Chapter 644: Novel Food is Expensive (2)
"Absolutely good taste" This shop is very expensive, and I don't know what kind of status it occupies in the minds of the students of Chang'an Women's School, so Qian Rujun really wants to know.
Moreover, in this shop, although Qian Rujun thinks the food is delicious, he is not sure about the taste of the Han people.
After all, there is a big difference in a person's tastes, so this time it can be regarded as a test. If the effect is not good, Qian Rujun estimates that after opening this store for a month, they will close their doors.
After all, whether a store is good or not, you can know in the first month.
For a restaurant with excellent food, if you can't attract repeat customers and can't get customers to take the initiative to promote you, it can basically be said to be a failure.
These seven or eight students of the women's academy, although they have not eaten it, they have all heard of it, which means that the reputation is good outside.
Basically, when they recommended this store, Qian Rujun already had confidence in the "absolutely good taste".
But Qian Rujun still wants to know more clearly what kind of evaluation these tastes have on the female students of Xuetang Island.
After all, they had only heard of it before, but had never actually eaten it.
"Absolutely good taste" sells not more high-end food, but "specialty". The specialty of food is that it is a two-sided blade, and those who can eat it dare to eat will find it delicious.
The level of deliciousness that you can't eat can be improved.
Because the ingredients are not easy to obtain, it is impossible for Qian Rujun to let a dish appear for a long time.
With its rarity, it's worth the price.
Qian Rujun studied the best food in later generations, and it is estimated that this is all there is.
However, this is inevitably mixed with Qian Rujun's own tastes, and in terms of food, there is a sentence that can best show its characteristics, and it is difficult to reconcile.
The ingredients given by Qian Rujun are limited. It's sold out and gone. However, so far, there has been no case of the ingredients being sold out, which means that there is still room for improvement in the business of this store.
"Absolutely Good Taste" sells ten products every month, and it is not repeated every month.
These ten products are all a complete set of set meals, which means that the way to eat in this place is the same as the tradition of Dahan, because Dahan is used to one table per person, while most of the restaurants in the women's school are four people per table, and the amount of dishes is also based on four people.
The method of presentation of meals is more similar to that of the West, with soups and fruits, desserts, drinks, main dishes, and meals.
For the Han people, this method of expression is more peculiar, but it conforms to the rules of eating.
The main dishes are different, and the drinks and desserts are selective, but there are not many varieties in the room.
Qian Rujun got this business concept from the Xidi steak she used to go to according to the memories of her previous life.
"I'm telling you, the menu changes every month. You haven't eaten it this month, and you'll never have a chance to eat it again, and missing it is missing it. ”
"Doesn't that mean I've missed a lot of stuff last month?
You feel annoyed, that's right! The corners of Qian Rujun's mouth raised, and he smiled silently.
Qian Rujun runs the "Absolutely Good Taste" restaurant with heart, and the chef of this store is divided into two shifts, one shift, and is responsible for the kitchen for a month.
Before they were in charge of the kitchen for a month, they had to go to Qian Rujun for a month of training, of course, it was not Qian Rujun who was responsible for teaching them how to cook, but Qian Rujun would invite the Jin Mai Cheng cooking professor to come over and teach them how to cook.
This year, the culinary professor concentrated on teaching them here in Chang'an.
That is, next month's chef is training, and this month's chef is going to train next month.
These chefs are not brainwashed because even if they can make these dishes, they can't do it without the ingredients.
They are trained, and they have a number of ingredients for their business. And the price is particularly expensive.
They asked for a hundred taels of silver for a set meal. So this meal, these seven or eight people, will use up her eight hundred taels of silver.
The professor of cooking is not that he can teach it out of thin air, but Qian Rujun will send her detailed cheats, and actually operate them to confirm that the recipes are feasible.
As for the chefs, all of them are women.
Since Qian Rujun started this kind of business in Dahan, there have been a lot of job opportunities for women in Dahan.
These culinary professors confirmed that each person only had 100 recipes, which was not too much, and after half a year, Qian Rujun would sort out another 100 recipes and send them to the culinary professors, if the restaurant continued to open.
Because Qian Rujun not only has to find recipes that are good and delicious, but also has to produce these ingredients at the same time. It is necessary to plan ahead.
After entering the "absolutely good taste", the maid quickly greeted her, delicious food, and good service to make people feel welcome.
In this part, "absolutely good taste" is done very well.
The maid welcomed them into a private room and brought them a paper menu.
Paper has penetrated into the world of the Han Dynasty, but it is not yet available to the poor.
Moreover, on the side of Chang'an, it is mainly the world of the paper mill of the prince Liu Wu.
The people under the prince are naturally elites, although they are relatively immature, and they don't even have a concept, but the speed of their improvement is still quite fast, so the paper produced is getting better and better year by year, but, compared with Qian Rujun's Jinmaicheng Paper Mill, it is more than a little weaker, especially the noble paper, almost all of which are produced by Qian Rujun's side, and the prince Liu Wu can't compare at all.
Because, the appearance of paper exists too much in Qian Rujun's mind, and any one of them can promote innovation.
The paper menu taken out by the maid is the highest-grade paper of Qian Rujun's Jinmaicheng Paper Mill, and the words on it are the works of the most senior copyists in Jinmaicheng.
It's already art.
For these seven or eight wealthy women, this menu makes them feel a noble and elegant, low-key and luxurious atmosphere more than the decoration of the elegant room, and it is almost a pavement for them.
"What is this?"
There are Chang'an locals who are used to the existence of paper, and there are also outsiders who have never seen paper, so that this kind of person is almost extinct after living in Chang'an Women's School for a day.
In other stores, there are many things that use paper.
For the things in the hands of the maids, in fact, the main difference should be that the menu is "absolutely delicious".
