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

Chapter 250 Lao Lu: Imitate Su Chen and Become Su Chen
After Lu Yongliang processed a fish, he placed mushrooms, cooked ham, and winter bamboo shoots on the fish, poured Shaoxing wine and shredded onion and ginger, and put it directly into the steamer.

Wang Laoer, who was originally frightened, suddenly relaxed his guard.

I thought to myself that this steamed sea bass is the restaurant's signature dish, and I have seen it hundreds of times if not thousands of times.

If you follow the old man's method, there really isn't much to say about this fish, it's just an ordinary steamed fish.

And in order to ensure that the taste of each fish is consistent, the restaurant's back kitchen has long used a temperature-controllable steamer. As for the temperature and how to change it in the middle, these are the secrets of the own chefs.

If the old man does this, he will probably lose to his own chef.

'One thousand yuan isn't much, but it's very satisfying if you fail in the gymnastics competition! '

Wang Laoer thought silently, and plated the walnuts in his hand again, and the worry on his face just now eased a little.

At this moment, after Lu Yongliang put the lid on the pot, he quickly ran to the fish tank and fished out a fish.

Wang Laoer suddenly stopped smiling, "Didn't you say you only cook one fish? There are not enough fish in my restaurant to sell every day. What do you mean?"

Lu Yongliang came back with the fish and grinned, "This is how you have to cook delicious fish. Ten times the price of one fish is one thousand, and ten times the price of two fish is two thousand. If I lose, you have to pay me according to the price."

These words left Wang Laoer speechless.

Lao Lu quickly performed the fish killing performance again, and then brought a knife.

I thought to myself, the first time I saw Su Chen cooking fish, he steamed two fish at once.

The soup from one of the fish is used to stir-fry the sauce, while the other fish is thrown into the air on the plate.

Later, after tasting it, Shang Mingke also said that although the taste and texture of the two preparation methods are quite different, the fish cooked by Boss Su tastes more indescribable. It is this feeling that is hard to describe. , putting Lu Yongliang’s steamed fish at a disadvantage.

Lu Yongliang was almost certain that the source of that flavor was the reason why Su Chen steamed two fishes.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity today, Lao Lu simply followed Su Chen's example and gave it a try. Anyway, it would not be worse than what he had directly steamed!
The first fish is served directly on the steamer with good condiments.

For this second fish, Lu Yongliang began to change his knife.

It is still his best method of opening the fish knife. He cuts the fish piece by piece, leaving a little joint between each slice until the belly of the fish, and then connects the head and tail, and the whole fish spreads out like a peacock spreading its tail. Come.

In the past, this fish would lie on the plate with its tail open like this.

But not today.

Lu Yongliang used two toothpicks to string up the fish head and tail and connected them to each other. He immediately put the whole fish straight up and stood it up!

This fish is like an open arch, which is very beautiful just by looking at it.

Wang Laoer's brows became more and more compact.

He didn't understand. It was just a fish. Is it useful to make it so fancy? Does it mean that fish standing up tastes better than fish lying down?

Don't say Wang Laoer doesn't know.

Lu Yongliang didn't know in his heart, he just knew that this was what Boss Su did when he first met Boss Su a few months ago!

Since Xiao Su did this, it means there must be a reason. Lu Yongliang is going to give it a try today!
According to his personal habit, he puts ham slices, mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots in the middle of the open fish fillets.

Onion and ginger shreds were sprinkled scatteredly on the fish, a high-covered pot lid was taken, and a pot stove was borrowed, and the standing "open-tailed fish" went into the steamer.

Lao Lu clapped his hands. This dish is not finished yet.

Steaming fish is a test of the heat. Su Chen has reached the point where he can feel the size of the steam in the pot through the steamer. Lu Yongliang thinks that he is not capable of this. He stares at the steamer carefully for a while, until the heat stabilizes. Get a wok.

Digging some white lard into the pot, it was not time to turn on the fire yet. Lu Yongliang stretched and turned to look at Wang Laoer.

"Boss, this fish will be ready soon, shall we discuss the terms now?"

Laughed.

Wang Laoer really smiled, "You want to negotiate terms with me?"

Lu Yongliang nodded, "I have already made clear the conditions for my loss, then if I win."

Wang Laoer held the walnuts and waved his hand, "Pull him down, you can't win."

