Chapter 10: Rules
"Boss, let's talk about it, how to book a meal with you?" A group of people surrounded Shen Long in the middle, they were all foodies, and when they encountered something delicious, they naturally had to eat a good meal, and the three hundred and twenty dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty feasted on it, and they didn't even taste one-tenth of it today, how could they be satisfied.
"I will not only make a full banquet of Manchu and Han, but also proficient in Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, etc., next time I will try the classic dishes of other cuisines for you." Shen Long said with a smile, it seems that everyone is very satisfied with their craftsmanship, and they have not worked hard for so long in vain.
"But everyone has also seen that my store is such a big place, and I have to come alone for big and small dishes, so the reception capacity is limited, I can only receive two tables a day, and a maximum of 20 people, no table at noon, and I will eat on time at 7 o'clock in the evening." Shen Long said the rules he had thought of in the past few days.
"Understand, don't look at our meal for more than two hours, there are many dishes that need to be worked on in advance, such as the shark fin, you have to stew it for a long time in advance, plus buying vegetables or something, it is already very powerful to be able to cook two tables a day." The diners expressed their regret but also understanding.
A top-notch chef of this calibre must also go and pick the same groceries by himself, and be sure to find the best ingredients, which alone will take a long time.
"Isn't it the same with Li's cuisine? Boss Shen, how much do you have here? Some people also muttered in their hearts, this restaurant tastes better than Lijia's food, and if the price is too high, it will be a little unbearable.
"It's not cheap, but it's not very expensive, 1,000 yuan per person." Shen Long said lightly, in the past, a thousand yuan was almost enough for him to eat for a month's lunch, but when he arrived here, it was just a meal for one person.
"It's fair, just this craftsmanship, this level of dishes, it's really worth the price." Those who came today are all relatively wealthy, and a thousand yuan a person can afford to eat one or two meals once in a while.
Looking at the plates on the table, ingredients such as shark fin and deer breast are not cheap, and the price of these dishes will not be too low when you go to other restaurants to eat them, as for the taste, there is no way to compare with Shen Long.
But it is still a little expensive compared to ordinary people, and a few people who shouted and wanted to eat just now retreated, sat on the chairs and stopped talking, but more people still chased Shen Long and asked how to book.
"It's open five days a week, and I have two days off to rest." When he went to work, Shen Long didn't enjoy the treatment of weekends and weekends, and now it's his turn to take care of himself, and he must make up for this regret, anyway, the money he earned in five days is enough to spend.
Receiving twenty people a day, 1,000 yuan per person, it is calculated to be an income of 20,000 yuan, the catering industry is half of the profit, and the profit margin of high-end catering is higher, even if the expenses of rent, water and electricity, labor, taxes, ingredients, etc., Shen Long's daily profit can reach more than 10,000 yuan.
"Considering that you have more free time on the weekend, so I don't rest on the weekend, Monday and Tuesday off, you don't have to come to the door these two days, the remaining five days can accept reservations, I will leave you a mobile phone number, every day at six o'clock in the afternoon on time, accept the next day's reservation, whoever calls in first is who, if you call to turn off, that is the next day has been booked out, you will call next time!" The rest of the time, the phone is always turned off, otherwise I don't want to be safe.
"Every day, you only book the next day's table, and then you can't do it." Maybe the mission came suddenly that day, and I still had the heart to cook at that time.
"There is only one scheduled channel, and if the phone can't get through, it's useless for you to come to the door; The same goes for temporary breaks, you have Golden Week, do I want to go out and relax? When there is a new task, Shen Long may close down at any time to prepare, and this must be said in advance, "Anyway, as long as the phone can't get through, you don't have to run in vain." ”
"So what about tomorrow? It's already past six o'clock. "There are still people who haven't eaten enough and want to continue eating tomorrow.
"You can come to the show in a few days, it is to give me face, naturally there should be preferential treatment, so it's okay, you still want to eat here these days and come to draw lots, let's arrange in the order of the lottery, whoever draws the No. 1 and No. 2 lots, will continue to come over tomorrow." Shen Long had already prepared.
"But you have to say it in advance, we can receive up to ten people, we can't receive more people, and if there are fewer people, we will still count it as ten people; There is no menu, you just need to say if you have anything taboo, and I will arrange the rest. "In this regard, the big guys have no objections, and this is not the first such hotel in the capital.
Soon someone stepped forward to start the lottery, and the first and second lots were overjoyed, and there were too many disappointed people left to sign the lots, and they could eat it a day or two later.
Before leaving, the big guys discussed not to tell this store and the reservation phone number for the time being, lest there were too many diners and they would not be able to eat in the future, but they all forgot the things they had just sent in the circle of friends, and many people even said the name of the store and the address.
When it was time to eat the next day, many people came to this alley to look for a private restaurant called Jinyu Mantang, but when they arrived at the door, they saw that the door was closed and a sign was full on it.
The sign also left the scheduled phone number and appointment rules, and they had to write down the phone number and call it again tomorrow afternoon.
For these people, Shen Long doesn't care much, there are always two tables of twenty people every day, there are always people who want to eat again, these people will attract new guests when they eat again, and the new guests will definitely want to continue to eat after tasting and feeling satisfied, so one pass two two pass three, and slowly Shen Long's private dish full of gold and jade has made a lot of reputation in the food circle of the capital.
There are even many celebrities in the chef circle who have become interested in this restaurant after seeing the pictures posted by those diners on the Internet, although they don't know what the taste is when they look at the pictures, but the skills of knife work and plating are undoubtedly revealed, at least in this skill, there are not many people in Beijing who can compare with Shen Long.
After some celebrity chefs have tasted it, the reputation of Jin Yu Mantang is even greater in the circle, and many famous chefs who have been famous for a long time say that Shen Long's cooking skills are far above him.
This caused Shen Long's mobile phone to be turned off after five minutes at most every day, there was no way that there were too many guests and too enthusiastic, as soon as the phone was turned on, someone called in, if it wasn't for the time it took to discuss the dishes, this time would be even shorter.
On this day, another wave of guests was sent away, and Shen Long was about to return to the newly rented house nearby to rest, but he didn't want the voice of wishing to sound in his head again.
