After arranging for Luo Er to come to the restaurant to work, Li Hehua asked again, "What about the other person? There is still a shortage of kitchen staff to do chores. Who do you plan to recommend?"
Zhang Tieshan touched Li Hehua's hair and asked with a smile, "What do you think of my mother?"
"Ah?" Li Hehua's eyes widened, "Your mother? Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Tieshan chuckled and shook his head, "No kidding, it's my mother. Look, my mother has nothing to do at home every day. Now Qingshan goes to study carpentry during the day and doesn't eat at home. I'll show you later that the restaurant doesn't eat at home, she is alone. It's boring at home, and there is no one to chat with her. If you come here, she will help you, don't say anything. Seeing you are so capable, getting along with you day by day will definitely make you feel better and better. The more it changes, and you are the boss who pays her wages, she doesn't dare to look at you, so don't worry about that."
"Moreover, the most important thing is that if my mother can see Shulin every day here, she will not miss her grandson, and she will not want to take Shulin back to live from time to time. Shulin can stay here all the time. You live, your mother and daughter don't have to be reluctant every time."
Li Hehua listened and listened and thought it was quite reasonable. Zhang Lin's kitchen work is still very quick. If you really dare not show her face, it would be good to ask Zhang Lin's, and it will save her the trouble of recruiting. At the same time, Zhang Lin can see his grandson every day, so he will not take Shulin away, and he will not be so dissatisfied with her taking away her grandson.
Zhang Tieshan's proposal is really good.
The more Li Hehua thought about it, the more feasible it became, he nodded and said, "Okay, go back and discuss it with your mother, if your mother is willing to come, I have to tell you in advance, if your mother doesn't cooperate with me to work hard, Then I can't bear her forever."
Zhang Tieshan was amused by her small tone and scratched her nose, "It's up to you to decide what to do then, I have no opinion."
In the evening, Zhang Tieshan told Zhang Linshi that Li Hehua wanted to invite her to help in the restaurant, and gave her 600 yuan a month. Zhang Lin was quite surprised and awkward at first, but when he thought that he could make so much money every month, he could see his grandson every day, and he didn't have to be bored at home alone, his heart moved, and he immediately ignored the little awkwardness. gladly agreed.
A smile flashed in Zhang Tieshan's eyes.
Soon came the opening day of the restaurant. In the early morning, the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded in front of the restaurant, and it was very lively. There were a lot of people watching the lively in front of the door, including many old customers of Li Hehua. They all knew about the restaurant's opening from Cao Simei, so many people came here on this day.
After the firecrackers were set off lively, Li Hehua led everyone to stand at the door and said to the people in front of the door: "Today, our delicious home is officially opened. Some of you may be old customers of my family and are very familiar with my family's food. Some time ago, I didn’t have a booth because of something at home. Here I want to say sorry to everyone. Now, we are reopening. The first floor is still a variety of delicious snacks, and the price remains the same. You can rest assured to eat, and you will definitely be satisfied."
Many of the old guests who were present clapped their hands, and they were very happy. You must know that Li Hehua hadn't set up a booth for half a month, but they were eager to see what they saw. The greedy worms in their stomachs had already come out, and they were afraid of the boss. I will not do business in the future, but now I have opened a restaurant, but the price remains unchanged but the environment is even better. This is a great good thing.
Li Hehua continued: "Now let me tell you good news, today is the first day of our delicious home opening. To celebrate the opening, today's food is half price! Welcome everyone to come in and taste!"
Half price! Shengsheng lost half of his money, and there were bursts of shouting from the crowd. Those who had wanted to go in for dinner were excited, while those who had never eaten anything made by Li Hehua, saw how excited the people beside them were, instantly. I was aroused by curiosity, and I also wanted to go in and have a taste to see if it was delicious. Anyway, I didn't lose half the price.
As a result, as soon as Li Hehua finished speaking, a large number of guests poured into the restaurant to have dinner. So many tables on the first floor were instantly occupied, and some people still shared tables.
Seeing the situation, Li Hehua hurriedly greeted Xiaoqing and Xiaohong: "Xiaoqing, follow me to the kitchen, you will be busy later, don't panic, just do it slowly. Xiaohong, you are by your side to help you. elder brother."
Xiaoqing Xiaohong nodded earnestly, and then hurried into the kitchen to do her work. The two of them practiced early and late for more than half a month, and they had to accept Li Hehua's strict requirements. If something was wrong, they would have to redo it until the taste met Li Hehua's requirements. Under such strict teaching, I have practiced my skills a long time ago, and the things I have made now are no worse than Li Hehua, so Li Hehua is completely relieved to hand over the task of cooking to the two of them.
After arranging Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, Li Hehua said to Mrs. Xie and Zhang Lin, "Your job today is to help fight, is it alright?"
