Chapter 379 Miscellaneous
Xueying rode all the way from the north of the city and quickly returned to Gu's house.
Now every time she goes out to do things, she tries to save time. She doesn't say anything more if she finishes her sentence. Her little lady is not safe everywhere, just say that the person she just cleans up was very hostile a long time ago. This time, the murderous aura on his body is even more shocking.
It took almost half an hour before Xueying returned to Gu Xiang, staring at the front door and back door of the house wall with a bright look, and checking the eaves and ground inch by inch, especially the eaves that Brother Yun once stepped on. Xueying wished she could lift up the entire roof and install them again.
Gu Xiang sat in the pavilion, drawing the menu list on the paper. When he saw Xueying's gaze, he was helpless and asked quickly: "Snowying, how about it? Do you have any other requirements for the snake raising people?"
Xueying smiled: "He is very happy, very enthusiastic, and hopes to always supply us with meat snakes."
Gu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
(The snake-raising lotus leaves: "...hehe.")
Gu Xiang wanted to make some popularity with the reputation of snake wine. Now that she has a stable supply of meat snakes, she feels at ease. No matter how Xueying tossses, she lowers her head and continues to study her recipes.
Now the book she spread out in front of her records the popular food she wanted to make.
The so-called mass delicacies naturally need to be delicious and cheap, and they are simple and easy to make, or make a lot of them in one breath, or only prepare recipes and seasonings. Other steps can be completed by her chefs.
She has always put a lot of energy into this area. The first thing she decided was Gu Xiang's cooked fish that had been cooked. When the pickled fish first entered the capital, she sold it with other sauces and pickled vegetables, and it sold quite well.
People in the capital love to eat fish. Basically, any family with some wealth has to eat some fish and shrimp every day. Even if the family is not well-off, they have to eat it several times every few times.
The ingredients are also of many sources and quality. Laogou and his team went to the vegetable market every morning and picked up a bunch of small fish that Gu Xiang recognized.
However, Gu Xiang carefully adjusted the ingredients for pickling fish several times: "Well, it's better to be cheaper."
The taste of the people in the capital is relatively light. The pickled fish must be salty and fragrant enough, and it must be abundant in fish oil. It must not be too salty and economical, so the ingredients used should not be too expensive.
If it is not expensive, it is better to use the spices repeatedly and the price of oil is also good. Gu Xiang and others will squeeze the oil themselves. Since it is the cost price, it can naturally be very low. In terms of sugar, Gu Xiang still needs to carefully consider the ingredients used.
The dishes she cooks nowadays basically use sugar to improve freshness and flavor, which is very costly. Although she has saved a lot of them in the system space and is cheap to buy from the mall, it is still not easy to make this sugar in her farm workshop, and the price cannot be too low.
Gu Xiang spent more energy on price suppression than studying taste.
Xie Bin came over for several days and saw Gu Xiang whispering how to reduce the cost when he came over for several days. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
The education that Mr. Xie received from childhood to adulthood has never been this.
They are famous chefs. They go into the kitchen to make a move from the age of three and have to hold a knife at the age of five. Only those who are the most talented and hardest can truly learn their unique skills. His elders have taught him since childhood, and he doesn't have to pay attention to anything. As long as he improves his cooking skills, he will be fine.
Xie Bin has always known that his craft is very expensive and he is indeed worth it.
For cooks like them, they cannot use any bad ingredients. No matter how expensive the ingredients are, they will not think it is expensive. Those who could have eaten the dishes they made by themselves will not think that a dish is expensive.
Xie Bin couldn't understand how to balance the taste and price, and even though he didn't understand how Gu Chu didn't worry about how to make top-notch food and conquered the long-standing chefs in Beijing, so that they could truly gain a foothold in Beijing. They were constantly running snack business every day, and they didn't even give up those buns and cooked cakes with the least technical content. They were really... sick!
After his uncle received the title of Jin Chu, he stayed in his kitchen and studied the dishes carefully without showing up for three months. He made a splash. Now that so long has passed, famous chefs in the capital are still amazed when they mention their uncle's "leaping the dragon gate".
Gu Xiang: "..."
If her system does not give her delicious food, she also hopes to be a chef who only focuses on high-end ingredients and only serves high-end dishes. She probably won't care too much about how many people can afford the dishes she cooks.
In her impression, the top chefs in the hotel also have a leisurely posture and elegant temperament. Anyway, they are not the image of her hard work now.
"Why!"
In addition to pickled fish, mushroom sauce is also economical and easy to make. It has also been sold. It is a mature product and has always been very popular.
Gu Xiang first made a long list, then deleted and reduced it. Finally, he deleted the buns and wontons and replaced them with hand-grabbed cakes and thousand-layer cakes. She could make a bunch of cakes in one breath. Diners could take the embryos back directly, so naturally they didn't even need to add oil. Just bake them in the pot and you can eat the delicious hand-grabbed cakes with unique flavor.
As long as the chefs at home pay a little attention to the heat, they can also restore the original taste with the cake she prepared.
The master and servants were busy for several days. Once Gu Xiang's popular dishes were launched, they were indeed very popular.
When Zhang Qiaoan ate the oily and fragrant hand-held pancakes, he would have forgotten the horror of "Gu Ji". He did not rack his brains to persuade his relatives and friends to eat Gu Ji's dishes, so he would buy them outside, so he would never come in.
However, the sales volume of these economical and affordable mass delicacies for several days is not as good as Gu Xiang's snake banquet.
Gu Xiang couldn't believe it at first.
Snake meat is a serious niche delicacy, and she thought she didn't dare to eat it.
This was indeed the case at the beginning. Even if the snake meat is delicious, only a few gourmets will come to taste and enjoy it. But who made the God suddenly blow a gust of demonic wind, blowing Gu Xiang's snake wine into the sky?
Since I gave a jar of snake wine to Lin Feng, by chance, surging waves have been set off in the capital.
Xie Shang’s fine wine alone has become a fresh gossip on the streets and alleys, circulating everywhere, and there is a follow-up to this matter.
Xie Shang lost the wine and was so angry that he even offered a reward of 500 taels of silver to steal the wine thief.
The people in the noble family in the capital were immediately shocked, and the Xie family was also scared. The elders of the Xie family were so scared that they emerged from all corners and corners to scold him.
If it were an ordinary thief, no one would care about 500 taels, but this thief was that thief.
Judging from the appearance of a wealthy family, who dares to provoke them?
Last year, there were rich families who did not believe in evil and offered rewards. In the end, within half a month, they were in disgrace and honestly removed the rewards.
