Chapter 945: Who persuaded whom?

"What I want is a signature dish, not a home-cooked stir-fry that can be made at home."

Except for a few signboards, which are somewhat difficult and require some cooking skills, the main business of Er Canteen is home-cooked food.

That's why we need to have a few signature dishes to attract customers.

"Okay, the signature is the signature. None of the dishes I cook are the signature."

"Then what are you going to cook?" Yao Guofa continued to ask.

"Let's talk about it when we get to the vegetable market. We'll buy whatever we have and sell whatever we buy. But I won't make fat sausages anymore. I won't make fat sausages for whoever wants to make them."

"You won't sell it if you say it won't be sold. What will happen if the customer orders it?"

"Then why don't you cook it for the guests? It doesn't matter if you sit in the office all day long, so it doesn't matter if you take the time to cook a few dishes?"

"If I can do anything, I still need you!"

Although Yao Guofa is Liu Hongchang's senior brother, he is still much older than Liu Hongchang.

But in terms of cooking skills, Yao Guofa is far inferior to Liu Hongchang, otherwise he would not be able to handle Liu Hongchang.

Cooking skills are not just about experience, but also about talent.

"Then just listen to me. You have the final say on how much a plate of vegetables sells, and I, the cook, have the final say on what vegetables to sell." Not ready to continue inking with Yao Guofa, Liu Hongchang greeted him: "Liu Zi , let’s go shopping together.”

The procurement of the second canteen is also equipped with one manpower and three vehicles.

When something happened, the disciple obeyed him and asked Liu Hongchang to ride on the bicycle. Liu Hongchang got on and the two of them went straight to the vegetable market.

In general, there is some profit in the purchase of the unit, but Liu Hongchang has not found any benefits in the purchase of the Second Canteen.

There is definitely no benefit in purchasing goods from state-owned vegetable stalls and meat stalls with clearly marked prices.

If you meet some private vendors and farmers who go to the city to sell their agricultural products, the food will be cheaper.

But if you buy it this way, you don’t have a receipt and it’s hard to pay for it.

Yao Guofa did not give Liu Hongchang the right to purchase at will.

"Master, you really don't want to buy fat sausages or make fat sausages?"

After buying the meat, Liu Zi pulled Liu Hongchang to look at the large intestine.

"How much does this sausage cost per pound?" Liu Hongchang asked.

"Twenty-seven cents," the salesperson replied.

"Twenty-seven cents, then we don't want it."

The reason has been found. The fat sausage can become the signature of Ershitang. On the one hand, it is delicious. On the other hand, it is cheap. It can also be regarded as a major advantage.

Nowadays, pork is only [-] to [-] cents per pound, and fat meat is more popular.

These things, which are launched into the water, require heavy materials and are sold very cheaply.

The large intestine is already considered a relatively expensive item in the market.

"How to sell pork liver, pig head, pig trotters, and pork loin?" Liu Hongchang continued to ask.

"These are cheap, the guts are only [-] cents, and the heads are [-] cents."

"Except for the large intestine, I'll take a few of the other things."

Since the canteen has taken the cheap and affordable route, Liu Hongchang is not prepared to change.

Finish purchasing the meat and vegetables that should be purchased normally.Then they purchased some more spices, and the master and apprentice rode the tricycle back to the canteen.

Spices are still a little more expensive in this era, and these are the most expensive among dishes.

In this era, food in restaurant cafeterias is more delicious than food at home, and the abundance of spices is also a big factor.

Compared with ordinary households, there is only oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and at most one MSG.

The canteen is ahead in more than one version.

It's just that the current spices do not have ready-made synthetic products, and the chef has to prepare them himself.

Blending secret recipes of various seasonings can also be said to be the specialty of each cook.

"Liuzi, master will give you a test to test your basic skills. Can you clean up these things?"

The things I bought were all raw, and the internal organs were easy to tell.

Pig heads, trotters, and tails need to be haired, which is a little more troublesome.

Liu Hongchang left it to Liu Zi to do it. If he really wants to sell it for a long time in the future, he can talk about it and leave it to the kitchen assistant in the canteen.

"Don't worry, master, I will take care of these things."

"Okay, finish these tasks, and the master will let you cook on the stove at noon."

If you want to be lazy, it is also important to train your disciples early.

Liu Zi is a child with good character. He is very devoted to Liu Hongchang and protects Liu Hongchang in everything.

There is no need to worry about being a disciple of some kind of church or a rebellious disciple who starved to death of the master after being trained.

