The Royal Kitchen of the Entertainment Circle

After a whole day and a half of work, "One Restaurant" in Santa Monica Beach is finally ready to open.Early in the morning, everyone gathered on the first floor and counted some of the long-lasting ingredients purchased yesterday, as well as the fruits used to make drinks in the refrigerator, scratched a tick behind the corresponding ingredients on the list, and recorded quantity.

Ning Qianzhou was naturally the one who did these things. As the lobby manager, he had to fully understand these things in detail.Guan Xuyang glanced around, the whole person lost his usual gentleness and elegance, like a sharp knife that had been sharpened, exuding a sharp breath, and those beautiful peach eyes were indescribably cold.

"Suman, Bailing, you two are busy at the bar today. How are you doing with the drinks you prepared for the guests? Are you confident in yourself?"

Suddenly, Guan Xuyang began to roll the roll.

Without the politeness and gentleness before, it is completely the attitude of the store manager towards the employees.

Everyone who felt relaxed at first raised their chests and tensed their bodies.The two women who were named said in unison: "Have confidence!"

Suddenly, he yelled loudly, and the men around him trembled, but when they remembered how Guan Xuyang, the only lady, was severely trained by Guan Xuyang yesterday, and taught them how to make drinks, they gave them a full understanding.

After all, not everyone can accept the torture of the devil Guan Xuyang.

Suman and Bailing, who received sympathetic looks from everyone, were smiling, but their hearts were too bitter, and they reflexively remembered how they drank a lot of water yesterday.

If you fail once, drink it yourself, who can bear it? Hey!

Guan Xuyang turned his gaze, "Wang Chunxia, ​​have you posted your face yet?"

Wang Chunxia stood up straight and said loudly, "It's already in the basin! You can use it immediately after buying the vegetables."

After asking everyone about the work at hand, Guan Xuyang nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, "Let's go, take advantage of the early time, and leave two things to prepare blackboard paintings and plaques, and everyone else will follow me Buy the ingredients first."

After some questioning, the two ladies stayed behind, while the men went shopping by car.Sitting in the car, Guan Xuyang took a long shopping list from Ning Qianzhou's hands, recalling what he needed in his mind, checking for omissions and filling in vacancies.In fact, most of the work was almost done yesterday.

For example, rice, melons and fruits, and root and tuber ingredients that can last for a long time. Today they mainly come to buy fresh meat and seafood.The first thing they went to was the farmer's market. It was very early. When they went, the meat was unloading from the container. The bearded wholesaler saw them coming and quickly waved: "Hey, Yang, you came so early. ah!"

"Of course, if you want to buy the freshest ones, you must come to your place earlier." Guan Xuyang smiled flatteringly, revealing his eight big white teeth neatly, extremely sincere.

The bearded boss was even happier when he heard that, and said, "OKOK, I just like your straightforward temperament. Come, I can give you a discount on things."

Chief Financial Officer Ning Qianzhou quickly took over the conversation, "We can talk about the discount again. After all, we are not just for fun." Pointing to the camera at the back, Ning Qianzhou said bluntly: "Although the recording is only for one month. , but we will continue to open this store. So your discount..."

The hint is very heavy.

When the bearded boss heard this, he grinned and patted his chest: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it after a while, let's see how hard your store is getting goods before making a decision, shall we?"

The larger the quantity of goods taken, the greater the natural discount.

Ning Qianzhou smiled with satisfaction, and when he looked at Guan Xuyang, he was full of "seeking praise".

Guan Xuyang stretched out his hand to clasp the other's wrist, and rubbed his thumb twice on the inner side where no one was paying attention, but he was chatting with the boss with a smile on his face.

Maybe it was because of what Ning Qianzhou said, or maybe it was because they were caught by the camera. They didn't take much meat, but the bearded boss still gave them a very favorable discount, which can be regarded as saving a lot of money. up.

I bought the chicken, pork, and beef, and added a few big bone sticks that Guan Xuyang specially told the bearded boss to ask for yesterday.Fresh vegetables, green onion, ginger, garlic and other accessories were also bought. Guan Xuyang ticked off the list as he walked, and a few strong men behind him were carrying big bags, just like the servants who accompanied the prince to go shopping.

Watching this scene with the photographer, he laughed unkindly, and while they didn't find out, he found several obsessive angles and took a lot of pictures.

Everyone didn't pay attention to the small movements of taking pictures, and carried their things hard, making full preparations for the restaurant's first day of opening.

After buying meat and vegetables, the most important thing is seafood.

But with this number, several people struggled again.

Seafood does not need meat. If the meat is not used up today, they can still be stored in the refrigerator, or made into lo-mei before night.But there is no way to get seafood.After all, unlike other restaurants, their store has the equipment to raise them.

