Food Customizer

Li Mingtao has been very melancholy these past two days.

Seeing that the employees of the new company went to the old company canteen to eat, the design department even moved the entire department directly there.

Moreover, according to his "informant" Wang Rui, the reception banquet was very successful. The two bosses even took photos with Boss Su and Mr. Ling when they left.

In the past two days, Li Mingtao went to the canteen to eat and found that the canteen was empty!

Only Zhou Kai and I would go around every day at meal time, taking a bite if we had something to eat, or eating solid food if we really didn't want to.

That's right, during meal time every day, there were only the two of them in the cafeteria, and everyone else went to the delicious food to eat.

This unusual phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of the canteen owner Sun Er.

When Li Mingtao went to eat at noon today, Sun Er was hanging around in front of him.

"How's the check going?"

"Hey! Second brother, I went out with those idiots today, and they all went to the building opposite to eat! No wonder no one comes to the cafeteria these days."

Sun Er held his chin and walked back and forth, while still talking to Li Mingtao.

"Director Li, what's the origin of the building opposite? When did you open a restaurant?"

There were no canteen staff in the company, so Sun Er didn't know that this matter had something to do with Li Mingtao.

"I don't know. Old Sun, let me tell you, if you improve the quality of food for everyone, who would be willing to go out to eat without meal supplements?"

Li Mingtao wanted to take this opportunity to beat Sun Er, but as soon as he said these words, Sun Er pouted on the ground.

"It's good for a bunch of idiots to have something to eat, but they are so picky! I give them ten yuan for a meal, but you still want to eat shark's fin and abalone for only ten yuan?"

Seeing that Li Mingtao had a bad look on his face, Sun Er kept smiling and said, "Director Li, I'm not talking about you. Come on, come on. I made some small dishes today. Don't eat this."

then

When Li Mingtao was eating Xiaozao, he heard about such a thing.

Sun Er arranged for someone to find a local store tour anchor, and then teach the restaurant on the 19th floor opposite a lesson!

He didn't care about receiving others, but Sun Er couldn't receive Xinghui's employees.

If no one comes to eat, the canteen will not receive subsidies from the company, nor will it make money from employees.

After eating, Li Mingtao thought about it.

When I sign a formal contract with Xinghui, I still have to wait for twenty days for the trial period to end. My contract with Meimeilai will expire and automatically end in ten days.

Su Chen clocked in the subsidy for himself again.

My current situation must be that I cannot offend both sides, I have to please both sides.

After much deliberation, Li Mingtao took the initiative to contact Su Chen. After waiting for a while without reply, he chose to contact He Shuting.

[Li Mingtao: Shu Ting, the cafeteria here at Xinghui knows that their employees go to our cafeteria to eat. The owner of the cafeteria seems to want to cause trouble. 】

In the WeChat message he sent, Li Mingtao specifically used the words "our canteen".

Well, a family!

Come to the cafeteria for delicious food.

He Shuting showed this message to others, and they were silent for a moment.

Bai Xiaobo hammered the wall, "Granny, as soon as the company started to improve, someone wanted to kill us? Who is afraid of whom?"

With Su Chen in charge, Bai Xiaobo has nothing to fear!

"No, this matter needs to be treated with caution. It's easy to hide from open attacks and hard to guard against hidden attacks. If someone really makes a stumbling block for us, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the development of the company." Liu Shengnan's situation opened up in an instant, and the two people who spoke He was stunned for a while.

"What should we do now?" He Shuting asked.

Liu Shengnan thought for a moment and said, "That's it. You first ask Director Li what the other party plans to do to us. If we can know in advance, we can be more defensive."

"Uh-huh!"

[He Shuting: Director, what’s going on? What does the other person mean and what do they want? 】

Soon, Li Mingtao's WeChat reply came.

[I don’t know the specific situation, but I heard about such a thing. I've been too busy recently, so please pay more attention! 】

Li Mingtao said it tactfully.

I told you that this was the case, but I couldn’t tell you the specifics.

Li Mingtao, a talented person, knew very well that if he told everything he knew, it would be easy for others to guess that he had leaked it. When Sun Er said this that day, the only other employee next to him was Li Mingtao.

