Yu Mo has been in the business world for many years and has had many social events. She has eaten at almost all the famous restaurants in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, but Du Shaojie's cooking skills still amaze her.
Du Shaojie was just an ordinary chef in the farm canteen back then, but after just a few years, he has grown to a terrifying height. Although Yu Mo used to call him "Chef Du", it was only now that he recognized the strength of the other chef.
"Shaojie, with your level, you really should open a restaurant yourself. Are you interested in developing in Hong Kong? I can invest in you."
Yu Mo felt very full, put down his chopsticks and looked at Du Shaojie seriously.
"Thank you! However, with my business acumen, wouldn't it be a loss to open a big restaurant? Forget it, I am content with a small fortune and don't have any lofty ideals."
Du Shaojie thanked him and declined Yu Mo's invitation.
He didn't think there was any benefit in going to Hong Kong. The future opportunities are in the mainland, and there is no reason to trap himself in a small place.
Yu Mo smiled and said no more.
After dinner, several people worked together to clean up the mess. A car came to pick up Yu Mo and just sent Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin back to the hotel.
A week later.
In the morning.
Du Shaojie bought the food and came to the store. He wrote a line on the small blackboard: "Today's [soy sauce fried rice] is served."
[The Desolate Char Siu Rice] was sold for a total of 7 days, and the store changed the rice variety.
Du Shaojie has practiced hundreds of dishes recently, and he feels that the opportunity for a breakthrough lies in returning to nature.
The more ordinary dishes and snacks are, the more they test the chef's skills. It is not necessary to specialize in dishes that sound "high-end" to highlight the identity of a chef.
"Meiqin, is the rice done?"
"Yes, it will be ready in a while."
After this period of treatment, Liang Meiqin's vision in both eyes has recovered to 0.4, and she can do what she can.
Du Shaojie prepared some ingredients, including scallops, dried shrimps, celery, onions, carrots, etc., and began to boil soy sauce.
During this process, Liang Meiqin had already made a large pot of rice, and then opened the lid to cool it down.
After the soy sauce was boiled, pour it into a basin, and use it to make [soy sauce fried rice] later.
It was approaching noon.
Customers began to patronize one after another. They looked at the small blackboard and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Soy sauce fried rice? What is Chef Du singing today? Is this thing delicious?"
Some people had doubts. It was not that they didn't believe in Chef Du's craftsmanship, but soy sauce fried rice was too simple. Even if the other party was a chef, could he make it fancy?
At this time, Uncle Chai walked over leisurely, glanced at the small blackboard, and shouted: "Ajie, give me two servings of fried rice."
For Uncle Chai, every meal made by Du Shaojie is worth trying. He has this confidence and will not have any doubts at all.
"Okay!"
Fried rice is delicious only when it is fried fresh. Du Shaojie responded and started to heat the pan to fry the rice.
Add a little oil to the pan, then pour two servings of rice and start frying. After the rice is fried thoroughly, pour a proper amount of soy sauce from the side of the pot, and the aroma will come out all of a sudden.
Put it in the lunch box after taking it out of the pot, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and add two fried eggs on one side, and two servings of fragrant [soy sauce fried rice] are freshly baked.
"Uncle Chai, your fried rice is ready, take care."
Du Shaojie handed two servings of fried rice to Uncle Chai, and Uncle Chai gave the money to Liang Meiqin, and walked home with the lunch box.
Perhaps because the aroma just now was very tempting, several customers ordered 5 servings of fried rice.
5 servings of fried rice is just the amount of one pot. Du Shaojie is still very particular about this aspect, and will never be lazy just to save trouble.
There were two impatient customers who sat in the store and started eating immediately after getting the lunch box. They kept applauding while eating. To be honest, the simple [soy sauce fried rice] has a rich taste, fresh, sweet, salty and fragrant, and it tastes better and better.
At this time, no one hesitated anymore, and they began to line up to pay.
100 servings of [soy sauce fried rice] were sold out very quickly, continuing the legend that Chef Du never fails.
The old diners in this area admired him very much. It was nothing strange to be able to cook big dishes. Who among the chefs in the big restaurants didn't have two brushes? Being able to make simple home-cooked dishes into incomparable deliciousness is real skill.
"My Chef Du, shall we have soy sauce fried rice too?"
Xiaomei didn't come because of something at school today, so Liang Meiqin took over the role of the supporting actor.
It's really no joke. The special soy sauce for fried rice just ran out, and there was no rice left. We couldn't make a new pot, could we?
"That's not easy, let's go out to eat."
Du Shaojie laughed, cleaned up the house inside and outside, and went to a seafood restaurant with Liang Meiqin.
From soy sauce fried rice to fresh seafood, Liang Meiqin couldn't turn the corner all of a sudden. The contrast was too big.
Du Shaojie ordered a lot of things, and after the dishes came, he started to eat like crazy. To be honest, he was also hungry.
"Shaojie, we won't make [soy sauce fried rice] all week, right?"
Liang Meiqin was very careful about her eating manners, but she was no slower than Du Shaojie in finishing her food.
