Perhaps it was because the old husband Cai and the husband of the Zhao family both drank, and then it seemed that nothing happened, and some other husbands also started to eat.
They also figured it out now, since Mr. Cai dared to entertain guests with this dessert, he must be sure to eat it all right. Moreover, both the old husband Cai and the husband of the Zhao family ate it. If they didn't eat it, it would feel as if they would not give the old husband Cai any face.
What's more, if you put aside the remarks that the white fungus will make the skin itchy, the taste of this dessert is really good.
Of course, there are also people who care about the remarks that the white fungus cannot be eaten.
When Mr. Cai saw it, he stopped persuading him to eat this Tremella, Red Date and Lotus Seed Soup, and let him have some other snacks, and smiled.
On the other hand, the husband of the Zhao family gave the husband Huang a thoughtful look, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips and smiled, then turned his head to continue chatting with the old husband Cai.
After sending off those husbands and brothers, Old Master Cai said to Yu Qingze and Brother Le: "The dim sum is delicious, and this Tremella, Red Dates and Lotus Seed Soup is also delicious, and the other husbands also like it. Thank you for your hard work. ."
Yu Qingze smiled and said, "It's good to help the old man."
Mr. Cai said with a smile: "Thanks to you, the flower viewing will be very successful. You are busy recently, so I will not leave you. After the busy time, the shop will stabilize, you must come and sit, Wei Er and the others are all shuttlecocks. I played really well, and I want to compete with you guys."
Hearing this, Yu Qingze agreed immediately and smiled: "Okay. The old man, let's say goodbye first."
"Okay, let's go."
After leaving the Cai Mansion, Yu Qingze said to Brother Le, "Brother Le, I think we need to set up one or a few quiet cubicles, maybe two or three tables."
According to what Mr. Cai said just now, if the other couples from aristocratic families responded well to the dim sum, maybe they will come to the store to consume in the future, so it is best to give this group of customers a special treatment. Such as Yajian and the like.
Even if they don't come, there is nothing to lose in the store. Anyway, prepare it first, it will always be useful.
Brother Le looked at him and asked suspiciously: Why
Yu Qingze explained to him: "You think, if someone like Mr. Cai's husband and wife came to our store to eat dim sum, oh, no, Mr. Cai's husband might not matter. Brother comes to our store for dim sum, do you think it would be awkward for him to sit in the hall and eat with others?"
Chang Le thought about it for a while. People with status and status like them should be more particular, and would not like to sit in a noisy hall with other people they don't know and eat snacks.
He gestured: It should be awkward, no, it will definitely be awkward.
Yu Qingze said, "That's right, so we can get a few small cubicles. We may not be able to provide separate private rooms in our store, but it can still be done with a screen or something, what do you think?"
Chang Le's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "Yes, this way, maybe people of their identities will come to our snack bar too.
"Then let's see the screen?"
Chang Le nodded.
The two ran to look at the screen again. They didn't have much budget and couldn't afford the expensive ones. They looked at the one that looked more elegant, wrote down the size, and went back to the shop to start designing. The orientation is suitable for compartments.
In the end, I looked at it and decided to set it on the side of the wall far away from North Street. It is quieter there, there are windows, and the lighting can be used. It can be separated into three small elegant rooms, and then put a few pots of flowers and plants. It looks a bit like it too.
Early the next morning, Yu Qingze sent a bag of dried white fungus to the Cai Mansion. He had already taught Uncle Fu yesterday how to eat, and he taught Uncle Fu to cook it for the old husband and the others.
After Mr. Cai learned about it, he was very happy, and his impression of Yu Qingze became better and better.
The preparations for the store are also proceeding in an orderly manner. Yu Qingze will buy some items every day, and gradually he is almost complete.
The stove is ready, just wait for it to dry and dissipate. Kitchen utensils, stoves, briquettes, and firewood have all been purchased. Ten tables and chairs have been sent to four people, and the remaining four large tables can be made in two days. Well, the screen is also bought, and there are three small private rooms.
The staff has also been found. Brother Chang, he was sure he could come to make dim sum, which made Yu Qingze a big sigh of relief. He used the evening time every day to teach him other dim sum recipes. Sometimes he was busy, so he let Brother Le teach him.
