Chapter 325 The Secret of the Signboard

"Oh, it's useless." After hearing Liu Huaxing's words, Yang Chengzhi shook his head and sighed, exhaling a puff of smoke rings, "Uncle Bi's speech ability was affected due to damage to the blood supply area of ​​the brain after a stroke in his old man's home, and now he is no longer able to speak." I can't talk normally anymore, and my legs and feet are also inconvenient. I don't think it will be possible to cook again in this life..."

"Ah... Is that so?" Liu Huaxing frowned and sighed regretfully.

But in this way, the problem is very big. There are currently two methods. The first one is to create a fish head with chopped pepper and fish with pickled vegetables that can be used as a signature dish, and the second one is to find this teacher to change jobs. The heirs help.

It is not easy to create by yourself. First of all, Liu Huaxing’s style does not suit this restaurant. He is following the style of French cuisine, while “Wan Dao” is a traditional Chinese restaurant. The taste he created may be recognized by many people. I think it is delicious, but the old customers of this store may not be able to get used to it; secondly, the impression of the signature dishes has become a habit for regular customers, just like the taste of mother, if it is not exactly the same, it is useless. For old customers Still the taste has changed.

However, although this plan may lead to the loss of old customers, it can attract new customers. After all, Liu Huaxing is still very confident in his craftsmanship. Cooking is nothing more than paying attention to details, just like what he told Yang Xiaoxiao when he made egg fried rice before, the simpler the thing, the more attention to details, details determine success or failure.

The risks are high, and the benefits are naturally large. If this method is successful, then Liu Huaxing will be able to reverse the "taste" of this restaurant, let it get rid of the taste of the older generation, and pursue the new taste created by him, and he will no longer have to worry about being controlled by others. After all, the recipe In the hands of his son-in-law.

However, it may take three to five years for this method to be effective, and it takes a long time for people's tastes to form habits. Delicious food is very important, but it is more important to meet the taste of customers.

This is like the influence of preserved eggs and fermented cheese on diners at home and abroad. Many Chinese think preserved eggs are so delicious, why do foreigners not like them, but those stinky cheeses are as delicious as rotten garbage?

But correspondingly, foreigners also view preserved eggs in the same way. This is the difference caused by the taste habits cultivated since childhood. Some dishes are not delicious. Many local specialties are delicious in the eyes of locals, but foreigners can't swallow them at all. Therefore, there is a certain risk in this method, which is equivalent to overthrowing the foundation of the restaurant for many years and rebuilding a new signboard.

As for the method of finding the heir of the teacher who switched jobs...the other party is unlikely to take the initiative to help, after all, switching from a restaurant where he has been trained for many years to another place, and it is enough to change jobs when the teacher is old and about to retire. You can see his character.

After thinking about it, Liu Huaxing decided to adopt a "compromise" method.

First go to the heirs of the teacher to taste their dishes, and you can roughly know the taste of Wandao's signature dishes. Then he will create a dish that has both old tastes and his new style based on this taste and his own craftsmanship. chef's special.

"Uncle, where is the heir's restaurant? I want to go there to see." Liu Huaxing then asked.

"Oh, don't mention Zhang Wenhao." Yang Chengzhi said a little irritably, "The character is in a mess. When he was about to inherit the position of chef, he suddenly opened his mouth and said how much annual salary other restaurants would use to recruit him. If we don't If the price is higher, he will quit. Our old store has always been based on word of mouth, how can we have such a high profit and give him an annual salary of several million?"

"I know, I'm not going to ask him for help, but to taste the signature dishes in the store." Liu Huaxing said with a smile, and Wang Mei persuaded after hearing the words: "Oh, forget it. I know that your child is I want to help, but this kind of thing is not something that you, a child, can get involved in. The child's father will find a way to do this, and your top priority is to learn."

"It's okay, auntie. I'm only in the third semester of high school now, and the school has just started, so the pressure is not that great. I think I can help with this matter. Anyway, let me try it. I can study with peace of mind after I give up." Liu Huaxing replied with a smile road.

"Oh, this..." Wang Mei looked at Yang Chengzhi, who was smoking a cigarette with a bored expression on his face.

The way Yang Chengzhi thinks is to introduce some discounts, such as the three time periods of 9 to 11 in the morning, 2 to 4 in the afternoon, and 8 to 10 in the evening. The discount policy is to introduce half-price refreshments to attract customers to come during the off-peak dining period. This can't solve the fundamental problem. The inferiority of signature dishes will lead to a decline in the reputation of the store, which will cause the loss of overall customers.

