Chapter 8: Pineapple Rice

However, Ma Xiaochen saw that the price that Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming finally discussed, but in the main ingredients, only less than doubled the price, and then heard that Huang Xiaoming wanted to send this for a while, and when he wanted to send that for a while, he finally couldn't help it, and said: "Store manager, your price is really making me lose my motivation to work." ”

"But I think this is already very expensive, I just went to look at other restaurants, and they are cheaper than us. Huang Xiaoming opened his mouth to object.

"Brother Xiaoming, after all, we only work for 20 days, we don't need to plan for the future, if you want to work for a long time, we can be cheaper, you can also discount, send things, and lose a period of time to retain customers. ”

"But have you ever thought that most of the people who come here are tourists, they just like it, and how many times can they eat with us? And if you go out to play, very few people will choose only one restaurant, who doesn't want to try other flavors? Besides, we can't compare with the locals in many places, such as the purchase channel or something, and some other things, it is not convenient to talk here. Ma Xiaochen explained helplessly, but seeing that Huang Xiaoming was still a little unconvinced, he continued to explain: "This is not a city, I think the customers who come here to eat are not here because of our price, the main first glance is to see if the environment here is distinctive." If they choose to stay, it's time to see our Brother Liang's cooking skills, if it is not done well, the things are cheap, and no one will eat them, if they do it well, it is more expensive, and there will be people waiting in line. ”

In fact, not only the big places of the hotel should be saved, but even places such as water and electricity will find ways to save.

Because the water and electricity bills are also negotiable, they are at least twice as expensive as the ordinary ones.

There are also ingredients, and some other consumables, will choose the cheapest kind, such as soybean oil, not to mention gutter oil, but will not buy too good oil, and for example, for vegetables oil, which restaurant will throw it away once, which is not used to use.

In fact, Ma Xiaochen calmed down and thought about it, and also understood Huang Xiaoming a little, when Ma Xiaochen did business for the first time, he was also like him, he was afraid that things would be expensive, and he forgot a lot of other costs, but he added a little price to the cost price of ingredients, and the more he sold, the more he lost, and finally almost lost all the capital.

This is also one of the main reasons why Ma Xiaochen didn't hold back and spoke again, and the other reason was that he didn't want everyone to be too tired, just a few tables a day.

In fact, it is difficult to do business as a newcomer, Ma Xiaochen has also sold fruits or something before, but later found out that he really can't do those chain fruit stores.

They are all purchased in a unified manner, and there are special warehouses for storage, so the prices are very cheap, and there are special fruits, which are even cheaper than Ma Xiaochen's purchase price.

In fact, everything is not so simple, it requires a process of learning experience.

"That's right, if it's too cheap, we really can't survive, we have to survive!" Zhang Liang said.

"We can't just count the cost of the dish, the price you think of is only the cost of the dish, and the only money you have is made, and the rest is not calculated. Zhao Wei remembered Ma Xiaochen's theory and said.

"We also have special characteristics here! How beautiful the songs sung by Master Xiaochen! They can hear them in other places, everywhere, and they are all new songs, if it were me, even if it was expensive and the things were ordinary, I would be willing to eat here!" Le Mengjia actually said at this time.

"Haha! look, your little apprentice has confessed to you!" Zhao Wei joked.

"Haha!" everyone laughed when they saw this.

In fact, if you want to talk about the level of cooking of everyone, they are still a lot different from real super chefs, which is not only the gap in cooking skills.

But this can't be blamed on them, their equipment here is not good, such as the pot for stir-frying, the pot in the real restaurant, is big and thin, so that the stir-fry will be heated quickly and evenly, and the fire for cooking is not hot enough, so the heat of the stir-fried dish will be much worse.

However, Ma Xiaochen and the others also ate at the house next to them just now, and the things they made there were not very good, that is, the level of the roadside stalls.

Huang Xiaoming saw that everyone was against the price being too low, so he could only give up his own ideas, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaochen continued to enlighten: "Brother Xiaoming, we don't make a restaurant to compare prices with them, as long as we do it with our hearts, I think we are worthy of ourselves and the customers who eat." ”

"You think their stuff is cheap, but a lot of things that are clearly priced are very expensive. ”

"For example, they sell bottled water, we buy 15 baht a bottle, and they sell 51 bottles. ”

"That's why? That's their real profit, and if we cook the same dish, they're going to cost a lot less than us, so it's cheaper." ”

"What's more, we make authentic Chinese cuisine, why should our Chinese cuisine be cheaper than theirs!haha!"

Huang Xiaoming was no longer entangled when he saw this, Ma Xiaochen's last sentence was really heart-wrenching when it looked like a joke!

The group then rewrote a new menu, but the price was not increased much, probably half of the price just now, and after everyone finished cleaning, they began to return to their accommodation.

"Hehe, who of you still want to eat?" After returning to where they lived, as soon as Ma Xiaochen entered the room, he asked everyone a little embarrassed.

"My mother, have you eaten so much, are you hungry again?" Zhao Wei said in surprise when she heard this.

"Hehe, I belong to the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie, and I will never be full!" Ma Xiaochen laughed at himself.

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhou Dongyu was also hungry, and when he heard that Ma Xiaochen was going to make food, he couldn't help but ask.

"I brought some ingredients from the restaurant and prepared to make a pineapple rice. Ma Xiaochen said, raising the bag in his hand and said.

"Haha! I also said that you have closed the stall and are still preparing materials there, it turns out that it is for this!" Zhang Liang smiled when he saw this.

"Master, I want to eat a little, is it okay?" Le Mengjia said.

"No problem, who else wants to eat?" Ma Xiaochen then asked.

"Don't pineapples have to be cut in half? you can make two portions, and someone will definitely eat them!" Zhao Wei said.

"Ah, I was going to eat two servings, then that's good, I'll make four servings, if you can't eat it, I'll grit my teeth and eat it myself!" Ma Xiaochen said and walked to the kitchen.

After listening to Ma Xiaochen's words, everyone stopped moving, and Zhao Wei first looked confused, and asked, "Did I hear it wrong? He said that he can still eat four servings?"

"Yes, that's right!" the other four replied with somewhat sluggish expressions.

"He's right, it seems that he is really the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie! This is too edible!" Zhao Wei then said with a smile and a cry.

"Haha!" everyone laughed when they saw this.

Ma Xiaochen ignored everyone, but concentrated on cooking.

In fact, four servings is not too much, that is, four small bowls of rice, plus some other ingredients.

Ma Xiaochen made it quickly, because he had already made the other ingredients in advance, and he only needed to dig out the pineapple flesh before he could start the fire.

First of all, scrambled eggs and shrimp meat, then onions, cooked green beans, cooked peanuts, dried chilies, ham sausages, pineapple meat, these ingredients, and then start to stir-fry the rice over high heat a few times, then add some seasonings, and then put the scrambled eggs and shrimp at the beginning in the stir-fry a few times, put them in the pineapple after coming out of the pot, and sprinkle some meat floss to finish.
