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

Chapter 248 All four groups are quite weird

The tools Su Chen got were very simple, just a frying pan, a ladle, a kitchen knife, a cutting board, and a stainless steel basin.

When I took the stainless steel basin, Cui Yufen asked me jokingly, "Are you going to wash your feet in the park with this?"

Su Chen smiled and said nothing.

What do you ordinary people know?
After getting all kinds of equipment, everyone dispersed at the command.

Jiang Wusheng stood in front of the bus in confusion and asked Zhang Li and Liu Shengnan, "Where did they go?"

Zhang Li stamped her feet in anger. "I said they had already figured out a plan in the car, but we were just waiting there like idiots. Now look what happened. We're already behind at the beginning!"

Jiang Wusheng touched his head in disbelief.

Something's wrong
Is there something wrong with what I am thinking?

Isn't this a survival game? Why did you all just run away? Did you really take the hundred dollars and start a business?

Nowadays, if you start a business with one million yuan, you will fail. How can you start a business with only one hundred yuan?
Jiang Wusheng smiled.

It seemed that he was the only one who truly understood this game. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Li, "Let's find a park with a better environment first, and you will know later."

Then he said to Liu Shengnan, "Find a wholesale market and let's go buy some supplies now."

Jiang Wusheng thought very clearly.

It's only three days. Buying some noodles, some soy sauce and salt will cost less than 30 yuan in total, which is basically enough for three people to eat for three days.

The three-day period is up!
He took out seventy yuan!

At that time, people like Su Chen who chose a set of cooking utensils would have to beg me to give him some money to buy a hamburger, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wusheng's face suddenly showed a hint of excitement for no reason.

Liu Shengnan and Zhang Li looked at the captain's inexplicable smile and had no good ideas for the time being. They could only follow the captain's instructions.

And at the same time.

The other teams that had finalized their plans also began to take action.

Cui Yu assigned Bai Xiaobo to go to the construction site that had been determined in the car to check out whether the area nearby was suitable for setting up a stall.

She went to the supermarket near the construction site with Zhang Jiayi.

"Among our Shandong dishes, there is one that is actually very suitable for stalls."

Zhang Jiayi became interested and followed Teacher Cui around the supermarket. "What kind of dishes are there? But we only have 100 yuan. No matter what dishes we make, we can't make much."

Cui Yufen smiled mysteriously.

"You don't understand. Strictly speaking, this dish is made in every province, but I personally think the flavor of Shandong cuisine is the most suitable for this dish."

"Hey, Mr. Cui~" Zhang Jiayi grabbed Mr. Cui's arm and shook it left and right, "Please stop keeping me in suspense~ Tell me what the dish is!"

It’s time to say it or not.

Zhang Jiayi already had a great figure, after all, she had been doing body shaping training with Coach Shen.

In addition, girls from wealthy families tend to develop a rather wealthy temperament from an early age, and the clothes Zhang Jiayi wore today were also very interesting.

The loose dark grey wide-leg pants and the baggy upper body suit style, when the buttons are unbuttoned, you can see the belly-baring vest underneath.

She shook her body, showing her wealth and generosity, and the guy who was filming her swallowed his saliva several times.

I quickly changed my position to find the camera angle that best showed off Zhang Jiayi's beauty and figure, and continued filming!
Cui Yufen was originally a very serious person. After being tossed around by Zhang Jiayi, he looked at her helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, it's nothing mysterious. It's just the classic crispy pork in our Shandong cuisine."

Oh?
Zhang Jiayi immediately perked up, "The crispy meat is delicious! Come on, come on, it's all meat. If we set up a stall in front of the construction site to sell it, it will definitely be popular!"

However, Cui Yufen did not go to the meat stall first, but went to the seasoning area first.

"With a limited budget, I can only make a simplified version of crispy pork when I first start, to ensure the basic taste."

Even for the most basic flavor, a lot of seasoning is needed.

Take starch for example. In Cui Yufen’s opinion, starch is the soul of this dish. If it is not thickened, the crispy pork will just taste like crispy pork.

And chicken fat
After strolling around the condiment area, Cui Yufen's basket was already full of condiments.

Zhang Jiayi held the phone and pressed the equal sign on the calculator.

"Teacher Cui, we seem to have gone a little too far."

