my boyfriend is a chef

At night, Lao Lin handed over the shop to his wife, and accompanied Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen to inspect the market.The food stall business is only open in the evening, and it starts to open in the evening. It is usually busy until midnight at night. It is very hard work, but it is really profitable if it is done well.

At night, the night market street is very lively, and the sidewalks are full of tables and chairs, forming a sharp contrast with the desertedness of the day.However, not all the shops are booming. The food stall that Sun Youchen plans to take over is particularly deserted. This one is for Mala Tang. It is located in the middle, so it is not very dominant, but the barbecue stall next to it, The hot pot restaurant is almost full, but his house has no customers.

Xi Chuan said unexpectedly: "Why is other people's business so good? Why is there no one in their house?"

Lao Lin said, "We'll find out when we go to his house to eat."

So the three of them went to this Mala Tang restaurant, and the proprietress came over to greet her in person. When she saw Sun Youchen and Lao Lin, she immediately smiled and said, "It's you, here again today? Do you really want to buy a shop?"

Sun Youchen pointed to Xi Chuan and said, "My brother has the final say."

Xi Chuan said, "Let's eat first, we'll talk later."

As soon as the ordered items arrived, Xi Chuan knew where the problem was. The items were not fresh. They were probably sold out after a few days. He was reluctant to throw them away and put them in the freezer. Food will go bad if left out for a long time.They picked around and finally ate some vegetarian dishes. What Malatang eats is the taste of the base and dipping sauce. The base of this restaurant is obviously not very good. There are many areas for improvement. No wonder the business is not good. It seems It can only do one-time business and cannot attract repeat customers.This is a vicious circle, and in the long run, business will only get worse.

Lao Lin only ate some potato chips and said, "Now you know why his family's business is not good?"

Sun Youchen also smiled and said, "Brother, do you know why I didn't eat enough last night?"

Xi Chuan turned his head and looked around: "Do you think I can open this food stall?"

Lao Lin said: "Of course. You have to take your time to start a business. Although it won't be as popular as the other side at the beginning, the word of mouth will improve after a while. Remember, taste is the most important thing when opening a restaurant. Yes, especially don't fool the guests with the ingredients, no one is stupid, you will know it once you eat it."

Xi Chuan humbly listened to the instruction: "Then what should I do more appropriate?"

Lao Lin said: "This restaurant originally made Malatang. If you want to change the customer's impression, you can change it to a different one. Hot pot and skewers are fine. There are hot pot and barbecue next to it, so you can do something different, skewers Let’s go.” Generally speaking, hot pot and skewers are more suitable for winter, but in Rongcheng, hot pot is a part of people’s daily life, and it is very popular no matter what season it is.

Sun Youchen said excitedly: "Brother, just make skewers."

Xi Chuan nodded: "Then let me try?"

Sun Youchen hurriedly said: "Then I'll call the boss over to discuss the transfer."

They called the boss over, and the other party looked tired, obviously exhausted physically and mentally by this shop that couldn't make ends meet.They finally negotiated a transfer fee of 3 yuan, 12 yuan a month for rent, one month's deposit, and one quarter's payment.Xi Chuan calculated the decoration cost and equipment purchase cost, and the miscellaneous things would add up to [-] to [-], so the entire store would cost at least [-].

After signing the transfer contract, of course, it cannot be opened immediately, because decoration, business license and catering license are still required.Moreover, Xi Chuan has not resigned from the fast food restaurant yet, and he still has to go to work, so the opening seems to be in the foreseeable future.Sun Youchen took the initiative to say: "Brother, leave the certificate and decoration to me. I will handle it. You go to work."

Xi Chuan looked at Sun Youchen with some uneasiness: "Can you do it?" He is a student with no experience. Would it be too unreliable for him to do these things?

Sun Youchen patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it. When I am in doubt, I will come to ask you, and I can also ask Uncle Lin for advice. In terms of aesthetics, you should rest assured of me."

Xi Chuan thought for a while, Sun Youchen was the one who took the lead in opening the store, and he basically paid for the money, so it is indeed reasonable for him to preside over it: "Then you can figure it out, the province should be saved, don't worry about it. Waste of money."

"I know." Sun Youchen said with a smile.

Xi Chuan went back to work anxiously, he planned to resign as soon as possible, he couldn't really let Sun Youchen carry it alone.After getting off work that day, Xi Chuan told Tian Cheng about resigning. Tian Cheng's eyes widened, apparently in disbelief, and he quickly asked, "Why? Is our salary too low?"

Xi Chuan shook his head: "No, Sister Cheng, the school is about to go on summer vacation, and there are fewer things going on in the shop, so I don't think we can use so many people."

"It's a good time to take a rest when there are few things to do. I'll give you a lot of salary. Why do you want to leave? If you think the salary is low, won't it be okay for me to raise your salary when the next semester starts?" Tian Cheng knew that the business in the store was so good. , Xi Chuan is absolutely indispensable, many customers come to eat because of his craftsmanship.

Xi Chuan licked his lips: "Sister Cheng, it's not about salary, you haven't treated me badly. I opened a shop myself, so I had to leave."

Tian Cheng's eyes widened: "You opened your own shop? When did it happen?"

"Recently, I bought a store, which is currently being renovated and will open in July. Thank you, Sister Cheng, for taking care of me during this time." Xi Chuan said.

Tian Cheng suddenly understood: "You asked for leave two days ago to visit a store? What kind of store are you opening?"

Xi Chuan didn't hide it from her: "It's a food stall, for supper."

Tian Cheng heard that it was a food stall, so she felt a little relieved, at least it was not a peer competition, she said with a smile: "Your skill in making fast food is already a waste, wouldn't it be even more wasteful to go to a food stall?"

