Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 192 Preparations for Pickling Sour Cabbage, Boss Li Visits Taihe Building

It is very rare for cats raised in cities to see the outdoors.

Li Rui drove the car directly into the yard, then closed the gate and opened the car door.

Let a few cats roam freely in the yard.

He and the shop assistant Xiao Ma carried the cabbages from the cart down one handful at a time.

The cabbage yield is high in autumn and winter, and people often use the word "cabbage" as an adjective to mean cheap, so you can imagine the price.

In addition, it is rich in nutritional value.
Baicai deserves the reputation of being of good quality and low price.

In the cold winter in the north, cabbage can be said to be a gift from nature.

After being pickled into sauerkraut, it has a unique flavor.

It’s just that the food that takes time to make, you can’t be impatient.
You need to wait quietly.

Li Rui planned to pickle the fish at the end of November and open the vat at the end of December.
When eating, it is very suitable for stir-frying, hot pot, making dumplings, and stewing meat.

"Boss, where should we put the big vat?" Comrade Ma Jinge had already helped unload the cabbages and was picking up a large vat by himself.

"Put it inside." Li Rui pointed to the door at the other end of the yard.

After he came, he took a quick look and found that there was no central heating in the rural areas of Jianghai in winter. The bungalows in the courtyards were heated by natural gas. Of course, there was no difference in temperature from outside without burning gas.

The temperature is low and the spoilage microorganisms are inactive, so it is more suitable for pickling vegetables.

Six large cylinders,

There is no problem in pickling hundreds of sauerkraut.

Xiaodong reminded us of the weather conditions in recent days. It was basically sunny and the wind was not too strong.

Just let it dry in the sun for three or four days.

When drying cabbage, if you put it on the ground,
The cabbage needs to be turned over frequently during these few days.

Li Rui prepared a few racks with hollowed-out parts in the middle, so he didn't have to come over before the clothes were dried.

With Ma Jinge's help, the work was completed quickly.

Before twelve o'clock, all the cabbages were dried.

"Xiao Ma, put the cat away and call it a day." Li Rui called to the employees.

"Okay boss."

Fat Orange and Sanhua got on the car after a brief shout.

Li Rui touched the cat's head.

More than a month ago, two cats came up in the same way.

Because Little Naitang was holding on to Little Ma's trouser legs, he got into the car with Little Ma without being called.

"Boss, what do we have for lunch?" asked Ma Jinge.

Li Rui wanted to learn from other restaurants. "Is there any famous restaurant in Jianghai? I can have something good for lunch."

"An ordinary food lover?" Xiao Ma tilted his head.

“Other hotel restaurants.”

"How is Taihe Building?"

When Li Rui heard Ma Jinge talking about Taihelou, he actually had some impression of it. He remembered that the name of this restaurant appeared in his own comment section.

Li Rui also checked it at that time.

The restaurant is quite old and has a good reputation in Jianghai City.

"Then it's Taihe Building."

After the two of them sent the cat away, it was almost one o'clock when they arrived at Taihe Building.

The results of the fans and netizens’ vote yesterday have come out.

Be the first in line early.

Li Rui pondered for a moment and found that there were indeed many delicious foods that could be prepared for breakfast, including pancakes, fried dough sticks, soy milk, several kinds of pasta, and pancakes with braised meat.
There are so many things I know that one person really can't do it all.

Unlike the system that recommends task dishes, you only need to prepare them step by step.

You need to think carefully about operating your own business.

The two walked towards the restaurant, one in front and one behind.

Seeing customers coming, the waiter at Taihelou bowed slightly and showed a standard smile on his face.

Professional and enthusiastic:
"Welcome to Taihe Building. May I ask if you are two?"

As a fellow restaurant worker, Li Rui knew that the waitress must not have eaten at noon. So he felt particularly sympathetic towards the waitress. He smiled and nodded.

"Yes, two people."

"Okay, please come this way." He walked through the bustling crowd of diners in the restaurant on the first floor.

The waiter took Li Rui and Xiao Ma to a seat by the window.

Then a menu was handed over:
"Do you need me to introduce our restaurant's dishes?"

Li Rui took the menu and said, "Don't bother, we'll take a look ourselves."

Then I looked through it with Xiao Ma.

Taihelou’s menu is very rich, as it features Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and the hotel’s own original dishes.

"Boss, I think this dish is the most expensive. Let's eat this."

Xiao Ma pointed to a dish called jar meat and said.

Li Rui looked at the price, 268 yuan.

I can't help but sigh that this employee really doesn't want to save money for the boss.

But Li Rui really wanted to see the craftsmanship of Taihelou.

As you can see from the pictures on the menu, this jar meat dish not only contains pork elbow, but also sea cucumber and abalone. If the ingredients are carefully selected, it is really worth the price.

So he agreed to Xiao Ma's request and ordered from the waiter:
"Okay, then I'll have one serving of jar pork, twice-cooked pork, and stir-fried organic cauliflower."

"Ok."

The waiter confirmed the dishes again and then started talking quietly using the headset.

It could be conveying an order, or something else.

Wait for the waiter from Taihelou to leave,

Li Rui also spoke his heart out to the employees in his store:

"Xiao Ma, I brought you here not only for the food, but you also have to learn how the waiters do it."

Xiao Ma's expression looked disdainful.

"Ask her if she has ever been a reporter?"

Li Rui was also impressed by her and thought: Yes, she has never hit anyone.

But for the employees that I recruited myself, I had no choice but to accept it.

Then Li Rui said:
"By the way, I see everyone has headphones, do you need them?"

The pony looks very happy:

"Yes, yes."

"I just threw my headphones into the washing machine yesterday. Boss, please help me get a pair of Apple wireless headphones. I only want the left one."

"It's not really a Bluetooth headset, strictly speaking it's a walkie-talkie."

Li Rui shook his head and continued:
"It's for serving food. Look at what the waiter over there is wearing. If you need, I can buy you the same one. I might be very busy in the next few days."

Majingo stood up and looked at the waiter not far away.

I saw a black thing on the little girl's ear.

She didn't like it.

So he curled his lips,
"Boss, just shout louder. I can hear you."

At the same time, at the Taihe Building counter,
A woman in a dark blue uniform glanced secretly in Li Rui's direction.

Then he hurried into the kitchen.

"Master Zhang, there's someone visiting the store."

Zhang Guohua was busy teaching the young man who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen a lesson, scolding him for being a useless person who only wanted to cook all day.

After hearing the manager's words, he turned his head.

But Master Zhang's mood had not yet changed, and he was still a little angry when he spoke:

"What's wrong with those who visit the store? Where did this internet celebrity come from?"

Master Zhang has a high status in Taihe Building. The manager briefly explained:
"He is not only a shop scouting expert, he can also cook and even opened a small shop."

"Oh?" Zhang Guohua became interested. "How is his level?"

Manager Tao has eaten the stir-fried dishes made by Li Rui in the small bungalow restaurant.

She recalled a little.
“It feels similar to you.”

Zhang Guohua nodded, "That's quite a level."

"I'll cook whatever he orders myself."
