Chapter 152: No Victory

Before half past four, there were customers who kept ordering because it was the weekend.

For catering, the most popular thing is weekends and holidays, because only on weekends and holidays, business is better and the most popular.

Of course, the catering here refers to the owners of the store, and the employees may not like it, and many employees engaged in catering may be most annoyed by the above two days, because that often means that they are tired of dogs.

The business of raging crayfish is usually very good, and this weekend, the popularity is even more prosperous, before five o'clock, the store is already full, full of people, Xia Wenjing and the two waiters Xiaomeng and Xiaoxia are busy, in the kitchen, Zhou An and others are also busy, one by one nervous, busy and non-stop, like a war.

By the fierce fire in the corner of the kitchen, Dahan, who has been officially on duty for two days, wipes the sweat on his face with a towel, and scoops snails into the plate, and a crayfish is still boiling in the pot.

Xiao Jiang, who served as a side dish, the kitchen knife in his hand was beating continuously, and the sound of knives was like a shower.

Da Luo, who was cooking cold dishes, had one heel hanging in the air, his hands were busy, and his feet were constantly changing positions, because the things on the desk in front of him were arranged relatively neatly, and one of the negative effects of neatness was that everything had its own position, and it was impossible for him to stand still and make cold dishes one by one.

Zhou An was boiling the sauce pork ribs in the pot to collect juice and prepare to thicken, he was also busy and serious, his eyes were staring at the soup in the pot was rapidly decreasing, holding a spoon in his left hand and grabbing the juice in the starch bowl on the seasoning table with his right hand.

Thickening is a common technique for cooking in restaurants, especially braised dishes, in order to sell the juice after the pot is thick and oily, you need to come to this before the pot.

It's not difficult to thicken, take a small bowl, fill it with some starch, and add some water to keep it at hand.

Water starch is easy to sink to the bottom, the starch will soon condense at the bottom of the bowl, the water on the top is really clear, when thickening, you need to grab the starch at the bottom with your fingers, let the starch mix with water, and finally thicken with a mixture of water and starch, add it to the dish that is about to come out of the pot, and the soup can be wrapped in the dish in an instant, and the appearance will be very beautiful after the pot.

Tian Lu was wearing a white chef's uniform, and at this time, he was standing at the workbench behind Zhou An, taking plates and preparing various seasonings for Zhou An.

Soon, the sauce pork ribs came out of the pot, Tian Lu hurriedly wiped off the soup on the edge of the plate with a rag, grabbed a little green onion and sprinkled it on the fish, picked up the plate and walked quickly to the front hall to pass the food.

Everyone is very busy, so busy that everyone has no time to think that Fumanlou is also selling crayfish tonight, and is stealing business with their store.

When your store is full, who cares how many competitors there are among your peers?

I've got a book to keep my store from being full!

……

In other words, on the first day of Fumanlou tonight, crayfish and spiced snails were launched, is there really no one to buy them?

Not really!

The signboard of Fumanlou is in Yinma County, especially the food street is still very hard, Fumanlou first recommended crayfish and spiced snails tonight, how can no one buy it?

What's more, Fumanlou started selling these two things on the first day today, and in order to attract diners, the price was deliberately lower than that of Zhou An.

35 pieces of crayfish and 10 yuan a portion of spiced snails.

This price is compared to the selling price of rampaging crayfish, and there is no doubt that it must be very competitive.

When the business of raging crayfish here was full, in fact, there were many people who bought crayfish and spiced snails at the entrance of Fumanlou, and in front of the stall, there was even a queue like Zhou An did when he set up the stall.

Huang Jinsheng, the owner of Fumanlou, stood at the door of the store with his waist in his hand, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking at this scene with a spring breeze on his face, and the lobby manager with a bewitching figure and a foxy face walked up to him with a smile and a coquettish compliment: "Mr. Huang, you still have a vicious vision! See the opportunity, hit it with one hit, look at the situation tonight, our crayfish and snail business here is an instant hit! Hehe, with the fame of our Fumanlou, it is estimated that it will not be long before the crayfish shop at the entrance will have no business!"

Huang Jinsheng smiled smugly, and pretended to be modest and said: "It's early, it's early! It's a little early to say this! Hehe, let's sell it for a few more days! If a few days later, our lobster and snail business is still so good, then what you just said can be regarded as a real fulfillment!"

The two of them were here to point out the country, and Chen Fayin, the head chef of Fumanlou, also took the time to come out of the kitchen and take a few glances at the stall selling at the door.

Compared with the confidence of Huang Jinsheng and the lobby manager, Chen Fayin, the head chef, frowned slightly and looked worried.

Two days ago, Huang Jinsheng asked him to try making crayfish, and after he called an old friend, he did make it, and the appearance and taste were not bad.

After all, he has many years of experience in cooking.

After Huang Jinsheng and several managers in the store tried it, they were also quite satisfied, but Chen Fayin was still not sure.

Because of the things he made, he knew in his heart that in terms of appearance, it might be more delicate than that made by raging crayfish, but in terms of taste, it was at least one or two grades worse.

Huang Jinsheng and others didn't care too much about this, but Chen Fayin couldn't deceive himself in his heart.

He knew how bad the crayfish and snails he had made were worse than those of the rampaging crayfish.

But the problem is that although he knows where the gap is, he can't make up for it.

……

Raging crayfish, Aunt Li, who washes dishes and vegetables, is also busy tonight with her sideburns scattered and snorting, if she is given another chance to choose, it is estimated that she may not be hired to work here.

It's so tired!

In this shop, women are treated as men, and men are used as animals.

The point is that the boss is not idle, and he is even busier than them, which makes it difficult for her to complain.

Raging crayfish is not a black store, but it is not impossible to resign.

The problem is that Zhou An, the little boss, as early as the first day of opening, hung a carrot in front of them like a donkey who tempted and grinded, tempting them to keep moving forward.

The carrots that Zhou An hung on them were nothing else, just salary increases and bonuses!

It's vulgar!

However, the people who work here are all laypeople, and Aunt Li is no exception, and she can't resist the possibility of a salary increase and the unknown amount of bonuses.

She has a daughter who is in middle school, and tonight, when she is at her busiest, her slim daughter arrives.

"What are you doing here? Go back, go back!"

Aunt Li, who was so busy that her mouth was dry, immediately urged her to go back impatiently when she saw her daughter.

Zhou An happened to have a dish out of the pot, and when he caught a glimpse of Aunt Li's daughter, he saw that the little girl was about to go back with a red face, and Zhou An suddenly called out to her.

"Hey, little beauty, can you do me a favor?"

15-year-old Jiang Xingyue looked back at him in amazement, her mouth slightly open, pointing at herself, not sure if Zhou An was calling her.

Aunt Li also looked at Zhou An in surprise.

Zhou An smiled at Jiang Xingyue and motioned to Tian Lu, "Cousin, you go to the front desk and get fifty yuan for her!"

Then he said to Jiang Xingyue: "Beauty, do me a favor! Help me go to the door of Fumanlou to buy a crayfish?

Jiang Xingyue: "......"

She looked at her mother and then at Zhou An, and always felt that she had become a free labor force in this store.

This is probably the legendary capture of strong men, right?
