The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 21
Just when Zhong Mozu wanted to stop, Yu Mei had directly bought chicken nuggets from other customers at twice the price...
"Okay, let's go back to'Xingping' first, and slowly crack her fried chicken nuggets! It's really a complicated sauce...I guess you will have to eat at least three more to decipher the deepest hidden flavors!" Liu Subaru Said provocatively.
"You, you!" Zhong Mok opened his eyes and stared at Liu Maoxing and his party.
"Don't worry, we don't bother to use your formula! After we develop something'more' delicious, we will invite you to try it. We can eat two pieces for our tasting! And some petty people It's different." Liu Subaru said, already leaving with someone.
After they left, Zhong Mozuo was angry and anxiously dialed the number of the consultant she hired, "Eiyama Etsuya", and Ruishan's other identity was the ninth member of the Yuanyue Academy Ten Outstanding Council. Xi...
At this time, Chuangzhen and the others didn’t know that Shijie was involved in this matter. Although Liu Maoxing knew a little bit, he was not worried. This kind of business-style duel that requires mass production is completely different from "Shiji". Ruishan can't directly participate, and can only provide some support on business skills!
After returning to "Xingping", Liu Subaru had deciphered all the ingredients used in the chicken nugget sauce, and listed a total of 42 kinds...
"Great! This way we can at least make the same fried chicken as each other!" Tomita said excitedly.
"Impossible," Chuang Zhen said.
"Huh? Why?"
Pleiades Liu rolled his eyes: "Are you going to buy so many ingredients and then use them to make a small store's fried chicken? Both the labor cost and the material cost are not worthwhile!"
"Huh? How did the Mozu House do it?" Tomita wondered.
"It's different. There are more than one hundred branches of Mozu House. They must have their own sauce making workshops. Those small proportions of condiments and spices are all processed into a fixed proportion of pickling powder, and then shipped to each store. , Just simply add water according to the ratio, you can prepare the marinated sauce...This is the advantage of industrial production!" Liu Subaru said.
Indeed, it is obviously unrealistic to just open a fried chicken shop with such complicated sauces!
Chuang Zhen also said, "And what's the point of using the same thing as the other party? I've already said it, you must defeat the other party!"
Yu Mei continued to make up for the knife: "And the other party’s fried chicken is obviously suitable for take-out, and because in the station store, the guests at the nearby station don’t mind to sit two more stops and get off the train one more time to buy, even if the same The product will not be popular on Jinda Avenue."
Tomita has been hit one after another, once again traumatized to the OTZ state where he cannot move...
"Okay! Then it's time to make fried chicken that is better than the other party!" Chuang Zhen decided.
Yu Mei interjected: "It doesn't have to be fried chicken, how about my A5 grade beef? If it is made into a quick steak, it will definitely be very popular, right?"
When Chuang Zhen just thought this was a good idea, Liu Subaru starred: "Don't make trouble, this is not a halberd that only needs to make delicious dishes. Cost must be considered!"
"Cost?" Yu Mei was puzzled.
"Yes, it’s just take-out cooked food. No matter how delicious it is, it’s useless to buy too expensive, because it’s not the same thing anymore! Just like your shamisen steak is not suitable for sale in a shopping street... …The price of fried chicken nuggets at'Baiwei Bird House' is about 30g of chicken nuggets. Depending on the set meal and taste, the price ranges from 100 to 120 yen, ranging from five to ten per box.
The price is just right, and more than 50% of the proposals are basically not competitive and can be rejected directly. If you change to A5 beef, even if the Mito Group does not make money, the cost of the main ingredients alone is already ten times!"Liu Subaru said.
Tomita whispered: "Yes, it is true. I tried to launch the premium Japanese beef bento, but I almost lost my life. I had to eat more than ten portions every night..."
"Please wipe your saliva...how do you feel that you did it on purpose?" Liu Subaru said silently.
Yu Mei held the calculator for a long time, and could only give up the idea of winning with premium beef.
"Sure enough, we still have to find a way on the'fried chicken nuggets'!" Chuang Zhen walked around again.
Liu Subaru added: "There are still many things that need to be paid attention to. The so-called'cost' is not only the cost of materials, but also the cost of time and labor, which must also be taken into consideration!"
"Huh? Time? Manpower?"
"Yes, in the final analysis, it is a take-out cooked food that wants to win sales. It will not work if it is made too slow. In terms of manpower... pure labor, as long as there is a profit, we can hire, but we only have five days... There are four and a half days of continuous rest, and then I will go back! It is necessary to create a cooking that is simple in the process and can be handled by ordinary people after knowing the method, otherwise it is meaningless." Liu Subaru said.