But if you just talk about it vaguely, then there is no problem.

Sun Er couldn't attack his own company's employees, so he couldn't even control where others went to eat, right?

You can only start from your competitors.

Director Li didn't know the specific situation. The three people in the cafeteria looked at each other in confusion. In the end, Sister Shengnan made the decision.

"Let's leave this matter alone, everyone, please keep quiet! We will report back after the boss has rested. The top priority now is to clean up the kitchen and canteen."

"What Sheng Nan said makes sense." Bai Xiaobo nodded.

"Okay then! I gained a fan by posting a video today, hee hee~" He Shuting even cleaned the house and didn't forget to show off the results of her work.

After all, a fan is rare.

Especially since this fan is quite old. He must not be here to see Hisi, but just to see how good he is at cooking?

Um

On the flight from Jingzhou to Hubei Province, Lu Yongliang turned on his mobile phone and followed the Meili company's Douyin account, and watched the three posted videos several times.

"Uncle Lu, with a talent like Boss Su, I thought you would want to recruit a disciple." Shang Mingke turned around and said.

"Accepting a disciple? Haha." Lu Yongliang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Boss Su's level of cooking Hubei cuisine is not inferior to mine. Although these dozen or so dishes are not many, they almost demonstrate all the skills and techniques of Hubei cuisine. Once again. I’d rather be his master.”

"That's what you said." Shang Mingke smiled and shook his head.

You are recognized as the number one in Hubei cuisine!

If you are not worthy, then who is worthy?

Of course, Lu Yongliang didn't know that Su Chen actually made these dishes on the fly. If he had tried a few more dishes with him at that time, Su Chen would definitely not be able to compete with Mr. Lu.

Lu Yongliang didn't answer, but still watched the video on his phone with interest.

Ding dong~

Lu Yongliang looked at the new messages on WeChat, and his smiling face immediately changed color, "Hey! This useless apprentice! He doesn't think about how to improve himself, and he does some crooked things all day long!"

"oh?"

"Seeing people making money visiting stores and making videos, he wants to do it too, without even looking at how many brushes he has!"

Shang Mingke smiled.

Today’s short videos are indeed a bit crazy. It is said that bloggers with millions of fans can easily earn several million a year, and their income is comparable to that of some large entities.

No wonder everyone wants to run on this track.

After practicing skills for more than ten years, I will most likely end up working in a hotel kitchen, earning ten thousand or twenty thousand a month, which is really not as fast as making short videos.

But everything has pros and cons.

Shang Mingke smacked his lips, "Uncle Lu, in fact, the Internet can also be used to promote Chu cuisine. Now the Internet spreads very fast. If we can create a Chu cuisine account with millions of fans, the effect will be very good."

"Really?" Lu Yongliang didn't believe what others said, but he believed what Shang Mingke said.

"Well, although I don't know much about the Internet, if I can really have an account like Master Sui, then Chu Cai will become famous all over the country."

In daily life, Mingke also likes to watch short videos and watch some food-related ones.

He has long discovered that as long as some big bloggers visit a store or do a special feature of a certain place, many people will immediately rush to chase the place.

The specific effect is not clear, but in the final analysis, you still have to have two brushes.

"If that's the case, you can let me, my little apprentice, try it. Sigh!" Lu Yongliang patted his forehead, "With just his two brushes, how dare he visit the store?"

"Sometimes you don't have to be very skilled when visiting a store. And I remember, didn't Liu Abao already have the title of senior technician?"

Liu Abao, Lu Yongliang's young disciple, is the most talented among the old gentleman's disciples.

At the age of only twenty-eight, he obtained the title of senior technician.

You know, during the assessment of this thing, you are required to be proficient in at least all the cooking techniques of a certain cuisine, and you must also be able to bypass the cooking skills of at least two other cuisines.

Although this kind of professional title is somewhat vague in the evaluation, Liu Abao is indeed the strongest among all the apprentices, and he is also Lu Yongliang's most effective assistant when preparing some high-end banquets.

