Chapter 186 The Birth of the Volume King

"Are there any three-packs left?"

"Yuyou, how long will it take for the next batch of San Ding Bao to come out?"

"All the steamers have been used, right?"

"Xiao Huang, please make another announcement in the ordering group. Our store has stopped accepting orders 45 minutes ago. Today, the number of Sanding Bao in the store is out of order, and there is no manpower to deliver takeaways. Also, let me emphasize, Sanding The bags are only sold until 1:30 noon, there won’t be a minute delay!”

"Hello, hello, I'm Huang Xi, the foreman of Yunzhong Canteen. Oh oh oh, the ingredients have been delivered, right? That's great, you guys arrived just in time. I'll have someone go out and get it now."

"Xiao Huang, Xiao Chu, you find two more people who don't know how to make buns to go outside to pick up the goods, and then change clothes and go into the kitchen to help with the ingredients. Is Xiao Liu back? I remember that she is good at making buns."

"It says it's only two subway stops away."

"Okay, everyone has worked hard today. Let's take action and don't lose track of your own links. Master Xiao Qin said that everyone who works normally today will get double wages, and those who come back from vacation will get triple wages. In a few days Master Xiao Qin is back in Suzhou, and our store team has a day off to relax in the hot springs. "

“…”

Under Huang Xi's arrangement, Yunzhong Canteen, which might have been so busy that it was so busy, prepared and served meals in an orderly manner. There was a long queue inside and outside the cafeteria. The queue to buy steamed buns stretched from the cafeteria to the road outside the cafeteria, and it was endless as far as the eye could see.

Among the people queuing up were gray-haired old men and women, healthy-looking uncles and aunts, the owner of the convenience store opposite, office workers who took half an hour off work early to grab the buns, and some who passed by without even realizing that everyone was grabbing them. What, but I am really free, so there are pure passers-by who join the queue, and there are also errand boys with important responsibilities.

When Sandingbao first became popular, Qin Huai did not expect that Huang Xi had no experience. Except for the purchase quantity of the first batch of steamed buns, there were no purchase restrictions at all.

Unlimited purchases made it cheaper for the hospital's orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, emergency, inpatient departments, and security guards. The errand boy returned with a full load. He hadn't even finished delivering the goods in one trip. When he returned after receiving the next batch of orders, , Yunzhong Canteen restarted the rule of limiting purchases to 5 per person.

The errand boy accepted this well and called the order owners one by one. The order owners were accustomed to it (the previous tangerine peel tea was subject to purchase restrictions) and canceled the order and placed another order.

Then the errand orders for the Yunzhong Canteen line became a real hit.

At 11:30, at least half of the queue were errand boys wearing yellow and blue clothes.

But this is just the beginning of the real buzz.

Because office workers in the office building near Yunzhong Canteen usually don't get off work until 12 o'clock or even 12:30, and the lunch break time is determined according to the company's level of conscience. It can be as short as an hour, as long as one and a half hours, or even as long as 40 minutes in the extreme. Those office workers are the main consumers of lunch and dinner in Yunzhong Canteen on weekdays.

It can be said that if Huang Xi hadn't planned well and arranged all the kitchen helpers and the waiters in the lobby who could help Qin Huai in the kitchen, he also applied to Qin Huai to double the day's salary and made a phone call to make today's meal. The employees who were on vacation were called back to work, and they also contacted the supplier in advance and asked the supplier to send another batch of three-pack of ingredients as soon as possible. Today's Yunzhong Canteen is probably going to be a mess.

These are all things Qin Huai knew Huang Xi had done.

Qin Huai, who was in the center of the storm and worked like crazy but not under much pressure: He really found a treasure when he recruited Huang Xi during the recruitment process!

After working at Huangji for such a long time, the best business philosophy Qin Huai has learned is that professional work should be left to professional people.

He is the chef and only needs to be responsible for making snacks.

Huang Xi is the foreman of Yunzhong Canteen. It is right to leave the arrangement and coordination of trivial matters to Huang Xi.

The same is true in Huangji. The chef is in charge of the kitchen and the foreman is in charge of the lobby. The only person who is not good at business but has a hard time is actually Huang Anyao. But this can't be entirely blamed on him. After all, he is the young master and can't cook. If he doesn't participate in some management affairs, the young master will really have nothing to show for himself.

