Lin Mo swayed,

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm measured, and I didn't say I couldn't make a name for myself. I've got my own recipe. ”

Seeing that a few people were still a little worried, Lin Mo had to divert the topic and said

"Today's twenty taels are not in vain, not only did I eat enough, but also made me realize the problem I hadn't thought about."

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Lin Mo continued:

"First of all, on the dishes, a river fish feast can make thirty-six kinds of tricks, just from this type of know that the chef is not an ordinary person, this kind of person is not good for ordinary people to please please do not move, and then the taste of the thirty-six dishes today I have tasted once, it can be said that the color and taste are good, the lips and teeth are fragrant, but most of these dishes are steamed and stewed, resulting in thirty-six dishes Although they taste good, the taste is too close, and there are few changes. What I want to do is to make new dishes with new methods, and I can at least break out in a restaurant with superb cooking skills like Yuelaiju, which means that I have to have my own specialty. ”

Lin Mo drank a cup of tea and moistened his throat and continued,

"The second is publicity, for Yuelaiju, the river fish banquet is not only a dish, but also a means, Yuelaiju uses the river fish banquet to show their strength, and the high price shows that it is not something that ordinary people can afford, so that others feel that they can go to Yuelaiju are some rich and powerful people with some skills, and the diners of the entire restaurant can pay less than 20% when ordering the river fish banquet, which can make the river fish banquet earn enough face. This alone can attract a group of wealthy gentry and large families. But except for the river fish feast, the prices of the rest of the dishes are very fair, which makes it acceptable to ordinary people, so that these people can get both face and lining. In the end, everyone who has money or nothing is willing to go. ”

Seeing that everyone was still listening carefully, Lin Mo pointed to the food box and said, "As far as I know, there should be few restaurants that will specially prepare food boxes, and they will send people to help diners send them home." ”

Liu Xin'er asked, "Brother Mo, how do you know that it is specially prepared?" Maybe it happened that the restaurant had a food box, and we just needed to take the dishes away, and the shopkeeper saw the second lady and made a favor for us to take away. ”

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Xin'er, you are so smart, but if you look at the regulations of the food boxes, you will find that the four food boxes are exactly the same, both in appearance and structure. If you look more carefully and even the paint that is worn off your hands is not the same, it also means that it is used regularly. Basically, it can be concluded that it was bought by the same craftsman, and the time is basically the same. This also shows that this is specially prepared by the restaurant itself for serving guests to food. This will be a matter of service attitude, and this kind of service will make you feel that the money is not spent unjustly, and you will be willing to go to their house for dinner again. ”

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said: "The advantages of Yuelaiju are too obvious, not to mention that there are several other restaurants in Qiannan that are also strong, but"

Lin Mo said in a changed tone

"It's okay to get a foothold here."

Seeing that Lin Mo was full of confidence, Ma Ruoyan said

"It seems that my cousin is already confident, so I will wish my cousin a lot of money in advance."

Lin Mo nodded, thanked Ma Ruoya, and then Ma Ruoyan and Liu Xin'er went back to Mafu, and Lin Mo continued to get busy.

On the way back, Ma Ruoyan kept thinking about what Lin Mo said

"I can't imagine that you can see so many things just by a river fish feast, your brother Mo is really not an ordinary person, and he will be able to get ahead in the future. You have to take a good look at him, don't let him be seduced by other little ladies. ”

"Miss, if you make fun of Brother Mo again, I'll ignore you."

Liu Xin'er said coquettishly.

"Okay, don't mention your brother Mo, go back quickly, big brother is back today, I have to go back to pick him up."

The two of them quickened their pace as they spoke.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, how to build the reputation of the restaurant is the key, although Lin Mo just seemed full of confidence, because he had a general idea, but how to achieve it depends on the creation.

The most important thing now is to find a suitable cook, a chef who can take the lead.

Although Zhao En can cook and some Yangzhou cuisine, he still has to take care of the store, and now it is not a small fight like in the town, so the division of labor must be clear, the chef is the cook, and the shopkeeper is the shopkeeper.

But where to find such a suitable candidate now? You can't go to other restaurants to dig the foot of the wall openly, even if you really dig people, Lin Mo may offend the entire restaurant restaurant in Chennan, after all, digging people in the corner is the most taboo among peers, and at that time, it may be the revenge and attack of the entire restaurant in Chennan.

Lin Mo, a newcomer with no foundation, is estimated to have no place in Chenan soon.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if other restaurants don't pursue it, a person who can be easily poached will be poached by others in the future, Lin Mo really doesn't dare to use such a person.

Lin Mo thought for a while, but he still wanted to call Zhao En and them over to help together, and the cook was busy at the same time.

If it really doesn't work, let Zhao Ending for a period of time first, and then replace Zhao En back when there is a suitable candidate, of course, it would be better if he could find it in advance.

Lin Mo first wrote some notices to recruit cooks and arranged for Zhou Fu and Wu Shun to post them in front of the door, and then asked the two of them to buy some fresh ingredients tomorrow morning, in case someone came to apply, Lin Mo could directly ask someone to cook on the spot and see the craftsmanship, so simple and direct.

When the busyness was over, it was almost dark again, Wu Shun and Zhou Fu went home separately, and Lin Mo also returned to his residence.

The next morning, Lin Mo came to the restaurant, and Wu Shun and the others had already bought the ingredients and were waiting for the applicants.

