《Little chef》37-Open for business
Advertisement
After the name of Ying Chun restaurant was changed to West District Restaurant, many people were paying attention to the changes in this restaurant.
No matter how the business of this restaurant was, it was the largest restaurant in the West District, a prestigious point to note.
Now with the new name, people in the West District felt it was more meaningful.
In recent days, the West district Restaurant has been buzzing with people but they weren't guests, they were uncle Song from the grocery store and Butcher Zhang.
They sent over rice, wheat flour, pork, and chicken.
And the amount was not small.
What surprised Su Tang the most about this restaurant was that there was a small ice cellar in the basement of the restaurant's backyard which could simply store the ingredients.
No wonder the Ying Chun Pavilion outcome cost so much that the previous Boss was scared away. The cost of maintaining this small ice cellar was not low.
But this wasn't a big problem for Su Tang. There was an ice cellar and many things could be made and stored away.
Of course, there was no hurry. The most important thing now was to let West District Restaurant open for business.
Today was the time to try the dishes.
And the first one who would cook wasn't Mr. Hao but Su Tang.
The people present also know Su Tang's skills, although they haven't seen it with their own eyes they knew she was already in the top 30 of the God of Cooking competition.
It means dozens higher than Mr. Hao Quan Kun!
Su Tang saw that the chef assistants had made preparations for all the dishes. When she started cooking she felt satisfied. They were worthy of being the chef assistants brought by Mr. Hao, their work was nimble.
A few days before opening for business, she prepared these four dishes and one soup as well as steamed rice in a large steamer and the wheat flour had been made into noodles.
Rice and noodles were fine.
But cooking the four dishes was the most crucial.
Besides the complicated step of making mushroom chicken bites, everything else was very simple.
The stir-fried vegetables shouldn't be cooked for too long and other dishes like spicy tofu and stir-fried pork with chili cooking just needed to be put into a large pot and everything ready to be served.
Su Tang's table designed by a blacksmith was the same as the serving table in the modern cafeteria but the customization needs time and it was estimated to be finished in half a month before they could bring it over.
This was for another time.
Now Su Tang was making stir-fried pork with chili. What she was making was not a single portion but more than a dozen portions.
Therefore great strength was needed.
Mr. Hao and the four chef assistants had never seen such a scene. They always cook dishes one portion at a time.
This kind of cooking with enormous portions at one time was only done by rural people with a large population.
Would it really taste good if she cooked it like this?
But Su Tang's movements made them realize that she was very experienced.
First, put the cut meat into a large wooden basin, thicken the sauce with flour and eggs, after all, mix enough then bring a large wooden basin of green chili.
Just need to take the right amount for a portion every time they need to stir fry it again for the guests.
And the last stir-fried was to cook the meat enough and the smell would spread out deliciously.

Mr. Hao immediately understood Su Tang's meaning.
Originally, he thought that the so-called four dishes and one soup should be fried one by one which was too troublesome.
But Su Tang means they just need to prepare all the dishes and wait for the guests to come to eat.
This was the best way for guests with not enough time to wait.
Of course, this method wasn't just unique.
But the only one in any restaurant.
After all, what people understand about restaurants is to sit down, enjoy and eat slowly.
But Su Tang completely smashed the idea.
Restaurants could also be for convenient service.
There was no need to sit down and chew, it wasn't just a classy restaurant.
This idea seems normal to modern people.
After all, many restaurants in modern times have only for the sake of convenience, there was no such thing as going out to eat at a restaurant concept nowadays.
But the ancient people were different. In ancient times, ingredients were scarce and commerce wasn't very well developed.
Many people eat a meal in a restaurant every day and that was something they could brag about for half of their lives.
The previous Ying Chun Pavilion was also in this manner, otherwise, it wouldn't need to set up an ice cellar in the restaurant.
And Su Tang would do the opposite.
She was all about making restaurants fast or rather opening convenient restaurants in the West district.
Would she build a five-star hotel too on a construction site? There's no way.
This was the reason, even if workers on the construction site had money to eat, they couldn't eat while working because that would require them to sit and eat; it won't work for them.
Just able to take a bite or two and back to earn money.
While everyone was deep in thought, Su Tang wiped the sweat on her head and made stir-fried pork with chili.
Then cooked the rest of the dishes.
And Mr. Hao also reacted and followed suit. What Su Tang did was improve the processing method of ingredients to make the food more delicious.
Four dishes and one soup were finished and the mung bean soup next to it was also boiled.
The mung bean soup was made not too thick. The main reason for this soup was to relieve heat in the early summer and everyone loved to drink mung bean soup in the hot summer.
Today was a trial dish and Su Tang would tell them how to operate.
The four wooden pots of stir-fried dishes were all brought into the hall and placed on a table on the side of the hall.
Su Tang asked everyone to line up to serve their own four dishes and one soup.
The carpenter had already brought the first batch of one hundred wooden trays at this time. Su Tang asked her staff to take the wooden tray first and then lined up while she stood on the other side of the dishes.
Su Tang said, "I will serve you the dishes. "
And then she took a big spoon and served the rice and four dishes on the tray.
The main dish was mushroom chicken bites so the portion was a little bit more than the other dishes and every gap on the tray was just right.
But it's not over yet. After Su Tang filled the dishes, Li Fan put the mung bean soup in a wooden bowl in another corner of the tray that had a perfect hollow for the wooden bowl.

