A five-inch white porcelain rice bowl was served with a bowl full of beef. The beef should be beef ribs, fat, thin and ribbed, soaked in red sauce.
Just such a small bowl of beef costs only two yuan and a half a bowl. Nowadays, prices are so high, but it is not reflected in the food so obviously.
In later generations, this Chai's beef would still be sold for 28 yuan a bowl, but the portion was nearly half less than it is today. The price has increased tenfold, and there is no room for reasoning.
Mancheng looked at the small bowl of beef in front of him and swallowed involuntarily, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
Xiao Hua'er smiled unkindly, but Yao Yuan was not surprised.
Faced with such a bowl of fragrant beef, few people can resist this overbearing temptation.
There is one bowl of beef per person, which is also paired with a bowl of hand-made noodles in beef old soup, and a bowl of freshly fried crispy chili oil for takeout.
Yao Yuan picked up his chopsticks, said hello and started eating, then put the small bowl of beef on the dough and began to eat hard.
Xie Laozhaoer and Mancheng were not polite. They followed suit. They picked up the noodle bowl with a small bowl of beef, placed it on their face and started to eat it. As the noodles entered their mouths, they even let out a sigh. The sound of snoring.
Don't make fun of anyone else. Everyone who squats on the roadside to eat noodles has a certain virtue. They are all the same as the reincarnation of a starving ghost. The main thing is that the noodles must be eaten this way to be able to eat them happily. Eat them out Unique taste.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Xiao Hua'er's classmate first uses chopsticks to slowly put the beef in the bowl dipped in chili oil into his mouth, and then pours the remaining beef soup into the noodle bowl. Pour and start working on the noodles.
"When we make money, I have to have a good meal of beef. Just a small bowl of beef and no noodles. Just a small bowl of beef like this. I can eat eight bowls with my mouth!" Xie Laozhao ate The fastest. After eating a big bowl of noodles, he seemed to feel that he was still unsatisfied. According to his opinion, beef should be eaten to the fullest. Noodles are a waste of space at best.
"You can knock me down. I'll give you eight bowls. How much beef will I get? I won't kill you!" Yao Yuan habitually started to push the bar.
Mancheng seemed to be enjoying his meal: "I can eat at least ten bowls. This beef is so fragrant. It tastes better than the ones made in our old beef shop over there. But the noodles are a bit boring and not strong enough."
Yao Yuan quickly asked: "Yes, the noodles over there are delicious, can you make them?"
Mancheng drank the soup base in the bowl in one breath and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand: "I'm making ramen. My skills are not good enough and my speed is not fast enough, but hand-rolled noodles are fine."
Little Hua'er was happy: "Oh, that's good. I didn't know that Brother Tudou can make ramen. Can he cook one for us at home one day?"
Mancheng smiled honestly: "No problem! I'll do it for you tomorrow!"
…
Yao Xiaohuaer is a quick talker and has already used the period just now to tell Mancheng everything about what Yao Yuan and the others have done recently.
Mancheng was already embarrassed as a guest who came to the house rashly. Hearing that Yao Yuan and the others had to make stew every afternoon and run a stall in the evening, they naturally wanted to help out a little bit.
More importantly, Xiao Hua'er's words gave him a slightly different understanding of the income level in the city. Selling snacks at the night market, could he earn a hundred yuan a night? !
This was far beyond his original imagination and knowledge.
In comparison, the job of raising pigs in a state unit suddenly seemed less attractive. Not to mention it was dirty and tiring, and I was looked down upon wherever I went. In the final analysis, this job had no future.
"How's it going? Is this job easy?" Yao Yuan asked Mancheng after explaining the process of making braised pork in detail.
With Mancheng's limited kitchen work experience, it was quite easy to understand every step, but I was still a little confused about some details: "Why do those spices need to be stir-fried? Can't they just be put into the soup and stewed?" ?”
"Rinse it first to remove the floating dust, then stir-fry it with oil. The aroma will come out more easily. Although we are making street food, if we pay attention to the details, we can improve the quality of the dish. It is not troublesome to stir-fry it. However, the aroma of the finished product is quite different from that of stewing it directly in the pot. Of course, I have actually simplified some procedures. For example, it is best to use large bone broth as the base soup, which improves the taste. , but our costs will also increase a lot, so I simply simplified it. After all, we have to ensure a certain profit rate, and we have to make money, right?" Yao Yuan explained patiently.
Mancheng's men are very neat, and it can be seen that he, a half-baked cook, already has a certain foundation.
After all, he had been trained in the army canteen for two days. The army required him to work cleanly and crisply. Mancheng had already shown some signs of this. It could be seen that he had done a lot of basic work, such as cleaning and cleaning. He was here, and the hundreds of kilograms of water, which was more than twice as much as usual, was cleaned and drained in just over an hour, and he went directly to the production process.
