Man Is A Prisoner Of Food: Starting From Running A Restaurant

After closing the shop in the afternoon, Liu Xin was not idle, and immediately went to the food store to order tomorrow's ingredients.

The ingredients cannot be ordered too much at one time, nor too little.

If there is too much, the freshness will be greatly reduced if it is not used up on the same day and the next day, which will affect the taste of the dishes.

If there are too few, the situation like today will happen, and the business can only be closed early, which will cause dissatisfaction among some diners.

Therefore, it is particularly important to count the daily turnover and purchase the right amount of ingredients according to the turnover.

At present, the restaurant only has two recipes, "Golden Egg Fried Rice" and "Steak Rice Bowl", and the quantity of purchased ingredients is not much, and all of them are delivered to the door, which is more convenient.

After the purchase of ingredients was settled, Liu Xin returned to the restaurant.

The next day, Liu Xin got up on time at 7 o'clock, solved his personal problems and opened the restaurant.

After three days of hard work, the restaurant is not as empty as it was at the beginning, and there are customers even in the morning.

During these three days, Liu Xin also discovered some problems in the restaurant.

There are few recipes, resulting in very little choice for customers. At the same time, the two recipes are not suitable for morning and evening meals, but suitable for lunch at noon.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand that whoever eats egg fried rice and steak bowl early in the morning will make people feel bored, and eating too full will also affect the appetite at noon.

In addition, a large number of diners gathered at one time, which increased Liu Xin's workload. Now there is only Liu Xin in the entire restaurant.

Adding menus and recruiting employees have become the primary problems for restaurants to solve.

Yesterday's total turnover was 36W, and there is still 14W short of completing the [Advanced Task]. If the business is as hot as yesterday, the goal will be achieved at noon.

As noon approached, the number of guests coming to dine increased significantly, including many regular customers.

"Boss Liu, I'm here to disturb you again."

Lily Nail and several of her colleagues walked into the restaurant talking and laughing.

"Warm welcome, how many copies do you need today?"

Even Lily Naphthalene ate 2 servings of food yesterday, and today I am afraid it is only a lot more.

"One for each of the two dishes." Lily naphthalene said first.

"Sister Lily, you are too gentle, can I have one serving of such a delicious dish? There are two copies, thank you!"

"me too!"

Six people ordered 18 dishes in total, which kept Liu Xin busy for a while.

While Liu Xin was cooking the dishes ordered by these people, other guests walked into the restaurant.

Liu Xin resumed his busy schedule yesterday, until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when he had time to sit down and rest for a while.

Sitting in front of the bar, Liu Xin took a sip of warm water from his cup and couldn't help sighing: "I'm almost tired and faint. Even my iron body can't bear it if this goes on. Hurry up and recruit employees..."

An hour ago, the system reminded that the task was completed, and he had been busy greeting the guests just now and hadn't had time to claim the reward.

[Advanced Task] (The task has been completed, the reward is to be collected)

Liu Xin immediately clicked to collect.

"Congratulations to the host for earning 200 points, the recipe "Universal Brine Recipe" and an ordinary employee card."

The recipe is actually a brine recipe!

Brine, this is a seasoning commonly used in Chinese Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and many snacks. It can be made by cooking dozens of spices and seasonings in a few hours.

Many restaurants will reuse the brine, because the longer the brine is boiled, the more delicious it will be. Whether it is a variety of meat, eggs or tofu, it can be cooked with brine.

Generally speaking, the brines commonly used are the north and south brines. In the catering industry, they are often distinguished by red and white brines, which are called sauced cooked food. The brines have their own unique flavors.

And the name of this recipe is "universal brine", so it can be "white brine" or "red brine".

Liu Xin learned the recipe immediately.

After learning the recipe, Liu Xin immediately went to the system backpack space to check the obtained ordinary employee card.

【Ordinary employee card】

Quality: common system props

Introduction: After using it, you will get an absolutely loyal employee with a comprehensive ability value between 10 and 30.

Note: ① The higher the comprehensive ability value, the more recipes and skills you have mastered, and the more rewards you need to pay.

②The host can pass on the mastered recipes to the employees, and whether the recipes can be learned smoothly depends on the difficulty of the recipes and the comprehensive ability of the employees.

After reading the introduction, Liu Xin didn't think much about choosing to use it.

"Ding, successfully use the [ordinary employee card], the employee will come to the restaurant to report within 24 hours." The system prompted.

After using the props, the next thing is to wait for the staff to come to the door. Before that, Liu Xin has to work for a while.

...

At 7:30 p.m., Liu Xin went to the condiment store after sampling the restaurant, bought spices and seasonings for making brine, and then went to the food store to buy a batch of ingredients suitable for brine.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Liu Xin came to the kitchen and started to boil brine.

The method of brine is simple, but it requires quite a lot of ingredients. There are 19 kinds of spices alone, and more than 30 kinds of ingredients and seasonings are added.

New recipes are unlocked, and corresponding black-tech kitchen utensils are also unlocked in the kitchen.

For example, the long-tube stock pot used to boil brine can greatly shorten the cooking time, and the desired soup can be obtained within ten minutes.

Although there is a high-tech stock pot, the work of washing and cutting ingredients still needs to be handled manually.

Whether the braised vegetables are good or not depends on the quality of the ingredients, but to a greater extent depends on the quality of the brine.

Therefore, Liu Xin is not stingy when buying brine ingredients, and buys relatively high-end ingredients.

Roasted whole pig big bone (one piece) and pork ribs, Chaklein Norton bone (one piece), whole bannuo chicken, whole duck with green onions.

After these ingredients are cut, put them into a stock pot with a diameter of 1.5 meters and a height of 3 meters.

Add water to submerge all ingredients, add ginger, white orchid scallions and seven-color wine, boil on high heat and skim off the sundries floating on the surface.

When this is done, turn on a low heat and simmer for 3 to 5 hours to get the old soup of brine.

But now there is this black technology stock pot, and it takes less than 5 minutes to get a rich old soup with the lid on.

This can't help but let Liu Xin sigh again, the products produced by the system must be high-quality products!

Liu Xin did not waste the five minutes of waiting. First, he put the two spices, cloves and cinnamon, into the pot and fried them until they became fragrant. After the other 17 spices were seeded, they were soaked in warm water. Fry over low heat in a pan to dry out the surface water and release the aroma. ,

Finally, put all the spices into gauze and wrap them tightly.
