The wealthy man's wife is a sideline [rebirth]

Chapter 59

The store manager of Song Shi Ke was annoyed, and said calmly, "Are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

Xiao Yao was surprised, and said apologetically, "How could it be? After hearing what I said just now, the little boss asked me to come here again and bring something to say sorry to you. Everyone is close, what's the matter?" Say hello to each other first, so as not to cause any conflicts. No, our restaurant has just changed a new dish, and I specially invited the chef in your restaurant to taste it and see if there is any suggestion?"

Her expression was very sincere.

But the manager of the branch is not a fool, so how can he not hear the subtext.

This means that Song Shi Ji secretly learned crafts and changed the menu by using improper means, and now Su Ji has declared war on them in the same way.Moreover, he had to come to the door to tell him, and clearly stated: Even with the same means, Su Ji is more upright than Song Shi Ji.

After all, Song Shi Ji bribed the back chef to steal the teacher, and kept the news secret throughout the whole process; Su Ji just used the same menu, and even came to the door to explain it clearly.

Why do you specially ask the chefs in the store to taste the dishes and give their opinions... That is to tell them: Su Ji's craftsmanship is better than Song Shi Ji's for the same menu.They can't compete with Su Ji with that set of menus, but on the other hand, Su Ji can maximize the deliciousness of that set of menus.

Su Ji's little boss means that they can't learn anything, and stealing is useless!

Xiaoyao and the others didn't stay at Song Shi Ji after delivering the food. There were already many customers eating in Su Ji's shop, and they couldn't be too busy if there were fewer people.So a few people admired the ugly face of the branch manager who ate a fly, and left immediately.

The dozen or so dishes left behind were still steaming and fragrant when they were placed on the cash register of Songshiji.

The branch manager was so angry that he was about to ask the waiter to pour out the dishes, but he suddenly remembered something, picked up the plate of crispy fish with sauce on the side, and went into the back kitchen.

"Try this." The branch manager called to stop the chef. "Tell me, can it be done?"

He also took a pair of chopsticks himself, picked up the fish, and felt the crisp "click" sound when the chopsticks poked into the dough, his eyes were gloomy.

The branch manager hasn't tasted it himself, but according to Su Ji's previous standards, the taste should be much better than Song Shi Ji's.

Obviously they are similar things, why does Su Ji's dishes taste so good?

The branch manager was puzzled.

The chef knew at a glance that this was the previous signature dish in the store, and wondered: "Didn't you not use this menu? Who made this, it smells so delicious? The color of the dough is golden, thin and crisp, and the heat is well controlled. Must be good."

He praised a few words first, and then put down his chopsticks to taste.

Crispy fish with sauce is sweet and sour. If you have to say it, it is actually improved on the basis of squirrel mandarin fish, but the process is more simplified.In order to meet the needs of Songshiji as a chain restaurant, this dish is not as labor-intensive as squirrel mandarin fish, and the raw material is not whole fish, but frozen pangasius to reduce costs.

Frozen pangasius is cheap and has no spines.The quality of the meat is acceptable, and it is the raw material that most restaurants will use.Nowadays, the pickled fish in many restaurants have abandoned the commonly used snakehead and grass carp, and all use pangasius.

The dish in front of me obviously uses a whole piece of fish steak, and the slices are neat and beautiful.After being wrapped in the coat and deep-fried, the golden-yellow diamond-shaped squares are branched out to lock the full juice in the fish.The sauce is translucent amber, and I don't know how it is made. It looks thick and clear, and there is no graininess of the seasoning. It is like jam covering the whole fish.

Once in the mouth, the sweet and sour taste of the sauce bursts out suddenly, making people full of appetite, as if the stomach has been awakened.

"This taste..." The chef smacked his lips and tasted it carefully. "really not bad."

He then picked up a chopstick of fish, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

The batter is not thick, so it only tastes crispy, not boring like a mouth full of flour.The fish inside has been marinated in advance, the juice is full, and the taste is tender. It is very good to eat alone. With the sauce on the surface, the layers of delicious sour and sweet taste are enough to conquer any children who do not eat well.

The chef was admiring the craftsmanship in his heart, when he heard the branch manager ask: "Have you tasted how it is made? Suji across the street is using our menu now, can you make something similar?"

No matter how unwilling the branch manager is, he has to admit that it is also called Crispy Fish with Sauce, and the dish Su Ji sent over is very delicious.It is the kind that is almost perfect, the heat and the seasoning are just right, the sweet and sour is intertwined, and the salty and fresh are equally important. It is a taste that will never be forgotten after eating.

He hopes that the chefs in the store can imitate and make similar tastes.

However, the chef shook his head: "I can't do this."

"Why?" The store manager frowned. "Isn't it just a crispy fish with sauce? It used to be a signature dish in our restaurant. Why can't we make it? There's nothing on it, but the sauce is a bit special. Can't you imitate it?"

