Chapter 136 Secret Weapon
Ruan Fu heard the sound and pushed the door open to come out.
The person who came in was none other than her grandmother Xie Dongmei, who was holding Tiantian, who was jumping up and down beside her.
As soon as she saw Ruan Fu, Tiantian immediately rushed up to her and said in a baby voice: "Sister Fu, grandma said you opened a store here and asked us to come and have dinner."
Ruan Fu pinched her little face and said with a smile: "You must be hungry, we can have dinner soon."
It was the first time for Xie Dongmei to come here. She looked around the store and smiled.
"This place is really grand. Are you two the only ones working here?"
Ruan Fu shook her head and said with a smile, "Qin Fang hired a sister named Wang today. She looks very skillful. For now, she is going to be in charge of serving dishes. We may hire a chef later."
Xie Dongmei nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll come and help you when I'm free."
Tiantian was acting like a coquettish candy and sniffed her little nose, "Sister Fu, what dish did you cook? It smells so good."
Oh, I almost forgot about the main business.
Ruan Fu patted her head and laughed, "The dishes are ready. What staple food do you want to eat today? Noodles or rice? There were steamed buns, but we didn't have time to steam them today."
How can you make a choice like this?
Xie Dongmei hesitated, "Do you have to make two dishes specially? Just make whatever you like."
Ruan Fu glanced at Qin Fang next to her and said with a smile, "No trouble, I remember that grandma likes noodles the most, and Qin Fang and Tiantian like rice the most. Wait for me, it will be ready soon."
In the back kitchen, Ruan Fu quickly put half a catty of noodles in a pot of boiling water.
After picking it up, she poured a lot of salted meat soup on it, and finally sprinkled a handful of sesame seeds and served with half a salted egg.
Then she took it out, "Grandma, try this salted noodles, how does it taste?"
From cooking the noodles to taking them out of the pot, it took only more than a minute.
The meat is rich and the soup is delicious, which makes people salivate.
Xie Dongmei took a bite first and nodded repeatedly, "Delicious, the soup mixed with noodles tastes really good."
Tiantian widened her eyes, "It looks so delicious."
Ruan Fu laughed, and then like a magic trick, she took out two plates of white rice.
A spoonful of thick mutton and radish was poured on them, and half a salted egg was added.
"Yours is here too, the fragrant rice."
Now even Qin Fang was interested.
"Fuzi, is this the rice you mentioned?"
It doesn't look difficult, isn't it just some meat soup mixed with rice? Although it's a little fragrant, who hasn't eaten leftovers mixed with rice these days?
Afu said she wanted to use it to open a store, can it attract customers?
Ruan Fu nodded and said proudly, "Yes, today we are having a family meal, so we only made this one variety. When we officially open tomorrow, I will make more dishes. By then, there will be four or five kinds of臊子 alone. You can eat it with noodles or rice. Pair it with some vegetables. It is nutritious and delicious, and the food is served quickly."
Tiantian is a child after all. She couldn't help herself in front of the delicious food. She grabbed a spoonful and squinted her eyes with satisfaction.
"Sister Fu, this is too delicious. I have never eaten such fragrant rice."
Is it really that delicious?
Qin Fang looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something else.
Ruan Fu stuffed a spoon into his hand, pursed her lips and smiled, "I know what you want to say. Try it first, it will be cool later."
Qin Fang was skeptical, so he had to take a bite first, and his eyes lit up immediately.
The taste is really great, the mutton is soft, the radish is delicious, and most importantly, the soup is so fragrant.
The doubt just now disappeared, and he couldn't wait to taste another spoonful.
It's really... amazing!
"Afu, how can you make it taste like this?"
Ruan Fu blinked and smiled playfully, "It's delicious, right? I added my own bean paste to it."
Just kidding, this is the soybeans I personally selected, carefully marinated for more than half a month, and every time I cook, I put a spoonful in the dish, and the taste will instantly improve several times.
As long as you master this core technology, even if you change the chef, the taste of the restaurant will not change.
Qin Fang poured the rich soup on the rice, one mouthful after another, and couldn't stop at all.
Soon he ate a plate of rice clean.
She nodded with a lingering feeling, "It's really good, much better than leftover rice."
How come this girl has so many creative ideas that she can even make money from leftover rice.
Ruan Fu corrected her earnestly, "This is called rice cooked with a lid, not rice mixed with leftovers."
Xie Dongmei was amazed, "Fuzi, where did you get all these novel ideas? I've never seen this way of eating before."
Ruan Fu took the initiative to explain, "Grandma, I heard about it on the radio. For high school students, time is money. It takes at least five or six minutes to cook a bowl of noodles. If there are many people, it may take more than ten minutes to serve a bowl. The feature of this rice cooked with a lid is that it can be served quickly and in a short time, which can save students more time."
She took out a few small clay pots and opened them to reveal steaming soup.
Qin Fang was a little curious, "What is this?"
Ruan Fu smiled proudly, "These are medicinal soups, I guarantee you have never tasted them."
This is her secret weapon, integrating the Chinese medicine she learned before into her diet, making it into a fresh soup and a medicinal diet.
Students are under great pressure from studying and are mentally exhausted, so she puts wolfberry, angelica, and ginseng in the soup.
Slowly simmered over a low fire, the old-fashioned soup is unusually fresh and fragrant, and most importantly, it can improve eyesight and nourish the mind, and everyone will like it.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Qin Fang praised it after taking a bite.
The chicken soup is fragrant, and the taste of Chinese medicine is not abrupt, and it tastes really good.
Ruan Fu was very happy to receive the compliment.
Xie Dongmei looked at the table full of meat and vegetables, but she had another concern.
"Fuzi, will this dish with meat and soup be very expensive?"
Qin Fang also thought of this and looked a little worried.
After all, students don’t have much money these days, and a bowl of noodles on the roadside costs only 50 or 60 cents.
But Fuzi’s place has mutton and chicken, plus the labor cost, so if you calculate it this way, I’m afraid it will cost a lot.
Even if the taste is good, the price is high, and not many people will eat it.
Ruan Fu smiled mysteriously and shook her head, "Grandma, do you think anyone will eat this bowl of rice for 60 cents? If you add a bowl of soup, then add another 20 cents."
60 cents? It can’t even cover the cost.
Qin Fang couldn’t believe his ears.
Ah Fu must be confused, if she really sets the price at this, she will lose a lot.
Ruan Fu smiled and shook her head, "Qin Fang, think about the stewed rice just
now, I promise you won't lose money." Qin Fang began to recall carefully and suddenly realized something.
Although the stewed rice just now tasted fragrant, it seemed that there were not many pieces of meat?
In fact, there were a lot of potatoes and carrots mixed in it, but the taste was so fragrant that I didn't think so much just now, and finished the bowl of rice with the soup.
Ruan Fu knew that the other party had reacted, and smiled slyly, "Really? The cost is not much at all. Even if it is sold for 60 cents, there is still half of the profit."
