Food Tycoon

The kickers left, and the guests who watched the excitement left one after another. It was almost three o'clock at this time.Yu Lu looked at the time: "Go, hurry up and buy a mobile phone, it's time for dinner again in a while."

Ah Hai sat still, Yu Lu pushed him: "Let's go, buy a mobile phone."

Ah Hai looked at him unexpectedly: "Buy it for me?"

Yu Lu said, "Well, you can choose one yourself."

Zhang Yiwei laughed: "Brother Hai, do you know what your relationship with the boss looks like now? It's like two parents-in-law, you are outside and he is inside."

Yu Lu glared at him: "Even if it's like two parents-in-law, it's still my master outside and the other master inside. Isn't he always in the kitchen and master inside?"

Zhao Xiaoyang laughed foolishly at the side, but didn't speak.Ah Hai stretched out his hand and patted the back of his head: "Laughing fart!"

Zhang Yiwei teased Yu Bing: "Ah Bing, your Uncle and Uncle Ah Hai, who is in charge of the inside and who is in charge of the outside?"

Yu Bing didn't understand what it meant at all, just seeing everyone having fun, so he joined in the fun, pointing at A Hai: "Uncle is in charge."

Zhang Yiwei laughed out loud, and Yu Lu bared his teeth and made a face: "Let me tell you."

Ah Hai glanced at Yu Lu, with no expression on his face, and he didn't say anything to protest, as if he wasn't keen on the joke, but actually he was secretly having fun in his heart.

Zhang Yiwei couldn't figure out Ah Hai's thoughts, fearing that he would hold grudges, so he changed the subject: "Boss, let's install a network cable in the store and install a wireless router, so that guests will have free wifi when they come to eat, and the business will be better for sure." .”

Yu Lu said, "Is it expensive to extend the network cable?"

"Cheap! There are hundreds of yuan a year. If we use it in our store, we can pull a larger flow, at most it costs 2000 yuan a year. You bought a mobile phone yourself, and you need to use data. , the mobile phone traffic will not be enough, and it costs money.”

Ah Hai glanced at Zhang Yiwei: "You want to use it."

Zhang Yiwei laughed: "Brother Hai, you need to use it too."

"Let's go, don't dawdle, finish shopping quickly, and you'll be busy again later." Yu Lu said and walked out.

Yu Bing ran up quickly: "Abbe, I will go too."

Yu Lu held his hand: "Okay. Go to Dongzheng Street to buy, right? Let's go by tricycle."

Zhang Yiwei wailed: "Boss, you can't take a taxi, the tricycle is so frustrating."

"You think it's frustrating for you to take a taxi by yourself." Yu Lu never felt that riding a tricycle was inferior to others.

Ah Hai rode the bicycle, Yu Lu hugged Yu Bing and sat next to him, Zhang Yiwei didn't actually take the taxi, but climbed into the car, squatted inside, and muttered softly: "I saw people pulling pigs in the same way. "

"You said it yourself, you're a pig!" Yu Lu rolled his eyes.

Yu Bing laughed happily: "Viagra is a pig."

Zhang Yiwei reached out and grabbed Yu Bing's ear from behind, and Yu Bing screamed excitedly.Ah Hai said: "Don't make trouble." Then everyone, big and small, fell silent.Yu Lu turned his head and glanced at Ah Hai. This man was always serious and he never seemed to know how to joke, but it was not an illusion that he asked himself to run naked that night. He must have short-circuited his brain at that time.

There are two main streets in the county town that run from east to west, north to south, among which Dongzheng Street is the most prosperous, and the largest shops are opened here.Zhang Yiwei led Yu Lu and A Hai into a large mobile phone store, which had a wide variety of mobile phones and various brands, and with the Chinese New Year approaching, there were also a lot of people.

Yu Lu asked Zhang Yiwei: "Awei, how is the current Nokia?"

Zhang Yiwei shook his head: "It's long gone, it was killed by the Android system. Now is the era of Apple and Samsung."

"Samsung is Korean, right? Is it expensive?" Yu Lu asked.

Ah Hai suddenly said, "No Samsung."

Yu Lu turned his head to look at him unexpectedly: "Do you know Samsung?"

