Chapter 591 The cannon fodder daughter and her cannon fodder father (31)
After Jiang Hai tasted the soup, he immediately agreed.
He asked Jiang Lai to take the soup to the restaurant and taste it to several other chefs, as well as the director and superiors, and everyone agreed.
From now on, state-owned hotels will serve this bone soup for a long time.
As for pricing, Jiang Hai asked Jiang Lai how much it would cost to cook such a pot of soup.
Jiang Lai leaned into his ear and whispered the number.
“So cheap?!”
A whole big pot costs less than two yuan? !
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, looking proud.
“It would be cheaper if we buy it wholesale.”
"What did you add to this soup! Even your father wants to keep it a secret, right?"
Jiang Lai did not intend to keep the raw materials secret.
"It's not like you can't tell, it's just pork bones, corn and winter melon."
Jiang Hai didn't believe it.
"Okay, it's really ugly to have an old face. The only thing that can't be melted in the soup is the pig bones. The rest that you can't see have been boiled. I also added chicken bones and fish bones."
"Chicken bones and fish bones? How do you put them together to make soup? Will the taste be good!"
Jiang Lai looked indifferent.
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. In short, I just put the pork bones, chicken bones and fish bones in a pot and cook them overnight. When I wake up in the morning, all the fish bones have turned into dregs, and the meat on the chicken bones has also melted. Then The only thing to do is to take out all the bones, leaving only the pork bones inside, and finally add some pepper, salt, winter melon, corn and vegetables.”
Jiang Lai spoke clearly and logically.
Jiang Hai was shocked when he heard this.
"Is this what the old cook told you?"
"Yes, these are the secret recipes of the royal chef that are never passed on to the outside world. In ancient times, they were good things that only emperors could drink. Now I will carry them forward. Of course, I can also say that you taught me and spread the reputation of our Jiang family. Going out will also make it easier for you to recruit disciples in the future.”
Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment.
"Accepting a disciple? Accepting a disciple or something?"
"Now several great chefs have unanimously decided that I can take over your job, so what you have to do now is to be my master, Jiang Lai, stay at home and watch how I make your name known. .
The next thing you have to do is to wait for the apprentice to come to the door on his own, carrying good wine and good meat, kneeling down and kowtow to worship you as his master.
Don't accept everyone, set the threshold higher.
As for the sign, I have already thought about it. It is the founder of Jiang’s Cuisine. You are the first master chef. ”
Jiang Hai listened as if in a dream as his daughter planned out her life for the next few decades.
Stay at home and be a master, and gain fame and fortune easily.
Jiang Hai pinched himself.
It hurts, but I wasn't dreaming.
"What are you talking about in your sleep, girl? If it is so easy to recruit apprentices, then I will have to wait and sleep while collecting money."
Jiang Lai nodded.
"Otherwise? I'm responsible for making a name for myself, and you're responsible for teaching. Combine what you're good at with what I'm good at, and treat this soup as a secret recipe. I'll think of a few more for you. After you practice it, Then he started to recruit apprentices.”
Just like that, Jiang Hai was laid off in a daze.
His former friends happily sent him off. Before leaving, they did not forget to ask Jiang to make a good meal and send him off in a flattering manner.
It was too late to feel sad, so Jiang Lai took out the mulberry wine he brewed.
The sweet taste combined with the fiery aftertaste successfully brought down the whole kitchen and the director who came to join in the fun.
Jiang Hai was so drunk that he woke up to find Jiang Li knocking on his door.
"Dad, don't sleep. Someone is looking for you outside."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know him. He said he came to be a disciple. He had a lot of things in his hands."
Upon hearing this, a few words immediately flashed through Jiang Hai's mind.
Just lying at home and waiting to receive money.
I am responsible for making a name for myself outside and you are responsible for recruiting apprentices.
The founder of Jiang’s Cuisine.
Gain fame and fortune.
Jiang Hai slapped himself and made sure that he was not dreaming, then changed his clothes and went out.
It is true that I came here to learn from my master.
"How did you find this place?"
The young man carried things respectfully in his hands.
"Now it has been widely spread outside that you are the founder of Jiang's Cuisine. Your ancestors served as imperial chefs. Before that, you worked as a chef in a state-owned hotel. In just a few months, you trained your daughter to be his successor. You are well-known. , I admire you very much, and please give me a chance to be your apprentice!”
Jiang Hai felt a little weak in his back when he heard some of the names.
But then I thought about it, and that was right.
Jiang Lai's master is indeed the imperial chef. Isn't her master the master of the Jiang family, so there is nothing wrong with the imperial chef.
Thinking of Jiang Lai's instructions, Jiang Hai calmed down and looked at him with some posture.
"Getting my things back, it's not easy to become my apprentice. I have to investigate first before I can make a decision."
The young man was a little disappointed but not discouraged. On the contrary, he became more enthusiastic.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
After sending this one away, three or four more came throughout the morning.
They all come to learn from their masters.
After Jiang Hai spent an unreal morning, he found that time passed faster than in a hotel.
This feeling of being re-employed after being laid off was really good. Jiang Hai's sadness and depression of being laid off were instantly washed away. He turned around and was busy studying the family recipes that Jiang Lai had given him.
——
The business of the state-owned hotel is getting better and better.
The menu has remained unchanged for several years, but now new dishes are released every now and then. They are not only cheap, large in quantity, but also delicious!
In the past, most of the people who came here to eat were workers from factories or work units, but now there are even more residents from nearby streets.
If you can't afford to eat every meal, then save money every now and then to buy a new dish to try when you go back.
The hotel lobby, which used to be sparse and deserted, is now packed almost every day.
The business is even better than that of the supply and marketing cooperative!
The most popular item is the newly released bone soup, which costs eight cents for a large bowl, and you can even eat a little bit of meat in it.
But everyone doesn’t come here for the meat, they mainly come for the soup.
Although the soup is not cheap, it is not only delicious but also comes with an extra side dish.
The side dish table was placed outside the window, including bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, dried radish, and salted cabbage.
All of them are new side dishes that have not been seen before. The dishes are full, very crispy and appetizing, and delicious with rice.
The rich ones are a bowl of soup and two new dishes.
If you don't have money, just order a bowl of soup, with the bean sprouts and side dishes that come with the soup, and buy two steamed buns, and you will be able to eat well and satisfy your stomach.
Some people will also ask whether the restaurant will lose money if such a delicious soup costs eight cents a bowl and comes with side dishes.
The hotel employees just laughed and said they were losing money and making money.
Serve the people.
This way, everyone feels comfortable and almost everyone is a repeat customer. (End of chapter)
