Chapter Forty-Six: Lo-mei Exploded
"What does Boss Xiao Chen do? So fragrant? ”
An old man stuck his head in the window.
"Sauce-flavored pig's head and elbow in the store!" Chen Yu responded with a smile.
"How much is a pound?" The old man asked eagerly.
Chen Yu thought for a moment: "Fifty yuan a catty!" ”
The old man hesitated for a moment, this price was indeed more expensive than the lo-mei outside.
But the smell was so enticing.
"Half a catty pig's head, half a catty elbow, and two more vegetable corners!"
Chen Yu hurriedly took out the special electronic scale in the kitchen, weighed half a catty each, and sent it out.
The old man paid the money, and happily found a table with the lo-mei, and devoured it.
This can make the guests next to you look greedy.
They rushed to buy in front of the window.
At six o'clock in the morning, Tong Yacai walked down the stairs slowly with Tuan Tuan.
It's just that Tong Ya was a little embarrassed when she came down, this was the first time she slept lazy.
But when she walked down, all the emotions in her heart were occupied by the fragrance that permeated the hall on the first floor.
Tuan Tuan even leaned his little nose and trotted all the way into the kitchen.
"Dad, what are you doing deliciously, so fragrant?"
Chen Yu smiled and took out a large piece of pig's head meat from the pot.
It was divided into two pieces and given to Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan respectively.
After the two of them couldn't wait to eat it, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh my God, it's delicious!" Tong Ya screamed unconsciously.
She has eaten a lot of lo-mei, but this one made by Chen Yu is the best she has ever tasted.
Tuan Tuan was even more excited and speechless, holding the bowl in his little hand and trembling uncontrollably.
"How much are you going to sell this for?" Tong Ya looked at Chen Yu with an expectant gaze.
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows: "Fifty yuan a catty, the price has been marked"
Tong Ya was suddenly anxious: "Such a delicious lo-mei, you sell so much?" ”
She has ever eaten the most delicious lo-mei, which can be sold for 2,000 yuan per catty.
The lo-mei made by Chen Yu tastes above it, even if it sells for 3,000 yuan, it is not too much.
"Quite a few!" Chen Yu smiled: "After all, the cost is there, and the price is fifty yuan, and I have already made a lot of money." ”
Tong Ya couldn't help but be stunned, she found that she admired the man in front of her more and more.
Doing business in a down-to-earth manner, not pursuing profits, is simply a rare and excellent man in the world.
After eating a small piece of elbow, Tong Yacai reluctantly put down the bowl.
She knew that these lo-mei were for sale, not for her to eat.
"Then I'll take Tuan Tuan to the kindergarten first, and when I come back in the evening, you must help me keep some lo-mei."
Chen Yu smiled slightly and nodded.
Tong Ya picked up Tuan Tuan's schoolbag and was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and ran to Chen Yu's side.
"I haven't left yet, I'm already thinking about you!"
After speaking, Tong Ya pulled Tuan Tuan with a red face and ran away happily.
Chen Yu's body stiffened for a long time before she reacted, and this girl became more and more unscrupulous when she talked about love.
Three pig's heads, three elbows combined, a total of twenty-five catties, were sold out in less than half an hour after they came out of the pot.
Chen Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out five, oversized cylindrical pressure cookers from the warehouse.
At the same time, a huge pot was propped up.
What I just did was just an experiment, and once I had mastered the strength and technique, I could use a pressure cooker to shorten the simmering time.
Chen Yu poured water into the cauldron and served it with white vinegar and ginger slices.
After removing the blood from the head and elbows with this pot, it is then placed in a pressure cooker to simmer.
A rough calculation of the ratio of the simmering time of a pressure cooker to a regular cooker.
Chen Yu did it in a big way.
The whole process can be stewed in a pot in nearly half an hour.
Five large pressure cookers, each pot can stew forty catties of lo-mei at one time.
That is to say, in half an hour, you can produce 200 catties of lo-mei.
In the first round, the five-pot lo-mei came out of the pot, and the whole store suddenly exploded.
"Boss Xiao Chen, quickly bring me three catties, and I'll take them back to eat."
"Give me two pounds!"
……
In this way, the cabbage corners and fried cakes are not fragrant all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes are focused on the lo-mei.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the store was still crowded.
At this time, there is no traffic in the store.
With lo-mei, even if it's lunch in the store.
However, there are no staple foods such as dough cakes in the store, so many people eat them with lo-mei in the vegetable corner.
This led to a significant increase in the sales of vegetable corners today.
Chen Yu wondered if he should cooperate with outside merchants and buy some bread and the like.
The excitement lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon.
The previous vegetable corner and fried cake have accumulated a lot of foot traffic for the store.
Therefore, lo-mei was popular as soon as it was launched.
As of now, the fourth round of lo-mei is about to be sold out.
Another round, and the 500 catties of pig's head and 500 catties of elbows that came in last night will be sold out.
Just when Chen Yu was preparing for the fifth round non-stop, Tong Ya suddenly called.
"Do you want me to bring you some food back today?"
I don't know if Tong Ya did it on purpose or what's going on, she deliberately suppressed her throat when she spoke.
Chen Yuqing coughed: "Then bring fifty pieces of bread when you come back!" ”
"Okay, wait for me."
Chen Yu hung up the phone in a hurry, and the two sentences just now made Chen Yu's body feel as if he had been shocked.
If he says two more sentences, he will be numbed to death.
At this moment, a large number of customers are scrambling to line up in front of the shop window, for fear that they will not be able to buy lo-mei.
Su Qing, Han Cai and Zhao Meng were there nervously maintaining order.
Now the kitchen on the first floor has cut off the supply of vegetable corners and fried cakes, and it has completely become a lo-mei special.
So far, in the last round, all 190 catties of lo-mei have been booked.
Those who didn't line up could only leave in a huff.
"Boss Xiao Chen, let's get more lo-mei tomorrow, we haven't bought it yet."
"It's also too fragrant, much better than the lo-mei on East Street."
"Boss Xiao Chen's craftsmanship really doesn't have to be said."
……
When Tong Ya came back with Tuan Tuan, the last round of lo-mei was just out of the pot.
The tantalizing scent made them involuntarily rush into the kitchen.
However, soon as the crowd dispersed, the last round of lo-mei was sold out.
Fortunately, Chen Yu was prescient and left nearly ten catties of lo-mei.
However, this time coincides with the rush hour, and there is still a large flow of people into the store to buy vegetable corners and fried cakes.
It wasn't until 8 p.m. that the crowd gradually dispersed.
Chen greeted everyone, and then took out the ten catties of lo-mei that were left.
The scattered aroma made everyone salivate at once.