Liu Zi was dealing with various kinds of waste, and Liu Hongchang went to find the spices he bought and the original seasonings in the canteen and mix them with the ingredients.

Liu Hongchang is preparing to make braised food, which is the same as before. This canteen has this tradition.

It’s just that the original canteen mainly served braised large intestines, but now Liu Hongchang has switched to other categories.

If a customer orders it, cut it, at most simply mix it, process it, and then serve it directly, which is an absolute saver.

Every once in a while, you can also change the pattern, such as cows in the water, sheep in the water, chickens, ducks, etc.

Eating food without getting tired of it and cooking it with fine details are not what ordinary people pursue in this era.

The canteen life Liu Hongchang planned for himself was to cook a pot of braised food every day and spend the rest of the time fishing.

"Big Liu, what are you doing? It smells so good."

The braised food is still very fragrant when it is made. After the smell wafts out, it attracts people.

"Skinny monkey, do you want to try the braised food?"

The person talking to Liu Hongchang was another chef in the cafeteria.

The thin monkey Suhou is two years older than Liu Hongchang, so he should be considered a young man based on his age.

But from the nickname "Skinny Monkey", you can know that the person is relatively thin and belongs to the "weak" one in the cafeteria.

Liu Hongchang plus Shouhou, plus an old Master Qin who is in his 50s and almost [-] years old and is about to retire.

They are the only three spoon chefs in the second cafeteria.

Master Qin is a thin, dry old man who has entered a state of retirement in advance and cannot bear many things.

So when it comes to cooking in the canteen, Liu Hongchang and Shouhou are basically the only ones left.

"I'll try it."

"Taste it, feel free to taste it."

As he spoke, Liu Hongchang took a piece of meat from the pot, cut half a plate, and gave it to the thin monkey.

When the cook was testing the dishes, he ate normally. Yao Guofa saw it and couldn't say anything.

Liu Hongchang has a good relationship with Shouhou, which is Liu Hongchang's unilateral opinion.

In fact, Liu Hongchang used to like bullying Shouhou.

Liu Hongchang was so arrogant towards Shouhou this time because he bullied others too harshly before.

Now I want to improve my relationship with colleagues and create a harmonious working and fishing environment.If the bullying was just a fight between colleagues, it would be fine as a joke, but Liu Hongchang also robbed people and money.

Destroying someone's wealth, such as killing one's parents, is not a small grudge.

In order to fill the gap in marriage, I saved money to buy leather shoes for He Wenhui.

Liu Hongchang forced Shouhou to steal many private jobs that Shouhou had already arranged to do for others.

Shouhou did nothing and was bullied by Liu Hongchang for no reason. It was quite unfair.

After bullying someone, it is also appropriate to show a friendly attitude.

"Da Lao Liu, you can do it. Not only do you make large intestines well, but you also make other braised foods even better."

Shouhou praised that Liu Hongchang had to work hard to become a signboard, and he also showed an advanced level.

"If you like to eat, eat more."

"Liu Hongchang, you won't have any ideas for me again, will you?"

Liu Hongchang is a man who can't be said to be very good at dealing with people.

If you treat others a little better, others will doubt Liu Hongchang's motives.

After Liu Hongchang became obsessed with sex, he licked the He family without any regrets.

When it comes to other people, you can say it almost without meaning.

"Don't worry, I won't steal your private work. I'm single again now, and I can't spend all my salary. Why should I steal your work? Years ago, didn't I steal a lot of your work? This is considered Let me express my apology." Liu Hongchang explained.

"That's okay, who hasn't encountered some difficulties yet." Su Hou said grandly, he is actually not a bad person, and he is a person who can be a friend.

"The braised food is so delicious, I want one."

"This braised food is pretty good. Let's have another one."

"Master, you are really good at it. The newly added braised food today sold out!"

Then the canteen is open at noon, and the braised food has received very good feedback.Liu Hongchang's plan is successful. The taste is good and the price is cheap. These are the biggest advantages. You can follow this approach in the future.

After the busy period at noon was over, the work in the second canteen has entered a relatively leisurely stage.

After cleaning up the canteen, it was time to open for dinner.

Liu Hongchang also entered a leisurely state of drinking tea and reading newspapers.

If nothing happens later, a few people can get together and play cards and chess together.

"Master Liu, someone is looking for you outside." A cleaning lady informed Liu Hongchang.

"Who is looking for me?"

Someone asked Liu Hongchang to find his work unit, and Liu Hongchang was also quite surprised.

"Look at the work clothes, they are from a garment factory."

