Chapter 263 Cooking a meal for employees

Chen Li is not an employee of Snow Beer, so he only needs to make suggestions and does not need to do things.

Even Chen Li didn't need to consider whether his suggestions were feasible or not. Deng Weimin had to consider everything himself.

After all, Deng Weimin is now in a high position, and he still needs to have the decisiveness he deserves.

Even though it is still the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, this buddy has begun to gather people to discuss the next countermeasures.

As for Chen Li, he left Deng Weimin's house after having a meal at noon.

He also has his own things to do. The various kitchen utensils for the two branches have not yet been purchased and installed!

But there is no rush in this matter. After all, it is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and there is no installation service there, so this matter will have to wait.

Chen Li went to a large supermarket. After shopping in the supermarket, he returned to the rental house next to the school. In the corridor, Chen Li took out his luggage from the system space and opened the door with the key.

.

"Brother Li? Why are you here so early? Today is only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year!"

As soon as he opened the door, Chen Li saw Huang Biao sitting on the computer playing Legend of Sword and Fairy.

"I can't worry about you during this Chinese New Year, and Brother Deng has something to do with me, so I set off and came here right after the Chinese New Year."

Of course what Chen Li said was a lie, and even seemed a bit hypocritical.

But sometimes it is better for people to be more hypocritical. Just like now, as soon as Chen Li said these words, Huang Biao's mood became better.

During this winter vacation, Huang Biao did not return to Sichuan Province. It was not that he did not make any money, but that he did not want to go back.

In fact, today's Huang Biao is already considered a high-income person in terms of income these days.

Chen Li had asked him before and even agreed to buy train tickets together, but Huang Biao refused Chen Li on the grounds that Yanjing could not have anyone here.

Chen Li knew that the reason why Huang Biao did not go home was because there was no one else at home.

In fact, Huang Biao also had a grandmother, but because Huang Biao failed to live up to expectations in the past, his grandmother was not very good to Huang Biao.

As for other relatives of Huang Biao's family, let alone that.

The last time Chen Li sent Huang Biao to the police station, Huang Biao's family was the only one without any relatives present.

Chen Li had persuaded Huang Biao once before, saying that if he changed his ways, his relatives might actually accept him.

However, I don’t know what Huang Biao was thinking, or maybe there were things that Chen Li didn’t understand. In short, Huang Biao just shook his head at that time.

Later, Chen Li never mentioned this topic. After all, as the old saying goes, don’t persuade others to be kind until they have suffered!

The only thing Chen Li can do is to lead Huang Biao on the right path. As for the rest, Huang Biao still has to deal with it himself.

"Where are Aunt Song and Sister Xiaolan?"

Chen Li looked around the room and found that Song Xiaolan and her daughter were not there either.

These two people didn't go home this year, but they were really saving money by not going home.

Song Xiaolan had a car accident before, and the driver who caused the accident escaped and has not been caught yet. This also means that Song Xiaolan had to bear the medical expenses herself.

When Aunt Song came to Yanjing, she borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends. After that, she couldn't even raise money for Song Xiaolan's tuition.

Later, Chen Li lent money to Aunt Song, so the two of them are still in a state of repaying the debt.

Both of them are from Guizhou Province, and traveling back and forth would cost more than a thousand dollars in travel expenses alone.

Anyway, there are only two of them, mother and daughter, in the Song family. As long as they are together, they celebrate the New Year wherever they go.

So during this winter vacation, the two of them stayed in Yanjing and did not go back to their hometown. It happened that they could spend the New Year with Huang Biao who was not going home.

"They went shopping!"

Huang Biao took the suitcase and snakeskin bag from Chen Li and smelled the bacon smell coming from the snakeskin bag. A look of aftertaste appeared on Huang Biao's face.

"Haha~ Are you hungry?"

"There are preserved pig's feet that my mother brought for you. I'll stew them later and let's have a dinner together in the evening."

Chen Li saw the expression on Huang Biao's face and smiled.

People from Sichuan Province are like this, they are extremely delicious! Especially when I am away from home, I really miss the taste of my hometown.

In his previous life, Chen Li would take away a bag of cured meats from home every time he went home during the Spring Festival, but he usually couldn't last more than a few months.

Basically in the second half of the year, we are faced with a situation where there is no cured meat to eat.

Although information was developed at that time and online shopping was extremely convenient, bacon sold online and homemade bacon were completely different things.

