Chapter 117: Chef Li's big mouth
Qi Xuan said that there are actually a lot of idle manpower in the entire Hou Mansion now. It turned out that there were dozens of women rescued from Hai Dongqing's hands, and there was actually only one master in the huge Hou Mansion, Jiang Chuan.
Obviously, Jiang Chuan alone doesn't need so many people to serve him. These people are not only idle to eat for nothing, but women are also easy to breed right and wrong when they get together, especially all kinds of gossip, which is not conducive to the atmosphere of the Hou Mansion.
If these idle manpower are transferred to open a restaurant, not only can it provide more income channels for the Hou Mansion, but also make full use of these idle manpower, and the atmosphere of the Hou Mansion will be much better.
At that time, the monthly money of these women can be distributed from the profits of the restaurant, which will save an expense for the Hou family.
As soon as Jiang Chuan heard that this matter was indeed feasible, he didn't care much about the affairs in the house on weekdays, and Qi Xuan was in charge. She knows better than she does.
And Jiang Chuan thought a little more, there is another benefit after having this restaurant, that is, it is a place to collect information. These businessmen traveled from south to north, and their information was sensitive, and they could learn a lot of information from their mouths, which was very helpful for Jiang Chuan to judge the general trend of the world.
Jiang Chuan thought about these things clearly, and immediately asked Qi Xuan to select people and write a draft of the restaurant management charter. He informed Liu Ji to find a suitable location for the restaurant, and then asked the decoration team to start the decoration.
Although Jiang Chuan doesn't understand the operation of the restaurant, these things are much the same. He doesn't want to be different for the time being, and he can first make a decent one that can meet the needs of businessmen for dinner.
According to Jiang Chuan's vision, this restaurant is divided into two floors, the first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the private room, and different floors are selected according to different consumption.
Private rooms are exempt from the private room fee if they reach the minimum spend. Not only dine-in but also take-out services are available, but a take-out fee is charged.
Of course, the most important thing in a restaurant is the taste of the food. It's up to the chef to decide whether the taste is good or bad.
This chef made Egawa a little embarrassed. Although there is also a kitchen in the Hou Mansion, it is okay for a few cooks to cook home-cooked food, but the food in the restaurant cannot be taken away.
Jiang Chuan thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of a good idea.
He suddenly remembered that there was originally a lord's kitchen in the fortress game. This lord's kitchen was responsible for the lord's daily diet, as well as providing meals for the lord's various banquets.
Since Jiang Chuan crossed, he has only been busy with riots, collecting supplies, planting crops, and building weapons, and he has never thought about building the lord's kitchen, because it is not necessary.
He doesn't live in the territory of the system, and he doesn't build a rest room for himself according to the game, which is equivalent to a dormitory, and then the system sends a daughter-in-law to himself, so it's a waste to build this lord's kitchen.
But then it suddenly occurred to him that this could come in handy.
Judging by this half year, the style of the entire fortress base is Oriental. Therefore, Jiang Chuan also believes that the dishes made in this lord's kitchen should not be anything like potato stew and beef.
As soon as he said it, Jiang Chuan quickly built the lord's kitchen in the fortress base, and in order to consider the richness of the dishes, Jiang Chuan also built a pig pen in the territory to raise pigs. At the same time, several vegetable fields were opened. In the end, two large fish ponds were dug for the cultivation of fish and shrimp.
With the raw materials for the meal, Jiang Chuan opened up hundreds of acres of vineyards, grape flower farms, and established wineries in the territory, so that the restaurant also had wine.
Although wine has already spread to Daming at this time, there are still very few people who drink wine in general, after all, the mainstream drinking in Daming is still the liquor represented by Dong Xiangchun.
Jiang Chuan can't make liquor now, because he doesn't know any winemaking methods, so he can only temporarily replace it with wine.
In this way, there are chefs, dishes, wine, and people, and the whole restaurant can be said to be ready.
Here, Qi Xuan has selected all the personnel, and the management regulations of the restaurant have also been drafted. After Jiang Chuan read it, he revised several places, and made modifications according to some indirect experiences he knew in his previous life.
To be a restaurant, service is also very important. Jiang Chuan asked Qi Xuan to give these women some etiquette training. They already have a foundation, and now they only need a little training to focus on restaurants.
