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

Chapter 233 Aunt Fang is not easy
Su Chen only mentioned the banquet hall matter to Ling Shuyu, saying that it could be put on the agenda.

This building is so tall, and only a few floors have been used until now. Nowadays, Su Chen, a famous cuisine restaurant, plans to arrange four cuisines on each floor. For the time being, two floors are enough.

Of course, the so-called banquet hall can only be built on one floor. After the guests are seated, it is impossible for them to go to other places to eat.

If the 500-square-meter area is well decorated, it will be at least a medium-sized banquet hall. It is definitely one of the best in Jingzhou, but it is a bit inadequate when looking at the whole country.

But no matter what, this matter can only be discussed later. The top priority now is to organize Aunt Fang's son's college entrance banquet beautifully.

Judging from the reactions of the guests that night, although this banquet was basically made according to Cantonese cuisine, it was unanimously approved by everyone.

There is basically nothing to criticize in terms of taste, which also makes Su Chen's last hanging stone fall to the ground.

An ordinary night ended like this.

The next day, early in the morning, Su Chen directly called Zhang Heping from the home-cooked restaurant on the third floor and Old Seventeen to the nineteenth floor to help.

If he just prepared a banquet, Su Chen could handle it himself.

According to Aunt Fang's wishes, there were ten banquet tables on the 19th floor. This was not a task that could be completed by one person.

Fortunately, in addition to these two, the Jiang brothers also took the initiative to join in, which also made Su Chen feel a lot more relaxed.

Everything is so busy and orderly when it comes to delicious food. Every time the Jiang brothers can work in the kitchen, they can't help but sigh: Boss Su is really the most organized chef I have ever seen.

Prepare the ingredients, process the ingredients, mix all the ingredients and condiments required for each dish according to fixed portions, and then categorize them.

When making it later, all the ingredients and condiments are at your fingertips. Because of these preparations, you don't need to think too much at all, you can just rely on muscle memory.

The two Jiangs have been cooking for a lifetime, but they have not been able to develop this habit. Instead, now that delicious food has come, they have begun to try to develop such a good habit.

If their little thoughts were known to Su Chen, I'm afraid Boss Su would laugh at them loudly.

'You have so many apprentices and assistant cooks, of course you don't need them. '

On the other side, Jingzhou City, Development Zone, Mingsheng Garden.

This is the only residential area in the development zone, and the advertisement advertised during the construction period had only two words: luxury.

Wherever Mingsheng is, there is the comfort zone of the city.

The people who can live here are basically unemployed. But the fact that there is no job does not mean that the level is not good. On the contrary, almost all the people living here do not need to work!
Why else would they spend so much money and buy a house in a development so far from the city center?
Obviously, Aunt Fang is one of them.

But in comparison, Aunt Fang is restless. Instead of competing with her neighbors at home every day, she might as well find a job by herself, not only to move her body, but also to earn some extra money to improve her family's living conditions.

At this moment, there are eight small three-story Western-style buildings on the lakeside of Mingsheng Garden.

Aunt Fang took a rare day off and entertained relatives and friends who came to the development zone in advance at home.

The previous waves of people were already sitting and chatting in other rooms. Aunt Fang happily got up and opened the door when she heard the doorbell.

"Oh! Lirong, Xiujuan, Shuhua, you are rare guests, come in and sit down."

The three women at the door give only one impression at first glance: luxury.

On the surface, it looks like a lazy and comfortable outfit, just a long-sleeved loose dress, but for some reason it gives people a luxurious feeling.

It probably has something to do with the GUCCI hanging on their arms.

If you look carefully, you will find that whether it is the earrings or the jewelry hanging on the chests of these three women, they are not the kind of products sold in boutiques outside that cost tens of dollars.

"Oh, Sister Fang, I have been waiting for your son's college entrance banquet for a long time, and among our sisters, you are the slowest."

Aunt Fang held Li Rong's hand, "Who asked me to get married the latest. Come on, sit down and talk."

The three women walked in together, looking at the house as they walked.

"Since you moved to the development zone, we sisters haven't had a good get-together. Your house is nice. Did you spend a lot of money on it?"

"Hey! Li Rong, what are you talking about? Is this money still called money to Sister Fang? Those buildings in the development zone all belong to her family. Oh, by the way, the building over there lost a lot of money, right? I I heard that the rent on the first floor is only 150,000 yuan a year. Sister Fang, you need to increase the rent!"

