Chapter 117: Marvel
On the first day of opening, it was unusually smooth.
The shareholders, the invited guests, and the guests who were drawn through the lucky draw before, tasted the various dishes of Yunlai Restaurant. On the first day, Chen Qiuniang made all the dishes that could be on the menu, except for those that were on sale that day. Of course, this is definitely not her alone, if she wants to do it alone, it must be exhausted.
The food is all made by the chefs and apprentices she has trained. In this selection of chefs and apprentices, there were famous chefs to apply, Chen Qiuniang looked at the other party's conditions, as well as various adaptability, and upside, most of them politely refused, and only a small number of relatively young, but really sharp people in cooking skills were retained. In addition, a group of highly potential apprentices were selected by her. Of course, the most potential chefs in this group are Li Kai, Chen Mo, and Zhou Ming. That's right, these three people are the chefs of Luo Hao in Zhuxi Mountain, although they are from Yeluzi, they have a strong ability to comprehend cooking.
On the first day of Yunlai Hotel's open recruitment of chef apprentices, the three of them packed up their bags and came to Chen Qiuniang. The three of them all said that the big boss allowed it, and said that their achievements in the future have nothing to do with Zhuxi Mountain, after all, Zhuxi Mountain is a mountain bandit, and with this kind of past, they can't become chefs. Luo Hao also said to the three of them: "Go ahead, Qiu Niang is a genius, good at cooking, and very knowledgeable." And I won't hide it from you in terms of skills. If you follow her, you will achieve great things. β
"Master Luo thinks so highly of me!" Chen Qiuniang said with a smile.
Zhou Ming touched his head, smiled, and said, "Jiang Gongzi is powerful himself." β
"Haha, you're going to be observant. Seeing that someone else was called Jiang Gongzi, he directly saved Qiu Niang. Li Kai quipped.
Chen Mo said very calmly: "As a chef, it is necessary to be keenly observant, and it is also necessary to be able to distinguish subtle differences. Qiu Niang is dressed in a straight dress, with a square scarf and her hair, and she is a handsome son. And the people around him call him Jiang Gongzi, which must have a deep meaning, in front of people, we must be like this. β
Chen Qiuniang chuckled, and did not affirm their statement, but said: "There will be no Chen Qiuniang in the world from now on, only Jiang Yunjiang Danfeng." β
The three of them are also very measured people, and when they heard Chen Qiuniang say this, they didn't ask the reason, they only said in unison: "Jiang Gongzi, rest assured, we will work hard to become the head of Yunlai Inn." β
In the subsequent training, these three people and a newly recruited teenager named Long Wen studied very well, Chen Qiuniang only clicked one or two, and the four of them did seven or eight points. Even Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but sigh that these four people were really geniuses in the culinary world. I am still wondering if I will teach them how to make some desserts in the future.
In short, Chen Qiuniang also gained a lot from this first recruitment, finding four chef wizards, and at the same time recruiting an elderly master to be a consultant. This master is said to be one of the imperial chefs in the Houshu Imperial Palace, and later because he broke his leg, he told the old man to return to his hometown to live in Qingming Lane in this Liuhe Town, originally opened a small restaurant, but a few years ago the small restaurant suddenly caught fire, affecting the house. In the end, the two sons fought for the only family fortune regardless of family affection. Physically unwell, with a cold family relationship, and psychologically devastated, the old chef was devastated and eventually fell ill. After recovering from his illness, the old chef did not have the heart to open a small restaurant again, nor did he have the heart to be hired. Until Chen Wenzheng and Chen Qiuniang came to the door and impressed him with a dish of mapo tofu.
Of course, there were no chili peppers in that dynasty, and the flavor of dogwood and peppercorns was blended. Of course, that dish was not called mapo tofu at that time, but Chen Qiuniang still brought the legend of mapo tofu to the old man, and chatted with the old man, and made an extremely simple meal for him.
In the end, the old man agreed to come out of the mountain to serve as the head chef of the Yunlai Inn. Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng personally presented shares to the old man as a sign of respect.
"You two dolls are very measured in their work, and they are people who have achieved great things. Especially you doll. The old man's hair was all white, but his ears and eyes were clear, and he couldn't stop nodding when he looked at Chen Qiuniang.
Chen Qiuniang smiled and said, "I am fortunate to have Mr. Fang's guidance." β
The old man shook his head and asked the two of them to call him grandpa, and as for any shares, he didn't want them. The two politely said that since they don't want shares, this hard work is always required. This has gone through many years, and from now on, serving Grandpa Fang is what it should be. Mr. Fang was in tears, and promised that the two of them would definitely give each other. After that, Chen Wenzheng and Chen Qiuniang boiled delicious porridge for the old man and talked to him about the idea of the restaurant.
Mr. Fang was full of praise, but in the end he said something inexplicable, and when he sent the two out of the house, he said, "Danfeng, you remind me of a person." I've been thinking about who you look like, but now I remember. β
Chen Qiuniang's heart tightened, and she secretly wondered if she guessed correctly, her life experience was actually related to the Houshu court. Otherwise, Luo Hao, who is the commander of the soldiers and horses of Chengdu Mansion, and the imperial chef of this palace would say so.
