The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Chapter 33 Dinner, Su Chen’s confidence
  Bai Xiaobo is no longer in the company.

According to the latest working hours released by Su Chen, Meili has made certain adjustments to its employees' working hours in order to better suit the company's business operations.

Morning: 10:00 to 14:00
  Afternoon: 16:00 to 20:00
  This time adjustment was well received by all employees.

Living in a relatively backward second-tier small city, being able to have a job that only goes to work at ten in the morning, this kind of happiness is only known to those who like to stay up late, how enjoyable it is!

After careful consideration.

Su Chen also decided to temporarily limit the service content to lunch and dinner. Breakfast currently only provides large elbow meat buns, plus ordinary millet porridge.

The employees can prepare the ingredients such as elbows and onions a day in advance. Su Chen only needs to get up an hour early to make a lot of steamed buns.

As for lunch and dinner, due to the special nature of customized services, there is also sufficient preparation time.

After temporarily handling all the urgent matters of the company, Su Chen returned to leisure.

He was not satisfied with the turnover of [-] at noon. According to this progress, he would not be able to earn rent money by the end of this month.

But there are some things where there's no point in rushing.

Su Chen was half-lying on the recliner, squinting his eyes to bask in the sun, and constantly reviewing his player board in his mind.

Player name: Su Chen

Level: 1 (899/1000)

Skills: stir fry (max level), steam (max level)
  Items: none
  Main mission: Repay money and debt (progress 10.8%)

Side mission: Bringing back the dead (progress 0.01%)

Hidden tasks: none
  System function: Food practice room (limited time)
  What was thought to be an easy task has now turned out to be extremely slow. The task of repaying the subsidy would have been difficult to achieve if Li Mingtao hadn't brought people to eat.

Everything seemed to be in a quagmire again.

Su Chen pinched his eyebrows and prepared to enter the gourmet training room to practice his knife skills again.

"Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, and the moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach. Is there anyone who can"

The phone rang.

"noob?"

After changing the attendance time, employees chose to go home to rest during the two hours of afternoon break.

Su Chen didn't expect to call himself at this time.

"Boss! Boss!" Bai Xiaobo's tone was urgent, "Something happened!"

"Speak slowly." Su Chen sat up from the recliner.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but suddenly there are so many customers coming!”

Even through the phone, Su Chen could feel Bai Xiaobo's shock, "Isn't that a good thing?"

"It's a good thing, there are a lot of them, and I'm replying to them like crazy!"

Su Chen suddenly couldn't understand Xiaobai's operation. "It's a good thing that there are many customers. What are you anxious about? Just sort out the customer needs step by step, and then send me the plan."

Bai Xiaobo was sitting in front of his computer at home, totally confused.

Yeah, what am I anxious about?
  It's a good thing to have customers, why should I be in a hurry?
  "Boss, I'd better go to the company first!"

Su Chen hummed and hung up the phone.

The traffic pressure in the afternoon was relatively light, and Bai Xiaobo appeared in the company in only fifteen minutes, along with Liu Shengnan and He Shuting.

"How many customers?" Su Chen had been waiting in the office area for a long time.

Bai Xiaobo took a breath, "Currently there are 24 confirmed customers for dinner, 51 customers for tomorrow morning, and 76 customers for noon tomorrow!"

This is the data he compiled on the bus.

"Oh my god, why are so many people here suddenly? Shu Ting, did you post our company online?" Liu Shengnan jumped up excitedly.

"No." He Shuting was also confused. When he saw Bai Xiaobo chatting privately, he ran to the company and wondered what was going on along the way. "I thought it was the client you were looking for."

Su Chen knocked on the table, "Let Xiaobai speak first."

Bai Xiaobo agreed, "I sorted it out and found that these customers have one thing in common! Their food requirements are almost the same as those of the customers who came at noon. To sum up, they are: affordable, delicious and not expensive!"

"Almost all of them?" Su Chen asked. "Hmm." Xiaobai said as he turned on the computer. "I put all the customers in a table. The common points are obvious, and the budget is basically within that range."

