(The date of Ren Jie’s return to Beijing is tomorrow, the end of the previous chapter was written incorrectly, and has been revised)
"Xiao Xu, your dad, I, and your sister Yuanyuan just helped you purchase more than 3,000 kilograms of iron bar yams, harvested directly from the growers, and the price is much lower."
When Lin Xu walked out of the kitchen with the prepared salted fish and eggplant stew and hand-shredded cabbage, her mother Chen Meijuan put down her phone and said to him.
Lin Xu put down the tray, placed the two dishes on the table, and asked curiously:
"Yam? Where did you get it?"
Lin Hongqi picked up a piece of cabbage with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth:
"In Shimopan Village next to the scenic spot, many people grow iron-rod yams. The people selling yam seeds said they would buy them in the fall, but they haven't gone there yet. They set up stalls at the rally and couldn't sell at high prices, and wholesale was also sold out.
People keep pushing the price down, and I haven't been willing to sell it. I just contacted a few companies and they all got it covered. I can't go back and continue to help you."
This is simply great!
Lin Xu was overjoyed:
"I am worried about yams. This thing is subcontracted and the price is too high. If I can buy cheap yams, the profit will be much greater."
According to the tutorial given by the system, one pound of yam can only make four pounds of yam juice.
The yam bottles ordered in the store are 400 ml. Based on this amount, one pound of yam can make five bottles.
If you sell 200 bottles a day, you will need 40 kilograms of yams, and you will need more than a thousand kilograms a month. This is still not an increase in quantity.
If there is a group purchase business, the monthly consumption of yam should be about two thousand kilograms.
In this case, having stable and cheap yam can definitely reduce the cost a lot.
"Let's continue purchasing when we get back. I estimate that the store will use two thousand kilograms of yams every month."
Chen Meijuan is relatively cautious:
"Why don't you use it first and see what happens if you collect too much?"
Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen next to them also nodded.
Obviously, it is somewhat risky to rashly purchase yams in large quantities, so it is safer to try it first.
Chen Yuanyuan, who had just picked up the rice and was about to eat it, said:
"It's simple, just put it in a milk tea cup and sell it in a pancake shop. It happens to be cold, and people who eat pancakes need a hot drink, and I think it goes well with it."
This statement made everyone stunned.
Yes, why did you forget Ziqiang Shengjian?
After the weather gets cold, there really needs to be some hot drinks, and it’s best to have hot drinks that can be sold with fried steamed buns.
As long as the taste is good, profits will come in a hurry.
As the store manager of Linji, Shu Yun is more concerned about the business of our store:
"If it is sold in Ziqiang Shengjian, will it affect the sales in the store? Because it is a roadside stall, it will definitely be cheaper than the price in the store."
This is indeed a problem.
Many industries have seen the phenomenon of sub-brands overshadowing the main brand. Lin Ji should not join in the fun.
Xiao Zhuge and Chen Yan said with a smile:
"It's easy to handle. Ziqiang Shengjian uses cheap vegetable yam, and the cups are replaced with disposable milk tea cups. Then we will get a sealing machine. Wouldn't it be okay? We can distinguish the grade and taste so that customers can
We are free to choose.”
Her idea is good.
Lin Xu thinks there should be a difference in the amount of water added.
In the store, it is one pound of yam plus three pounds of water, but at Ziqiang Shengjian, it is one pound of yam plus four pounds, so the texture and taste are completely different.
If customers want to drink the cheap yam juice they buy from Johnson & Johnson on the roadside and enjoy it slowly, they come to the store to buy the more expensive one.
Just as I was thinking about it, a system prompt sounded in my mind:
"The host takes the initiative to enrich the product line of Ziqiang Shengjian chain store and triggers the side task [New hot drinks]: Ask the host to let Ziqiang Shengjian sell two different hot drinks within a week. After completion, a perfect memory redemption card will be awarded.
The host can use this card to redeem the dishes in his memory."
Two different drinks?
Lin Xu was a little surprised. What they had been discussing just now was yam.
Why does the system allow two models?
