Chapter 174: Food Festival

The money for buying ingredients is from Gao Dian.

Before you start making money, you have already spent a lot, which is also something that cannot be helped, this money must be spent, this is one of the costs.

Of course, the cost of buying ingredients is not caused by Gao Dian alone.

He had already discussed with Lou Xiangpeng, and all the costs would be settled later, and the two would share them equally.

…………

When he returned to the hotel, Gao Dian suddenly remembered that he had planned to go to the hotel, but he forgot about it when he went out.

I had no choice but to continue living and talk about it later.

Time passed slowly, and Gao Dian went to work as usual every day, waiting for the arrival of the food festival.

During this period, Gao Dian and Lou Xiangpeng were not idle, and after work, the two did not leave the kitchen, but studied in the kitchen.

The pastry to be sold at the food festival has to be sampled in advance.

The two study together, learn from each other, and advise each other.

Gao Dian learned a lot from Lou Xiangpeng, and Lou Xiangpeng also learned a lot from Gao Dian.

Originally, every night, Lou Xiangpeng would take Gao Dian out to eat and taste different K-City delicacies.

However, neither of them went out for the past two nights, and devoted themselves to studying pastries in the kitchen.

These were all seen by Lou Jun, and he rarely showed a relieved smile.

It seems that agreeing to them to go to the food festival is not without any benefits.

Lou Jun's impression of Gao Dian is better, and Lou Xiangpeng has such a change, largely because of Gao Dian.

In the past two days, Gao Dian's lily crisp level is also improving rapidly, and he is getting more and more handy.

Lou Xiangpeng's spring rolls also changed their appearance, and under the discussion of the two, the original spring rolls were weak and turned into small spring rolls one by one.

One of the benefits of this change is that it looks smaller and more sophisticated.

There's no way, the form of the spring rolls is like that, and they look good when they are done, but Lou Xiangpeng's level is limited, so he can only go sideways.

Luckily, it turned out not bad.

After the body size of the spring rolls is reduced, the amount of things that can be wrapped is also reduced, and the texture and taste level will be different, but the corresponding cost will be reduced.

What Lou Xiangpeng is best at is actually not making spring rolls, what he is best at is making roasted wheat.

The reason why he didn't make siu mai was because Lou Xiangpeng had his own considerations, and the production of siu mai was more troublesome than spring rolls.

Of course, his level of making spring rolls is not bad, at least he can take it.

…………

As a famous ancient capital, K City has an extremely rich historical and cultural heritage, and there are countless places of interest and historic sites in the territory.

Every tourist season, many people will choose to travel to K City to feel the weight of history.

This is not the first time that the food festival in K City has been held, but it is the first time that it has been held on such a large scale.

In the past, most of the K City food festivals were held by merchants together, and the main purpose was to sell things. It's all a petty fight.

This year's food festival is very different, and it has been promoted online since a long time ago.

Actually, it's because K City wants to promote its own food culture.

China is a vast country, and many places have different geographical climates, which have led to different food cultures.

As one of the ancient capitals, K-Castle is naturally rich in food culture.

This food festival shoulders the important task of promoting the food culture of K City.

That's why some well-known local restaurants are invited to participate, but unfortunately, most of them refuse.

This is a headache for the organizers, but there is no way, people are not willing to participate, can you still force it?

As for the reasons for not participating, each family has different reasons, and it can be roughly divided into two types.

One is that they are busy with their own business and don't want to waste time attending food festivals.

The other is that participating in the so-called food festival is a bit cheap.

However, to the comfort of the organizers, some restaurants still agreed to participate in the food festival.

In order to motivate everyone, this time the organizers can be said to have invested heavily and set up a reward.

In the food festival, the stall with the largest turnover can receive a reward of 10,000 yuan provided by the organizer, and there is also a mystery prize.

In fact, it is already very good to be able to come up with 10,000 yuan as a reward.

In this food festival, the organizers can be said to have spent a lot of money, online publicity, venue settings, etc., everywhere is money.

Even though there will be a booth fee for each stall, this booth fee does not add up much.

The reward of 10,000 yuan, it seems that the deduction and search is actually the best effort of the organizers.

