Tool Man's Guide to Getting Rich

"It's not impossible." Lin Siyi's good friend is obviously very rational, and she began to analyze after hearing Xiaopang's words, "When I went to the office that day, I heard the Chinese teacher talking about the school cafeteria. Another... um, another chef?"

She didn't listen to all the information, but only vaguely remembered what the other party said, "The taste should be much better after changing people."The children who had no idea about the term "contractor" didn't know what was going on inside, so they came up with a reasonable explanation.

The children next to him nodded with a vague understanding, and began to imagine: "It would be great if it was true!"

"Shouldn't there be a worse cook?"

Gong Lu didn't tell them about his plan to contract the canteen, but took this opportunity to chat with a few children.

"What kind of dishes do you usually cook in your canteen now?"

What he actually wanted was to inquire about the basic situation. Unexpectedly, the five children didn't mind at all, and they talked a lot.

The dishes are all simple home-cooked dishes, similar to dishes with no technical content such as steamed pork ribs, stir-fried cabbage sum, and steamed eggs.Probably the contractor also felt that this was a bit too perfunctory, and occasionally asked the kitchen staff to cook a few creative new dishes - fried meat with mooncakes, steamed pear with dragon fruit, noodles with rice dumplings, etc.In short, there is no cafeteria that can't do it, only children can't think of it.

The price is quite satisfactory, but the strange taste of the creative new dishes is easy to make people lose their taste. Those home-cooked dishes will also be made mediocre because of the difficulty in controlling the heat of the big pot dishes, and gradually become the favorite among children. "Extremely unpalatable" canteen food.

Gong Lu kept these in mind, and when he was revising the tender at night, he chatted with his father and mother.

"Actually, if you don't make new dishes, there won't be so many people who hate it, right?"

"It's not just that," Lu Xiaoyan knew better, "The reason why that person wanted to make new dishes was to make more money."

Gong Lu:? ? ?

Sending away all the guests, how can you make more money?

Gong Jian also saw the confusion on his face, and explained: "Think about what kind of dishes he cooks? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he started making fried meat with moon cakes, and just after the Dragon Boat Festival, he launched noodles with rice dumplings. These seasonal foods were originally The price will be reduced after the festival, and it will only be cheaper to buy in large quantities. And when it is fried in dishes, the taste itself will not come out very much.”

Seeing that Gong Lu was curious as to why Gong Jian said these things with such bitterness and hatred on his face, Lu Xiaoyan covered her mouth and laughed a few times: "Your father tried their rice dumpling noodles before, and said they looked pretty good. After eating It tastes like noodles mixed with sweet glutinous rice, and because of the extra oil, it tastes particularly greasy.”

In line with the principle of not wasting food, Gong Jian finished eating.As a result, for the next week or so, he couldn't help regurgitating the smell of the cafeteria.

When it comes to the topic of the cafeteria, the two obviously have a lot of resentment.As they talked, they began to help Gong Lu make suggestions.

Gong Lu's craftsmanship is not only his advantage, but also his disadvantage.

Gong Jian analyzed: "Xiaokou will not be able to cook all the dishes by himself, at most he can only make one window. This can be regarded as a bright spot, but have you prepared some big pot dishes for most people? ?”

Gong Lu has also considered this aspect, and he studied it a little while making lunch for everyone these few days.With this period of training, he could feel that he was more skilled in controlling the seasoning and heat when cooking a dish for eight people.

Adhering to the idea of ​​giving it a try, he also tried to make several cold dishes together, and the result was quite satisfactory.

He is already planning to find an opportunity to cook some larger dishes in the next time, watching how to adjust the heat and seasoning.If these two aspects can be quantified, then he can directly find a few skilled chefs and ask them to cook.

Thinking of this, Gong Lu had a new idea.

Today is the weekend, Zhou Yue went to bed a little later than usual yesterday, so that she was a little dazed when she woke up in the morning.She didn't get up immediately as usual, she lay on the bed and touched the phone on the bedside table, turned off the airplane mode and planned to read the news in the ○ letter first.

However, what is surprising is that her mobile phone froze for a while, and it took a while to recover.She watched helplessly as the red numbers representing message reminders became more and more, and finally turned into little red dots.

"Why are there so many message reminders!" Zhou Yue was quite awake, and [-] messages similar to "She died and escaped from the planet overnight: after staying up late, I received [-] messages reminding me to follow up" Such a post made my heart skip a beat: Could it be that she did something shameful in a vague way?

