[0287 chapter].
Qin Feng and Hua Haizhe parted ways, he went to the kitchen to study peony and swallow vegetables, and Hua Haizhe received businessmen who had the intention of cooperation.
To be honest, it is tantamount to a fantasy for employees to raise funds and share shares among themselves, and want to completely unify their thoughts in one night, so those who come to negotiate with Hua Haizhe are all kinds of relatives and friends who have made good friends with the internal staff of the restaurant, and the purpose, without exception, is to contract the breakfast time of the restaurant.
At the same time, in the hot food room, the chef has already gathered economically, and the time for official work has not yet arrived, however, the chefs in the three kitchen rooms have completely changed their kitchen clothes, and they are all gathered in the hot food room to wait for Qin Feng at this time, of course, Luo Feng, the former head chef of the hot food room, still did not attend, according to the conclusion reached after the private communication between the chef and the chef, Luo Feng is more likely to resign.
Qin Feng briefly told them about his experience after going to Langya's house yesterday to observe their peony and swallow dishes, and he said that whether a dish is good or not, in addition to the taste, in fact, the details are more worthy of our careful carving. For example, peony swallow vegetables, we also use shredded chicken, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded mushrooms, shredded sea cucumbers, shredded squid and other accessories, the taste will inevitably be similar, in this regard, it is difficult for us to win, and maybe other restaurants also add flavors, the fragrance can be more attractive than ours...... So, the most important thing is that we still have to win with our hearts.
"So, what does it mean to win with your heart?" Qin Feng asked this question, and without waiting for the chefs to answer, he picked up a radish himself, and removed the head and tail, leaving only a piece of meat about five to six centimeters long in the middle. "Is that enough? I don't think it's enough...... We all know that white radish is not valuable, but peony and swallow vegetables are valuable, so don't worry, use a knife boldly to ......" As he spoke, Qin Feng cut off a thick layer of radish skin, and the closer it was to the skin, the thicker the silk tendons became. If you chew it too old, it will greatly affect the taste.
Then, Qin Feng placed the column-shaped rectangular radish on the cutting board, and used the method of processing raw shredded potatoes, and the kitchen knife "snapped", and at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, he quickly "chopped" a rectangular peeled radish core into slices, instead of the usual "batch" knife. Unlike potatoes, turnips do not have as much starch as the content, after slicing. It is not easy to glue between the slices in one place, so Qin Feng then changed another technique, the blade of the knife slapped horizontally, and the radish slices were slapped into an inclined and stacked state, and then the kitchen knife fell again with a speed beyond common sense, and in the midst of a stunned, the radish was shredded, and the blade of the knife was copied and flicked under the cutting board. The shredded turnips, which remained intact in the shape of a step, fell into a half-filled basin of water until this time, under the force of water. The shredded radish was separated one after another, and when I looked at it, it was as thin as a hair, and I couldn't find anything thicker.
"Such a uniform specification of fake swallow vegetables. is what we need......" Qin Feng said halfway through his words, and the chefs who reacted spontaneously applauded as if they had woken up from a dream. Qin Feng had to press his hands and motioned for them to listen to him.
"Langya's peony and swallow vegetables are not bad, but the thickness of their radish shreds is extremely uneven, to put it mildly, it is less thin and thicker, it doesn't look like a girl's hair, but more like a middle-aged aunt's branched hair."
The happy laughter was remembered around, and under Qin Feng's deliberate creation, the morale in the hot food room was boosted.
Yang Keren said in a timely manner: "Our Chinese cooking has always had the saying of 'no knife is not a dish', the so-called seven-point knife work and three points of hot frying, everyone has seen that Chef Qin's knife is enough to make me, an old chef who has been in charge for 40 years, embarrassed, everyone should take Chef Qin as an example, practice and practice, and strive for everyone to have a good knife technique." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the kitchen was getting more and more enthusiastic, Qin Feng hurriedly stopped their sycophants again, and then said: "It's still good to practice knife skills if you have nothing to do, of course, I don't demand all peony and swallow dishes, and the materials should be as uniform as mine, but those that are too coarse, we must ruthlessly abandon them, so as not to let the miscellaneous visual effects affect the grade of the dishes, and then also affect the grade of our restaurant." ”
After listening to this, the chefs in the kitchen expressed their agreement with Qin Feng's statement, so far, there is nothing else to say, the shredded radish should be soaked in cold water for about half an hour before continuing to process the swallow vegetables, Qin Feng signaled the big guy to disband, and the rest of the time, you can study your basic cooking skills.
"Chef Qin, are you pointing out our knife work?" Just as he was about to leave, someone suddenly proposed such a proposal, and then, this proposal quickly gained the approval of most people.
Qin Feng said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I cherish myself, in fact, anyone who has studied "The Oil Seller" knows a sentence, 'only the hand is familiar', to sum up, since I can remember, I have been practicing knife skills for two hours every day, and it has been maintained for nearly 20 ......years."
Yang Keren interjected: "Now some accelerated chef schools, the time to practice knife skills can basically only last for three months to six months, what can you do in such a short time...... It's not that I'm old, I think at the beginning, I entered the People's Hotel, and for three years of apprenticeship, I only practiced basic skills, and I couldn't cut the vegetables well, and the master didn't consider letting you stand on the stove at all......"
