Chapter 606 Fried Dumplings
Shen Min usually comes to help half an hour before the end of the dinner. In other words, Shen Min's arrival means that there is only half an hour left for the dinner, so the dinner ends not long after.
"Boss, welcome back, I'm leaving first." Zhou Jia said goodbye to Yuan Zhou seriously.
"Well, be careful on the road." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Goodbye Jiajia." Shen Min also said goodbye to Zhou Jia.
"Goodbye." Zhou Jia waved and left quickly. Night classes would start soon.
The rain stopped unconsciously,
"Boss Yuan, I'm going to clean up the second floor." Shen Min looked at Yuan Zhou questioningly.
"Well, go ahead." The towel Yuan Zhou took out after winter was always warm.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." Shen Min took the towel, nodded, and quickly ran to the second floor of the tavern, preparing to wipe the chairs and tables.
"Squeak" Yuanzhou thought for a moment and opened the partition, walked out of the kitchen and came to the door.
It gets dark early in Chengdu in winter, and it's already dark after eight o'clock. At this time, there are still many open shops on the side streets, but if Yuan Zhou opened barbecue shops today, there would be more and later.
Because the opening of Yuanzhou's small shop means there is business. There are only a few people coming to the tavern, but the barbecue is different. There are many people coming, and other shops can naturally share the diners.
"It's really dark." Yuan Zhou raised his eyes and looked around, then said to himself.
After seeing it in person, I realized that it was darker than what Yuan Zhou remembered. There were only two street lights at the intersection in the entire small street, and these were the street lights on the main road.
I visually inspected the street distance and found that the street distance was very narrow, making it almost impossible to install street lights.
Yuan Zhou spoke again, "It seems it's time for this male god to take action."
"Boss Yuan is waiting at the door in person today. Are there any new dishes?" Chen Wei's voice interrupted Yuan Zhou's imagination.
"No, the time is almost up." Yuan Zhou calmed down his expression and said seriously.
This is like checking whether the diners are coming, and the reason is very legitimate.
"Oh, I thought there were new dishes to go with the wine." Chen Wei touched his head with a look of regret on his face.
"Please come in." Yuan Zhou opened the door and invited Chen Wei and others to come in.
Then Shen Min, who came downstairs, began to greet people and lead the diners to the second floor of the pub to prepare for drinking.
Yuan Zhou sat alone on a chair in the kitchen and took out his mobile phone.
"Well, if you pay before 11 o'clock in the morning, it will arrive on the same day, which is good." Yuan Zhou looked at the merchant with the fastest delivery and decisively clicked on it.
In order to fit the environment of the store, Yuan Zhou chose a simple style, but it still had lotus patterns on it.
"This can still reflect my taste." Yuan Zhou looked at the simple lantern and was very satisfied.
After finishing his work, Yuanzhou relaxed and prepared for a break before practicing every day.
Early the next morning, after the breakfast time in Yuanzhou's shop ended, and after seeing off the diners and Zhou Jia, Yuanzhou came out to take a look again.
"It hasn't been delivered yet, it might be in the afternoon." Yuan Zhou stood at the door. There was no express delivery among the passers-by, so he couldn't help but mutter.
There are usually many breakfast stalls at the entrance of Yuanzhou's small shops. Over time, the stalls here even have their own fixed positions.
"Boss Yuan, boss Yuan, hello." Yuan Zhou was about to enter the house when someone called him.
The person who stopped Yuan Zhou was a young man wearing a black down jacket, about twenty-six or seven years old. He was holding a plate in his hand, and the plate was still steaming.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Zhou turned around and asked calmly.
"That's right, I'd like to ask you to try my fried dumplings, please." The man said and handed the plate to him politely.
There were four fat and white fried dumplings on the plate, the bottoms were browned and steaming, and there was a pair of clean chopsticks on the plate.
"Why." Yuan Zhou asked directly.
"It's like this. You know I've been here for half a year. Business used to be very good, but now it's a lot worse. You went to Japan and closed the store, but there are still a lot of people coming to see you every day. Your craftsmanship is so good, can you please help me, please." The young man lowered his head again and said with a sincere face.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou did not refuse.
