In addition to the Xinjiang and barbarian tribes, some master chefs from Jiangmen, Zigong City, Lexan City, Daqing City, and Rongcheng City have also arrived. The highest-ranking one is already the head chef of a star-rated hotel, wearing a golden dragon kitchen coat with cuffs. The gold edge is ironed and looks very impressive.
"Excuse me, everyone!" Zhang Heng said a simple hello as he walked by.
There are 18 prefecture-level cities, three autonomous regions, and hundreds of counties in Shu. Including the Daqing municipality, the total population exceeds 100 million. It is known as the land of abundance. Let¡¯s not talk about Sichuan cuisine. There are many kinds of specialty snacks in other places. Apart from the repetition of similar dishes, the rest can still keep people coming back and wanting to stop.
For activities like this, the chef who cooks is the key. In the early days, red envelopes were given out to the chefs when hosting a banquet in the village, and red envelopes were given out to the mothers who helped. Now, there is a professional Baba cuisine team. It saves red envelopes, but still has to open a separate table to provide these chef teams with free food and drinks.
In the city, for example, if you are getting married and having a banquet, if you are more knowledgeable about life, you will go to the hotel kitchen the night before the banquet and hand out wedding candies to the chefs, so that the dishes on the next day may still be the same in size. , but the quality and hygiene will definitely be much better. Of course, don¡¯t forget the waiters and waiters. Things can easily happen during the period from the kitchen to the table.
After Zhang Heng ran to teach his sister how to swim, work started here one after another. There were professional electricians among the barbarians. They pulled a distribution box over and directly connected the electricity to each team of chefs. With gas The jars and the stove are also set up.
The location was chosen between the beach and the houses, clearing out an area of ??two acres. More than a hundred barbarians have already prepared tables, chairs, benches, sheds, etc. They also eat dinner here, otherwise they would not be able to digest so much food.
"Xiao Yin. Cousin, let's go, we went to steal the teacher." Zhang Heng said with a bad smile.
The girls nodded and ran over there like thieves. If there was such a chance, most people would not be willing to enter the kitchen, but the atmosphere was different now. Apart from him, the other boys and girls also went there. Bian ran away.
The second batch of chef teams has also landed, but Ke Feng has not arrived yet. But it should be soon.
"So this is how Douhua is made!" Guo Chunyan said in surprise.
The first thing the group looked at was Fushun¡¯s bean curd. There were bean curd shops everywhere in Sichuan, but that was before. In recent years, bean curd shops have closed down one after another, whether they are used as dishes in vegetable markets or street guerrillas, or as match items in restaurants. . The reason is that the production cost of bean curd is too cheap. A pound of beans costs less than three yuan and can produce seven bowls of bean curd. Fifty bowls of soy milk, now a large bowl of tofu pudding with a chili plate and rice only costs 4 yuan in a small town. It is the first choice for villagers to meet their meals when going to the market. Ten years ago, the price of tofu pudding and rice was only 1 yuan and 50 cents.
Nowadays, only a few old brands of bean curd in Sichuan remain. One is the traditional Danshui bean curd from Fushun Town, Rong County, and the other is Xinjiang bean curd from Jiangmen, which is also bean curd. But there are two flavors.
It is easy to make bean curd, but it is not easy to make good bean curd. A pot of bean curd in the city market only costs three yuan, and a piece of tofu only costs one yuan and fifty cents. The price is even cheaper than in rural areas, but of course the quality is infinitely worse.
"Master, please explain it too!" Zhang Heng spoke up. There is no secret recipe for bean curd. It is a popular home-cooked dish. Whether it is good or bad depends on attitude, mainly looking for the reasons from the ingredients.
"Okay!" There are two sheds here, which happen to be the two old brands of bean curd. The one on the left is Fushun bean curd. The boss came out and spoke first. Zhang Heng's accent sounded a bit friendly. His hometown is not too far from Rong County.
The middle-aged shop owner said: "I am from Fushun, and my ancestors have been making tofu curd and tofu using bile water. Boss Zhang, please see, there are fresh soybeans this season, so we use old soybean powder, add fresh soybean milk, and Old soybeans are soaked and beaten into pulp, and some fresh soybean leaves are used as raw materials. The soybeans must be local old soybeans. The particles are only the size of peas and are a little flat. Large soybeans cannot be used because they have a lot of flour residue inside."