"How much is it?"

Zhang Jiayi showed her phone to Cui Yufen, "Now I've spent 74 yuan just on condiments."

Cui Yu was not panicked at all, he just nodded silently, "Pork is relatively cheap recently, I just passed by a butcher and it seemed that a pound of pork belly was only 12 yuan. That's about right."

In other words, according to the current budget, the remaining money is only enough to buy two pounds of pork belly.

Zhang Jiayi sighed, "I've never fought such a poor battle!"

Cui Yufen ignored this useless complaint and walked straight to the meat area, pointing to a piece of pork belly on the counter. "I have 26 yuan on me. It's up to you how to cut it."

The butcher was stunned for a moment, then he saw that the butcher was an older lady. She held the meat cutting knife horizontally in her hand and put the meat into a bag and put it on the scale.

"Twenty-five dollars and eighty cents!"

Cui Yufen took the bag and said, "Let's go and pay!"

After paying a full hundred yuan and getting two candies in change at the checkout area, the two of them walked together to the address Bai Xiaobo sent on WeChat.

It was at this time.

Lu Yongliang and Liu Guochu rode their bicycles and quickly arrived at a large hotel called "Yujingyuan".

This hotel looks very luxurious from the outside. The building is made of pure glass and has six floors!

And it can be seen from the LED screen hanging above the door.

This hotel is not the kind of hotel that hosts wedding banquets. It is a restaurant that specializes in business meals and receiving individual guests, but it is more luxurious.

Before coming, Cai Sirong also searched for relevant information on the Internet.

This restaurant has a pretty good reputation in Qinzhou, and it's the kind of restaurant that people would go to if they want to splurge today.

"I said it was reliable. Look, there's a recruitment notice posted on the door!" Lu Yongliang parked the car at the door.

Liu Guochu took a closer look and said, "It's true. But the salary is a bit low."

The recruitment notice on the door clearly states that recruitment is available all year round.

After all, the turnover of staff in places like hotels and restaurants is indeed very high, and for some truly good restaurants, the menu must never remain unchanged; it must be changed at least every two months.

Therefore, there has always been a shortage of chefs from all over the country. As long as you have the skills, you can basically find a job anywhere.

This is also the reason why Zhang Heping was able to roam around the country for more than ten years.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

March into the Royal Garden together.

On a street three kilometers away from them, Cai Sirong sat helplessly on a bench by the roadside, wiped the sweat from her forehead, took out her cell phone, opened WeChat, and found a small group of three people.

"Teacher Liu! Teacher Lu! You must remember to tell me that if you want to recruit you must bring a waiter!"

Bundled application - the latest trick from the genius Lu Yongliang.

As for the players in Group A.

Well, the staff member responsible for following Group A is none other than the program's chief director, Sun Xiaoting.

I saw Su Chen bringing two beauties with different styles into a small roadside restaurant called "Happy Egg Fried Rice".

Director Sun was stunned.

"They come straight to eat as their first stop?"

The staff member following Director Sun scratched his head and said, "I don't know, but this egg fried rice doesn't cost much. I guess Boss Su didn't eat breakfast."

Sun Xiaoting frowned and continued to film.

I really don't understand. Even if you didn't eat breakfast, you shouldn't eat at this time.

It's only ten o'clock in the morning.

Confused, Sun Xiaoting followed Su Chen into the restaurant, and handed the filming equipment to another young man next to him, and instead used a hidden device.

The main point is the truth!!!
After entering the door, a middle-aged woman immediately came up to greet us, "What would you like to eat? There is a menu on the wall."

Su Chen turned his head and looked.

This is a very ordinary small restaurant. The menu is also posted on the wall with a bright red background paper, and the names of various dishes are printed on it.

There aren't many types of dishes, only about a dozen in total.

Many of them are ready-made foods such as braised eggs and braised sausages.

The rest are some simple home-cooked dishes like stir-fried shredded potatoes and vinegar bean sprouts, and the prices are very reasonable.

His signature dish, egg fried rice, costs NT$12 for a large portion and NT$10 for a small portion.

"Boss, your egg fried rice is in a small portion. How many eggs are used?"

The woman was stunned. She thought that this guest who came before mealtime was really picky. He looked well-dressed, but he actually asked her how many eggs were in a serving of fried rice.

