Chapter 348: Pre-sale

Regarding Wei Qiaoyi's proposal, Gao Dian went back and thought about it for several days.

It's not that Gao Dian is too calculating and doesn't consider the relationship with Wei Qiaoyi.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of his relationship with Wei Qiaoyi that he is so cautious.

It's easy to say that you can open a store in partnership, but it's not easy to actually do it.

It's not that enough money and enough cooking skills can solve the problem of opening a good store.

And with the current level of Gaodian, it is not enough to support a high-end hotel.

Besides, the partnership between the two is easy to affect the relationship between the two regardless of profit or loss, and sometimes the relationship is mixed with money, and it is easy to deteriorate.

Gao Dian was reluctant, so he was cautious.

In the next few days, Wei Qiaoyi didn't mention it again, as if she just mentioned it by chance that day, and she didn't take it too seriously.

It's almost the annual Dragon Boat Festival, and there are still three days to go.

In fact, he didn't care much about the Dragon Boat Festival before, but it was the same, the only difference from usual was that he had to eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Among the traditional festivals, there are many festivals about food, such as eating dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, eating tangyuan during the Lantern Festival, eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, and eating mooncakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Every place is different, and the food at the festival is different.

Like the Spring Festival in China, there are different Spring Festival delicacies in various places, and if you write it down, it is estimated that it will be difficult to write a book.

And abroad, different festivals, there are also corresponding foods.

Among the many festivals in China, there are only two festivals, and the food is basically fixed, which can be seen during the festival, and the rest of the time is rare.

These two festivals are the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The dumplings of the Dragon Boat Festival and the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival are basically used throughout the country, although the customs of each place are different, but these two are also essential delicacies for the festival.

In addition to eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, some places will also eat salted duck eggs.

From the white taste at the beginning, zongzi has developed to the present, and there are countless flavors, all kinds of strange.

There was even a dispute between salty and sweet zongzi.

The shape of the zongzi has not changed much, although so many years have passed, it is still the shape of the zongzi.

The business of the day passed, and in the evening, Gao Dian began to make zongzi.

The glutinous rice is soaked in the morning, and the ingredients for making the zongzi are also prepared.

He didn't prepare many flavors, but they were both salty and sweet, and they could be regarded as both.

The main ingredient for making zongzi is glutinous rice, and then you need to wrap the leaves of zongzi, which can be purchased online and are not expensive.

As for what to taste for, it depends on personal wishes.

If the taste is normal, you can make rice dumplings with dates, bacon, and fresh meat, and those with a unique taste, such as spicy strips, crayfish, and mustard.

In fact, zongzi is a very inclusive pastry, according to Gao Dian's observation, the more widely circulated the pastry, the stronger the inclusiveness.

In addition to zongzi, like buns, dumplings, and moon cakes, they are also very inclusive.

And the lily cake made by Xiang Gaodian is not so inclusive.

Yan Sen and Yan Li cleaned up the outside and cleaned up together, and the speed was much faster.

After getting along these days, Yan Li is also used to the work of Dianxinpu.

The intensity of work here depends on the time period, and every time it comes, I will be idle and panicked, but when it comes to that time, I can't stop being busy.

Yan Sen walked into the kitchen and saw Gao Dian making zongzi, so he stood aside to study.

Gao Dian wrapped up for a while, and when he saw Yan Sen watching from the side, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want to try it?" ”

When Yan Sen heard this, he asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course, you can come over and I'll teach you." Gao Dian said.

In fact, he has only just learned how to make zongzi, but his level is high enough, and it is enough to teach Yan Sen.

Yan Sen stepped forward and began to wrap up under Gao Dian's teaching.

It is actually not difficult to make zongzi, and soon Yan Sen got started, and he became more and more proficient, and the bag naturally became more and more beautiful.

Yan Li came in later and also joined the team of making zongzi.

Compared with Yan Sen, Yan Li, a girl, is more ingenious, and the dumplings are better than Yan Sen's.

Soon, the three of them wrapped up a lot of zongzi, and the next thing was for Gao Dian to do it alone.

He put the rice dumplings in the water and began to boil.

In fact, it is not difficult to make zongzi, and ordinary people can make it as long as they learn it.

Because of the low difficulty of production, zongzi can be spread so widely.

