Starting from winning the food competition

Chapter 98 Preparing to launch the two-star package
Prepare the raw materials, and after a while, the time came to 10 o'clock in the morning.

Lin Nanyun couldn't wait to say: "Brother, it's 10 o'clock, shouldn't it be time to cook?"

"Okay, cook, do it now."

Seeing Lin Nanyun's impatient look, Lin Beiyang started cooking.

The first dish is Kung Pao Chicken, and the second dish is cold cucumber.

The second dish is a cold dish, which only needs to be mixed with cold, and it will not take too much time.

Kung Pao Chicken will be more prepared.

Without hesitation, I started to prepare the ingredients for the dishes.

Kung Pao Chicken, the main ingredient is naturally chicken.

Lin Beiyang chose chicken drumsticks.

Compared with chicken breast, he thinks chicken thigh is more tender and tastes better in terms of taste and texture.

Not only do the two of them choose chicken drumsticks when they eat, but they also choose this part when cooking later. In any case, they definitely want to bring the best experience to the guests.

Of course, different masters use different raw materials.

And when you make it at home, the taste will be different. It still depends on your own preferences to decide which part to use is better.

The first step is to remove the bone from the chicken legs.

After deboning, pat the chicken with the back of a knife.

The chicken after patting will be softer, and it will be more flavorful when it is marinated later.

It goes without saying that the taste will be better.

After beating almost, the chicken thighs can be cut into evenly sized cubes.

Cut evenly and the flavor will be more even as it cooks.

Originally, Lin Beiyang's knife skills were relatively average, but since he became a one-star chef, his knife skills have greatly improved.

Although the improvement effect is not particularly obvious, it is much better than before.

When the level of the chef is higher later, the knife skills needless to say, will definitely reach a very good state.

After cutting, the next step is the important part, pickling.

Add cooking wine, a little salt, and starch to the diced chicken legs, and grasp them evenly for sizing.

Then put the sugar, vinegar, light soy sauce, and salt into the container and mix thoroughly, add the onion, ginger, and garlic, and add an appropriate amount of water to make a sauce.

Then marinate for a while.

It feels almost delayed, so start the pot and burn the oil.

When the oil temperature is about [-]% hot, put the diced chicken legs marinated at the beginning, stir-fry, add peppercorns, and stir-fry dried chilies to give out the aroma.

Then add the onion, ginger, garlic, and the prepared sauce.

Now you can continue to stir fry.

When the stir fry is almost done, put the peanuts in.

The peanuts are peeled and fried in advance. After putting them down, stir fry them a few times. After the seasoning is fully integrated with the chicken, it can be out of the pan.

Lin Nanyun nodded slightly after putting it out of the pot.

Then he said: "Brother, it turns out that this is a two-star dish. It does not look as good as the first five-star dish, but compared with ordinary dishes, it can still be seen at a glance. In addition, it is slightly inferior in other aspects."

Lin Beiyang nodded and said: "Yes, after all, it is only a two-star dish. If it can be the same as a five-star dish, then it should be a five-star dish, not a two-star dish."

The stars of the dishes are different, and the fried ones will naturally be very different.

If they are all the same, there will be no stars.

"Okay, let's make the next dish quickly, so we can taste it."

"Okay, just wait."

Needless to say the second course.

Basically will do.

That is to shoot cucumbers.

Lin Beiyang prepared a total of two cucumbers.

First remove the skin.

Of course, it is generally made at home, and it is simply peeled after washing, because eating with the skin will have a different taste.

It's all about how you do it.

But in restaurants, they are basically peeled.

After peeling, cut off both ends, otherwise it will taste bitter.

Once the dish has a bitter taste, it will affect the whole dish.

After removing, pat the cucumber flat with a knife, and then cut into pieces.

After cutting, add salt, light soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, minced garlic, and monosodium glutamate into the bowl, and stir well.

At this time, you can fry some peanuts again.

After putting it in the general cold, the taste is also very good.

After frying, put the peanuts into the cold cucumber, and finally add pepper oil and green onion, and stir again.

