Chapter 156: Selling Recipes

"It's smoked cured meat, which isn't complicated, but it's time-consuming. When the finished ham is boiled in the soup, it will have a golden oil flower, and the fragrance is unique, and there is a flavor that no other meat can replace. But even if I start making it today, I'm afraid it will be a few years before it is ready, so I first grilled the cured meat on a charcoal fire. ”

As he spoke, he just felt that his gaze was not right.

Indeed, how could she know so much about a small village girl?

I learned this content from watching a chef's cooking video before.

She laughed a few times and touched her head: "I heard from the traveling merchants in the village. ”

Two pork knuckles cost two taels of silver, two fine local chickens cost 600 wen, two fat ducks cost 800 wen, a piece of excellent cured meat costs five taels of silver, and fresh pork tenderloin costs one tael of silver. Thirty taels for two pieces of beef.

The ingredients in Fumanlou are the best, the fishy smell of these meats is much better than that raised by retail households, and the price is much more expensive than those sold outside.

In addition, cabbage is three wen, green onion and ginger are fifty wen, sorghum wine is one tael of silver, and firewood and carbon are eighty wen.

The total cost was about forty-three taels of silver.

For Fu Man Lou, this is not expensive.

Tang Yourou said: "This dish is suitable for rich ladies and daughters." They stay in the house for a long time, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and must be very picky about delicious food. But eating too much is easy to get lucky, eating this cabbage can not only taste umami, but also easy not to gain weight, I think it is the most popular category of boiling water cabbage among all people. ”

All nodded, still hesitant.

It tastes really good, but how do you sell this dish?

The boiled water can blanch more than 20 plates of cabbage, and the cost is indeed about two taels of silver per plate, but this is when all the boiled cabbage is sold.

How many taels of silver only eat a cabbage heart? Can such a dish be served to a private room?

There are many rich people in the city, but even if they love to eat, they can't eat every day. Moreover, this broth is mixed with duck, and the soup will become sluggish after a long time, which will affect the taste. After a pot of boiling water is made, it has to be sold within a day or two.

Even if the price of the private room dishes is several times the cost, it is impossible to simply calculate the loss. The taste and method of this dish must not be sold cheaply in the lobby.

All have a delicate mood.

For so many years, he has met people from all over the world who come to sell recipes, but this time he encountered dishes that taste good, have low cost, and only take time and effort, but they are not suitable for selling dishes to private rooms.

Before he boasted that he could call the shots in Haikou, he didn't expect that he still had to ask the owner to set the price.

But he knew that in order to consolidate Fumanlou's position as the first in the city, the owner would definitely buy it out to prevent other small restaurants from sucking up the flow of customers.

Tang and Rou were a little sleepy, seeing that they were all in deep thought, and when he was hesitating to bid, he cleaned up the stove and urged, "The ratio of this soup is very particular, and there are sayings about cutting and sweeping the soup, if it is not done, it will become mush." A chef may be able to imitate the soup, but if you don't know the tricks, you're afraid you'll spoil the taste. It took me a long time to adjust the boiling water. She pointed to the barrel that lay on the side.

In the barrel is the material she makes waste.

The order of sweeping the soup with meat foam is not correct, the impurities are not removed in time, or the ratio is incorrect, which may cause the soup to be not clear enough, the flavor level is conflicting, and it is not rich enough. She also deliberately cooked more beef broth to increase the flavor according to the taste of the ingredients in Fumanlou, and wasted two more cabbages to debug.

Throughout the night, she went to the latrine several times to make boiling water that tasted more in line with the local tastes.

But she was a little worried now.

The other cooks were digging for secret recipes, but she had all the ingredients for boiling water here. If a cook figured out how to sweep the soup, then her recipe would be worthless.

It was imperative that she finalize the extra money.

All of them are very honest: "I didn't want to steal your recipes. The recipe has to be calculated according to the price of the dish, and I am not sure about the price of this dish, it depends on the owner's meaning. ”

Tang Yourou carefully picked the boiled meat into the bowl with chopsticks, thought for a while, and asked, "How much did Brother Du spend last time when he collected the recipe?" She paused, then smiled, "Isn't it inconvenient for me to know?" ”

This kind of thing should be classified.

However, the proprietor and shopkeeper of Fumanlou are always more upright than she thought.

He laughed, "It's not a secret. The last time I received a recipe was last year, and the owner spent 30 taels of silver to buy the five-flavored preserved food from the homeless. However, the taste of the five-flavor preserved was slightly chai, and he was disgusted by Chef Liao for several months, until the spring flowers bloomed and the geese returned, and he was satisfied with the goose meat. However, this is not a private room dish, but it is just a first-class dish that even a cooker can make. ”

I really didn't expect that this Liao chef is quite picky.

Tang and Rou also sighed secretly when they heard the price.

Liu Changqing and her mother will be disgusted by the cook if they spend thirty taels to buy recipes, while Liu Changqing's son buys wine and drinks, and casually sells hundreds of taels.

What a loser!

She thought for a while, stretched out a finger, and asked, "One hundred taels, can you call the shots?" ”

"One hundred taels?! Rou girl, do you know how expensive the food in the private room can be? "All of them were surprised, even a little excited.

It must be known that the cost of cooking a broth is only more than 40 taels of silver, not to mention that if this dish is sold to a private room, with the sophistication of the dish, the profit should be several times the cost. This hundred taels is almost as long as it is successfully sold once, and it can be repaid.

It's only a hundred taels, and he can really make a decision immediately.

Tang Yurou nodded, "I know." But this recipe is placed in another restaurant, the meat quality is bad, the taste is not good, it is really a waste of this dish. I calculated that only the passenger flow of Fuman Building was enough. And I'm expecting it all here, and the cooks may figure it out for themselves in a few days. This 100 taels is said to be a recipe, but it is better to buy out this dish, and I will not sell this dish to other people's families in the future. ”

She knew the rules of Fu Man Lou. Liu Jia is very domineering in this regard, but if there is a dish in Fumanlou, he will definitely buy out this recipe, and if other restaurants do it, they can only imitate it, and the taste will be a little worse.

She cupped her cheeks and said, "But...... If I open a restaurant in the future, I will definitely let my cook this dish. ”

If others say this, they will only think that they are talking nonsense, but they all believe that this little girl can really do it.

He smiled: "This recipe has been sold to Fumanlou, so it shouldn't be able to be made." I will immediately repair a letter and send it to the proprietor with a flying pigeon, as long as she agrees......"

"No need!" Tang Yourou hurriedly interrupted him, "I'll just say casually, don't open the restaurant for the time being, and talk about it later!" ”

All of them were puzzled: "Is the soft girl short of money again?" But when the craftsman built the house, he lost the wood? ”