Lu Yongliang said with a smile, "I still say what I said, if I win, you give the three of us a job. My salary requirements are not high, a daily salary of 3,000, and they both have the same."

Wang Laoer:? ? ?
He couldn't believe what he just heard. He tilted his head and looked at his lobby manager, "Did I hear you correctly? What he said was daily salary? Three thousand? Not monthly salary?"

The lobby manager was also confused.

If it was enough to confuse her to find trouble, then this salary of 3,000 per day was going to stop her!

What is the concept of a daily salary of three thousand?
Monthly salary of 90,000.

After the manager was confused for a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "Boss, you heard that right. This master is talking about a daily salary of 3,000, and it's the three of them. All of them are this salary."

After saying that, the manager looked at Lu Yongliang with a smile, "Old sir, there is no such salary standard in Qinzhou. Unless you are a state banquet chef, it is absolutely impossible for us to offer this salary."

Oh, that's how it is.

Lu Yongliang nodded. This was all what he expected. After all, a monthly salary of 90,000 yuan was really outrageous, but the three of them only worked for three days, which meant they earned 30,000 yuan.

But Lu Yongliang didn't intend to earn these 30,000 yuan in vain. He planned to leave some skills to this restaurant.

The kind of technology that is enough to change a hotel's turnover is not something that can be obtained with 350,000 yuan.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. Isn't the fish not ready yet?"

Lu Yongliang looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and after waiting for another minute, he quickly took out the first fish that had been steamed into the pot.

Wang Laoer stood on his toes and pulled his neck, sniffing hard, but he didn't find anything unique about the taste of this dish.

It’s not even an exaggeration to say that the food is not as good as this chef’s!

Just watch Lu Yongliang put the steamed fish aside, and put the other pot on the stove directly. The lard in the pot began to melt at a very fast speed. When the oil temperature was 50% hot, he put the fish on the plate. Pour all the fish soup steamed into the pork!

Turn on the fire and the soup in the pot will start to boil in an instant.

Lu Yongliang's movements were clean and neat. He poured a spoonful of chicken fat into the soup and sprinkled some MSG and a small amount of pepper.

The pot was boiling like this and I ignored it. I walked to the steamer of the second open fish and opened the lid!

The meat pieces of the standing open-tailed fish are obviously mature. The meat pieces that were originally a little soft are now in an unusually plump state because no condiments have been added, just some shredded green onions and ginger are sprinkled on top. The color of the meat slices looks like white jade, and it feels unusually tender just by looking at it.

Lu Yongliang carefully took the Kaiping fish out of the steamer, scooped the boiling sauce in the wok with a spoon, and slowly poured it over the fish.

The boiling hot sauce is poured on the fish fillets, as if they were cooked for the second time. The tender fish meat now looks a little shrunken on the surface.

The lard melted in the soup also hung lightly on the fish meat, making the fish fillet look a little shiny and oily.

Lu Yongliang picked up all the shredded green onions and ginger on top with chopsticks and threw them away. "It's ready to serve."

Wang Laoer frowned, crossed his arms over his chest and pinched his chin, staring at the fish standing on the plate, the piece of meat looking like a flower.

"Lao Zhang, how are you doing?"

On the other side, Chef Zhang turned the spoon in his hand and poured a spoonful of rich soup over the fish. "Okay, serve!"

The lobby manager trotted over and said, "Let me help serve one."

The waiter brought Lu Yongliang's fried fish, and the two stopped when they reached the kitchen door. The manager looked around the hall and finally his eyes fell on a round table.

There were six people sitting at the table, a young couple, an older couple, and two children, a boy and a girl.

It was obvious that a family of six came out to eat. This kind of family combination was not uncommon in restaurants like Yujingyuan.

Many families nearby who want to splurge on a meal at a restaurant at noon choose to eat here just for the steamed sea bass.

Wang Lao Er nodded, "Okay, send it to that table. Explain the situation clearly so that the customers don't think we are cheating them."

It must be said that although Wang Laoer looks a bit like a social person, he is still very considerate of his customers when doing business.

Lu Yongliang and his group also stood at the door and looked into the distance. Anyway, this door was a side door and would not affect the preparation of dishes in the kitchen.

Chef Zhang took a look at the order nailed to the wall and felt that not too many people ordered fish for lunch today, so he simply steamed ten fish at once and then went to the side door.

