Chapter 711: Silky Tofu

“Let’s take a look at the sales situation of the buffet lunch first. If the business is as hot as these two days for ten consecutive days and the number of people does not decrease much, we will recruit two more cooks to be responsible for the buffet lunch. "

Anyway, the restaurant's kitchen area is large enough, and it won't feel crowded at all if there are two more chefs.

"I know, sister-in-law, I will observe more in the next few days, and then calculate the net profit. If the net profit reaches our expectations, then I will let go."

Xu Wanning nodded: "Well, I leave all the power to you. I'm completely relieved."

Hearing this, Dongzi smiled innocently.

After laughing, he said again: "By the way, sister-in-law, when will we start selling hot pot? Many people have come to me to inquire, but you haven't come to the restaurant these days." "

You can do it today." Xu Wanning said proudly. Yang was holding the bag in his hand, "I have brought the hot pot base ingredients here. When the peak meal period is over, I will teach Chef Zhang and Chef Yang how to stir-fry ingredients and cook hot pot."

"Okay! "Dongzi agreed happily.

Half an hour later, the guests left one after another, and the restaurant was suddenly empty.

Xu Wanning asked Dongzi to gather all the people in the backyard.

"I will only leave the stir-frying methods to Chef Zhang and Chef Yang. In addition, Xuehua, please find a few quick hands and feet to learn the cooking time of each dish."

Xuehua, as the waiter's foreman, Xu Wanning I am willing to give her some authority on such small things so that she can better manage the waiters.

"Little boss, how many people do you want?"

"Five or six, maybe."

Xuehua chose three from the earliest batch of waiters, and two from the new ones. Plus her, there were six in total.

Xu Wanning took out the hot pot base ingredients that had been prepared in advance.

"There are three kinds of hot pot bases, namely butter spicy pot, tomato pot and mushroom soup pot. I asked Manager Su to specially customize the Yuanyang pot and Zimu pot, so that customers can choose their favorite pot base."

Yuanyang pot is used Cook tomatoes and butter in a spicy pot, and use the mother-in-law pot to cook butter and spicy pot and mushroom soup pot.

"As for the spicy hot pot, it is also divided into three spiciness levels: mild, medium and extra spicy. Customers can also choose by themselves. I make all the hot pot bases myself, and the choice of spiciness depends on the stir-fry ingredients. How much chili pepper should be put in..."

Xu Wanning explained to the two chefs the methods and precautions for stir-frying, while demonstrating.

Within a few seconds, the spicy aroma was completely aroused, and everyone present sniffed hard.

"Although it smells a bit pungent, it's really delicious."

"It's very fragrant, but just smelling it makes me feel spicy. I can't eat spicy food."

"The little boss said that there are also tomato pots and mushroom soup pots. Well, if you can't eat spicy food, you can eat the other two."

After the hot pot base was cooked, Xu Wanning put the dishes prepared in advance on the table one by one.

"The scalding times for beef, mutton, and pork belly are respectively..."

Due to the constraints of the times, Xu Wanning did not prepare many dishes.

The only meat dishes available are beef, mutton, pork belly, pork tenderloin, chicken feet and duck feet, but there is no tripe.

In later generations, meat dishes such as hairy tripe, yellow throat and duck tongue were easily sold for forty or fifty cents, and only a few yuan.

But nowadays, these parts are basically not available on the market, and Xu Wanning is reluctant to go out and search for them. It is still unknown whether they will be found.

Therefore, the most basic beef, lamb and pork are enough.

For vegetarian dishes, it’s just some seasonal fresh vegetables.

But the variety is pitiful.

Therefore, Xu Wanning added kelp, wakame, dried tribute vegetables and bean sprouts and potato clips.

"By the way, which one of you can make soft tofu?" Xu Wanning set her sights on Chef Zhang and Chef Yang.

The two chefs looked at each other, "I can make ordinary tofu, but I really can't make soft tofu."

"I can, little boss, I can make soft tofu!" Behind him, there was a person raising his arms. Xu Wanning took a closer look. It was a face that was completely unfamiliar to her.

Most of them are new chefs recommended by Chef Zhang or Chef Yang.

Seeing Xu Wanning's gaze, the other party smiled "hehe" and said: "Our family has opened a tofu shop before, and I can make all soy products. The tender tofu the little boss mentioned is the kind of tofu that melts in the mouth, right? Although The process is a bit difficult, but I really know how to do it!"

"Can you make all kinds of soy products?"

The other party nodded: "

What about tofu skin and dried tofu?"

"As long as I have the ingredients, I can make it. !"

Xu Wanning clapped her hands immediately: "Well, you are responsible for making three kilograms of dried tofu, two kilograms of tofu skin, and two kilograms of tender tofu every day. If you need anything, just tell Manager Su and he can arrange it."

"Is this all you need? Isn't it a little too little?"

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Soy products are actually delicious when used to cook hot pot, but the taste is not acceptable to everyone. And soy products can't be stored in the morning. It won’t be sold out in the afternoon, and it will go bad overnight, so we prepare less at the beginning. If we don’t sell enough later, we can make more.”

Xu Wanning looked at Xuehua and others again: “Remember the cooking time for each dish. Have you stayed? The time spent abroad must be between the shortest time and the longest time. If the time is too short and it is too old, it will affect the taste."

Xuehua nodded: "I have remembered it, little boss.

" I turned my head and forgot, or misremembered the time of several dishes, and deliberately wrote them down on paper, just in case.

Xu Wanning looked at Chef Zhang and Chef Yang again: "Have you all remembered how to stir-fry the ingredients?"

"Yes, I have remembered it all."

"Okay. Each of you will stir-fry once. Xuehua, you guys started cooking."

Xuehua looked at the dozen or so plates on the table, "Little boss, wouldn't it be too wasteful to cook all these dishes? Let's try it once each to verify that we all remember it. "That's enough, right?"

"The portion of the dishes on the plate isn't too much. Each of you can try it once or twice, and there won't be much left. After it's cooked, we'll share it with you." Eat it and don’t waste it.”

Hearing this, everyone had a look of joy on their faces and asked in disbelief: "Little boss, can we be the first to taste the hot pot? Is it true?"

Xu Wanning wanted to say that she was not the first. As early as half a month ago, my family had already tasted it.

But she didn't say this to her face.

"Yes, everyone has a share. If there is not enough food, let the chefs go to the back kitchen to prepare it, and everyone can eat to their heart's content."

Chef Zhang and Chef Yang also started to stir-fry, and soon, the tangy aroma came out swept over again.
