Li Sihai accompanied Chef Zhao to the kitchen, it was already past eleven o'clock, and there were guests in the restaurant one after another, and the kitchen was also busy. Chef Zhao looked at the side dishes on the table, and took out the dishes that Li Sihai bought from the bag, sighed, and looked at it carefully.

"Xiao Li, you bought this tomato well, it's rare to see such a ripe good persimmon now."

"The boss said that he grew it at home, and he had not used pesticides and fertilizers, but I tasted it and the taste was very pure."

"This is very good, people think that the chef's cooking skills are the key to the deliciousness of the meal, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding, seven ingredients, three points of labor. If the ingredients are not good, no matter how good the cooking skills are, they will not be able to bring out the performance. Many famous dishes that have been passed down from generation to generation are now gone, not because there are no heirs, but because the ingredients are not good, and they can't make that kind of taste......"

Chef Zhao said as he walked out of the kitchen with Li Dahai and his son. Coming to an empty private room, Chef Zhao sat down and continued: "I took a general look, the biggest problem of your restaurant is that it doesn't have its own characteristics. If you look at your menu, there are all kinds of cuisines, but they are not authentic. Ordinary guests are okay as a need for dinner, but such guests will never become your regular customers. Because you have food here, he can eat it everywhere else. He is not here because the food is good, but because of convenience, if one day it is inconvenient, you will lose even this part of the guests. ”

Chef Zhao's words touched Li Sihai's hidden worries, and he asked anxiously: "Master Zhao, what do you think I should do here, you see that it is time for dinner now, and I have only sat at such a few tables." If this continues, my hotel will have to close! ”

"That's right, Brother Zhao, you're an expert, give the child an idea."

Chef Zhao looked at the two fathers and sons in front of him, and said slowly: "First, it's better to do it in the current style, your chef can't do it, I just looked at it for a while, and the Northeast food he made was just a god." Second, change to other cuisines, I cook Lu cuisine, and other chefs can't find it, but chefs who specialize in Lu cuisine can still recommend a few for you. If you can't do these two things, don't do any restaurants at all, just change to fast food, and the profits will be thinner, but it's still okay to maintain. ”

"This ......"

Li Sihai considered Chef Zhao's words, and thought about his plans in his heart.

"Boss, the people from the 'Huaixiangyuan' in the east came again, ordered a few dishes, only ate two bites, and sat there shouting that our dishes were not authentic, and they were worse than the big pot of rice, and they were clamoring for a refund!"

The waiter hurriedly ran into the private room and asked Li Sihai for help.

"Damn, these bastards have only been clean for two days, why are they here again?" Li Sihai said that he was about to get up.

"Xiaohai, what's going on?"

"Dad, you sit with Master Zhao first, and I'll go out and have a look!"

Li Sihai didn't explain and followed the waiter to the lobby. Two young boys, in their twenties, were sitting there with chopsticks and tapping on the plate, shouting, "What kind of dish is this, it's just pig food." What about your boss, call your boss to come, Lao Tzu wants to complain and return the money! ”

The surrounding guests stopped eating and paid attention to the development of the situation.

"Dude, I'm the boss here, let's talk about something!"

Li Sihai came to the table and said with a smile.

Mess A squinted his eyes and picked his teeth with a toothpick: "You are the boss, I said, how can your dishes be so unpalatable, I think it is just to throw the dishes directly into the pot and cook, and the taste is stronger than this!" ”

"That's it, what is this, the eggplant is not cooked, the skin is not tasteful, the fish-flavored shredded meat is full of potatoes, where is the shredded meat?"

The other mischief B picked up the dishes with chopsticks, and the vegetable soup splashed all over the table.

Li Sihai forcibly suppressed his anger, and a smile appeared on his face: "This is easy to say, since you don't like our food, I'll give you a refund, what's the matter?" ”

"Just return the money, Lao Tzu has been waiting here for an hour to wait for this thing?"

"Then you see ......"

"Compensate us for our losses!" The purpose of the two people is very clear, to find ballast!

"In your opinion, how are we going to make compensation?"

The voice of the old man of the Li family came from behind, and he just saw his son go out angrily, worried that something was wrong, so he called a waiter and asked what happened.

It turned out that there were two restaurants on this street, one was the Li family's Sihai Restaurant, and the other was the Huaixiang Garden to the east of them. In the past, the two restaurants were of similar level and could live in peace. But since last year, Huaixiangyuan has poached a good chef from the big hotel, this chef also cooks Lu cuisine, and several specialty dishes are very popular and have become Huaixiangyuan's signature dishes. Since then, their business has been booming, and after a long time, there is not enough space, and the owner is considering expanding the scale. But after looking at a few positions, they were not very ideal, so the idea was to hit Li Sihai. Because the two are very close, there is a shop in between, if you put the Four Seas Restaurant over, the tables, chairs and tableware are all complete, as long as the simple decoration can be used. When the time comes, you can walk a few steps to attract them.

Therefore, just after the Spring Festival, the boss of Huaixiangyuan talked to Li Sihai. But although the business of the restaurant is not very good, and the family's life depends on it, how can it be transferred. At first, they politely discussed the conditions, but later saw that Li Sihai's attitude was tough, so he began to find people to make trouble every once in a while.

Today is not the first time, and if the hotel does not transfer it to him, it is estimated that it will not be the last.

"Hey, the little boss can't do it, change the old one!"

When Troublemaker saw the two old men coming, he said in a weird way. They are all gangsters in the neighborhood, not from Huaixiangyuan. If it is the new chef of Huaixiangyuan, you will recognize this fat old man with a red face as a famous master of Lu cuisine in their spring city.

