Zhengyangmen: I refuse to be a bootlicker, Su Meng panicked

He pulled a stack of cards from the counter and distributed them to everyone! These were 10% off discount cards for the restaurant's grand opening. Guan Xiaoguan had originally wanted to offer a straight 50% discount, but Han Chunming suggested a 10% discount. A 50% discount would help boost the restaurant's popularity during the grand opening.

But in Han Chunming's plan, these four restaurants will all take a high-end route.

If it opens, there will be a 50% discount.

In fact, it is not conducive to the establishment of the restaurant's brand image. Therefore, Han Chunming decided that a 10% discount was the final bottom line.

As for the final effect, perhaps this counter-intuitive approach will be even better!

Sure enough, although it was a 10% discount card, these visitors valued it even more because they saw the level of decoration.

I kept muttering to myself that I must try it when I have the chance.

Seeing this scene, Guan Xiaoguan's last bit of worry was eliminated.

Afterwards, the two of them welcomed some visitors who came in. This phenomenon gave Guan Xiaoguan an idea.

So I asked Han Chunming to write a big sign welcoming visitors and posted it.

Then, instruct the waiter to open the door and receive customers during the period before opening.

Everyone who comes to visit will receive a 10% discount card for the opening ceremony.

Just like that, after arranging everything, the two returned home.

The next day.

The two of them arrived early.

Today is the day for kitchen testing.

However, seeing more and more people coming in to visit, Han Chunming suddenly had an idea.

Since there are so many visitors, why not have a public cooking test?

It not only achieves the purpose of cooking test, but also achieves the purpose of promoting wine.

Add some rewards and it would be a perfect gimmick for a chef competition.

There weren't any games of this nature back then. Once word got out, it would have been a huge topic of discussion.

Besides, when the news gets out, the chef who left after drinking will be the chef champion of the Chef King Competition.

This gimmick. This fame. This topicality! L is absolutely excellent!

Thinking of this, Han Chunming told Guan Xiaoguan about this idea. Guan Xiaoguan was also amazed when he heard it.

She hugged Han Chunming directly and gave him a sweet kiss. This method was absolutely amazing.

However, if you want to have a public cooking test, you will have to go through a lot of trouble.

It would definitely not work if they continued to work in the restaurant kitchen. The confined space couldn't accommodate many people. Guan Xiaoguan was struggling with how to deal with this contradiction. "Let's just do it in the open space at the door!"

Han Chunming raised his hand and said, "Find someone to build a row of clay stoves here, and we'll have the competition here when the time comes!"

"Clay stove?" Guan Xiaoguan was a little confused.

He went abroad very early and rarely went into the kitchen, so he had no idea what that thing was.

"You'll find out soon!"

Han Chunming saw that the hotel's decoration master happened to come today to do some finishing work, so he told him his idea of building a mud stove.

As expected, the master plasterer did know how to do it. However, he alone was not enough.

Han Chunming immediately got in the car, took him around, and brought back eleven masters.

Each of the twelve masters built one.

Twelve clay stoves, Han Chunming thought, this should be enough.

Tell them to start right away!

As for myself, I went into the house and wrote a large poster and some small notes.

It clearly stated that there would be a cooking competition to be held in front of the restaurant.

The large poster was posted directly outside the door, and the idle waiters were asked to hand out the small notes.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of passers-by.

Chinese people have always liked this kind of competition.

Are there things like martial arts competitions and martial arts conferences that are common in novels and stories? They are often the most popular plots, as can be seen from this aspect!

Soon, a group of spectators gathered around.

They gathered around the masters who were building the stoves, watching and giving their instructions with great interest.

Soon, the chefs who had agreed to come and try the cooking arrived one after another.

Of course they knew about the chef selection and agreed to it.

However, after hearing Han Chunming's statement that he wanted to hold an open competition, many of them began to hesitate.

Han Chunming naturally knew what their concerns were.

He immediately said to everyone, "Let's have a live competition. You can choose your dishes! All major cuisines are welcome!"

"If you have a secret recipe and are worried about it getting out, I can give you another chance after this public cooking test!"

"You've seen the scale of our restaurant. One or two chefs are not enough!"

"Also, as long as you're willing to compete publicly, regardless of the final result, we'll give each master 20 yuan as a reward after we finish drinking!"

"The top three will be hired directly!"

"The first place winner will get a big prize!" Han Chunming said, waving to the waiter behind him.

Suddenly, I saw the waiter pushing a brand new bicycle with a big red flower hanging on it to the side.

