Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing have been doing their best, helping and at seven o'clock in the evening, it was time for the shopkeeper to open dinner.

Although Hong Lucheng later behaved a little unkindly, claiming that work meals were only eaten by shopkeepers, and insisted that they go home for dinner.

But Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing's admiration for the old man did not dissipate because of the hungry stomach, but brought this kind of joy and sincerity back home.

It wasn't until the two of them washed up at night and lay on the bed that they were still talking about each other's feelings today.

If nothing else, the point is that the more they stay in the old man's shop, the more unexpected discoveries and gains will be.

That series of what I saw and heard was like a compressed biscuit, full of connotation.

The more you talk, the more you think, the more intriguing you become.

For example, when she washed her hands with water later, she found that the two washbasin stands in the store had something special.

In front of the basin rack, it was actually leaning on a one-meter-long, two-foot-wide gray lacquered wooden board.

The top of the board is not yet straight, but concave horizontally.

This thing made her ponder for a long time and didn't understand.

It was Fang Bingsheng who discovered her curiosity and told her how to use it.

It turned out that this was specially made by Hong Lucheng for Hong Yanzheng.

It's for guys to use a board to block their lower bodies when they wash their faces.

Because the slope of the board is just below the belly, this prevents water from spilling on the hem of the trousers or shoes.

Otherwise, it will look unclean and customers will see that they are tired.

Not to mention, using a basin stand will have such a problem, almost everyone can't avoid it.

When Shui Qing heard this at the time, the whole Daigo was empowered.

After giving it a try, I couldn't help but praise it immediately.

"It's really foreign, it's too clever. ”

What does this mean?

It shows that there are many blind spots in people's thinking. But in fact, there is room for improvement and improvement in everything, and it is often started small.

The key is whether you are willing or not, whether you want to, and whether you can do it in a down-to-earth manner.

For the old man's thoughts on doing business, she can only throw herself into the ground.

In addition, there are the rules of the store and the treatment of the shopkeepers.

It was all in the form of an announcement, openly posted outside the back kitchen door, so that the shopkeepers could learn and abide by it.

Shui Qingzai read it carefully, not to mention the surprise.

Because Hong Yanwu's rules for the service company are already very detailed, they are still not as good as the old man.

That's just too fine, too strict.

It's almost meticulous to the point where every move is so strict that it even interferes with the way of life.

No smoking, no drinking, no gambling at any time, no night at night.

Every Tuesday, the head is shaved and bathed, and only flat and inch heads can be left.

Even if you go out and buy anything by yourself, you have to sign it.

Even eating is governed by rules and regulations.

A special person is responsible for serving food, and no conversation is allowed during meals.

There must also be a cloth plate on the table, and there must be two kinds of chopsticks on the plate.

A pair of black ebony, a pair of bony ones.

Ebony is used to pick vegetables and put them on a plate, and the bones are eaten by themselves.

The restaurant also clearly stipulates that the restaurant cannot eat out without asking for leave.

In addition, even Hong Lucheng himself counts, no matter who it is, they all eat the same meals in the store.

There are no exceptions or special treatment for anyone.

Such a requirement is actually really a bit harsh.

If it is a state-owned factory, even the leaders and workers, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to do it.

Perhaps only the troops, it is possible.

But on the other hand, the treatment in the store is surprisingly good.

In addition to the salary agreed upon, the end of the year depends on the situation, and each person has different bonuses.

Moreover, in addition to eating, living, dressing, shaving, and bathing, there are also food improvements and rewards for eating on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

The general standard is from the usual two meats, one vegetarian and one soup, to three meat and three vegetarian seasonal dishes, plus lo mein or fried noodles.

This is called stir-fried noodles in the capital.

But the best part is that there are snacks available.

It is written that every Sunday after dinner, the seasonal snacks purchased by the store are one per person.

It's hard to imagine that.

Not to mention private enterprises, which state-owned units, do not have this.

So after Shui Qing came back, he kept thinking about it.

Is this old rule of private trading good or bad? Is it a bit too predetermined?

Then, in addition to pondering these methods, there is a way to transfer them to the "Polar Bear" service company.

It's just to figure out how to make your employees do it without discounting.

As for Hong Yanwu, his feelings are similar to Shui Qing.

It's just that due to his professional characteristics, his focus is more on the kitchen.

Like today in the kitchen, through Li Fu's introduction, he learned some Taoism in the "big wine tank".

Only then did I know that even the three staple foods ordered by the old man were not casually come.

