On the first floor of Jinghe Hotel, more than a dozen tables were already filled with guests.
Dishes are being brought out from the kitchen one after another. Li Tiancui at the counter responds to the orders and directs the waiters to serve the dishes.
Even though the dishes are served so quickly, there are still many customers urging us.
Such popularity surprised Yi Xiaohai.
In the catering industry, the early stage is the most difficult.
Because word-of-mouth needs to be fermented slowly, and popularity needs to be accumulated slowly, all of which take time.
Jinghe Hotel has just opened less than 4 months ago, although business is not bad due to Yi Xiaohai¡¯s relationship with the Beijiang Project Department of Yuntian Real Estate.
But the reason why the business is so booming is definitely not just because of his relationship.
Yi Xiaohai found that almost every table in the lobby had a large pot or a sea bowl. It seemed that these two dishes were very popular.
The two dishes Yi Xiaohai saw are the reasons why Jinghe Restaurant is so popular.
After the hotel opened, the business was not bad, which gave Cheng Jinghe confidence to a certain extent.
He introduced some new dishes, but the results were mediocre.
Cheng Jinghe was not discouraged.
He visited some of the most popular stores in Beijiang, and he really discovered some of Beijiang people¡¯s food preferences.
??Chinese food culture is rich and there are many kinds of cuisines. Beijiang people only have a special liking for folk dishes.
What is folk cuisine?
To put it simply, it¡¯s home-cooked food.
What is homely?
What ordinary people eat is home-cooked food.
The word simple homely cooking has penetrated into the bones of Beijiang people.
Those shops that are doing very well, the most popular ones are braised chicken, steamed salted pork, roast beef and other ordinary home-cooked dishes.
Cheng Jinghe also wanted to make a special dish of Jinghe Restaurant, so he thought of his father-in-law, an old chef who made running water banquets for people.
After learning several special dishes from his father-in-law, he tried to introduce three dishes: farmhouse chowder, glutinous rice balls and iron pot stewed fish.
Cheng Jinghe didn¡¯t think too much, he just felt that customers liked it and approved it.
Who would have known that within a month of launching the new dishes, the restaurant would become a hit.
The fire was very sudden.
Cheng Jinghe and Li Tiancui were both unexpected.
Li Tiancui looked at the three busy waiters and thought about hiring another one.
¡°The day before yesterday, because he was too busy, someone skipped a big order, and Li Tiancui felt very distressed.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at the door of the hotel, and happened to see Yi Xiaohai walking in.
When Yi Xiaohai approached, Li Tiancui patted him gently; "What kind of wind brought my nephew here today"
"Of course it's the warm spring breeze"
Li Tiancui smiled from ear to ear: "You are the only one who can speak!"
"If I don't make you happy, if you don't prepare delicious food for me, then I will suffer a big loss."
Yi Xiaohai and Li Tiancui have a better relationship, so they speak more casually.
"Auntie is not the kind of stingy person. She will definitely have something delicious for you."
"Let me have a drink first, my mouth is very dry"
He drank a lot in the afternoon, and now his mouth is dry and he is in urgent need of a cold drink.
Li Tiancui took a bottle of drink from the counter and handed it to him: "Don't drink anything too cold, just drink it at room temperature"
Yi Xiaohai opened the drink and took a sip: "I see that the iron pot and the sea bowl are very popular. Are they new dishes in the restaurant?"
"Iron pot stewed fish and chowder, your uncle learned it from my dad. I didn't expect it to be so popular after it was launched. Now when it's meal time, there are so many people busy. I was just thinking about whether to invite one more person. return¡¡"
The restaurant¡¯s business is so good that even the waiters are busy. Yi Xiaohai will definitely have to wait for a while if he wants to have a meal.
He rolled up his sleeves: "I'm here to help serve the food"
Li Tiancui waved his hand: "You'd better rest for a while, don't get your clothes all oily"
"My clothes are all black, and you can't even tell if they are dirty"
¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense, even if you don¡¯t see it, you still have to wash it off¡±
"I just have to be careful"
Yi Xiaohai couldn't wait any longer: "Hurry up and leave the work to me as soon as possible, and let my uncle prepare delicious food for me as soon as possible"
Just as the chef serving the dishes from the kitchen brought out several large iron pots, Li Tiancui asked the three waiters to serve the dishes one by one, and there was still one left.
Yi Xiaohai took it: "Which table should I send this to?"
Li Tiancui was no longer polite to Yi Xiaohai: "The iron pot with mixed fish isprivate room No. 8 on the third floor, which is the innermost room upstairs"
Yi Xiaohai picked up the big iron pot and went upstairs.
When he came here last time, the hotel only had four private rooms on the second floor, and the third floor was where his uncle and the others lived.
Now that business is good, the third floor has been transformed into 4 private rooms.
Carrying the big iron pot, I climbed to the third floor, found the private room, knocked on the door first, and then opened the door and went in.
There were six or seven young people sitting in the private room. There were a lot of dishes on the table, but no one moved their chopsticks.
Yi Xiaohai set up the iron shelf, then lit the stove and put the big iron pot on it.
"The stove is a bit hot, please be careful."
After the reminder, Yi Xiaohai prepared to exit the private room.
"Hey, wait a minute"
The only girl on the table stopped Yi Xiaohai.
"can I help you?"
"Are you from Class 4 of 1995 at Beijiang Senior High School?"
Yi Xiaohai looked at the girls.
Long hair, white skin, big eyes, pretty good.
But there was no impression of this person in his mind.
"But if she can name her class, she must know her."
"Hello, I didn't expect anyone to recognize me"
The girl did not hide her disdain: "I heard that you have been admitted to college. Why don't you go to class and work here instead?"
¡°There¡¯s nothing going on at school recently, come over and help¡±
The girl curled her lips; "Are you earning living expenses?"
"That's right"
Yi Xiaohai said perfunctorily.
He is now helping out at his uncle's restaurant, so he can't be too disrespectful to the guests, so he answered the girl's question.
But this girl was obviously looking for trouble. He was too lazy to talk to her: "You guys eat slowly, I have to be busy with other things. I'm going out first"
After saying that, he exited and closed the door.
"Xiaomei, who is this person? He is so arrogant!"
If Yi Xiaohai heard this, he would definitely slap him with a big mouth.
People who look for trouble themselves and call others arrogant need to be dealt with.
The girl who asked Yi Xiaohai showed disdain: "What qualifications does a person like him have to be arrogant? He is just a part-time worker who thinks that getting into college will be great!"
"What's the point of going to college? It's not just to serve us."
The person who spoke had a sour tone.
"These college students are pretentious, but in fact they don't know that after graduation, they will still be working for others"
