Food Customizer

Several employees went to the sports and cultural center of Chengjian to play table tennis and billiards. Only Abao stayed in the lounge to broadcast live and drink tea with Su Chen and Shang Mingke.

There were not many people in the live broadcast room, only one.

Lu Yongliang was too anxious, so he directly connected to Abao's live broadcast room.

"Boss Su, hey, how are you these days?"

Su Chen was still in the dark. He didn't know that if Lu Yongliang hadn't added fuel to the fire, this matter would have been over.

"It's okay, how is the old man?"

"Fine." Lu Yongliang's voice was very loud, "When will you come to Hubei Province to play? I'll make you delicious food!"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I'll go when I have time."

In addition to tasting several old brands and copying a few recipes, the biggest gain from this trip was that Su Chen knew what Lu Yongliang did after returning to Hubei Province.

It doesn't matter whether the dish is famous or not, it's just that the new recipe is added with Su Chen's name, which is a good thing.

It's not that Su Chen is eager to enter the chef circle, but that thing can be used to show off!

Go back and buy that recipe, pick out that page and mount it on the wall, next to it is the state banquet master Lu Yongliang, how awesome!

"Uncle Lu, the guests have arrived, let's not talk about it for now." Shang Mingke waved his hand at A Bao's head, signaling A Bao to hang up the phone.

From the window, you can see that a car came into the yard downstairs.

An old lady in loose sportswear, followed by Wang Peixin.

Manager Wang was carrying large and small bags in his hands, and no one knew what was in them.

Su Chen looked at the old lady from a distance, "Old Shang, is everything okay? Why do I feel that this old lady is coming in aggressively?"

"It's okay." Shang Mingke suppressed a smile.

If there is any ill intention, it's not Cui Yufen, it's Lu Yongliang!

Shang Mingke could already tell what was going on in the few simple words just now. He knew his uncle too well, and Uncle Lu must have been instigating this.

‘Uncle Lu, you want to take down the Shandong cuisine in Beijing?’

Soon, Shang Mingke and Su Chen went to the door to greet the two.

Cui Yufen stood at the door and looked Su Chen up and down, “Young people are formidable!”

It was hard to imagine that such an ordinary-looking man defeated his apprentice.

Oh no, he even fought Master Lu to a draw.

Several people sat down, and Cui Yufen held her teacup, “Mr. Su, I heard about your cooking in Cuihualou. I wonder which school Mr. Su learned from?”

This was the question she had been thinking about on the way here.

Shandong cuisine and Hubei cuisine are not related, how could someone who can master both at the same time appear?

The key is that Mr. Su is still so young, and he has learned to cook since his mother’s womb, so this is the best, right?

"I don't have a master, I just like food and figure it out myself." Su Chen still insisted on what he said to Lu Yongliang last time.

This is also the truth.

Every progress is actually the result of Su Chen's careful practice and slow thinking in the practice room.

I don't have any cheats!

"Oh." Cui Yufen responded, thinking that this Boss Su is not honest, and he can't even ask about the master.

"I was out of town a few days ago, and I didn't know that such a master came to Beijing. I just came back and hurried to visit you with my apprentice."

Su Chen twisted his body. He was really uncomfortable being called by an old lady in her sixties or seventies.

And I always felt that this old lady was not as down-to-earth as Lu Yongliang.

"I'm really going to go back today, otherwise I should visit you." Su Chen said very politely.

Cui Yufen smiled, then suddenly his expression changed, he turned his head slightly, and even his tone became a little more serious, "Xiao Xin, what did you just say you wanted to ask Boss Su for advice?"

Wang Peixin: ? ? ?

I don't know!

I didn't say anything!

No, Master, why are you making it up?

"I mean, uh, that" Wang Peixin was sweating, "Oh, yes, I want to ask, why I have tried many times, but I can't get rid of the fishy smell of the chicken in an immature state, yes, that's it!"

Su Chen put down the teacup and said generously, "It's very simple. The critical value of chicken maturity is 53 degrees. Above this temperature, the meat will begin to react, but below this temperature, it won't. You can think of this as an accelerated version of soaking in cold water."

