Chapter 159 7 dishes and 1 soup
"He doesn't usually have a chance to practice, so you don't have to have too high expectations for the dishes he can make. Assuming the full score is 10, as long as he can reach the passing score of 6 points, we can recruit him to Yipin Guo. Judging from the current business situation of this restaurant, the other party is likely to agree."
Qian Lai also nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I think so too, but I don't know what kind of dishes he will prepare for us."
"We'll know in a while. Maybe they can give us a surprise."
After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he and Qian Lai looked at each other, and they both smiled knowingly. Everything was said without words.
Lin Chuyi turned to look at Lin Xiangxiang who had been silent the whole time, "Xiangxiang."
"Huh?" Lin Xiangxiang looked at Lin Chuyi with a confused look on her face, not knowing why Lin Chuyi suddenly called her.
Lin Chuyi sighed, "I haven't heard you say a word during this journey. You are going to be a master chef in the future, so you can't be so quiet."
"It's not that I don't want to speak, I just don't know what to say." Lin Xiangxiang felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Chuyi rested her chin on her hand and fell into deep thought. Was there something wrong with the data she had filled in earlier? How come Lin Xiangxiang's character was so different from Qian Laiye's?
Could it be that I opened it the wrong way? Lin Chu turned his beads around, suddenly sat up straight, and said seriously: "Then why don't we discuss Qilixiang's matter? What are your plans for Qilixiang's opening products?"
When Lin Chuyi mentioned his professional field, Lin Xiangxiang suddenly became excited.
After careful consideration, she said, "In addition to being responsible for the operation of Qilixiang, I am also responsible for training a group of dessert chefs. Making desserts is like making dishes. It is useless to just talk about it. It requires a lot of practice to achieve success. So I want to start with the simplest desserts to lay a solid foundation for them and give them some time to adapt."
"Once they have mastered the methods of making those basic desserts, we will start to use these desserts as a basis and gradually introduce new products to Qilixiang. This will not only train their practical operation capabilities, but also allow the public to continue to have expectations for Qilixiang."
"In addition to desserts, I also plan to launch some drinks at Qilixiang. Drinks like pearl milk tea, fruit tea, and yogurt are all within my consideration. If conditions permit, I can also launch some seasonal products, such as shaved ice, popsicles, and ice cream. The specifications of these products are fixed, and they are easier to make than desserts. As far as I know, there are no similar products in current dim sum restaurants. I have them and you don't. This is Qilixiang's feature and also its advantage..."
When Lin Chuyi heard Lin Xiangxiang talking, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. She shouldn't have doubted herself. How could the data she set be wrong? Isn't this quite talkative?
After Lin Xiangxiang finished talking about her initial concept for Seven-Li Fragrance, Qian Lai briefly recounted the ideas about Seven-Li Fragrance that he and Lin Chuyi had discussed previously.
After understanding each other's ideas about Qilixiang, the three began to summarize the two plans and merge them into a complete plan.
Lin Xiangxiang's concept was mainly centered around Qilixiang's product line, while Lin Chuyi and Qian Lai's ideas for Qilixiang were mainly centered around store decoration and business plan. The two did not conflict, so the three of them quickly completed the merger of the two plans. In fact, because of the specific requirements for various equipment proposed by Lin Xiangxiang, Qilixiang's decoration drawings were further upgraded and improved.
While Qian Laiye and Lin Xiangxiang began to discuss details such as storage containers for take-out drinks, Lin Kaiping's dishes were almost ready.
As Lin Kaiping got closer with the dishes in his hand, the three of them stopped talking at the same time, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and prepared to start eating.
The first two dishes Lin Kaiping served were stir-fried potatoes and carrots and scrambled eggs with leeks.
It is not clear whether it is really affordable or not, but the portion size is indeed large. The vegetables on the plate are piled up like a small mountain. A lot of oil must have been used when cooking, so that the ingredients in these two dishes have maintained their original color. Just looking at the appearance of the dishes makes people very appetizing.
Lin Chuyi first picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks, then picked up a piece of egg with chopsticks. After tasting both dishes, she nodded slightly.
The ingredients of these two dishes are all fresh, and the seasoning and cooking time are also well controlled. The taste is not amazing, but you certainly can't say in a clear conscience that the dishes are not delicious.
After we had eaten half of these two dishes, several more dishes were served one after another, including braised eggplant, stir-fried meat with celery, stir-fried beans, steamed fish, stir-fried cabbage, and a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms served in a large ceramic bowl.
Together with the previous two dishes, there were a total of seven dishes and one soup, filling up the table in front of Lin Chuyi and the others.
After that, diners who came into the restaurant one after another saw the grand occasion at their table and cast envious glances at them. Then, as usual, they ordered a bowl of plain noodles and ate the noodles with the aroma floating in the air. Their appetites were much better than before.
Lin Chuyi tasted every dish that was served. These dishes looked impressive at first glance, but in fact, the cooking methods were relatively simple, and they basically followed the original flavors of the ingredients. There was nothing that surprised her.
After tasting it, Lin Chuyi gave it a score of six. Lin Xiangxiang gave the same score as Lin Chuyi, only a passing score, while Qian Lai gave a high score of eight.
After Qian Laiye gave his rating, Lin Xiangxiang and Lin Chuyi looked at each other and understood each other without any words: they must cook more delicious meals for Qian Laiye after returning to improve his tasting skills.
The portions of all eight dishes were huge, but Lin Chuyi and the other two were big eaters, so they finished the entire table in less than half an hour, not even leaving any of the chicken soup in the large ceramic bowl.
The diners who were eating noodles in the restaurant and Lin Kaiping and his wife witnessed with their own eyes how they finished the entire table of dishes and were all dumbfounded.
Lin Kaiping's speech became a little stuttering, "How about...how about I go and make a few more dishes for you?"
Qian Lai also took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. Just as he was about to reject Lin Kaiping's proposal, he received a hint from Lin Chuyi and immediately changed his words.
"You don't need to cook anything else. Just give us three bowls of the kind of plain noodles they eat."
"Ah? Oh, okay." Lin Kaiping regretted what he said just now. If they still wanted to eat meat, where would he find the ingredients for them?
Now hearing that Qian Laiye and the others just wanted to eat three more bowls of plain noodles, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, responded, and quickly slipped away to the back kitchen.
