Chapter 42 New Ways to Set Up Stalls Preview

Xia An has been trying hard to recreate "Kaihua Guoba" these days, and the business goals displayed on the panel every day have hardly changed.

They all wanted him to set up a stall to sell dishes from ancient recipes, such as fresh mountain bream with frozen sauce.

However, Xia An had just successfully recreated Kaihua Guoba for the first time last night, but his business objectives immediately changed this morning.

I can only say that it’s better to survive by panel.

The fast-paced way of spending money on piling up fantasy ingredients to trigger ten times the cooking reward has been blocked so quickly?
Xia An frowned.

The fresh bream on ice is a kind of fresh vegetable, and it is the type of dish that is easiest to combine with fantasy ingredients.

But Kaihua rice crackers are completely different.

Heat and seasoning are the main themes of this dish.

Want to take shortcuts by relying on [Perfect] knife skills and the unique skill of Arhat Crystal Chopping? It won't work at all!

Xia An let out a long sigh.

"What are you thinking about?"

"You dare to think about fusing fantasy ingredients when the completion/reproduction degree is only 35%?"

He was alert and reminded himself not to drift.

Even the Fierce Ice Tai Mountain, which is the easiest to combine with fantasy ingredients, is only 60% complete/reproducible.

Put it on "Kaihua Guoba".

Without an 80% completion/reproducibility level, there shouldn't be even the slightest thought of combining fantasy ingredients.

After Xia An calmed down.

Decided to set up the stall as normal tonight!
Just plain work and simply triggering the double cooking experience feedback has been his daily routine for the past six months.

What is this 10x super rebate? I’ve only experienced it once.

It's an unexpected surprise.

If you only focus on the 10x feedback mechanism, aren't you giving up on your daily income?
Dudu!

Suddenly, a chat message from Lu Jiaxin popped up on WeChat on the phone.

Lu Jiaxin: "Boss Xia, I took a picture of you making Kaihua Guoba last night. Can you post it in the customer exchange group?"

Lu Jiaxin: “【picture.jpg】”

Xia An clicked on the picture.

The focus of the camera was an alloy rack, and the young man and the girl were smoothly operating a set of strange kitchen utensils.

The portable and mobile high-fire stove, with blazing flames, roasted the large iron ball in the air.

Xia An: "You can post it. It's a preview of my new products."

Lu Jiaxin: "So Boss Xia will open a stall soon?"

Xia An: "Not in the near future, but tonight."

Lu Jiaxin: “Tonight?!”

Lu Jiaxin: "(Overjoyed) Great~ Boss Xia, can you tell me the location? I want to be a follow-up reporter!"

Xia An: "You are quite smart. You know I won't go to the Qixing District Night Market again?"

Lu Jiaxin: "(laughing) Boss Xia, do you know how huge the flow of people at the Qixing District Night Market has been in the past few days? It's comparable to the May Day Golden Week. No, it's probably even more terrible than the Golden Week!"

Then, Lu Jiaxin sent a funny picture from the foodie chat group.

The night market street is crowded with people.

I don't know which group member added the funny text:
Boss Xia, don't go out. The streets are full of junglers who are openly ganking!

Witness this sand sculpture picture.

Xia An felt a chill on the back of his head. He described the diners who were waiting there as wild hunters. He could already feel the malice of the world.

Xia An: "Thank you, I'm already sweating.jpg!"

Lu Jiaxin: "Seriously, Boss Xia, are you going to open a personal account on Douyin? I guarantee that after you open a stall selling Kaihua Guoba at the night market, the number of fans of this account will easily exceed one million overnight, and you will receive a lot of commercial advertisements."

Xia An: "I have no intention of opening a Douyin account, and I don't have time to manage it."

The liver paleo diet alone is exhausting enough.

There are also stalls. Even though night market stalls are only open in the evening, many stall owners are so busy during the day that they have to spend the whole day preparing.

Besides, Xia An had to take care of her daughter this summer. After confirming that he was reliable, Lan Qingya got rid of her daughter as if she had gotten rid of a troublemaker, and she didn't even mention taking her daughter away.

Lu Jiaxin: "Boss Xia, do you think I'm reliable?"

When Xia An saw her message, he knew what the girl was thinking.

However, he was also happy to have a helper.

The popularity of Douyin is a huge fortune, and he can choose not to accept it, but the problem is that if the real owner does not show up, he will be giving away traffic for free to all kinds of monsters and letting others get the popularity for free.

