The busy New Year has finally passed. After a few days of smelling, Mo Shaoqing returned to the restaurant on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and the festive atmosphere was still a bit strong. This is one of the reasons why it opened today. Today is the first day of the three-day trial operation, and think it’s quite nervous.

Regarding the specific business hours, after careful discussion this new year, Mo Shaoqing wrote on the small blackboard in the restaurant:

Lunch 10:00am~13:30pm

Afternoon tea: 3:00pm~4:30pm

Dinner: 5:30pm~9:30pm

No takeout work is currently supported.

After writing this, Mo Shaoqing took a look at the time. It was nine o’clock. At seven, Mo Di took the college students hired by Mo Shaoqing to hand out flyers. This is Mo Shaoqing’s own idea, from 7:30 to 8:00 in the morning. Part of the flyers will be distributed temporarily, mainly during the noon and lunch hours. You can distribute more flyers. At this time, the success rate will be higher, and part of it will be distributed during dinner time. Mo Shaoqing is confident that as long as everyone comes here once, they will come often in the future and business will get better and better.

Wang Lifang washed his hands, picked up the braised eggs that had been cooked all morning, put them in a small bowl, and took them to the hall, "Shao Qing, come and have a taste, how does it taste?"

Mo Shaoqing tasted it carefully and it was very delicious: "Okay, Auntie, you can cut them in half. If someone orders them, you can put them on top of the noodles or put hot spring eggs. The side dishes of the noodles should be placed on top separately. Don’t mix them up. Don’t put corn kernels, chopped carrots, chives, sesame seeds, enoki mushrooms, and bean sprouts.

The idea came to Mo Shaoqing from the experience of studying abroad in the third year of high school. R country ramen is topped with chives, seaweed, eggs and pork slices, which looks very appetizing. The taste of the noodle soup is very delicious. I knew it was not made with condiments when I tasted it. It attracted many tourists, so I incorporated this idea into my restaurant.

"I know, I remember it!" Wang Lifang responded and returned to the kitchen.

At this moment, Yue Ling also came, followed by a young man who looked very energetic. Yue Ling stepped forward and said a little embarrassed: "This is my apprentice. He was in a hotel with me before and studied with me. His art is not good, and he was fired when the new owner came. Now I have found a job. You are also short of people for the little boss. Or just keep him and do some miscellaneous work in the back kitchen?"

Mo Shaoqing is short of people, but he also lacks money. One more person and one more salary, and he cannot afford it. The key is that his character is also very important. It is also one of the reasons why he has multiple jobs and has not recruited people for the time being. .

Seeing Mo Shaoqing’s embarrassment, Li Zhiye first stood up: "Hello Boss Mo, my name is Li Zhiye. I am 20 years old this year. I am very strong and can do many things. Even if you don’t let me cook, it’s fine. Just let me do the chores, and the salary I want is not high, just give it as you watch."

Mo Shaoqing said it was funny. He didn't hire people to do physical work. He was originally a restaurant job, but he was really short of people. He knew some kitchen matters and the salary requirement was not high, so he asked again. On the other party’s birthday, he was actually a month younger than himself. It’s a bit pitiful to think of such a child who has come out to work so early.

"Well, the salary is two thousand, and it will be increased to two thousand and five in a few months, but you must work hard, not afraid of hardship."

"Definitely, surely, I will definitely work hard." Li Zhiye heard that he could stay, and was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Although he was Yue Ling's apprentice, he had only learned a little bit and was fired. , There is no skill, low education, and no job at all.

Yue Ling was also very happy: "This kid can endure hardships, little boss, don't worry!" It turns out that Mo Shaoqing is right to leave him, because the restaurant will become very busy in the future, and of course this is all It's a story.

"Okay, it's a trial operation today, Master Yue, take someone to prepare."

Then, after Mo Shaoqing and the workers of the advertising design company hung up the signs, they placed the flower baskets at the door and set off firecrackers.

At half past ten, the restaurant began to see people one after another, but disappointingly, most people chose to leave after viewing the menu.

This made Wang Lifang anxious. At first, she felt that the price of the vegetables set by her nephew was a bit expensive, but the nephew insisted on not changing the price of the vegetables, and she didn’t know where the nephew’s vegetables came from. . Wang Lifang guessed what kind of new vegetable it might be. The price is so high because of the high cost. Therefore, after saying it twice, it was all over.

Of course, Mo Shaoqing didn't know what his aunt was thinking. He simply felt that the space product must be a boutique product, and the price should not be cheap. As for Yue Ling, since he started, he felt that the food in the restaurant would not be cheap. The decoration was high-end and the food was exquisite. Moreover, he had stayed in a four-star hotel, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the little boss' pricing.

