Chapter 371: Ingredients (Happy New Year to everyone!) )

After walking out of the teahouse, Gao Dian rubbed his face, he was acting the whole time, it was really difficult.

The two made an agreement, but Gao Dian didn't fully believe Jin Yuqi's words.

It's just that at this moment, he was a little unsure of what Jin Yuqi wanted to do.

But he absolutely didn't believe that Jin Yuqi was really for his employees.

Thinking of this, Gao Dian was suddenly stunned, and he found a change in his mentality.

Perhaps it was Wei Qiaoyi's reminder before that Gao Dian always paid attention to himself.

In the past, he would not use such great malice to speculate on others, but this time, he used the greatest malice to speculate on Jin Yuqi.

Gao Dian shook his head, maybe Jin Yuqi reminded him of some bad things, so Gao Dian was full of malice towards Jin Yuqi.

Of course, Jin Yuqi himself is not a good person, he took the initiative to provoke Dian Xinlou.

Back at Dianxin Building, after getting off work, Gao Dian met the employee of Jinmanlou who handed him his resume.

The employee was a man of medium build, who did not look very old, about twenty years old, and looked a little honest.

The young man was a little nervous when he saw Gao Dian.

"You're Zhu Bin?" Gao Dian asked.

"Mr. Gao, I'm Zhu Bin." The young man Zhu Bin replied.

"I've read your resume, and I'm quite satisfied with you, that is, there are enough people in the kitchen of Dianxin Building." Gao Dian said.

When Zhu Bin heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he was also smart, and he knew that Gao Dian had come over to meet him, so there was still hope, otherwise, he wouldn't let him come over at all.

"Mr. Gao, I really hope to be able to work in Dianxin Building." Zhu Bin said.

Gao Dian looked at him and said, "Didn't you do a good job in Jinmanlou?" Why do you suddenly want to change jobs? ”

Zhu Bin smiled bitterly: "Jin Manlou is about to fall, Jin Chop ...... Mr. Jin is not short of money, but we are ordinary employees who are different, and if we want to support our families, we must find a way out. ”

Gao Dian thought for a moment and said: "But I heard that you Mr. Jin are very good to you, and you are not willing to leave, and you want to live and die with Jin Manlou?" ”

Zhu Bin snorted lightly with disdain, and said, "Where did you hear these words?" Is the golden peel good for us? Every day when I am in a bad mood, I come to the kitchen to scold, and I have to deduct a little here and there when I pay some wages on weekdays. We haven't been paid every month! ”

Obviously, this topic made Zhu Bin very angry.

When he scolded these words, he probably held back in his heart for too long.

Gao Dian was puzzled: "Then why did you stay in Jinmanlou and didn't leave?" ”

Since Jin Yuqi treats it like this, it's a big deal to go.

This is Gao Dian's own cognitive problem.

"Let's go? Where is it so easy to walk. For ordinary people like us, it takes a lot of courage to leave every job, and it doesn't matter when you're young, but if you have a family like us, you can't just think about yourself when you leave your job.

If I leave my job, how will I support my family? After leaving here, you are not sure when you will find your next job.

Besides, we were still withholding three months' wages, and if we left our jobs without a reason, it would be difficult to get them back.

I also have no choice, Jin Manlou is about to fall when he looks at it, but Jin Peel has not let people go, and we are not leaving.

There are only a few people like me who quietly hand out their resumes. ”

Zhu Bin said with a bitter face.

Gao Dian has not yet started a family, but he still has a deep understanding of Zhu Bin's hardships.

Hearing what Zhu Bin said, Gao Dian probably had some guesses in his heart, and most of what Jin Yuqi said was really fake.

So...... What is the purpose of Jin Yuqi?

Gao Dian thought to himself.

"If you want to leave, you can actually go, and you can get your salary back. At present, the law is very good at protecting this aspect. Gao Dian said.

Zhu Bin shook his head and said, "Where are we going to get these?" ”

In fact, there are many ways to get his salary back, and if he really wants to leave, Jin Yuqi doesn't dare not really give it.

It's just that many people haven't thought about protecting themselves through the weapon of the law, they just want to stay and work, hoping that one day Jin Yuqi will find out with their conscience.

For this situation, Gao Dian is not easy to express any opinions.

"I'm a little curious, when Jinmanlou just opened, wasn't the business very hot? How did you get to this point now? Gao Dian asked.

