Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 129 Seriously Insufficient Manpower!

After receiving the call from the staff of the expo, Xu An fell into ecstasy. His mind was full of how much profit he could get from more than 2000 lunch boxes, and how to maximize the benefits of this cooperation...

But the reality quickly gave Xu An a slap in the face, making him calm down quickly.

Today, Xu's fast food restaurant has a total of about [-] servings. After unloading the ingredients at six o'clock, more than a dozen people began to get busy. At seven o'clock, Xu An and Zhou Qi began to stand in front of the stove, One person controls two pots for cooking.

One pot can cook about 25 people at a time. The high-fire stove can greatly reduce the time required for cooking. Usually, it takes fifteen to twenty-ten minutes to cook dishes at home. With the blessing of the high-fire stove, only It takes about 10 minutes to cook.

With such high efficiency, Xu An and Zhou Qi still had to work non-stop from 10:30 am to [-]:[-] am to complete the cooking of the day's dishes.

Unless Xu An can immediately find two to three chefs with good physical strength and many years of work experience, it will be very difficult to complete the order of the fair even if it goes on.

But chefs with good physical strength and many years of work experience are so easy to find. The previous recruitment entrusted to two intermediary companies has not been followed up until now.

Later, I found five other intermediary companies to recruit at the same time, but there was still no news.

It is even more difficult to recruit two or three chefs who meet their requirements in a short period of time.

Do we have to give up the opportunity of the expo?
Xu An asked himself in his heart, and the answer he got was unwilling!
According to information on the Internet, one-fifth of the companies participating in the exhibition are local companies in Haishi.

In other words, the reputation of Xu's fast food restaurant can be spread to companies or factories that need to order boxed lunches more quickly and comprehensively through this expo.

This is accurate propaganda!

But in order to complete this order, the first thing to do is that the lunch box production capacity of Xu's fast food restaurant can meet the supply demand.

Just when Xu An was thinking about how to bypass manpower and directly meet the unrealistic problem of production capacity demand, an ordinary, 50-year-old man with a medium build and short hair walked into Xu's fast food restaurant.

After he entered the store, he was not in a hurry to pay the bill, but instead inspected Xu's fast food restaurant with a serious expression.

After looking inside and outside the places that the No. [-] shop and No. [-] shop allowed guests to visit, the man felt a little doubt in his heart.

There is only one chef working in the kitchen of the No. [-] store, and there is no master in the kitchen of the No. [-] store. As for the helper who washes and cuts vegetables, none of them are seen.

But Xu's fast food restaurant is full of guests, and the hot food counter is full of meals. Where did these meals come from?
The middle-aged, flat-headed man who couldn't figure out the reason chose to order a fast food, thinking while eating.

When the man entered the store, Xu An didn't pay much attention.

But the man wandered around the store several times, looking here and there, all kinds of behaviors told Xu An clearly that he was here to visit the store, Xu An had to pay attention to what the man wanted to do.

It shouldn't be someone from the expo who came to inspect it. I hung up the phone just now, so someone came here?This is unlikely.

However, after wandering around for a few times, this person honestly bought food for money, nothing unusual, so Xu An withdrew his gaze and continued to dream of his Spring and Autumn Dream.

The main dish chosen by the crew-cut man is spicy chicken. Pieces of plump and tender golden chicken nuggets are hidden in the red peppers. The outer layer of the chicken nuggets is covered with dense white sesame seeds, which adds a unique flavor to it.

The second dish is a regular scrambled egg with tomato. The fried chicken nuggets are bright yellow, tender and soft, fully absorbing the tomato soup and neutralizing the fruity sour taste of the tomato. The potential aroma of tomatoes and the combination of red, yellow and green can easily arouse people's appetite.

The man scooped up a spoonful of tomato scrambled egg soup and poured it on the white rice. The red soup quickly slid down the cracks of the rice. After a while, the rice was dyed a light red by the soup, which is already conceivable. The sweet and sour taste of rice.

But now is not the time to taste, the man looked at the last dish on the plate - minced meat and beans.

The beans are not fresh beans, but capers that have been marinated and have a unique flavor.

The minced meat marinated with seasonings in advance presents an attractive sauce color after being stir-fried, and the sour aroma of capers stimulated by high temperature evokes human taste buds and desire to eat.

As a fast food worth eight yuan, whether it is the dishes, the weight or the appearance, it has already reached the passing line.