He couldn't divide his attention, but he could let Lu Jiaxin manage the Douyin account.

As for the subsequent operations such as forming a behind-the-scenes team and taking business orders, Xia An would not care. He would just get the dividends he deserved. Xia An: "As soon as you stick out your butt, I know what you are planning. I will give you one day to draft a cooperation framework and agreement. We will meet at the Zun Shen Temple Night Market in the evening."

Lu Jiaxin: “That’s great!”

……

After hanging up the phone, Xia An began to prepare the ingredients for tonight's stall.

In terms of ingredients, first of all, you need to prepare a lot of rice, at least enough for a hundred rice balls.

After all, goal ② is to entertain no less than one hundred diners.

The second is beef, preferably marbled beef.

"Frost" is actually fat deposited between meat fibers, forming a red and white pattern.

Lots of beef too!

In the dish preparation process, beef plays a crucial role. It must cover the inner wall of the rice crust ball and act as a lining to prevent side leakage and bursting.

At last.

These are the ingredients for making the "filling" of the rice balls:

Fresh shrimp, fresh squid.

Bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, snow peas and baby corn.

All of these ingredients can be purchased online in the fresh food mall of the [Late Night Cooking] APP.

When ordering beef, Xia An suddenly had an idea and changed the arrangement to sort by price from high to low.

So, on the product page, beef, which ranks first in price, is displayed:

[Matsusaka beef, A5 grade (marbled beef), produced in Mie Prefecture, Japan, the most expensive beef below the bronze fantasy ingredients, too fatty, so the cooking method must be very particular. ]

[Recommended cooking occasions: food competitions, high-end restaurants, etc.]

[Price: 500g/ yuan]

Xia An couldn't help but slam his hands excitedly: "Fuck, from this point of view, it's easy to make a loss of 10 times the basic amount by selling Kaihua Guoba tonight, isn't it?"

He carefully read the text "The operating loss amount for the day exceeded 1,000 yuan" on panel target ①.

So, the basic limit is one thousand yuan?

A tenfold loss would be ten thousand yuan!

If you buy 10 pounds of the best Matsusaka beef, wouldn’t you immediately meet the standard?
"Ten pounds of beef needs to make at least 10 rice balls. If you divide them evenly, each rice ball is only 100 grams."

"50 grams of beef is just a small amount, how can it be enough to cover the inner wall of the rice ball?"

To be on the safe side, Xia An found a cast iron ball, opened it and split it into two semicircular pots. He also took out a box of beef from the refrigerator, sliced ​​it, and pasted the slices on the inner walls of the two pots.

Afterwards, weigh the beef slices on an electronic scale and you will have an idea.

"Each rice ball uses about 200 grams of beef."

That means preparing 40 kilograms of the best quality Matsusaka beef. The cost of the beef alone is as much as yuan!
Hold the grass!

After calculating, Xia An suddenly wiped away the cold sweat:
"That's not how you do charity. This time the panel's goal is to lose ten times, and the amount is only 10,000 yuan, but I'm heading for a loss of 100,000 yuan?"

"I'm not fucking rich enough to think of money as a numbers game!"

So Xia An settled for the next best thing.

Instead of Matsusaka beef, we chose the cost-effective domestic Jiali yak beef.

This is the king of plateau yaks. It only costs a little over 40 yuan to buy kilograms of the most tender and fatty "frost-covered beef".

When the transport truck of the Late Night Cooking Association delivered the ingredients, Xia An and Hojo Miyoko, the master and apprentice, worked separately to pick out the shrimp threads and kill the squids.

After preparing the ingredients, when Xia An personally prepared and boiled the soup, time had quietly come to the afternoon.

In another two or three hours, night will fall.

……

at the same time.

There is a lively scene in Boss Xia’s diners communication group.

[Although I have to @ you at this time every day, and there is no news, I still want to @ Mr. Xia once today! Just a quick question, are we going to open a stall today? ]

[Don't think about it. The situation has been very tense recently. Boss Xia obviously wants to hide to avoid being ganked by crazy diners! ]

[Fuck, Boss Xia, are you sure you don’t want to accept this wave of wealth? ]

[You are so stupid. If you were not afraid of the overwhelming wealth and fame, you would definitely go to the Qixing District night market to set up a stall the next day after that night.]

[Xia An: I'll set up a stall today, and do some acrobatics for the brothers! ]

[I still say that - we are all old customers, see you at 8 o'clock in the evening, we won't let you down!!]
