Starting from winning the food competition

Chapter 101 The first person to taste the two-star meal

At 10:55, Beiyang Hotel was about to open for business.

There are still 5 minutes left.

The two were doing the final preparations before the opening.

At this time, two people appeared at the door of the hotel.

Then they knocked on the glass door, and when they heard the sound, the two subconsciously looked towards the door.

Seeing someone knocking on the door, Lin Beiyang hurried forward, took off the door lock before walking out.

He knew they were regular customers because one of them looked familiar.

"You two, are you coming to eat so early?" Lin Beiyang asked subconsciously.

I also want to make sure that the two of you are regular customers of the restaurant.

Just ask and you'll know.

"Yes, boss, I chatted with you on WeChat last night. I said that I would bring a friend over for dinner today. I know that the two-star set meal will be very popular today, so I didn't come here earlier."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Beiyang can be sure that this person is a regular customer.

I still have some impressions of him.

He nodded and replied: "Okay, there are still 11 minutes before the official opening at 4 o'clock. Please wait at the door for a while, and the door will open when the time comes."

"Boss, it's only a few minutes. Can't you go in and order food first? We can eat earlier if we finish earlier."

In this regard, Lin Beiyang did not hesitate at all, and directly chose to reject him.

"I'm sorry, the restaurant stipulates that it will never open before the opening hours, so please wait for a while at the door. You also know that my restaurant is quite special, and we don't accept early entry for dining."

There is nothing to consider and think about at this point.

Lin Beiyang had thought of such a problem from the very beginning.

In the morning, it is said that the door opens at 11 o'clock, but it may appear earlier than 11 o'clock, how should I solve it.

Finally decided not to let in.

Since 11 o'clock is stipulated, if you can enter the store earlier, it is better to open the door directly, no need to specify a time, and you can receive customers anytime, anywhere.

Obviously not.

Later, when the restaurant's reputation spreads, more and more people will know about it. If the time is not fixed, maybe some guests will come to the hotel at 8 o'clock, or even 7 o'clock.

Then selling lunch and dinner becomes selling breakfast.

This is why business hours are mandatory.

It means that whether you come at 10 o'clock or 9 o'clock, you have to wait until 11 o'clock to open for business, otherwise it will not work.

This is why Lin Beiyang locked the door inside.

Hearing this, he nodded.

"Okay, then let's wait a minute, there are still 2 minutes left anyway."

He knows that there are many rules in the restaurant, and this one has been informed in advance. It is not good to ask to go in now, anyway, it only takes 2 minutes.

Seeing him agree, the friend next to him was very surprised.

"Zhou Sen, you said that this restaurant is quite special, but I didn't expect it to be so special. It doesn't even give customers a chance to sit in the restaurant. It's really a bit maverick."

Zhou Sen laughed loudly: "Damn, you don't know how delicious the boss's food is. It's normal to have these rules. Besides, the set menu is sold for ten minutes every day. If you come late, you won't be able to taste it at all."

"Really?"

"Of course, with our relationship, can we still lie to you? If we say to take you to taste the five-star set meal, the price of 188 yuan is very expensive for the two of us. Now there is a two-star set meal, which only costs 108 yuan. If you don’t taste it, it’s better to wait.”

Zhou Sen looked relieved, and it seemed that he was confident.

Of course he is relieved.

I came to taste the five-star set meal before, so I know what it tastes like.

Maybe worry about other aspects, but definitely not about the taste.

This is also the reason why I am willing to bring friends to taste it.

After all, a set meal costs more than 100, which is very expensive for ordinary people like them. If the taste is not good, it is impossible to recommend it.

Soon, an alarm clock sounded.

Lin Beiyang turned off the alarm clock. This is a special alarm clock for opening the door. When the alarm clock rings, it means that the door can be opened for business.

At this time, Lin Beiyang smiled and stepped forward to open the door completely.

He smiled and said, "I'm sorry to make the two of you wait outside. It's already 11 o'clock and it's time to open for business. Please come in quickly."

"Okay, boss."

Then, Zhou Sen and his friends walked into the restaurant.

After entering, without thinking too much, Zhou Sen said, "Boss, we came here today just for the two-star package."

"Okay, two two-star packages, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Last night, Boss, your circle of friends said that it was 108 yuan a piece. That's right."

Zhou Sen asked.

The reason why I want to come here to eat has something to do with the price.

If it weren't for the price of only 108 yuan, there is a high probability that they would not come here.