But it's easy to make, but it's another thing to make it good or not, and it's not easy to make it delicious.

How long to soak glutinous rice, the proportion of various ingredients and condiments, the cooking time, and the cooking temperature are all the keys to whether the zongzi are delicious or not.

Nowadays, most people don't make their own zongzi, but spend money to buy them outside.

This is not only because the taste of the rice dumplings made by myself is average, but more importantly, because of laziness.

Although zongzi is difficult to make, it is a bit troublesome to make because it cannot be made in one go, but it takes time to wait.

Like glutinous rice to soak, after wrapping it has to be boiled.

Gao Dian is also the first time to make his own zongzi, which used to be gifts issued by the company, and the taste is just like that, not delicious, but not unpalatable.

The zongzi made by this assembly line are generally not too delicious.

The siblings didn't stay long before leaving work.

Gao Dian is boiling alone, this is a big project, so much, it takes a long time to boil the pot.

…………

The next day, Gao Dian got up early and took out the zongzi that had been frozen in the refrigerator last night, and he wanted to take it to vacuum.

Although this zongzi is cooked, the storage time is too short, if it is simply frozen in the refrigerator, it will not be able to be stored for too long, and the best way is to vacuum.

Vacuuming, a way to keep fresh, is better than freezing the freezer.

Of course, if it is convenient and affordable, then it is better to have a refrigerator.

The place where the vacuum was pumped was not far away, and Gao Dian had told people yesterday that he would bring things over today.

Because there are too many zongzi, they can't be smoked for a while and a half, and Gao Dian has to open for business today, so it is impossible to wait here all the time.

The boss said that after he finished drawing, he would send it to Gao Dian.

Gao Dian readily agreed, and immediately returned to the store.

The earlier thing, he handed it over to Yan Sen to sell, and he did it, and Yan Sen was responsible for selling it.

By the time he returned, Yan Sen had already begun to pack up the steamers, and it seemed that they were all sold out.

Time passed slowly, and as it approached noon, guests gradually came.

However, Gao Dian has not prepared the ingredients yet, so they are all waiting.

They are also regular customers, and they are not in a hurry, and they start chatting in the store.

They came so early because they had nothing to do, so they simply came earlier, and there would still be a place for them, and they could eat as soon as possible.

At this time, the vacuuming boss walked in with a box, and shouted in a loud voice when he entered the door: "Boss Gao, I sent you the vacuumed zongzi." ”

After a while, a voice came from the kitchen: "Okay, wait a minute." ”

Gao Dian hurriedly walked out and looked at the zongzi in the box, which was really not a few.

There are still some people he wants to send, so naturally he can't do too little.

After paying the boss, Gao Dian was about to move the zongzi inside, when a person sitting in the store suddenly spoke: "Boss, are you making your own zongzi?" ”

Gao Dian smiled when he heard this: "Yes, I did it myself." ”

The man immediately asked, "Can you sell me some?" ”

Gao Dian was stunned by these words, he didn't expect that someone would buy the zongzi he made.

"I'm sorry, I didn't plan to sell it, I made it to give it away." Gao Dian said apologetically.

The man said, "Boss, you can sell me a little, and you have the final say for how much it is." ”

Gao Dian smiled bitterly: "It's really not that I don't sell, I haven't done much, I have to give it away." ”

"Boss, isn't there still a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise, you sell some to me now, or boss, you can make some more, and I'll get it later." The man said.

This made Gao Dian a little embarrassed, he felt troublesome if he agreed, and he felt bad if he didn't agree, after all, people wanted to buy it so eagerly.

Gao Dian pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, then when do you want it?" ”

"You can get it before the Mid-Autumn Festival." The man said with a smile.

Gao Dian thought about it, the time was in time, he went to buy the ingredients tomorrow, and then made it tomorrow, and went to vacuum the day after tomorrow, the time was just right.

"No problem, by the way, what do you want?" Gao Dian asked.

When the man heard this, he was puzzled: "Can you also order it privately?" Do you want to add more money? ”

Gao Dian said with a smile: "The common taste can be made without adding more money." ”

When the man heard this, he thought for a while and said, "You don't need a special taste, just make some original flavors, and then make some dates." ”

"Yes." Gao Dian nodded and agreed.

These two flavors are not difficult to make, and it can even be said that they are very simple.

