Chapter 284: Candidates for the Twelve Golden Saints

Chen Jianhai: "I think it's possible. [Sunglasses]"

Xu Bo's face turned serious,

"Damn, be serious, we're discussing important matters!"

"I agree, let's do it as you said," Chen Jianhai quickly responded.

To be honest,

In terms of leadership, Xu Bo truly appeared more imposing than himself.

When he put on a stern face, it actually looked quite convincing.

Xu Bo then relaxed his expression, pondered for a moment, and said,

"You just mentioned intelligent robots... do you think we need to get a self-service ordering robot for this beer festival?"

"No need!"

Before he could finish, Chen Jianhai and Xiao Lang both spoke up simultaneously, startling Xu Bo.

"We have talent in our hotel for ordering, no need for robots."

Chen Jianhai said sincerely.

The island's restaurant boasted the strongest order-taker in history.

With this person around, any robot would be rendered useless!

"Brother Hai, what does your association's tent look like? Can you take me to see it?"

Xiao Lang asked curiously.

Even though the fourteen tents had different themes, in the end, they were all quite similar, just like a big night market.

But the tent of a five-star hotel is different!

It sounds fancy, making people eager to see it.

"Don't mention it," Chen Jianhai said dejectedly. "The hotel's tent is a mess, not as good as this one."

...

Twenty minutes later,

When Chen Jianhai led Xu Bo and Xiao Lang to the themed tent,

His eyes nearly popped out.

The tent, which was messy with screws all over the place in the afternoon, was now neatly rearranged.

The entire tent was roughly divided into 43 sections,

Each hotel occupied an area.

Some hotels had even hired specialized workers for decoration, with renovation boards outside, and clanging sounds coming from inside.

Obviously, they were planning to present a good exhibition.

"Our hotel's area is here."

Chen Jianhai pointed to a central area and said to Xu Bo.

"I don't understand much about the kitchen setup, so tell me how you want to arrange it, and I'll get it done."

This themed tent was essentially Xu Bo's main stage.

As the head chef, he was the key figure who understood the hotel's kitchen operations the best,

How to place things, what kind of cooking stations were needed, and how many people should work,

No one knew these better than Xu Bo.

Xu Bo walked closer, examined carefully, pondered for a while, and pointed to a large area at the back,

"That area can serve as a transparent storage for ingredients, with an employee passage between the storage and the kitchen, prep stations on the left, cooking area here, and this spot for dish delivery..."

"Not bad, this place is bigger than I imagined."

"If we use it well, we can fit quite a lot of things."

"But,"

"What about refrigerators, freezers, cooking stations, and those large machines?"

Xu Bo looked troubled.

The hotel had a wide variety of dishes and needed many machines, but it wasn't practical to move them all.

"Don't worry about that."

Chen Jianhai said casually, "You just arrange the kitchen in the most convenient and comfortable way, I'll handle the rest of the issues."

"Damn, you're really..."

Xu Bo swallowed the last word.

If it were someone else, Xu Bo and Xiao Lang would definitely call them out for bragging,

But when Chen Jianhai said it, who dared to argue!

This was the guy who easily built two hotels within half a year,

Many times, Xu Bo even suspected Chen Jianhai secretly owned a construction and renovation company,

"Alright then..."

With Chen Jianhai's assurance, Xu Bo didn't hold back, and directly said:

"Place a four-tier cooking station here, a dough table there, the stewing and frying stations over there..."

"It's not practical to move the ovens from the pastry room, but setting up a small dessert making station is more than enough."

...

Xu Bo continued listing things, and Chen Jianhai listened attentively.

In front of him, the system panel was already open, and he started purchasing the necessary items according to Xu Bo's requirements.

Xu Bo considered everything thoroughly.

Besides the space and equipment needed for dough making, frying, steak, desserts, etc., he also accounted for the detailed presentation of sashimi and plating,

And he arranged the sashimi and plating stations in eye-catching positions,

Allowing customers to watch the artistic process of dish and painting creation up close.

"Once these are set up, it should be about right,"

Xu Bo reviewed the space in his mind,

And suddenly said,

"There's one more important thing."

"When the beer festival starts, many people will come to the tent, so maintaining a hygienic environment in the kitchen and dining area is crucial."

"It's best to surround the kitchen area with transparent panels."

"This way, the kitchen work remains in a controlled, private, hygienic environment without affecting customers' view."

"Otherwise, with people coming and going,"

"If there's even one customer who cares about cleanliness, they definitely won't sit down to eat."

Chen Jianhai replied, "Alright! I'll handle the specific arrangements."

"Okay."

Xu Bo nodded, then turned and looked at the long wooden dining tables and benches in the dining area,

"Are you planning to use these tables?"

Chen Jianhai decisively said, "Of course not."

"But these benches look pretty good, I'll see if I can use them to better arrange the dining area."

The dining environment directly impacts the dining experience.

A good restaurant atmosphere can attract customers, making them feel comfortable and leaving a lasting impression.

These long benches might work for BBQ,

But for a proper dining table,

Xu Bo and his team would probably flip the table rather than serve a dish and lose face.

"By the way, have you decided who you're bringing to the beer festival?"

"Yes," Xu Bo replied.

"Me, the baker, the fryer, the stewer, the cutter, the sashimi chef, the steak chef, the plating artist, the prep worker... nine of us plus two efficient kitchen staff, and the best order-taker in history,"

"These twelve people should be enough."

The selection was excellent.

Chen Jianhai nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Bo mentioned the strongest members of the kitchen,

With these twelve Golden Saints,

This expedition's performance should be quite remarkable.

"Great! Let's do it as you said."

The twelve Golden Saints in the group were all set.

Really... just missing Athena.
