Chapter 24: Legends of Fame
One taste knows the five flavors, one meal knows the rise and fall!
Jian Fan, who degraded Jiuding Seafood House to worthlessness in a few words, has always made Jiang Jiuding feel guilty. If you want to talk about qualifications, you have been in the hotel industry for ten years, starting from taking over the family's hotel business, two stars and a three-star, although not an industry leader, but you also have a place in the provincial capital Dayuan. At the age of 30, the brand of Jiuding Seafood House, specially invited from Fujian, has been booming for a year or two, even if the market is weak and the management is not good, but relying on the shadow of the parents' generation, it is no problem to maintain it. I have been thinking about the operation or transformation of this seafood for a long time, and I have not been able to find a way to apply to myself, my sister said, Jiang Jiuding is just a kid who will come with the mentality of trying to look at it, and he will come and go, but what he didn't expect was that he was scolded by a kid who didn't dry up, and he uncovered the scars, which was really embarrassing!
In order to confirm Jian Fan's words, Jiang Jiuding also consulted the chef in the store for this matter, and specially tasted the soup flavored by slow simmering and pressure cooker, but after tasting and tasting, he still couldn't distinguish the subtle difference, not to mention himself, even a few senior nutritionists in the Holiday Inn couldn't taste it;
At this time, Jiang Jiuding's surprised mood became a little heavier, and three phone calls a day urged his sister to contact the two living treasures.
This person is a slut, if anyone says good things to his face, maybe he can't remember it at all, but if anyone gives him a slap in the face, he will never forget it in his life. Jiang Jiuding belonged to this situation, and even Jiang Dijia couldn't understand his mentality, but after explaining that his brother really wanted to have a good exchange with the children of this chef family, he reluctantly agreed!
The problem came, when Jiang Dijia turned around and was about to contact Jian Fan, he found that he had given him two business cards, and Jian Fan had never called him at all, and he didn't know Jian Fan's contact information at all......... It doesn't matter, there is also the fat man's phone, as soon as I contacted Fei Fatzi, I learned that the two of them went to Mianshan to play, and after Mianshan finished playing, they went to Qiao's compound again;
Perhaps it was a woman's reserve and sense of superiority that was at work, Jiang Dijia always thought that Jian Fan would take the initiative to contact him when he knew that he was looking for him. In the few times that Oolong faced, the admiration in Jian Fan's eyes, no matter how stupid the woman was, she could see that if there was no color in a man's eyes, he would not be called a man. However, Jiang Dijia is faintly not disgusted, and the very handsome little handsome guy also appreciates himself so much, of course, he only has his own share.
It's a pity that this time it was miscalculated again. contacted Fei Shiqing three times, knowing that Jian Fan and Fei Shiqing were together, and knowing that he was looking for it, Jian Fan was pretending to be stupid, as if waiting for him to take the initiative to contact. Yes, this forced Jiang Dijia to put down the shelf, and when he took Jian Fan's mobile phone number for the last time and was about to pull it out, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and even a little unspeakable.
That night, the once sunny big boy was so strong and aggressive all of a sudden, and then recalled, maybe his face was really bad, maybe the food was adulterated, maybe his brother's performance was too depressing, and he lost a mouth lawsuit, which made Jiang Dijia feel a little ashamed in his heart, after all, in Oolong Fei Shiqing and Jian Fan both treated themselves as fairies, and now, it seems that even Fei Fat Man is deliberately alienated from himself.
After a few thoughts, Jiang Dijia retreated and cautiously sent a text message: [Jian Fan, I'm Jiang Dijia, are you convenient? If it's convenient, I have something to talk to you about. 】
The text message went out and received a reply the next day, three words: [Inconvenient!]
Jiang Dijia was stimulated again, not without a little annoyance. Patiently, he still regarded it as Jian Fan's child's heart, and sent a message more politely: [Are you still angry with my brother? If there is anything inconsiderate, I apologize on his behalf. 】
This text message was replied quickly, and it was received in less than a minute: [Isn't it? It seems that it should be your brother who is angry, right?]
The narrowness and schadenfreude in the words could be heard, Jiang Dijia took this reason and went straight to the point, and sent another text message: [Listen to the tone, you are not angry, that's good, my brother is now very interested in traditional iron pot stew, he asked me to make an appointment with you, is it convenient for you to meet and talk?]
After a long time, Jiang Dijia received a text message that made her cry and laugh: [Sorry! The user you dialed is not in the service area and cannot receive your text message!......... At the back, there is a smile drawn by the symbol, a very narrow smile, like a mockery.........
Needless to say, Jiang Dijia immediately thought that the person who sent the text message was deliberately playing tricks on himself.
This smiling face greatly stimulated Jiang Jia again, from childhood to adulthood, only he refused the invitation of others, and it was the first time he was rejected!
Forget it, calling and texting again will seem too cheap............... Jiang Dijia put this matter down!
……………………………
……………………………
My sister put it down, but my brother couldn't let it go.
