Chapter 26 The opening of the restaurant

(Thanks to the book friend Shi Qianhe for 500 coins, and the book friend L599XL for 100 coins for the tip.) )

Opening a restaurant is not just a matter of mouth.

There is so much to do in the transformation from a snack shop to a restaurant.

Tables, chairs and benches have to be bought, right? You have to hire a second cook, right?

The most important thing is to advertise well and let the people of Gangneung City know about it.

Otherwise, when the restaurant opens, all the diners who come are queuing up to buy finger cakes, how embarrassing it will be.

There is no doubt that finger cakes are the fist product of the Ning family, but the diners that Ning Xiu wants are by no means limited to this.

It took five days for Ning Xiu to make all the preparations.

The hired cooks have worked in other restaurants for at least three years, and they don't need to be trained to work.

As for the food runners, they also hired three or four, which is enough for the current scale of Ning Kee Restaurant.

It's easy to pull the egg when the steps are too big, but it's better to be down-to-earth.

Ning Xiu spent a lot of effort on publicizing this part.

He made a large number of flyers and hired dozens of children to distribute them in Jiangling City, so that the people of Jiangling City knew about the Ning family's new restaurant as much as possible.

The leaflet promoted the main dishes of Ning Kee Restaurant very well, and the focus was that the dishes were all half price for the first three days of opening.

Ning Xiu believed that this alone would attract many people.

Of course, Ning Xiu was not idle in the past five days. Although Daddy Dead has a foundation in cooking, he has never been exposed to these dishes after all. Ning Xiu must be the church father to ensure the normal operation of the restaurant.

After all, he can't spend all day cooking in a restaurant. Then he wouldn't have to read his books.

In the end, the opening time of the restaurant was set for the seventh day of July, and Zhang Sangongzi was also invited to cut the ribbon.

Ning Xiu believes that Zhang Maoxiu's arrival can add a lot of popularity to Ning Kee Restaurant.

After all, in this era, the preferences of powerful sons are weather vanes, and there are not too many people who follow them.

The weather in July was very hot, and the sun hung high, as if the earth was about to dry up and smoke.

Ning Xiu asked the guys to prepare iced sour plum soup, and customers who order more than 30 yuan can get a cup, and if they order more than 50 yuan, they will get a pot.

Most of the diners who come to the restaurant are long-time customers of Ning Kee Restaurant, and they are naturally willing to try the new dishes launched by Ning Kee.

In their opinion, if Ning Kee can make delicious finger cakes, he can make other delicious dishes.

The past few days of opening are also the busiest time for Ning Xiu. He wants to recommend dishes to diners one by one and make these signature dishes famous.

Wait until the trial operation for about a month, and you can leave it to the dead ghost daddy to take care of it.

There are three dishes that Ning Xiu mainly promotes, one is fried chicken, the second is skewers, and the third is pizza.

Fried chicken is the easiest to make, which is nothing more than using freshly slaughtered chicken thighs and wrapping them in oil.

In fact, this thing is not too high-tech, it is just a novelty.

The poor diners of the Ming Dynasty have never eaten this kind of thing, and they are immediately shocked when they taste it.

The same is true for kebabs.

Whole pieces of meat are cut into strips, skewered on bamboo skewers, grilled over charcoal, and sprinkled with spices.

As for the pizza, it took a lot of effort to fix it.

One of the hardest ingredients to make pizza is cheese.

This thing is a must-have for home travel in the West, but in the Ming Dynasty at the same time, it was a rare commodity enjoyed by the court nobles.

For the same reason, the production method is too complicated.

Imperial cheesemaking uses the acid produced by the fermentation of rice wine to combine with the casein in milk to produce curd.

It sounds simple, but the craft is known only to the imperial chefs.

However, these are nothing to Ning Xiu, a doctoral student in chemical engineering.

Acid and casein combine with curd, a very ordinary chemical reaction.

Ning Xiu ordered Shichiro and Shiro to take the milk and boil it to cool, filter off the milk skin, and then add sugar, rice wine, and white vinegar in turn, and stir.

After that, put it in the oven and bake it for half an hour, then take it out and let it cool, and you're done.

The production of cheese was regarded by Ning Xiu as a stunt, so naturally it would not be easy to show people. It's that Shichiro and Shiro didn't master all the processes.

As for the baking process of pizza, there is not much technical content.

It's nothing more than adding vegetables, fruits, dried meat, and cheese, and putting them in the oven to roast.

Chinese people like a hodgepodge, and in this regard, there is not much difference between the people of the Ming Dynasty and later generations.

In fact, Margaret's pizza, the originator of pizza, basically didn't have too many fillings.

But there is no way, Chinese people like to eat braised naan, so they have to make changes to cater to their tastes.

After all, Ning Xiu opened a restaurant to make more money, not to do charity.

"Brother Mao, don't just eat fried chicken. If you eat too much of this thing, it's easy to get angry, so let's try the sour plum soup we made ourselves. Drinking it in the summer is the most to cool off. ”

"Han Gongzi, the skewers are not so delicious...... Look at me, I bite it so directly from one end, tsk, it tastes really good. ”

"Chen Yuanwai, do you really want a meatless and unhappy package? That's a whole lamb pizza with 30 kebabs, and by the way, two pairs of fried chicken wings. There are only two of you, do you really eat? ”

"By the way, the shop does not accept credit, only cash ......"

"Delivery service? I'm sorry it hasn't been launched yet, but Ning believes it will be soon. ”

Whether it is the finger cake or the three dishes newly launched by Ning Xiu, they have never been eaten by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Ning Xiu grasped the psychology of the people's curiosity, and it was difficult for the business to be hot or not.

Diners have also gone from trying it out at the beginning to a frenzied pursuit of the three main courses.

For a time, Ning Kee Restaurant became the most popular existence in Jiangling City.

"Have you heard, Ning Kee Restaurant has opened. It is the original Ning Kee restaurant. They sell not only finger cakes, but also fried chicken, skewers, and pizza. ”

"Eat fried chicken, skewers, pizza and sour plum soup, or how can you say that people would rather remember to do business."

"That fried chicken tastes amazing. The outside is crispy and the inside is tender, and the mouth is full of fragrance when you bite into it. ”

"If you want me to say that the skewers taste better. It doesn't matter if it's lamb or vegetables, when it's roasted on a charcoal fire, the whole taste is sublimated. Hehe, did you say that Ning Ji sprinkled ecstasy on it? Otherwise, how could we be fascinated. ”

"Hmph, what's the big deal, if you let us know about this ingredient, you can make it yourself!"

"That formula is a guarantee for people to make money, how can you let you know, don't ask around."

"Hehe, that's not what I said."

"The pizza tastes amazing. At first glance, it is not much different from other cakes. But when I really took a bite, the whole person melted. That cheese can be pulled into thin wires, and it can be broken by blowing. ”

"Ah, then I'll have to try it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain? ”
