"What a restaurant in the Forbidden City! The price is just not ordinary. ”

"Tsk! Two thousand pounds of tribute rice, two thousand is enough for my family to eat rice for a year. ”

"Although Brother Yi's craftsmanship is indeed very strong, the fried rice of 188 yuan is still a bit against the sky."

"I can't afford to eat, I can't afford to eat, I'm bothered."

Seeing that the audience in the live broadcast room was either mocking or ridiculing, Li Yi smiled and said nothing.

If he were to sell it, the price would have at least doubled.

Because Huang Xiaoming only calculated the price of materials, but did not calculate his labor costs.

Craftsmanship is also valuable.

In order to learn this craft, he spent more than twenty years in the dream space, which is not money?

However, he has already agreed with the program team, signed a contract, and gets paid on a daily basis.

So the program team has the final say on how much the price is, and he is only responsible for making the dishes.

On the satellite car, Wang Tian also saw the audience's ridicule barrage, but she was prepared.

"Director, cut and purchase materials."

Under her instructions, the live broadcast of the show switched to the edited video screen, which was the video of Li Yi taking Liu Yifei, Zhao Jinmai and Wu Lei to visit the farmers' market and purchase ingredients.

After returning from visiting the market that day, Wang Tian asked the later stage to seize the time and edit out the video content, just to cope with today's situation.

With the broadcast of the video, the audience in the live broadcast room of the show also saw the whole process of Li Yi's procurement of ingredients.

In the video, the voice of Li Yi talking to the owner of the wholesale market is clear.

The rice dealer boss mysteriously came out with a bag of rice, grabbed a handful and showed it to Li Yi: "This is the real Jingshanqiao tribute rice, not the kind that can be bought on the market, this is the kind of tribute rice in Sunqiao Town, which is more than 3,000 catties a year, and it will be gone after it is sold."

Those pieces of land have been regarded as tribute rice since the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and officials have been sent to the local supervision and harvest every year, and it has been more than 400 years now, and the county annals can be found. ”

In the picture, Li Yi grabbed a handful of rice and smelled it, then looked at it carefully, and introduced: "The characteristics of Jingshanqiao tribute rice are dry, whole, ripe, and white, with green stems like jade, and a very small belly. And its particles are slender, smooth and transparent, and its length is the longest of all the gonmi.

There is a local folk song singing this kind of rice, saying that the bridge rice is long, three rice is one inch long, the bridge rice is bent, three rice is around a circle, the bridge rice is fragrant, and the three bowls eat the agarwood, which is said that the rice grains of this rice are very long.

Looking at the length of this meter, it is indeed the real Jingshan Bridge tribute rice, but the gloss is slightly worse, it should be last year's rice.

However, last year's rice can also be used, and the price is more cost-effective, two thousand yuan a catty, which is not expensive.

If it's new rice this year, it's not at this price, and it may not be available. ”

As soon as the picture turned, Li Yi came to a shop selling mushrooms again and consulted the boss about the price of mushrooms.

"Boss, do you have any fresh dried mushrooms?"

"No, it has to be transported by air."

"Where's matsutake mushrooms?"

"No, it has to be transported by air."

"You can order it, right?"

"It depends on luck, even if you can book it, buy it in the capital, the price is very expensive, and you have to give a deposit first."

"How much does fresh dried mushrooms cost?"

"At least eight hundred and one pounds."

"Expensive, right?"

"It's already cheaper for you, now this season, you have to buy fresh dried mushrooms locally for three or five hundred and one pounds, this is the capital, and it will be shipped by air, and it doesn't make you money."

"Where's matsutake mushrooms?"

"Fresh ones have to be lucky, they can be contacted, and good quality is at least 3,001 catties, the bigger the more expensive."

"Almost, dried matsutake mushrooms?"

"Dried matsutake mushrooms are more expensive, the most inferior ones are two thousand and one catties, I don't recommend you to buy them, the good ones are six thousand and one catties, and the price is a little more expensive, but the price is worth the goods, pure wild, and the taste is definitely enough."

"Market price, help me weigh a pound of top-grade dried matsutake mushrooms, and then help me order two fresh matsutake mushrooms, I want top-notch goods!" Don't fool me with any agaricus mushrooms. ”

"Don't worry! You know, how did I fool you? And I'm doing business here, I can't run away, if I lie to you, how else can I do business? ”

"Can I order other fungi too?"

