Chapter 51 Food Tasting



Li Yaolin looked at the three robots in front of him, which were 1.2 meters tall and shaped like customer service robots in the bank lobby. He couldn't help but tap the APP: "What is this?"

The little mermaid answered on behalf of the system: "Island owner, this is the latest multifunctional robot developed by the Poseidon Island Talent Market. According to different models and settings, there are chef robots, kitchen helper robots and health and safety assessment and supervision robots."

Li Yaolin: "..."

Your system is also high-tech?

Oh, the existence of the system does look like a product of the high-tech plane, but it seems to be somewhat incompatible with the existence of the mythical system of Poseidon, right?

While thinking wildly, the sentence "The end of science is theology" emerged in Li Yaolin's mind.

She shook off these thoughts, somewhat doubting whether the robot could cook dishes well enough to be awarded the title of top chef.

At this time, the screen of the chef robot lit up, and it said: "The chef robot 'Good Delicious' is at your service. Please choose the ingredients you need to cook!"

A table with no end appeared on the screen. Li Yaolin chose to manually input the 20 kinds of seafood provided by the Poseidon Market. After she submitted it, the screen immediately listed all the cooking methods of these 20 kinds of seafood in the eight major cuisines.

Li Yaolin chose a dish of garlic oysters, and asked to make three servings. The robot reminded: "The following ingredients are missing, please add them!"

This reminder said that everything was missing except oysters. Li Yaolin simply took them to the mobile cabin where the cooking aunt usually cooked.

After scanning and finding all the ingredients and sauces, the cooking robot immediately extended four robotic arms from both sides of its body, quickly selected the oysters and took them to wash. After washing, it was handed over to the chef, who then chopped the garlic and cut the chili peppers. The whole process was very smooth and fast, unlike ordinary robots that take a long time to react from receiving instructions to execution.

The chef robot put the washed oysters into the steamer and began to cook them according to the steps.

During this period, it did not wait idly, but after the monitoring robot issued a hygiene alarm, it went to take care of the surrounding hygiene, and it also disinfected itself with the disinfectant it carried with it.

It did not delay its cooking even though it was doing several things at the same time.

Li Yaolin: "..."

It is indeed very professional!

When the first serving of oysters came out of the cage, the chef robot skillfully opened the shell, added the auxiliary ingredients, and completed the last step, and then neatly placed them on the plate for Li Yaolin to eat.

Looking at the plump, colorful, fragrant and delicious oysters, Li Yaolin was so tempted that she put on disposable gloves and swept the oyster meat and garlic into her mouth. When she bit it, the tender oyster meat burst with juice, and her mouth was full of the fresh taste of oysters.

Li Yaolin thought that this might be because the seafood produced by the Poseidon Market was too delicious and could not reflect the chef's cooking skills, so she asked it to make a dish that must be served in Cantonese restaurants, "Stir-fried Beef Noodles".

The chef robot lived up to the trust and fried the beef rice noodles with great fragrance. The heat was also very well controlled. The beef was tender and delicious, and the rice noodles were strong but not greasy. Passing tourists all asked if they could buy a box lunch.

Li Yaolin made the final decision: "Okay, you are hired!"

The three robots cooperated very well and set off fireworks on the display screen.

Li Yaolin called the hotel management team supervisor and related personnel, asked them to eat the remaining dishes, and then asked them for their evaluation.

After the supervisor finished eating, he had an endless aftertaste and looked at the kitchen frequently: "Mr. Li, this chef's cooking skills are good!"

"Anything else? We want to eat more after we finish eating!" The other tasters also said one after another.

"Mr. Li, why don't you introduce the chef to us?" asked the supervisor.

Li Yaolin smiled and asked them to go into the kitchen. They looked around but didn't see anyone inside.

At this time, the supervisor found that something seemed to be moving behind the table. After a while, a robot came out from behind the table and greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Hello everyone, I am the chef robot 'Good Delicious'!"

The other two robots followed: "I am the kitchen robot 'Good Diligent'!"

"I am the food safety and sanitation supervision robot 'Good Safety'!"

Everyone: "?"

Supervisor: "!!!"

Li Yaolin thought their reactions were very interesting and secretly recorded them.

Little Mermaid: "Island Master, your expression at that time was the same as theirs."

Li Yaolin: "..."

As long as I pretended not to hear it, it didn't happen.

"Ahem, come back to your senses!" Li Yaolin reminded everyone.

"Boss Li, did it cook the dishes just now?"

Li Yaolin nodded: "Yes."

People were talking: "Oh my God, robots can cook!"

"Today's robots are very advanced. They can not only chat with you, but also do housework and take care of children. What's cooking?"

