The catering industry is a big industry, related to people's livelihood, and it also has a long industrial chain.
From the planting and breeding industry in the fields to the production, processing and sales, a large amount of manpower and material resources have been gathered, and each link creates its own value. But it would be narrow-minded to think that catering-related industries are limited to this.
The training of employees, the production of kitchen utensils and equipment, the transportation of ingredients and utensils, advertising, and even the real estate industry, these industries are all links in the chain of the catering industry and can be said to be indispensable.
Yao Yuan is a cook. If he wants to work and make money, he must find a few key points in the chain of the catering industry and occupy the market first. His choice is to focus on the kitchen and work hard to penetrate upstream. After mastering the source of his own ingredients, can take advantage of future competition.
Lao Ma has always said that he is like a dog who chews off more than he can chew, a cook who always cares about farming and raising pigs.
This is actually a joke. The biggest reason why Lao Ma fell in love with the small temple of Hongqi Company is actually because of this: Although Xiao Yao is young, he has a strong forward-looking strategic awareness. Hongqi Company looks like a braised meat shop. , but it developed into a giant catering company that occupied the entire industry chain.
Such a formal compliment has only come out of Lao Ma's mouth once, and this time it made Yao Yuan's face turn red. It's bullshit strategic meaning, and the entire industry chain. Yao Yuan's head is filled with the leftovers of other people's games. But taking it out now is a bit ahead of its time.
Moreover, this advance range is just right. If you are ten steps ahead, you will die, if you are two steps ahead, you will be a god, and if you are one step ahead, you will be a master.
What looks like a "magic move" in the eyes of Lao Ma is actually a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.
It has been more than ten years since the reform and opening up, and the people's pockets have gradually become richer. The catering industry, as the largest market, is about to usher in an era of vigorous development, and Yao Yuan was just kicked into this trend by fate. Just a pig.
In fact, everyone has been ignoring that there are many industries that are parasitic in the catering industry and are making big money quietly.
When Yao Yuan saw the rag king happily tidying up the folding table he had just received, a scene he had seen before suddenly came to mind.
There was once a restaurant that failed to manage well and closed down. The kitchen equipment that it spent a lot of money to purchase became junk and no one wanted it. The landlord had to clear out the place within a time limit. When the time came, the place could not be vacated, and even the rent deposit would not be returned. The boss finally found a company that specializes in recycling kitchen equipment and bought the complete set of equipment at the price of scrap.
At that time, the purchase price offered by the recycling company was less than 5% of the original purchase price. The boss was so angry that he almost cried. There is no such depreciation rate in the world.
But there is no way. No one wants the equipment that was good when I bought it. Only the rag collectors are looking at it. The price they give is the price of scrap metal. People are still unwilling to take the stainless steel gadgets in the kitchen.
The frustrated boss hesitated again and again, so he had no choice but to give the equipment recycling company a bargain.
I still remember that when someone came to dismantle the equipment, the boss’s crystal tears welled up in his eyes, which made everyone who saw him feel heartbroken.
In fact, this is another characteristic of the catering industry. There are many stores opened and many closed.
Chinese people love to eat and are willing to spend money on food. A large part of their monthly salary goes to fill their mouths. And once I have some spare money, I also like to invest it in the catering industry.
As everyone knows, the catering industry is in deep trouble. Without certain background experience, at most three out of ten newly opened stores can survive, and the remaining seven will face closure and transfer.
This ratio is the actual data given by the industrial and commercial administration department, which is very cruel.
After being immersed in this industry for a long time, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing. If you can't make money selling food and vegetables, some smart people start to think about second-hand equipment, and the kitchen equipment recycling industry comes into being. And born.
Just like the North American gold rush, the exhausted gold diggers might not make money, but the merchants who sold them jeans made a fortune.
The more prosperous the catering market is, the higher the turnover rate of catering stores, and the more prosperous the business of those in the recycling market. Equipment bought at a discount of up to 0.50% can be sold at a high price by simply refurbishing it.
The function of kitchen equipment is very simple. The cold storage only needs to be able to cool down, and the fan only needs to be powerful enough. As for worktables and other things, they are all of standard size. No cook will use them just because there are a few scratches on the workbench. I don't think it can be used.
And these devices can be said to never go out of style.
Therefore, as long as there are connections, connections in the catering industry, and funds and warehouses, this business can only make a profit.
Of course, with the current state of the domestic catering market, the competition has not been so fierce, and there is no room for survival of kitchen equipment recycling companies.
However, this does not mean that Yao Yuan has to accept the flaking machine that costs more than 10,000 yuan, and he has to buy those ridiculously expensive imported equipment according to the requirements of the design unit.
Grandma!
