The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 150 Arrangement ([-])

During the following days in Fucheng, Zhao Yunlan stayed in the restaurant every day.To draw up the menu and set the price, we must continue to examine the attitude of the handymen.

Zhao Yunlan discussed the menu with Li Mingyi for a long time, because at first the family affirmed Zhao Yunlan's cooking, and everyone talked about putting all those dishes in the restaurant, which made Zhao Yunlan almost My son went astray on the dishes.This restaurant focuses on hot pot, so there is no need to prepare too many menus. If the menu is too complicated, it will be self-defeating.

So Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingyi decided that besides the hot pot, other dishes should be used as side dishes of the hot pot.Hot dishes are steamed dishes, a steamed meat can replace steamed pork ribs.Some cold dishes are mainly braised pork ears, braised chicken feet and chicken wings, and desserts. Zhao Yunlan doesn't know how to make those cakes, so she uses her own canned fruit as desserts.Of course, Li Ji's hot and sour noodles are also arranged together. Since it is to create Li Ji's signature, the food sold must be related.

As for the hot pot soup base, Zhao Yunlan plans to make an old chicken mushroom soup, sour radish and old duck soup, then a lamb bone soup, and finally add a hot pepper hot pot.The pot that Zhao Yunlan ordered before has not only a separate pot, but also a mandarin duck pot, so that it can be combined and matched with hot pot soup base.

As for the side dishes used for hot pot, meat dishes, beef, hairy tripe, and thousand-layer tripe, you don’t have to think about it.It’s just mutton, lamb tripe. Zhao Yunlan thinks of what she likes to eat. There must be no shrimp here. Since coming here, Zhao Yunlan has never seen shrimp, so she changed it to fish balls.The smooth and tender fish meat picks out the spines, chops and adds some sweet potato powder to increase the stickiness and make the fish balls more tender.

This sweet potato powder was re-made by Zhao Yunlan later. It is finer than the vermicelli powder. It has been sieved over and over again, leaving the finest part. It can be used to marinate meat when frying meat, and it tastes better. Tender.

There are also spicy pork slices, which can be used as a signature of hot pot. After all, they are marinated with pepper, other seasonings and potato flour.For other dishes such as chicken gizzards or duck intestines, these dishes can be introduced slowly, for fear that everyone will not be able to accept them all at once.

To prepare vegetarian dishes, prepare some radishes, cabbage, or some mountain products, fungus, bamboo shoots, or fresh wild vegetables in season.

Li Mingyi looked at the dishes that were finally ordered, but he didn't pay much attention to how many of these dishes were prepared. He just lamented that sister-in-law's handwriting is getting more and more beautiful now. If she didn't say that sister-in-law was born as a peasant woman, she couldn't believe it just by looking at the words.

Seeing that Li Mingyi was stunned, Zhao Yunlan tapped on the table lightly: "Second brother, what are you thinking? If there is anything wrong, we should tell you earlier, we can still make changes."

Li Mingyi came back to his senses, and only said: "Will it take too much time to transport all these things home, these meats can still be transported alive to transport those sheep and chickens, but the vegetables will not look fresh when they are transported. .”

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I've thought about this issue too, so the vegetarian dishes are mainly transported for storage. If you want fresh wild vegetables, you can buy them in the villages around this prefecture. But I would like to buy a piece of land in this prefecture. Otherwise, there will be a lot of expenses on the way every time it is transported."

Li Mingyi: "Well, it's really necessary. I'll ask about this place and see if I can buy it."

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "There is no rush here, let's do the work at hand first. Let's see how this restaurant will look like when it is in operation."

Li Mingyi understood that there was no rush to arrive, but he just took the matter of buying the land to heart.

Zhao Yunlan: "There is also our pricing. We sell dishes a la carte, and we have to clearly state the price of each dish, mainly the price of these meat dishes. The price of this meat dish ranges from twenty yuan to For example, if it is spicy pork slices, which is our main signature, with our special pepper flavor, we can set a little more expensive."

Li Mingyi listened to what Zhao Yunlan said and wrote it down in his notes.

Zhao Yunlan went on to say: "Also, you must order the soup base before eating hot pot. Our soup base is really made of meat and big bones, so the price of this soup base should be clearly marked. As for those vegetarian dishes, radish and cabbage It’s not worth much at all, so let’s set it between two and eight. If it’s a fresh mountain product, and it’s in season, it can be priced a little more expensive.”

Li Mingyi stopped writing, thinking about some snacks: "The steamed meat and steamed ribs are priced at [-] yuan, and a portion of braised meat is priced at [-] yuan. Canned fruits should be priced at the price in the town?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded in agreement.Thinking that going to Qingchunlou to eat a signature dish cost six taels of silver, Zhao Yunlan felt that the price of this dish at her family was considered relatives.It's just the price of this wine, hey~ the wine has not been found yet, so I have to wait a while, or go directly to the winery to order the wine, but that is not easy to build my own brand after all.

"Let them familiarize themselves with the process during this period, and then slowly send people back to Lijiacun to bring things over. When we open, we will also do some reward activities to see the situation." Zhao Yunlan suggested.

Li Mingyi immediately understood that it was the same when he opened the hot and sour noodle shop before, and the price was cheaper three days before the opening.Li Mingyi then asked: "Then how do we set this price?"

Zhao Yunlan: "We won't change the price, we will directly waive some money. For example, if we spent three or two taels of silver at our place that day, we can waive five hundred cash and give a delicious snack as a gift."

Li Mingyi: "Five hundred Wen? Is this too much?"

Zhao Yunlan: "This is just an example. For the specific situation, you and my younger sister will calculate the price together before negotiating."

Li Mingmei has been helping Zhao Yunlan remember all the expenses before the opening. Although Li Mingmei has not learned the rules and etiquette from Cui Nanny during this period, Li Mingmei has become busier instead.

"The things in the restaurant are about the same. Are the chess pieces that Master Zhang played before ready?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Li Mingyi: "Well, it's done. I moved upstairs, and asked Master Zhang to make some chess boxes, which are samples drawn by Yimei." A room next to the window was specially set up upstairs as a study, It can be used as a room for reception and discussion. In the past few days, Xiaobao followed him to study in that study.

Zhao Yunlan: "At that time, there will be a table in the middle, and we will find two people at home to play chess." In fact, Zhao Yunlan just wanted to hold a backgammon exhibition match, and he could sell the backgammon at that time.

Li Mingyi: "Okay, I think Zhizhi and Yuncheng can be played together. They are scholars. Playing chess here will definitely help us attract many scholars. In this case, the chess we put here can be done. It’s better to put it here, and the guests can come to a game when they are interested in eating.”

Zhao Yunlan's eyes lit up, now Li Mingyi is getting better and better!
"Well, second brother, I will leave this matter to you. Hurry up about their training. I will go to Jingshan Temple in the future to count the days and see when is the right time to open. You will take care of the restaurant here."

Li Mingyi: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, everything is up to me. Also, my mother said before that the deed of this restaurant should be changed to your name, and it will be done tomorrow."

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Yes."