This is by no means pretentious, but a real thing.

The cured meat produced on the assembly line is completely different from the homemade cured meat.

The bacon sold online is basically smoked meat at best.

You must know that real cured meat, whether it is pickled, smoked, grilled, or dried, is not a finished product until two or three months.

And those cured meats on sale are considered good if they last for a month.

Without time to settle, the taste of the food produced will naturally not be the same.

"Thank you, auntie~ I didn't expect auntie to still remember me?"

The year before last, Huang Biao was punished by Chen Li. Later, due to system tasks, Chen Li took Huang Biao in and asked him to help in the barbecue restaurant.

Ms. Wang, who was unaware at the time, took great care of Huang Biao because of his poor family background.

Of course, even now, Ms. Wang doesn't know that Huang Biao only changed his ways after being sent to the police station by Chen Li.

If Ms. Wang knew that Huang Biao came to trouble Chen Li in the first place, let alone take care of Huang Biao, Huang Biao would be lucky if he didn't rush over and slap Huang Biao twice.

"By the way, how many people in our store are staying in Yanjing?"

Chen Li ignored Huang Biao and tidied up to prepare for cooking.

He planned to cook a reunion dinner tonight to reward those who stayed in Yanjing and did not return to their hometowns for the New Year.

"There must be five or six! Some of them live far away from home and have no plans to go back."

"Some people didn't buy tickets because they couldn't catch the train home, so they stayed."

Huang Biao helped Chen Li pack his luggage while answering Chen Li's questions.

"Who is it? Why hasn't anyone bought a ticket? Isn't it quite early for our vacation?"

Chen Li stopped what he was doing. He was on vacation in early February, so how could he not buy a ticket?

The holiday time he set for the fried chicken restaurant was based on the holiday time of Yenching University, so there was no way he could not buy tickets.

After all, it wasn’t even Spring Festival travel at that time. At most, I just bought a train ticket that was one or two days late.

"It's the two sisters Han Li and Han Yan!"

"Hi~ The two of them felt that the vacation was a bit long and the time was quite long, so they found a part-time job after the vacation."

"It didn't end until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. They only went to buy tickets at that time, and naturally they couldn't buy them."

The pre-sale of train tickets these days can only pre-sale tickets for a week in advance at most.

Usually during the Spring Festival, tickets are almost sold out on the same day.

The two sisters Han Li went to buy tickets on the 26th. Naturally, it was impossible to buy train tickets to go home for the New Year.

"So that's what it is, let me tell you!"

"By the way, then you can invite everyone who stayed in Yanjing to come over for dinner. Let's have a New Year's reunion in the evening."

Chen Li shook his head and began to work with Huang Biao to deal with the cured meats he brought. These things must be hung up for ventilation!

"Okay~ I'll pack these up and call them."

The dormitories that Chen Li rented for the employees of the fried chicken restaurant were all in the same community, but Chen Li was not so luxurious as to install telephones in each dormitory.

However, the installed price of landline phones is getting cheaper and cheaper at present. Chen Li plans to wait until the price gets lower and then install a landline phone in his dormitory that can make 201 calls.

After packing away the cured meats, Chen Li began to wash his hands and prepare for the evening meal, while Huang Biao left the dormitory to find other employees.

Currently, Chen Li's fried chicken chain doesn't have many employees, which is why Chen Li can still have a meal with these employees.

But when his ideal fried chicken reaches a certain scale, let alone Chen Li himself cooking, it is estimated that Chen Li may just go for a formality at the reunion dinner.

Instead of like now, he can do it himself, hand out red envelopes to everyone, and cook a meal for everyone.

Therefore, Chen Li still attaches great importance to today's meal.

The main dishes are all solid dishes.

Braised pork trotters with dried radish, braised yellow-feathered chicken with mushrooms, braised white-feathered chicken, and steamed eight-treasure fish.

Among them, the most expensive dish is the steamed eight-treasure fish.

In fact, Chen Li made a cognitive mistake and bought this thing. Otherwise, he would not have bought this turbot.

In the previous life, turbot was not really a rare thing. Even ordinary people could afford it if they really wanted to eat it.

But in 1999, the price of turbot was a bit expensive.

Chen Li didn't know that the promotion of turbot in China had experienced twists and turns.

This thing was actually introduced into China in 1992!

Even the introduction process took a lot of effort. It is said that the negotiation time alone lasted 11 years.

