The idea that Xu Tongdao came up with does not require much investment, just buy some small copper pots and alcohol stoves.
Still making a fuss about mutton.
When the weather gets colder, I will focus on the mutton pot.
Based on the current prices in the county's catering industry, a mutton pot should cost about 30 yuan.
As for diners who are generally willing to order mutton hotpot, if nothing else happens, they will also order a few other dishes. Then they will order a bottle of white wine or something. After sitting down at the table, they can casually spend sixty or seventy yuan, or even
More.
His barbecue can also continue to be sold.
Of course, if they just sell mutton pots, it would be a bit ordinary and have no special features. There are definitely many similar small restaurants in this county, not to mention all over the streets.
Since Comrade Xu wants to specialize in mutton pots, he must make his own specialties.
It just so happened that when he was working as a chef, he stole someone else's whole-sheep feast.
The so-called whole sheep feast does not mean that a whole sheep is roasted and served on the table, but a table of seven or eight dishes, or even a dozen dishes, all made from various parts of the sheep.
For example, sheep's hooves.
Generally, chefs will not make a special dish using sheep's trotters. They will most likely chop the sheep's trotters into small pieces and braise them together with the mutton.
This cannot be said to be wrong.
But firstly, it has no special features, and secondly...the sheep's hooves made this way cannot be sold at a high price.
But what if you make a special dish of salt and pepper lamb trotters?
Four small lamb hooves are more than 80% bones, but as long as they are made into salt and pepper lamb hooves, they can be sold for the price of a mutton pot in minutes.
How much mutton is usually used for a mutton pot?
At least one kilogram of mutton is needed, because after the mutton is cooked, it will shrink seriously. After one kilogram of mutton is cooked, it is considered good if there are only seven or eight taels left.
Another example: mutton soup, a few paper-thin mutton slices, a few slices of sheep blood, and about a tael of mutton intestines and liver and other offal, boiled in a bowl of mutton soup, it can also be sold
The price of half a mutton pot.
But... if you want to sell these originally worthless things at such a high price, you must have a sign.
Otherwise diners won't recognize it.
And a small restaurant that can make a whole sheep feast, no matter how small, is qualified to sell it like this, provided that the production level of the whole sheep feast cannot be bad.
This is a test for Xu Tongdao.
This was because he had never made a whole-goat feast before. He had only seen a chef who worked in the same kitchen do it. He had seen how to make every dish of the whole-goat feast, but he had never tried it himself.
Therefore, he needed to do many experiments before officially launching the whole sheep feast.
Every dish needs to be tested many times.
You have to do it until you are satisfied.
That night, it was obviously two or three o'clock in the morning. Comrade Xu was lying in bed, still not sleepy, and kept thinking about this matter in his mind.
After thinking about it, he felt that this small county town was not the most suitable place for a whole sheep feast.
After all, the county is still too small, and the consumption level here is limited. There will definitely not be many people who are willing to eat a whole sheep feast.
But he did not give up the idea of studying the whole sheep feast.
There are two reasons.
First, as long as he can make a praiseworthy whole-lamb feast, his shop will become famous in this county. From now on, people who want to eat mutton in this county will first think of coming to him.
's small shop.
Because it's professional enough.
Two... He has no intention of doing business in this small county town all his life. The market in the county town is too small, isn't there a city?
In addition to the city, there are also first-tier metropolises such as the Magic City and the capital.
As long as his whole-sheep feast is good enough, there are too many places in the country where he can display it, but I'm afraid his whole-sheep feast won't be able to reach that level.
Therefore, he decided to try it in his current small shop first, practicing his skills and making money at the same time. When the time comes, he can go to a big city at any time.
In the early morning of that day, he lay in bed and thought a lot. In addition to the whole sheep feast, he also thought of some other plans. He had thought of some plans in the days after he was reborn.
Catering is where he accumulated his original capital. In a few years, the country will be changing rapidly, and many money-making industries and opportunities will appear. If there is an opportunity, he naturally does not want to let it go.
…
After dawn, Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin got up early as usual and washed up at the same time as usual. When they were about to wash up, Rooster Ge Lianghua came back on his bicycle.
Obviously, this guy stayed up last night.
Most probably he went to sleep with Feng Qinghua.
Comrade Xu admired his good energy. Yesterday, he was busy from morning to midnight, but this guy still had the energy and mood to sleep with Feng Qinghua. As expected, his body and bones were incredible.
However, in Xu Tongdao's memory, Ge Lianghua, the rooster of the original time and space, had significantly declined in physical fitness before he reached the age of 40.
The whole person is getting thinner and thinner, and the toughness of his youth has faded away.
He obviously ages faster than his peers.
And the reason?
There were only two things that Xu Tongdao could see, one was cigarettes and the other was wine.
He remembered that Ge Lianghua in the original time and space lived a very unrestrained life. He often smoked without leaving his hand, and drank twice a day, and sometimes drank in the morning.
Not only does he drink frequently, but he also drinks a large amount each time. He often starts with a pound of liquor.
"Brother, take care of yourself!"
Thinking of Ge Lianghua's lack of restraint in the original time and space, Comrade Xu patted Ge Lianghua's arm who had just returned and reminded him.
Ge Lianghua is still as strong as an ox now, and Xu Tongdao doesn't want him to ruin his good body early in this life.
Ge Lianghua pouted, "I still need you to remind me? Look at who of us is stronger? You'd better practice more! You are much thinner than me!"
Comrade Xu did not argue with him because it was a fact.
Firstly, he is only 17 years old and his body has not yet fully grown. Secondly, the food his family used to eat was too vegetarian and his nutrition was not up to par. In the past two years, he has grown taller but not at all.
"Let's go! Let's go buy groceries first!"
…
When they came back from shopping, Xu Tongdao asked Xu Tonglin to wake Xu Tonglu up. He and Ge Lianghua took the various ingredients they had just bought directly to the store and made breakfast.
While he was making breakfast himself, he asked Ge Lianghua to go to the hotel where his mother and the others stayed last night and call them over to have breakfast together.
When Ge Liangcai left last night, he told him which hotel he would arrange for his mother and others to stay at.
Because this breakfast was to be eaten with his mother and the others, Xu Tongdao deliberately made it much richer than usual. He not only cooked noodles, but also fried several vegetables, and even went to a nearby breakfast shop to buy some steamed buns, fried dough sticks and fried dumplings.
As soon as breakfast was prepared here, his younger brother Xu Tonglu came with Xu Tonglin.
Not long after, Ge Lianghua also picked up his mother and others.
When having breakfast together, Xu Tongdao thought that they would take a boat home together this morning, and he asked the same question.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tonglin's mother Zhang Lizhi said with a smile: "They will go home today, I'm not in a hurry! I have to go to the county hospital to find my niece in a while! I want to arrange for her to meet your cousin today."
Comrade Xu was surprised.
I just heard my cousin Ge Liangcai talk about introducing a partner last night. Xu Tonglin’s mother wants to arrange it today? Isn’t this too anxious?
