Chapter 507: The first specialty dish, teaching the land monkeys to cast their nets
Yunsha Fishing Port Restaurant opened for three days, and its popularity was deserted, and the attendance rate of the huge open dining area has always been maintained at about 20%.
The main Yunsha Island specialty brand, due to the prejudice of its origin and the price factor, is not recognized by customers at present, and the related dishes have not been sold for three days.
As the general manager, Ma Detao is a little apprehensive, but with the current situation, it is estimated that increasing the publicity in the store is not only useless, but easy to arouse the disgust of customers.
It seems that the elimination of prejudices will not happen overnight, and we can only wait patiently for the opportunity to turn around.
However, the customer base is also composed of a variety of people, all kinds of personalities. No, at noon on the fourth day, there were finally guests who became interested in the Yunsha Island specialties in the recipe.
This is a middle-aged couple, the man looks like he is wide-hearted and fat, sitting at a four-person table on the north side of the dining area, unhurriedly looking through the recipes.
Suddenly, he beckoned to the waiter and asked:
"May I ask what is so special about the seafood on Yunsha Island, and why is it so expensive?"
"Hello, sir. Yes, the sea area around Yunsha Island has a first-class ecological environment, clean and pollution-free water quality, and the quality of aquatic products there is much higher than that of other places. Our store implements the pricing principle of high quality and high price, to provide customers with better service, will not let you down. The waitress introduced the customer according to the content of the training.
"According to your introduction, this Yunsha Island is not far from the Lingjiang River, can the environmental difference be so big?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.
"At the moment, it's a protected area for private use, and development is strictly controlled." The waitress replied calmly.
The woman sitting opposite her glanced at her husband, meaning that he should ignore it, after all, there are too many false advertisements in these years.
The middle-aged man waved his hand lightly, indicating that he understood. However, as a veteran seafood lover, he has always been very concerned about the relevant origins. This Yunsha Island, which he had never heard of, aroused his keen interest.
After thinking for a while, he got up and followed the waiter to the seafood pool to select goods, browsed for a while, stopped in front of a large glass tank that was said to be a special product of Yunsha Island, and chose a mackerel that looked very good based on previous experience. Visually, it looks like about three catties.
Later, I picked some scallops and sea urchins from the glass jar next to it.
A shopkeeper held a copy in his hand, fished out the things according to the customer's request, and sent them to the kitchen for processing.
When he turned back to his seat, his wife complained to him:
"You are really, you believe what people say."
"We don't lack this little money, just go back to being fooled, it's not a big deal." The middle-aged man said with a grin.
"You're such a foodie. This is the virtue of being young from a young age. The wife flew over and rolled her eyes.
"Hehe, if I weren't a foodie, where would we have a chance to meet." The middle-aged man laughed.
"Go, it's not serious."
About half an hour later, the dishes were served one after another, and the protagonist was naturally the steamed mackerel.
The oval blue and white porcelain plate, an intact large mackerel head and tail slightly upturned, lying flat in the middle. The shape is lively and lively. The knife edge reveals white flesh, and the surface of the fish is sprinkled with shredded ginger, green onion and red pepper. The burst of aroma overflows, and people can't help but appetize.
"Oh, the aroma is pretty good." The middle-aged man twitched the wings of his nose, and his initial impression was good.
He then took bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat from the middle of the fish's body, and put it in his mouth. Close your eyes and taste.
After a moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he said:
"Well, the taste is delicate and the meat is full of elasticity. The taste is mellow and delicious, and the cooking heat is just right, highlighting the original taste of the fish, which is really good. Come, taste it too, while it's hot. ”
When his wife heard his comments, her curiosity aroused and she also moved her chopsticks.
"Well, it's really fresh."
"I really didn't expect that there are still good things in this Chenghai now, it's rare."
The middle-aged man felt the fresh fragrance in his mouth, and the taste buds on the tip of his tongue told him that the mackerel on the table was an authentic natural and excellent ingredient. Although it is 50% more expensive than ordinary goods, it is worth one word!
The husband and wife are obviously masters of eating fish, their movements are skillful and elegant, and after a while, more than three catties of steamed mackerel have become a skeleton, which is cleaner than the ants have gnawed.
After the meal, the cost of the meal totaled more than 600 yuan, and the couple said that it was acceptable, and then got up and left satisfied.
Soon, Dong Zhengyang, the lobby manager, reported the news to Ma Detao.
The restaurant's main Yunsha Island specialty seafood has finally opened, and the two obviously knowledgeable customers responded very well, which made his heart that had been hanging a lot easier.
Ma understands that the quality of the island's ingredients is excellent, and the biggest problem at present is simply the lack of public awareness. But as long as this head is opened, I believe that word of mouth will be spread by word of mouth.
Of course, this will definitely take a long time, and you must be patient.
