Guests are like clouds

Seeing that Cheng Yin and Li Dongjia were having a lively conversation, Chu Yunmeng and Song Yun gave a brief signal before going to greet the other judges.

During the greeting process, she learned that the middle-aged man who had just arrived was named Li Delu, and he was the owner of Deyuelou.

And according to what Li Delu just said, shopkeeper Wu did not inform him of such a competition. I really don’t know whether Li Delu is shirking responsibility or whether Deyuelou’s management is really loose.

But she doesn't have time to mind other people's business, and she has a lot to worry about in Yunmengju now.

This competition with Deyuelou made her deeply aware of the gap between the rich and the humble.

Although it relies on its own ingenuity and cooking techniques that are beyond this era to win, in terms of seasonings, Yunmengju is really not as good as Deyuelou.

Ordinary people don't have any special seasonings, so they feel very kind to Yunmengju's novel cooking method.

But when they eat the same venison and mutton that are rarely available, and have richer seasonings, they will still be shaken.

As for the wealthy minister, although he favored Yunmengju because he was tired of the taste, who can guarantee how long this novelty will last?

In order for Yunmengju to maintain its advantages in the long term, it must continue to give people a sense of freshness, and to continue to have a sense of freshness, new ingredients and new food processes need to keep up.

Although this competition made Yunmengju further famous and won more wealthy and public customers, Chu Yunmeng saw the potential worries at a glance.

According to Chu Yunmeng's "five-step" plan, the first step is to use existing ingredients to make various patterns, and she has already done it to perfection.

So much so that Ying basically had no chicken to eat.

Are there any other ingredients in Yingdu that can allow her to continue to perform?

The fish meat that diners joked about a while ago is one of the items.

Spring is coming soon, and there are more and more fresh wild vegetables. This is also one of them.

Of course, going hand in hand with this, we must develop some new ingredients that are simple to process and can be processed with modern raw materials, such as bean sprouts, tofu, bacon, etc.

Before she could continue to think deeply, she saw Zhuang Ming walking towards her.

"What are you thinking about? You haven't come back to your senses for so long?"

"I'm thinking about the future development direction of Yunmengju. Although I won today, I do see the gap with big restaurants.

They eat all three animals at will, use all kinds of seasonings at will, even honey..."

Chu Yunmeng's eyes were filled with shock and disappointment.

I thought that after coming to this era, I would get rich quickly and reach the pinnacle of life.

But people are so irritating that even though they have earned hundreds of gold, they still don’t dare to use it casually, and they can’t afford it.

If the owner of a big restaurant squeezes him out, how can he be free?

"So what if they used three animals? So what if they have precious condiments like honey? It's not a waste of natural resources."

Zhuang Ming didn't care about Chu Yunmeng's loss and shock: "Let's go, I want to eat today's salt-baked chicken again! My wild pheasants will really stink if I don't eat them!"

Only then did Chu Yunmeng remember that she had discussed with him to postpone the cooking of pheasants these days for the competition.

Thinking about it, I felt a little ashamed, so I hurriedly said, "How about you eat the remaining two? Why don't I cook them all for you?"

"Well, that's an idea. It's just that it's too much for one person to eat. Keep it for now. When I see it, invite others to eat with you. You decide how to do it."

After returning to Yunmengju, Chu Yunmeng was drowned in the ruthless flow of customers before he could make bean sprouts.

Due to the reputation accumulated in the past period and the reputation gained in the big competition with Deyuelou, Yunmengju's reputation has become even louder.

All the gourmets in Yingdu know that there is a restaurant in Yingdu City. Although it is not large, it is good at making chicken dishes. Not only is the method novel, each chicken dish also has its own characteristics in taste, and the other vegetables are also different.

Tasty.

Unlike other restaurants, everything is the same, the meat and vegetables have the same taste, and the ingredients have the same taste.

The sudden increase in passenger flow also caught Chu Yunmeng off guard.

In the half month after the competition with Deyuelou, the number of customers in the entire lobby of Yunmengju has increased by more than a dozen, and the number of regular diners ordering takeout has almost quadrupled.

These days, she and Wu Gu take turns working from morning to night, but they can only meet the needs of the delivery diners and half of the dine-in diners.

On the seventh day when the passenger flow surged, she was already exhausted. She had no choice but to tell A Tian to write down the daily limit on the small "Today's Menu" board at the entrance of Yunmengju.

As soon as Chu Yunmeng finished giving instructions, Ah Yue came over and seemed to want to say something, but after trembling for a long time, she still couldn't say anything.

"Ayue, do you have something to say to me?"

Ah Yue did not dare to answer at first, and her eyes evaded for a while. When Chu Yunmeng was about to walk away impatiently, she finally said: "Master, if you are too busy, I can help..."

"Help? What help?"

"In addition to washing vegetables and lighting the fire, Ah Yue can also help with cooking..." Seeing that Chu Yunmeng didn't seem to believe it, she quickly spoke up and tried her best to win:

"A Yue has been in the kitchen for so long, observed and accumulated for a long time. In fact, she already has a certain foundation. Master, let me try it..."

Looking at Ah Yue's sincere eyes and thinking about how she had always done her duty since she came to Yunmengju, Chu Yunmeng finally agreed.

In fact, she had discovered Ah Yue's interest in cooking a long time ago, but because of her instinct to keep things secret, she chose to turn a blind eye.

What's more, she only discovered Ah Yue's interest, not his talent.

I used to think that doing more was better than doing less, but now I just go with the flow.

"However, in order to improve efficiency, I may only let you be responsible for some simple dishes. For complex dishes, we will still work on the assembly line. That is, you and Wu Gu will only be responsible for certain links, and I will be responsible for the final dish." Look.

Seeing the smile on Ah Yue's face, she added another sentence.

Ah Yue first suppressed the smile on her face, and then smiled again: "Yes, Ah Yue understands. As long as Ah Yue can participate in cooking, I will be very satisfied."

Seeing Ah Yue's shallow smile, Chu Yunmeng suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart. She felt that she seemed to be ruining the purest sincerity of a girl who was thirsty for knowledge.

And all this was just because she was worried about leaking secrets.

It's not that she doesn't trust Ah Yue, it's that she doesn't trust people's mouth.

Some things, once more people know about them, they no longer become secrets and cannot be unique.

It doesn't matter if Wu Gu knows how to stir-fry vegetables. She doesn't dare to risk letting more people know.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and you must not act on impulse. All risks that may cause leaks must be completely eliminated.

After consoling herself in this way, Chu Yunmeng felt at ease.

Therefore, during this special period, Chu Yunmeng adjusted the operation mode of the entire restaurant and changed it to assembly line operation.

All aspects involving seasoning, stir-frying and new ingredients are controlled by myself. Other basic tasks such as making the soup base, taking care of the heat, and boiling the dishes are all left to Wu Gu and A Yue.

By splitting the preparation of each dish, Chu Yunmeng was finally able to successfully cope with the surge in customer flow.

In order to reduce the burden, she went to Yahang and bought a new male servant, named Ajaan, who would share more basic tasks such as washing vegetables and lighting fires.

She knew that with Ah Yue's sensitivity, if she was asked to do too much work in this area at this time, she would start to think wildly.

And this is not conducive to stabilizing military morale.

She will not allow any factors that are not conducive to the stability of military morale to exist.

Sorry, we can't do three updates today. If we encounter transitional plots that need to be rewritten, we might as well break it into two updates over two days, or wait until after the 8th to make up for it. I apologize to all the students who contributed.
