Chapter 150: Business Competition
When the domineering president of Zhou An's side suddenly came up, Huang Jinsheng, the owner of Fumanlou in the food street, made a phone call and summoned the head chef of Fumanlou to him.
Fumanlou can be regarded as the largest store here in the food street, the storefront of the street, Fumanlou rents three storefronts on the upper and lower floors, focusing on all kinds of mountain delicacies, in the food street, Fumanlou is also a night market business.
In the entire Yinma County, when it comes to Fumanlou in the food street, few people don't know it.
Huang Jinsheng is in his early 40s this year, which is the age of being in the prime of life, shrewd and capable.
The figure is slightly fat, the sparse hair is combed with a big back, and he does not wear a large gold chain, but he also has a jade string and a boss ring on his hand.
At this time, he was talking to the head chef Chen Fayin: "Master Chen, have you noticed the crayfish business in front of you recently?"
Chen Fayin's skin is dark, his long face is quite vicissitudes, and the bones of his hands on the table are prominent, but they are smooth and shiny, which is the result of being infected by oil smoke all year round.
Hearing this, he nodded and smiled, "Can't you notice it?" Recently, our food street has the most eye-catching business, and I even asked someone to pack a crayfish and taste it!"
Huang Jinsheng nodded with a smile and said approvingly: "Master Chen's habit is good, I appreciate Master Chen's habit of always paying attention to market dynamics!
Chen Fayin nodded, "That's right! Boss Huang, to be honest, from the chef's point of view, the crayfish of the rampaging crayfish are not made! The color is bright red, spicy and fragrant, and the taste is very pure and pure! I can even eat it, the dried chili peppers used in the crayfish are soaked in warm water, because although the spicy taste in it is enough, there is no kind of choking throat impulse, which is rare! Really, Boss Huang! I dare say that there are not many chefs in the entire Yinma County who understand this, but the rampaging crayfish has achieved this in terms of spiciness, which is amazing!"
Huang Jinsheng listened very carefully, his brows were slightly locked, but after listening, he suddenly smiled, "Hehe, I think you are better than Master Chen! Because you not only understand this, but you also tasted it with just one taste, Master Chen!"
"Huh. ”
Chen Fayin chuckled.
Huang Jinsheng turned the boss ring in his hand and suddenly asked, "Master Chen, if you are asked to make a crayfish, are you sure that you can beat that store in terms of taste?"
Chen Fayin raised his eyebrows and said, "Boss Huang, do you want to rob the business of the rampaging crayfish?"
Huang Jinsheng laughed, "Why don't you want to? Master Chen! Don't you notice that with the opening of that lobster shop, the business of our store has dropped significantly? You are busy in the kitchen every day, you may not know that in recent days, many of our old customers have visited that lobster shop! Also, do you know? Recently, some old customers who have come to our store to consume are also asking us if there is any spicy crayfish in Fumanlou, this thing is now open to the market, if we don't do it, we can only watch the guests being snatched away by the lobster shop little by little!"
After a pause, he asked again, "Master Chen, crayfish shouldn't be difficult to make, right? Are you sure?"
Chen Fayin's brows were already furrowed.
Facing Huang Jinsheng's shimmering gaze, Chen Fayin smiled slightly bitterly, "Boss! It's not that I raise the morale of others and destroy my own prestige, if the big black fish was selling before, if you ask me if I am sure that I can do better than him, I can immediately pat my chest and promise you that I can definitely throw him off a few streets! But ...... Boss, the lobster of the rampaging crayfish is really doing a great job, and it is difficult to find out the shortcomings in terms of color, flavor, shape and quality!"
Chen Fayin explained a lot, but Huang Jinsheng frowned after listening to it and only asked, "Master Chen, do you mean you're not sure?"
Chen Fayin saw the flickering color in Huang Jinsheng's eyes, and with his understanding of this boss, he knew that Huang Jinsheng might have moved the idea of changing the head chef.
Chen Fayin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I'm not 10% sure, but I'm still 50% sure!"
"That's okay! In this way, I'll immediately ask someone to buy two catties of crayfish and come back, Master Chen, you wait here first, and when the crayfish is bought, you can immediately go to the kitchen and try to make one for me to taste, no problem, right?"
What else can Chen Fayin say? He can only nod and say yes.
Fu Manlou's reputation is big, and the salary he is given is also high, if you want to change the head chef, as long as you let the wind out, it is estimated that you don't have to wait for tomorrow, someone will apply in the afternoon.
Chen Fayin didn't want to lose his job.
can be the head chef in Fumanlou, Chen Fayin's skills are of course there, and they are very good.
Unlike the head chef in some big restaurants who are not good at cooking, Chen Fayin can work in Fumanlou for three years, relying on his superb cooking skills.
Fumanlou is the largest in the food street, but compared with the real big hotel and star-rated hotel, it is more than one or two grades worse.
But every chef has areas that he is good at and is not good at, no chef dares to say that there are eight major Chinese cuisines, countless genres, and he is good at everything.
Chen Fayin is good at making game, and of course he can do crayfish, but he knows how to do it and fine is two different realms.
While Huang Jinsheng went to order someone to buy crayfish, Chen Fayin came to the kitchen with a frown.
At this time, the kitchen was empty, because Fumanlou was closed at noon, and everyone else was not yet ready to go to work.
Walking into the kitchen, he looked back at the kitchen door, and saw that there was no one at the door, Chen Fayin immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number to go out.
"Lao Xia, are you busy now? Tell me quickly, how can the spicy crayfish be done well? What are the aspects that need special attention?"
Yes, Chen Fayin asked his peers for help.
As a chef, it is inevitable to travel from south to north, and this year here may go somewhere else next year, and it is difficult to do it in one restaurant for a long time.
At Chen Fayin's age, of course, he has been to many places and done it in many restaurants in his life, and correspondingly, he knows many skilled chefs.
No, he himself was not sure that he would make the crayfish particularly good, and as soon as he left Huang Jinsheng's sight, he called someone for help.
Lao Xia on the other end of the phone seemed to be instructing Chen Fayin, Chen Fayin hurriedly told him to wait, and he hurriedly went to get a pen and paper to start shorthand.
Nodding his head while taking notes, he hurried to ask him what he didn't understand.
And all this, Zhou An still knows nothing for the time being.
But, this is the normal catering industry!
Always full of competition, you never know who's in the dark against you.
