Chapter 377 Fast Food Restaurant

Wen Zhenyi originally planned to do it in the form of a buffet, but he thought the effect would not be very good, as people's lives have not yet reached that standard. However, the fast food format would be much better.

There are many coolies, sailors and merchants on the dock. Some of them bring their own food from home, but it is already cold by the time it reaches their mouths.

If there are cheap and hot meals, they should consider choosing hot meals.

"You can ask Master Cheng for his opinion."

Cheng Lesheng nodded. He had never come across such a store before, and he was really undecided: "I'll go ask."

After Wen Zhenyi and the others left, he picked up a notebook and wrote down some home-cooked dishes on it. This was the fast food restaurant's recipe.

Compared to restaurants, fast food restaurants’ menus are more approachable, but not monotonous.

Cheng Lesheng didn't know what he talked about with Mr. Cheng, but in the end they both agreed to give it a try and also let Qian Tu learn the craft.

"Have you passed the basic skills test for Qian Tu?"

"Chef Zhang said he's fine now, otherwise he wouldn't have let him learn from you."

"Aren't you afraid that he will learn to run away on his own?"

"Then I can only look for you, since you are related." Cheng Lesheng shrugged after saying that.

Wen Zhenyi felt a headache: "Okay."

Time passed quickly. After the Little New Year, all the people who had signed the franchise agreement came to Xinglin Village one after another.

Learning these things cannot be completed in a day or two, so Wen Zhenyi rented a house from the villagers and settled them in the village.

For the things that have been classified now, I gave them a general introduction to their situation one by one.

For those who don’t have that much money nowadays, Wen Zhenyi recommends the method of a braised meat shop. The cost is relatively low, but the profit will not be low.

In addition, the two of them are not in the same town, so it will not affect each other's business.

They all accepted it happily.

Wen Zhenyi left them to Aunt Qin to teach, and only let them go back after making sure that the food they made tasted the same.

The others were still hesitating, and Wen Zhenyi didn't urge them, letting them think it over first.

A few days later, Wen Zhenyi and his friends finally received the letter from Wen Yongnan and his friends.

They had arrived in the capital safely, and Coco had given birth to a group of cute little minks, which kept them very busy during those days.

Unfortunately, one of the mink was weak when it was born and died not long after.

Only after seeing the letter did Ma Yinghe and the others feel completely relieved.

Shen Xiucai looked at Shen Hanxing's letter and a smile appeared on his face: "They should be taking part in the Spring Examination soon."

"Grandpa Shen, is it over after participating in the Spring Examination?"

"Not yet. This time, three hundred candidates will be selected as Gongshi (Gongshi) and will then take part in the final palace examination. The first place in the palace examination will be awarded the title of Jinshi (Jinshi), the second place will be awarded the title of Tongjinshi (Jinshi), and the third place will be awarded the title of Tongjinshi. The top three candidates in the first place are the top three, namely the top scholar, the second place, and the third place, collectively known as the Sandingjia (Three Dingjia)."

"Are there no titles for the second and third class?"

"The first place in the second class is called Chuanlu."

"Can all these people become officials?"

"That's hard to say. Logically, anyone in the top three can become an official, but there are also those who never become officials."

"This person is so unlucky!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. With so many people taking the imperial examinations, and so few official positions available, there will always be people who miss out."

"According to the time, Brother Shen and the others should have already entered the examination room."

"It's time to enter the examination room."

“Grandpa Shen, will you be worried?”

Scholar Shen smiled and shook his head: "I am relieved that he can pass the exam. As for the rest, I will let fate take its course. As long as he is safe, that's enough."

The remaining few people finally decided what to do. They all chose relatively simple shops, such as restaurants, although the menus were tempting.

But they also know that they don’t have the ability to learn it in a short period of time, so it’s better for them to learn something simple first and then consider other things after they have made progress.

As for Qian Tu, he is now learning how to make breakfast from Zhu Tao.

Although Qian Tu is young, he has a high level of understanding.

After Zhu Tao taught him once, he could remember most of it, and after practicing it two more times, he was able to master the techniques.

Today, Wen Zhenyi taught him how to cook: "Qian Tu, what do you plan to do in the future?"

Qian Tu was slightly stunned: "I haven't thought about it, I just want to do a good job to repay my boss."

"Have you ever thought about leaving?"

"Leaving for what?"

"Once you learn it, wouldn't it be nice to leave and open your own shop?"

"Why should I leave? The boss has been kind to me. I'm not the kind of person who would be ungrateful."

Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Remember what you said today, otherwise your boss will cause trouble for me. If he causes trouble for me, I will have to cause trouble for you."

"Sister Wen, I'm not an ungrateful person." Qian Tu never thought of betraying anyone from the bottom of his heart. Whether it was Cheng Lesheng or Wen Zhenyi, these two people had done him a great favor.

Wen Zhenyi said nothing more and began to teach Qian Tu how to cook: "No, never."

Qian Tu didn't expect that Wen Zhenyi would be even stricter than Chef Zhang. Any small mistake would make him do it all over again.

Now he felt pressure he had never felt before, and he suddenly understood why Chef Zhang was sweating profusely when facing her.

It is not easy to pass the Wen Zhenyi level. If you don’t do it well, you will have to start over. Everyone who comes here to learn the craft understands this.

Even if they have passed the test of Lady Qin and Zhu Tao, if they fail with Wen Zhenyi, she will still make them start over.

Some of them thought that this was enough, but Wen Zhenyi directly threw the franchise contract to them, asking them to either meet her requirements or tear up the contract and leave.

Although they sometimes really wanted to tear up the contract and leave, they finally endured it.

After they passed Wen Zhenyi's test and ate the food they made, they realized that their strictness was not without reason.

Two months is not a long time, but it is not a short time either, but it tortured these people badly.

Qian Tu has already mastered some cooking skills and techniques, and Wen Zhenyi has taught him all of them. He left the rest to his own devices.

Wen Zhenyi wrote down recipes for some dishes that he had not had time to teach him, and asked him to take them to the provincial capital to study them slowly. After all, the distance from here to the provincial capital was not short.

"Go back to the county town to see your sister and Xiuxiu. You don't know when you'll see them again after leaving now."

Qian Tu took out a bag and handed it to her: "Sister Wen, this is the salary I saved this year. It's not enough to pay for the house you bought. I will give you the rest when I save more money in the future."

Wen Zhenyi took the purse, wrote him a new IOU, and asked him to sign it.

Qian Tu hesitated as he left: "Can I trouble you with something else?"
