Chapter 785 It is shameful to waste food
After Mr. Li entered the store, he asked curiously: "Why are there so many people selling steamed buns outside?"

Mr. Li took it from Mu Qing. As soon as the two of them came in from the street, they found that there were many people setting up stalls or hanging stalls on their chests selling white facial masks on the whole street.

Mu Qing naturally knew the reason, but it was a pity that she ate too early in the morning and this "invention" had not yet been born.

Unfortunately, this dish was sold out before noon, and we only have tomorrow to try this new flavor for ourselves.

"Are there many people selling steamed buns outside?"

Chu Yunfeng, who had not been out this morning, couldn't help but asked curiously. Seeing Mr. Li's surprised expression, this number must be quite a lot.

"There are really many, do you want to go out and take a look?

The funniest thing is that the current price has dropped to the price of cabbage, but no one buys it. You have made the boss who makes steamed buns miserable! "

Mu Qing couldn't help but laugh when she talked about this. The group had been noisy for a long time. At the beginning, the steamed buns could be sold for 30 yuan each, but now no one buys them for 5 cents each.

"I'll take a look!"

Chu Yunfeng became interested immediately. It seemed that he had led the development of an "emerging industry", but now it seemed that it had stalled out in less than half a day.

As soon as he opened the door, these steamed bun sellers swarmed over him as soon as they saw Chu Yunfeng, which really shocked him.

"Boss Chu, please keep opening the door this afternoon, otherwise I won't be able to sell my steamed buns!"

"That's right, Boss Chu, let's continue selling Xiaolong Steamed Beef in the afternoon. This dish makes my steamed buns sell faster!"

"Will the store be open in the afternoon?"

About a dozen steamed bun sellers gathered around. Chu Yunfeng glanced at them and found that each boss had about 100 steamed buns that had not been sold.

What's more, they just pushed a small cart over. Looking at the posture, there were at least hundreds of steamed buns on it.

"Why are you making so many steamed buns? This steamed beef dumpling can't hold so much, and we're closed in the afternoon. You can find a way to sell them elsewhere!"

Chu Yunfeng had a headache when he saw these thousands of steamed buns. These bosses were probably stimulated by the easy money at the beginning, so they made so many at once, causing a pile up.

"Boss Chu, please help me. Who will I sell this steamed bun to?"

"That's right. I usually only sell less than 100 meat buns a day when I buy them. It's already noon, so I won't be able to sell them all out. They'll be spoiled tomorrow."

"You can't store this bun. The weather is so hot. It will deteriorate if you leave it for a while, let alone take it back and freeze it overnight. The taste will be terrible."

"If you really can't sell it, you can only throw it away. This is all food. It would be such a waste to throw it away!"

These bosses are very conscientious and deal with the spoiled and bad steamed buns themselves instead of trying to process them before selling them to customers.

Seeing that they are in such a difficult situation, and they are all relatively upright bosses, these steamed buns are all food, so it would be a pity to waste them like this.

So Chu Yunfeng decided to help them and get rid of all the steamed buns.

"How many do you sell for this steamed bun?"

Chu Yunfeng was not in a hurry to tell them his decision, but asked about the price.

"What? Boss Chu, do you want to buy this bun?"

"Just tell me a price. As long as you want them all, I'll do it."

"2 cents each, cost price, Boss Chu will take it all!"

"3 cents."

"4 cents."

"1 yuan."

Immediately, the boss gave feedback and saw that everyone had a lot of inventory. It was only right to sell what they had on hand quickly!
But as soon as Chu Yunfeng revealed a hint of willingness to buy, the price immediately changed. Some people sold directly at cost price, while some people had other ideas and raised the price.

Regarding those who raised the price, Chu Yunfeng snorted in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll take 2 cents of the cost price. Let's just move in."

As soon as he finished speaking, three bosses immediately ran over and picked up their big box without hesitation, and then rushed into the store, exclaiming "liberated" in their hearts.

The other four or five bosses hesitated a little and also carried the buns into the first-class shop.

The remaining eight bosses seem a bit interesting.

Two of them were discussing.

"It seems that Boss Chu wants to make a fortune from this. Take the steamed buns and make some steamed beef in a small steamed bun later. Then sell it at a higher price!"

