Chapter 623: Spring Limited
It's April in the blink of an eye.
Everything is recovering, spring is blooming, all kinds of fresh ingredients belonging to spring are on the market one after another, and Taifeng Building will also usher in a new round of menu updates.
Spring-limited dishes led by spring bamboo shoots and toons are about to appear on the menu of Taifeng Building, and the screws will also wake up from dormancy before and after the Qingming Festival, fresh and plump, Dong Shi and Dong Li are already ready to move, ready to show the people of Taifeng Building a thousand ways to do screws.
Master Huang returned to Gusu at the end of March, and in his words, his son and grandson were both in Gusu, and he missed it for too long, so he hurried back. But in Dong Shi's words, Master Huang's medical insurance is hanging in Gusu, and it is too inconvenient to stay in Beiping to see a doctor.
Jiang Weiming's health was improving, and the attending doctor told Jiang Feng that if everything went well, Jiang Weiming would be discharged from the hospital next week.
As soon as Jiang Weiming was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Feng's clear soup and soup practice would be put on the agenda. Last time in the hospital, Jiang Weiming asked Jiang Feng if he wanted to learn, and Jiang Feng's answer was naturally yes.
Stock and consommé are too important in top dishes, especially for people like Jiang Feng who have several dishes in their recipe that require dashi or consommé. Whether it's baked lobster in soup, Jiang-style ginseng soup, chicken bean curd, or the latest Buddha jumping over the wall, dashi and clear soup are indispensable.
If you want to be able to run, you must first be able to walk, and now Jiang Feng can walk, but the problem is that what he wants is not to run but to fly.
If you can't grow wings, you have to buy a plane ticket at least first, and what Jiang Feng has to do now is to save money to buy a plane ticket.
Plane tickets aside, what happened at the end of March was a pleasant surprise.
It seems to be a beautiful poem, when the winter snow melts, the earth rejuvenates, and everything recovers, everything will be fine.
It would be even better if the turnover could be better.
Comrade Wang Xiulian has been a little annoyed lately.
As the only person in the Jiang family who cares about the debt problem of Taifeng Building, Wang Xiulian sincerely prays every day before going to bed that the top-floor restaurant next door will close quickly because of poor management.
Tai Fung Building's turnover in March was really not good.
Although it is still profitable, the amount of profit has decreased sharply compared to the previous months. Wang Xiulian feels that if she follows this trend, when her uncompetitive son gets married and has children, her lovely grandson may not be able to repay the family's debts when he grows up.
Her grandchildren haven't been born yet, how can she owe a lot of debts because of her uncompetitive father and uncompetitive grandfather!
Every time she thinks about this, Wang Xiulian wants to deduct all the salaries of Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang, so that Taifeng Building's accounts look a little better.
"Mom, come and try this toon omelette. Jiang Feng ran to Comrade Wang Xiulian with a plate of toon omelette that had just come out of the pot.
Wang Xiulian took the chopsticks in Jiang Feng's hand, folded the toon omelette on the plate, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them all into her mouth, chewed them twice, and her face changed suddenly.
"Your grandfather made it?" Wang Xiulian swallowed the toon omelette.
Jiang Feng nodded: "What do you think of the taste?"
"Of course your grandfather is delicious!" Wang Xiulian looked serious, "Your grandfather is trying the new menu?"
Jiang Feng nodded.
Because the business is not very prosperous, Fang Mei proposed that it is better to launch a spring limited package, all the dishes in the package are made of the most tender and fatty ingredients in spring or unique to spring, what dishes are not important, the important thing is spring limited.
Who can resist the temptation to limit these two words?
It stands to reason that this kind of thing can't be done by Jiang Weiguo in person, but the old man is really boring during this time.
Jiang Weiming was in the hospital, Grandma Jiang went to play mahjong with Chen Suhua every day as usual, and suddenly the third brother was not around, Jiang Weiguo didn't even have anyone to chat with at any time, and he felt bored when he went to the teahouse to drink tea at noon, and he didn't even mean to point out his grandson's cooking skills and scold his grandson.
After all, it's not like back then, when Jiang Weiguo was at his peak, he could scold 4 grandsons at once, but now there is only one grandson to scold, and it's boring to scold and scold.
"How many dishes have you decided?" asked Wang Xiulian, who could only price the menu if she had decided on the menu.
