Like Tianxianglou, the guest house never sells breakfast, because most of the receptions are rich and powerful dignitaries, and most of the nobles eat breakfast in their own houses, and eat out at noon and evening. Besides, Tianxianglou has to pay for eight small buns in a cage, that is, a thousand copper plates, and they have to have half a tael in exchange for silver, and they can't afford it at all.

The full-house business is not as good as Tianxianglou, but it has also been in business for three generations, and it will soon enter the ranks of century-old stores. His family naturally takes the tall route, and refuses to bow his head to do cheap business, for fear of falling off the grade.

"Is this impossible to do, and you plan to change the pro-people line?" Meng Hui leaned over, grabbed a passer-by and asked, "Auntie, what is this for sale?" Why is everyone queuing? ”

The eldest aunt was very enthusiastic and opened the oiled paper bag in her hand to show her: "The crab roe bun eaten by the rich and noble!" You see, one is much bigger than a fist, only ten copper plates! Ten! Can you skip the queue? The six buns in her hand were still steaming, and the eighteen folds were neat, and they looked very good, and the salty fragrance went straight to people's noses.

Meng Hui got up early in the morning and hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach rumbled when he heard the smell.

When the eldest aunt heard this, she proudly covered the bun again: "Fragrant, right?" Hurry up and line up to buy it, or it will be sold out later! We have few crabs in Xijing, and this is the first time we have eaten it! After she finished speaking, she walked away happily, her feet were fast, and she should go back to share it with her family.

"Ten copper crab roe buns? Why don't I believe it so much......" Meng Hui saw that it was still early, so he simply lined up in line, planning to buy one to try it. She always felt that this thing was strange, there was no sea around Xijing City, and this dynasty could not artificially breed crabs, so it had to be transported from afar, and the price was extremely high.

Crabs are already expensive, let alone crab roe alone. Tianxianglou's crab roe buns are half a dollar more expensive than ordinary buns, that is, 1,500 copper coins per basket. "Tianxianglou sells more than 180 copper coins a piece, and he has to sell 100 if he doesn't sell 15 when the house is full, right? One out of ten? "It's not even enough for the cost of crab shells, is it?

Meng Hui lined up full of doubts, and heard a lot of passers-by who bought them humming deliciously while eating.

"Oh my God! Strange nobles like to eat crab roe mile! It's too fresh, isn't it? ”

"Mao Dongjia is losing money today, and he only bought ten copper coins for such a good thing! Ouch, I should have bought a few more, I won't be able to buy them in line now! ”

"I've never eaten such a delicious bun! My mother, it's a pity that your old man went early-"

Whenever these passers-by eat steamed buns, they will immediately become a full house of tap water, and they are so exaggerated that Meng Hui is dumbfounded. When the people in the team heard these praises, they all stretched their necks and looked forward, for fear that the people in front of them would be bought out, and they were even more afraid that the price would be raised on the spot.

When it was Meng Hui's turn, there were already five oversized steamers on the side of the makeshift platform, and there were only two left in the last one. "I'm going to do it all!" Meng Hui took out twenty copper plates, and the people behind complained in unison, and she hurriedly ran away with a bun wrapped in oiled paper to avoid being robbed by hungry passers-by.

Carrying the bun and trotting all the way, Meng Hui felt very speechless, he had to be so trembling to eat a crab roe bun, this is the inconvenience of ancient times.

She had never eaten this kind of high-end stuff in her lifetime, but she had tasted it in Cui's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and the Wangfu did her tasks, and the crab roe in Cui's Mansion was less, and the taste was not very good.

"I don't know how the hall is full, it may be that the people haven't eaten it." When she came to the way to Yizhuang, there was no one around, she took out the bun and took a bite, Meng Hui was stunned, "Is this a crab roe bun?" Mao Bu plucked this is a ghost! "The white and soft bun skin accounts for more than half, and the little stuffing in it is very fragrant and delicious.

But the yellow and shiny thing is clearly salted egg yolk mixed with egg yolk, and at most a little surimi!

"Isn't this a steamed bun made from Tianxianglou's famous dish 'Race Crab'? No wonder it only sells ten copper coins each, the raw materials are cheap, and there is so little stuffing in it, and it makes money by selling two copper plates! Meng Hui is completely convinced, Mao Bu Pluck is really Mao Bu Pluck, doing this kind of cheating and tricking thing is really brainy.

Crab is a new dish developed by the father of today's master 50 years ago, when a vassal king entered Beijing, came to Tianxiang Loudao to eat crab and was afraid of rash, the father of the master used salted egg yolk, mixed with a small amount of salty egg white and surimi, and egg yolk, mashed potatoes and carrots and other things in the pot, supplemented by ginger and balsamic vinegar.

This dish has a bright color, a sandy and soft taste, very similar to crab roe, and a small amount of egg white, like crab meat that has not been completely removed, no matter the shape and taste are no different from crabs. As soon as the crab came out, it not only satisfied the appetite of the feudal king, but also made the nobles who were lucky enough to taste it praise each other, and this dish has been passed down in this way.

Although many people outside know the materials, they don't know how to operate the salted egg yolk to have that kind of umami, and they don't know how much each material is the ultimate.

"What a shame! actually said that he didn't know about Zhao Runan, if he really didn't know, then where did this recipe come from? Although Meng Hui despised Mao Bupluck, he still had to eat steamed buns when he was hungry, and he spent Xiaohui's hard-earned money, how could he be worthy of other people's stomachs if he didn't eat them.

But this is purely a vegetarian stuffed bun, which can only fool the common people who have never eaten real crabs.

"No wonder they don't dare to sell at a higher price," Meng Hui suddenly thought, "If you sell twenty copper coins, the poor people will be more hesitant, and there will be more people with two small coins in their hands, and it will be easy to be debunked when the time comes." Only ten pieces are sold, and there are too many people competing for them, and those who have eaten crab roe buns disdain to grab them. ”

Mao Buba has a whole set of calculations and pondering, and he is very accurate about the psychology of taking advantage. Today's "crab roe" bun sale will bring him a lot of profits, and it will also make his reputation slightly better, at least the people who just bought the buns will think that he has changed his sex.

"Could it be that the full house is really going to take the people-friendly route?" Once the restaurant in Xijing begins to receive poor people, it will be difficult to do rich business, which is very clear to Mao Buba, otherwise he will not let the business be bad or bad for decades, and will not make any concessions. "It's easy to make money by changing styles, but after that, he will completely fall out of the ranks of big restaurants, why is he in a hurry to make this money?"

Meng Hui walked all the way to Yizhuang and didn't figure it out, so he had to put away his doubts and be busy with Zhao Runan's affairs first.
