Chapter 153: Snacks
In just one day, Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen cleaned the department store cafeteria spotlessly, waiting for Zhao Yi to prepare the ingredients and seasonings for opening.
evening.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing brought the two little ones to the cafeteria.
Tonight, let Zhang Xiang get used to the stove here and taste the cooking of Zhang Xiang.
Not long after, the grain and oil station delivered Zhao Yi's supplies and handed him a list. He was told to take the list to the grain and oil station to pay the money tomorrow. This is how all supply units do now.
First supply the necessary items, make two copies of the order form and have the person in charge sign it, then the comrades from the Finance Department will go to settle the bill themselves.
Even if Zhao Yi is a self-employed person, they are not worried. After all, Zhao Yi is a worker and is used to this way of doing things.
The dishes that Zhang Jing bought were quickly cooked by Zhang Xiang, with Zhao Yi also giving instructions.
"What?"
Zhang Xiang looked at everyone expectantly and asked.
"tasty."
The two little guys immediately said happily.
Only Zhang Jing didn't say anything and nodded slightly.
After dinner, Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen rested in the restaurant. There were two utility rooms in the cafeteria, which were the warehouses of the cafeteria in the past. Now Zhao Yi could not use them, so one was used as a warehouse and the other as a residence.
As for washing up, just come to Zhao Yi's courtyard. It's not far away anyway.
"How can the boss's cooking skills compete with state-owned restaurants for business?"
Zhang Jing said with some concern.
The monthly salary of the two of them was about 50 yuan, plus the canteen rent was 200 yuan a year. Zhang Jing thought it was not going to work. Even if her second brother continued to cook with this skill, all the money he had would not be enough to cover the loss.
“It depends on what you are benchmarking against. If you are benchmarking against state-owned restaurants, then anything delicious needs a ticket, even fried tofu. We need to play to our strengths. Second Brother makes home-cooked meals.
There are few home-cooked dishes that can compare to those made by professional chefs, not to mention that we don’t need tickets for our meat.
You think he is not good enough because you compare him with the chefs in state-owned restaurants and the chef in your garment factory canteen.
Do you think the food your second brother cooks is better than the one you cook? ”
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
Although Zhao Yi is the one who cooks at home and Zhang Jing rarely cooks, she is not to the point where she doesn't know how to cook.
Few children who grew up in the countryside can't cook. Children of Zhao Peng and Zhao Xuanxuan's age have already started helping their families cook.
Zhang Jing was speechless after hearing what Zhao Yi said.
Compared to home-cooked meals, it's pretty good.
“Besides, my second brother has never touched this kind of stove and pot before, so he will definitely not be proficient at it for the first time. I will teach him for a few days, and he will get used to it slowly, although he will never be able to compare with those chefs.
But we are not competing with others in taste. ”
Zhao Yi smiled.
As for the chefs who were selected for rating, even if they were at the lowest level eight, it would take you one or two years of hard work to develop such good knife skills.
Those people are really good at what they do.
early morning.
After breakfast, Zhang Jing sent the two little ones to school, while Zhao Yi went to work at the repair shop. He would take an hour off later to settle the bill at the grain and oil station.
As for the restaurant, we are preparing for its opening after Zhao Laowu and Liu Qi arrive.
Zhao Yi just opened the door of the repair shop.
A group of people squeezed in and asked Zhao Yi about the restaurant.
"Xiao Zhao, tell me what the main dish is."
"Yes, Xiao Zhao, are you the one who will cook? If you are the one who cooks, I will definitely go to show my support."
Everyone talked at once.
"Today at noon, we have some snacks to go with alcohol. It's the first day of trying it, so I'll charge everyone the cost price. Those who don't like alcohol don't have to try it. I haven't prepared any other dishes."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"You little brat, I'm just thinking about your drunk colleagues. We have to go and show our support on the opening day."
A group of lesbians laughed and cursed.
The colleagues in the security department who loved drinking and the warehouse keeper all had smiles on their faces.
Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen went to the vegetable market early in the morning and bought more than ten kilograms of pig skin and cow skin.
The current price of beef is not as high as that of pork, but beef is in short supply, generally priced at 76 cents, while pork is 79 cents.
Pigskin and cowhide are even cheaper.
The two bought the pig skin and cow skin and took them back to the restaurant to prepare them. They first added spices and boiled them for half an hour, then cut them into strips and served them cold after they cooled down. They prepared more than ten servings according to the method Zhao Yi said.
The winery also came to the restaurant. Zhao Yi's restaurant also has a fixed quota. It does not require wine tickets, and the quota is more than 20 kilograms per month.
noon.
Zhao Yi got off work half an hour early, went to the grain and oil station to pay the bill, and then walked back to the restaurant.
At this time, there were already several tables of people sitting in the restaurant, all of them were the group of drunkards from the department store and their friends. They all wanted to try what the side dishes Zhao Yi mentioned tasted like and whether they were worth coming back in the future.
"Brother Yi, this dish is good. Will it be available for a long time in the future?"
Several colleagues from the security department saw Zhao Yi and asked with a smile.
"As long as we provide long-term supply and everyone feels good about it, that's fine."
Zhao Yi nodded and smiled.
"It's really good, but it's missing a main course, so it's not suitable for a banquet."
Section Chief Wang laughed.
"The main course will be available soon, and I'll give you all a discount then."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
Pork skin, which costs eight cents a pound, is made into a cold dish. A plate of pork skin costs seven ounces and thirty cents (today it is half price, only fifteen cents). Everyone thinks it is worth it and the taste is indeed good. I just don't know what the main dish will be in the future and whether tickets are required.
Nowadays, there is no charge for snacks.
After tasting the snacks, everyone thought they were delicious.
Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen were also very happy at this time, at least they were recognized by the customers.
There weren't many people in the evening.
Without Zhao Yi's instructions, they didn't prepare anything. They just cleaned the restaurant and washed up to rest.
It's just getting dark.
Liu Qi and Zhao Laowu rushed to Zhao Yi's house, both of them bringing their wives with them.
The two men carried a lot of prey, their wives carried wooden buckets, one carried fish and the other carried loaches.
"Our market price is 25 cents per pound for fish and 10 cents per pound for loach. Lao Wu, do you think this price is appropriate?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Laowu and asked, actually he was also asking Liu Qi.
"Okay, Brother Yi."
Everyone had smiles on their faces. Twenty-five cents was the price for fish in the county town, but that was for buying. As for loaches, they were everywhere in the fields in the village, and they were very happy if they could sell them for five cents. They didn't expect Zhao Yi to give them ten cents per pound, which was much more expensive than grain.
If Zhao Yi asked anyone in the village for help, that person would be able to help him get the job done.
The two women finally understood why every time Zhao Yi returned to the village, they took care of him more enthusiastically than their own parents did.
"The prey remains the same."
Zhao Yi started to weigh himself as he spoke.
The weighing was completed soon. The prey the two men brought this time included venison and wild boar meat, each weighing more than 60 kilograms. Now that the weather is still relatively cold, the meat can probably be preserved for seven or eight days.
It will definitely go bad after a long time.
As for the eight fish, they weighed more than 40 kilograms, and the loaches also weighed more than 40 kilograms.
After receiving the money, the two families happily calculated the profits and divided them equally.