Now, the chefs who were testing the kitchen were all staring at it. This...isn't it the latest model of Forever brand bicycle? This is such a grand piece of work! This new bike!

At least two hundred yuan!

But it was equivalent to their previous half-year salary! Besides, even if they lost in the end, they would still get 20 yuan in hard work fee, which was totally worth it.

At that moment, the twelve masters couldn't help but nodded excitedly, expressing their willingness to participate.

The audience outside the door became even more excited when they learned that the reward for the "Chef King" in this competition was a brand new Forever brand bicycle.

They all moved towards the bicycle.

Moreover, the news spread quickly from one person to ten and from ten to a hundred.

In a short while, the square outside the restaurant was filled with a sea of people.

Han Chunming watched all this with a smile.

The reason why he made an extra trip to buy this bicycle was to create this kind of sensational effect.

If the same two hundred yuan were used, the effect would not be as sensational!

Looking again, the stove on the plasterer's side was also nearing completion.

Han Chunming then instructed the waiters to bring out twelve long tables. Then, all sorts of kitchen utensils!

The restaurant had already purchased all of these utensils. Standard, famous knives from renowned manufacturers. Seeing this, the chefs couldn't help but nod inwardly.

But this one move was more thorough than anywhere else they had worked before.

Next comes the ingredients.

The kitchen has basically purchased all these materials according to their previous suggestions.

Whatever they needed, they could just go inside and get it and come out. So there was no need to move anything out.

The only thing that needs to be overcome is being famous.

After all, a clay stove is different from a coal stove. It can only burn bamboo charcoal and firewood! Han Chunming asked people to prepare enough of these two.

Even each chef was assigned a dedicated fireman. However, in fact, most of the chefs who came today brought assistants.

These days, burning clay stoves is a common occurrence for chefs.

So, it turned out that Han Chunming was completely overthinking it.

After lighting the fire and warming the stove, Guan Xiaoguan simply read out the rules in front of the audience of thousands.

After drinking, the chef competition begins.

—Amidst the aroma of fireworks, twelve masters led their assistants and began to get busy.

The audience at the scene was also shoulder to shoulder, looking up with expectant eyes.

Everyone was amazed when they saw the chefs' dazzling knife skills and clean and neat techniques.

Although they usually go to many restaurants for meals.

But who would go to the kitchen for no reason, so where have I seen such a professional scene?

This is to see these masters' performances, each one of them is fascinated!

Han Chunming mingled in front of the crowd, silently observing the techniques of the twelve masters.

To be fair, half of the twelve masters today were recommended by Master Guo himself, and the other half recommended themselves.

Everyone has two brushes!

Although I haven't reached my current master level, I'm not far away.

In particular, Han Chunming is most optimistic about the youngest chef No. 3 in the central government.

She looked about thirty years old, very white and thin! Her technique was quick and skillful, clean and neat, without any dragging!

However, what made Han Chunming feel vaguely uneasy was that this man had a defiant look on his face and there seemed to be a coldness in his eyes.

But after all, there was no in-depth communication, so Han Chunming couldn't make a judgment immediately and decided to continue observing.

soon.

After the chefs finished their preparations, they began to stir-fry the food.

Because the time limit for this competition is only one hour, all six chefs mainly cook stir-fried dishes.

As the fire lit up and the hot pan and cold oil were added, the onlookers couldn't help but become more excited.

Laymen are just watching the fun!

The chef who flips the wok best and uses the spoon in the most different ways will get the most cheers.

However, Han Chunming is no amateur. He possesses master-level cooking skills and is a true expert among experts.

It is naturally obvious that those who are flipping the pot in various ways are actually just showing off.

The purpose is to attract the attention of these viewers and also to fool Han Chunming.

However, these two had no idea what level of existence Han Chunming, who in their eyes had no cooking skills at all, was.

With a sneer in his heart, Han Chunming directly passed over these two brainless chefs who were showing off their skills.

This kind of person, no matter how good their cooking skills are, cannot be kept. Otherwise, they will use various means to deceive you in the future.

Looking at the others, the most outstanding one was Chef No. 3. He prepared a squirrel mandarin fish dish, a typical Jiangsu cuisine.

In fact, Jiangsu cuisine is not very popular in Yanjing, but this squirrel mandarin fish dish is a surprise.

Because of its unique appearance and sweet and sour taste, it can be said to be popular in both the north and the south.

Many gourmets in Yanjing love it! From the processing of the fish to the frying of the fish, it is top-notch.

The only slight shortcoming is that before frying, the flour was applied a little too heavily.

This will cause the crispy skin to be slightly thicker during frying, affecting the taste of the fish.