Lin Mo sat in the restaurant and waited until noon and didn't see anyone coming, Lin Mo was helpless, and secretly said that he still underestimated the difficulty of recruiting a cook.

At this time, Liu Xin'er suddenly walked in, and when she saw Lin Mo frowning, she hurriedly asked:

"Why is Brother Mo sad?"

Lin Mo immediately smiled when he saw Liu Xin'er

"Why did Xin'er come here again today?"

"The eldest young master came back from Yunzhou, and the house wanted to buy some things for the young master, and the master said that I was careful and specially asked me to come out to procure, so I stopped by to see you, Brother Mo."

"Young Master Ma is back?"

"Well, the young master arrived in the mansion yesterday evening. Brother Mo, why are you worried?"

"Don't laugh at it, I plan to open a restaurant, but I haven't even found a chef yet. Isn't it a big joke to open a restaurant without a cook. ”

When Liu Xin'er heard this, she first covered her mouth and snickered, and then suddenly thought of something,

hurriedly said: "Brother Mo, are you short of cooks?" I've got the right person. ”

"Who is it?"

"Chef Zhu in the house."

"Why is the cook in the house willing to come to me?"

"Don't worry, listen to me first."

It turned out that Chef Zhu's real name was Zhu Wen, who was originally a cook in a large restaurant in Yunzhou, and was later invited to the house by Ma Yuan to become a home chef.

Originally, there was nothing to do in the house, but last night Young Master Ma came back, and Ma Yuanwai asked Zhu Wen to cook a sumptuous dinner and the family got together together, Zhu Wen's cooking skills naturally had nothing to say, and the family ate happily.

But after eating, the second lady suddenly felt unwell, and the doctor came to take a look and found that the second lady had eaten the wrong thing, and finally found that the condiments in the evening dish were misplaced, and safflower was placed.

Although safflower is a normal condiment, it also has an effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and if a pregnant woman takes it, it is easy to produce contractions and even miscarriage.

Ma Yuanwai knew that he was very angry, and directly asked Zhu Wen to pack up his things and leave the Ma Mansion. Now Zhu Wen is staying in an inn in the city, preparing to return to Yunzhou tomorrow.

Lin Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, but then realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must have been able to cook well if he was invited to the mansion by the Ma Mansion.

Lin Mo hurriedly asked Liu Xin'er to hug Liu Xin'er and said excitedly:

"Xin'er, you are really my lucky star."

Lin Xin'er's face was flushed and said shyly

"Brother Mo, let me go."

Only then did Lin Mo realize that his behavior was inappropriate. Quickly let go of Liu Xin'er's mouth and kept talking

"The misunderstanding was purely accidental."

Then subconsciously touched his nose, in Liu Xin'er's opinion, Lin Mo was smelling the breath that touched Liu Xin'er just now.

Liu Xin'er's head lowered, and Lin Mo realized how embarrassed he was now, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Lin Mo hurriedly diverted the topic to ease the atmosphere, and asked Liu Xin'er to take herself to Zhu Wen, and it was bound to let Zhu Wen come to his restaurant.

The two came to the inn and knocked on Zhu Wen's door, and a weak voice came

"Who?"

Liu Xin'er replied:

"It's me, Xin'er, Brother Zhu, as soon as you open the door, get up and find you something."

"Let's go"

The door slowly opened, and a stout but unhealthy man in his thirties opened the door.

Looking at Liu Xin'er and Lin Mo, there was some flickering and confusion in their eyes.

"Xin'er, do you have anything to do with me?"

"In Xia Linmo, I heard that you plan to return to Yunzhou, this time I made a special trip to invite you to my restaurant as a cook, and I ask you to agree."

Lin Mo said straight to the point.

Zhu Wen didn't say anything when he heard it, but just invited the two of them to the house, and after the three of them sat down, Zhu Wen slowly spoke and said:

"I guess you know why I left Chennan. Since you want to ask me to be a cook, I don't want to talk so much nonsense, I just ask you, you dare to hire me?"

Zhu Wen's meaning is clear, one is that I, as a cook, put the wrong condiments in cooking and almost hurt the second lady, do you dare to use the chef who made such a mistake?

The second is that I offended the Ma family, and you may implicate you if you hire me, and if the Ma family wants to retaliate one day, you will also be unlucky.

Lin Mo said indifferently: "

Since I'm here, I don't plan to go back alone. ”

Liu Xin'er listened to it and muttered quietly, "Am I not human?"

Lin Mo and Zhu Wen laughed. A big problem in opening a restaurant, the chef decided so.

Lin Mo helped Zhu Wen pack up his things and rushed back to the restaurant together, although Liu Xin'er was a little reluctant, she had to go back to pay the errand, so she had to separate from the two.

After arriving at the restaurant, Lin Mo temporarily arranged Zhu Wen in a room, and Zhu Wen went directly to the kitchen, and made a few good dishes for Lin Mo on the spot, and Lin Mo beckoned Wu Shun and Zhou Fu to taste it together.

I have to say that Zhu Wen's cooking skills are really good, at least not worse than the chefs of Yuelaiju, and Lin Mo is happy in his heart, this is a treasure.

After a few people finished the meal, Lin Mo asked Wu Shun to go to General Town early tomorrow morning to pick up Zhao En's family of three, and then discuss the official opening.