Zhang Heng nodded and continued: "Bile water is alkaline water. The tofu and tofu made will be firmer, commonly known as old tofu. Most tofu sold in the market now is made of gypsum. Although it is tender, it is very watery inside. Too much, but the taste is much worse than that of bile.¡±
"Boss Zhang is right, the gypsum bean curd has a faint lime taste and is not delicious." The middle-aged boss answered.
Then he explained that the so-called old soybean powder is the powder made from dried old soybeans, accounting for two-tenths, and then the fresh beans are two-tenths, and the rest is the old soybeans soaked and beaten into a slurry, and a little soybeans. Tender leaves, in fact, if all fresh soybeans are used, the taste will be more tender, but the cost price will be higher. NowFresh green beans this season cost about five to eight yuan a pound. You have to take seasonality into consideration when making food, so it¡¯s better to mix and match this way, and the taste is similar to using all tender green beans.
"How much does this little machine of yours cost?" Xiao Yin asked, pointing to the machine that makes soy milk.
"More than six hundred yuan, two 220-volt batteries, plugs can be changed, and corn, millet, beans, and sweet potatoes can be beaten. It is multi-functional and easy to operate." The middle-aged boss replied cheerfully.
This is a common small household machine in rural areas. It is indeed multi-functional. For example, for making soy flour, you only need to replace a thin plug. A plug only costs about 20 yuan, and the villagers can use it for several years. As for the famous stone-ground bean curd, the beans are mixed with water and ground into a slurry with a stone mill. This will grind the beans more finely and the taste will naturally be better, but the labor cost will increase, which is not good for business. Pick.
The middle-aged boss just gave a general explanation and pointed to the side to explain. After the soy milk is made, put it in the pot and boil it. As for how much water to add, it depends on experience. In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter. If the water is not enough, you can add more later.
After boiling, you need to remove the bean dregs, pour the slurry into fine gauze and wrap it, usually put it in a bamboo basket and squeeze it. Finally, the bean dregs remain in the gauze. This kind of bean dregs has almost no nutrition, and even pigs don¡¯t like it. eat.
Now the slurry left after filtering is thick soy milk. If it is too thick, it will be a little bitter. Add water according to the amount of beans and boil it to become the soy milk sold on the street. It's that simple.
Some unscrupulous bosses directly buy old soybean flour for more than two yuan a pound. Mix a large amount of water, boil, add some sugar and sell it as soy milk, omitting the step of filtering the bean dregs. This kind of soy milk will taste a bit wooden and not smooth enough because there are bean dregs in it, haha.
"I will leave a small pot of soy milk out now and add it to the pot later." The middle-aged man said and poured the filtered soy milk into the pot. It was already hot and boiled in a few minutes. At this time, it should be turned off. Low heat, just a little fire is needed. You can also turn off the fire directly and say: "This is the alkali stone I bought, and it has turned into bile."
That is, in a small jar, the alkaline water inside is similar to the color of vegetable oil. Then use a spoon to scoop some bile water into the pot, go down from the edge of the pot, and use the bottom of the ladle to shake it flatly on the surface of the soy milk. The bile water should be Add it little by little, and the soy milk in the pot gradually becomes condensed. The color of the thick soy milk was a little green, and then it gradually turned white and turned into small flowers, just for a short while. These flowers are gathered together.
During this process, excess water will come out, and then use a bamboo skip to press it flatly on the surface of the bean curd, and the water will enter the dustpan through the gaps. Scoop it out with a spoon. The pot of soy milk that was saved was to prevent the bile water from being used inappropriately and easily added. Now the master takes action. Of course there will be no problem.
When adding bile water, you must not use high fire, even if the fire is slightly higher. Otherwise, the bubbles will burst the tofu pudding. In the end, the excess fermented bean curd will be scooped out, and the pot will be filled with white tofu pudding. Then use a knife to cut the tofu pudding into pieces directly in the pot. This is In order to make it easier to scoop out pieces, the cut in the store is only one bowl.
If it is sold to outsiders, pour the fermented bean water that you just scooped out back into the pot at this time. Because the tofu pudding has already formed, it will not fuse with the bean water. You can turn on a small fire to keep the temperature, and guests will come to scoop out a piece. Tofu curd, plus half a bowl of fermented bean water. This kind of green bean water actually tastes very good. After eating the beancurd and rice, I drink a bowl of bean water, which means I am full.