This very simple cold salad is ready, and it can also serve as an appetizer in summer.

After finishing the two dishes, Lin Beiyang smiled and said, "Okay, put two bowls of rice and prepare to eat."

"okay."

After the two dishes were served, two servings of rice were also served on the table.

Then the two sat down, ready to eat.

Because it is eaten by two people, it is not served according to the way of the dinner plate.

Just like eating at home, it is served on a plate.

This is a specially purchased dinner plate, which is used for two people to eat. After all, there is no need for them to use the same dinner plate as the guests.

Looking at the two dishes on the table, Lin Nanyun took a sharp breath of the wafting smell.

"Brother, even if it's a two-star dish, the rich aroma can't be stopped, and you can smell it right away. The smell is very good. I believe it will be as good as the one you tasted."

"Just take a bite and you'll know what it tastes like."

Lin Beiyang pointed to the two dishes in front of him and said.

Meaning let her taste it first.

"Okay, then I won't be polite." After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to taste Kung Pao Chicken.

At the moment of entrance, even though he had already tasted the five-star dishes and knew what the two-star dishes might taste like, Lin Nanyun was still surprised when he actually tasted them.

Although it does not have the strong feeling brought by the five-star dishes, it is easy to taste and the taste is not simple.

After eating a few mouthfuls of chicken, he turned his attention to the cucumber salad.

He took a bite without hesitation.

At this time, Lin Nanyun nodded again.

It can be seen that he is also very satisfied with this dish.

After tasting all the two dishes, she put down her chopsticks and couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"Brother, to be honest, I didn't expect much from the taste of the two-star dishes at first, thinking that they were quite different from the five-star dishes, but after tasting it, I realized that although there is a difference in taste, the two-star dishes are not the simplified version of the five-star set meals. It feels like another new experience to me. In short, it’s still an indescribable feeling. Anyway, these two dishes are fine, especially in this season. I believe that the guests will definitely not Disappointed, and even scrambling to taste it.”

Lin Nanyun said a lot in one breath.

To sum up, the two-star dishes taste equally good, exceeding expectations.

For such a reaction, Lin Beiyang knew it was normal.

Because it is a five-star dish that I tasted at the beginning, if I try a two-star dish now, the feeling will naturally be different.

"That's fine. Since you are satisfied, there is no problem. You can launch it."

Lin Beiyang didn't taste it, but he had already made a decision.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Nanyun nodded slightly and said, "Brother, anyway, I think it can be released, there is no problem."

"Okay, let's eat now. As for this matter, we should find time to discuss it in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Then the two began to eat.

After eating, it is naturally ready to open for business.

The noon time passed by, and soon came the afternoon rest time.

The total number of packages today is 15, and no changes have been made, and there is no need to change.

It opened for a total of three hours at noon, and a total of 10 sets were sold, and the remaining 5 sets were not sold.

The two were not too worried about this.

Today is not a weekend, but a normal working day, so there are still more customers entering the store to taste.

It won't say that there is something that can't be sold out.

"Brother, have you decided to launch a two-star package tomorrow?"

After packing up everything in the hotel, Lin Nanyun had time to ask.

Lin Beiyang nodded immediately.

"Of course it has been confirmed. The two-star set meal will be launched tomorrow. After all, the two of us have tasted the taste and there is no problem. If this is the case, why not launch it earlier. This is definitely a good thing for the restaurant."

Lin Nanyun actually just wanted to make sure, and had no other ideas.

Tomorrow's launch can be said to be a very certain thing.

Then she asked again: "Brother, how should the price of the two-star package be priced?"

Lin Beiyang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have already thought about the price. The two-star dishes are the same as the five-star dishes. They are both meat and vegetables. Although there may be some differences and differences in raw material costs, the differences are not the same. It will be too big, so it can be completely ignored, since in this case, the price of the two-star package is 108 yuan a piece.”

Regarding the package price, Lin Beiyang has long considered it.

So without the slightest hesitation, I made an offer directly.

If this two-star dish is composed of two meat dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken and Yuxiang Pork Shredded, the price may be slightly higher.

