Chapter 165: Competition
After returning to the inn, Liu Qian gave the shopkeeper the cost of the previous accommodation and the cost of the next two days.
"Girl, are you leaving?" The shopkeeper calculated the money and knew that it was the expenses of the next two days, so he guessed that Liu Tian was leaving.
Liu Tian just nodded: "I'm leaving, but I'll still be in the capital, and I'll invite the shopkeeper to eat when my restaurant opens in a few days." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, he knew, this girl was the girl who won the first place in the competition, presumably her cooking skills must be good, otherwise she wouldn't have conquered so many examiners, right? It's just that he didn't expect this girl to open a restaurant in the capital, he thought for a while: "Where is that girl's restaurant?" ”
Liu Tian told the shopkeeper the location of the restaurant, the shopkeeper was slightly stunned, Liu Tian said that the location is a good location, but there are many restaurants there, and the competition must be very big at that time, so he opened his mouth to remind: "The girl can think about how to operate?" There are a lot of restaurants over there, and they are relatively large, if you don't think about how to run them, this new restaurant will probably be a little difficult to survive. ”
"Thank you for the reminder." Liu Tian smiled lightly, and walked directly upstairs without saying anything, going to clean up the house over there in the past two days, and then live there.
Two days later, Liu Tian, Lin Feng and Lin Anyu and others moved directly to the house that Liu Tian bought, and the restaurant was almost renovated.
Before the restaurant opens, the most important thing is to formulate the dishes to be sold at that time.
Liu Tilt's tube of yellow eel is very well raised, now all of them are alive and kicking, how to say that a restaurant must have a special dish is, think about it, Liu Tilt feels that the yellow eel here is something that no one has ever seen, if it is done well, it will definitely lead a wave of trends, but now the biggest problem is how to make the yellow eel, what kind of way to make the yellow eel can make this dish popular in the whole capital?
Liu Qian thought about many methods, but in order to cater to the tastes of different people, he still had to make some improvements.
Lin Feng naturally became Liu Tian's tasting officer, and Liu Tian put all the dishes in front of Lin Feng: "You try it, see if there are any dishes that will make you feel delicious and novel?" ”
He picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish carefully, but he always felt that something was missing, Lin Feng shook his head: "Although this yellow eel is delicious, if this appearance is directly cut off and cooked, it is like eating a snake, which makes people a little frightened, and although the meat of this barren mountain is tender and delicious, it is really troublesome to eat it and spit out the bones in the middle, and it is not conducive to children to eat." ”
Lin Feng's opinions are very pertinent, Liu Qian thought about it, this dish should not only be delicious, but also beautiful, if a dish is served directly, and the people who see it think that it is a plate of snakes, then what desire does it have?
Therefore, in terms of appearance, this dish must not be associated with snakes so as not to affect appetite, as for the taste, Lin Feng didn't say much.
It's just that in terms of taste and eating experience, Lin Feng put forward a very good opinion.
This yellow eel is like this, the meat segment is delicious, but the middle bone is really a little troublesome when it is spit out, but there is one dish that can perfectly avoid these problems, and that is the eel.
Cutting the eel into shredded eels and cooking them is a perfect way to avoid the awkward problems of having to spit out bones and looking like you're eating snake meat.
Therefore, Liu Tian simply made a piece of eel silk, and decorated it carefully when arranging it, so that this eel silk looked extremely delicate when it came out.
Lin Feng couldn't wait to raise his hand and take a mouthful of eel silk and put it in his mouth, just for a moment, his face showed a look of surprise: "It's him, if this dish is launched in our restaurant, it will definitely be welcomed by many people!" ”
Liu Tian also smiled reassuringly, this is good, the main dish has been decided, and she doesn't think there is any problem with the usual dishes next.
After setting the menu, Liu Tian proposed to let Lin Feng accompany her out: "This yellow eel can't be bought anywhere, so we still have to look around and ask, so it's better to book some goods in advance for them to send over, right?" ”
"You've thought about it, we'll go and order the yellow eel in a while." Lin Feng naturally obeyed Liu Tian's words, so when Liu Tian said it, Lin Feng immediately agreed, and he directly took Liu Tian to the surrounding farmers or fishermen who specialized in selling fish, and asked around, first ordered goods with some merchants who could catch yellow eels, and then released a word, saying that he was willing to buy yellow eels at a high price.
However, only Liu Tian and they know how high the price is, anyway, this yellow eel is not a good thing for many people, so the price rises a little, and everyone is willing to sell it to Liu Tian.