If you want to ask whether the beancurd is good, you can tell by looking at the bean water. Good-quality bean curd water is a little green and has a light bean fragrance.
As for tofu, that is to say, pour the hot bean curd mixed with bile water into the mold. After cooling and condensation, it becomes tofu. You can cut it with a knife and you will get a piece of tofu. However, the tofu will be a little older than the bean curd. The key is to control it. The amount of bile water, the amount of squeezed bean water, and of course whether the bean dregs are filtered cleanly.
Also, does the tofu taste good? Chili peppers account for at least 30% of the dish. Sichuan generally uses fresh chili peppers cut into foam, and then adds sesame oil, pepper oil, and vegetarian chili peppers (boiled vegetable oil is poured on the dried chili peppers) , as well as soy sauce, green onions or coriander, salt and MSG. There will also be a little homemade chili sauce, which is the secret ingredient and has a great impact on the dish.
"Boss Zhang, the tofu pudding is ready. Do you want to eat it now or should I warm it in the pot first?" the middle-aged boss asked politely.
Zhang Heng asked some of the women, and they all said they would eat them later, so he had to wait. Then he looked at the Jiangmen meat and tofu pudding next to him. The word "ȍ" does not mean meat dishes, but just turbidity.
This kind of tofu is very different from traditional tofu. It mainly contains peanut milk and a little walnut milk. It will be more innovative.?A little bit of lean minced meat, but usually no meat is added.
The tofu pudding made in this way will be super tender, and the tofu pudding will be cut into about five centimeter cubes and set aside. When you want to eat it, cook it with soy milk and you will get one portion. Because peanut milk and walnut milk are added to the soy milk, it is not only delicious The bean curd is more tender, and even the bean water tastes hot and comfortable. The taste of Hunjiang Tofu is more catered to the tastes of urban people. Rural people like tofu that is solid and spicy, but urban people pursue taste when eating, so there is a market for this kind of Hunjiang Tofu, also because it is not expensive. , with enough rice, it has become a store frequented by many students.
However, there is only one outcome for simply selling Douhua now, and that is to go bankrupt with a serious loss. This is because the cost is too low, and the sales are naturally cheap. However, the current store and labor costs have skyrocketed, and this profit cannot be tolerated. , when business is bad, the money earned is not enough to pay the rent of the shop.
So the side dishes of Douhua came out, and finally the sign of Douhua shop was changed, and Douhua was just a complementary product. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find an authentic shop specializing in Douhua in Chengdu.
"It turns out that making bean curd is so simple. Sister, I already know how to do it." Fu Mei clapped her hands and said. Seems a little disdainful.
Zhang Heng was immediately speechless, if he really asked Fu Mei to make bean curd. I'm afraid it may not be successful even if it is made ten times. The simpler the cooking process, the more the chef's skills are required. This is a matter of hard work and cannot be accomplished in a day or two. There is often a big gap between theory and reality.
"Wow, what is that over there? It smells so good!" Sure enough, it was Guo Chunyan's voice.
"That's Lesan Bobo Chicken." The female doctor answered.
Immediately, everyone moved over. Fu Mei pulled a face and looked a little aggrieved. Zhang Heng struggled for a while. He paused and whispered, "Next time I'll try to see if the tofu pudding you made is delicious."
"Okay!" Fu Mei's face immediately regained its expression.
Zhang Heng almost gave himself a big mouth at this time. He knew that Fu Mei was interested in him, so he should hide at this time, so why did he bother to provoke her again.
Not daring to think too much, she called Fu Mei to follow. The word "Bobo Chicken" sounded very rustic, because in the past, every household in rural areas had a "tank bowl". The material of the tank bowl was the same as that of pickle jars and earthen pots. . It is shaped and fired from clay, with a grayish-yellow color. In rural areas, it is mainly used to hold rice soup and lard, so when the word "Bo Bo" is heard, it is easy to seduce people's memories.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Just right. Bobo Chicken is a snack packed in a bowl. Not to mention eating it, just looking at it is very appetizing. Moreover, Bobo is originally a home-cooked dish in rural areas of Lexan and has a history of hundreds of years. It is a relatively well-established snack.
The boss may have seen what was happening next to him, and he started to explain as soon as everyone arrived. There are more people gathering at this time. There is no way. The chef who came today may just run a small shop in a remote place, but it is definitely a nearby shop that is full of guests and doing good business. Usually, except for people from the TV station, there are usually no Talk to customers about the cooking process. This is what I do at this time. I don¡¯t want others to watch. You watch yours and I¡¯ll do mine.