If the two dishes are vegetarian, such as mapo tofu and cold cucumber, then the price can be set slightly lower.

Of course, this kind of idea is only a preliminary prediction. The specific pricing will depend on the launch of other packages.

In fact, Lin Beiyang's more consideration is to directly set a price for all the packages.

But in the end it didn't work out.

Although the final taste is very good, there are actually various differences in terms of raw materials, cooking time, and cooking difficulty to set the same price.

In short there are good and bad.

Hearing this, Lin Nanyun nodded slightly, and then said: "Brother, I think the price of 108 yuan is very suitable, and it is 80 yuan cheaper than the five-star package. Although it does not seem to be particularly large, it is because the quantity is relatively small. If there are more meals in the store, the gap will be very obvious.”

"I also thought about it at the beginning. The price of the package is expected to be between 90 yuan and 120 yuan. Because the span is 30 yuan, it is actually a bit difficult to determine, but the 108 yuan you mentioned is just right. Almost between the two prices, I think it can be very suitable."

Regarding the price, the two did not discuss for long.

One very simple reason is that Lin Beiyang has thought about the price in advance.

So there is nothing to discuss.

So, turned to other topics.

"Then in terms of publicity, should we wait until this afternoon or wait until the evening before publicizing it?"

Lin Nanyun also wanted to know this.

If there is no publicity, then the customer will not know that the two-star set meal has been launched until the customer enters the store tomorrow.

For new customers, there is actually not much difference between the two-star package and the five-star package.

The price is more than one hundred yuan.

The 80 yuan gap is actually easy to be directly ignored.

Therefore, in the initial stage of the launch of the two-star package, there is a high probability that it will still rely on the support of old customers.

The best way to get old customers to support is to promote directly.

For every customer who enters the store, Lin Beiyang will add a WeChat contact information.

The main purpose lies here.

Because as the reputation increases, there may be various changes in the restaurant behind.

If it's a small change, I don't care, maybe the guests won't feel it.

But if it is a particularly big change, many people will not know it if it is not notified in advance.wait
By the time they knew it, it was estimated that a huge change had taken place.

Of course, Lin Beiyang also thought about this.

Without hesitation, he said again: "Let's forget about it for now, and we still need to open tonight. If it is sent out now, there may be a lot of information in this regard, and some customers will even come over directly. In addition, tomorrow's needs to be re-opened." Make plans so it's a good night."

Tomorrow, of course, we will have to re-arrange and plan, especially in terms of the number of set meals.

Don't think about 15 copies, it must not be enough.

So how many copies are enough, you must think carefully before you can determine it.

There is another thing, and that is about whether you can accept an appointment.

After all, it is impossible to cook a particularly large number of times every day.

If you don't make an appointment, there will be no chance to taste after some guests come.

But if the appointment is accepted, how to accept it is also a problem.

So it seems that it is very simple to launch a new set menu, just hang out and wait for customers to enter the store.

The actual situation is somewhat troublesome.

Regarding these issues, it is actually somewhat difficult for Lin Beiyang to think about them alone.

After all, there are many things to do.

Now that two people are discussing, not only will the speed be faster, but the efficiency will be higher.

Anyone who has an idea can express it immediately, and then discuss the idea, if it is possible, it will be passed directly, if it is not, it will be directly rejected, and if there is a chance, it can be improved.

In this way, the two of them discussed the seemingly innocuous question for two hours.

When I was busy until four o'clock, it was time to eat again.

So suspend the discussion first, wait until after the meal, seeing that it is not yet business hours, continue to discuss the remaining issues.

The discussion between the two of them was almost over when a customer entered the shop.

Of course, the results of the discussion are almost the same and can basically be confirmed, and there is nothing else to discuss.

The situation in the hotel at night was exactly as Lin Beiyang had imagined.

Because it is a working day, the business has not been affected in any way.

At 7:[-] in the evening, the last two remaining packages were also sold out.

Now you only need to wait, after the two guests in the restaurant finish their meal, they can close the door.

Anyway, the time will definitely not exceed 8 o'clock.