Ah?

Wang Peixin was stunned, "You mean, you turn the fire on and off from time to time just to keep the water at that temperature?"

Su Chen nodded, "Yes."

He was still a little unwilling to give up, "You mean, you don't use a thermometer, and then control the fire to keep the water at a constant temperature?"

Su Chen nodded again, "Yes."

Hiss!

I clearly saw it on the spot at that time, but why does it always sound like bragging now?

A Bao is not surprised by this. Boss Su used this trick to make fried chicken in Delicious. He also learned it for a while and now has learned 30% to 40%.

Glancing at the live broadcast room, there are still many comments in the live broadcast room with only one viewer!

Lu Yongliang's typing speed is not fast, but the voices he sent out are automatically converted into text.

[Lu Yongliang: What? Hurry up and start typing, why are you still studying recipes? ]

[Lu Yongliang: Master Su can control the temperature like this now? Bullfrog bullfrog! ]

[Lu Yongliang: You point the camera at Cui Yufen, let me see if she is angry, haha! 】

Abao turned the camera helplessly, feeling like he was Master's tool.

"Now that you've asked clearly, it's good. Your skills are not as good as others, so go back and practice hard." Cui Yufen said to his apprentice as if he was scolding him.

"That's what you said." Wang Peixin stood behind the master, not daring to raise his head.

After teaching his apprentice a lesson, Cui Yufen continued to chat with Su Chen with a smile.

On the way here, Wang Peixin mentioned that Su Chen had a company in Jingzhou, and Cui Yufen felt it was strange at the time.

Why does the chairman of a company have such superb cooking skills? Is this reasonable? Could it be that the chairman of their company cooks the food himself?

Out of curiosity, Cui Yufen asked Wang Peixin to check the company online.

I didn't find out the specific situation, but I did find the company's Douyin account. The screen was filled with messages that made the old lady say in the car that this was not a serious company!

Fortunately, there are still several cooking videos in the account. After watching them repeatedly, the old lady is certain of one thing. This chairman really has two skills.

Cui Yufen was even more surprised when he learned more about the company's business.

How can anyone here open a restaurant like this? If you do this, can you make money?

So compared to Su Chen's cooking skills, Cui Yufen was more surprised by what was in this boss's head?

With such good skills, if you just open a restaurant and cook a few signature dishes to build a reputation, won't the money just go into your pocket?

So Cui Yufen was very curious, "I heard that Master Xiao Su opened a catering company in Jingzhou?"

Su Chen didn't expect the old lady to talk to him about this, "It's a small company."

Cui Yufen took a breath and said, "Boss Su, I would like to ask a question. I also know a little bit about it. Can you please tell me that your delicious customization can only receive 2 to 3 waves of customers every day?"

Su Chen knew what the old lady wanted to say, "If it's a banquet with a lot of people, that's it."

"Fortunately, the rent in Jingzhou is not expensive and the salary is not high, so the company can still barely keep operating."

Well, it almost went bankrupt.

That's not what Cui Yufen wanted to hear. She asked, "Mr. Su, what I mean is, since you have such superb skills, why would you start such a company? Your skills can be used anywhere in the country." A top-notch restaurant.”

She didn't dare to talk about other dishes, but Cui Yufen dared to talk about the fried chicken with soy sauce that made her disciples stupefied. If this could be sold in Cuihua Building.

It won’t be a problem to double the flow of people!

Only people who are engaged in catering know how difficult it is for a restaurant to have a dish that is so delicious that I want to eat it again!

Hearing this, Su Chen paused.

He didn't know what to say.

To be honest, it wasn't just to clear out the inventory, and the company didn't have any individual customers at all.

Facing this old lady with a very high status, Su Chen decided to be patient.

"I have always felt that real gourmet food must be accumulated over time. When I come to this business, I don't care about how much money I make, but I just want to be able to make dishes that truly satisfy customers. This is my original intention."

Tsk!

