Chapter 159: Open Kitchen

Taking advantage of the introduction of Shopkeeper Li, Shu Jin looked at Chai Yanfeng's legs and his face, and asked:

"Are your legs still good?"

In fact, Chai Yanfeng's face couldn't be better at the moment, because he was happy and a little excited, and he even looked red.

Today, Chai Yanfeng wore a new azure dark pattern robe, with a jade belt around his waist; There was no crown on his head, but after he was curled, he was tied with a green jade headband and a pair of hostas, and the stubble on his face was also scraped clean with a knife, revealing the contour of his entire face. He was standing at the moment, although he was a little weaker with a cane, and his clothes were not very luxurious, but when he looked at him, he felt that he was a little dusty.

Hearing Shu Jin's words, he unconsciously smiled a little affectionately, and replied to her softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." As he spoke, a pair of eyes were dark and bright, and when he looked at Shu Jin, his eyes flashed with joy and pride.

"Well, if you're not feeling well, go to the back of the counter and sit down." Chai Yanfeng was obviously in a good mood, Shu Jin was a little unbearable by him, turned his head to the place where Shopkeeper Li was, and said a little uncomfortably.

"Well, I can save it." Looking at Shu Jin's appearance, Chai Yanfeng secretly smiled in his heart, didn't dwell on it much, and closed his mouth after speaking.

The new dish has been launched, and the people who are about to enjoy Shu Jin's "opening a small stove" service are also confirmed, and there will be nothing to do next. After all, Yipinkaku is a place to do business and eat, and people will naturally not stay long when they are full of food and drink, so except for a few people who have nothing to do and continue to reminisce and talk about the delicious food of Fangcai, the other guests have also dispersed, and the situation in Yipinkaku has also returned to its usual appearance.

At this time, Shu Jin went upstairs to the private room with Chai Yanfeng, the shopkeeper of Li. Not for anything else, but to discuss the renovation of the Ichipankaku Hall. In fact, Shu Jin had also considered this issue earlier. In her opinion, if Yipinge wants to stand out among the many restaurants, she can't rely on her cooking skills alone, so she thought of the popularity that she had inadvertently gathered during the last competition.

In turn, she thought of the open kitchens of some modern big hotels. Having an open kitchen is not only about the novelty that catches people's attention, but also about showing diners how their meals are made and letting them know that their food is really clean. In this way, we can further establish a good reputation of Yipinge.

Today, someone suggested that someone wanted to watch Shu Jin cooking, but in fact, Shu Jin had this idea for a long time. I think that tomorrow will definitely attract many people to come, so it will invisibly increase the flow of Yipinge a lot. Therefore, in the future, you can often let the master chef in the restaurant show his cooking skills in the hall, so that he can gather more popularity.

Shu Jin thought so, and naturally studied how to renovate the hall on the first floor.

This pin pavilion was also a restaurant before Li Hengcheng took over, but it was reopened with a little decoration after Li Hengcheng took over. The hall on the first floor is spacious enough to accommodate a lot of tables and chairs, but it is abrupt to create a stove room in the hall, and it also reduces the area of the hall. Most importantly, it is not good to solve the problem of fireworks when cooking.

However, on the innermost side of the hall on the first floor, there are two small rooms, one at the back of the staircase and the other facing the spacious hall.

There is a passage to pass food in the middle of the wing, and the wing room facing the hall is close to the back stove room, so it is not opened up as a private room, but a utility room.

Because it is a utility room, the door of the wing room is open to the back, and the wall near the hall was originally for the sake of beauty, Li Hengcheng ordered someone to break it, the lower side is the wall, and the upper side is a carved wooden partition after painting. In this way, Shu Jin built yì to remove those partitions, replace them with live window panels, and then clean up this wing room, and then put a stove flue in this room, and will do cooking demonstrations here in the future.

Shu Jin's opinion was unanimously agreed by everyone. Li Hengcheng made a decision right away:

"So let's do it, and we'll start work tomorrow. Shopkeeper Li, you go to find some masons, start the stove and make the flue, and then explain to the guests that the building will be renovated a little today, and Yipin Pavilion is temporarily closed, so please come back tomorrow. ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded in agreement, got up and went to work. Shu Jin studied it with Li Hengcheng again, and then went downstairs to the wing room together. A few people studied together to see how to set it up.

"I think in the future, I can consider asking customers to order a dish, not just a certain dish, but also a certain chef who will cook the dishes himself. The named chef made zuò on the spot for the guests who ordered food in this room for people to observe.

In addition, I plan to ask the tailor master from the county to come over and re-make a few sets of clothes and hats for each master in the building. The color of the clothes should be clean, and the chefs should change and wash frequently, so as to give people a neat and clean impression every time they meet with diners. Shu Jin said his thoughts.

"Well, that's a good idea. Later, he sent for the master tailor. What color should I wear? ”

Shu Jin actually wanted to say white, but unfortunately he also knew that this was unrealistic. You must know that in this time and space, no one wears white unless they mourn. Moreover, people with pure white clothes who are not high enough are not allowed to go even if they are mourning, and at most they wear off-white. So, Shu Jin thought about it and finally decided to use beige gray.

This color is more resistant to dirt than white, and it also looks cleaner.

Not long after, Shopkeeper Li came with a mason, and Shu Jin took out a few sketches. This is the structural diagram of the earthen stove in the countryside that Shu Jin copied before. Shu Jin pointed out to the masons according to this, and told them how to build the stove this time.

At this time, the walls were still built with mud bricks. The mud brick is to first lay a wooden lattice, then stir water + sediment + straw, stir the three together and put it in the wooden lattice, and then use a wooden board to flatten it, put it for two days, and wait until it solidifies and opens the wooden lattice to become a mud brick. Making zuò is time-consuming, but fortunately, the masons know of a workshop that specializes in selling these bricks. So, having spent enough money to buy a sufficient number of mud bricks, a few bricklayers started work vigorously.

After an afternoon of rushing work, a few people finally built a new stove and flue in front of the lamp according to Shu Jin's requirements, which was enough to use the next day, and the rest was slowly improved. Shu Jin also asked the bricklayers to build an oven in the back stove room, so that Shu Jin could make more kinds of food in the future.

After the first qiē was ready, he ordered someone to fill the fire in the new stove to make the new stove dry faster, and everyone in Yipinge also rested after dinner.

Wait for tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
