Ding Yougang looked at the menu in his hand and couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. He hesitated a little, it was too damn expensive.
Even though I have to treat customers to meals and drinks frequently when I run my own factory, it is still very rare to eat at such an expensive place.
After all, the profits of small factories are not much, so ordinary banquets are not a big problem, but if you come to such a high-end restaurant every time, I am afraid that the money spent on the banquet will not be worth the profits.
A dish here costs more than 200 yuan, and it is not an expensive dish. He glanced at a [garlic bone] (350g) for 218 yuan, and raised his eyebrows. The ribs cost more than 300 yuan per kilogram.
It's a bit outrageous.
Moreover, the reason why their dinner parties were so expensive in the past was mostly because the drinks were too expensive. After all, a bottle of good wine costs hundreds or even thousands.
On average, the per capita unit price will go up. After all, averages are the most bluffing thing. Average wages and average incomes are all averaged.
Li Xiao knew what the real situation was.
After all, he decided to join the industry after seeing the average salary of that anchor.
But later I learned that they first excluded those anchors who had no income, then included all the income of the top anchors, and then averaged it with other street anchors, which suddenly raised the income level of the entire industry.
If you exclude expensive drinks, a normal meal for them only costs one or two hundred yuan per person.
However, the price on the menu in front of me, even if I don’t order any drinks, would cost an average of six or seven hundred per person. If I just order a bottle of wine, it would probably be over a thousand.
The corners of his mouth twitched and he spoke to Li Xiao with some complaints.
"Next time you go out to eat, just choose a cheaper one or a food stall. Let us two brothers don't imitate the bells and whistles of outsiders when we eat. It's such a waste of money."
Although Li Xiao had already agreed on this meal, it was to thank Ding Yougang for helping to pick the car, so he had to treat him to a treat.
But even if it was a treat for his brother, it would still be real money. He was afraid that Li Xiao would become lavish when he got rich.
After all, he still has a certain understanding of live broadcasting. This industry may suddenly explode, but it may also suddenly fall into a trough due to certain things.
It may be live broadcasting well today, but tomorrow it will become a public enemy.
But this is not a good thing to say, just say it casually.
There is a limit to the advice between friends. Once it crosses the line, feelings can be easily hurt. After all, good advice can be harsh on the ears, and words of advice like this usually don’t sound good, so the words need to be carefully considered.
While installing the live broadcast equipment, Li Xiao looked at Ding Yougang's troubled expression and chuckled. He knew exactly what the other party was worried about and did not blame him for talking too much.
Only a really good brother would give advice. If he were an ordinary fair-weather friend, he would be eager for you to take him to eat and drink delicious food every day.
"Don't worry, I'm very sensible about these things. Besides, don't I have to live broadcast later? I can't live broadcast at a food stall. And let alone the cost of this meal for my live broadcast, I have spent the past two months
You can earn back your car loan.”
Suddenly Li Xiao changed the topic and asked
"By the way, I remember that your family sells clothes, did you open an online store to join in the fun?"
When he heard Li Xiaocha change the topic, Ding Yougang didn't hold on and nodded in response.
"Yes, there is, but it's useless to open it. No one in our family is good at this. It's okay if you let my brother and I go out to socialize and drink with clients."
"We really can't do that online store. We spent hundreds of dollars to get someone to make a web page and put things up. The sales volume in a month was only about ten or twenty items. On average, we didn't sell any items in a day. If
It was prohibitively expensive to find someone to take care of it, so I just left it there and ignored it."
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, and this time it was him who spoke to persuade him.
"I'm not telling you, why don't you find someone to run that Taobao online store? Today's Internet economy is far more popular than the real economy."
"How about I go over and help you bring goods when I have time these days? Although my expertise here is not suitable, I can still help you test the effect of live streaming. If the effect is good, you can find someone to do the online shopping.
If you start a project and the results are not good, just forget it.”
"Some time ago, by the way, before I came back to Dongguan, I went to my second uncle's house to help him start the B&B tour. Now the reservation for the room has been booked for a few months, which is much better than
It was much better for them to go fishing before."
Hearing Li Xiao's words, Ding Yougang was a little moved.
Who doesn't want to earn more money, but he thought about it again, Li Xiao's current hourly salary is tens of thousands, and he can't afford it in his small shabby place.
After all, it would be embarrassing if the price of the goods sold was not as high as his brother's salary. Li Xiao seemed to notice Ding Yougang's hesitation, and said with a chuckle
"Don't worry, we don't have anything to do with each other. Besides, I want to help you, not you asking me for help. Besides, I haven't even confiscated the monitor's fee, so how can I charge you?"
Li Xiao also told the story about giving the squad leader's promotion fee to the audience in a disguised form to help promote it again. After some persuasion, Ding Yougang reluctantly agreed.
At this time, after the private discussion was over, Li Xiao turned on his mobile phone and clicked on the background of Mao Mao Live Broadcast.
The online message was immediately sent out from the background.
The number of people increased rapidly. After all, it was a holiday like Friday.
Whether they are students or workers, their enthusiasm and efficiency at work have been greatly weakened, and the number of people during meal times is even smaller than usual.
