Dare to cook

Chapter 166 First... first love feeling
After a period of intense and friendly negotiations, the four of them finally decided on tomorrow's menu and dosage.

Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, dry-roasted fish, fried crab in typhoon shelter, spicy chicken wings, West Lake beef soup, purple sweet potato rose cake, deep-fried fresh milk and Yangzhou fried rice.

These nine dishes are the dishes that Yao Yu and the others will focus on tomorrow.

Among them, four dishes, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, dry-roasted fish, and fried crab in typhoon shelter, are cooked by Yao Yu.

Among the remaining five dishes, except for the Yangzhou fried rice, which was cooked by whoever was free, Lu Chenyu was responsible for the rest.

Bai Yuanchu and Zhao Jingxi had no objection to this arrangement.

……

June 5.clear.

This morning, after breakfast, Yao Yu, Yang Rui and others went directly to Qindao University City.

After arriving in the university town, Yao Yu quickly found a temporary shop allotted to him.

Their temporary shop is facing a residential area.

And next door, only one wall away from the small shop, is Qindao Media College.

It is said that there are many sister papers studying in the Media College.

Yao Yu and the others also took this into consideration, so they added two desserts, purple sweet potato rose cake and fried fresh milk, to the menu.

When Yao Yu arrived at the shop, it was still early.

At 07:30 in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the nearby streets.

Today is May 5rd, and the vast majority of office workers and student parties are soaking in the rare long vacation and will not come out for food activities too early.

Not long after Yao Yu came to the store, he took the store key from the waiting staff.

Open the store door and walk in to take a look.

Yao Yu found that the layout here was similar to that of an ordinary fast food restaurant.

However, the tables and chairs are all wooden, which looks more textured.

In the corner facing the store door is a one-square-meter cash register.

Behind the cash register is a row of disinfection cupboards and wine racks.

The restaurant has a dining area of ​​about [-] square meters, with a total of [-] tables.Each table can accommodate up to four people.

In addition, behind the door of the small shop, there is an awning and several plastic tables.

These tables can be placed outside the store door to increase the dining area.

Yao Yu looked around, then walked towards the back kitchen.

In the back kitchen, there are two double-burner gas stoves, a water table, a steamer, two refrigerators, and a work table with an area of ​​about 2 square meters, which is used to store oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and side dishes.

After Yao Yu went around the inside and outside of the shop, Lu Chenyu, Bai Yuanchu and the others rushed over one after another.

Bai Yuanchu still had a straight face.

He looked around the environment and said, "I don't think we'll have an easy win this time."

"Why?" Yao Yu asked.

"Because at the intersection 200 meters to the east of us, there is a small shop that specializes in western food." Bai Yuanchu said, "The contestants in that small shop are Ji Xun, Peng An and two French chefs."

Ji Xun is the fifth chef on the jade food list.

Before Yao Yu was on the list, Ji Xun was ranked fifth.

Later, Yao Yu went all the way to the top of the list, while Ji Xun still ranked fifth.

Then, Yao Yu retired and Ji Xun was fifth.

Lu Chenyu made his debut, and Ji Xun was still ranked fifth.

Since six years ago, no matter how the jade food list is updated, Ji Xun has been able to rank fifth.It is quite miraculous to neither advance one place nor be squeezed one place behind. It is always as stable as an old dog.

As for Peng An, he is the 82nd chef on the jade food list, and he is considered a very good guy.

Yao Yu knew that Ji Xun had always been good at Western food.

He is the only Chinese chef on the jade food list who runs a western restaurant all the year round.

This time, Ji Xun not only cooks western food, but also has two French chefs to help, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the competitiveness of Ji Xun's shop.

After all, in the eyes of passers-by and diners, a western restaurant with foreign chefs will definitely taste more reliable and authentic.

Zhao Jingxi heard the words and said:

"If Ji Xun wants to cook Western food, let him do it. Not everyone likes to eat Western food."

Bai Yuanchu shook his head and said:
"It's not just Ji Xun who is in trouble. To the west of our store is a small store owned by Ling Zhaochi Group. Since their store is located next to the subway station, they plan to focus on fast food, which will also intercept a lot of customer flow."

"In the south of us, 300 meters away, is the Indian flying cake shop opened by Zhu Xingchen and several Southeast Asian chefs."

"There are almost no restaurants serving Indian food in Qindao. One popping up out of nowhere will definitely be very attractive."

"Pfft...Old Zhu going to throw Indian flying cakes? It's unimaginable." Yao Yu couldn't help laughing.

After hearing this, Lu Chenyu and Zhao Jingxi became a little worried.

Ji Xun, Ling Zhaochi, and Zhu Xingchen are all powerful chefs.Moreover, their shop happened to surround Yao Yu's shop in the middle.

If the nearby passenger flow is really intercepted by them, the situation will be very serious.

Seeing that the two were worried, Yao Yu comforted him:
"Don't think so much. It's useless to think too much. Let's start business according to the established plan. If the effect is not good, we will change the strategy tomorrow."

Lu Chenyu nodded and said, "We have to do this first."

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the organizer sent the ingredients needed by each group to temporary shops in various places.

After the ingredients were delivered to the shop, Yao Yu and the others began to prepare the dishes.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Zhao Jingxi hung up the shop's signboard.

At the same time, Yao Yu and Bai Yuanchu also moved a double-burner gas stove and a plastic table outside the store, and set up a canopy at the store entrance.

Next, Yao Yu will refine the secret red oil at the entrance of the small shop.

He believes that as long as the scent of the secret red oil spreads, it will definitely attract diners.

The streets in the University City were swept clean.

Flying dust is barely visible.

When Yao Yu started to refine the secret red oil, bursts of tantalizing fragrance began to spread.

That smell attracts passers-by's glances from time to time.

Finally, a few university monks who had not returned home for the holidays were captured by the aroma and came over curiously.

"Brother, what kind of food are you cooking? Why is it so delicious?" A four-eyed brother with a chicken nest head came to the small shop and asked.

Yao Yu is only 25 this year, and he looks quite young, standing with college students does not show the slightest age difference.

Hearing the question from the four-eyed university monk, Yao Yu said with a smile:

"I'm not cooking. I'm just refining red oil. However, this red oil can be used to make mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork. The taste is quite good. Do you want to try it?"

Seeing that some people still hesitated, Yao Yu said again:

"Don't worry, I'm a professional chef, and I cook delicious food."

"Have you heard of the famous chef competition? I came here to open a small shop, and I was actually competing."

"During the competition, we can advance to the next round only if we sell enough dishes."

"Old friends, meeting is a fate, why don't you support it. Let's have a mapo tofu and twice-cooked pork. It's high quality and cheap. You can't buy it at a loss, and you can't be fooled."

After saying this, Yao Yu felt that he had great potential to be a salesman.

However, several university monks still hesitated.

Because they just heard from the students in the department that there is an Indian bakery nearby.

Originally, these people planned to taste Indian flying cakes.

And at this time, when they were vacillating, the youthful, beautiful, and slender Zhao Jingxi came out and said, "Yao Yu, Bai Yuanchu asked me to ask you, should I give you the side dish for making mapo tofu?" Bring it over."

The appearance of Zhao Jingxi seemed to add a touch of color to the black and white world of the university monks.

The four-eyed brother of Jiwotou seems to have found the feeling of first... first love in an instant.

He hurriedly said: "If you want it, we want to order mapo tofu..."

aside.

Yao Yu was speechless when he heard this.

Xin said that he spent a long time trying to attract customers, but it was not as effective as Zhao Jingxi's simple appearance.
