The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Chapter 102: Just to have a good time, get engaged quickly!

Following Fang Chang to the second floor, Jiang Wensheng looked at the place curiously.

"Is this also Boss Su's property?"

Fang Chang pointed to the words on the door, "This is a newly opened small dining table. Recently, the city will move kindergartens and other things to the development zone. Boss Su's business sense is definitely good!"

Li Mingtao: Thank you, this is my business sense!
  Jiang Wensheng looked at the incomprehensibly large cubicles and canteen, "It's just a small dining table. Is it necessary to make it so big?"

Brother Fang Chang said as he walked, "You don't know this. In addition to small dining tables, this place also serves as a canteen. There is an employee of the company opposite who eats here every day. Otherwise, I say we have to come early. Come on." It’s too late and those animals can buy all the buns and eggs.”

Gee!
  Jiang Wensheng thought it was amazing. Boss Su not only cooked the food himself, but was also responsible for customizing delicious food on the 19th floor. It was obvious that he specialized in high-end dishes.

On the second floor, there are small dining tables on one side and ordinary big pot rice on the other. The business development is really different from ordinary restaurants.

"Boss Su should be in the kitchen now, let's go in and take a look!"

Jiang Wensheng stopped and asked, "Is it appropriate to go directly to someone's kitchen?"

Brother Fang Chang thought for a while, "Well, I'll go in and tell Boss Su first. If he agrees, we'll go in."

Jiang Wensheng nodded and found a seat near the kitchen door to sit down.

"Boss Su? Boss Su!"

Su Chen looked over in the direction of the voice, "Fang Chang? So early?"

Brother Fang Chang rubbed his hands and walked up to him in embarrassment, "Damn it! You're not my father-in-law. I couldn't sleep all night after eating your cooking yesterday. I just wanted to come and watch you cook."

"Boss Su, look."

Su Chen did not speak, but was wearing his badge while holding the chopsticks to find a suitable force.

Seeing that Su Chen was silent, Fang Chang immediately lowered his voice and said in a very humble tone, "Boss Su, if you can help me, this will be done for me!"

"When I get married, I'll have a banquet at your place. We'll charge two thousand yuan per table! Do you think that's okay?"

"What did you say?" Liu Abao turned to look at Fang Chang, "Two thousand per table?"

Brother Fang Chang gritted his teeth, "If it doesn't work, two thousand five thousand!"

Liu Abao took a breath.

He was not surprised by the price, but was very interested in it.

When he first started learning from his master, the wages offered to apprentices by restaurants were very low, so Liu Abao looked for help from restaurants that specialized in banquets.

As for the big banquet, it tastes a little better, but that doesn't matter.

I have been doing this for five or six years. While learning skills from Lu Yongliang, I worked as a banquet chef in major hotels. ,

Liu Abao's reputation gradually spread, and he became a popular chef at wedding banquets. Naturally, his net worth also increased.

So when he heard about making a banquet, Liu Abao became interested, "If you really come to Boss Su to do something, I will be able to help you, and the food will definitely be no problem!"

Fang Chang knew that Liu Abao was also good at it, "As long as it can be done, I will definitely do it here. I don't like the food from other places!"

Su Chen heard the two people chatting so happily, and felt that it would be really good to have a hotel where they could host banquets.

It's just that the investment in that thing is too big. If you want to do it well, you can't do it without [-] million.

I can't think about it for the time being. It's easy to talk nonsense if I take too big a step.

"Just let them in. It's not a secret anyway. It's okay to take a look."

The video has been recorded, so Su Chen hid these dishes without any preparation. Anyway, if he wants to make it big, sooner or later those who visit the store will figure out the recipe.

"Thank you!"

Brother Fang Chang happily ran out to call his father-in-law, feeling very happy in his heart.

Brother Fang Chang has a thorough understanding of the wedding banquet. Everything about Chinese and Western styles and the appearance of the bride are all nonsense.

The guests who come to the wedding banquet only care about when the banquet will start and whether the food will be delicious.

If it tastes good, they will give the wedding a thumbs up, and they won’t remember it forever because of how stunning the bride appeared.

Of course, if conditions permit, Brother Fang Chang is still willing to spend the money.