"What do you think, Lao Zhang? This old master wants to challenge you. Do you have the confidence?"

Chef Zhang glanced at Lu Yongliang who was crowded at the door. After carefully examining him for a long time and making sure that he had never seen this person before, he said, "When it comes to cooking fish, I'm afraid the old master will lose."

Lu Yongliang glanced at him with a smile and said, "Don't be impatient. Just wait and see how the customers react."

In the hall, the manager and the waiter came to the table for six together.

"Hello~" the manager interrupted the family's chat in a very sweet voice, "Today we have an event in our store. This fish is what you ordered. This fish is given to everyone in our store. You can enjoy it for free, but after eating it, you have to give an evaluation of our two fish today. Do you think it is convenient for you to participate in the event?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

I thought, is there such a good thing?

Instead, the old man nodded repeatedly, "I said that Yujingyuan's business will get better and better in the future. It's good to try new dishes and listen to customers' feedback in a timely manner. Of course we have to participate, haha, we'll give you a free fish~"

The manager put down the fish plate in his hand, and the four adults looked at the two fish.

"This fish is well cooked. It looks good and there are many varieties. At least it's better looking than the ones I've eaten before." The young wife started to comment before she even started eating.

Even managers have to admit this.

The restaurant’s previous steamed fish was cut open from the belly and placed lying on a plate, with ham slices and mushrooms placed around the fish body, looking more like garnishes.

The fish cooked by Lu Yongliang stands on the plate with its head and tail connected, making it look more three-dimensional. Slices of ham and mushrooms are sandwiched between the fish slices.

The three colors of white, black and red complement each other, and are indeed superior in color.

The manager kept her professional smile.

What’s the use of beautiful colors?
Good looking does not necessarily mean good taste. Chef Zhang’s steamed fish has stood the test of the market and has been the store’s best-selling dish for three consecutive months. Otherwise, it would not have become the top-selling dish in Yujingyuan today!
Because of what they had said before, the whole family did not feel disgusted even though the manager was standing here.

The old man picked up the chopsticks and tried the Kaiping fish as his first bite.

He picked up the ham slices, mushroom slices, and a piece of fish meat together, and exclaimed in surprise, "If this fish is cooked like this, it will not only look good, but it will also be easy to eat. You guys try it."

Several people began to try.

As expected, the chopsticks only needed a little force to easily pick up three kinds of ingredients at once, and after all four of them had picked up the fish, they found that there were very few pieces of meat on the bones under the fish.

This is awesome.

The old man put all three ingredients into his mouth at once.

"Well."

He didn't even have time to chew before he felt the fish meat seemed to melt in his mouth. It slid around in his mouth smoothly before being caught by his teeth and gently bitten.

fresh.

The old man chewed slowly, savoring the food.

This was a kind of freshness that his taste buds had never experienced before.

Tender, this tender and smooth taste is like a freshly slaughtered fish, which is cooked immediately after being cleaned, and the fish meat comes into your mouth immediately after it is cooked.

There is no unnecessary process in between.

The fish meat was just cooked to perfection. One second more would have been a bit tough, and one second less would have been a bit raw.

This feeling.
The salty taste in the mouth is even more wonderful. This salty taste is not the salty taste we usually feel. It is an indescribable salty taste that has surpassed the old man’s taste buds.

Delicious! The old man finished the meal in one bite and immediately took another bite of the fish on the plate.

"This fish is really good, beauty. Is this the fish cooked by your new chef? Give it a thumbs up." The middle-aged man ate the fish with a smacking sound, and his mouth was not idle while eating the fish.

"It's really delicious!" The woman also ate non-stop. "I feel that this fish meat has a bit of the flavor of ham and mushrooms. It combines all of them together. It tastes much better than the previous method."

As he spoke, he took two more bites of meat.

Four adults share a fish.

To be honest, it only takes four or five pieces of fish for each person to eat, and the fish is cooked so deliciously, as if everything has been considered for the customers. You just need to simply use your chopsticks to pick it up.

Unlike the other fish, you have to tear it with chopsticks.

In less than five minutes, the fish was cleaned up, leaving only the bones and the head.

At this time, a weak voice whispered: "Mom, I want to eat fish."

Another little girl also raised her head innocently with big eyes, "Daddy, eat fish."

The man looked at the fish bones awkwardly, "Uh, it's okay, there's still a fish."

