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

Chapter 79 New Department: Delicious food comes to the small dining table
  If it doesn't work then.

Su Chen had already made up his mind and took Bai Xiaobo and the others to set up a street stall on the street!
  He cooks the food himself, He Shuting attracts customers, Liu Shengnan collects the money and serves the food, Bai Xiaobo can be responsible for moving things, and Aunt Fang continues to clean the stall.

No matter where you go, you have to be the boss!

Thinking of this scene, Su Chen himself was amused, "By the way, why didn't Bai Xiaobo come to work today?"

"Didn't he ask for leave from you?" Liu Shengnan looked up in confusion, "He didn't ask for leave from me either."

Because Liu Shengnan is in charge of finance and human resources, and is also responsible for recording everyone's attendance, so sometimes he can't come because of family matters or something, so he just needs to tell Sister Shengnan.

"It's strange. You can call me later and ask." Su Chen made arrangements, "It seems there won't be many guests at night. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can go home early."

This is where deliciousness comes in!

Working hours are extremely flexible!
  If something happens, we'll do it; if nothing happens, we'll leave!
  At this time, He Shuting ran over from the work station, "Boss, Director Li said something happened again!"

Liu Shengnan stood up suddenly, "Are you giving us another big order?"

Su Chen frowned slightly.

When Li Mingtao first left, he would check in every few days, but now he has completely disappeared. She already knows that he has joined the company opposite, and Li Mingtao probably doesn't know that he already knows.

When you come to me at this time, could it be that you want to talk about resigning?
  "I don't know. Director Li said he had something to do with the boss, but the boss didn't reply to his WeChat message."

"Uh!" Su Chen was a little embarrassed, "Log in to WeChat on the computer, but the phone won't prompt you!"

I got He Shuting's cell phone. The message on it from Li Mingtao was: "Is the boss here? I'll go over now."

Not long after, Su Chen and others saw Li Mingtao breaking into the company in a hurry.

"Boss! Something's happened, something big!"

Su Chen waved his hand and motioned for Li Mingtao to sit down first, "What's wrong?"

"There is a big order now. It depends on whether our company is interested."

You're not talking about resigning?

Su Chen sat upright, "What big order?"

"Do you still remember that when we were making prepared dishes, we had a lot of relationships with several schools?"

Su Chen knew about this.

Even in Su Chen's view today, the main reason for the company's intensification of bankruptcy was that most of the funds were used for favors.

"Boss, in order to speed up the development of the High-tech Development Zone, the city is now starting to move schools to the development zone."

Su Chen interrupted Li Mingtao, "We are no longer prepared to continue the pre-made dish business."

Su Chen himself didn't like that thing very much, especially if it was provided to the school. It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something went wrong, it would be a disaster.

"That's not the case." Li Mingtao was not in a hurry and continued slowly, "The first to be relocated is the government kindergarten. I have asked, isn't this kindergarten a public school?"

"Then he doesn't provide the service of staying on campus at noon, so the lunch meal of those little children becomes a problem, and not all parents have time to pick up and drop off their children!"

"What do you want to say?" Su Chen immediately thought of a business model.

It’s a small dining table found in many cities.

"We can definitely provide lunch services for children! According to the current market price, we can charge at least 900 yuan a month."

"I understand." Su Chen nodded slightly, "But there is a problem. Our company cannot provide a place for children to rest. Also, we cannot provide pick-up and drop-off services."

"The biggest problem is that one child costs 900, but ten children only cost 9000. We have invested a lot of energy in these ten children."

This is the main reason why Su Chen cannot agree to this plan.

Nine thousand a month, it’s not enough to just cook, and you have to take care of the children at noon, which is definitely not worth the gain.

"Boss, please don't worry." Li Mingtao was speechless when Su Chen rejected him. "I have already said hello to the principal of the kindergarten. He is willing to invest in a school bus, and then we only need to provide lunch and lunch break services."

"As for the venue, I've thought about it. Isn't our company's building empty? The development zone also has a rent-free policy for the first year of decoration. Let's rent another floor!"

"Just make it simple, and then buy some beds for the children to sleep on. The bedding and other things are all brought from home. What do you think?"

Good guy!
  Su Chen was confused by Li Mingtao.

This is not a big business. Are you asking me to open another company?

Director Li opposite was still chattering.

