Liu Yiwei is naturally also worried about the competition.

Of course, he also has a headache for innovation.

However, compared to Jiang Menglin, he is much calmer now.

As soon as he got to work today, he called his eldest apprentice Lin Miaorong into his head chef's office.

"Miao Rong, how is the matter going, what is the movement on Lao Jiang's side?"

"There is news from Lao Jiang that they are going to use internal selection to select the participants, and it may take a day or two to choose who will be selected. ”

Lin Miaorong immediately reported the news he had in his possession.

"Well, we must pay close attention to this matter, and we must find out which people will participate and what dishes are going to be cooked, so that we can think of countermeasures in a targeted manner. ”

Liu Yiwei commanded again.

Lin Miaorong frowned.

"Master, it's easy to inquire about who participates, but if you figure out what they want to cook, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, I heard that Lao Jiang is going to close the selection, and the trial production is also closed, and then it will be difficult for others to find out the news except for the team members who participated. ”

This made Liu Yiwei very dissatisfied.

He scolded: "If it is difficult, you have to find a way, even if it costs nothing." ”

Liu Yiwei thought very clearly, whether he can win this competition, what he does is not the most critical, the key is to know himself and his opponent in order to come up with effective countermeasures.

And compared to the position of executive chef, it is worth paying a certain price.

Lin Miaorong took the order and left.

In this way, the problem on Liu Yiwei's side was transferred to Lin Miaorong.

But Lin Miaorong had to take over this problem.

The reason is very simple, he and Liu Yiwei are grasshoppers on a rope, if Liu Yiwei can take over as executive chef, he can take over Liu Yiwei's position as head chef.

On the contrary, if Liu Yiwei loses, then he will not think about moving in recent years.

Therefore, for the sake of his own future and interests, Lin Miaorong had to take over this hot potato.

But the question is, how do you start?

If you want to find out ordinary news, it will not be difficult for Lin Miaorong at all, what he has is eyeliner.

But regarding the competition, Lao Jiang was obviously wary of Lao Liu, and ordinary eyeliner couldn't find valuable news at all.

You have to be around Lao Jiang!

Lin Miaorong realized this.

seemed to confirm his point of view, and the inside line of Guangfu cuisine sent him another message: Lin Yongsheng, Yan Yongkang, and Ivan entered Lao Jiang's office again, as if they were preparing to discuss the competition.

Suddenly, Lin Yongsheng, Yan Yongkang, and Ivan entered Lin Miaorong's sight again.

Anyway, Jiang Menglin is also his nominal uncle, of course he knows the relationship between these three people and Jiang Menglin.

But the problem is that he usually doesn't have a good relationship with these three people!

Moreover, Lin Yongsheng and Yan Yongkang are important figures on Lao Jiang's side, and they are also related figures who have a great stake in the competition.

It seems that only Ivan will have to make a fuss about it first!

But the question is, how can we not arouse Lao Jiang's vigilance and suspicion?

It seems that you have to start your own relationships!

Lin Miaorong, who is a delicate person, has a good relationship with important people in many departments of the hotel, and he believes that there must be capable people to help him find a way out of the problems he encounters.

So he picked up the phone and connected with a few good "friends".

At this time, Ivan didn't know that because Lao Jiang gave him the opportunity to audit and study, he was actually regarded as the target of rebellion by others.

Although it was only a temporary preparatory meeting for the competition, Ivan gained something again.

After listening to Lao Jiang's introduction, he realized that there were so many exquisiteness in this competition, and it was not that there were any good innovative dishes that could be won together, but that all the participating dishes had to be combined to make an overall plan, and consider the whole from the aspects of meat and vegetables, ingredients, and cooking methods.

Considering these words as a whole, this is Ivan's harvest.

He was thinking at this time, he instigated Dong Xiaowan to leave Qinlou in a hurry, and then he was going to rent such a big restaurant, did he really just plan to sell buns and dumplings?

Could it be that as written in a certain food article, relying on an egg fried rice to support a restaurant for a long time?

You're going to starve to death!

Although Xiaowan buns and crystal shrimp dumplings are good, without the support of the noble platform of Qin Lou, the situation may not be able to open up all at once.

Also, you can't keep the buns and dumplings and eat the old book, right?

That doesn't help me in my cooking skills.

It seems that the restaurant in the mission can't just sell buns and dumplings, but also have to get something else.

Private dishes!

Ivan immediately thought of such a concept.

In the catering industry, private cuisine is a very special existence.

As the name suggests, private dishes are private dishes, private dishes, and good dishes made by the owner that are eaten in other people's homes.

Private dishes usually have no fixed menus, no full-time waiters, and some don't even have signs, but these dishes are often cooked in a unique way and are available in limited quantities, which is not available in restaurants in the market.

Unlike restaurants and restaurants, the commercial taste of private dishes is not so strong, and the host will come out to socialize for a while during the banquet or after eating, and after several dealings, the diners and the host will become friends.

In Ivan's opinion, after the building in the copy is rented, the small shop on the street is enough to sell buns and dumplings, and the building near the river, the second floor can be used to house Dong Xiaowan and Xiaocui, and the first floor can be used to open private dishes.

Doesn't Dong Xiaowan like to deal with literati?

That's just the right thing to do.

In this way, he and Dong Xiaowan do not have to spend a lot of time cooking the same dishes for guests every day, and have enough time to develop new dishes.

Moreover, private dishes are also in line with his high-priced and high-quality positioning.

The idea is really doable!

But here comes the problem again.

Whether it is him or Dong Xiaowan, in addition to buns and dumplings, there is only one steamed tofu with shrimp head, even if you count the squirrel fish that you can get your hands on, there are only two things.

This is not enough.

So what to do?

He hit Jiang Menglin with the idea again.

"Master, can you tell me how to complete a few dishes?"

Of course, there is a reason why he asks.

A clever chef who can cook any dish in front of anyone, and is not afraid of stealing from anyone.

The reason is simple.

The real delicacy lies in the details, which are mastered by the chef based on experience, and if he does not explain the precautions himself, others can only learn the surface, not the essence.

Therefore, even if Ivan sees Jiang Menglin cooking dishes for so long, many dishes are really asked for him to cook, and it may be okay to satisfy ordinary customers, but if you want to satisfy customers with tastes, it is still far behind.

It is not even better to use it as a private dish.

"Okay, what do you want to learn? Just tell me, I'll teach you the same. ”

Jiang Menglin agreed with another bite.

This made Ivan a little moved again.

He felt really lucky to meet a master who didn't hide his secrets.

Since Master is so good to him, he should repay him.

So he spoke again: "Master, I really know how to cook two innovative dishes that are not bad, do you want to try them?"
