It seemed that Su Changyao's current downfall was only temporary, as he was born with a noble temperament.
Gu Min explained: "I saw that he was a big shot, so I was a little hesitant to use him."
After listening to Gu Min's description, Lu Baiwei compared the glimpse she had in her previous life with the man who came to work in their braised food shop.
At present, the individual economy has not been liberalized and Su Changyao is unknown.
Knowing that this person was not an ordinary person and it would be dangerous to use him, Lu Baiwei didn't know why and still wanted to use him based on her intuition.
She had a hunch that she would have a chance to work with this person in the future.
If he came to the shop to work as a cook as a transitional worker, then she would give the opportunity of transitional work to this temporarily distressed person.
"Since Big Brother has investigated his background, I think he can be used."
Lu Baiwei asked Shen Junqian, He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng what they meant.
Shen Junqian, the adventurer, naturally nodded happily.
Zhou Yanfeng looked at He Ting. He just followed Brother Ting's direction and was too lazy to think.
He Ting was silent for a moment and asked Gu Min: "How old is he?"
"Looks like he's in his thirties or forties."
Gu Min couldn't make up his mind either: "Anyway, he looks to be in his thirties, maybe forty. I can't tell if he looks young."
People in their thirties or almost forty?
That's no problem.
His wife does like good-looking men, regardless of how old they are.
He Ting glanced at Lu Baiwei: "Well, I agree!"
Lu Baiwei: “…”
The chef is in place and Gu Min is ready for trial operation.
On the first day of the trial operation, she did not dare to take too much meat and vegetables. She wrote a list of the side dishes needed in the store to He Ting and Shen Junqian. According to the agreement that He Ting and others had signed with the slaughterhouse, before going to school early in the morning, He Ting and Shen Junqian went to the slaughterhouse and got the meat and vegetables that Gu Min wanted.
In order to make vegetarian braised dishes, Gu Min went to the farmers' market to purchase them personally.
She went to buy groceries early in the morning and sent someone to take a message to Su Changyao who was staying at a friend's house. After receiving the message, Su Changyao came to work soon.
"I have a suggestion."
Look at Gu Min and the others washing vegetables and preparing to make braised dishes.
Su Changyao suggested: "I want to put the pot for stewed food in front of the store."
Gu Min's eyes lit up.
It turns out that the donkey is really a horse. Just take it out for a walk and you will know.
She cooked braised dishes in the courtyard and the house. The aroma of the braised meat was so delicious that it would kill people. Every time, a bunch of people would wait in line at the door.
If you put a pot of braised food at the door, the aroma of the braised food will surely make people stop and wait to see. Then would you still worry about no one coming to your trial business?
Does not exist.
No one can resist this scent.
Gu Min was full of confidence and cooperated with Su Changyao's decision.
Sure enough, the pot was set open, and as the aroma of the braised food wafted into the street, many people stopped to watch.
"What smells so good?"
Smelling the aroma of braised meat and looking at the tempting braised duck, pig's trotters, large intestine and duck offal displayed in the glass window, a lady passing by with a vegetable basket couldn't help swallowing.
"Auntie, this is the braised meat sold in our shop."
It smells so good!
The old lady swallowed her saliva and asked, "How much is this braised pork head?"
"One yuan and eight cents a pound. You can try it first."
Gu Min followed Lu Baiwei's advice, picked a piece of the pig's head, cut it into small pieces and put them in a bowl, then added the condiments, spices and peanuts to mix it like she did with pig ears as a test dish.
I saw several people on the street smelling the fragrance and following the old lady to the glass window.
Gu Min took out a thin bamboo stick and inserted a piece of meat on it for them to taste.
Who wouldn’t want to eat a piece of meat for free?
Originally, they were complaining that the braised pork head was too expensive, but when they put the meat into their mouths, their eyes widened.
So delicious!
If you want to buy meat in the market, you have to pay about one yuan per pound, and you also have to give meat coupons.
When the uncle heard Gu Min say that he didn't need a ticket to buy braised meat, he bought it without hesitation.
"Weigh one pound for me, and I want it to taste this way, slightly spicy."
The uncle handed the money to Gu Min. Su Changyao picked up a piece of pork head and cut it on the chopping board. Then he put the condiments, peanuts and spices on it, mixed it and handed it to the uncle.
The lady who was originally going to the market with a basket was going to buy vegetables to entertain her guests.
The guests just want a bite to eat.
If he entertains him well, his son's work problems will most likely be solved.
Once you become a formal employee in the factory, you can earn dozens of yuan a month!
The old lady thought about it without hesitation.
"Weigh me a pound of pig's head, too."
She asked casually: "How much is this braised duck?"
"Weigh it by the pound, two yuan per pound."
When Gu Min told the price, the old lady was shocked.
"This is too expensive. A duck only costs a few yuan, and you're selling a pound of duck meat for two yuan."
"Why don't you go and rob?"
Lu Baiwei had taught Gu Min how to speak in this situation, so she handled it with ease.
"Auntie, you can't say that. If you go to a state-owned restaurant to eat roast duck, a duck weighing four or five pounds will cost eight to ten yuan, and half a roast duck will cost four or five yuan."
"Our Food and Beverages Braised Duck is also priced at this price. A braised duck weighs four or five catties and costs about eight to ten yuan. Half a duck costs four or five yuan, which is two yuan per catty."
"You are used to eating roast duck. Why don't you try this braised duck for a change?"
"Let me tell you, the braised duck in our store is really delicious. Look at how we braised this duck. We added a lot of precious spices and Chinese medicinal herbs. Eating it can strengthen your body and prolong your life."
"Also, you don't need a ticket to buy braised food in our store."
Once it is related to prolonging life, it becomes a big deal.
Thinking that if her son got a good job, he would be able to go to the factory and get a salary every month, the old lady gritted her teeth.
"Half a braised duck is too much. I only need one plate of vegetables. Can you cut it in half for me? I want the fat part of the duck leg."
Gu Min agreed to her: "Okay, but if you want the duck leg, I want a duck head as a bonus."
"Do I need to pay extra?"
The old lady hesitated: "It's not worth it to add extra money."
The idea of braising the whole duck and selling braised duck as a bonus was proposed by Su Changyao.
Logically speaking, it is true that braised duck tastes better when it is braised separately, but Su Changyao thought that people these days can't even get enough food to eat, and the older generation would feel it's a loss if they bought the bones of the meat, so no one would be willing to buy the duck with bones just to taste it at first.
Moreover, the price of separate braised duck necks, duck heads, duck feet, etc. is higher than that of the whole pound.
Who is willing to accept it?
So Su Changyao came up with the idea of braising the whole duck and serving it with the head.
Su Changyao also proposed a solution to the problem of the duck not being well-seasoned. After the whole duck is braised, he takes it out of the pot and simmers it over low heat until it has an attractive color and is put in the window.
So after buying a pound of braised pig's head, the old lady fell in love with the whole duck braised by Su Changyao at first sight.
But the price was prohibitive, so considering the money for buying vegetables, she wanted to cut off half of the duck leg.
Now that she heard she had to pay a premium, she was reluctant.