"How to compensate? Lao Tzu is here to eat, we are not here to make trouble," Troublemaker Yi smiled evilly: "In this way, you make something again, as long as we are satisfied with eating, today's matter will be over." ”

"Oh, what does this little brother want to eat?" Chef Zhao didn't want to meddle in such a thing, but thinking that he was invited by someone to help, he couldn't stay aside and drink tea when he saw that there was a mess in the store.

"Look at your place, you can't make anything high-end, so let's just make something to eat, we only have one request, we haven't eaten it. As long as we are satisfied, we will also use your money before, and we will pay according to the price of what we eat! ”

The people around to watch the excitement felt nothing at first glance, but after thinking about it, these two people are good enough, they are very generous in and out of words, but the requirements are tricky. Now the dishes in the restaurants are much the same, unless it is the kind of big hotel with characteristics, but everyone who comes here knows that the Four Seas Hotel is just an ordinary small restaurant, and if you can make something unique, the business will not be so bleak.

"Okay, it seems that the two little brothers are really here to eat, wait a while, we will re-serve the food for you, and keep it that you haven't eaten!"

Chef Zhao confidently agreed, he was really not good at anything else, but when it came to cooking, he didn't dare to say anything else, but in Quancheng, an acre and three points of land, there was really no opponent for him.

Hearing this, the people in the hotel were curious, looking at the meaning of the old man, there was really a unique job?!

In the corner of the lobby, there were an old and a young man, they ordered a cold dish and a hot dish, and they were chatting, and when they heard Chef Zhao's words, they looked at it. As soon as they saw that it was Chef Zhao, the eyes of the elderly people flashed with brilliance. I didn't expect to see him in this small restaurant, hehe, it seems that there is a good show today.

Li Sihai was also very curious, although he had heard of Chef Zhao, but the dishes he cooked could not be said to be uneaten. Although he was puzzled, he still followed him to the kitchen, leaving the waiter to comfort the surrounding guests.

Chef Zhao came to the kitchen, looked at a piece of kneaded noodles on the table, washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and ordered: "You go and scramble six eggs, only put salt, and the eggs are scrambled until they are medium-rare." You wash the tomatoes and cut them into small cubes. ”

The chef and apprentice looked at the boss, and when they saw the boss signaling to do so, they began to listen to Chef Zhao's instructions.

Chef Zhao pressed the dough, shook his head, and began to knead it.

"Master Zhao, shall we make steamed buns?" Li Sihai's restaurant also sells steamed buns, and the noodles are all awake today, but they haven't taken care of steaming yet.

"Hmm." Chef Zhao didn't say anything, this noodle was not kneaded well, and now it can only be used. He kneaded it repeatedly, scrambled eggs on the stove, and when it was done, his noodles were also kneaded.

Knead the dough into a round strip, then hold it with one hand and pull it with the other hand. In a moment, there were two rows of agents of the same size neatly placed on the desk, and the agents were very small, only a little larger than the usual dumpling agents.

The tomatoes and eggs over there were all ready and put on plates, and everyone in the kitchen watched the old man busy. Chef Zhao neatly stacked the pulled agent on the board, sprinkled it with flour, and then began to adjust the filling. Watch him put the scrambled eggs in a stainless steel basin, sprinkle with salt, monosodium glutamate and some seasonings, stir for about a minute or two, then put in the diced chopped tomatoes, mix them and set them aside. He turned around and began to roll the skins, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rolled out all the skins, each skin was thin and almost the same size.

After the chef of the restaurant finished scrambling the eggs, he watched Chef Zhao busy with his work with a cold eye. At first, he heard that the boss had invited a chef, and he thought it was so powerful, but he didn't expect to make tomato buns. It's not that he doesn't believe in the old man's craftsmanship, everyone knows it, this tomato is different from other dishes, it has more juice, and when you put salt, the juice will come out, and the bun skin will break before it is basketed. Even if it is barely broken, the tomatoes still have to be steamed to water, and he rolls the skin so thinly that the buns are about to break, and they can't get out of the pot at all.

After a while, the baby's fist-sized bun was wrapped and placed on the prepared cage drawer, and the water in the steamer was boiled, so he put the cage drawer in the pot and covered the pot.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, steam began to emerge from the cracks in the lid, wafting a faint scent of tomatoes.

"Boss, it's okay, the outside is starting to knock on the plate." The waiter whispered in the boss's ear about the situation outside.

"It's almost ready, you go and explain it to the people outside, and the meal will be served in a while."

The waiter promised to go out, Li Sihai was also a little worried, he had never eaten this tomato bun, but looking at this thin skin, can he hold the filling?

Chef Zhao looked at the time, lifted the lid of the pot, the heat dissipated, and a basket of crystal steamed buns with white and red was presented in front of everyone. The wrap is almost transparent, and you can clearly see the brightly colored tomatoes with the golden eggs.

He took down the cage drawer, patted some cold water on his hand, took out the buns and put them on the plate, put eight of them and handed them to Li Sihai, "Take it, see if he has eaten it." The tone is very affirmative, although the ingredients of this crystal steamed bun are ordinary, but they may not be able to be made together.

"Wow!"

Li Sihai took the plate, and when Master Zhao took out the bun completely, he knew that it was done, this bun was so good-looking, not to mention exquisite, and it was fragrant.

I haven't eaten this steamed tomato bun, but I heard a friend introduce it, and it is the sign of a restaurant. Just imagine writing it, let's just look at the plot.
