Chapter 781: Setting your own price for the first time

"Yes, Wang Zhihe's stinky fermented bean curd is truly a typical representative of "smells stinky and tastes delicious". Although he is from AH, he became famous in the capital by chance."

Chu Yunfeng didn't know much about the history and types of bean curd and tofu at first. He did some research before going to bed last night and learned a lot of information.

"That's right. His father was a tofu seller. Wang Zhihe learned this craft from his father when he was young, but his father knew that selling tofu was not a good way out.

Wang Zhihe was trained to study since he was a child, until he went to Beijing to rush for the exam and failed in Sun Shan. In order to make a living and continue to succeed in the exam in the capital, he rented a few houses in the capital.

Grinding several liters of beans every day, making tofu and selling it on the street was quite hard for Wang Zhihe, who had never done hard work since he was a child.

But for the sake of making a living and fighting for a breath, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

In midsummer, the leftover tofu often becomes moldy quickly and cannot be eaten anymore, so he cuts the tofu into small pieces and uses a dustpan to dry it.

After drying it, he found a small vat and salted it.

In the following period, the exam was about to take place again, so Wang Zhihe stopped the tofu business and concentrated on studying for the exam, and gradually forgot about it.

In the fall, Wang Zhihe remembered this. When he opened the lid, a strong odor assaulted his nostrils, almost knocking him out.

Originally, he wanted to throw the jar away, but when he picked it up, he suddenly found that the smell in the jar was much less intense.

Moreover, the tofu in the jar changed color. It didn't seem to be moldy, but it gave me a very strange idea.

It seems like you can try it?

God, are you a little crazy?

This thought made Wang Zhihe shudder. Can this food be eaten? "

Liang Haotian's narration was vivid and immersive. Mu Qing also found it very interesting and listened with gusto.

"President Liang, drink some juice."

Chu Yunfeng had already cut the beef and it was inconvenient for him to use his hands. He signaled to Mu Qing and asked her to pour a glass of juice for President Liang.

Like Mu Qing, although I learned some relevant information last night, it was only superficial and not as vivid and detailed as what President Liang said.

Therefore, Chu Yunfeng listened very interestingly and gained a better understanding of his knowledge.

"Thank you. Well, this juice is very good. The fruity flavor is very fragrant. And I just saw that you didn't add any sugar at all. The sweetness is just right!"

Liang Haotian was full of praise for this sunshine juice. It's hard to imagine that mangoes can have such a sweet and delicious taste after adding a little water.

"This fruit has been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it is freshly picked. In addition, it uses mountain spring water from Qingcheng Mountain, so it tastes so good."

Now is the season when mangoes are on the market in large quantities. Yang Ming picks them every afternoon and sends them directly to Chu Yunfeng, and they arrive early the next morning.

And they are shipped on time every day, not too much at one time, so the freshness is guaranteed.

"Well, you are indeed very particular about the ingredients you use here. No wonder so many people still eat it at such a price. There are still many people who know the good stuff."

Liang Haotian looked up at the price tag in the store and said with emotion.

"President Liang, keep talking. I still want to know the rest of the story."

After Mu Qing brought fruit juice to the other people who accompanied Chairman Liang, she wanted to continue listening to the next story. It seemed that she was indeed very interested.

Chu Yunfeng spent 30 experience points last night and still had 3 hours and 18 minutes to learn this dish. He was now ready to taste the beef.

Seeing that Mu Qing was so interested, Chu Yunfeng was also a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at each other, both of them were smiling.

"Haha, okay, then I'll continue!
Although Wang Zhihe was startled by the sudden idea in his heart, after all, it was something he made unintentionally. Now that it looks like this, the curiosity in his heart has overcome a little fear.

In that era, getting sick was actually a very scary thing. Generally speaking, wind and cold were the most deadly, and diarrhea was also very scary.

Not only does it cost money to seek medical advice, but whether it can be cured is also a big problem. The key is that if you spend money and the disease cannot be cured, you will be in bad luck.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as they are not forced to do so, no one will eat moldy and smelly things. The most feared thing is getting sick.

So Wang Zhihe's previous worries were correct. At this time, he carefully fished out a piece of tofu and found that the whole piece of tofu was blue-grey.

