Chapter 190: Seasoning Cultivation and Adjustment of Private Vegetables

As the vegetable base began to produce batches, Li Youran also began to reduce the planting and harvesting of local crops in the space, and gradually handed over the work as planned.

At present, it seems that the handover process is relatively smooth.

A large number of crops in the space are no longer harvested, but wait for their natural growth, flowering and fruiting before being planted.

In this way, many fields began to be idle, and after consideration, he planned to plant some spices with short growth cycles first.

Steamed bun shops and private restaurants have always used space vegetables, but the various condiments in the kitchen are still ordinary goods bought from the market. Li leisurely thought that although the final taste of food depends on the quality of the raw materials, the chef's use of various condiments in the cooking process should not be ignored, and the use of space to grow seasonings will definitely be much stronger than similar varieties in the real world, which can further enhance the texture and taste of the food.

Of course, he doesn't have the ability to do anything big and complete, that is, all the ingredients for food production are produced by space, and there is no need for that. In fact, one or two good main ingredients in the preparation of a food are enough to make it taste very delicious, but only if the other ingredients are not too inferior.

After thinking about it for a while, after sifting through it, I decided to start with three common spices, namely chili, green onions, and ginger.

Originally, he wanted to get more varieties, such as peppercorns, big ingredients, etc., but these things are arbor fruits, and the growth cycle is too long, so it is not worth getting.

So, Li Youran first sowed the chili pepper seeds bought from the farmers' market on the land of the space, which is the Chaotian pepper variety.

Chili pepper is one of the most important spices, which used to be mainly eaten by southerners, but now with the development, many regions in the north are also inseparable from this thing. Chili peppers are different from other spices, fresh chili peppers can be used as dishes, and dried chili peppers are used as seasonings and have many uses.

Then there are the seeds of green onions, which needless to say have a unique rich shallot aroma, which makes most Chinese cooking inseparable from it.

Finally, ginger is used similarly to green onions, and the planting method is simply to bury the sprouted ginger pieces in the shallow soil. While this refers to the space of the land, there are some other troublesome procedures in reality.

It took about two hours to plant, and all that's left was to wait.

However, the main purpose of these condiments is not to supply the kitchen directly, but to cultivate the seeds like other vegetables, and then hand over the seeds to the vegetable base for planting after success.

In the future, the space land will mainly be reserved for seed fields. Then the other part considers planting some flowers and herbs.

Of course, the latter two items are more complicated, in addition to the ginseng planted in the early stage, he needs to further study and research to find the most suitable varieties.

*****************************

On the side of the private restaurant of Youran Farm, because the supply of special vegetables has come up, the backyard fish pond has increased the breeding density, and it has not dragged its feet, and the time is ripe to continue to expand its business.

On the morning of this day, Li Youran summoned Liu Senjiang and Chen Chuanzhong, two chefs, to the office for a meeting, and the topics were two: 1. Expanding business. 2. The banquet is divided into grades.

After discussion, the three of them first decided to expand the private restaurant from two tables a day to four tables. As for whether it will be two tables at noon and two tables in the evening, or four tables at night, it is up to the two chefs to decide according to the actual situation and the customer's reaction.

However, even if it is the latter plan, it doesn't matter, there are a total of four private rooms in the private restaurant, and only half of them are currently used, and there are two empty rooms. If the business is expanded, then all four private rooms can be used, as for the name, it was originally distinguished by No. 1, 2, 3 and 4, which is really not stylish and distinctive.

Li Youran proposed to use the four gentlemen of "plum", "orchid", "bamboo" and "chrysanthemum" to identify them, and then use the corresponding font size when they are called. For example, a certain guest booked a private room with the "bamboo" brand, which is not only elegant but also easy to manage.

Although this suggestion is not a first of its kind, there are already some high-end restaurants that use it. But it was still accepted by the two chefs, Liu and Chen.

In addition, the issue of the quality of the dishes and banquets will be further deepened based on the results of the last meeting.

The original way of booking a table without ordering food is still maintained, but it has to be made some workarounds, not too stiff...,

In the past, due to the limitation of raw materials, many ideas could not be realized. Now these problems have begun to be solved gradually, so it is necessary to further improve the quality of private dishes in the farm.

Li Youran proposed that the private restaurant of Youran Farm should be made into a golden signboard, in this case, it is necessary to set up some signature dishes, not only to let customers praise the fresh and delicious raw materials, but also to leave a deep impression on the distinctive cooking dishes. Of course, the latter requires the joint efforts of the two chefs.

Liu Senjiang also agreed, saying that the creation of a gold-lettered signboard for the farm's private dishes was in line with his wishes.

Since there is no problem with the quantity of raw materials and the variety of colors, it is easy to solve the problem in terms of the style of dishes. His idea is this, each table should set a number of main dishes, a number of side dishes, soups, cold dishes, dried fruits, fruits, etc., as well as meat and vegetable combinations, these factors can be determined in a standard form.

However, the specific dishes are flexibly controlled by the chef according to the season and availability.

Then, the private restaurant creates a few signature dishes, ensuring that each table contains one or two signature dishes.

In addition, some high-end fish have been imported into the backyard fish pond, and he and Chef Chen have also gone to the scene to check, and these edible fish are very good and can fully meet the requirements of use.

Regarding the issue of increasing the price of the banquet by grade that Li Youran told them in the early stage, he also thought about it carefully.

This matter can be solved in this way, setting a banquet of 10,000 tables as the benchmark banquet, with a grade of C, and then above it are Grade B and Grade A, with an increase of 2,000 and 5,000 yuan respectively on the benchmark price.

When a guest makes a reservation, they can explain what kind of banquet they need.

The three levels of banquets are not necessarily distinguished by dishes, but are more just opened by materials, such as chrysanthemum fish and steamed fish in the benchmark banquet, and carp and grass carp are used; Then in the second class banquet, this dish uses sea bass, mandarin fish or other fish of the same grade; When it comes to the Grade A banquet, the ingredients of this dish are changed to anchovy or fish of the same grade.

Of course, as far as he knows, the logistics department has not yet obtained the materials required for the Class A banquet, and he needs to continue to work hard.

After Liu Senjiang's analysis and summary, the grade system of private dishes has become clear, which can meet the requirements of different types of guests. After listening to this, Li Youran nodded frequently.

Next, Chen Chuanzhong also made some additions.

In this way, after the joint discussion of the three people, the issue of dividing the banquet grade of the private restaurant was finally finalized. Clear
