Chapter 90 R&D Department Appointment
Zeng Kawaii looked at the summary of the store's raw material application last month in the office, and the store reported the category and quantity of the next day's dishes to the purchasing department one day, and the purchasing department made overall arrangements and sent them before the store opened the next day.
This is a test of the store manager's experience, if there are fewer dishes, less business will be done, and if there are more dishes, it will be wasted and the performance of the store will be deducted.
Combined with the report and then look at the sales performance, it was lovely to check one store after another. Although Mrs. Lian's reputation in the sea market is quite good, but now that the catering industry is so developed and the competition is so fierce, not every store is sure to make a profit.
Knock knock - Ouyang Yuqing leaned on the door and knocked on the door, and when Zeng was cute to see him, he smiled and said, "The R&D department has a new dish, let's try it together." ”
"You go, I'm not going. Zeng looked back at the computer, "I haven't finished my business yet." ”
"There's no end to it, and besides, new dishes are also important. Ouyang Yuqing said, "If you don't go, I'll ask them to send you the dishes." ”
Zeng Cute looked at the computer and sighed, "You're so annoying." ”
"Hurry up, let's go. Ouyang Yuqing said.
Zeng Lovely could only turn off the screen of the computer, took a pen and paper and got up and followed him to the R&D department.
The R&D department usually has a door, and it is only when you open it that you know what is inside, which is not a cubicle, but a row of two open kitchen counters, each of which has a super range hood to ensure that there is no peculiar smell.
To the right of the entrance is a long bar, against the wall is a slip of freezers and lockers, and by the window there is a table with a rose on the table.
Zeng Lovely was led by Ouyang Yuqing to sit down at the table, "When did this table exist?"
"I suggested to the R&D department, as soon as I said that I would try the dishes, a bunch of people would eat at the bar, that didn't feel right, there should be a small table, hey, two people sat opposite each other, just like customers, looking for the customer's feeling, you can better evaluate the dishes. ”
Zeng Cute smiled, "You are a public weapon for private use." ”
"How can it be considered a public instrument for private use? Ouyang Yuqing was unconvinced and said, "Qiao Yunnan said that my idea is good." ”
"Vice President, can you serve the food?" said Qiao Yunnan, who was fully equipped as an associate chef from the hut.
"That's it. Ouyang Yuqing said, "First serve the aperitif." ”
"There is no such thing as aperitifs in Chinese food, and besides, it is working time, and alcohol is prohibited. Zeng said, "Just bring a bottle of mineral water." ”
The mineral water was poured into the goblet and was delivered, Ouyang Yuqing shook the wine glass, "I have seen you if I don't understand the amorous woman." ”
Zeng Lovely didn't speak, she looked out the window at the busy traffic, but she rose up to steal the floating life for a moment of leisure.
"Vice President, Special Assistant, this is the first course, truffle tofu. The tofu is dug into balls, half of it is watered, half of it is coated with flour and egg liquid and fried in the pot, the grains are round and lovely, poured with thickening soup, and then two slices of black truffle are shaved on top, the strange fragrance and smooth and crispy taste are fused, which is very perfect. Qiao Yunnan said.
"The appearance is still good. Ouyang Yuqing said.
"How much does this dish cost, how much is it expected to sell, and how many man-hours will it take?" Zeng Kai opened the notebook, holding the pen, looking businesslike.
"It's never too late to ask after you've eaten these. Ouyang Yuqing said, "If you say this, you don't put your mentality right, you have to look forward to a dish that you haven't eaten like a customer, rather than a judge, with a lot of pickiness to taste it." ”
"Come on, come on, put the bills away. Ouyang Yuqing helped her close the notebook, put the pen on the cap, took it all, and put it on his side, "Enjoy." ”
Zeng Cute took a photo with her mobile phone, and then used a spoon to dig a piece of tofu to eat, first eat the white, then eat the yellow, Qiao Yunnan earnestly suggested on the side, and eat it with the truffle.
Zeng Kai stopped the spoon, "There are twelve tofu in total, and the truffle is four slices, how can you let customers eat together?"
"Hey, it's a virtue to give in, two pieces for one person. Ouyang Yuqing said, "Little things, small things." ”
The second new dish is sweet and sour banana, the small imperial banana is sweet and sour, pulled up and drawn, a bite down the inside is soft and sweet, it turns out to be a banana made of glutinous rice, but the inside is still a banana.
"We adjusted the ratio of this sweet and sour to increase the proportion of sugar compared to the traditional sweet and sour to increase the effect of silk pulling. ”
Zeng Cute tried it and didn't speak.
Ouyang Yuqing took a bite, "Girls and children should like this taste." ”
The third new dish is spicy matsutake fat sausage, which has a stronger visual impact than the first two, "Now Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine are becoming more and more popular in the market, we must also keep pace with the times and develop some spicy dishes in order to gain more customers." Qiao Yunnan said, "Although this dish is spicy, before the spicy, the color of the red and spicy pepper is used, but it still takes care of the stomach of the Haishi people, and the stomach is also comfortable." ”
"That's good. Ouyang Yuqing said.
Zeng Lovely tasted it, and then put down the chopsticks, Ouyang Yuqing looked at her carefully, "This is not satisfied either?"
"Don't ask me. Zeng Kawai said, "How do you feel when you eat by yourself?"