The supervisor asked: "Boss Li, after the seafood buffet restaurant opens, will the robots be responsible for cooking?"

"Yes, 'Hao Meiwei' is the head chef, mainly responsible for breakfast. Most people eat hot pot for lunch and dinner, which has higher requirements for ingredients and does not test cooking skills, so let the other two chefs be responsible for it."

The supervisor asked again: "What dishes can it cook?"

Li Yaolin showed her: "It can cook dishes from eight major cuisines. We just need to choose the dishes to be supplied, the quantity and time period, and prepare enough ingredients. It will cook according to the requirements and accurately. I took a quick look and found that it has more than 800 recipes stored here, which is more complete than a certain cooking APP."

The supervisor said: "Our breakfast is still based on clean Light food is the main thing, right? But some tourists from other provinces like heavier flavors, so we should provide some breakfast from other provinces appropriately. Also, Western pastries are easier to fill you up, so we should prepare more Western pastries..."

Li Yaolin learned the pricing lesson of the holiday cabin and said, "Our buffet restaurant follows the Chinese food route, and if you want to eat Western pastries, you can go out to eat. The cost of making Chinese food is a bit high, but we just need to raise the price of the buffet. As long as our food is not bad, there are no safety issues, and there are no problems with the service, then there is no need to worry."

In the past, she was worried about her reputation, afraid that people would say that the price was expensive and not tasty, so she didn't have much confidence in opening a restaurant. Now she has great confidence in herself and the system. As long as the food is delicious and healthy, and the service is in place, then there is no need to worry about being complained about because of the high price.

The supervisor had no objection, so Li Yaolin organized a food tasting event and asked all employees to stay and taste the dishes in order to test the coordination between the robot and the chef, as well as their serving speed.

When the first "dish" was served, the supervisor who was in charge of hosting the food tasting meeting said, "Speaking of breakfast, how can we miss porridge? So we will provide eight kinds of porridge. In addition to white porridge, there will be a different one every day. From Monday to Sunday, they are Eight Treasures Porridge, Salted Bone Porridge, Boat Porridge, Century Egg and Lean Meat Porridge, Lettuce and Fish Slice Porridge, Zhuangyuan Jidi Porridge, and Coconut and Lobster Porridge."

The side dishes are the common sauerkraut, sour beans, shredded radish, dried preserved vegetables, and dried small fish.

Zheng Xuan whispered to Lin Qitong: "This century egg and lean meat porridge is so delicious. This is the first time I think century eggs are delicious!"

Lin Qitong said: "Hey, this Zhuangyuan Jidi porridge is so authentic. You can try it later!"

"Dragon oyster porridge, won't the restaurant go bankrupt if you eat this?"

"What are you afraid of? Just put a lobster in a pot of porridge. As long as it tastes like lobster, it's fine."

"Why don't you drink plain porridge?" someone asked.

"It's a rare opportunity to have a rich breakfast, who wants to eat white porridge?!"

At this time, Manager Qi, who was drinking white porridge, shouted: "This white porridge is absolutely amazing, with dried preserved vegetables, I can drink ten bowls!"

Everyone: "Don't be so exaggerated, I thought you haven't had white porridge in ten years."

After the porridge, the noodles were served. These noodles were neither fried nor boiled, because the noodles that needed to be fried or boiled were cooked on the spot, and the "rice noodles" that were served for customers to take were used for cold mixing. Next to the long and thin rice noodles is the sauce area, with prepared soy sauce, as well as fragrant peanut oil, leek oil, sesame oil, etc.

After finishing the porridge and noodles, almost everyone was full, only a few people smiled and said: "Fortunately we didn't eat too much, we wanted to save some space for more."

In addition to breakfasts such as eggs, scallion pancakes, and shrimp wonton noodles, many of the dishes were Cantonese-style snacks, including steamed dumplings, steamed buns, steamed buns, brown sugar cakes, water chestnut cakes, steamed chicken feet, steamed spareribs, beef balls, glutinous rice chicken, etc. The dishes were very rich.

"We went to the teahouse to order so many things, it would cost several hundred yuan, and I don't know how the buffet restaurant should set the price reasonably."

For example, steamed chicken feet and steamed spareribs, a small basket in the teahouse is generally 25 yuan. If the customer only eats these two and eats about four servings to be full, it will cost 100 yuan. If the restaurant charges a few dozen yuan per person, then the restaurant will definitely lose money.

"That won't happen. We can limit the quantity, for example, give everyone a paper card, and each person can only take one portion, and stamp the card after taking it..."

Everyone talked about it, and Li Yaolin said: "It is definitely limited, but not in this way. We limit the total quantity, not the amount that each person can consume. Take a basket at a time, and take more after finishing. And there are different menus seven days a week, guaranteed to be different."

