Chapter 254: Membership Card
Gu Youan walked out of the counter and glanced at the diners who were eating with their mouths full of oil, and at this time they sent a refreshing and sweet drink, just like sending charcoal in the snow, people not only think that the service of food is in place, but also let everyone taste fresh.
The shopkeeper brought plates to the diners and handed them out on the table, and the diners looked at the colorful vegetable juices and immediately felt happy.
He coughed a few times: "Everyone, let's give you a free sweet and sour juice drink at the Heavenly Restaurant, please feel free to taste it." ”
For a while, the diners all picked up their glasses and tasted it to their heart's content.
Regardless of whether you are used to drinking this fruit juice drink or not, it is enough to be happy to give it away for free just by eating for the day, not to mention that people eat dry mouths and need to relieve greasyness.
Diners took a sip from their glasses, and the greasy feeling of freshly eaten meat in their mouths was immediately diluted by the fresh and sweet feeling. So people no longer taste slowly, but take the cup and drink it all.
How can a small cup be enough? So, after the diners finished their drinks, they slapped the table and summoned the shopkeeper to come over and order a drink.
Xiao Er didn't expect fruit juice drinks to sell so well, and he was busy for a while, Gu Youan and Duran saw this and knew that the drinks were very easy to sell, so they asked Gu Youan to introduce the rules for selling drinks.
Their restaurant opened, and the dishes they launched were very popular with everyone, and the diners were still hungry, so it can be said that food was off to a good start.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and suddenly someone shouted: "Shopkeeper, everyone is rumored that Mrs. is a wonderful cook, I wonder if you can let us all feast our eyes and let Mrs. improvise a meal for us?" ”
The question he raised immediately made everyone coax: "Yes, it is rumored that Mrs. Gu is a superb cook, and we also want to see Mrs. Gu's knife work, is it really ingenious?" ”
"That's right, Mrs. Gu cooks, we all want to see it, can we let Mrs. Ling show her hand in the lobby, so that we can open our eyes."
For a while, the guests in the lobby had different opinions, which was nothing more than asking Duran to play with a few knives for them to see.
Gu Youan looked embarrassed, and looked at Du Lan with an inquiring gaze.
Duran slapped his palms a few times proudly, "Okay, you are so enthusiastic, if I don't show a few hands, wouldn't I have swept everyone's Yaxing." Little second brother, bring a kitchen knife, a potato. ”
"Howler!"
In a blink of an eye, the little second brother brought the things, Du Lan smiled indifferently, who was the most coaxing just now, she could see it clearly, and at this moment she walked in front of the person who coaxed, swept the plate on his table, and made a space.
The man watched Duran's neat movements in bewilderment, and suddenly saw Duran swing the potatoes on the table, raising his hand and waving the kitchen knife.
I saw her hand pick up and fall, as thin as a hair, and the crystal clear potato shreds crackled down with the sound of the knife colliding with the table. The man was dumbfounded.
Duran looked at his stunned expression and smiled: "I don't know what else you want to see?" ”
The man shook his head hurriedly.
The cooks in the room ran out to see, and when they saw Duran's skillful knife work, they immediately clapped their hands and applauded.
The little chef admired the five-body throwing himself to the ground, and couldn't help but ask Du Lan loudly: "Mrs. Gu, how did you practice this knife work?" I want to learn too. ”
Duran glanced at him appreciatively, and explained to him without hesitation: "The key to using a knife is to hold the knife steadily, and to use force to be strong and soft; Then there is hard work, the first point, the fast cut should be used with the wrist, the knife should be fast, the whole hand should hold the handle, do not take the back of the knife; When cutting, use the front third of the knife. The best practice is with potatoes. The potatoes should be large, and if they will roll, cut them around the edge so that they fit snugly against the cutting board, so that it will be much easier to cut. When you first practice, you should be slow, don't rush, and stability is the key. Wait until you are proficient in speeding up. The shredding should be consistent in length and thickness. It is important to practice every day, for half an hour a day. The second is that the meat should be chopped with a knife in the last third of the knife to be precise, accurate and ruthless. Of course, such a practice knife will be very blunt, and the knife will generally be sharpened once every three or four days. After the shredded potatoes are practiced, then practice small things, such as garlic, carrots, and so on. Generally, it will be effective after one month of practice. ”
After hearing this, the cooks in the room widened their eyes in shock, even Master He couldn't help but be dumbfounded, when he learned knife work, he studied for three months, and the master praised him for being born to be a chef, but he didn't expect Duran to be so powerful.
The diners heard it, and it turned out that they were only looking at Mrs. Gu's most basic knife work, and then someone coaxed: "Mrs. Gu has a difficult one, let us be kind and convincing." ”
Duran readily agreed: "Okay, today is the day when my food is opened, then I will show my hands." ”
After speaking, Duran asked the shopkeeper to bring a radish and carve a palace, and carved red radishes, carrots, green radishes, etc. into flowers blooming in front of the palace. Such a beautiful and vivid palace appeared in front of everyone, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Gu Youan took the lead in giving applause, upstairs Xu Hening, Chen Jingting was once again shocked by Du Lan, they knew that Du Lan was very good and had good cooking skills, but they didn't expect the knife skills to be so exquisite.
