Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 153 Chefs still have to wear masks?
After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Expert Chen looked at Cao Zhiqiang.

After Cao Zhiqiang nodded, Expert Chen explained to He Yuzhu, "It's the air conditioner you mentioned that can blow cold air in summer."

Immediately afterwards, expert Chen continued to introduce:

"According to Xiao Cao's request, air conditioners are installed here.

So, Xiao Cao paid for it himself, and then in the name of the design institute, we went to a foreign trade company to order six commercial air conditioners, imported from Toshiba. "

"Six imported air conditioners?" He Yuzhu frowned and asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Six air conditioners, big and small, with a total price of [-]." Expert Chen said.

"Twelve thousand and eight?" He Yuzhu opened his mouth wide.

"1, just bought six air conditioners?

This, this is too expensive, right?

With these ten thousand, I can buy another house and open a restaurant. "

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and said: "Uncle He, you can't say that, with and without air-conditioning, the dining experience is different, and the taste is completely different.

The kind of ordinary restaurant you mentioned earns eight cents for a meal, but for a restaurant like mine with luxurious decoration and air conditioning, if you come here, you don’t spend ten or eight yuan, and you are embarrassed to enter. this door.

So, don't look at the expensive decoration and equipment now, but the grade has also followed.

My restaurant is originally aimed at mid-to-high-end customers. If it really operates, it will take less than a year, no, half a year to earn back the air-conditioning money. "

"You can earn [-] in half a year?" He Yuzhu shook his head, "I don't believe it."

Cao Zhiqiang was noncommittal: "Don't worry about this, let's go and see the kitchen."

He Yuzhu nodded: "This is successful, this must be seen."

After that, several people passed by the courtyard under renovation and went directly to the kitchen behind.

As soon as he came in, He Yuzhu nodded: "The place is not small, and the stove is also set up reasonably, yo, this smoker is not small."

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "It's custom-made, completely made of stainless steel, not to mention the eight-meter-high chimney connected to the outside, and there is a big ventilator on it to help smoke, which can extract oily fumes in time , to ensure the fresh air in the kitchen.

In addition, an air conditioner is specially installed here, just so that in summer, your place will not be too hot. "

"No way?" He Yuzhu was really shocked this time, "The kitchen is still equipped with air conditioners? This is the first time I heard about it."

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Then you are rare and strange, many kitchens abroad will install air conditioners, just to increase the comfort of the chef.

Think about it, winter is fine, but in summer, the kitchen is smoky, if there is no air conditioner, and so many people work here, it won’t be too hot?
This sweaty cooking is okay if the time is short, but if the time is long, no one can stand it.

And if the sweat drips on the dishes, that's even worse, don't you think? "

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Li'er is such a reason, and it sounds like that, but the kitchen has an air conditioner, this, isn't this too much?"

"This is a gimmick!" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Look carefully, in this kitchen, I not only have people make non-slip floor tiles, but also tiles on the walls, and plasterboard for the ceiling.

Why do you do this?It is to create a clean and tidy environment.

Not only is it more comfortable to work in such a kitchen, but it is also easier to clean the floor and walls when they are dirty, and it is not easy to leave oil stains.

When the time comes, you chefs will all be wearing white chef uniforms, white chef hats, and white masks..."

"Wait a minute!" He Yuzhu interrupted immediately, "Chefs still have to wear masks? Never heard of it!"

"Of course you have to wear a mask!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "Wearing a mask makes you look clean and formal. I have an air conditioner here, so I don't feel hot when I wear a mask.

In addition, wearing a mask can not only reduce the pollution of dishes, but also protect the chef himself.

After wearing a mask, chefs in the kitchen can effectively prevent inhalation of some harmful fumes, especially harmful oil fumes.

It has been scientifically proven that wearing a mask can effectively reduce the smoke particles inhaled into the lungs and reduce the occurrence of lung diseases such as lung cancer.

So asking you to wear masks is not only for the good of the guests, but more importantly for your own health. "

"Is it too exaggerated?" He Yuzhu frowned, "I have been cooking for so many years, and I have never worn a mask, and I have never seen any lung disease."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "You are still young, and you are a survivor, so you can't count."

Seeing He Yuzhu's disapproving expression, Cao Zhiqiang simply stopped using science to explain, but instead said: "Well, whether you believe in science or not, anyway, here, chefs must wear masks, just like doctors must wear masks for patients. Like a knife.

This is the rule here. If you want to work here, you must abide by the rules, and you are the same, understand? "

"Chengchengcheng." He Yuzhu nodded, "You are the boss, you have the final say, I can't do it by listening to you."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "That's good, you will know the benefits of wearing a mask in the future."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Let's leave it at that for the mask issue, let's take a closer look at the others.

Look, Uncle He, are there several big holes on the south side of my kitchen?This is because I had someone double the size of the window.

This is not only to increase lighting, nor is it for ventilation, but to install large transparent glass, so that guests can easily see the internal operation of the kitchen through the large glass window.

To put it simply, this is called a visual kitchen. "

He Yuzhu frowned: "Does the kitchen have to be seen by others?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

"Think about it, when guests come here to take a look, hehe, good guy, this kitchen is so clean, and the chef is so clean, the dishes must be clean and hygienic, and of course they are very reassuring to eat.

