Rebirth 07: Starting with Saving a Bankrupt Restaurant

Zhou Wen glanced at it and naturally knew who Shan Wei was talking about.

"Boss, the girl I brought to the restaurant last time was actually quite nice; she was very serious about her work."

Zhou Wen pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "How about this, you practice driving for the next few days, and see if there are any suitable candidates for the restaurant."

"If the restaurant doesn't find a satisfactory candidate later, we'll try working at the restaurant again."

After all, even if they say they're looking for another kitchen helper, they still need to confirm that Shan Wei will be doing the delivery job.

Zhou Wen was also worried that Shan Wei would only stay for a few days and then feel too tired and want to go back to his original position.

Of course, no matter what, we have to wait until Shan Wei can skillfully turn on the battery.

After the restaurant closed for the night, Zhou Wen also asked Shi Ying to drive the battery back.

Shi Ying hadn't expected her boss to be serious.

"We can't just leave it here after buying it, can we? You guys come to the restaurant so early every day, this battery will save you a lot of time."

In the end, Shi Ling agreed.

"Drive slowly at night and be careful," Zhou Wen said to Shi Ying and the other person who had put on their helmets.

"Okay." Shi Ying nodded, while Shi Ling waved her hand gently and then drove away from the restaurant on her electric scooter.

……

The next day, Zhou Wen also organized his thoughts on the discounted package from the previous day.

They also created discounted set meals based on the dishes that customers frequently order at the restaurant.

The first option is noodles and rice bowls, plus a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) as part of a special offer.

The second option is a discount on cold dishes: order three meat cold dishes and you can get a free plate of vegetarian cold shredded vegetables.

The third option is that if you order a certain amount of chicken skin and crayfish, you can get extra freebies.

The latter two offers are for dine-in customers, while the former is for delivery services.

After all, Zhou Wen planned to shift the focus of his food delivery business to places like construction sites and internet cafes.

When Shi Ying and her companion arrived at the store, Zhou Wen explained the set meal to them.

Have the two of them write it on the menu.

Once the restaurant opens, the special offer packages will be officially launched.

The effect is also immediate.

The restaurant's new set meals are also very popular.

When everyone saw that there were discounts for buying more, they were naturally thrilled.

With the discounts, sales of the dishes have increased, especially the first set meal.

Zhou Wen was very satisfied with the results after a day's work.

In the past few days, Zhou Wen has also thought of a suitable food that is quite similar to roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

That's rolled liangpi, which is usually called "guo liangpi" in Henan.

Around this time in 07, there were vendors selling liangpi (cold skin noodles) in Fujian Province, but they were all cut into strips and served cold. There were no rolled liangpi available.

Liangpi (cold skin noodles) can be made, but Zhou Wen thinks it's too time-consuming, so it's better to just buy it at the market; some local workshops sell it.

the next day.

After finding the workshop, Zhou Wen also inquired about the price.

At 1.5 yuan per jin (500g), a single sheet of cold noodles weighs approximately 200 grams. Zhou Wen was quite satisfied with the weight and size of the noodles.

Rolled cold skin noodles are easy to make and are also suitable for breakfast.

So after returning to the restaurant, Zhou Wen made rolled cold noodles for Shi Ling and Shi Ying.

First, sprinkle a little salt, a spoonful of chili oil, sesame paste, and vinegar on the cold noodles to make a simple base flavor, and then use a tool to spread it evenly.

Then he spread cucumber strips, tofu strips, and other similar foods on top, and Zhou Wen also added some pork floss.

Then came the task of rolling up the cold noodles. Zhou Wen's rolling technique was a bit off, but he still managed to roll them up successfully.

This completes the preparation of one serving of rolled cold noodles, which is then cut in half with a knife.

Shi Ying hadn't expected that making liangpi (cold skin noodles) would be so simple. The whole process probably only took a few minutes, and she even felt that she could do it herself, except for some problems when rolling the liangpi at the end.

Shi Ying is not unfamiliar with liangpi (cold skin noodles), but this way of eating liangpi rolled up is unfamiliar.

Shi Ying took the rolled-up cold noodles from Zhou Wen and smelled the aroma of chili oil and sesame paste mixed together.

Knowing that the restaurant was going to launch a new dish today and hadn't had breakfast, Shi Ying suddenly felt hungry.

He took a big bite, along with the ingredients.

Although this rolled liangpi (cold skin noodles) and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) are both filled with something, they are two different foods in terms of texture and taste.

The first difference lies in the texture of the outermost layer. The bun in a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) has a more substantial texture, plus...

Liangpi (cold skin noodles) is soft, chewy, and elastic, with a refreshing taste.

Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) contains meat and green peppers, while liangpi (cold skin noodles) has several ingredients, making the flavor more diverse.

The aroma of roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) mainly comes from the aroma of meat, while the aroma of liangpi (cold skin noodles) comes from the aroma of sesame paste.

Seeing this, Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Eat slowly. If you're not full, we can make more later."

Shi Ling took a small bite; it was just plain noodles without any toppings, but because Zhou Wen had spread the seasonings evenly, the cold noodles were still flavorful.

Then I took another bite.

After eating half a roll of cold noodles, Shi Ling, who doesn't have a big appetite, was quite full, as was Shi Ying.

When Shan Wei arrived at the store, Shi Ying volunteered, "Boss, can I try it?"

Zhou Wen nodded and said, "No problem."

Shan Wei was taken aback. Shi Ying was making it for him?

It's definitely edible, but will it taste good?

Dan Wei couldn't help but have doubts.

They wanted their boss to do it, but were too embarrassed to ask, fearing Shi Ying's...

Whenever she had the chance to learn from someone, Shi Ying would watch and take notes very attentively.

So there was no need for Zhou Wen to remind him at all.

However, Shi Ying lacked confidence in herself and would occasionally glance at her boss, her eyes seemingly asking if she had made a mistake.

Zhou Wen nodded slightly, indicating to Shi Ying that there was no problem.

After the ingredients were mixed, Shi Ying rolled up the cold skin noodles. Surprisingly, Shi Ying's technique was much better than Zhou Wen's, and the final product looked much better than what Zhou Wen had made.

Finally, I made a cut about a quarter of the way through the rolled-up cold skin noodles. After all, I made it myself, so I had to try it.

Shi Ying ate the rolled liangpi (cold skin noodles) she made herself, nodding with satisfaction, clearly very pleased with her creation.

After trying it, Shan Wei also found that the liangpi (cold skin noodles) tasted pretty good. However, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that if his own boss made this liangpi, it might taste even better.

Finally, the price of liangpi (cold skin noodles) was set at three yuan per piece.
