Chapter 217 The Kitchen Needs Renovation
After arranging all the people and things, Zheng Sisi sighed that it is easier to get things done with more people. If there is something to be done, just ask people to do it. Once everyone around her has been trained, she can just be a hands-off boss. It’s a wonderful thought!
Zheng Sisi found several chefs and asked them what their specialties were. Several chefs talked about their specialties.
Zheng Sisi wanted to know what other ingredients were available in the kitchen, so several people took her to familiarize herself with the kitchen layout and check the remaining ingredients.
Zheng Sisi looked at it and shook her head, saying, "We in the catering industry pay the most attention to food safety. The ingredients in the kitchen are piled on the ground without being sorted. Some of them have rotted but have not been cleaned up. Do you pile all the ingredients you bought here and take them from outside when you need them? After a few days, the first ones you bought were not used up and rotted away here."
Several chefs grumbled, “Business was bad, so we didn’t clean it up.”
Zheng Sisi said: "Even if there is no business, we should clean up even more. Only by ensuring the freshness of the ingredients can customers be satisfied with the food, and only when they are satisfied will they come again. There are reasons why business was not good in the past, and you are also responsible for a lot.
I ask you to remember that after all the ingredients are brought back, they should be put in first-in-first-out order, and the ones that came in later should be sorted out. That is, the ones bought first should be used first, and the unused ones should be taken out, and the ones purchased later should be put in, so that all the ingredients can be guaranteed to be fresh.
All the ingredients cannot be piled on the ground, they can be placed on the table or countertop. If there is no space, I will arrange to make a row of wooden shelves, and put the ingredients on the wooden shelves and organize them by category. "
Zheng Sisi checked the hygiene of the stoves, pots, seasonings, etc. used by each person, and none of them met Zheng Sisi's standards.
"The edges of this pot are covered in ash, the spatula and spoon are covered in oil, and the seasonings were mixed into other jars when they were used. How can we control the taste of the dishes like this? And the jars for seasonings are so dirty, don't you do housekeeping every day?"
Being questioned by Zheng Sisi, several chefs blushed. They felt that their boss was right and they were also largely responsible for the poor business of the restaurant in the past.
Zheng Sisi said: "From the current situation, the kitchen needs to be renovated. You guys can clean it now. I will use the stove and pots later. I hope you can satisfy me.
Also, I will teach each of you a few dishes, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Zheng Sisi said and walked out of the kitchen. She didn't care about how to clean the kitchen, she just wanted the results. If she still needed to do these little things, there was no need to hire these people.
The chefs looked at each other, feeling ashamed, and started cleaning with their tools.
Zheng Sisi found Manager Gao, who was moving wine jars and cleaning the counter with a few waiters.
Seeing the county lady looking for him, he handed the work at hand to the waiter.
Zheng Sisi said, "Manager Gao, I just went to the kitchen to talk to the chefs. Each of them has his or her own special dishes, but my restaurant will not use them in the future. I will replace them with dishes that I developed myself. I'm here to discuss the pricing with you."
Manager Gao quickly changed his mind and said, "County Lady, you can set your own price. I will just mark it out."
Zheng Sisi pointed at the counter and said, "Manager Gao, let's discuss this. The dishes I prepared are a little special, and none of you have ever eaten them before."
Zheng Sisi picked up the brush on the counter, dipped it in ink and wrote on the paper: braised pork with garlic seeds, braised pork offal, braised eel, red lobster, sweet and sour spare ribs, stewed radish with baby bones, braised combination, braised eggs, stir-fried wild vegetables, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and more than a dozen other dishes.
Shopkeeper Gao looked at the many dishes Zheng Sisi had written down, and he didn't understand any of them. He blinked and asked in confusion, "County Lady, are these the names of the dishes you wrote down?"