"Isn't that right? You can make a lot of money just by selling one for 5 yuan, and you don't have to go out to buy it yourself. It's so easy."

"Haha, then we won't sell it and just wait here. He will definitely cook this dish soon. If he sells it for 5 yuan, we will sell it for 4 yuan. In short, we can still make money even if it is cheaper than him. "

"Yes, yes, look at these sold to him now. They have really helped us a lot. They will definitely regret it later. Don't cry then!"

"I have been working on it all morning, but the result is to make wedding clothes for others. It is better for us to see clearly and wait slowly. Only with patience can we make a lot of money."

"It makes sense, let's just wait. It seems we will definitely make money today."

The conversation between these two people was heard by several people nearby. Originally, two or three of the bosses wanted to sell it, but when they heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense.

Why did Boss Chu accept such steamed buns?

There is no way he can eat so much by himself!

Even if I take my friends to eat with me, I can't eat it all. In just that moment, at least a thousand buns went in. This means that there is an opportunity to make money.

So the eight bosses returned to their stalls with their own thoughts and decided to wait patiently here.

"Are you still selling it? If you want to sell it, do it quickly, I'm going to close down soon!"

Chu Yunfeng asked Guo Kui and Hu Yue to count the number of buns with each boss, and then paid them the money. When no one came in, he went out and yelled.

But the effect didn't seem to be good at all. The remaining bosses ignored me and seemed to be making their own plans.

hey~!

"Good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost!"

Chu Yunfeng didn't expect that some people would not buy into his good intentions, and even wanted to use this matter to continue to make a fortune. Isn't this a little too good?
I was already very busy in the kitchen, but after seeing everyone's difficulties, I thought of making some small steamed beef to help them digest the excess inventory.

By the way, Hu Yue and Guo Kui are also asked to learn how to make this dish. Wouldn't it be a waste if this ready-made labor is not used?

This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone!

Moreover, I will not sell the steamed buns at a higher price, but will give them to me for free. The price of a small steamed beef bun will remain the same, and I will also give you two steamed buns.

And there is no need for customers to come to the store to pick it up in person. All orders can be placed directly as takeout orders, and everyone can place an order online.

Because the weather is relatively hot in the afternoon, it is easy to get heatstroke if too many customers queue up, so this method is very considerate.

After seeing that no one paid attention to him, Chu Yunfeng closed the store door and let these greedy guys enjoy the beauty of the hot sun. Let them enjoy it for a while longer and then give them a critical blow!

"What are you doing with so many steamed buns? Can we finish them all?"

Guo Kui touched his stomach very worriedly, thought about his food intake seriously, and thought that there would be no problem with up to 10, but now it seemed that the amount was more than a hundred times that amount, and he was a little scared.

"The boss who sells roujiamo has made too much and can't sell it, so I will give it to the customers for free to avoid wasting it."

After Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, he immediately called the supplier of the Bai family and asked them to send a batch of beef quickly.

Although the quality is not as good as that under the snow-capped mountains, it is not bad, and the taste and texture are still guaranteed after synthesis.

"I saw there are people guarding outside. Aren't those people selling?"

Mu Qing asked curiously, expressing great appreciation for Chu Yunfeng's approach, which did not waste food and also provided some benefits to the guests.

"Them?

They think they can make more money for a while, but it may make them cry. "

Chu Yunfeng explained his plan, which immediately made everyone laugh. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunfeng had such a trick. After a while, the bosses would probably come to the door crying.

"Okay, let's get started before the beef comes. We'll make this dish today. You can all taste it later. I haven't tasted it for a long time."

Mr. Li saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly. It seemed that they were all thinking about this dish. Especially Mu Qing, who asked a lot of questions about this dish on the way here.

And he also paid special attention to the texture and taste of this dish, which shows from the side that this dish is extraordinary.

"That's great. Don't worry, old man. I'll be quiet and won't even move."

Guo Kui was very excited. It was not easy to see Mr. Li cooking. Of course, such an opportunity should be cherished.

"Me too, and I promise not to make any noise, and I will never speak in the middle, let alone ask questions."

