The story of a cook

Chapter 254 Three thousand seven hundred and eighty dollars
On April 28th, the new recipes, chilled seafood, and smoked flavors were launched together, and He Yuxuan was completely revised and upgraded.

Everyone in the kitchen was very excited, waiting for the arrival of the first table guests.

Zhao Gang and Zhang Jun made a bet on what the first hot dish would be.

Zhao Gang said it was "braised pork with chestnuts and dates", while Zhang Jun said it was "braised big fish head".

Zhou Ming said: "I guess the first dish is spicy stir-fried flower clams."

The results came soon, and Boss Cao handed over a large yellow croaker from the dish delivery port in the kitchen, and said, "It's open, one big yellow flower, braised at home!"

Although they didn't guess right, everyone was still very happy. With the arrival of the first dish, the prelude to lunch was kicked off.

It's not particularly busy for lunch, but it seems very busy because most of the dishes are new.The main reason is that the iced fresh fish is served, and the stewed fish takes longer. It feels slower than the daily serving speed, but there is no phenomenon of guests urging the dishes.It is estimated that the customers also know that if the fish is delicious, it will take a long time, and if the time is short, it will not taste good.

I am happy that three big braised fish heads were sold at noon, four big yellow flowers were sold, and a few spicy fried small seafood.At that time, fish heads cost nine yuan a catty to buy, and 25 catties to take out. Each fish head cost about four catties, and three fish heads cost nearly 300 yuan.

The cold dishes are also sold very well. The smoked taste is smoked when the meal is almost ready, and it is still steaming when it is put out, so it feels good to the guests, so order more, and the smoked taste is more than twelve o'clock They were all sold out, and the second child asked if I wanted to smoke more, I said no, I would smoke again after dinner.

The noodles and dumplings are also very good, and the dumplings with three delicacies are the best sellers. Some tables ordered a second order after ordering one, which shows that they are delicious.

At around [-]:[-], all the dishes were prepared, and they got off the stove and came to the food delivery port. At this time, the guests who came early had already finished their meals, paid their bills and left.The waiter began to move down the table, and saw that there were only bones left over from the plate of fish heads eaten by the customers. Seeing this situation, he smiled, knowing that it was a happy smile, proving that the fish heads he made were delicious, and the customers recognized it, so there was a little A small sense of accomplishment.

Judging from the number of guest tables who come to eat at noon, there are not many tables, which is almost the same as before, and the attendance rate is 60.00%. It is said that it can break through 400 at noon.If it exceeds 3000 at noon, [-] at night is no problem, and [-] yuan for that day is guaranteed.

Boss Cao came to Chuancaikou, and I asked, "Brother Cao, can you sell it for [-] at noon?"

Boss Cao was also very happy, and said, "I just got off the bar on the second floor and sold it, and now it's more than 100, and there is still a big table and a small table that haven't been paid yet."

I said, "It's selling well." Then I asked, "I haven't heard from customers that our food is expensive?"

Boss Cao said: "No, I didn't say it was expensive. I stood at the bar for a while, and when I paid the bill, I didn't say it was expensive. He said that our food is better than before." Then he said with a little excitement: "The one served today I looked at the fish heads from table to table, and they were all quite clean. There was a table of old customers from our family, and they ordered one. I asked them how it tasted, and they said it was delicious, better than stewed fish head cakes."

I said: "That's good, as long as it tastes good, it proves that we are not wrong."

Boss Cao said: "The smoked flavor is also sold very well, and the customers responded that it is delicious." Then he said: "Tanzi, there are too few. No more, smoke more next time, guests like to eat smoked taste, it’s just right to eat a pig’s trotter with some wine.”

I said: "Don't increase the quantity for the time being, let's sell it for a week, and then increase it appropriately. This way, it's good to sell short, not waste, and it can still attract customers. If you want to eat next time, come earlier, no, it's delicious. rare."

Boss Cao smiled and said, "Tan Zi, you have studied it thoroughly."

I chatted with Boss Cao for a few more words, and then went back to the kitchen to check.

The second child is preparing to smoke the raw materials in the afternoon, and starts cooking.

Zhou Ming said: "Brother Tan, I need to buy two better scalers. Now that the fish are starting to be sold, the scalers don't work well."

I said: "Write it down when you pull out the menu at night, and mark it as good."

Zhou Ming said: "Well, I still need to open a few pairs of string gloves. Wearing string gloves is easy to use when picking up fish. It won't slip or scratch your hands."

"Let's drive together." I said, "By the way, you can go to the front booth later to see how many fish heads are still there, save two good-looking ones for the evening display, and bring back all the rest and pack them up in advance."

Then he said to Zhao Gang: "Zhao Gang, after the fish heads are cleaned up, we will fry them out, so as to save time wasting."

Zhao Gang said: "Okay, master, how many fried?"

I said: "Three, at least three, will be stewed by 04:30."

"Master, can it be fried or stewed?" Zhao Gang hesitated, and said, "If it's not sold at night, will it be braised for nothing?"

I said, "I'll pay if I can't sell it at night, and I invite everyone to eat the fish head."

Zhao Gang said, "Okay, I got it."

Zhang Jun asked: "Master Tan, is it true or not?"

I said, "Am I joking?"

Zhang Jun said: "Then I can tell the waiters in advance, tell them to order less fish heads, and strive for the remaining one or two, so that there will be fish heads to eat at night."

Zhao Gang yelled at him: "You just know how to eat, then you can eat the remaining plate of fish bones, and keep it for you."

