Food starts with noodles

Chapter 084 Teach You to Make Soup

Yu Peiyong and Wei Junming were a little surprised.

Why do you make rice for a store that started with pasta?

But it’s not bad that the store has braised pork rice. At least rice is easier than noodles. Just steam it in a large pot and keep it warm. Braised pork can also be prepared in one pot.

When someone orders food, it is served directly on the plate, which is very convenient.

After eating, Yu Peiyong wiped his mouth: "This meal is very good, son, since you are going to make stewed pork rice, I, as an elder, will teach you how to make soup."

"The stewed pork rice in the Jiangnan area is sold with soup, and it is not a complete stewed pork rice without soup."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards the kitchen first.

Wei Junming had a look of surprise on his face: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and study hard."

Xu Zhuo followed into the kitchen.

"Go find some seaweed and shrimp skins. Your store's positioning is too low, so I will teach you the simplest seaweed egg drop soup. The cost is low, but the taste is not bad. At least it is more than enough to go with your braised pork rice."

Xu Zhuo went to the warehouse to dig out the seaweed and shrimp skins that Chen Guifang sent last time.

After taking it out, Yu Peiyong was a little surprised.

"Taushui laver? Now I'm [-]% sure that I can teach you."

He washed his hands and started working.

"The seaweed and shrimp skins contain sediment, so they need to be soaked before use. When soaking, use cold water. Don't use warm or boiling water, which will evaporate the umami taste in the seaweed and shrimp skins."

He took half a bowl of cold water, broke off a small piece of seaweed and put it in.

Seaweed slowly blooms like a flower.

Then he took a bowl of water and poured it into the pot, and put it on high heat.

Then he took an egg and broke it into a bowl, stirring it well with chopsticks.

"You have to worry about the unsightly egg flower. You can add some cold water to the egg when you stir it, so that the egg liquid is easier to break up."

After finishing these, Yu Peiyong took out the freshly soaked seaweed and dried shrimps from the bowl.

Take a clean bowl again, put the seaweed and shrimp skin in it, add a pinch of salt, and drizzle with sesame oil.

Just as the water in the pot boiled, Yu Peiyong began to beat egg flowers into the pot.

"The trick of this step is to pour the egg liquid into the pot slowly and evenly, don't pour it in one position, use the egg liquid to draw a circle in the pot while pouring, try not to let the egg liquid overlap."

"If you can't do it well, you can find a fine-hole colander and pour it into the pot, and the effect will be the same."

After all the egg liquid was poured in, the pot was already full of eggs.

Yu Peiyong quickly turned off the fire, and then poured the egg liquid in the pot into the bowl containing seaweed and dried shrimps.

Immediately, the umami of seaweed and the aroma of sesame oil came to my nostrils.

The yellow frangipane and purple nori contrast beautifully in the bowl.

Don't talk about drinking, just by smelling the shape, you know it's not bad.

"The umami taste of seaweed will be stimulated when it encounters high temperature, so it can't be boiled, only in this way will the taste melt into the soup."

"In addition, it is best not to put chopped green onion and coriander in the soup, as it will take away the umami taste of the eggs and seaweed."

"However, there are customers who really want to add chopped green onion. You can dig some shallot oil into it. The kind of scallion oil you make at my brother-in-law's house will do. Adding a little bit will give it a scallion flavor."

"Don't put scallions in it directly, sometimes there will be a rotten smell of rotten onions, which is very unpleasant."

"If you think the soup is not sticky, you can thicken the egg flower in the pot first, and the soup will be thicker and smoother."

"As for the ratio of egg flower to seaweed, you can decide according to the pricing. Don't lose money, your seaweed is not cheap."

Xu Zhuo didn't expect that this simple seaweed and egg drop soup would be completely different from what he expected.

If he hadn't watched Yu Peiyong's steps in making soup, he would really boil the seaweed first.

Of course, the main reason is that Boss Xu himself is unwilling to learn.

Otherwise, the two chefs in the family, and Wei Junming is still here, and a mere egg drop soup is definitely within reach.

Yu Peiyong walked out of the kitchen with the bowl of egg drop soup and placed it in front of Sun Lisong.

"Brother-in-law, try my craft."

Sun Lisong was in a good mood these two days, he smiled and said, "You are the chef of the state banquet, so you can't go wrong with your skills."

Later, Yu Peiyong will take Sun Lisong to Yangzhou, but he will not live there permanently.

I just stayed for a few days in the past to pay homage to Yu Peiqiu.

By the way, I will meet my relatives at home now.

He took a sip and immediately gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, not bad, very fresh."

After drinking the soup, Wei Junming drove the two old people to the high-speed rail station, and Yu Keke also got in the car to see them off.

Only now did Xu Zhuo have time to check the system notifications again.

He really wanted to know how bad the quality of the pig's trotters would be to downgrade the original skills.

The C-level signature stewed meat skill is really eye-catching to him, how delicious it must be to be called the gold medal stewed meat.