After gently removing the skin with chopsticks, he suddenly discovered that the color of the tofu inside was actually white, and it was milky white, which looked very beautiful.

Maybe, the blue-gray color on the surface is inedible, but the milky-white color inside is fine, right?

After cheering himself up, Wang Zhihe used a new chopstick to lightly tap the milky white tofu, just like a dragonfly touching water. It was really just a light touch.

Then he didn't put it in his mouth immediately to taste it, but brought it to his nose and smelled it carefully, and found that the smell was just a trace of it.

But more of it has a bit of fragrance, a strange but indescribable smell, somewhere between good and bad.

This smell is so weird!

After Wang Zhihe murmured something, he put the little bit of milky white tofu on the chopsticks on the tip of his tongue.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with eating such a small amount, right?

After overcoming his fear and worry, Wang Zhihe suddenly discovered that the smell seemed very intriguing.

Although it has a slight odor in the taste, it contains a very strong aroma. Although it is not a delicious food, it is also a rare alternative food.

A morning passed, and Wang Zhihe found that he didn't feel any physical discomfort. Then at noon, he fished out some blue-gray tofu and mixed it with porridge.

These two days are the time for the autumn tiger to show its power. The weather suddenly becomes very hot, and eating porridge is a good choice.

This tofu seems to have a feeling that I can't stop eating it. However, here comes the problem!

It seems that this smell makes me want to stop?

After eating several bowls of porridge in a row, Wang Zhihe suddenly realized that he had eaten too much blue-gray tofu, at least a dozen yuan!
This time, he was so frightened that his face turned a little pale.
I just ate a little bit with chopsticks in the morning, but it was still fine at noon. It might be that I ate too little, so I didn't react at all.

Originally, I only planned to eat a whole piece at noon, and then wait until night to see if I'm okay. If nothing happens, try two pieces tomorrow?
Regarding this new thing, Wang Zhihe still seems to be cautious.

But how could I have imagined that as soon as I started eating, I would get out of control and eat so much in a row?
What can we do now?
You won't be poisoned to death, right?

Wang Zhihe felt very uneasy at the moment, and began to feel a little uneasy. After having such thoughts, he suddenly felt that his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

I don’t know if this feeling is due to bloating after eating too much, or is it caused by eating this tofu?

This frightened him, so he quickly walked out of the house, turned a few corners and came to the door of a drug store, stood outside and started waiting.

Yes, just wait!
After I walked out of the house, I took a few steps and suddenly realized that my stomach seemed to be feeling better. It seemed that I was just a little bloated, and there didn't seem to be any pain.

However, standing here is the best choice. As long as his stomach hurts for a while, he can immediately walk in and let the doctor see him.

And at this moment, I can't just go in and let the doctor treat me when I'm fine, right?
What if I have nothing to do and I have to pay an extra consultation fee? Isn’t it worth the loss?
Bored, he waited and waited. Within the first two hours, he was still very nervous. After so long, he found that nothing seemed to be wrong with him?

So the worry in my heart began to slowly let go. Someone happened to be playing chess nearby, so I walked over to watch the chess.

The time spent watching people play chess passed quickly. It was not until the sun was about to set and the chess stalls began to close that he remembered that he was still in the observation period.

I quickly touched my belly and found that there seemed to be no feeling or change at all.

I'm fine!
That stuff is edible!
Haha!

Wang Zhihe laughed and went home in the evening and continued to eat this new food with porridge.

When he got up the next day, he found that he was still fine, so he was completely relieved and began to give this thing to his neighbors to taste, which was praised and recognized by everyone.

After that, he began to make batches and gradually became famous. By chance, this green-gray fermented bean curd was sent to the palace as a side dish for the royal family.

He came directly to Cixi and was loved by her, so he personally named it "Yu Qingfang". From then on, this stinky fermented bean curd became famous in the north.

What I just talked about is the Qing Fang, and the White Fang is mainly represented by Guilin fermented bean curd, which has been very famous since the Song Dynasty and has a very long history.

Red bean curd is more common in Sichuan. The most distinctive one is your local cabbage and bean curd. Each piece of fermented bean curd is wrapped in cabbage leaves. It is very unique and tastes very good!