Regardless of whether it is really clean or not, at least when you look at it this way, you will feel that the dishes here are very clean and hygienic. If you spend a little more money, you will naturally feel that it is worth it, don't you think so? "

He Yuzhu frowned, wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, so he shook his head, expressing that he was not very optimistic about this move.

After all, in his impression, the kitchen is sacred and mysterious. Especially when cooking, it is often kept secret and belongs to a confidential place. He has never heard that the kitchen is open for guests to see casually.

"Uncle He, times have changed, and some rules have to change." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"The characteristics of our restaurant, in addition to the color and fragrance, also have to pay attention to taste.

What is taste?To put it bluntly, it is a kind of exquisiteness and a kind of difference.

In other places, outsiders are not allowed to enter the kitchen, and guests are not allowed to look at it, but our place is different. Guests are allowed to come to the corridor outside and observe the operation of the kitchen through the glass.

Since it is a visible kitchen, if it is to be seen by others, the kitchen must be clean and tidy, and the chef must also be well-dressed, giving people a very particular, formal and hygienic feeling.

Think about it, when the guests come here to take a look, hey, the chefs inside are dressed like doctors performing surgery, and the kitchen is as clean and bright as the operating table, cleaner than their bedroom, that is What kind of mentality?
With this kind of mentality, when they eat, they definitely feel that the dishes are different, and they must be more clean and hygienic than other places.

Then, when they finish eating and leave, why don't they brag to others, proving that they have been to this extraordinary place?

In this way, won't there be word of mouth?Aren't there too many guests?
With a good reputation and more customers, do you still worry about making money? "

He Yuzhu rubbed his chin: "Don't say it, it really makes sense when you say that."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "By the way, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon.

Since the kitchen is your battlefield, and it has to be visited by people, I must pay more attention to the working environment of your chefs.

In addition to the special setting of this kitchen, I also prepared a lounge for you.

The lounge is on the east side of the kitchen. It is a separate room with fan heating, TV, radio, coffee table, sofa and single bed. If you are tired, you can sit, lie down, or have a drink. Tea, listening to music, chatting, playing cards and so on.

To the west of the kitchen is the food preparation room. I bought a large imported freezer, and some ingredients that need to be frozen can be placed in it.

I also had a large fish tank built with an aerator.

The fish tanks are divided into categories, including seawater tanks and freshwater tanks. Some different seafood and aquatic products can be kept in the bathtub temporarily, and can be taken as needed to ensure fresh ingredients.

In addition, washing and picking vegetables and preparing vegetables are all carried out in the vegetable preparation room. There are no windows to the outside here, and outsiders cannot see it. "

He Yuzhu thought for a while: "Well, I'm just a cook, I don't understand these things, anyway, you are the boss, you are willing to do this, you have the final say."

"Then wearing a mask to cook, are you okay?" Cao Zhiqiang asked with a smile.

"If there is a problem, it has to be fine." He Yuzhu said, "You give the money so happily, and you also give me dry stock, and there is an air-conditioning fan, and a lounge. The environment is so good, what else can I say, no? Wear a mask, no problem."

"That's good." Cao Zhiqiang said, "You take a closer look, and if there are still those who are not satisfied, you can bring them up. If they are reasonable, I will let them change."

He Yuzhu thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, I only know the kitchen, and I don't know anything else, so it's useless to ask me.

Anyway, this kitchen, I am quite satisfied with it, it is quite reasonable, let’s just leave it at that. "

"Don't worry now?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, don't worry." He Yuzhu nodded with a smile.

"Then look at my matter..." Cao Zhiqiang asked with a smile.

"Don't worry!" He Yuzhu glanced at Chen Gong who was walking aside, and then whispered in Cao Zhiqiang's ear, "Today is not going to work, it is working time, the big leader is very busy now, and he is very tired at night, so don't bother up.

The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is Saturday. On Saturday night, I usually go to the big leader to play chess and make him a cook.

In this way, before 05:30 on Saturday afternoon, you come to the courtyard to find me on time, and I will take you to meet the big leader. You should prepare in advance. "

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Understood, I will definitely be ready."

"That's how it is." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "It's still the same sentence, I'm only responsible for taking you there, and I won't say anything good for you. As for what you say, whether it will succeed or not, that's none of my business."

"Don't worry, Uncle He." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Regardless of success or failure, the conditions I told you remain the same. You are still the head chef and shareholder of this restaurant, but..."

"Not yet?" He Yuzhu frowned immediately, "But what, why don't you just explain it once and for all!"

Cao Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and smiled: "But, Uncle He, don't forget that you promised me not only to be a cook here, but also to be a teacher, responsible for teaching my apprentices."

He Yuzhu slapped his head: "Yes, there is this problem, it's okay, it's just teaching apprentices, it's not teaching one or two, no problem!

But let me tell you first, you can teach your apprentices, but the process of teaching your apprentices is all up to me! "

"No problem." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Respecting teachers should be respectful. You are the teacher I invited and my partner. Of course, our relationship is the strongest.

Although I provide the source of students, but if the students make you angry and don't listen to you, it is of course a shame for me, and of course I cannot tolerate it. "

He Yuzhu immediately said, "You said that!"

"Yes, I said it!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"That's it!" He Yuzhu slapped his thigh, "That's it!"