This is also the main purpose of his meeting with Zhu Bin.

"Mr. Gao, this is not our reason." Zhu Bin hurriedly said.

He is now looking for a job, and he is afraid that Gao Dian will misunderstand the collapse of Jin Manlou and have something to do with their kitchen.

In this regard, Gao Dian did not explain much.

"The reason why Jin Manlou fell was actually made by Jin Peel himself." Zhu Bin said.

Gao Dian was puzzled: "You mean that Jin Yuqi himself collapsed his own Jin Manlou?" What is he trying to do? ”

"He didn't want to bring down Jin Manlou, he just wanted to make more money." Zhu Bin pouted.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Gao Dian asked.

"Absolutely." Zhu Bin agreed, and now he can't wait to explain it clearly, for fear that Gao Dian will misunderstand.

"At the beginning, Jin Manlou's business was very good, but later Jin Pai wanted to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and Jin Manlou's business plummeted." Zhu Bin said.

Gao Dian said: "It's right to open up sources and reduce expenditures, how can it plummet?" ”

Zhu Bin sneered and said: "Our Boss Jin's open source and throttling are not simple, so I won't say much about open source, but it is ...... The cost of ingredients is kept very low. ”

Gao Dian understands in seconds.

If the cost of ingredients is low, the quality of the ingredients will definitely not be good.

Expensive things are not necessarily good, but good things must be expensive.

No one is stupid and sells good things cheaply.

To control the cost of ingredients, you can only buy cheap ingredients, and the quality of this kind of ingredients is likely to be not good.

Maybe this ingredient is not a problem to eat, but for a high-end restaurant, it is very problematic.

You are positioned as a high-end product, and the vegetables are very expensive, so why are you selling them so expensive?

The taste of the food is one of the most important reasons, the restaurant is always a place to eat, and the others are just a foil.

If the ingredients are not good, it will greatly affect the taste of the dish.

As for the decoration, environment, service, etc., so many high-end restaurants, why do you have to eat here? The environment and services elsewhere are not necessarily bad.

For the same person who did this, Gao Dian was very clear about the problem.

Therefore, Dianxinlou has never controlled the cost of ingredients very tightly, and when it should purchase high-quality ingredients, it will purchase high-quality ingredients.

In this way, the profit is lower, but the word of mouth can be done.

"As a high-end restaurant, once the cost of ingredients is too low, you will definitely not be able to buy high-quality ingredients." Gao Dian sighed.

"If you just buy low-quality ingredients, then Jinmanlou will not fall to the point where it is today. What really made Jin Manlou fall to such a point is that Jin Peel buys the kind of ingredients that are sold cheaply. Zhu Bin said.

Gao Dian frowned when he heard this.

"Cheap ingredients? Are you sure? Gao Dian asked with a serious expression.

In fact, the quality of the ingredients has little impact on health, and even if it is a low-quality ingredient, there will be no problem in eating it. At best, it doesn't taste very good.

But there is another ingredient, but it is taboo in the catering industry.

Gao Dian had almost touched this ingredient before.

This kind of ingredient is not a matter of quality, but it is simply not edible, and once eaten, it is harmful to people's health.

This ingredient has one characteristic, and that is - cheap!

It's the kind that is very cheap, and your normal low-quality ingredients may cost five yuan, and that kind of ingredient may only cost three yuan.

There are many problems with this kind of ingredient, which falls below the normal low price.

For example, some partially rotten ingredients, livestock fed with a large number of various hormones, semi-finished ingredients produced in black workshops, and so on.

These ingredients are inedible in themselves.

Some ingredients are full of various germs that are harmful to the human body, and if you eat them, you will get sick, threatening your health and life; Some ingredients contain various hormones, and after eating, the hormones in the body are disordered, leading to problems in the body.

Food safety has always been a red line and the bottom line of the catering industry.

You can do without high-quality ingredients, but you can't use problematic ingredients. Once this bottom line is touched, it is intolerable to anyone.

Therefore, hearing Zhu Bin's words, Gao Dian was so serious.

"Really." Zhu Bin nodded, and suddenly he lowered his voice and said, "I heard before that several people in Jin Manlou had problems with eating, and then it was Jin Yuqi who took the money to settle the matter, so he didn't make a big deal about it." ”

When Gao Dian heard this, his heart was shocked.

He knew that Jin Yuqi was bad, but he didn't expect him to be so bad.

