Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

The landlord's face suddenly fell. Obviously, what Du Shaojie said was right.

Boss Zhang had no intention of buying the building at a high price at all. Others set a trap for him, but it's ridiculous that he believed it.

Of course, the landlord can also regret it now, but he will have to return 10000 yuan to the other party. If the other party breaches the contract, the deposit will not be returned. If you breach the contract, you must return double the deposit to the other party.

This is a big deal!
If Du Shaojie uses this incident as an excuse to cancel the lease later, the landlord will be in a state of losing both the wife and the army, and will have no tears to cry.

The landlord was overwhelmed, so he shamelessly went to find Uncle Chai and asked him to say a few nice words to Du Shaojie and ask him not to really cancel the lease.

"Uncle Chai, for your sake, I won't bother with him this time."

Uncle Chai scolded the landlord on the spot, but after all, it was he who introduced Du Shaojie to rent the house, so he had no choice but to go to [Xichuan Restaurant].

When he met Du Shaojie, Uncle Chai explained the whole story and put the blame on Boss Zhang. This was indeed the case. If Boss Zhang hadn't been behind this, this would never have happened.

Du Shaojie gave Uncle Chai face and changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Chai, go back and ask the landlord if he really wants to sell this building. If he really wants to sell it, I can offer 15."

This landlord is neither reliable nor trustworthy. After learning from his mistakes, Du Shaojie decides to buy the building.

The bid of 15 is not low, and this price should still be attractive.

Uncle Chai nodded, then went to find the landlord and told him what Du Shaojie had said.

After this incident, the landlord also realized that the so-called "22 yuan to buy a house" was a scam. But he didn't get any benefits and lost 5000 yuan, and he always felt that he had lost a lot.

So he came to Xichuan Restaurant again and bargained with Du Shaojie face to face.

The landlord wanted 16 yuan, but Du Shaojie was only willing to pay 15 yuan. After a long argument, the deal was finally completed at a price of 15.5 yuan.

When transferring the ownership, Du Shaojie asked the director of the tax office for help. The whole process went extremely smoothly and everything was done in just a few days.

The landlord took the money and went to build a building somewhere else.

Du Shaojie felt relieved, and then discussed with Liao Yongxin and Liang Meiqin how to defeat Boss Zhang and his [Sichuan Restaurant].

To sum it up, I have what others don’t, and I am better than others.

"Next, we need to enrich the variety of dishes and constantly introduce new ones. In addition, we need to make some dishes of Sichuan Cuisine House better than they do."

Competing through unfair means is ultimately a side path. If you want to win, you still have to defeat your opponent fairly with your strength.

Price wars are not suitable for the catering industry; the competition is still about the quality of food and service.

Of course, there is one thing Du Shaojie didn't say. He will go and find out which storefront Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant rents. If possible, he wants to buy it.

His net income is more than 10 yuan a month now, so what’s wrong with buying a few more properties?

But this kind of thing is not easy to say publicly, because it won’t work if you say it.

weekend.

Du Shaojie cooked a table of dishes at his home in the old street. He not only invited Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin, but also Uncle Chai and his wife.

"Ajie, what kind of dish is this? It looks so beautiful."

The food and drinks were served and everyone took their seats.

The first thing everyone saw was this [Jiangnan Baihua Chicken], and they all thought it was amazing. The whole chicken was cut into pieces, and there were flowers placed around the plate, it was really beautiful!
However, even Uncle Chai, a veteran foodie, couldn’t name the dishes.

"This is [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken], you guys try it, it will definitely be a surprise."

Du Shaojie can cook this dish again with ease.

Everyone started eating and couldn't help but give a thumbs-up after eating. This dish is simply delicious.

In fact, the other dishes were also delicious, but this dish left such a deep impression on them that it completely overshadowed the other dishes.

After eating and drinking their fill, Uncle Chai and his wife said goodbye and left.

"Brother, Uncle Chai also brought a gift. He didn't say anything, so I just saw it."

Xiaomei helped clean up the mess and found a package.

Du Shaojie opened the bag, took a look, and smelled it, then smiled and said, "This is good stuff, Xuanwei ham, I'll make it for you later."

After finishing their work, Xiaomei and Liang Meiqin sat in the yard and chatted. They would stay here tonight, and since there were many rooms, they could stay in any room they liked.

Du Shaojie returned to his room and opened the light curtain.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: Special Level 2 Chef]

[Current work: Jiangnan Baihua Chicken and other dishes (×8)]

【Overall evaluation: delicious food】

[Bonus: Duration of the Chef Simulation Skills Competition (3.2 hours)]

[Rewards: Exchange points (3200 points), simulation training time (3.2 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

[Exchange points: 33518 points\136666 points]

【Duration: 72.40 million hours\252.50 million hours】

After such a long period of hard work, the [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken] he made finally received the comprehensive evaluation of "delicious food". This dish was completely based on his own practice, without krypton gold, and also achieved the current best effect.

