81. Chapter 81 Hot Opening

Three days before the opening, all employees of the hot pot restaurant were already busy.

On the first day, everyone worked together to clean the inside and outside of the hot pot restaurant. Before leaving work, Lin Dongmei also left all the waitresses for field exercises.

The next day, the waiters were mainly responsible for cleaning all the tableware in the store and disinfecting them uniformly with a disinfection cabinet. The chefs are responsible for making the bone soup needed for cooking hot pot. The raw material for soup is usually pork bones and chicken.In order to save costs, most hot pot restaurants will add such as minced pork lungs, cheap pork bones that are completely meatless, and cheaper chopped meat. The chicken skeleton, these ingredients are often not so fresh, and the stew is not enough, but as long as some artificial additives are added to enhance the taste, use the pepper and pepper in the hot pot and various ingredients to taste, the ordinary people simply taste If it doesn't come out, the most is that the hot pot has been added after a long time. Specifically, how does it not taste? Some people think that the spicy taste is weak, and some people think that the food is too skewered. In fact, the real greasy is in the soup.

The hot pot soup base in the Linmo shop is all made of the freshest keel bones and chicken with meat, which is used as a stock soup. After simmering for a few hours, the scum is slowly filtered out with fine gauze. Just to boil the soup, you need a person to guard a few large stoves. The soup boiled in this way, the white and fresh soup with cream color, experts can taste the difference at first taste. In addition, Lin Mo also made people add a certain proportion of fish meat powder, lamb powder and other food ingredients and medicinal materials developed into powder. This formula was bought by a master chef at a high price in his previous life. , Can maximize the freshness of the ingredients themselves, and also has a very good warming effect.

Because he had signed a confidentiality agreement and a dividend agreement with Liu Li, Lin Mo assured him of the formula and gave him full responsibility. Liu Li did not disappoint him. He practiced a few times in private. Now the bone soup made from the ingredients has completely met the requirements of Lin Moxian, thick and white.

In addition to boiling soup, there is also cooking pot bottom material. The formula Lin Mo has also been handed over to Liu Li.

There are three kinds of pot bottoms available in the shop. One of the most common spicy red pots is divided into three types: slightly spicy, medium spicy, and extra spicy. The characteristic is that they are delicious and not on fire; the other is the mountain mushroom pot, which is boiled with real wild mountain mushrooms. The soup is delicious and tonic but not greasy. In order to buy authentic wild mountain mushrooms, Lin Mo almost ran all the dry and grocery stores in County L. Finally, he finally bought what he wanted in a shop in the northeast of the proprietress; the last one was also The most expensive one is Bawang Bieji Soup, the whole soft-shelled turtle is served with authentic black-bone chicken, plus herbs such as red dates, wolfberry yellow, and special formulas provided by Lin Mo. After cooking, it has a very light medicinal fragrance and is served with The special oil dish, there will be a feeling that the more you eat, the more fragrant, the more you want to eat, and the soup itself is a big supplement, suitable for all ages.

Liu Li and the newly recruited chefs were busy for three days before they prepared the pot bottom. The newly recruited chef is a young guy who has just left the school. He is two years older than Liu Li. He is diligent and honest. He doesn't mind hitting Liu Li at all.

In addition to the bottom of the pot, you also need to prepare snacks.

Cheng Hong is best at making all kinds of special snacks. Now the store is newly opened, mainly providing five kinds of snacks-gold and silver buns, gold pancakes, leaf rakes, rice cakes, soup dumplings.

Gold and silver buns are actually steamed buns, part of which is placed directly on the plate and partly fried into golden brown, and then dipped in condensed milk, or sweet and soft waxy, or sweet and crispy, very delicious.

The golden pancakes made by Cheng Hong use sweet potatoes, glutinous rice flour, and corn flour. After being prepared according to a certain ratio, they are made into very thin pancakes. After being fried, they are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, golden in color, sweet and not greasy.

Yeer rake is made of glutinous rice, wrapped with various fillings-fresh meat, sprouts, bean paste, etc. Wrapped with native grapefruit leaves, placed in a steamer, after steaming will bring the natural fragrance of grapefruit leaves The fillings with different characteristics always make people want to stop.

The rice cake is also made of glutinous rice, sprinkled with carefully prepared soy flour, poured into the boiled red syrup, sweet and glutinous with thick rice and bean flavor, very delicious.

The soup dumplings only made a kind of stuffing with mushrooms and chicken. After steaming, the skin is white and transparent. You can almost see the stuffing inside. The rich soup is bitten and fat but not greasy. The classic combination of mushrooms and chicken is just right. The seasoning, the ultimate fresh fragrance and smooth taste are enough for everyone who has eaten to stop.

The snacks that Cheng Honghui can make are far more than these five kinds. Now we are doing these water tests first, and then gradually sell them, and then slowly add new varieties. The Lin family promised him that as long as he could make a special feature of the snacks he was responsible for, the individual monthly income would accumulate to different levels, and the monthly bonus would be given to him according to the level, and the annual income would reach a certain amount. The highest year-end reward is a 5% dividend on the total annual snack income.

Just thinking about the carrot hanging in front of him, Cheng Hong couldn't help but sell his last effort like a mule. However, the temptation turned into temptation, Cheng Hong also commented that all the ingredients for snacks and hot pots are absolutely not allowed to be adulterated, otherwise he will not do anything even if he is given more money.

Just by punishing him, Lin Mo couldn't treat him as an ordinary cook. It's hard to imagine someone still holding his heart when facing such a direct temptation of money.