Soon the number of people reached more than 80,000.
"Professional model workers of the Kitten Platform."
"This was aired again not long after it was aired. I was so diligent that I feel ashamed after having to touch fish for a long time."
"The people upstairs were talking about how ashamed they were, while they continued to fish."
"It's too much. Don't expose others."
"Speaking of which, I'm from Dongguan. I want to go to your friend's store tomorrow to try it out. Can I get a discount by saying your name?"
.....
Li Xiao responded with a smile
"That's a must. I told my friend that I got a 12% discount. The original price was 558 yuan per person, and the current price is 490 yuan per person."
"However, this preferential price will only be gone after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. To enjoy this price, you need to show your Mao Mao platform account. Only by following my account can you get this discount."
Li Xiao flipped through the menu in front of him as he introduced it. There was no big discrepancy with the information found on the Internet.
Although the other party's post was from a year ago, the menu has not changed.
In fact, not most high-end restaurants change their menus every quarter. For traditional restaurants like this, there are very few innovative dishes.
Therefore, even if the menu is changed, it will only change the small menu, which is the so-called seasonal menu, and will not change the content of the large menu.
Call the manager, Li Xiao is familiar with the road and orders food
"Steamed chicken with cordyceps flower, stir-fried sashimi, garlic bone, brine platter, mustard kale, and white bamboo shoots in chicken soup, that's the six dishes."
The manager of the restaurant worked quickly on the ordering machine and quickly quoted the price of the meal.
"Hello, the total is 1,215 yuan. Should I scan the QR code or pay in cash?"
"Scan the code."
Scan the QR code to pay, and the lady left quickly.
While Li Xiao was introducing the restaurant to the audience, he and Ding Yougang continued to talk in detail about the live broadcast of goods.
Live audience
!!!!!!
"Good guys, the anchor won't treat us as outsiders this time?"
"I think the anchor may have forgotten to turn off the camera!"
"What are you thinking about? I must have remembered that I was just chatting with the water friends."
“Although there are no pictures, I want to buy their clothes for no reason.”
"The black-hearted anchor has been cashing out like crazy just after he became popular. He is going to promote a restaurant tomorrow, and today he is hurriedly looking for the next promotion??"
[XXXXX has been permanently banned]
"Hey, why don't you tell me about the realization? Now you can only tell lies in this live broadcast room, but you can't tell the truth? Everyone, please leave quickly and don't stay here anymore."
[XXXXX has been permanently banned]
.....
[XXXXX has been permanently banned]
Li Xiao frowned when he saw a series of banned messages, and he quickly explained
"Whether it's promotion tomorrow or in the near future, they are friends I have known for a long time."
"I absolutely trust their character, and I can promise here that I didn't make any money on either side."
"In addition, if you have any after-sales problems, you can come to me directly. You don't need to go to the merchant. I can guarantee it for both parties. If any problems arise, we can compensate you directly here."
After some explanations, harmony was finally restored in the live broadcast room.
Although some viewers still expressed doubts about this, those black men who were obviously not professionals and did not lead the way, naturally Jiang Yingxue did not ban them.
After Li Xiao and I had just confirmed that there would be a live broadcast in the factory on Monday or Tuesday, the first dish was also served.
"Hello you two, [Steamed Chicken with Cordyceps Flower]"
As the copper plate containing steamed chicken with cordyceps flowers was placed on the table, the familiar system prompts came as promised.
[Ding dong, check-in is successful, the food store you checked in is: [Little Canal]]
[Twenty-one years old store, consistent quality]

[Sous chef: 2-star senior chef: Cao Ying]
"Ding dong, the system rating, the star rating of [Little Canal] is 3 stars."
"Ding dong, you have won a 3-star food store check-in reward"

[Money: 1,000 yuan]
【Famous: 30】
[Introduction to fame: 1 point of fame will allow 10 strangers to recognize you through different channels]
When Li Xiao saw the column [The feud between the two factions of chefs led to frequent mistakes in the production], his heart skipped a beat. When he saw the two chefs appearing behind him, he felt that he was about to step on a thunderbolt today.
You need to know that the back chef of a medium-sized restaurant like this usually only has a dozen or so people, at most one chef and multiple sous chefs.
Of course, if the scale is larger, positions such as executive chef and head chef will appear, but these two are usually administrative positions.
Usually they don't have much influence on the production. They don't interfere too much in the production of the kitchen, and they usually manage human resources.
However, there are actually two chefs in such a small restaurant, and the system clearly stated that the two chefs were divided into two factions.
Although there is a world where there are people, there can usually only be one boss in a world like the kitchen, which is like the top spot in a club.
The words of the boss are the imperial edict of the world, and whoever leaves and who stays can be decided with one word.
And most of the chefs are a whole team, just like He Beibei's team. Once she resigns, the others will leave directly.
Now that there are two bosses in a club, not only whether they can work well, but also who the people below should listen to has become a problem.
However, Li Xiao probably guessed the reason for this situation, or there were multiple shareholders in the hotel who were not trusting each other.
Either the boss is suspicious of the chef, so he specially found a group of people to prevent the old chef family from becoming dominant and creating a check and balance.