A stainless steel workbench costs 8,000 yuan. A standard banquet table for ten people in this era only costs 1,500 yuan. Eight thousand yuan means that you need to sell nearly ten banquet tables to earn back a workbench. You idiot. Only then are I willing to buy this order.
A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and after he thought he had found a solution to the problem, Yao Yuan walked faster and faster. As he walked quickly, he sorted out the whole idea again. When he got into the house, he didn't even have time to say hello to his father and mother. Pick up the phone and start calling.
"Please call and leave a message. I'll see you at the school gate tomorrow at noon."
This call sign belongs to Qi Lei. The business of Lingxi Company is developing very fast. There are hundreds of part-time editors and part-time sales people under him. For the convenience of work, Qi Lei equipped himself with a pager early. The pager is still a Motorola Han Xian.
The Chinese display bp machine is convenient. After leaving a message, you can hang up directly without waiting for the other party to call back. This way, you don’t have to worry about mom and dad being at home and it’s inconvenient to talk. After sending the message, Yao Yuan hurriedly got into the kitchen.
Yao Yuan's family is going to eat dumplings today. People in Pingcheng are very particular about what they call: Shangma dumplings and Xiama noodles.
Before a family member goes out, they must make a meal of dumplings.
Northerners are also very particular about dumpling fillings when eating dumplings, and Pingcheng people are especially particular.
Dumplings are a common thing to talk about now, but in the past, when meat was not affordable for everyone, it was the mainstay of the New Year's Eve dinner in ordinary people's homes.
As the saying goes, who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?
Every household eats dumplings, but the fillings are very different.
Pork and green onion stuffing, pork and cabbage stuffing, pork and fennel stuffing, three delicacies stuffing, and a little further north, pork and pickled cabbage stuffing is popular.
But Yao Yuan is a cook, and the fillings made by his family when eating dumplings must be unique. Besides, after finishing this meal of dumplings, my father will have to go to that remote Russia tomorrow, and my mother can’t stay any longer and has to rush back to the base. I was on duty at the hospital, and this dumpling passed through the hands of the cook, so I had to leave something to think about for the old couple.
Dumplings were first invented with mutton stuffing. At that time, the miracle doctor came up with this food to keep away the cold for the people who suffered from frostbite. The dumplings Yao Yuan made today were first stuffed with mutton.
Mutton smells bad. Mom and dad have been staying in the northwest, so they probably have eaten enough mutton, but today's mutton dumplings will probably make them happy.
Because what Yao Yuan uses to pair with mutton is cucumber.
After removing the fascia from the fresh lamb leg meat, it was thrown on the chopping board. Again, both knives were used together. There was a loud sound of horse hooves. In an instant, a pound of lamb was chopped into small pieces. The small pieces were not minced meat, just to keep the meat filling in the mouth. A hint of taste.
The cucumber as an ingredient does not need to taste, what is obtained is its refreshing taste.
Grate the cucumber into thin strips and stir it together with the mutton. Mutton is the wateriest, and cucumber has enough water. After the two are mixed, the special fragrance of cucumber in winter will be absorbed into the mutton along with the water. After the meat filling is stirred for a few times, use Season with pepper and salt, and don't add any extra.
I put the prepared meat filling under my nose and smelled it carefully. I was afraid that the taste was a bit bland, so I soaked a little peppercorn water and mixed it in. The peppercorns and mutton are a perfect match. They can add flavor and remove the mutton. I just want to stew mutton soup. Don't use it when you are using it.
Mutton naturally clumps into a ball. After a few random stirs, it will form into a ball. As soon as the dumplings are put into your mouth, you will bite into a meatball.
The meatballs of the dumplings will explode instantly when they touch your teeth, and the juice with the fragrance of cucumber will fill your mouth.
These kind of dumplings are the kind of dumplings our chefs eat themselves. Today we must be ruthless to let our parents know that cooking is also an art.
Of course, you can’t just eat one kind of stuffing. Although winter leeks don’t look good and don’t look bright enough, they are rich in flavor. You can simply squeeze them into juice and then put them into the so-called three delicacies stuffing. With shrimps With meat, sea cucumbers and a little bit of good pork beaten until it becomes gluey, the dumpling fillings have a little bit of Jiangnan style. I guess my mother will love it.
While Yao Yuan was busy with his work, his mother still stood at the door of the kitchen and watched, her eyes narrowing as she looked at her son. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few months, this eldest son could actually cook.
It's really evil. Every time my family wants to have a good meal, there will always be unwelcome guests.
When a few small plates of side dishes were brought to the table and the dumplings were just coming out of the pot, there was another knock on the door.
Xiao Hua'er cheered and jumped to open the door. Everyone looked at the door and saw a guitar entering the room first, followed by Wang Hongyu.
Isn't it because the sun is rising in the west? Wang Hongyu can find the right time to enjoy the meal. When did he become so shameless?
