Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

【Ding! 】

[Mission: Seize the opportunity to win. The bound chef must defeat the "Shuxianglou" Yangcheng store within three months.]

[Reward: 3 redemption points, random gift pack (x1). ]

[Penalty: If you fail to complete the task within the specified time, you will not be able to receive any rewards within three months.]

Note 1: The standard for defeat is that the other party’s daily turnover drops by 70% or more compared to yesterday, or it closes down.

Du Shaojie was a little dizzy at first, but when the task came, he suddenly became about 70% sober.

In fact, even if the task was not issued, he would not be lenient. Because what Zhang Yufa did had already crossed the bottom line of normal competition, if he didn't kill him with one blow, would he have to wait for him to make a comeback?

"Shaojie, why are you still standing here? Let me help you go upstairs and have a rest."

Du Shaojie was still thinking about the problem when Liang Meiqin hurried out of the store.

She just saw the other person going out to see off a guest, and after waiting for a long time he still hadn't come back, she felt a little worried, so she came out to check.

As a result, I saw him standing outside the door in a daze.

"I'm fine, just go to your office and have a cup of tea."

Du Shaojie waved his hand and went straight upstairs.

Liang Meiqin made a cup of tea, and he drank it slowly, and the smell of alcohol on his body became much lighter.

He felt that he needed to think it over carefully. Zhang Yufa would definitely not be able to get out in the short term, but he would not be detained for too long.

This gap is a godsend opportunity and he cannot waste it.

night.

Du Shaojie first took stock of his recent gains.

He cooked a lot during the Chinese New Year, and including today's table, a total of 40 dishes received the overall evaluation of "delicacies".

This brought him 20000 redemption points and an additional 40 hours of general time.

And these days, a total of 5 hours were consumed.

[Exchange points: 48918 points\322066 points]

【Duration: 75.60 million hours\587.30 million hours】

Du Shaojie immediately closed the light curtain and began to think about what to do next.

[Shuxianglou] is essentially still based on Zhangyufa. The partner only provides technical support, but takes 50% of the profits.

Now that something has happened in Zhangyu, Shuxianglou is leaderless and it is the time when internal chaos is most likely to occur.

The next step is to find a way to magnify this "chaos", complete the task earlier, and let [Shuxianglou] close down earlier.

The next day.

Du Shaojie and Chu Linlin had a private conversation, and soon the inside story that the owner of Shuxianglou colluded with criminals to frame Xichuan Restaurant spread.

"Did you know? Boss Zhang from Shuxianglou was arrested."

"Now that [Shuxianglou] has no backbone, I'm afraid it will go bankrupt, right?"

"It's what he deserves! Who made Boss Zhang so filthy? He tried to frame someone but ended up getting himself into trouble instead."

This news is very explosive and is a model that everyone loves to talk about.

Many people treat this incident as a story, but not satisfied with it, they continue to spread it by adding their own imagination.

Du Shaojie had experienced the era of information explosion and knew the power of public opinion. At this time, any disturbance would be fatal to [Shuxianglou], because public opinion had pushed it to the forefront.

Meng Gang notified stores in various places and launched a "recharge and get gifts" campaign.

Recharge 50 yuan and get 5 yuan, recharge 100 yuan and get 12 yuan, recharge 200 yuan and get 30 yuan. The promotion lasts for one week, after this period of time, the discount will be gone, and you have to wait until the next promotion.

In addition, each store will give away gifts to customers who spend more than 200 yuan in a single transaction.

On the day of the event, Liang Meiqin specially invited a lion dance team to perform a lion dance in front of the entrance of the Yangcheng branch of Xichuan Restaurant.

There were crowds of people outside the store, and the sound of gongs and drums was very lively.

The store is packed with people. Let’s not talk about the occupancy rate at this time. Don’t you see that there are still many customers queuing up for seats over there?
The opposite of this is the Shuxianglou Yangcheng store.

[Shuxianglou] The business at Yangcheng store has been particularly bad in the past two days, with the occupancy rate less than 60%.

There are also customers who always pull the waiter aside and ask, "Where is your boss Zhang? Has he really been arrested?"

The chefs in the kitchen are basically sent from the head office of Shuxianglou. They have the final say in the kitchen, but they have no control over the front office, finance, purchasing and other aspects.

Zhang Yufa himself likes to do everything himself and holds power tightly. In his absence, no one can make the decision on many things.

Fortunately, he had not been in there long, so everyone could still do things according to inertia. If he had been in there for a longer time, the internal management would have been in chaos.

Just one week.

The daily turnover of the Yangcheng store of [Shuxianglou] dropped by half, and all employees felt the chill at their bones.

It is said that the head office of Shuxianglou held a special meeting for this matter, and some people advocated terminating the cooperation with Zhang Yufa. After all, the current chaotic situation was caused by Zhang Yufa himself.

Some people also advocated taking over the Yangcheng branch of Shuxianglou during the chaos. Of course, to do so, Zhang Yufa's consent must be obtained in advance.