"Ah, Grandpa Fang, who am I like?" Chen Qian asked. I thought that this old man would always tell the truth, but Mr. Fang still shook his head and said, "If you look closely, it doesn't look like it." β
"Who?" Chen Qiuniang asked again.
Mr. Fang wiped away a handful of old tears, shook his head and said, "The past is over, the past is over." Not chasable, not chased. β
Chen Wenzheng pulled Chen Qiuniang and whispered: "The old gentleman is the imperial chef of the palace, and it is said that the emperor liked the good dishes he made back then. Now, the kingdom of Shu is dead, and the old gentleman has always been depressed, don't ask more, the person he said is probably a person in the palace. β
Chen Qiuniang didn't ask again, but she kept thinking that after the opening, she had to go back to Liucun and find Chen Liu's to ask her life story thoroughly. Otherwise, I always feel insecure and feel hairy.
In short, I invited the imperial chef to the palace to give guidance, and Chen Qiuniang personally trained and supervised. On the first day of opening, 100 types of dishes were made, including Western-style desserts. Respected people, celebrities in the food industry, famous chefs, five guests selected by the lottery, and major shareholders were invited to taste the dishes on the first day.
Everyone was full of praise for the dishes at Yunlai Inn, and after tasting them one after another, they didn't feel that their stomachs were already very supportive. After tasting the dishes, the Yunlai Inn is open to diners.
The first guests were those who held the discount coupons previously issued by Yunlai Inn. The dining at Yunlai Inn is actually Chinese fast food in the early Song Dynasty. Bamboo plates, white porcelain bowls and celadon soup bowls printed with the words of Yunlai Hotel, chopsticks with wood lacquer, and white porcelain soup spoons are all marked by Yunlai Inn and the manufacturer. It's just too lofty.
When the Yunlai Hotel officially opened, it was really like a cloud. When the expected meals were sold out, there was still a long queue behind them. People want to try the taste of this meat dish and satisfy the feeling of eating in a beautifully decorated temple, especially if the tableware is exquisite, and it is not the porcelain bowl in the pΓΉ of the pΓΉ shop. Moreover, this hotel also has an imperial chef, and Jiang Gongzi, who was born in a famous chef family, personally created the grade specifications of Yunlai Inn, even if it is a little more expensive here, it doesn't matter.
"It's too expensive to go to a better restaurant; Buying and carrying goods to eat on the street always feels unclean and undignified. This restaurant is good, the dishes are good, cheap, decent, and it is really cost-effective. "The well-fed guest said to others.
Chen Qiuniang was wearing coarse cloth clothes and listened to feedback in the crowd. Hearing this person's words, Chen Qiuniang couldn't help laughing. This is also the reason why she thought this business was okay in the first place.
On the first day, in addition to the various opening expenses and the cost of the dishes tasted, the dishes were added seven times, and the water was the same as the water banquet until the whole Silk Street was lit up in the evening.
On this day, people meet and ask if they have eaten at Yunlai Restaurant? That dish is really good, how how.
On this day, the kitchen staff and lobby attendants of Yunlai Inn were so tired that their feet did not fall to the ground, and they were half dead. Even the three waiters at the cash register were so tired that they asked for a break, saying that their calculations were muddy.
When it closed in the evening, Xiaoqing, Chen Wenzheng, and Panqing calculated the turnover, and the claws of the calculation were sour. Looking forward to liquidation, Xiaoqing checked, and Chen Wenzheng finally checked.
The turnover stunned the three of them, and all three of them were prepared to lose money on the first day. Moreover, Chen Qiuniang's pricing is so low, they all feel that they can't make any money.
"This--how much does this net gain?" Pan Qing asked uncertainly.
"Excluding today's expenses, costs, and labor costs, I made a net profit of two hundred taels. This, how is this possible. Xiaoqing was also very surprised.
So the three of them felt that they had miscalculated, and they went back and forth twice, and finally determined that they really made a net profit of two hundred taels.
"Oh my God. I never thought it would be like this, like this-" Panqing was very excited.
Chen Wenzheng didn't speak, but finally said: "I never thought that Danfeng is really a god-like being." β
Xiaoqing took a deep breath and said, "I, I think every state capital will have our store in the future, I really can't think of it." β
"However, the money on the first day cannot be counted, it depends on the month." Chen Wenzheng has calmed down in this short period of time.
"Uh-huh, well, wait a month." Pan Qing also agreed.
Chen Wenzheng's master and servant couldn't sleep excitedly and walked around the courtyard. Chen Wenzheng and Xiaoqing also went to the inn to check the situation of tomorrow's ingredients. I checked the accommodation of the waiters again, and in short, the waistband of the trousers was full of energy.
Chen Qiuniang expected it to be successful, but she didn't expect it to be so successful. She applied all the advanced marketing concepts of that time and space, based on the people, and introduced the concept of fast food into this time and space.
"Well, in the future, we can also introduce retail malls like Walmart all over the country." This is what Chen Qiuniang thinks in her heart, but that is already in the future. Now, there are more important things for her to think about. RS