"Talk about it." Su Chen continued.

It stands to reason that Su Chen only needs to listen to Xiaobai's plan, but it is a bit counterintuitive to suddenly have so many customers, and it is necessary to learn more about it in detail.

"First of all, their dining time is very fixed, and they hope to have breakfast before 7:50 in the morning. For dinner, their dining needs are almost always at 18:00, and the same is true for lunch, which is on time at 12:00."

"Have you noticed a problem?" He Shuting held her cheek, "This time is very much like an office worker's commuting time."

Liu Shengnan nodded, "Aren't the few who had lunch today the friends brought by Director Li? I even looked at them when they left, and they all went to the building opposite."

"Oh?" Su Chen thought of a possibility, "Could it be that these people are employees of the company in the building opposite? That makes sense."

Bai Xiaobo didn't care about this, "Boss, these are my two plans. Because brunch is tomorrow, the plans are not available yet."

Su Chen nodded and turned his attention to Xiaobai's computer.

[The average budget for dinner customers is 50 yuan. 】

[Plan 48: Pickled fish + eggplant stewed with potatoes + staple food rice. The pickled fish is priced at 10 yuan, half portion of eggplant stewed with potatoes is 1 yuan per person, and all-you-can-eat staple food is 59 yuan per person. Per capita: [-] yuan. 】

[Option [-]: Corn kernels, mushrooms, winter melon, and eggplant can be used for vegetables, and frozen pork belly can be used for meat. Make one meat and one vegetarian dish. 】

Although the second plan is a bit sloppy, Su Chen can understand it.

Xiaobai's responsibility is to select ingredients that suit the budget, and it is up to Su Chen to decide what to do.

However, the first plan is still makeshift. It combines the already mature dishes into a small set meal, including meat and vegetables, as well as soup, which is not bad.

Bai Xiaobo looked at Su Chen expectantly.

"Well" Su Chen thought for a moment, "How much of these ingredients are still in reserve now?"

Liu Shengnan immediately took over, "Boss, there are 518 bags of fish fillets, about 200 kilograms of eggplants, 500 kilograms of potatoes, 300 boxes of canned corn kernels, 400 kilograms of pork belly, and shiitake mushrooms."

"Okay." Su Chen waved his hand.

He already knew it.

Basically, there are relatively few fruits and vegetables, and there are more dry goods and frozen goods. The top priority now is to consume fish, meat, fruits and vegetables!

The texture and taste of these two types of ingredients will differ every day.

Su Chen paused, "You can have pickled fish and fish. Eggplant and potatoes are temporarily excluded."

Don't be afraid of potatoes.

"Remove the potatoes and only eat the eggplant. As the staple food, rice, follow Xiaobai's first plan! However, the portions of all the prepared dishes should be doubled!"

Although he changed a dish, but got the boss's approval, Bai Xiaobo felt that his whole body was full of strength, and the previous "waste feeling" was gone.

"Twice?" Liu Shengnan hesitated, "Boss, is twice too much? I'm not saying we can't finish it. I mean, twice is already beyond the client's budget. What's left will be left by then."

A qualified financial officer must also know how to control costs.

Su Chen shook his head, "Do as I say."

Seeing that everyone was still sitting, Su Chen clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay! You all know the process of pickled fish, steam the rice, process the pickled cabbage and fish fillets! Everything is moving!"

Liu Shengnan and He Shuting are very good at handling sauerkraut now, and their movements are much quicker than the first time.

Bai Xiaobo.
  48 pounds of black fish fillets were distributed into eight huge stainless steel basins.

Although you like some things very much, if you do them too much, you will feel overwhelmed! ! !
  The slippery and tender touch made Bai Xiaobo take a deep breath.

For the company, rush!

As for Su Chen, choosing to prepare ingredients twice as much as the client’s budget was not just a whim.

This time, after letting the employees work in the kitchen, Su Chen returned to the office and chose a very comfortable position to lie down.

Light flashed.

[Remaining time in the food practice room: 7:08:33]
