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

Chapter 42 Never fought such a rich battle

“Three three three seems to be thirty thousand!!!”

Bai Xiaobo felt that he was starting to feel awkward when speaking. He used his fingernails to count the zeros on the screen again, "It's really thirty thousand!"

Su Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm his mind as much as possible.

"Boss, they are talking again!"

Everyone gathered around to see Bai Xiaobo's cell phone.

[Zhang Li: This document is the customer’s specific information. We need to see the dish plan you provide before noon. Can you think of it? 】

"What's the answer, boss!"

Su Chen frowned slightly while holding the phone. In two hours, he made a plan for fifteen dishes?
  We were really pressed for time, but the budget was too hard to refuse.

"Don't be in a hurry to reply. Meililai has never fought such a rich battle before. Give me some time to read the information."

The other party also made it very clear that no one knows what the customer's needs are, and we can only speculate based on the customer's situation.

Su Chen opened the customer information and muttered silently, "A native of Hubei Province, he studied abroad after graduating from high school, and then returned to China and worked in the capital. Tsk!"

Hearing Su Chen's chirping, Liu Shengnan asked with concern, "What's wrong, boss? Isn't it hard to deal with?"

Su Chen nodded, "The human stomach has memory. Whatever you eat when you grow up, you will always think about that mouthful in the future. Preparing meals for this customer must be based on the taste in his memory. If it is from other places, People are okay, but this Hubei Province”

"Boss, what happened to Hubei Province?" He Shuting was also a little confused.

Su Chen returned the phone to Bai Xiaobo and smiled helplessly, "E Province is located to the north of Dongting Lake in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is rich in natural products and is also a land and water transportation center.

This leads to the fact that the dishes of Hubei Province have no obvious characteristics. Instead, they are a fusion of the taste of dishes from other provinces. Therefore, if you want to make Hubei dishes well, it is difficult to work hard on seasoning. "

Su Chen's simple words made several employees' eyes look dull.

"Boss, how do you know so much?" Xiao Bin rubbed his head, "I have also studied geography, but I never thought it could be related to the dishes."

Of course Su Chen wouldn't say that this was all knowledge that he had to memorize when he was a host in the past.

Whenever you go to a place, you must understand the local catering culture and historical development before shooting a video. This is your responsibility to the fans and to the store.

Otherwise, it would be easy to happen that "this is how it tastes, but the anchor says it doesn't taste good because he doesn't like it."

"I like cooking. I usually like to watch these things when I have nothing to do." Su Chen made a fool of himself, "Since we can't work hard on the seasoning, we can only work hard on the ingredients."

If the budget is three thousand, Su Chen can make the inventory in his warehouse taste like five thousand.

But if the budget is [-], this is not that simple.

Cooking techniques and seasoning alone are no longer enough to meet this level of budget.

The clients all pulled out the Italian cannon of the second battalion commander, but you said you were just going to hit a small village?
  "What should we do now?" As a product manager, Bai Xiaobo felt for the first time that this position was not that easy to do. Compared with his boss, his knowledge was so lacking!
  Su Chen lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"We have to start with the ingredients. Some of the ingredients may need to be purchased in Hubei Province."

"Ah?" Bai Xiaobo opened his mouth wide, "Boss, logistics is so advanced now, what can't be bought? Do you still have to go to Hubei Province?"

Su Chen shook his head, "The logistics is too late, and buying it locally is not good."

Su Chen used to have a friend from Hubei Province. Every time the two of them made videos together, this friend never ate fish.

It just doesn't taste good.

Asked him to say why it didn't taste good, he couldn't tell. It just meant that it was different from their own fish in Hubei Province.

It wasn't until Su Chen went to Hubei Province and personally tasted the fish there that he realized what a supreme affirmation it was to be able to write "drinking water from the Yangtze River and eating Wuchang fish" in a poem!
  "Like this." Su Chen picked up the pen and paper on the table and thought as he wrote, "For the aquatic products, I'll make steamed Wuchang fish, fish cake balls, sea cucumbers with scallops, and braised scallops with shiitake mushrooms."

These are four dishes, almost all of which are local aquatic products from Hubei Province.

