When Su Yan was woken up, it was already half past six. Chef Zhou Hua obviously overestimated the strength of the members and expected eleven o'clock. It was not until one o'clock that everything was completed. Everyone did not bother to wash up and fell asleep when they were tired.
When we were in the car, everyone was not in good spirits, especially Mumu and Xiaozhu. They had a separate system and were not under the direction of the chef. They could only rely on themselves. In order not to make mistakes, they practiced for two more times.
When I was young, I couldn’t even try to persuade him.
Before the filming started, Sister Hong directly distributed a bottle of energy drink to each person. The show had its own designated product since the year before last year. As long as the filming started, other drinks were not allowed to appear.
This money has nothing to do with the members, it is corporate sponsorship, so that Wuchao can continue to work for a long time. In the past few years, what they have received from it has long exceeded the performance fee.
We arrived at our destination soon, and a stall had been set up outside the restaurant. This was the result of the matchmaking by the production team. Xiao Sa was very surprised when she saw the sign that said oranges were one yuan a pound.
"So cheap? Although I don't know how much mushrooms and other things cost, I'm still impressed by the oranges. They seem to cost several times more in Yanjing."
"It's orange in the south, and tangerine in the north. The Minjiang River is originally the place of production, but 1 yuan seems a bit too cheap." As a local, Chi Chi has the right to speak.
"It's three yuan from the supermarket. I bought the practice materials a few days ago." Xiaozhu said, "It's tripled."
"We have prepared so much. If there is no one around, let's cover it up and save them from having to travel so far in vain." Mu Mu whispered from the side.
However, his plan soon fell through.
Starting around nine o'clock, many vehicles began to arrive one after another, and the empty parking lot gradually became a little crowded. Before the business started, people stood outside in groups chatting, or buying some snacks and cushions first.
These specialties have also become targets.
Electronic scale and price list are standard.
There were many housewives among them, and they knew the prices of vegetables very well. Except for shepherd's purse, everything else was sold out in less than an hour, especially oranges. A ton of oranges were brought to the scene, and they were immediately empty. One of the customers was a small child.
The owner of the supermarket even signed a contract directly with the village, giving him 500 kilograms per day.
As for the poor sales of shepherd's purse, the main reason is that people don't know much about it and don't know how to cook it!
The owner of the rest stop has also made adjustments. In addition to the prices in the canteen that are specified by the program team, the snacks, drinks, and drinks in the canteen have also been adjusted. However, the various costs are there, although they are not yet available.
It's exactly the same as in the city, but looking at the endless crowd inside fully illustrates the effect.
Su Yan didn't have time to stare inside now. Teacher Huang Lei and the chef were watching among the members. He was reassured that Sister Hong would take care of it during the filming.
He is currently counting people in the parking lot with Big Fat, as well as the TV station and local staff who came to assist.
The original plan was to receive a total of about 500 customers for lunch and dinner, but according to the current situation, the number has been at least doubled.
At last count, including invited fans, a total of more than 1,150 people came.
After many discussions, a new plan was quickly made.
First of all, these people who come here must be satisfied. After all, I learned during the conversation that some of them really came from the neighboring province last night. If they only bought a few kilograms of oranges and went back, they would be disappointed. Everyone or the family would be disappointed.
Simple number plates were issued.
Secondly, for the members, the lunch and dinner services are combined into one meal. When there are no more people, it will be considered over. Originally, the chef will not participate in the final actual battle this week, but the number of people has more than doubled, so naturally there will be an exception.
As for the materials, they will definitely need to be increased. It just so happens that the villagers have to go back to transport some special products. As for the other ingredients, Rongcheng will directly send them over. Anyway, there is still enough time.
Finally, the staff at the toll station who came over were notified. I would like to say that Hongqiao is already saturated and cannot receive any more customers. Although it may have counter-effects, that's all it can do.
During this period, there were also many tourists and drivers who were just passing by to take a rest. They were shocked when they saw the lively scene like a market. After asking, they found out that a program was being filmed here. Many people suddenly became inspired.
I wanted to participate, but was told that the number of people was already exceeded. I felt sorry but I also wanted to buy some souvenirs.
