Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 319 So I'm the Monkey
"Interview?" Chen Nian couldn't help looking at the badge on the other's chest.

The logo above clearly says Sichuan Radio and Television Station, with the abbreviation of SRT in front.

Presumably the identity of the other party should not be false.

Although I have been filmed by some self-media friends before, the TV interview is still Scorpion Lababa-the only one.

"For interviews, it's okay if you're really not busy." Chen Nian said.

"Don't worry about this, we will take a lot of shots at that time, but for your personal interviews, we will basically choose your free time." The other party said, "But we will also take some shots during your business hours. I will randomly interview some customers who eat here, and take some shots of cooking in the store.”

Talking about what he wanted to say while looking at Chen Nian, the talent continued to promise: "At that time, our filming may have some impact on the restaurant, but we will pay attention to it as much as possible, and the questions we will ask will be advanced in advance. To show you, to prepare you for efficiency."

Seeing that the other party said it like this, Chen Nian couldn't find any other problems for a while.

The TV station’s publicity is something that Chen Nian couldn’t wish for. Although Chen Nian feels that he is quite introverted, being introverted doesn’t mean he is unsophisticated, and he has lived in dreams for so many years.
If the TV station is willing to promote, it is better than advertising.

How can a restaurant owner dislike too many people coming to eat?
"On my side, I may have to prepare a banquet in these three days. The time will be more urgent, and I will need to go on a business trip in about half a month, but I can take any time in between." Chen Nian thought about his schedule Then said.

After hearing this, the man thought about it for a while, then nodded: "Then it's no problem."

While talking, he picked up his mobile phone, and there was Chen Nian's phone number on it: "Boss Chen just wrote down this phone number at the door. Is your WeChat number also the same?"

"Yes, this is it."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and I'll tell the station that reporters and cameras will be arranged for interviews, but I will definitely contact you in advance before then."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Chen Nian nodded and said gratefully.

To be honest, he didn't even know why he was picked up by the TV station for an interview, but he still asked this question on WeChat later, and he always felt a little unspeakable when asked in person.

And the man left a business card when he left.

His name is Li Ming.

Li Ming just stood up and was about to leave, but stopped after taking two steps: "By the way, boss, I saw you posted a recruitment notice outside just now. Do you want to recruit a vegetable cutter and a dishwasher?"

"Yes." Chen Nian nodded and looked at the other party with interest, "Mr. Li, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Li Ming shook his head: "I haven't, but just now I looked at your kitchen and I have a suggestion, why don't you consider buying a dishwasher for restaurants?"

"Dishwasher?" Chen Nian is no stranger to this equipment. He had considered it before, but he always felt that the dishwasher was not clean enough, so he expressed his concerns.

"No, no, in fact, some brands of dishwashers are still acceptable. We have also interviewed other restaurants in Chengdu before. Some of the more famous restaurants have many of them using dishwashers. I was a little curious at the time. I asked specifically, and found that the dishes washed out like that are indeed very clean, and they can be sterilized at high temperature in the way, so they can be used directly when they are taken out.”

After Li Ming finished speaking, he was still worried that Chen Nian would misunderstand that he had this relationship, so he explained casually: "I still remember those restaurants. If Boss Chen has plans in this regard, I can help you get in touch. If you want to buy at that time, you can directly inquire with their boss or the purchasing department of the manager, I don’t know those manufacturers.”

Chen Nian also understood the meaning of the other party's words.

As for the dishwasher, what he worries most is that it won’t be clean. After all, Chen Nian doesn’t want to serve dirty dishes to guests. He obviously serves a dish of lettuce with garlic, but he can vaguely eat it. Po tofu taste is outrageous.

But at this moment, hearing what the other party said, Chen Nian suddenly became interested.

"Why don't you please contact me, Mr. Li?"

"Haha, okay, no problem, I have their WeChat."

Speaking of which, Li Ming started to open WeChat and sent several messages on the spot, and received three calls one after another after a while, all of which were from the owners of those restaurants, because Li Ming had previously talked with them on behalf of the TV station. So those restaurant owners naturally want to establish a good relationship with Li Ming.

As soon as I heard that there was a demand in this area, I called back on the spot to inquire.

But Li Ming just said that he has a friend who wants to open a restaurant and wants to buy a dishwasher, and he wants to ask which brand is good.

As a result, the people from the three restaurants not only mentioned the signs, but also enthusiastically invited them to take a look. After all, the demonstration on the spot would be more intuitive.

Li Ming asked again when it was convenient to go there.

All three said they could do it now.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ming looked at Chen Nian: "Boss Chen, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Okay."

Chen Nian agreed immediately, then took off his chef uniform and changed into clean clothes, greeted everyone, and went out to visit in Li Ming's car.

