Chapter 185 The Problem Affecting the CD Rate
Zhao Xiaojing nervously brought a plate of stir-fried pork with peppers, which had a rich aroma of peppers and meat, to her tutor who was standing nearby.
The instructor watched the entire process, first looking at the production process, then looking at the finished product, and finally tasting it. Only when the instructor nodded could Zhao Xiaojing pass.
Just like many previous failures, the learning instructor had a stern face as always. He looked at the fried pork with peppers seriously for a few seconds before picking up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pepper and a piece of meat, and put them into his mouth to taste.
Although the teacher of the learning module was also virtual, Zhao Xiaojing was still very nervous because of the iron rule that students are afraid of their teachers. She quietly raised her eyes and paid attention to the tutor's expression.
The instructor put down his chopsticks after taking two bites. Zhao Xiaojing's heart skipped a beat and she immediately began to reflect on the process of cooking.
"Not bad, you just passed. You need to practice more in the future, and don't aim too high but lack the skills." The instructor's voice was still serious, and finally there was a smile on his face. After educating Zhao Xiaojing, he disappeared on the spot.
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned, then stood there and nodded vigorously. As soon as the instructor disappeared, she couldn't wait to run to the freshly cooked fried pork with peppers.

[After system evaluation, the current cook level is 20 (beginner, a novice with minor accomplishments, the maximum level is 100). This upgrade will earn you 1000 system coins and 8000 cash! ]
The system upgrade reminder sounded at the right time. Zhao Xiaojing was only happy for two seconds because she had upgraded two levels this time. She then turned her attention back to the fried pork with peppers in front of her and picked up another pair of chopsticks to taste it.
After all, upgrading is very common, but the fire lessons took a lot of practice and I finally passed them. I must try my best to complete the graduation project.
Well, it has a bright red color and a strong pungent smell of chili, but it does not affect its fragrance. The two flavors blend well after you take a bite. The dry-fried chili is full of aroma and is just the right softness. The fat from the fried meat is absorbed. The meat is not greasy or dry, with a slightly burnt aroma, and the taste of chili has given it a rich sense of layering.
Zhao Xiaojing tasted a few mouthfuls of meat and nodded with satisfaction, silently regretting that she didn't have a bowl of steamed rice. If she had another bowl of rice, a piece of meat with both fat and lean meat, a few pieces of chili peppers, and a mouthful of rice, she would be in heaven!
Although everything in the virtual space was not real, Zhao Xiaojing still finished the whole dish bite by bite.
After all, the feeling is too real. It is so hard to make it successful, and it would be disrespectful to your own efforts to put it aside and waste it.
After finishing her meal, Zhao Xiaojing remembered the system reward. She glanced at the data in the upper right corner and saw that it had changed to [Level 20 System Gold Coins 2560 Experience]
System coins have always been obtained through tasks, which is not surprising to Zhao Xiaojing, but she was quite surprised after not looking at the experience points for such a long time.
These more than 20,000 experience points were basically accumulated through Xiaozhi’s revenue rewards after opening the store. I didn’t expect that there were already so many.
Zhao Xiaojing looked through Xiaozhi's statistics on revenue rewards and found that she could earn about 450 to 600 experience points every day. The main source of income was from customers' empty-plate eating behavior. Each person was rewarded with 1 experience point for each empty plate sold, which was in stark contrast to the practice of only rewarding 10 experience point for selling 1 meals.
However, looking at Xiaozhi's statistical trends, the CD rate has declined in recent times, and it's getting lower and lower?
Zhao Xiaojing supported her chin and thought hard. This shouldn't be the case. She had been practicing her cooking skills hard during this period, and her cooking skills had been improving. Many customers with good tastes had also tasted the flavor, and the business of the store was getting better and better.
In order to serve the guests who ordered more rice, she also made some pickled vegetables. These pickled vegetables were also very popular. Many guests ordered more rice just to eat them.
Hmm? More rice for pickles?
Zhao Xiaojing slapped her forehead and found the crux of the problem.
I didn’t expect that good intentions would lead to bad consequences!
She remembered that after pickled vegetables were first made in the past period of time, the store offered them for free. Basically, every customer who came would add a little to try. After tasting it, they all thought it was delicious and said it was flavorful enough. More people came to order more rice than before.
Some customers said that eating pickled vegetables with the original rice would affect the original taste of the rice, but if the second bowl of rice was eaten with pickled vegetables alone and soaked in a little soup, it would be extremely fragrant and a perfect accompaniment to white rice.
Originally, Zhao Xiaojing made the pickled vegetables because she was afraid that the guests who came to order more rice would have nothing to eat. There was nothing wrong with having more rice, but some guests didn’t eat much to begin with, and they ordered more rice just to try the pickled vegetables mixed with rice. Therefore, they only took a few bites to taste the flavor, and the rice was left over, resulting in food waste, and the experience points for the "Clean Plate" campaign were not earned.
Zhao Xiaojing suddenly understood why some restaurants had delicious main meals, but the free pickled vegetables tasted tasteless and were not of the same standard at all.
If the food tastes bad, only the pickles are wasted. If the food tastes good, only the pickles and rice are wasted! Not only does it increase the cost, but the white rice poured into the swill bucket every day is a visual shock to anyone who sees it.
Zhao Xiaojing sat there with her chin propped up, thinking.
Pickles cannot be eliminated. First, there are indeed many guests with big appetites who need more rice. Pickles don’t cost much, but they can make them full and satisfied at the same time.
Secondly, if the service is not provided, it will be fine. But if it is already provided and then suddenly withdrawn, it will only cause dissatisfaction among customers. Customers will not think that this is a free service provided by the store, nor will they think that it is a waste. Instead, they will think that the owner is stingy and is reluctant to provide such cheap pickles. They will think that the store is getting more and more arrogant, and that they have spent money but are enjoying less and less service.
But how can we avoid wasting rice while still maintaining the pickled vegetables and encourage customers to finish their meals?
In the past, the school and the construction site canteen put up signs to remind people that food is hard to come by, but it didn't work very well. What worked was the rule of the cafeteria that collected a deposit in advance and deducted the deposit if too much food was wasted, but that was a buffet, and I couldn't set such a rule in a small restaurant that sells by portion.
So what about charging for extra rice? No, for the same reason as the free pickled vegetables service cannot be cancelled.
Unable to think of any good solution for the time being, Zhao Xiaojing had to put the problem aside and jump to the system page to the skill mall.
Zhao Xiaojing has currently mastered the three most important skills in the cooking class in the skill mall: knife skills, fire skills, and seasoning. The rest are some small classes.
Zhao Xiaojing looked for a while and then bought courses on starching, pasting and carving.
These two courses are relatively cheap. When Zhao Xiaojing was learning the fried skewers recipe before, she had learned a lot about the battering techniques and had already practiced some of them. Therefore, this time the course was discounted and she only spent 1000 system coins to buy it.