Hu Yue patted her chest and made a serious promise. Being able to observe Mr. Li's cooking at close range like this would last for a year after going out.

Only Chu Yunfeng didn't take it seriously. Mr. Li was so focused when he was cooking that he simply ignored the existence of you two. Oh, by the way, he also ignored it.

"Mr. Li, let's see how the fish I bought is doing. This kind of fish has already been insured. Although others eat it secretly, we can't.

So what I bought was farmed, and even the farmed ones cost 200 yuan per catty. I heard that the wild ones cost at least 500 yuan per catty, and those above three catties sold for 1000 yuan per catty. "

After Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, he took Mr. Li into the kitchen and opened the cabinet.

“Yes, there were a lot of fish like this in the past, and the price was not expensive, so you could still eat them from time to time, but now you can’t.

You're doing the right thing. You can't do this kind of illegal thing. Especially don't touch some insured ingredients. Don't step on this kind of red line.

It's just that the taste and texture are a little different, so why bother doing something illegal! "

Mr. Li very much agreed with Chu Yunfeng's concept and nodded with satisfaction. If Chu Yunfeng really brought a wild one back today, Mr. Li would definitely turn around and leave, and would never see him again.

"Oh, it's not bad. This one weighs at least 5 kilograms. It seems that it has been raised for many years. No wonder it costs 200 per kilogram. Generally, the price of less than three kilograms is less than [-] yuan."

Chu Yunfeng took out the fish that had been processed. Those who knew it would understand at a glance that this fish is called Jiangtuan, one of the four famous fish in the Yangtze River.

"Yeah, so the owner of the farm told me that the price of 200 yuan is actually not too expensive. It was mainly recommended by acquaintances, so he gave me a little discount."

Chu Yunfeng was very impressed by Boss Wu's wide network of friends. When he told him to help find the owner of a farming group, he immediately called him and told him to give him a discount.

“This kind of fish was plentiful in the 70s, and the price was very cheap. I remember it was only 8 cents to 1 yuan per pound at that time.

You must know that pork at that time was only about 4 cents per pound. Looking back now, the taste memory from that time still exists to this day.

By 2007, Jiangtuan was officially listed as a nationally protected aquatic product. It was from that time that the price of Jiangtuan began to "take off."

Each kilogram costs at least one hundred yuan, but these are wild prices.

At that time, the awareness of protection was relatively weak, and many people were eating it secretly. This caused the price of this fish to rise year by year, and the decrease in quantity inspired everyone to try it. "

Mr. Li couldn't help but sigh when he said this. Many fish species in the Yangtze River are now on the verge of extinction. If they are not properly protected, it will be difficult for future generations to pursue the taste of delicious food.

"Indeed, many people eat with a sense of scarcity. It seems that the more "scarce and protected" an ingredient is, the more it stimulates the "taste buds" of this type of people.

What these people essentially eat is not fish, but a sense of dignity and class.
I remember there was a report some time ago. In an underground fish trading market in the Yangtze River, people were rushing to buy [-] kilograms of saury.

Moreover, this fish was caught poached using an electric fishing boat. "

Chu Yunfeng was a little angry when he talked about this. Poaching like this happened repeatedly. The key lies in the existence of a buyer's market.

It really echoes the saying, "No buying and selling, no killing." This sentence explains a truth very incisively. The key is to change your thinking. Wild things are not necessarily good.

Some wild birds actually carry a lot of germs on their bodies, and you may be infected after eating them once, so the risk is still very high.

"Okay, we can't control others, as long as you do your own thing.

Has the fish been processed?Didn’t I tell you to let me handle it? "

Mr. Li looked through it with his hands and found that the fish had been cleaned, and he was immediately unhappy.

Chu Yunfeng said helplessly: "This fish was almost dying when it was delivered, so I processed it first to keep it fresh, otherwise it would affect the taste."

I can only explain it this way. I can't tell Mr. Li that I actually bought two of them and used the system to synthesize them.
"Okay, let's get started. This dish is called Steamed Jiang Tuan with Net Oil. It has a history of two to three hundred years. It is a traditional classic dish of our Sichuan cuisine."

After saying this, Mr. Li kept silent and concentrated on making it.
