The front yard of the private restaurant is a Chinese-style retro courtyard style, with a courtyard house, a patio, repaired into a small garden, a small bridge and flowing water, and pebbles, which is indeed a quiet place in the downtown area.

The backyard is even more unique, because he often needs all kinds of aquatic products, he simply built a small living pool here for the first time to feed the aquatic products.

In this way, if a customer orders at any time, it is still freshly killed live fish and freshly caught crabs to ensure freshness. I have to say that I don't know how to calculate the cost of such a treatment of ingredients.

In total, the chickens he brought are easier to manage, and he only needs to feed some rice buds every day.

A hundred chickens run in the backyard, easy and stress-free, and the area is really not small.

Zhou Heng didn't know Boss Jiang's strength yet, but he was dumbfounded in his heart, how much rent would he get for such a large area!

Boss Jiang looked at the 100 chickens that were jumping around, and he was very happy, he had already made preparations and was about to start making his new dishes.

Seeing that Zhou Heng was about to leave, Boss Jiang said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, don't be in a hurry to leave! I will make a new dish tonight, if you are not in a hurry, how about staying and helping me taste it?"

Zhou Heng was a little flattered, and hurriedly said, "How embarrassing is this!"

The dishes of this private dish are all first-class and good, and the price is really unusual, how can he give others a taste?

Besides, he's not a well-known critic, and he can't comment on one, two, three.

Maybe people are just polite to him.

Boss Jiang said with a smile: "I didn't say anything polite to you, this dish is a new dish, and these excellent local chickens are cultivated by you, I think, you also have the right to speak!"

For this dish, he has been running around these days, buying all kinds of ingredients, and waiting for the local chicken to be delivered.

Zhou Heng politely conceded again, but he couldn't push it off, and finally agreed not to leave first.

He divided half of the peaches he brought from home to Boss Jiang, and the other half was going to be brought to his former colleagues so that they could taste them too.

After all, they said they wanted to eat it countless times, and let them taste it.

Boss Jiang proposed that the time for tasting the dishes was at night, and now there are still several hours of free time, so I will eat with them for lunch.

The old colleagues were very happy to see each other, especially Xiao Chen, who argued that she must pay for this meal, because she had just received a commission!

It's Edward's order, and now that the deposit has been paid, last time she said that she must have a treat, and no one should rob her.

At the dinner table, everyone asked how Zhou Heng was at home, whether the breeding industry was really easy to do, no one to help, whether one person could handle it, and so on.

The company is not developing very well, and they also want to inquire in many ways, and if there is a good way, they even want to retreat and change careers.

Xiao Chen looked at Zhou Heng and said with a smile: "Brother Heng must be very cool at home, you see, he is tanned, there is a feeling of being black and strong, which is different from being in the office all day long." ”

Zhou Heng smiled: "Now you understand, who knows that Chinese food is hard work!hahahaha......"

My old colleagues are also used to joking.

chatted with Zhou Heng for a while, and then also talked about the current situation of the company. In short, that's what it looks like, the customer is getting smaller and smaller, and the future is worrying.

In the past, small customers like Edward, the company didn't pay much attention to them, and now they have to take care of it. No, the company is trying to invite him to come over for next season's exhibition.

Speaking of this, Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Oh? he really wants to come over! Last time I told him that I had resigned and raised chickens at home, and he also said that he was going to my house to eat chickens." ”

Xiao Chen asked, "Really, then the next time he comes, I'll tell you in advance! The boss asked me to receive him." ”

Having said that, even Edward, a foreigner, wants to go to the mountain village to eat chicken, travel, and have a holiday, so why don't they want to.

Isn't this forced by life?

Xiao Chen asked Zhou Heng: "Brother Heng, I have a very good view of the scenery there! Do you want to develop tourism, homestays or something? It's very popular now! I feel like I have money to make." ”

The rest of the people chimed in.

Even if they don't have time to travel, they like to travel online and see what interesting places others go to - there are really not too many travel influencers now, and they can be seen on any video website.

Where it is popular, Internet celebrities must go to check in.

Although some people don't like it very much, it has at least brought popularity and benefits to the locals!

What is personal preference compared to the wealth-making party?

Someone also suggested to Zhou Heng: "Brother Heng, why don't you also go to those Internet celebrities to leave a message and invite them to go to you, drive it, maybe it's really okay." ”

Then there was a lot of gossip on the table, saying that those Internet celebrities are worth a lot of money, some fans are not too much, and the advertising costs are tens of thousands, and many of them are zombie fans, and the money is spent to no effect.

Zhou Heng thought of Jiang Xiaoxuan, and didn't know how much she spent on advertising with hundreds of thousands of fans.