"Let him do whatever he wants." Lu Yongliang put away his phone angrily, "The master-disciple relationship now is different from when I was a child, and we can't interfere with him."

Shang Mingke had a plan in mind.

"Uncle Lu, don't you want Boss Su to come to Hubei Province to exchange cooking skills?"

Hearing that it was about Su Chen, Lu Yongliang immediately cheered up, "What should I say?"

"It just so happens that Liu Abao wants to do the Internet now. You can instruct him to go to Boss Su to explore the store first. At the same time, he can also gain knowledge and walk around with Boss Su more. There will always be opportunities in the future."

hiss!

Lu Yongliang did not speak, but considered the matter carefully.

As a young apprentice, he has indeed become a bit drifting in recent years due to his talent.

I just told myself that I wanted to make a store tour video, but I didn’t know which store to start with.

If he were asked to visit Boss Su's store, it would help him to improve his energy. Secondly, it would also add some fame to Boss Su's company and enhance his contacts with Boss Su.

This kills three birds with one stone!

As expected, only Shang Mingke could think of it!

"Yes! This is really a good idea." Lu Yongliang thought for a moment and immediately agreed to this idea.

Shang Mingke also nodded, "Unfortunately, in the early days of Abao's business, his account has little value and cannot bring substantial benefits to Boss Su. I would like to bring a gift to Boss Su when I go."

"Gift? Haha, I've already prepared it!"

Lu Yongliang leaned sideways and lowered his voice, "Isn't the new Hubei cuisine cookbook about to be released soon? When I go back this time, I will write down Boss Su's steamed Wuchang fish dish in the cookbook and sign his name. When the cookbook is published, it will be given away. He’s a copy!”

Shang Mingke nodded slightly.

This is a nice gift.

The Hubei cuisine recipe mentioned by Lu Yongliang was compiled under the official sponsorship of Hubei Province. It is an honor to have your name printed on it. It is equivalent to the fact that the production level of this dish is officially recognized by the Hubei Province!

Except for Lu Yongliang himself, no one else could really give this gift.

Delicious to the company.

When Su Chen woke up, the sky was slightly dark.

Nowadays, the off-duty time for Meili Lai is 8 pm, and it is almost time to get off work.

Seeing Su Chen coming out, the staff of Delicious stood up and gathered around.

"Boss, you are finally awake."

"Brother Chen, this is sent from Xinghui, where do you think it should be hung?" Liu Shengnan handed over a photo frame.

"Xinghui is efficient, why are they all moved away?" Su Chen took a look, and the office, which was once full of people, returned to its former quietness and spaciousness.

This photo frame is quite large, and it contains a group photo of the four of them. After just a glance, Su Chen casually put it on the table, "This is their client, it has nothing to do with me."

"Then I will put it away later! Put it over there with the previous things." Aunt Fang brought the photo frame. This room can be without anyone, but without her, I am afraid it will not be able to function for a day.

I can't find anything!

Su Chen nodded, "The canteen and the kitchen"

Bai Xiaobo answered, "Brother Chen, the canteen and the kitchen have been cleaned up, and the ingredients that can still be used have been stored. The other garbage has also been dealt with. Don't worry about this."

Very good.

Su Chen was very satisfied, "It's half past one o'clock before work ends. Have you all eaten?"

He Shuting leaned back in the chair, "Aunt Fang cooked us some stir-fried noodles, and we've all eaten!"

"Well, there probably won't be much business in the evening. Let's have a simple meeting, and then everyone will hurry off work."

Su Chen was about to sit down, and Liu Shengnan asked cautiously, "Boss, how about we go to the conference room for a meeting?"

Conference room?

The previous conference rooms were all empty houses, and only Xinghui had a bit of a look after moving this time. Now they're gone again, and they can't leave their things for us, right?

But after hearing what Liu Shengnan meant

Su Chen ran towards the conference room and opened the door to take a look.

Huh!

The oval conference table, leather chairs, projector, tea bar machine, etc. were all left untouched!

"Boss Ling said that it doesn't cost much in total, and it's troublesome to move it around, so just give it to us"

Hiss!

So generous!