In view of the fact that the Lin family has nothing to do in the county, I do n’t say that I ’m afraid of the mischief of the little bastards, and I also worry that some customers with bad wine are drunk and play crazy in the store. Most of the stores are women. It ’s not good-looking to let the master in the kitchen come forward. Lin Mo and Lin Jian sum up and let Cheng Hong help them to see if he can find a few stouts from his retired comrades to work in the store, responsible for maintaining daily order and purchasing. Cheng Hong was very happy to help them contact his old comrade-in-arms. The five who were willing to come were all from other provinces and are now on their way.

As for the pier, a total of three were invited, two of whom were skilled veterans. It was easier to cut out the snowy fat cows with thin wings like silkworms. You can carve a strange-shaped carrot into exquisite roses in minutes. The other knife is slightly inferior, but quite good at setting the plate. Normally a few pieces of water-milled tofu, tender is to allow him to put out a small and exquisite hollow pyramid, there is a flower in the middle of a tofu yard, and it is slightly adorned next to it These green leaf cauliflowers are as good as the exquisite western food.

The three have their own strengths and good technology. They were originally going to the big hotel. Now I see that the money given by the Lin family is not inferior to that of the big hotel.

The workers responsible for washing vegetables and cleaning are all aunts around the age of 40. All are laid-off workers in the county or the suburbs. They have no education and no skills. They have very narrow job selection and are at the most stressful age in life. So they cherish opportunities better than young people. Without Lin Jian or Lin Dongmei speaking, they all rushed to work.

Everything is ready. On the day of the opening, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the leaders of Lao Du, Principal Pang, Lin Hai, and some colleagues with good ties in the school before Lin Jian all sent flower baskets. Principals Pang and Lin Jian ’s old colleagues lead classes during the day and can only come over at night. At noon, Lao Du and Lin Hai brought some friends over, some of them were doing business, some were familiar officials, and one or two people were of 'mixed society'. Lin Jian promised Lao Du and Lin Hai to bring friends over to eat for free, but neither of them was the one who lacked the two money. The reason why they brought so many people over was to introduce Lin Jian to the business and the other was to hope that both parties would mix It ’s better to have a familiar face and be able to take the line to be a “friend”.

When Lin Jian went abroad, some people gave special lectures, which added a lot of insights. Although he doesn't speak much at the moment, he can understand clearly when others are chatting. When asked about him, he can give some convincing answers, creating a false sense of wisdom. That's right, it's just an illusion. Lin Jian himself is very clear that he needs to learn too much. This mentality of seeking knowledge leaves a good impression of humility. After a long time, Lin Jian really made many friends, of course, this is a later story.

Because the appointment was made before, at noon Lao Du and Lin Hai and their friends arrived before twelve o'clock. When it was noon, Liu Li and Cheng Hong hung a wooden plaque with a big red flower on the gate The gold characters, specially requested by Jincheng Guoxue masters, were also carved by famous masters. The five large characters of Lin's hot pot tower are powerful and simple, and they are perfectly integrated with the antique decoration of hot pot tower. While Liu Li and Cheng Hong were hanging plaques, Lin Mo lit the firecrackers, and the festive roar announced the official opening of the Lin's Hot Pot House.

The well-trained waitress came out in a row, standing orderly in two rows, wearing a beautiful red cheongsam to outline the tall and exquisite figure, the high-pulled bun revealing a dignified face, slightly bent knees, a blessing, everyone has a time The illusion of backtracking, and then they used the sound of the Oriole to "Welcome" in unison, and successfully called everyone back to the world. Everyone congratulated Lin Jian. Lin Mo became a foil because of his young age. Lin Jian welcomed everyone upstairs with a kind smile.

At present, there are not many hot pot restaurants in L County. Most of them are supplemented with red soup. The clear soup is mostly original bone soup. People in L County like to eat spicy food, and not many people order clear soup. For the first time, many people heard about the wild mushroom pot and Farewell My Concubine. In the light of the idea of ​​early adopters, many people ordered two kinds of pot bottoms. After the waiter came up, everyone found the difference just by the smell of the pot.

At first taste, it was extremely delicious, and some people even stopped people from cooking, waiting for him to drink a few bowls of soup. Soon, people found that the dishes boiled in the clear soup were no worse than the ones boiled in the red soup, except for a few dishes with a fishy smell. The dishes in the shop are Lin Mo and Cheng Hong who traveled all over the county's vegetable market and bought them. The quality is undoubtedly one-for-one. In addition, fertilizers and pesticides in this era are far less used than in later generations. Most of the dishes retain their original fragrance, and then put them in the superb soup pot, and dipped in the special dipping dish provided by Lin ’s. The taste is almost impossible. Describe in words.

Of course, the performance of the red pot is also surprisingly satisfying. I do n’t know how Lin Mo made Liu Li ’s ingredients. The spicy and fragrant words are enough to conquer any customer ’s discerning taste buds.

The so-called people are divided into groups. Old Du is a foodie. No one who has a good relationship with him is not a good taste. These people are all “old ghosts”. When they eat, they like chatting and farting. One by one is like taking a dumb pill, but only knows how to eat bitterly. The hot pot restaurant has chic fathers who have less than enough weight, so they can't help ordering again and again. Individually and carefully calculated the account in their hearts. ⺪, they eat this way, a table of eight people, at least You have to spend four or five hundred dollars, obediently, this consumption is completely in line with the only two high-end hotels in the county.

But look at the delightful decoration of others, do not lose the service of Jincheng five-star hotel, and have a super first-class taste, this price is definitely not expensive! When Mingminger talks about business, he has to come again, and the taste of the king batang (Farewell My Concubine) must come!

At this stage, the drinks in the store are mainly purchased from bottled wine, supplemented by various beverages on the market, Lin Mo considers the next step to focus on the special sparkling wine, supplemented by homemade beverage milk tea, a store wants to go on for a long time. In the final analysis, the most important thing is "features".

However, at this time, everyone was too busy to work, and Lin Mo had no time to think about the next business plan in detail.