Picking up the spoon, the man scooped up a spoonful of rice that was full of soup, and the rice, which was originally only [-] percent, tasted [-] percent under the blessing of the soup, which is quite remarkable.

Spicy chicken, tomato scrambled eggs, minced meat beans and white rice disappeared into the bloody mouth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, he drank the winter melon tofu soup in one gulp, and the man finally burped for a long time, and sat down on the chair with a contented smile on his face.

After a short rest, the man stood up from his seat, walked straight to Xu An and stood still, staring at Xu An resolutely: "Boss Xu, I am Liu Daxi who was introduced by Sihai Human Resources Agency to apply for a job as a chef."

Xu An subconsciously glanced at Koukou, and noted that in the chat box of Sihai Human Resources Agency, the chat time stagnated five days ago.

"They called me, but I didn't agree." Liu Daxi explained: "I want to see the real situation of your store before making a plan. Now I have checked it again, and I am quite satisfied with your fast food restaurant."

So crazy, so proud, so domineering, I just don't know how capable this person is.

Xu An stood up from his seat, met Liu Daxi's gaze, and smiled gently: "Master Liu, please."

After all, Xu An strode forward and brought him to the No. [-] store of Xu's fast food restaurant.

Since Aunt He's friend came over, Zhou Qi has been completely freed from the work of cooking. After eleven o'clock, it is basically free time for activities. Now he is idly moving a stool and sitting by the sink, talking with Aunt He Several people were talking and laughing very unhappy.

Zhou Qi, who was laughing, turned his head inadvertently, and saw Xu An walking towards this side and Liu Daxi walking behind Xu An, the expression on his face froze immediately, just like a mischievous child seeing an adult , quickly stood at attention, pretending to be cute.

It was only after I stood still that I realized that I am now an independent chef, and I am no longer a helper when I call it.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still called him honestly: "Master Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Daxi was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhou Qi addressing him. After searching in his mind for a long time, he couldn't find any memory related to Zhou Qi. He couldn't help showing a bit of doubt on his face: "You are?"

"I worked at the Royal Banquet Hotel in 04, when you were the chef in the Royal Banquet Hotel." Zhou Qi scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I am a helper inside, and you have taught me several times."

"Oh!" Liu Daxi looked suddenly enlightened, but in fact he still didn't think of Zhou Qi: "Then are you working in Xu's fast food restaurant now?"

"Yes, I'm the chef of Xu's fast food restaurant now." Zhou Qi's tone was very modest, but the expression on his face was very proud.

Going from a small helper to a chef of a fast food restaurant may not be a big deal for a master like Liu Daxi, but for Zhou Qi who was born as a helper, it is quite remarkable.

"Oh! You cooked all the three dishes and one soup in the store today?" Liu Daxi was slightly surprised in his tone.

"Yes." Zhou Qi nodded and quickly added: "I cooked with the boss."

boss?

Liu Daxi glanced at the young man standing beside him calmly. He didn't expect that the owner of this fast food restaurant could also cook, and his level was quite good.

"Master Liu, since you are applying for a job as a chef, how about I ask you a question?" Xu An interrupted the endless exchange of pleasantries between the two. When they become colleagues in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to chat.

"Yes." Liu Daxi nodded without hesitation, quite confident in himself: "Boss Xu, come up with a question."

Xu An glanced at the ingredients in the store, and blurted out the names of three dishes: "Lettuce in oyster sauce, hot and sour potato shreds, and scrambled eggs with bitter gourd."

"Row!"

After Liu Daxi nodded, he walked unceremoniously to the vegetable basket, and began to look through the vegetables inside, picking up a vegetable from time to time and holding it under his nose to smell it.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it, the quality of vegetables in this fast food restaurant is quite high!
Maybe there is still a little gap with the big hotels I have worked in, but it can beat 90.00% of the fast food restaurants on the market.

No wonder the taste of the dishes is so good, the quality of the vegetables is a plus.

After picking out the vegetables, Liu Daxi walked to the back kitchen, got acquainted with the kitchen utensils a little bit, and then began to show off his skills.

While Liu Daxi was busy in the kitchen, Xu An quietly approached Zhou Qi and asked in a low voice who this person was from.

From the conversation between the two just now, it can be known that Zhou Qi is quite familiar with Liu Daxi.
