Elder Sun's disciple's surname was Gao. His name was Gao Changhe. When Elder Sun called him, he immediately agreed.
Gao Changhe recently had the idea of opening a new shop. It was too tight for a shop and a family to make a living. However, he had just bought a wedding house for his eldest son and was still in debt. He couldn't open it even if he wanted to. Besides, if he opened a new shop, his two sons wouldn't be willing to go. They both wanted the old shop. He couldn't open two new shops at once.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Elder Sun called him, which solved his problem.
He handed the old shop to his wife and went out to work. This was equivalent to an additional income. His two sons didn't have to compete for the old shop. They would work together first. After they got married, they would think of a way to open a new shop each.
The most troublesome problem of the chef was solved so easily. Gu Zheng immediately relaxed a lot.
Elder Sun's disciple's culinary skills were definitely not bad. What Gu Zheng needed was the culinary skills of the chicken blood soup. Other than the chicken blood soup, there was nothing else in his shop. It was fine as long as the chicken blood soup could be made well.
Besides, Elder Sun's disciple had followed Elder Sun for twenty years. In the past, he had used that pot of old soup and was familiar with the old soup. Such a person was the most suitable.
There couldn't be only one person in the kitchen. However, with a chef, it was much easier to find other helpers and apprentices. Gu Zheng could find these with his own connections. He was a food critic and had come into contact with many chefs.
After making a few calls and asking some people, Gu Zheng quickly settled three more helpers. The matter in the kitchen was resolved.
One chef, three helpers, four chefs were enough. The manager, foreman, and waiters were all found by Changfeng. He was free.
The next day, Chang Le signed a transfer agreement with the shareholders of the duck blood and vermicelli soup. The money was paid by Gu Zheng and Changfeng. However, the two of them didn't know that after they signed the agreement, Chang Le found someone to buy this shop at a high price.
Chang Le also wanted a guarantee to buy the whole shop.
In case the contract expired in the future and the other party did not renew the lease. Chang Le had the money, and buying a shop was not a loss. It could be considered an investment. No matter how one looked at it, it was very cost-effective.
On the third day, Gao Changhe arrived at Shen City. He was very curious about Gu Zheng. He knew about Gu Zheng's achievements. He also knew that the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng was very delicious, even better than the one made by his master.
He wasn't unconvinced by this, he was just curious.
The people in the duck blood vermicelli shop had left yesterday, so it was free today. Changfeng actually brought a whole team with him, from the store manager to the waiters. They didn't even need to be trained and could work directly.
These people originally worked in a restaurant. Changfeng knew the owner of the restaurant and specially wanted to ask him for help. The friend knew that he was in a hurry, so without saying anything, he directly sent all the waiters in his restaurant over.
This restaurant was just a small business of his. It was a good deal to have such an opportunity to deepen his relationship with Childe Changfeng.
From the store manager to the waiters, all of them were there. Changfeng also gave them a salary increase, including food and accommodation. These people were not dissatisfied and came to work in the new restaurant happily.
The scale of the new restaurant was larger than their original restaurant, but there were very few private rooms, only two. The original duck blood vermicelli soup did not need private rooms, and the two private rooms were prepared for important guests.
After Gao Changhe arrived at Shen City, Gu Zheng and Changfeng went to the train station to pick him up. He was a future chef, worthy of attention.
Gao Changhe was only in his forties, but he looked at least in his fifties. Half of his hair was white, and he was dressed very plainly. He was 1.7 meters tall, and his dressing was very similar to that of a migrant worker. People who didn't know him would really think that he was a migrant worker.
Gu Zheng never looked down on migrant workers, but because of the working environment, most of the migrant workers' clothes were not very good. Gao Changhe was like this now.
After picking him up, the three of them went to the new restaurant together. Outside the restaurant, someone was removing the signboard, and the whole team brought by Changfeng was cleaning up inside.
In fact, there was nothing to clean up. They just had to remove all the imprints with the previous names and change some decorations on the walls. They were only responsible for cleaning up, and the people from the renovation company would do it.
Looking at the huge new restaurant, Gao Changhe was also very shocked.
He knew that the young man Gu Zheng was very good at cooking, but he didn't expect that the new restaurant would be so big. Adding the upstairs and downstairs together, it was even bigger than the old restaurant of the Sun family.
Gu Zheng also knew the area of the restaurant yesterday. The downstairs was 420 square meters, and the upstairs was 300 square meters. A restaurant of more than 700 square meters was really not small.
"Master Gao, you will be the head chef from now on, and there will be three helpers coming tomorrow. As for me, I may only be here for three months. After three months, I will hand over the management of this restaurant to you. Is that okay?"
Gu Zheng took Gao Changhe to visit the kitchen. In fact, there wasn't much to visit. The kitchen was done very well before, and he just needed to find a place to put the stewed soup.
"Yes, yes, no problem. But this place is so big, I'm afraid that I can't be the head chef!"
Gao Changhe hurriedly waved his hand, looking a little scared. He thought that Gu Zheng only asked him to help, but he didn't expect that he would be the head chef.
Even Old Sun didn't know about this.
"You are Old Sun's disciple. If you can't do it, who else can? Don't worry, our restaurant is different from other restaurants. We only make chicken blood soup. Unless you have no confidence in chicken blood soup, you will be the head chef!"
Of course, Gao Changhe had confidence in chicken blood soup. After all, he had been cooking for a lifetime. If he didn't have confidence in chicken blood soup, why would he come here?
When he heard that Gu Zheng only wanted him to make chicken blood soup, he was surprised and touched. The boss only asked him to make one thing, not because he didn't trust him, but because he trusted him. Chicken blood soup was the staple food in the restaurant, the most important food.
"Boss, in addition to chicken blood soup, I can also make some cold dishes. I can't make braised dishes. I'm not good at it. You can find a good braised food chef!"
Gao Changhe said honestly. Although the boss said so, he couldn't really do it.
Gu Zheng laughed and shook his head directly, "Master Gao, you don't understand what I mean. I just said that we only make chicken blood soup, and we only sell chicken blood soup. There are no cold dishes, no braised dishes, nothing, only chicken blood soup!"
"Only chicken blood soup!"
Gao Changhe's eyes widened. This store only sold soup and nothing else. How could there be a chicken blood soup store like this? Whether it was his store or the Sun Family's old store, there were all kinds of side dishes, cold dishes, and braised dishes. The profit of selling these things wasn't low.
Just like his store, chicken blood soup was cheap and the Lin Run was the thinnest. On the contrary, these side dishes were very profitable. The gross profit was sixty to seventy percent. These side dishes accounted for at least half of the net profit every month.
"Yes, only chicken blood soup, so you don't need anything else. Except for chicken blood soup, nothing else is for sale!"
Gu Zheng nodded with a smile. He didn't want to make much money. As long as he completed the test mission, it would be enough to sell five thousand servings of chicken blood soup every day.
Besides, Gu Zheng now had very strict requirements for food. Selling food made with low-grade and garbage ingredients would only affect the taste of chicken blood soup, unless they were second-grade ingredients. However, second-grade ingredients weren't so easy to find, so in order to strive for the best, he didn't sell anything else.
Of course, there was another important reason. He and Changfeng were very lazy and didn't want to make it so troublesome.