So, in the end, Yang Chengzhi told Liu Huaxing the location of the restaurant.

So, on Sunday, Liu Huaxing brought Yang Xiaoxiao to this store, ready to try it.

"Bashan Yeyu...the whole thing is quite poetic." Looking at the name of the store, Liu Huaxing couldn't help laughing. He actually dislikes people like Zhang Wenhao who don't know how to be grateful. He has been trained in the store for more than ten years, but in Job hopping at this critical juncture.

Of course, job-hopping is a very normal phenomenon in society, and Liu Huaxing can understand it, but if you want to jump, you should jump as soon as possible, so as to give the restaurant a little buffer time, and train an heir. However, this guy used this as a threat to ask the store to raise his salary at a critical moment. A chef with this kind of character can't cook anything good even if he cooks.

Because the interest is too strong, even if you will spend a lot of money to cook seriously during the opening period, sooner or later you will start to cut corners and raise prices sharply after earning word of mouth, which will naturally lead to the collapse of the store's reputation and taste, and most restaurants will also lose money. We can't continue to operate. He will see this kind of thing a lot in the future, brands as big as Quan*de and *Buli can't escape this fate, let alone a newly opened store?

But on the other hand, Liu Huaxing is a little lucky: the problem was discovered relatively early, and there is still room for recovery.

If you wait another two years to find out that the restaurant's business has plummeted, it may be a little difficult to recover the situation at that time.

Even if he can dig out a group of new customers with new tastes, Yang Chengzhi and "Lan Dao" may not be able to survive that difficult period. It takes too long to rebuild word of mouth and signature cauliflower, and operating losses may be huge. Beat this store.

Now, it should be able to stop the loss and recover the profit within a year... The premise is that as long as the signboard can be recovered.

"Xing Xing, shall we go to the hotel in the afternoon after eating?" After finding a place to sit down, Yang Xiaoxiao took his hand and asked with a smile.

"Little greedy cat... But this time it won't work, how about another day?" Liu Huaxing patted her on the head lightly and smiled, "I have something important to do today, so you should know what it is even if I don't tell you?"

"Hey..." Yang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and hummed unwillingly, Liu Huaxing kissed her little mouth: "Okay, bear with it. One day at noon, we will skip class in the afternoon and have a good time. .”

"Okay!" Yang Xiaoxiao said with a happy smile, obviously she prefers making out at home like this.

After ordering fish head with chopped pepper and fish with pickled cabbage in the store, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao started tasting. The reason why Liu Huaxing has achieved success in cooking is because he has a particularly sensitive sense of taste. Once his master and head chef added a little bread crumbs to the meatballs, even though it was only a small spoonful, he tasted it right away.

This is because when making meatballs, in order to prevent the meat filling from being too thin, a little steamed bun crumbs are added to it, and there were no steamed bun crumbs in the store that day, so the chef replaced it with bread crumbs, but he tasted it. That's why he was favored by the chef.

After eating the chopped pepper fish head, Liu Huaxing frowned at that time: "What a unique fragrance..."

Then, Liu Huaxing tasted pickled fish, which also had a very unique fragrance.

That aroma does not come from a certain spice, because the spice is just an embellishment, and this aroma has an overall sense, as if it wraps the whole dish.

Of course, these two dishes are not limited to this kind of aroma, but as a chef with many years of cooking experience and quite talented in this area, he can see other details, such as how to marinate the fish so that The fish meat is more delicious, and how to make the fish meat in pickled cabbage fish more flavorful, and the unique spicy sauce in the fish head with chopped peppers.

Basically, Liu Huaxing will know the mystery of these two dishes after tasting a few mouthfuls. The key to the chopped pepper fish head is the "chopped chili sauce", which should be homemade in the store. You can taste the taste of star anise, cinnamon, and Light wine aroma.

He can generally guess the little tricks in the pickled fish, and he even has better alternatives to make it more brilliant. Only the fragrance in the overall sense made him not quite understand it.

In Chinese cuisine, what can make a dish have an overall sense of fragrance?

Liu Huaxing thought about it carefully, this kind of overall feeling is rare in foreign cuisine, so what is the most obvious gap between Chinese cuisine and foreign cuisine? When he thought of this, he already had the answer: oil.

The most famous point of Chinese cuisine is that it uses a lot of oil, and the harder the dish, the more oil it will give.