The result of forcing Shaodong's family to participate in management affairs is that the marketing plan is extremely poor, the suppliers cannot be negotiated, and the sophora nectar purchased is not even as good as what Grandma Ding gets.

Sometimes Qin Huai deeply feels that Huang Anyao is not suitable to be the young boss, and Huang Anyao is suitable to be Xu Cheng - after gaining wealth, he eats, drinks, has fun and writes food reviews every day.

Although Huang Anyao doesn't know how to cook, he is quite good at eating. When talking about delicious food, he talks about it in detail.

Huang Xi is a qualified foreman, so Qin Huai is very relieved to leave all matters to her except making snacks. Even though the cafeteria and outside were overcrowded and there was a long queue, Qin Huai could calmly direct all the helpers in the kitchen in an orderly manner and deliver meals in batches.

Master Qin Huai works calmly.

The helpers were not calm at all.

Helper No. 1 Qin Congwen and Helper No. 2 Zhao Rong looked at Qin Huai's indifferent expression and skillful movements, and felt so distressed that they almost shed tears.

Qin Congwen was holding a basin and mixing the stuffing frantically. There were beads of sweat on his forehead because he had worked too hard. Zhao Rong, who was making the buns so hard that his hands were almost left with residual images, said with distress: "We have been in Huaihuai for more than a month. How much hardship have you endured during your time in Suzhou!"

Zhao Rong echoed wildly: "When did our Qin's breakfast shop ever sell so many steamed buns? Huaihuai always works for two hours and rests for one hour. Fortunately, he didn't listen to my brother and send Huaihuai to that smelly place. Look, Huaihuai was only in high school at that time, how much hardship he would have to endure if he was really sent away!"

Qin Congwen yawned and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah, luckily I didn't give it away. I could tell when Huaihuai came back, he was so tired and thin!"

"It's all useless to me. I'm not good at craftsmanship. I can't help Huaihuai knead the dough!" Qin Congwen wanted to beat his chest.

An Youyou, who has been standing next to Zhao Rong making buns:...

Is it because her memory is biased, or because Qin Huai is wearing more clothes now that the weather is getting colder, why does she feel that Qin Huai has gained weight instead of losing weight this time?

and…

An Youyou turned her right hand, which was a little cramped from making buns for several hours in a row, and glanced at Zhao Rong, who had made more buns than herself, and then at Zhao Rong, who was making buns before and was now frantically mixing the stuffing. Qin Congwen.

There are also Chen An and Li Hua who have been dicing and never stopped.

Pei Xing looked at several large pots and stared at the heat of the stuffing being cooked, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

Not to mention the other helpers who have no names, they will receive double wages today and additional commissions. Just looking at the sales volume and unit price of Sanding Bao, even someone who has failed math since the first grade of elementary school can imagine how high today’s commissions will be.

Although everyone knows, as an ordinary helper, you will definitely not get much commission.

but…

What if?

To be fair, Yunzhong Canteen does not treat its employees harshly when it comes to paying commissions. As a helper, An Youyou received a salary of 8,000 yuan last month because she worked long enough and received enough commission.

Inspired by money, everyone works very hard and can't wait to achieve 150% efficiency.

Under this situation, An Youyou felt that Qin Huai didn't seem so busy or tired.

Qin Huai is a master master and only needs to be responsible for technical work. The real dirty work is not his turn.

Thinking of this, An Youyou's eyes lit up.

Great, she will also be a master in the future!

In this way, she can put in the least effort, earn the most money, and one day be able to afford a house in Yunzhong Community and move in to become an owner. She no longer has to ride a battery car to work, but can walk to work directly!

An Youyou continued making buns excitedly.

Qin Congwen & Zhao Rong noticed that An Youyou suddenly became very excited:...

Did the kid drink coffee?

Next time, I have to tell Youyou that we, the breakfast seller, can’t drink coffee at this hour. It’s already very early to wake up at two or three in the morning, and our body can’t handle drinking more coffee.

By the time the sales ended at 2 o'clock, every employee in the Yunzhong Canteen was so tired that they almost collapsed on their chairs.

Huang Xi announced to the public that he would not sell three-packs after 1:30, but the kitchen could not really close at 1:30. The wrapped buns need to be steamed, the kitchen utensils and machines need to be cleaned, and the kitchen waste also needs to be disposed of.

