Chapter 44 What a good idea

The next day, as soon as he arrived at the hotel, Tian Mingzheng walked over slowly after seeing him.

"Xu Yang, morning."

"Morning, chef."

"I heard you had an accident here last night?

Xu Yang nodded: "It was indeed an accident, I didn't even think of it myself."

"It is said that a customer ordered you to make the mapo tofu, but you can't do it twice in a row. Is there such a thing?"

I found myself, and there seemed to be nothing else except this.

As a head chef you will know sooner or later.

If he doesn't know it, someone will tell him.

Anyway, I have to talk to him about the limited cooking at the end, so let's talk about it together, and then solve it.

"There is such a thing. After I made the first mapo tofu, I felt that the taste was not up to par. Because I was an old customer who had eaten it once, so I knew what it tasted like. I made it again and still had the same problem, so I changed it. other solutions."

If I had known that there was a limit to the number of cooking times per day, this would not have happened. Maybe I would have brought it up a long time ago, and I wouldn't wait until today.

With that said, Tian Mingzheng nodded.

"I wasn't there last night, so I don't know the specific situation, what caused it, but I remember that your kid's mapo tofu has always tasted good."

Tian Mingzheng was absent last night due to business. He was shocked when he heard the news when he arrived at the hotel this morning.

Xu Yang’s Mapo Tofu is not as good as it is delicious, but everyone who has tried it says it is good.

I didn't receive a bad evaluation throughout July.

How could it be possible to redo it twice and still not get the taste of the dish.

I wanted to make a phone call to clarify, but I think it would be more clear to ask in person.

Seeing Xu Yang enter the restaurant in the morning, he immediately came over to ask why.

"Chef, there are reasons for the ingredients and cooking. I think the main reason is because I am too tired during the cooking process. I repeat cooking these dishes every day. The more times I cook these dishes, the more I feel the quality has declined, and I feel a little out of my depth."

Same reason as last night.

Tian Mingzheng didn't think much about it.

"I can understand that it takes a lot of energy to make Mapo Tofu taste that way, and it takes a lot of energy to turn over and over again every day for the same dishes, and it will easily cause problems if the number of times is too long."

Xu Yang was surprised.

I thought Tian Mingzheng would be as suspicious as Wang Yuangang.

Such a reason seemed unbelievable, but unexpectedly he believed it.

"It's just how did you make a mistake twice in a row?"

Seeing his question, Xu Yang thought for a while and replied: "To be honest, it doesn't feel right. The whole cooking process is fine, and the taste of the finished product is too different."

Tian Mingzheng pondered for a moment.

Then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's ignore this, how did you negotiate with the customer in the end? I read the bill, and it seems to be different from the original order."

Xu Yang told him the solution and the promise he made after meeting the guests.

"Yes, the solution is very good. The guests will not be disappointed. At the same time, they will become your loyal fans. Maybe they will help promote it after returning."

Hearing that Xu Yang explained the reason to the guest very readily, he did not prevaricate with other reasons to express his agreement.

For example, regular customers come here for the taste, and they will be disappointed if they don’t get the taste they imagined. At this time, a real explanation is needed.

If the explanation is clear, I will probably understand it, and I will come back next time.

If you just find a reason to prevaricate, or have a bad attitude, it will make the diners feel that they are defiant if they have cooking skills, and the possibility of not coming back is very high.

Seeing that Tian Mingzheng also felt that such a solution was acceptable, Xu Yang knew that the matter should come to an end and would not pursue it further.

"Chef, I think so too."

"Okay, the guests didn't complain last night, and you finally solved the problem to avoid the loss of customers. If you make a mistake for the first time, it won't be counted in the assessment. If it happens again, it won't work."

The result is the same as he thought.

After all, it didn't cause too much impact, and Tian Mingzheng took good care of him, so it was natural that the major issue was turned into a small one.

Xu Yang did not forget what he was going to do.

"I see, and the chef, I want to tell you something."

Tian Mingzheng smiled: "I am also preparing to tell you something. Do you want to ask some follow-up questions from last night?"

"Yes, after going through this incident last night, I was worried that the same situation might happen again in the future. Not every time I can meet a talkative guest, so I thought of a solution to avoid it."

"It seems that we want to go together. After learning what happened last night, I know that this situation will inevitably happen again, and we must find a way to avoid it."

In the end, Xu Yang was the first to express his thoughts.

Xu Yang then told Tian Mingzheng exactly what he had said to Wang Yuangang.

After hearing this, the latter frowned and fell silent, as if it was not easy to solve.

After a few minutes, I slowly said: "Xu Yang, to be honest, my thinking is not enough for me. You must know that it is already an exception for me to promise you to cook the specified dishes. It is not realistic to specify the number of times."

Xu Yang naturally knew this.

Wang Yuangang also said in advance that the possibility is unlikely.

But he has no choice, either agree, or the same situation will appear later.

"Chef, I know the request is too much, but in order to bring more delicious dishes to the diners, this must be done, otherwise the situation last night will be repeated. I am not asking for a limit on the number of times, but the last A few popular dishes are limited."

The three dishes proposed by Xu Yang are fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu, and husband and wife lung slices. As for the two-star dishes, there is no need for them for the time being, and there are not many single dishes.

"Xu Yang, why don't you listen to my thoughts?"

"it is good."

"You see, if you stay in the Sichuan kitchen and cook, there are many specified orders every day. Once the orders increase, the working hours and cooking times will increase. Sometimes it is too busy and it is easy to make mistakes."

Xu Yang cannot deny this point, as more and more customers have tasted, there may be more orders in the future, and it is difficult to avoid.

He also worries about a problem.

What if two-star dishes also appear too many times? You can’t propose more dishes to be added to the limited list.

Even if Tian Mingzheng reluctantly agrees this time, whether he will choose to refuse next time is not a big trouble for him.

"Chef, I know this, I just don't know what the solution is."

Tian Mingzheng continued: "I mean, you go directly to the boutique kitchen to cook."

After speaking, Xu Yang immediately understood what he meant.

Fine dishes need to be ordered in advance, and each time they are completed by multiple chefs.

Xu Yang can choose the dishes he wants to cook, and there will no longer be a situation where he has to cook one dish many times a day.

Not to mention, it's a good idea.