The reason why Yuan Zhou agreed was very simple. First of all, this man was very polite. Yuan Zhou was just unwilling to communicate, not that he didn't understand him at all. In this situation, it was difficult for him to refuse.
Secondly, this man looks young but is very disciplined. Ever since he put up a sign to take away the garbage himself, he would clean up the ground before leaving every time he set up a stall. Sometimes he would also help the old lady selling steamed buns.
Yuanzhou saw all this.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Boss Yuan." The young man immediately thanked him with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah." Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks and directly picked up a fried dumpling.
A fried dumpling is only as long as a finger, and can be finished in just three or two mouthfuls.
"How is it?" The young man looked at Yuan Zhou nervously, waiting for Yuan Zhou's evaluation.
"Use this to finish the fried dumplings." Yuan Zhou suddenly handed the chopsticks to the young man backwards.
"Ah?" The young man didn't react for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Eat." Yuanzhou reminded.
"Okay." The young man took the chopsticks and picked up the dumplings to eat.
The young man only brought four fried dumplings in total. Yuanzhou ate one and only three were left. The young man ate two in one go and couldn't hold it any longer.
"Boss Yuan, do you want me to eat the current fried dumplings and then think about the old fried dumplings for comparison?" the young man raised his head and asked.
"Finish it." Yuan Zhou said looking at the last fried dumpling on the plate.
"Oh, okay." The young man picked up the chopsticks again and ate the fried dumplings in one bite.
"I understand. Boss Yuan wants me to taste it myself?" The young man seemed to suddenly have an epiphany and understand Yuan Zhou's purpose of doing this.
So he said to himself: "I tasted it carefully, and I think there is no difference. To say the difference, I used to pack less meat, but now I have more meat. I bought good meat. I feel that the business should be better." It's better." The young man swallowed the dumpling and couldn't wait to express his thoughts.
"No, I let you eat, just because I've had breakfast and can't eat four." Yuan Zhou shook his head, indicating that he had no such intention.
"Uh..." the young man choked, and then said: "No, in the past, even if people had breakfast, they would eat a few more when they smelled the aroma of my fried dumplings." The young man retorted almost subconsciously. road.
"Then, why is it gone now?" Yuan Zhou nodded and asked directly.
"Why? Yes, why didn't you come?" The young man looked at Yuan Zhou with a puzzled look.
Yuan Zhou was looking at his stall, and the young man also followed Yuan Zhou's gaze.
His fried dumpling stall is not big, with a stove, a large pan, a dough kneading machine, a meat grinder and unused fillings next to it.
At the beginning, his stall only had a large pan and stove. The kneading machine and meat grinder were all added later, after the business improved.
The two were silent for a while, and suddenly the young man seemed to react and bowed to Yuan Zhou to thank him.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan, I understand." After speaking, the young man turned and left.
He already understood that there was something wrong not with his craftsmanship, but with his intentions.
He had just set up a shop before and had little money, so the meat he used was ordinary. Although ordinary, he went to the meat stall before dawn to carefully select it. He only wanted plum meat. If he didn't have it, he would go to the vegetable market. He had to buy it. To plum meat.
Plum blossom meat is the most suitable for making fried dumpling meat fillings, and so is flour. In the past, flour came in ordinary small bags, but every day he would knead the dough and adjust the stuffing vigorously.
But what now?
Speaking of this young man, he is a conscientious person, because as the popularity of Yuanzhou's shop becomes more and more people flow, his business will also become better, so after making more money, the materials he uses are all on the higher level. step.
For example, for pork, I used to buy ordinary plum pork for about 16, and now I buy "grain pig" for about 20. I also use flour well, and the profit has gone down a lot, but I want to make small profits but quick turnover.
Because he made money, all the kneading of dough and stuffing was handed over to the machine, turning it into an assembly line. When buying pork, he no longer just bought plum blossom meat. If he didn't have it, he would just buy a piece. After all, he was using expensive meat now.
Even if the ingredients are better, no one is short of such an ordinary breakfast, and his fried dumplings are no longer competitive.
"You're welcome." Yuan Zhou turned around and returned to the store.
Cooking is so fair, what attitude you use will determine the taste of what you cook.
Good food cannot be fooled.
