Cao Ping didn't sleep well all night, and the more fully prepared, the more apprehensive he was before the results came out. Cao Ping got up at six o'clock and eagerly ran to the store to check again to see if there was anything missing. Cao Ping's opening time is ten o'clock, and the notice to the guests is also ten o'clock. Mainly considering that the main guests of the restaurant and bar are mainly college students, and today is Sunday, many college students habitually sleep lazy, will not go out so early, open too early without customer flow, will also look embarrassing, Cao Ping looked at the decoration, he noticed the change in the daily passenger flow in the mall, so he deliberately chose this time to open, and the later work will be changed to eight o'clock in the morning.
Chef Lao Xie came to the store with his apprentices at seven o'clock, the first day of opening, he also attaches great importance to it, as the former five-star hotel chef, he has particularly strict requirements for hygiene, and takes the apprentices to the store a week in advance to clean the back kitchen, although all kinds of utensils are new, but he also requires to be cleaned over and over again, just to let the apprentices after the vacation enter the working state as soon as possible, and under their tireless cleaning, now the kitchen is so clean that Cao Ping can't bear to step in, for fear of causing the little apprentice to drag the ground again.
At eight o'clock, Huang Xuan also brought the waiters over, and the entire store hired twelve service staff, six of whom were old employees of the previous KTV, and they were called back by Huang Xuan, they were not very old, but they were all familiar. When the front was renovated, Huang Xuan sent them to various surrounding universities to distribute leaflets for publicity, and gave them a salary of 100 a day. How could these few people who have been crawling in the wine field for many years, goblins and goblins, do such rough work? Fifty yuan was handed over, and a few college students who worked odd jobs were hired to distribute them, and a few people rubbed them outside for a while, and then they went to the Internet café, and one of them built dozens of accounts to post advertisements on the forums of surrounding college campuses. And when KTV is still there, the students in the surrounding universities also like to come here to engage in large and small activities, and there is a guy named Wang Meng in these few who are familiar with the head of the student union in the surrounding universities, and they draw a pie to find a girl to take them to the score, so let them help advertise in the school's larger group, for a while, a few people have made some movement on the Internet, whether it is disgusting in the surrounding universities, Curious, I was still furious by their overwhelming advertising, and I knew that there was a music theme bar called Sancai in Wudaokou Shopping Center that was about to open.
Cao Ping casually said three talents when he chose the name, after all, the start-up staff of this store is three people, and the business content is also three. In ancient times, the music of the wilderness was considered by the sacrifices to be a tool used to communicate with the heavens; wine needs to be cellared and buried for thousands of years to become a masterpiece; and people live to eat, this name is also appropriate.
Of the remaining six waiters, four were dug by Cao Ping from Haidilao, and two were college students hired to do odd jobs.
At nine o'clock, Zhang Yishan and the others also came over, and Zhao Lei walked back and forth. As soon as Zhao Lei arrived at the place, he and Xue Zhiqian went to debug the audio equipment, today he had fans over, naturally he didn't dare to be ambiguous, Cao Ping asked Zhang Yishan to take care of them in front, and he hurriedly ran into the back kitchen to see the preparation of the dishes.
Since it was the first day, I don't know how many guests there were, but the friends who came were all important and could not be neglected. Therefore, Cao Ping and the others were preparing to make a buffet banquet, and the waiters all changed into serious waiters' tuxedos and waited for them. Although Lao Xie is no stranger to such a banquet, but this is the first time he cooked for Cao Ping after he took the initiative to resign after being impressed by Cao Ping's cooking skills, in his opinion, there is only one guest at this banquet, that is Cao Ping, therefore, he is more stern than before, and even seems a little anxious, just three times in the morning, the whole kitchen is frightened, Cao Ping has to come to the back kitchen to appease.
"Today is the first day of Sancai's opening, it is the time to test your level and start our fame, I hope everyone cheers up, but don't be too nervous, after all, with Chef Xie here, there shouldn't be any big problems. Cao Ping said with a smile, but seeing Lao Xie's serious face, he had to laugh dryly, close his mouth, and go to see the food on the table.
The pastry chef was busy making all kinds of pastries, the second chef was processing seafood, the third chef was busy frying steaks, and Lao Xie pulled Cao Ping to the desk, took a pair of clean knives and forks, and handed them to Cao Ping, wanting Cao Ping to try the dishes. Although now is not the time, Cao Ping still took it, cut off a piece of steak, put it in his mouth with a fork, chewed it lightly, Cao Ping swallowed the beef, and said: "I won't say much about the good place, not enough to say, the saltiness of the steak on the bottom is slightly thicker than the top surface, the taste is unbalanced, it should be that the coarse salt particles put in the frying are too large, not crushed in advance, and the heat has passed for ten seconds, and the pepper on it is slightly paste, which affects the taste, but overall it is still good." ”
This is obviously not the answer that Lao Xie wants, he glared at the second chef viciously, the steak was fried by him, the second chef was trembling, almost cut his hand, Cao Ping smiled and patted Lao Xie on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, Lao Xie, today is not the time, after two days of leisure, I will teach you a secret recipe for beef stew." ”
With sweet dates to eat, Lao Xie was finally satisfied, and his loud voice filled the kitchen again, and the back kitchen was like a lubricated machine in Lao Xie's demonic scolding, and the run-in became more and more precise. Lao Xie said before he came, he needs the absolute authority of the kitchen, this is the self-confidence of a good chef, and it is also part of the management of the kitchen. The back kitchen is the least worrying place for Cao Ping, he only needs to control Lao Xie, and Lao Xie will naturally take care of other things for him.
