With the concerted help of many people, I quickly found a suitable shop next to the old vegetable market in Binnan Si, less than one stop away from Jiangnan Building. The shop is not in a small alley.
inside, but on Binnan Branch Road. Binnan Branch Road is not long, but very wide. It can accommodate three cars passing side by side. One end is connected to Binnan Road and the other end is Daoxin Lake.
, and therefore no cars are allowed on this section of the road. On this branch road several hundred meters long, there are small shops and stalls selling various daily necessities and snacks. During work hours on weekdays, the roads in other places are closed.
There are few people walking, but this road is bustling with people coming and going. They are all home-bound adults or housewives and men who go out to buy things.
The shop is not big, only about ten square meters in size, with a small freezer, a few liquefied stoves, three folding dining tables, a small bathroom and a small loft that can only hold a bed, plus various other things.
The transfer fee for pots, pans, pans and other utensils is 20,000, which is a relatively generous price. This small shop used to sell sand*
County snacks, but the store owner chose the wrong location. Most of the people who come to Binan Branch are here to buy food and will not eat noodles here. Therefore, this store has been able to maintain its status since it opened.
On the verge of not losing money, this time the small shop owner finally found a suitable store in a community, and then he wanted to sell the store.
Coincidentally, the original store owner usually received a lot of care from Director Liu, so when he saw Director Liu come to the door, he agreed to transfer the store to Jiang Li and Li Quancai without any hesitation.
Someone came to my door and raised the price more. Since it was on Round Street,
Within the jurisdiction, Gudao has also given full play to his advantages. Regarding the neighborhood committee, the landlord has nothing to feel embarrassed about. The rent must still be increased if it should be increased, but it will be much easier if people from the police station come to the door, and the landlord also knows
Yeah, you can't mess with people from the police station.
Why can't you provoke me? It's simple. Anyway, the stipulated time for dispatching the police is within ten minutes. Well, if someone else calls, I will arrive immediately. But if you call instead, I will delay my arrival until the tenth minute.
Ten minutes is enough for those little gangsters to do a lot of things and nothing else.
Just quarreling and fighting in your store without damaging anything in your store. How can his store survive in the long run? Most people who come to Binan Branch to buy things will
It's a nearby residence. Once everyone knows that his shop is not peaceful, I'm afraid no one will rent his shop in the future.
Furthermore, Jiang Li didn't disagree with him raising the rent, but he just asked him to wait for a year and a half before raising the rent until the store improved. After all, in half a year, he would have received three to five thousand less.
If the shop rent is RMB 10,000, then change the half-yearly payable shop rent to a monthly payment? In fact, the landlord’s loss is not
It's a big loss. It seems that it's not a loss to gain the goodwill of the police and the neighborhood committee with such a small loss. If he has to do things in the future, it will be much easier. The reason is that the landlord will go abroad for a trip soon.
, the application for this passport requires certificates from the neighborhood committee and the police station.[
Jiang Li is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others, and Li Quancai doesn't care much about the three to five thousand yuan. It's just that it's the early days of starting a business. It's better to break a penny into two petals. How much can be saved?
, Therefore, the two of them discussed it and felt that the landlord was pretty good. He said that he wanted to increase the rent, which was well-founded, because next to this small shop
Several stores with similar areas have already gone up. As for his small store, the price is still the same as two years ago. They just want to increase it to the same level as other stores. This request is reasonable, so Jiang
Li promised the landlord on the spot that when his restaurant improved and the rent increased, he would give him all the money he had earned in the past few months.
This is considered to be a happy place for everyone. All that is needed is for both parties to make concessions. In the final analysis, no major interests of either party have been lost. Of course, there is Director Liu's sworn guarantee, saying that she has eaten the mutton soup cooked by Jiang Li.
The taste is guaranteed to sell well, and there are old sayings that Jiang Li and Li Quancai are good people, so the landlord is willing to give in. If it were replaced by someone else who didn't know the details, he might not be so easy to talk to.
The guys in the store had everything ready-made. All Jiang Li and the others had to do was clean up thoroughly and scrub all the utensils inside and out with alkali. With the help of the security guards who were not on duty,
In just one day, the entire shop was completely new. Just waiting for the new casserole to be soaked and cured, and the new signboard to be put up, it was ready for business.
