After all, there is an unwritten rule in the catering industry that old restaurants always taste better than new ones.
And the newer the store, the worse the taste.
In fact, this is not everyone’s illusion, but it is true.
The main reason for this is due to the current situation of segmented expansion. The position of the head chef at the main store is basically fixed.
Those who can be asked to leave and those who are willing to leave are usually the second and third chefs.
And these second and third chefs may be slightly better than the head chef in some aspects.
But if it comes to comprehensive management, taste quality, and overall cooking skills, then most of the second and third chefs will definitely not be able to compare with the head chefs.
After these second and third chefs are hired away, they will become head chefs in new stores.
When new stores appear, new second chefs will be poached from these second chefs' stores, and these new second chefs will become the head chefs of the new stores.
By analogy, the faster a restaurant expands, the shorter the time for chefs to learn and train.
Cooking skills and experience will also become worse and worse, but fortunately this expansion speed is not infinitely fast.
At a certain point, he will reach a helpless tacit understanding with the chef's growth rate.
After all, if the chef's cooking skills are not up to par, then the restaurant will definitely attract very few customers.
Without enough customers, there will not be enough turnover.
Without enough turnover, restaurants cannot survive.
When a store closes, the chefs who were returned will return to other stores to continue their training.
Then wait quietly for the next comeback.
And with the last failure experience, there will be a lot of progress, at least the next time you won't lose so miserably.
So Li Xiao did not choose the new store in Yi'an Plaza, which has a new environment and better services, but went to the old store in Zhujiang New Town.
Although it is said to be an old store, since it was renovated a few years ago, the environment is not too bad.
Lei Garden usually requires reservations only during holidays.
The reason why Li Xiao made a reservation on a working day was mainly because he wanted a separate private room.
After all, he is also worried that his live broadcast will affect others, or be affected by others.
You should know that his current live broadcast has more than 400,000 viewers.
If someone else does something extreme in your live broadcast room during the live broadcast, you will be in trouble.
He turned on his mobile phone and clicked to start the live broadcast, and the message Li Xiao broadcast was quickly sent out.
Due to the advance notification of the live broadcast, the number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded 300,000 in less than 10 minutes, and the number of people is still rising rapidly.
It can be seen that yesterday's temporary suspension did not affect everyone's interest.
On the contrary, the decision to temporarily cancel the broadcast made a large group of melon-eaters even more excited.
"Oh, the anchor can actually live broadcast?"
"I was worried for nothing. I thought the anchor would be banned!"
"Anchor, I have received your prescription. If my father's illness improves, I will reward you with a rocket immediately."
"Anchor, what delicious food will you take us to eat today?"
"Envy, why didn't you draw me?"
"I also got the prescription. I hope my wife will recover from her stomach problem soon."
"?!! Stomach problem, can you send me a private message to the big brother upstairs and share it?"
"No, the host said this is not a universal prescription. Everyone's situation is different and cannot be shared."
"Hey, this isn't Zhujiang New Town. The anchor just went from Xinhui District to Yangcheng?"
Li Xiao smiled and nodded:
"Yes, this audience has good eyesight. The location I am currently in is Zhujiang New Town in Yangcheng, and the place I want to take you to today is Lei Yuan Restaurant in Huangpu J School, which is known as the Cantonese cuisine!"
"Perhaps many people will wonder why Lei Garden is called the Whampoa J School of Cantonese cuisine."
"It's actually very simple. Most of the chefs in famous Cantonese restaurants came from here."
"The rules of the kitchen at Lei Garden are very strict, and there are so many strict codes of conduct that it is outrageous."
"I once saw a piece of rules for organizing cooking plates in Lei Garden's kitchen that was circulated on the Internet. It was a full A4 paper and it scared me."
“It’s not just high requirements, but high standards also create high quality.”
"Black Pearl 2 stars, Michelin 2 stars, it has been ranked No. 1 on Tuantuan Cantonese Cuisine's must-eat list for 20 years, and its online rating is as high as 5.0 points!"
"Today I will take you to find out!"
After reporting her order information, the young lady wearing a cheongsam took Li Xiao into a small private room for four people.
"Hello, I would like to remind the guests that the private rooms here have a 5% service fee and a minimum consumption of 1588. Do you know this?"
"I fully understand, okay, this is the iPad used for ordering. If you need anything, you can call us on it in a timely manner."
"Ok, no problem."
Li Xiao had already seen the menu, so without much hesitation, she ordered what she wanted to eat today on her iPad.
Abalone sauce and chicken feet, shrimp king dumplings, poplar nectar, durian cakes, quicksand buns.
Ice-roasted three-layer pork, caviar, osmanthus and foie gras fried rice, glass squab, rice soaked in lobster soup, three-onion fried prawns, tea tree mushroom squab soup.
4 snacks, 1 dessert, 4 dishes, and 2 main dishes.
I ordered a little too much, but there is nothing I can do if I don’t order so much. After all, there is a minimum consumption for private rooms.
Although this minimum consumption is somewhat against the law.
But after all, the store is located in a place with extremely expensive rent like Zhujiang New Town. It is indeed a bit excessive to occupy such a large private room by myself.
After all, if it were four normal people ordering, then 1588 would be easily reached.
Scan the QR code to pay, the dish is 1670 + 83 service fee, a total of 1753.
Less than a minute after placing the order, the young lady pushed open the door and came in with him, a pot of chrysanthemum tea and a small plate of white sugar in his hand.
Looking at the somewhat familiar scene, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Uncle San used to take some of them to drink tea, and their favorite thing was chrysanthemum tea.
To be precise, the favorite drink of their children is chrysanthemum tea. After all, the sweetness of chrysanthemum tea with white sugar is not something that children can resist.
“Does the white sugar need to be added freshly?”
"OK."
The young lady did not directly pour the white sugar in the small saucer into the chrysanthemum tea, but took out a delicate golden spoon and a bamboo skewer from the side of the table.
Use a small spoon to scoop up a spoonful of white sugar, and use a bamboo skewer to sweep the excess sugar back into the small dish.
One spoonful, two spoons, three spoons.
The small spoon was placed next to the plate of white sugar again, and another long silver spoon was picked up to stir the white sugar in the chrysanthemum tea evenly. The young lady picked up the teapot and poured a small sip into the cup.
He spoke softly:
"One part of white sugar has been added to the chrysanthemum tea. Guest, please ask if you need to add more?"
Oh, what a guy.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Before, I only knew that their kitchen had a lot of rules, but it seems that there are also a lot of rules in this hall.
