After receiving a call from the expo staff, Xu An fell into ecstasy, and his mind was full of how much profit could be obtained from more than 2,000 boxed lunches, and how to maximize the benefits of this cooperation......

But reality quickly gave Xu An a slap in the face and made him quickly calm down.

Today, the total number of meals in Xu's fast food restaurant is about 2,500 servings, and more than ten people began to be busy after unloading the ingredients at six o'clock, and Xu An and Zhou Qi began to stand in front of the stove at seven o'clock, one person controlled two pots for cooking.

One pot can cook about 25 dishes at a time, and the fierce stove can greatly reduce the time required for cooking, usually 15 to 20 minutes of cooking in home cooking, with the blessing of the fierce stove, it only takes about 10 minutes to get out of the pot.

In such an efficient situation, Xu An and Zhou Qi still need to work non-stop from seven o'clock in the morning to half past ten in the morning to complete the cooking of the day's dishes.

Unless Xu An can now find two or three chefs with good physical strength and many years of work experience, it will be difficult to complete the order of the expo even if it is next.

But where is it so easy to find a chef with good physical strength and many years of work experience, and the recruitment entrusted to two intermediary companies has not been followed up until now.

Later, I found five other intermediary companies to recruit at the same time, but there was still no news.

It is even more difficult to recruit two or three chefs who meet your requirements in a short period of time.

Can we only give up the opportunity of the expo?

Xu An asked himself in his heart, and the answer he came to was unwilling!

According to the information on the Internet, one-fifth of the exhibitors are local enterprises in Haishi.

In other words, the fame of Xu's fast food restaurant can spread faster and more comprehensively to companies or factories that have the need to order boxed lunches through this expo.

This is accurate propaganda!

But if you want to complete this order, the first thing to do is that the boxed lunch capacity of Xu's fast food restaurant can meet the supply demand.

Just as Xu An was thinking about how to bypass the unrealistic problem of manpower and directly meet the demand for production capacity, an ordinary, middle-sized flat-headed man of about 50 years old walked into Xu's fast food restaurant.

After he entered the store, he was not in a hurry to check out and eat, but inspected Xu's fast food restaurant with a serious expression.

After looking inside and out of the places where customers are allowed to visit the No. 1 and No. 3 stores, a trace of doubt rose in the man's heart.

There is only one master in the kitchen of the No. 1 store, there is not a single master in the kitchen of the No. 3 store, and there is not a single helper who washes and chops vegetables.

But where did the meals come from?

The middle-aged flat-headed man who couldn't figure out the reason chose to make a fast food and thought about it while eating.

When the man entered the store, Xu An didn't care much.

But the man wandered around the store several times, looking east and west, and all kinds of behaviors and actions clearly told Xu An that he was here to visit the store, and Xu An had to pay attention to what the man wanted to do.

It shouldn't be someone from the expo who came to inspect it, just hung up the phone, and this is someone? This is unlikely.

However, after this person wandered around a few times, he honestly gave money to cook and eat, and there was nothing abnormal, Xu An withdrew his gaze and continued to dream of his Spring and Autumn Festival.

The main dish of choice for the flat-headed man is the spicy chicken, which is a plump and tender golden chicken nugget hidden in the red chili peppers, and the outer layer of the chicken nuggets is wrapped in dense white sesame seeds, which adds a unique flavor to it.

The second dish is the regular tomato scrambled eggs, fried to a bright yellow, delicate and fluffy chicken nuggets fully absorb the tomato soup, neutralize the tomato's own fruity sourness, and the green onions on it stimulate the potential aroma of the tomato, and the combination of red, yellow and green can easily arouse people's appetite.

The man scooped up a spoonful of tomato scrambled egg soup and poured it on the white rice, the red soup quickly slid down the gap in the rice, and after a while, the rice was soaked in the soup and turned a faint red, and you can already imagine the sweet and sour taste of the rice in the mouth.

But now is not the time to taste, the man's eyes are fixed on the last dish on the plate—minced meat and beans.

Instead of fresh beans, capers are pickled and have a unique flavor.

The meat foam marinated in seasoning in advance is stir-fried to show an attractive sauce color, and the sour aroma of capers stimulated by the high temperature arouses the taste buds and the desire to eat.

As an eight-dollar fast food, whether it is the dish, the amount or the appearance and flavor, it has reached the passing line.