After arguing for a long time, the head office decided to send a heavyweight to find a way to meet with Zhang Yufa. Unfortunately, although the person arrived in Yangcheng, he could not meet Zhang Yufa. The explanation given by the relevant departments was that the case was still under investigation and the suspect could not meet other people.

But within two days, Zhang Yufa's wife ran to Shuxianglou, took out a letter written by Zhang Yufa himself, and temporarily took control of the situation.

"What a pity! How can the son of a bitch write a letter and bring it out when he's locked up in there?"

When Du Shaojie and others learned about this, they couldn't help but sigh.

If it were just a little bit, the Yangcheng branch of Shuxianglou would have completely fallen apart. Unfortunately, Zhang Yufa’s wife had obtained the authorization. Even if she didn’t know how to manage, with a “human stamp”, at least the internal affairs would not be in chaos immediately.

After Liao Yongxin sighed, he felt that this matter was very strange.

"Of course, he must have been brought here through connections. Zhang Yufa is a boss after all, so how could he not have a few friends in society? Let's not give up and move on to the next plan."

Du Shaojie didn’t know Zhang Yufa’s background before, but now it seems that the other party has a wide network of contacts.

Fortunately, he had prepared a detailed plan in advance, and the next step was to attack from the food.

Liao Yongxin nodded, and then reported a batch of dishes to Du Shaojie. These dishes are the signature dishes of [Shuxianglou] Yangcheng Branch, and they are basically new-style Sichuan cuisine.

New-style Sichuan cuisine emphasizes flavor rather than form and is very popular among young customers.

Next, Du Shaojie will perfectly replicate these dishes and make secondary innovations on this basis.

"Their dish is already innovative. If you do a second innovation, what will it become? It has nothing to do with Sichuan cuisine."

Liao Yongxin shook his head and sighed, fearing that Du Shaojie would go astray.

"Master, don't worry. My second innovation is to try to restore their signature dishes to the traditional Sichuan cuisine style. My principle is to take the flavor and keep the shape, but the core must be the core of traditional Sichuan cuisine."

Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand, then told his thoughts.

After listening to this, Liao Yongxin felt his eyes light up.

He felt that he was old and had lost his spirituality. But Du Shaojie was different, and perhaps he could really accomplish this.

Zhou Huai'en was very happy and said, "Boss Du, it seems that you have completely mastered the essence of 'spirituality'. If you can succeed, you will have the strength of a cooking technician."

"I'll try my best. There are always more solutions than problems."

Next, Du Shaojie asked Chu Linlin to buy back the signature dishes of Shuxianglou in several batches. After tasting them repeatedly, he began to try to replicate them perfectly.

He spent most of the day and night in the simulated scene, trying it over and over again. It only took him a few days to complete the task of perfect replication.

Then, based on the perfect reproduction, he began to embed the core of traditional Sichuan cuisine into these dishes.

For example, one of the signature dishes of Shuxianglou, Man Jiang Hong, is actually derived from Mao Xue Wang, the originator of Jianghu cuisine.

Not only did the other party change to a more fancy name, the content also changed greatly.

It tastes good, but the ingredients are too complicated, so the main flavor is not prominent.

On this basis, Du Shaojie screened the ingredients, adding some and reducing some. Generally speaking, the types of ingredients were reduced.

Then, in terms of cooking and seasoning, it returns to the traditional Sichuan cuisine style, better integrating the original flavor of the ingredients and the flavor of the seasoning. No matter in color, aroma or taste, it is better than [Man Jiang Hong].

With one successful experience, it will be much easier to innovate the dishes subsequently.

For example, for this dish [Butterfly in Love], he used many traditional cooking techniques of Sichuan cuisine, and the texture and taste are quite good.

A week later.

Du Shaojie completed the work of reproduction and improvement.

There are 10 dishes in total. He spent 5000 redemption points and 10 hours to raise their overall evaluation to the level of "delicacies".

morning.

Du Shaojie, who had been in seclusion for many days, came to [Xichuan Restaurant].

"Boss Du, what's the situation?"

"It should be done. Let me cook a few dishes for you to try and give your opinions."

Du Shaojie immediately ordered the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients. He changed his clothes and went into the kitchen.

"The first dish is [Man Jiang Hong. Signature Maoxuewang]."

Du Shaojie seemed very excited today. He was full of inspiration while cooking and finished the dishes in one go.

The second dish is [Dielianhua. Slow-cooked Marbled Beef].

There were 10 dishes in total, and Du Shaojie finished them in one go, and immediately felt extremely refreshed.

At this time, the prepared dishes have been delivered to the private room.

Du Shaojie, Liao Yongxin, Liang Meiqin, Zhou Huai'en, Tian Feiyu and others went upstairs, and everyone began to taste the dishes seriously.

“Very good. Each dish is delicious and tasty. It has both the form of modern Sichuan cuisine and the soul of traditional Sichuan cuisine.”

Zhou Huai'en spoke highly of these dishes. After he finished speaking, no one said anything else.

Because everyone is busy, busy eating.

This table of dishes almost represents the highest level of Du Shaojie's cooking skills. He is in superb condition today. Even Liao Yongxin is impressed by these dishes. (End of this chapter)