"Don't buy a Samsung." Ah Hai didn't say much.

Zhang Yiwei felt that Yu Lu's words were very strange: "Who doesn't know Samsung, Brother Hai didn't come here from the primitive society."

Yu Lu couldn't help laughing, isn't that right, Ah Hai just didn't remember his own origin, and didn't say he didn't know anything else in this world.It's just that he has never heard Ah Hai talk about things other than cooking, and he doesn't know what he likes and what he hates. Even though he has lived with them for almost three months, he still knows very little about him.

Yu Lu said, "That's fine, let's buy a domestic machine."

Several people passed the Samsung counter outside and walked in, when they were suddenly stopped by a voice: "Ah, isn't this Yulu?"

Yu Lu turned his head and saw a young woman wearing a white down jacket standing behind the counter. The woman's hair was tied up high, her face was covered with thick foundation, her eyebrows were neatly trimmed without any excess, and her lips were painted bright red. Looking very capable, Yu Lu saw that her eyes were a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was: "You are?"

The woman giggled, revealing two large front teeth: "Do you recognize who I am?"

Yu Lu frowned and tried hard to think: "You must be from No. [-] Middle School, right?"

The woman was very proud: "Yes, I am Wang Jieling, and we used to be in the front and rear seats."

When Yu Lu heard the name, he remembered that this woman sat in front of him when she was in high school. At that time, she was white and fat. Because her name had the same pronunciation as a certain sanitary napkin brand, people often made fun of her. Yu Lu still had a deep impression on her. But compared to the woman in front of him, if she didn't declare her family background, he really wouldn't recognize her: "Yes, hello. You have changed so much that you can't even recognize her. The female college student has changed and become more and more beautiful. "

Wang Jieling had a smug look on her face, and she said shyly, "Really? You're just thinner than before. To be honest, your appearance hasn't changed much."

Yu Lu laughed: "I'm already an old man, how can I compare with before."

"It seems that he has matured a lot, but he is definitely not an uncle. Where are you making a fortune now?" Wang Jieling said very enthusiastically.

Yu Lu laughed: "What kind of money did you make? I opened a small restaurant with my friends to make a living."

"Restaurants are making money now." Wang Jieling brushed the ponytail on the back of her neck with her fingers, "at least you can still be your own boss, which is better than working for others."

Yu Lu chuckled, not knowing how to answer.

Wang Jieling added: "By the way, all my high school classmates will come back in a few days, and they are going to have a party. You haven't been to the party for so many years. You must come this time. What is your WeChat account, I will add you. "

Yu Lu scratched his head: "I don't have WeChat."

"What about QQ?"

"nor."

"There must be a phone number." Wang Jieling persevered.

Yu Lu chuckled: "The restaurant is very busy before the Chinese New Year, and I may not be able to spare time."

Wang Jieling said: "Where is your restaurant open? Then we can go to your restaurant to celebrate and bring you business. We won't be afraid that we won't pay for our meals."

Yu Lu found out that the simple classmate back then is now a fine person, and his words are impeccable, and no one can refuse: "How can there be such a thing, in Fisherman's Street, the name of the store is called Haibawang."

"Hai Ba Wang, hee hee, this name is so special, I'll write down your phone number first, and then I will go to your shop with everyone to eat, can you give me a discount?" Wang Jieling thought she was smiling very sweetly.

What else can Yu Lu say: "Old classmate, of course there will be a discount." Yu Lu can't say that he doesn't want money, and he doesn't own the shop alone, not to mention that everyone is richer than him, so there is no need for him to swell Fat face.

Wang Jieling said again: "Oh, by the way, are you here to buy a mobile phone? Buy Samsung, we are the world's largest mobile phone brand, with excellent quality and guaranteed after-sales service. We are old acquaintances, and we can give you the biggest discount .” The last sentence was said in a low voice.

Yu Lu didn't know what was going on with Samsung. He was moved by the last sentence. He glanced at Ah Hai who was not far away. Tell Ah Hai: "Will you buy a Samsung one? My classmate said there is a discount."

Ah Hai said coldly: "No Samsung."