After a while, Jiang Wensheng and Fang Chang came in, while Jiang Yuan and Yuan Suzhen stayed outside chatting.

"Boss Su, it's really intrusive to come so early."

Su Chen smiled, "This shows that you approve of my cooking, I should be happy, but Mr. Jiang, I have to make breakfast first, and then I can make those Jingzhou dishes. I won't be making Huaiyang dishes today." Food."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Jiang Wensheng glanced at the cutting board and was puzzled by the four hundred eggs placed on it.

Is there such a procedure for making tea eggs?

Su Chen took a deep breath, holding the chopsticks in his right hand, and wanted to use his white jade hand several times. The feeling was so fascinating!

But finally held back.

It only comes once a day. If it's really not needed, Su Chen feels like it's better to use it in the food practice room.

Bang bang bang bang!
  A familiar voice appeared, Su Chen's feet moved quickly, and the chopsticks in his hand hit the eggs accurately at every moment!
  Jiang Wensheng looked more and more puzzled. There were so many raw eggs, why were they beating them?

Could it be that it was done just to make a sound?
  Brother Fang Chang knew the secret, so he deliberately didn't say anything, preparing to shock the old man when he ate eggs later.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Every time Liu Abao sees Boss Su cracking eggs, he can't help but praise him like this.

He has secretly practiced this skill many times in private. Although he can master the strength now, he has to concentrate and the speed is extremely slow.

For someone like Su Chen, who almost doesn't need to think before just tapping, it will definitely take many years of practice!

Four hundred eggs can be cracked in just a few minutes.

Su Chen and Liu Abao worked together to put the eggs into the Coke, plug in the thermometer, and then hand them over to Liu Abao to take care of.

'Cola? ’

Jiang Wensheng was surprised again by Su Chen's whimsical idea, boiling tea eggs with cola, what kind of operation is this?
  Could it be that Boss Su used this strange idea to make those Huaiyang dishes?

Later, Su Chen began to guide Abao in making oily pork.

With the experience of helping the cook the day before, Abao quickly processed the required ingredients. Su Chen only had to stand by and guide him throughout the process.

"Slippery, you have to feel what slippery is. The purpose of the meat in the oil pan is to use the oil temperature to make the meat reach a medium-rare state, but it cannot make the outside of the meat dry."

Abao was sweating profusely from what Su Chen said, and he was concentrating on thinking about the heat required to achieve this situation.

Fortunately, Su Chen did not directly interrupt during the production process, which also shows that there is nothing wrong with what Abao did.

Then comes the frying.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say about the frying step. The meat slices have already reached six-cookedness. You only need to stir-fry the base oil until fragrant, and then fry the meat slices until they are eighty-cooked."

This is also the secret to the smooth and tender taste of oily meat. If it is fried until it is fully cooked, it will lose that texture.

"But considering that we are making a staff meal for Xinghui, I think it would be better to add potato chips?"

Doing so can reduce costs, and of course, the prices of dishes can also be reduced accordingly, making it easier for ordinary office workers to accept it.

"That makes sense, then I'll get some more potato chips."

In the same way, the potato slices in the dish of oiled meat and potato slices also need to be oiled first, and the texture is somewhat similar to meat.

It's soft and chewy when you bite into it, and it tastes delicious without any burnt or crispy feeling.

After preparing the potatoes, Su Chen had nothing to guide him. He only had to point out what seasonings needed to be added from time to time. When it came to frying, Abao's skills were definitely up to par.

As a circle of vinegar around the pot evaporated, Abao's eyes lit up, "It's done!"

Su Chen used clean chopsticks to pick out a potato slice.

Salty, fragrant and glutinous, the potato slices fried after being cooked in oil taste particularly fragrant. Because they are fried in lard, the meat is also full of flavor.

It can be said that this dish has definitely reached the A-level level.

Now the only S-level delicacy that Po can copy is the big meat buns, because that is almost a fatal step, and you can never go wrong as long as you follow the steps.

But this kind of stir-fry is not very good. There are too many details to consider.

After making this dish, Bao stayed by himself for a while, going over the causes and consequences of this dish several times in his mind, and then he said, "Okay, boss, let's start the next dish!"

