Rising from the age of thirty

Chapter 44 Song Guangli's Shock
"I'll have a few pounds of pig's feet delivered to you later. Old Song, you can cook it once and let us all taste it. If it tastes good, we'll promote it vigorously."

Song Guangli hesitated for a moment. He really had no confidence, but he didn't want to disappoint Lu Le, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

"But don't get your hopes up."

Three minutes later, there was a noise downstairs, followed by Shi Tou's loud voice.

"Brother Le, are you there?"

"I'm on the second floor. Come up by yourself."

Shitou and Tieniu didn't understand why Lu Le called them over.

I also got a plate of pig's trotters!
These pig's trotters have been processed. Lu Le had instructed before he came that after blanching the trotters in cold water, they should be soaked in ginger and scallion water for half an hour and then taken out.

"This restaurant seems to be newly opened. Could it be that Brother Le wants to eat?"

"I don't know."

"Come on, come on, don't make him wait anxiously, we still have to go up to the second floor."

The two of them went upstairs slowly, looking around.

After seeing Lu Le, Shitou said: "Brother Le, we are here, what about this pig's trotter?"

Lu Le waved his hand and said, "Old Song, they are my brothers. The pig's trotters are here. I'll leave them to you. I've already asked someone to process them. Just put them in the pot."

Song Guangli took it with a smile: "No problem, the secret pig's trotter will be ready in an hour at the latest, just wait a moment."

He was very confused.

This pig's trotter?
Flying water in advance?

What's the difference?

However, he didn't ask.

After Song Guangli went into the kitchen, Shitou came over and asked, "Tell us what's going on. Can we get some pig's trotters?"

"The man just now is called Lao Song. He is a small shareholder of Jinyun Pavilion and a chef. I am the boss. Let you..."

The two could no longer hear what Lui Lok said next. All they could think about was: Does the restaurant belong to Lui Lok?

"Le, Brother Le, you just said the restaurant is yours? Shit... How come I didn't know that!"

Shitou's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently, with a look of shock.

Tie Niu also had a look of admiration on his face, and felt that Lui Lok was increasingly awesome.

"You're hiding it too deeply, you're not worthy of being a brother." Shitou turned around and had an idea in his mind. The Jinyun Pavilion restaurant was quite big, with an investment of at least four hundred thousand.

Then he took a breath.

"I just took over a few days ago. Didn't I ask you to come here? What do you think?"

"What do you mean?"

"The restaurant is not open yet and is still in the investment stage. Are Shitou Tieniu interested in participating?"

Tie Niu was very touched, but this was Lui Lok's business, and it was basically operational and a sure profit. He didn't want to have a share of the profits, as he knew his own limitations.

Shitou had the same idea: "Brother Le, I can't accept it. You have basically done it, and you are not short of money, so you don't need us."

Shitou shook his head with a serious expression.

"We are brothers, why are you being so polite to me? These are just minor things. There will be plenty of money in the future. Why bother with this? If you want to invest, then invest."

Lu Le has already opened up his mind and now sees everything as light-hearted.

"I can have shares, but I have to contribute a share of the money invested in the restaurant. Even if there is a loss, I will follow. It doesn't make sense for you to take the risk and share the profits with everyone!"

"Brother Le, Shitou is right. I'm touched that you still remember us brothers. The restaurant has been built, you paid for it, and you contributed to everything. We can't take advantage of you for nothing." Tie Niu said righteously and firmly.

Lu Le thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I've invested a total of 400,000 yuan. You and Shi Tou each put in 50,000 yuan. You will own a share of the restaurant in the future, but you have to think carefully. There are gains and losses in business. There is no guaranteed profit. No one can predict it."

Shitou smiled and said, "I understand. No matter what the result is, I won't blame you. It won't affect our brotherhood. Besides, you want to make money with us."

Tie Niu scratched his head and managed to utter a few words after a long while: "What am I afraid of? We can make money together and ride the storm together!!"

"Hahaha."

"Good brother." Initially, Lu Le spent 300,000 to acquire the Xingfu Restaurant. With the subsequent miscellaneous expenses, it cost more than 400,000. Now he only says 400,000.

Their 50,000 yuan is for investment, and they took the initiative to ask for 2% of the shares.

Only two percent?
It’s a bit of a loss for Shi Tou and the others!
However, Lui Lok didn't say anything. After all, they wouldn't want more even if you gave them more.

"Only 2 percent? Isn't that a little too little?"

"It's a lot, and we've even got a bargain. It's settled."

Lu Le smiled helplessly. Just as he thought, Shi Tou and Tie Niu would not ask for more.

"Brother Le, you haven't told us yet, why are you asking us to get pig's trotters?"

"Try not to talk for now. Don't say anything. Just follow my instructions."

Several people were happily negotiating, and Song Guangli's royal braised pork trotters were almost ready to be served.

The fresh pig's trotters exuded a rich aroma that filled the entire banquet hall.

"smell good!"

“Longjiang pork trotter rice?”

"This taste is wrong, it's much more fragrant than Longjiang pig's feet."

Lu Le's mouth curled up, he was already looking forward to it. It was worthy of being the palace's secret braised pork trotter, and it lived up to its reputation.

Song Guangli ran out excitedly, his face full of excitement: "Boss, this... did you smell it? The braised pig's trotters made this time are different!"

Shi Tou was confused, what's the difference, aren't they all done by you?
Lu Le remained silent.

When Song Guangli served the pig's trotters, Shitou and Tieniu both praised them highly.

"Try it now."

Lu Le took a bite and said, "This tastes amazing!"

value!
Choosing to open a restaurant is a wise choice. As long as Song Guangli's imperial braised pork trotters is there, there will be no worries about business!

Shitou couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth: "Good, good, you are indeed a great chef."

Tie Niu also took a bite, and his eyes were instantly wide open. The taste hit his taste buds directly. He swore that he had never eaten such delicious pig's trotters, and Longjiang pig's feet had to stand aside.

"Full marks!"

Song Guangli was so excited: "I'm confused. I always follow the methods and steps passed down by my ancestors. Why does it taste so good this time?"

The meat is fresh and not tough, springy when eaten, and the sauce is rich and tangy.

Song Guangli couldn't figure out which step was wrong!

"It's about the pig's trotters, Old Song. The pig's trotters I gave you are semi-finished products. You can add this dish to your signature dish series in the future!"

Lu Le is not that stupid. As long as he masters the most critical step, even if Song Guangli does not work for him in the future, he will not be able to make the taste of the palace braised pork trotters.

Song Guangli was stunned for three seconds before he digested Lu Le's words: "I see."

"Don't worry, boss. I will definitely promote this imperial braised pig's trotter dish and make it the most popular signature dish of this restaurant."

"Old Song, I was right about you. Work hard and I won't treat you unfairly."

Song Guangli was touched: "Boss, I am very grateful that you can give me a job and invest my cooking skills. I will never let you down in the future."

"Well, what do you think is a suitable price for this dish?"

Lu Le said.

Tie Niu said, "Is eighty okay?"

Song Guangli was more professional: "I think 120 yuan is enough. It's too expensive and they can't afford it."

Shitou opened his mouth wide, his face full of surprise. A dish of pig's trotter costs more than one hundred yuan. Can anyone afford it?

His vision is too narrow. He doesn't understand the lifestyle of rich people. Those rich people have nothing but money. Rich people in Guangdong provinces pay special attention to food.