"That's right, how can anything be so cheap? How can a 500-square-meter floor cost 500,000 yuan a year in rent?"

Aunt Fang just smiled kindly, "What the hell, I'm not making any money, just to leave some family foundation for Xiaobin. If he can't find a job after graduation, he will have to come back to feed his old age. Today's children just won't let him Don’t worry, sir.”

In conversations between women, the edge is always hidden in the dark.

When Li Rong heard this, she smiled softly, "Xiao Bin, this kid is trying his best, but it's a pity. How come a student who almost got into Qingbei doesn't know how to repeat a year? It's such a pity."

Aunt Fang's mouth twitched.

Xiaobin's college entrance examination score was only ten points short of being admitted to Qingbei, but the child himself said that even if he could be admitted to Qingbei, he would still have to major in military industry. With Aunt Fang's temperament, this kind of thing would be left to chance. The child came on his own.

She and the old man will never interfere with Xiaobin's own hobbies and decisions.

Is it possible that we really want our son to go out and find a job after graduation?
But there is a big difference between being able to get into Qingbei by just a few points, and being admitted to Qingbei but not going.

Hearing what Li Rong said, Aunt Fang took a deep breath and continued to maintain her kindness, "Why don't you say that this kid is not living up to expectations! Why don't your family, Junjun, go study abroad directly after graduation, and then he will be a returnee from overseas?"

Li Rong's smile suddenly stopped.

The smiles of the other two sisters also appeared on their faces.

As we all know, Li Rong's son Junjun scored more than 300 points in the exam last year. In order for him to get a diploma, he had to spend a lot of money to send him to a school in Canada.

Everyone said nice things at the college entrance banquet, and secretly said that anyone could go to that school, as long as they were willing to spend money.

In real comparison, Xiaobin, a pure first-class military major in the domestic undergraduate program, can be said to be an existence that even the rich would envy.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xiujuan, who was traveling with her, began to change the topic, "Oh, by the way, Sister Fang, you just said that we would come to your home for today's college entrance banquet, and you didn't say where we were going. When I left this morning, I heard that Jingzhou Hotel It’s been booked, so it’s you who ordered it, right?”

Jingzhou Grand Hotel may be one of the few state-owned hotels now, but the investment unit behind it is Jingzhou City and it is a municipal enterprise.

As the oldest hotel in Jingzhou, it is located in the most prosperous area of ​​​​the city center of Jingzhou. From the outside, its decoration looks a bit like the palace courtyard of the past, and its style is incompatible with the surrounding modern high-rise buildings.

Not surprisingly, its simple name and quaint decoration have become one of the landmarks of Jingzhou, and it is also the best choice for business banquets for wealthy people in Jingzhou City.

After all, the unit price of 28888 per table sounds scary.

Before Aunt Fang could speak, Shuhua said, "How can Sister Fang be so good at going to Jingzhou Hotel? It must be Jingtai at least, right?"

The Jingtai Hotel is different. This is a newly built hotel.

Even if ordinary people go in, the average person in their fifties or sixties can eat well.

But there are also banquets worth tens of thousands per table.

Jingzhou Hotel serves almost all local dishes, while the newly built Jingtai has hired chefs from all over the country, and its cuisine is obviously more popular.

The two have their own merits, but what they have in common is that choosing this place represents identity and status.

Aunt Fang smiled and said, "It's not Jingzhou Hotel or Jingtai. Our college entrance banquet is in the development zone."

"Development zone?"

The three women were stunned.

Shuhua said, "I remember the TV news said a few days ago that there is a hotel in the development zone. Isn't it in your building?"

"Ah?" Li Rong looked very shocked, "No way, Sister Fang, you just take us there to eat? Isn't this too disrespectful of Xiao Bin's college entrance banquet?"

Immediately she turned her head and looked at Xiujuan, "You just said that the Jingzhou Hotel was booked. I remember, didn't your husband have a good relationship with the chairman there? Go and talk about us moving to another place. My eldest nephew is going to school. The banquet has to be decent, right?"

Shuhua also began to persuade, "Yes, Sister Fang, you are also the eldest sister in our circle. Not only to save some face for your son, but at least to save some face for your family. The person here today is not the chairman of the board. , he’s the general manager there, let’s be decent, your guy’s face also looks bright, right?”

It's a pity that the employees of Delicious Food are not here, otherwise my jaw would be dropped.

But it is true.

Aunt Fang's old man is a well-known real estate developer in Jingzhou, and the area where Su Chen is located is her old man's masterpiece.

