Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 807 Playing is Real (seeking a monthly ticket)
Chen Nian had attended many weddings before. Although most of his classmates were not married, they had attended many weddings of relatives' brothers and sisters when they were in school.

I have seen a lot of wedding photos, but most of the wedding photos are the same, a red wedding dress, a suit wedding dress, a dress and a casual wear.

And the background is mostly in the studio of the photo studio, back and forth, even if there are some slightly different places, but more of the same.

The location is basically in various popular local attractions.

It looked good at first, but the more you read it, the less interesting it becomes.

In contrast, Chen Nian thinks that it is more interesting to go out and shoot by himself, and he can go wherever he likes, and shoot while traveling.

"Then we can think about where we want to go next."

So the two started discussing again, and after talking on the phone for more than an hour, they reluctantly hung up.

Chen Nian found time to sleep on the table for a while, then got up and continued to work, but a customer came to the store during the staff meal in the afternoon.

The other party was wearing a pair of black round sunglasses, a black ancient robe, and a folding fan in his hand. If it wasn't for the shiny combed hair, those who didn't know would think it was a fortune teller.

And the other party was accompanied by a person, dressed in ordinary clothes, but holding a camera equipped with a stabilizer in his hand.

As soon as I saw the dress and clothes of these two people and the age of the equipment in their hands, I knew that the two of them were probably visiting the shop.

"Mom, let me come."

After Chen Nian said a word, he put down his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth and came to the other side: "Hello, you can choose a place you like when you eat, and I'll get you the menu."

The other party nodded, and then sat down in a corner.

"Hi boss, I'm a food blogger, and I specialize in visiting restaurants. May I ask if you can take pictures here?"

Hearing this, the smile on Chen Nian's face remained unchanged: "Okay, then see what you want to eat."

The man nodded when he heard this, took the menu and opened it for a look: "Boss, is it convenient for you to appear on camera?"

Chen Nian thought for a while: "Okay, you can take whatever you want, but even though you are a blogger, I have to remind you, wait a minute, even if you order food, it is the same as other customers. And the post-editing should not be too publicized."

After Zhang Yu heard this, he suddenly felt a little curious. It was the first time he heard such a request from a store after visiting so many stores: "What is excessive publicity?"

"That is, if you think it's delicious, just say it's delicious. If you don't think it's delicious, just say it's not delicious. If the same dish is better, you can recommend it, but you can't say it's from my place. The food is better than anyone else's.

Also, if you spent more than 100 and ordered four or five dishes, you can just publicize it like this afterwards, because I have also encountered the kind of special store visits before, asking us to be full when serving the dishes, and in the restaurant. In the later publicity, some amount was deliberately understated to make customers feel very affordable. "

What Chen Nian said was indeed something he had encountered before.

"Then let's explore the store and post a video, can you offer a discount or free order?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "That won't work."

"Okay." Zhang Yu nodded: "Actually, when we visit the store, we usually pay normally, and those are just asking, can I order now? When I came in just now, I saw you were eating , if I haven't finished eating, I can wait a bit."

"It's okay, order it, and I'll do it when I order it."

"That's fine, then I'll have a bowl of rice and a mapo tofu."

Before Zhang Yu spoke, the photographer pointed the camera at Chen Nian, as if he wanted to see Chen Nian's expression after hearing this.

But Chen Nian hesitated after hearing the other party's request: "Do you need anything else? A bowl of rice and a dish may not be enough for two people."

"It's okay, if he doesn't eat, I will eat alone." Zhang Yu smiled.

Only then did Chen Nian nod his head: "That's fine, wait a minute."

When he said this, Chen Nian was firm and casual, not at all surprised that he only spent three yuan here alone.

He didn't show any signs of disgust either.

After placing the order, Chen Nian went straight to cooking.

But this time it was Zhang Yu's turn to be surprised, because the name of his account on the website was Poverty Tandian, no matter where he went to eat, he only ordered the cheapest.