Shang Mingke crossed his legs and pinched his chin. Seeing Boss Su say this seriously, he felt awkward no matter how hard he heard it!

Cui Yu laughed a few times, "There are not many people who can be as pure as Mr. Su. In that case"

Is the main event finally here?

Su Chen sat upright and listened carefully.

"It will be my birthday in a few days. A few days ago, Peixin and the others said they wanted to set up a table for a meal at Cuihua Building. If I say that I really want to go to Cuihua Building, won't the other disciples be sad?"

"I have had many apprentices over the years, and all of them are thinking about celebrating my birthday."

"When I think about it, it's not appropriate to go to anyone's house. I'm still worried about this matter when I come back this time. In my opinion."

Cui Yufen turned to look at Wang Peixin, "This capital is not very far from Jingzhou. Let's go to Boss Su's place and save you brothers from having to quarrel!"

Wang Peixin said expressionlessly: "I will follow your orders."

In fact, my heart has long been numb!

Why are you blaming me again? We clearly agreed to go to Quanjude, and don’t you go there every year for your birthday?

Because Master Shi has worked in Quanjude all his life, Cui Yufen would go to Quanjude every year on his birthday. On several occasions, even the apprenticeship ceremony was held there.

"That's very welcome!" Su Chen, a client, was overjoyed before it was too late. He stood up and shook hands with Cui Yufen, "When is your birthday? How many apprentices are there? I can prepare in advance."

Cui Yufen smiled and said, "My birthday is about half a month away. I don't have many apprentices. Counting the last disciple I accepted this year, there are forty of them."

Su Chen:?

Cui Yufen added, "Many of them are busy elsewhere and may not be able to make it. Just count them as twenty."

Good guy!

Only now did Su Chen know that the old lady hadn't let him go, but that she was holding back a big trick!

Cui Yu's points were not finished yet, "I am a descendant of Mr. Wang Chunlong. When I came to the capital from Hebei Province, I learned Shandong cuisine, and my whole family has been Shandong cuisine. Since you are customizing delicious food, then Let’s eat Shandong cuisine then.”

Su Chen wanted to refuse.

This is when I go to someone else’s restaurant to cause trouble, and they also want to bring their apprentices to my company to cause trouble!

There are more than 20 Shandong cuisine masters, I dare not say all of them, at least half of them are prominent figures in the chef world. Going to delicious food to taste my Shandong cuisine is not putting people on the fire to roast them?

I, Su Chen, am not a fool!

I will never agree!

Seeing Boss Su open his mouth to speak, Cui Yufen held Su Chen's hand and patted it, "Boss Su, don't think too much about the budget. All of my apprentices are very rich! I asked them to contribute two thousand each, you Do you think it will work?”

Two thousand per person is not much to celebrate an old lady's birthday.

But for twenty people, that’s forty thousand!

According to the rules of Delicious Food, a 10% service charge will be added, totaling 44,000!

Su Chen snorted coldly, without even thinking about it, "Of course that's no problem! All the staff at Delicious Food welcome you all at all times!"

Cui Yufen nodded with satisfaction, chatted with Shang Mingke and others for a while, put down the gifts and left the Urban Construction Group.

As soon as the person left, Abao's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw the barrage in the live broadcast room.

[Lu Yongliang: What’s going on? Why didn't we start a fight? 】

[Lu Yongliang: Cui Yufen is very ruthless. Is he afraid that he can’t defeat him alone, so he wants to bring others to defeat Boss Su? 】

[Lu Yongliang: Damn it! Cui Yu belongs to this lineage and accounts for half of the Shandong cuisine chefs. This person is really ruthless! If I had known earlier, I really shouldn’t have teased you, hey! 】

[Lu Yongliang: It’s getting more and more lively. The old man also wants to celebrate Yufen’s birthday, hahaha! 】

Liu Abao quickly kicked the old man out of the live broadcast room, thinking you should stop talking.

If Boss Su finds out about this, you will not be in Jingzhou, but I will be!

Do you want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person?