As a result, as soon as Zhang Heng arrived, the attitude of these bosses changed drastically. Their enthusiasm was a bit too much. They may still have retained the exclusive secret recipe, but it was enough to popularize the production process, and they explained it in great detail.
This is a middle-aged woman, a little fat, but she looks very kind. She opened her mouth and said quickly: "Welcome, welcome, now I will tell you how to make Bobo."
Zhang Heng nodded and waited for the next step. Unexpectedly, some barbarians brought a chair, and he was moved away speechlessly. He was not that big of a celebrity.
After a while, everyone had an intuitive understanding of Bobo Chicken. It is also very simple. The key point also depends on the quality of the ingredients. It is also understandable that in those days, rural areas did not have enough to eat, so there was no time to study. Complex cooking techniques.
?? Bobo Chicken, except that the vat bowl is on top of the chicken, the shop owner is boasting about it, but in fact, this chicken is a native chicken raised in rural areas. It is not uncommon in rural areas, and every household has it.
The other thing is Sichuan peppercorns. This dish is very fragrant and numb, but there are no Sichuan peppercorns. However, when the boss put fresh green Sichuan peppercorns into the pot and poured boiled vegetable oil into it, the numbing smell of Sichuan peppercorns was just there. It's all in the oil.
Rapeseed oil is the clear oil squeezed from the rapeseed after the rape flowers wither. It is a necessity for villagers to fry meat. The price is not cheap. This year, due to the lack of rain, the harvest of rapeseed is not large. Rapeseed oil has been sold for eleven It costs 1 yuan per catty, but the blended oil sold in the supermarket is only 8 yuan per catty. In previous years, when there was a good harvest, rapeseed oil could be sold for about 9 yuan per pound.
The boss added: "There is a secret recipe here, which is to close the oil. You need to use lotus leaves, fresh taro leaves, and fresh leaves of the banana tree."Stop the oil! "
The word "close" is a dialect, and it probably means filtering. Lotus leaves and taro leaves are often picked by children in the village to make sun hats. They are very common, not to mention banana trees. Almost every household has them. Yes, cost is almost not called cost.
Use three kinds of overlapping leaves to filter out the green peppercorns floating in the hot oil. In this way, the oil will not only have the numbing smell of peppercorns, but also the fragrance of the three young leaves. The key is to filter the oil when it is boiling.
If you want to pursue spiciness, you can also cut two wattle sticks, which are very common long green peppers, and pass them in oil, and then take out the peppers. The double peppers in Sichuan "Double Pepper Hotpot Fish" refer to The ones are green Sichuan peppercorns and green chili peppers. When chili peppers are not in season, you can also use dried chili peppers to make chili oil instead. That is, heat the clear oil and pour it on the dry chili powder to become chili red oil, which is called vegetarian oil chili oil in Sichuan. It is a popular item that every household always has.
For good looks and fragrance. You can also add sesame seeds, which cannot be grown in Sichuan. Of course, this dish didn't exist before, but now it's added. It's the same thing. Sprinkle sesame seeds into the hot clear oil, and the fragrance of the sesame seeds will be melted into the oil. There is no need to filter out the sesame seeds separately.
There is also salt and soy sauce added to the oil, mainly to increase the saltiness and polish. At this time, the base ingredients in Bobo are ready. There were only sesame seeds floating on the oil surface, but there were no Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, young leaves, etc. But the fragrance can spread all over the street.
When cooking the cooked native chicken, well, it¡¯s better to call it pheasant chicken. The chicken should not be cooked until it is eighty-cooked. Cook the whole chicken. When cooking, add ginger to remove the earthy smell, and add green onions and cooking wine. Mix the peppers together and boil them. When cooked, take them out to dry, cut them into small pieces and tie them with bamboo skewers.
Then soak these chicken skewers in the pot with prepared base. Just soaking in oil won't work. At this time, pour the chicken broth used to cook the chicken into the pot and wait until it cools down. This is Bobo Chicken.
? Oily but not greasy, with a refreshing fragrance. Take a spicy and refreshing bite, and what you really eat is naturally chicken. The chicken soaked in this way is super delicious and brings out the feeling of Sichuan cuisine. It is different from hot dishes like hot pot and mutton soup pot. This is a cold dish, especially suitable for eating in summer, with a few friends. Around a table, there is a bowl on the table with dozens or hundreds of skewers of chicken soaked in it. Take a skewer and eat the chicken into your mouth, letting the spicy taste explode in your mouth, and then take a sip of beer. It¡¯s so cool. Of course, after you finish eating, don¡¯t forget to wipe off the sesame seeds from the corners of your mouth, eh!
