Chapter 136 Secret Weapon
Ruan Fu heard the sound and pushed the door open and walked out.
The person who came was none other than grandma Xie Dongmei, who was holding the jumping and skipping Tiantian beside her.
As soon as she saw Ruan Fu, Tiantian immediately rushed over and said in a baby voice, "Sister Fu, grandma said you opened a shop here and asked us all to come and eat."
Ruan Fu pinched her little face and said with a smile: "You must be hungry. Dinner will be served soon."
It was Xie Dongmei's first time here. She looked around the store and couldn't stop smiling.
"This place is really quite impressive. Are you two the only ones working here?"
Ruan Fu shook her head and said with a chuckle, "Qin Fang hired Sister Wang today. She seems quite skillful. For now, I plan to let her be in charge of serving the dishes. I may hire a cook later."
Xie Dongmei nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Okay, when I'm free, I'll come and help you take a look."
Tiantian was acting like a spoiled child beside him, sniffing her little nose. "Sister Fu, what did you cook? It smells so good."
Oh, I almost forgot about the important matter.
Ruan Fu slapped her head and laughed, "The dishes are ready. What staple food do you want to eat today? Noodles or rice? We originally had steamed buns, but we didn't have time to steam them today."
Is it still possible to choose this way?
Xie Dongmei hesitated for a moment, "Don't tell me to make two dishes specially? Just make whatever you like."
Ruan Fu glanced at Qin Fang beside her and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. I remember grandma likes noodles the most, and Qin Fang and Tiantian like rice the most. Just wait for me, it will be ready soon."
After arriving at the kitchen, Ruan Fu boiled a pot of water and quickly added half a pound of noodles.
After taking it out, pour the braised pork soup on it, sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds on it, and serve it with half a braised egg.
Then he brought it out and said, "Grandma, try this noodle soup. How does it taste?"
It took just over a minute from cooking the noodles to serving them.
The meat is rich in aroma and the soup is delicious, which makes people's appetites whet.
Xie Dongmei took a bite first and nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious. The soup mixed with the noodles tastes really good."
Tiantian widened her eyes and said, "It looks so delicious."
Ruan Fu smiled, and then, like a magic trick, took out two plates of white rice.
It was topped with a spoonful of thick mutton and radish sauce and served with half a braised egg.
"Yours are here too, the delicious rice bowl."
Now even Qin Fang became interested.
"Fuzi, is this the rice bowl you mentioned?"
It doesn't look difficult. Isn't it just making some broth and mixing it 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 shop. Can it attract customers?
Ruan Fu nodded and said proudly, "Yes, today we are having a family meal, so we only made this one dish. When we officially open tomorrow, I will make more dishes. By then, we will have four or five kinds of臊子 alone. We can eat it with noodles or rice. Pair it with some vegetables. It will be nutritious and delicious, and the food will be served quickly."
Tiantian is a child after all. Seeing the delicious food, she couldn't help herself. She grabbed a spoonful and ate it, her eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
"Sister Fu, this is so delicious! I've never eaten rice that smells so good."
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 cold later."
Qin Fang was skeptical and had to take a bite first. His eyes suddenly lit up.
The taste is so good, the mutton is soft and tender, the radish is delicious, and most importantly, the soup is so fragrant.
His previous doubts disappeared, and he impatiently tasted another spoonful.
It’s really...amazing!
"Afu, how can you make it taste like this?"
Ruan Fu blinked and smiled playfully, "Isn't it delicious? I added the fermented black bean paste I made myself."
Just kidding, these are the soybeans I selected myself and carefully pickled for more than half a month. Every time I add a spoonful to the dishes, the taste will instantly improve several times.
As long as you control this core technology, the taste of the restaurant will not change even if you change the chef.
The rich soup was poured over the rice, and Qin Fang took one mouthful after another and couldn't stop.
He quickly finished the whole plate of rice.
He 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 by mixing leftovers with rice.
Ruan Fu corrected him seriously: "This is called rice with toppings, not leftover rice."
Xie Dongmei was amazed. "Fuzi, where do you get these novel ideas? I've never seen this way of eating before."
Ruan Fu took the initiative to explain, "Grandma, I heard about this 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 a lot of people, it may take more than ten minutes to serve a bowl. The characteristic of this rice bowl is that it is served quickly, which can save students even 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've never tasted them before."
This is her secret weapon, integrating the Chinese medicine she learned into her diet, making it into delicious soup and medicinal food.
Students are under great academic pressure and mentally fatigued, so they put wolfberry, angelica, and codonopsis in the soup.
Simmered slowly over low heat, the resulting soup is incredibly delicious and fragrant. Most importantly, it improves eyesight and nourishes the mind, so everyone will love it.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Qin Fang praised it highly after taking a bite.
The chicken soup is rich and fragrant, and the Chinese medicinal flavor is not overpowering. It tastes really good.
Ruan Fu was very happy to receive the praise.
Xie Dongmei looked at the table full of meat and vegetables, but had other concerns.
"Fuzi, this thing with meat and soup, will it be very expensive?"
Qin Fang also thought of this and looked a little worried.
After all, students these days don’t have much money, and a bowl of noodles on the roadside only costs fifty or sixty cents.
But here at Fuzi, the lamb, chicken, plus the labor costs, I'm afraid it would cost several yuan.
By then, no matter how good the food tastes, not many people will eat it because of the high price.
Ruan Fu smiled mysteriously and shook her head. "Grandma, do you think anyone would eat this rice bowl for 60 cents? If you add a bowl of soup, it would cost another 20 cents."
Sixty cents? I can't even recover the cost.
Qin Fang couldn't believe his ears.
Afu must be confused. If she really goes by this price, she will lose a lot of money.
Ruan Fu smiled and shook her head, "Qin Fang, think carefully about the rice bowl you just had. I promise I won't lose anything."
Qin Fang then began to recall carefully and suddenly realized something.
Although the rice bowl just now tasted delicious, it seemed that there were not many pieces of meat?
There were actually a lot of potatoes and carrots mixed in it, but the taste was so delicious that I didn’t think too much about it at first. I just finished the bowl of rice with the soup.
Ruan Fu knew that the other party had realized it and smiled slyly, "Really? The cost is not much at all. Even if it is sold for 60 cents, there is still half profit."