When I came to the pastry room, Xiao Zhao saw me coming in and said, "Master Tan, I was just looking for you. The dumplings with three delicacies are sold at noon, and there are not enough leeks left. There are not enough for the evening. If not, I will cut today's leeks tonight." Bar."

I said: "No, sell as much as you have left, and estimate when it is sold out. Don't use today's leeks. We must ensure the quality and taste."

Xiao Zhao said: "I see that today's leeks are almost dried out at night, so there is nothing wrong."

"No, listen to me, if the boss says you can ask him to find me." I said.At this time, on the first day after the adjustment of the Sanxian Stuffed Dumplings, the quality must be guaranteed, and it must not be sloppy.It is estimated that Xiao Zhao is afraid that the boss will say something about her when the dinner is sold out at night.

Xiao Zhao said: "That's fine, it's good to have your words, I'm afraid the boss will say me."

"It's okay, I'm still here." Then he said to her seriously: "Remember in the future, as long as it is about the quality of the dishes in the kitchen, you must listen to me. Whatever standard we set is the standard. If you don't change it, even the boss will not change it." no."

Xiao Zhao said, "I know Master Tan."

I said, "How is today, are you busy?"

Xiao Zhao said: "I'm busy here, just these six things to save trouble, don't be busy when you're ready."

I said, "Xiao Zhao, I tasted your whole sauerkraut stuffing, it was delicious."

Xiao Zhao asked: "Master Tan, do you need to adjust the sauerkraut stuffing?"

I said, "Very good." Then I asked her, "What kind of oil do you put in the sauerkraut stuffing?"

Xiao Zhao said: "I put large oil and seasoning oil."

I said: "Sauerkraut likes oil, especially big oil, which is fragrant. But there is one thing, that is, it is okay to eat big oil while the dumplings are hot. It doesn't taste good anymore."

Xiao Zhao said: "Yes, I also feel the same way, but if you don't use more oil, it won't smell good."

I said: "Look, can we do this, boil the raw soybean oil to get rid of the beany smell of the raw soybean oil, and then add large oil, the ratio is two to one, one catty of soybean oil is half a catty When heating the oil, put some scallions, ginger, aniseed ingredients, and Chinese prickly ash to fry it, it will not only be fragrant, but also tasteful, and at the same time it will not be greasy, how about it.”

Xiao Zhao said, "Okay, I'll try."

I said, "Also don't use the seasoning oil you used to make dumpling stuffing, use it as cooking oil for hot dishes, you use the seasoning oil for hot dishes, the seasoning oil for hot dishes is more fragrant and more flavorful than yours."

Xiao Zhao said: "I also know that the seasoning oil I fry is not as good as yours, and I want to use yours for fear that you will criticize me."

I said: "Use it, no one will tell you, there are only a few people in our kitchen, and we are a family behind closed doors, regardless of yours or mine, use whatever you want."

Xiao Zhao said: "Well, I will change it in a while."

I said: "Also, the sauerkraut stuffing you made has less chopped green onion and minced ginger, so add some more. When you make it, remember that you can't add any oil to the meat stuffing. The meat stuffing is just meat stuffing. There is no oil, only when adding sauerkraut. It’s time to refuel, which is the point of dumpling stuffing.”

Xiao Zhao said: "Oh, the minced meat I made has oil in it."

"Don't put any more in the future." I said: "Also, there is old soup on the side of the hot dishes, remember to add old soup to it when making meat fillings, don't add water, remember?"

Xiao Zhao said: "Remember, I promise not to add water and add old soup, as long as no one tells me when I go to make old soup."

I said, "No one will tell you, just go and fight."

Coming out of the pastry room, he told Zhao Gang that he would also use seasoning oil and old soup for hot dishes in the future. Zhao Gang said that it was okay, and he could use whatever he wanted, as they had been prepared for her in advance.I am relieved about this, because Zhao Gang, Zhou Ming and Zhang Jun, including the second child, all know how to cooperate, needless to say.

Xiao Zhao is very smart, but she has a little idea, and there is still a little gap with everyone. I brought all the people in the kitchen, but she is not. I am worried that I will replace her.It's normal to have such a mentality. After all, we haven't worked together before, and we haven't gotten close enough to become a family.The adjustments to her dumpling fillings were also guided little by little, and they were all improved in a short time, for fear that she would not be able to bear it.

In the evening, I was quite busy with the meal. I went to the stove at [-]:[-] and came down at [-]:[-]. All the fish heads that had been stewed in advance were sold, and there were not enough to sell.

The dishes are like this. They are delicious and well received by customers. The waiters are willing to order and recommend them to customers.If the dish is not well done, the waiter is unwilling to introduce it to the guests. After the introduction, the guest will be the first to scold if the dish is not good.If it's delicious and the guests like it, the waiter will be the first to praise it.I will tell the waiter: "The dish you introduced is very good. I will order this dish again when I come back next time. Next time, I will bring my friend to eat with me." More efforts to introduce to the guests.

In addition to fish heads selling well, other seafood is also selling well.The rhubarb flowers are sold out, as are the flower clams and cockles. I will start to estimate the smoked smell at the second child's side at [-]:[-]. When I think about it, it's gone.

The waiter described: "The guests all regretted it, saying that they would come earlier tomorrow, and ordered the pig's trotters and chicken feet."

Seeing this effect is still very rewarding.

On the first day of the new revision, the turnover was 780 yuan.
