Stall setting starts from Malatang

213 Chapter 212, Hermes in the barbecue world 3
"The grilled rice cake with squid is ready."

After the two talked about it, Tian Tian brought over a large iron plate, the main ingredients were squid silk, rice cakes and onions.

"It smells so good! There are so many squid!"

It's not that Lin Xiaojian has never eaten fried rice cakes before. This is the first time he has baked rice cakes with squid.

The common fried rice cakes here in Feng County are fried rice cakes with Chinese cabbage, mung bean sprouts or garlic. If the conditions are good, they will put shredded pork and sausages. Some shops will put a few clams to enhance the freshness. The pot is full of squid, at least dozens of squid shreds, I have never heard of it.

"I don't know how much this dish costs."

he thought to himself.

"This is his family's specialty. Instead of grilling directly with fire, the dishes are put on an iron plate, which is actually similar to Teppanyaki."

Seeing that Lin Xiaojian looked like he hadn't eaten, Mayor Lu explained to him.

"..."

Lin Xiaojian always thought that Mayor Lu was not a foodie, but judging by the way he judges things now, he is obviously a professional foodie.

He is indeed not very interested in eating, as Lin Xiaojian guessed.Since taking up the leadership position, there are simply not too many kinds of banquets, especially when the end of the year is approaching, there are dinners every day for more than a month, and there is no time to spend time with family at home.

However, BBQ is different every day. He and his boss Ah Yue are distant relatives. It can be said that they grew up eating snacks. Naturally, they are familiar with his family's dishes.

"Okay, I'll try."

Lin Xiaojian took apart the disposable chopsticks, clamped a piece of onion, a piece of rice cake, and a piece of squid tentacle together, and put them into his mouth at the same time.

The fragrance of onions, the freshness of squid, and the glutinousness of rice cakes. As the teeth chew, the brain perceives the perfect fusion of the three ingredients of land and sea. It is rich in nutritional value and is very happy. It secretes exciting hormones to reward them, indicating that they will eat more in the future. Eat this type of fresh food.

The common rice cakes here in Feng County are oval and section by section. They are from the same school as the famous Cicheng rice cake maker, and they are cut into thin slices when cooking.The rice cakes of squid grilled rice cakes are rectangular strips that look like chopsticks, which is more delicious when stir-fried in the words of Mr. Ayue.

"Isn't it because this rice cake is cheap?"

Lin Xiaojian complained inwardly. He had bought both kinds of rice cakes. The vendors in the vegetable market called the long strips of rice cakes machine-made rice cakes, and the price was slightly cheaper than the oval water-milled rice cakes.

But people who barbecue every day are, in Mayor Lu’s words, the light of Beishan. They shouldn’t use poor ingredients for a few dollars a pound, right?This unassuming grilled squid rice cake costs 60 yuan a portion!

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Xiaojian looked at the price list wrapped on the table with scotch tape, and was speechless at the "sky-high price" on it.

Grilled Squid Rice Cake: 60
Razor clams: 50
Clams: 40
Pig brain: 30
Clams: 50
Duck tongue: 100
Baked eggs with minced meat: 25
Pipi Shrimp: 120
……

"This price..."

The rice cake costs three yuan a catty, the onion costs two yuan a catty, and the squid silk is not expensive. The cost of this plate of materials is ten yuan, and it sells for 60 yuan?Lin Xiaojian deeply felt that poverty limited his imagination.

Although this grilled squid rice cake is delicious, and the squid tendrils are very elastic, but the price is too... 10 yuan for 30 yuan, right?Is the extra 30 yuan the legendary IQ tax?To put it bluntly, it is called the premium of the online celebrity shop?
Lin Xiaojian now has some money in his hands, and when he goes out to eat noodles, he will generously add short ribs or beef offal, unlike before when he had to struggle for a long time to add eggs.But that's not how money is spent!His consumption concept is still very traditional, and his willingness to pay high prices is based on value for money, and he is very disgusted with abstract fees such as premiums or service fees.

"what about the taste?"

Mayor Lu ate with relish, and asked politely.Because of too much entertainment, he has become used to eating four or five meals a day, and each meal is half full. Sometimes there are endless dinners, and he can eat from 6 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning.

"The taste is good, the squid is quite fresh, but, just...the price is a bit expensive."

Lin Xiaojian raised his head and spoke the truth.If someone else asked this question, he would definitely not talk about the price, it's too vulgar.But Town Elder Lu always chatted with him about management-related topics, and he wanted to hear the leaders' far-sighted views on this aspect.

"It's quite expensive. Those Douyin anchors visited his booth, and the comments under the video they shot were mixed."

"But this doesn't affect him sticking to his own style. As long as you cook delicious food, no matter how expensive the price is, people will still eat it. The dishes cooked by famous chefs cost only a few hundred yuan, and a small spoon is only used for plates. It’s bigger than a washbasin, and it didn’t stop them from earning money.”

Judging from Mayor Lu's tone, he affirmed the idea of ​​barbecue every day.

In other words, the market recognizes his business model.If you can only sell for a few hundred yuan a day and cannot make ends meet, then the boss must have found a way to change it. With the shelf life of his dishes, selling 500 yuan a night is a waste of work.

Lin Xiaojian looked at Mayor Lu suspiciously. Is this stall as exaggerated as he said?If he is as well-known as he said, can he be reduced to set up a stall in a corner like Beishan?

Although Lin Xiaojian often uses Beishan Night Market as an infant to cheer himself up and believes that the future can be expected, but he has to admit that restaurants with real strength will definitely choose to go to towns or counties. It is not comparable to the foot of this mountain.

"Grilled eggplant, baked eggs with minced meat."

While he was meditating, two more dishes were served, both on iron plates, which were different from traditional barbecue.

The grilled eggplant looked unremarkable, with no dazzling red peppers, just an unpretentious layer of minced meat and minced garlic.The eggplant is deep-fried and then grilled on the grill. The meat inside has been fried until it is overcooked, almost like a paste, so rotten that it can be eaten with a spoon.Chopsticks picked up a mass of tomato puree, the aroma of meat, eggplant and garlic mixed together, ushered in a taste carnival on the tip of the tongue.

"Baked eggs with minced meat? Isn't this steamed eggs with minced meat? One egg, a few spoonfuls of minced meat, 10 yuan is too expensive in a fast food restaurant, and 25 here? Is this robbery?"

Every time a dish was served, Lin Xiaojian's spirit of complaining was blazing, almost gushing out.He didn't know if those customers who heard that he sold a soup base for 30 yuan had the same mentality. Anyway, he is now forcibly controlling himself not to call this shop a black shop.

His invincible devil is expensive, who said it was produced by the system?But having said that, the only soup base in his stall is expensive, and other dishes are at market prices.Unlike this Tiantian BBQ, the price of none of the dishes is normal.

If grilled rice cakes with squid and razor clams are not available at ordinary barbecue stalls, you can be forgiven for selling them at a higher price. After all, rare things are more expensive.But the eggplant is 25, the middle wing is 15, and the roasted cauliflower is 4, which is unbearable. 4 yuan is enough to buy a large group of cauliflower in the vegetable market, and I am afraid that it will not be sold out here overnight.
