Chapter 388: Jiang Wei's Humility for Advice (Part II)
So, early this morning, Jiang Wei took the initiative to come over to talk and help Bai Xiaobai unload the cooking equipment and ingredients.
Of course, Bai Xiaobai didn't know everything about Jiang Wei.
I only know that although the young man in front of me is thin, his strength is not small.
With his help, all the equipment was quickly moved to the booth.
After everything was done, Bai Xiaobai said sincerely, "Boss Jiang, thank you." β
Jiang Wei smiled lightly: "It's a small thing." β
Businessmen, they always like to chat in their spare time.
It's early in the morning, and there aren't many people coming to the food festival.
Jiang Wei continued to open the conversation and said, "Boss Bai, your cooking skills are really good, there were a lot of people who patronized your booth yesterday." β
"It's okay, I learned how to cook from my father. Bai Xiaobai never mentioned the system, but simply said that the son inherited the father's business.
When Jiang Wei heard this, he paused for a few seconds and was silent, then made up his mind and mustered up the courage to speak, "Boss Bai, I have something I want to ask you." β
Jiang Wei said seriously, Bai Xiaobai paused for a moment, and said, "Boss Jiang, you can't talk about advice, you might as well say it directly." β
As if it was a little difficult to speak, Jiang Wei paused for another two seconds, and finally spoke, "Boss Bai, can you taste the fish balls I made and give some advice." I think it's okay, but it hasn't been selling. β
It turned out to be a tasting to give advice, so what's so bad about it.
Bai Xiaobai has always been a foodie, as long as he can eat deliciously, he will not refuse to come.
"No problem, Boss Jiang, you give me a copy, and I'll give you a review. β
"Cheng, I'll make you one now. Bai Xiaobai was willing to help, Jiang Wei was very happy, he quickly returned to his booth and began to get busy.
Bai Xiaobai, Gao Chao and Lan Weihao, sorted out the things in the booth.
On the whiteboard, in addition to the clear soup noodles and clear soup powder, a new product 'Sea Dragon Steamed Dumpling King' has been added
1200 yuan per serving, no negotiation.
Bai Xiaobai just finished writing the price of the new product, and suddenly had a question in his heart, is there any charge for the two dipping sauces that are paired with steamed dumplings?
I forgot to ask the system this question last night.
He immediately asked the confusion in his heart.
A cold electronic voice sounded in my head:
γHost, ginger vinegar sauce and chili sesame dipping sauce are not charged. As long as customers buy a new product, they can provide a free dipping sauce. γ
This is also, 1200 yuan for five steamed dumplings, if the dipping sauce has to be charged separately, it is estimated that some customers will be angry and curse themselves for thunder and thunder......
Bai Xiaobai thought about it in a daze, and began to officially knead the dough to prepare for the opening.
As soon as the dough was kneaded, Jiang Wei came over with a bowl of steaming fish balls, "Boss Bai, you can taste it." β
Bai Xiaobai took the disposable packing paper bowl in Jiang Wei's hand and sniffed the fish balls he cooked a little.
The fresh aroma is mixed with a fishy smell.
"Do you use fish bones to boil this fish ball soup?" Bai Xiaobai frowned and asked.
"Boss Bai, you are really an expert, you can smell it at once. Jiang Wei said with a smile, "This is taught in the training class, the fish mash is used to make fish balls, and the remaining fish heads and fish bones are put in a pot, add some dried seaweed and small shrimp, and boil them into seafood broth." β
Bai Xiaobai learned that the fish ball soup was boiled with fish bones and other seafood ingredients, so he didn't express any opinions, but picked up a plastic spoon, scooped up the fish balls and tasted them.
The fish balls are shaped like a ping pong ball, and the appearance is as white as tofu, which is elastic.
Bai Xiaobai took a bite, the bread in the fish balls had fish filling, the taste was good, and it was quite strong.
The filling inside is decent and there is nothing too wrong.
After taking another sip of fish ball soup, there is no major problem, but it has a fishy smell.
Overall, it's a decent meal.
As for why sales are not good, Bai Xiaobai can fully understand.
In such a large-scale food festival, there are so many delicacies, if it is just a mediocre snack with no major problems, it is indeed difficult to increase sales.
"Boss Bai, how is it? Jiang Wei looked at Bai Xiaobai very humbly.
He really wanted Bai Xiaobai to give some advice.
Bai Xiaobai has always been strict with food, and he can say some nice things against his will, for example, your fish balls are delicious, yes, I like it very much.
But Bai Xiaobai was reluctant to do it out of conscience, he directly said what he felt in his heart: "Boss Jiang, your fish balls are very ordinary, the fishy smell of the fish ball soup is too strong, and the taste of the fish ball filling is also very average." β
After Jiang Wei heard this comment, his face was very calm, as if he had known this result in advance.
He continued to humbly ask, "Boss Bai, is there any way to make it tastier, or it can be improved a little." β
Jiang Wei knew that Bai Xiaobai's cooking skills were very extraordinary, and he wanted to learn a little real material from it.
Generally, if a stranger who has no relatives and no reason asks for advice, Bai Xiaobai may not have much patience.
But Jiang Wei is honest and honest, and he took the initiative to help move things just now, and Bai Xiaobai also has a good impression of him.
In the face of Jiang Wei's humble advice, Bai Xiaobai didn't try to say some of his opinions, and said eloquently: "Boss Jiang, your fish balls have a poor taste, I can't teach this, so I can only practice making them patiently and repeatedly." I'll talk about fish ball soup here. β
Bai Xiaobai didn't pretend to be forced, and continued to be very frank, "Boss Jiang, I personally don't recommend that you use fish heads and fish bones to make soup for fish balls. βγ
In fact, there is nothing wrong with using fish heads and bones to boil fish ball soup.
Many fish ball snacks and broth in China are also not lacking in this practice.
The problem is that if you can't get rid of the strong fishy smell in the fish soup, Bai Xiaobai thinks it's better not to use it.
There is an old saying that makes sense, learn to build on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
The same is true for culinary cuisine.
Faced with Bai Xiaobai's point-to-point opinion, Jiang Wei paused for a moment, and then asked, "Boss Bai, this method is taught in the training class, and I also follow it." However, I have tried to make a clear soup with boiled water, chicken broth and pork bones, but the effect is not as good as fish head soup. β
Fish balls themselves belong to seafood snacks, if you use chicken soup and pork bone soup, it is easy to cover the fresh fragrance of the fish balls themselves, there is a kind of noisy meaning, and the cost of this kind of soup is higher, it is really not suitable.
And if you use boiled water to make fish ball soup, although the cost is zero, it is light and tasteless, and it is obviously not suitable.
Bai Xiaobai had a flash of inspiration, and thought of the lobster pot made by a small master of China with various mountain delicacies and game.
Seafood and wild game can collide with the ultimate in food.
That might be a good idea.
He opened his mouth and suggested, "Boss Jiang, you can try to make fish ball soup with mushrooms." β
"Fungi?" Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask, "Boss Bai, do you have any specific suggestions?"
Bai Xiaobai calmed down and said: "You can make mushroom vegetable soup, such as enoki mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, and baby cabbage together, which can be slightly thicker." This soup is relatively refreshing and natural, and it can also bring out the fresh and fragrant seafood of the fish balls themselves, which I think should be good. β
Jiang Wei patted his head and said with a smile, "Boss Bai, your idea is really good, I'll try it right away." β