After seeing off Cui Yufen's master and apprentice, Shang Mingke said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Boss Su, I didn't expect to cause you such a big trouble."

Su Chen shook his head, "This has nothing to do with you. I can refuse."

Shang Mingke said softly, "If possible, I will also give Mrs. Cui a gift then."

"Don't come and join in the fun!" Su Chen shook his head, "I'm afraid this may be a bit troublesome. Fortunately, there's only half a month left, so I have to get ready quickly."

"Boss Su." Lao Shang held his hand in a rare gesture, "If you can do a good job this time, I dare not say that your name and your company will be mentioned all over the country, at least in this part of the capital. "

Shang Mingke gave a thumbs up, "Come on!"

On the way back to Jingzhou, Su Chen simply asked everyone to buy business seats.

He didn't want to deal with those bad things anymore, he was already troubled enough now.

‘Shandong cuisine, Shandong cuisine’

‘It’s not just about cooking’

Su Chen felt like his head was going to explode. He tried his best to stay calm and decided to take a nap first.

Jingzhou City.

Seven days have passed. Ling Shuyu stood at the elevator entrance on the second floor, looking at the rough floor that had now turned into what she had planned.

"Mr. Ling, I just showed the videos and photos I took to the parents, and everyone was very satisfied." Director Li is also here.

In order to solve the problem of his son's study, he really took great pains.

For this decoration work, Li Mingtao contacted nearly 30 parents in the group. Whether it was materials or labor, almost all of it was done by the parents themselves.

In the end, the decoration of the 500-square-meter floor only cost about 500 yuan per square meter.

And the 250,000 yuan account was finally fully advanced by the parent in charge of the decoration. Ling Shuyu signed an interest-free loan contract with the parent in the name of the company, promising to pay it all off after one year. .

Under Ling Shuyu's urging, hundreds of workers worked almost continuously and completed the project in seven days!

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the overall simplicity of the decoration.

Except for tiling, which is a bit more laborious, almost all other work can be done with ready-made installations.

Since the completion of the project was announced, parents have come to take a walk from time to time. Some parents have even selected beds for their children and laid out the mattresses!

"Director Li, you have worked hard these days."

"It's not as hard as yours." Li Mingtao finally knew what it meant to be a workaholic.

Ling Shuyu has not been home at all this week. Often in the middle of the night, when the workers are just sitting on the floor to drink a glass of water, Ling Shuyu will take the elevator and come in leisurely from the 19th floor.

The workers all admired this little girl.

They work in two shifts, and this girl supervises two shifts by herself, so awesome!

If Ling Shuyu hadn't been keeping such an eye on him, the construction period would have been pushed back by at least a week.

Li Mingtao was still imagining that it would be easier for his son to study this time. When he came to work in the morning, he would take his child to kindergarten.

At noon, my son comes here to have a meal and take a nap, and then he brings it back to his son when he gets off work in the evening. It is perfect, even more perfect than before!

Thanks to Boss Su, he agreed to his plan.

Ling Shuyu's sudden words interrupted Li Mingtao's fantasy, "Director Li. If my guess is correct, your trial contract at Xinghui is about to end. It's time to make a choice."

Li Mingtao was stunned.

That's right, as Meili Lai's rent starts in the new year, his contract will be terminated immediately, and Xinghui's contract will be converted into a formal employment contract.

Well, it seems like it’s really time to make a choice!

So heavy!

"Well, I'll think about it." Li Mingtao had nothing to hide from Mr. Ling. When he was in Xinghui, Ling Shuyu threatened him with this matter.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Ling Shuyu looked at his watch.

"Ha, the boss and the others should be back."

"Well, then I'll leave first." Li Mingtao was very tactful. He didn't want to run into Su Chen at this time, and he was also afraid of embarrassment.

The two entered two elevators respectively, one up and one down.

Back to the 19th floor, Ling Shuyu touched his stomach, "Damn it, the boss has been hungry and thin these days without me!"

Seeing that I finished the 2nd floor by myself, the boss should at least make a good meal to reward me, right?

Well

Let me think about how to hint to him at that time!