For books, the Han people have an inexplicable reverence.
So when I saw that the maid gave a menu, everyone held it respectfully.
"Don't put on that expression, this is just the menu of this store, haven't you seen it?
Qian Rujun said.
"Make menus out of paper, not wood or bamboo slips, it's so advanced!"
"Fortunately, paper is not expensive in Jinmai City. Of course, this kind of high-grade paper is a little different. Qian Rujun said.
"I've heard of Golden Wheat City, it's quite far away. I heard that it was the princess's fiefdom. It's rich and prosperous. ”
"The paper he uses is so comfortable, like silk. You touch it, and it feels like a baby's skin. ”
"Then why didn't you think it was silk?" asked Qian Rujun deliberately.
"I hate it, you're deliberately looking for trouble!"
Sometimes a girl can't listen to the surface, and many times she says it like this, but the meaning is the opposite.
The girl seemed to be very dissatisfied when she said this, but her tone was already and she felt closer to Qian Rujun.
For these girls, the dishes in the menu are almost literal, and they don't even know whether the meat is or the vegetables inside, but they also think that these names are very elegant and good-sounding.
It's just that these names are too unintuitive, so that they don't understand them.
Fortunately, there are drawings of dishes attached to these texts, and they are color pictures.
Because of these pictures, this recipe can fetch a very high price if it is put up for auction.
Some restaurants will even wonder if they can take these recipes and make the dishes inside just like that.
This is a very possible thing, because although the quality of the meat is different, it is actually relatively simple to make the dish look similar, otherwise there would be no such thing as vegetarian meat.
"We don't know what it is, even if we look at the pictures and think it's delicious, we don't know what it is. ”
The maids were next to them, but these rich ladies ignored the existence of the maids, and said to themselves, maybe in their lives, if there is no way to ignore the existence of these maids, it is estimated that they will do nothing.
"I don't even understand what kind of food is here. This shop is really good at playing. "This girl's voice feels very sad.
"We all know the price, it's really expensive!"
Qian Rujun deliberately pretended not to know the situation of ordering food in this restaurant, and said: "What's so difficult, you can order two dishes by yourself." I've heard that the food here isn't all for the whole number of people?"
These girls haven't been here either, and they're not very clear about this content.
"We don't have the stomach to eat so much food!"
Although these seven or eight girls are wealth women, they are not top wealth women, so they do not have the habit of wasting when eating.
They have to leave more money for their families to develop. A woman will never be the most important core of this family, if it is not for the absence of a man in the family, how can a woman have a bright future!
If, in order to be reused by the family, it must be far superior to the other male heirs.
At this time, after the grand meal of the opening ceremony, their stomachs were already very full, and at most one more dish could be stuffed in, and they could already be eaten.
"Then there are fourteen dishes, no, and myself! Hehehe! plus I have sixteen dishes. ”
In terms of the amount of food in your Han Dynasty, it was very plump. Whether they can eat it or not is a big question.
Qian Rujun knew in his heart that they would never be able to finish eating.
Sometimes, that's it, there's a lot of food in front of you, but there's no stomach to eat.
At this time, I thought of the mall and saw the opportunity, but I found that I didn't have the strength to take the opportunity.
"We don't think we can eat that much. ”
"That's right, eating too much food will only make it unpalatable. I can't taste it. ”
Qian Rujun was very satisfied with the wealth women in front of him, they were not too greedy, and they knew where their strength was bounded.
"Then let's order a dish for everyone!" Qian Rujun said.
The maids wanted to interject, but they held back, and according to the rules, they were not allowed to speak until the guests decided to order.
"That's still too much. Why don't you order five dishes by yourself, and let's all taste the taste. ”
The person who spoke had a thought, first, he was really not hungry, and second, he really didn't know how to order, and wanted to see how others ordered.
"You're afraid it's too big, it's not easy. Qian Rujun deliberately said: "Since this is a very high-end restaurant, then it must be able to meet the needs of customers, if we ask, each dish only needs to be divided by one person, and then we eight people will divide it, and the amount of each person will not be large." ”
"That's a good idea, so be it!"
The maid listened to it for a long time, and she was almost unable to hold it back.
None of them looked at the menu closely. This is not the store they are familiar with. Looks like we need to explain it to them.
"You're wrong again. This shop is different from other Chang'an Women's School stores. Although it is the same high chair and table for four, the dishes here are set in one. ”
"yes! I've forgotten what people have told about the rules here. So what to do?"
"Trouble, you can just order a set meal by yourself, you can't finish eating, just ask for takeout. Qian Rujun suggested.
After coming to Dahan for so long, she more or less knew that other people's concept of treating maids was to turn a blind eye, so she deliberately didn't ask the maids if such a thing was okay.
Let them find out that in fact, such a restaurant is the fastest to ask the maid about the rules of the store.
Because in such a shop, you have to cooperate with his rules, not obey your rules.
However, Qian Rujun still projected his eyes on the maid, and at this time, it would be wrong to let the maid pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"That's a great idea! If you pay anyway, if it doesn't work, we don't have anything to lose, but if it does, we'll have a good dinner." ”
"Order, tell me about your rules, and what we want to do, is it feasible?"
"Basically, we can take out here. Even if you haven't used the food, you can take it out. But one person is limited to one serving. Avoid waste. ”
The maid gave a brief introduction to the rules of the shop and a few things to know, including a few small advertisements.
Next, it's finally time to order.
At this time, they knew that they had been troubled in vain just now, and the maids had quite specific introductions to the dishes inside.
It is estimated that from the conversation just now, she already knows that these two tables of people are probably coming for the first time, and they don't understand anything.
She is very skillful in guiding everyone to order.
Qian Rujun noticed that she asked everyone to order more average dishes.
This helps you a little bit in the kitchen.
