Chapter 6: Divergence

After a simple bite of food, everyone rushed to the supermarket by car.

"Actually, if you buy something, I think the market will be cheaper, and if there are people here who grow vegetables, they should also sell them in the market, unless it is a large-scale planting, they will choose to cooperate with big supermarkets. After getting into the car, Ma Xiaochen put forward his thoughts.

Although the things in the supermarket are complete, they will be much more expensive than the small market, and the vegetables are not necessarily fresher than the market.

However, this place is an island, and Ma Xiaochen doesn't know much about the situation here, so he just mentions his own thoughts.

Before Ma Xiaochen opened a small restaurant, he first sold boxed lunches, and he had many ways to save costs, but there were many of these methods, and they were not suitable for use in the show.

For example, he basically won't buy fresh food, the cost is too high, he is in the vegetable wholesale market, when he is about to go to the market, he will buy the rest of the others, it will be much cheaper, and many of them are basically half sold and half sent.

It's not that Ma Xiaochen has a bad heart, it's because he wants to buy expensive vegetables, and the cost will be much higher, so he will sell them more expensive.

In this way, the same thing, the craftsmanship is similar, and of course ordinary people will choose to buy it cheaply.

At that time, he was working alone, and it was really hard, and he could only sleep three or four hours a day.

"Then let's take a look at both places and compare!" Zhao Wei said when he saw this.

The crowd then went to two separate places, and found that as Ma Xiaochen said, things in the small market were much cheaper than those in the supermarket.

"Actually, since we have to use food every day, I just left their contact information, so that they can send us food directly in the morning, so that we can save a trip. After everyone bought everything, on the way back, Ma Xiaochen said to everyone.

In fact, this is also the mode of eating in all restaurants now, and they basically rarely go to buy vegetables by themselves, and they are all vegetable sellers who send them directly to the restaurant.

"That's right, how did you come up with that?" Zhao Wei asked excitedly when she heard this.

"Then what if they don't fool us with a bad one?" Zhou Dongyu asked.

"Hehe! Aren't all hotels like this now! If he can't get it right, we can do without it!" Ma Xiaochen explained.

"Oh! it can still be like this!" Zhou Dongyu nodded.

"Since he fooled you, then what reason do you have to tell him? Ma Xiaochen continued.

"Master, you are really good! how can you understand everything!" Le Mengjia said with a smile at Ma Xiaochen.

"Of course, otherwise how can you be your master!" Ma Xiaochen joked.

"But you're younger than me! You're only 18 years old, you know so much, and when I compare myself with you, I feel like I've lived in vain for so many years. Le Mengjia replied with some annoyance.

"If you live in vain, then what about me? I'm not whiter!" Zhao Wei also joked.

"Store manager, you are already very white!" Huang Xiaoming also teased.

"Haha!"

After everyone returned to the restaurant, Zhang Liang and Ma Xiaochen set off again, because there were many things that they hadn't bought enough.

However, Huang Xiaoming was not allowed to follow, because there were a lot of things left, and there was some hard work, and boys still had to do it.

After Ma Xiaochen and Zhang Liang came back, everyone cleaned up again, and then they were ready to start preparing dinner.

"Do you want to eat noodles? I'll make you some cold noodles!" Ma Xiaochen said to everyone after finishing his work.

"I want it, I like to eat noodles!" Zhou Dongyu was the first to respond.

"I want to be spicy!" Zhao Wei said.

"I want to eat big meat noodles. Zhang Liang followed.

"I want sweet and sour!" Huang Xiaoming said.

"I'm going to be super spicy!" said Le Mengjia finally.

"No problem!" Ma Xiaochen responded to everyone with a smile.

"Then I'll go to the braised pork first, so that I should be able to sell it tomorrow. Zhang Liang followed.

"Chef Zhang, what dishes are we going to sell tomorrow?" Zhao Wei asked at this time.

"Casserole fish head casserole, boiled beef, braised pork rice, kung pao chicken, pineapple ancient meat, sweet and sour pork ribs. Well, that's all I've thought of for the time being!" Zhang Liang responded.

"What about you, little chef!" Zhao Wei looked at Ma Xiaochen again after finishing Zhang Liang's dishes.

"I'll make noodles, cold noodles, scallion oil noodles, oil noodles, spicy noodles, big meat noodles, Yangchun noodles, lo noodles, these are all fine, and it's not too difficult!" Ma Xiaochen first reported some noodles, thought about it and then said: "We can't all be meat dishes, right! Green vegetables, cold vegetables, there should also be some! such as colorful peel, hot and sour potato shreds, sweet and sour spinach, preserved egg tofu or something, stir-fried vegetables such as, fried cabbage, fried spinach, fried rape, fried broccoli or something, by the way, and my big apprentice's eggs and fried persimmons." ”

"Haha!"

Everyone listened quite seriously at first, but when Ma Xiaochen said it at the end, they couldn't help laughing.

"In fact, if he is a guest from our country, he can order whatever he wants, as long as there are materials, I can cook general home-cooked food!" Ma Xiaochen followed.

"Ahh

"Haha! You are provoking our Chef Zhang!" Huang Xiaoming joked.

"Haha! I said it all, I am sparse and can't threaten Brother Liang's position, but if there are many guests, if Brother Liang is alone, it will be really hard. Ma Xiaochen said with deep understanding while kneading his face.

"Haha! You kid is really good at talking!" Huang Xiaoming smiled.

"Hehe, you who don't usually cook much, you may not realize that cooking a table meal is a pleasure, but if you cook for a day, it is not enjoyment, right? Brother Liang!" Ma Xiaochen continued.

"That's right! When I used to be a chef, it was really, really hard, and it hurt everywhere at the end of the day, especially the next day. Zhang Liang was aroused by Ma Xiaochen, so he told the truth.

"How do we set the price of this dish?" Zhao Wei asked at this time.

"I think according to the price of the ingredients, it should be doubled or tripled!" Ma Xiaochen said.

"Ah, it's so dark, don't be so expensive!" Huang Xiaoming said.

"With so many dishes put together, how do you calculate the price of ingredients?" Zhao Wei asked.

"Calculate the price of the main ingredients, such as boiled beef, according to the price of one pound of beef, two to three times, if the main ingredients exceed one catty, according to the price of one kilogram. Ma Xiaochen then suggested.

"Isn't that too expensive?" said Huang Xiaoming again with a different opinion on the price.

"Brother Xiaoming, we are responsible for the fruits of our labor, if it is too cheap, it can only mean that the fruits of our labor are worthless. Ma Xiaochen said a little depressed.

The two have different concepts, Huang Xiaoming treats opening a restaurant as a game show, while Ma Xiaochen really runs him as a restaurant.

Ma Xiaochen believes that if Huang Xiaoming's method is used to run the restaurant, it is estimated that within a few days, the restaurant will have to lose money.
