I rely on food to dominate the two worlds

As the head chef of Sixi Building, Ni Zhengqing had a lot of prestige, and for a while, everyone in the kitchen didn't dare to make a sound.

"Why didn't you say such things when Tang Yongchang was still here?!" Ni Zhengqing gritted his teeth and asked.

"But the private chef of the Tang family used to be in the east of the city, so it didn't affect us..." someone whispered.

As a time-honored private restaurant, Tang's Private Kitchen has always been very prestigious in City A, and has always been on par with Sixi Building. However, Tang's Private Kitchen has always only targeted at high-end customers and mainly customized herbal meals, while Sixi Building's dishes It is more inclined to the taste of the public and has a higher cost performance, so the two are in peace.This time, Tang's private kitchen became famous through "Frontier Food", and the new store is just near Sixi Building. The vehicles on the road outside are all guests going to Tang's private kitchen. In the eyes, they all ran to join in the fun, which affected the business of Sixi Tower.

Although it is said that Sixilou has the golden signboard of Ni Zhengqing, Ni Zhengqing is only one person after all. It is impossible for such a large restaurant to make every dish by himself. There are more than 20 chefs in Sixilou, half of them He is Ni Zhengqing's apprentice, and the remaining half are recruited from the society. The cooking skills are inevitably different, and the tastes of the dishes are not uniform. Customers often report that the same dish sometimes tastes very good, and sometimes tastes delicious. Very bad.This also directly led to the low loyalty or stickiness of Sixilou's customers, which is why after the birth of Tang's private kitchen, it caused a large loss of Sixilou's customers.

"If each of you cooks well enough, will the customers still run away? There are only two cooks in the store, and one of them is not full! You are so old, you can't even compare with a child, not on your own Find the reason, you will complain all day long! If you are inferior to others, you have to admit it!" Ni Zhengqing looked at all the people present with piercing eyes. For those who think the same way, his scolding can be regarded as a shock.

Everyone immediately felt their faces burning, and they all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to say another word.

At this time, Zhao Sixi, the owner of Sixi Building, came to the door of the kitchen and said to Ni Zhengqing, "Old Ni, come with me."

Ni Zhengqing gave everyone in the kitchen a warning look, and then followed Zhao Sixi out.

"Old Ni, what do you think we should do?" Zhao Sixi looked at the restaurant with less than half of the seats, and his worried hair was turning gray.

"Old Zhao, don't worry, the reduction in passenger flow is only temporary." Compared with Zhao Sixi, Ni Zhengqing was obviously much calmer.

"Temporary? You haven't seen how prosperous the business of Tang's private kitchen is! The entrance of the store is blocked by all kinds of luxury cars. I asked Xiao Li to pack a meal for me yesterday. It is really delicious! If this continues , our store is really over!" Zhao Sixi was so anxious that he could hardly feel his brows, "I remember that your nephew seems to be in the Municipal Health Bureau..."

Ni Zhengqing frowned immediately, "Old Zhao, don't be so perverted! Their store is only so small that they can't handle such a large customer flow. Don't worry, they will have to take measures to limit traffic in a few days. Those Guests who are not in the queue will certainly not be willing to make a trip in vain, so they still have to come to our Sixi Building?"

Seeing that Ni Zhengqing's analysis was logical, Zhao Sixi had no choice but to suppress his anxiety for the time being.

Sure enough, Tang’s Private Kitchen quickly adopted the reservation system, which requires reservations through the WeChat official account to eat at the restaurant. Still not as prosperous as it used to be.

Looking at the depressed boss and apprentices, Ni Zhengqing thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his seniors, and then called Song Ying.

A few days later, the news that Sixilou's [-]th anniversary celebration banquet started to be booked made the headlines of major newspapers. "Frontier Food" also specially opened a special program for Sixilou, exposing several finale dishes in advance —— Immediately seal the Marquis, Jiang Taigong Yuqin and Imperial Concubine Chicken.

Immediately Fenghou is a famous dish handed down from the Qing Dynasty. It is made with Sanjiang salmon and Northeast Hericium erinaceus. The combination of two extremely fresh ingredients, water and land, is very unique.First cut the fermented Hericium erinaceus into thin slices, season with broth, salt, monosodium glutamate, green onion and ginger, etc., cover with plastic wrap and put it in a steamer to steam for an hour, so that the umami of the broth is completely absorbed by the Hericium erinaceus Absorbs and makes it softer and palatable.Cut the fish into oval slices, deep-fry in hot oil until golden, then put in broth and red wine, simmer over low heat, the fish is strong and fragrant, with a strong wine smell, plus the mountain delicacy of Hericium erinaceus itself The umami taste makes people completely intoxicated.

Jiang Taigong fish and celery is a very famous dish in Shandong cuisine. It is said that Jiang Taigong likes to cook it by himself after fishing. If he gets tired of eating the whole fish, he will fry the boneless fish and vegetables together, and then he will use fish and vegetables. "Fish Celery" fried with celery.The fish and celery are white and tender, and the celery is green and fragrant. After being freshened with Jinhua ham and chicken soup, the taste becomes more delicious.

