Chapter 241: Questioning
After making two meat dishes, An Juan looked at the two of them and felt that although they were a lot of portions, it was still a little insufficient for two people to eat.
What's more, Luo Yelin is still a big man, how can he eat so much.
…… Add one more dish.
Since I've already made a meat dish, let's add another meat dish.
Thinking of this, An Xuan quickly looked around at the surrounding ingredients, and finally fixed his eyes on the tofu.
Let's make braised tofu.
She reached out and cut the tofu into pieces, then marinated the meat foam with starch, and then cut the green onions, ginger and garlic into foam, picked them up with a kitchen knife, and put them on a plate for later use.
Using a hot pan to heat the oil, An Wan poured the green onion, ginger and garlic powder into the pot, and then added a few spoonfuls of the sauce, almost stir-frying to create a strong fragrance.
Next, she poured the minced meat into the pan and stir-fried it until it was separated, then added warm water.
She added pepper and peppercorn powder to taste, and added sugar and light soy sauce.
When the water is about to boil, An Wan pours the lumpy tofu into the pot, covers and boils over medium heat, thickens and collects the juice after about a quarter of an hour, and sprinkles the chopped green onions.
Almost all the meat and vegetarian dishes were ready, An Juan asked the chef to come over and make a small pot of steamed buns, and then brought them to the restaurant together.
These three dishes are all dishes that An Juan likes very much, and Luo Yelin also likes them very much.
The two of them quickly finished the meal together, and then after discussing it for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest, planning to rest and recuperate more, and tomorrow they would be able to carry out the opening activities of the Yuanju Pavilion with a hundred times more energy.
The opening date they set was at noon, which happened to be a time when the traffic was relatively high, which was suitable for opening.
An Juan got up early and went to the Yuanju Pavilion to check on the situation for the last time, and even put a lot of meat and vegetable materials in the back kitchen, so that they would not refuse guests because of lack of ingredients.
To be able to see the opening of the Yuanju Pavilion and participate in it, the chefs and servants were also a little excited, and they stood in front of the stove with great energy, discussing with each other the skills and order of cooking, and occasionally discussing how many people would be willing to come over to eat when the Yuanju Pavilion opened today.
Some of these chefs have been cooking in other places, and they were later poached by Luo Yelin with a high salary, and they don't know much about An Ju and Yuanjuge, so they are a little scoffed at restaurants that have no past history at all.
One of them spoke seemingly casually: "Miss Ann told us to prepare our hearts and say that there will be a lot of people coming...... But I don't see that there has been a large-scale advertisement before, and Miss An's name and surname have not spread in Kyoto, so the prince is a little well-known...... Miss Ann also reminded us, saying that let's be careful, don't get tired to ......"
The next words, because An Juan and Luo Yelin were his employers, did not say it, but from the expression on his face, he could clearly see his disdain for An Juan's words.
A chef next to him also sneered, but the object of the scorn was not An Juan, but the lonely chef: "You really don't know anything." ”
He sighed with emotion, then paused, and continued calmly in the other party's somewhat angry eyes: "Before the opening of the Yuanju Pavilion, Miss An was there," he pointed to the location of the door, "opened a window, stood there and sold meals for nearly half a month, attracting a large number of guests, these guests can become the guests who came to the Yuanju Pavilion on the first day of opening, and you still say that there is no traffic?" ”
There was a chef next to him who had helped An Juan cook before, and nodded: "That's right, and to be honest, the geographical location here is very good, as long as someone sees that there are so many people on the first day of the opening of Yuanju Pavilion, they will definitely follow in to have a look, this is also a potential customer." ”
Everyone, you and I said a word, and quickly made the chef who initially questioned An Juan speechless, and directly kept waving his hand, saying that he couldn't talk about them, and he admitted defeat.
But when he saw An Juan coming over to inquire about the situation, he looked at An Juan, who was not strong and looked very beautiful, but he still couldn't help but look down on him, and asked: "Miss An, you opened a hotel so rashly, have you studied the elements needed to open a hotel?" ”
"Huh?" An Juan didn't understand what the chef meant, so she didn't answer directly, but looked up at him with some confusion, "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing that An Juan didn't immediately refute violently, the chef's heart calmed down a lot, and he was sure that An Juan didn't reply because she didn't understand this aspect of things, so she could only make such an expression and wanted to use her appearance to win.
