Chapter 81: Expensive is the Reason
Mi Yanran said to Chen Kai regretfully: "The charity fund that the school originally contacted to improve the canteen is probably hopeless. ”
Chen Kai's eyes widened, and he was a little surprised: "When did you contact the charity fund? ”
Mi Yanran's eyes darkened, and she exhaled lightly: "Three days ago, our principal just found a charity in Haidong that was willing to fund.
Originally, I was going to sign a cooperation agreement yesterday, but when I had a teachers' meeting today, the principal said that the charity there could not invest in our school for the time being because of insufficient funds.
Now there are so many children from the primary schools in the surrounding towns and villages in the first grade, and the canteen has less money and more people, and everyone's standard is only barely able to cook meat dishes every other day.
Originally, it was supposed to be a great opportunity. ”
Chen Kai also felt very regretful in his heart, after all, when Mi Yanran talked about improving the students' food before, her eyes were full of expectations, but now it is a result that is close to gaining and losing.
After thinking for a while, Chen Kai comforted softly: "Teacher Mi, this fund has no investment, and you can fight for other families, you must not affect your state and mood because of this." ”
Mi Yanran listened, nodded slightly, blinked, seemed to recover a little, and picked up the chopsticks instead.
Looking at the braised crucian carp in front of her, Mi Yanran showed a faint smile, took a puff through her little nose, raised her head and said to Chen Kai:
"Is your craft getting better, or am I getting less resistant to food?"
Chen Kai also smiled: "It's both." ”
Mi Yanran chuckled, a trace of blush flashed on her demure and pretty face, she pushed her hair behind her ear with her hand, tore open a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slightly.
Chen Kai smiled and asked, "How is it, is it delicious?"
Mi Yanran closed her eyes and enjoyed the taste of food, the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter and brighter, and she slowly opened her eyes as smart as autumn water, and said to Chen Kai: "Very good." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Feifei was eating and chatting with the little girl Han Lele next to her, and there was a hint of home in the Heli fast food restaurant.
Unconsciously, a busy day passed again, lying on the bed in the rental house at night, Chen Kai checked today's turnover figures, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If this meat dish can be carried out, the profit is indeed high, and as soon as this Chen Ji braised crucian carp is launched today, the revenue sold at noon and evening is almost close to the income of the previous two days.
Charitable Foundation ...... I wonder if there is any other way to get a sponsorship?
Chen Kai recalled what Mi Yanran said about the school's preparations to improve students' food, and he was also thinking about some other possibilities.
I didn't come up with any ideas for a while, and Chen Kai was tired for a day, so he fell asleep unconsciously.
On the morning of the next day, Chen Kai rushed to Heli fast food at ten o'clock, and with yesterday's experience, whether it was crucian carp or accessories, he went to the vegetable market early to buy sufficient quantities of goods.
After parking the car and opening the door of the store, Chen Kai rolled up his sleeves and unloaded the fish, meat, and vegetables into the kitchen alone, and then began to slaughter the fish in advance.
It didn't take long for Li Feifei to come to work, and the two of them were busy together, rushing to do the things that needed to be prepared at noon in the store at about a quarter past eleven.
Two people sit on chairs, eat ice cream, chat and wait for the guests to come to the door.
Li Feifei asked with some curiosity: "Boss, when I went out to take out the garbage last night, I saw that the guests queuing next door didn't seem to be as crazy as yesterday at noon." ”
Chen Kai nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, there may be a little less guests next door today than last night." ”
Li Feifei looked surprised: "Why, I think that eel is delicious, although it is indeed very expensive." ”
The corners of Chen Kai's mouth raised: "That's the reason." ”
"Ahh ”
"That's what you said, because it's expensive. ”
Li Feifei was a little puzzled: "Although I think so, it's hard to guarantee that there are no guests who particularly like to eat this dish."
And Chef Zhang was a very famous chef before, everyone should know that the dishes he makes are not cheap, and he is also mentally prepared when eating. ”
Chen Kai shook his head with a smile: "Indeed, Zhang Bingsheng is a former star chef, and the dishes he makes are quality assurance, and it is normal for a piece of eel to sell for forty-nine yuan."