The reward of 10,000 yuan is still somewhat attractive, but most of them are not worth it.

As for the mystery prize, few people care, and with that mysterious energy, it is better to give an extra reward of tens of thousands, which can stimulate everyone's enthusiasm more.

It doesn't matter if the reward is not rewarded, even if there is no reward, these people who participate in the food festival will do their best. After all, it is to make money, sell more and earn more, if you can get a reward of 10,000 yuan in addition to making money, it is not bad.

In this food festival, the organizers also invited some Internet celebrities to promote it at that time, and now it is the Internet era, and the effect of Internet celebrity publicity may be better than that of ordinary stars.

Most of these influencers are local influencers in K-City, and they are completely sponsored for free to promote.

This is to promote the food culture of K City, as the people of K City, they naturally hope that their parents will be better, and they are willing to make a modest contribution to the development of their hometown.

Everything is ready, just the arrival of the festival!

…………

"Brother Dian, do you think our pastries can make money?" Lou Xiangpeng asked with some concern.

As the opening of the food festival approached, he became more and more worried.

He still has confidence in his craft, but his confidence is useless, and he has to be tested by diners.

Gao Dian comforted: "It's okay, we've done our best, even if we don't make any money in the end, it's nothing." ”

When Lou Xiangpeng heard this comfort, he became even more worried.

"I'm done with no money." Lou Xiangpeng muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Gao Dian didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, Brother Dian, we must make money." Lou Xiangpeng said.

Gao Dian smiled dumbly, looked at Lou Xiangpeng and said, "You are very short of money now?" ”

"It's not that we don't lack money, but since we have done it, we must do our best." Lou Xiangpeng said.

"Don't worry, I've tasted the spring rolls you made, they're delicious, as long as someone has tasted them, they will definitely buy them. Even if we can't make too much money, we shouldn't lose money. Gao Dian said.

Lou Xiangpeng nodded with a wry smile, he didn't explain to Gao Dian.

Gao Dian patted him on the shoulder and did not speak.

In Gao Dian's view, Lou Xiangpeng is nervous, but it is actually normal, when he set up a stall for the first time, he was also nervous.

Later, I slowly got used to it.

…………

Yuan Xiaomeng is an Internet celebrity who posted short videos on the Internet, and because she was beautiful and had a good voice, she soon became popular on the Internet and had a group of fans.

The main direction of her videos is to go to various places to eat, but unlike mukbang, she is more inclined to visit store bloggers.

Yuan Xiaomeng is a wild Internet celebrity, and she has not signed a company, and even now, there are very few people in her team.

Sometimes Yuan Xiaomeng will also accept some advertisements, but not too often, she enjoys a feeling of exploring and sharing the process.

Being a short video blogger is not Yuan Xiaomeng's subjective will. She just likes to walk around, eat and drink.

Then she used to record this process, and once posted it on the Internet, she found that many netizens liked to watch it, so she kept posting it.

Yuan Xiaomeng is the kind of Internet celebrity who is more willful, and she doesn't accept too many advertisements. However, this also guarantees the quality of her videos.

Although as a blogger who visits the store, Yuan Xiaomeng's popularity is not bad, but he is not too popular.

The main reason is that she doesn't like to wear some uniforms and black silk or something, which can be worn, but not necessary.

The unique style is also loved by many netizens.

This time Yuan Xiaomeng came to K City, the famous ancient capital, she first visited various historical and cultural monuments, and then ate and drank in K City.

This time, she stayed in K City for a long time, mainly because the food festival in K City was about to start. She thinks it's probably good material, and there's definitely a lot to eat at the festival.

Time flows like flowing water.

The holiday season that many people are looking forward to is coming.

National Day, as a three-day legal holiday, is a festival that many people look forward to.

Generally, there are only one day of statutory holidays like the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, but the National Day is different, it is three days.

Some companies will even add weekends together, and a small week of vacation is equivalent to half of the Spring Festival.

At this time, traveling has become the first choice for many people.

After all, it's too boring to stay at home for a few days, it's better to go out and take a look, the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, it's a pity not to see it,

Of course, when traveling at this time, you will also encounter some problems, that is, there are too many people.

