From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 175 Different Circles

Chu Hao added their contact information one by one.

He was also pulled into a VX group, the organizers of which were the few three-diamond restaurant owners present.

Chu Hao didn't understand very well, was it directly related to his status that more drills were less drilled?
Qin Jiangyi told him: "Most of the evaluation of diamonds is based on contacts and relationships, but the taste itself is also very demanding. You have to satisfy most of the customers and let them buy it, so that you can give you the opportunity to evaluate diamonds, and some of them are one or two. There will always be some frequent customers who are tricky in the restaurant of the diamond, as long as these customers are dissatisfied, you are not qualified to squeeze into the space of the three diamonds, not to mention, no one will come to give you a review."

Chu Hao nodded.

He doesn't have a great need for this.

Whether or not to drill is the judgment of a small group of people. Some people think that they can be critics because they have a deep understanding of food, but in fact, this kind of food critics rely on restaurants to make money. upside down.

Just imagine, without restaurants, where can food critics come from?

Chu Hao swallowed this thought into his stomach.

Those present, except for the restaurant owner, and those gourmets all formed a circle, chatting about their own things, and one could see a trace of gunpowder hidden in it.

Qin Jiangyi took Chu Hao to meet some people.

Also know some things.

They are building a niche food review platform. Some people want to skip the critic system. The customers in it are all people who pursue food. The organizer of this platform is an official person of the Black Pearl evaluation system. The food list of the market.

The Black Pearl was originally a guide proposed by Meituan. The cooking level, experience, inheritance and innovation are their judging criteria. Of course, the judging theme is still anonymously visited, scored and selected by many gourmets.

Black Pearl has been in business for four or five years now, and the market is expanding outwards, gradually spreading to foreign countries.

In fact, this platform is a new standard re-differentiated from the current basis.

In addition to gourmets, there are also a large number of customers who can often eat in high-end restaurants, as well as anchors and up hosts in the food area of ​​major platforms, who occasionally hold several activities to expand the judging system.

Of course, there are also many people in the circle who oppose it.

Some people hope to rely on this guide to break Michelin's judging monopoly in food.

In fact, the system of diamond point evaluation is also a way of publicity to attract customers.

But this approach alone means nothing.

Many hotels and restaurants, such as Shangjing Hotel, disdain to comment on diamonds because they have reached a higher pursuit and status.

However, if there is such a platform, as a barbecue restaurant, if it can be listed on it, the quality of customers it attracts will definitely be very high.

It is also a great help to Chu Hao's barbecue restaurant.

But after thinking about it, it's actually quite a headache. It's hard to satisfy a small number of customers in the store now. Their mouths are full of mouths. Every time they need Chu Hao to personally take action to buy them. There are too many customers like this, and Chu Hao also feels a lot of pressure.

The main reason is that Chu Hao's dream of laying flat dividends will encounter obstacles before the apprentices leave their teachers.

So although he was brought into the circle by Qin Jiangyi, he did not participate in their platform activities, and this online platform has not yet been completed.

Having said that, Chu Hao felt that if he couldn't produce something real, the result would be nothing but nothing.

"I always feel that these people are not very reliable."

Chu Hao sighed, and expressed his feelings to Qin Jiangyi, "I hardly hear anyone talking about food, and even the chef is thinking about how to get the qualification for diamond evaluation, how to match up with the critics, and how to get along with the critics. Some people think about how to make more money."

Qin Jiangyi: "Chu Hao, by now you should know how special you are among this group of people."

Chu Hao scratched his head.

Am I special?

As far as opening a shop is concerned, what Chu Hao cares about is how to make a good barbecue and how to make a better breakfast.

He focuses on production techniques, recipe recipes, and various gourmet techniques.

Instead of really putting making money as the first priority.

One is because Chu Hao has a system, and the existence of the system determines which direction Chu Hao will go.

The second is because Chu Hao really doesn't know how to make money, and the way to do it is too complicated, and he is satisfied with Qin Jiangyi's help.

Qin Jiangyi smiled and said: "It's okay. If you focus on doing your own thing well, you will make money naturally. They don't distinguish between priorities, but you have to be clear about it. Whether it is a barbecue restaurant or a breakfast restaurant you run, they are all Based on the customers you attract based on the taste and craftsmanship of your home, the reputation of Chu Shi is also slowly accumulated in this process, and most of them are promoted and touted, and the taste of their food itself may not be there. How awesome."

