The Culinary Tycoon

Perhaps it was because Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Zhao both drank and seemed to be fine, and some other Mrs. also started to eat one after another.

They also figured it out now, since Mrs. Cai dared to treat guests with this dessert, he must be sure to eat it.Moreover, both Mr. Cai and Mr. Zhao's family ate it. If they didn't eat it, it would feel like they would not give Mrs. Cai face.

What's more, if the white fungus makes the skin itchy, the taste of this dessert is really good.

Of course, there are still people who care about the comments that white fungus can't be eaten. For example, Huang Fulang just didn't touch the bowl of dessert again.

After seeing Mrs. Cai, he stopped persuading him to eat the white fungus, red dates and lotus seed soup, and asked him to eat some other snacks, and smiled.

On the contrary, Zhao's husband looked at Huang Fulang thoughtfully, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips and smiled, then turned his head and continued chatting with Mrs. Cai.

After seeing off those husbands, Mrs. Cai said to Yu Qingze and Le Geer: "The desserts are all delicious, and this white fungus, red dates and lotus seed soup is also delicious. The other masters also like it very much. Thank you for your hard work." .”

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "It would be nice if I could help the old man."

Mrs. Cai said with a smile: "Thanks to you, the flower viewing will be very successful. You are busy recently, so I won't keep you. After this busy period, the shop has stabilized. You must come and have a seat. I played very well, and I want to compare with you guys."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze agreed without hesitation, and said with a smile, "Okay. Then old man, let's take our leave first."

"Okay, let's go."

After leaving the Cai Mansion, Yu Qingze said to Brother Le, "Brother Le, I think we need to set up one or a few quiet cubicles, maybe two or three tables will do."

According to what Old Man Cai said just now, if the other aristocratic husbands respond well to the dim sum, then maybe they will also come to the store to consume in the future, so it is best to give this group of customers a special treatment, Such as elegant room and so on.

Even if they don't come, there is no loss in the store. Anyway, if you prepare first, it will always be useful.

Le Geer looked at him and asked suspiciously: Why?

Yu Qingze explained to him: "Think about it, if people like Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai come to our store to eat dim sum, oh, no, Mrs. Cai and Mrs. may be fine. My brother comes to our store to eat dim sum, do you think it would be awkward for him to sit in the hall and eat with others?"

Chang Le thought for a while, people of their status should be more particular, and would not like to sit in a noisy hall with other people they don't know and eat snacks.

He gestured and said: It should be awkward, no, it will definitely be awkward.

Yu Qingze said: "That's right, so we can make a few small cubicles. There may not be a way to provide separate private rooms in our store, but it is still possible to separate them with screens or something. What do you think?"

Chang Le's eyes lit up, he nodded and gestured, "Yes, so maybe people of their status will also come to our snack bar."

"Then let's go and see the screen?"

Chang Le nodded.

The two ran to look at the screen again. They didn't have a lot of budget and couldn't afford the expensive one, so they looked at the more elegant one, wrote down the size, and then went back to the shop to start designing, to see which one The orientation is suitable for compartments.

In the end, after looking around, it was still fixed on the side of the wall away from the North Street. It is quieter, and there are windows, and the lighting can also be used. It can be separated into three small rooms, and then a few pots of flowers and plants will be placed. It also looks a little bit different.

Early the next morning, Yu Qingze sent a bag of dried white fungus to Cai's house. He had already taught Uncle Fu how to do it yesterday.

After Cai Laofulang learned about it, he was very happy, and his impression of Yu Qingze got better in his heart.

The preparations for the store are also proceeding in an orderly manner, Yu Qingze will add some items every day, and gradually the additions are almost complete.

The stove is ready, just wait for it to dry and deodorize. The kitchen utensils, stove, briquettes, and firewood have all been bought, and the tables and chairs have been delivered. Ten four-person tables have been delivered, and the remaining four large tables can be made in two days Well, I also bought a screen, separating three small private rooms.

Personnel have also been found.Brother Chang was sure that he could make dim sum, which made Yu Qingze heave a sigh of relief, and taught him other dim sum recipes every night in the evenings. Sometimes he was busy, so he let Brother Le teach him.

