Chapter 171: High Price (300 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you, why are you still crying?"
Hou Jinbiao also wanted to stop there with chopsticks for steamed dumplings, and asked in astonishment.
The beautiful woman who was still sitting next to him reacted quickly, and immediately pulled out a napkin and handed it to Lao Zhang.
"Thank you!"
Lao Zhang took the tissue, wiped the tears on his face casually, swallowed the steamed dumplings in his mouth, and apologized with a wry smile: "I'm sorry! ”
Hou Jinbiao didn't want an apology, he frowned and asked, "Lao Zhang, what's the situation......? Reminds you of the taste of your dad's cooking?"
He didn't ask very clearly.
But a few people in the room understood.
Lao Zhang pursed his lips and nodded, "Well, yes! When I was young, I always liked to run to my dad's kitchen, especially when he made a whole sheep banquet, I liked to stay in the kitchen, and I didn't want to go anywhere, my dad made a whole sheep banquet with more than a dozen dishes, probably because I was too young at that time! Anyway, my favorite thing to eat was steamed mutton dumplings......
But because I was too young at that time, I only remember that the mutton steamed dumplings were very fresh and delicious, but I don't remember the specific taste.
But the steamed dumplings I just ate taste ...... I feel a lot like the mutton steamed dumplings that my dad made back in the day...... Really!"
Waiting for the gold standard: "......"
The two beauties didn't know what to say for a while.
After a moment of silence, Hou Jinbiao grinned, "Okay, then you eat more!"
Saying that, Hou Jinbiao couldn't help but be curious, took a steamed dumpling, took a bite, tasted it, and nodded, "Well, it's not bad! It's quite fresh." ”
But his expression was obviously not as exaggerated as Lao Zhang just now.
With his net worth, he is tired of eating all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
It's impossible to be too surprised because of a little lamb steamed dumplings.
The atmosphere at the banquet quickly returned to before, the two beauties ate very happily, haggis platter, they don't stretch their chopsticks much, but they both like the hot mutton steamed dumplings, and the chopsticks are frequently stretched.
"Serve!"
Xu Tongdao's shout came from the kitchen again.
Cao Min trotted into the kitchen for the first time, and not long after, she came out with a plate of white-cut mutton.
Compared with the haggis platter that came out first, the grade of white-cut mutton is higher.
The difference can be seen in the exquisiteness of the plating.
Each slice of lamb is cut very flat, and in a round white plate, the white cut lamb is cut into the shape of willow leaves and arranged in the shape of a flower.
In order to sell the whole sheep banquet tonight, Xu Tongdao prepared for a day during the day today.
Each dish of the whole sheep banquet has already been processed into a semi-finished product that can be served in a few minutes.
At this time, there was only one table of guests in his store, and Xu Tongdao served the food quite quickly.
Every two or three minutes, shout "serve".
After the white cut mutton, there is braised mutton, followed by shabu mutton, and then mutton scorpion pot, hand-grasped mutton, pretzel-salt lamb chops, pre-salt mutton trotters, mutton soup...... And so on, one after another dishes with mutton as the main ingredient, running water is generally served to the table of waiting for the gold label.
During this period, he instructed Xi Dongyang to inform Ge Lianghua to grill lamb skewers, and when they were done, they served them to Hou Jinbiao.
Twelve dishes before and after, all related to sheep.
It not only opened the eyes of the four people at the table of Hou Jinbiao, but also opened the eyes of everyone in Xu Tongdao's store.
Whether it is Xi Dongyang, Ge Lianghua, Xu Tonglin, or Huang Mei, Cao Min and Fang Fang, where have they seen such a whole sheep banquet before?
Don't talk about it, I've never heard of it, and I can't imagine that mutton can make so many names.
During this period, two more tables of customers walked into the store and ordered barbecue and other dishes.
The eyes of the guests at these two tables were also frequently attracted by the dishes on the table of Hou Jinbiao.
It's really the dishes on their table, which seem to be far more high-grade than the cold dishes and barbecue they ordered.
Curiosity is everyone's curiosity.
A woman at one of the tables couldn't help but whisper to the waiter Cao Min - what kind of dishes are there at that table?
After listening to Cao Min's introduction, several people at this table were surprised.
Whole sheep feast?
Can such a small shop produce such a high-grade whole sheep feast?
They want to eat too.
Then he asked Cao Min the price of this whole sheep feast.
Cao Min really didn't know the price of the full set of whole sheep banquets, after all, their store had just launched a whole sheep banquet tonight.
So she hurriedly went to the kitchen to ask Xu Tongdao.
“188!”
Xu Tongdao said lightly a price that made Cao Min jaw-dropping.
"Is it so expensive? Boss, are you wrong?"
She seriously suspected that he had said an extra "1", and she also wondered if she had misheard.
But Xu Tongdao told her, "That's right! It's this price, you can tell them that every dish of the whole sheep banquet can be ordered a la carte, and a single order doesn't cost much." ”
Cao Min was dumbfounded.
But Xu Tongdao is the boss, since he said that he wanted to sell at this price, she could only go out and tell the guests like this.
When she went out, Xi Dongyang, who was standing next to Xu Tongdao, also asked because he was surprised: "Is 188 too expensive?"
Xu Tongdao was under the faucet, washing his hands with soap.
He made so many meat dishes related to mutton in a row, and he got a lot of mutton fat on his hands.
Hearing Xi Dongyang also ask, Xu Tongdao smiled faintly, "Brother Xi! Have you ever heard of the principle that scarcity is expensive? Not every chef can make a whole sheep banquet, and even in this county, except for our store, there is probably no second one that can make a whole sheep banquet! Besides, mutton is already expensive, a mutton pot general shop will sell for 25 to 30 yuan, and in the case of a star-rated hotel, it will be even more expensive, and besides, didn't you see that for this whole sheep banquet, I prepared a whole day today? Such a laborious dish, don't sell it a little more expensive, do we drink the wind?
Besides, if such a laborious whole sheep feast can't be fetched, then we might as well keep selling only lamb skewers and cold dishes!
Cao Min and Xi Dongyang both felt that a table of all-sheep banquet 188 was too expensive.
But Xu Tongdao didn't think it was expensive at all.
He vividly remembers in '08 when he worked in the county's electric company's internal kitchen, which was contracted to a private owner.
The grade is completely incomparable with the star hotel, and the kitchen is a small kitchen of about 20 square meters.
But one day, the boss received an order, and the boss specially bought a batch of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs from the place of origin, as well as a few other rare ingredients.
Those dishes were made by his fellow Xu Dao.
At that time, his monthly salary was 4000.
But just that table of dishes, plus a few bottles of wine, the boss dared to charge more than 10,000 yuan.
At that time, several people in their kitchen were stunned.
But the host of the table really paid the bill.
Since then, Xu Tongdao has been enlightened.
In the catering industry, as long as you can provide guests with special enjoyment, the price will be doubled, and there is no problem at all.
Similar phenomena, he has really seen a lot of them in the past few years of catering.
This is also one of the main reasons why he has been wanting to do a whole sheep banquet recently, he is confident that he can do a whole sheep banquet, and at present, there may not be many in this county, or even in the urban area, there may be few that can do a whole sheep banquet.
Then the whole sheep feast he made is qualified to sell at a high price.