But since the customer asked, the woman smiled and said kindly, "Use three for a small portion and four for a large portion."

Su Chen nodded.

Indeed, the items sold in this store are very affordable, but this is also related to the recent price levels.

For some reason, pork and eggs have been very cheap recently. Last time when Fang Chang came to deliver the goods, he complained that the several tons of eggs he had purchased at 3.6 yuan had dropped in price by 20 cents overnight, and he was going to lose a lot of money.

Nowadays, eggs in supermarkets only cost RMB 3.56 per pound.

"How much rice do you use for the smaller portion?"

This question stunned the woman again. "We haven't really weighed it, but it's just a bowl full of it."

The woman picked up an empty bowl from the table and showed it to Su Chen.

This type of bowl is a shallow bowl that is common in restaurants. A bowl of rice like this contains at least three taels of rice.

From this perspective, a large bowl is half a pound of rice.

This amount is definitely enough!

Su Chen continued to nod.

At this time, the woman's husband also came out from the kitchen after hearing the noise.

It looks like this is a mom-and-pop shop.

The woman is responsible for the front of house work and the husband is responsible for the work in the kitchen.

The man came out and wiped his hands. "What would you like to eat?"

Su Chen looked past the proprietress and looked at the boss, "That's right."

He paused.

"A large portion of fried rice here costs 12 yuan. When you make fried rice, you use oil, salt, rice, and eggs, right?"

The man had just been eavesdropping in the kitchen for a long time. He felt that these guests did not seem to be here to eat, but rather to cause trouble, so he came out.

As a result, when he came out, he was immediately asked a question and was confused, "Yes."

Su Chen added, "In this case, you don't have to start the fire. Just give me a large portion of rice, eggs, salt and oil. I'll spend 10 yuan. Is that okay with you?"

The man looked at his wife.

At the same time, I silently did some calculations in my mind.

A serving of fried rice costs twelve yuan, and he can make about seven yuan after deducting all costs.

If I sell it directly to this guy, I can only make five dollars!

But it saves the cost of labor and gas, and most importantly, it doesn't take time. You can just get him a bowl of rice from the kitchen, give him four eggs, and finally some salt and oil.

It seems like I didn’t do anything, but I just earned five dollars?
After thinking it over, the man was a little unconvinced. "What are you kidding? I've seen people bring their own ingredients to our place for processing, but I've never seen people just buy ingredients without processing them. You can't be making a video like the ones on the Internet and teasing me, right?"

At the moment when he was calculating just now, the boss figured out one thing.

This is a good deal!
I sell egg fried rice. My family needs everything except eggs and rice!
If he doesn't have to speculate, he can just sell whatever he wants. Isn't it too easy to make money?

"I'm not kidding. But I'm short on cash right now. I only have a hundred dollars. I'll buy 10 copies from you first."

Listening to Su Chen's words, it really didn't sound like a joke.

The man directly snatched the hundred yuan from Su Chen's hand, as if afraid that Su Chen would go back on his word, and said, "It's settled! I'll go get you food now!"

Su Chen called out to him, "Don't worry. You don't need it now, but I can suggest that you cook more rice now. I will buy it later when I have money."

"Oh, by the way," Su Chen said again, "Do you have a pen? And is that cardboard box no longer needed?"

The boss took the ballpoint pen they usually used to keep accounts from the table and said, "The cardboard box is useless, just take it!"

Su Chen smiled and nodded, picking up a beer carton that had just been opened at the door, "Okay, I'll come over to get some rice from you later."

After walking out of the restaurant.

Director Sun couldn't help but say, "Boss Su! Isn't this deal too bad? If you go to the supermarket to buy rice and eggs, you can buy a lot with one hundred yuan!"

Su Chen didn't say anything, just smiled at Director Sun.

Ling Shuyu explained for Su Chen at this time, "Director Sun, we have limited tools. On the surface, it seems that Boss Su has suffered a loss, but in fact..."

"Think about it, we hired two people to steam rice for us, bought rice, and used their steamers. Isn't that a better deal?"

Sun Xiaoting frowned and thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't figure out the math.

It seemed that what Ling Shuyu said was right, but something seemed to be wrong.
But no matter what, Sun Xiaoting returned to his post and continued to film the behavior of Group A members.

