Chapter 390: Hot Restaurant, Amazing Profits

Not to mention the customers dining in the lobby, even among the customers dining in the private rooms, it is estimated that few people can taste He Yuzhu's dishes.

But it really doesn’t matter. Nowadays, many people are not so picky about the taste of food.

After all, there are still many people who don’t have enough food to eat! And this is still in the imperial capital.

At this time, as long as the food reaches a certain standard, it is already very good.

There is no need to talk about He Yuzhu. Among his apprentices, there are at least a dozen who have reached level five chefs or above.

Let me put it this way! The lowest level of He Yuzhu's apprentice is now level eight.

Especially in Malaysia, the current chef level is at least level three, and it is possible to even reach level two.

The others are also between level three and level four. With a few more years of hard work, they can basically reach level two.

"Then shall we still go eat?" Cai Quanwu asked.

"Go! Why not? Mr. Xu is treating us today!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Three people came out of the company. Li Jiayi took the key to open the car door, got in the car and went straight to Qiurizhai.

Because it was relatively close, we arrived at the destination in just a few minutes.

"Boss Xu, Brother Cai, you guys go up first. I'll park the car and come find you."

"Okay, let's find a private room."

"Ok!"

Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu went in, and Li Jiayi quickly found a place to park the car.

This hotel is not only large, but also has a large open space in front. Let’s put it this way, we won’t have to worry about parking problems for at least the next thirty years.

As for thirty years from now, there is no way, it will definitely not be enough! I guess even if the area is doubled, it may not be enough.

When Li Jiayi went in, Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu had already gone upstairs.

When the waiter saw him come in, he ran over and shouted, "Boss."

"Shh, don't call me boss. Which box did the two people who just entered go to?"

"They went to room 216."

Private room 216 is a small room. Although it is a small room, it can definitely accommodate eleven or twelve people.

"Okay, I'll go find them. Oh, and tell everyone not to reveal my identity. I don't want anyone to know."

"Good boss."

"Girl, I've told you so many times, don't call me boss. Besides, I'm not the boss."

"I'm sorry, I know."

"So, let Chef He prepare all the dishes ordered in Room 216 later."

"Yes."

After talking to the waiter, Li Jiayi went to the second floor.

After Li Jiayi left, the waiter hurriedly made arrangements. Although Li Jiayi said that he was not the boss, the waiter had to treat him as the boss!
Arriving at the door of private room 216, Li Jiayi pushed the door open and went in.

Cai Quanwu was pouring tea at this time. When he saw him come in, he quickly said, "Master Li, have some tea first."

"Ok!"

The free tea provided to guests in Li Jiayi's restaurants are all good tea!

In private rooms like this, first-grade jasmine tea is used, and even people who dine in the lobby are provided with second-grade jasmine tea.

The reason why they are all jasmine tea is because people in the imperial capital like this, and they don’t like to drink other kinds of tea!

As for why there are only level one and level two, and not special grade, it is because there is no such thing as special grade at that time.

Tea of ​​this era is also divided into different grades, but the best grade of each type of tea is grade one.

Let me put it this way, this is only Li Jiayi. If it were someone else, he probably wouldn’t even be able to get level two, let alone level one.

You should know that no matter whether it is the first level, the second level, or even the third level, you need a ticket. If you don’t have a ticket, we won’t sell it to you.

The reason why Li Jiayi has so much is that he has accumulated it over the years.

Every time he settled bills with various factories, he would choose tea tickets first, and then industrial coupons and other tickets.

He used all the tea tickets he had paid for at that time, so he now had a lot of jasmine tea in his space.

I can't say if I can use more, but it will definitely be fine for one or two years. After the tea in the space is used up, I guess I won't need a ticket when I buy next time.

"Thank you, Brother Cai." Li Jiayi took the teacup and said.

"polite."

"Add one more. Just order whatever you want to eat." Xu Huizhen said as she handed over the menu.

"Sister Huizhen, you should come! I can do anything."

This is the dish made by He Yuzhu! No matter what dish it is, it is definitely delicious.

You have to know that He Yuzhu's current level is above technician level! He has already left the level of chef.

Normally, there are five levels of chefs, from low to high: 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1.

A level five chef is equivalent to level nine and level ten cooks.

