Chapter 29 Lin Zhao Expedition
That night.
The lights in Baiweixuan are brightly lit. Two chefs who have been taught by Lin Zhao to "recipe" are working hard to hold a large spoon. Two pots of fragrant crayfish are about to be released. Just aside, the boss Jia Chong, the boss's wife, Qing's sister-in-law, and Lin Zhao, who they call the "three shopkeepers", gather together to count the income of the day.
In the end, Jia Chong's stroke of his pen could not hide his joy, and said, "Excluding costs and expenses, today's net income is 5,348 copper plates. According to the original 20% profit, Lin Zhao, your income today is 1,000 copper plates!"
Lin Zhao smiled slightly and said, "It's not bad, if that's the case... Xiao Jiuer's tuition fee will be settled."
While counting the copper plate, Qing'er's wife smiled and said, "Lin Zhao, it's my sister-in-law who looked down on the dog's eyes. I really didn't expect that you kid had such a skill. No one dared to eat the shrimp in the entire town and even the entire Shang Dynasty. You made it a famous dish. Our shop also made a prosperous business because of this dish~~"
On the side, Jia Chong was happy: "If this profit continues, you can also build the small building of the next grocery store in half a month. Let's expand the store and make it bigger and stronger."
Lin Zhao thought for a while and said, "Actually, if there is only one dish, it may not be enough to support a decent restaurant."
Jia Chong was stunned: "Why, you guys have other ideas?"
"Um."
Lin Zhao nodded and said, "I will try to make a few more dishes in the next few days. If you try it, if you think it tastes good, we will add the menu. If there are three or five decent dishes that are widely praised, it will be difficult for our store's business to gain a lot of money."
"Okay, okay!"
Jia Chong nodded repeatedly: "I listen to you in terms of dishes. You have many ideas!"
"The rules are still the same. I will draw 20% of the profit."
"OK!"
...
The next day, Lin Zhao took Xiao Shitou and Xiaojiuer on holiday to fish together. In the morning, he caught a large grass carp weighing at least two kilograms. So he immediately packed up and went to Baiweixuan, called Jia Chong, Qing's sister-in-law and two chefs over, then cut garlic, coriander, pickled cabbage and other seasonings in front of everyone, cut fish slices, thicken the flour, then cooked the base, poured the fish slices, and finally stir-fried the fragrant pepper and dried chili on the fish slices, so another famous dish was released from the pot.
"Try it?" Lin Zhao said with a smile.
Everyone pulled out the chopsticks from the chopsticks one by one. After Jia Chong took a bite, his eyes lit up, sour and spicy, and the fish was refreshing. He couldn't help but nod and praised: "It's amazing!"
"You can drink."
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "A bite of aged wine and a bite of fish fillets, you can try again."
"Um!"
Jia Chong immediately drank a sip of Xinghua Village. In fact, the degree of this kind of ancient winemaking was not high. Lin Zhao tried it. The alcohol content of Xinghua Village was about 20 degrees. If this degree of wine was accompanied by fish fillets and sauerkraut, it was definitely a perfect match. As a result, after taking a sip of the wine, Jia Chong squinted his eyes: "Miaomiaomiao..."
After tasting the dishes, the two chefs were shocked. They thought spicy crayfish were already the best among the dishes, but they didn't expect that this dish would be even better now. No one would have thought that a mere grass carp would become such a delicious food.
"Lin Zhao!"
Sister Qing'er smiled and said, "What's the name of this dish?"
"Sauerkraut fish!"
Lin Zhao slapped his chest and said, "The famous dish passed down from generation to generation is the best in the world!"
Jia Chongdawei was shocked: "You kid... how could you know about this dish? I have been in the world for decades, and there is no omission in the secrets of the cooking industry, but I have never heard of the supreme delicacy of pickled fish in the world."
Lin Zhao scratched his head: "Actually, I don't know much about what's going on. This dish suddenly popped up in my mind. It seems that in my previous life, I was a chef who made this dish every day, so I knew all the recipes and methods. In short, this dish can be included in the first menu of our Baiweixuan, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Jia Chong nodded: "The peerless dish must be the best!"
“Required.”
Lin Zhao thought for a while and said, "There are a few more dishes left. Let's wait and add them to the menu one by one."
"good!"
Jia Chong narrowed his eyes. Now his Lin Zhao's eyes are no longer beggars. In his eyes, this kid is simply a cooking military advisor and God of Wealth!
...
In the afternoon, Lin Zhao took Xiao Shitou to Baiyu Creek to touch the snails, made a snail with good color, aroma and flavor, and then used the ingredients in the store to make a portion of Mapo tofu and Dapeng chicken. At this point, the signature dishes in the store were much richer. In the evening, the old Jianxian, who claimed to be a foodie, came again. After eating Dapeng and sauerkraut fish, he praised it and even performed the unique skills of Feixian on the spot, which attracted constant cheers from the sergeant, the sergeant and other soldiers present.
