Chapter 144 Future Plans

Han Chunming and others had their own things to be busy with. After staying for a while, several people left one after another.

Yang Yukun cleaned the tea set and went downstairs.

"Xiaokun."

"Aunt, Jingping."

"A total of seven tables have been reserved today. In addition to the three tables reserved by Xiao Wu, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Tu, there are four other guests who have reserved tables."

"That's not bad, Auntie, Jingping, thank you for your hard work."

Dining at Zhiweilou Restaurant not only requires reservations in advance, but also stipulates a reservation time.

After 1 p.m., you will not be able to reserve meals for the next day.

no way.

It takes time to prepare ingredients, and it also takes time to cook dishes.

The rule that no reservations can be made after 1 p.m. is also to allow more time to prepare ingredients.

Only by strictly controlling the quality of the ingredients and the cooking time of the dishes can the Zhiweilou brand be established.

Later generations said that the Imperial City was a food desert, but due to its political status, various major cuisines showed their talents here.

It is not an easy task to set up a sign in the dining scene of the imperial capital.

Yang Yukun's expectations for Zhiweilou Restaurant are based on Fengzeyuan, a time-honored restaurant like the Eighth Building, so he cannot be careless.

First day of business.

In addition to the friendly reservations from Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, and Mao Tu, there are also four additional table reservations. This is already a very good start.

With the strength here, I believe it won't take long for Zhiweilou Restaurant to become famous.

When the time comes, Zhiweilou Restaurant will become another gourmet destination in the hearts of the gourmets in the Four-Nine City.

"Master Chen, fellow chefs, you have worked hard today. Tomorrow customers will officially come to dine at our Zhiweilou restaurant. I hope everyone can use 120% of their ability to fight the first battle of our Zhiweilou restaurant."

"Xiao Kun, don't worry, the kitchen will definitely not be compromised."

"Master Chen, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

Chen Yuliang patted his chest and assured Yang Yukun that with him in the kitchen, he would never let anything slip.

He didn't allow this to happen either.

After all, he is also the owner of Zhiweilou Restaurant, and Yang Yukun gave him 25% of the shares in Zhiweilou Restaurant.

The backbone of the kitchen staff were all brought over from Tan's Restaurant in the Royal Capital Hotel, and they were all disciples whom he had taught step by step.

The treatment given to them by Zhiweilou Restaurant is several times that of Imperial Hotel.

Yang Yukun also promised that part of the profits would be used to distribute dividends to the staff.

The greater the reputation of Zhiweilou Restaurant and the better the business, the more money they will get.

With all this, no one will hold us back.

"Master Chen, you know that I am still in school. I may not come to the hotel often in the future. If you have anything, please discuss it with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"OK."

"By the way, chef training cannot be left behind. Zhiweilou Restaurant will definitely not have just one restaurant in the future."

"I will continue to give my master a heads-up later. Then we can set up a chef training department and let my master be the person in charge.

My chef knows all the master chefs of major cuisines, so I asked him to recruit more retired master chefs to train us chefs of major cuisines.

With enough chefs, we can not only serve Tan cuisine, but also other cuisines."

"Master Chen, you have a good idea."

Yang Yukun gave Chen Yuliang a thumbs up, which coincided with his idea.

In his plan, Zhiweilou Restaurant will become a chain catering brand in the future and open directly-operated stores in major cities.

These Zhiweilou restaurants will no longer specialize in Tan's cuisine, but will be divided into nine departments, namely the Eight Major Cuisine Department and the Tan's Cuisine Department.

Now Zhiweilou Restaurant is just one store, and the first step has not yet been taken firmly. It is a bit early to talk about this now.

Let’s take it step by step first, and then talk about expansion after the store’s signboard is erected.

After chatting with Chen Yuliang for a while, Yang Yukun greeted Xu Jingping, and the two left Zhiweilou Restaurant and went home first.