Picking up the spoon, the man first scooped a spoonful of rice full of soup, and the rice that was originally only 40 points was eaten with the blessing of the soup, and he felt 70 points, which was quite remarkable.

Spicy chicken, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, minced meat and beans, and white rice disappear into the bloody mouth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, after drinking the winter melon and tofu soup, the man finally gave a long burp and sat down in his chair with a satisfied smile on his face.

After resting for a while, the man stood up from his seat, walked straight to Xu An and stood still, staring at Xu An with a resolute expression: "Boss Xu, I am Liu Daxi, who was introduced by Sihai Human Resources Agency to apply for a chef. ”

Xu An subconsciously glanced at the buckle, and noted that in the chat box of the human resources agency of the four seas, the chat time was stagnant five days ago.

"They called me, but I didn't agree." Liu Daxi explained: "I want to see the real situation of your store before making plans, and now I have read it again, and I am quite satisfied with your fast food restaurant." ”

is so crazy, so arrogant, and so domineering, I just don't know how much ability this person has.

Xu An stood up from his seat, looked at Liu Daxi, and smiled gently: "Master Liu, please." ”

After that, Xu An strode ahead and brought people to the second branch of Xu's fast food restaurant.

Since Aunt He's friend came over, Zhou Qi has been completely liberated from the work of cooking, and after eleven o'clock is basically free time, and now he is sitting next to the sink with a stool doing nothing, talking and laughing with Aunt He.

Zhou Qi, who was laughing, inadvertently turned around, and saw Xu An walking this way and Liu Daxi walking behind Xu An, the expression on his face froze, just like a naughty child seeing an adult, he hurriedly stood upright, pretending to be well-behaved.

After standing still, I realized that I am now an independent chef, and I am no longer a small helper who comes and goes.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said honestly: "Master Liu, why did you come here?" ”

Liu Daxi was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhou Qi call him, and he searched in his mind for a long time but did not find a memory related to Zhou Qi, and his face couldn't help showing a little doubt: "Who is?" ”

"I worked in the Imperial Banquet Hotel in '04, and you were in charge of the Imperial Banquet Hotel at that time." Zhou Qi scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I'm the helper inside, and you've instructed me a few times." ”

"Oooh!" Liu Daxi looked suddenly enlightened, but in fact, he still didn't think of Zhou Qi: "Then are you working in Xu's fast food restaurant now?" ”

"Yes, I'm a chef at Xu's fast food restaurant now." Zhou Qi's tone was very modest, but the expression on his face was very proud.

From a small helper to a chef in a fast food restaurant, it may not be a big deal for a master like Liu Daxi, but for Zhou Qi, who was born as a helper, this is very remarkable.

"Oh! You cooked all the three dishes and one soup in the store today? Liu Daxi's tone was slightly surprised.

"Yes." Zhou Qi nodded and quickly added, "I cooked with the boss." ”

Boss?

Liu Daxi quietly glanced at the young man standing beside him, he didn't expect the owner of this fast food restaurant to also cook, and the level was quite good.

"Master Liu, since you are going to apply for a chef job, how about you try it out if I come up with a question?" Xu An's words interrupted the endless greetings between the two, and when they became colleagues in the future, they had the opportunity to chat.

"Yes." Liu Daxi nodded without hesitation, and was quite confident in himself: "Boss Xu, you have a question." ”

Xu An glanced at the inventory of ingredients in the store, and blurted out the names of the three dishes: "Oyster sauce lettuce, sour and hot shredded potatoes, bitter gourd scrambled eggs." ”

"Okay!"

After Liu Daxi nodded, he unceremoniously walked to the vegetable basket and began to look through the vegetables inside, picking up a vegetable from time to time and putting it under his nose to smell it.

I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, the quality of the vegetables in this fast food restaurant is quite high!

Maybe it's still a little bit different from the big hotels where I worked, but it can beat 99% of the restaurants and fast food restaurants on the market.

No wonder the taste of the dish is so good, and the quality of this vegetable can be regarded as adding ten points.

After selecting the vegetables, Liu Daxi walked to the back kitchen, familiarized himself with the kitchen utensils a little, and began to show his skills.

When Liu Daxi was busy in the kitchen, Xu An quietly approached Zhou Qi and asked in a low voice what the origin of this person was.

From the conversation between the two just now, it can be known that Zhou Qi is quite familiar with Liu Daxi.
