Chapter 27: Cooperation method, no need to discuss? 【Seeking follow-up reading】
"What's wrong with you, young lady? Why did you bring outsiders to the important kitchen? And you brought them here in person?"
"I heard this is a famous chef who came here to taste test the food!"
"Really? I don't think you're that great!"
The employees of Jufu Restaurant were pointing and talking in low voices.
Wei Han ignored them and scanned the entire kitchen.
This kitchen is very spacious, but it only has eight stoves and a few chopping boards. The rest of the space is tidy and looks clean and hygienic.
"Mr. Qiao, how would you like to try it?" Xu Youran asked softly, "I've already given instructions. How about everyone in the kitchen cooperate with you today?"
"No need to bother!"
Wei Han waved his hand indifferently.
Without asking anyone for help, he put on an apron.
Then he raised his hand and picked out the ingredients from the box, and soon he started to get busy.
His purpose today was very simple, which was to try out his skills and let Xu Youran confirm his abilities before discussing the next steps of cooperation.
Therefore, it is necessary to show your abilities!
Wei Han first chopped up half of a lamb skeleton, blanched it, put it in a pot, added eighteen kinds of warming and nourishing herbs, and carefully cooked a pot of medicinal food.
His movements were swift and smooth, as beautiful as art, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Then he took the time to use the big pot next to him and stir-fried three side dishes.
They are a braised fish, a stir-fried chicken, and a spicy pork steak!
These are just low-class home-cooked dishes on Blue Star, but with the blessing of Wei Han's culinary skills, they appear to be delicious and fragrant.
The amazing aroma wafted out, and everyone inside and outside the kitchen couldn't help swallowing wildly.
The expressions of everyone looking at the three dishes were as green as those of beggars who had been hungry for half a year.
The expressions of the chefs in particular were extremely varied. They were all shocked, as if they had seen a ghost. They obviously couldn't understand why the dishes he cooked were so delicious.
"Manager Xu, the medicinal food still needs to be stewed for a while. Please try these three inferior side dishes first, please!" Wei Han waved his hand with a smile.
“Smells so good!”
Xu Youran didn't care about being reserved.
She gracefully picked up a piece of fish and tasted it.
In an instant, he seemed to be struck by lightning. Not only did his eyes widen, but he couldn't help but chew it a few more times without caring about his image.
"Try something else!" Wei Han reminded.
"good!"
Xu Youran tried a few more bites solemnly.
After picking up food with chopsticks for more than ten times in a row, she finally realized that she had lost her composure.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, these dishes are so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious dishes. Not only are they incomparable to any restaurant in Qingshan County, even in the county town, I have never seen any restaurant with better dishes than these. They are amazing!" Xu Youran blushed and exclaimed with shining eyes.
“Is it really that amazing?”
"I don't know, but it smells really good!"
“I really want to try it!”
The people around were talking in low voices.
"You guys try it too!" Xu Youran put down her chopsticks and said to Wei Han, "Mr. Qiao, how about we talk in a private room?"
"good!"
Wei Han nodded and agreed.
The two returned to the private room they had been in before.
Also brought along was a simple version of the medicinal meal that had already been cooked.
"Mr. Qiao!" As soon as he sat down, Xu Youran couldn't help but try to win him over: "I sincerely invite you to become the head chef of our Jufu Restaurant. As long as you agree, the price and everything else can be negotiated, and you will be in charge of the restaurant's kitchen in the future. How do you think?"
"Actually!" Wei Han shook his head decisively and said, "I'm not interested in being a chef. I cook delicious food just because I like it."
"this?"
Xu Youran was speechless.
The maid with a sword beside her was so angry that her eyes widened and she said, "If you have no interest in being a cook, why did you come to the restaurant to taste the dishes? Are you trying to play a trick on us?"
"Of course not!" Wei Han tapped the table with his fingers and said seriously: "I never said I was here to apply for the job of chef. I said I wanted to discuss cooperation. I'll tell you a way of cooperation. If you can accept it, then accept it. If not, then just pretend that what happened today never happened."
"Please speak, sir!" Xu Youran gestured softly.
"Yes!" Wei Han nodded and said, "The way of cooperation is very simple. From now on, I will arrive at the store at 1:00 a.m. every morning and leave at 7:00 p.m. I will only stay for one hour a day and will be responsible for cooking the medicinal food myself."
"I will also teach the chefs in the restaurant how to improve their cooking skills when I have time, and teach them a few specialties. I guarantee that the restaurant's business will be ten or a hundred times more popular."
"And my request is very simple. I only want 20% of the total monthly book revenue of Jufu Restaurant. Remember! It's the total book revenue. I don't care about the cost or anything else. I only want 20% of the total revenue!"
Xu Youran and the maid Xiaolu looked at each other.
Both women looked a little strange and didn't say anything for a long time.
What kind of weird cooperation method is this?
He only comes for an hour in the early morning every day, and then asks for 20% of the restaurant's total revenue? Is there any money in the world that is so easy to make?
There are many restaurants in Qingshan County, and the competition among them is also fierce.
After deducting various costs and food loss, the profit should be only about 40% to 50%.
Wei Han asked for 20% of the total revenue right away. In fact, he made more money than his boss, and he didn't need to invest any money at all.
"Sir, can we discuss this mode of cooperation?" Xu Youran frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
"No need to talk about it. If you want to agree, then agree. If you don't want to agree, I will find another restaurant to cooperate with. That's all." Wei Han said without question: "Of course, I can also give Manager Xu two guarantees. First, your restaurant's business will be very popular in the county after I take over, and you will make a lot of money every day! If it's not popular, you can just kick me out."
"Second, you can send apprentices to learn from me. I will never hide anything. If you ever think someone can replace me, we can cancel our cooperation at any time!"
"That's it. Think about it for yourself. Oh, and remember to try this medicinal meal. It will give you a surprise. I'll come over tomorrow morning, and you can tell me the answer then."
After saying that, Wei Han stood up and left!
After Xu Youran saw him off again and again, she sat back in her seat with a sense of loss.
"What a strange person." Xu Youran muttered with a wry smile: "Lu'er, what kind of person do you think this Mr. Qiao Feng is?"
"I don't know, but he is not very old, younger than me." Lu'er answered seriously.
"How could that be?" Xu Youran exclaimed, "At his age, he must be at least 30 or 40, right?"
"No, miss." Lu'er smiled and said, "You know I have had a different nose since I was a child. Although his disguise skills are amazing and his figure, demeanor, and smell are flawless, I can smell a different vitality from ordinary people."
"Energetic?" Xu Youran was surprised.
"That's right!" Lu'er thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has a smell. A baby has a nice milky smell, and an old person has a rotten smell. His smell is very, very special. In short, he must be young."
"What an interesting guy." Xu Youran chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.
"Miss, isn't his way of cooperation too much? Do you want to agree?" Lu'er asked curiously.
Xu Youran did not answer immediately, but scooped up a bowl of medicinal food.
As he tasted the food silently, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered some incredible treasure.
It’s already 2023 before we know it. I hope every friend I see has a happy and healthy family and everything goes well. Thank you!