Even Huang Ji, which has long been criticized for its business hours, stops taking orders after 1 p.m., and the chef usually has to wait until after 1:30 to get off work. Pei Xing felt as if he had returned to the time when he was an apprentice at Zhiweiju.

As a distant relative of the well-known Huaiyang cuisine master Pei Shenghua, Pei Xing entered Zhiweiju through connections and had a good master.

The price of being a disciple of a famous teacher is to get high grades, very high grades, especially for those disciples of famous teachers who are not talented enough to get in through the back door.

Those who are talented enough only need to work 12 hours a day, while those who are not talented enough have to work 13, 14 or even 15 hours.

And no matter who you are related to in the kitchen, you are all apprentices when you come in, and you are all disciples, relying on your craftsmanship to eat. Guanxi households with insufficient abilities are more likely to be laughed at, need to work harder, and are more likely to become the king of roll kings.

Pei Xing just couldn't bear to make snacks every day in Zhiweiju. He wanted to make snacks 366 days a year. When he felt that he had studied hard enough, he took a look at the days when his colleagues were studying harder than him, and then he made up his mind to go back to his hometown and find a job that paid more, was more leisurely, and was close to home.

In the end, the money was good, and it was really close to home, but it was leisurely...

Pei Xing admitted that the days when Qin Huai was away were indeed quite leisurely.

But today, Pei Xing felt that he was back on a familiar battlefield. He relived the hard years when he was an apprentice. Even what he was doing today was the same work he did as an apprentice. The master chef in the kitchen was also like everyone he saw when he was an apprentice. Like a master chef.

Calm, calm, gentle, and good at work.

Damn it, Pei Xing felt like he couldn't control his desire to get involved.

He was obviously very tired now, so tired that he just wanted to sit on a chair and rest. But when he saw Qin Huai standing up and walking towards the steamer, he just wanted to rush up and give Qin Huai a cup of tea and say: Master Qin is tired, please take a sip of tea and take a rest.

He didn't even want to talk about Master Xiao Qin.

Because Master Xiao Qin disrespects the craftsmanship of the master.

Pei Xing lay on the chair in pain, looked up to the sky and sighed deeply.

Li Hua, who was slumped in another chair:...?

Are you that tired? Can't it be rolled? Which master taught you?

Li Hua asked Chen An in a low voice: "What kind of tea does our Master Xiao Qin like to drink? Pu'er, Longjing, Tieguanyin or herbal tea? I remember that Master Xiao Qin is from Guangdong Province."

Chen An: "...I'm not sure about this, but if you want to drink herbal tea, Master Xiao Qin may prefer hand-made lemon tea."

Li Hua:? ? ?

Chef Xiao Qin, who loves to drink hand-made lemon tea, walked to the steamer and asked the helper who set the alarm clock to determine the time when the steamed buns would be cooked and asked when the last batch of steamed buns would be cooked.

The last batch of buns are employee benefits.

Everyone was tired all morning and noon. It can be said that there was no food or water. Qin Huai specially left the last batch of steamed buns for everyone to eat at once.

There is also tangerine peel tea. The tangerine peel tea is being boiled in the pot. If you want to drink a few cups, you can pack it up and take it home if you can’t drink it.

If the sandwich buns and tangerine peel tea are not enough, there are about 40 portions of stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata over there in the stew pot. Qin Huai knew that the taste of stewed pigeons with Gastrodia elata was average, but it had good curative effects. It was good for the eyes, as it nourished the food and improved eyesight.

The biggest problem currently with Gastrodia Stewed Pigeon is probably that the level of Qin Huai’s stewed pigeon is not very high, resulting in low buff generation efficiency.

Qin Huai's current stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata can only be made at D+ level, and cannot even be made at C- level.

If the heat is not good enough, the level of the stew is destined to not go up. Stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata is also Qinhuai's least popular dish in Huangji, with only forty or fifty copies sold every day. People who order this dish basically order it to take care of Master Xiao Qin's mood.

According to the meticulous analysis of Huangji diners, Chef Xiao Qin’s stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata does not taste very good. The ingredients are abundant, the price is very cheap, and it appears on the menu every day. It can be seen that Chef Xiao Qin himself likes this dish very much. Food.