After all, they are just ordinary working people, and sometimes they are not particularly good economically.

"Yes, 108 yuan a piece. Both of you are two-star packages. The total is 216 yuan."

"Okay, boss."

After getting the price, Zhou Sen paid 216 yuan without saying a word, without blinking his eyes.

The reason is that the price is known in advance, and the inquiry just now is just to make a final confirmation, and there is no problem in determining the price.

As long as there is no problem, it can be paid directly, which is beyond doubt.

After paying, Lin Beiyang turned and walked into the kitchen, and then began to cook the two-star set meal.

This is the first and second two-star set meal sold since the hotel launched the two-star set meal, and Lin Beiyang is particularly concerned about this.

After going through the process in my mind, I officially started cooking.

This time, I made the cold cucumber dish first.

First of all, cold cucumber is a cold dish, which is cold in itself. It is summer now, so there is no need to worry about the temperature.

Secondly, mix it cold first, and then cook Kung Pao Chicken, so that the cucumber can fully absorb the taste, and the taste will be better.

This is a different place on the premise of having cold dishes.

Of course, this only applies to summer.

In winter, cold dishes are not the first choice, just make adjustments at that time.

Besides, there are still a few months before winter. After a few months, it is estimated that the number of dishes that can be made will be very large, so there is no need to worry about the set menu dishes.

The cucumber salad is very fast to make.

It is still cooking two set meals together, which can save the shortest time.

The speed of cooking one by one is too slow, which will seriously affect the dining experience of the guests.

After the cucumber salad is finished, the next dish is Kung Pao Chicken.

At the dining table, Zhou Sen, who was waiting, said with a smile, "How about it? Does this restaurant have many differences?"

The person opposite him nodded slightly.

"Yes, since I came in, I found that there are many differences. It seems that what you said before is still too conservative. There are many rules in the store alone. It is really unexpected. The most unexpected thing is the location of the kitchen. .”

Zhou Sen turned to take a look and knew what he meant.

Smiled and said again: "Actually, this is why I was willing to enter the store to taste it once before. It is here, the fully transparent kitchen. To be honest, it is the first time I have seen it. I can see the whole process of the chef's cooking. Anyway, I have eaten so much. There are many restaurants, and I haven’t seen it in other places.”

"Yeah, I haven't seen it before, and this is also the first time we met, so it's a surprise."

Not only them, but many people are curious about restaurant kitchens.

Some people are willing to enter the store to taste, because they fancy the fully transparent kitchen.

You can see every move, and you will feel more at ease when eating.

"Now I look forward to the taste of the dishes more and more."

After finishing speaking, Lin Beiyang's cooking is complete.

After putting the two set meals into the dinner plate in equal amounts, and with a vegetable soup and suitable rice, he said to the outside: "Please trouble customers No. 1 and No. 2 to pick up the meal."

Hearing this, Zhou Sen said, "Let's go get the food."

Through more understanding, I knew that I needed to pick up the food in the restaurant, so I followed Zhou Sen to pick up the food without thinking too much.

Zhou Sen nodded slightly when he saw the two-star package.

Then he said: "Boss, I finally know why you sort the set meals according to star rating, because the dishes of different stars are indeed different. This is only a two-star set meal, and the price is also 108 yuan, which is different from the five-star set meal at first glance. There is a relatively obvious gap, but it is also better than the dishes in other restaurants."

To this, Lin Beiyang responded with a smile.

"Yes, the reason why the two-star package is launched is very simple, because the price of the five-star package is relatively expensive for many people, and it is difficult to accept it for a while, but the two-star package is different, the price will be slightly lower, but the taste will definitely be slightly better. Lesser."

"Boss, I can understand that if you can buy a five-star set meal with 108 yuan, then no one will choose the five-star set meal. I'd better try this two-star set meal."

"Row."

The two returned to their original positions with their respective dinner plates.

At this time, Zhou Sen's friend exclaimed: "At first I thought what you said was too exaggerated, but I realized it was true when I saw the set meal today. beauty."

When I saw the picture at first glance, I subconsciously thought that such a beautiful face does not seem to be necessary for a meal.

So thought it was fake.

I didn't expect it to be true.

"Hahaha, didn't I say it? It's just that you don't believe it. Believe it now, and it's a two-star package. You'll know when you get paid next month and taste the five-star package."

"Okay, then come and taste the five-star set meal after paying the salary."

Zhou Sen continued: "Okay, now you should taste the taste first."