As a result, it just missed the opportunity, and the gold medal braised pork became five-spice braised pork.

Just by hearing the name, you can tell that there are no bright spots and nothing special.

A grade worse than the gold medal.

But if it's really unpalatable, it's impossible for Jianguo and several waiters just to eat the whole small pot.

Yu Keke will not even clean the rice and meat in one go.

What exactly is going on?

When he came to the back kitchen, Xu Zhuo took out a piece of pig's trotter from the broth.

Put it in your mouth and bite lightly.

It is soft and fragrant, with a slight spicy taste.

This is simply an artifact for dinner, okay?

He knew it wasn't bad, but he didn't expect that the pig's trotters were actually delicious.

And it's much tastier than expected.

But why does the system think the quality is bad?

Recall the way Yu Keke came out of the kitchen just now.

Boss Xu patted his head vigorously.

The quality of this dog day is too bad, can't it be because of the poor appearance?

Think about those stewed pork rice and pork knuckle rice that you see online, they seem to be round balls of rice, with black sesame seeds sprinkled on top, stewed pork or pig's trotters on the side, and a few green vegetables for decoration...

Boss Xu felt tightness in his chest.

He has nothing to say if he is downgraded because of poor taste.

After all, skills are not as good as people, so you really can't force them.

But being downgraded because of poor presentation, the more I think about it, the more heartbroken I am...

Sitting behind the counter and feeling sad, Jianguo suddenly came over and asked, "Xu Zhuo, if we serve stewed pork rice, what price should we set? And the egg drop soup, we also need to set a price."

Xu Zhuo rubbed his face. If the price of this seaweed is low, he will really lose money.

But if the height is set, it will not match the pasta in the store.

He was a little regretful that the price of the pasta was too low, which caused the prices of the meals in the store to be deformed.

If the price is readjusted at this moment, the college students in the medical school may have objections.

If someone follows the rhythm and everyone doesn't come to eat, the noodle restaurant will lose its only source of customers.

So, be careful.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly two college students who came in for dinner were holding a leaflet to read while walking.

"You can get a drink for free with your student ID card. Why don't we go and have a look after dinner?"

Student card?

Boss Xu, who was listless, was suddenly shocked and thought of a solution...

Chapter 085 Price Adjustment

When I first started making hand-rolled noodles in the store, it cost ten yuan a bowl.

After selling braised noodles in the previous paragraph, the price was raised by two yuan, a bowl of twelve.

Now Xu Zhuo decided to raise the price of pasta to 15 yuan a bowl.

"Fifteen and one bowl is indeed okay, but will those students have any objections?"

Jianguo sat on the side, serving as Xu Zhuo's staff.

Now he really wants to work hard with Xu Zhuo. With so many famous chefs, as long as he follows Xu Zhuo, he will have the opportunity to learn from them in the future.

My family is a master of Shandong cuisine, my master is a master of Sichuan cuisine, and now there is another master of Huaiyang cuisine.

It makes people jealous!

Xu Zhuo took a sip of Coca-Cola: "We can give discounts to students."

"Discount? How to get it?" Jianguo didn't understand.

"No matter where the students are, whether it's the School of Medicine, the School of Science and Technology, or even the students of Lin Ping College who are farther away, they can enjoy a [-]% discount with their student ID cards."

Xu Zhuo thought of a solution just now when he heard the two students say that they could get a drink for free with their student ID cards.

This discount measure not only seems to be preferential to college students, but also makes other diners speechless.

After all, he is a student and he has no income, so it is normal to enjoy some discounts.

Jianguo patted his thigh: "Hey, that's great. Although the price has risen to food, it's still [-]% after the [-]% discount. They have absolutely no objection."

"If the price of pasta increases, what about other foods? Will the price also increase?"

Of course, the price has to be raised. In the future, students will get a [-]% discount. If the price is not raised, it will be a loss.

Soon, the two settled on the price.

15 large bowls of pasta and 13 small bowls.

All cold dishes will increase by 5 yuan, 15 servings of vegetarian dishes, and 30 servings of meat dishes.

The goat's hooves are up two yuan, and a piece is 12.

This increase is not too big, even after the discount, it is even a few cents cheaper than the original price.

But the signature dishes, to attract customers, should not be priced too high.

Anyway, I can't get enough of this thing, so I must order other food when I come to the store to eat sheep's trotters.

This way to make up for it, the price is really not low.

Moreover, if you sell sheep's hoofs for ten yuan, you can earn a profit, so there is no need to increase too much now.

It is not too late to re-price after the store renovation is completed.

"What about seaweed soup and stewed pork rice? How much is the price?"

Xu Zhuo opened the takeaway software and looked at the stewed pork rice on the takeaway. The price was almost between 15 and 20.

"Braised pork rice and seaweed soup make up a set meal, 25 yuan a piece. If sold separately, a piece of braised pork rice is 20 yuan, and a piece of seaweed soup is 6 yuan."
