Mr. Sun’s apprentice’s surname is Gao, Gao Changhe. Mr. Sun called him here and he immediately agreed.
Gao Changhe recently had the idea of opening a new store. It would be too tight to make ends meet with one store, but he just bought a wedding house for his eldest son in full, and he was still in debt. He couldn't open it even if he wanted to. Besides, he opened it.
Neither son is willing to go to a new store. They both want an old store. He can't open two new stores at once.
Just when he was in trouble, Mr. Sun called, which solved his pressing problem.
The old store is left to the wife and he goes out to work. This is equivalent to an extra income. The two sons do not have to fight for the old store. They will work together. After they get married, they will think of ways to open a new store each.
The most troublesome chef problem was solved so easily, and Gu Zheng immediately relaxed a lot.
Mr. Sun's apprentice's cooking skills are definitely good. What Gu Zheng needs is the cooking skills of chicken blood soup. There is nothing else in his shop except chicken blood soup. As long as the chicken blood soup can be made well.
Besides, Old Disciple Sun has been with Old Sun for twenty years. He used to use that pot of old soup and is familiar with it. Such a person is the most suitable person.
There can't be only one person in the kitchen, but with the chef and other helpers, it will be much easier for the apprentices. Gu Zheng can find these through his own connections. He is a food critic and has contact with many chefs.
After making a few calls and asking some people, Gu Zheng quickly found three more helpers, and the kitchen issue was finally solved.
One chef, three assistant cooks, and four chefs are enough. The store manager, foreman, and waiter are all Chang Feng is looking for, so he is at leisure.
The next day Chang Le signed a transfer agreement with the shareholders of Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup. The money was provided by Gu Zheng and Chang Feng, but the two did not know that after they signed the agreement, Chang Le found someone to transfer the company.
The shop offered a high price for the purchase.
Chang Le also needs a guarantee when buying a whole set of shops.
It saves money and people will not renew the lease after the contract expires. Chang Le has the money to buy a shop without losing money. It is considered an investment and is very cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
Gao Changhe arrived in Shencheng on the third day. He was very curious about Gu Zheng. He knew about Gu Zheng's achievements and also knew that the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng was very delicious, even better than that made by his master.
He didn't feel dissatisfied with this, he was just purely curious.
The people at the Duck Blood Vermicelli Store withdrew yesterday, and today they have some free time. Chang Feng actually brought over the entire team, from the store manager to the waiters, and they didn't even need training, they were ready to start work directly.
These people originally worked in a restaurant. Chang Feng knew the owner of the restaurant and specifically wanted to ask him for help. The friend knew that he was in a hurry and sent all the waiters from his hotel over without saying a word.
This hotel is just a small property of his. It is a good deal to have such an opportunity to deepen the relationship with Mr. Chang Feng.
From the store manager to the waiters, everyone arrived, and Chang Feng gave them a salary increase, including food and accommodation. These people were not dissatisfied and happily came to work in the new store.
The new store is larger than their original store, but there are only two private rooms. The original duck blood vermicelli soup does not require private rooms, and the two private rooms are reserved for important guests.
After Gao Changhe arrived in Shanghai, it was Gu Zheng and Chang Feng who picked him up at the train station. He was a future chef and deserved attention.
Gao Changhe is only in his forties, but he looks at least fifty. His hair is half white, he is dressed very plainly, and he is 1.7 meters tall. His appearance is very similar to that of a migrant worker. People who don’t know better would really think that
He is a migrant worker.
Gu Zheng has never looked down on migrant workers, but because of the working environment, most migrant workers don't wear very good clothes. This is what Gao Changhe looks like now.
After picking him up, the three of them went to the new store together. Someone was removing the sign outside the store, and the entire team brought by Chang Feng was cleaning up inside.
In fact, there is nothing to clean up, except to remove all the marks with the previous names and replace some wall decorations. They are only responsible for cleaning up and let someone from a powerful decoration company do it.
Looking at the huge new store, Gao Changhe was also shocked.
He knew that Gu Zheng, a young man, had good cooking skills, but he didn't expect that the newly opened store was so big. The upstairs and downstairs combined were bigger than the old Sun's store.
Gu Zheng only learned about the area of this store yesterday. It is 420 square meters downstairs and 300 square meters upstairs, totaling 720 square meters. A store of more than 700 square meters is indeed not small.
"Master Gao, you will be the head chef from now on, and three assistant chefs will come tomorrow. As for me, it may only be for three months. After three months, I will fully hand over the management of this place to you, okay?"
Gu Zheng took Gao Changhe to visit the kitchen. In fact, there was nothing to visit. The kitchen was well done before, so he just needed to find a place where he could put the old soup.
"Okay, okay, no problem, but this place is so big, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the head chef!"
Gao Changhe waved his hands hurriedly, looking a little panicked. He originally thought he was just being asked to help, but he didn't expect that Gu Zheng actually asked him to be the head chef.
Even Mr. Sun doesn't know this.
"You are Mr. Sun's disciple. If you can't do it, who else can do it? Don't worry, our place is different from other stores. We only make chicken blood soup. Unless you have no confidence in chicken blood soup, you must be the head chef.
!”
Chicken Blood Soup Gao Changhe certainly has confidence and has been making something for his whole life. If he doesn’t have confidence in this, why would he do it?
Hearing Gu Zheng say that he was asked to make only chicken blood soup, he was surprised and moved at the same time. The boss only asked him to make one thing. It was not that he didn't believe him, but that he did it because of trust. Chicken blood soup is the staple food in the store.
, the most important food.
"Boss, in addition to chicken blood soup, I can also make some cold dishes, but not braised vegetables. I'm not good at it. You can find a better braised vegetable chef!"
Gao Changhe said honestly, the boss said so, but he couldn't really do it.
Gu Zheng laughed, shook his head and said: "Master Gao, you didn't understand what I meant. I actually said just now that we only make chicken blood soup, and we only sell chicken blood soup. There are no cold dishes or braised vegetables here.
There’s nothing but chicken blood soup!”
“Only selling chicken blood soup!”
Gao Changhe's eyes widened. This shop actually only sells soup and nothing else. How can anyone open a chicken blood soup shop like this? Whether his small shop or the Sun family's old shop, there are all kinds of side dishes and cold dishes.
, stewed vegetables are all included, and the profit from selling these things is not low.
Just like in his small shop, Lin Run is the thinnest chicken blood soup because it is cheap. On the contrary, these side dishes are very profitable, with gross profit of 60 to 70%. These side dishes account for at least half of the monthly net profit.
"Yes, we only sell chicken blood soup, so you don't want anything else. We won't sell anything except chicken blood soup!"
Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. He didn't think about how much money he would make. He just wanted to complete the test task and sell five thousand portions of chicken blood soup every day.
Besides, the current Gu Zheng has very strict food requirements. Selling food made from low-grade and junk ingredients will only affect the taste of chicken blood soup, unless they are all inferior ingredients, but inferior ingredients are not that easy.
Found it, so in order to keep improving, other things are not sold.
Of course, there is another very important reason. He and Chang Feng are both lazy and don't want to make it so troublesome.