"There are so many ingredients that we can use for the spring limited menu, and we haven't decided on any of them. Jiang Feng said, "There are mandarin fish, pomfret, bream, bream, catfish, saury, anchovies, yellow eyebrows and white pigeonfish, and there are a bunch of them to choose from." ”
"The cinnamon fish in March and April is the fattest, before and after Xiaoman, and when the plum is yellow, it is a good time to eat pomfret. However, the three pomfret and four pomfret, the fish in April is more delicious, and the fish is most suitable for steaming and serving quickly, as long as it is steamed with the roe, it is a good dish. ”
"Mix the expensive ones with the cheap ones, and choose the ones that look good. "Wang Xiulian," Huang Meitou is a lionfish, right? That thing is only available on the southeast coast, and it will die if it leaves the water, so forget it. ”
Jiang Feng felt that it was no problem, they hadn't thought much about it in the first place.
"This toon omelette can be considered. Wang Xiulian proposed, "The restaurant next door is a broken egg, that is, ham and bread are spread under the eggs, and the ham is only so thin, and if it is drizzled with some sauce, it dares to sell it for dozens or hundreds of yuan." We can't lose, we also sell eggs, so we sell toon omelette. ”
"Eggs Benedict?"
"Yes, it's the egg. Wang Xiulian looked sure, "It's too expensive, just two eggs 88." ”
In fact, Eggs Benedict is a very simple American breakfast, which is very common and very simple, and the name seems to be expensive, so the top restaurant can sell it for a high price of 88.
If the Eggs Benedict were called a muffin omelette or a bread omelette or a muffin ham omelette, it would only sell for 28 or 38.
In other words, if you change the toon omelette to the toon dick egg, can it also be sold for 88.
"Mom, when did you go to the top-floor restaurant to eat eggs Benedict?" Jiang Feng immediately grasped the point.
Wang Xiulian: ......
Wang Xiulian pretended to be angry and slapped the table, with an angry face: "It's all your father's fault, he didn't say that he wanted to taste the taste of the restaurant next door, so I accompanied him." I'm not mainly here to eat, I'm mainly here to study their food and prices, just to find out why their business is so good. ”
"Why?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Their food is really delicious. ”
Jiang Feng: ......
"That Benedict egg is a bit expensive, but don't say it, it's really not good. The eggs are fried tenderly, the sauce on the top is also quite delicious, and the runny egg yolk is beautiful in color, not to mention how delicious it is on the bread below. ”
"It's just that there is too little ham, so I only give two slices!"
Jiang Feng: ?
Comrade Wang Xiulian, you are a bit thorough in your qualifications.
"Don't talk about this, I'll get angry when I say it. If you had studied hard with your grandfather, you wouldn't have been able to fry an omelette yet. If the eggs in our store could be fried like that, not 88, but 18. Wang Xiulian was full of words.
Jiang Feng: ???
"Oh. ”
"By the way, your third grandfather should also be discharged from the hospital, when will he be discharged?" Wang Xiulian successfully changed the topic.
"I should be discharged from the hospital next week, and the doctor asked the third grandfather to observe in the hospital for two more days, otherwise he will be discharged from the hospital this week. Jiang Feng said, "But Uncle Jiang Yong is leaving in two days, and their magazine seems to have something to do with him temporarily." Now that the third grandfather is almost in good health, Uncle Jiang Yong means that he won't come back again this time, after all, he has also taken such a long leave, and it is estimated that there is a lot of work accumulated in the magazine. ”
"You go and drop him off on the day he goes back, and bring him two jars of pickles by the way. Ji Yue's mother just sent a batch of new goods two days ago, the winter bamboo shoots have been pickled, I have already helped you taste it, whether it is stir-fried pickles or stir-fried sauerkraut, or making pickled winter bamboo shoots and pickled vegetables and beef stew are very good. ”
"By the way, Ji Yue's mother said that there are a lot of winter bamboo shoots in this batch. Otherwise, I will put the pickled winter bamboo shoots in the spring limited package, I will order a batch of small bottles, buy the package and get a can of it, and raise the price of the package a little. The more Wang Xiulian thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was really wonderful, and immediately threw Jiang Feng down to discuss this matter with Fang Mei.
Jiang Feng: ?
Winter bamboo shoots are included in the spring-limited course.
Wonderful.