Xi Chuan smiled: "Take it easy." Although there are not many skills that can be used in the food stall, it can be regarded as his own career anyway.

"Then why don't you leave after the university holiday?" Tian Cheng discussed with him, but she was really reluctant to let Xi Chuan go. She regretted not signing a contract with Xi Chuan.

Xi Chuan said: "Now the store is being renovated, and my brother is watching alone. He is young and inexperienced, so I don't feel at ease. I'll make it to the end of this month, and I won't come next month."

Tian Cheng knew early on that he would not be able to keep Xi Chuan. He was willing to come to his store to cook fast food for the convenience of taking care of Sun Youchen. Now that Sun Youchen has graduated, it will be a matter of time before he leaves, but when this day comes, she is still reluctant: "Then do it by the end of this month."

"Thank you, Sister Cheng, for your understanding."

"Don't forget about us when we develop in the future." Tian Cheng said.

"of course not."

Sun Youchen has never done decoration before, but he can't stand his enthusiasm.Zhao Yao heard that he was going to open a store, and he had to prepare it himself. This is a big event. Although they have grown up or are about to grow up, and are about the same size as adults, they are still treated as children, and they are always taken care of. The person who made up his mind is of course excited to be able to do such a major event as the backbone, so he rushed over to help make suggestions.

Two and a half kids were preparing for the renovation. They were inexperienced and eager to join in. The two went to a lot of food stalls together, visited other people's home decoration, took a lot of photos, and asked for Xi Chuan's opinion. I made an idea with Zhao Yao's parents, decided on the decoration style, and under the introduction of Zeng Bo, found a decoration team from an acquaintance. When Xi Chuan quit his job, the decoration of the food stall was already in full swing. .

During this period, the results of the college entrance examination also came out, and Sun Youchen's cultural achievements exceeded a line, and he did not ask for Xi Chuan's opinion when filling out the application form, and filled it out by himself.Xi Chuan asked him where he had filled in the report, and Sun Youchen only said that he had filled in the school he wanted to go to the most. Xi Chuan thought that it must be Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, so he was relieved.

Xi Chuan quit his job, An Xin and Sun Youchen set up the shop together.Because it is a food stall, it is mainly an open-air venue, and the decoration is relatively simple, so it didn't take a lot of time and money.But for the utensils and equipment in the kitchen, both Sun Youchen and Xi Chuan insisted on buying better ones, because this is the basis of opening a shop.

To open a restaurant, the most troublesome thing is to apply for a business license and a catering license. Fortunately, the store manager of Xiaoyayuan has an acquaintance at the Food and Drug Administration. He heard that Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen were going to open a restaurant, so he offered to ask his acquaintance to help him with the permit. These were done without too much delay, within three weeks.So by mid-July, everything will be ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is needed, and now there is only one auspicious day to open the store.This was a little earlier than Xi Chuan expected, he thought that the store would not open until the end of July and early August.

In addition to managing the shop these days, what Xi Chuan does most is to stir-fry hot pot bases, prepare spicy soup bases, and study the menu of skewers.Although Chuan Chuan mainly eats skewers, and the dishes are skewered on bamboo sticks, every Chuan Chuan restaurant still prepares special dishes, which are the fundamentals to attract customers.Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen also went to several famous kebab restaurants during this time, tasting other people's special dishes for reference.

During this period, Sun Youchen ate hot pot the most. Apart from visiting and tasting, he also tried dishes at home.It was only at this time that Sun Youchen discovered that Xi Chuan was a perfectionist, especially in his demand for taste, which was to the point of perfection. What he wanted was not only delicious food, but must be particularly delicious, making people want to eat it even after eating it.This is of course a good thing, the better Xi Chuan's dishes are, the higher the chance of their business booming.This is a pain for Sun Youchen, because he is Xi Chuan's only dish tester. Although Xi Chuan's cooking skills are good, he can't resist eating hot pot all the time, eating hot pot every day.

Although they grew up eating hot pot, they still get angry after dun dun hot pot.After Sun Youchen ate hot pot for a few days, acne began to appear on his fair and clean face.He couldn't help but support Xi Chuan's work, so he brought Zhao Yao and Zeng Bo over to taste dishes together. Zeng Bo's time was limited, so he didn't come every time. Fortunately, Zhao Yao was free, so he happily ran over every day After several people's repeated attempts, the menu was finally determined.Of course, the few people also got a lot of acne, so that for a long time in the future, Sun Youchen didn't want to eat hot pot, skewers and Malatang, but Zhao Yao said that his favorite is hot pot, and he can eat it for a year. greasy.

July 7th was a good day for the opening of the market. The food stall finally opened. The food stall was given a very down-to-earth name, Sun Chuanchuan, which was agreed upon by Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen after repeated disputes.Sun Youchen thinks that the chef is Xi Chuan, and it should be called Xi Chuan Chuan, but Xi Chuan thinks that Sun Youchen took the money to open the shop, and he also learned his craft from his master. His name is already written on the business license, so the name of the shop should be Use Sun Youchen's.After listening to Xi Chuan's reasons, Sun Youchen finally agreed. He had selfish intentions. In this way, Xi Chuan and himself became a prosperous community.

On the opening day of the Chuan Chuan shop, Lao Lin, Zeng Bo and Zhao Yao each sent flower baskets to decorate the food stalls. At first they did not invite anyone. Chef Xi Chuan, Sun Youchen, Zhao Yao and Zeng Bo were in charge. Help cook and entertain.As the sky darkened, the lights gradually came on, and the night market became popular. Sun Youchen held the menu and nervously waited for Sun Chuanchuan's first customer.