In other words, if they buy too much and the guests don't order it, then the seafood can only be wasted.

This money is big money.

Everyone stayed in place and discussed for a long time. Xu Jiaxuan and He Liangbing advocated buying less to avoid waste, but the three chefs had different opinions.

"But this place is different from China, and it's around the Santa Monica beach. What do you think the tourists who come here don't eat seafood? Are they here for meat?" Tang Can analyzed with an example: "This is the same as It’s like you don’t eat roast duck when you go to Beijing. Naturally, we will cook the most famous dishes for the most famous local dishes. This place is obviously a seafood paradise, and customers will naturally gravitate to this aspect. Besides, didn’t we make a dish yesterday? Seafood platter? Do you think it's not tasty?"

"This..., everyone hesitated, but Ning Qianzhou didn't participate in it at all. He fixedly looked at Guan Xuyang's serious thinking, and greedily brushed those bright red lips and slightly exposed teeth.

This man said that the father was right and the wife said that the woman was right. In the end, everyone still quietly waited for Guan Xuyang to make a decision.

"What Tang Can said makes sense, but today is also our first day of opening. The specific situation is still the lunch at noon. So, I will buy a smaller portion. How about sending someone out to buy it when there is not enough?"

In the end, Guan Xuyang chose to buy less. After all, the opening capital is only a little, so it's better to be careful on the first day.This decision was supported by everyone, and after half an hour, everyone returned with a full load.

Everyone has a very clear division of labor. After returning home, everyone hastily ate their late breakfast, and everyone did their own work.Of course, the most tiring ones are the four in the back kitchen.Guan Xuyang led the three apprentices to prepare the dishes in an orderly manner.

Wang Chunxia was kneading the dough in one corner, and Tang Can helped her prepare different stuffing for buns, including red bean paste, meat, and custard filling.Of course, food like shrimp dumplings is also indispensable, which has both seafood and Chinese characteristics.

Of course, the former was prepared by Guan Xuyang to give away for free on the beach, and it was made in a very small size, almost one bite at a time.

The purpose is to attract customers to eat here. When you arrive at the restaurant, you can recommend shrimp dumplings, right?

Tang Bihao was busy making the broth. While cooking, he cut the side dishes and stacked them neatly on the counter. The staff in the corner moved secretly while wiping their sweat, looking for I took a picture of this scene from an angle, and couldn't help complaining in my heart: I'm afraid this chef is obsessive-compulsive, right?

Cut a shredded green onion, shredded ginger, and shredded pepper, all neatly arranged.

They all face the same direction!

The kitchen space is not small, but except for two small windows, it is airtight all around.And because the soup is being boiled on the fire now, the temperature in the kitchen is even higher, and only the surrounding fans are blowing the wind to bring a little coolness.

Outside the house Xu Jiaxuan and Bai Ling tried to help in the back kitchen, but when they fully felt the heat, they quietly left.Xu Jiaxuan felt the cool sea breeze blowing in through the transparent glass window, and couldn't help sighing: "The chef industry is really hard. No matter which restaurant I go to in the future, no matter how bad the food is, I won't complain. .”

In his opinion, what is the difference between this working environment and moving bricks on a construction site?

A sun bath, a sauna, physical and mental torture cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.

Hearing what he said, Ning Qianzhou quickly put down the accounting book in his hand, and walked towards the back kitchen with long legs.

The sweltering heat is the only feeling Ning Qianzhou feels at this moment. Compared with the cool and comfortable sea breeze outside, this is simply a big oven. He has just walked in, and a thin layer of sweat has already appeared on his back, stained with There was a mark on his shirt, let alone Guan Xuyang who had been in the kitchen for nearly an hour.

Looking at Guan Xuyang's flushed face, Ning Qianzhou hurried upstairs to find a clean towel, and took a washbasin half full of water and came down.Just when everyone didn't understand what he was going to do, Ning Qianzhou went straight to the bar freezer, shoveled a spoonful of ice from it and put it in the basin to make the water cooler, then put the towel in and wrung it dry Moisture, go to the back kitchen.

"This... is for Xu Yang, right?"

"Well, why don't we get some for the other chefs too? I just went to the back kitchen and it was so hot." Xu Jiaxuan said He Liangbing nodded at him, "Then get a bucket of ice water and send it go in."

As he said that, he went upstairs to find a bucket.

Suman looked at Ning Qianzhou, who was in a hurry, with an aunt's smile on her face unconsciously, pushed Bailing's arm, secretly avoided the camera and turned on the phone, logged on to her Weibo account to continue her CP brain essays, while While writing it for Bai Ling to read, the two of them nestled in the bar and kept laughing, still an evil kind of smirk.

Suman, Bailing: Hey, hey, it's so fun and exciting to play real CP on the spot!
