The man's name is Chen Mingyu, he is 33 years old and works as an investment manager in a cosmetics company.

Of course, the starting point for investment promotion in such a company is the manager.

Named Investment Specialist, written as Investment Manager.

Just like Starbucks' medium cup is a small cup.

People will always like bigger things.

Of course, except Teacher Luo.

Today he was sent by the company to distribute flyers to promote the company-operated store that opened nearby.

Directly operated stores are mainly used to provide visiting experience for franchisees who will inspect projects in the future, and they are also responsible for part of the turnover.

Chen Mingyu had passed several restaurants along the way, but he felt that those restaurants had no connection with him.

Only this red hotel attracted his attention.

Nothing else.

He likes this kind of clean and simple shop. Of course, simple prices are the most important thing.

Because he knows that if he can't find a restaurant that can buy lunch for less than seven yuan today, he will have to find a convenience store to eat instant noodles at noon today.

And it’s the kind that can’t even add eggs.

That's why he asked the question before. This was his last choice. If this store required other purchases to order Mapo Tofu for one yuan, then he would have no choice but to give up.

Unexpectedly, the young and handsome boss standing in the kitchen said no!

Need not!

It was like the sound of nature to his ears!

What does this mean without other consumption?

This means that even if he orders a bowl of rice and an order of mapo tofu, it only costs three yuan!

Three bucks for lunch!

With such a cheap lunch, even if the food is a bit unpalatable, I will accept it!

As long as you can eat enough.

People don’t think you are poor, so what qualifications do you have to think they are poor?

"Okay, I want one portion of rice and one portion of mapo tofu." Chen Mingyu said.

Chen Nian nodded, turned and walked into the kitchen.

This is my first business since I opened my business.

After completing this business, it meant that... I lost the first seven yuan after opening the store.

A serving of mapo tofu costs about nine yuan, and you lose eight yuan if you sell one piece.

The price of a portion of rice is about 50 cents, but if you add in other oils, seasonings, water and electricity, etc., you can probably earn 1 yuan based on the cost.

This way.

If you sell a portion of mapo tofu + rice, you will lose 7 yuan.

This also means that Chen Nian needs to lose enough 7,000 yuan to unlock the next braised pork dish.

Chen Nian had already reached this point, and in the morning, Chen Nian tried to add some home-cooked dishes on the wall that he had learned from Chen Mapo Restaurant, but he was surprised to find that he...

.

Add-no-up-go!

That’s right, it just can’t be added in the literal sense!

No matter if he uses writing or stickers, it won’t work!

Not even leaving it at the door.

Chen Nian also understood that he could only follow the recipe step by step, and early losses were inevitable.

As I thought about it, the oil had already heated up due to aging.

Then add the beef and seasonings.

The smell spread instantly, and the thin curtains from the kitchen to the dining room in front could not block the rich aroma. Moreover, when Chen Nian was renovating, he specially made the kitchen so that you can see the cooking inside.

After all, Chen Nian knew that his level was average at that time, so he used some crooked ideas and wanted to consider marketing first.

At least attract the guests first.

Therefore, the reason Chen Nian told his mother at that time was actually his original idea, but later he got the mysterious recipe inexplicably.

Chen Mingyu sat in front, and just smelling the smell made him feel that the price was worth it!

And through the window just now, he clearly saw that Chen Nian had put meat inside!

You can actually eat meat for a dollar of Mapo Tofu?

This was something he never expected. As it was stir-fried, Chen Mingyu felt that it was getting more and more fragrant.

I couldn't help but go to the window and take a look. The beef cubes that had begun to spit out oil were rolling continuously in the iron pot.

The chili noodles, Z County bean paste and light soy sauce have been added to wrap the beef cubes. The grains are clear. They are clustered in the pot, with hot oil, tight and smooth, and the color is as attractive as a sea and sky.

Feast.

Chen Mingyu's mouth was drooling like crazy when he saw it!

He even felt that if he took off his leather shoes now and threw them in and let them fry for a while, it would probably be extremely delicious.

Of course he wouldn't do such a thing.

I used the bamboo pick I bought at the morning market for ten yuan to gently scoop up the blanched tofu in the pot on the side, and then put it into the pot.

Immediately afterwards, it is as light and flexible as Tai Chi, soft and slow.

The action when stir-frying beef just now forms two extremes, which coincides with the harmony of hardness and softness, the harmony of yin and yang.

These descriptive sentences suddenly appeared in Chen Mingyu's mind.

As it ages, it is thickened three times, and finally a handful of finely chopped Sichuan peppercorns are sprinkled in, and the Mapo Tofu comes out of the pot smoothly!

Feng Honghong stared at the plate of Mapo Tofu in stunned silence.

She didn’t even know when her son had learned this craft, which seemed to have been immersed in it for decades!

Whether it's cutting the knife, ingredients, spooning, heat, technique, thickening, every action seems to have been done thousands of times!

You don’t even need to be distracted to look.

But now she can only keep all these questions in her stomach.

Mapo tofu was served to the table first, and then he scooped a full bowl of rice from the rice bucket.

"alright."

After Chen Nian finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the kitchen. While simmering the pot and spoon, he secretly looked at the first customer after the reopening of Honghong Hotel.

Obviously judging from the other party's expression, the customer was very satisfied with the first impression of this Mapo Tofu.

Although he is not from Sichuan, he has been in Chengdu for many years and has eaten a lot of Mapo Tofu.

“Is this really Mapo Tofu that you can buy for just one dollar?”

"This tofu alone costs more than one yuan, right? And there's so much meat in it."

Chen Mingyu suddenly felt an unreal feeling.

But the crazy protest in his stomach still defeated his worries. If he didn't eat, he might become a perpetual motion machine.

The mouth secretes saliva crazily into the stomach, and then circulates through the body.

Re-secretion, recycling.

Gently use a spoon to scoop up a complete piece of tofu together with the red soup from below, and look at the tofu's fat-skinned body with a bridal-like red dress hanging tremblingly on the spoon, cute and cute

Tempting.

This makes him reluctant to mix it with rice.

Immediately afterwards, he made a decision that went against his ancestors.

Blow on it gently and put it in your mouth.

moment!

Numb, spicy, crispy, fragrant, hot, tender, and tingling, seven sensations begin to bombard your mouth in turn!

The feeling of hunger just now was greatly satisfied at this moment!

Squeeze your upper and lower jaw gently, and the tofu will melt immediately!

At the same time, the hotness hidden in the tofu's body surged out once again.

The layered sense of hemp produced by adding Sichuan peppercorns three times in succession is once again amplified.

Coupled with the crispy aroma of the beef, after being stir-fried over high heat, the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes.
Chapter completed!
