Liu Qianqian paused for a moment, and then said, "But the eel is not a dragon fish, and it is not a sea fish with few spines and a light flavor like cod. ”

The advantage of eel is that it has its own rich and special aroma, which is why most of the methods are made by kabayaki or steaming, one is to use the sauce to bring out the umami of the eel as much as possible, and the other is to enjoy the pure taste of the eel.

If tomato soup is used as the main seasoning for eel, it is necessary to solve the problem of the two ingredients having conflicting tastes.

Liu Qianqian said: "The way I think of dealing with it is to make balls. ”

Qi Feiyang nodded: "Put ginger paste in the eel balls." ”

Ginger puree can suppress the fishy smell of eel.

Liu Qianqian said: "I use new ginger, and the smell is not too strong, so that it will not overpower the taste of eel." ”

Qi Feiyang nodded and said, "Very well done, whether it is plating, creativity or taste, I will give you five stars." ”

Liu Qianqian smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

She didn't bring a title, and the occasion was inappropriate.

Then there is the poplar forest, and the poplar grove really can't find the problem with this dish, and he can't act it if he wants to.

The soup is rich and pure, and the meatballs are not only elastic and refreshing when you bite into them, but also have a little crunchy texture.

What else is there to find fault with this?

Yang Shulin held back for a while and said, "Five stars, pass." ”

Liu Qianqian chuckled.

When he arrived at Bao Yongchang, Bao Yongchang asked with a smile: "If you were to be priced, how much would you price this dish?"

Liu Qianqian said: "This dish weighs about 600 milliliters including soup, there are about 30 balls, and four eels are used. If you want to sell it, you can consider two models, one is to make the soup pot in advance and sell it according to the individual's portion, and in the case of an international restaurant, I think it is reasonable to have between 18 and 28 servings, because it is necessary to take into account the size of the utensils. ”

She didn't directly say a price, after all, among the viewers who watched variety shows, not all the audience were the customers of international hotels, she was clear, as a five-star landmark hotel, the price of dishes was naturally much more expensive than that of affordable hotels, on the one hand, all kinds of costs were high, and they had to be spread on the price, on the other hand, the high price also ensured that all the ingredients were the best.

It's just that many times, the audience doesn't take these into account, and when they see 281 small bowls of soup, they will want to spray black shops and rip off customers.

This kind of handmade fish ball soup, in the evaluation of the restaurant, also sells for more than 10 yuan, generally 12 yuan to 16 yuan, so Liu Qianqian's price is 18 yuan to 28 yuan, which does not push down the grade of the international hotel, and at the same time gives the audience an illusion: the takeaway restaurant still has 16 yuan, and the international hotel is only 18 yuan, and it feels acceptable.

"The other is a multi-portion," Liu continued, "according to 600 milliliters, the amount of four eels can be set at 88 yuan to 128 yuan." ”

She emphasized the price of four eels, the price of eels outside, according to the regular price, a whole eel is generally about 58 yuan, half an eel rice is about 38 yuan, and steamed eel is about 50 or 60 yuan.

So in order to ensure the number of balls and not mix starch, she has to use almost four eels, 88 yuan to 128 yuan, which gives people the feeling that it is very favorable.

This is also taking advantage of the information gap between the industry and the audience. Beautiful book bar

After all, in fact, in terms of cost, the cost of an eel and four eels is about the same, and an eel sells for fifty-eight because it also counts the various costs of purchase, store, personnel, refrigerated storage or fresh breeding, and if you understand this, you can understand that the cost of one and the cost of four are not much different, and they will not quadruple, but they will enter more and use more, although the cost will not be reduced, but the profit will increase.

There is a price comparison, this price will give the audience a different feeling, the audience who knows how to do it feels the same, the price is very reasonable, and the audience who doesn't know how to do it will feel very cost-effective and affordable.

Bao Yongchang was very satisfied, and he even felt a little sorry in his heart.

Liu Qianqian's craftsmanship is so accurate in the pricing of the industry and the psychology of customers, it is more than enough to preside over an international hotel in Beijing.

No wonder after he told Yang Shulin, Yang Shulin called Liu Qianqian without hesitation.

That's a perfect fit.

Na Na alas.

Although this show said that all parties did their best, in Bao Yongchang's view, the possibility of Liu Qianqian winning the championship is really not low.

Bao Yongchang suppressed the regret in his heart and gave Liu Qianqian a five-star with a smile on his face.

Then came Ge Jun, who first asked: "No matter how fresh the eel is, the meat quality always tends to be softer, how to maintain this elasticity by only using eel as meatballs?"

Liu Qianqian said: "I put the skin of the eel in it, and the most delicious and elastic part of the eel is the thick skin. ”

It's just that if the skin of the eel is made into meatballs, you have to find a way to deal with the fishy smell, and Liu Qianqian chooses to use ginger puree with new ginger, as well as celery.

"Chopping celery and kneading it with meatballs can not only reduce the fishy smell of the fish skin, but also increase the taste, and you must feel it when you eat it. ”

Ge Jun nodded: "Indeed, in addition to the soft and elastic taste of meatballs, there is also a crunchy thing, which turns out to be chopped celery." ”

Liu Qianqian said with a smile: "Fish skin alone can increase a certain amount of elasticity, but if you want to restore the taste, you need to use something else." ”

Ge Jun said: "Good, good, the integration of theory and practice is very good, and I will give you five stars." ”

So far, Liu Qianqian has taken twenty stars, just looking at Liu Xiangjun's score.

Liu Xiangjun also wants to work hard to find faults, but it is really impeccable, from the plating, to the aroma, to the taste, to the texture, if you can still pick this one, then you can only pick something boring, such as ginger puree that is directly integrated into the fish balls, without considering the taste of people who can't eat ginger.

In the end, Liu Qianqian was given four stars.

Liu Qianqian smiled at him considerately, after all, the variety show was directly given five stars, with a full score of twenty-five stars, so how can the people behind compare.

The big screen at the back shows Liu Qianqian's score, which is very top-notch, but under her, there are also two people who have scored 22 stars.

Sun Yang is at the bottom, with only seven.

Not only Sun Yang, Jiang Kun also felt a little unmotivated in his heart, it is true that Sun Yang's level is visible to the naked eye, but such a role, if he can stay for a few more issues and cause controversy, the effect will definitely be much better than eliminating Sun Yang in the first issue.

He thought so, but it was initially decided that the game would be up to the chefs until the semi-finals.