The little fat man was in charge, and all over the city were in charge, with Yao Yuan as the supervisor, Xie Laozhao'er starting to bake sesame cakes on the side, and Yao Xiaohua'er eating popsicles on the side. This division of labor is quite perfect.
"Is there anyone at home?" Someone knocked on the door of the courtyard, and the voice had a slight accent from a remote county.
Yao Yuan ran to open the door and muttered: "It came pretty fast."
A middle-aged man wearing a black leather bellyband unloaded a woven bag with blood and stains from a tricycle, threw it on his shoulder with great effort, and walked through the door carrying it.
Yao Yuan placed the large pots he had just purchased on the ground: "Come on, pour them over here and take a look at the goods first."
With a clatter, the bottom of the woven bag turned upside down, and a large pile of pig's trotters, pig's knuckles, pig's belly, pig's ears, pig's tongue, and pig's tail fell into the big basin. All the parts of a pig were almost here. .
Unfortunately, there is nothing serious except pork knuckle.
The head, the hooves, and the water are the least valuable parts of a pig's body.
According to Yao Yuan, Qianjiakou Night Market can sell more than 300 bowls of braised pork every night. Even if it is overwhelming, the market capacity is limited, but the Xie family's current situation requires them to make money as soon as possible and make a lot of money.
In this case, if you just point to buying braised pork and walk on one leg, the speed will be a bit slow. I can't say that you can guarantee the completion of that arduous task. You must forge ahead and come up with new products.
He runs every morning and passes by the morning market at the entrance of Zizhu Park. He has discovered that the morning market is also very crowded. The people who visit the morning market are all housewives or housewives who are responsible for household purchases. They have stronger spending power. If they can We also set up a stall at the morning market, so sales will probably be good.
As for the products, Yao Yuan immediately thought of those pig scraps inspired by the idea of stewing and burning.
These head-and-hooves and the like are super cheap to buy, but if they are processed and marinated, they will become the best ingredients for drinking.
In this day and age, there are very few people selling ready-made food on the streets. Only some state-owned time-honored restaurants occasionally sell them, or in the large canteens of the units, the chefs will make some braised pork for sale every week as an internal benefit for employees. The quality is also poor. Uneven.
Again, today's people are short of oil and water in their stomachs and not rich in money in their pockets. In this case, if these frivolous things can be done well, they will become the most popular meat, satisfying their cravings and being cheap.
Anyway, one sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being herded. If you cook a pot of braised meat while cooking, soak it overnight for flavor, and then sell it at the morning market, it is another way to make money quickly. .
The workload in the kitchen will not increase much, and there are no technical requirements for selling. In terms of time, it complements the braised soup. Even the making of stewed soup has complementary aspects, so after discussing it with Xie Laozhaoer, After that, Yao Yuan decided to give it a try.
The middle-aged man who delivered the goods today was introduced by the merchant who was responsible for delivering goods to Aunt An's grocery store. Now the purchase channel has been opened. In the future, even the prices of large intestines, lungs, etc. that were used before will be reduced. It can also be reduced by 10%.
What's even more perfect is that with the relationship introduced by Aunt An, future purchases can be settled monthly. Each purchase only needs to be recorded, and the accounts can be settled once at the end of each month.
Monthly settlement of purchases in the catering industry is actually a common practice nowadays, but he didn’t expect that his small stewed stew stall could also enjoy this benefit. With the funds freed up for purchases, Yao Yuan could use his limited money to purchase some Basic equipment such as stoves and pots.
Of course, the profit margin of selling cooked food is definitely higher than that of selling braised food. Yao Yuan’s profit margin of braised food is now controlled at about 70%. This is the best profit margin pursued by a good catering company, but in the morning market If you sell goods online, it is estimated that customers will be more sensitive to price. If you can achieve a profit margin of 40%, it is considered a great success.
It was under the pressure of pursuing profit margins that Yao Yuan licked his face and asked Aunt An to introduce the purchaser of their non-staple food store.
Four pounds of pig ears
Pork knuckle 11.5 pounds
Five pounds and four ounces of pork belly...
The middle-aged man who delivered the goods was named Chu. After he weighed the goods delivered today one by one, he used a ballpoint pen to record them crookedly on a grease-stained twist notebook. After Yao Yuan checked carefully, he signed his name below, And mark the date.
"Call this phone before eleven o'clock every night and report the goods you need the next day. I will deliver them to you around ten o'clock the next day." Master Chu warned.
Yao Yuan quickly returned: "No, don't deliver it at ten o'clock, just deliver it after twelve o'clock."
Yao Yuan didn't want to spend all his time on these things from now on. He had to at least have a quiet morning to read and sleep in.
Well, Yao Yuan can't sleep in at all now. He wakes up before dawn every day. Once he wakes up, he can't sleep again. But even if he doesn't sleep in, it's good to be at home for a while.
Yao Xiaohua'er looked at the two large basins full of hairy and bloody pig parts, with disgust on her face: "Brother! What kind of trouble are you planning to make?!"
