Chapter 324: The Sixth Taste

When Nan Ming walked into Rare Wonton, Tie Dan hurriedly stood up and called out "Old..." Then he covered his mouth suddenly, glanced behind Nan Ming, and didn't see Nan Ma, this is complete: " Boss, why are you here? Where are your uncles and aunts?"

"I'm watching TV at home." Nan Ming sat down, looked at the people on the left and right, and asked, "How's the situation?"

In addition to Tie Dan, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Peng, and Jiang Chaohua were also there. This was a gathering of several giants of the lazy life department. Obviously, they were all discussing countermeasures.

"Today, our order volume has dropped by 20%." Tiedan sighed, "And, today I have two employees who were poached by them, one is my best food delivery worker, a very hardworking boy, and the other It was the housekeeper who I reprimanded before, and Li Chenggong raised their wages by 20%."

Nan Ming frowned slightly, and said, "Can you still increase your salary?"

"The salary is already the highest in the industry. Our salary has never been low. If it is increased, it will be a premium." Tiedan said, "If it is increased, our operating costs will be too high."

"Well...then add some incentives, monthly best employee rewards, or performance rewards, it's up to you. If this can't keep people, then we can only say that our lazy gods have nothing to do with them Already." Nan Ming said.

As a pioneer in this market and a person who intends to make a difference in this market, Tiedan cannot raise wages at will, because that will only lead to chaos in this market. And Li Chenggong is just a spoiler and predator. He doesn't respect the practitioners in this market, and he doesn't care about his reputation in this market. Now he can promise a high salary, and he can also lower his salary in the future, but Lazy gods can't do this.

This is where the lazy god is passive.

Faced with a shameless enemy, you can't be shameless. This is also a difficult place to deal with. In fact, the domestic Internet industry has the most shameless enemies.

"I can still hold on to the personnel side." Tie Dan gritted his teeth, "But it's very troublesome if the order is robbed."

"It just so happens that I just placed an order with Li Chenggong." Nan Ming shook his phone, and he also installed Slow Life on his phone, "I guess it will arrive soon."

Tiedan is a little puzzled, how can a boss not support himself, but support others?

"Now Li Chenggong's slow life and our lazy life are both opening up the situation by ordering food, and each has a competitive product. Li Chenggong's is Chenggong Fried Rice and his Gongxiang series, and we are rare wontons. Regardless of who is superior or inferior, we are at a disadvantage in terms of quantity." Nan Ming frowned and said, "It is difficult for a rare wonton to compete with his Gongxiang series."

Jiang Chaohua opened his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say it, because he knew what Nan Ming said was right.

"So, we need to know the strength of their Gongxiang series before we can make a fuss about the Gongxiang series." Nan Ming said, this statement is so reasonable that no one can refute it.

While talking, a young man opened the door and walked in. He looked around hesitantly, and said, "Who ordered the meal just now? Ah, the boss..."

Tie Dan's complexion was a little ugly. This person was the food delivery worker who was poached.

"I've decided, come here, please send it here." Nan Ming ordered the table in front of him, and the food delivery worker delivered the food, and then ran away.

Tie Dan stared at his back, quite sad.

"Let's try it out and see what Li Chenggong's real skills are." Nan Ming said.

He bought some fried rice, and bought one of each of the so-called Gong Xiang's dishes. He first tasted some shredded pork, and said in surprise, "Hey, it's not bad!"

The shredded pork can only be regarded as mediocre from the mouth to the heat, but this so-called Gongxiang is really amazing, and it looks extraordinarily fragrant and tender after entering the mouth.

Nan Ming ate countless delicacies, so he was well-informed, and there were really few foods that caught his attention. This Gong Xiang surprised him, which was not easy in itself.

Jiang Chaohua also took a sip, and muttered unwillingly: "My rare wonton is much tastier than this!"

His bowl of wonton once carried the living expenses of the whole family. It can be said to be a delicacy made wholeheartedly. Afterwards, it has been optimized many times. The taste can be said to have reached the extreme. fried rice?

Nanming admits this, whether it is the taste, ingredients, or other aspects, Rare Wonton has indeed optimized wonton to the extreme, but the so-called Gongxiang mainly lies in a novelty, and besides fried rice, this so-called Gongxiang , and can cook a lot of meals.

I think this so-called "Gongxiang" should be related to Li Chenggong's intellectual authority.

Nan Ming ate a few more mouthfuls, felt it carefully, the first mouthful was particularly amazing, but after eating again, it would not be as amazing as the first time, and after eating too much, it even made people feel a little disgusted.

Of course, this kind of disgust is only for picky people like Nanming. If ordinary people eat it, they will never get tired of eating it eight times out of ten.

Nan Ming frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "This is...Oleogustus?" Nan Ming said a Latin word.

As soon as the word came out, everyone was a little confused, only Mr. Peng nodded and said, "That's right, it's Oleogustus."

"What are you talking about?" Everyone, including Tie Dan, was at a loss.

"It's a new kind of taste." Nan Ming said, "For a long time, there are only five tastes we know, of which there are four tastes, sour, sweet, bitter, and salty. In 1908, Japanese scientists invented monosodium glutamate, which allowed us to separate The fifth taste is umami. All other tastes are a mixture of the five. Of course, spicy is a burning sensation, not a taste, and similarly, numbness is not a taste."

"However, I recently discovered a sixth sense of taste." Peng Lao said, "It is Oleogustus, which is Latin. There is no suitable translation yet. It can be understood as the taste of fat and oil. We usually talk about fat and tender, which is this kind of taste. Taste is at work. We know umami comes from proteins and amino acids, and this Oleogustus, let’s call it greasy, comes from the unesterified fatty acids in the fat.”

"To put it simply, it is a fatty acid in fat, and this fatty acid usually means that the food has started to rot." Nan Ming said.

"Corrupted? If it's corrupted, why would anyone want to eat it?" Tie Dan stared.

"It's like stinky tofu, although it's stinky, it's still delicious." Nan Ming smiled, "The smell of fat is actually a negative taste, like bitterness, but if you control this negative taste to an appropriate The amount will make people feel very pleasant. And this kind of taste can make people feel more layers of taste. If you make more adjustments in cooking, you can make it bitter before sweet, first smelly and then sweet The contrast of aroma enhances the taste even more.”

"So that's how it is." Tie Dan was dumbfounded, the sense of taste is really complicated! (To be continued.)