The old man's eyes widened. "You're the only one who's busy eating. My grandchildren are starving! Get lost! Hurry up and order me another one of these blooming fish. Who wants to eat a crawling fish?"

The man felt a little aggrieved and a little angry.

Am I not your son?

It's okay for grandparents to be close to each other. Weren't you just busy eating? Didn't you forget about your son?

Then isn’t it normal that I forgot about my son and daughter?
But he didn't dare to say it.

The seven wolves in their childhood are still vivid in my mind.

The man had no choice but to turn around and look at the lobby manager with a smile, "Well, give me another one of the fish we just had."

The lobby manager was stunned for a long time, and after saying "oh" several times, he finally said, "How about you guys continue to taste this fish? After all, this is our hotel's event today, and you guys have been chosen by us to become lucky customers."

Oh yes.

Several customers then remembered that the fish was indeed given for free, but it could not be eaten for free.

In addition to eating, they also have to comment on the food.

The old man took the lead in picking up a piece of the crawling sea bass with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and took a sip.

"Hey! I'm confused. I used to think this fish was delicious. Did you change the chef today?"

The man also took a bite and ate it. "Something's wrong. Why does it taste so slimy? It's not at all like the refreshing and tender fish I just had. What's going on? I remember it wasn't like this before."

Similarly, the woman also took a bite, and her reaction was even more intense.

"Pah, pah, pah, why does this fish still smell fishy? Are you guys teasing us on purpose?"

The woman simply spat the fish into the bowl, wiped her mouth with a tissue for a long time, and said, "Besides, this fish is neither salty nor sweet. You guys didn't deliberately make the previous fish worse just to launch a new one, did you?"

The lobby manager didn't expect the customer to react like this.

I was shocked.

The problem is that the fish you ate before is the same fish you are eating now. Why did it taste so good when you ate it before, but not now?
She looked again at the fish, of which only the bones were left.

Could it be related to this?
Indeed, sometimes when you have eaten the delicious food of the same thing, you will find that all other foods taste terrible.

This is what the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. But the question is, is this fish really that delicious?

The lobby manager smiled faintly, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report the situation to the boss. Our other dishes will be out soon, please eat first."

After saying this, she trotted back to the side door of the kitchen under the expectant gazes of several customers.

"What happened?" Wang Laoer asked with concern.

The lobby manager looked at Lu Yongliang and opened his mouth several times but said nothing.

There are so many people here now. If she directly says that the customers don’t want to eat Chef Zhang’s fish at all, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of Chef Zhang and Boss Wang?
It also gave the old man room for bargaining.

As a qualified manager, you need to consider your boss in all aspects!

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wang Lao Er said angrily, "If you have something to say, just say it! What happened? What did the customers who tasted the food say? I saw you guys were talking a lot over there just now. Who won?"

The manager glanced at Lu Yongliang with her eyes, but still didn't dare to speak. After thinking it over, she just whispered, "The customer asked us to hurry up and serve the food."

Both Mr. Wang and the other were dumbfounded.

What's wrong with this girl today? I promoted her to lobby manager because I thought she was smart and nice. Why is she not so smart after encountering this incident today?

Is it so difficult for you to speak?
Wang Laoer, who was impatient, pushed the lobby manager aside and said, "Get out of the way. I'll go talk to the customer myself!"

The lobby manager stretched out his hand to pull the boss, but saw Wang Laoer already rubbing walnuts and swaggering towards the round table.

And Lu Yongliang leaned against the door frame confidently.

"Old Liu, there shouldn't be any problem on my end. You have to think of a solution for yourself."

Liu Guochu glanced at Chef Zhang and said, "It's okay, they will know it later!"

Yujingyuan has absorbed famous dishes from all over the country. The top dish is fish, while other stir-fried dishes are slightly weaker.

What Hunan cuisine is least afraid of is stir-frying!
Several people stood at the door, looking at Wang Laoer from afar, waiting for a final answer.

Qinzhou, Happy Egg Fried Rice, outside the door.

"Boss, isn't it a bit unfair for us to do this?"

He Shuting finally finished the last stroke on the cardboard box.

There were a few big words written on the torn beer box.

【Super Happy Egg Fried Rice: 188 yuan/portion】

Behind them is the restaurant’s signature dish: Happy Egg Fried Rice.

Su Chen shook his head, "You don't understand this."