However, she said that her fans are real fans, and there are no zombies, so there should be no water.

He smiled: "Running a homestay is not a casual one, there must be an attraction, an attractive gimmick, otherwise, others will not go again after going once, what's the use." ”

He also said that there are now a group of college students living in his village, which is a low-profile version of the homestay.

Especially when it comes to those students who are now eating farmhouse food with each family, they all have very novel and envious expressions. It doesn't cost much, but it can still be enjoyed, which is exactly what they dream of!

Some people began to joke that while Brother Heng was not a famous Internet celebrity check-in place now, they could take the time to go over and play first and experience the experience.

Otherwise, when it becomes a real resort in the future, it will be time to start charging fees, and now you can just earn it.

The people at the table are all hahaha.

While he was talking, the dish came up, and it was a crockpot of chicken soup.

In the practice of Cantonese cuisine, the chicken soup base adds some ingredients such as bamboo ginseng, poria cocos, and red dates, which smells a fresh fragrance, and it is also a dish that has been stewed for a long time.

The waiter divided the soup into everyone's soup bowl, and the people at the table smelled the fragrance, and everyone praised the chicken soup made authentically.

After the waiter finished distributing the soup and went out, Xiao Chen asked Zhou Heng in a low voice: "Brother Heng, how does this chicken soup compare with your family's local chicken soup?"

Zhou Hengyi spread his hands: "How can this be compared to my chickens?"

That is, the waiter went out, otherwise, it is estimated that people will be unhappy when they hear it, after all, this restaurant is based on crockpot chicken soup, which is famous in this area.

However, what Zhou Heng said was also the truth.

From the beginning of the stew, the aroma of his chicken that attracts people's appetite continues to come out, and until it is served, the people who smell it are constantly salivating.

There is a way to eat the marrow and know the taste, after eating your own chicken, these are not in your eyes.

Xiao Chen couldn't believe it, and said, "The difference won't be so big, right?"

This can of chicken soup, 288, is not cheap. There is a huge sign in front of the store, indicating that it is a farmer's chicken from a certain place.

Zhou Heng smiled and asked her, "Do you know what the price of a real local chicken is?"

The people at the table immediately started talking, some said that there were two for more than 50 on the Internet, some said that more than 100 sold for two, and some said that there was only one for more than 100 in the vegetable market, and there were all kinds of things.

In fact, speaking of which, the controversy has already come to an end, and the real local chicken will not be cheap.

Some people from the countryside also said that they only learned after returning that the local eggs at home had been sold for two yuan a few years earlier.

Isn't the result obvious, this can of chicken soup sells for 288 cans, which seems to be very expensive, but the cost of ingredients is visible to the naked eye.

The cost of ingredients in general restaurants is usually less than a quarter of the selling price, or even lower, because there are also cooking costs, as well as huge venue rental fees, decoration costs, publicity costs, etc.

According to this calculation, the boss of the family has to sell according to the book.

Zhou Heng tasted the chicken soup, and the taste was indeed okay.

The quality of the "local chicken" they use is certainly not very good, but the advantage is that the chef is good at cooking, and can make the meat tender through some cooking methods and the combination of ingredients and condiments, and make the chicken soup very fragrant, so it feels good.

Isn't it just the advertising slogan of a certain condiment: "With it, I can become a chef in an instant." ”

However, if you really have a good local chicken, you dare to make a stew, and if you don't put these things, the stew can be more fragrant and delicious than this.

Listening to Zhou Heng's eloquent talk, colleagues were envious, your chicken is really so delicious?

They were eating and talking here, but Jiang Lijun on the other side was extremely busy.

He had been preparing the new dishes for a long time, for several years, and for decades, starting with his apprenticeship.

This dish was dictated by the master, because the ingredients required were extremely rare, and under the conditions at that time, at most, ordinary chicken could be obtained, and even other ingredients could not be prepared.

When the master was making the simplified version, he dictated some formal methods to him, imagining the strange fragrance of the official finished product, the sense of accomplishment that filled the audience, and the master really danced with his eyebrows at that time, and he swallowed his saliva directly.

For decades, he never forgot what it was like.

Until now, he occasionally tasted the local chicken cultivated by Zhou Heng's family, and he knew that this dish should be realized.

He invited a few friends to come over to help taste it, and also left Zhou Heng to taste it together.

So, he'll be busy preparing for the evening's dish.

In the afternoon, a few friends have already arrived, crossing the quiet retro-style courtyard and coming to the backyard where only chefs can stay.

No diners are allowed to visit here, only the staff is busy.

When I arrived in the backyard, an unknown fragrance popped out, arousing people's appetite.

An old man couldn't help but shout out in a gaffe: "Lao Jiang, what are you cooking today?
