[Ding! Your amazing fried rice has received 5 positive reviews, which have been automatically converted into points. Your current remaining points: 1265]
Congratulations! You can now redeem a new recipe at the mall. Please remember to redeem it!
After a long day, my system points have reached over a thousand.
Lu Rong couldn't help but quickly check the recipes in the online store in his mind.
The recipe redemption is divided into four tiers: 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, and 500,000.
He can only consider points of 1,000 right now.
He doesn't dare to think about anything too advanced right now.
Although it's worth 1,000 points, any one of them would probably be enough to drive people crazy.
It's surprising that even a simple egg fried rice could drive him so crazy.
The business of selling fried rice over the past few days has taught him a lesson.
For someone like him who sells boxed lunches, the recipes must be easy to prepare; anything too complicated would seriously affect his work efficiency.
Therefore, when choosing a new recipe, one very important characteristic is that it must be easy to cook.
Ideally, it should be the kind that can cook a large pot at once, which would save a lot of trouble.
For example, with the fried rice I've been making these past few days, I have to prepare the rice for the next day every night, and then fry it again and again the next day after preparing the rice.
Although he can now operate two pots at the same time, he is still very tired after a whole day.
He looked closely and, according to the mall's list, there weren't many dishes that could be redeemed with 1,000 points; there were probably only twenty or thirty.
Most of them are home-style dishes, such as hot and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried cucumber with meat.
Although it's easy to cook, it doesn't quite achieve the effect he wanted.
Just then, he suddenly discovered a dish that satisfied him.
Beef stew with potatoes.
"This is great!" Lu Rong exclaimed excitedly.
As we all know, stewed beef with potatoes is mainly made by cooking potatoes and beef together.
The biggest difference between boiling and stir-frying is that you can boil a whole pot of food at once.
However, stir-frying is more difficult to do.
If that's the case, selling a thousand servings a day might not be a problem in the future, and most importantly, the preparation time will be significantly reduced.
It really saves time and effort.
"System, exchange 1,000 points for the recipe for stewed beef with potatoes." He made the choice immediately without hesitation.
[Congratulations on spending 1000 points to obtain the recipe for Braised Beef with Potatoes! You currently have 265 points remaining. Please continue your efforts to earn more points to redeem new recipes.]
[Ding, the recipe has been synchronized to the host's mind. Please check it.]
As the system's voice rang in, Lu Rong immediately felt a constant stream of cooking knowledge flooding his mind.
In the blink of an eye, I became a master at making beef stew with potatoes.
Although it wasn't the first time he'd received a recipe, it still shocked him.
He had a feeling that this beef stew with potatoes would be even more popular than the fried rice with eggs.
It's important to know that a big problem with fried rice is that it's not very nutritious, since it mainly consists of eggs and rice.
But beef stew with potatoes is different. As we all know, among meats, beef is favored by people because it is high in protein and low in fat.
Beef is especially suitable for obese people and those with arteriosclerosis.
With this in mind, he made a bold decision: he would not sell fried rice tomorrow.
They sell potato stew with beef at the same time.
Although some students who don't like beef may be lost, the vast majority of them do like it.
And it might even attract more students to buy.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and students won't have classes, so sales are expected to be much higher.
Many students who go to class eat at the cafeteria not far from the classroom after class.
His location was relatively close to the dormitory.
This means that more students will come to his shop tomorrow during mealtimes because of the proximity.
If it's fried rice with eggs, it's hard to break even selling more than 600 servings a day.
But stewed beef with potatoes is different; you can cook several large pots at once.
Early the next morning.
Lu Rong went to the home appliance market and bought four large stainless steel pots specifically for stewing.
This pot can cook enough food for more than 100 people at once.
After buying the kitchenware, he went to the market and bought about 200 kilograms of beef, spending nearly 10,000 yuan.
That's a huge investment.
Then I asked the stall owner to cut them into small pieces using a machine.
Potatoes and carrots were relatively cheap; I bought over 300 jin (150 kg) and it only cost me a little over 1,000 yuan.
Other ingredients like ginger, garlic, and cooking wine are negligible; they're practically worthless to Lu Rong now.
To improve efficiency, he also had the vendors use an automatic potato peeling machine to peel all the potato skins.
Because he bought so much, the shops were willing to cater to his requests and even offered to deliver the goods to his door, saving him a lot of trouble.
Back at the shop, he put the peeled potatoes into a large stainless steel basin and washed them one by one.
Next, we started cooking.
Add water to four large stainless steel pots, then add beef, ginger slices, and scallion segments to blanch them, and cook them at the same time.
Ten minutes later, seeing that it was almost done, Lu Rong poured out the water from the pot and added a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of dark soy sauce, and a spoonful of cooking wine to the pot.
Mix the sauce and beef well.
Next, add onions and dried chilies to the pot, cover it, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
Do not add cold water here, as the beef will easily become tough. You must add boiling water to stew.
After placing all the necessary ingredients and setting the timer, I simply waited for it to slowly cook until it was done.
Once the time is up, add potato chunks, carrot chunks, and tomatoes to the pot, add salt, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for another ten minutes.
That basically completes the task.
Of course, he didn't forget to prepare rice either; three large pots were cooking at the same time.
The entire small shop was packed up so tightly that it was completely covered.
Everything was basically ready.
Just sprinkle some chopped green onions on top before serving.
Then he found a calligraphy brush and a large sheet of white paper, and wrote on it, "Today's menu: Stewed beef with potatoes, priced at thirty yuan per serving."
It was placed in a prominent position in front of the store.
There was nothing he could do; beef was too expensive, almost fifty yuan per pound. The only reason the vendor gave him a slight discount was because he bought a large quantity.
With all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, today's costs are close to ten thousand. I don't care how much, but at least I should make a meager living.
Before long, a rich, appetizing aroma wafted from all the stainless steel stew pots.
It's obvious that the beef stew with potatoes is ready.
The aroma of beef is even more intoxicating than that of fried rice.
The smell alone is irresistible.
"Did Senior Lu Rong cook something new today?"
Just then, Su Tingyun's sweet voice came...