In fact, it is not difficult to make new drinks. The key is that Ziqiang Shengjian is so small. It was originally designed specifically for making fried dumplings. This requires a milk tea cup, a plastic sealing machine, a small steaming cabinet, a commercial food processor, etc. Where can I find more?
What a place to put your feet!
It seems it’s time to talk to Dou Wenjing and Wang Ziqiang about Ziqiang Shengjian’s product line.
But tomorrow I have to busy myself with the move-in banquet, so I’ll talk to the two of them after I’m done. By the way, I’ll call Yang Lin over to listen to the opinions of the front-line employees.
Soon, the kitchen brought several more dishes.
Shen Baobao said:
"We haven't eaten yet. We wanted to buy a sausage when we were at the high-speed rail station, but we were afraid of missing the time and didn't dare to buy it."
When Chen Meijuan heard this, she felt extremely distressed:
"I feel wronged by my dear daughter-in-law. Tell mom what you want to eat. Mom will do nothing this afternoon and just make delicious food for you."
Han Shuzhen glanced at her daughter in disgust.
Why have you never behaved like a child in front of your own mother?
But when she thought about how she didn't know anything about cooking, she felt relieved.
"Hmm, uh, uh... let me think about it, I want to eat..."
Baby Shen took a mouthful of rice and muttered while chewing:
"I want to eat that kind of dish where meat stuffing is stuffed into peppers. What's it called? I was watching a video last night and wanted to learn it secretly..."
"Pork stuffed with green peppers, my third aunt's specialty!"
Chen Yuanyuan's words made Shen Baobao react immediately:
"Yes, yes, it's meat stuffed with green peppers. Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan. I was hungry for it all night last night."
Lin Xu next to him smiled softly.
I was really greedy for half the night, and then I ate all the spicy fish at home.
Chen Meijuan said with a doting look:
"Xiao Xu was clamoring to eat this dish as soon as he could walk, and he cried when he ate it. Then he ate it while crying, and his face was all oily after eating..."
What did Xu Bao eat when he was a kid?
Then I have to eat even more!
"Thank you, Mom. If Xu Bao likes it, I like it. You should do more."
"Well, make more so that my precious daughter-in-law can eat enough!"
After the meal, Lin Xu did not work in the kitchen. Instead, he took the whole family to the community behind and packed all the clothes and other items in the master bedroom into boxes.
Starting tonight, the master bedroom will belong to cousin Chen Yuanyuan. Lin Xu and Shen Baobao will move to the new house tonight. The master bedroom in the new house has been finished and new bedding has been put on.
Chen Meijuan and Lin Hongqi also moved there.
There aren't many things here, so just pack them up and take them away.
In this way, Zeng Xiaoqi can move to the second bedroom during the weekend.
It is said to be the second bedroom, but it is actually similar to the master bedroom. It has a large window and a wardrobe. When Uncle Gao renovated it, he was ready to sublet it.
"Sister Yuanyuan, starting tonight you will be living with Reporter Zeng, whom I met last time at the scenic spot. By the way, she has been promoted to director now, so I will drag you into our small group."
When everyone was packing up, Shen Baobao pulled Chen Yuanyuan into the group "Good sisters whose bra cups don't shrink".
As soon as she entered the group, Zeng Xiaoqi jumped out and said hello:
"A new guy is here? The sonic boom will blow up all around. Hurry up, or you'll be waiting with whips and candles!"
Chen Yuanyuan: "..."
Are you Beijing people so open-minded in private?
These names, this way of welcoming people.
Tsk...what an eye-opener.
Shen Baobao said in the group:
"This is my Xu Bao's cousin Chen Yuanyuan."
When she said this, Zeng Xiaoqi got the answer.
"Yuanyuan has arrived in the capital? Welcome, we will be good friends under the same roof from now on. Director Chen, please take good care of me."
In the past, when Chen Yuanyuan was selling tickets in the scenic spot, she called herself the director of the ticket office. In fact, she was the only one in the entire ticket office, and she was the commander-in-chief.
