Chapter Ninety-Eight: Stealing a Master? Not!
Not only Xu An, but everyone else in the store was taken aback by Zhang Dezhen's sudden tenor.
Whether they were chatting, handing out, collecting money, counting money, or playing in the store, they all turned their heads and stared at Xu An and the two with blazing eyes.
"Ahem, come into the kitchen and say, come into the kitchen and say."
Xu An walked into the kitchen with Zhang Dezhen, who was extremely excited, closed the door, and asked after eliminating everyone's eyes: "You just said that you plan to apply for a chef?" Do you have relevant experience? ”
"Yes! I worked in the back kitchen of the Happy Garden Hotel for four years... Helper..."Zhang Dezhen's voice became smaller and smaller, from the beginning of the high-spirited to the cramped and uneasy, to the end of the fingers broken.
Hey, the helper, although he works in the kitchen, he generally doesn't have access to the work of stir-frying, which is a bit difficult.
"What was your main job as a helper?"
"You can do laundry, side dishes, sanitation and so on." Zhang Dezhen realized that something was wrong after speaking, what he wanted to do was the chef's, and what he said was the work of the helper, so he hurriedly remedied: "I can make cold dishes, and the taste of lo-mei is also very good." ”
Hearing the lo-mei, Xu An became interested and asked, "What are you good at?" ”
"As long as it's eaten, it's marinated!" Zhang Dezhen's crampedness just now was swept away, and he regained his self-confidence: "Every household in my hometown can make lo-mei, and my family is the best lo-mei in the whole village." ”
Pickled vegetables?
Potatoes, lotus roots, yuba, kelp, eggs, pork and other ingredients are available in the store.
Xu An immediately asked Zhang Dezhen if it was inconvenient to come out of the whole pot and taste his craftsmanship. Zhang Dezhen responded in one bite, and followed Xu An to the second floor to choose the seasoning to use.
Everyone was about to leave after settling today's wages, but after hearing that Zhang Dezhen was going to make lo-mei, they didn't leave, and they all sat down in the store.
"Boss, the secret recipe in my house..."Zhang Dezhen prepared the ingredients and prepared to cook, and when he saw Xu An next to him with an interested face, he immediately said a little embarrassed.
Understood, understood, Xu An immediately walked out of the kitchen, and closed the kitchen door very intimately.
Everyone waited for less than half an hour, and a mellow and rich fragrance came out through the cracks in the kitchen doors and windows, causing everyone to laugh.
Xu An was also very greedy when he smelled this smell!
In my previous life, when I got off work, I would occasionally go to the lo-mei shop to buy some duck neck, duck collarbones, potatoes, lotus root, wakame and other lo-mei and eat them at home, which was very satisfying.
Especially when watching the game at night, I have a can of beer in my left hand and a duck neck in my right hand, so I am not happy.
The smell is getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer confined to the store, but the smell has drifted outside the store and continues to spread around the store.
From time to time, nearby residents walked to the door of the store, probed their heads to look into the store, and some of the self-cooked ones would ask a few words about what they were cooking.
In this regard, Xu An naturally invited them to come in and sit very warmly, and wait for the lo-mei to taste the taste before leaving.
There are more and more people sitting in the store, and it is not likely that the first floor will be full, so it is not lively.
But it is estimated that most people are just confused by the smell and fragrance, and they come in to join in the fun with the idea of not eating free things for nothing.
The consumer groups of lo-mei are basically young people, and most of the middle-aged and elderly people feel that this play is too heavy and not good for their health, and they will not eat it two or three times a year.
Youngster?
Well!
The audience of Xu's fast food restaurant is basically young people! Especially when you place an order through the website, 99.99% of them are young people!
There is also Haishi Navigation Academy, which is now in August, and when it comes to September, it will all open~
While Xu An was thinking, the kitchen door that had been closed was opened, and Zhang Dezhen walked out with two large plates of cut lo-mei, and was startled by the crowd in the store.
What's going on, how can there be so many more people in the store after cooking a lo-mei!
Although he couldn't figure it out, it didn't delay him from putting the plate with lo-mei in front of Xu An's table: "Boss, you taste it." ”
Xu An picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks, tore open the package, tore open the chopsticks, and directly picked up a piece of braised potatoes and put it in his mouth.
The potatoes completely absorb the flavor of the marinade, not to mention the tenderness and deliciousness, and it doesn't feel soft enough when you pick it up, but it melts when you bite it when you put it in your mouth, and it's delicious!
The marinated eggs were cut into four by Zhang Dezhen and poured marinade on top, and the yolks looked sauce-colored.
Xu An sandwiched a quarter into his mouth, the egg was not completely marinated, and a trace of the sweetness of the egg itself was retained. If you soak it all afternoon, the overbearing marinade will completely overwhelm the eggs, the taste will become more complex, and the flavor of the marinade will be more intense.
Kelp, yuba, lotus root, pork......