Zhang Yiwei said from the side: "Boss, Samsung's cheap phones are rubbish. They are not cost-effective. They are not as good as domestic ones. You can't use them unless you buy one for four or five thousand."

Yu Lu heard what they said: "If that's the case, let's forget it and buy domestic ones." Originally, he didn't have a good impression of Wang Jieling, so he said hello to her and said that he bought it with a friend. My friend doesn't like Samsung phones and wants to buy domestic ones.

Wang Jieling didn't say anything, but when she turned her back, she showed contempt.

Ah Hai chose a Huawei Honor 3c, which was very cheap, only 1000 yuan. After choosing it, he said to Lu: "This is for you, I will use yours."

Yu Lu was so moved that he didn't expect Ah Hai to offer to use his old mobile phone, and quickly said: "No, this mobile phone is very cheap, I'll buy one too, this old one is for Anan to use."

Ah Hai looked at him and nodded: "That's fine."

So the two bought the same type of mobile phone, and Yu Lu was happy and embarrassed while holding the mobile phone: "The two have the same mobile phone, how to distinguish them in the future?"

Zhang Yiwei snapped his fingers: "This is simple, just buy a different mobile phone case."

After buying a mobile phone, he went to buy a phone card. Yu Lu had used that card for many years, and he didn’t plan to change it. Ah Hai didn’t have an ID card, so he couldn’t get a phone card, so Yu Lu used his ID card to get one for him. Card.

Yu Lu changed the card into the new mobile phone. It was the first time he used a mobile phone with a touch screen. He felt that it was quite new. He kept tapping the keys on the screen with his hands, and the screens changed back and forth. It felt really good.Yu Bing also felt fresh, and kept reaching out to play with it.

This kid Zhang Yiwei is very gossipy: "Boss, why doesn't Brother Hai have an ID card?"

Yu Lu said, "I lost my ID card, and I'm trying to reissue it."

"Did you drop your phone too?"

Yu Lu glanced at Ah Hai who was driving, and said, "It was all stolen."

Zhang Yiwei finally believed it: "Let me tell you, Brother Hai doesn't have a mobile phone. It turned out to be stolen."

"By the way, Ah Wei, how can I access WeChat and QQ?" Yu Lu asked Zhang Yiwei while holding his mobile phone.

Zhang Yiwei said: "You have to activate mobile data first, and download WeChat and QQ software, so that you can use it. But there is no wifi, and it will take a lot of data to download. Boss, go and pull the network cable."

Yu Lu said: "It's too late to go now, I don't have time today, let's go tomorrow."

Ah Hai suddenly said: "Is there going to be a banquet in two days, have you confirmed with someone on the phone?"

It was only then that Yu Lu remembered this: "Yes, yes, I have to call someone later to confirm, is the menu all ready?"

"All right."

This is a big deal. After Yu Lu went back, he quickly called the other party to confirm the menu and price with the other party. The other party was a regular customer of Yu Lu. His father had his [-]th birthday this year. Uncle Fei wants to come back to celebrate his old man's birthday.It was a temporary decision, and the hotel hadn't been confirmed yet, and Yu Lu's restaurant just opened. Although his restaurant has a small appearance, the dishes are definitely good, so he chose Yu Lu's restaurant, and he repeatedly told Yu Lu: "Let Master Ah Hai use dim sum, money is not an issue, the dishes must be the best."

Yu Lu promised: "Don't worry, this is the first time we hold a banquet, we won't smash our own signboard, and we will do our best to do it well." The other party has a total of fifteen tables, and the standard for each table is 2000 yuan Well, it's a relatively high-end place for them, mainly to make his uncle happy.

When people at the beach hold banquets, they naturally want seafood feasts, and shark fin, abalone, and sea cucumber are indispensable.Later, the guest asked Ah Hai if he would do Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Ah Hai said he would do it, but if he did, he would have to add [-] yuan per table.The guest didn't refuse. It turned out that his old uncle really wanted to eat Buddha Jumping Wall. He wanted to make it for him alone, but he seemed stingy, so he had to order Buddha Jumping Wall for every table.Although he has never eaten the Buddha jumping wall made by Ah Hai, as long as Ah Hai knows how to do it, he is absolutely at ease.