This method can not only soak chicken, but also vegetarian vegetables, such as lotus root slices, potato slices, green vegetables, etc. Of course, these vegetarian vegetables must be cooked in chicken soup in advance.
This dish requires chefs not to mix up the peppercorns, chili peppers, and sesame seeds during the process of pouring the oil. You have to use experience to judge the oil temperature. It is also a water grinding skill. People who are not good at cooking will not be able to handle it, but they can order it. It¡¯s okay for those who are skilled in the art, but you can¡¯t release the fragrance of these materials just by relying on oil. To sum it up in four words: practice makes perfect!
¡°Wow, it¡¯s so delicious!¡± Guo Chunyan had already taken out two skewers of chicken from the bowl and ate them in her mouth.
The others followed suit, this is a cold dish, you are welcome to eat it as soon as you take it. Zhang Heng was not exempt from this habit. He ate more than a dozen skewers before taking a sip of beer to suppress the spicy taste in his mouth.
Dozens of people rushed to grab the chicken, and soon the three pots of chicken that had been prepared were all consumed. The fat shop owner, with a bright face, greeted the guys to hurry up and prepare ten more pots.
It turned out that the stall next door was closed, and a young man ran over and shouted: "Don't be impatient, everyone, the good stuff is still to come, come and try Wanzhou grilled fish."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for less than three seconds, and then they dispersed with a bang and ran to the shed next door.
Zhang Heng was speechless. Before he could express his opinion, he was pulled away by Xiao Yin and Fu Mei.
Wanzhou grilled fish is also considered the highlight today. This dish is a combination of traditional barbecue, red dry pot, and spicy fish. The franchise fee starts at 60,000 yuan, and the flagship store is as high as 130,000 yuan. There is also an additional 10,000 yuan. The deposits range from 50,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan, which is relatively expensive.
Because although barbecue is not a bad street in Sichuan, you can learn the craft by spending up to tens of thousands of yuan. If you have the craft, why join the franchise? Moreover, you will be subject to many restrictions after joining. Of course, there are benefits, nothing more. It's the brand effect.
If you want to have a brand effect, you must first let the public accept this taste. The most important thing to win word of mouth is good taste. Wanzhou Grilled Fish has achieved this.
Fish has always been a cheap commodity in Sichuan, and this is no lie. Pork costs more than ten yuan per pound, beef and mutton are nearly thirty yuan, and the four major fish species still only sell for a few yuan. The most common and cheapest is silver carp, which is currently on the market. The price is three yuan and a half per catty. It would be better if it is better.?It ranges from fifty cents to one yuan, even if it sells for four and a half yuan, it is still cheap. The wholesale price of silver carp is even cheaper, less than two yuan per pound.
It is best to choose larger fish for Wanzhou grilled fish. This place is not close to the Yangtze River, so the young man chose silver carp. It is only more expensive than silver carp. Six yuan per pound is more in the wet market, but the guerrillas outside only sell it for four yuan. many. The hot pot fish restaurants sell for nine yuan a pound, which is still far from the price of pork. Currently, the tenderloins and ribs in pork are already sold for about seventeen yuan in ordinary vegetable markets. Branded pork ribs in big supermarkets can cost 25 pounds, which is so expensive!
"Ten minutes, only ten minutes, please be patient. I will arrange a fresh kill right away!" the young man shouted lively.
Just as he was shouting, the master chef over there had already caught a few fresh big silver carp. It weighed about four to five kilograms, and was disposed of in less than a minute. Then cut it slightly from the middle, so that the back of the fish is still connected, and the fish can be stretched into a flat line and spread out in the clamp, and the head of the fish is naturally cut into two halves and connected together.
The clamp is in the shape of a fish bone, which just holds the two halves of the fish together. The charcoal fire on the other side has already burned sparks, and the fish is grilled directly.
The young man explained: "It only takes a few minutes to grill the fish. Don't add anything during grilling, but you must keep turning it over. Bake it until it is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The most important thing is not to burn it."
