Rebirth as a Cooking God

Return to Jinguan City.

Ju goes downstairs.

In the early morning, at dawn, the store door opened with a bang. Liu Ying got up early as usual, took a broom, and started cleaning the front and back of the house carefully bit by bit.

The girl has a slight mysophobia, so even the parking space outside is kept spotless.

In the store, two sisters, Tamagawa Misa and Tamagawa Ayaka, one is upstairs and the other is in the lobby on the ground floor. They are holding a basin and a rag, first scrubbing the tables and chairs, and then squatting barefoot on the ground, with their buttocks raised high, carefully Clean wooden floors.

At the counter, Zhu Qing rubbed her eyes and flipped through yesterday's account book.

It is worth mentioning that there is a strange machine on the counter called a like machine, manufactured by the system. If the customer is satisfied when checking out, he presses his thumb into the finger frame on the surface of the machine, and a friendly and sweet female voice will say: Thank you for your thumbs up. The store will launch more novel dishes in the future. Welcome Come to the store to review.”

On the machine panel, the total number of accumulated likes has exceeded 20,000.

Zhu Qing likes to use an abacus to check the turnover. There is a crackling sound at the counter. After a while, laughter spreads in the store: Not bad, not bad. Yesterday, the 1,000 dining quotas were fully occupied. There were no gaps. One table was four A fixed seat, not counting heads, but counting consumption per table, no matter if there is only one person or if it is full, the menu must be ordered almost once. In this way, two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, plus a special aquatic product and snack tea set, on average, every Table consumption exceeded 1,000 yuan.”

Not counting the per capita consumption, this is because the customers who come to the store to order food cherish the dining coupons they finally got, and the menu list will definitely be emptied when they come.

If we had not taken into account factors such as ingredients and manpower, and relaxed the restriction that each dish can only be ordered once per table, Xinju Downstairs' daily turnover would not be a problem.

Nowadays, Xinju Downstairs’ daily turnover exceeds one million yuan. Although it is not a huge hit, if a certain magazine wrote the title of the report as Popular Restaurant, it would not be questioned.

This is progress!

Liu Lan and his son Liu Jing arrived at work on time before the morning opening.

Listening to Zhu Qing's laughter, Liu Lan secretly shook his head. It seemed like a popular restaurant, but its operating figures were not bad. The turnover and costs were almost the same. And if you include the high wages of him and Yuanyue's team, it would be a good idea. appropriate operating deficit.

In fact, if you want to promote fantasy dishes, you don't have to operate at a deficit like this. Fantasy ingredients are still mid-to-high-end consumer goods. Instead of losing money and making a profit, it is better to take the high-end boutique route from the beginning...

Liu Lan spoke sincerely to Zhu Qing.

High-end boutique route? Zhu Qing smiled, Reduce the daily designated dining quota of 1,000 people to 10 people. Well, we only receive 10 guests a day. How many months in the future will the guests' dining reservations be scheduled? Then Per capita consumption is one million or tens of millions?”

This will make our kitchen team more relaxed, and the turnover and profit accounts will also look good. However, it is impossible for Ayu to agree to such a business plan. Zhu Qing closed the ledger and said calmly, At least, we are still here When Neon opened, he did not transform the restaurant into a high-end restaurant and still insisted on entertaining ordinary customers.

Zhu Qing stretched and continued: Besides, we are just testing the waters now. Who said that Ayu will just be stubborn and make a profit at a loss?

Ju goes downstairs. Isn't it only the main building that is open to the public? There are also side pavilions in the east and west. Don't worry, when Ayu comes back, the planning of high-end dining tables will be put on the agenda!

Kitchen.

This kitchen was originally the main battlefield where famous chefs gathered in Juxialou in the past. You can imagine how spacious the space is.

After systematic upgrading and renovation, the large kitchen is unique. After entering, there is a corridor. Going down the corridor, there are doors. Each door is made of pure glass and wood frame. Behind the door is divided into independent spaces. Small kitchen.

The chef is the homeowner. In other words, each room is a chef's workplace.

At this time, early in the morning, in the room where the Snack sign was hung, Morita Maki was wearing a chef's uniform, with long straight black hair, tied into a ponytail, and wrapped in a cloth towel, as if she was wearing a cloth hat. She was obviously so simple. However, the daily work attire has a pure atmosphere.

