishes prepared in advance on the table one by one.

"The scalding times for beef, mutton, and pork belly are respectively..."

Due to the limitations of the times, Xu Wanning did not prepare many dishes.

The only meat dishes available are beef, mutton, pork belly, pork tenderloin, chicken feet and duck feet, but there is no tripe.

In later generations, meat dishes such as duck tongue with hairy belly and yellow throat were easily sold for four to fifty-one servings, and only a few yuan.

But nowadays, these parts are basically not available on the market, and Xu Wanning is reluctant to go out and search for them. It is still unknown whether they will be found.

Therefore, the most basic beef, lamb and pork are enough.

For vegetarian dishes, it’s just some seasonal fresh vegetables.

But the variety is pitiful.

Therefore, Xu Wanning added kelp, wakame, dried tribute vegetables and bean sprouts and potato clips.

"By the way, which one of you can make soft tofu?" Xu Wanning set her sights on Chef Zhang and Chef Yang.

The two chefs looked at each other, "I can make ordinary tofu, but I really can't make soft tofu."

"I can, little boss, I can make soft tofu!" Behind him, a person raised his arms. Xu Wanning took a closer look and saw a face that was completely unfamiliar to her.

Most of them are new chefs recommended by Chef Zhang or Chef Yang.

Seeing Xu Wanning's gaze, the other party smiled "hehe" and said: "Our family has opened a tofu shop before, and I can make all soy products. The tender tofu the little boss mentioned is the kind of tofu that melts in the mouth, right? Although The process is a bit difficult, but I really know how to do it!”

“Can you make all kinds of soy products?”

The other party nodded: "Yes!"

"What about tofu skin and dried tofu?"

"As long as I have the materials, I can make it!"

Xu Wanning immediately clapped her hands: "Well, you are responsible for making three kilograms of dried tofu, two kilograms of tofu skin, and two kilograms of tender tofu every day. If you need anything, just tell Manager Su and he can arrange it."

"Is this all it takes? Isn't it a little too little?"

Xu Wanning said with a smile: "Soy products are actually delicious when used to cook hot pot, but the taste is not acceptable to everyone. And soy products cannot be stored for a long time. They are made in the morning, not sold out in the afternoon, and spoiled overnight. So. Let’s prepare less at the beginning, and if we don’t sell enough later, we can make more.”

Xu Wanning looked at Xuehua and the others again: "Have you memorized the simmering time for each dish? The time spent abroad must be within the shortest time and the longest time. If the time is too short, you will not be familiar with it, if the time is too long, you will be too old. It affects the taste.”

Xuehua nodded: "I remember the little boss."

She was worried that she would forget if she turned around, or remember the time of several dishes incorrectly, so she deliberately wrote them down on paper, just in case.

Xu Wanning looked at Chef Zhang and Chef Yang again: "Have you memorized the method of stir-frying?"

"Remember, remember everything."

"Okay. Each of you will fry it once. After the frying is done, Xue Hua and you will start rinsing the vegetables."

Xue Hua looked at the more than ten plates on the table, "Little boss, would it be too wasteful to cook all these dishes? Let's just try it once each to verify that we all remember it, right?"

"The portion of the dishes on the plate isn't too much. Each of you can try it once or twice, and there won't be much left. Besides, when it's cooked, we can share it with everyone, so it won't be wasted. "

Hearing this, everyone had a look of joy on their faces and asked in disbelief: "Little boss, can we be the first to taste the hot pot? Is it true?"

Xu Wanning wanted to say that it was not the first batch. She had already let her family taste it half a month ago.

But she didn't say this to her face.

"Yes, everyone has a share. If there is not enough food, let the chefs go to the kitchen to prepare it, and everyone can eat as much as they want and be satisfied."

Chef Zhang and Chef Yang also started stir-frying, and soon, the tangy aroma swept over them again.