Indeed, in fact, the fried chicken nuggets at "Baiwei Bird House", although the gravy is delicious and easy to carry, they can be eaten as soon as they are heated at home, which will not make the deliciousness go by too much. If it is really rated, it can only be rated as "intermediate five-star".
It doesn't look high, but it is already top-notch in the low-end take-out cooked food!
You must know that in the class of the strict teacher Chapel, who is famous for Yuanyue, the current one-year student only needs "intermediate four-star" cuisine to get an A.
This is very difficult for most of the students of Yuanyue, because French cuisine itself is complicated and extremely technical.
Fast food doesn’t need to be. A person with “instant noodle-level” cooking skills can cook, or make “intermediate five-star” with only a few days of training and mastering the use of factory-line pickling machines and frying pans. The Mozu House fried chicken nuggets, this is where the opponent's advantage lies!
"That is to say, the production process must have been followed by the marinating and frying production process, and the marinated sauce should not be too complicated, and the frying should not be too skillful. It is best to throw it into the timed fryer. After entering, it’s best to get out of the pot on time... It’s too complicated, this guy will definitely not learn it!" Liu Subaru pointed to Tomita.
The president is crying again...
"Then let's do it first! Use these main condiments first and try to imitate the other party's fried chicken!" Chuang Zhen said, pointing to the top condiments listed by Pleiades Liu.
Normally the other party’s chicken should have been marinated in the sauce for about 12 hours, but Chuangzhen used tapping to reduce the marinating time. After two hours, the first test product was completed... …
But after everyone tried it, even Kurase and Tomita could feel it, and it was still a bit worse than the Mozu House.
Chuang Zhen looked at Tomita and Kurase's hesitant expressions, and sighed: "Sure enough, even if ordinary people can't taste the condiments like Ah Xing, they still feel'delicious' and'not so tasty'. The gap between them!"
After busy working till dusk, three batches of test products have been completed, but the effect is still not satisfactory.
You can see the shopping street outside the door. There will still be high school students passing by and participating in club activities, walking past in groups. It seems that there should be a school nearby...
"Chuang Zhen, let's not worry about fried chicken nuggets. After all, the situation in the shopping street is different from the shopping mall in the station. With so many students passing by here, why not try something more distinctive?" Liu Subaru suggested.
"More distinctive... the shopping street... By the way! That's right, unlike the shopping mall in the station, the environment of the shopping street is more suitable for students and office workers passing by after school and get off work, and they can eat snacks while walking!" Chuang Zhen's eyes lit up.
"Then the goal is to switch to snacks that can be eaten while walking? How about buns?" Yu Mei suggested.
It can be seen that Yu Mei has recently studied Chinese cuisine. From the previous "yuxiang shredded pork", Liu Maoxing even wonders if he will eat pork stewed vermicelli someday...
But just like eating "fish-flavored shredded pork" for breakfast is very awkward, and now really making buns and the like is not suitable for such occasions.
At least Liu Subaru and Chuangzhen, as well as Kurase, a member of the "ordinary people", felt that they would not be interested in buns at this time.
"No one wants to eat two steamed buns for snacks on the way from school or get off work? And steamed buns don't meet the problem of'time cost' mentioned at the beginning..." Liu Subaru shook his head.
"For the students, the fried meats that you can see are the most attractive!" Tomita reminded.
Chuang Zhen also said: "Yes, and since the main target is students and office workers, then there is no need to use chicken breasts, to maximize the charm of fried, it really needs fat-rich chicken thighs!"
After that, Chuang Zhen tried some fried chicken thighs with toothpicks, which was convenient to eat while walking, but the effect was not good...
"A Xing? How do you feel?"
"Sure enough, the taste of chicken thighs after being fried should be better than chicken breasts, but in order to meet the theme of eating while walking, the pieces of meat are too small to give people a heavy taste... What do you think?" Liu Subaru asked Kurase who best reflects the taste of ordinary people.
"I also feel that I am in a sense of satisfaction, which is worse than Mozu House...Of course! It's not that Chuangzhen fried chicken is not good! I can eat it all by myself!" Kurase said hurriedly.
In terms of the plot, Liu Subaru only vaguely remembered that at this time, it seemed that Chuang Zhen used some kind of hand-cooked Vietnamese cooking technique, but the specifics were not clear.
Originally, Pleiades Liu still thought that it was enough to guide the idea of Chuangzhen, but now it seems that it is not a simple thing to make Chuangzhen’s inspiration flash. It may even be because of his own changes to the "causal line". It might appear in that kind of cuisine again!
Just now when he saw the students passing by, a ray of light flashed in Liu Subaru's mind, but he did not rush to catch it.
But until the next day, when everyone hadn't figured out a way, Liu Subaru saw that Chuangzhen was not so reliable now, and he couldn't help but recall his flashed "creative"...
