There are more than a dozen people in the roast duck department, all wearing brand new chef uniforms today, and they are busy with the work at hand, striving for a good start.

After a week of preheating, the chefs in the roast duck department are a little impatient, and the customers are counting the days on their fingers, always feeling that this week has passed extremely long.

Finally, the day has come for the new release.

In fact, customers have been ordering roast duck since the day before yesterday.

However, the roast duck is new and reservations are not allowed in the store. You can only order a la carte in the store.

This is not because Lin Ji is arrogant, but because a dish like roast duck must be eaten while it is hot and sliced ​​within three minutes of taking it out of the oven, otherwise the quality of the duck will be greatly compromised.

If someone makes a reservation for roast duck at 12 o'clock, and the store has made preparations in advance, but the customer arrives late at 12 o'clock, then the roast duck will not be available.

If you are not prepared, the customer will complain and give you half an hour, but the result is still not done well. Isn't the service level too poor?

Therefore, the best way is not to make a reservation, order when you come, and serve it as soon as it is baked, so that no one is delayed.

"Junior brother, do you need my help?"

Xie Baomin came to the store early and was ready to help Lin Xu.

The new roast duck is so sensational. Today is Saturday again and many people are not at work. It is estimated that there will be a lot of people coming to eat roast duck, so Lao Xie came over early and helped if there was anything I needed help with.

Lin Xu was not polite to him either:

"Senior brother, please be in charge of the roast duck stove."

"Okay, no problem. What time are you going to start baking today?"

Lin Xu thought for a while:

"At half past ten, the first batch of customers will arrive at eleven o'clock. If we start at half past ten, we will bake for forty minutes and we will almost catch up with the first batch of customers."

The earlier you start, the more ducks can be roasted, and the shorter the waiting time for the first batch of customers. After they leave after eating and drinking, they will not delay the dining of subsequent customers.

In this way, the turnover rate will naturally increase.

Outside the store, several advertising company workers were busy fixing red banners hanging from the roof, with large golden letters written all over them:

"Warmly congratulate Mr. Gao Peisheng, master of state banquets, for being the special consultant of Lam Kee Food!"

"Warmly congratulate Mr. Guo Jichang, the master of state banquets, for being the special consultant of Lam Kee Food!"

"Warmly congratulate Mr. Qiu Yaozu, the master of state banquets, for being the special consultant of Linji Food!"

"..."

There are more than 20 banners in total, covering all the directors of the Chinese Cuisine Association. These people are also guests of this state banquet documentary.

The consultants were all fake, and Uncle Gao didn't expect them to teach his apprentice any cooking skills. However, after serving roast duck, he officially became enemies with the Beijing roast duck circle, so he got a bunch of amulets for Lin Xu in advance.

This is actually very necessary, because there are indeed several old roast duck stores that have invited store explorers and UP hosts to visit the stores and try out the food. When the time comes, there is no need to say that it tastes bad, just that the Lin Jihui marketing meeting will be used to promote it.

Today, when conspiracy theories are prevalent, as long as a company is associated with the words "marketing", it is equivalent to poor quality and high price. Even if the company refutes the rumors, many netizens will still be misled.

However, after these banners were hung up, those roast duck restaurants immediately stopped.

These consultants are all the biggest names in the industry. By announcing it now, they have made it clear that they will protect Lin Ji. Anyone who wants to cause trouble must think carefully first.

This is not only the association, but also their disciples and disciples. It is not easy for these people to mobilize and isolate a certain roast duck restaurant.

Before the banner was hung, colleagues in the industry were busy trying to throw dirty water on it, but not long after the banner was hung, every store sent flower baskets, making the event even more lively than when it opened.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lin Xu held a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to Uncle Gao with both hands.

He was actually prepared to be troubled today, but he didn't expect that the troublemakers didn't arrive. Instead, there were a lot of flower baskets. The people who came to deliver the flower baskets were also very polite. Those who didn't know better thought they were long-lost relatives.<

/p>

Uncle Gao smiled:

"This is all a trivial matter. In the catering industry in Beijing, there are many century-old stores, some even three hundred years old. Why these stores can survive to this day is because they focus on quality with one hand and suppress their peers with the other..."
p>

Having said this, he took a sip of tea and continued:

"Your personality is incapable of suppressing your peers, so I will help you block others' suppression. In a year or two, when Lin Ji has established a firm foothold, they will pull you to suppress others."
p>

If you can't beat it, just join. This is a very common method in the catering industry.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"It's true that wherever there are people, there is a world. I thought I could do business well by relying on quality, but I didn't expect there were so many things going on behind the scenes."