Sister-in-law Xie said vigorously, "No problem, girl lotus, don't worry, I've been working for so long."
As for Zhang Lin, in fact, he still can't recover from the situation. At this moment, seeing Sister Xie nodding, he also nodded subconsciously, and then went to work in the kitchen with Sister Xie. When she started to wash the vegetables, she was still deeply shocked.
She knew that Li Hehua was going to open a restaurant some time ago. She was only a little surprised when she found out, but she didn't really feel much, and she was a little unconcerned in her heart, thinking that a woman can do something big
It wasn't until today that she saw this restaurant with her own eyes at the scene, saw so many guests come in for dinner, and saw everyone working seriously and seriously, that she suddenly realized that Li Hehua really has the ability to open such a big restaurant and become the owner. !
Is this still the ugly, lazy and rogue Li Hehua she knew
Zhang Lin's heart was greatly impacted. After work, he couldn't help but secretly look at Li Hehua, who came in to check. I saw that she was wearing a sky blue cotton cloth Luo skirt today, with a belt tied around her waist. The limbs are extraordinarily slender, the whole person does not look bloated at all, and the hair is combed in a cloud bun, which looks dignified and beautiful; looking at the face, the size of the palm, the skin is white, and the facial features that have lost fat are exquisite and beautiful.
At this moment, Li Hehua, it is no exaggeration to praise her as a beauty.
Moreover, she calmly directs everyone's work, arranges all kinds of things, and her orderly appearance is inexplicably convincing.
Zhang Linshi couldn't say how to describe Li Hehua at the moment, but she felt that she seemed to be glowing, and she was not good-looking.
This, this... Is this still her disgusting ex-daughter-in-law? How does it feel to be someone else...
Li Hehua didn't know the fluctuations in Zhang Lin's heart. She was just busy at the moment. After finishing the kitchen, she turned to tell Dahe Xiaoyuan and Luo Er, "Today there will be a lot of guests, and there will be a lot of things, but don't worry, Take your time one by one, each time a guest comes, you give him a number plate, the number plate is a pair, and you take the other one to the kitchen, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong know what to do when they see it, and then according to Eat food on the number plate, come in order, remember?"
The three of them had been trained before, and there was no hesitation at all at this moment, and they all said that there was no problem.
Li Hehua made it according to the modern ordering mode. There is no computer ordering system here, and customers are not used to ordering at the front desk, so she specially made a number plate, each number plate is a pair, one of which is for the guests, The other is placed in the kitchen. There is a big sign in the kitchen, which is divided into many areas. Each area represents a type of food. When the number plate is placed on the corresponding food, the people in the kitchen will know what the customer ordered. At the same time, I also know that several guests have ordered the same thing, so that they can be done together and save time.
At this time, Zhang Tieshan was standing behind the counter at the door, looking at the order in the restaurant while writing down what was ordered at each table in the ledger to figure out how much he needed to pay.
When Zhang Tieshan was very young, his father was still there at that time, and the family conditions were not bad. He sent him to the academy to read books for two years. He still knew some simple characters, otherwise he would not have given such a name to Shulin. Name, you must know that many children in the village are called Zhuzi Tie Dan Gou Dan or something, and the name of Shulin is the most learned.
So Zhang Tieshan can still recognize simple characters, but the writing is not very good. Li Hehua made it easier for Zhang Tieshan to keep accounts. He wrote down the name of each snack to teach Zhang Tieshan to recognize it, and then drew a table. The label of a number plate, the top line is the name of each food, what the guests ordered, Zhang Tieshan just tick the corresponding food, no need to write by himself, accounting is fast and accurate.
Zhang Tieshan's brain is very good, and his ability to accept is also strong. Li Hehua quickly mastered the words taught by Li Hehua, and he is very good at arithmetic and abacus. Of course, the consequence of every praise is to be bitten and want to scratch people.
Everything has been arranged. Seeing everyone busy and orderly, Li Hehua is very happy. Her restaurant has been successfully opened, and I believe it will get better and better in the future.
At this time, Da He suddenly hurried into the kitchen and said to her, "Aunt Lotus, there are guests outside, and I want to order food from the box."
Hearing this, Li Hehua hurriedly stopped what he was doing and said to Da He, "I'll go to receive it in person. You can learn from me. Next time you come to a guest, you'll receive the same guest as me."
Dahe nodded quickly.
Li Hehua walked out of the kitchen, and when he walked to the counter, he saw an old acquaintance. It was the old man who introduced her to the restaurant, and there were several people next to the old man.
Li Hehua was pleasantly surprised, "Master, do you want a box?"
The old man feigned anger and said: "Girl, you are back to open for business, but I have been waiting for you for more than half a month, and I can't eat what you make every day I want to eat. Now that you are reopening, can I come? ."