"And these parents come from all walks of life. Some of them sell furniture, and some of them do decoration. Just leave it to them directly!"

Su Chen:? ? ?
  "I have already contacted the principal. If our company can handle this business, at least 110 children will choose to come to us!"

Li Mingtao silently took all the credit on himself.

Liu Shengnan picked his fingers and calculated silently.

What is 110 times 900?

hiss!
  One hundred thousand a month?

Su Chen leaned on the chair, "You've already made arrangements, why are you looking for me?"
  Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, Li Mingtao thought it was Su Chen who was still worried about money, so he continued to promise, "Don't worry, boss, whether it's decoration or shopping, the parents have said it. As long as their children can eat and sleep healthily, , they can make a note first and pay it back within a year! And the materials used are definitely real materials!"

"I think what Director Li said makes sense."

Su Chen turned around and saw that it was Ling Shuyu.

"Our current dilemma is lack of money. This money can be booked in advance. It will not only solve the dilemma, but also give the company a new business, and it is a long-term business."

Su Chen pinched his eyebrows and felt melancholy.

The company in hand is about to close down, and I am still thinking of expanding my territory and opening a new company.

Needless to say, as someone who has never been a boss before, this is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Ling Shuyu continued to express his opinion, "Isn't He Shuting a kindergarten teacher? Just let her take charge of this business. Boss, you just need to decide on the daily meals."

Su Chen suddenly turned his head, "You studied as a kindergarten teacher? Then why did you think of becoming an anchor?"

He Shuting tugged at the end of her hair in embarrassment, "I also want to be in a small garden."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

I am still suitable to have fun with these idiotic employees every day.

"Boss, this is our best chance to turn around right now!" Ling Shuyu was also very tempted.

"Okay." Su Chen stood up and patted his clothes, "This matter"

Everyone looked at the boss.

In any case, only he can make the final decision on this matter. Even Li Mingtao knows very well that the reason why so many parents are willing to come is because most of them like the picture of the state banquet chef.

Without Su Chen, this matter would never have been possible.

"Ling Shuyu is fully responsible for this matter, and Zhang Li is under Ling Shuyu's command. Li Mingtao is responsible for communicating with parents and kindergartens on related matters. When the business starts, He Shuting will manage these children."

Hearing this, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Especially Ling Shuyu, a long-lost arrogance appeared on his face.

"I have only one condition." Su Chen looked at Li Mingtao, "I must receive the first month's fee within three days."

Since you, Director Li, are still hiding your resignation, don't blame me for using you as free labor.

And most of the time, Li Mingtao is really useful.

He is indeed very strong in human relations and communication, especially when it comes to deceiving people.

Sometimes it's not enough without such a person in the company. As long as Li Mingtao doesn't fool him, Su Chen won't make it clear.

"pass it to me!"

Li Mingtao patted his chest to ensure the matter, and was ready to leave immediately.

For the sake of his son Li Zihan, Director Li worked very hard this time.

In fact, Li Mingtao himself also enjoyed the feeling of scolding Fang Qiu and pointing the country.

When the company became quiet again, Liu Shengnan asked with some uncertainty, "Are we really going to do this? Which floor should we choose?"

Others, including Su Chen, were pondering, which layer is more suitable?
  Aunt Fang passed by with a broom, "I suggest choosing the second floor. First of all, the children only have a meal at noon, and there is no need to worry about lighting. Moreover, it is more convenient to do simple decoration and transportation on the second floor. The most important thing is, The height of the second floor is relatively safe. With so many children coming back, they can take the stairs without having to wait for the elevator in batches. Besides, the rent is also cheap."

"Rent?" Su Chen asked doubtfully.

Don’t all these buildings have the same price?
  "Yes, the rent on the second floor is cheaper than the ones above. The 2th to 19th floors are the most expensive."

Seeing that everyone was confused, Aunt Fang smiled and said, "I live nearby and heard about it while chatting with friends."

So that's it. Su Chen nodded, "What Aunt Fang said makes sense. Liu Shengnan is responsible for handling this matter. Just use the existing license. The second floor can be regarded as a newly established department of the company. Let's call it delicious to the small dining table." " Ling Shuyu has been mainly responsible for this matter recently." After a pause, Su Chen added, "This floor is five hundred square meters. When decorating the second floor, the canteen must be large. Remember one thing, don't press Fit it according to the number of children you have, and make it at least twice as big!"