A level 4 chef is a level 7 or 8 cook.

By analogy, a level one chef is equivalent to a level one or two cook.

Above the first-level chef, there is a culinary technician, who is divided into junior, intermediate and senior levels.

In fact, they are the Special Three, Special Two and Special One of later generations.

He Yuzhu's level is definitely that of a mid-level culinary technician. At present, there are only a few people at this level in the entire imperial capital.

I have to say that He Yuzhu really has talent in this area.

You know, Nan Yi and Liao Kai are only junior culinary technicians at the moment.

Of course, this is only temporary. Before, it was because there were no materials. Although I could often practice cooking at Li Jia's house, it was still a rare occasion.

From now on, we will work in the restaurant, and there will be enough ingredients. I guess it won’t take long before the three of us will become better at cooking.

Let's put it this way! All three of them have the talent to be chefs, but they have been delayed over the years.

"No! I'm treating you to a meal today, so of course you have to order the food!"

"That's right, Mr. Li, you eat out often and are familiar with this, so you should have some!" Cai Quanwu also said.

"That's okay!"

To be honest, neither Xu Huizhen nor Cai Quanwu really knows what He Yuzhu is best at.

Li Jiayi took the menu, looked at it, and quickly selected a few dishes.

Just then a waiter came in and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

"Nine-turn large intestine, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, Dongpo pork elbow, husband and wife lung slices, smoked chicken with straw mushrooms, firewood duck, and white fungus vegetarian stew."

Li Jiayi ordered eight dishes in total, one of which was a Shandong dish, namely Nine-Turn Large Intestine.

Four Sichuan dishes: Mapo Tofu, Twice-Cooked Pork, Dongpo Pork Knuckle and Fuqi Feipian.

We ordered three dishes from the Tan family: smoked chicken with straw mushrooms, vegetarian stew with white fungus, and duck cooked with firewood.

He orders Shandong and Sichuan cuisine, all of which are top quality.

Only the Tan family dishes were not ordered. Although they are also signature dishes, they were not the real delicacies.

It's not that I'm afraid of spending money, but everything else takes time, and some even take two or three days to prepare. The top ten famous dishes of Tan's cuisine.

They are bird's nest in clear soup, braised shark's fin, braised abalone, braised black sea cucumber, steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, sea cucumber with scallions, abalone with oyster sauce, vegetarian stew with white fungus, two-color prawns and firewood-cooked duck.

So the three dishes he ordered also count, they’re just not that famous, and the most important thing is that they can be cooked and eaten at the time.

"Would you like some wine?" the waiter asked after taking down the order.

"Of course, get us two bottles of Moutai."

Before Li Jiayi could speak, Xu Huizhen said to the waiter.

"A lot, please wait."

Although the meal cost a lot of money, no one said anything.

Because neither Li Jiayi nor Xu Huizhen would care about this.

How much would this cost? Even with the wine, it wouldn't be more than two hundred.

Yes, Li Jiayi’s restaurant also doesn’t require tickets, even for drinks, you just need to pay.

The reason for this is that since the reform and opening up, some commodities can be sold at a premium.

Among them is Moutai liquor. The current Moutai liquor is still eight yuan a bottle if you use a ticket, but if you don’t use a ticket, a bottle costs thirty-six yuan.

This price is not low! A first-class worker only earns 33 yuan a month, which is more than a first-class worker's monthly salary.

Of course, after the reform and opening up, the work grade assessment has been restored, and many people have been promoted to higher grades.

Even those who have been receiving regular worker wages will at least get a second or third level certificate in this assessment.

So now the workers all have money, especially those who had a work grade before 1966. Their work grade was upgraded after this assessment, and their salary is even higher.

The work-level assessment was said to have been suspended for ten years, but in fact it was suspended for twelve years and was only officially resumed last year.

The supply and marketing cooperative sells it for thirty-six, but the restaurant sells it for more than thirty-six!

In Li Jiayi Restaurant, a bottle of Moutai costs more than 40 yuan, which is still cheap compared to other restaurants.

Yes, people who can eat in big restaurants and drink Moutai will not care about these ten or eight yuan.

Soon the waiter brought in the wine. After all, the dishes still needed to be cooked, and the wine was ready.

However, they did not wait long, partly because the person having dinner was Li Jiayi.