The two had a taste.

Zhou Sen had eaten the five-star set meal, but now he tasted the two-star set meal, he couldn't help but nodded.

Just like what Lin Beiyang said, the taste will be slightly worse, but it must be better than other ordinary dishes. This sentence is correct.

Overall, the price of 108 yuan is worth it.

The price is here, it is impossible to achieve the same as the five-star package.

As for the other person, he was so shocked that he didn't know why.

Looking at the package in front of him in disbelief.

There was only one thought in my mind: How could there be such delicious dishes in the world.

Seeing him freeze in place after taking a sip, Zhou Sen whispered, "What? Surprised by the taste of the dish?"

"Well, I really didn't expect such a delicious dish. The price of 108 yuan is very good. I think I have never tasted such a delicious dish. I will continue to taste it."

"it is good."

The two continued to eat.

In 5 minutes, two more people entered the restaurant.

Not surprisingly, he is still a regular customer, and he came for the two-star package.

Lin Beiyang was no longer surprised.

After Lin Nanyun went to the reception, he started cooking again, which was the third and fourth dishes today.

…………

"I'm going, I'm so satisfied."

"Hiccup~~"

After Zhou Sen finished eating, he couldn't help hiccupping, and leaned on the chair and said.

It can be seen that I really like this set.

The person on the other side nodded.

He rubbed his stomach and said, "Yes, it's really delicious."

"Well, don't regret coming here today, I remember you were a little worried since you left the house." Zhou Sen said with a smile.

Because I have never tasted the dishes of Beiyang Restaurant, plus the price is 108 yuan.

It's normal for him to be worried.

It wasn't until this moment just now, after I tasted it, that I was completely relieved, and by the way, I didn't know how good the taste was.

"I don't regret it, the main reason is that I didn't have the opportunity to eat this kind of dish before, so I don't know what kind of taste it is. Add 108 yuan a piece, of course I'm worried, the two of us can eat hot pot for 216 yuan Yes, but now I know that eating here is more cost-effective than eating hot pot, barbecue, and barbecue."

Zhou Sen nodded and smiled: "That's right, I went to a restaurant with an average per capita of 1000 yuan. Except for the good decoration, good service, and good appearance of the dishes, other aspects were very average, and there is no need for 1000 yuan here. You can taste very delicious food, of course it is cost-effective.”

There is no harm without comparison.

In other words, it depends entirely on peers.

The price is similar to that of Beiyang Hotel, or a restaurant with a higher price, but it can't taste like him. It's just that the price is expensive, and other aspects are not good.

As for restaurants that are cheaper than him, there is no way to make such dishes.

Therefore, whether it is the price or the taste of the dishes, Beiyang Restaurant has the upper hand.

They have no chance of competing at all.

Fortunately, although Beiyang Hotel has an advantage in terms of price and taste, it also has a very big disadvantage.

That is, the number of packages sold per day is limited.

At most, there are [-] set meals, which will not have much impact on the surrounding restaurants.

As for the farther restaurants, it will not have any impact.

Otherwise, Beiyang Hotel might really become the target of public criticism.

Just because he has considered this issue, it is said that Lin Beiyang has not thought about the problems that will exist in this regard.

When the cooking was over, the two of them just finished their meal.

Seeing that there were no other guests for the time being, Lin Beiyang walked out from inside.

Zhou Sen is a regular customer, but his friend is not.

"Two, how about today's two-star set menu?"

Zhou Sen first gave a thumbs up and said: "Boss, although the taste of the two-star dishes is not as good as the five-star set meals, it is also much better than the dishes I have eaten in other places."

"It's my first time here, and it gave me a big surprise. It's really unexpected. If I knew the taste was so good, I should have come here a long time ago. Even if it's a five-star set meal, I would like to taste it."

"Hahaha, now that I know the taste of the restaurant's set menu, I can continue to taste it next time."

Lin Beiyang naturally seized the opportunity to extend the invitation.

Zhou Sen nodded with a smile and said, "Boss, we have decided that when we get paid next time, we will definitely come here to taste the five-star set meal for the first time."

"Okay, Beiyang Restaurant welcomes you at any time. If you have other friends, you can also introduce them to have dinner. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together."

"Don't worry, if there is a chance, there will definitely be other friends willing to come over for dinner. Besides, we have other things to do in the afternoon, so we will leave first."

"Okay, I'll see you off."

After sending the two of them out of the hotel, Lin Beiyang returned to the hotel.