For a moment, Baiweixuan, a restaurant ranked last in the town, was in the limelight.
It's night.
Lin Zhao found Jia Chong and gave him a list of ingredients and preparation methods. He looked very serious and said, "The recipes for several dishes are here, especially the ingredients. You must make them yourself, otherwise others will learn them once they are taught. There is another problem in addition to it, we must pay attention to it."
Jia Chong looked serious, like an apprentice who was humbly asking for advice in front of the master, and said, "You said!"
“The chef’s problem.”
Lin Zhao said: "Our two chefs have basically learned everything except ingredients. Can you ensure that Hua Qianshu in Qian Street? The people in Mingyuxuan restaurants will not come to poach people? After all, the advantages of dishes and wine must be given. Do you know how to keep these two chefs?"
"Put the grass into incense, and make a golden orchid with them?"
"Breaking the truth..."
Lin Zhao was in a dark line and taught earnestly: "First of all, if you give them a salary increase, it will increase tomorrow, and it will increase five times the salary directly. Of course, this is just the first step. As a boss, you should know better how to grasp people's hearts and raise their salary, but the premise is to sign an employment agreement with you. Within five years, they must not change jobs. Otherwise, ten times the salary you paid. I have observed that we two chefs are not people with great prospects. Five times the salary will definitely make them devote themselves to their hearts. They will definitely sign a contract with you smoothly. If they are really going to be poached, they will have to pay fifty times the salary. Do you guess they are willing to change jobs?"
"It's amazing!"
Jia Chong clapped his hands: "Boy, you are still very deep!"
Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I'll praise you later. Now the second question has arisen. We have kept two chefs, but how can you ensure that although there are no people in the restaurants in front of Hua Qianshu, they spend a lot of money to buy two chefs to teach them our signature dishes?"
Jia Chong trembled all over: "Yes, this is another problem."
“So it.”
Lin Zhao raised a finger: "The second way of agreement has emerged. After you sign a five-year personal account with them, you will give them a salary from five times to six times. As the price of salary increases, they will sign a confidentiality agreement, requiring them to never tell the recipe and formula, otherwise they will have to compensate more money."
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Jia Chong looked at Lin Zhao and said, "How could you... know so many things?"
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I figured it out myself. After all, this store now has a 20% commission of my profit. I can't worry about it. Brother Jia, if you can't make money, won't I also not make money?"
“That’s right…”
“By the way.”
Lin Zhao showed a look of shyness and said, "Brother Jia, I have another unhappy request."
"You said, Brother Lin!"
"I mean, if I don't have anything to do in the town, you have to take care of Xiaojiuer and Xiaoshitou. If they don't cook, I will ask them to come to our Baiweixuan directly. Just let the chef cook two side dishes at will to let them have enough food."
"What's wrong with this?"
Jia Chong patted his chest: "Our Baiweixuan welcomes at least one or two hundred people every day. Are you still short of these two little guys' two pairs of chopsticks? I said, Brother Lin, you are so distant. They are all your own family. Why are you so polite? I also watched the little stone and the little wine, I grew up, they are all from neighbors, so what can I do if I take care of them?"
"Okay, Brother Jia is righteous! He is righteous!"
"It should be like this, it should be like this..."
...
late at night.
After Lin Zhao and Xiao Shitou practiced boxing together, Xiao Jiuer had already fallen asleep covered with a quilt. At this time, there were bursts of rapid sounds of horse hooves outside, without interruption, and it seemed that a cavalry was entering the town one after another.
"What's going on, Brother Lin Zhao?"
Xiao Shitou asked with a glaring look.
"have no idea."
Lin Zhao looked out the window and frowned and said, "There may be a war again, who knows?"
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Lin Zhao stood up and went to open the door. Under the moonlight, the armor of a Tianchi army soldier was shrouded in a layer of cold light. He glanced at Lin Zhao and said, "Are you Lin Zhao?"
"Yes, what happened?!"
"Don't ask so much. Go to the military camp early tomorrow morning to report that your reserve time has ended and you must go to the battlefield."
"Yeah, I got it."
Lin Zhao was not afraid to go to the battlefield. On the contrary, he was already a third-level martial artist and wanted to learn more about the outside world. However, one thing can be confirmed that the Tianchi Army is too short of troops now, otherwise it would not have allowed a young recruit as young as Lin Zhao to go to the battlefield.
...
Early the next morning, Lin Zhao packed his luggage, carried the ancient sword and the iron sword distributed by the military camp, and explained to Xiao Shitou and Xiao Jiuer that when he was no longer, Xiao Shitou would send Xiao Jiuer to school every day. In addition, if the two of them didn't want to cook, they would go to Baiweixuan for dinner. He had already explained to the boss. As for the expenses, they could withdraw from the boss Baiweixuan and would keep accounts one by one.