After doing these things, Liu Tian and Lin Feng began to look at the days, and the opening day was directly set three days later, and the time of these three days had to be carefully arranged in various parts of the restaurant to prevent mistakes.
On the other hand, the news of the imminent opening of Liu Tian's restaurant directly spread to several restaurants on the opposite street, and the shopkeepers of several restaurants went to find someone to inquire about Liu Tian's current situation.
It's just that when I heard that she was buying yellow eel on a large scale, I really felt a little puzzled.
What kind of dishes can something like this make? And don't eels grow in the fields? Something like a snake, if it were placed on the dinner table, wouldn't it scare the guests away?
However, Liu Tian is the first woman in the history of the legendary competition to win the first place, so these people dare not underestimate Liu Tian at all.
They first sent people everywhere to ask who Liu Tian had ordered from, and then they also bought some yellow eels from those people at a high price, for fear that Liu Tian would launch some strange dishes and catch them off guard.
Then, the shopkeepers of these restaurants thought about it and united everyone.
A dinner was organized between the owners of several restaurants.
"Boss Wu, have you heard? There is going to be a restaurant on the opposite side, and I heard that it was the first place in this year's competition, and it was the woman named Liu Tian! The shopkeeper Zhang of Yunkeju Restaurant asked directly as soon as he came up, which shows that he is really concerned about the affairs of Liutian Restaurant.
After all, this restaurant is opposite his restaurant, what if Liu Tian robs the guests of his restaurant?
The shopkeeper who was asked was the boss of another village restaurant, he touched his goatee and thought carefully for a moment before replying: "I don't know what to do, but I heard that she seems to be buying yellow eel on a large scale, this kind of thing is not worth a few dollars, she must want to do something like this, if the restaurant opened by such a powerful chef is long, there will definitely be many customers who go to eat because of her name, people have strength, If the menu is still new, it will definitely attract all our guests! ”
"What can I do?" The other bosses also frowned and felt very embarrassed, if they still want to do anything now, it is impossible, and they are all time-honored brands, even if it is a set of actions against this new restaurant, it must be above board to cut off the supply of the restaurant from the source.
After all, if you do some indiscriminate means, you will be found out at that time, and your reputation will definitely be damaged.
After thinking about it, everyone decided to start from the source.
"Let's do it, let's cut off the source of their goods, these vegetables and fruits are not easy to cut, after all, there are suppliers of vegetables and fruits everywhere, but yellow eel is not a thing to find, and now she is buying it so aggressively, there must be some specialty dish to use yellow eel, or this restaurant may want to use yellow eel to do gimmick dishes, we might as well cut off the source of yellow eel, so that there is no need to say anything." Boss Wu said and glanced at Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang immediately patted the table: "Okay, our restaurants simply act separately and monopolize all the sources of yellow eel, so that they will definitely not be able to make the dishes that can only be made with yellow eel, and if the dish is really popular, when we have the materials, let our chefs also make it, and just grab it with them." ”
These restaurants can stand here for so long, naturally they have their own means, these restaurants all have backgrounds, even if they do, they are also united with each other because of some cooperation or interests.
Now Liu Tian is equivalent to an external factor that wants to break their balance, and they naturally don't want others to come to compete for the original good resources, and after discussing for a long time, they finally have a clear division of labor, and all the relevant persons in charge of the restaurant took action the next day.
Liu has not set many goods, just enough for the opening two or three days, and she has not yet decided on the goods after that, after all, it is still unknown whether the eel can satisfy the tastes of the diners here.
Finally, when it was time to open, on the same day, Liu Qian attracted a lot of customers with a discount and successfully pushed the eel out.
People here have never eaten such food, this extremely delicate looking eel silk is extremely delicious, and the other dishes in this restaurant are also carefully selected and made by Liu Tian, so it is impeccable at all.
Overnight, Liu Tilt's restaurant began to become popular in the capital, and almost everyone began to spread the word of mouth, only saying how delicious the dishes in the Willow Tilt Restaurant were, especially the eel, which I had never seen and never eaten, but I had an endless aftertaste after eating a bite.
Eel silk has become a trend in the capital, and almost everyone is proud to have eaten eel silk.
Liu Tian and Lin Feng were very satisfied with this result, and they finally experienced the feeling of busyness and happiness after two days of opening the restaurant.
However, on the third day, after the eel ran out, the supplier did not send the eel over.
"What's going on?" Liu Tian was stunned, could it be that there was something wrong with this supplier?