"Thank you, boss." The man said with a smile.

"You're welcome." Gao Dian said with a smile.

He was just about to go into the kitchen, and someone said, "Boss, I want to buy it too, can you make some for me?" ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Yes, what flavor do you want to eat." ”

Anyway, one sheep is also driving, and two sheep are also driving, so I simply agreed to come down.

"I want to eat red beans and fresh meat."

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, someone else said, "Boss, I want to sell too." ”

"What do you want?"

"I want bacon and fat sausages." The man said.

Gao Dian: ???

He can understand bacon, but what is the price of fat sausage?

Can fat intestines also wrap zongzi?

He thought about it, it's not impossible to pack fat intestines, the question is...... The dumplings wrapped in fat intestines are sure to be eaten, so there is no smell of pigs?

For a while, Gao Dian looked at the man's gaze a little weird, this taste is a bit heavy.

Seeing Gao Dian's gaze, the man coughed, and asked cautiously, "Can't you do it?" ”

"You can do it, but are you sure it tastes good? I didn't do that...... Unique taste, why don't you think about it and change it? Gao Dian said.

The man also felt that his taste was a little heavy, and said, "I just want to try a new flavor, but if you suggest changing it, boss, then change it to the original flavor." ”

Gao Dian nodded, relieved in his heart, he really didn't want to make this kind of heavy-flavored zongzi.

Gao Dian went to get a pen and paper, and wrote down everything everyone said, including how many they wanted.

The price, Gao Dian didn't set it too high, and he didn't plan to make much money from zongzi, just in the past two days, he couldn't make much money by setting a high price.

As soon as I finished remembering, someone came in at the door, and when I inquired, I knew that they had all ordered zongzi here in Gaodian, so I asked for it.

Gao Dian had no choice but to let everyone line up and say them one by one.

Not to mention that everyone's tastes are strange, many people have put forward some strange tastes, and these taste requests have been rejected by Gao Dian, this kind of taste is too strange, he doesn't want to do it at all.

Another reason is that Gao Dian only learned a few common flavors, and he didn't learn too strange flavors, and some flavors couldn't find the formula, so he had to explore them himself.

For example, the fat intestine flavor.

Soon, Gao Dian found that there were too many people to sell, and he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly called it off, and the ones he wanted to buy later were not sold.

The later ones sighed very much, and they all felt that they had come too late, while the people in front were proud, glad that they had come early.

They still have great expectations for the zongzi made by Gao Dian, which is not produced on the assembly line, but purely handmade.

Now, the word "handmade" means expensive.

Of course, it is not difficult to buy handmade zongzi, and the reason why they all want to buy them here is that the noodles made by Gaodian are delicious.

Everyone also has great expectations for the zongzi he made.

The matter of zongzi is over for the time being, Gao Dian put aside the paper that recorded the zongzi, walked into the kitchen, and started business at noon today.

Soon, there were more and more people in the store, and both Gao Dian and Yan Sen began to get busy.

In the afternoon, Gao Dian told Yan Sen to go out by himself and carry some zongzi.

There are two main things for him to go out this time.

One is that he wants to buy some gift boxes to hold the zongzi he is carrying, which he is going to send back to his parents.

Because it takes two to three days for express delivery, Gao Dian made zongzi at this time, just to ensure that his parents could eat zongzi on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The second thing is that he wants to buy the ingredients for making zongzi, because there are too many people to buy, he estimates that he can't finish it in one night, so he decided to make use of today's time.

It is not difficult to make zongzi, but it is more troublesome.

He came to a familiar vegetable market, found a familiar shop, bought a batch of ingredients, and then returned to the store.

As soon as I came back, I couldn't wait to wash the glutinous rice, and then put it aside to soak.

If the glutinous rice is not soaked, it will be very hard when cooked, like rice, and the glutinous rice after soaking is boiled, soft and sticky, and it tastes delicious.

There are also some ingredients that also need to be processed, and the time passes slowly, and it is evening in a flash.

Today, it became four people to make zongzi together, in addition to Sister Yan Sen, Wei Qiaoyi also came to help.

She came to look for Gao Dian, and learned that Gao Dian had pre-sold a lot of zongzi, so she joined the ranks of making zongzi.

Of course, she is just a bag, and the rest of the work is done by Gao Dian alone.