Yu Lu was both happy and stressed. The more expensive the banquet, the more money he would make, but the more types of dishes there were, the more difficult it was.These are not difficult, as long as there are ingredients, Ah Hai can cook them. What is more difficult is the manpower. There are only five helpers in the store, so how busy it is to serve the dishes.Where are you going to find someone now?

When Liu Haoyang heard that he had accepted a big order, he was very happy for him: "This is a good thing, you can earn a lot from this meal, don't be sad. I will transfer shifts with my colleagues and come to help you. "

In addition to being grateful to Dade for such a caring friend, Yu Lu was still grateful to Dade, but he was still short of manpower. He said to Ah Hai: "I'll go back to the island and find some Amu to come and help." It's like hiring temporary workers.

The seldom-talked Zhao Xiaoyang came up with an idea and said, "Boss, why don't you tell Brother Hong that there are quite a few people there who don't go to work during the day, so let's borrow it." The birthday banquet was at noon, and the ktv was all work at night.

Yu Lu looked at Zhao Xiaoyang in surprise: "Can this work?"

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "I'll call Brother Hong first to ask."

Yu Lu found that Zhao Xiaoyang didn't talk much, but he was reliable in his work, so he nodded, "That's all right, tell him for me. I'll pay the wages, 100 yuan per person, and include a lunch." This is considered a temporary worker , only busy for a few hours, the price is passable.

Zhao Xiaoyang went out, and after a while, he handed the mobile phone to Yu Lu: "Brother Hong wants to talk to you."

Yu Lu took the phone: "Boss Zhong, I'm Yu Lu."

Zhong Yanhong's voice sounded from the other end: "Boss Yu is short of manpower, is it enough for me to borrow 10 from you?"

Yu Lu thought about it, according to what Ah Hai said, one waiter was arranged for each table, and about 10 more waiters were needed, so he said: "Yes, just 10, thank you Boss Zhong. Please tell them and pack a lunch , 100 yuan a day. And, well, I hope they dress as normal as possible, is that okay?"

Zhong Yanhong laughed: "You don't have to worry about that, they are the waiters in my shop, and they usually dress normally. I heard that Master Ah Hai is going to be a Buddha jumping over the wall, can you leave me a copy?"

Yu Lu would not agree: "Of course, I will leave you a copy. Thank you, Boss Zhong."

Zhong Yanhong said again: "Ah Hai is the only chef in your kitchen. Are you busy? Would you like to lend me my chef?"

Yu Lu felt that Zhong Yanhong was simply sending charcoal in a timely manner: "If this is the case, it will be the best, thank you Boss Zhong."

"You are welcome, Liu Haoyang's friend is my friend." Zhong Yanhong said.

Yu Lu was happy in his heart, and didn't think too much about the relationship between Mouse and Yanhong Zhong. After hanging up the phone, he happily said to A Hai: "A Hai, the manpower has been resolved, and we have borrowed someone from Boss Zhong."

Ah Hai nodded: "Let them come here early, and also train them on serving etiquette."

"Oh, good. He also said to have the chef from their store come over and help."

Ah Hai looked at Yu Lu in surprise: "You told him?"

"No, he asked for it himself."

Ah Hai frowned thoughtfully, he didn't know what Zhong Yanhong was planning, but now that he was in the midst of employing people, he might as well come to the kitchen to help, he was really afraid that he would be too busy.

After solving the manpower problem, Yu Lu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and started busy with A Hai to prepare for the birthday banquet.This is complicated to think about, but even more difficult to do. There are only two of them. It is a huge challenge to prepare a dozen tables of banquets, each with eighteen dishes, from brine platters to desserts.

The first thing is to buy ingredients. This time, there are a lot of ingredients, and the quality requirements are also very high. The market in the county is not enough. Yu Lu and Ahai closed their stores for half a day. The largest wholesale market in the market is big. I bought a batch of good-quality dry goods and took them back as spares, so I won’t have to come here the next time I need them.