Even Qin Jiangyi felt the same.

Some people present, abandoning the essence and learning the dross of foreign countries, turned it upside down.

Xiaguo cuisine covers a myriad of flavors, but looking around, the new generation of high-end restaurants in China are all Michelin routines.

The system is really powerful.

Also very profitable.

But... Xia Kingdom's own food ecology is not suitable for it.

How do you present a plate of twice-cooked pork in the Michelin way?

The bigger the plate the better?Less food is better?Is this advanced?

No matter how innovative you are with twice-cooked pork, it can only taste like twice-cooked pork, otherwise it will go astray, and the innovations that come out of the euphemistic name are not necessarily better than the things passed down from the ancestors.

But that's not to say innovation is wrong.

If you really want to innovate, you can't build a car behind closed doors. This is the same as Xiaguo culture, adopting an eclectic and backward compatible method.

Xiaguo's gastronomy system is too big, innovation is not about getting out of this system, but being compatible with other systems.

And to accomplish this, the most important thing is not to lose craftsmanship and integrity.

Just like Chu Hao's bacon factory, he insists on using no additives and using more costly natural cycle production, which is a backbone.

And now most people.

As long as they have money to make, they can do anything.

Qin Jiangyi brought Chu Hao here.

One is to let Chu Hao get in touch with the gourmet circle, let him see the current ecology, and broaden his horizons.

The second is to remind Chu Hao, just read it, and it is more important to insist on yourself. There is really nothing good in this circle.

Chu Hao also discovered this.

So at the end of the party, when it was getting late, Chu Hao ate food by himself and stopped participating in their story meeting.

But today is not without gains.

At least Chu Hao can keep abreast of the dynamics of the food industry in the future, and it is good to gain more knowledge. If he wants to build a restaurant in the future, then these knowledge will play a key role, instead of being blinded by the time and not even knowing where the starting line is. Can't find it.

Seeing this, Li Changqing sneaked up next to Chu Hao, "What's wrong? Are you hit?"

Chu Hao rolled his eyes, "What hurts me?"

Li Changqing said with a smile: "The people present are all successful people in the catering industry, but you are just the owner of a barbecue restaurant."

Chu Hao asked: "Then why didn't you go? You were also hit?"

Li Changqing chuckled: "I'm just a cook, who cares about me except you?"

Chu Hao has black lines all over his head,
Good guy, if you say that, I don't want to talk to you anymore.

He turned his head away, picked up a chopstick dish, and put it in Lu Chenyu's bowl next to him.

Li Changqing smiled and said: "In fact, we are all different people. They are reviewing diamond restaurants, we are private restaurants, and you are in public catering. There are also a group of people who try to do food reviews. Today this time The party, strictly speaking, is not the same circle."

Chu Hao nodded. It is actually true to say so.

Everyone is not in the same system.

But thinking about it this way, Chu Hao stood out from the crowd.

Public catering.

They don't like it.

But in fact, the essence of catering is to allow everyone to eat the best food, instead of enclosing a group of people to serve these customers well.

Anyway, it's all about making money, it depends on whose money you are making.

Diamond Restaurant earns money from the rich among the masses, earns the fame and prestige from critics, and earns connections and status in the system.

Private restaurants are more of a gathering of friends. They make money from acquaintances and acquaintances of acquaintances. They use the highest quality dishes to attract this group of people. Its essence is to make the circle more sticky and let people have more. Opportunities bring resources in the circle together.

You often eat together, chat and drink, and these things cannot be avoided. As everyone knows, Xia people like to discuss business at the dinner table, and in these private restaurants, countless business and cooperation are facilitated every day.

When people talk about business, they like to talk in a closed, quiet and elegant environment, rather than in the diamond review restaurant.

People like to talk in a small private courtyard, in a secret corner that is not known by others, rather than in a noisy environment where chefs and waiters are always interrupted and explained.

Different.

totally different.

And mass catering...

In the eyes of more people, it is to earn hard money.

You have to always consider cost and taste, and the supply of ingredients cannot always be guaranteed. You have to entertain a large number of guests every day, and you are exhausted. Not many can persist.