For the remaining three waiters, he also found time to let them come home at night, and then taught them to recognize numbers and gave them training.

Grandpa Chang is making the small bamboo plaques used to mark prices. He has made sixty or seventy of them. Yu Qingze will use a small file to engrave the numbers on both sides when he returns home at night. , it can be used after drying.

Then he asked Brother Chang and his father to weave a small bamboo basket with thin bamboo strips, which is divided into several small spaces in a row, and then tied to the waist with a belt. At that time, the small bamboo price tag will be placed Into those little baskets, handy for takers to take bamboo tokens.

In addition, Yu Qingze asked the village head to make a few larger price tags, and the village head and the others had to do it if they were to be erected.

On September [-]th, the plaque of their shop was finished.Yu Qingze checked it and confirmed that there was no problem, so he covered it with a red cloth and hung it up the day before the opening.

On September [-], the rest of the tables were also ready.At this point, the hardware facilities are in place.

This day happened to be a day when the food stall was closed. In the afternoon, Yu Qingze gathered everyone in the shop, arranged the tables and chairs, and then started the business rehearsal.

Brother Le and Brother Chang have already prepared ten snacks in the morning, and also cooked two small pots of porridge, three side dishes, and one pot of Oden.

This is Yu Qingze's menu during the trial opening period. He is afraid that he will make too much at once, and the person in charge of picking up the food is not familiar with it and will easily make mistakes, so he plans to gradually increase from less to more.

They lit every stove, transferred all the snacks to the new stove, and everything was rehearsed according to the official business.

Now, the display in the shop is like this.

On the left hand side of the door is the dining area, and on the right hand side is the dining area.

There is a table on the right hand side of the door, on which there are dinner plates, bowls and plates for guests to take by themselves.

Then there was the short one in the L-shape of the stove, on which there were Oden cooking, two pots of porridge, and three side dishes, and then there was the long strip across the stove, with five stoves inside and a steamer on the top. Ten kinds of dim sum, siu mai, steamed dumplings, three kinds of buns, two kinds of flower rolls, glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice chicken, pumpkin pie.

There is no stove on the wall bordering the kitchen. Yu Qingze can put the snack trolley there after preparation, and four stoves can be placed on the two snack trolleys.

Then through the kitchen door and the aisle, there is the cash register.

The three new recruits are Uncle Zhen who is in charge of washing dishes, Yu Xiaoshu, a 19-year-old young man who is in charge of cleaning the table, and Brother Qing who is about the same age as Brother Chang. take meal.

Jiabao is in charge of the cash register, and the others act as customers if they are free for the time being.

Yu Qingze clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone take your place, let's try it first, brothers Chang and Brother Qing, don't worry, the main thing is to remember the price of each dim sum first, and don't give the wrong bamboo card."

The two nodded, tied the small basket around their waists, and then stood in the area they were in charge of.

Brother Chang is in charge of the short one. The prices of the oden and the three side dishes here are different, which is a bit more complicated; Brother Qing is in charge of the long dim sum. The Hanamaki over there is one penny each, and the buns are two pennies each. , Siu Mai, dumplings, glutinous rice dumplings five cents a plate, glutinous rice chicken five cents a plate, relatively easy to remember.

"Okay, let's start! Brother Le, come in." Yu Qingze shouted.

A group of people started to pretend to be customers, went outside and started to enter the store.

Le Geer walked in front, he consciously took the plate and began to order.

Next is brother Chang, who followed to order food.

When Chang Hao saw him, he originally wanted to follow them, but suddenly he thought of a problem, raised his hand and said to Yu Qingze, "Brother Yu, I found a problem."

Yu Qingze asked, "What's the problem?"

Chang Hao replied: "If I'm really a guest and it's the first time I come in, how do I know how to pick up my meal?"

When everyone heard it, it was true. They all knew this model, but other customers didn't know it. Everyone is used to finding a seat when they enter the store.

Yu Qingze was taken aback for a moment, then patted his head, and said, "Oh, I forgot! We need someone to greet the guests and explain the process. We still need to find someone else!"