Under Su Chen's command, He Shuting and Ling Shuyu began to write and draw on the back of the beer carton with ballpoint pens. No one knew what they were doing.

Qinzhou, People's Park.

After grunting as he screwed the last screw in, he lay down exhausted on the lawn, looking at the blue sky, his stomach growling.

"Uncle Jiang, are you sure we can beat those three teams like this? Don't forget, we represent Minyan!"

Jiang Wusheng sat on a camping chair, crossed his legs and basked in the sun happily. "Why are we in such a hurry? We can't think of a solution, but do they know how to do it? They may be hiding in the park right now. At least we still have a tent, right?"

Zhang Li rubbed her belly.

Why do I feel hungry even though I have some fat on my stomach?

She was very depressed. "I think Boss Su will definitely not sit still and wait for death! Don't forget, we represent the People's Banquet. If we fall behind, it will be equivalent to holding Boss Su back!"

It would be fine if this wasn't mentioned, but Jiang Wusheng got angry when this was mentioned.

"Forget it! I don't believe that Boss Su can come up with any good ideas. What can he do with all these pots and pans? A hundred dollars is not enough to make a few bowls of egg fried rice. It's useless! Don't let him hold us back in the end!"

Zhang Li sighed, looked at the sky dizzily, and didn't want to talk to Jiang Wusheng anymore.

Since we have to rely on saving to get through these three days, the best way is to move as little as possible to conserve some energy!
Liu Shengnan, on the other hand, was sitting on a park bench with an air of peace and tranquility on her face. No one knew what she was thinking about.

Riverside Bay construction site.

Cui Yufen checked the time on his phone. "It's eleven o'clock now. Xiaobai, is everything you just confirmed OK?"

Bai Xiaobo wiped the sweat off his forehead.

The climate in Qinzhou in November is no different from that in Jingzhou, with temperatures being extremely cold in the mornings and evenings and extremely hot at noon.

"No problem! I talked to the old man at the door for a long time and confirmed that they will get off work on time at 12 o'clock! Teacher Cui, there will be a lot of stalls in this area later, are you sure?"

Cui Yufen snorted, "Just wait and see!"

Similarly, she also chose equipment similar to Su Chen's as much as possible, almost all of which were used for cooking.

I bought two pounds of pork belly, made cuts on both sides, and then cut it into six-centimeter square pieces.

Normally, this dish would require pickling of antlers, but due to limited budget, Lao Cui omitted this step.

Only minced ginger, flour, water-based flour, and an egg were used to marinate the meat.

Lao Cui was very frugal with the small bottle of vegetable oil she bought. She didn't even use a pot and just poured in the vegetable oil with a hand spoon.

Then start heating the oil on a simple small gas stove. When the oil temperature reaches 70% hot, use your other hand to start frying the marinated meat pieces one by one in the hand spoon.

"Help me clamp it."

Zhang Jiayi immediately took action, holding the chopsticks and began to pick up the fried meat pieces from the spoon.

After repeating this process for about ten minutes, the two pounds of meat were finally fried into a golden color.

Cui Yufen placed the fried meat pieces in a steaming bowl, sprinkled it with star anise, soy sauce, a spoonful of chicken oil, and topped it with a few scallions.

Put it directly into the steamer and start steaming.

"Our simple stove can only steam for half an hour at most, which is just enough to make these two servings of steamed meat."

After Cui Yufen finished everything, he clapped his hands and said, "Xiaobai, go to the supermarket now and buy another three pounds of pork and a can of gas."

Bai Xiaobo was stunned.

Didn't you just spend all the hundred dollars?

Let me buy it for free?
Cui Yufen looked at his confused look and wondered what he was thinking.

"It will take you at least fifteen minutes to walk to the supermarket, and five minutes to buy everything. You just wait there, and Jiayi will go over to check out later."

Bai Xiaobo gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go."

I was still thinking about it halfway to the supermarket.

Is Teacher Cui trying to trick me?
What if Zhang Jiayi doesn't come, wouldn't it be stupid for me to wait at the checkout with the meat and the gas tank?

But this is a task assigned by the team leader, and Xiaobai has no better way, so he can only follow the instructions for the time being.

Over here, the water in the pot began to boil.

The two bowls of meat on the steamer gradually gave off an alluring aroma.