Generally speaking, it’s one rice plus one of the cheapest dishes, and when he visits restaurants in many places, the other party will double check if he only orders this one, and some people even directly reveal The color of disgust.

Because the cheapest thing in most restaurants is basically the simplest stir-fried vegetables.

Of course, there are also some places where they don’t say anything, because they always go with a camera, and the boss or the proprietress just smiles after hearing his request and goes to cook.

But only Chen Nian didn't say anything after hearing his request, and didn't even make any unnecessary expressions, and even kept that smile from the beginning to the end.

After seeing Chen Nian returning to the kitchen, Zhang Yu asked the photographer in a low voice: Why didn't the boss show any surprise just now? "

The photographer thought for a while: "It should be that many people have ordered this before?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu shook his head: "I don't think so, I'll ask him later."

Mapo tofu is very easy to make, and it didn't take long before it was ready and served with rice.

Then Zhang Yu saw Lao Gao piled up on the rice that Chen Nian brought out for him.

And Chen Nian also put an empty bowl by the table.

"Boss, this bowl is because I'm afraid I'll choke on it, why don't you let me just pour some water and eat it?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "No, after all, there are two of you, a bowl of rice is definitely not enough, and now it's meal time, you can't do without food, so I specially put some extra rice for you, you two can eat One point."

Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Boss, there's no need for this. We just shoot videos. If you do this, if the guests come and see more rice than theirs, won't you feel unbalanced?"

But when Chen Nian heard this, he laughed: "That's not because you are given special treatment because you bring cameras. Other people will do the same when they come. If a guest has a big appetite and asks for an extra bowl of rice, we can also serve it more." of."

Indeed, for opening a restaurant, rice doesn’t cost much, so there’s no need to buy a piece or two.

Because only selling one mapo tofu is losing money, but restaurants are long-term business, and it is impossible for everyone to order only one mapo tofu in a restaurant.

If other guests order a few more dishes, they can always earn back.

Moreover, opening a restaurant is a long-term business, and it is an eternal truth to abandon the small and pursue the big.

Zhang Yu nodded: "That's good, don't give more just because of us."

"No, don't worry about that."

But Zhang Yu thought about it again: "Boss, why were you not surprised when I ordered so much just now? I saw that there is a lot of meat in your mapo tofu besides tofu. Wouldn't you like me to order so much?" Are you going to lose money?"

"If you lose money, you must lose money, because our restaurant itself is promoting the signature dish Mapo Tofu, which costs [-] yuan, and since it is written in the menu, it is impossible not to let customers order it.

The only restriction is that one table can only order one, and this is clearly stated on the menu, so as long as the customer orders, we have to eat it. If we can’t afford it, why not open a restaurant, right? "

Zhang Yu nodded: "It makes sense, the boss is really big."

However, Chen Nian does not agree with such a statement: "It's not a question of whether the layout is big or not, because there are indeed some customers who are not well-off who come to eat, and it is not easy for anyone to go out. Although the purpose of our store is definitely It’s for making money, and everyone is working hard, but for us, if we can help some people, we will help some people.”

Zhang Yu was a little moved when he heard this: "Boss, I feel a little ashamed when you say that."

"It's okay, there is nothing to be ashamed of, as long as it is on the menu, you can order it, and there are side dishes over there, which are free to eat. If you like it, you can get it yourself and eat whatever you want, as long as you don't waste it."

"Good boss."

Chen Nian left after speaking.

But Zhang Yu looked at the high pile of rice in the bowl, looked at the mapo tofu, and finally divided half of it into another empty bowl with chopsticks: "Eat it, this is from the boss, let's eat it first." How about a taste of mapo tofu.

To be honest, I just saw a fan in my private message recommending this store for me to come and try, and I thought that the mapo tofu for [-] yuan is only a small plate with a few pieces of tofu in it, just like a trial pack Same, but I didn't expect it to be such a full portion. "

"The owner of this store is really good. Don't talk about anything else, just say that the owner of this mapo tofu will definitely not lose money even if he doesn't put meat in it."

