Chapter 6 The Formation of Food Streets
Chen Xin sent Zhang Zhang to the nursery class a month in advance just to let him adapt first, and if there was something inappropriate, she still had time to adjust. But this month's time feels okay, occasionally Zhang Zhang will pee in his pants, at that time he will be angry with himself, deflated his small mouth, his small brows are wrinkled, and he squats in the corner of the room silently sad.
Even the one who is so angry is so fresh and refined is Zhang Zhang's little fat man.
Many of the one-year-old dango are still not able to walk, and most of the time they spend their time crawling on the floor indoors. Because Zhang Zhang is cute, children also like to come to him, even when he sulks, there are four or five milk dolls lying around the corner where Zhang Zhang is lying, some are holding blocks and knocking, some are dragging everything into their mouths, and some spare no effort to attract Zhang Zhang's attention, and even grab Zhang Zhang's little feet to gnaw.
Compared with other classes, where children cry from time to time, Zhang Zhang's little fat child's Little Sun Class 2 is already an angel class that all teachers want to lead. Even Chen Xin, the child's parents, are also cute in the eyes of the teachers. After knowing Zhang Zhang's little fat man's life experience, the homeroom teacher of their class also specially asked Teacher Tian to take care of the little fat man a little more, and also told Chen Xin that if she didn't have time to pick up the little fat man back in the afternoon, she could also call them, and Teacher Tian and she were willing to help take care of it for an hour or two until Chen Xin came to pick it up.
Thanks to the kindness of the teachers, Chen Xin will also bring some snacks made by herself when she goes to pick them up in the afternoon. The amount is not much, basically a family of three can be eliminated in one meal, and it is sweet and salty, and even takes into account the tastes of the elderly and children.
Sensible people usually get more care, which is very prominent in Chen Xin's two aunts and nephews. Even the principal of the kindergarten occasionally introduces a part-time job with less money to Chen Xin.
Although Chen Xin doesn't really want to do those part-time jobs, she has never turned down the kindness of others, and those part-time opportunities will also bring her more inspiration. Instead of rejecting, find a way to make yourself acceptable.
"Xiaoxin, my wife said that their magazine needs a food photo and asked if you can help make that snack and take a picture. ”
On this day, I also went to pick up Moth from school, and met the parents of Zhang Zhang's classmates at the kindergarten gate, she worked as a writer for a local magazine, and her husband was a media person who ran social news.
"Brother Song, they want to publish photos in the newspaper?"
"It's not their newspaper, it's his classmate in the south with someone to co-run a food travel magazine, I don't know if it can be done, now I'm looking for us two to make an appointment, my lover wants to write a series of articles on local food, starting from breakfast, need home-cooked, I heard that you opened a morning shop outside the school, so I want to say if you want to do a favor, he will pay according to the price. ”
"Then I need to say that, Brother Song can find me and can also see my craftsmanship, I don't know if I can do it. In this way, why don't you make an appointment to talk to Brother Song first, see what kind of breakfast he needs, and then I will make it for him to see, if it works, use it, if not, you can't delay Brother Song. ”
Cheng Jie thought about it and said happily, and directly said that she would go to their house on Saturday morning to do it. The kitchen in their house is spacious and bright, which is good for taking pictures.
Chen Xin asked Cheng Jie to leave her address and phone number, and agreed on an approximate time to come to the door, and in addition, whatever ingredients were needed were provided by Cheng Jie's family.
"Then you must bring Zhang Zhang, that little girl in my family likes to play with Zhang Zhang, I heard Teacher Tian say that the two little guys are much better at eating together. ”
Of course Chen Xin agreed to this request, even if Cheng Jie didn't say it, she would probably take the initiative to put it forward, after all, the nursery class would not be open on Saturday, if she wanted to go, she would definitely not be able to go home at noon, and Zhang Zhang would have no one to take care of her.
Although Uncle Tie and his family can also help take care of the fat moth, Uncle Tie only discussed with Chen Xin a few days ago whether the shop could be rented to them at noon and afternoon.
