Not to mention anything else, at least the decoration of this western restaurant is quite good. may look average in Miss Guo Liu and others, but for a local bun like Yan Fei, looking at the full European style, I already think it is quite good.
So at first, he had a lot of hopes, but he didn't expect the beef to come up, this so-called steak is not as good as his own ordinary beef, so he couldn't help but sigh 'Is this also called beef'.
Yan Fei's movements were too fast, and she helped the girl cut the steak and ate it in her mouth, and everyone else didn't taste it. Hearing him say this, several other people all sped up slightly, and then carefully cut a little and tasted it carefully-as for that Miss Guo Liu, she simply stopped eating it, and sat there to see how the next one would react after eating.
The bodyguard took a bite: "Not bad!"
Nana took a bite: "It seems to be a little worse than what we used to eat, but I don't feel like I'm on a business trip?"
Xu Xiaoyan is honest: "I can't eat anything, anyway, I don't feel as delicious as what he used to make......
Seeing that these three people couldn't say anything, Miss Guo Liu turned her puzzled eyes to Yan Fei, not only did she look, but the three who just spoke also stared at Yan Fei, waiting for him to comment.
Yan Fei was still a little surprised: "Can't you really eat it? This is ordinary beef, not even steak, it is the taste made with fire nitrate, so it is more tender to eat!"
"Fire Nitrate?" Miss Guo Liu immediately became vigilant. "Can you eat nitrate?"
"It's okay, just add a little bit when you cook meat, so that it tastes good!" Yan Fei said and began to eat a lot, even if it is not good, it can't be wasted, this one is much more expensive than ordinary meals.
Others don't know that he eats meat every day, and he has a monster physique, and all kinds of feelings are far beyond ordinary people. In addition, this is still a closed disciple of a chef who has been making beef for decades, and this bit of cattiness in the beef can't hide it from him at all.
In fact, if he hadn't studied cooking and had eaten beef from his own cattle farm, he might not have noticed the difference in beef.
After eating two bites, seeing that Miss Guo Liu and Nana didn't want to eat, he explained: "It's nothing, people who usually make meat like to add a little nitre. With this thing, you can lose less when making meat. For example, if beef is stewed at home, a pound of raw meat will produce five or six taels of cooked meat, and if you add something else, it can produce more than seven taels. There are not a few restaurants that add things, but they are all measured, they will not add too much, and it will not affect them if they eat. ā
This is a bit of a cattiness, except for people like Miss Guo Liu, who don't touch the spring water with their fingers, most people will have heard of it. It's very simple, one pound of beef can give you two taels of meat, and ten pounds is two pounds more. Cooked beef is more expensive than other commonly eaten meats, and the extra two catties are a lot of money!
In fact, it's good to only add a little nitrate or something, and the restaurant also has an all-purpose seasoning, whether it is to make braised meat or stewed soup, there are people who use it, which can be said to be impossible to prevent. This all-purpose spice is poppy husks. When you add this stuff to the soup and meat, it will make people want to eat it when they smell it for a long time, and the effect of attracting repeat customers is better than anything else.
Xu Xiaoyan ate two bites of beef next to her, and asked Yan Fei, "Then do you still find this shop to sell beef?"
Yan Fei was still thinking about it, so Miss Guo Liu said: "I don't think you need to bother, I guess it's useless for you to ask." ā
Xu Xiaoyan was curious: "Why? Their shop looks so magnificent, but the beef is not good, and we have good beef to deliver to the door, isn't that just right?"
Miss Guo Liu smiled silently, and gestured to Nana, and Nana began to speak: "This restaurant has not just opened, since they didn't plan to use authentic good beef at the beginning, it was the idea of targeting public customers." You see that some people are obviously just like us, they are just here, and they only order after reading the price list, if it is changed to your beef, the price is high, will there be anyone?"
Seeing that the two of them didn't understand, she explained more: "The positioning of this hotel is for tourists and local petty bourgeoisie, if the price is too high, tourists will think that they are ripping off customers, and the consumption level of these ordinary petty bourgeoisie groups cannot be reached." It is estimated that after the price increase, there will be a lot fewer customers here, and once the attendance rate of a restaurant as large as theirs cannot keep up, business will get worse and worse. If you want to regain your reputation, you are in danger of losing money, so we don't think that the decision-makers of restaurants will easily change the beef and raise the price. ā
Yan Fei only roughly understood when he heard this, and asked, "What is the passenger load factor?" Is it the attendance rate?"