This is not the most important thing. The key is that during the practice, he gained a lot of insights, which are invaluable. The next day.

Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin arrived at [Xichuan Restaurant] early in the morning.

"Boss, this is the menu of Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant, take a look."

Chu Linlin asked someone to get the opponent's menu and then gave it to Du Shaojie.

Du Shaojie nodded at the other party and had a new understanding of Chu Linlin's work ability. She was quite capable.

He then studied it together with Liao Yongxin and Liang Meiqin and felt that the dishes at Sichuan Restaurant had no highlights and many of them lacked variety, so they supplemented them with some common dishes from other cuisines.

"The dishes at Guizizi are a bit messy. They are not pure Sichuan cuisine and don't live up to their reputation."

Liao Yongxin laughed after reading it. He felt that the other party was not worth mentioning at all and was not even qualified to be an opponent.

Du Shaojie also thinks so. To put it nicely, the other party calls it "drawing on the strengths of many schools", but to put it bluntly, it is a "hodgepodge" without any characteristics of its own.

A restaurant without any characteristics won’t go far.

"The prices are similar. We must first ensure the quality of the ingredients and secondly the quality of the dishes. Especially for the Sichuan dishes on their menu, we must do better."

The business world is a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. On the surface, there may not be any tense scenes, but behind the scenes, every move is deadly.

Du Shaojie is going to target the opponent's weaknesses and use his strength to decide. It is estimated that the opponent will not be able to resist at all.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Kill that son of a bitch named Zhang."

After discussing the important matters, Liao Yongxin got up and went to the kitchen.

With him in charge of the kitchen, no one dares to act recklessly. If the purchased ingredients have quality problems, he can't put them into storage at a word, and the buyer will have to pay for the loss out of his own pocket.

Liang Meiqin is in charge of the overall situation and is responsible for all matters dealing with the outside world.

Chu Linlin is mainly responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests, and her main focus is on service quality issues.

Du Shaojie felt that as long as the three of them worked together, they would not have to worry about external competition.

He himself mainly studies some dishes that are not common in traditional Sichuan cuisine, such as [Chenpi Pork], [Roasted Crispy Recipe], [Three-color Chicken Soup], [Bamboo Fungus Liver Paste Soup], [Barbecued Pork and Milk Pig], etc.

For some of the dishes here, there are still recipes that have been passed down, but for some of them, only the names are left.

Perhaps extracting some useful things from the accumulation of history can enrich the restaurant's heritage.

“Not many people know how to make these old dishes. You can look for old recipes.”

Although Liao Yongxin is good at traditional Sichuan cuisine, there are many dishes he doesn't know how to cook. He suggested that Du Shaojie find some old recipes to study.

When manpower is limited, it is not enough to work in isolation.

Du Shaojie agreed with this. He took some time to go to the city library, but did not find what he wanted.

However, he passed by a used bookstore that afternoon, and he went in to take a look, and actually found a book called "Sichuan Cuisine Recipe". This book was published in 1972 and was once used as the designated training material for the Chengdu Catering Company. It is very interesting.

Du Shaojie was overjoyed and started studying it after buying it.

Seeing that he was reading all day long, Liang Meiqin would bring him food from Xichuan Restaurant every evening. He hadn't cooked for several days, and he seemed to be possessed.

These days, Du Shaojie spends more than 1000 hours every day, repeatedly trying to make various dishes in simulated scenarios.

The cooking methods on the recipes are usually very simple, and no one teaches the details, so you can only figure it out on your own. In fact, these dishes are not included in the simulation scene, and they will only be included when he has thoroughly mastered the cooking methods.

In the past, it was the masters in the simulation scenes who taught him the skills, but now it is the other way around.

As the days passed, Du Shaojie gained a lot. However, because he spent too much time in the simulation every day, although he had time to return to reality to rest, he was inevitably mentally exhausted.

“It was not easy. I finally figured out 50 dishes.”

What he did actually had some side effects, which was that he sometimes couldn't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

So after he restored 50 traditional Sichuan dishes, he decided not to work so hard any more. It would be terrible if he ended up developing schizophrenia.

Du Shaojie solved the problem of "from nothing to something", and the remaining problem of "from something to perfection" was easy to handle.

What to do? Pay gold.

Therefore, he immediately spent 2 exchange points and 40 hours to raise the overall evaluation of these 50 dishes to the level of "delicious food".

He has already consumed 2 hours of time over the past few days, and with what he just consumed, the remaining time has been greatly reduced.

[Exchange points: 13518 points\136666 points]

【Duration: 30.40 million hours\252.50 million hours】

"Cool!"

Du Shaojie felt comfortable now.

"Eh? Shaojie, why are you so happy? I didn't bring you any food today, let's go out to eat later."

At this time, Liang Meiqin walked in from outside.

Xiaomei didn't have time to come these days. She was busy with graduation matters and didn't even leave the school gate. So, the person who took care of Du Shaojie fell on Liang Meiqin's head.

Anyway, she is a manager and has more free time. (End of this chapter)
