Chapter 146: The Decisive Battle of a Thousand (Part I)
"It's ...... What's the situation? ”
Twenty minutes later, Yin Xin stepped out of the car, and the smile that was confident twenty minutes ago instantly turned into a stunned look, and his jaw could no longer be closed as if it had been dislocated. And Zu Xue'er's expression was similar, looking at the building in front of her, her expression changed wildly. At this time, the eyes of both people fell on the four big characters on the signboard of the building in front of them:
"Staff cafeteria."
"What does that mean?" Yin Xin turned around mechanically, and asked Ji Wenqi stiffly pointing at these four words.
"As you can see, it's the staff cafeteria." Ji Wenqi shrugged.
"Thank you, principal, I know kanji! I just don't understand, why are we here? Yin Xin asked with a headache in his head.
"Cook for the staff." Ji Wenqi shrugged again.
"What?" Yin Xin and Zu Xueer said in unison.
"Well, I'll explain it to you. Here, in fact, Tianhai City CBD, that is, a star-rated employee cafeteria in the central business district, which provides about 5,000 white-collar employees of 4 nearby company headquarters, 2 shopping malls, and 1 multinational group. White-collar workers, unlike ordinary people at the lower levels of society, are much more knowledgeable in terms of education, knowledge, and taste, and I mean, their tastes are much more sophisticated. It is your task today to satisfy the quantity so that they are well fed and have the energy to continue working, but also to ensure nutrition and taste. ”
With that, Ji Wenqi walked up the steps of the cafeteria and slowly turned around:
"To ensure fairness, the canteen will be open as usual today, and the other chefs will serve the food as usual, you are just two chefs mixed in with these canteen stalls. But don't worry, we will make a special reminder that two new chefs have come today, which will bring them different tastes, and you don't have to think about the problem of ingredients and preparation, I will arrange for someone to provide you with an inexhaustible supply of processed ingredients, which will be continuously delivered to your stove, and the content of the ingredients is determined by you. Of course, you can't be too luxurious, otherwise you will be suspected of using expensive ingredients to cheat, and if you are caught, you will lose your qualification for the exam. ”
"Headmaster, I have a question! This competition. Since it is held in the cafeteria, how should we decide the winner!? Zu Xue'er stepped forward and aggressively asked the question she was most concerned about.
"Hmm...... That's a good question. If I intervene directly, your hearty father will probably suspect me again, so leave the decision to your customers. The game...... Whoever sells more food will win! Ji Wenqi said with a smile.
"What?"
Yin Xin and Zu Xue'er glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of chill in each other's eyes. Ji Wenqi hurriedly added further:
"Oh, by the way, you don't have to consider the price in it, because eating here is a buffet, and their company has already come out of the meal money, as long as you can eat, you can eat as much as you want, so you can do it with confidence."
As he spoke, Ji Wenqi glanced at his watch:
"Time is pressing, there is still an hour to go, and the meal will be served, and you will be facing a huge number of guests. Hurry up and tell me about the materials, I will send someone to prepare immediately, please start preparing too, otherwise, you will not be able to face such a huge flow of passengers! ”
Yin Xin picked up the toolbox and walked into the cafeteria without saying a word. I see, is it a real scenario as a test for actual combat assessment? This is nothing to Yin Xin, who has been the kitchen leader of the Kyushu Hall for a long time. And Zu Xue'er also snorted coldly, picked up the box and walked into the cafeteria, she can be regarded as a person who can take charge of the food for the sky, so she is completely confident of victory......
Looking at the two who didn't say a word and walked away separately, Ji Wenqi suddenly showed a smile like an old naughty boy:
"Naive. Do you think that the situation in canteens and restaurants is similar? Hehe, you're thinking wrong. Today, you will really understand what a real battlefield is! ”
Yin Xin walked into the hall, glanced at it, and couldn't help but nod. This place is worthy of being able to accommodate 5,000 people to eat at the same time, it is huge, and the canteen here is not like a general canteen, with a neat row of windows, but scattered in the hall, surrounded by tables and chairs. That's right, this should undoubtedly be called an indoor dining street, not an ordinary staff canteen!
If the tables and chairs here are compared to a sea of stars, these stalls stand in this ocean like islands, fighting for themselves. However, although the sparrows are small, these kitchens are crammed with enough stoves and cooking utensils for 12 chefs to operate at the same time, and because they are open kitchens, customers can directly see the chefs' every move, and around the open kitchen, there is a circle of circular dining tables, and I am afraid that the prepared food will be placed directly on these counters for customers to take for their own use.
Obviously, this is a kind of self-service canteen, and Yin Xin has to play the role of both a chef and a waiter today, responsible for putting the prepared food on these tables as soon as possible for customers to eat by themselves. Now that the situation has been roughly figured out, the next thing to consider is today's recipe!
It's noon, and in order for guests to have the energy to finish their afternoon's work, lunch must be nutritious. But it can't be greasy and full, if it's too greasy and full, it will make people drowsy all afternoon, which will affect work efficiency.
Other than that, there is no doubt that speed should be taken into account. This contest is based on who sells the most to win, and in this case, if you use time-consuming and laborious foods such as ramen, soup, and dumplings, there is no doubt that you will be looking for death. In order to ensure speed, on the basis of complying with the first two, foods such as stir-frying, deep-frying, and pan-frying are very suitable!
Yin Xin took out the snow-flavored recipe and put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, then turned on the gas stove and threw the small note into the blazing blue flames. A flash of green smoke flashed, and the note was instantly burned to ashes. Although he had only tried this kind of difficult recipe once before, if he wanted to achieve an overwhelming victory over Zu Xue'er, he could only bite the bullet!
"Please start preparing the ingredients immediately, listen, the ingredients I used today are ......"
After deciding on today's menu, Yin Xin immediately told the people who came with the ingredients. After carefully remembering all the materials, the visitor politely asked:
"So, Chef Yin, how many portions of these ingredients do you need?"
Yin Xin pondered for a moment and then said:
"50 kilograms each."
"Okay."
After speaking, the person who came was about to turn around, but was suddenly stopped by Yin Xin:
"Wait...... No, I changed my mind. All, give me 100 kg! ”
(Partition strong push, kneeling for recommendation, now the shape shì is good, everyone works hard)
