Jiang Tuantuan, a business magnate from the 21st century, transmigrated with her entire family. At the start, she was pregnant, the family home was bare, her father had a broken leg, her younger br...
The three people in front were stunned. Could what they cooked be so delicious? It was just a home-cooked dish. They often cooked it at home, and their family members didn’t show such expressions.
For a moment, the man and the woman were confused.
After swallowing the last bite, Jiang Tuantuan said, "I've decided. It's just the three of you."
The three of them cheered happily. They really didn't expect that they would be chosen, because they saw that the beef noodles and steamed pork with rice flour made by the people before them were eliminated, and their own dishes were even worse. They felt that they would be thankful if their food could be eaten, but they didn't expect to be chosen.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Have you two been cooking for many years?"
The woman said, "In the past, my family had many children and was poor, so I was the one who cooked. I made some homely dishes. I am grateful to the boss for liking me."
In order to supplement the family income, she went out to look for work and found many jobs, but when people saw that she was a woman, they simply rejected her. So she was very grateful that she was chosen.
The man said, "I don't cook much, but my family was poor before. Every time we bought a piece of meat, there wasn't enough to share. Later, I invented meat sauce. Now we can fill a big pot so that everyone can eat it. I also like it very much. It's delicious when mixed with rice, noodles, or with bread."
He said, "I also figured out how to eat this wild vegetable. There was a famine a few years ago, and there was no food left, let alone vegetables. So everyone went out to dig up wild vegetables to eat. After eating so much, I figured out how to cook them. Among them, mixing them cold is the most delicious. Now I still occasionally go out to eat some wild vegetables."
Jiang Tuantuan nodded in satisfaction, but at the same time felt a little sad. Alas, they were all from poor families, but Jiang Tuantuan liked their qualities very much, that is, they were honest, simple, willing to tell the truth, and very obedient, which was what she wanted most.
She said, "Our restaurant's main attraction is low prices and large portions. The food must also be delicious, so you meet my requirements. The monthly salary for each person is one ounce, five hundred coins."
After saying that, he glanced at the little boy and said, "Including you."
The little boy didn't expect that he actually had monthly silver, and he thanked her repeatedly.
But he was also very confused as to why he was chosen, considering his cooking skills were so poor.
Jiang Tuantuan also knew his doubts, so he answered: "Besides the cook, the restaurant also needs the front servants. You are responsible for taking orders, serving food, and clearing the tables and chairs. Do you understand?"
The little boy suddenly realized, "I will definitely do this well."
Now that everyone has been successfully selected, the next step is to decide on the final menu. We can’t just sell cakes, wild vegetables and meat sauce.
Jiang Tuantuan planned to consult the opinions of the three of them and choose a few dishes, but no one spoke, as if they were timid and did not dare to speak.
"Hey, you guys feel free to speak your mind. I want to hear your opinions. Don't worry."
Finally, the little boy spoke first, "Boss, I think making an egg custard soup would be great."
Jiang Tuantuan thought about it and realized that it was true. After eating the cake, you have to drink something. "Then let's order egg soup. What about you two? Do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Tuantuan looked at the man and the woman.
The woman said, "My child used to like spicy food. Let's make a spicy dish. I'm pretty good at it."
When Jiang Tuantuan mentioned spicy food, he immediately thought of spicy chicken. Besides, he already had chickens on his own farm, so he didn't need to buy them from outside, which saved him a lot of money. "Okay, then I'll make a spicy dish. I'll choose spicy chicken. It's really appetizing when eaten with rice."
After everyone talked for a few minutes, the tense atmosphere finally eased, and the three of them dared to express their opinions freely. The sun had set, and the menu was finally decided.
Tomorrow I will buy the raw materials and make it first to see how it tastes. If there is no problem, it will be finalized.
Of course, Rou'er was called over to taste it again.
According to the menu decided yesterday, the woman and the man began to busy themselves in the kitchen. Because the dishes were relatively simple, they were quickly prepared. Rouer tasted them carefully, taking several bites of each dish to see if the salt was evenly added and if there was anything missing in the taste.
Jiang Tuantuan also went to eat, but she could only tell whether the food was delicious or just average. If you asked her to point out what was wrong, she really couldn't say.
After Rou'er finished eating everything, she closed her eyes and began to think quietly. No one dared to disturb her, and Jiang Tuantuan didn't dare to breathe.
Half a minute later, Rouer began to comment. First of all, this cold wild vegetable dish lacked a bit of sourness. It would be perfect if it could be marinated for a little longer. It would be better to cook the wild vegetables before opening the store, put them in a basin and marinate them, and wait until people come to eat at noon to serve them out, so the dishes can be served quickly.
Then there is the spicy chicken. The heat was a little low when frying the peppers, so the peppers were not crispy enough. Also, because they were fried for a long time, they were too soft and the taste was not very good, but the chicken was cooked well.
Then Rou'er talked for an hour, and the woman and the man benefited a lot. It was as if the skylight was opened and they immediately had an epiphany.
Then I went back to the kitchen and prepared to do it again, hoping to satisfy my boss this time.
When the little boy saw the two of them went to the kitchen, he took a linen cloth and started to clean the table. He was very diligent, which was very good. Jiang Tuantuan also liked this point.
After waiting for another hour, everything was finally ready and served on the table. Jiang Tuantuan and Rou'er tasted it again. This time the taste was better than last time, but Jiang Tuantuan still couldn't tell what was so good about it, but it was good anyway.
Rou'er also praised: "Not bad, just do it this way, and you will definitely have a lot of customers."
Everyone laughed happily.
Jiang Tuantuan directly invited the three of them to sit down and eat together, "Why are you standing? Go get a stool and sit down to eat together. There are so many dishes, and we can't finish them all by the two of us."
The woman said hesitantly, "We are servants. This is not appropriate."
"Oh, what's the point of being a servant? Now that the work is over, we are friends. Besides, it would be a waste if we don't finish these."
The man said, "Let's sit down then."
The three of them moved a bench and sat down to eat together. While eating, they all thought to themselves that they were really great and the food they cooked was so delicious.
As he ate, the little boy's eyes became moist and he said with trembling lips, "Thank you, boss. I, I will do my best to work in the future."
Jiang Tuantuan was stunned for two seconds, then said gently, "Okay, you all need to work hard. If you do well, I'll give you a raise in the future."
Everyone said in unison with high morale: "Okay!"
The official store opening is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and we need to purchase some raw materials tomorrow.