She didn't expect that Zeng Xiaoqi would still remember this incident, so she sent a handshake emoticon:
"I hope Director Zeng will take care of me."
"Ha, it's easy to talk about... By the way, Yuanyuan, what's your cup size?"
Cup size?
Why do you ask this?
Chen Yuanyuan replied:
"36C, what's wrong, Director Zeng?"
Zeng Xiaoqi on the other end of the phone suddenly shut herself up.
It’s actually the same size as Baby Shu, why can’t I have a bear girl to balance it out?
In the group, Chen Yan and Shu Yun each sent hilarious emoticons after seeing the news.
Obviously, they knew what Director Zeng meant.
It's fine now. Zeng, who was looking for a sense of superiority, was crushed again.
You said you were fine, why did you ask?
"Yueyue, what's going on with Reporter Zeng? Why did you stop talking after asking?"
"Her Xiongxiong is only 34B, and she is the youngest among the whole group except Lele, so she has become the object of ridicule."
Chen Yan’s age and Zeng Xiaoqi’s breasts are the two most vulnerable points in the group.
Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously:
"No one makes fun of Lele?"
"No one dares. That girl is too smart. It would be uncomfortable to provoke her."
Pack up all the clothes and put the shoes into shoe boxes.
There is nothing else at home, just enough cardboard boxes. These are all toys, so you can borrow them if appropriate.
"Do you still have these toys from Dundun?"
"Bring, bring all these. I heard that cats can easily become stressed when they are in a strange environment without familiar toys and supplies."
While they were chatting, Zoucheng came upstairs with two young people:
"Mr. Shen, the car is ready, let's start moving downstairs?"
"Move!"
While they were moving things out, Zeng Xiaoqi packed up everything in the dormitory, ordered a small box from the TV station, and helped transport it to the community behind Linji Food.
Haha, now that dinner is done, there’s no need to crave Lin Kee’s breakfast anymore.
I feel like a beautiful life is beckoning to me.
After Lin Xu and others took away all their personal belongings, Chen Yuanyuan cleaned all the rooms and mopped the floor. While she was busy, Zeng Xiaoqi came.
"Welcome, Director Zeng. Do you have many things? I'll go down and move them with you."
"Okay, let's go check out the new house after we pack it up. That house is my dream house. I have to take another look before it's occupied."
The two of them hurriedly moved the things up, packed them up, and then took a taxi to the new house.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Meijuan, who originally wanted to cook a meal at her new home, found that nothing was prepared in the kitchen, so she had to go back to the store to eat. Her original intention was to cook a small family dinner at home tonight and have a meal with her in-laws.<
/p>
But now it seems that it can only happen tomorrow.
"Tomorrow morning, Shuzhen, you and Guofu will come early tomorrow, and we will have breakfast at home, even if the child burns the bottom of the pot."
"Okay, then we'll come over early tomorrow morning, and we'll have to work hard for Meijuan again."
"What a hard work. After seeing this house, I can't use up all my energy."
Chen Meijuan's face was full of excitement and she was very satisfied with her new house.
Our Lao Lin family actually has a top-floor duplex with a sky garden in Beijing, which is really amazing.
Back in the store, she washed her hands and went to the small kitchen where Lin Xu usually recorded videos, preparing to make the meat stuffed with green peppers that her daughter-in-law wanted to eat.
This is an authentic Central Plains dish, but with the migration of people, meat stuffed with green peppers has been brought to all parts of the country. For example, the Hakka people who migrated from the Central Plains are good at making various kinds of stuffed meat.
Lin Xu helped Chen Meijuan get the green peppers, pork stuffing, corn starch, onions, ginger and other ingredients.
The green peppers used to make green peppers stuffed with meat should not be too thick. If they are thick, there will be too much meat stuffing and it will not be easy to fry.
At the same time, it should not be too tender. Green peppers that are too tender are easy to rot when heated. You must choose the kind that is slightly yellow. Such peppers are relatively older, but they are resistant to frying, have moderate spiciness, and have a very good texture and taste.<
/p>
Cut the green pepper from the tail, discard the stem, and then cut the pepper into six or seven centimeter long sections.