"Yes."

While talking, Zhang Yu also tasted Mapo Tofu, and after eating a chopstick, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "This tofu is really good, it's soft and tender, but it doesn't fall apart, which shows that the heat and cooking techniques are just right.

The taste is also very good. Although it is relatively bad, Mapo Tofu should be like this. If you like spicy food, I really recommend you to come to this store to try. I just saw that there are many Sichuan dishes on the menu, but at the same time There are also some other cuisines. I personally feel that even if the boss is best at Sichuan cuisine, he should not be bad at cooking other dishes. "

Zhang Yu said to the camera while eating.

"Viewers who have watched my previous videos will know that I used to be a chef, and I also worked as a chef in a five-star hotel. Although I can't represent everyone's tastes, as a chef, everyone I also have a say in what most people like to eat.

In addition to tofu, this meat is also very fresh. It is probably the beef that was killed the day before. The meat tastes firm and elastic. good smell.

So you don’t have to worry about the materials used for this one-dollar mapo tofu. Just now the boss said that I would definitely lose money if I ordered this one. Now I believe it. If you order other dishes, the boss estimates that you will lose six or seven yuan. "

"Wouldn't the boss lose his pants by selling this way?"

"That's not the case. Catering generally has a gross profit. When I was looking at the menu just now, the prices of other dishes were also very cheap. Compared with some other restaurants, the gross profit of this restaurant is not as high as that of other restaurants." So high, but as long as you sell more, you can always make money.

Usually, customers who come here to eat will definitely not order just one mapo tofu, but they can make money by ordering other dishes. "

It didn't take long for them to finish the plate of mapo tofu. It was just because he only planned to eat it for one person at first, but then an extra photographer came in. Although the rice was enough, the mapo tofu for two people was still a little less , Even if they added some side dishes later, they were still not full in the end.

But they are still shooting videos, so they can only pay first.

It was only three yuan in total. After Zhang Yu scanned the payment code and paid, he also showed the balance to the camera and Chen Nian.

When I finally walked out of the store, the video was considered finished.

But just after they walked out, they turned around and entered the hotel again.

"What's wrong? Did you leave something behind?" Feng Honghong hurriedly asked after seeing the other party coming in again.

Zhang Yu shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that I didn't eat enough when I was shooting the video just now, so I came in to eat some more."

"All right." Feng Honghong nodded.

But she pointed to the store again: "But now you have to wait for a while, the other tables are full, and I guess there are two more tables behind."

"It's okay, let's take a number first."

Then Zhang Yu lined up again to eat a meal, this time he didn't just order cheap dishes, but ate a serious meal.

After Zhang Yu went back in the evening, he asked the photographer to cut the video overnight because he wanted to send it out earlier.

Although there are still many videos waiting to be released in his material library, the playback volume on his account has been somewhat sluggish recently, and he feels that this material should attract more viewers than other materials.

So in the early morning of that night, he sent this video out.

By the next morning, the video had reached 30 views.

This made Zhang Yu a little overjoyed.

In the past, his videos had only 24 views in 30 hours. Unexpectedly, this one reached this number overnight and became popular.

After seeing this, he couldn't wait to open the comment section.

Beauty and the Beast: "I have been to this store, the taste is really good! I strongly recommend everyone to eat!"

Lonely and cold: "The anchor, I am a student and I go to school in Chengdu. Can you invite me here for dinner? It's best to include my travel expenses as well. I don't want to spend money, because my money is still useful."

Spicy Stinky Pot: "Anchor, do you dare to buy two steamed buns, and go to Honghong Restaurant again, this time instead of ordering rice, just order a mapo tofu, and then eat it with the steamed buns you bought?"

After seeing this comment, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up.

Immediately asked the photographer to open the lens to point at him, adjusted the lights and started shooting.

First, after talking about what he made yesterday, he started to read the comments again. After reading the comments of Mala Chouguo, he put down his phone.

"Go ahead! What I play is the truth!"