"Zhu Bin, I don't know if you can help?" Gao Dian asked.

"What's the busy?" Zhu Bin didn't immediately agree.

Gao Dian whispered a few words, Zhu Bin couldn't help but take two steps back, his voice trembling a little.

"Mr. Gao, this ...... I'm afraid I'm not up to the task. ”

"It's okay, what you do is very simple, you just need to cooperate. After the deed is completed, you can come to work in Dianxin Building. Gao Dian said.

Zhu Bin's eyes flashed, he was just an ordinary person, but he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between Dianxinlou and Jinmanlou.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Bin made a decision.

"Mr. Gao, I promise you! I have long been unaccustomed to Jin Yuqi's approach. Zhu Bin said.

………………

A few days passed.

Gao Dian has less time to enter the kitchen, and seems to be busy with something.

This made Wei Qiaoyi very puzzled.

She could probably guess that Gao Dian was busy competing with Jin Manlou, after all, now that this matter has spread.

But what she didn't understand was why Gao Dian wanted to abandon the basics.

Improving your cooking skills is the key, so why spend so much time on other things?

It's just that Wei Qiaoyi didn't try to persuade much, and she didn't care about anything, just took care of things in the kitchen.

In the past few days, Gao Dian has not been idle, he has been busy with many things.

The fact that Dianxinlou and Jinmanlou are going to hold a competition has been publicized, and many people know about it.

For Jin Manlou, everyone is actually a little unfamiliar, and they haven't heard of this name much.

But Dianxin Building, everyone still knows a little.

This is a new restaurant that has been gaining momentum recently, and the taste of the noodles is also very good, and the price is reasonable. The specialty is the limited dishes of the Dianxin Building, and the taste is simply amazing.

The obscure Jinmanlou, the star-like Dianxin Building, the two seemingly unrelated hotels, actually want to hold a competition.

This has puzzled many people.

Slowly, everyone also knows some "insiders".

This game was initiated by Jin Manlou, to be precise, Jin Manlou challenged Dianxin Building.

Before, everyone was a little unfamiliar with Jinmanlou, but with the publicity, everyone slowly learned about this hotel.

After checking, everyone found that the evaluation of this restaurant is very low, most of them say that the taste is not good, and a few comments even say that the ingredients of Jinmanlou are problematic.

But there are only one or two that say that there is a problem with the ingredients, and everyone doesn't take it too seriously.

The dishes made by Jin Manlou taste so bad, why should it challenge Dianxin Lou?

For a while, this suspense was thrown out and successfully attracted the attention of a large number of people.

The propaganda was led by Jin Yuqi, and Gao Dian just cooperated.

At first, Gao Dian thought that Jin Yuqi would do anything in publicity, but after some publicity, he didn't do anything.

It's just a very ordinary competition, just two restaurants for the contestants.

Gao Dian had to admit that Jin Yuqi was still very methodical, not only making the competition between the two hotels so prosperous, but also strengthening the image of the two hotels.

After his publicity, there is a lot of attention to this game now.

Jin Yuqi did this, which was somewhat unexpected by Gao Dian.

In fact, if Gao Dian didn't know some inside stories, he would probably think that Jin Yuqi would think about Dian Xinlou as he said, and he would use Jin Manlou's last residual warmth to give Dian Xinlou a ride.

It's a pity that Gao Dian has already seen through Jin Yuqi, and what he is doing at the moment, Gao Dian can probably guess what he wants to do.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the competition.

For this competition, both Dianxin Building and Jinmanlou closed business at the same time and jointly held this competition.

Of course, for Jin Manlou, it doesn't matter if it's open or not, after all, Jin Manlou doesn't have any business.

But after a day of closure, there are still losses for Dianxin Building.

The venue was held in the Dianxin Building, and Jin Yuqi brought the chef in his kitchen to the Dianxin Building for a challenge.

In this competition, the best-of-five system was adopted.

Whichever wins five games first, that one wins.

Although there are many chefs from both kitchens, not all of them participate, and if all of them participate in the competition, when will they have to compete?

This game was also broadcast live at the same time, and there were many people who came to watch the game.

It can be seen that everyone is still very interested in this game.

Jin Yuqi said from a long distance: "Mr. Gao, when will the game start?" ”

Gao Dian said: "It will start in a while. ”

Jin Yuqi nodded and led everyone to stand aside.