Boom!

Someone knocked on the glass door, and Maki looked back, Erina?

A blond ponytail girl who was also wearing a chef's uniform cast a confused look, Um, Maki-chan, can you help me taste the dishes?

Testing dishes?

Maki's dark black eyes rolled around, No problem -

She stopped what she was doing and followed the blond girl with an angelic face to another glass room.

As soon as I opened the door, the strong smell of barbecue meat hit my nose.

Following the smell, he walked to a small table-style oven. Maki pointed to a few round pieces of meat on the grill and said in surprise: Erina, is this the new dish you are studying?

Well, you, you can try it! Nakiri Erina twisted her waist and glanced away, with a shy dodge in her eyes.

You must know that from daily life to daily cooking training, this Queen Totsuki has a beautiful purple-haired girl by her side, that is, Nito Hisako, also known as the secretary.

Usually there are two masters and servants. In the kitchen, Erina cooks, and Hisako tries the dishes and gives her opinions. However, Hisako did not come to China with Erina, but in this team, Nakiri E Rina discovered that Maki-chan was her closest friend.

Cousin Alice? Forget it, asking her to try the dishes is asking for trouble. She doesn't want a regular discussion of criticism to turn into a bitter exchange of words.

Out of curiosity, Morita Maki picked up a piece of meat and placed it on a small dinner plate.

She certainly knows how to appreciate a dish.

Let’s start with the “color” aspect, which is the appearance of the dish.

It has to be said that Nakiri Erina's concept of gorgeous and exquisite cooking has never changed. However, the so-called common people's mantra has not only disappeared, but her inner views on common people's ingredients and common people's cuisine have also changed. on her work.

The round meat balls are obviously hand-made and tied. The outermost ring is beef. Although the knife skills are strict and the texture of the meat is exquisite, Zhenxi can see that this is not a precious beef ingredient. In the past, when Erina used beef, she just used A5 Wagyu beef without any extra thought.

Click!

Maki took a bite and immediately looked shocked.

The tenderness of the roast beef was expected, but what I didn't expect was that there was another type of roast meat hidden inside the beef!

This is... While chewing, she looked down at the meat roll again and again, Maki suddenly realized, It turns out to be roasted suckling pig. Oh my god, this texture and taste reminds me of flame roasted suckling pig!

In addition to the smell of fire, there is also...

The girl burst into tears.

The pork has a strange spiciness of ginger that will make you cry.

These spicy flavors mixed with the taste of fire, and with a bang, there was a burning flame in Maki's eyes.

How about it?

Nakiri Erina observed Maki-chan's expression nervously.

After sniffing, Morita Maki praised: This is a new recipe created based on the core secret of Flame Roasted Suckling Pig. Well, the charcoal-grilled beef, butter and beef juice seep into the inner layer of roasted pork, and The roast pork must be a fantasy ingredient, it has an incredible natural ginger flavor, I don’t know why, it makes me want to cry after eating it!”

Yes, I used 'ginger pork' instead of ordinary pork. This kind of pork is easy to cook, and the heat of the barbecue is very easy to control. It doesn't require much knowledge to master it! Erina said.

Morita Maki happily grabbed Erina's hands, That's great, Erina, this dish is definitely qualified to be included in Kiku's menu downstairs. When Ayu comes back, you can show it to him. He will definitely be happy for you.

Erina looked at the clean black eyes close at hand and moved her lips.

The other party's sincerity made her speechless.

That question, 'Are you really happy for me?', which was an inappropriate question that could damage friendship, was stillborn. Erina suddenly felt that she was quite narrow-minded, just like the slit girl in the legend of the monsters, who would cut off other people's mouths with a sickle when she saw a beautiful woman's face, even to the base of the ear...

Just when Erina was about to apologize in a low voice in shame, the mobile phone in Morita Maki's pocket began to hear the pleasant ringtone of a new message.

Ah, it's Ayu! Maki tilted her head.

ah--

A head immediately came over.

Maki didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she simply straightened up the phone screen and watched side by side with Erina. Immediately, both beautiful girls looked puzzled, ...Ayu asked, is there any bullfrog ingredient in the neon sashimi?
