Chapter 43 The opening of new stores and the finalization of private recipes
Time has entered March, the temperature has begun to rise, and the wind blowing on the face does not have the knife-like feeling of the previous days. The pace of spring is gradually approaching.
The new store of Youran Farm Bun Shop opened successfully after intensive preparations. There are more than 20 dining tables of various sizes in the spacious hall. Although it cannot meet all the needs due to the overwhelming number of customers, after all, most people can finally eat indoors.
Enjoy the food in comfort. The takeout area has been moved to the south of the new store, with a newly opened window, and the queue is much shorter than before.
After the store expanded in size, the number of steamed buns sold every day increased sharply and has reached about 15,000. The amount of other rice porridge, soy milk, cold dishes, etc. is also considerable, and the business hours finally include three meals a day.
.
However, those elderly customers still like to visit the old Baozi Pu store. Although the place is cramped, they say they just like the relaxed atmosphere and say they won’t go to the new store to join in the fun with young people.
The recruitment of new employees, which Aunt Qi and Gu Weiwei were in charge of, was successfully completed before the new store opened. As the Baozi Shop became famous, as soon as the recruitment notice came out, many people signed up, and in the end, they basically chose one out of five.
A total of ten new employees were recruited, and they all took up their posts after simple training. This brings the total number of people in the bun shop to eighteen, which is considered a small and large-scale one. Different work clothes and name tags are customized for different positions, and each performs their own duties and management.
It has gradually become more formal.
The progress of private cuisine is slower. After all, taking the high-end catering route requires careful preparation. The custom-made installation of a special external staircase and the renovation of the private rooms on the second floor have been completed. The kitchen has also separated a room for private cuisine.
dedicated.
Li Youran has basically let go of the daily affairs of the bun shop except for providing space ingredients and water. He understands that a successful boss must not micromanage everything and mix everything. Trust is necessary, and at the same time, he must also give everything in order.
Auntie and the other managers should exercise well.
That afternoon, Liu Senjiang found Li Youran with the information. The two discussed in the office for more than an hour and finally decided on the recipe plan for the private kitchen.
One, orange chrysanthemum fish two, braised wild fish soup three, boiled plain shrimp four, hibiscus shrimp balls five, fried eyebrow bean sausage six, hot and sour cucumber strips seven, radish braised pork ribs eight, chopped pepper loofah cup nine, ginger juice
Cowpeas, shredded mustard radish
Eleven, stir-fried beef tenderloin with loofah. Twelve, stir-fried cabbage with minced garlic.
A total of twelve dishes, plus a drawer of exquisite steamed buns and a pot of mountain spring water for tea
The portion of each dish does not need to be too large, and the food should be well-made and delicious. After all, customers are positioned as high-end and come to enjoy delicious food rather than filling their stomachs.
The type of fish in the recipe is variable and can be adjusted at any time according to supply.
In addition, the private dining room does not make money by selling alcohol, so customers are allowed to bring their own alcohol.
Liu Senjiang serves as the chef and supervisor of the private kitchen department. He is temporarily assigned two handymen and two waiters. He will add more manpower according to the situation in the future.
After the plan was agreed upon, Li Youran called Feng Daniu and asked him to arrange for someone to purchase several sets of more exquisite bone china tableware, as well as some pork and beef raw materials raised by rural farmers as much as possible to further improve the quality of private dishes.
Li Youran and Liu Senjiang then went to the south warehouse on the first floor to check the condition of the fish. After this period of feeding, the fish grew rapidly, and a large number of them exceeded one kilogram. This weight is also the stage when the fish meat is the most delicious.
Li Youran took a piece of flour cake, broke it into pieces, and threw a handful into the fish tank. Water splashed all over, and the fish rushed to eat, and even fought fiercely with each other. There were constant snapping sounds and flashes of light coming from the tank wall.
The dazzling silver fish scales fell off in clusters and floated to the bottom of the tank.
Liu Senjiang was stunned. How had he ever seen such ferocious farmed fish? At first, Li Youran asked him to mark wild fish on his private menu. Liu Senjiang was still a little hesitant, but now it seems that he was overly worried.
It seems that boss Li must have mastered special fish farming technology. He is so powerful at such a young age. Liu Senjiang thought to himself.
In the evening, Fatty Luo came over for dinner, and Li Youran specially asked Liu Senjiang to make an orange-flavored chrysanthemum fish from his private recipe to try out the taste.
There was some trouble when catching fish. These little guys who were dull when they were first bought became extremely cunning. The selected carp realized the danger and immediately used all its strength to drill everywhere at extremely fast speeds.
Liu Senjiang and Uncle Qi spent a lot of effort to catch it. The carp was still unwilling to be trapped in the net bag and kept jumping around, causing the net bag to rattle and almost let it run back.
"What a good guy, it's better than wild fish." Liu Senjiang praised.
"Actually, rivers, lakes and seas are polluted everywhere these days, and wild fish can only do that," Li Youran said. Recently, he added some pergola crops to the fish feed. Ran asked.
Sitting around the table are still the original main staff. Although the store has expanded and the number of people has increased, they still maintain the habit of having dinner together. They all say that it feels like home.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Fatty Luo. Fatty Luo nodded his round head and said:
"It seems that my father has not found the wrong person. Master Liu's craftsmanship is a perfect match with this top-quality ingredients. However, if they are all of this level, just pay the price I mentioned last time, and there will be no problem at all."
.”
"But I always feel it's a bit expensive. After all, it's not a rare fish, and vegetables are also common varieties." Li Youran still seemed a little unsure. After all, the price of 10,000 yuan per table was no joke. If his second uncle knew about this, he would have to do it.
You can't call yourself a black-hearted profiteer.
"Common varieties? It's very simple. Who dares to say that? Let him go to the market and buy it. As long as he can buy it, he will pay ten for each." After having a taste of it, Fatty Luo became even more confident in his private kitchen.
Liu Senjiang also nodded in agreement. Common varieties? Just kidding, these ingredients are the main reason that attracted him, Chef Liu, to stay.
Fatty Luo patted Li Youran on the shoulder with an encouraging smile.
"Of course, just be prepared. In two days, I'll see my fat Zhuge use his clever tricks to get you your first business. By the way, I'll give you a commission."