Uncle Gao put down his teacup:

"Quality is only one aspect, but it is not everything a catering company can stand on. To be honest, if you don't become famous online, there will be many dirty tricks among your peers."

Lin Xu is quite familiar with these things. There are always rumors on the Internet that he is an internet celebrity chef and Lin Ji is an internet celebrity restaurant.

In a world where Internet celebrity is increasingly becoming a derogatory term, this statement is naturally not a good thing.

Fortunately, Lin Ji has more and more loyal fans, and his business has been booming. He did not give his peers a chance to take action, and this is how we are now.

At noon, Lin Xu held a grand consultant recruitment ceremony in the banquet hall, awarding letters of appointment to more than 20 state banquet masters on behalf of the store.

Shen Guofu looked at this scene with a look of relief:

"I was originally worried that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng, but I didn't expect Chef Gao to have such a way to break the situation. It's amazing. If someone had protected me like this when I started my business, I would be worth more than zero now."

Han Shuzhen rolled her eyes at him:

"Don't be dissatisfied. The more money you make, the greater the risk. We ordinary people can live a normal life. It's useless to make so much money."

Over the years in the hospital, she has met too many businessmen. For orders and business, she drank until her stomach perforated, drank until she fainted, and drank until she became incontinent...

Whenever I see this kind of person, I can't help but think of the days when Lao Shen was running business and was often so drunk that he couldn't find his way out.

Fortunately, after his career was established, the number of social events became less and less, and Lao Shen finally no longer had to hang around the wine table.

Shen Jiayue on the side whispered:

"Mom and Dad, let's go to grandma's house this afternoon. I'm going to show you my skills and make a Northeastern dish you've never tasted before - shaved chicken and tofu!"

Lao Shen smiled:

"I have never eaten anything else, but I have eaten chicken shaved tofu a lot in the past... Can you really make it, my dear? You won't ask Xiaoxu to cook everything again, and you just put it on the plate and cook it, right?"

"Dad, don't peek through the crack in the door. I've made it several times in the past few days. It's super simple and super delicious. Xu Bao also taught me to add salted duck egg yolk to it. Wow, the taste is really terrible. Say."

Salted duck egg yolk?

Although Shen Guofu recently decided to gain muscle and lose fat, his curiosity was immediately aroused when he heard this:

"My daughter is amazing. Let's try your cooking this afternoon. If it tastes good, I'll go to your grandma's house and cook it too, so they don't keep saying you don't know how to cook."

"Ha, cousin Wenqing is now ready to become my teacher. She is very envious of my cooking skills."

While the family was chatting and laughing, the ceremony for issuing letters of appointment had also ended.

Zeng Xiaoqi, who acted as the host, said to Lin Xu:

"Boss Lin, there are suddenly so many consultants in the store. How do you feel now?"

Lin Xu took the microphone and said:

"I feel that the pressure and burden have suddenly increased a lot. Seniors can serve as Lin Ji's consultants. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. This indicates that we must pay more attention to details in cooking in the future and cannot give to seniors

Even if you want to smear your face, you must also serve as a benchmark and strive to make the catering industry in Beijing more prosperous!"

Lin Xu is naturally not afraid of the situation.

But this is also his sincerity. He must work hard to cook and manage, and not to embarrass the master.

As soon as he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:

"The host also invites more than twenty state banquet masters to serve as special consultants of Linji Food, complete the hidden task [Store Consultant], and win a lottery for perfect urban local dishes. Do you want to draw a lottery immediately?"

What? There’s a reward for this too?

Dundun was not around at this moment, so Lin Xu did not draw the lottery immediately, but walked down the small stage in the banquet hall, preparing to eat with everyone.

The meal was very sumptuous, with one roast duck per table, and everyone had a great time.

After lunch, Lin Xu brought some skinless roast duck downstairs and placed it in front of Dundun.

When the little guy started eating, he stroked the kitten's head and started drawing money.

Soon, the system prompt sounded in my mind:

"Congratulations to the host for successfully extracting the perfect urban local dish - Fuzhou!"