I visited three restaurants back and forth, and each restaurant was very enthusiastic when they entered. Although the owners of two restaurants were not there, they also arranged for managers to take them to visit.

Even turned on the machine and washed some dishes on the spot.

Chen Nian picked it up and looked carefully, and found that it was indeed quite clean.

If this level can be maintained all the time, then his own Honghong Restaurant can also buy a dishwasher.

After watching the three families, Chen Nian had already made up his mind that he had to make one of these things himself.

The price is the price of hiring a dishwasher for less than half a year, and this is still a good buy, so you just need to put the dishes and chopsticks in.

The follow-up is nothing more than regular cleaning and the purchase of detergents for dishwashers, as well as some parts replacement and upgrades.

But this can greatly save labor time.

And according to these restaurants, what they buy is of good quality and more expensive. It has been the longest three years since the beginning, and the one with the most has broken down twice. Well, it took less than half an hour to fix it.

Afterwards, Chen Nian got the phone calls of these three manufacturers.

When they went back, it was also Li Ming who drove them back in person. Sitting in the car, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, the face of these reporters is great.

Of course, it is undeniable that the work of journalists is still very hard.

After going back.

"What's the matter son? Do we want to buy a dishwasher?" Feng Honghong had been waiting in the store before, and asked curiously after seeing Chen Nian come back.

"Yes, Mom, I went to those restaurants and found that their dishes are quite clean, and the price is not expensive. If we can buy one of these in the store, Aunt Wen will be able to relax a lot. "

Feng Honghong has always believed in her son in this regard. Since his son said so, she naturally would not object.

"Okay, you can figure it out."

But when Chen Nian was chatting with Feng Honghong, Wen Hongxia was on the sidelines, and now she was a little worried.

Chen Nian turned around and happened to see this scene.

"Auntie, then you can relax a little bit, and you don't have to be so tired every day."

When Wen Hongxia heard what Chen Nian said, she raised her head and said apologetically, "Boss Chen, do we really need to buy a dishwasher in our store?"

"That's what I plan to do now, but then I have to contact these three manufacturers to see their information and prices. At that time, Auntie, you don't have to wash it by hand and just operate the machine directly. If there is something that the machine can't wash Wash it by hand, anyway, the overall job will be a lot easier."

"Then..." Wen Hongxia sighed, and said immediately: "If this is the case, the salary I get is too high. How can I get so much money as a waiter? Otherwise, let's reduce the salary back. The previous salary was also very high. OK."

Chen Nian finally understood what the other party meant. Aunt Wen felt that if she bought a dishwasher, her job would be greatly reduced, and she was a little uneasy if she still had such a high salary.

And the other party is obviously very smart to do this. After all, if you only serve as a waiter to deliver food, even if you pay two to three thousand yuan, someone will apply for the job.

The market is like this.

Therefore, Aunt Wen took the initiative to raise the price to leave a good impression, lest she find a reason to fire the squid and change to a cheaper waiter.

But it was obvious that Wen Hongxia was overthinking. Chen Nian helped Wen Hongxia not only because there was a lack of a waiter in the store, but because of their previous bond in the dream.

Although Chen Nian now knows that everything in the dream is actually a projection of reality, rather than the characters in the dream projected into reality, but those things did happen to Chen Nian.

And Aunt Wen is really good at her job.

"Auntie, don't think about it so much. When the installation is completed, people from the manufacturer will come to train, and the wages don't need to be reduced. Now that the store has expanded, the workload is not only increased in the kitchen, but also more food is needed outside. People, I wanted to hire a dishwasher earlier just to transfer you outside, so it doesn’t have to be so hard, and washing dishes by hand for a long time is not good for people.”

Finally, after Chen Nian and Feng Honghong had a good talk, Wen Hongxia finally agreed with a trace of guilt.

To be honest, it was the first time she saw that the waiter in this small restaurant could get a salary of 1.

"Thank you, thank you." Wen Hongxia couldn't help thanking, she felt that this family was really wonderful!

"Haha, you're welcome. What's there to thank? Sister, you're exchanging your labor for money now, so it's just as it should be. If you really want to thank you, you can bring Yueyue to play when you have time. I especially like Xiaoyue. Child." Hong Honghong was worried that Wen Hongxia was thinking too much, so she comforted her.

But when he said the following three words, children, his tone was deliberately aggravated.

As soon as Chen Nian heard it, he knew that his mother was insinuating himself.

But this topic has always been Chen Nian's weakness, so he can only just haha ​​and jump over it.

But He Hai in the kitchen seemed a little gloating. He didn't expect that this almost omnipotent boss would have something wrong.
In contrast, one of the two of them is married and the other has a girlfriend, which is indeed something to be proud of.

