Chapter 22 Managing the Restaurant 9
While drinking tea in the box, I was thinking about how to arrange the new chef tomorrow, thinking that he would learn the dishes I made before, the restaurant decoration will take two days, and after the restaurant is renovated, you can learn the new dishes at the same time.
The kitchen utensils and uniforms of the staff will be ready tomorrow, but I think it will be more appealing to wait until the reopening to make a new one. In the past few days, Uncle Zhong asked him to find someone to make more charcoal, and he had a hunch that there would be a lot of guests, and if he was prepared, he was not afraid that the supply would exceed demand.
Thinking about it like this, I thought about it and went to the emperor. At first, I guessed that knowing his identity should be either rich or expensive, but what I didn't expect was that his status would be so high. looks so handsome, and there will be many actors who are handsome in modern times, but they are still not as good as him, giving people a feeling of warmth like jade, and he feels very thoughtful in all aspects of speech and behavior, and there seems to be a trace of ripples in his heart.
A knock outside the door interrupted my thoughts, and I answered the word "Enter". Li Bing pushed open the door and walked in, walked up to me and said, "Miss, that cold boy has already left, and he packed some dishes in a food box, and he gave two ingots of gold to settle the bill, saying that the money for yesterday's dishes will also be settled, and we are sending the dishes over, and there are many of them as travel expenses." ”
I nodded my head to indicate that I understood, and then continued to drink tea and think about things. Put aside the thoughts just now and think about the restaurant again. There are still more than 20 days before the chefs will participate in the Chef God Competition, with the current ability of the two chefs, it is not a big problem to enter the top ten, but they should be taught a dish that can win in the semi-finals or finals.
This dish is to chop the fat and lean pork, water chestnuts and shiitake mushrooms, add minced green onion and ginger, egg liquid, appropriate amount of salt and soy sauce, stir evenly to make balls, put it in an oil pan and fry it until golden brown, drain the oil and then pour it into the soup made of water, soy sauce, ginger and green onions, simmer until the soup is less, then take it out and put it on a plate and sprinkle it with chopped green onions.
The crispy roast duck dish can also be eye-catching, and the processed duck is washed and dried to control the moisture. Mix the seasonings with green onions, garlic, ginger, star anise, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and sugar for half an hour, and then roast them dry on the firewood, and then apply the seasoning made of white vinegar and honey many times to color, and take out the roast duck slices and put them on a plate in about half an hour.
The above two dishes taught the two chefs and let them use them to participate in the competition, and they will not be able to cook until the semi-finals or above. Since the judges are not likely to accept the taste of the new dish competition, it is better to use the traditional way of cooking at first.
After thinking of a solution to the problem, it was almost dinner time. Seeing that the entire staff in the store was in order, I went home to eat with my family with peace of mind. I didn't buy snacks on the way home today, my family didn't eat much, and getting home early was more important than anything else.
Today I met my father and brothers in front of my house, and it seems that everyone is very smart. My father came back by carriage, my brothers still rode horses, and I was the only one who walked, which is like the distance to work in modern times that determines the means of transportation.
"Daddy, Brother Feng, Brother Han, you have worked hard, welcome home! Today we came back together just in time. ”
After I finished speaking, my brothers also said in unison: "It's hard work, welcome home!" Time is just right to prove that we have a good heart. ”
Daddy kept smiling and nodding his head. In this way, we walked into the house together, and walked to the hall, and along the way, the housekeeper and some maids and servants shouted: "Welcome to the master, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the eldest lady to return home." ”
Really! My mother is already waiting for us. When I heard the sound outside, I told the maids to pour us all tea and let the kitchen serve the food, because it didn't take long for us to sit down, and the dishes were served one after another.
"Husband, the wind, the cold, the rain, you have worked hard, welcome home. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea, I've got the kitchen served. ”
"Madam, sit down, you don't have to stand up, you are also working hard, working at home to do things at home."
After listening to Daddy's words, several of us quickly nodded in agreement. Then the kitchen began to serve the dishes, eight dishes and one soup, there were meat and vegetarian dishes, I could probably tell what ingredients were used, but I couldn't name them. Adhering to the health regimen of food without saying a word, we are silent when we eat, but we will occasionally pick up vegetables with each other.
After the meal, thinking of today's incident, I told my family: "Daddy, the man who came to our restaurant the day before yesterday is here again today." And he also asked for my opinion, he wanted a chef to come to our restaurant to learn, just ask the chef to cook him a new dish every day, and let us arrange the rest of the time. Yueyi still didn't let us come out, the most important thing is that his name is Huangfu Jin, and my mother told me that the emperor of our country is called by this name. ”
"Yu'er, is this serious? Did the emperor come to our restaurant for dinner? And also in person twice? ”
Daddy's three questions showed how surprised he was, and the brothers gasped to express their surprise. And my answer was also a very affirmative nod, after all, he personally admitted that according to this era, no one dares to pretend to be the emperor!
Seeing me nodding, my mother continued to ask, "Yu'er, what did the emperor do when he came to our restaurant?" Tell us about it. ”
When he arrived at the restaurant, he brought an entourage with him, who should be a father-in-law. On the first day, the father-in-law was talking a lot, and the dishes he ordered were all made by the previous chef, and we explained the situation to him, and said that we could make a few new dishes that they were satisfied with, and the father-in-law agreed after asking for his opinion. ”
"I made the new dishes that day, and after he tasted them, he asked the chef to speak to him, and when I passed, he said that he wanted to hire me to be a chef in his house, and the monthly salary was much higher than that of other chefs. I refused, he should have expected this answer, and then asked people to leave a jade pendant, so that our restaurant would go to Lengfu in the south of the city to inform them of the new dishes. ”
"The next day, we had new dishes and arranged for Xiao Er to deliver them to the door, after all, it was the first time to give it to this guest, so I confiscated the money to settle the bill, and he came to our store again today. He ordered all the new dishes in our store, and asked me about the new chef, and after identifying himself, he always spoke very gently and smiled, and let me treat him as an ordinary guest. ”
When I told them the specifics, they were all a little stunned. Because in their eyes, the emperor is more decisive, and there is generally no need to ask the other party if he is willing to do this, just know that it will be carried out like this.
Daddy came back to his senses and said, "Yu'er, the emperor is a Ming monarch. According to what you said, there should be no other ideas about our family, you just do what he said for the time being, and if there are other abnormalities in the future, you can just come and tell me, and I will find a way to solve it. ”
"That's right! Yu'er, you don't have to be nervous, our country is so prosperous, with a good life expectancy and a peaceful life and contentment. Although the emperor is the new emperor in office, his mother thinks that he should also be a Ming monarch, because the first emperor is a Ming monarch, and the story of his deep love with the former queen has always been a household name in our country. ”
After listening to my father and mother's words, I felt much more relieved about this matter. I guess the emperor is not only a Ming Jun, but also a foodie! After all, I've been to our restaurant twice, and I packed and took away the unfinished food. Even the emperor can be the guest of honor in our restaurant, and there will be more and more other guests.
