At 10 o'clock in the morning on Thursday, the program team issued a new notice, informing everyone that from now on, all contestants can go to their respective restaurants to familiarize themselves with a series of related matters such as restaurant staff, kitchen structure, menu recipes, etc., especially those who are going to other places.

As soon as this notice was issued, it meant that Jiang Feng's happy salted fish life was over.

Although he really has nothing to be familiar with, Sun Jikai, Wu Minqi and Sun Maocai are not familiar with Yongheju, so it is very necessary to meet new colleagues in the next two weeks in advance, familiarize themselves with Yongheju's kitchen, and study Yongheju's menu and dish tastes.

In order to let the contestants better familiarize themselves with the new environment, the program team also assigned a staff member to each group of contestants to deal with their problems.

The first thing to solve is the problem of dishes.

In addition to the selected four dishes, all the dishes on the menu of Yongheju can theoretically be made and sold by Jiang Feng's four people. You must know that Yongheju's recipe has more than 60 pages, although many of them are heavily mixed with water on one page and one dish, but the total number of dishes is definitely quite a lot.

How to choose, how to choose is a big question.

Jiang Feng and the four of them calculated the time, and they were still resting at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, but the chefs had basically returned to the restaurant and rushed to Yongheju.

"Can't you change it after choosing?" Yongheju's menu Jiang Feng is very familiar, in his opinion, they can cook all the dishes on the menu except for the Tan family's dishes, but Sun Maocai and Sun Jikai may be a little uncomfortable, because Yongheju Zhu specializes in Lu cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

"Of course, it can be changed, I just suggest that you choose the dishes that can be made first, after all, there are so many chefs in the back kitchen, and if you don't communicate well in advance, chaos may have a certain impact on the restaurant's operation. The staff said.

Jiang Feng and they all understand these truths, everyone in the kitchen has their own division of labor, cutting, stir-frying, plating, basically each master has his own fixed dishes, but the menu is not marked, only Taifeng Lou clearly marked these things on the menu and counted the performance of each chef.

Sun Maocai, Sun Jikai and Wu Minqi were studying the menu, Jiang Feng went directly into the back kitchen to chat with other chefs, and asked about Yongheju's recent business, Zhou Shi's situation and Peng Changping's situation.

Zhou Shi's cat has been sent back to his hometown, Peng Changping has no cat to raise, and can only come to Yonghe every day to teach his disciples with peace of mind. Zhou Shi has long passed the stage of being a rebellious teenager who is greedy for fun and does not learn, and he has made great progress in practicing cooking diligently every day, and it is said that the basic skills of Tan Jiacai have been practiced very well.

Now that Zhou Shi and Peng Changping are not in the store, Peng Changping led Zhou Shi to visit the vegetable market.

"Everything is good during this time, but the recipes are all released at once, which makes it a bit troublesome. The young man with the lowest rank gnawed on an apple and complained to Jiang Feng.

"Trouble?" Jiang Feng was stunned, "The recipes of the Tan family's cuisine are released and the program is broadcast, the business should be very good, how can it be troublesome?"

This point was mentioned to Jiang Feng when Jiang Feng and Lu Sheng were chatting last night that although Yongheju mainly focuses on Tan's cuisine, the menu of Tan's cuisine has not been announced to the public before, which has led to many ordinary guests not knowing that Yongheju sells Tan's cuisine.

The main dish is Tan family cuisine, but it does not sell Tan family cuisine.

The reason why the Tan family's dishes are not on the ordinary menu Lu Sheng also told Jiang Feng that the main reason is that they are too expensive.

The raw materials of Tan's cuisine are basically abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, bird's nest and other high-end luxury dishes, and the price of the dishes is naturally very expensive. In the early days, Yongheju didn't even have a menu, and what dishes were sold every day completely depended on what was available on the day, and if diners wanted to book a banquet, they had to prepare the ingredients in advance. This business model lasted for a long time, even during the period of state-run restaurants, where only home-cooked dishes and snacks were placed on the menu, and it depended on luck to eat really good dishes.

Later, the state-run restaurant was transformed and bought back by private individuals, and this model has not changed, but the menu has enriched a lot of dishes. At first, there were only a small number of guests who could afford to eat Tan's cuisine, but later the economy boomed, everyone's wallets swelled, and there were more guests who could afford to eat Tan's cuisine.

In recent years, the catering industry has been booming, and Babaozhai has lost almost the same reputation under Ling Guangzhao's management, but the money is a lot of money, so that the reputation is not bad, but the money is not as much as Ling Guangzhao's Lu Sheng is very envious.

In the case of not ruining the reputation of their own store, who will not bother with money?

Lu Sheng has actually been looking for an opportunity to make Tan Jiacai less high-end and enter the public eye all these years, but it has been unsuccessful.

Lu Sheng couldn't find a chance, one was because Peng Changping had left Yongheju for many years, and the apprentices he taught back then were basically retired at home because of their old age.