Unexpectedly, this task stumped Qi Xuan. She's just an official lady, how can she understand this. After all, she was born in a wealthy family, and she was more or less knowledgeable, so she was reluctant to do it.
But let her train the waiter, that's really a duck on the shelf.
And in ancient times, business was regarded as a cheap industry by people all over the world, so she would never learn this.
Looking at Qi Xuan, who had a resentful face, Jiang Chuan realized that he was a little taken for granted. He was used to using Qi Xuan, so he thought about handing over everything to Qi Xuan, but forgot whether she could handle this problem.
Jiang Chuan thought of Dong Xiangchun's beautiful maid at this time, if there was such a person who could come to help, then he wouldn't have to worry about this problem.
And in the restaurant, there must be a smart and capable foreman who is good at dancing to handle the things at the front desk, which is really incompetent for ordinary people.
Although Qi Xuan is suitable for the person next to Jiang Chuan at present, she is her own secretary and housekeeper, and of course she can't be a waitress foreman.
Bai Jinxiu is even worse, she can do intelligence work, let her run a restaurant, it is estimated that the guests will not dare to come.
It seems that it is better to dig someone from Dongxiangchun, but I don't know if a woman from someone else is willing to come. Let's see this matter after Bai Jinxiu goes back.
The person in charge of this restaurant will really stump Jiang Chuan for a while.
Qi Xuan saw Jiang Chuan's frowning appearance, and suddenly said, "Master Hou, you forgot about someone." ”
Jiang Chuan was stunned and said, "Who are you talking about?" ”
Qi Xuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Master Hou, you have forgotten the person you brought back." Leaving others aside these days, that person is very resentful. ”
Jiang Chuan suddenly realized that she was talking about the foreign girl Mo Dai.
After coming back during this time, I didn't know how to settle her for a while, so I handed it over to Qi Xuan, and forgot about it after I finished speaking.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xuan actually recommended her today, which made Jiang Chuan a little strange.
"She is a bearded girl, from the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away, how can she understand the way of restaurant management?" Jiang Chuan said with a frown.
"Master Hou, you don't know. Although this Mo Dai is a bearded girl, she is very smart. During this time, I lived with me, and I spoke Chinese very neatly every day. And I also taught her a lot of Ming etiquette, and she also learned it very carefully. She admired you even more, and was very surprised to see the Arabic numerals that Hou Ye taught me, saying that Hou Ye even knew their knowledge on the other side of the ocean, and it was simply their prince given to her by God. ”
Qi Xuan smiled and said it one by one, and Jiang Chuan also felt funny when he heard it.
"You mean she knows Arabic numerals and arithmetic, too?" Jiang Chuan asked curiously.
Arabic numerals were originally transmitted from the West, and if Mo Dai also understood, it would prove her aristocratic status even more.
"Yes, although her algorithm is very fast, it is not as fast as the mantra you taught me, Master Hou. We both competed a few times and she lost to me. Qi Xuan was a little proud when she said this.
"Of course, the ninety-nine multiplication formula is a secret that Benhou does not pass on, and only people as smart and beautiful as you have the opportunity to learn it." Jiang Chuan took the opportunity to tease Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, her pretty face flushed, and said: "Although Mo Dai doesn't know how to operate, she should be able to learn to adapt quickly with her intelligence." Hou Ye might as well give her a chance, anyway, she has nothing to do now, and Hou Ye doesn't know how to place it, maybe she can make the best use of it. ”
Jiang Chuan thought for a while and said, "There is no one available at the moment, so it can only be so." Let her try it first, and you've helped a lot in the past few days since it opened. You take care of the accounts over there, and then hand them over to her when she's familiar with them. ”
Qi Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Hou." Mo Dai will be very happy. But Master Hou, the chef's business hasn't been settled yet? ”
Jiang Chuan smiled: "Don't worry, I have found the most suitable candidate." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Zhai, the housekeeper, come in quickly and said, "Tell Master Hou, there is a chef outside who calls himself Li Dazui who said that he came on your orders and is waiting outside." ”
Lee's big mouth? Jiang Chuan almost laughed when he heard it, and the name of this system is too second.
Holding back a smile and waving his hand, he said, "You let him in." ”
Yan Zhai bowed down and withdrew to call someone.
"Look, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive, my chef is here." Jiang Chuan smiled at Qi Xuan.