But soon she knew that things were not as she imagined. She did do something when she was in a daze last night, but it was not enough to kill her: she turned off Do Not Disturb messages from the ○ letter group of the two. Yes, the little red dots I received this morning are all messages from the group chat.

"Strange," Zhou Yue said to himself, "Why is it so lively today? Is the boss going to make some new dishes?"

Thinking of this, she quickly clicked into the group chat and started reading the first message.

If there is really a solitaire event, she will also see if she can catch up!

The first few messages were chats among book users. Zhou Yue didn't read carefully, but continued to scroll down, and soon found her target.

It turned out that at 08:30 this morning, the boss issued an announcement that there would be a special event next Wednesday.

"The charm of cauldron dishes..." Zhou Yue read out the name of the event, and after seeing the introduction later, she only felt a little interesting.

She looked at the limit on the number of applicants, quickly pulled to the back to check if there were any places left, and signed up for herself.After sending a message to Li Huishan to ask the other party to sign up, she took a rare look at the chat in the group.

The increase in chat messages is not only because many people post their willingness to sign up in the group, but also because some people chat about the topic of big pot dishes.

Some people think that the taste of big pot dishes is definitely not as good as small portions, but some people think that big pot dishes have their own charm. If you come and talk to me more, the amount of news will increase a lot.

The person who caused this topic, Gong Lu, was thinking about whether to limit the number of people in the event.

Things like cauldron dishes must be reflected when there are more people, but if there are really too many people, it will be difficult to control the flow of people at that time.

He set up this activity to give himself a chance to practice, but he couldn't be so casual that the activity was a mess.

Thinking of this, Gong Lu couldn't help sending a note to the group.

"The price and dishes will be about the same as those in the cafeteria. There are limited places in the store. You can choose to bring your own lunch box to take away. Please confirm that you want to come before registering, because if there are too few people coming, it will be redundant. The ingredients will be wasted."

The dishes he prepares are not special, and the price of the ingredients themselves is not expensive, so the cost is not a problem.It's just that if you really can't finish it, the leftover ingredients are more difficult to deal with.

Someone smiled and offered an idea: "When the event is about to end, if there are any leftovers, you can tell them in the group, and then my brother and I will buy them. Anyway, the event started earlier, and we plan to let people buy them back. For lunch? It just so happened that I bought a lot and used it as an extra meal for the big guys."

This person has always been very active in the group, Gong Lu remembered who he was after a little recollection.This person is a contractor and has a construction team in his hand. The big guys he talks about should be members of the construction team.

He bought cold dishes from Erkou several times, and he was full of praise for Gong Lu's craftsmanship, so he didn't worry that the big pot of dishes would taste bad at all.

No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the meals provided in some stingy construction sites?

A few people came out to echo him, and they quickly changed the subject.Gong Lu took a brief look at the group, said the registration deadline again, and began to study the menu.

The menu doesn't need to be particularly complicated. I only have one person, and at most I can add two helpers, Gao Xing and Sun Mei, so I can't do much.His place is not really a cafeteria, it is actually more similar to some fast food restaurants in form.

Although Gao Xing and Sun Mei didn't know why the boss organized such an event, they had no objection to it and even put forward their own suggestions.

"Isn't it enough for us to prepare five or six dishes? One is meat, two is vegetarian, and the other is half meat and half." Sun Mei thought about their hands-on ability and gave a suggestion.

Happy to agree with Sun Mei's statement: "Boss, in fact, most people only eat two or three dishes, six is ​​not a lot."

Gong Lu looked at the number of people he recorded, and agreed with this statement: "And we must ensure that the food is hot when everyone comes to eat. If there are too many dishes, it is difficult to determine an order."

Although they borrowed a big pot from the landlord next door—it is said that Little Sun Wu’s nursery school rented it here for him—but if they cook too many dishes, the pot is still a little insufficient.

After the three of them discussed briefly, they decided on the menu.After Gong Lu and the others signed up, they called the food supplier to replace the demand list for Wednesday morning.

Everything is ready and only owes the east wind, Gong Lu is looking forward to the arrival of Wednesday.

It's not just Gong Lu who is looking forward to Wednesday's arrival, Sun Mei is also looking forward to it.

She has tasted the boss's craft, which is much better than her own.It happened that my daughter also felt that there was nothing delicious in the school cafeteria, so she signed up her daughter in the group and asked her to have a meal here by herself at noon, so as not to eat badly every day.

If her daughter likes it, she will see if she can learn from the boss.