Every time he tasted the same, Xu An couldn't help but nod his head.
In Xu An's nods again and again, Zhang Dezhen's whole aura became relaxed, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
After Xu An put down his chopsticks, he saw that everyone around him was staring at him, and he hurriedly beckoned everyone to try it too.
Suddenly, more than a dozen or twenty pairs of chopsticks flew in front of Xu An's eyes, and in an instant, two large plates full of lo-mei were swept away, and only the remaining marinade on the plate proved that they had existed.
With the entrance of the lo-mei, the praise of one after another resounded in every corner of the store.
"Boss, what's going on?" Zhang Dezhen looked at Xu An with a blank look in his eyes, half worried and half expectant.
"Hmm-" Xu An pondered for a moment and said, "If you are only asked to be the master of braised vegetables, can you accept it?" ”
Zhang Dezhen's expression froze, and he asked cautiously: "What about the salary?" ”
"Two thousand three months, including lunch, and working hours like everyone else, from six in the morning to two in the afternoon."
"Huh! Okay! ”
Xu An suddenly felt a little chill on his back, turned his head to look, and found that it was Xu Kang and Xu Le who were staring at him resentfully, with 'happy' written on their faces.
Seeing that Xu An finally noticed him, the two of them had their mouths deflated, and as soon as their eyes were closed, they began to magnify their moves - thunder alone does not rain!
"Wow, ahhhh Brother is bad! My brother eats delicious food alone and doesn't give it to us! ”
"Wow, ah, ah, I'm going to eat something delicious, I'm going to eat it! To eat! To eat! ”
Xu An looked at Zhang Dezhen as if asking for help, Zhang Dezhen immediately turned around and entered the kitchen as if he understood, and after a while, he came out with a small plate of lo-mei, and thoughtfully inserted a toothpick and handed it to Grandma Xu.
The two little guys suddenly stopped making trouble, and ate the lo-mei deliciously, and their eyes narrowed into a small crescent moon.
Zhang Dezhen didn't prepare much lo-mei for Xu Kang and Xu Le, and Grandma Xu also ate a few pieces, so the two little guys tasted it fresh and didn't eat too much.
Such a capable employee, as well as such a single-handed lo-mei kung fu, must be recruited!
After deciding tomorrow's lo-mei dishes with Zhang Dezhen, Xu An glanced at the kitchen and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I still need to prepare the contract, and I will sign it when I come over tomorrow morning." ”
Zhang Dezhen has no opinion on signing the contract tomorrow, the hotel where he worked before, but the contract was signed for seven days of trial work, and there was no dime of wages for the seven days of trial work.
Xu An's side can sign the contract tomorrow and calculate the salary, which is already quite good.
After Zhang Dezhen left, only Xu An's family of four was left in the store.
Xu An did it behind the cash register, turned on the kitchen monitor, and adjusted it to the time period when Zhang Dezhen was making lo-mei.
Don't get me wrong, this is not to steal Zhang Dezhen's lo-mei recipe, but to be sure of one thing.
Xu An has seen a lot in later generations, the so-called lo-mei stalls with family secret recipes, half of the ten are poppy shells.
He believed that some lo-mei stalls really had family secret recipes, but he didn't dare to bet on them.
It's not easy for my own business to get up, and with the scale it is now, I can't fall on it.
After watching Zhang Dezhen's cooking process frame by frame, and making sure that there were no unknown objects that did not belong to the store on the whole screen, Xu An was relieved.
Since there is no problem, I will sign a contract with Zhang Dezhen early tomorrow morning!
Subsequently, Xu An turned off the video recording, clicked on the backstage of the ordering web page, and added a column of braised vegetables.
You have to have potatoes, you have to have some kelp, and you have to have lotus root and yuba, plus it!
There are so many vegetarians, you still have to have a meaty, and the eggs taste for a long time, so let's have some quail eggs...
……
After adding more than a dozen kinds of lo-mei, Xu An finally stopped satisfied.
He will never admit that he wants to eat it!
The last is the pricing link, the price of lo-mei is not low, but the main focus of Xu's fast food restaurant is high quality and low price, so it would be good to make two or three times the profit.
The market price is one dollar a catty, the greenhouse purchase price is three cents a catty, plus the rent, water, electricity, artificial seasonings and other expenses, it is not too much to sell it for five yuan a catty!
Support!
After all the prices were edited, Xu An clicked upload, and the new menu appeared on the webpage.
Duan Yuwen, who had just ordered in to prepare for ordering, suddenly found that there was an extra row of lo-mei menus, unlike other dishes, this lo-mei only had a menu and no pictures.
There is a description of the dish under each lo-mei, and there is a sentence at the end of the description - the boss highly recommends it, it is extremely delicious!
The price is not expensive, or the boss recommends it, then try half a catty of potatoes and lotus roots!
In the blink of an eye, three lists of boxed lunches ordered for lo-mei appeared in the background.