At 10:30 noon, the first fifty people have already started queuing up. The restaurant will open half an hour earlier. This is also the result of the hard work of the members. They have basically not rested all morning, and they have to rush to drink water. I just want to
Say that the waiting time for customers outside will be slightly shortened.
There are fifty numbers, but there are more than fifty people. Basically, they are at least lovers, and more often than not, they are families. At a rough calculation, there are less than 200 people.
The members have prepared a total of five dishes here. In other words, in the best case scenario, if each number only orders one dish, it would cost 300 yuan, which is an average of 60 yuan per group. Everyone knows that this is impossible.
The camera showed a panoramic shot. The square was crowded with people and cars. When Su Yan saw this scene, he was also worried about the members. Logically speaking, as the number of customers increased, the number of chefs should also increase, but Huang Lei
They decided to do it themselves, but they still asked the rest stop staff to help with some preliminary preparations, for no other reason than to save time.
"I feel like the rice I can steam now is enough for me to eat for a year." Yang Di sighed while washing rice.
"You've done the math." Xiaozhu raised his right hand: "Look at me, I guess the color won't fade in this month. Last night when I went to bed, there was a faint smell of orange."
"You might as well get an orange manicure, it won't look weird." Chi Chi came up with a bad idea.
Huang Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the others with a smile. As long as he still had the energy to joke, it would be fine. He and Chef Zhou were the main force, and they were dancing there with a huge spatula. This was already
It’s the third pot.
Zhou Hua was in charge of braised pork. In addition to his own affairs, he also had to help other members in various ways, switching from small pot to big pot. No one was very skilled at it, but fortunately, there were no major problems.
In the last ten minutes, preparations were completed and everyone went to the toilet to wash their faces.
"Infinite challenge, come on! Come on! Come on!!!"
After shouting in unison.
Business begins.
“Welcome.”
"good afternoon."
"hello."
When the customers who had ordered at the door passed by the window, the members greeted them with smiles. Many young fans covered their mouths and were so happy when they saw the stars. After sitting down, they took out their mobile phones to take pictures before entering.
, the program team has warned that it’s okay to take photos and chat a few words, but it’s not allowed to stand in front of the window and watch.
"Teacher Huang, this is shepherd's purse rice soup that has been stewed for an hour. Please try it." Yang Di came over with a small bowl.
"Hululu...hmm!" Huang Lei raised his thumb: "Okay, young man, this soup is really good, the thickness is just right. If you drink a bowl when it's cold in winter, it will definitely warm your stomach and heart, by the way.
, how much does your share cost?"
Yang Di was very happy: "Normally a portion is 15 yuan, and if you come by yourself, it is 4 yuan a bowl."
"Very good, very good, oh! Your order is here, go and take a look."
"Okay."
"Zizzizi~~"
Not only Yang Dina, but also small notes were printed on the conveyor in front of everyone, especially Huang Lei's Mushroom and Pork Belly Rice Bowl. The order person at the front desk was obviously highlighting the introduction, and Huang Xiaochu's name had already been announced.
, you can taste his craftsmanship for 18 yuan, and everyone doesn’t mind having a portion.
There are only a few people who order two dishes. Many families of four simply order one portion of each dish. Many young couples also want to do the same, but the staff persuade them not to eat. It is a waste.
Said it was a waste of time.
There is also the orange cake made by Maki and Xiaozhu, which is the most popular. It can also be regarded as a dessert, especially when customers see that it is made by these two handsome guys, they will almost order one to try it.
Fortunately, the oven prepared at this rest stop is large enough. The two of them made the dough overnight last night. In the morning, they boiled the oranges and poured them over evenly, then added some raisins, other dried fruits and the like.
, just put it in the oven. In terms of speed, it is even faster than Huang Lei’s Braised Pork Rice.
"Ding dong, customer No. 5, please pick up your meal."
"Ding dong, customer No. 9, please pick up your meal."
"Ding dong, customer No. 13, please pick up your meal."
The buzzing sounds are endless, and delicacies with the members' thoughts are being made one after another, placed on the table, and entered into the mouths of customers.
"Hmm...this cake is delicious. It turns out that oranges can do this."
"You didn't listen just now. This is made from local oranges. I see they are sold outside, and they only cost 1 yuan a pound."
"Then let's take some with us when we go back and try making it ourselves."
"Okay, but there is no recipe. Do you know how to do it?"