Including Mingsheng Garden, they are all the property of Aunt Fang's family. When he first undertook the construction of the community, the old man specially designed a three-story small foreign-style building with a single courtyard by the lake.

Not for anything else, just because Aunt Fang likes to plant tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. outside the door.
The old man is usually busy with work and rarely cares about things at home. Xiaobin goes to school and is away from morning to night. Aunt Fang doesn't like to play with jewelry and clothes with the ladies of the old man's friends. She just likes to be at home by herself. Plant flowers and plants, and some vegetables.

Don’t worry about what you feed your son!
By the way, I can find a cleaning job in my building. I can not only look after the building but also earn some wages. I don’t know how wonderful this is.

Why do these people think it's stingy and undignified?

This is also the reason why Aunt Fang doesn't want to spend more time with them. Comparing with these people, how can the chatting of the group of children from Delicious Food be as interesting!

Especially Zhang Li, Aunt Fang likes to listen to her talk, silly.

Hearing what these people said, Aunt Fang still just smiled kindly. She didn't mean to be angry at all. "It's just these dishes. Those big restaurants are so expensive. Isn't it because of the face and service they sell? Say something from your heart.”

Aunt Fang paused, she was so gentle from beginning to end, "This restaurant in the development zone is very good. Not only does the boss there have good craftsmanship, but the ingredients are also real good. There are many officials in our city." I love eating there, and many big bosses also like to go there. ”

That Li Rong laughed sinisterly, "Okay, okay, we know you are frugal. When I came here, I saw the boss of Jingzhou Hotel also brought his cook, and the boss of Jingtai also brought his cook to come to you. Congratulations! Just don’t make people feel miserable.”

Aunt Fang's smile finally faded.

Forget the weirdness just now, you all know that the owners of two big hotels are coming here to congratulate me, and they deliberately asked me why I didn't go to these two hotels. Isn't this intentional?
"We, as a family, love to go out and treat guests to dinner. We enjoy the meal and are willing to make friends with the chef. It's normal for their boss and the chef to come to congratulate us." Aunt Fang is no longer interested in this conversation.

She raised her hand and glanced at her watch, "Ah! It's getting late, we should set off. By the way, the restaurant also provides pick-up and drop-off service, I think it's time to arrive now."

After that, Aunt Fang got up and walked to the door, "You guys talk first, and I'll see if the restaurant's car has arrived."

Seeing Aunt Fang walk out, the smiles of the three women suddenly disappeared.

"What are you talking about? It's not because my husband is richer than us, or because our son's exams are better than ours. What's the point? You go out to work all day long, and you don't know who to show off to."

Xiujuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Fang is just like this."

Shuhua held Li Rong's arm and said, "I heard about it. Her old man invited a lot of powerful people this time, including the office director of urban construction, the environmental protection section chief, and that one, oh, Anyway, she invited a lot of great people, but she booked such a hotel, I’ll see how she ends up!”

Li Rong pursed her lips and raised her chin, "Don't talk about these people, I'm afraid she can't even resist the chefs from those two restaurants. They are actually recruiting chefs from all over the country. I heard that there are a few chefs at Jingzhou Hotel The chef has been studying with some state banquet master for several years, I’ll see how she ends up.”

Only Xiujuan sighed, "You are obviously quite rich, why can't you book a better hotel?"

"Yes, he also provides pick-up and drop-off services. Who cares about him? Are those cars rented from outside?" Li Rong saw several cars parked outside the door from the window.

Are they all Rolls-Royce?

You know, there are not many cars like this in Jingzhou, and most of them can only be driven by coal bosses, jewelry bosses and the like.

"It must be rented. Is it possible that they can still have a relationship with Director Zhang who runs a coal mine in the city?"

The three of them laughed twice, then stood up and followed Aunt Fang out, preparing to go to the hotel.

Outside the door, inside the car.

Zhang Li looked at the small villa opposite and said, "I'll go, Aunt Fang, can you live in such a luxurious place?"

"You don't know this." Bai Xiaobo's voice came out on WeChat on his mobile phone, "I heard that no one bought this area after the development zone was completed. The prices of these houses were shattered. Look at it. Luxurious, I estimate that this small house on the third floor only costs 500,000 to 600,000 yuan!”

"Oh, so that's it." Zhang Li leaned on the steering wheel and stared at Aunt Fang who was walking towards her.

