"As a purchaser, do you know how much difference there is between the local price of vegetables, the wholesale price and then the retail price? What about pork? What about chicken?" Dang Jianguo's series of questions made the whole city completely dumbfounded, but Yao Yuan asked Yao Yuan to look at it. Zi almost laughed out loud.
Good guy, this is a typical case of buying now and selling now. Before the words he just said fell to the ground, he was caught by the party boss and dumped all over the city.
"Tell me, how much pork do we purchase every day?" Brother Party asked reluctantly.
"There are always seven hundred or eight hundred catties." Mancheng became cautious.
"Let me tell you, the daily purchase volume of all the meat combined has already exceeded one thousand kilograms!" Brother Dang was very dissatisfied with his answer and began to point with his fingers: "You are an incompetent purchaser! We With such a large amount of goods, you just wait for them to be delivered to your door. Have you ever thought about going out to find the source of goods? Fortunately, you have worked in the kitchen and raised pigs. Do you know that the quality of feed pigs and domestic pork is better? There is a difference. The taste of free-range chicken is different from that of chicken from a chicken farm? How can we just use whatever the butcher gives us?"
The question was obviously about the quantity of pork purchased, and the quantity of white-striped chickens must be added to make it one thousand kilograms. Mancheng was a little unconvinced, but he still dared not refute.
Because they are right, the kitchen has the right to make purchase requirements, which is clearly written in the work regulations, not to mention that the party eldest brother is now the manager, and he deserves to be used as a punching bag for not doing his job well.
But Brother Dang's outburst made Yao Yuan feel like there was a flash of inspiration in his mind. A problem that he had ignored before suddenly became clear. He can also work more on the source of ingredients in the future. This aspect is vast. Heaven and earth, great things can be done!
"Not only are the taste and meat quality different, but the yield is also different!" Gao Yang watched the excitement without taking it too seriously and added fuel to the fire.
The whole city was completely confused, no, what on earth are you going to say?
Yao Yuan smiled: "Mancheng, you listen to the big brother of the party. In the future, procurement channels must be expanded. This is a small problem that is easy to solve. Since the butcher is old and ignorant, we will change it. Our current production scale It is not suitable to look for these second-rate dealers to purchase goods. You can first purchase emergency supplies from non-staple food stores, but then you have to visit meat factories, slaughterhouses, and even drive to the countryside to help our company build a stable business. supply channels.”
Only then did Mancheng let out a sigh of relief: "Old squad leader, you are too hasty. I didn't mean to say that I will run outside more every day to look for new sources of goods."
Yao Yuan then added: "You have to pay attention to a few issues when looking for sources of goods: There are already many imported pigs on the market, such as Ukrainian large white pigs. This kind of pigs grow meat quickly and have a high lean meat rate. Farmers and pig farms I like them all, but we must have channels to purchase local pigs, such as black pigs and native pigs. We will all use these varieties in the future. For chickens, in addition to the feed chickens in the chicken farms, we must also have reed chickens. , local butter chicken purchasing channels, we will also be able to use these in the future."
After saying that, Yao Yuan sighed quietly in his heart. After all, his strength is too weak now. Otherwise, he should quickly establish his own breeding base while these local varieties can still be found, so as to prevent some good ingredients from being replaced by imported varieties in the future, or even later It's extinct.
This is not to say that imported varieties are not good, just take broiler chickens as an example. Someone has now taken the lead in establishing a breeding base for new breeds of broiler chickens in China. This breed comes from Monsanto Company in the United States. Broiler chickens have a high feed conversion rate and grow meat very quickly. It will be ready for sale in a month. Because it is raised on a large scale, the price is very advantageous. The chicken is tender and juicy, suitable for stir-frying and deep-frying. It is perfect for use in fast food restaurants like KFC.
But it just lacks some of the flavor that Chinese chefs pursue.
Since imported varieties are cheap and easy to raise, many good local broiler chickens have gradually been squeezed out of the market, and no one is breeding them anymore.
So many years later, it is not that easy to make a good pot of yellow and bright chicken soup in the kitchen. You have to search everywhere for real free-range chickens that have been grown for more than a year and a half. Even if you can find them, Supply also tends to be unstable.
There has always been a saying among ordinary people that "no feast can be complete without chicken." Chicken has always been considered a high-end ingredient in Chinese food. Only during holidays or when distinguished guests come to the house, ordinary people are willing to go to the market to kill a chicken.
It is because of the popularity of these imported broilers that the price of chicken has gradually dropped, making it a meat that ordinary people can easily eat, and it has even become the cheapest ingredient to supplement animal protein.
This is definitely a good thing for ordinary people.
But as a chef, I always feel something is awkward.
A good chef definitely likes good ingredients. This kind of big broiler chicken that has been put on the market for three months has not even grown hard in the bones. How can it taste like this?