The stove that people build well is even more exquisite, and it contains the wonders that only insiders understand.

In fact, according to Li Fu, in fact, the "big wine tank" in the capital should be a place for pure drinking.

It has always only provided ready-made wine and food, and it is not used in the wok, let alone rice.

This is because of the small business, which limits the content of its business.

If you don't use the stove, you can do without a chef, save coal, land and labor, and the advantages of opening a hot pot restaurant today are similar.

But there are exceptions in this industry, that is, the "big wine tank" opened by Shanxi people.

In the old Beijing, Shanxi people were deeply involved in the wholesale business of the capital liquor industry.

Later, some people saw that the "big wine tank" was making money, so they simply caught the wholesale and retail together, and opened the "big wine tank" themselves.

You must know that Shanxi people's attitude towards food is quite simple, and it is as well-known as their diligence and thrift.

They can often eat pasta for more than half a year.

In this way, sometimes when the drinker catches up with the boss and his buddies for dinner, he can order a bowl of "knife cut noodles" to fill his stomach.

Think about it, is it comfortable to have a bowl of hot knife-cut noodles with a large clove of garlic after drinking?

Especially at a good price.

So this noodle is very popular, one person eats it and says it's good, and others want it too.

Slowly, the provision of "knife cut noodles" has gradually become the unique business characteristics of Shanxi's "big wine tank".

Of course, other "big wine tanks" also have to find a way to meet the requirements of guests to eat and drink.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the deals be snatched away by the "old Xi'er"?

In fact, although other people are not as good as Shanxi people in making knife shaved noodles, they also have their own methods.

That is to rely on the vendors in front of the store to help.

In the past, there was a general rule that there were no hawkers at the door of the "big wine tank".

In the evening, as soon as the lights are hung up, the vendors carrying the carts will come uninvited.

Grilled cakes, enema, wontons, steamed buns, baked cakes, hot dumplings, pig's head meat, braised and boiled ......

Spontaneously, it can form a snack night market, which is both for pedestrian business and for the tavern.

At that time, the drinkers in the house only need to greet each other, and that is to eat.

However, it must be mentioned that in terms of popularity, the "iron bell cannon mutton" operated by the Hui people has to rank first.

Because with a few hot baked cakes or hot fire, that is the most satisfying dish to fill the stomach with wine.

If you don't have this, you can open a "big wine tank" anyone, and the business will have to be a little colder.

So there is a convention under the general rule.

It is the best position at the door of the "big wine tank", which is reserved for the small cart of "cannon mutton".

It is for this reason that it is no longer possible to see such a snack gathering.

Mr. Hong decided to open the back kitchen by himself.

In addition, it can also provide three of the most popular foods: knife-cut noodles, soaked mutton, and white fire grilled noodles for drinkers.

It's just that in this case, you have to hire someone to handle it, and you have to be an expert.

Otherwise, what's the point of making it untasty?

Let's start with the noodle problem.

At the beginning, Hong Lucheng originally wanted to ask his eldest daughter-in-law, Xu Manli, to find someone part-time from the master in their factory canteen to make knife-cut noodles.

This is because the printing and dyeing industry in Beijing was also controlled by Shanxi people back then, so Shanxi people can account for half of the "Red Flag Factory".

Their canteen is also run by Shanxi people, and the characteristic is that the stir-fried vegetables are terrible to eat, and they can be made into authentic noodles.

But then it didn't work out.

It's not a matter of price, it's mainly because this master can only come at night, and he is a little bit self-cherishing of his craft.

He wouldn't teach the guys in the store, which was not appropriate.

The old man does business, and he knows that he must not let people take it.

In this way, it can only be regarded as fate, and it is not easy to force it.

But it didn't matter, because Li Fu later had a new idea.

He said that the reason why knife-cut noodles are popular is actually because they are hot, delicious and not expensive.

Affordable noodles like this, we also have them in the capital, I will.

Simply I'll teach Bingsheng to get it, and he will be on the stove in the future, so we don't have to invite outsiders.

What is Li Fuhui's about? That's rotten meat noodles.

This thing is quite famous in the old Beijing, and in Lao She's "Teahouse", "Yutai Teahouse" sells rotten meat noodles.

This can be said to be a special food in the big teahouse, which is cheap and easy to make.

Rotten meat includes not only pork, but also beef and mutton, donkey meat, etc.

To put it bluntly, the raw materials are not good meat, they are all scraps, but the taste is equivalent to today's beef noodles.