Ling Shuyu was quite puzzled, "Is 1.5 times enough?"

Su Chen shook his head, "Do as I say. You will see how to implement it."

Su Chen's idea is very simple. Since it is made into a small dining table, in other words, it is a big canteen.

We might as well move all Xinghui's group to the 2nd floor to eat. Or come to the 19th floor at noon every day. Those who come early can find a desk to sit and eat, while those who come late can just carry their bowls. Eat standing up.

Some people even tried to go to Su Chen's office to eat, but fortunately Aunt Fang's sharp eyes stopped them.

Those who eat staff meals like this will go to the 2nd floor from now on!
  Su Chen is indeed a little interested in the sudden new job. He was not interested before because he had too little money. Now that he can earn [-] yuan a month, there is really no need to give up.

"Boss, here comes the Dan'er! There are still two Dan'er!"

When Bai Xiaobo was away, Liu Shengnan logged into his WeChat account to contact customers.

"The first one is a meal for one person, hoping to eat fried chicken and tea eggs. The second one is, with a budget of 1, hoping to eat authentic Huaiyang cuisine, for two people."

Su Chen looked at his watch. It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

There's nothing much to say about the fried chicken, but this Huaiyang dish made Su Chen feel a little interesting.

I remember that when he first became an anchor, Su Chen liked to call him "Suzhou and Zhejiang cuisine". It was only after he had been in the industry for a long time that someone told him.

In Jiangsu Province, it is difficult to directly use Jiangsu cuisine to summarize the situation here.

Here, southern and northern Jiangsu have to quarrel, not to mention that when it comes to things like cuisine, they have to be separated.

Huaiyang cuisine, Jinling cuisine, Suxi cuisine, Xuhai cuisine, among these cuisines, it is very difficult to be ranked first or second. Everyone has their own opinions and no one is convinced.

Later, Huaiyang cuisine began to appear frequently in state banquets, and gradually it gained momentum. However, in recent years, there have been more Anhui dishes at state banquets. It is difficult to say clearly which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

So when Su Chen heard that the customer wanted to eat authentic Huaiyang cuisine, Su Chen immediately thought of one thing.

This customer must be from the Huaiyang area, and even if not, at least he has some connection with Huaiyang cuisine.

"The budget is five hundred, so he can eat up to two dishes."

"Is Huaiyang cuisine so expensive?" He Shuting stared with big eyes.

One dish costs more than [-] yuan. Who can afford this?

"It's not that Huaiyang cuisine is expensive, it's that things are rare. It's no exaggeration to say that looking at the whole of Jingzhou, let alone serious Huaiyang cuisine, even less serious Huaiyang cuisine can't be eaten. Of course, the big market costs 8 yuan Except Qian’s Yangzhou fried rice.”

Su Chen's goal is not without purpose. Although Huaiyang cuisine is very famous across the country, there are very few restaurants that specialize in it.

The reason is that the taste is not popular enough.

It cannot be compared with the spicy taste of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine.

"Huaiyang cuisine pays attention to the original taste, and the knife skills are the most delicate, so the workmanship is time-consuming. The taste is bland or sweet. In today's fast-paced life, it is not as popular as Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, "You won't understand even if I talk too much. Okay, Aunt Fang, please go to the big market again. I'll make a list of ingredients for you later."

"Since you said you would cook two dishes, what are you going to do?" Ling Shuyu was extremely curious.

"Of course they are the two most classic dishes." Su Chen has already thought about it. It is a test of a gourmet's skill. Only the classic dishes are the most obvious, "Steamed Crab Meat Lion's Head, Wensi Tofu."

"The names of the dishes sound awesome!" Liu Shengnan said secretly, "Thanks to you, the boss. If it were anyone else, who could make so many types of dishes?"

Su Chen said nothing.

I thought I was also learning now!
  "Okay, get busy now. Just leave these two clients to me tonight. Just do whatever you need to do."

Ling Shuyu: "Then I'm going to draw a picture. The design will be ready by tomorrow at the latest."

Zhang Li clasped her fingers silently.

Why did you still do design when you came to the company?
  Although Ling Shuyu's main major is advertising design, the overall design of the delicious dining table is relatively simple, so it is not a big problem to do some interior design.