…………

Yesterday, Yang Yukun promised Peng Changhai to give him two jars of Eight Immortals' drunken wine and two jars of Hanhai nectar.

Naturally, he couldn't break his promise. After all, he still wanted to wait until Peng Changhai retired from the Imperial Hotel next year and recruit him to the Zhiweilou Restaurant to train key chefs for them.

noon.

Yang Yukun pulled a cart of Eight Immortals Drunk, Vast Sea Fine Wine, and Jie Yuhua to Zhiweilou Restaurant.

From now on, these three wines will be used in the drinks at Zhiweilou Restaurant.

Of course, in addition to these three wines, other drinks are also available.

After asking his mother-in-law to arrange for someone to register the wine into the warehouse, Yang Yukun took the wine he had brought for Peng Changhai and went to the office on the third floor.

His mother-in-law told him that the old master had been here at nine o'clock in the morning.

In addition to himself, he also brought two senior chefs, who were said to be his brothers who studied cooking at the Tan family with him.

The mother-in-law arranged for the three of them to drink tea in the office on the third floor, and the father-in-law was accompanying them.

When I arrived at the door of the office, I heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from the room.

I don’t know what they were talking about, but they were laughing so happily.

"Uncle, Master Peng."

Yang Yukun smiled and walked into the office carrying some wine.

Cai Quanwu said, "Xiao Kun is here."

Peng Changhai said, "Boy, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for several hours. Yesterday, you promised to give me a few jars of good wine. Shouldn't you keep your word?"

"Master Peng, what you said is that a man who grew up in an alley will never break his promise to you with the wine he promised you. Two jars of Eight Immortals are drunk, and two jars of the vast sea of ​​nectar have prepared an additional jar of solution for you.

Flowers of language.”

Yang Yukun placed five jars of one-pound wine in front of Peng Changhai.

As soon as the things were put down, two hands stretched out and took away a jar of Eight Immortals' Drunk and a jar of Vast Sea Fine Wine.

"Cui Minghe, Wu Xiuquan, you two old guys have gone too far. Give me the wine."

"He who sees it has a share."

"That's right, my fellow apprentices, please don't be so outspoken."

"I shouldn't have brought you two here." Peng Changhai said, "Xiao Kun, let me introduce to you these two shameless old guys. This old guy's name is Cui Minghe, and this old guy's name is Wu Xiuquan. We are brothers in the same school.

I'm in charge of the red case, Lao Cui is in charge of the cold case, and Lao Wu is in charge of the white case."

Peng Changhai introduced his two senior brothers to Yang Yukun.

The three of them are all from the Tan family and are the chefs of the Tan family.

Tanjia Cuisine is the family banquet of Tan Zongjun, an official in the late Qing Dynasty. Because it was the second-ranked dish in the second year of Tongzhi, it is also called the second-ranked dish.

In the 1940s, Tan Zongjun's son Tan Yongqing and his third concubine Zhao Lifeng passed away one after another. The Tan family was managed by Miss Tan Lingrou, and Peng Changhai continued to run the business.

In 1949, Miss Tan's family went on a business trip, and they moved out of Tan's house and started running Tan's cuisine in Guozi Lane.

In 1954, the three brothers joined a public-private partnership, and Tan's cuisine moved from Guozi Lane to Enchengju Restaurant in Xidan.

In 1958, under the personal arrangement of the general manager, Tan's cuisine moved to the west seventh floor of the Imperial Hotel. The three brothers and their two apprentices went to the Imperial Hotel together.

In the blink of an eye, decades passed by.

"Master Cui, Master Wu, hello. Welcome to Zhiweilou Restaurant. You are Master Peng's brothers and Master Chen's elders. Just call me Xiaokun like them."

Peng Changhai's senior brother, Tan Jiacai's master chef in charge of cold meat and white meat.

I wonder if these two old chefs have retired and are you interested in coming to Zhiweilou Restaurant?