But this is very rare in foreign countries. The cuisines of many countries pay attention to healthy diet. For example, Japanese and Korean cuisines deliberately reduce the cooking oil, so that their dishes are always clear and watery, not oily, while French cuisine Usually, a large amount of oil is not used in the dish. Only Chinese cuisine often puts a full half pot of oil in a dish.

Therefore, Liu Huaxing speculates that the overall aroma of these two dishes must come from the "oil".

I'm afraid this is not the usual peanut oil and corn oil, but some other oil. The oil generally has its own unique aroma. The flavor of peanut oil and rapeseed oil is the most mild, and it will not overwhelm the flavor of other ingredients.

And corn oil has a little taste of corn itself. When cooking some light food, people with a keen sense of taste can feel the taste of corn oil in it. This is why the Chinese do not like olive oil.

Foreigners especially like olive oil. They use olive oil when cooking and making salads, and olive oil is indeed healthier. It contains unsaturated fatty acids and has lower calories than ordinary oil. It is used to eat nutrition without heating High value, people who lose weight will eat a spoonful of olive oil raw to ensure daily fat intake.

But olive oil has a very strong fragrance, which will overwhelm the taste of many foods, so many people don't like it.

The fragrance in these two fish dishes should also come from some kind of oil, but Liu Huaxing is not sure what kind of oil it is. But he knew that this oil was very important, because this aroma was the only special presence in the two dishes, that is to say, it was the source of the habitual "taste of home" of the guests.

Maybe Yang Chengzhi's people who don't know how to cook will find it incredible: the key to the restaurant's signature dishes is just a mere "oil"? That being the case, why didn't the master just tell the chef in the store what this oil is?

The reason is very simple, because even the guests and the chef themselves may not know that this "oil" is the key. They only think that the delicacy of their signature dishes comes from the overall care and details, and is the delicacy of the dish itself, but in fact, from a scientific point of view, the most important thing that makes customers form taste habits is the strongest in it. that smell.

In other words, as long as the oil is used correctly, even if other details are reduced, the guests will not be able to eat it.

Because most people do not have such a sensitive sense of taste as his, they can only taste the strongest taste, as long as they can taste this taste, they will feel that it is still the familiar taste.

"Little Strawberry, do you think it's delicious?" Liu Huaxing turned to Yang Xiaoxiao and asked curiously.

"It's so so, it's very unique, but that's it, it's not as delicious as my Xing Xing's." Yang Xiaoxiao said disapprovingly.

"That's because you're used to the taste of my cooking." Liu Huaxing touched her head and smiled, "Okay, let's go back after eating? It's almost time to reproduce this dish... just make another phone call .”

After paying the bill after eating, Liu Huaxing called Yang Chengzhi and asked about the imported oils in the store. After checking the list, he found a kind of oil that he hadn't tried before. Tea seed oil".

"Well, that's the scent!" Liu Huaxing bought a small pot of tea seed oil from the supermarket, smelled it, and nodded happily.

The correct answer has been found, so the next step is to go home and reproduce the miracle.

Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao went to her house because Yang Chengzhi wanted to try it, and Wang Mei had already prepared several grass carp and fat head fish heads for him, but in fact Liu Huaxing didn't need so many dishes to try The advantage of the ability to read files is that he can save the effort of trying, saving materials and time.

However, this kind of file reading that needs to go back to a specific point in time each time, and the file reading interval is more than one hour usually requires a relatively deep file reading point, so now he came to the kitchen, Yang Xiaoxiao was in his Standing by and ready to help.

"Little Strawberry, come here." Liu Huaxing waved to Yang Xiaoxiao, and the little girl came over obediently.

Then, Liu Huaxing opened Yang Xiaoxiao's neckline and glanced in. The little girl was wearing light blue underwear today.

"Well, it's really beautiful." Liu Huaxing nodded in satisfaction, and the impressive save point was created.

"Tsk... what are you doing? You're not serious when you should be serious." Yang Xiaoxiao glared at him with a pursed smile, and poked him in the face.

"You know that I need a little love to cook." Liu Huaxing teased, Yang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, then leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "Here you are."

Next, Liu Huaxing started to get busy in front of the stove.

He not only wants to reproduce the shop's signboard, but also uses his concept of French cuisine to create a work that stands out from others, standing on the shoulders of his predecessors and surpassing them, so as to completely defeat Zhang Wenhao, a low-quality chef.