"Boss Ling also said that she was too lazy to move the things in the lounge, and if she comes to eat in the future, she can eat there."

"Wow!" Su Chen said with emotion, "Is this a private room for herself? Okay, let's have a meeting here."

It has to be said that the feeling of having a meeting in a conference room is different from having a meeting anywhere else. Bai Xiaobo sat in that chair and began to feel a little nervous unconsciously.

There was no sense of casualness outside at all.

"Liu Shengnan, let's talk about our revenue as of today."

This matter is what Su Chen cares about most. Although he also has a rough account, it is definitely not as comprehensive as the financial account.

"As of tonight, the company has consumed 8,180 yuan of inventory ingredients, spent 4,709 yuan on purchasing ingredients, and had an operating income of 57,200 yuan."

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Apart from Ling Shuyu's big order, the profit of the inventory ingredients is not high, mainly because these ingredients were bought at a relatively high price in the past.

Counting the rent, water, electricity and labor, it's really not much money!

It seems that we must hurry up to raise the price of vegetables.

Su Chen wrote this down in his notebook.

The good news is that although the profit of this money is not much, the inventory will only rot if it is left there, and it can be regarded as a reasonable use. Thinking this way makes me feel much more comfortable.

"Bai Xiaobo, tell me about the customer situation."

Xiaobai perked up and sat upright, "Because the employees of Xinghui are busy moving tonight, there are no orders in the evening. Tomorrow morning, all 78 employees of Xinghui have placed orders, and they specifically want meat buns and millet porridge. Tomorrow at noon, 78 employees of Xinghui have also placed orders, with a budget of 30 yuan. There are no orders in the evening."

Su Chen's pen tapped on the table.

This is a very troublesome matter. There are only a few eggplants and sashimi left in the warehouse. If we continue to make pickled fish and garlic eggplant, we will definitely not be able to supply them. We can't eat stir-fried noodles every day. Even if it is an S-level delicacy, we will get tired of it if we eat it every day!

[Second Article: When developing new dishes, we should give priority to consuming inventory. ]

Su Chen continued to record, "He Shuting, what about you? What do you want to say?"

Now, Su Chen has not thought about Shuting's position in the company, but they are all old employees. They dare to stay in the company with him and continue to work hard, so there is no reason to fire them.

Moreover, He Shuting is not only good-looking, but also does her job well.

"Boss! Director Li sent a message today saying that the boss of Xinghui Canteen wants to mess with us!"

"Huh?" Su Chen put down his pen, "What do you mean?"

He Shuting half-lying on the table angrily, "Director Li said that the boss of the canteen opposite knew that his employees came to our place for dinner, so he wanted to mess with us, but no one knows what tricks he used."

"So" Su Chen held his chin.

There was one thing he didn't quite understand, how did Li Mingtao know about the boss of the other canteen?

At this time, Bai Xiaobo hesitantly spoke, "Brother Chen, just a few days ago"

After Xiaobai told all about Li Mingtao's employment opposite, Su Chen sighed.

No wonder!

I always felt something was wrong before, but I never thought in this direction. If this is the case, then everything is very reasonable.

"Okay, I know about this." Su Chen didn't record it in the notebook, but kept it in his mind, "Where is Aunt Fang?"

"I have nothing to say." Aunt Fang waved her hands hurriedly.

She could never walk into this meeting room before. She was the one who cleaned up after other people's meetings. Now she still feels awkward sitting here.

As for Xiaobin, he is still doing questions.

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting today! Go to work as usual tomorrow. Everyone should cheer up."

"Boss, what are you going to do about the cafeteria across the street?" Liu Shengnan was a little worried.

Su Chen seemed to be unconcerned. "When the enemy comes, the general will stop it. When the water comes, the earth will cover it. Adjourn the meeting!"

The third general staff meeting of Delicious is officially over!

Su Chen also has new work to do.

That is the new main task selection.

One is to sell 100 dishes for 88 yuan, and the other is to sell a dish for 9999 yuan.

As for the task rewards, one is the skill White Jade Hand, and the other is the item Kitchen God Knife.

Although both task rewards are very desirable, Su Chen has his own ideas!