After all, many chefs will put forward various conditions after their store business is good, ask for leave every three days, frequently ask for salary increases, or add unnecessary manpower to eat up their wages.
Many people think that this is a matter of course. After all, when the store business is good, the boss should increase the wages of the people below.
This sentence cannot be said to be wrong, but everything should have a degree.
When many chefs see a restaurant making 100,000 yuan a month, they feel that all the credit is due to themselves and that they just take half of the profits.
He was completely benevolent enough to leave the remaining half to his boss. In his mind, he even believed that it was reasonable for him to ask for seventy or eighty thousand.
But he completely failed to consider that all the risks were borne by the boss, and the large expenses of manual water and electricity decoration had nothing to do with him.
Once the restaurant suffers losses, he can leave with a slap on the butt, and the boss will lose everything.
The above two situations are very likely to occur, so Li Xiao is not sure whether the current [Little Canal] is the former or the latter.
However, the final rating of three stars did surprise him. He thought to himself, if there weren't so many bad things here, would it be rated four stars?
Put aside the messy thoughts in your mind and put your attention back to the [Cordyceps Flower Steamed Chicken] that appeared in front of you.
Li Xiao did not rush to pick up the food, but pointed the camera at the copper plate and explained to the audience in the live broadcast room
"Steamed chicken on a copper plate is actually a famous dish in Shunde. The reason why a copper plate is used as a steaming chicken vessel is because the copper plate has strong thermal conductivity and is heated evenly, which can make the flavor of the chicken more prominent."
"The main purpose of steaming food is to maintain the juiciness and tenderness of the food. Once steamed for too long, the outer layer of meat will become old."
"Using a copper plate will heat the top and bottom of the chicken on the copper plate at the same time, reducing the cooking time. Of course, if you don't have a copper plate at home, you can use an iron plate or a stainless steel plate. The principle is the same."
"But based on my many years of experience, although it is also a metal plate, it is more delicious to steam it with copper. I don't know the reason."
After introducing the principle of steaming chicken on a copper plate, Li Xiao picked up a few orange cordyceps flowers and a piece of chicken leg meat.
First, put the Cordyceps flower into your mouth. Two different Cordyceps flowers are used here, one is fresh Cordyceps flower and the other is dried Cordyceps flower.
The reason why two kinds of Cordyceps flowers are used is because different Cordyceps flowers will bring different flavors to the chicken in front of you.
The scent of dried Cordyceps flowers is more intense, and you can smell the strong aroma coming from the mushrooms from a long distance away.
Fresh Cordyceps flowers have a clear feeling, are sweet, soft and juicy, and have a crispier bite.
The two kinds of grass flowers become sweet and delicious after absorbing enough steam and the gravy exuded from the local chicken.
Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction. The price of the dishes is a bit expensive, but the quality of the ingredients is quite good. It can be said that it is worth the money.
Picking up a piece of chicken and throwing it into your mouth, the rich aroma of chicken and cordyceps flowers immediately filled your mouth.
"This dish of steamed local chicken with Cordyceps flower is quite good. If it were 100 points, I would give it 90 points. The heat of the chicken is just right. If it is steamed for one minute more, it will be too old, and if it is steamed for one minute less, it will be undercooked.
"
"The chicken is tender, refreshing, and has a strong chicken flavor. You can tell at a glance that it is free-range chicken. It should be fed grains, and some dried insects may even be added to it, otherwise the chicken flavor would not be so strong."
"Sometimes when you go out to eat, you find that the chicken is very big, but you can't taste it. The chicken is basically raised on feed. Instant chickens usually only take 100 days to raise, and they are bigger than chickens.
The native chicken that eats grains should be a lot bigger.”
The cooking method of this steamed local chicken with cordyceps flowers is quite simple, just chop the chicken into small pieces and throw them into a steamer to steam. However, the heat and the selection of ingredients are so good that it makes this dish very delicious.
This is exactly what Chef Chen said: "The best ingredients only need to be cooked simply."
I didn’t take more than two bites before the second dish arrived.
"Hello, [Stir-fried Sashimi] is ready. Please eat it while it's hot, otherwise it may smell fishy when it gets cold."
The moment the [Stir-fried Sashimi] was served, the smile on Li Xiao's face faded slightly.
For no other reason than the appearance of this 228 yuan plate of sashimi, it was a death sentence.
The fish fillet in a normal [Stir-fried Sashimi] should be complete and dry. However, the fish fillet that appeared in front of you, although the whole was still intact, the edges looked like they had been chewed by a dog.
The edges were bumpy and bumpy. Judging from this state alone, Li Xiao knew that the texture must be soft and rotten, not crispy, without even tasting it.
Li Xiao did not introduce it to the audience in the live broadcast room first, but picked up a piece of fish fillet and threw it into his mouth.
He planned to taste it first before making any conclusions. He was also worried that this might be a special practice here. If he criticized it first, but the taste turned out to be very good, he would be slapped in the face.
Recently, there has been a strict crackdown on comments and pictures. I was afraid of being blocked, so I just posted the pictures to the group. Please forgive me.