There were shrimps, crabs, conches, oysters, sea fish, etc. on the table, and the dishes were very rich. The two of them had a delicious seafood feast, and then walked back to the hotel.
"I'll make [soy sauce fried rice] again tomorrow, but Uncle Chai will bring a grill tomorrow, so I can also make some grilled squid."
Du Shaojie really just wanted to practice, and didn't expect the small shop to make money.
Is there any faster way to make money than the system reward? The answer is no. Every time he makes a dish that is evaluated as "delicious", the system will reward him with 200 exchange points, which is 20,000 yuan.
For example, the profit of a [Da Pan Ji] specialty store after a month of hard work is about this amount.
Therefore, for Du Shaojie, the top priority now is to complete the task on time and ensure that the reward will not be cut in half. This is more important than anything else. The profit and loss of a small store is nothing and not worth mentioning.
But in fact, it is not so easy for him to lose money. Even if it is only open for half a day, it is profitable.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie counted his gains in these days.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Special Level 3 chef]
[Current works: Desolate Char Siu Rice (×7), Roast Duck (×2), Soy Sauce Fried Rice (×1), Others (×10)]
[Overall evaluation: Leaving a good taste in the mouth]
[Bonus: Simulated Chef Skills Competition Duration (40,000 hours)]
[Reward: Exchange points (4,000 points), Simulated training duration (40,000 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 12,018 points\13,466 points]
[Duration: 106,000 hours\234,996 hours]
High investment brings high returns. Du Shaojie tasted the sweetness, so he spent another 2,000 exchange points and 100,000 hours to upgrade 20 dishes including [Spicy and Sour Potato Shreds] to the level of "Leaving a good taste in the mouth".
His idea is to win by quantity. The more dishes that reach the comprehensive evaluation of "Leaving a good taste in the mouth", the easier it is to break through.
Of course, these dishes that rely on "Krypton Gold" still need practice, and only in practice can they bring him different insights.
[Exchange points: 10018 points\13466 points]
[Duration: 6000 hours\234996 hours]
The next day.
In addition to preparing the ingredients for [Soy Sauce Fried Rice], Du Shaojie also prepared a table of ingredients.
He made fried rice at noon, and invited Uncle Chai and several old diners to the restaurant for dinner in the evening. In addition, he also asked Xiaomei to call Wang Yan, Jiang Xiaoling and Liu Chuhong together. There
were 4 people on Uncle Chai's side, Xiaomei and 4 classmates, plus Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin, exactly 10 people.
Du Shaojie made 10 dishes plus 1 soup, a full table of dishes, each dish was exquisite, making everyone eat very comfortably.
"Ajie, when you leave in a few days, what should we do? Otherwise, I will sell my shop to you, and you come to open a restaurant, how about it?"
Uncle Chai was a little drunk and spoke a little straightforwardly, but the meaning was still clear.
Several other old customers had the same idea and were reluctant to let Du Shaojie go.
Jiang Xiaoling looked up at Du Shaojie. She felt that he was getting more and more handsome. A capable man was pleasing to the eye. She and Uncle Chai and others had different concerns.
"Uncle Chai, forget about your shop. If other people want to sell their shops, you must remember to notify me. Even if I go back, I will rush over as soon as possible."
Du Shaojie was not so obsessed with the storefronts in Yangcheng. The real estate market was still in the process of cultivation, but it would soon make a breakthrough.
By then, there would be more and more storefronts. As long as you have money, you can buy any storefront.
By now, his mentality has completely changed. He does not make money as the first purpose of doing anything, because he is not short of money.
After eating and drinking, Uncle Chai and others said goodbye and left first.
Xiaomei and Jiang Xiaoling helped clean up the inside and outside, and then returned to school.
Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin strolled on the street, walked about two stops, and then took a bus back to the hotel.
At night, he counted the harvest and found a large amount of income. The 10 dishes in the evening plus the [soy sauce fried rice] at noon, a total of 11 dishes received the comprehensive evaluation of "leaving a good taste in the mouth".
This means that he has added 2,200 redemption points, 22,000 hours of competition time, and 22,000 hours of simulation training time.
[Redemption points: 12,218 points\15,666 points]
[Duration: 50,000 hours\234,996 hours]
In a blink of an eye, this week is coming to an end.
In the morning.
Du Shaojie wrote a line on the small blackboard: Today's [soy sauce fried rice] is served, the last day!
Tomorrow is a new week, and it is also the last week he and Liang Meiqin will stay in Yangcheng. After next week, they will return to Xijiang. The plane tickets have been booked in advance, and the date is Wednesday of the next week.
Liang Meiqin carefully wiped the table and stools, and then cleaned the floor.
She has fallen in love with this small shop and is used to the days with Du Shaojie. The relationship between the two can be said to be close, and her eyesight has also improved greatly. Guangzhou is her blessed land.
"Ajie, what new products will be on the market tomorrow?"
Uncle Chai and the old diners asked this question the most today.
They already knew Du Shaojie's habits very well, and knew that there would be a change of style tomorrow, so they were all asking what delicious food would be. (End of this chapter)
