Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 374
After all, there is an unwritten rule in the catering industry, that is, the taste of old restaurants is always better than new ones.

And the newer the store, the worse the taste.

In fact, this is not everyone's illusion, but there is reality.

The main reason for this is the status quo caused by the split-type expansion. The position that can be the head chef in the main store is basically fixed.

Those who can be asked to leave and those who are willing to leave are usually the second and third chefs.

And these second chefs and third chefs may be slightly better than the head chef in some aspects.

But in terms of comprehensive management, taste quality, and overall cooking skills, most of the second and third chefs must not be able to compare with the head chef.

But after these second chefs and third chefs are invited away, they will become chefs in the new shop.

When new stores appear, new second chefs will be poached from these second chefs' stores, and these new second chefs will become the head chefs of the new stores.

By analogy, the faster the restaurant expands, the shorter the time for chefs to learn and train.

Cooking skills and experience will also get worse, but fortunately, this expansion speed is not infinitely fast.

At a certain point, he will gain a tacit understanding with the chef's growth rate due to helplessness.

After all, if the chef's cooking skills are not up to standard, then the restaurant will definitely attract very few customers.

Without enough guests, there is not enough turnover.

Without sufficient turnover, restaurants cannot continue to survive.

The shop closed down, and this batch of returned chefs will return to other shops to continue their practice.

Then wait quietly for the next comeback.

And with the previous failure experience, there will be a lot of progress more or less, at least the next time you won't lose so badly.

Therefore, Li Xiao did not choose the new store in Yi'an Plaza, which has a new environment and better service, but went to the old store in Zhujiang New Town.

Although it is an old store, the environment is not too bad because it has been renovated a few years ago.

Lei Garden is usually a holiday, so you need to reserve a seat.

The reason why Li Xiao made reservations on weekdays was mainly because he wanted a private room.

After all, he is also worried that his live broadcast will affect others, or be influenced by others.

You must know that he has more than 40 viewers in his live broadcast room.

If during the live broadcast, someone else did something aggressive in his live broadcast room, then he would be in trouble.

Turn on the phone and click to start the live broadcast, and the message Li Xiao broadcasted was quickly sent out.

Due to the advance notification of the live broadcast, the number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded 10 in less than 30 minutes, and the number is still rising rapidly.

It can be seen that yesterday's temporary broadcast did not affect everyone's interest.

On the contrary, the temporary broadcast decision made a large group of people who eat melons even more excited.

"Oh, the anchor can still broadcast live?"

"It made me worry for nothing, I thought the host would be banned!"

"Anchor, I have received your prescription. If my father's illness improves, I will give you a rocket immediately."

"Anchor, what delicious food will you bring us to eat today?"

"Envious, why didn't you get me?"

"I also got the prescription. I hope my wife's stomach disease will recover soon."

"?! Stomach trouble, please send me a private message from the upstairs brother, please share?"

"No, the anchor said, this is not a general prescription, everyone's situation is different, and it cannot be shared."

"Hey, this isn't Zhujiang New Town, so the anchor came to Yangcheng from Xinhui District?"

Li Xiao smiled and nodded:

"That's right, this audience has good eyesight. I'm currently in Zhujiang New Town in Yangcheng. Today I'm going to take you to Liyuan Restaurant in Whampoa J School, which is known as Cantonese cuisine!"

"Perhaps many people will wonder why Lei Garden is known as the Whampoa J school of Cantonese cuisine."

"It's actually very simple. Most of the chefs in famous Cantonese restaurants come from here."

"The rules of the kitchen at Lee Garden are quite strict, and there are so many codes of conduct that make people heinous."

"I've seen a piece of rules circulating on the Internet about how to organize cooking dishes in Lee Garden's back kitchen. It's a full sheet of A4 paper, and it terrified me."

"However, high requirements and high standards also create high quality."

"Black Pearl has 2 stars and Michelin 2 stars. It has been ranked No. 20 on the must-eat Cantonese cuisine list for 5.0 consecutive years, and the online score is as high as [-] points!"

"Today I will take you to find out!"

After reporting her order information, the young lady in cheongsam led Li Xiao into a small private room for four people.

"Hello, I would like to remind the guests that the private rooms here have a 5% service charge and a minimum consumption of 1588. Do you know this?"

"I fully understand. Okay, this is an ipad for ordering. If you need anything, you can call us on it in time."

"Ok, no problem."

Li Xiao had seen the menu a long time ago, so he didn't hesitate much, so he ordered on the iPad what he wanted to eat today.

Chicken Feet in Abalone Sauce, Shrimp King Dumplings, Yangzhi Ganlu, Durian Crisp, Quicksand Buns.

Roasted three-layer meat on ice, fried rice with osmanthus caviar and foie gras, glass squab, rice with lobster soup, fried prawns with three spring onions, tea tree mushroom squab soup.

4 snacks, 4 dessert, [-] dishes, [-] main courses.

I ordered a little too much, but there is no way not to order so much, after all, there is a minimum consumption in private rooms.

Although this minimum consumption is more or less against the law.

But after all, the store is located in a place like Zhujiang New Town where the rent is extremely expensive, so it is really too much for me to occupy such a large private room by myself.

After all, if it is normal 4 people ordering, then 1588 can be easily reached.

Scan the code to pay, the service fee of 1670+83 for the dishes, a total of 1753.

Less than a minute after placing the order, the lady pushed the door open and came in with him, as well as a pot of chrysanthemum tea and a small dish of white sugar in his hand.

Looking at the somewhat familiar scene, Li Xiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In the past, the third uncle took them to drink tea, and their favorite was chrysanthemum tea.

To be precise, chrysanthemum tea is the favorite drink of their children. After all, after adding white sugar to chrysanthemum tea, the sweet feeling is not something that children can resist.

"Does white sugar need to be added now?"

"Ok."

The young lady did not directly pour the white sugar in the small dish into the chrysanthemum tea, but took out a delicate golden spoon and a bamboo stick from the side of the table.

The small spoon scoops up a spoonful of white sugar, and the bamboo stick sweeps the extra white sugar on the spoon back into the small dish.

One scoop, two scoops, three scoops.

The small spoon was placed next to the saucer containing the white sugar, picked up another long silver spoon to stir the white sugar in the chrysanthemum tea, the young lady picked up the teapot and poured a sip into the cup.

Said softly:
"One portion of white sugar has been added to the chrysanthemum tea, please see if you need to add more?"

Whoops, good guy.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao frowned.

Before, I only knew that there were many rules in the back kitchen of their family, but it seems that there are also many rules in this hall.

Thank you for the reward and the monthly pass.