Fish is a quick dish. This is true. The young man took everyone to the side and looked aside. The rapeseed oil had been heated in the pot. Add bean paste, ginger, garlic, Sichuan pepper and other spices and stir-fry to bring out the flavor. At this time With the addition of the most crucial dense chili sauce, this is the unique secret recipe of Wanzhou Grilled Fish. If the franchise fee is 100,000, this chili sauce is worth at least 80,000. After joining, the head office will provide this chili sauce. This is equivalent to keeping the hen that can lay golden eggs. If you don't join, you won't actually get any secret recipe. Very cheating!
After frying the unique chili pepper to create a strong and intoxicating aroma, add potato slices to the pot. Konjac and other vegetarian dishes, the most important thing here is to add onions. Without the onions, the flavor is gone.
¡°The fish is ready!¡± the torture master over there shouted.
Then put the two halves of the fish together in a rectangular fish plate. The stir-fried ingredients are just right here. A lot of vegetables are mixed with red oil and water and poured directly into the fish plate. There is red-hot charcoal under the plate. It is a specially designed gadget.
OK, the grilled fish is finished, but if you want to taste it, you still need to wait for two or three minutes before moving the chopsticks. The grilled fish itself has no flavor. The taste is all in the base of the frying in this pot, passing through the charcoal under the fish plate. When heated by fire, the water will be melted into the fish that is tender on the inside and charred on the outside.
"Boss Zhang, please come over here. The drinks are ready." The young man said in a flattering manner. He even wiped the shiny tabletop with his sleeves, and then asked the waiter to put the fish with a strong aroma. The plate rack was placed on the table, and the two waiters immediately set out dishes, drinks, etc., and took out a plate of boiled peanuts.
"Do you want to eat now?" Zhang Heng asked the girls, but before he could finish his words, the girls had already taken their seats.
Several pieces of fish were grilled, but the time difference was divided to facilitate the frying of the base ingredients. Each fish was fried once. This is a small stir-fry and must be stir-fried over high heat. Only a small amount of individual stir-fry will make the bottom of the pot taste fragrant, so it must be separated. The difference between before and after is only three or four minutes.
He didn't have to be pretentious. He asked a few women to eat first, and the others only had to wait for a while. All the snacks present today were prepared in huge portions. After they tasted them, more than a hundred large-eating snacks followed. The barbarians are still coming to raid.
Zhang Heng felt a little distressed. This cost was too high. His mother and ancestors did not come out at this time. It is not suitable for the elderly to eat more. It is not time to eat now, and the snacks have not arrived yet. We will have a group meal later. , they are all stealing words now.
"Brother, come on, this fish is delicious." After the sister shouted, she kept blowing air. It was obviously that she was spicy, but she didn't stop and put the chopsticks into the fish plate again.
Zhang Heng quickly took his seat. He had quick eyes and quick hands, but when he was about to touch the fish, he was shaken away by the sudden appearance of a few pairs of chopsticks. Finally, he picked up a piece of onion angrily, and as soon as he took his mouth, he had it, and it tasted even better than he imagined.
"Come on, Zhang Heng, I've got a piece of fish belly for you. I heard from auntie that this is your favorite thing to eat."
"Yes, there are still fish eyes. Look, we gave them to you."
"The fish tail is also a good thing. Come on, I'll give it to you."
The women seemed to have reached an agreement and put the inferior fish in his bowl one after another. This made him dumbfounded. He thought to himself that he had not provoked the women, so why did he become the target of attack again?
But when he really ate these defective products, the women fought to snatch his bowl away, and finally when he reallyWhen the last piece of good fish was put into their mouths, the women still showed no reaction, as if what happened just now had never happened.
"Brother, what are you looking at? Eat quickly!" my sister asked doubtfully.
Zhang Heng was immediately speechless. Why did he learn to lie with his eyes open after not seeing his sister for a while? He didn't want to eat, but he didn't understand what happened.
"Hey, Zhang, you're all eating!" Jessica's voice suddenly came. The voice was so recognizable that foreigners couldn't speak with such an accent.
"You're back. Come, let's eat together. Boss, please add two bowls and chopsticks!" Zhang Heng greeted.
Jessica drove away on the yacht just now and has just come back now. As soon as the fish entered her mouth, the foreign girl screamed that it was spicy, but she kept using her chopsticks. After a few bites, she screamed that it was delicious. With this fuss, the atmosphere returned.
The whole table was chatting and laughing as they ate. The fish was really good. Zhang Heng¡¯s not picky taste buds also made him want to eat it a few more times, which meant he became a repeat customer.
