Chapter 22: The First Course
Although Ling Xiaojun secretly cursed in his heart, the task still had to be completed, otherwise it would be his death in a month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info took a deep breath, Ling Xiaojun finally adjusted his state, that's right, he is Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.
"It's okay, let's go in and have a look at your restaurant, it's very magnificent."
Xia Ruoxue's words just now were mostly jokes, but seeing Ling Xiaojun open the topic, she didn't mention it again, "Where is the style, this is all rented by me with such a big New Year's money and pocket money." ”
"New Year's money? Well, the decoration plus rent, as well as tables and chairs and other miscellaneous items, it will cost two million. Ling Xiaojun didn't understand either, so he probably guessed.
"Just two million? I spent four million on it, and I guess I was cheated again. Xia Ruoxue said as she pulled Ling Xiaojun to visit the restaurant.
"I just guessed casually, and I don't know how much it costs." Ling Xiaojun said truthfully.
"It's my first time doing business, so it seems like we're about the same."
When I entered the restaurant, I found that it was bigger than the outside.
"This is the hall on the first floor, the second floor is a box, and the whole floor on the third floor is a super big box, which can be used for company gatherings, wedding banquets or something."
Ling Xiaojun took a general look and found that the decoration here was indeed very attentive, and the layout was very similar. The overall style of the whole restaurant is warm, the first floor is a stone floor, the walls are painted with wood color, the tables and chairs of the wood color are neatly placed with blue and white checkered napkins, and the chandeliers with warm colors are evenly hung on the ceiling, in addition to the four large round tables in the hall, there are 20 tables for four people and ten tables for two people, and the space is neither crowded nor wasted. There are eight private rooms on the second floor, six of which are large tables and two are large private rooms with two tables. The whole floor of the third floor is a hall, without superfluous decorations, cubicles, toilets, and the whole hall looks quite large, which can accommodate about fourteen or fifteen tables of guests.
"How? Is my design okay? After Xia Ruoxue took Ling Xiaojun to visit, she put her hands behind her back and looked at Ling Xiaojun playfully.
"It's not bad, I can't see that you are a little girl, you can handle such a big restaurant by yourself." Ling Xiaojun was sincerely admired. "By the way, I'm already at work today, what am I doing?"
"What do you want to do?" Ruoxue blinked her big eyes and looked at Ling Xiaojun, "Why don't you be the image spokesperson of our restaurant, you are so handsome, you will definitely be able to attract many customers." ”
Ling Xiaojun glanced at Xia Ruoxue, "I want to be a chef, and I have to be a chef." ”
Of course, Xia Ruoxue didn't know the meaning of Ling Xiaojun's words, and thought that this guy had the heart of a chef. She naturally wouldn't object, "Okay, we just don't need a chef, but," Xia Ruoxue said halfway, stopped and looked at Ling Xiaojun, her eyes seemed to be smiling, "We are implementing the chef listing system, if your cooking skills are very good, there will definitely be many people who will appoint you to be in charge in the future, but if your cooking skills are not good, people will not order you, it may be a little ugly." ”
"What? Are you worried about my cooking skills? ”
"To be honest, it's a little, how old are you, I saw you beat six or seven gangsters away by yourself that day, I thought you should be a soldier, or a military academy, but then I saw from my father's information that you are just a liberal arts college graduate, you said you can cook, and it is delicious, I believe it, but you said you can be a chef, I really don't believe it." Xia Ruoxue was also afraid that Ling Xiaojun was impulsive, so she made the situation clear now.
"Cut, where's the kitchen? Also, what is my number? Ling Xiaojun ignored Xia Ruoxue's concerns.
"You're the eighth chef, so you're number eight, and the kitchen is on the first floor. I'll take you. Xia Ruoxue was about to drag Ling Tian to the kitchen, but was stopped by Ling Xiaojun.
"It's good for me to go by myself, you're the boss here, let others see it and think I'm going through the back door. It is not convenient for you to manage in the future. Ling Xiaojun didn't want to be too close to Xia Ruoxue, he was very confident in his self-control, but the reason for his confidence was that he believed that he would never be able to resist Xia Ruoxue's temptation, even if Xia Ruoxue's mother had humiliated him in person, even if the mission stipulated that he could not mix any other feelings with Xia Ruoxue, he would definitely not be able to do so.
"I've been pretending to be cute and cute in front of me, don't think I don't know that you have a crush on me, I can't afford to provoke me, I can afford to hide." Walking to the kitchen alone, Ling Xiaojun muttered.
It's not yet time to eat, Ling Xiaojun wandered around the kitchen, turned around and entered the dressing room, there were one to eight, eight wardrobes inside, only the eighth wardrobe still had a key on it, it should be no one used yet, Ling Xiaojun opened the closet and found that there was only a new set of chef's clothes inside, and there was nothing else.
"It seems that there is really a chef missing, so let me put on this robe." Ling Xiaojun changed into chef clothes, his figure was originally very standard, but chefs' clothes were generally one size larger, so he was a little big when he wore them.