Zhang Jiayi's voice also appeared in the WeChat group, "Everyone, please be careful when driving! Although these cars are insured, I borrowed them from friends after all, so if they get scratched, it won't be troublesome."

"Got it!"

Several people’s messages were sent to the WeChat group one after another.

Zhang Jiayi nodded with satisfaction, and Boss Su's status in her heart couldn't help but become higher.

Originally there was no pick-up and drop-off service, but Su Chen mentioned it in the morning.

Aunt Fang, a cleaning lady, is so diligent. As an absolutely outstanding employee in our company, her son is going to hold a banquet for entering college. Do we have to give Aunt Fang a good reputation?
And Su Chen is still talking about it.

Aunt Fang didn't know what was going on at first, but she was tricked into buying a house in the development zone. As a result, it was not only difficult to find a job in this area, but there wasn't even a serious supermarket. I guess Aunt Fang had a hard time in the past few years. Not very good either.

The only consolation for such a mother is that her son has been admitted to a good university, so let's make her look good and let Aunt Fang have a good face!
As a result, Zhang Jiayi contacted her girlfriends who had been working out with her before, and borrowed several Rolls-Royces in a matter of minutes, and also drove the Coaster at home.

Then there was this scene.

But Zhang Jiayi tilted her head and watched the guests starting to get on the bus.

'Why don't they look shocked? '

Zhang Jiayi originally thought that these people would be at least shocked when they saw such a car, and then they would gather around Aunt Fang and praise her.

As a result, all these guests got into the car calmly because of Mao. It was not until the door of Zhang Jiayi's car was opened that the girl put away her messy thoughts.

Step on the accelerator and head slowly towards the direction of the delicious food.

But in the company, Su Chen still overestimated his own strength. He thought that he could serve thirty tables at the wedding banquet before, but these ten tables are not enough?

As a result, he had been busy since the morning until it was almost eleven o'clock. Su Chen glanced around and there were still many dishes that were not ready.

'Damn, I'm really careless this time! '

If you think about it carefully, at Liu Shengnan's previous wedding banquet, many dishes were prepared in advance and then steamed, or braised in advance.

But today is different.

Most of the hot dishes here are seafood dishes. In order to ensure the quality of the food, they must be processed and made on-site.

This directly caused Su Chen to be busy all morning and still had a lot of dishes to finish.

"Quick, call Ah Wu!"

If I remember correctly, Ah Wu learned Cantonese cuisine back then, and it was precisely because of his superb Cantonese cooking skills that he was spotted by Feng Yaoyang and was directly recruited as his personal chef.

"Okay!" The Jiang brothers were also anxious now.

They use Huaiyang cuisine, and they can handle the ingredients well, but when it comes to the cooking stage, they are overwhelmed.

"Boss, Uncle Lu told Teacher Cui to arrive at the company at twelve noon."

Su Chen didn't even raise his head and said to Liu Shengnan, "We don't have time today, let them take a taxi back."

"Okay." Liu Shengnan opened his mobile phone and booked a taxi in advance. "Teacher Lu and Teacher Cui said that it is not just the two of them who are coming back this time, but they are also bringing others with them, so I will arrange accommodation in advance. ?”

"Well." Su Chen didn't have time to talk nonsense, "You can just handle these things yourself."

Liu Shengnan nodded and hurried out of the kitchen.

I was still wondering what was going on today. I had never seen the company so busy before.

Not daring to say more, after making simple arrangements, Liu Shengnan originally wanted to ask someone to help him move his things.

But when he thought about it, everyone else was driving to pick up the guests, so he had no choice but to stamp his feet.

"Is it easy for me?"

He turned back to the 19th floor and ducked into Su Chen's office. There were countless silver-white cans stacked in the corner.

Here is what the boss calls "home-brewed drinks", and everyone was amazed after tasting them the night before.

Mr. Gong even said on the spot that he wanted to invest and build a factory. This drink must be given a chance to be shown to the world!
But these ideas were declined by Su Chen on the spot.

In Boss Su’s words at the time, “These drinks are quite expensive, and it would be difficult to increase sales if they were made and sold.”

Nonsense, a can of Coke costs 30 yuan, how much should it be sold for?
Would anyone really be willing to spend a hundred dollars on a bottle of delicious Coke?

Since there was no one in the company, Liu Shengnan could only move things from the office and put ten cans of drinks on each table.

Working in an orderly manner, Yummy Lai finally welcomed the first wave of guests at today's college entrance banquet.

It was Aunt Fang and his wife, Zeng Guofeng!
