Chapter 561 Star Dishes


Chapter 561 Star Dishes

The first day of business reopening was not busy, probably because many diners did not know that Tai Fung House had resumed business, and the attendance rate was far lower than before.

Comrade Wang Xiulian was a little anxious about this. It wasn't until Fang Mei analyzed the reason with her from a professional perspective that she felt relieved and happily started counting sales.

The restaurant has reopened, and the administrative staff in the lobby must be busier than the kitchen staff. In addition, there is a new neighbor next door who is eyeing the restaurant and will soon launch a fierce offensive. Fang Mei's work on the first day of opening is particularly heavy.

Even when Jiang Feng and others had finished cleaning the kitchen and were preparing to pack their things and go home, Fang Mei was still sitting in the lobby studying a pile of documents and reports.

The dim light made Fang Mei's face look even more haggard.

"House Manager, you're still not leaving at this late hour?" Jiang Feng asked with concern.

"Read the customer reviews again, and then leave." Fang Mei smiled at Jiang Feng, "By the way, little boss, I have a question for you, can Master Jiang's chickpea flowers be supplied in large quantities?"

"I mean, can you do it besides him?"

"Ah?" Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment.

"I just took a look at the reviews of the customers who ordered chicken bean curd. They all rated this dish very highly. Mr. Xu Cheng also made a review. If I remember correctly, he should be a very authoritative and famous person in the industry. Food critic. So I'm thinking that if chickpea pudding can be supplied in large quantities, it will soon become a star dish in our store if we ask him to do a little promotion."

"House manager, I'm afraid this is impossible." Jiang Feng smiled bitterly, "Chicken Douhua requires too high a chef's cooking skills, and the only one who can do it is probably my third grandpa. You know the physical condition of the third grandpa. After a while, How many servings can be made in time is the limit.”

Fang Mei nodded thoughtfully and whispered to herself: "That can also be used as a star product with limited supply."

"Little boss, I heard about the situation that our store will encounter recently this morning. My idea is that our store needs to create 1 to 2 star dishes that can attract diners, so that diners can come to us for these dishes. Eat in the store," Fang Mei said.

"Star dish? Doesn't the shredded yam and wontons count?" Jiang Feng almost blurted out.

"There are also Babao Chestnut Pigeon and Watan Huadiao Chicken. These two dishes are also very popular and should be considered star dishes." Wu Minqi, standing next to Jiang Feng, interjected.

Fang Mei and the two explained: "Of course these dishes are considered star dishes, but the caramelized yam and wontons are limited edition, and many diners don't like to rush to buy limited edition dishes. For most diners, they are not so attractive that they are not enough to become popular. The reason why they have to come to the restaurant to eat is that Babao Lixiang Pigeon and Watan Huadiao Chicken are only for VIP users, and they are not very attractive to diners with average financial status.”

"Before I went to work in Shanghai, I worked in high-end hotels abroad for a period of time, and I still have a certain understanding of high-end Western restaurants. If that newly opened French restaurant can make French food that meets the taste of Chinese people, even if It’s expensive and it’s sure to attract a good portion of diners with its location and decor. ”

"Our restaurant is actually on the high-end route, and the prices are much more expensive than ordinary restaurants. In this regard, the diners of our two restaurants actually overlap. In terms of taste, we may not necessarily be able to crush each other to achieve an overwhelming victory. Under the circumstances, I think we should look for new ways to attract diners, such as creating one or two star dishes that can be catered to all groups of diners.”

"First of all, these dishes must taste good. The price can be high but not ridiculously high. It is best to have a more refined appearance and a way to share and show off at all times. Only in this way can it be spread on a large scale and attract new customers to dine in the store." Fang Mei road.

Hearing Fang Mei say this, the name of a dish suddenly appeared in Jiang Feng's mind.

"Manager Room, what do you think of Li Hongzhang's chowder?"

"The dishes should be normal and not the kind that makes people cry after eating them." Fang Mei almost blurted out.

Jiang Feng:...

"It's not the kind that makes people cry after eating it. What I mean is to make a low-end version of Li Hongzhang's chowder. You have seen this dish before. It looks good and the pot is large. We can use smaller utensils. It’s dressed up but the appearance remains the same. Since the quantity is smaller, the price can be reduced appropriately. I can assure you that there is basically no difference in taste and it will definitely not make people cry after eating it.”

“The most important thing is that this dish can be made on an assembly line, so you don’t have to worry about the slow serving speed.”

Fang Mei's heart was moved. She had seen Li Hongzhang's chowder before, and she had also seen how miserable the guests who ate Li Hongzhang's chowder cried.

Before eating it, who would have thought that such a beautiful and delicious dish would make people cry after eating it.

"I will discuss this with others tomorrow and ask Master Jiang for their opinions." Fang Mei hesitated and couldn't help but ask again, "Can we really guarantee that the guests will not cry after eating?" < br>


Jiang Feng:...

To put it bluntly, you still don’t believe me.

"It's absolutely guaranteed!" Jiang Feng said with a serious look on his face, almost saying that I am willing to use my personality to guarantee such nonsense.

"Then why did the guests you cooked before cry after eating it?" Fang Mei looked suspicious.

Jiang Feng:...

"Ahem, this, that, it's actually, room manager, don't you think that dishes that make you cry are attractive to guests? If I remember correctly, there should be many guests in our store who come here specifically to eat Li Hongzhang's chowder ”

Fang Mei shook her head.

Jiang Feng:...

"We're going back first. Room manager, please go home early." Jiang Feng put on a bright smile and pulled Wu Minqi away.

On the way back, Wu Minqi kept thinking about Fang Mei's last question.

"Fengfeng, I think the room manager is right to ask. Since you can do something normal, why haven't you done it before?" Wu Minqi asked.

Jiang Feng was speechless and choked for a moment. He was silent for a long time. He held Wu Minqi's hand and walked half a street before saying, "Just for the characteristics."

"Qiqi, don't you think...this kind of dish is actually unique?" Jiang Feng felt guilty at the end.

Wu Minqi nodded: "I also think it's quite unique. My grandfather often said that to be a chef, you need to make dishes with your own personal style and characteristics. Fengfeng, you are actually right to think so."

"By the way Fengfeng, Master Huang should come to confirm with you tomorrow about your second grandfather. Have you thought about how to confirm this kind of thing? I asked Dong Shi today, and he said that your second grandfather passed away. I didn’t leave any photos very early on, and it seems that Master Huang’s master’s surname is not Jiang. You probably don’t have any photos of your second grandfather. Now that he is gone and his name has changed, how can you be sure about this? Do you know if there is anything left to identify your relatives?" Wu Minqi said.

"There will be a way." Jiang Feng felt that this was not a problem, "If it really doesn't work, let Master Huang cook two dishes, and grandpa and third grandpa cook two dishes. Don't you know if they come from the same school? It's easy. .”

"Yes." (End of this chapter)