Song Xinxian's craftsmanship is good, and Chen Xin also told them a lot about fast food, so the two wanted to borrow Chen Xin's shop to open a fast food restaurant.
Song Xianxian was very embarrassed at first, after all, this shop was rented and redecorated by Chen Xin with great effort, and they originally came to help, but they wanted to occupy other people's territory to do their own business, so it would be too sorry for Chen Xin to get it down.
But Chen Xin thought differently, she opened this shop just to find a stable income channel for herself, if it weren't for Uncle Tie's peace of mind, with her kind of business method of having to go to class and have no time to stay, it would be unrealistic to make money. Of course, she can also hire someone else to do it, but everyone knows that the most important thing in the restaurant is the procurement and production of ingredients, and if you don't know how to do it, you will be cheated out of most of the profits by the chef who is invited to work, and even the boss may lose money and the chef makes money.
Uncle Tie and his wife are very conscientious, and they honestly keep accounts when they buy vegetables and sell things, so after knowing that the two of them want to use the rest of their store, Chen Xin did not get angry, but readily agreed, and instructed the two of them to go to the hardware store to customize a set of stainless steel insulated pot racks that were popular for more than ten years.
The principle of this stainless steel pot rack is particularly simple, a large liquefied gas tank and a gas stove, the top is made into a double-layer space pot rack, the middle layer can be filled with water, and the gas stove below maintains a certain amount of fire to maintain the water temperature within the required range, and then the top table is made into an empty shelf of six or eight mouths, and then the vegetable basin with a depth of 15 cm is customized according to the size of the shelf. If the vegetable pot is placed on an empty shelf, the bottom surface can be exposed to hot water, which can maintain the heat for a long time, so that the fried vegetables are not easy to get cold. When the time comes, you can scoop whatever you need to do, which can not only enjoy the taste similar to stir-frying, but also save more time than ordering stir-frying. And a set of eight yuan, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, you can eat as much as you want, and scoop up the vegetarian soup at will. For most of the migrant workers who saved, this kind of fast food is one-third cheaper than a set of eleven or two yuan in a fast food restaurant, and the taste is not much worse.
Even more economical, you can six yuan two vegetarian and one meat, five yuan and three vegetarian or something, this is the thrifty street fast food.
And the most important thing is that this form of fast food can be prepared in advance, and most of the meals can be handled by two people, and at most you need to hire a helper to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"You'd better go to the small commodity market at the train station to see if there are any stainless steel dinner plates and soup bowls that are used in schools, this kind of food is not afraid of falling, and the food grid is divided, it looks much better than mixing together. ”
Chen Xin casually drew a sample out, and then said that you can marinate some chicken thighs or something in advance, this kind of does not take up space, you can also prepare it one night in advance, or even buy it in the morning and throw it directly into the brine, and wait until breakfast is sold out, the chicken thighs and pork are almost good.
"By the way, Uncle Tie, didn't your neighbor ask you for help that day and wanted to set up a stall? I heard you say that his wife is a master of braised goose, in fact, he can open a roast and braised restaurant, and he also sells rice when selling braised vegetables. A meal with a quarter of the braised goose or duck, or hooves or something, two vegetarian dishes and one soup, it doesn't take much effort, and the business shouldn't be bad. ”
Since ancient times, it has not been said that any one can finish the business of diners all over the world, only when there are more people, the market will be competitive, and merchants will spend more effort to develop new products.
And being greedy and chewing not only refers to study, but also to make a small restaurant, rather than wanting to earn everything, it is better to seriously make a feature, the taste is done well, there is naturally loyal user support, old customers bring new customers, and the energy continues to be done.
When it was time for the official start of the school year, the street where Chen Xin's breakfast shop was located was called the food street by the university next to it and a vocational and technical college a little further away, and many students had lunch and dinner here. Some shops saw the opportunity and extended their breakfast to the whole day, and at the same time added some new varieties for students to choose from.
