Chapter 1371

However, when he calculated the cost, he went a little crazy. A waiter cost 1,500 yuan, and 20 people cost 30,000 yuan a month. The chef was even more expensive, at least 3,000 yuan each. There were also chef assistants and dishwashers. They couldn't afford 30,000 yuan each. The labor cost alone is RMB 60,000 to 70,000, plus rent, commission, taxes, water and electricity, the basic cost is more than RMB 100,000 per month. This does not include the cost of buying groceries, and the gross monthly income is RMB 30,000. Ten thousand, I estimate that I can only earn tens of thousands at most, so I might as well open a small store.

He showed the account book to Yang Ming. After reading it, Yang Ming said: "Invite first and then talk about it. If every meal is full and the average consumption per person is forty, the gross income for a month will be more than one million. What's more, there are Is there a one-month probationary period? If there are too many and are not suitable, I will fire you. If you are lazy and slippery, I won't let you go."

Wang Xiaoming thought about it, it was impossible to recruit everyone who was suitable: "Then what about the pricing of our dishes?"

Yang Ming said: "Each dish will be added by 20% on the original basis. I will set the price of the new menu separately." Ordinarily, with such a dining environment and the quality of Yang Ming's cooking, even if it is half added, it should be Yes, but the consumer psychology of customers must be taken into consideration, and we can only rely on small profits but quick turnover.

Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Ming's new menu: "Why are most of them steamed and grilled vegetables?"

Yang Ming said: "This is more convenient and trouble-free. You can prepare it in advance and save labor and time."

Wang Xiaoming thinks this method is good and can make up for the shortage of manpower in the kitchen.

Time is too short, there are not many people applying, and the range of choices is not large. We can only recruit as many people as possible and use them first. The two chefs were personally reviewed by Yang Ming. The older chef's surname was Jiang, who was about thirty-six or seventeen years old. He said that he was originally a sous chef in a certain large restaurant. He didn't know what his skills were, but his tone was not bad. He asked for 7,000 yuan when he opened his mouth. salary. There is also a younger Master Chen, who is in his mid-twenties and is Master Jiang's brother-in-law. He looks relatively humble.

Yang Ming asked them to fry the simplest dry-fried beef river on the spot. After it was out of the pot, Yang Ming tasted a stick of Master Jiang's bean sprouts: "The bean sprouts are not enough in the wok, three thousand and five." He tasted another bite of Master Chen's beef river. Fan: "Three thousand."

Master Jiang was unconvinced: "I used to be a sous chef, and I didn't want to do it even if it cost me five thousand a month."

Yang Ming said: "The probation period is three thousand and five thousand. If I am satisfied, I will increase it to five thousand for you. If you don't want to, you can leave."

Master Jiang said: "I have long heard that Haibawang's chef is very good at his craftsmanship. If you fry a dish, I will be convinced after eating it, so I will stay."

Yang Ming nodded: "Okay, let's just fry Niuhe."

He took the pot, turned on the heat, heated the pot over high heat, put in oil, stir-fry the marinated beef slices until it was 30% hot, and when the beef turned white, add shredded ginger and rice noodles and stir-fry over high heat, the speed should be fast, but not If you use too much force, the rice noodles will break easily. Then add beef, green onions, bean sprouts and chili shreds and stir-fry together. When cooked, add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, salt and a little sugar and stir-fry until the color is even. Turn off the heat and remove from the pot.

Master Jiang looked at the color of Yang Ming's stir-fried Niu He and his own. They were already more than one level apart in color. Yang Ming's dry stir-fried Niu He was full of flavor, sparkling and attractive, and you could feel the taste even before you put it in your mouth. It has reached its extreme. Yang Ming brought a pair of chopsticks to Wang Xiaoming and said, "Try it."

Wang Xiaoming tasted a little first and gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious."

Master Jiang and Master Chen both looked at it for a while, then took out their chopsticks, each tasted a little, and then fell silent. Yang Ming said: "The price I'll give you, if you're convinced, you can stay. If you're not convinced, you can leave."

Master Jiang glanced at Yang Ming, then looked at his brother-in-law: "Master Yang Ming, are you willing to teach us?"

Yang Ming said: "I won't teach you what to do specifically. If there is something wrong, I will point it out and you can ask me."

"Then I'm willing to stay."

Master Chen agreed before his brother-in-law. When Master Jiang saw that his brother-in-law agreed, he didn't say anything more. In any field, anyone with ambition and pursuit is willing to achieve perfection, and he is no exception.

When Zhang Yiwei and Zhao Xiaoyang saw them talking, they were already secretly eating fried beef river. After taking a bite, these two guys took the plates and started grabbing. Zhang Yiwei said: "I didn't eat enough at noon, this beef river belongs to me."

Zhao Xiaoyang didn't argue with him. He ate a piece of rice noodles with chopsticks and said, "You're such a big loser. You ate three bowls of rice at noon and you still say you're not full. Brother Xiao Ming can hardly afford to feed you!"

Zhang Yiwei shoveled the rice noodles into his mouth and said, "There are two more plates there, you can go and eat that one."

Zhao Xiaoyang tried a little of Master Jiang's stir-fry: "Forget it, I'll wait for dinner at night."

Master Jiang was disliked on the spot and his face turned red.

Wang Xiaoming proudly picked up the beef fried by Master Jiang: "Young people are straight forward and don't know how to speak. Master Jiang, don't mind. In fact, you fried it well. I'll eat it, so as not to waste it."

Master Jiang smiled awkwardly: "Is the boss also a chef?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "I haven't fully graduated yet, Yang Ming is my master."

"Is Yang Ming the head chef?" Master Jiang asked.

Wang Xiaoming said: "He is the chef in our store and also my partner. We opened the store together."

Master Jiang shrank his neck. He is both the boss and the chef, so no wonder he is so arrogant.

Yang Ming said: "Master Jiang is in charge of the second stove, and Xiao Chen is in charge of the third stove."

Master Jiang and Master Chen both nodded in agreement: "Okay."

That's it settled.

Wang Xiaoming didn't understand this, but he didn't ask Yang Ming face to face. He asked him after he went back in the evening. Yang Ming patiently explained to him the division of labor in the kitchen. For example, the first stove is the head chef and is responsible for the main dishes. Zao is the assistant chef and is responsible for more ordinary dishes, while Touzhen and Erzhen are responsible for cutting side dishes and vegetables. Only then did Wang Xiaoming realize that there were so many things to pay attention to in the kitchen.

"Then who am I?"

"Sous chef." Yang Ming said matter-of-factly.

Wang Xiaoming said with a smile: "I seem to be responsible for the second stove's work."

"The second stove is yours to take care of."

"Then I'm under your control?" Wang Xiaoming asked Yang Ming with a smile.

Yang Ming looked into his eyes: "You can do it if you want."

Wang Xiaoming felt that his ears were getting hot. He coughed suddenly and turned away: "I'd better listen to you, Master."

Yang Ming curled his lips.

Before the opening, Wang Xiaoming and Yang Ming finalized twelve waiters and two chefs. The manpower was obviously insufficient and they continued to recruit more.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Yingxu Hotel opened. The entire hotel square was decorated with lights and colorful banners. The outer walls of the hotel were covered with congratulatory banners. There were quite a few people who came to congratulate. The entrance of Haibawang was also much livelier than last time. Zhong Yanhong bought a bunch of flower baskets and sent them over, and they lined up all the way at the gate. It was quite festive.