Just because the professionalism is not correct, the quality of the dishes is not good. For Master Xiao Qin, stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata is not an ordinary dish, it is an interest, a hobby, and Master Xiao Qin’s pursuit in the red case.

Although it's not delicious, it's really good value for money.

Master Xiao Qin works so hard to make snacks for everyone every day. What’s wrong with having some hobbies?

It's not expensive. Is it difficult to order one to support Master Xiao Qin's interests and make him less disappointed?

According to informed sources, regular diners who live near Huangji have a special ordering group for Gastrodia stewed pigeon. There is a subsidy for ordering Gastrodia stewed pigeon at Huangji. The subsidy is so high that the group members can spend money on buying a pigeon at the wet market. For the money, I ordered a stewed pigeon with gastrodia elata.

There are only two thresholds for joining the group: proof of consumption at Huangji for more than three consecutive years, and a guarantee that you must order stewed pigeon with Gastrodia elata once a week.

According to another chef named Dong who did not want to be named, the leader of this group may be named Gong.

Putting aside this digression, Qin Huai felt that the buff of the Gastrodia stewed pigeon he made should have taken effect.

However, the buff for improving eyesight and calming the nerves is relatively abstract, and improving eyesight can be understood as relieving eye fatigue and making the eyes feel comfortable. Soothing the mind can be understood as being in a good mental state, and all of the above can be attributed to good rest, so people feel refreshed.

Everyone knows that stewed pigeons with gastrodia elata is a dietary supplement, but whether it is effective or not, and whether you believe it or not, everyone has their own opinions.

Qin Huai walked to the steamer: "The last batch of three...Ouyang?! Why are you here?"

Ouyang had been in the kitchen for a full three hours, squatting next to the steamer and never moved. He had set eight different alarm clocks on his mobile phone. Ouyang, who had been highly nervous the whole time for fear of missing the cooking time:...

"I've been here since 11 o'clock, didn't you see me right away???" Ouyang's questioning voice was heartbreaking.

"No." Qin Huai replied very honestly.

He was almost turning into a steamed stuffed bun fairy when he was kneading dough and mixing stuffing at the cooking table. He had no time to look at the steamer.

Among the complete technological process of making steamed buns, steaming steamed buns is the least technical part. Just put the buns in the steamer and steam them, and set the time. Anyone who can read an alarm clock can do it. Qin Huai didn't even look at Ouyang the whole time.

"When did you come?" Qin Huai asked.

"11 o'clock." Ouyang wanted to cry a little, "I came here when your store was full of people running errands. I wanted to see if there were any steamed buns that I could eat two of, but I didn't get the steamed buns. Uncle Qin told me about the kitchen. I was a little busy and asked me to come in to help. Once I came in, I never went out again.”

"While steaming, I always wanted to eat two of them, but the buns were too hot. And I don't know why, but standing in the kitchen, I suddenly felt a sense of sacred mission. Every bun should be guarded by me. Guarding and stealing is absolutely unacceptable. Not allowed."

Qin Huai was greatly moved for a moment: "Good brother, let's not talk anymore. I will make elm bark steamed buns for you this afternoon."

Ouyang chuckled: "Can I not eat elm bark steamed buns?"

Qin Huai:?

Who are you? You are not Ouyang, Ouyang would never say this.

"I want to eat fruit." Ouyang smacked his lips, "After eating so many snacks yesterday, I found that the fruit you brought back that day was the most delicious. The elm bark steamed buns are quite delicious, so I already had them yesterday. I’ve eaten enough, I want to eat fruit now.”

For some reason, Qin Huai even felt a little relieved to hear what Ouyang said.

It's so touching. Although Ouyang has a unique taste, he has the most basic aesthetics when it comes to eating dim sum.

He can tell the essential difference between A-level snacks and B-level snacks.

"I understand what you mean, but you may not be able to eat it these days."

Ouyang:?

"It's like this. I didn't make the filling of the fruit. If you want to eat the same level of fruit you ate that day, you have to go to Gusu to eat it."

Seeing that many people are concerned about my perfect attendance, I want to explain that the starting point is that there are leave slips, which can be redeemed with points. Under normal circumstances, I can redeem four leave slips a month. Under abnormal circumstances, leave requests for the next two months can be used, and at most, 12 can be redeemed in a month.

So my perfect attendance is still there (confident)