"Boss, how do you sell grilled fish like this outside?" Zhang Heng asked aloud.
"It's not expensive. Better fish costs 18 yuan per catty, and silver carp only costs 12 yuan. It's enough for one person to prepare a catty of fish." The young man introduced enthusiastically.
Zhang Heng understood after listening for a while. The grilled fish business was very bleak a few years ago. At that time, a grilled fish of three to four kilograms only sold for about 20 yuan, and the per capita consumption was only 10 yuan, or even less than 10 yuan. ten yuan.
Later, the grilled fish shop actually made a decision that was definitely wrong in the eyes of laymen, but it suddenly made the grilled fish industry popular. This decision was to turn the grilled fish shop into a grilled fish stall.
In the past, grilled fish was served in regular stores. Nowadays, grilled fish still has storefronts, but the tables for these diners are placed on the street. In addition, they not only sell grilled fish, but also add other barbecue dishes. With such a simple change of thinking, grilled fish was immediately used to seize the traditional barbecue market.
This has a lot to do with the eating habits of the Shu people. Everyone likes to eat this late-night snack in an open-air environment. Grilled fish with the same taste will make people feel uncomfortable if they eat it in a store. But move the table to the open air, and the appetite will come out immediately.
Because it¡¯s outside in the open air. Everyone can shout and drink freely, letting go of the sense of restraint. The environment is spacious, and the mood comes out. Especially at night, especially around the early morning, the atmosphere is full.
The barbecue stalls in Chengdu usually open in the evening. The most diners are around nine o'clock in the evening. The peak period is in the early morning, and the stalls will not close until two or three in the morning.
Night owls actually contribute most of the market here, and there is also the problem of time for working people, who only have time at night. What is important for eating barbecue is the atmosphere, not only the environment, but also the people. The more people there are, The better your appetite, the longer you will eat. It is not just eating, but also communicating feelings.
For example, if you move this table to a bright and beautiful private room now, the atmosphere will become dull.
Zhang Heng could only sigh, there are so many ways to do business.
"If you don't drink, the per capita consumption of girls will be around 20 yuan. If you don't drink, the per capita consumption of boys will be around 30 yuan. If you drink, the per capita consumption will be over 50 yuan, and sometimes it can be over 100 yuan." The young man added. He added that drinking alcohol means that you will take longer to eat and naturally consume more.
This price can only be considered for mass consumption, but it is not cheap. In turn, it is basically affordable. At this price, there is a market for grilled fish restaurants, such as those who just want to eat, or those who want to eat in summer. I am too hot to sleep and have a late night snack. I want to eat something after coming out of the Internet cafe and KTV. I want to eat something to reward myself after working overtime. Or maybe it is a family gathering, a company gathering, or a gathering of friends. This is a good choice for chatting and spanking. You can occupy a table and chat for hours and the boss won¡¯t say anything. There is no restraint, you don¡¯t spend much money, you can eat as you like, and you can save face. This is it. Market.
"I want the secret recipe, please give me a price!" Zhang Heng said suddenly.
The young man was startled for a moment. He probably didn't expect him to be so direct, but he immediately replied cheerfully: "No problem. Boss Zhang thinks that the secret recipe for grilled fish is to give us face. Don't mention the money. If I accept your Money, you won¡¯t be spitted to death when you return to Wanzhou¡¯s hometown.¡± In fact, the young man¡¯s mentality is that he is afraid that he will not be able to return to Wanzhou¡¯s hometown after accepting your money.
"Zhang Heng, how could you do this!" Xiao Yin pouted.
Zhang Heng screamed that he was wronged, "Look, the little boss voluntarily gave me the secret recipe. I didn't mean to force him at all."
 "Yes, yes, I volunteered. Isn't it just a secret recipe? It's not worth anything. Boss Zhang thinks highly of me." The young man showed an expression that he was honored to lose the exclusive secret recipe.
"Young man, don't be afraid of him. My sister will support you. He won't dare to do anything to you if you don't give me the secret recipe." It was Fu Mei who spoke out. It feels like the description is getting darker and darker, as if Zhang Heng will do whatever he wants if he is not given the secret recipe.