The blow of these words may be a bit big, Qin Feng hurriedly interrupted him and said, "If you really want to practice, you can make a wooden prosthetic hand, use the fingers of the prosthetic hand to put on the ingredients, and when you swing the knife, you don't have to worry about chopping on your fingers...... Of course, this is just some of my sideways thoughts, if you really want to get a good knife work, the secret is still on the word 'practice'. ”
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he left, but Yang Keren was meticulous, stayed and began to urge the chefs to practice shredding, some shredded radish, some shredded potatoes or shredded bamboo shoots, shredded ham, and so on.
Back on the second floor, Li Ruping was brewing milk tea to entertain her to talk about business with Hua Haizhe, and when she saw Qin Feng coming up, she immediately stopped him and said, "Chef Qin, Mr. Hua said, if you are free, please go to his office." ”
"Oh, okay, I'll be right over."
Qin Feng returned to the office and made himself a cup of tea first. It may be a professional relationship, Qin Feng found that people in the chef profession are used to drinking strong tea, so he pays more attention to this aspect, even if the tea feels light in the mouth, he also tries to avoid making the tea too strong. After all, the ancients already knew the truth that warm tea was the most nourishing.
After Qin Feng came to Hua Haizhe's manager's room with a teacup, he learned that Hua Haizhe wanted him to help be a lobbyist, because Hua Haizhe proposed a price that they could not afford, and the venue fee was 200,000 yuan per month. Then, these people stayed in Hua Haizhe's office and didn't leave, grinding and soaking to ask Hua Haizhe to lower the rent price.
Where is Hua Haizhe willing to reduce the rent, take 10,000 steps back and say that even if someone eats the breakfast time of the restaurant at this rent, he will change his way to get some moths out. So when Qin Fengyi entered the manager's room. The lessee and the lessor almost unanimously hope that Qin Feng will come forward to uphold justice.
A staff member of the tenant's restaurant poured bitter water and said: "Chef Qin, you are fair, the monthly rent is 200,000 yuan, that is to say, the net profit of a day will reach 7,000 yuan, and our tenant can barely keep the capital, think about it, how much money can be earned from a bowl of noodles, and how much can a bun earn." Do you know how much shipment this is going to be? ”
Qin Feng had no choice but to say: "You should understand it this way, our restaurant is still a high-end dining place in this area, and the retail price of breakfast can be increased appropriately......
"How much? A meat bun sells for two pieces and five cents? It's the same flour and pork, you sell it half or even twice as much as everyone else. Don't be pointed at your nose and scolded your mother...... "The tenant is a middle-aged woman in her forties, and she retorted excitedly.
Qin Feng said with a smile: "Don't be so excited, if we analyze it calmly, a clean and hygienic breakfast is also one of the high-end forms." People can buy at ease, eat more at ease, and don't care about that little money......"
Hana Haizhe added: "In a popular phrase. Our breakfast is more 'forced' than others...... Also, I don't think two dollars and five cents a meat bun is unacceptable, I bought five meat buns like this morning, not that I pretended to be forced, eight cents a meat bun, the meat is all red, a ball of paste, and I don't eat it for nothing. ”
"You're rich, of course you don't care about the price......"
"It's not about having money or not, isn't it okay, aren't people who don't have money afraid of getting sick? They're more afraid of whether it's good or not......"
"In short, you are deliberately embarrassing us for the rent of 200,000 yuan......"
Hua Haizhe's patience was about to run out, he sank his face and said: "I repeat, we are a big restaurant, and we have a complete set of strict sanitation system, so the people can eat at ease, and the price can be appropriately increased...... In addition, we don't accept our rent request, it's nothing, doing business has always been a two-way choice, however, it needs to be noted that you don't think you can do 200,000 yuan a month, but I am full of confidence here, so I don't have a problem here to make it difficult for you. ”
When the other party wanted to say more, Hua Haizhe drove people away unceremoniously and said, "If you are not sincere, please go back!" Then he shouted at the door of the manager's office, "Next!" ”
The tenant left in a daze, Hua Haizhe hurriedly took a sip of tea, and then said: "I made a mistake, I should call a few security guards to come over......"
"Damn, you use the head chef as a security guard, it's extravagant enough......" Qin Feng couldn't help but complain.
"Let's make a cameo, it's a big deal to invite you to dinner...... "As he spoke, two people came in outside the door, one of them was an aunt-level waiter in a restaurant, and the other was a man about thirty-five years old and dressed very decently.
The waiter's aunt opened her mouth and called "general manager" and "head chef", with a decent attitude, and then introduced the people around her, it is said that it is her eldest nephew, who has been doing business in the south a few years ago, and has made some money, and has recently been looking for a good way to invest, so as not to depreciate and shrink personal assets.
The eldest nephew was full of style, handing Qin Feng and Hua Haizhe a soft box red China, and he himself held a cigar cigarette, and first took a match and burned it on the cigarette very stylishly, and then lit the cigar, and after sitting down, he said: "Mr. Hua, I am a very real person, even if you open it, I don't care about the little money." ”
Qin Feng and Hua Haizhe glanced at each other, and they both found that there was deep suspicion in each other's eyes. (To be continued......)