He said confidently, "Think about it now. If you open a restaurant and you can make 500 yuan a day based on normal sales, but suddenly one day someone tells you to buy goods from your restaurant, you only need to do half of the previous workload, but you can make 5,000 yuan a day! Are you willing?"

He Shuting put her finger on her chin, "It seems like I am willing."

Su Chen nodded, "That's right."

He looked at the staff filming and said, "Director Sun, I have a request now. I personally don't think it's too much. Please take a look."

Sun Xiaoting waved his hand. "Just tell me whether you want to ask for something or not."

Su Chen pointed to the things on the ground.

"The tools I have selected are a wok, a spatula, a gas stove, etc., but I have a problem, that is, I like to use my own tools when cooking. I sent a courier before I came here, and it should have arrived by now. I want to replace this wok and spatula with my own tools. Is that okay with you?"

If it’s okay, it’s okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not okay. Su Chen was just asking tentatively.

Sun Xiaoting thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be a problem. They are just pots and spatulas, so it doesn't matter whose they are. Then we can help you pick up the package?"

Su Chen shook his head. "No need. I can go by myself. Oh, right. There's no need to shoot this part. Let's get back and start working."

Sun Xiaoting didn't think much about it, but just reminded Su Chen to be careful on the road.

Su Chen turned and walked into Happy Egg Fried Rice, "Boss, can I buy something on credit?"

The man looked at Su Chen warily, "What do you mean?"

Su Chen laughed and said, "We are all here anyway, I will sell you a few bottles of Coke on credit and give it to you when I make money."

The restaurant owner looked at He Shuting and Ling Shuyu outside the door with suspicion. He felt that young people dressed like this should not be scammers. Even if they were scammers, would it be fun to cheat him out of a few bottles of Coke?

But he still said very cautiously, "Then I can only give you nine portions of rice later. When you pay me back, I will give you the tenth portion."

Su Chen laughed a little. This boss was really vigilant. But he was also a small business. It was boring to argue with him. "Okay, three bottles."

He took out three bottles of iced Coke from the refrigerator and shared them with Ling Shuyu and He Shuting. "Director Sun, if you want to drink, pay for it yourself! I'm not well-off today, so I won't treat you all."

Sun Xiaoting waved his hands speechlessly, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

But I think Boss Su is quite interesting.

Just now Sun Xiaoting learned about the situation through the work group, and other groups have basically started to take action.

Cui Yufen is doing a good job and has started to attract customers.

Lu Yongliang took a different approach and actually challenged a big hotel!
It was Jiang Wusheng. I don't know what he was thinking, but he actually took two little girls and started making trouble in the park. This is really puzzling.

Could it be that this great god has some hidden card up his sleeve?
Boss Su’s side is also quite interesting.

I bought cooked rice and eggs directly from the restaurant that sells fried rice, and I paid a very high price.

Then they set up a stall in front of someone's door.

This is not the point. The point is that Boss Su is actually selling fried rice at a sky-high price at people’s doorstep.

Sun Xiaoting thought he would not buy the 188 yuan fried rice. No matter how delicious it was, it was still fried rice, right?
Could it be that it’s so delicious that it’s heavenly?
"Only a fool would eat such expensive fried rice, right?"

Sun Xiaoting said silently in his heart.

Looking at Su Chen's back as he tilted his head back to drink Coke, Sun Xiaoting felt for the first time that there might be something wrong with the plot design of this game.

Logically speaking, we should let Boss Su win, which would be more in line with the audience's expectations.

Given Boss Su’s willful behavior, I’m afraid the program crew will have to pay for their accommodation in Qinzhou later.

Oh, I don’t know what Boss Su is thinking.

I guess he thought this was in his company.

Sun Xiaoting didn't think any more and continued to film He Shuting and the other person.

"tons tons tons tons tons tons"

Su Chen walked while tilting his head back and finished drinking the Coke.

"It just doesn't taste as good as the Coke from the vending machine."

But it was very hot at noon, so it was still very happy to drink a bottle of iced cola.

Walking out of the street, Su Chen turned into an empty corner.

His expression was slightly startled, and a frying pan and a spatula appeared out of thin air in his hands.

"It's up to you today!"

The chef set is back.

Looking at the extravagant iron pot and spatula, Su Chen felt a little excited.

When SSS Egg Fried Rice appeared on the streets of Qinzhou City.

What kind of scene would that be?