Later, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences finally introduced turbot into the country in 1992. At the time of the introduction, there were only 200 fry.

Later, the breeding of turbot gradually became large-scale, but when it came to the market, it ran into trouble again!

Perhaps consumers at that time had not seen this kind of strange-looking deep-sea Atlantic fish, and the launch of turbot was met with a cold reception.

However, in our country of big foodies, it is impossible for a delicious ingredient to be buried for a long time.

Later, some smart dealers changed the name of turbot to turbot. Just this name makes it worth trying for some people with spending power.

Subsequently, turbot entered high-end restaurants, and its value also increased accordingly.

Later, turbot, which had already become a high-end food ingredient, experienced a drug controversy. Just like white-feather chicken back then, turbot was once rejected by consumers.

This made turbot, which had already become a high-end food ingredient, quickly fall from the altar. Even though it gradually recovered, it no longer has the same value as before.

This is why in Chen Li's memory, the price of turbot was only average, but in 1999, the price of turbot was frighteningly expensive.

Moreover, Chen Li did not even know that in early 1999, domestic turbot farming had not even achieved mass production.

So if he buys this turbot at this time, it means he is actively being ripped off!

Uh~ Okay! In fact, the main reason is because when Chen Li bought this fish, he didn't even ask about the price.

After all, how many ingredients are there that Chen Li can't afford these days?

In short, although the turbot fish cost a lot of money, it was not enough to make Chen Li feel distressed.

He just felt like he had been taken advantage of! After all, the price of this fish was almost as high as a whole table of dishes.

And just when Chen Li was finishing processing the turbot and marinating it, there was a noise outside the room.

"Boss~ Happy New Year!"

The door opened and Han Yan jumped in from outside.

This girl is about the same age as Chen Xue. She just turned 17 this year and has a lively and outgoing personality.

"Okay~Okay! Happy New Year!"

Chen Li took out several red envelopes from his pocket and gave one to Han Yan first.

This red envelope is just a simple expression. Each red envelope contains twelve yuan.

Of course, Han Yan would be very happy to receive the red envelope. Even if it costs twelve yuan, she can still buy a lot of things these days.

"thank you boss!"

"Hmm~ It smells so good!"

"It's chicken soup!"

Han Yan, who received the red envelope, was attracted by the smell coming from the kitchen before she even had time to open it.

I can't help it~ The taste of this chicken soup is too strong.

"Happy New Year~ Doesn't it smell good? That's right. It's from our own chicken farm."

Chen Li responded with a smile while handing out red envelopes to others.

The yellow-feathered chickens from the chicken farm used in the chicken soup were brought over by Wang Jianjun during the Chinese New Year.

In fact, according to normal standards, the yellow-feathered chickens at this time are not yet ready for slaughter.

But during the Chinese New Year, Chen Li asked Wang Jianjun and his wife to take care of it. Anyway, it was their own chicken, so if you want to eat it, you can kill it!

Years ago, Wang Jianjun came to the city to do some New Year shopping and gave Huang Biao two yellow-feathered chickens.

On New Year's Eve, Aunt Song stewed a yellow-feathered chicken, and it is said that the whole house was filled with fragrance.

So today Chen Li also wanted to take a look at what this yellow-feathered chicken that had been improved by the system looked like.

The result is obvious, the rich flavor of local chicken soup is really tempting.

At present, the chicken soup has just been simmered for a while, and the taste is so tempting. Would it be better if it was simmered for a while?

This actually proves the power of the system on the other hand. The quality of the chickens improved by the system, whether it is white-feathered chickens or yellow-feathered chickens, has been greatly improved.

This also strengthens Chen Li’s confidence in going down the road of breeding!

Not to mention the foreign market, at least this yellow-feathered chicken will definitely be very popular in the domestic market.

After all, China’s thousands of years of experience tells the common people that chicken soup is a great supplement!

Chen Li feels that once the yellow-feathered chickens from chicken farms are released, the market will soon open up.

Therefore, it is time to expand the breeding scale of yellow-feathered chickens.

Of course, these are all things for later. Chen Li's current identity is a cook, and he has to prepare today's meal for his employees.

"Boss, how can I help you?"

Han Li had something interesting in her eyes. She had already picked up the unpeeled potatoes and then asked.

"Haha~! I don't need your help today, you just go and play."

"Huang Biao, find a movie and show it to them on the computer."

"For today's meal, none of you need to do anything, just wait and eat!"
