The story of a cook

Chapter 303 Ready to Eat Dumplings

Chefs must be serious, careful, and rigorous in cooking. This is a work attitude. Without a good work attitude, there will be no good products.

The vitality of a restaurant lies in its dishes.

No matter what time it is, a restaurant is a place to eat. When guests come to the restaurant, whether it is a family dinner, a gathering of friends, or a business banquet, they have to eat. If the food is not delicious, no matter how good the service is, it is useless. No guests will come in either.Any marketing, any publicity, and any discounts that restaurants do are based on the delicious food.

From the road to simplicity, the operation and marketing of restaurants are important, but without good food quality, it will be in vain.Now many restaurants are beginning to focus on marketing, doing self-media publicity, such as Kuaishou and Douyin, not saying it is not good, but also recognized and encouraged, but the first thing is to make their own dishes well, with characteristics and flavors, To make word of mouth, this is the last word.

A good concept determines the future of the hotel, and a good product determines the survival of the hotel.To run a restaurant, you must have a good foundation. Only by cultivating your internal skills can you make money and develop well.

Restaurant management is not only management of administration and operation, the most important thing is the management of dishes.It is an indisputable fact that food management determines the success or failure of a restaurant.

Now restaurants have very high requirements for a store manager. They need to understand operations, management, dishes, cost accounting, dish structure design, service process standards, marketing planning, etc. If they only understand administrative management and economic operations, That's just a manager.

The reason why many popular restaurants die within a year of operation is that the foundation is not well laid.

The strange phenomenon in the restaurant is: the chef learns to cook with Douyin, and the manager uses Douyin with his mobile phone.The feeling of the dishes is gone, but the taste is gone; the atmosphere of the service is gone, but the service is gone.At the beginning, the guests had a fresh and exciting experience, but later they felt that the food was not good, and they could not enjoy the service they should have. The dining feeling was not good, and gradually they stopped coming.

It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, and it seems that this year's Spring Festival will be celebrated in the hotel.

The business of the villa is very good, and reservations for the Chinese New Year have begun to take place.

In [-], there were not many people in the Santaizi area going to the restaurant for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and there were not many customers eating on the first day of the new year, but it started to increase in the second day of the new year, and it was almost full. Around the ninth and tenth day of the first lunar month.

After the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, some guests came to see the private rooms, preparing to order food during the Spring Festival, but most of them came to see first, first to see the environment, second, to see the menu, and to see the price of the dishes. Count them, and then go to other people's homes to see which one is better and which one is cheaper, and finally decide which one to order.

Zhang Li said: "Old Tan, it is estimated that there are quite a lot of food orders for the Spring Festival, and many people have come to see it now."

I said, "Isn't that a good thing, the more the better."

"Most of them came to have a look, and they didn't order food. I don't know if they will come or not?" Zhang Li was a little worried that the guests would not come in the end.

"No matter how you say it will be over 25, it should be decided by then, don't worry now." I said.

"Almost." Zhang Li said: "The main thing is that we are three restaurants. Many people still have New Year's Eve dinner at home during the Chinese New Year. If it was in the city, it would have been fully booked by now."

I said: "There is still a little gap between our city and the city, and it will be fine in two years."

"Can't go home for the Chinese New Year this time?" Zhang Li asked, a little gloating.

I said: "Then go back, who doesn't go home during the Chinese New Year."

"Just blow it up, I think you can go back during the Chinese New Year."

"Man is not as good as God, no one knows what it is, and it may not be possible to go back." I said, and at the same time felt that I might not be able to go home for the New Year.

"I promise I won't go back, so you can spend the New Year with me here at ease, and I'll make dumplings for you then."

When she spoke, she looked at me with a smile, as if coaxing a child.

"Okay, I'll warm the wine while you make the dumplings, no matter how you say it can't be made of white iron once, no."

She laughed and said, "I'm telling you, don't talk to me, and I'll take you down when I'm done."

I said: "Whatever, I won't go home to celebrate the New Year anyway, where is it not?"

"When I talk about eating dumplings, I'm a bit greedy for dumplings. Let's eat dumplings tonight."