So he was a good teacher, and he directly let out a long sigh and said preachily: "Miss An, you can't do this, you have to learn some things, you must not open a store recklessly...... We know that you are good-looking, and you have the support of Prince Ye behind you, but if the hotel loses directly, it will not be good. ”
Hearing that he seemed to criticize himself, An Wan humbly stopped and quietly listened to his next words.
But the following words disappointed An Juan's expectations: "Miss An, I know you just want to open a store and have a fresh time, but you have no customer flow, no advertising, and even the recipes are ordinary dishes...... I glanced at the placement of the chairs, and it was a bit unreasonable...... Why do you split some tables in half and put them high in half against the wall? It's not comfortable to eat like this at all. ”
"Also, the window at the door is useless, even before the hotel opened, Miss An used it to attract guests, but now that the hotel has officially opened, it should be sealed."
"By the way, by the way, and those shelves that are placed at the door, how can anyone buy the things sold on them? I wouldn't buy it anyway. ”
At first, Anwan thought that the chef was going to speak any particularly insightful language, and she was ready to write them down one by one in the small book in her heart.
But after listening for a while, she realized that what the other party wanted to say was a unique design that she and the construction team had worked on.
She explained that there was a lot of traffic, there were advertisements, the signature dishes were specially made, the table split in half was for a single person to eat rice bowls and noodles, the window at the door was for finger cakes and egg cakes, and the shelves were for small snacks and snacks.
But as if he hadn't heard anything, the chef insisted that he would never use Anwan's designs, and neither would the people.
Even if several chefs clearly expressed their appreciation for An Juan's idea, the chef was forced to beat him into a pug that pleases An Juan.
When the chef arrogantly expressed his doubts about An Juan, the corners of An Juan's mouth kept smiling, and he looked at his words and deeds lightly, as if he was watching a clown jumping off the beam.
When the chef finally finished speaking, An Wan spoke slowly: "No matter what, I have money and hired you to come, you should do your thing obediently, instead of indiscriminately pointing me indiscriminately." ”
"I didn't ...... nonsense" Hearing An Juan's words, he subconsciously retorted, but was directly defeated by An Juan's sharp eyes.
"I didn't say you were talking nonsense, what you said is right, I think it's normal for you to have this kind of doubt." She paused, and when she saw that the chef was relieved, she continued, "But every boss has his own ideas, just like after you say these things, some bosses will think that you have a restaurant in your heart, so they take the initiative to promote you and communicate with you more." ”
"But I'm not, I'm not an atmospheric boss, I'm very small-bellied, just like the woman in your heart, so if you say this kind of thing now, I can't get used to you and want to fire you."
This chef had indeed met several benevolent bosses in a row, and not only did they not think that his arguments were detrimental to his image, but they even took the initiative to praise him and let everyone learn from him.
At first, after the chef rashly criticized the bosses' approach, he would be irrepressibly flustered in his heart, for fear that they would be angry and then reprimand himself.
But after being gently praised many times, his heart is high, and sometimes when he thinks of his current status, he feels that he has obtained it with his iron bones.
So when he met An Ju for the first time, he did not hesitate to find out some of the shortcomings of Yuanju Pavilion, and then said it to An Ju mercilessly.
But An Juan was not as eloquent as so many of his previous employers, Corporal Lixian, not only did she not tolerate sand in her eyes, but she also did not have the slightest desire to talk to him.
Just like now, with a sneer on her lips, she stared at the chef who was standing in place with a little panic in her eyes a little indifferently, and directly put forward her request: "I'm a person who doesn't care about the future of the hotel, even if the hotel has been losing money, I don't care, anyway, I have a backer, as long as the prince says a word, I can open a lifetime of Yuanju Pavilion." ”
"And," she snapped her fingers, leaning casually against the wall, in a handsome posture, "I don't think what you're pointing out is a problem...... In my opinion, those are my highlights, my carefully planned strategies, and I want to use them to attract customers. ”
Seeing that the chef opened his mouth and wanted to say something, An Juan waved his hand and interrupted him directly: "Okay, don't say it, I know you must refute me again." ”
"You go, I will pay you today's salary, and when others ask, you say that I am too hypocritical and can't get used to you speaking directly, so I used my power to drive you away." In the chef's unwilling gaze, An Juan turned his back to him and discussed with other chefs the precautions for cooking in the restaurant.
The chef was unwilling to give up his lucrative job, so he simply stood still, pretending not to hear anything, and continued to carry on with his work in silence.
But Anwan clapped his hands, and saw several men walk in, grabbed the cook's arm without saying anything, and half-dragged him out.