Su Chen nodded and began to teach Abao how to make the black meat stew. These two dishes are both A-level dishes. The secret to the stew was discovered accidentally after Su Chen used Bai Jade Hands.

So there was nothing strenuous about doing it this time, and Abao learned it very quickly.

After settling everything, Jiang Wensheng felt that his stay was in vain.

After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything. The two dishes have one thing in common: the ingredients are first cooked through oil and deep-fried, and then stir-fried and braised for seasoning.

It looks ordinary, but tastes delicious.

This is not what Jiang Wensheng wants to see.

In this case, Jiang Wensheng said, "It's a pity that I can't see Boss Su cooking those Huaiyang dishes today. I'll just have breakfast with my family first."

Su Chen smiled, "Generally speaking, if there is no order, I won't cook such serious dishes. They are not suitable for the current company's situation."

It's a bit troublesome to make that kind of dish. Su Chen and Liu Abao are also very busy. The key is that they can't sell it for much money.

If you customize it, you can charge a high price, but if you make it into a restaurant, you can't set such a high price. Su Chen still understands this.

After Jiang Wensheng and the others left the kitchen, Su Chen said to Abao, "Both oily meat and dark meat stews can be cooked in a large pot. Although the taste will be a little worse, it is a staff meal after all. As long as it is affordable, It’s not a big problem.”

The taste will be a bit different, but it’s actually not much different.

"A serving of oily meat and potato slices will cost 20 yuan. The portion is about two-thirds of that in a restaurant. For stews, we can give more, and the price will be set at 18 yuan."

This price includes service fees.

Even in the canteen on the second floor, Su Chen will still charge [-]% of the dish price as a service fee. This will be a feature of the company in the future.

For employees, you can't always use sentiments and pie to encourage them. That kind of thing only comes once in a while.

It is still necessary to make employees feel that their wallets are getting richer. This is the most direct way to retain good employees.

After everything was done, Su Chen went back to the 19th floor to sleep in his cage. This was also an old tradition.

After a good nap, it's usually time to go to work.

Inside the canteen.

Brother Fang Chang generously ordered 20 steamed buns, 20 eggs, and 4 bowls of millet porridge.

"Can you eat so much? Forget the eggs, the buns are so big." Jiang Yuan has never eaten the buns here, and she feels that she can only eat one at most given her appetite.

"It's okay. If you can't eat it, you can just take it home and eat it." Brother Fang Chang felt that it was not a big problem.

Jiang Wensheng was still upset about not being able to see Boss Su cooking Huaiyang cuisine, "Boss Su just said that if there is no customization, he generally won't cook those dishes, right?"

Brother Fang Chang took a bite of the bun and said vaguely, "That's it. I've only seen Boss Su cook a few times in person. If everyone comes to order from him, then he will be too tired to hold on." .”

Jiang Wensheng asked thoughtfully, "How much did you spend on our meal yesterday?"

Brother Fang Chang was stunned.

He was a little afraid to say that six dishes cost five thousand yuan. If he told this, anyone would feel like a fool.

But only Brother Fang Chang knew it. He had heard that when Mr. Ling entertained guests before, he spent a total of [-] yuan on more than a dozen dishes!

After all, I still got an advantage.

So Brother Fang Chang told the initial price, "It's not much, only three thousand yuan."

"What!!!" Jiang Yuan had just peeled an egg, "Three thousand? Are you mentally ill!"

Brother Fang Chang comforted his girlfriend, "Didn't you forget that we came here to eat the lion's head and Wensi tofu, and we spent five hundred? It's not much money, and the most important thing is that everyone has a happy meal."

But, three thousand, that’s it!
  Jiang Yuan still felt a twinge of pain. She had automatically assumed the role of a wife and felt that spending Brother Fang Chang's money was spending her own money.

She works in a trading company and her monthly salary is only [-]!

Jiang Wensheng nodded, "Those dishes cost three thousand, plus the business model of Delicious Food, it's not too expensive."

For Jiang Wensheng, no amount of money is too much as long as it tastes amazing.

Because there is a very simple logic here: if it’s too expensive, you don’t have to eat it.

"So, if we want to see Boss Su cook again, we have to make another custom order?"

"It seems like this." Brother Fang Chang nodded.

