"Hmm—" Xu An pondered for a moment before asking, "If I only asked you to be a braised food chef, would you be able to accept that?"
Zhang Dezhen's expression stiffened, and he asked somewhat cautiously, "Then how will the salary and benefits be calculated?"
"Two thousand three hundred a month, lunch included, working hours are the same as everyone else, from six in the morning to two in the afternoon."
"Hey! It's working!"
Xu An suddenly felt a chill down his back. He turned around and saw Xu Kang and Xu Le staring at him resentfully, their faces full of 'happiness'.
Seeing that Xu An had finally noticed them, the two of them pouted, closed their eyes, and began to unleash their ultimate move—all bark and no bite!
"Waaaaah! My brother's so mean! He's eating all the good food and not letting us have any!"
"Wow! I want to eat delicious food too! I want to eat! I want to eat! I want to eat!"
Xu An looked to Zhang Dezhen for help, and Zhang Dezhen immediately turned around and went into the kitchen. A moment later, he came out with a small plate of braised food, and thoughtfully stuck toothpicks in it, and handed it to Grandma Xu.
The two little ones immediately stopped fussing and happily started eating the braised food, their eyes squinting into little crescent moons.
Zhang Dezhen didn't prepare much braised food for Xu Kang and Xu Le. Since Grandma Xu also ate a few pieces, the two little ones only had a taste and didn't eat much.
Such a capable employee, with such excellent skills in making braised dishes, we absolutely have to hire them!
After finalizing the braised dishes for tomorrow with Zhang Dezhen, Xu An glanced at the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I still need to prepare the contract. Let's sign it when I come over tomorrow morning."
Zhang Dezhen had no objection to signing the contract tomorrow. The hotel where he worked before only signed a contract and received wages after a seven-day trial period, during which he did not receive a penny of wages.
For Xu An to be able to sign a contract and calculate salary tomorrow is already quite excellent.
After Zhang Dezhen left, only Xu An and his family of four remained in the shop.
Xu An went behind the cashier, turned on the kitchen surveillance camera, and tuned to the time when Zhang Dezhen was making braised food.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't about stealing Zhang Dezhen's braised food recipe, it's just to confirm one thing.
Xu An had seen many such stalls in later generations, and found that half of the so-called family-secret recipes for braised food contained poppy shells.
He believes some braised food stalls really do have family-secret recipes, but he doesn't dare to gamble.
Our business has worked so hard to get started and has reached this scale; we can't let it fail because of this.
After watching Zhang Dezhen's cooking process frame by frame and confirming that there were no unidentified objects belonging to the store in the entire video, Xu An finally felt relieved.
Since there are no problems, we'll sign the contract with Zhang Dezhen first thing tomorrow morning!
Xu An then turned off the video recording, opened the ordering website's backend, and added a braised food category.
Potatoes are a must, seaweed is also necessary, and lotus root and tofu skin go without saying, add those too!
With so many vegetarian dishes, we still need something meaty. Eggs take a long time to absorb flavor, so let's have some quail eggs...
...
After adding more than ten kinds of braised ingredients, Xu An finally stopped, satisfied.
He would never admit that he wanted to eat it!
Finally, there's the pricing aspect. Braised food is never cheap, but Xu's Fast Food Restaurant focuses on good quality at low prices, so a profit margin of two or three times is fine.
Potatoes that sell for one yuan per kilogram on the market and three mao per kilogram in greenhouses, after adding expenses such as rent, utilities, labor, and seasonings, shouldn't be sold for five yuan per kilogram!
praise!
After editing all the prices, Xu An clicked upload, and the new menu appeared on the webpage.
Duan Yuwen, who had just entered the menu to order, suddenly noticed a new row of braised dishes. Unlike the other dishes, these braised dishes only had a menu without pictures.
Each braised dish has a description, and at the end of each description is a sentence: "The boss highly recommends it; it's extremely delicious!"
The price isn't high, and the owner highly recommended it, so I'll try half a pound of potatoes and lotus root!
In the blink of an eye, three orders for braised food boxed meals appeared in the back-end system.