The second reason is that they came early and it’s not yet time for dinner, so of course it’s faster.

When the three dishes were served, Li Jiayi picked up the chopsticks and said, "Here, try it first."

"it is good."

"It's delicious. No wonder so many people come here to eat." Xu Huizhen said after taking a bite.

"Yes! It's delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food." Cai Quanwu nodded and said.

"It's delicious, isn't it? If you don't have the skills, you can't run a big restaurant like this. If the food you make is not good, you can't keep it going."

"That's true."

"When I came in just now, I took a look. There are so many waiters here! With so many waiters, this boss is not afraid of losing money."

"Uh!"

But what Xu Huizhen said was not wrong. You have to know that there are a hundred waiters and waitresses in this restaurant!

What’s more, Li Jiayi’s salary is high: waiters earn 55 yuan per month and waitresses earn 60 yuan per month.

The reason why waiters get five dollars more is mainly because waiters do the heavy physical work.

The waiters only need to serve tea, take orders and clean up. Even serving the dishes is done by the waiters.

But even so, the monthly salary of these one hundred people is more than 5,000 yuan.

Moreover, waiters and waitresses have the lowest wages, while those in the kitchen have the highest wages.

You should know that among those working in the kitchen, except for some apprentices, only those with certificates earn at least two hundred yuan a month.

Like He Yuzhu, he earns thousands every month, and this is just the beginning, it will be higher in the future.

But even so, this restaurant costs more than 20,000 yuan a month just for wages.

This does not include water, electricity, rent, etc. Yes, although the house is yours, you still have to calculate the rent!
In other words, adding everything together, the monthly expenses of this restaurant alone are around 30,000.

As for whether he could make money, to be honest, he was really worried at the beginning that he couldn't make money.

But now he is not worried at all, because there are more than one.

You should know that the daily turnover of Qiu Rizhai alone is over 50,000. We all know that restaurants have high profits, so you can imagine how much they can earn in a day.

Yes, we have just opened and business is good. Even after this period of time, the daily turnover can still reach 30,000.

So Li Jiayi is not worried about losing money at all now, but will make huge profits.

With the reform and opening up, business may be better in the future because everyone will become richer and richer.

When more people start doing business, most of the time they discuss business, it is probably done at the dinner table.

The three of them quickly finished all three dishes.

Seeing this, Li Jiayi said quickly: "Eat slowly, the good dishes are all behind."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's not eat yet. Let's have a drink first and then eat after the dishes are served." Cai Quanwu put down his chopsticks and said.

Xu Huizhen was reluctant to put down her chopsticks and said, "It's mainly because the dish is so delicious that I couldn't resist."

"Come on, Master Li, I'll toast you."

"No, let's drink together!" Li Jiayi quickly picked up the wine glass.

"Okay, let's have a drink together."

Xu Huizhen also drinks! And she can drink quite a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have ordered two bottles of wine at once.

"That's strong." Cai Quanwu said after putting down his glass after drinking.

To be honest, Li Jiayi is not very fond of Moutai because he doesn't like the sauce-flavored type.

If Moutai is replaced with Xifeng, or Fenjiu, or even Wuliangye, he will drink a little more.

Of course, he would prefer to drink the Lingquan wine he brewed himself, but that was impossible.

For now, he will not take out the Lingquan wine.

This will come slowly, and it will definitely be available in the future, but the price is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

Yes, Li Jiayi plans to go the boutique route and will sell Lingquan wine in the restaurant in the future.

It’s just that he will use the hunger marketing method. Without saying too much, it’s no problem for it to be ten times more expensive than Moutai!
Even so, he would not supply unlimited quantities. Each restaurant would only supply about 100 kilograms per day.

It’s sold out. If you want to drink it, come back tomorrow. Even if you come back, you may not be able to drink it.

Soon the rest of the dishes came up and the three of them started eating.

"good to eat."

"Brother Cai, don't just eat! Come, have another drink."

"it is good."

The meal took more than an hour. Three people finished eight dishes, and there was not much left.

You can imagine how full they were. Li Jiayi was better off because he could eat it often.

But Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu ate too much. It was a bit exaggerated to say that they had to walk with the help of the wall, but the two of them sat in chairs and rested for more than half an hour before getting up.