Originally, Yu Lu planned to handle this matter by himself, but Ah Hai was a little worried that he didn't know much about the goods. Everyone knows these things, but the quality is good or bad, and it takes people who have been dealing with it for a long time to distinguish it.Yu Lu went out shopping with Ah Hai and learned a lot, so next time he will be basically competent by himself.It is worth sacrificing a lunch, but this has caused dissatisfaction among many diners, there is no place to eat.

The banquet is just around the corner, Yu Lu and Ah Hai can't wait to grow big heads and six arms. The two chefs arranged by Zhong Yanhong came to help in advance. These two chefs usually cook buffet in their ktv, one cooks Chinese food and the other cooks Western food At first, Zhong Yanhong was a little reluctant to arrange for them to come to help. After all, every chef is the boss in his own kitchen, but now he has to serve as a foil for others. Who would be willing.But as soon as they arrived at Yulu, they told him that they would give each of them 300 yuan a day for hard work, and the two were immediately happy. This is equivalent to making extra money, and the boss allowed it.

Although these two chefs are not qualified in Ah Hai's eyes, they are professionals at any rate, and they are still competent in handling ingredients and taking care of the heat. With the help of two extra hands, they can finally reduce some burdens.

The Buddha Jumping Wall was stewed one day in advance. The diners came to eat and smelled the long-lasting aroma in the kitchen. Although they were eating delicious dishes in their mouths, their saliva still couldn't help but ask what it was. It was too tempting.The waiter told them that it was Buddha Jumping Over the Wall prepared for tomorrow's birthday banquet.Everyone realized that the strange way was so fragrant, it turned out that the Buddha jumped the wall.

"Since the boss knows how to make Buddha jump over the wall, he can also make it for us!" The diners looked at the delicious food on their lips but couldn't eat it, not to mention how impatient they were.

Zhang Yiwei said: "Our boss said that it is also possible to eat Buddha Jumping over the Wall, but it must be reserved two days in advance." Such famous dishes can only be reserved in advance. First, because the ingredients are too expensive, if they are made, they cannot be sold. Thanks to that, the second is because the cooking time of Buddha Jumping over the Wall is very long, and if you don’t make a reservation in advance, you won’t be able to eat it temporarily.

"Yes, yes, how much is it?" the diners asked.

Zhang Yiwei said: "The size of the big altar is 2588, and the size of the middle altar is 1988. A single serving is 298."

"How big is that jar?"

"The big altar serves 10 people, and the middle altar serves 7 people." Zhang Yiwei memorized A Haixin's menu by heart.

It's really expensive, but for a real glutton, it's really nothing. If you eat a meal, you won't be poor, but if you don't eat it, you will regret it all your life. Let's not talk about it, just make a reservation.So I ordered dozens of copies of Buddha Jumping Wall that day.

In the afternoon of the same day, the temporary waiters arranged by Zhong Yanhong came ahead of schedule, and Zhang Yiwei and Zhao Xiaoyang gave them cooking training. The two boys were quite happy.In fact, people don't use them much for training. These waiters are much older than them in the service industry, so they just need to pay attention to the details of serving dishes.

These people smelled the smell of Buddha jumping over the wall in the kitchen, and heard Zhang Yiwei boasting that the food here was beyond the heavens, and they were looking forward to having a meal here at noon tomorrow.

In the morning of the next day, a water sign was launched at the entrance of Haibawang to warmly celebrate the birthday of the old man xxx, and a line of small characters was added below it: "Foreign guests are not welcome at noon".

Early in the morning, Ah Hai, Yu Lu and the temporary chef started preparing the lunch dishes. Liu Haoyang came over early and also came to the kitchen to help.

Around ten o'clock, the guests began to come, and the temporary waiters also arrived, and their boss Zhong Yanhong was with them.

Yu Lu was a little surprised: "Boss Zhong, you don't want to jump over the wall right now, do you?"

Zhong Yanhong talked to Yu Lu with a smile, but he was looking at Liu Haoyang: "No, I have nothing to do, come here to help, it's free, is Boss Yu welcome?"

Yu Lu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he could only say, "Of course you are welcome."

Liu Haoyang was helping to peel the preserved eggs. At this time, with a sudden force, he crushed the preserved eggs in his hand.Ah Hai happened to see this scene, turned his head to look at Zhong Yanhong, and smiled, so it turned out to be the case.