For the remaining three waiters, he also found time to let them come home at night, and then taught them to recognize numbers and gave them training.
The small bamboo cards used to mark the price. Grandpa Chang is making them himself. He has already made sixty or seventy pieces. When Yu Qingze goes back in the evening, he will use a small file to engrave the numbers on both sides, using uppercase numbers, and then write it again with ink. , it can be used after drying.
Then he asked Brother Chang's father to weave a kind of small bamboo basket with thin bamboo strips, which is divided into several small spaces in a row, and then tied it to the waist with a belt. At that time, the price of the small bamboo card will be placed. Go to those little baskets for the picker to take the bamboo sign.
In addition, Yu Qingze asked the village chief to make a few of the bigger price tags. If this was to be erected, the village chief had to do it.
On September 18, the plaque for their shop was finished. Yu Qingze checked it and confirmed that there was no problem, so he covered it with a red cloth and hung it up the day before the opening.
On September 20th, the rest of the table was ready. So far, the hardware facilities are in place.
The food stall was resting that day. In the afternoon, Yu Qingze gathered everyone in the shop, arranged the tables and chairs, and then started the business drill.
Brother Le and Brother Chang have already prepared ten kinds of snacks in the morning, two small pots of porridge, three kinds of side dishes, and one pot of Oden.
This is Yu Qingze's menu during the trial opening period. He was afraid that he would make too much at one time, and the person in charge of picking up the food was not familiar with it and easy to make mistakes, so he prepared from less to more, and gradually increased.
They fired up every stove, moved the refreshments to the new stove, and rehearsed everything as it was officially open for business.
Now, the furnishings in the shop are like this.
There is the dining area on the left side of the door and the dining area on the right side.
There is a table on the right hand side of the door, with plates, bowls and plates for guests to pick up.
Then there used to be the short and medium length of the L-shaped stove, with oden, two pots of porridge, and three side dishes on it. Next was the long bar across the stove. There were five stoves in it. Ten kinds of dim sum, such as siu mai, steamed dumplings, three kinds of steamed buns, two kinds of flower rolls, glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice chicken, and pumpkin pie.
There is no stove on the wall bordering the kitchen. Yu Qingze can put the snack cart there when he is ready, and four stoves can also be placed on the two snack carts.
Then after the kitchen door and aisle, is the cashier.
The three newly recruited people, is Uncle Zhen who is in charge of washing the dishes, and Yu Xiaoshu who is in charge of cleaning the table, a young man of nineteen years old, and then there is a brother Qing who is about the same age as Brother Chang, who is the same as Brother Chang. Responsible for picking up meals.
Jiabao is in charge of the cash register, and the others act as guests if they are okay for the time being.
Yu Qingze clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone is in your place, let's try it first, Brother Chang and Brother Qing, don't worry, remember the price of each dim sum first, don't give the wrong bamboo card."
The two nodded, tied the small basket to their waists, and then stood in the area they were responsible for.
Brother Chang is in charge of the short one. The price of the Oden and the three side dishes here are different, so it is a little more complicated. Brother Qing is in charge of the long dim sum. , one dish of simmered wheat, dumplings, glutinous rice dumplings, and one glutinous rice chicken, which is relatively easy to remember.
"Okay, let's start! Brother Le, come in." Yu Qingze shouted.
A group of people began to pretend to be guests, walked outside and began to enter the store.
Brother Le walked in front, he consciously took the plate and started to order.
Next is Brother Chang, let's go to order food.
When Chang Hao saw it, he wanted to follow them, but he suddenly thought of another question, raised his hand and said to Yu Qingze, "Brother Yu, I found a problem."
Yu Qingze asked, "What's the problem?"
Chang Hao replied, "If I'm really a guest and come in for the first time, how do I know how to get the meal?"
When everyone heard it, yes, they all knew about such a model, but other customers didn't know it. Everyone was used to looking for a seat when they entered the store.
Yu Qingze was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot! I need to welcome the guests personally and explain the process. We have to find someone!"