This little boss is also determined. He insisted on giving away the secret recipe, and several women tried to persuade him. In the end, the young man just said: "Sisters, please don't make things difficult for me. If I continue, I will have to kneel down to you. I am here specifically to deliver the secret recipe today. Only when Boss Zhang gets the secret recipe can we get it." If Zhou Grilled Fish is carried forward, then we shop owners can take advantage of it and make a lot of money together. If I can't deliver the secret recipe today, the bosses who work with me will scold me to death when I get back."
This is absolutely nonsense. If Zhang Heng really flourished, how could there be a market for these retail investors? And I'm afraid he'll be scolded to death if he reveals the secret recipe.
"Oh. Now that it comes to this, I will reluctantly accept it!" Zhang Heng showed a very reluctant expression. Naturally, he was fooled. Several women immediately got up from their seats and swarmed up to him. As long as you are not a fool, you can feel the young man's reluctance. Who would be stupid enough to come here to give away the exclusive secret recipe for free?
"Oh, stop it. I was joking just now. Come on. Someone please stop and don't pull my pants down." Zhang Heng was directly pushed to the ground by several women, and more than a dozen hands kept greeting him. At first, it was fine. . After a while, I found that my lower body was cold and half of my butt was exposed.
As soon as the girls heard this, they quickly dispersed, and the foreign girl Jessica was immediately exposed. He was really pulling Zhang Heng's pants.
"Zhang, can't you take off your pants?" Jessica looked confused.
"Of course not!" These words were said by several women in unison.
Zhang Heng quickly pulled up his pants. A carp stood up straight. This topic cannot be discussed further. He quickly said: "Little boss, I was joking with you just now. Kefeng will talk to you about the transfer of the secret recipe later. Don't worry, it will be as much as you need. I won't lose you."
The young man awkwardly said a few words about not asking for money, but his tone was very weak no matter how he sounded. It seemed that it would be best to receive money. He did not have the final say on this secret recipe. If it was spread out rashly, he would You will become a loser among your colleagues, and you will not be able to survive in the grilled fish world in the future.
"Zhang Heng, your butt is so white!" Fu Mei suddenly came over and joked in a low voice, but how could they not hear it since everyone was so close.
¡°I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯m late at night!¡± Zhang Heng slapped his forehead. Fortunately, his friend didn¡¯t expose himself in public, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be able to hang out in the future.
"It's almost time. Let's taste the rest of the dishes later. I have to go get Zuzu out." Zhang Heng changed the subject.
Sure enough, Fu Mei was the first to stand up and express her admiration, and then everyone seconded the proposal. This made Zhang Heng shocked. It would be fine if it was Fu Mei, Xiao Yin, and even Ou Ya, but why did the others express their disapproval? His elders also seemed to be very concerned, and they were not just following the crowd, it was a natural reaction from the heart
He scratched his head and didn't dare to think too much. His relationship problems were in a mess now. After overhearing that Fu Mei and Ouya were interested in him, his mood must have been affected. For a while, he didn't know how to deal with the relationship.
An hour later, the sky gradually dimmed, but the beach was brightly lit. Dozens of sheds, large and small, were built in the wide area. Each shed emitted an appetizing aroma. At least there were people in Sichuan. Half of the more famous local specialty snacks are here, and everyone can only sigh: "Big eyes but small belly!"
I didn¡¯t know what to choose for a while. Such an opportunity can only be seen at the International Food Festival held in Chengdu. Moreover, some specialty snacks have not been developed, so they cannot enter the food festival venue at all. On the contrary, they are now on the island. The variety of dishes is more complete and more in line with the taste of the underwriter.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In addition, we are in such a special environment, an isolated island surrounded by water, and today is a special day, the Chinese Valentine's Day!
"Now enter the first event of the conference, the food tasting. There are a total of seventy-three stalls, that is, seventy-three numbers. Each person can only choose five numbers. The stall with the most numbers in the end wins and there will be a harvest of prizes "Ke Feng shouted loudly with the microphone. At this time, all kinds of food were almost ready, and it was time for judging, and the judges were everyone on the island.
At this time, Zhang Heng actually built a shed and put out the two dishes he had prepared before. His mother, Zuzu, and younger sister were with him, and the family was very happy., the old man was in great spirits, with a smile on his face. Zhang Heng was naturally happy too. Before Ke Feng finished his announcement, a few beauties appeared again
"Zhang Heng, I have a gift for you. I wish you a happy holiday!"
"Me too!" "And me!"
"!"
"Oops!" Zhang Heng mentally yelled, because he didn't prepare any gifts! (To be continued)