What's more, the tea snacks in the teahouse are more than 20 yuan per portion, but the cost is not that much! On the contrary, diners will feel that they can get their money's worth by eating this way, and believe from the bottom of their hearts that the price is well worth it...

"Indeed, this is the case in most buffet restaurants. If each person is limited to one portion, it is not called a buffet restaurant."

...

In addition to these snacks, there is also the most famous local mustard greens, which are crispy and refreshing. At first, they taste slightly bitter, but not astringent. After tasting them carefully, you will find that they are sweet.

The supplier of mustard greens was introduced by fisherman Lao Li. That day, Li Yaolin was collecting seafood from fishermen. Lao Li saw the notice and came over to ask: "I see that you seem to be building a restaurant. Will we have food to eat in the future?"

Li Yaolin smiled and said, "Yes, breakfast, lunch and dinner."

She asked casually, "Let me do a small survey. What kind of vegetables do you like to eat?"

Lao Li mentioned many dishes, but he emphasized "Boiled mustard greens". He said, "The mustard greens in Biwan New District are very good. It is famous all over the country. Many tourists from Shenzhen would buy dozens of kilograms of mustard greens to take back home after eating here!

Another fisherman also joined the discussion: "Mustard greens are not easy to choose. Those who don't know the business will easily pick bitter and old mustard greens."

Lao Li said: "I know a mustard greens grower. His mustard greens are really delicious. I often buy from him!"

Li Yaolin asked him for his contact information and asked Manager Song from the Logistics Department to be responsible for purchasing.

Facts have proved that Lao Li was right in his introduction. The mustard greens here are really delicious.

The dishes for lunch and dinner are similar, with more than 20 kinds of seafood and more than 20 common ingredients, which can be combined to make nearly 100 dishes.

After trying the food, all the employees had bloated stomachs and needed to take digestive medicine to walk.

Lin Qitong cried.

Li Yaolin thought her reaction was exaggerated: "Is it really that delicious?"

Lin Qitong said: "It is delicious, but I didn't cry because it was delicious, but because my stomach hurt."

"Then why don't you eat less?"

"It's not that I want to eat seafood, but the taste of seafood is too good! Whether it is cooked by the chef or we make it in hot pot, the taste of seafood itself will not change due to different cooking methods, which makes people can't help but eat it again!"

Li Yaolin: "..."

It was her fault. She shouldn't have let them try so much seafood at once.

——After

confirming the dishes, it's time to set the price.

The finance department calculated the cost based on the quantity of supply, combined with the tourist capacity, tourist groups, consumption level, etc., and gave a price of 88 yuan per person for breakfast, half price for children under 12 years old, and free for infants aged 0-3 years old. The supply time is from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning.

Lunch and dinner are both 318 yuan per person, - the price will be increased after more seafood is unlocked. - Children are half price, and infants aged 0-3 years old are free. Lunch is served from 11:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon, and dinner is from 4:00 in the afternoon to 7:00 in the evening.

Breakfast is more for tourists who stay overnight on Xingzhou Island, because the earliest boat to the island is at 8:30, and they cannot catch up with breakfast.

Since there are only 30 holiday cabins, including 8 standard rooms, 8 twin rooms, 3 family rooms, 6 deluxe business rooms, and 4 single-story cabins, they can only accommodate about 70 tourists. Including camping sites, it is estimated that the number of tourists who will stay overnight will only account for 20% of the total number of tourists.

In other words, there is no need to prepare too much breakfast.

The portions of lunch and dinner should be larger. According to the time tourists have stayed on the island in the past, at least one-third of tourists will stay on the island for lunch.

This data is based on the fact that many tourists do not want to eat oden and are forced to leave for lunch. If lunch is provided on the island, the number of tourists who stay for lunch will double.

After the chefs and waiters were in place, Li Yaolin asked the operations department to release the news that the seafood buffet restaurant would be open for reservations at the end of the month along with the holiday cabins and camping areas, and quietly opened the reservation channel on the official website.

She originally thought that no one would read the official website, so she took this opportunity to have someone debug the reservation function of the official account again. As a result, the holiday cabins were fully booked only one hour after the function was launched.

There were also tourists leaving messages in the comment area:

Why is the reservation permission only open for the evening of September 26? I want to stay until the end of the world! (Very loud .Jpg)

Damn it, I want to go there during the National Day, but I’m afraid I can’t book it! Why are there so few cabins?

I want to know what the camping area is like... No matter what, I’ll book it first!

Li Yaolin: “?”

Did you stay on the official website? Why can you have such a fast hand speed?

The author has something to say:

Island owner: It's the hand speed of being single for 30 years!