Moreover, these aquatic products must be purchased locally in Hubei Province. If they are farmed aquatic products purchased from other places, they may appear to be the same thing, but in fact, both the taste and taste will be greatly compromised.

"Meat and vegetables" Su Chen racked his brains and wrote down four dishes with some hesitation.

Steamed pork with rice flour, roasted Sanhe, eight-treasure pumpkin cup, stir-fried bacon with cabbage.

These dishes, just by the names of them, made all the employees at Delicious Food look confused. It's obviously a very common name for a dish, and I can understand it, but it seems like I haven't eaten any of it.

"The poultry is made into slippery shredded pork, which is a nine-course meal."

Su Chen was talking to himself. The pen tip paused on the paper for a moment and then continued to write, "Forget game. Firstly, it is difficult to buy, and secondly, it is easy to encounter red lines. Make some vegetarian dishes."

"Frost mushrooms, sweet-scented osmanthus sweet potato cakes, fried crispy balls, honey-sweet lotus roots."

Counting on your fingers, there are only thirteen dishes!

Su Chen felt like his head was going to be bald, "Let's make pork ribs and lotus root soup, and let's have a regular guest at folk banquets, Pearl Yuanzi!"

No more, no less, fifteen dishes.

It includes aquatic products, poultry, meat and vegetables, soups, and staple foods.

No matter where this specification is placed, it will definitely be a decent banquet.

"First give this plan to the customer, and I will write another list for the purchase of ingredients."

Su Chen has already racked his brains just thinking about these dozen dishes. As for the specific ingredients that need to be purchased, he still can't write them down for a while.

after all
  Su Chen has only eaten it, but has not made it himself. He still has to use the system's recipe synthesis function to try it.

"Boss, do you really need to go to Hubei Province to buy things?" Bai Xiaobo couldn't believe it.

The names of these dishes are ordinary, they are nothing more than chicken, duck, fish, meat and various fruits and vegetables. Can they not be bought in a second-tier city as big as Jingzhou?
  Su Chen nodded decisively, "Don't worry about anything else. You must go to Hubei Province to buy fish and lotus roots."

The lotus roots in Jingzhou are all purchased from other places. They taste crisp and even a bit like radishes!

Hubei Province is different. Good lotus roots are soft and waxy, and only lotus roots from Hubei Province can truly make the lotus roots stick together.

For example, some pork and chicken can indeed be purchased locally, which is harmless.

Seeing Xiaobai and the others looking at each other, Su Chen also knew that they were not ready to travel far yet.

"The client dares to give us a budget of [-] yuan, but we can't fight such a rich battle beautifully? You don't care whether it's Ping'an County or northwestern Shanxi, just let me blast the Italian artillery and that's it!"

Su Chen spoke sonorously and forcefully. Seeing that everyone was still silent, he immediately brought out his trump card, "Don't forget the [-]% service fee!!!"

That was actually given to everyone as bonuses.

Bai Xiaobo stood up suddenly, "Shoot like me! Grandma, do it!"

"Dry!"

"Why don't you just go to Hubei Province and do it!"

Seeing that everyone was getting more energetic, Su Chen raised his hand and lowered his head with satisfaction, "Start now."

"Bai Xiaobo is responsible for connecting with customers and taking action immediately after getting the budget."

"Liu Shengnan, contact the car rental company, buy a fish tank, and bring all the aquatic products back, I want to live!!!"

"He Shuting, pack some things for you three for the road, and be ready to go at any time!"

He Shuting was stunned for a moment, "Ah? I'm going too?"

"Of course we will go. The three of us will take turns driving. The round trip will take almost 20 hours. I will leave you one day to buy things."

"Boss, Brother Chen! I can also drive!" Xiao Bin raised his hand excitedly, "I have a driving license and I just got here a few days ago!"

Su Chen glared, "You and Aunt Fang are buying ingredients for me in Jingzhou these days. There are still a lot of things that need to be bought. This time I am not afraid of the price, but the quality is not good!"

If you have money, you will be tough to talk about!

Everything is arranged and everyone goes about their business.

Su Chen began to lock the door tightly in the office and put the menu list in front of him.

Compositing Crazy!
