Chapter 231: Goals
Frankly speaking, the way of communication at this year's Leaping Fish Banquet was somewhat unexpected by Qin Lang.
Under such rules, many of the aquatic and seafood dishes he had prepared could not be used.
However, Qin Lang did not resist the challenge of food, so although he was a little surprised, he still patiently began to analyze the issues that needed to be paid attention to in this leaping fish feast.
Thanks to his years of experience in the catering industry in his previous life, Qin Lang is not completely ignorant of the operation of mobile stalls.
Combined with the feeling of patronizing the food stalls after coming into this world, he quickly grasped some important points.
First of all, it is the speed of delivery.
In a normal food competition, you only need to complete the cooking of the dishes within the specified time and send the dishes to the judges for tasting.
The speed of completion will have a certain effect, but not much.
But when it comes to stall business, that's not the case.
Diners' patience is limited, and it's impossible to wait in a long queue for an hour or more.
Under normal circumstances, if the waiting time is more than 10 minutes, diners may give up queuing, not to mention that everyone's stalls are together, and they can go to other stalls to taste if they give up this side.
Therefore, the speed of food delivery is a great advantage, and it will inevitably become one of the bases for food selection.
It would be even better if it could be done in batches, multiple copies at once.
There is another advantage to the fast delivery of meals.
That is, more diners can taste the food they prepared at the same time, so that more diners are likely to vote for themselves.
Just imagine, if a royal spirit chef procrastinates after setting up a stall, and the number of diners served in three days is only a hundred, then no matter how delicious the food he cooks, the final number of votes will be at most 100 votes.
In addition to this, there is another important point.
That's the price.
Mr. Shen He made it clear that the Yuehu City Imperial Chef Association will be responsible for the supply of all the ingredients for the Yuehu Fish Feast, but this supply is not free and needs to be purchased.
The price of the food served at the stall is determined by the chef himself.
It seems that the degree of freedom is very high, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that there are great restrictions on the ingredients.
The stall operation eliminates the possibility of exchanging cooking event points for ingredients.
And the top ingredients that can be bought are not cheap at a price.
Even if you don't make a penny, it is difficult for all diners to accept it after cooking it into a delicacy and selling it at cost price.
As for selling at a price below cost...
Yes, yes, but if there are too many diners, the loss is very difficult to bear.
So this seemingly unrestricted way of communication actually naturally limits the value of ingredients.
Or... Another train of thought?
Qin Lang's heart moved slightly.
The youth group set up a stall and needed to serve two different cuisines.
For all age groups, three different cuisines are served.
The final vote for the Chef is the sum of the votes for all the dishes.
Then it seems feasible to prepare food for diners of different consumption levels.
One is inexpensive and uses more common ingredients.
The other is a bit more expensive and uses higher quality ingredients.
Well... That's not a bad way to do it.
The third important point is the amount of stomach in the diner.
With so many stalls, diners naturally prefer to taste as many different dishes as possible, but their stomachs are fixed, so they will inevitably make trade-offs.
At this time, the amount of food is important.
Making a meal that will fill up with the diners will reduce the likelihood that diners will go to other stalls to taste it, but diners are not fools, and they are likely to give up just because the portion is too large.
Therefore, making the portions of food less is good for the stall operation.
On the other hand, if the portion size is smaller, the cost will be lower, and the lower the price can be given.
After quickly analyzing and summarizing these three points, Qin Lang's eyes became brighter and brighter.
With these restrictions, he already had some ideas about what kind of food he wanted to come up with for this Leaping Fish Banquet.
However, Qin Lang was not in a hurry to make a decision at this moment.
After all, there are still twelve days left before the Leaping Fish Feast.
He can definitely take a look at the local specialties of Yuehu City during his visit, and then decide which two foods to choose.
After all...
Although the Leaping Fish Feast is a food event for the entire Singing Whale State, the diners are more locals in Yuehu City.
If you choose a food that caters to the tastes of the locals, it will naturally be more popular.
"Qin Lang?" Li Hong's voice brought Qin Lang back to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about the Leaping Fish Banquet just now, and I was a little distracted." Qin Lang smiled apologetically, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"There's still twelve days left, which is plenty of time." Shen He smiled slightly, "Compared to this, what do you think about adding cuttlefish juice to pasta for cooking?" ”
“… Ha? ”
…
Whale State, Jade City.
"Let us use the warmest applause to congratulate Zhou Tianhao from Tianhua Prefecture for winning the championship of this year's Jade City Cooking Competition!"
As the host's passionate voice resounded throughout the audience, enthusiastic cheers and applause came from all over the Jade Arena.
Standing in the center of the arena, Zhou Tianhao nodded slightly to his opponent with a relaxed smile on his face.
I still remember that when he first became the Imperial Spirit Chef, he was not too talented in cooking, but he had an extraordinary talent in combat.
So after several attempts, Zhou Tianhao finally devoted himself to the training event, and finally paid off and won the Tianhua State training event.
But with the passage of time and the growth of experience, his cooking skills have been imperceptibly improving.
Participating in a cooking event that he hadn't participated in for a long time, although it was a bit difficult, he still won his first municipal championship.
And the reason why Zhou Tianhao suddenly paid attention to the cooking path that he had neglected before had a lot to do with the battle with the Star Hunter that day.
He couldn't forget the star-picking hunter who was similar to his Spirit Eater star, and easily achieved a dozen or two with the crushing of the taste value.
If you pay more attention to the cooking path and increase the taste value of the food spirit faster, the strength that can be exerted in the spirit battle will also be correspondingly enhanced.
So this time for the Whale State trip, he had two goals.
The first is to challenge the third-level spirit holder in Honshu and obtain the second third-level spirit holder emblem.
The second is to work hard to improve his cooking skills in Whale State, and strive to obtain five second-level food recommender badges to participate in state-level cooking competitions.
Now, the first step of his second goal has been completed.
After receiving the first second-level food recommender badge from the second-level food recommender in Chuyu City, Zhou Tianhao's face was even more smiling.
He already had an idea of where he was going next.
The upcoming Leaping Fish Banquet in Yuehu City is a good opportunity for culinary exchanges.