There have been cases where you have been stuck in traffic for a day or two when you go out on a trip.

Even if you arrive at the destination smoothly, there are too many people, and you can only watch the crowds, the scenery or something, and the viewing is not enjoyable.

But this does not stop everyone's enthusiasm, at this time, there are still a lot of people who go out to travel.

Gao Dian can feel the festive atmosphere, not because he also goes to see places of interest, but because the price of the hotel he lives in has increased!

There is no way, there are a lot of people who come to K City every year, and the business of the hotel will naturally improve.

Gao Dian felt sorry for his wallet and lamented the high price.

But there is no way, you have to live, and you have to live with the price increase.

Tomorrow is the National Day, and many people have already arrived in K City this evening.

It is estimated that tomorrow the places of interest in K City will be crowded again, and you can only see a black head, and you can't see anything else.

However, Gao Dian doesn't care about this, he cares more about tomorrow's food festival.

That's right, the first day of the food festival is the National Day.

Today, Gao Dian came back early to rest, because Lou Xiangpeng asked him to get up early tomorrow.

Shortly after returning to the hotel, my parents called.

"Son, where are you going to play on the National Day?" Mother asked.

"There's nowhere to go." Gao Dian said.

"That's right, you come back, I'll introduce you to a girl." Mother said.

Gao Dian felt a headache when he heard this, he was still so young, why did he have to embark on the road of blind date?

"Mom, I just remembered that a friend asked me to go to K City to play, so I won't go back." Gao Dian said.

"What friend? Male or female? ”

"Man, okay Mom, I'll hang up if I don't say anything." After Gao Dian finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

He didn't want to go back on a blind date, he was still young, so he didn't need a blind date at all.

After washing up, Takano lay down and went to sleep.

Next.

"Brother Dian! Brother Dian! Hurry up and wake up! Lou Xiangpeng shouted on the phone.

Gao Dian glanced at the dark sky outside, it was only past four o'clock, and he couldn't help but say, "Get up so early?" ”

"Brother Dian, it's not too early, now drive over, it's almost five o'clock, we have to prepare a lot of things in advance, and when we are ready, there will be almost a guest coming." Lou Xiangpeng said.

Gao Dian got up, what Lou Xiangpeng said made sense, they still have a lot to do in preparation.

Not to mention anything else, Lou Xiangpeng's fresh ingredients for making spring rolls have to be bought now, and these ingredients will have to be processed after buying.

It takes a lot of time to mix the noodles and make the fillings in advance.

Because of the large flow of people at the food festival, Gao Dian and Lou Xiangpeng both plan to prepare more noodles to avoid not having enough to sell.

Hurriedly packed up, Gao Dian walked out of the hotel.

"Did you bring any kitchen utensils?" Gao Dian asked.

"Don't worry, I've got it all with me." Lou Xiangpeng said.

The two went to the wholesale market to buy fresh ingredients, and there were already people at this time.

Then the two of them carried a cart of ingredients to the place where the food festival was held.

It's half past five in the morning, and there are already quite a few people at the food festival venue.

It seems that they are all prepared in advance.

Food festivals have a lot of traffic and frequent purchases, so you can't wait for someone to buy them before you make them slowly.

So a lot of the production steps are done in advance, and when someone comes to buy it, only the final cooking is needed.

Gao Dian and Lou Xiangpeng carried things to their stalls, and the two worked together, and it didn't take long for them to finish.

Lou Xiangpeng set up the kitchen utensils, and the two worked together, and some ingredients were processed together, but some had to be separated.

For example, noodles.

Gao Dian made lily cakes, while Lou Xiangpeng made spring rolls, and the two are not the same.

The lard is boiled a day in advance, and it is too slow and time-consuming to boil it on the spot.

Gao Dian began to mix noodles, puff pastry, oil and water, and he made a lot of two kinds of dough.

Later, he started to make the filling, which was a lot of work, especially if the portions were very large, and it was even more time-consuming.

At this time, Gao Dian was a little glad that Lou Xiangpeng told him to get up early, if he got up later, he might not be able to complete these preparations before the tourists came.

As the sky gets brighter and the sun slowly rises, the flavors of this food street begin to waft through the fragrance.