Jiang Jiuding's curiosity is becoming more and more aroused, because of Jian Fan and his sister, coupled with the fact that a group of friends around him are talking about how good the stew in the old pot is, he can't hold back, and he really sent four people from the company's planning department to carefully find out the small and medium-sized restaurant places that the provincial capital had ignored before, and the main target was the public stew. This market area originally had nothing to do with Jiuding Catering, which was developing to the middle and high-end, and it has always been a blank. Jiang Jiuding even personally took people into the famous public iron pot stew in Xicheng to taste.
The taste is acceptable, the soup is also delicious, and the popular food has always been a taste that is not greasy. The most eye-catching thing is that there is an endless stream of customers, according to the squatting point of market researchers, this kind of public restaurant customers can last from 10 o'clock in the morning to 22 o'clock in the evening, and even continuous customers in the middle.
According to the news dug back by these market spies, a such medium-sized, traditional stew in the province is the main cuisine of the restaurant investment of more than 300,000 yuan, the recovery period of the funds is not more than two years, and then a little smaller, the location is a little better, a few months can recover the cost, the largest public iron pot stew business area is only 200 square meters, and the business has been 12 years, it is said that the hotel also moved once in the middle of the road did not affect the booming business.
Jiang Jiuding's interest in traditional iron pot stew is getting stronger and stronger!
In recent years, restaurants and other markets have generally been surging, with Sichuan, Luwei, hot pot, seafood, and shabu-shabu opening hundreds of shops in the provincial capital, and even a nest of Fengdi Western food to join in the fun. Among them, there are many big stores that invest millions of dollars at every turn, and they have set off a big and small trend, which can really be said to be a dark horse in the market, each leading the way for hundreds of days. It's almost all booming for a while, and then it's weakened, and it's been bleak, and it's even disappeared and closed down!
For the people of Dayuan, who are accustomed to eating noodles and steamed buns, raw seafood, spicy and salty, may not be as comfortable as radish and cabbage!
In these things, Jiang Jiuding didn't find much tension in the tradition, but he was surprised, in terms of cost and benefit, stew, is actually a huge profit, a traditional roasted three fresh pot stew, fungus fresh mushroom daylily, the cost is five or six yuan can be sold for more than 30 yuan, this is to calculate the proportion of income, and seafood is about the same;
After all, one thing is understood, these people are the ones who make a lot of money quietly. The small bosses in their own circles who are full of scenery may owe the banks and shareholders much money? And this kind of low-key shopkeeper, it seems that it is trivial to save hundreds of thousands of dollars at home. That money is not in Jiang Jiuding's eyes, but think about it again, it is clear to compare the advantages and disadvantages of buying so much from scratch and relying on the shadow of the previous generation to make money.
I was surprised, and what happened next was even more surprising.
In the planning department, the last investigation of the representative thirteen restaurants with stewed dishes as the main dish, there is a detail that attracted Jiang Jiuding's attention, more than half of the chefs are from Oolong County, and then ask the next question, and only after an explanation can I understand that Shanbei Province has always had "apricot blossom wine, oolong kitchen; Qingxu vinegar gourd" One said, this Wulong County is a poor mountain and poor land, when there were not enough people to flee the famine to go to the west exit, the characteristics of the people in Wulong County are the most obvious, a big black pot at the back of the mouth, go that and eat that, over time, the reputation of the people and the oolong pot in Wulong County is getting bigger and bigger, and being a cook has become the first ambition of the famine escapees, how many years have been precipitated, but they have become talented as cooks outside, and even those who have made a fortune. The next generation will teach again, teach and teach, and teach a nest of masters.
So there are often such wonders, a shop is a girl washing vegetables and washing rice, and the son is carrying a spoon and his father is sitting in the pot, and this kind of shop is everywhere in oolong, and it is almost the same in the provincial capital, at most there are a few more guys, and the essence has not changed.
It has been passed down for several generations, this Oolong County has become a place where chefs come out in large numbers, there are more cooks, there is no fear of not being able to produce elites, almost, open a small shop to support their families; a better one enters the star-rated hotel chef, it is said that in the National Chef Competition, the white case master who pulls 3,000 noodles, the roots are as thin as hair, and can pass the eye of a needle, his ancestral home is also in Oolong.
This matter has been discussed from the office to the market analysis meeting, the catering industry, most of them are greedy, but there are many people who have tasted stew, when the meeting was discussed, several middle-level managers sent out of the mouth of the first pot of oolong, a careful inquiry to know, this more than half of the oolong kitchen almost half of the have been in the oolong county iron pot stew shop as a buddy, even if not as a buddy, have also been to oolong to learn from experience, one of the most famous is oolong first pot!
Well, after a big detour and back to the same place, Jiang Jiuding was a little distracted at the company's routine market analysis meeting, and only then did he feel that he really underestimated this inconspicuous iron pot stew.
Jiang Jiuding looked at this matter from the perspective of his businessman, that is, the kind of eyes that could reflect the RMB, and always felt that he had vaguely grasped something, but it was still very vague, so he tried his best to persuade his sister to go to Oolong with him. Jian Fan is not Jian Fan is second, it is really the traditional iron pot stew that makes him a little to listen to it!
When I went, I was still a little disapproving, wasn't it just a pot of soup? Isn't it just radish and green vegetables and tofu? Could it be that it is really better than abalone and sea cucumber?
This matter, stumbling, when the brother and sister traveled together again, it was already half a month later.