At around eleven o’clock, the restaurant ushered in a small peak. Many girls came to the wisteria flower terrace. Some elite men felt it was inappropriate to leave after they came in. Some couples made up for Valentine’s Day to stay. If you live with your girlfriend, your boyfriend can only leave an order, so naturally it is impossible to leave.

After everyone sat down, Mo Shaoqing and Wang Lifang Yue Ling also went to the back kitchen to get busy. Many people order pasta. Mo Shaoqing boiled the water, added salt and homemade olive oil, added the noodles, and waited for the noodles to cook.

In addition, Wang Fengxia washed the vegetables, Yue Ling, Wang Lifang were busy cooking, and Li Zhiye attacked. There is only one Mo Di who just came back at the front desk. Just after the Chinese New Year, the food was relatively greasy, so many people ordered fruit and vegetable salads and freshly squeezed juices. Mo Di was very busy. Fortunately, Mo Shaoqing is a part-time waiter who helps with ordering and serving dishes.

The waiting was tormenting, the aroma came from the back kitchen, and everyone was shocked that the original three-point hungry had already spread to eighth. Homemade tofu, stewed pig's feet with soybeans, claypot rice, fried cashews with celery and lily, steamed loofah with garlic...

The dishes are pleasing to the eye. They are obviously very ordinary dishes, but they are completely different when they are eaten in the mouth. The taste of the ingredients themselves has been raised to a higher level by the chef's delicate cooking techniques. It can be said that the lips and teeth leave fragrance, and the meaning is still unfinished.

Scooping up the pasta, topping it with a well-cooked sauce, garnishing with black pepper mint leaves and small tomatoes, Mo Shaoqing puts out the two pasta first.

This dish was ordered by two ladies on the terrace. When Mo Shaoqing went there, the two ladies were taking pictures everywhere, regardless of their manners. Mo Shaoqing didn’t even see them. They placed the food respectfully. Two elegant The lady of can't wait to start tasting it, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's gobbled up.

Mo Shaoqing said politely: "Bacon and shrimp spaghetti, tomato sauce spaghetti, your dishes are ready, please use it slowly." Then he took away the fruit salad plate, was about to leave, but was caught by one of them. The lady stopped--

"Well, little handsome guy, the food in your shop is so delicious. The bacon and asparagus rolls and the New Orleans grilled wings just now are so delicious. I'm almost eating my tongue. There is also a fruit salad, so fresh! Brother, where did you get this fruit?"

"These are all grown by the country's grandparents and eat them by themselves. They are safe and they are not sprayed with pesticides." Mo Shaoqing took the words with a smile, and naturally revealed the identity of the little boss.

"I have never eaten such delicious strawberries. They are not as delicious as strawberries. There are also small tomatoes on pasta, sour and sweet, with a lot of juice. I must come often in the future!" The lady couldn't help but exclaimed.

Mo Shaoqing knew this would be the result a long time ago, but he still blossomed with joy in his heart. These fruits are produced in space, and the taste is naturally not bad.

Another lady was more witty and said directly: "Does the little boss sell strawberries?"

"Yes, will it be sold? I want to buy a few kilograms, please, little boss."

"Um... this... okay, but the quantity will not be too much, because the output is not too high and the store has to be consumed." Mo Shaoqing did not want to agree, after all, this is One of the restaurant’s selling points, but after listening to this lady’s request, there was a flash of inspiration. Thinking of the previous flower sales, I suddenly felt that the small shop might be able to expand a business. Thinking of this, Mo Shaoqing couldn’t help but be overjoyed and quickly agreed. However, we can't make strawberries look too cheap, so we emphasized the scarcity of strawberries.

"Then I want a catty, the little boss calculates the price!"

"I want three catties, uh...maybe too much, two catties!"

Mo Shaoqing cleaned up briefly, then went downstairs, took three catties of strawberries from the space and packed them into the boxes, still thinking about how much the price is right. 60 yuan, um-is it almost? Will it be too expensive? Okay, let's set 50!

If this sideline is done well, it can be considered a good income for the restaurant. After all, it has only opened now and there is still a shortage of funds. But now Mo Shaoqing still can't think of how much it will cost to fry strawberries in the future.

Although this day was a bit busy, Mo Shaoqing knew this was just the beginning. Seeing the customers eating with relish and listening to the praise from time to time, Mo Shaoqing is very satisfied. A good start is half the battle. Come on Mo Shaoqing!