If she hadn't studied and practiced hard, she would have been a god.
Duran didn't stop, ordered Xiao Er to take out another piece of pork, a kitchen knife, Duran threw the pork into the air, only to see a burst of sword light and sword shadows passing by, and the pork fell on the plate one after another.
Xiao Er pinched a piece in shock and showed it to everyone, only to see that the meat slice was as thin as a cicada's wings, revealing light.
In the lobby, there was a sigh immediately, this time the diners were convinced, and no one questioned Duran's knife work, but Duran was in high spirits, and this time she wanted to show off her skills.
"Xiao Er, that piece of dough, I'm happy today, I'll add another meal to everyone, knife-cut noodles."
Xiao Er nodded hurriedly, took the dough, ran out and handed it to Duran, Duran's eyes flashed with confidence, starting from the corner of the lobby, cutting noodles while walking, only to see the noodles in the air like a silver dragon swimming, when she walked back to the center of the lobby, every diner fell a few noodles with uniform thickness and length in the bowl.
Everyone was shocked by the scene of snowflakes just now, and when they came back to their senses, they cheered and applauded.
"Good! Good! ”
"Good!"
"The proprietress who eats for the sky really lives up to her reputation!"
"Admit it! So please don't worry, let's line up one by one to cook noodles in the room according to the number plate of the table, and the braised soup will be served by the shopkeeper Gu himself. ”
"Mrs. Gu is so generous, we all wish the food to be famous and shake the rivers and lakes!" The diners praised Duran one by one, the so-called eating people with soft mouths and short hands, which is exactly the truth.
Anyway, everyone also ate seven, seven, eight, eight, and eight, and everyone waited patiently for a while.
Duran went to the back kitchen, and by the way, she also called Gu Youan, so that she could discuss with Gu Youan how to stabilize the source of guests next. Duran said his intentions as he mixed the soup.
It is to determine the membership level of the customer based on the amount of accumulated consumption on the day of food, and the higher the level, the greater the discount enjoyed.
Shi Weitian was originally given to Du Lan, Gu Youan had no objections, besides, from Du Lan's performance just now, it can be seen that she is already confident about running Shi Weitian, and she doesn't need to ask about it herself.
"Okay, whatever the lady says, just do as the lady does." Gu Youan looked at his lady with doting eyes, saw the faintly shiny fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and knew that she was the busiest today, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her intimately.
In front of so many cooks in the kitchen, Duran did not shy away from it, let him serve him, and after wiping his sweat, Duran walked to the stove, bent down to pick up a piece of wood for burning wood, and handed it to Gu Youan, "Xianggong, you carve a wooden plaque for me, and write such words on it." ”
As he spoke, Du Lan took out a note, which was the rules of use on the membership card of the restaurant in his previous life, and the final right to use it belonged to Shi Weitian and so on.
Gu Youan's eyes flashed: "The lady's knife work is better than me, and she still needs me to serve, but is there any compensation?" ”
Duran glanced at him: "At this time, how can I have time to smile and smile, hurry up and peel the wooden card." ”
Before walking back to the stove, she began to prepare the braised soup, she slandered in her heart, my knife work is not bad, but I have no internal strength, but such a small wooden sign with words, I don't know how many days and nights it will be carved. And he is different, according to her current understanding of Gu Youan, carving such a wooden plaque is only a meal, or even shorter.
Duran concentrated on mixing the soup, and as soon as the soup was brought down the stove, Gu Youan handed a beautifully carved wooden plaque to Duran: "Lady, do you think this is the case?" ”
Duran opened his mouth wide in surprise, oh my God, it was less than a stick of incense, the wooden sign was carved, and it was polished so smooth, which diner could see that it was still a piece of burning wood a moment ago.
"Lady, are you satisfied?" Gu Youan looked at it with a smile, as if he could stuff an egg's mouth.
"Mmmmmm, satisfied, just such a wooden card is carved so well, then a more advanced member, don't I want to use a gold medal and jade card?" When he thought about such real money, Duran felt distressed.
"Isn't that just a sign of the nobility of our diners?" Gu Youan explained her with a light smile.
Duran ignored him, concentrated on holding the wooden card in his hand, and looked at it repeatedly, the three big characters of food for heaven were written on the front, and the rules for use were indicated in a few square lines of small block letters on the back.
"Alright, let's get out."
She is going to announce the membership system to everyone now, as long as the diners agree with her cooking skills, they will definitely be willing to accept it, and a considerable number of those who come to eat for the day are old customers of Wuwei Zhai, these people are extraordinary and famous, money is nothing in their hands, they can satisfy the tongue, and the enjoyment of the tip is worth the money.
The two came to the lobby, and the shopkeeper had already begun to distribute braised soup to the diners, and Gu Youan announced to the diners with a light smile.
"Below, I have a small gift to give."
The noodles dipped in the braised soup are delicious. It was unstoppable, but when Gu Youan said to give gifts again, the sound of eating noodles in the lobby disappeared immediately.
Everyone waited quietly for Shopkeeper Gu's speech.