He looked at the few people present, almost everyone had a job, he thought about it, and said, "Xiaoshu, you also learned to read, why don't you go to Brother Chang's place to try? Brother Chang, come over here. Welcome and explain the process to the guests.”
The little tree responded with a sound and went over happily. He was quite interested in picking up meals, much better than clearing the table or something.
The two changed.
Yu Qingze told Brother Chang a few lines and precautions for welcoming guests. Brother Chang tried to say it a few times and wrote it down.
The rehearsal resumes.
Brother Le entered the store again.
As soon as he entered the store, Brother Chang greeted him with a smile: "Welcome. How many guests are there?"
Brother Le held back his smile and raised his index finger.
Everyone else was snickering when they saw it. They were all old acquaintances, and they thought it was funny.
"One. Please come here. Our store is a self-service mode. You can pick up a plate here and choose what to eat. The second will put the food and the bamboo sign with the price of the meal on your plate. For meals, you go to the counter over there to check out, and then go there and choose a seat to sit down. There are chopsticks on the table, and the hot sauce is free and you can take it yourself.”
Brother Le smiled and nodded, then began to order.
Brother Le ordered a portion of each meal at different prices, and kept Xiaoshu in a hurry. He is not familiar with these prices, especially Oden, there are several prices in it, and there is not a big price tag for him to see like other food, so the speed is a bit slow.
Brother Chang, who was picking up the meal behind Brother Le, waited for a while. He couldn't wait any longer, so he went around to the front.
Seeing this, Yu Qingze stood beside Xiaoshu and reminded him twice, and Xiaoshu slowly remembered it.
The guests came in one by one, and Yu Qingze observed them. If there were any problems, he pointed them out in time and corrected them.
The difficulty for the person in charge of picking up the meal is that they haven't memorized the price of the dish. This is not a big problem. Practice makes perfect, and it can definitely be done in a day or two. Another problem is that when there are many customers, it will be a bit hectic. This problem can be solved by adding more staff, but this also depends on the turnover of the store. After evaluating the cost, it is necessary to recruit more people.
On the other side, on the checkout side, Yu Qingze thought that Jiabao was still calculating with his head, but who would have thought that he would actually come up with an abacus, and the calculation was quite fast.
Yu Qingze:…
"Jiabao, when did you learn to plan?" This is really surprising!
Jiabao scratched his head embarrassedly after calculating Brother Le's bamboo cards, and said, "Didn't you tell me to pay special bills in the future when you rented the shop? I'm afraid that this calculation will make mistakes, so I just tell the boss Liu opposite. Learn to plan."
Yu Qingze asked in shock, "Have you learned it in just a few days?"
He has been busy with the shop these days. He has no time to manage the food stalls, and rarely goes to Liu Ji. Xiaojiabao has even contacted Boss Liu, and has he learned to plan dishes
Jiabao nodded and said shyly, "These numbers are all small, and they are quite simple."
Yu Qingze unbelievably took the bamboo tiles from Brother Le just now, and after counting them, the result was the same as what Jiabao had counted.
He continued to look at Jiabao next to him and counted a few, and it was all right. He patted him on the shoulder in surprise and said, "Jiabao, good boy, you're learning so fast!" material ah!
Jiabao lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
After an afternoon of drills, Brother Chang said everything was done, and he almost didn't have to think about that set of procedures, and he came when he opened his mouth.
Twice, Chang Hao slipped past the counter with a plate in his hand, wanting to eat Bawang's meal without paying the bill, once was caught by Jiabao, once by Brother Chang.
And Brother Qing and Xiaoshu finally got familiar with all the dim sum prices, so they were no longer in such a hurry. On Jiabao's side, the little boy settled the accounts earnestly and never made a mistake.
The most important part is almost over.
In the end, the people who were so hungry they ate all the snacks and food, and there was nothing left.
When he went back that night, Grandpa Chang found another helper to clean up the table.
On the morning of September 21, they hung up the sign first, and it was covered with a red cloth, which would have to be unveiled on the opening day.
Then, everyone practiced for another day. After the end, they packed up everything, wiped the table and chairs again, and confirmed that there was no problem. Yu Qingze said loudly—
"Okay! We will open on time tomorrow!"