Li Hehua smiled, and hurriedly invited people to the second floor, "Father, it's all my fault, and I won't do it in the future. Come with me to the box on the second floor. I'll treat you well today, which is an apology. "
The old man couldn't take it anymore, he laughed, and followed Li Hehua to the second floor with the people behind him.
Li Hehua took them into the box and sat down, and then he asked, "Master, are you ordering food today?"
The old man nodded, "Today, I originally wanted to invite someone to dinner, and I just saw your restaurant opened, so I thought of coming directly to taste your craftsmanship, girl, I'm really looking forward to your craftsmanship. "
Li Hehua said with a smile: "Father, thanks to your attention, today I have to use eighteen classes of martial arts, but I can't disappoint you."
Everyone present laughed.
Closer to home, Li Hehua took out a specially-made menu before and put it in front of them, "Master, this is the menu of our restaurant, you can take a look, if you don't understand, you can ask me directly, or you can order whatever you want, or Let me recommend it to you."
The old man can recognize words naturally, but he is old and his eyes are not good, so he is lazy to read the words, feeling very dazzled, so he said: "I won't read the menu, you can look at it, there are some good ones. Good food, oh yes, bring us a jug of wine."
Li Hehua nodded, "Okay, old man, wait a moment, the dishes will be ready soon." After speaking, he said to Da He, who was beside him, "Da He, go and bring two plates of dim sum to the old man and the others to taste, and then bring a pot of tea. ."
Dahe nodded and went downstairs to prepare.
Since the upstairs box is a high-end route, the service must be in place, and Li Hehua will not save that much money, so he stipulates that all guests who go upstairs to book a box for dinner will have a pot of tea and two plates of cakes for free. It's also a good way to get a good impression of bloggers.
After arranging the guests, Li Hehua entered the kitchen, put on an apron, and walked to the table specially used for dishes in the kitchen, slowly picking the dishes, while thinking about what to do later.
The old man brought a total of four guests, plus himself a total of five people. If there are five people, you don't need to cook too many dishes. You can make eight dishes. It is best to mix meat and vegetables.
Li Hehua went through it quickly in his mind, and finally decided to make a sauce of imperial dragon and phoenix balls, milkfish ball soup, pipa prawns, mini Buddha jumping over the wall, stewed three treasures with yam, shell spring rolls, assorted vegetables stewed, coral grilled three vegetables, eight The dishes are both meat and vegetarian, delicious and high-grade, and will never disappoint.
According to the recipe, Li Hehua quickly picked the dishes, and asked Sister-in-law Xie to help wash the dishes. She first cut each dish, put them on a plate and matched them one by one, then heated the stove, poured oil, and started cooking.
Li Hehua seemed to have suddenly entered another realm. He didn't say a word, and his expression was focused. It seemed that the whole world only had the vegetables and pots in his hands. The seasoning has already been poured into the pot with a flick of the hand, no more, no less, just right, everything is like a visual feast, and it attracts the attention of people around you unconsciously, making people unable to turn their eyes away.
It was the first time that everyone saw Li Hehua cooking so seriously, which made people's heart skip a beat.
Zhang Lin was not that busy, so when she was helping, her eyes involuntarily stuck on Li Hehua. She blinked, her eyes were full of surprise, and she was surprised that she didn't realize it.
When Li Hehua's first dish was ready, the rich aroma filled the entire kitchen at once, and penetrated into everyone's nose. Everyone present swallowed their saliva and felt very hungry, and their eyes were fixed on the beautiful plate. On the dishes, his eyes are about to light up.
"Serve."
Li Hehua called again and found that there was no movement, so he turned his head to look, only to see everyone staring at the dish in her hand in a daze, suddenly helpless and funny. As for this, it's not that she hasn't cooked food for them, it's just that the dishes are not so formal, but don't be so greedy.
Shaking his head, Li Hehua shouted to Dahe outside from the window: "Dahe, come here and serve!"
Hearing this, Da He hurried into the kitchen to serve the dishes. When he saw a plate of sauce emperor dragon and phoenix balls that seemed to be glowing in front of him, his eyes almost straightened, "Aunt Lotus, this dish looks good and tastes so good. , I want to eat it when I look at it, and the guests are sure to be satisfied!"
Li Hehua patted his head, "It's alright, just serve it up quickly, don't make the guests wait for a long time, go upstairs slowly, don't fall."
Da He said "Hey", "Don't worry, I must be careful." After speaking, he walked away with the dishes as if he was protecting a treasure.
Li Hehua went on to cook the next dish. Since the two pots were fired at the same time, the left and right hands came at the same time, and the two dishes were prepared at a time. The speed was amazing. Within half an hour, all eight dishes were completed. Finally, Li Hehua also made a fruit. The platter was used as a gift, and Dahe brought it up.