The other is because the price of Tan's dishes is too high, it is difficult to promote, and ordinary customers on the menu may not be willing to order.

Even if it is a vegetarian dish with cheap raw materials, the unit price is up to 1,000.

If you really want to compare the price of dishes, Yongheju may not lose to the top-floor restaurant.

From the very beginning of the competition, Yongheju put white fungus stew, sunflower duck, two-color prawns, scallops and winter melon, jujube walnut cheese and other relatively cheap and not so troublesome dishes on the menu.

Taking advantage of the popularity of variety shows, I don't know how good the sales of these high-priced Tan family dishes in Yongheju are during this time.

Of course, Lu Sheng would tell Jiang Feng about these things, mainly because he wanted Jiang Feng to challenge a few big dishes in the swallow fin banquet in the past two weeks, similar to braised shark fin, grilled black cucumber and the like.

Lu Sheng really wants Yongheju to reopen a complete swallow wing seat one day.

After all, the swallow wing seat is the pinnacle of Yongheju and represents the glory of Yongheju.

Peng Changping has also spent some time and effort training the other disciples and grandchildren except Zhou Shi these days, and everyone has also made progress, but they want to progress to the level of reopening the swallow wing seat in a short period of time, unless they have a game like Jiang Feng.

"It's just that the business is too good to be troublesome. The young man with the lowest rank said with a sad face, "Didn't you release some of the Tan family dishes during this time, it was a good thing that the business was good and the wages had risen, but I don't know who started to spread the word, saying that our store released these Tan family dishes because we wanted to reopen the swallow wing seat." ”

"Reopen the swallow wing seat?" Jiang Feng thought for a moment, "Isn't the swallow wing seat open all the time?"

Although it is a swallow wing mat that cut corners and lost two of the most difficult dishes, Yongheju has also made swallow wing mats over the years.

Even if Lu Sheng didn't say his name, didn't the diners all assume that they were eating swallow's wing seats?

"It's not open. The young man with the lowest rank lowered his voice, "Although the swallow wing mat has been made all these years, only one or two tables are made every year, and they are made at the guests' homes. If the swallow's wing seat is reopened, it must be opened twice a month as in the past, once at the beginning of the month and once in the middle of the month, and auctioned at the end of the month. ”

Jiang Feng was shocked.

Is this the life of a rich man? Eat by auction.

"Then why don't you do it now? It's not that you can't do it, it's just two dishes less, and you've been making it for so many years and no customer has pointed it out. Jiang Feng asked.

The voice of the young man with the lowest rank was lower: "It's not just two dishes less, but in fact, the taste is not good, and it can't be compared with ten or twenty years ago." But there is no way, Master Peng has been away from the store for so many years, and several masters have basically retired, and Master Xu is actually about to retire. ”

Chef Xu is the chef who represented Yongheju in the competition this time.

"Master Xu's cooking skills are the worst among the masters, if it weren't for Master Peng's return this time, it is estimated that the swallow wing banquet for Master Xu will not be able to make it as soon as he retires. ”

Jiang Feng was stunned.

He has only eaten the swallow wing mat made by Peng Changping himself, and he has never eaten the swallow wing mat of Yongheju cutting corners, so naturally he doesn't know the difference.

He knew about the cutting corners version of the water, but he didn't expect it to be so watery.

It is no wonder that Lu Sheng has been thinking about opening a complete swallow wing banquet for so many years, and he is so eager to transform Tan Jiacai, which is indeed forced by the situation.

It's a pity that he can't help either. His own dishes haven't been learned yet, how can he have time to learn Tan's cuisine, besides, even if he wants to learn Peng Changping, he may not be willing to teach, and he is not Zhou Shi, so he didn't worship Peng Changping as a teacher.

"I said that there were only three people outside, and you disappeared, so you came to chat in the kitchen. Just when Jiang Feng sighed, Lu Sheng didn't know where to jump out.

"I don't have to study the menu, of course I just run to the kitchen and talk. Jiang Feng smiled, and found that Lu Sheng's hair was a little messy, his collar was a little wrinkled, and there were a few red marks on his face, which were nine times out of ten from sleeping on the table.

I don't know, I thought he was a high school student, and he slept in class and slept with red marks.

"How's the research going?" Lu Sheng asked.

"What else? You can do anything, what's so difficult. "In front of his friends, Jiang Feng is a lot more arrogant.

"So, do you want to think about the clear soup of Guan Yan, if you don't want to think about the yellow braised shark fin, I think you can also grill the big black ginseng." Lu Sheng smiled.

Jiang Feng: ......

"Sorry to interrupt. Jiang Feng said goodbye on the spot.

"Think about it, more than one old guest has come to me to ask about the swallow wing seat during this time. You know, the chef of the swallow wing seat in our store has always been Chef Xu, and now that Chef Xu has replaced you, should you play the role of Chef Xu? Think about it, I know you can, it's not like you don't know our food, you've been with us for so long, you treat this place as if it were your own home, you really can't make oyster sauce abalone......"

Lu Sheng chased after him.