"I'm feeling pretty good. Ouyang Yuqing took two more chopsticks, "The pig intestine has a strong taste, it must be spicy to overshadow its own taste, and the matsutake mushroom has his unique aroma." ”
Ouyang Yuqing paused, he looked at Qiao Yunnan, "Actually, this matsutake mushroom can be replaced with other mushrooms, it doesn't have such a strong sense of existence, and the cost can be low, your pig intestines are too expensive, and the shrewd Haishi people will not agree." ”
Qiao Yunnan nodded like pounding garlic, "Then I'll try it with other mushrooms later." ”
The fourth course is Lily Love, the dough is wrapped in lily patterns and fried in a pan to set the shape, stuffed with shredded carrots, shredded burdock, and topped with salad dressing.
"With this appearance, the bar is still very good for drinks and snacks. Ouyang Yuqing said.
"That's all there are for these dishes?" asked Zeng Kawai.
Qiao Yunnan nodded.
"How many chefs are there in the R&D department now?" asked Zeng Katie.
"There are four. Qiao Yunnan said.
"Don't you have any R&D tasks every month?" Zeng asked again.
"In the past, each chef had to have four innovative dishes on the store every month, but then the market response was not good, and the menu was withdrawn within two months, so Mr. Yang said, don't set us any tasks, concentrate on studying the dishes, and you can't make good dishes in order to complete the task. ”
"Then you can relax. Ouyang Yuqing said.
"It's good to be easy, it's easy to have no money. Qiao Yunnan said, "There are no new dishes and they all get a basic salary, which is much less than the salary of the chef in the store." ”
"The chef is so busy. Zeng Kawai said, "If you want me to say that you are inefficient in closing the door and building cars, it is better to go to the back kitchen of the store every month to help and find inspiration." ”
Qiao Yunnan is like this, although they are all chefs, but you say it, the research and development of new dishes and the kitchen are not the same thing.
"Okay, you go get busy first, I'll exchange opinions with the special assistant. Ouyang Yuqing said.
After Qiao Yunnan left, Zeng looked at him cutely, "You are quite familiar with the R&D department now." ”
"Otherwise, everyone else will take a few turns when they talk, which is quite boring. Ouyang Yuqing said, "They still talk straightforwardly, they have nothing to do here, make a dish here, drink two cups, and pass the time very well." ”
"I thought you were serious about helping them come up with new dishes. "I looked at him cutely.
"I can't cook, what can I think?" Ouyang Yuqing said, "I can tell them that this is delicious and that is not delicious." ”
"These four dishes, although there is nothing innovative about them, but you believe me, they are definitely a safe way to ensure the taste, and there are many more imaginatives. ”
"I ask you, you tell the truth. Zeng Kawaii said, her chopsticks pointed to the first course, "What do you think of this truffle tofu?"
"Delicious. Ouyang Yuqing looked at Zeng Lovely eyes and said, "I can't say it, but it's definitely not unpalatable, probably because the thickened soup is braised flavor, and it feels like braised tofu and two pieces of truffle, which don't match." ”
"But this plating and this ingredient configuration, placed in a fashionable restaurant, is enough to fool people, some people eat a name, he doesn't care if it's delicious or not, go back and brag to others that I ate truffles today, that's it. And it is. ”
"But we don't have a trendy restaurant like that. Zeng Lovely said, "Even in the sea, his main purpose is to attract food experts who know how to eat and love to eat, rather than fooling people." ”
"Where's this sweet and sour banana?"
"This can really be had, women and children must like sweet and sour, it's good to make a dessert after a meal, but it's not enough surprises, you see he is a banana, in fact, it's glutinous rice, you think he's glutinous rice, and it's a banana inside, this has no double contrast, the filling can be considered for a different one, and then it can also be fried with real bananas, this eating process is interesting, and it should be able to become a permanent member on the menu." Ouyang Yuqing said.
"You have already commented on the spicy matsutake fat sausage, I think as long as you change the mushrooms, you can have a new menu next week. Zeng Lovely said, "There are relatively few spicy dishes, but now young people are heavy, we can't open another spicy restaurant, just use this to test the water, if the response is good, it is also a direction for the R&D department, you can create a series of spicy dishes." ”
"As for this lily love. Zeng Kawai smirked and said, "No new ideas, no creativity, no character, pure waste." If there is a chef from the R&D department next time he serves such a dish, I will suggest that the HR department dismiss him. ”
"Don't be so serious. Ouyang Yuqing said, "At least it's quite romantic." After all, he asked for a few romantic and atmospheric dishes, and if the person who harmed him lost his job, it would be boring.
"I will make a manuscript of our communication today, and then after you and the R&D department confirm the details, you will report to Mr. Yang. Zeng Lovely got up and took a pen and paper and said.
"You're really not romantic. Ouyang Yuqing spread out on the chair and shook his head, "You didn't get a little romantic factor when you went to France?"
Zeng Lovely took out the roses on the table, stuffed them into Ouyang Yuqing's shirt pocket, and bent down to look at him, "Do you know why office romances are forbidden?"
"Good Dreams does not prohibit office romances. ”
"You reminded me, I'll go and suggest Mr. Yang. Zeng Kawaii got up and said. "The office is a place for you to work, not a place for you to use the public land, receive the public money, and talk about private love. ”
"You don't fall in love with me. Ouyang Yuqing whispered.
"Do you think I look like someone who will date you in the R&D department?" Zeng Lovely walked out a few steps, but still turned around and said.
"Then it's not in the R&D department?" Ouyang Yuqing came to his senses, "Are your grandparents back?
"Let's talk about it. Zeng Lovely left an ambiguous sentence and walked away gently and skillfully.
Ouyang Yuqing took out the rose and sniffed it under his nose.
Although the rose is good, the branches are pierced.