In this era, each unit has its own work clothes, and most people wear their own work clothes. It is quite convenient to recognize people.

"Male and female, isn't it He Wenhui?"

"A woman, not He Wenhui."

"Then I'll take a look."

Liu Hongchang took the teapot to the front hall of the cafeteria to see who was looking for him.

"Sister Junling, why are you here?"

This is indeed an acquaintance of Liu Hongchang, Gao Junling, a garment factory employee.

"Hong Chang, do you have time? I want to chat with you?" Gao Junling asked.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll make you a cup of tea."

Liu Hongchang met Gao Junling through the He family. Gao Junling was Yu Qiuhua's apprentice when she worked in a garment factory, so she was naturally close to the He family.

Although it was certain that Gao Junling came here because of He Wenhui, Liu Hongchang no longer wanted to discuss He Wenhui.

But because Gao Junling was a good person and out of respect for Gao Junling's character, Liu Hongchang was still willing to prepare tea, listen and explain.

It is also because after Liu Hongchang leaves the He family, Gao Junling will become the victim to fill the He family's huge hole, so there is a need to communicate.

This is what actually happened, before Liu Hongchang chose to lick the He family.

Gao Junling has always been doing her best to fill the huge hole in the He family.

Now that Liu Hongchang is gone, Gao Junling will inevitably take over.

Gao Junling wanted to persuade Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui to reconcile, and Liu Hongchang also wanted to persuade Gao Junling to stay away from the He family's group of white-eyed wolves.

You can give it a try and see who can convince whom.

"Hong Chang, haven't you and Wen Hui always been on good terms? Why did you suddenly get divorced?"

"It wasn't very good before. Sister Junling, as the person who knows the relationship between me and He Wenhui best, do you think our previous state was very good? It was just my unilateral kindness to their family, not It’s good between two people.”

"..." Gao Junling was speechless. She could only pick up the teapot and pretend to drink tea to relieve the embarrassment. It took at least 2 minutes before she recovered: "Hong Chang, Wenhui has feelings for you. After divorcing you, Wenhui also I no longer have the heart to work, and I have been distracted for the past two days."

Unable to hold on to reason, Gao Junling resorted to the emotional card.

"Sister Junling, do you think there is a possibility that He Wenhui is absent-minded, not because she has feelings for me. It is because without my salary subsidy, the survival of the He family has become a problem, and He Wenhui is absent-minded. ?”

Liu Hongchang rejected this emotional card and chose to ask questions from his soul.

Based on He Wenhui's salary of more than 30 yuan, it is actually barely enough for the He family to survive.

Don’t eat any refined grains such as rice or white flour. Eat whole grains such as sorghum flour, cornmeal, and dried sweet potatoes every day.

Don't think about big fish and meat. Buy some of the cheapest vegetables such as radishes and cabbage. The He family can still have enough food and clothing.

But now the time has entered the 80s. After the reform, supplies have been greatly enriched.

Life in the 80s has changed significantly compared to the 70s, [-]s and [-]s.

In recent years, people's food standards have improved a lot without realizing it.

Especially in the city, although food stamps are still used, you can already buy supplies with money.

Residents with good conditions have gradually begun to eat fine grains as their staple food, and their pursuit of eating well has begun to change from the pursuit of fullness to the pursuit of good food.

The He family's requirements for quality of life are no less than those of others.

Especially the three little white-eyed wolves of the He family, each one has a higher quality of life than the other.

Since the He family cannot be tolerated to be inferior to others, He Wenhui's salary is just a drop in the bucket for the He family.

"Hong Chang, how can you think like this?" Soul's question was very direct and painful, and Gao Junling became embarrassed and annoyed.

"Sister Junling, don't blame me for thinking this way. If you think about it objectively, is it because He Wenhui lost my people or lost my money that she can't live alone? You can have the answer yourself. ”

"..." After the truth was revealed, Gao Junling could only remain silent.

"Sister Junling, I don't want you to keep trying to persuade me. I'm also trying to persuade you. If the He family doesn't save on their own, the huge hole in their family won't be able to be filled.

Don't put all your money into the He family's huge hole.Dunzi is in the mine, and it's not easy to make some money. It's just risking his life to fight for it. Why should you throw Dunzi's life money into a bottomless pit? Liu Hongchang said seriously.

Gao Junling's man, Houdunzi, works in a coal mine.

He is the most ordinary coal digger who goes into the mine.

It can be said that every time I go down into a mine, I don't know if I can come up again.
