Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

"Um... Old comrade, to be honest, I am a fellow apprentice of Chef Wang Yiyun of Fengze Garden."

"He invited me to Fengze Garden several times to be the second cook, and promised to let me be the first cook within three years."

He Yuzhu didn't know who was the person in the main seat.

But it doesn't stop him from bragging...

It’s not really bragging!

Yesterday, my senior brother called me and asked me to go to Fengze Garden to exchange cooking skills when I have time.

"Oh? You and Xiao Wang are brothers? No wonder you are such an excellent cook!"

"Then have you ever thought about working at Fengze Garden? The head chef has the opportunity to become a state banquet master!"

"Come sit down and talk~"

The person in the main seat immediately became interested.

Is there any chef who can resist the temptation of the state banquet master?

This young man is interesting!

"Old comrade, to be honest, I really want to go to Fengze Garden!"

"My family has been hired farmers for three generations. Masters Mou and Wang promised me that if I join Fengze Garden, they will let me host state banquets within a few years!"

"But! Oh..."

"I have worked in our factory for nearly ten years. Every time I see the workers smile from the bottom of their hearts after eating the dishes I cooked, I feel it is worth it!"

"I now believe that no matter where I work, I can shine and realize my own life value!"

He Yuzhu had an expression that was a mixture of reluctance and relief.

As a chef, who doesn’t want to become a state banquet master?

At the beginning of his rebirth, he was also very conflicted about whether to go to Fengze Garden to realize his ideal life in his previous life...

After careful consideration, I decided to give up this idea.

"Haha~ Young comrade, you have a very high level of ideological awareness!"

"If everyone does what you want, society will be more harmonious and beautiful!"

The person in the main seat gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

Not seeking fame or fortune is already better than most people!

"Thank you for the compliment. I am just a cook. I will be very satisfied if more people can eat the food I cook!"

"Hehe~ Actually..."

"I have a little selfish motive! Recently, I have envisioned a new model for high-priced restaurants, and I am applying to the higher authorities through our factory."

“If it can be passed smoothly, it will definitely allow ordinary people to eat more abundant food!”

There has been no news from Sister Fen regarding the application for the high-priced restaurant.

I guess it’s not going well!

He Yuzhu saw that this person's aura was stronger than that of even the biggest leaders.

Be prepared to give it a try whether there is any result or not!

What if he could help?

Even if he is unwilling to help, the result will not be worse than not being able to apply for an expensive restaurant!

The main person!!?

Expensive restaurants? That’s a perfect match for your profession!

If he didn't know that the two of them met by chance today, he would really think that this kid had planned it all along!

He looked at He Yuzhu meaningfully.

"Oh? What new model can a restaurant have? Isn't it just people ordering food and eating?"

"I happen to have some time now, why don't you talk?"

"This……"

He Yuzhu looked "very embarrassed", but he was actually very happy in his heart!

I’m not afraid of you asking, I’m just afraid of you not asking!

"What? Are you still worried that an old guy like me might take your job?"

"No, no! It's just that my mode, I guess you won't understand it if I tell you about it!"

"Just tell me! I think there is nothing in our country that I cannot understand, especially in terms of economy."

"Forehead……"

He Yuzhu found that this person seemed to be able to brag even more than himself!

Is there anything you don't understand?

good good!

I wonder if you've ever heard of a cafeteria!

"Old comrade, the new type of restaurant I envision is one that puts dozens of different dishes directly on display."

"Guests only need to pay once when they enter the store, and they can take as much food as they want, without any limit..."

He Yuzhu expressed the idea of ​​the buffet restaurant.

Unexpectedly, the man did not show any particular surprise, but just nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Little comrade, you said this style of dining should be called a buffet!"

He Yuzhu!!!

What's going on? How does this person know about "buffet"! ?

At present, probably only a few people like me, Sister Fen, Sister Fen’s father, and Deputy Director Li know about the buffet, right?

Could it be that he knows Sister Fen and the others?

Or……

Hiss~ Is this person also from another time?

He Yuzhu subconsciously took a step back and stared at him cautiously.

"Hehe~ You look surprised?"

"In fact, the buffet model appeared in China as early as 1910. That year, a large-scale rat/epidemic broke out in Northeast China..."

"In order to deal with this disaster, the Qing Dynasty specially convened an international plague research conference in Fengtian. At that time, 34 experts from all over the world came. It was difficult to satisfy everyone, so eating became a big problem!"

"Chef Zheng Xingwen, the catering manager of the organizer, has opened a buffet model that combines Chinese and Western dishes to take into account everyone's eating habits..."

"But as society changed, it was not passed down. It's not wrong to say that buffet is a new model you created. After all, it hasn't appeared in decades!"

"From a business perspective, self-service restaurants can save a lot of service costs and reduce the pressure on kitchen operations;"

“For diners, a buffet can serve a wide variety of food without waiting, which is a win-win situation!”

The person in the main seat had a serious face with a hint of pride.

The origin of domestic buffet restaurants is recounted.

He Yuzhu...

Offended!

"I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now!"

It turns out that buffet originated so early.

He always thought it started in the 1980s in his previous life!

"Little comrade, from what you said just now, you want to make the buffet restaurant a high-price model?"

"Would you mind telling me your thoughts?"

"Let's discuss this with each other~"

The person in the main seat was very satisfied with his reaction.

You mean I don't understand?

I'll understand one and show it to you!

"Yes, I want to apply for the buffet restaurant to become a high-priced restaurant!"

"Let the capitalists who earn fixed interest, senior intellectuals, farmers who sell agricultural products at high prices, cadres, doctors, senior workers... these families consume and eat."

"Because the price of the buffet model is destined to not be too low, ordinary families cannot patronize it frequently."

"The buffet restaurant is divided into two areas, the ordinary area and the high-end area..."

"The general area is 5 yuan per person, and there are about 20 dishes..."

"The high-end area is 10 yuan per person, and there are about 40 dishes..."

"The time limit is one hour, you must leave after one hour!"

"In addition, food waste is strictly prohibited. If you waste more than one tael of food, you will be fined 1 yuan, two taels of food, 2 yuan, and so on!"

Seeing that he knew so much, He Yuzhu simply told him everything he was thinking.

I thought the prices of 5 yuan and 10 yuan were too high, but he asked:

"Young comrade, isn't your price too conservative?"

"I think it should be at least doubled!"

"10 yuan for the normal area! 20 yuan for the high-end area!"

He Yuzhu...

I thought my pricing was already high enough!

I didn't expect you to be more cruel!
