Chapter 285: Hot Opening! (below)
The next day, in Jian'an City, the news that a very special restaurant was going to open at No. 19 Food Street spread. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The passers-by who were lucky enough to taste a little hot pot food in front of Lin Can's house the day before were all so excited that they described to their relatives and friends how wonderful the taste of the hot pot was.
But one thing that is very bad is that when these passers-by describe it, they are talking about a big pot of spices, and then the raw meat and vegetables are put in the pot and boiled for a few minutes, and then they can be taken out and eaten.
For Chinese cuisine with such exquisite craftsmanship, this cooking technique of hot pot is simply primitive. Can such a simple and original cooking process really cook the delicious food they say they are talking about?
After all, whether it's a food section on TV or a description in some food magazine, when describing the process of making a gourmet dish, the whole process is usually depicted in great detail.
Descriptions such as shreds cut into hair, simmered for two hours, and stock for a variety of flavors are all designed to highlight the difficulty of the entire cooking process.
Even when some clever chefs are cooking, the onlookers are like watching a wonderful performance, which is completely the pinnacle of visual enjoyment.
Chinese cuisine is all about color, flavor and flavor, and one of the most important points is this "color", in fact, it not only refers to the color matching of the dish after the finished product should be beautiful, but also refers to the whole process of making the dish should be beautiful.
However, all this is not seen in the hot pot cuisine.
A large pot of boiling water, plus some special seasonings, and some casually cut raw meat and vegetables, it's as simple as that, no need for a chef, and no special skills and effort, any ordinary person, as long as they can use chopsticks, simply put the dishes they want to eat into the water and cook it, and after a few minutes, it can be eaten.
Such a simple cooking method can be said to be unheard of and unseen in this world, even for those foreigners who pay attention to simple and fast cooking, there are few methods like this.
Hot pot, can you really eat it?
Hot pot, is it really that delicious?
These two questions exist in the minds of many Jian'an people who have heard the name of hot pot.
Of course, all those who have this kind of doubt are people who have never really smelled the aroma of hot pot, let alone eaten hot pot food.
There is no need to explain anything to them, they just need to taste it themselves, even if it is just one bite, and they will naturally know it in their hearts.
At No. 19 Food Street, Lin Can's family was busy in the store all day today, because although the previous preparations were relatively sufficient, they all started recruiting on a temporary basis in terms of manpower.
In the entire Lin Kee Haidilao hot pot restaurant, there is no chef in charge of cooking, and some are just some assistant chefs who are responsible for cutting and dividing vegetables.
However, there are a little more waiters than in ordinary restaurants.
These waiters basically don't know what kind of delicious food this Lin Ji Haidilao hot pot restaurant is going to sell.
They looked at the induction cookers installed on the tables, and then looked at the pots prepared in the backstage, but they had never seen such a strange restaurant.
"Xiaofang, what do you say our hot pot restaurant is eating? The boss and the hostess didn't even invite a chef, and I don't see a single dish on our menu! It's all raw meat and vegetables, which ...... How does this make customers eat? Do you want customers to cook it themselves? ”
Zhang Li is 25 years old this year, it can be said that she is a senior waiter in the catering industry, she has worked as a waiter in several large hotels, and even served as a foreman, and she is very familiar with the kitchen mechanism of major restaurants.
However, when she applied for this Lin Ji Haidilao hot pot restaurant, Zhang Li was blinded.
Because in this hot pot restaurant, there are no pots in the kitchen, but there are induction cookers on the dining table, there is no chef, but there is a wave of vegetable chopping helpers, and there are no familiar names on the menu, but there are a lot of raw meat and vegetables.
"Sister Li, this ...... I don't know about this, but didn't the boss and the lady tell us? As long as the customer is served according to the established process, anyway, let the customer cook and eat in this pot by himself......"
Another waiter, Chen Fang, has always been with Zhang Li, and the two have worked as waiters in several hotels together, and it is the first time to see such a strange restaurant.
"Forget it! We're just waiters anyway, so we can't care so much. It's going to open tomorrow, and I'm really curious, there will be people coming to eat at such a restaurant? When the time comes, as soon as the guests walk in and see that the menu is full of raw meat and vegetables, they will immediately get up and leave......"
Sighing, for now, for Zhang Li and most of the waiters, they don't know what this hot pot restaurant wants customers to eat, is it really just a pot of raw meat and vegetables to cook and scoop up?
"That's it! Is there any of you who doesn't know the process? Remember, the customer is God, and any request of the customer must be met and maintain a good attitude, do you know? ”
Today, all day long, Lin Can personally trained all the waiters. The most important core requirement is actually the four words "customer first", that is, to maintain the best service attitude to customers.
"Got it!"
Although the waiters didn't know what this hot pot restaurant wanted customers to eat, they were also convinced by the series of service processes that Lin Can just said.
Especially the phrase "the customer is God" makes them feel refreshed, especially Zhang Li, an experienced waiter, has a very deep understanding of the waiter's service attitude on the performance of a restaurant, if the service is good, even if the dish is not so delicious, old customers will come to the door frequently, on the contrary, if the service attitude is not good, even if the dish is delicious, people do not necessarily have to come to your house to eat.
It's just that Zhang Li feels that Lin Can's set of such a practical service concept is really a pity to waste it on such a wonderful hot pot restaurant.
"Yes! Not bad! Since everyone remembers, then tomorrow morning at six o'clock, everyone must be on time, and then open on time at eight o'clock! ”
Lin Can nodded with satisfaction, now that the advertisement has been played, the ingredients in the store are ready, and the waiters are almost trained, everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, and then we will wait for the hot opening of Lin Ji Haidilao Hot Pot Restaurant tomorrow.