What you just put in was the local red bean curd, but not the kind with cabbage? "

Liang Haotian talked for a long time, and his mouth was a little dry. He picked up the juice and drank it slowly.

"Yes, the kind of cabbage wrapped in chili powder is too much and is not suitable to be placed here, so I chose ordinary fermented bean curd, which is just a little spicy.

By the way, President Liang, this happened hundreds of years ago. How do you know so clearly? It feels like you saw it with your own eyes? "

While Chu Yunfeng was listening to the story, he had already fried the rice and glutinous rice, put them into the machine and started pounding them automatically. At this time, all the seasonings had been prepared.

Add the pounded rice and spices to the beef and start mixing it evenly. It can be steamed immediately.

"These are all recorded in unofficial history. I usually like to read some miscellaneous books, so I am relatively familiar with these things. It is just to increase some conversation topics after dinner."

Liang Haotian took a few sips of juice, breathed out a sigh of relief, and gave a surprising answer.

unofficial history?

No wonder, Chairman Liang is really knowledgeable. There are too few people who can even read unofficial history. Almost only the older generation likes to read those books, right?
Today's young people, including Chu Yunfeng, can't read ordinary comics and animations. How can they have the time and energy to read old books from the past?
"President Liang, you are being too modest. We should learn more from you. The pace of life is so fast now. We can't find much time to read books every day. I really envy you."

Mu Qing thought about it, and it seemed that it had been a long time since she had read a book quietly, especially when she usually came home very late and was so tired that she wanted to sleep. How could she still have the mood and thoughts to read?

"Haha, I have developed this habit over the years. I can't sleep without reading for a while this night. It's an old habit!

But I should be envious of you. Today’s mobile phones have many functions. It’s very convenient to read news, watch videos, etc., but I’m still not used to it.

I still like to hold paper books when reading, because they look more interesting this way.

Your method of steaming beef in a small cage is really special. It should be an ancient method of Sichuan cuisine. The fermented glutinous rice and fermented bean curd will add a lot of flavor. The preparation of rice noodles is also very unique, and glutinous rice is specially added.

I'm already looking forward to it! "

Pushing up his glasses, Liang Haotian laughed. It seemed that his insistence on reading paper books seemed to be a bit insistent on "ancient methods", so he was even more looking forward to tasting this delicacy.

"Yes, this is the traditional way of Sichuan cuisine. There is also a traditional way of eating it. You can try it later and see if it tastes good to you?"

Chu Yunfeng had already prepared the garlic water from the beginning. After the beef was steamed, the garlic flavor could be soaked out, which was perfect for tasting immediately.

"Okay, I really want to try it, but I don't need to taste it to know that your cooking is very delicious, haha."

The three of them laughed together. As soon as Chu Yunfeng put the steamer on it, customers started asking: "Boss Chu, how much does your steamed beef in a small steamer cost? Why is there no price on the ordering machine?" ah?"

uh~?

Chu Yunfeng then remembered that he had forgotten such an important matter. This was also because of Liang Haotian's sudden visit, so he immediately ignored the price tag.

"Sorry, I'll take care of it right away."

After Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, he began to think about it, how should the price be determined?
In the past, I always found it troublesome, so I just let the system help me set the price. I just threw the price tag into the cupboard and let the system mark the price. This was really trouble-free.

But today I want to come and set the price myself.

Because the prices in the store almost all end with 9, it seems a bit monotonous, but you still need to calculate the cost first.

There are three pieces of beef in this small cage, and the cost including ingredients is about 50 yuan. If the system's usual inertia is followed, it should be priced at 99 yuan.

But I will follow my own ideas today and give you a price of 88 yuan. This price looks so good!

Compared with the previous dishes, the profit was much less, but Chu Yunfeng felt that it didn't matter. It was a thank you to everyone for their continued support of Yipin and gave everyone benefits.

Soon, Chu Yunfeng took out the price tag and hung it up. Then he took out his mobile phone and pretended to do it twice, spoke to the system, and then told the guests that they could order!
Steamed beef in a steamed bun – 88 yuan?
It seems to be very good, the price is even cheaper than the price, and the customers are starting to become restless.
