Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Chef Zhao swallowed hard and said, "But how much does a barrel of oil like this cost every day?"

"Not every day." Xu Wanning said: "We will have a trial opening of fried chicken tomorrow. If the sales are good, we will sell it on the weekends. If the sales are average, then we will remove this dish from the menu."

Although there are all kinds of freshly squeezed oils in her space, and she can eat them all in a few lifetimes, in the 1980s, this was a waste, so Xu Wanning had no intention of selling fried chicken every day, at best on weekends when there were more people. Sell ​​and sell.

The most important thing this week is roast chicken and goose stewed in a wok.

As for the roast duck, Xu Wanning has no plans to sell it.

After all, Beijing's roast duck is so famous. If she sells roast duck again, her business will definitely not be very good, and she will easily attract criticism.

Although Chef Zhao and Chef Yu agreed that it was a waste for Xu Wanning to use so much fried chicken, when the fried chicken came out of the pan and smelled the smell, everyone felt it was worth it.

"It smells so good that I can't help but want to take a bite."

It was this fragrance that attracted many guests from the front hall to the backyard.

"What does it smell like? Why does it smell so good?"

"Boss Xu, are you quietly studying the new menu again and planning to surprise all of us?"

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Boss He, you are really right. I have just developed a few new dishes. Would you like to try them out?"

"It's a good feeling. Give me some. I'll try it first to see if it tastes good."

Xu Wanning took two empty plates and pulled a roasted chicken leg and a fried chicken leg to Boss He respectively.

Boss He is a regular patron of Xujiapu Restaurant. He loves to eat most and is a true gourmand.

After the No. 2 store opened, he came almost every day for the first three days, and then every other day for the next few days.

Boss He took a bite of the roasted chicken first, nodded and said, "It tastes good. It tastes different from roasted whole lamb or roasted suckling pig. It's delicious when you eat it, and it's not greasy at all. I love it."

After finishing the roasted chicken in his mouth, he took another bite of the fried chicken leg, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "As expected of the fried chicken, it's so delicious! Boss Xu, give me one of each roasted chicken and fried chicken Just, I’ll take it home and give it to my wife and children to try!”

"no problem."

A chicken can be sold for two or three yuan at the farmer's market, so Xu Wanning's price is five yuan for a roasted chicken and seven yuan for a fried chicken.

The reason why fried chicken is expensive is that a lot of oil is used in the frying process, which naturally increases the cost.

Boss He paid the money readily and went home without stopping with the two freshly baked chickens in his arms.

"Boss, can I buy chicken by the pound?"

Xu Wanning shook her head: "Sorry, a chicken only weighs two or three kilograms after the skin and internal organs have been removed, so it cannot be sold by the kilogram. If you can't finish the whole chicken, you can choose to sell half a chicken. We will cut it symmetrically from the middle. , ensuring that each half chicken has half a head, a chicken wing and a chicken leg.”

"Is this true for fried chicken too?"

"of course."

"Then give me half a roasted chicken and half a fried chicken!"

"Then I want the rest of her!"

In the blink of an eye, six or seven roast chickens and fried chickens each had been ordered.

Yang Kai only brought a total of twenty chickens, and after a while, only four were left.

"Boss, how about I go back to the farm to bring some chickens over?"

Xu Wanning nodded: "According to this attitude, business will only be better tomorrow, so you can just come over more."

After Chef Zhao became proficient in making delicious roast chicken and fried chicken, Xu Wanning began to teach Chef Yu how to make goose stew in an iron pot.

Chef Yu has learned all the preliminary steps, and he even learned to stick pancakes on the pot.

When it came to the final step of adding seasonings, he watched helplessly as Xu Wanning took out a pack of seasonings that had been mixed and sprinkled them evenly into the pot.

"Chef Yu, the more people order the goose stewed in the iron pot, the more commission you will get. So, for your commission, you must cook this dish well."

"Don't worry, boss, I promise I won't let you down."

The first table of goose stewed in an iron pot made by Chef Yu was given to the waiters in the store by Xu Wanning, and everyone was asked for their opinions.

“Yummy, so delicious!”

"This pancake is also delicious. After two pancakes, I am already full."

Xu Huajing also tasted the taste and said: "I feel that the heat is still a bit insufficient. The goose meat is a bit too firm and not easy to bite."

Chef Yu hurriedly said: "I just checked the time. Next time I cook it, I will stew it for five more minutes at the original time, and it should be almost done, right?"

In the last sentence, he obviously asked what Xu Wanning meant.

Xu Wanning nodded: "Five more minutes, the time is just right."

"An Ning, this table of goose stewed in an iron pot includes vegetables, goose and steamed buns. What do you think is the appropriate price?"

Xu Wanning did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Auntie, what price do you think is appropriate?"

"There are no whole geese on the market, so it's hard to judge the price. But a hen costs about three yuan, and a rooster costs two and a half yuan. A goose must be as heavy as three or four large roosters, and the price is at least It’s ten yuan. This is the cost price.”

The nutritional value of female goose is not necessarily higher than that of male goose, so the price is the same whether it is female goose or male goose.

"These dishes include vermicelli and those dried vegetables you buy from the Black Province. They are not cheap. The steamed buns are also made from white flour and corn flour. The cost of this table alone costs more than ten yuan. , not counting the seasonings used and staff costs.”

"To sum up, I think the price is around thirty-five, not around thirty-three. What do you think?"

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "The price that my aunt set is similar to what I thought. I plan to set the price at thirty-five directly, which is convenient for calculation. In addition, we can give away two vegetarian cold dishes and a pot of sour plum soup."

Two vegetarian cold dishes cost 68 cents per serving at Xujiapu Restaurant. Calculating this, they are actually not expensive at all. .

As Aning said, they are open for business, not charity. Naturally, their purpose is to make money.

It’s just that you can’t make money at a loss.

The price of the goose stewed in the iron pot was also set, and Xu Huajing began to look forward to tomorrow's business.

The next day was Saturday. There were many pedestrians on the street, but not many people set foot in the No. 2 store.

There were several familiar faces she had seen before. They lingered in front of the No. 2 store for a short while and then walked directly into Xujiapu Restaurant.

As soon as Xu Wanning arrived, Xu Huajing told Xu Wanning about the situation.

"It's normal. The food sold in our No. 2 store is expensive, and it's just meat. No matter how delicious it is, people will get tired of it after eating a few meals."