Therefore, the price is very cheap, it is enjoyable to eat, and it is a "happy pill" for the poor to satisfy their cravings.

Li Fu is not a tea room.

In the past, in order to learn tea and food, he studied hard and practiced hard, did not hesitate to ask for advice, and mastered this hand by the way.

So although this thing has been closed down in batches with the Beijing teahouse, it has been extinct in the capital for a long time.

As a connoisseur, he can bring this food back to life.

As a result, the Hong family's "big wine vat" changed "knife-cut noodles" to "rotten meat noodles".

Not only is it easier, but it is also more certain.

Because there are many old people in the capital, they still want to do this.

After the noodles are solved, it's time to think about "cannon mutton" again.

Needless to say, this dish is a pure sect.

But the problem is that Hermes-Epitek's restaurant will never hire a halal chef to do it.

So what to do?

According to Hong Lucheng's idea, he had to find a halal chef to ask for advice and leave an ingredient recipe.

Go back and let Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan try it according to the recipe, and then bring the guy with the "big wine tank".

In the future, Fang Bingsheng will cook noodles, and let another one make mutton, and the back kitchen will be enough.

Unexpectedly, it was a coincidence,

"Zhang Dascoop" knew from Hong Yanwu that the Hong family was going to open a "big wine vat", so he came to take care of it.

Even this little thing doesn't have to be tossed around.

Don't forget, who is "Zhang Dascoop"?

That's a real celebrity chef, he knows the cook.

Master Ai, the apprentice of "Yahu", is not in the "Another Shun" that is also explosive, roasted, and shabu-shabu.

So the authentic halal "cannon mutton", this master will.

He can make the guy quick by pointing and pointing, and the level of this dish is better than the average restaurant.

In this way, the problem of "cannon mutton" has also been solved.

Speaking of which, in the end, it was almost a white fire.

To be honest, this thing is the most convenient, because there is a breakfast shop opposite the shop.

You don't have to do it yourself at all, it's enough to lay out some early every day.

But what Hong Lucheng is thinking about is how to solve the problem of hot fire.

If you let the drinker eat it cold, the taste will be much worse.

But if it's a single stove for roasting, it's inefficient and slow, so it's not a problem.

If you really want to build a big oven to make dumplings according to "Yanmei Zhai", it will become a knife for killing chickens, which is too wasteful.

As a result, after thinking about it, the old man remembered that he was trading in the Huhai Concession back then, and the Western food stove that the Huhai master got for him came.

It seems that that thing is the most suitable.

So I drew a picture according to my memories and asked the master in charge of building the stove to "cook rice" and change the stove for cooking noodles.

What has become of this stove in the end?

You can cook noodles with a large fire eye on one side, and boil water with a small fire eye on the top.

Then the three fire eyes were hollowed out and inlaid with an iron box.

Well, with the vitality of these three stoves, this is an earthen oven.

Go back and sell it from the early shop, just use it as you go.

Think about it, what is the effect of these three things when they are combined?

The juicy "rotten meat noodles" are freshly grilled and hot-roasted with "iron bell cannon mutton".

Absolutely appealing, right?

Just in modern times, with these three things, it is enough to make this store popular.

This is called a delicious and inexpensive spirit.

It's really much more competitive than those restaurants that cook dozens of home-cooked dishes.

And the most important thing is that with Hong Yanwu's knowledge, he suddenly found that once he had the big iron bell of "cannon mutton" and this earthen oven.

The "big wine vat" also has the potential to expand the capacity of new dishes indefinitely.

Because with these equipment, he can make almost all the iron plate and baked food.

It's no wonder that he fell into deep thought, couldn't restrain his excitement, and thought about it.

All in all, before the lights went out that day, the relevant discussion between the two ended with a few words from Hong Yanwu.

"I can't say it's good to say that the old rules like this are too much, but people can follow them without going out of shape, and that's the ability. ”

"I'm thinking about it, if the business can really go on like this, as long as there is no internal chaos, there will be no shortcomings. Whoever wants to crush the old man is like meeting a fox and a hedgehog, and he can't say anything. ”

"Qing'er, if you want me to open such a deal on the other side, I will definitely not be able to compete with our father. In the end, either my dad cleaned me up, or I couldn't stand it myself. ”

"I can only say that ginger is still old and spicy, and it is not okay to accept it. Compared with the old man, whether it is knowledge or brains, the two of us are far from being tied together. ”