"Although the names of the dishes are the same, this method has nothing to do with us." The chef said helplessly. "We use tomato sauce as the main ingredient to stir-fry the sauce. Others boil it by themselves, and filter it, so you can't see any base ingredients. I can taste it. It tastes good, sweet and sour. How do I guess what seasoning? There are all kinds of things on the market now... There are dozens of common soy sauces, as well as sweet, salt and vinegar. You can taste everything that others use? Even if the seasoning only needs A rough idea, but what about the exact amount?”

The chef is also embarrassed to say these words, as if he has no skills, and after being a chef for many years, he still can't even cook a dish.

If it's other's signature dishes, I can learn some of them, but Su Ji is the only exception.

As the chef of Song Shi Ji, which one of the dishes he is cooking now is not from Su Ji who stole it?They didn't use anything special, they just relied on extremely precise control to maximize the effects of heat and seasoning.It is just right, if it is not enough, the taste will be ruined.

This kind of craftsmanship can only be brought out by the master, who can memorize the cooking process of a dish thoroughly, when to add the ingredients, when to stir-fry, how long the fire should be, the order of seasoning and the amount of seasoning... all must be extremely precise. Create that unique taste.

If it was so easy to figure it out by yourself, would those families who have secret recipes handed down from their ancestors still regard the secret recipe as a treasure?

Among other things, if it is really easy to learn, there is no need to bribe the people in the back kitchen of Su Ji to steal the teacher. Can't I do it myself?If he has the ability to analyze the cooking time and seasoning quantity of others through tasting, he won't be a little chef in Song Shi Ji.

The chef doesn't know if other people have this ability, but he certainly can't do it himself.

The branch manager dropped his chopsticks angrily, and thought: You are also a chef...why are you so different from Su Ji's chef?It's fine if the craftsmanship is not as good as others, and now I can't even imitate it!

He is more or less sensible, knowing that he can't bury someone like this in front of the chef.So holding his breath, he left the kitchen and called Song Wenxing.

"Mr. Xiao Song, something happened in the store." The branch manager suppressed his breath and said flatteringly and respectfully. "Is it convenient for Fang to come over?"

Different from the atmosphere of facing the enemy at Song Shi Ji, because Su Ji changed the menu, he did not have to face the offensive of the price war, and he was immediately freed from the disadvantage.Everyone in the store was smiling, not to mention how happy they were.

Most of the regular customers have Sister Zhong’s WeChat, and after seeing the pictures in Moments, they are all moved by the news.Before closing down, these regular customers liked to bring their family and friends over for dinner, and this is even more so now, and they also kindly forwarded Sister Zhong's promotion.

In addition to the customers who were brought by the waiters to the door of Songshiji to hand out orders, it didn't take long for the store to be full.

Soon, some customers discovered the strangeness of Su Ji's new menu, touched their chins and asked, "Why are the names of these dishes so familiar... Isn't it the menu of Song Shi Ji opposite?"

He also ate at Song Shi Ji, after all, it is a chain with many branches.Not to mention the taste is particularly good, generally just for convenience and quickness, you can find branches wherever you go.

Crispy fish with sauce on the menu, deep-fried thousand shredded taro... From the beginning to the end, aren't they all the signature dishes of Songshiji?

The customer immediately showed hesitation, wondering whether he should order or not.

"Don't worry, the taste we make here is definitely different from Songshiji. You are also a regular customer, and you must trust our restaurant's craftsmanship. Although the names of the dishes are the same, the taste will definitely give you a new experience." The waiter said with a smile.Long before reopening, Ms. Zhong explained in detail how to answer gracefully when customers ask such questions. "Song Shiji on the opposite side is now making our signature dishes. In order not to bump into them, we can only change the menu. I'm really sorry."

Sister Zhong is well aware of a truth. If you are in the service industry, you will inevitably encounter unreasonable customers. At this time, it is especially important to speak well or not.So after a long time, I have developed a habit, regardless of whether it is my fault or not, I always have to apologize verbally.

The waiters have been told by her many times, and their attitudes are very good.

Hearing a good-natured "sorry", the customer who asked the question felt embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "I just asked casually, I have eaten Song Shi Ji, and it is indeed far inferior to yours. Hey, listen to you This means, Song Shi Ji grabs your menu first, and is it so unreasonable?"

The waiter smiled and said nothing.

There was a guest at the next table, who just came over from Song Shi Ji, and said: "Not only that, but the taste is getting worse and worse, the amount of dishes has been reduced, less meat and more vegetables... It's not a sincere business look."

……

Su Qiao was helping out in the store. On the first day of resumption of business, there were so many customers that almost no one had time to rest. They were busy until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

When I finally relaxed, trouble came to me again.

Su Qiao stood in front of the cash register drinking water, with his back to the door, and heard the waiter greet the customers who came in. He didn't take it seriously at first, but the next second he heard a surprised voice: "Jiujiu? Why are you here? ?”

Su Qiao: "..."

He turned his head slowly, and saw Song Wenxing's disgusting face.

"Hmm." Su Qiao put down the water glass, said calmly, "Are you here specifically to deliver the compensation?"