On the same day, Chen Nian contacted those three manufacturers, and they all added Chen Nian's WeChat account, and after inquiring about Chen Nian's needs, they sent equipment information and quotations suitable for this place.

There is still more research on these vintages, to compare and see which one is easier to use.

At night, Chen Nian was just about to close the stall and study new dishes, but at this moment, through the glass window, Chen Nian saw a handsome guy reeking of alcohol coming in.

……

Ye Feng is a street dance teacher. Her job is to teach students to dance. However, due to her appearance, she is often considered a boy. However, many girls who chased him became more excited after learning her true gender.

She went out to eat and drink with a friend who was about to get married tonight, but she didn't eat much during the whole show, instead she drank a lot.

Nothing else, the main thing is to be happy for friends.

After the show ended, Night Breeze staggered towards home, and her stomach growled suddenly. Originally, she wanted to go home and cook a bowl of instant noodles, but suddenly she walked to the entrance of Honghong Restaurant and looked inside. I took a look and found that there were still people in the kitchen.

And after seeing the menu hanging on the wall, I suddenly felt that the instant noodles were not delicious.

What braised beef instant noodles?

The lack of beef made her wonder if the cow was still alive since the establishment of the instant noodle manufacturer.

So I made up my mind to eat here before going home.

"Handsome guy, what do you want to eat?" Usually, Chen Nian would not refuse guests who come at this time, because the ingredients are still available, and he can cook whatever the other party wants, and it doesn't take much time.

If it wasn't for lack of time to eat before, who would come out to eat so late?

Make it easier for people.

When Ye Feng heard Chen Nian asking himself, he raised his head in doubt, his cheeks were flushed, but his facial features were very handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a bright yellow loose T-shirt with short sleeves on his upper body, loose knee-length overalls shorts on his lower body, and a pair of canvas shoes, The collocation is quite handsome, and there is an earring on the ear, which adds a bit of charm to the original basis.

Chen Nianguang just visually judged that the other party was as handsome as his own, and he was almost able to catch up with him.

But if you keep the other party's hair so long and do a styling, you should be able to widen the gap even more.

"Handsome guy?" Ye Feng said, looking at Chen Nian sullenly, then stretched out his right index finger and pointed to his nose: "I'm a woman."

"Female?" Chen Nian heard that the other party's voice was indeed a bit similar, so he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, let me look at the menu first."

Speaking of Ye Yefeng, he began to look at the menu.

Although I drank a bit too much, at least my brain was clear.

It's the kind of person who knows that he has drunk too much, that is, his brain is a little dizzy, but he can still think normally. At most, some emotions will be slightly amplified.

After looking around, she finally set her sights on Mapo Tofu.

It's not for anything else, just because this dish only costs one yuan. Although she is not short of money, Ye Feng wants to know what the boss will look like if she orders this dish alone.

"Let's have a mapo tofu." After Ye Feng finished speaking, he felt a little smug in his heart, looking at Chen Nian and trying to see something from his face.

But Chen Nian has seen many customers like this and it’s okay to just order a mapo tofu: "But do you only want a mapo tofu? Do you want it? A bowl of rice?"

Ye Feng just saw that the rice is two yuan, and the mapo tofu is only one yuan: "No, just have a mapo tofu, I can eat spicy food, I am a girl from Sichuan~"

After finishing speaking, he really saw a surprised look on Chen Nian's face, but he didn't expect the boss to actually sell it like this.

After Chen Nian received the late-night order, he began to prepare the ingredients, and then put them on the pot to make Mapo Tofu.

This is the most skillful dish cooked by Chen Nian. It took only a few minutes for Chen Nian to prepare it, and then served it to Ye Feng himself.

It's just that Ye Feng still had a strange look on Chen Nian's face at this moment.

Looking at the red, soft, tender, smooth and warm mapo tofu, Ye Feng couldn't help but whet his appetite, and his tongue was full of saliva.

"It looks pretty good, it should taste delicious too, right?"

Then take a spoonful of tofu and put it in your mouth. The tofu is very soft and tender, with a rich taste. The beef is chewy and chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

Such a plate of mapo tofu only sells for one yuan, so the boss is indeed selling it at a loss.

But at this time, she finally understood what the expression of the owner of the red restaurant just now meant.

He wasn't surprised that he only ordered a one-dollar mapo tofu, but he was wondering that he didn't order a bowl of rice!
The clown was me.

So I'm the one?
"It's too spicy!"

Her brain was much clearer because of the spicy taste, and the alcohol was forced out of Tianling Gai by the rich spicy taste.

"Boss, have a bowl of rice!"

"No, a bowl of rice and a cold beer!"