In fact, what Chu Hao saw was that in several snack streets near his home, he could see new faces every week.

Here, newcomers replace old ones every week.

There are many bosses who give up and go home because they can't do it anymore.

And what about continuing to do it?

It is nothing more than renting or buying a shop to open a restaurant. If you are lucky, you can get income from repeat customers. If you are not lucky, you will not even have repeat customers.

Mass catering is a big wave washing sand.

It's a struggle.

There are not so many elegant explanations, and there is no quiet and elegant environment. You have to face countless emergencies, which is even more difficult.

Thinking about it now, Chu Hao felt like crying.

Look at other bosses who have many restaurants under their name. Their daily life is relaxed and comfortable. All they need to do is master the general direction of business operations, ensure the stability of supply, ensure the ecological operation of the restaurant, and ensure profitability.

And he...

I'm going to be exhausted day after day, and I'm both a cook and a boss.

numb.

……

After eating, Chu Hao put a coat on Lu Chenyu, and took her little hand to the door.

"Do you want to continue entertaining them?" Chu Hao asked.

"Well, I'll go back later, you go back first."

"OK, let's go first."

Before getting into the car, Chu Hao didn't forget to say: "In a few days, I'm going to launch soup and food, so I'll test the water first."

"Have you found the source of Chinese herbal medicine?" Qin Jiangyi asked.

"found it."

"Okay." Qin Jiangyi looked at him and said, "Chu Hao, don't forget what I told you, stick to your own path, this is the most suitable path for you at present."

Chu Hao smiled slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, daughter-in-law, let's go!"

"Jiang Yi, let's go! Goodbye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

On the way home, Chu Hao called his mother, "Mom, can I ask you to help me at the breakfast shop in a few days?"

He had already told his mother about the pig blood soup.

Jiang Qin expressed her willingness to help.

Now that she is retired and stays at home all day, she is almost dead. Now that her son needs her help, Jiang Qin will naturally do her best.

Isn't it pig blood soup?

When it comes to breakfast, Jiang Qin is good at too many tricks.

And even grandpa said that my mother was talented at learning crafts and learned quickly. God knows what other tricks she had hidden.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Hao turned his head to look at the co-pilot, Lu Chenyu was playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

He smiled and patted Lu Chenyu's stomach, "Small belly?"

"I'm here!"

Lu Chenyu chuckled, and his belly suddenly bulged out into a round ball, which was very cute.

Then the two of them laughed in the car...

……

It didn't take long.

Chu Shi has launched a new breakfast twist, pig blood soup.

15 yuan a bowl.

Guests can choose their own side dishes, wolfberry leaf clears liver and improves eyesight, motherwort promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, pearl cauliflower clears heat and detoxifies.

Chu Hao prepared three large pots, and he would grab whatever the guests wanted, and put it in the hot soup and cook it mixed with pig blood and pigs. For soup food, the soup is the most important part.

Chu Hao called his mother, and he became a small soup cook, while his mother became a master chef, checking the quality of the soup every day.

Use big sticks of pork bone to make soup, basically start work after the barbecue shop closes in the early morning, and it will be just right in the morning. It is rich and delicious, with a mellow taste. There are small transparent oil bubbles floating on the soup, and the guests drink it early in the morning. Rolling pig's blood soup, eating a few pieces of pig's blood will make your stomach feel comfortable all day long.

The old men like to eat it with burritos and steamed buns in the soup, and some people will serve it with a plate of dumplings, or steamed stuffed buns with vermicelli, which is very refreshing.

Every morning, you can hear the sound of guests drinking soup.

Making soup takes a lot of time.

But with the help of his mother, the performance shown by Taste is very stable, and it gives people a sense of intimacy.

The master will know if there is any.

Within a few days, the sales of pig blood soup suddenly became the most popular breakfast in the store. The first thing [-]% of the customers said when they entered the store was to ask for a bowl of pig blood soup. This filled the gap between Chu Shi’s lack of soup for breakfast. Many customers prefer to stay in the store and enjoy it slowly. At least in terms of proportion, customers are willing to spend time in the breakfast bar, drinking soup and watching the busy traffic on the streets in the early morning.

The aroma turned into white smoke billowing up.

Chu Hao's points also increased by 50w as he wished.

It's time to draw...
