Chapter 324: Ideas for Showcasing Local Cuisine
The food delivery service of Zhu Youfu Hotel has been well received by all parties, which has greatly optimized the catering problem in Zhangjiazhai and made Zhu Youfu breathe a sigh of relief.
He got the news that there are also shops in the town that are eyeing Zhangjiazhai and have come down to investigate.
He had to quickly occupy most of the catering market in Zhangjiazhai before anyone else came. As for other industries, then he can't manage so much.
In fact, some people do come to Zhangjiazhai to inspect the consumption environment, such as wanting to open a beverage store.
For the time being, there is no one to compete with the hotel. It's not that no one has seen the popularity of Zhangjiazhai's catering, but people have also got the news, at present, Zhu Youfu is borrowing money to expand wildly, so that they are afraid to go to Zhangjiazhai to compete, is it worth it.
Don't get hot at that time, everyone runs over there to open a restaurant, causing restaurants to be seen everywhere, that is, hurting each other, and it is not good for everyone.
The best thing is to find an industry that no one has done in Zhangjiazhai yet, so that you can eat the first bite of crab and the profit will be high. Zhu Youfu opened a restaurant in Zhangjiazhai and the owner of a building materials store, etc., all of which are living examples and make a lot of money.
The entry of Zhang Fan's villa is a major event in the village.
Even Mayor Yang gave face and said that they would come to drink two glasses when the time came. Therefore, the village cadres did not relax, and the old village chief asked two or three village cadres to come over to help and make some preparations.
Let Zhang Fan's uncle Zhang Liye do everything alone, and that guy will probably get tired and lie down.
After all, it is the first time that Zhangjiazhai has had a flowing water banquet, and now there are many people in Zhangjiazhai, how many things do they have to purchase? I'm afraid Zhang Liye himself has no bottom in his heart.
Therefore, the old village chief sent people to help, including people who were more experienced and steady in handling things.
Zhang Liyan is an expert in the village, and now he is a junior director in the village committee. But no matter which family in the village holds happy events and funerals, he will almost participate in handling them, and his overall planning ability is very strong.
If Zhang Fan hadn't been born, he would have been a candidate for the next village chief.
"Fifth brother, I'm sorry for you. Zhang Fan's uncle Zhang Liye said.
Zhang Liyan is older than Zhang Liye, and everyone is the same generation, because he ranks fifth in his family, many people in the village call him the fifth brother, and Zhang Liye is no exception.
"Okay, I'll take care of that, you're busy with the rest. By the way, let Xiaofan come over for a while. Zhang Liyan said with a smile.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Fan is also his cousin, and the old lady from a hundred years ago is the same person, but the relationship has faded from generation to generation.
Seeing that Zhang Fan is so promising, how can he, as an elder, not be happy?
The old village chief told him that the position of village chief would be reserved for Zhang Fan in the future. And he Zhang Liyan said that the old village chief and the village party secretary recommended him to the town government to do business.
Mayor Yang admires his style of work, and in the second half of next year, he should go to work.
Therefore, he had no problem with the old village chief's arrangement. It is definitely better to work in the town government than in the village. Therefore, he can be regarded as borrowing the momentum of his cousin and nephew, and he can be promoted next year.
Otherwise, who cares about you as a small village cadre?
It is precisely because of this that he is more concerned about the affairs of Zhang Fan's family. When he learned that the old village chief was going to send someone to help, he immediately recommended himself.
And the old village chief also trusted Zhang Liye and hit it off.
This time, Zhang Fan's new house will be used for a banquet, and he will help to make it beautiful.
"Wait a minute, I'll call him out. Zhang Liye nodded, he was so busy recently that he didn't have time to take care of the melon fields on the other side of the valley, so he handed it over to his wife and a few women.
After Zhang Fan came out, he greeted Zhang Liyan first.
"Uncle Wu, is there anything you want me to do?" asked Zhang Fan.
The village appointed this expert, Zhang Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, holding a banquet, this is a professional in front of him, who has been helping to cook various banquets in Zhangjiazhai for more than ten years, and has seen strong winds and waves.
"You played a bit big this time, and the village committee has already helped with preliminary verification, but it's not specific, so we'll reserve a few more tables. Purchasing ingredients, as long as our village has them, is not a problem. Zhang Liyan said.
He first talked about the ingredients needed for the banquet, as long as Zhangjiazhai has them, the villagers can even move them over for free. After all, everyone is not a white-eyed wolf, and their family has a good life today, all of which Zhang Fan brought to them.
On the way over, many villagers said that the chickens and pigs at home could be caught casually, not to mention any money.
Creating a menu is an important step in setting up a feast. As long as you decide on the menu, you can find something according to the menu.
Moreover, the menu of the new house is very particular, or all the happy events and funeral banquets, what dishes need to be served, there are certain regulations, what can be served, what can not be served.
For example, in some places, what ten bowls are requested.
The so-called ten bowls, also known as "Changping Water Seat", are the earliest and most systematic Chinese cuisine in existence, which was formed after the Battle of Changping in 262 BC.
And they Zhangjiazhai, the more popular is eight kinds of dishes, and wealthy people can serve twelve plates.
They also know that Zhang Fan's family is not short of money, and they basically do it according to the highest standards, especially when Mayor Yang and they will also come down to drink, it will be even more shabby.
Zhang Fan heard the fifth uncle ask about the menu, and he talked about the results of his previous discussion with his uncle.
"My idea is to use this banquet to show our local food to the outside world. So, it's best to make something more local. Zhang Fan said.
Zhang Liyan was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Fan to even hold a banquet and not forget to promote their village Zhangjiazhai. And no wonder, this guy came up with the idea of inviting all tourists to eat and drink.
It turns out that it is not for the sake of showmanship, but the real purpose is to show the food culture of their place.
"Well, that's very good. However, we can't find so many dishes with strong local flavors for a while. You wait, I'll have to ask somebody, and I'll make up a twelve. Zhang Liyan couldn't help but nodded.
In his heart, he admires this cousin very much, and every thing he thinks about will have his own unique considerations. I really don't know how it grows.
Next, Zhang Liyan made a lot of phone calls and asked many people in Huangshi Town, and finally gathered twelve flavors of food with local characteristics of Huangshi Town.
Whether it was the village committee or the town government, when they learned of Zhang Fan's consideration, they all strongly agreed with this approach.
"He's really well thought out. Secretary Luo smiled.
Li Hui, who was next to Secretary Luo, also praised: "Yes! That guy used to study in the past, and he always had his own unique opinions. He is very powerful, and every step has a deep meaning. ”
"Haha! You are classmates, so let's communicate more in the future. We, Yellowstone, still rely on your generation of young people. Secretary Luo encouraged.