Ling Xiaojun put on his chef hat and was about to find a mirror to take a look at, straighten his clothes, and when he turned around, he saw a white bulletin board. If you take a closer look, you can see the usual achievements of each chef.
No. 1 chef, Xie Yiming, special, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Thai cuisine, praise rate, 85%, last month's total special director, 58 orders.
No. 2 chef, Zhao Fugui, special, Northeast cuisine, Lu cuisine, RB cuisine, praise rate, 87%, last month's total special director, 47 orders.
Chef No. 3, Xu Sier, specialty, Western food, desserts, Korean food, praise rate, 90%, last month's cumulative special director, 84 orders.
Ling Xiaojun looked down one by one, in addition to the three chefs above, No. 4 to No. 7 were Ma Xuedong, Deng Weiguo, Bi Xueche, Peng Fei, and the cuisines they were good at were also different, and the eight major cuisines were basically included, and everyone was also good at one or two foreign dishes. Everyone's praise rate is above 80%, and the lowest Deng Weiguo has a praise rate of 82%.
I don't know where Xia Ruoxue found so many chefs, divided into categories, there are chefs who can cook each cuisine, and people just say that the feature is a certain cuisine, but they don't say that they will only cook these kinds of cuisine.
"This girl, she really got the true inheritance of his Lao Tzu, she is so good at doing business, such a good restaurant, it is difficult to think about business." When Ling Xiaojun saw these achievements, he naturally thought of the second requirement of his task, to become the chef with the most customers, but also the most complaints.
"Pit! I can only cook one dish a day, and the third requirement of the task is that my dishes are ten times more expensive than other chefs, and things are more expensive than others, and I have to have the most customers, which is not counted, and I must complain the most, and it will be noon soon, which is to make the old man how to be good. ”
Ling Xiaojun shook his head vigorously, all the dishes here can be cooked, so it is impossible to rely on the characteristics.
"Ling Xiaojun, the chefs are going to work soon, you can get ready." Xia Ruoxue still followed in, and saw Ling Xiaojun staring at the performance version. "How, do you have faith? Compare them all. ”
Ling Xiaojun was slightly stunned, since the tasks have been accepted, instead of sighing here, it is better to do his best and work hard. It's a month, but if you can only cook one dish a day, you have to make good use of it every day.
"Yes, but Ruoxue, you have to do me a few favors."
"What's the busy?" Xia Ruoxue looked at Ling Xiaojun suspiciously.
"Number one, the dishes I make are sold for ten times more than the other chefs."
"Huh?" Xia Ruoxue's eyes widened, thinking that she had misheard. The chefs she invited were all chefs that her cousin helped her find, and some of them were even famous, this Ling Xiaojun, a newly graduated liberal arts student, made dishes that cost ten times the price of others, isn't this really wrong?
"Don't get excited, listen to me," Ling Xiaojun continued, "Second, I only cook one dish every day, if no one orders it, the restaurant can only arrange for me to cook one dish, if someone orders me to take the spoon, no matter how much he orders, I will only cook one dish, whether he is happy or unhappy, I will only cook one dish." As for the rest of the time, I can do chores, after all, I'm here to work, and I can't finish a single dish and leave work. ”
"Ling Xiaojun, what kind of trouble are you doing?" Xia Ruoxue was stunned by Ling Xiaojun's request.
Ling Xiaojun didn't care about Xia Ruoxue's reaction, and pulled Xia Ruoxue to the kitchen. "Ruoxue, you can order me for today's dish."
"Huh? What do you mean? Xia Ruoxue is getting more and more confused.
"I told you to appoint me to cook a dish for you."
"Oh, so what am I going to eat?" Xia Ruoxue looked at Ling Xiaojun blankly, she didn't know what Ling Xiaojun was messing with, just order it, he was afraid that Ling Xiaojun wouldn't do it, so he asked such an inexplicable sentence.
"Damn, how do I know what you're going to eat, just order whatever."
"Oh, then I'll appoint Chef No. 8 to make me one, well, squirrel fish." Xia Ruoxue originally wanted to eat squirrel cinnamon fish, but as soon as she said it, she suddenly felt that this dish would not be too difficult, "Then I'll eat egg fried rice." ”
Ling Xiaojun glanced at Xia Ruoxue, "Egg fried rice, you are big, do you think my brother is first-class?" Ling Xiaojun turned his head to look at the plastic tank containing live fish on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, "You go out and wait." ”
"No, I want to watch you do it." Xia Ruoxue pouted, she really didn't believe that Ling Xiaojun, a college graduate, could cook such a difficult dish.
"Are you sure you're going to watch me do it?" The corners of his mouth were raised crookedly, and Ling Xiaojun flashed a ruffian smile, "Then you will love, oh no, you will worship me." ”
Ling Xiaojun originally wanted to say that he would fall in love with him, but when he thought of the fourth fateful request, he quickly changed his words.