If imported varieties are not so popular at this time, we can have the strength to establish our own production base and retain the precious varieties such as Heishan pig, Jinhua pig, Northeastern pig, Luhua chicken, butter chicken, and Sanhei chicken. How beautiful that would be.
Yao Yuan was thinking about good things here, but Mancheng proposed his new plan: "Master Yao, can you drive your car for me? I want to travel more in the surrounding counties and talk to the farmers in the village." Let’s talk to Huduo and see if we can purchase directly from them in the future so that we won’t be bothered by those meat dealers anymore.”
Yao Yuan didn't even think about it: "Okay, I'll give you the car. I won't drive it anyway. I just need to take care of it when I drive it."
Gao Yang quit: "Mancheng, do you just want to find an excuse to play with cars? You can go to the countryside to collect pigs, but you will definitely not be able to pass the health and epidemic prevention, right?"
Private slaughter has been banned in cities for a long time. Although no one in rural areas takes this rule seriously now, the pork purchased is missing a seal and cannot be used as a formal catering establishment.
But Mancheng was confident: "Don't forget what I did before. I came from a military pig farm. I am familiar with this set of procedures. There is no formal slaughterhouse in any township or county now." What? As long as we contact the farmers and negotiate with the slaughterhouse, it will be a one-stop purchasing channel. Don’t think that I don’t have any purchasing skills.”
Brother Dang also laughed: "Mancheng, we don't know if you have any other abilities, but your driving ability is really not that good! Let's do this. If you want to go to the countryside for a run, just take Gao Yang with you. Don't be stupid. After buying it, first break down our little boss’s precious car!”
…
I have never seen a high school senior as handsome as Yao Yuan.
Since the results came out, Yao Yuan felt at ease and knew that his review method would definitely work.
My father and mother are both high school students, and they both hope that they can go to a decent university, but I also have regrets in this regard. Now it seems that my university dream is stable.
It's snowing in Pingcheng in December, and it's snowing very heavily.
There is a saying: Once it snows in Pingcheng, it will transform into Peiping during the Republic of China.
This sentence makes sense. There are not so many high-rise buildings, and the bungalows and alleys covered by heavy snow have all turned into ink black and white, which looks full of charm.
The warm lights and yellow guise of the red flag braised meat shop with its blue bricks, red tiles and high eaves make it even more eye-catching and beautiful in the heavy snow.
After the crackling sound of firecrackers, Yao Yuan, who once again absented himself from school with peace of mind, walked around his third store with his hands and firecracker skins in his hands. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
The newly opened Braised Pork Shop is located under the Baita Temple in the old city. It is a transportation hub on the edge of the Second Ring Road. The terminus of several buses is located here. Next to the station is the city's Line 2 subway, which is seamlessly connected.
Looking at the flow of people on the street and the dense residential alleys around it, any fool can tell that this is another Feng Shui treasure land for doing business.
The benefits of having a good relationship with the street are endless!
If you want to find a place to rent a store, just tell Aunt Wei.
Aunt Wei always provided several good positions for Dang Jianguo to choose with just a phone call.
Of course, Dang Jianguo is now even more proficient. He will prepare a copy of any newly developed pork elbow, pork belly, or lion head and send it to Aunt Wei and many related customers, and invite them to try it in the name of it.
Just like this, the relationship between everyone became more and more familiar and closer.
Dang Jianguo even received news that Gold Street and Silver Street in the city center would be completely renovated, and all the front houses on the two streets would be renovated and rented out.
When all the people watching the excitement at the door dispersed and the store eldest sister and her two clerks started busy, Dang Jianguo pulled Yao Yuan aside and quietly told him the important news.
Gold Street, Silver Street! That's incredible. It's in the city center, on the east and west sides of the square. It's no exaggeration to say it's the center of the country. If your braised pork shop can open there, it will face the whole country. tourists!
Once this reputation is known, will Hongqi be able to pay it back? !
As the general manager of Hongqi Company, how good is Dang Jianguo? !
Unexpectedly, the little boss, who has always had a keen sense of smell, just snorted from his nostrils and didn't catch a cold at all: "Dongdan, Xidan, it's a place where every inch of land is precious. Why do we, a meat seller, squeeze in with others? We, Hongqi Lu, The target customers of the butcher shop are ordinary people living in residential buildings. We should never forget this. This is called not forgetting the original intention. Do you understand? As long as we do not forget the original intention, our braised meat shop will always have a prosperous business!"
Well, Dang Jianguo could only listen to this reason. Although Yao Yuan said something quite similar, why was it so annoying when it came out of this young man's mouth?
Yao Yuan waved his hand and pointed to the west end of the road: "Brother Dang, you'd better come with me later. I'll show you a better place!"