Guifei Chicken is a dish created according to the drunken concubine. It is said that Concubine Yang Guifei was drunk one day, and she suddenly acted coquettishly and said that she wanted to fly to the sky. Chicken wings are made into a concubine chicken, which is tender and fragrant, and the concubine loves to eat it very much, so it has the reputation of "concubine chicken".

The recipes of the three dishes are much more complicated than the sea cucumber with scallions that Song Ying came to interview that day. It fully demonstrated Ni Zhengqing's skillful knife and firework. The three delicious dishes made countless foodies in front of the TV drool. , achieved a very good publicity effect.

Song Ying felt embarrassed because Sixilou served as a foil for Tang's private chef in the last show, and the [-]th anniversary celebration banquet of Sixilou was indeed a very good hit, so she made such a show programme.

In just two days, all 188 tables for the celebration banquet in Sixilou have been booked. Each table is priced at 3888 yuan, which can seat ten to 12 people. The per capita price of 300 yuan can be said to be very close to the people. Zhao Sixi can already imagine The store was full of seats on the day of the store celebration, and a smile finally appeared on the face of worrying for many days.

This time the store celebration banquet is tantamount to fighting with the private chef of the Tang family. With Ni Zhengqing and his brothers personally cooking, it can definitely be called a master-level feast. Xilou's reputation is bound to improve.

Zhao Sixi rubbed his hands excitedly, looking forward to the scene of Tang's private kitchen being empty on the day of the store celebration banquet.

-

It's a pity that Tang Shaoyan and Tang Huai didn't realize that Sixilou was fighting with their family at all, and they were busy further improving the store's operation.

Although the current appointment system has effectively relieved their pressure, it is not a long-term solution after all. There are many customers who are always not in the queue complaining every day, such as the fat man Du Xiaowei and his classmates, I used to come to Tang's private kitchen for lunch every day, but now I can't even get an appointment number. I haven't eaten delicious meals from Tang's private kitchen for almost ten days. I'm so worried that the little fat man lost a lot of weight , making Tang Shaoyan dumbfounded.

Now the business in the store is very good, with a daily income of around 20 yuan. The uncle and nephew discussed it and felt that the plan to rebuild the old store can be put on the agenda, and the other is to recruit people as soon as possible.

Although Tian Bula and the others are doing very well now, they are still students after all, and they will go back to school after the summer vacation is over, even Tang Shaoyan is the same.Before, they didn't expect that there would be such a day when there would be so many customers. They thought that the back kitchen could handle it with just the two of them, but now it seems that it can't.So they have to seize the time of one or two months to quickly recruit the right people.

The waiters need about four to six people, at least two for cutting and matching, and it is best to hire two chefs.

It's just that recruiting people is really troublesome. Not only must they have excellent professional skills, but they must also pass the test of character.Waiters and cuts are not too urgent, but chefs are in short supply. After all, there are only Tang Huai and Tang Shaoyan in the back kitchen, and Tang Huai is still distracted to receive guests and pay them.

"How about I call Brother Zhao and Xiao Jiang?" Tang Huai said after thinking about it.

The Brother Zhao and Xiao Jiang he mentioned were exactly Tang Yongchang's two apprentices, Zhao Guowei and Jiang Ziang.

Zhao Guowei is Tang Yongchang's big apprentice. He is nearly forty years old and has studied with Tang Yongchang for more than 20 years. It can be said that Tang Yongchang regards him as his half son. Although he is not as talented as Jiang Ziang in cooking, Tang Yongchang Yongchang still attaches great importance to him, and has even said many times that he will inherit the Tang family's private chef in the future.On the day of the fire, Zhao Guowei's wife had just given birth, and he was with her in the hospital. When he found out that Tang's private kitchen caught fire and the master died, he was so sad that he almost fainted.

Jiang Ziang is much younger than Zhao Guowei. At first, he was just a work-study assistant cook for Tang's private chef, but because of his calm personality and excellent culinary understanding, Tang Yongchang treated him differently, so he accepted He became a close disciple.Although he started late, Jiang Ziang only studied with Tang Yongchang for four or five years, but his cooking skills are also very good.On the day of the fire, he rushed into the fire to save Tang Yongchang regardless of the danger, but unfortunately he only rescued Tang Yongchang's body, and he himself had to be hospitalized for severe burns on his back. There were a large number of hideous scars.

After the funeral, Zhao Guowei said that without his master, there would be no point in staying in City A, so he returned to his hometown, while Jiang Ziang went to the imperial capital for skin grafting.

Tang Huai thought about calling the two of them. If they were willing to come back and help them revive the Tang family's private kitchen, they would definitely be able to relax a lot.

"Okay!" Tang Shaoyan naturally had no objection. The relationship between him and his father's two apprentices is also quite close, and he very much hopes that they can come back to help, so that the custom-made medicinal food that his father is proud of can also start making again. .Now that the medicated diet has the blessing of spiritual energy, the effect will only be better than in the past, and revive the past glory of Tang's private kitchen.