He looked at the few people present, almost everyone has a job, he thought for a while, and said: "Xiaoshu, you also learned to read and write, you go to Brother Chang to try it? Brother Chang, come here Greeting customers and explaining the process to customers.”

Xiaoshu responded and happily passed by.He was quite interested in fetching meals, much better than clearing the table or something.

The two switched.

Yu Qingze told Brother Chang a few lines of welcome and precautions. Brother Chang tried to say it a few times and wrote it down.

The rehearsal resumed.

Le Geer re-entered the store.

As soon as he entered the store, Brother Chang greeted him with a smile: "Welcome. How many guests are there?"

Brother Le suppressed a smile and raised his index finger.

The others were also secretly laughing when they saw it. They were all old acquaintances, so they thought it was funny.

"One. Customers come here, please, our restaurant is in a self-service mode. You pick up the plate here and choose your own food. The waiter will put the food and the bamboo plate marked with the price of the food on your plate. Meal, you go to the counter over there to pay, and then choose a seat over there to sit down. There are chopsticks on the table, and the hot sauce is free, you can take it by yourself.”

Le Geer nodded with a smile, and then began to order.

Le Geer ordered a portion of every food with different prices, which made Xiao Shu panicky.He is not yet familiar with these prices, especially the Kanto cooking, there are several prices in it, and unlike other foods, there are big price signs standing there for him to see, so the speed is a bit slow.

Brother Chang, who was picking up food behind Brother Le, waited for a while, and couldn't wait any longer, so he went around to the front.

Seeing this, Yu Qingze stood next to Xiaoshu and reminded him twice, and Xiaoshu gradually remembered.

The guests came in one by one, and Yu Qingze observed from the sidelines, and when he found any problems, he pointed them out in time and corrected them.

The difficulty for the person in charge of picking up the meals is that they haven’t memorized the prices of the cooked dishes. This is not a big problem.Another problem is that when there are many customers, it will be a bit hectic. This problem can be solved by increasing manpower, but it depends on the turnover of the store. After evaluating the cost, we will decide whether to recruit more people.

On the other side, at the checkout side, Yu Qingze thought that Jiabao was still doing the calculations in his head, but he actually took out an abacus, and he calculated it quite quickly.

Yu Qingze: ...

"Jiabao, when did you learn to count?" This is really surprising!

Jiabao finished counting Brother Le's bamboo card, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "Didn't you tell me to pay the bill later when you rented the shop? Learned abacus."

Yu Qingze asked in surprise: "You have learned it in just a few days?"

He has been busy with the business of the shop these days, he has no time to manage the food stalls, and rarely goes to Liu Ji, Xiao Jiabao even got in touch with Boss Liu, and even learned how to plan?

Jia Bao nodded, and said a little shyly: "These numbers are small, and they are quite simple."

Yu Qingze took the bamboo tokens from Brother Le just now in disbelief, and did the calculations, and the result was the same as Jiabao's calculations.

He continued to look at Jiabao and counted a few more, all of them were correct, and immediately patted him on the shoulder in surprise, and said, "Jiabao, good boy, you learn so fast!" Well cultivated, maybe it's the work of an accountant. Materials!

Jiabao then lowered his head and smiled sheepishly.

After an afternoon of rehearsals, Brother Chang was done talking, and he almost didn't need to think about the set of procedures, and he just opened his mouth.

Twice, Chang Hao slipped past the counter with a plate in his hand, wanting to eat Bawang's meal without paying the bill, but he was caught by Jia Bao once, and brother Chang once.

Brother Qing and Xiaoshu finally got familiar with all the dim sum prices, and they were no longer in such a hurry.On Jiabao's side, the young boy settled accounts seriously and never made a mistake.

These most important links are almost over.

In the end, everyone who was hungry from the practice ate up all the snacks and food, and there was nothing left.

When he went back that night, Grandpa Chang found another helper to clean up the table.

On the morning of September 21, they first hung up the sign, which was still covered with a red cloth, so they had to wait until the opening day to reveal it.

Then, everyone rehearsed for another day. After finishing, they packed up their things, wiped the tables and chairs again, and confirmed that there was no problem. Yu Qingze said loudly——

"Okay! Let's open at midnight tomorrow!"