"Silly, when the program is broadcast, there will definitely be a process, just write it down."
This is a young couple.
"Xiaobao, try the beef. Uncle Huang Lei made it himself...Hey, you want to eat shiitake mushrooms, don't you usually like to eat them...Okay, okay, open your mouth."
"Daughter-in-law, come on, you can also try this braised pork rice. It's very good. It feels like it's made in a restaurant."
"I haven't had shepherd's purse soup for a long time. My grandma used to make it a lot when I was a kid."
This is a family of three.
"Wait a minute, take pictures first."
"Zhou Kai, eat slowly and get half of the whole cake."
“The curry is good, very fragrant.”
"Wang Xiao, try the rice with shepherd's purse soup, it's really delicious."
"This seems to be made of rice soup. It's delicious. Let's order another one."
"Okay, five dishes are less than 100, which is too cheap. I'll take two more cakes, oh no, four. If you can't eat them, just take them away."
These are some young friends.
Huang Lei held a spatula in one hand and akimbo with the other. After two hours of non-stop high-intensity work, he had to stop and take a break. However, looking at the customers in front of him who were all eating deliciously, the smile on their faces
I couldn't hold back my smile either.
"Is it tasty?"
After getting the response, he was even happier.
"Teacher Huang, have a bowl of soup first. I've let it cool down." Yang Di took advantage of this moment to bring a bowl to each member. You must know that everyone hasn't eaten lunch yet.
Everyone was very tired. Both young men Mu Mu and Xiao Nanyuan showed signs of fatigue, not to mention the others. Su Yan felt a little distressed when he saw it, but there were hundreds of people waiting outside the door, wanting to rest.
I guess they don't want to either.
However, we still have to eat. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the program team temporarily stopped the passenger flow, allowing the members to have a simple bite and take a rest.
The customers also understood, and instead comforted them by saying that there was no need to worry, they were all here anyway, so it didn't matter if they waited a little longer.
This made Huang Lei and the others a little embarrassed. They took half an hour to rest and eat, then started the next round of work directly, and then it was eight o'clock in the evening.
Nine hours of bursts.
We received a total of 1,309 guests. Looking back, we did some business.
The number of orders was 1,609, of which desserts were the largest, reaching nearly 400.
The nine people sitting in the hall didn't want to talk, listening quietly to Su Yan reporting various data.
"In addition to the restaurant, the villagers have also gained a lot. They sold nearly three tons of oranges, more than 600 kilograms of mushrooms, and 300 kilograms of shepherd's purse... The customer praise rate is 99%. Some of them are not satisfied because they came here.
It was late, there was not enough material and time, and I gave it to you without tasting the food you wanted. It can be said that your efforts have been a great success."
"Pah, pah, pah!"
The program team took the lead in applauding, and everyone's hard work can be seen.
"Hey, I suddenly started to miss Director Chen." Xiao Sa was not excited at all, but said this silently.
"Yeah, I've probably finished all the cooking in my life." Mumu rubbed Huang Lei's shoulders there.
"But when I thought it was finally over, I suddenly felt better."
"Thanks to the help of Chef Zhou Hua, if there were only a few of us, we would probably cause a lot of trouble."
After Xiao Nanyuan finished speaking, everyone stood up: "Thank you, Chef Zhou!"
"Where, where." Chef Zhou was a little embarrassed: "You are doing very well and making rapid progress. I hope next time..."
"No, there won't be a next time..." Xiaosa and the others waved their hands quickly.
Su Yan was amused.
The owner of the restaurant stood beside him with an excited look on his face.
"Mr. Huang, the next step is up to you." Huang Lei said, "Do you want to make these five dishes?"
"Yes, our chefs have basically learned it."
"Okay, no changes are allowed in the price. This is what we agreed in advance."
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Mr. Huang's face burst into laughter: "I know the truth. No matter how high the price is, if no one consumes it, it is still a piece of cake. I will definitely abide by the agreement and serve the tourists well. I invite the audience across the country to testify."
."
A rough calculation shows that his income from the restaurant alone today is tens of thousands, not including gas stations and small shops, which is worth several days in normal times. The most important thing is that he accumulated it at a low price.
Yes, after forming a reputation, there is no need to worry about losing business.
It was getting late, everyone said goodbye and headed back home.