After everyone finished working, Su Chen also got up and left the conference room.

What I have to do now is to quickly make these two dishes in the food practice room, especially the Wensi tofu dish, which is all about knife skills!
  However, with the badge of fast and accurate, Su Chen didn't have to worry. As long as he practiced this dish more, it wouldn't be a big problem.

But it’s the stewed crab meat and lion’s head, and that’s all a matter of skill!

This dish uses very little seasoning, but it’s well done. The lion’s head is extremely fat and tender, the crab meat is fragrant, and the green vegetables are crispy and refreshing. It’s definitely a top-notch dish!
  But if you don't make it right, the lion's head will taste loose or fishy, ​​which makes it very unpalatable.

Without further ado, Su Chen followed his habit and first synthesized the recipe for Wensi Tofu. During this period, he has been selling fried chicken, and the cooling period for almost all the ingredients has ended.

A mediocre green recipe.

Braised Crab Meat Lion Head, Purple Recipe.

Entering the food practice room quite satisfied, Su Chen took a deep breath.

He immediately summoned a piece of soft tofu and a green vegetable sprout. With these two ingredients, Wensi Tofu was basically ready.

But Su Chen added two more ingredients.

One is carrot and the other is black fungus. This is the best result obtained after constant attempts in the synthetic system.

Although carrots are rarely used in traditional Wensi tofu making, Su Chen chose this ingredient after careful consideration.

Huaiyang cuisine, for example, pays attention to a complete color, aroma and taste. If it is just pure white, black and green, the dish will look a bit cold, but the color will be different after adding carrots.

Moreover, the carrots are sweet and crunchy, which also adds a unique flavor to this dish.

"It's time to start practicing your knife skills!"

Su Chen wore the badge in his inventory on his chest. He didn't expect that something that was inconspicuous at the time would be so useful now.

After simply trimming the edges of a piece of soft tofu, the soft tofu turned into a cuboid with an extremely smooth surface and even some reflections!

Then cut the kitchen knife back parallel from the outside to the inside, and the soft tofu is divided into two parts.

"Tsk! My hands are not steady enough."

When making this cut, Su Chen was very slow, fearing that the blade of the knife would tilt, in which case the tofu cut out would not be a perfect cube!
  Unfortunately, my hand was still shaking slightly when I was halfway through the cut.

"Come again!"

As more and more tender tofu residue accumulated in the corner, a full 2 ​​hours passed in the practice room!

In these two hours, Su Chen did nothing but cut once!

"Damn! Isn't this too difficult?"

Su Chen squatted on the edge of the chopping board to keep his eyes parallel to the cut surface of the tofu. It was obvious that there was a section at the edge that was still not horizontal.

‘The chef’s knife skills have been honed over more than ten years’

'But they don't practice every day. Even if they practice, their time is very limited every day.'

‘I can practice an action over and over again! ’

Su Chen stood up again and looked at the swaying tender tofu with great annoyance.

"Nima!"

He cursed loudly and slashed directly with the kitchen knife!

Jingzhou City, Yuhua Jingyuan Community.

"Baozi, trust me! The food in this restaurant is definitely delicious! When your parents come, we will go here. Today I will take you to try the food first!"

The caller was none other than [The Day is Long].

"Didn't your father always say that he was afraid that you would not have enough to eat and drink when you married in our Jingzhou? I will take him to this restaurant to try it out, and I will definitely get him!"

Brother Fang Chang patted his chest and vowed.

The woman on the other end of the phone was speechless, "I grew up in Yangzhou, and my family ran a restaurant. Are you talking to me about food?"

Brother Fang Chang had a flattering smile on his face, "You're right, you're right! I will pick you up on time at six o'clock in the evening, and we will have dinner on time at seven o'clock!"

After hanging up the phone, Brother Fang Chang took a deep breath.

Opened WeChat and sent a message to the group chat of [Food Search Team].

[The future is long: not too much. Brother, I'm going to the development zone tonight, looking for a chance encounter! 】

[Zhan Yang: Why don’t you call me when you go to eat well? I get off work at eight o'clock and go catch you! 】

[The future is long: Don’t make trouble, you’re just kidding, I’m going to have dinner with my partner today. 】

[Zhang Yi: I’m already on my way to Delicious Food.]