Zhang Yishan ran to the door of the kitchen, poked his head out and shouted at Cao Ping: "Cao Ping, Mr. Huang, they have arrived!"
Hearing this, Cao Ping hurriedly ran out, looked at his watch, it was already half past nine, and went out of the door, Teacher Huang, Teacher Li, and Teacher Hu took the students of the 2012 performance department (2) class of Beiying to the door, Zhou Dongyu and Yang Zi, Guli Nazha also came together, and for a while, Yingying Yanyan, laughter, and the girls became a landscape, attracting a lot of passers-by.
The appearance quality of the students of the Beiying Performance Department is still very guaranteed, and the lethality of a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women standing together is still a bit strong, and it soon attracted a group of people to come around and take a look, and soon someone found the familiar star face inside and shouted.
Teacher Huang and they sent two flower baskets together, and the students sent two flower baskets together, both of which were placed next to the gate, seeing that there were already people around, Cao Ping quickly let the teacher and classmates in, and the onlookers were stopped outside, and some people were dissatisfied and said: "Why can they go in? We won't let them in?"
At this time, when Wang Meng and they appeared, they talked about the scene of the meal, introduced the situation of the restaurant, handed out the business cards in the store, and said that they would open at ten o'clock and take the business cards to get a discount, and everyone was satisfied. looked at the time, and it wouldn't be long before a few uncles who came over to pass the time simply stood in place and waited.
Chinese people have an onlooker effect, especially on rest days, as long as there are people around, there will always be people who come to see the excitement, there are those uncles taking the lead, there are no people at the door of the dining bar, and there is always a circle of people, and Wang Meng They also took the trouble to introduce over and over again, send business cards, and Cao Ping accompanied Huang Lei and them into first.
"Can you do this, is the place quite big?" Huang Lei looked around, the tables and chairs in the hall had been withdrawn to the side, and in the middle was a long table, covered with white cloth, and the kitchen served all kinds of snacks and appetizers one after another. The main course should be left for a while to ensure that it is hot when it reaches the mouths of the guests.
Teacher Hu's waist is not very good, so Teacher Li Qian helped him to sit on the side, and the students ran around curiously, some watched Xue Zhiqian and them debugging the audio equipment, some gathered around the long table and drooled, and more gathered around the bar, watching the handsome bartender Yu Tianyin playing with the wine bottle, making bursts of exclamations.
Smiled and exchanged a few words with Huang Lei, Cao Ping hurried to the door to receive, Wang Qianyuan, Liu Shishi their flower baskets have been sent over, but people will not arrive until the afternoon, as well as Zhang Zhen, Tony Leung, Zhang Jin's flower baskets, also entrusted to the company to send over, for a while, the door was full of flower baskets, Cao Ping had to ask the waiter to move the flower basket to the side as much as possible, so as not to block the door.
Soon, when the time reached ten o'clock, all the people came out of the store and stood at the door, and the onlookers who came behind were instantly excited, and they took out their mobile phones to take pictures, while guessing the identity of the boss, how big the background must be to invite so many stars to participate in the opening ceremony of a small restaurant.
The decoration of the store is mainly wooden, with a bit of retro feeling, therefore, Cao Ping specially ordered a signboard for the store, wrapped in red cloth, Xue Zhiqian took a pole and handed it to him, used to pick up red cloth. Cao Ping shook his head with a smile, didn't answer, but took two steps back, took off into the air, jumped up more than two meters high, stretched out his hand and took off the red cloth lightly, and the big "Sancai" two bronzing characters were exposed. This hand won a full house at once, and everyone applauded in surprise, and the masses who didn't know the truth thought that he had hanged Weiya!
When playing basketball at school, Cao Ping's bounce was already famous, but it didn't reach such an exaggerated level today, this is already a light work, Zhang Yishan and they knew that Cao Ping didn't do his best when he played basketball, so the applause was particularly vigorous. Zhang Yishan clapped his hands and smiled: "Won't the boss say a few words?"
Cao Ping smiled, didn't make a long speech, just bowed simply, and said loudly: "Thank you for everyone's support to me, without you there would be no me today, Sancai Music Theme Dinner, officially opened today, I hope everyone has fun!"
Bang! Bang! Zhang Yishan They unscrewed the ribbon cannon, screaming and coaxing, Huang Xuan commanded the waiter to open the door, and everyone rushed in.