And thus, a fifteen wens lunch set was ready.
The four dishes look attractive in color and the rice was full to the brim. If the guests don't want rice they could change it into noodles.
Everything was the guests' own choice.
There were eight people inside the restaurant, plus Su Jing Hang.
All nine of them sat down to have a meal and it took less than half an hour.
Everyone has four dishes and one soup, enough for a healthy adult to eat.
Most of the people living here were poor and they could understand that at the moment they were transporting goods on the pier then they had to hurry to drive the cart.
They just had a little time for lunch but they needed to have nutritious meals. Wouldn't that be better than just nibbling some pastry, eating a bowl of noodles with light soup?
Nowadays was a good time to earn more money. As long as they work hard, they would have some more money in their hands.
Such a convenient and cheap meal was the best choice.
Which family does not care about the backbone of the family, if their families know that there was such a good and convenient restaurant, they would also let them come over to eat.
Su Tang saw that they were all stunned and said, "Try it quickly. Although we make a big pot of rice, we should also ensure the taste is good."
After she said that everyone was eager to try the dishes.
Some of them choose noodles and the rest choose rice, but regardless of what they had chosen, everyone seems too obvious about one thing.
No wonder Su Tang asked everyone to leave some soup when making mushroom chicken bites!
When the soup was poured on rice or noodles it was very delicious!
The smooth and tender tofu makes everyone almost bite their tongue off.
With a big pot of steamed rice, why was every dish so delicious?
Stir-fried pork with chili, even the chili itself was delicious! The chicken skin from the mushroom chicken bites was also delicious and if people felt grease from eating the meat they took a mouthful of the vegetables to make the mouth feel refreshing.
Spicy tofu was the most delicious.
Able to eat this kind of meal set every day not to mention the taste and how many different kinds of dishes we could choose; basically it was the best and full of nutrition!
Su Tang saw that everyone finally understood her plan so she continued, "If someone is still not full, they can add more rice for a wen and give them half a ladle of the soup too."
Everyone's eyes lit up after she said that.
In this way, it takes into account those who eat a lot!
People won't get tired even if they just eat a bowl of rice, just this soup mixed with rice alone was enough for people to ask for a second bowl.
To be honest these fifteen wens were actually not really cheap for a meal set.
However, it was worth it with so many dishes inside a meal set that was more than enough for people to eat until they were full.
There were a lot of manual laborers in the pier and West District, they had enough money to buy a meal set.
After the staff finished eating, they didn't care anymore about what other people outside would say.
The people inside the West District Restaurant had believed that this restaurant business would be profitable and now they had completely trusted their new Boss.
Su Tang finally felt relieved.
Within a few days after she took over the West District Restaurant, she had actually spent a lot of money and not to mention the rent at the end of the month.
She was afraid she would need to take all the money she earns from the breakfast shop if she couldn't make a profit here.
But gladly everything turned out well as she had expected.
After she had turned her small restaurant into a breakfast shop, she also had a thought of opening a fast-food restaurant.
That was when she found out what kind of customers most of the West District was, they worked diligently every day and had money to spend.
So they were willing to spend more money to be able to eat better.

But right now there was no such restaurant in the West District.
The West District restaurant, also known as West District Fast Food, was perfect to fill this gap.
According to Su Tang's observation, life in the Cang Qin dynasty has improved in recent years and so the people have been living better too.
But people weren't used to drastic changes in a short period and there was no advanced commercial in culinary to catch up.
Only when there was money and nowhere to spend them will that happen.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be able to catch such a perfect opportunity. Even if it wasn't as good as in her previous life, it wasn't that miserable.
It could be seen that Su Tang's decision to open a fast-food restaurant was a great resolution.
It was after she observed the people for a long time and made plans.
Only after knowing what people needed the most that a restaurant could be opened and it wasn't just for restaurants but also any shop.
West District Restaurant would also officially open after this trial.
Don't look down on Su Tang, in fact, everything she did was just needed five days after she took over the restaurant.
She has always been organized to get things done, which was why she was able to integrate the restaurant so quickly.
All the staff in the West District Restaurant had been long convinced by her.
Obviously, she was a woman younger than any of them but she was more mature and reliable in doing business than Boss Zhang.
Su Tang was very respectful to all her employees, she never scolded or bossed them around.
They kept Su Tang's attitude in their heart and just by working harder could they repay their boss's kindness.
And everyone was ready.
Whitelist us. Ad revenue gives additional support to the translator and keeps the site running.
Waiting for the opening day of West District Restaurant, whether this new system would be popular or not depends on the opening day!
Su Tang also asked the accountant to write an auspicious red paper for the opening of the business early and he could post it out by ten o'clock tomorrow morning!
She believes that the meal set would definitely be welcomed by everyone!
West District Restaurant was a restaurant for West district people! Let the restaurant not just be for people with social class! Let everyone afford to eat and let everyone eat well!