********************************************
At this time, in the western part of Yunsha Island, a small sampan floated on the sea.
There were two people standing on the sampan, it was Kiko and the land monkey.
So far, the new companion land monkeys have been on the island for more than a month, and after some initial discomfort, they have gradually integrated into the small group.
The land monkeys are very smart, and all kinds of tasks on the island, whether it is hoeing, fertilizing, pruning the branches of fruit trees, taking care of the chicken coop, etc., are mastered one by one after following Lai Shun'er and Kiko for a while.
Today, Kiko took the time to bring him here, mainly to teach him how to use the hand-tossed net.
"Kiko, why don't you teach at the small pier?" The land monkey asked suspiciously.
The water near the small pier is unobstructed and the view is wide, which is obviously more convenient than on a small sampan.
"I don't understand this, there are so many fish in the small pier, and it will cost dozens of catties to go down the net casually, and you will eat them all in one go?" Kiko said as she bent down and pulled out the net stored in the cabin.
At present, the demand for seafood in the restaurant is not high, so naturally resources cannot be wasted at will.
"Oh." The land monkey responded, stepping forward to help Kiko.
"Look, this is called two sprinkling, pay attention to my thumb, so that when you sprinkle, you can just hook the net and open your mouth."
Kiko stands up straight and explains the technique while holding the netnet and about one-third of the net with her left hand, hanging the net on her thumb with her right hand, and then holding the rest of the net, keeping her hands at a distance that is easy to move.
Then the body rotated from left to right, and with a sharp swing of the arm, the net was sent out with a thud, and the net traveled in a straight line for a few seconds, then spread out and changed into a large round cover and fell into the water, causing a ripple.
"Wow, that's awesome!" The land monkeys applauded.
"Hehe, let's old fishermen play this, it's a little meaning." Kiko was quite proud, and then pulled the net back.
The land monkey then started to practice the actual exercises, but because he was a novice, his movements were unfamiliar, and he didn't even spread a few nets to form a group, and the small sampan was bumped from side to side.
Kiko hurriedly told him to stabilize his center of gravity and corrected his wrong posture by hand.
Fortunately, the land monkey's comprehension ability is really not covered, and after repeating it more than a dozen times, it finally threw a full circle.
"Well, it's okay." Xizi nodded in agreement, secretly thinking that this kid is really fast at learning things, and it seems that he is even better than he was at the beginning.
The land monkeys were encouraged, their confidence was boosted, and they were ready to continue.
At this time, a pair of triangular fins suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and the land monkey did not think about it, and subconsciously threw the net towards the target.
"Stop!" There was a loud shout in his ears, and then his arm was dragged hard, and the small sampan swayed violently, almost falling over.
The land monkey was stunned, waiting to calm down, and saw that Xizi was hurriedly pulling the fishing net back, although he didn't know why, he still hurried to help.
"Whew, you kid really dare to come nonsense!" Kiko gasped and looked sullen.
The land monkey didn't know what he had done wrong, but he heard a chirping sound next to him, and when he followed the sound, he saw a big round head with a long snout protrusion emerging from the sea, and his big mouth was open, revealing two rows of white and fine teeth.
"Dolphins!" The land monkey shouted in surprise that this big-headed fish with a muscular and streamlined body has always been the most popular species in TV programs about marine animals.
"Look, this is Leqiu, Brother Chenzi's baby bump, you almost put a net on its head just now."
Xizi said with trepidation, fishing nets are almost the most dangerous and deadly thing for dolphins, and if something happens, I really don't know how to explain to Brother Chenzi.
"Ah, I... I don't know, what can I do? It doesn't get angry, does it? ”
The land monkey suddenly became nervous, and he realized how stupid his action just now was. Moreover, a big guy like this who lives in the water will not have little strength, and it is unknown if it provokes it, and it may be able to lift the boat and attack people.
"Why aren't you angry? If Leqiu's temper comes up, your body will be enough to be his dinner. Kiko frightened angrily.
When the land monkey heard this, he immediately reached out and grabbed an oar, clenched it tightly in his hand, and made an emergency alert posture. I haven't heard of dolphin bites before, but after all, it's a wild animal, and no one can get a safety ticket.
Kiko shook her head, as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, and blame herself for forgetting to remind him of this matter.
The sound of the balls changing rapidly over there continued, and based on experience, it was supposed to be an expression of indignation and protest.
Xizi hurriedly appeased her, and tossed in the cabin again, but fortunately found a few special small steamed buns in reserve and gave them to Leqiu to make amends.
Leqiu is also magnanimous, and after taking all the small steamed buns into his belly, he will go away in a chic manner, no longer caring with others.
Whew, the land monkey finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the board of the boat.
Kiko taught her a few more lessons, and then ordered to return. (To be continued.) )