But Duoduoke is not a star-rated hotel, think about it carefully, what kind of guests usually come to our store to eat at Duoduoke?"
Li Feifei pouted at the ice cream stick and blinked: "The residents of the Four Seasons Community, the surrounding office workers, and people from several other communities." ”
"That's right, we make fast food, and we are dealing with these ordinary residents, who may pay a high price to eat the fried eel once in order to try it.
But it's hard to eat a second or third time, make fast food, and if you only come once or twice, you won't be called back. ”
Li Feifei looked suddenly enlightened, nodded hurriedly:
"Oh, that's why you make a home-cooked dish like braised crucian carp, right, I see that many guests came to eat yesterday at noon and in the evening, maybe they will come back today." ”
Chen Kai smiled, and before he could open his mouth, he saw a guest outside the gate pushing the glass door.
"Boss, is the braised crucian carp ready today?"
Chen Kai and Li Feifei looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly got up to greet the guests.
With the arrival of the first customer, Heli Fast Food has started another busy day.
There are more and more fans of Chen Ji's braised crucian carp, and it has been until half past twelve, and among the many customers who come to the store to eat, most of them rush up and eat fish without saying a word.
The popularity of Heli fast food has increased unabated compared to yesterday.
Chen Kai and Li Feifei are very well prepared today, and the operation efficiency is higher than yesterday, relatively speaking, the waiting time of guests is greatly reduced.
So although the queue is very long today, it is finally orderly, and it is not as crowded as yesterday's rush hour.
Chen Kai carefully poured a pot of freshly fired crucian carp into the insulating table, returned to the kitchen, packed up a large bag of kitchen waste, and walked out the door.
Out of curiosity, he turned his head and glanced through the glass door to see how many customers were doing.
It's the peak time for lunch, but the number of visitors to Duoduo has decreased significantly compared to yesterday.
At a glance, the flow of people was only slightly more than when Zhang Bingsheng didn't come a few days ago.
Chen Kai saw sharply that Wang Ling was wearing civilian clothes, standing near the cash register of Duoduoke with her hands and arms, looking at the diners in the store, with a very serious expression on her face.
Chef Zhang seems to have to change his strategy.
Chen Kai shook his head, he was very busy here, he didn't have time to think about something, after taking out the garbage, Chen Kai turned around and went back to the kitchen, and continued to fry the slaughtered fresh crucian carp for later use.
The sun is gradually rising to the zenith, and the cicadas are chirping outside, and it may be raining soon, so the weather is a little muggy today, but the hot atmosphere of lunch is still going on here at Heli Fast Food.
Unknowingly, Chen Kai and Li Feifei were busy until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as the guests ran out at noon, Chen Kai hurriedly set up his recliner and sent Li Feifei back for a lunch break.
I don't know how long I slept, as soon as the alarm clock rang, Chen Kai struggled to open his eyes, looked at his phone, and it was time to prepare again.
Li Feifei also walked into the store with a yawn, stretched her waist, and rubbed her eyes.
Chen Kai looked at Li Feifei's somewhat tired appearance, and said sincerely:
"You've worked so hard during this time, and now that the flow of customers is basically fixed, starting next week, I'll give you a day off every Saturday to have a good rest. ”
Li Feifei had just yawned, and suddenly moved.
"Boss, are you serious?"
Chen Kai smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, although you start work at noon, you still have to have weekly holidays." ”
Li Feifei jumped on the spot happily: "Hmph, it seems that you are not too careful." ”
Chen Kai smiled and shook his head.
The sky is gradually darkening, and at sunset, in the Heli fast food restaurant, Chen Kai and Li Feifei entertain the guests in an orderly manner, although busy but fulfilling.
With the prompts of Alipay and WeChat arrival, Chen Kai secretly rejoiced in his heart, and Li Feifei called for Chen Kai to add bonuses.
Chen Kai agreed with a smile, and promised that if the turnover of this month was good, Li Feifei's expenses for traveling once during the holiday would be reimbursed by Chen Kai.
In the noisy and lively atmosphere, Chen Kai was in a good mood, standing in the kitchen humming a song and brushing the dishes.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from outside the kitchen window.
"Chef Zhang, let's see what to do now!"
