The pieces of meat in the crockpot are cut into squares, fist-sized squares, red and tempting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Mang picked up a small dish in front of him with chopsticks and looked closer.

The pieces of meat in the dish were shiny and divided into five layers of fat and thin, and when you gently slapped the table with your hand, the pieces of meat trembled and trembled.

"Not bad! The heat is in place!" Liu Mang praised.

Hearing Liu Mang's praise, Zhu Daming's face was very happy, and he was very useful.

'Dongpo meat' and 'Dongpo elbow' were both named Mr. Dongpo's name, so the world thought that these two dishes were invented by him, but in fact, they were not.

'Dongpo elbow' is a Sichuan dish, it is rumored that Su Dongpo's wife Wang Fu, when stewing elbows at home, due to a moment of negligence, the elbows are browned and sticky to the pot, she hurriedly added various ingredients and then cooked carefully to hide the burnt taste.

Unexpectedly, the yellowish elbow tasted unexpectedly good, and Su Dongpo was suddenly happy.

Su Dongpo not only repeatedly concocted it himself and left a record, but also vigorously promoted it to relatives and friends. As a result, the 'Dongpo elbow' has been handed down.

And "Dongpo meat" is Su Dongpo when he was the governor of Xuzhou, when he was fighting against the flood, he used to give gifts to the victims and invented the dish, at that time it was also called "return meat", which is an authentic Zhejiang dish.

Although the name is similar, the two dishes are not only divided into two cuisines, but also have different recipes.

'Dongpo elbow' should be simmered first and then steamed, while 'Dongpo meat' should be steamed first and then simmered, so that the fat in the fat meat can be precipitated, so that the dish is soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy.

Liu Mang looked at the bright red and agate-like pieces of meat on the plate, and gently pulled it with chopsticks.

Without the slightest force, the piece of meat was like a lump of jelly, and he pulled it and ripped off a large piece.

"Well, fat but not greasy, sweet and salty, fragrant sauce!" Liu Mang exclaimed while eating.

"Haha! Master Liu Mang, then this 'Dongpo meat' of mine doesn't need to be improved, right?" Zhu Daming laughed.

"Yes!" Liu Mang swallowed the piece of meat and replied.

"And?" Zhu Daming was stunned and froze there: "Is there anything else to change?"

"Master Zhu, your 'Dongpo Meat' can indeed be regarded as a successful dish. But you can also eat it in other restaurants, and there is nothing special about it. Liu Mang said lightly.

"However, this is how Dongpo meat is cooked, can there be anything special?" Zhu Daming asked in surprise.

"Yes, you're using a string to tie up the pieces of meat now, right?" said Liu Mang, pointing to the Dongpo meat on the plate with chopsticks.

"That's right!"

"Next time, I will replace the rice wine with the aged flower carving, and the string with fresh straw. ”

"Huh, is there any difference?"

"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded: "The taste of aged Huadiao is more mellow than that of rice wine, and it can better remove the greasy feeling of meat." Bundling Dongpo meat with straw is the most authentic method, which can infiltrate the flavor of straw into the dish and give the meat a hint of herbaceous fragrance. ”

"Really?" When Zhu Daming heard this, his heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to try it immediately, so he immediately instructed his assistant to find some fresh straw.

His assistant, a young man, answered and walked out.

But as soon as he walked out of the kitchen door, he immediately folded back and said with a wry smile: "Master, it's winter now, where to find fresh straw!"

"Uh, I made a mistake!" Liu Mang patted his head: "It's not particularly fresh and barely available, I remember that the restaurant is not far from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, there should be a lot of them in the experimental field, you go to the doorman to ask for something, talk to the student, people will give it to you." ”

"What are we going to do with the cooking after that? Straw doesn't come all year round. Shan Jian asked.

"It doesn't matter, the straw is not easy to break, so collect more in the future and put it in the freezer, and it can be supplied." ”

"Liu Mang, how are you going to order the pricing of the menu?" asked Li Ruonan.

"I don't know this very well, do you have an opinion?"

"Generally speaking, the price of dishes in ordinary restaurants is three times the cost, five times that of high-end restaurants, and ten times higher in well-known restaurants. Li Ruonan replied.

"Ah, how much profit there is?" Liu Mang was taken aback by the price.

In the final analysis, in terms of opening a store, he is also a rookie who has just entered the industry, and he doesn't know how much profit there is.

"You think too much! I didn't include taxes, labor, and other things, but generally the profits of the Four Seasons Pavilion are about ten times, which is quite low. Like Manhanlou, they sell a dish 20 times upward, and the cost price of a dish is about 1,000, so they dare to sell it for more than 20,000 to 30,000!"

"It's so dark!" Five Eyes sighed: "This is simply a huge profit!"

"It's nothing, people have that fame. Besides, the top restaurants are all invited celebrity chefs, and their salaries are not much higher than those of ordinary chefs?

"Well, that's right!" As soon as he said this, Wuyan was relieved: "Eldest sister, how much is the appropriate price for the dishes in our restaurant?"

"We have a chef in charge, so the price can't be lower! I think it's 30 times the price of the dish!"

"In other words, if the ingredients used in an egg fried rice are ten yuan, then we will sell it for three hundred?"

"That's right!" Li Ruonan nodded.

"No!" Liu Mang on the side refused: "The price is too high!

"Liu Mang, how can you be considered a slaughterer?" Li Ruonan retorted: "This is how to do business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." Believe me, this price is not high at all, just by virtue of your name as a kitchen god, there are a lot of diners who are willing to pay out, and there are many more rich people in this world than you think!"

"I know that there are people who are willing to spend money to eat, and I never worry about running out of business, and I know that those dignitaries and nobles will not care about a little money. However, this goes against the idea in my heart, I am a chef, not a black-hearted businessman!"

"Idea, what idea?"

"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy! The real food belongs to the people of the world, not for a few powerful people!"

Liu Mang puffed up his chest, proudly silent, and read out the words he had said.

"Liu Mang, feelings can't be eaten as food! Why don't you earn money if you have money? If a person doesn't have the ability, of course he can't enjoy the beautiful things in this world!" Li Ruonan was very puzzled by this.

But there must be some people in this world who are willing to stick to their own hearts and do not want to drift with the flow of materialism, right?"

"How much is the right price?"

"I think it's the same as the Four Seasons Pavilion, it's about ten times, after all, I can't treat the masters and employees who follow me badly. ”

"But in this way, our profits are not so high, and the pace of expansion of the country is much slower. ”

"You're wrong, I've read a lot of introductions to the world's top restaurants during this time, and I found an interesting thing. Liu Mang said.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know if you have noticed, some of the top restaurants have very high prices, but they don't make as much money as you think. The two most profitable are McDonald's and KFC, the two major restaurant giants. ”

"Well, I've studied it a long time ago, because although there are a lot of rich people, they don't have a high base of ordinary people, do you want the restaurant to take the civilian route? But this is too wasteful of your title as a kitchen god!" Li Ruonan couldn't help but ask.

"There's no waste, I'm just talking about the ordinary dishes in the restaurant. Liu Mang laughed: "If I made it myself, the price would be more than 100 times! Aren't they rich? Just spend more! I don't like to eat or not! It will also save me a lot of trouble!"

"Ah......!!!" (To be continued.) )