I'll admit it if I spend [-] to host you two. If you say you spend another [-] just to watch cooking, Brother Fang Chang will feel a little sad.

Jiang Wensheng didn't touch the buns and eggs. He thought for a while and turned his eyes to Fang Chang, "How are you discussing the marriage with Yuanyuan?"

"Pfft!" Brother Fang Chang almost choked to death with a mouthful of eggs, "Marriage?"

Is this too sudden?
  Shouldn't the two families find a serious place to sit together to discuss this kind of thing for a long time, and then finalize it?
  Why did you suddenly start talking about it while eating breakfast?
  "Haven't we discussed it yet?"

Brother Fang Chang swallowed the egg in his mouth. Don't be timid at this time!
  "We've discussed it! We've discussed it! Isn't this just waiting for you to speak? Our family has already prepared it! This time I invite you two here because I want to say this."

After saying that, Brother Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Jiang Wensheng nodded, "The engagement shouldn't be too shabby. In addition to our old couple, we will also have Yuanyuan's uncle and aunt here."

Afraid that Brother Fang Chang wouldn't understand, Jiang Yuan whispered, "The uncle is my father's brother. You have met him."

Brother Fang Chang thought hard, "Is that the director of the museum?"

When she went to Yangzhou before, Jiang Yuan took Fang Chang to visit the Xia Guo Huaiyang Cuisine Museum, and it was there that she met Jiang Yuan's uncle.

"Yeah, he's the curator now, and he used to be the chef of our restaurant."

hiss!
  Is there such a thing?
  Jiang Yuan continued to whisper, "My uncle is very powerful. After helping my father to build the reputation of the restaurant, he took a back seat. He said that the times are developing too fast and he has no apprentices. Instead of letting his little effort lead him, Instead of putting them in coffins, it is better to make them into specimens for future generations to see, which can be regarded as a contribution to Huaiyang cuisine."

After saying this, Fang Chang remembered.

The uncle's name is Jiang Wusheng. When he went to the museum, he also read the life of the curator.

About ten years ago, Jiang Wusheng was a famous Huaiyang cuisine cook in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At that time, he was running the ancestral restaurant with his brothers.

Later, Jiang Wusheng left the restaurant and jointly founded this food-themed museum with the local government and some entrepreneurs.

It not only displays the history of Huaiyang cuisine in front of the world, but also collects famous chefs from all walks of life and their famous skills in the museum.

It has to be said that, both literary and military, these two brothers have devoted their lives to Huaiyang cuisine.

Jiang Wensheng continued, "Whether Yuanyuan's brothers and sisters can come here depends on their own time."

Yuan Suzhen is an only daughter, and Jiang Yuan has no uncle.

"It's basically these people. If you get engaged, you don't need to look at the date. I just look at the 15th of this month. There are still two weeks."

Fang Chang became more and more confused as he listened.

No, uncle, shouldn't I discuss these matters with my parents?
  "Well, it's settled then. We'll have the engagement party here, and if we go there, we'll have it in our own restaurant!"

Brother Fang Chang tried to interrupt several times, but he couldn't. The old man seemed to be talking to him or talking to himself.

But it’s always a good thing!
  The seven-year long run has finally come to fruition!

It must be my sincerity this time that impressed my uncle!
  Oh no, it’s my father-in-law!

In fact, Fang Chang and Jiang Yuan could have gotten married a long time ago, but Jiang Yuan always said that she hoped that her marriage would at least be unanimously approved by both parents, and that everyone would be happy.

She didn't want to force her parents to agree.

Fang Chang then worked hard to earn money, in order to get the recognition of the other party's parents as soon as possible.

Now that he heard Jiang Wensheng's words, Brother Fang Chang was a little proud and a little moved.

"Uncle, thank you for your recognition."

Jiang Wensheng didn't seem to hear Fang Chang's words, and was still talking to himself.

"Well, in this case, everyone is basically here. If we hold the engagement party earlier, we can see Boss Su cooking earlier. We can also show it to my eldest brother, eh."

Brother Fang Chang swallowed the last half of his words.

No, Uncle Yue, why don't you say it again?
  After doing this for a long time, you don’t approve of me. Do you really approve of Boss Su?

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

If you don’t accept this, why don’t you have another daughter and marry Boss Su?