"When we get off work, the dumpling restaurant has already closed. Where can we go to eat? Honestly, go home and sleep, and think about eating every day." I said.

"Just say you want to eat or not?"

"If you don't eat, you can find someone else to eat with you, and I won't go."

"Xiao Mian, if you don't want to eat dumplings, I don't think you will go when the time comes."

She threatened me.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and the guests leave early for dinner, unlike usual drinking until late.No one should have anything to do during the New Year.

At 09:30 all the guests left.

During the working meal, Li Shuang came over and said, "Master Tan, don't eat, go eat dumplings later."

I said, "No, go ahead and eat."

Li Shuang said: "It's all agreed, the second child will also go later."

When did they have such a good relationship with the second child, and they always talk about the second child when they ask me for a drink.

"I won't go then, I'll drink with you all the time, why don't I go home and sleep, besides, I plan to quit drinking and have children."

"Drinking doesn't delay having a baby." Li Shuang said, "It's agreed, we'll go together later."

After speaking, she started to walk to the locker room.

"I'm not going." I said.

"I'll lift you up too."

She said a harsh word without looking back.

I guess I can't avoid the drinking party at night, so I didn't eat the work meal, went to the kitchen to check, and saw that Master Xu didn't go to the work meal, and sat in the lounge smoking.

I asked, "Master Xu, why didn't you eat?"

Master Xu said, "I'm not so hungry, I don't want to eat."

Seeing his worried expression, he asked, "What's wrong, Master Xu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing."

"No, I see that you have something to do with your frowning face. If you have something to say, let me see if I can help you." I said.

Master Xu glanced at me and said, "New Year is coming soon, and I haven't made much money for half a year. I've only been here for a month, and it's not time for capital opening. I'm thinking about sending some money home. I don't know what to do with it." Mr. Wang said that he wanted to borrow some salary first."

"Oh, isn't it just about money, how much do you plan to borrow?" I asked.

"Two thousand is enough." Master Xu said.

I said, "It's okay, let's do it tomorrow. I'll bring you two thousand tomorrow. I don't have any on me now."

Master Xu said: "That's so embarrassing, I'll just borrow some salary first."

"Just wait until you pay me back."

"Thank you, Master Tan, I will pay you back when I get paid."

"Okay, it's okay." I said: "If you have anything to say in the future, don't hold back there. We are all buddies. If we can help, we will definitely help. Let's go, don't smoke here, go to eat, and don't talk to each other again." I'll eat dumplings together, Sister Shuang treats you."

Master Xu smiled and said, "You guys go and eat, I won't go, I'll just have a work meal, and go back to bed early after eating, I don't want to go out to drink, and I can't hold alcohol."

I said: "If you don't drink enough, you will get big after practicing. You have to drink alcohol frequently."

I came out of the lounge with Master Xu, he went to eat in front, and I went into the kitchen to check.The chopping board cut a large box of potato chips and put them on the case. He was too busy eating to soak in water, so he took the box of potato chips to the sink to pick up the bubbles.

Li Shuang went to the kitchen and called me. When I came out of the kitchen, Zhang Li and Zheng Jiaqi had finished changing and were standing in the lobby waiting. Li Shuang said that she and Zheng Jiaqi would take a taxi first, and I would go with Zhang Li on my back.I asked about the second child, and she said that the second child had called and went home beforehand.

After leaving the villa, I carried Zhang Li on my back and asked her where to eat dumplings.

Zhang Li said, "Go to Li Shuang's house to eat."

"Go to her house to eat? Do you make it fresh at home?" I asked.

She said: "If you make it now, you have to wait until some time. The quick-frozen dumplings you bought can be cooked at home."

I said, "You guys are really good at being monsters. Are the quick-frozen dumplings delicious? Just eat the dumplings."

"Eat whatever you want at Li Shuang's house. Drinkers still care about what to eat, as long as there are dumplings."

"I really admire you, you women are more wicked than men."

"What the hell, just let your men set fire to the remote mountains, and don't allow our women's houses to light up."

I said: "Submitted."

"Ride slowly, what are you doing so fast? Slow down, when we arrive, she will just cook the dumplings, and we will eat ready-made dumplings when we enter the house."