Cut into pieces and use chopsticks to poke out the pepper seeds and flesh.
In this way, the knife modification of Qingjiao is completed.
Then start mixing the meat filling.
Put the prepared pork belly stuffing into a basin, add a small spoonful of salt, a small spoonful of pepper, a little light soy sauce, and half a bowl of onion and ginger water.
Add another egg white and a small spoonful of sesame oil.
Put everything in and stir with your hands to mix the seasonings and at the same time let the meat filling gelatinize.
"In the past, when I made it at home, I just poured the minced onion and ginger into the meat. It wasn't that particular. Since Yue Yue doesn't like ginger in the meat stuffing, she used onion and ginger water."
With the presence of onion and ginger water, the meat filling becomes very thin.
But as you stir, the colloid in the fat meat comes out, the water is gradually absorbed, and the meat filling in the basin becomes more and more viscous.
When it becomes sticky, stop and start stuffing the green peppers while they are still sticky.
"I saw that when my hometown restaurant makes this dish, they now use a piping bag to put it inside. Today's chefs are really keeping up with the times. The piping bag is indeed more convenient than using chopsticks to fill it in."
Lin Xu had nothing to do, so he took the green pepper segments and started stuffing them.
Chen Meijuan likes this kind of atmosphere where mother and son work together, which makes her feel like celebrating the New Year.
The business in the store is so good, I don’t know if my son can go back to celebrate the New Year. In fact, not only the elderly like to reunite, but who among parents doesn’t like to have a lively family time together?
After Lin Xu filled one end, he started to fill in the other end, and said while working:
"If you're not busy tomorrow afternoon, how about making dumplings at your new home?"
"My son wants to eat dumplings? You don't have to wait until night. Mom will make them for you early tomorrow morning. It's just a matter of getting up early. It's simple."
After saying that, she glanced at Lin Xu’s stuffing and reminded her seriously:
"Stuff more, the meat will shrink when cooked, and if it's too little, it will roll out of the pepper. It doesn't matter if there is an empty spot in the middle, but both ends must be filled."
The stuffed pepper segments are neatly placed on the plate.
There were a lot of people eating today, so my wife prepared several plates for the employees in the store to try.
After all the stuffing was used up, Lin Xu set up the wok, poured oil into it, and prepared for frying.
Chen Meijuan took an empty plate and poured some corn starch into it.
When the oil is 50% hot, dip the chili segment in the cornstarch, shake it gently to shake off the excess starch, then dip the other end in the starch, and then throw it into the oil pan.
Don't turn it when it's just put in the pot. It needs to be fried for a while to allow the meat filling on both ends of the green pepper to set. Now use a spoon to gently push it to allow the pepper to heat evenly.
The oil temperature for frying the green pepper segments should not be too high, otherwise it will be fried easily.
Under normal circumstances, 50% hot is just right.
Fry until the starch at both ends is golden in color and there are dense bubbles on the surface of the pepper. It is almost done. Use a slotted spoon to carefully take it out and start frying the next pot.
Everything is fried and needs to be simmered again to make it taste better and more delicious.
Lin Xu saw that there were too many green pepper segments, so he said:
"Mom, you may not be used to using this kind of professional stove, so it's up to me to do this."
He changed to a large wok, slid the pan first, and then poured a little peanut oil into the bottom of the pan. When the oil was hot, he added the prepared green onion, ginger and spicy millet for color matching.
Stir-fry until fragrant and pour in two bowls of pork bone stock.
In fact, just add water in this step, but in order to taste better, Lin Xu directly upgraded it slightly.
Pour the broth into the pot, add sugar, dark soy sauce, and a little oyster sauce in sequence, bring to a boil, and pour all the fried green pepper segments into the pot.
Stir fry a few times, then cover the pot and simmer for two minutes.
Two minutes later, the green peppers had become soft, and a nice spicy smell wafted out of the pot.