Director Liu helped get all the licenses for the shop. The neighborhood committee came forward, and the industrial and commercial people did not make things difficult for Jiang Li and the others. When getting the health certificate, Jiang Li only asked Li Qingbao to go for a physical examination and get one, while he used
The reason why I don’t care about the store
He was worried that if he failed to pass the physical examination, leaving a clue to the industrial and commercial side, who was going to frame him has not yet been found out. If the enemy smelled the scent and came forward, he would have to do it again.
Got into a lot of trouble.
Jiang Li didn't pay attention to other things. He only paid attention to the casserole. He insisted on buying a good casserole with a fine texture in the supermarket. The price of this kind of casserole was several times more expensive than that sold in ordinary grocery stores. The reason was that he
, the soil used in a good casserole is the real pottery
Many of the ones you buy in grocery stores for a few yuan each are made of clay mixed with a large amount of red mud. Not only are the distribution uniformity and fineness of the micropores inferior to those made entirely of clay.
Yes, even the mineral content in clay is very different.
Don't underestimate this difference. The finer the micropores, the more even the distribution. During each use of the casserole, the soup absorbed by each part will be even, and the heat preservation performance will be good. The remaining liquid after each use will be better.
The soup will become more and more concentrated, and when the micropores are almost filled, the casserole is almost mature. From this time on, the casserole will begin to feed back the soup of the ingredients in the pot. Use such a casserole to cook
The cooked soup will be more fragrant and rich.
But if the micropores are too large, not only will the time for raising the casserole be longer, but also because the penetration of minerals inside will not be obvious, the soup will be inferior. Therefore, when choosing a casserole, even if it looks exactly the same in the supermarket
Yes, Jiang Li must also use his fingers to curl up the casserole and specially select the kind that can produce gold and stone.
If the casserole makes a crisp sound, but the sound is dull, it means there are internal injuries, or there are more blisters, or there are one or several small cracks, which are very easy to cause during the firing process.
If defects occur, don't wait until a pot suddenly burns and cracks after finally cultivating it. The loss at that time will be considerable.
Of course, ordinary people can't taste this difference, but gourmets can. Moreover, although ordinary diners can't distinguish the subtle differences, they can still develop their taste. If they are used to eating like this
cooked in a casserole
The food suddenly changed to another one, and they could immediately feel an indescribable difference between the two. They might not be able to tell what the difference was, but they could intuitively feel the difference in other stores.
The taste seems to be missing something.
When you buy a new casserole, you need to go through a preliminary development process. This preliminary development is not difficult. You just need to soak it in light salt water for a day and night so that the casserole body can fully absorb the water, and then take it out to dry naturally.
That’s it. There is no requirement for the degree of drying. As long as the surface is naturally dry and your hands don’t feel wet, it only takes three to five hours.
Not only is the mutton soup for sale, Jiang Li is also preparing to produce another of his specialty dishes, which is braised pork knuckles (I won’t go into the recipe. If you want to know how to make it, read "The Legend of the King of Food", in that book
There are dishes that have been introduced
The method will not be explained in detail here.) The method is very simple, just mix the ingredients, simmer in a large pot until the soup is almost gone, then divide it into a small casserole, and simmer until the soup is almost gone.
It's done, that's it. That's it
The braised pork knuckle is so rotten that the meat does not fall apart, and all the essence of the soup is absorbed into the meat. When eating, you only need to put a piece into your mouth, stir it gently with your tongue and teeth, and all the bones and flesh will be separated.
, bones are very convenient
When you spit it out, what's left in your mouth is a mouthful of fragrant, glutinous, slippery, plus the teeth and stickiness of the tendons in it, which firmly infiltrates and wraps every taste cell on the taste buds, making you feel all over.
Soothing and can't stop.
Of course, Jiang Li also took into account some people's requirements for chewing, so whether it is mutton soup or braised pork knuckles, he has prepared two methods, one is to ensure that the chewing is as chewy as possible, and the other
The first is to ensure that the taste is the main thing. The difference is that the degree of flavor is different. There is no way to do this. If you want to deepen the flavor, you have to simmer for a long time, and
And simmer it slowly over low heat, allowing the flavor in the soup to penetrate into every cell of the meat bit by bit. Or, at all costs, boil it first, then put it in the refrigerator and let it
Soak the soup for a day and night, then boil it again, and then put it in the refrigerator to soak. Repeat this two or three times to ensure that it is chewy and fully flavored.
Obviously, this approach requires a lot of costs for the newly opened small restaurant in Jiangli. First of all, an oversized freezer is indispensable, and thirdly, the inventory must be at least two or three days at a time. Both of these are
It requires a very large amount of capital, which is not something that a small store with an investment of less than 30,000 yuan can afford now.