Nana explained: "It's the attendance. You also know that if a restaurant is full of 10 empty seats, the stranger will think that the food in the restaurant must be good, and would rather wait a while to eat here. If there are only one or two guests in the ten seats, others will think that there must be something wrong with the hotel when they see so many empty seats. Do you always understand this? In fact, this is the herd mentality of the consumer group. ā
"Uh-huh, understood!" Yan Fei nodded.
In fact, this truth is really simple, and most people have this psychology when they eat. Therefore, hotels with good business will get better and better in the early stage, and hotels with bad business at the beginning are basically difficult to turn over and make a profit.
"Then why can they exchange beef for the restaurant in the provincial capital that we are supplying now?" Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask on the side.
"That restaurant is different from this one, and that gringo already knows other gringos. There is also the female boss, she should also be in a big business, and she knows a lot of rich people. Besides, just that small restaurant, just bring some guests at random, and the guest rate will be high!" Yan Fei didn't need Nana to explain this question, after all, he dealt with gringos at the beginning, and he still knew a lot about the situation of that hotel.
It's just that Yan Fei wants to do something, he has always been unwilling to give up when he arrives in the Yellow River, and after eating his steak in three or two bites, he called a waiter to take him to their boss.
The boss here is not there, but a middle-aged manager. When I first saw Yan Fei, a trace of disdain flashed in my eyes, and I didn't even believe that I heard that his beef could be sold to Xiangjiang.
Thanks to the fact that the salesman has not yet been as much as he will be in the future, there are more catkins and poplars flying in the sky at the turn of spring and summer, so the manager can still patiently give Yan Fei a chance to explain.
Since he didn't believe it, Yan Fei didn't take out the contract, and directly told him that the three people who were eating out were customers from Xiangjiang. Now the manager finally believed it.
It's a pity that even if you believe that his beef is good, it's useless. As soon as he heard the price at which Yan Fei sold the beef to the gringos, the manager immediately couldn't bear it, not to mention that the price of selling it to Xiangjiang was higher, and Yan Fei didn't even mention it.
After being stunned for a long time, the manager stood up, probably thinking that although this young man was not dressed well, he could sell beef to the provincial city of Xiangjiang, and at such a price, he could be regarded as a successful person.
The attitude is also different from the lukewarm just now, and he said enthusiastically: "That's it! You leave a contact information first, for the time being, we will definitely not easily replace the beef, leave a contact information first, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate in the future!"
But this last enthusiasm was useless, Yan Fei left a phone pager number and left. In this situation, he doesn't know that it's okay to stay any longer, then he's really stupid!
Yan Fei was still a little depressed when he went out, but the manager of the family still stood up and sent him out, plus his negative emotions have always been fast and faster, and when he returned to his seat, he smiled.
The people at the table were curious, especially Nana, who had been analyzing for a long time just now, and thought that he had some good news, so they were embarrassed to speak. It was the bodyguard driver, because he was familiar with him at the wine table at noon, and said, "Brother Yan, is there good news?"
Yan Fei: "No!"
"Huh?" Three of the four people were depressed, and it didn't look like you hadn't done it!
Xu Xiaoyan still knows him better, and knows that this guy just went with the idea of hitting a pole with and without dates, and he talked about it, which is called luck, and he can't talk about it. smiled and said to the three puzzled people: "Ignore him, he is like this." ā
Yan Fei nodded: "Mmmm!"
None of the three of them could understand what these two people said? What does it mean?
Just stuff your head and finish eating and leave!
Walking on the streets at night after eating, several people are a little lazy. As I walked, I saw a small stall with trinkets on one side and some books on the other.
Originally, several people were not interested, but there were two student-looking people next to the booth, holding books and bargaining. When she accidentally heard the price, Miss Guo Liu became interested: "Why are the books here so cheap?"
After being surprised, I realized a little: "It's pirated, right? Let's go and take a look! I followed them last time I came, and I didn't have time to go shopping!"
Yan Fei was not interested, and said casually: "You are such a rich person, and you still buy pirated copies to watch?"
"What do you know!" Miss Guo Liu pulled Xu Xiaoyan towards that side while making excuses for herself. "I'm poor now, and I spent more than 200,000 yuan to renovate a restaurant, do you know how to save money now?"
Yan Fei muttered, "I'm curious that people like you actually read books?"
"Why can't I read!" Miss Guo Liu felt that she was being underestimated. "I'm also a student at the University of Hong Kong, okay?"
"Are you still a college student?" Yan Fei is really not ordinary curiosity now, this person doesn't look like a student no matter how he looks at it!
