Chapter 216: The Food Designer from the Prime Ministers Mansion
It takes a lot of effort to create a chapter, an octopus chapter!
It’s interesting!
Let’s not say whether it tastes good or not, at least it looks good!
Chen Jianhai carefully looked at the landscape paintings on the plate, pointed at the caviar on the sushi, and asked curiously:
"This is Xinghan Brilliant??"
The corners of his mouth twitched as he quickly recalled "Viewing the Sea" in his mind, and then said bravely:
"Boss, this is Jieshi... Jieshi is adjacent to Jieshi in the east."
As he spoke, he took a deep look at Chen Jianhai while setting the dishes.
Before, he just thought that the boss was discerning in building hotels and selecting employees, but he didn't expect that the boss could also recite poems!
It’s so hard to fool this in the future!
After all, he deliberately named this dish purely to enhance the quality of the dish.
Who would have expected that the boss would ask for details in a serious manner.
Seeing that Chen Jianhai wanted to ask more questions, the table was arranged for fear that he would ask some out-of-the-ordinary questions.
Just grit your teeth,
He pointed to the blank space below and said directly:
"Boss, the water here is so sluggish,"
"Here... it's tall and straight."
Hearing the words "tall and erect", Chen Jianhai's eyes moved directly over.
In the cuttlefish painting on the plate, two mountain peaks suddenly appeared. At first glance, they were really "tall and upright".
"good!"
Chen Jianhai nodded with satisfaction.
"Who came up with this idea?"
"We all thought about it together." Although he said this, his chest was obviously puffed up.
Chen Jianhaizai looked at the plate carefully, his eyes gleaming.
I didn’t expect that!
I actually have this ability in my own plating!
"Have you ever learned to draw before?"
Bao Pan nodded and said with some regret:
"My father forced me to study painting for a few days when I was a child, but I didn't get enough marks when I took the college entrance examination. I didn't get into an art university, so I switched to cooking..."
"Painting has become a hobby."
"Before, I have always been thinking about whether I can combine my major and hobby, so after discussing with my brothers, I came up with a big-effort themed dish."
The more I talked about the presentation, the more excited I became.
Majoring is just for a better job and being able to support your family,
But hobbies and interests are the pursuits of the inner and spiritual world.
It is really exciting and happy to be able to combine hobbies and professional work.
“Very good, very good!”
Chen Jianhai patted the person holding the plate on the shoulder affirmatively.
Sashimi that knows Bajiquan and Hunyuanzhuang.
Learn how to arrange traditional Chinese paintings.
A former landscaper who can act.
The director of human resources who knows fitness.
Looking at it this way, every one of my employees can be called a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!
By the end of the year, these people alone will be able to support a literary evening.
"Very creative! Are there any other dishes?" Chen Jianhai asked.
"Yes!" Chen Jianhai approved of the presentation, and he gained confidence.
The next moment, the platter gave the sashimi a look.
Then the two people stood at both ends of the workbench.
Sashimi skillfully picked up a big fish and put it on the chopping board, holding the knife in his left hand like a butcher undressing a cow.
The plate maker took out a new plate, grabbed the fat cuttlefish that was trying to escape with his right hand, and grabbed it with his fingers at an unknown location on the cuttlefish.
"Puff" sound,
A small pool of squid juice squirted onto the plate.
Chen Jianhai glanced at the squeezed cuttlefish with some sympathy.
This dish looks good, but it’s a bit wasteful!
The left hand on the plate was dipped in ink, and with a few swipes, a winding and flexible line appeared out of thin air from top to bottom on the plate.
Like stardust falling, like a river rolling down.
Immediately after changing the positioning fingers, concise and vigorous lines outline the shape of the horses, each with its head raised and neighing, lifting its hooves and raising its tail, soaring to the sky.
"What is this painting about?" Chen Jianhai asked, looking left and right without seeing it.
"It'll be ready soon."
On the plate presentation side, the sashimi on the other side has been prepared by cutting fresh fish with a flower knife, forming a circle, and carefully placing it on the blank space of the plate.
then,
Lift the soup pot, bring the prepared oil to a boil and pour it on top of the fish.
When fresh fish meat is heated, the surface layer quickly shrinks and tightens, taking on a shape like a tortoise shell.
The cuttlefish juice on the plate before seemed to be scattered but not scattered when covered with clear oil.
Because the brushstrokes used to place the plates are extremely simple, the picture is not blurry, but instead has an ethereal feeling of mist.
"Boss, this is the second dish of the themed concept dish we developed with great effort:"
"Name of the dish: Turtle Suishou."
…
Oops!
It’s quite daring to think!
Chen Jianhai looked at "Guan Cang Hai" and then at "Gui Suishou".
These two dishes are designed,
Those who knew it was the Langai Hotel, but those who didn't knew it thought it came from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"This is Soaring Snake??"
Chen Jianhai pointed to the line that meandered down from top to bottom and asked curiously.
"Yes, boss! This is the soaring snake that ascended to the sky in the mist and turned into ashes," Wei Pan said.
"But you, an old man, are irrelevant." Chen Jianhai frowned.
The ponytails on the plate are all flying out, and they don’t look the same at all.
"Because I don't know how to draw horse fences," Wu said directly.
puff!
Chen Jianhai almost squirted out.
Are you so confident?
Chen Jianhai picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. After all, the freshness of the ingredients was here, and the taste was still very good.
"Can these squid juice be dipped in and eaten?"
Chen Jianhai asked curiously.
The person who arranged the plate looked a little embarrassed and said, "The squid juice is a bit fishy...Customers with strong tastes may want to dip it in."
"We here suggest that it is better to just do it for viewing."
"Oh oh oh."
Chen Jianhai nodded and asked, "Would this painting make the dishes taste more delicious?"
Sashimi said sincerely: "No, it will only be more expensive."
"A plate of caviar sushi like this is usually priced at 46 yuan per plate in hotels. But if it's 'Guan Cang Hai', I think it can be sold for 128 yuan per plate."
"A plate of crispy fish like this is usually priced at 58 yuan in hotels. We think it can be sold for 187 yuan."
Chen Jianhai swallowed his saliva, looked at the serious eyes of the two confidants in front of him, and asked cautiously:
“Is the price a bit high?”
Although the catering industry is indeed a hugely profitable industry,
But the two dishes in front of me didn't increase the portion size, they just had some landscape paintings, and the price tripled.
Isn't this a little too shameless?
Can I be scolded by a customer?
Wei Pan shook his head. "It's not high anymore!"
"I have studied the guests who are vacationing at the Island Hotel. Those who can spend money to vacation and rest in the Island Hotel are more or less pursuing the quality of life."
"These guests have a certain amount of spending power and are willing to spend to enjoy life."
"Compared with cheap and large food stalls, they pursue spiritual relaxation more. They hope that the hotel can provide them with stylish services and memories."
"Although the price of the concept dishes with a big expense theme is high, the connotation and artistic appreciation are not low."
"Art...if the price were lower, it wouldn't have the same taste."