"Look what you want! The price is not cheap anyway. ”

"I buy a lot of them, so get a discount!"

"Alright, alright! I'll give you a ninety-five discount! This kind of fresh mushrooms really doesn't make money, and it's very troublesome to order. ”

"Deal."

……

Looking at the procurement screen and listening to Li Yi and the bosses bargaining, the mocking barrage in the live broadcast room gradually disappeared.

Seeing is believing, the words of the market owner in the video are clear, these ingredients are really so expensive!

"There are really two thousand pounds of rice! I have seen it for a long time! ”

"Scarcity is expensive, more than 3,000 catties a year, and the price is definitely not cheap."

"It's good to be rich, even the amount of rice you can eat is limited."

"No matter how delicious it is, it's too much to sell for two thousand pounds, right? Does the price bureau not care? ”

"Tortoise! It is worthy of the luxury of mushrooms, 6,001 catties of matsutake mushrooms! It's more expensive than silver! The silver is only 4,001 catties! ”

"It's that I'm not worthy, did the program team win the lottery this season? So sparingly expensive? ”

"Is that what the ultimate taste means? Is it really according to the standards of the palace? ”

"Well, even if you don't sell it, how many people can afford it? Just order a few meals, and you will get tens of thousands of fried dishes, how many people in the whole country can eat 10,000 in one meal? ”

Looking at the barrage comments after the audience's attitude changed, Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief.

But the last barrage does illustrate the thorny situation that restaurants are facing now, that is, the problem of customer source.

The ingredients used in the restaurant are all good, but the price problem does stop a large number of people.

But Li Yi was not in a hurry.

Commodities at this price are not in the first place, and they must be calm and uphold the principle of not opening for three years and eating for three years in order to do business.

People who are willing to spend 10,000 yuan for a meal will not mind spending another 10,000 at all.

If the heart is not ruthless, the knife is not fast, how to cut leeks?

But others don't have the same good mentality as he has.

For artists, the most important thing in the show is not to complete the so-called tasks set by the program team, but to play and contribute wonderful content.

If there are no customers coming to the door, then the show is missing a big chunk of content.

So, Huang Xiaoming, who couldn't hold back, simply went directly to the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall to pick up the guests, wanting to brush his face and pull the guests in to consume.

But after seeing the prices on the menu, the guests who brought in made various excuses to leave, and he was busy for more than an hour, and he didn't make a single business.

"It doesn't matter, the first day of business today is to test the water, even if it is not open, you can accumulate some experience."

Huang Xiaoming is cheering everyone on.

But it can also be heard from his words that his confidence is not very strong.

For a while, the atmosphere in the restaurant gradually became dull, and Wang Tian in the satellite car also began to waver, hesitating whether it was time to use the group performance to support it.

But at this moment, a middle-aged couple with a child came to the restaurant.

Liu Yifei immediately greeted him: "Hello, do you want to eat something?" ”

Seeing her, the boy, who was obviously a high school student, widened his eyes in surprise and was speechless.

His parents, on the other hand, were distracted by the camera positions around him.

"What are you doing...... Filming a show? ”

The middle-aged man asked a question hesitantly.

"Yes."

Huang Xiaoming greeted him and introduced: "We are recording the seventh season of Mango Channel's "Chinese Restaurant", which is a food show, do you want to eat?" ”

"yes, a little hungry."

The middle-aged man asked, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

"Yes, it's the menu."

Liu Yifei handed him the menu and reminded: "But the materials we use are more expensive, so the price is more expensive, can you see if it's acceptable?" ”

"Huh? Taishan Sanfu soup? It's supposed to be a three-beauty soup, right? ”

The middle-aged man looked up and asked, "Are you doing a Taishan tofu feast?" ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Liu Yifei was a little surprised, he was the first customer to say the name of the tofu feast.

"I am a native of Tai'an, Lu Province."

The middle-aged man smiled: "Our people all know about the Taishan tofu feast, but no one knows how to do it anymore, are you sure that it is an authentic tofu feast?" ”

At this time, Li Yi's voice came from the kitchen door: "It's like a fake." ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, the middle-aged man nodded: "Then I really want to taste it." ”

As he spoke, he looked down at the menu and ordered a few dishes: "I want a salted tofu, dried tofu with sauce, Qilin blessing, Taishan Sanmei soup, can you make it?" ”