"My son is really good at his craftsmanship."
Chen Meijuan couldn't help but praise.
Lin Xu flattered his mother:
"You taught me well."
At this time, there was not much soup in the bottom of the pot. He scooped up half a spoonful of starch water, poured it evenly into the pot, stir-fried twice, poured in a little cooking oil, and the dish was ready.
He poured it into several plates one after another, put one portion on his own table, and gave the rest to the car guy, asking him to share it with the employees.
Then Lin Xu came to the oven and took out the roasted fish bream.
When grilling this time, he spread some honey on the surface, which added a bit more flavor to the already delicious grilled fish bream.
"Come on, let's start eating."
After all the dishes were placed on the table, the two families sat together and started eating.
The last time I ate fish bream, Shen Guofu was not here and didn’t taste it, so as soon as I ate it today, I subconsciously opened the bottle:
"Oh, this pickled fish is strong and delicious. Xiaoxu, is this a new dish in the store?"
"It hasn't been served yet. Let all our relatives and friends try it at noon tomorrow. The new product will be available in the afternoon. I have arranged for Wu Kexin and Yue Liyue to come to the live broadcast to try it."
The fish bream cooked in this way is the only one in the country, and it has a great drinking effect, so Lin Xu plans to promote it as the flagship product of the store.
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he picked up the meat stuffed with green peppers and took a bite.
The juice on the outside of the green pepper is salty and sweet, combined with the soft and delicious green pepper and the meat filling inside. One bite will immediately increase your appetite.
"Wow, this meat stuffed with green peppers really goes well with rice, it's so delicious."
Baby Shen exclaimed.
I never expected that green peppers would be full of flavor after being fried.
Chen Yan took a bite and exclaimed again and again:
"It's really delicious. It's really delicious. Aunt Chen, how about you make it twice before you leave?"
"Okay, okay, no problem. As long as you like to eat, you can cook three meals a day."
Han Shuzhen said with a smile:
"Xiaoyan, stop just eating and playing all day long. It's time to find a partner."
Chen Yan said embarrassedly:
"I've found it... how about I let you guys meet me when the opportunity is right?"
Upon hearing this, Han Shuzhen rushed to Shen Guofu and said:
"Did you hear that, Old Shen? It seems that our Xiaoyan has found a partner. Hurry up and prepare the red envelopes. When you meet the parents, you will give the red envelopes."
Shen Guofu, who was drinking heavily, said with a smile:
"No problem, Xiaoyan has a partner, Yuanyuan must also hold on tight."
Chen Yuanyuan: "..."
Yuanyuan is really desperate to get married.
I didn’t expect that even if I fled from Yinzhou to the capital, I would still be unable to escape the fate of being forced to get married.
I originally wanted to use Sister Yan as a shield, but I didn't expect that she would actually be single.
After dinner, I need to ask Sister Yan for advice on how to deal with this situation, otherwise, I won’t be able to be clean even if I come to the capital.
When their family was eating in the store,
In a quiet courtyard near Nanluogu Lane, Ren Chongmo stood on the ladder of the study, carefully pulling the boxes at the top of the bookshelf.
"Did you find it?"
"I've found it, I've found it, it's this set of "Royal Food Records". If I want to give it to others as a gift, I can just send the subtitles directly. But Mr. Tateyama is here and I can't get anyone's characters. As a poor scholar, it's more appropriate to give books as a gift. ."
Tian Qinglan took the box handed by Ren Chongmo and carefully wiped off the dust on it:
"This set of unique copies is too much of a waste for us, so we should give it to those in need."
Ren Chongmo carefully came down from the ladder and dusted himself off:
"Xiaojie hasn't sent a message yet?"
"No, I said I met a waiter and insisted on being friendly with him. As soon as I said he didn't agree, he just ignored me... I said he was on a business trip last time, and I don't know if he came back. This kid is getting more and more stubborn. ”
Ren Chongmo said with a smile:
"You know he's stubborn and you said that on purpose, can he not be angry? Just wait, maybe you'll give us a big surprise..."
