After putting up the screens, the reception building is all set up, and the only thing left to decide upon is the menu.

Chen Fei looked at the recipes provided by Zhang Er and the others and asked Wen Yi, "Have you read it and decided like this?"

Wen Yi glanced at him sideways, wondering what he was looking at since he was illiterate! Turning to Fat Zhu, he said: "Our main course is nothing more than chicken, duck and fish. Since there are many cattle and sheep here, I want to make the meat dishes mainly beef and mutton, with other supplements. In order to make the dishes richer, I want you to make at least two flavors of each type of meat, for example, beef, it can be braised and made into soup."

"Vegetarian dishes are nothing more than stir-frying. I think one dish only needs one method. You don't need too many desserts, just two or three. The key is to taste good. Here are the most important ones - side dishes, peanuts or pickles. Okay, just two kinds, you can change them from time to time, and the quantity should be large, because this is a gift, and it doesn’t cost any money.”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Bin and the others and asked: "These are my opinions. Do you have anything to add?"

Chen Fei was shocked and said: "Are you serious? I thought you wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper and you were joking around with this. I came here with Chen Bin to help you because I was afraid that the Huibin Building would not be able to open tomorrow. It seems that you are a villain. Sincerely, you have already made it so specific, and we have nothing more to add.”

Wen Yi looked at Pang Zhu and asked: "Do you have any questions about what I said? From now on, the dishes at Huibin House can only be made by you. I hope that everyone who comes can remember this unique taste of Huibin House. So. Before opening, you’d better cook every dish, and if you’re not sure, you can ask me.”

He clapped his hands and said: "Four girls, I would like to trouble you to help Fat Zhu today and cook all the dishes. The portions don't need to be too much, just the taste. Zhang Erada, you will be responsible for buying the recipes when we order them. Dish, go early and come back early to pay attention to your safety.”

Fat Zhu asked hesitantly: "Can the owner provide a famous dish from Lingcheng? I think that if I want to become famous and have people praise Huibinlou, my skills are far from enough. I was born in a border town. , I know all the chefs from the border towns, and I am afraid that I will let down my employer."

Wen Yi thought for a while and asked: "Okay, let me ask you questions next. I am deciding what dish to order. Have you ever eaten meatballs? They just mince the meat and add seasonings, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. Yes, roll it into a ball as big as an egg, fry it in oil, and the finished product can be made into soup or cooked."

Fat Zhu admired: "Is there such a way to eat it? It doesn't sound difficult."

Wen Yi looked at Chen Bin and shook his head and knew that there was none here. Also, when food was scarce, it was a problem to keep the stomach full. Who would have the heart to study delicious food?

Immediately he knew what he was talking about, and continued: "The meatballs I just mentioned can be made from any kind of meat. There is also a crispy meat dish, which is beef, sheep, pig and other meats cut into strips, marinated in oil, salt and other seasonings for an hour. , the time can be long or short, then add water to the noodles and stir until the batter becomes like the rice paste we often drink. Put the meat strips into the batter and roll it before frying in the oil pan until the surface is golden and it is ready to be cooked. Also There is a dish called barbecue, I have to trouble General Chen for this, his cooking is the best I have ever tasted, you can ask him later."

Chen Bin asked in confusion: "Since you know so much about the process of each dish, why is your craftsmanship so indescribable?"

Wen Yi was really annoyed with him and shouted: "What's wrong with my craftsmanship? I can't describe it. I have to study hard. Why don't you blame me for being uneducated? You said it was delicious at the time and you forgot about it? You were ungrateful. You didn't know it at that time." I should take care of you and let you fend for yourself!"

Seeing Wen Yi dare to speak to Chen Bin like this, everyone couldn't help but sweat for her.

The general, on the other hand, not only did not reply, but also looked at her with a doting look on his face, his expression was extremely helpless. Everyone couldn't help but look at me and others, and smiled ambiguously.

Chen Fei raised his forehead and said: "Sister, your anger came too suddenly. Is it just aimed at Chen Bin? Don't talk about him, I'm a little curious too, why?"

Wen Yi blushed and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I can do it once I see it, but I can't do it once I do it. The steps are obviously the same, but I can't make it taste like others. Maybe I am destined to miss the boiler room."

Fat Zhu said with a smile: "I probably know, it's okay. I'll just prepare it for you to taste when the time comes. My boss is a blessed person. It's normal not to do these little things."

Wen Yi smiled and said, "That's right, don't worry. Although I don't know how to cook it, the best thing is that I know how to eat it. It's up to me to taste it."

Chen Dong and the others couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Next, it was up to Fat Zhu to decide the recipe alone. Chen Fei said boredly: "Tomorrow I will ask my brothers in the army to help promote it, otherwise no one will know what to do by then."

Chen Bin also nodded and said: "Then I will also ask my friends around me to help."

Wen Yi quickly waved his hand to stop and said, "You don't need to. Don't think that you are using your status to put pressure on them and force them to come. I have already thought about the publicity. Brother Chen Fei, are there many beggars in the border town?"

Chen Fei said in confusion: "There are so many, what do you want to do?"

Chen Bin looked at Wen Yi and probably guessed what she was going to do. Who else could be more informed than the beggar?

Sure enough, Wen Yi said: "Tomorrow morning, Zhang Er will contact the beggars at various intersections in the border town and ask them to call out along the street, telling them that the Huibin Building at the top of the city is open. Anyone who comes to the store will receive a snack for free. After shouting, give him a Copper coins as a reward. As for tomorrow, Fat Zhu will use beef to make short-lived pork, and anyone who comes will make some short-lived pork for them, making it the first dish in Huibinlou."

Chen Fei clapped his hands and praised: "This method is so exquisite that people have to admire it. Wen Yi, I feel that I am not far away from becoming rich. You are really a genius in business!"

Everyone jumped and jumped on the spot, clapping and applauding, as if they had succeeded. Wen Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

After everything was in place, Wen Yi pulled Chen Bin aside and said, "Write a statement for me and stick it on the wall at the door. Just say there are private rooms inside, welcome!"

Although Chen Bin knew nothing about Wen Yi's tricks, he believed that there must be her considerations behind every action she took. So no longer hesitate, write it to her immediately.

Chen Bin quietly approached her ear and warned her: "Don't be greedy when you taste the food. Don't overextend yourself."

Wen Yi nodded and said: "I know, let's share some of it evenly and give extra meals to the soldiers tonight. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Chen Fei said: "I can't ask for it. I will send someone to deliver it when the time comes."

It was still early, so Fat Zhu had already finished all the dishes. Wen Yi took a bite of the meatballs first, gave Fat Zhu a thumbs up and said, "It's amazing, this is the taste."

Fat Zhu said sheepishly: "My boss is so polite. This is you, but you refuse to tell me even if I leave others alone. A chef's cooking methods are generally not told to others. It's me who should thank you. Thank you for teaching me without reservation." Thank you for your trust."

Wen Yi said speechlessly: "We are mutually successful. If I help you, you can help me in the future. I feel tired for you after thanking you all day long."
