"Yo, my son can cook."

As soon as Zhao's father and Zhao's mother came home, they saw the plates on the table. At a glance, they saw Zhao An's marinated chicken feet, minced chicken chili sauce, and freshly cooked vegetarian dishes.

As for Ji Jiashu, he had already had dinner and went home after six o'clock.Zhao's father and Zhao's mother will come back after seven o'clock, if Ji Jiashu has been waiting, it will be too late to go home, Zhao An is worried.In addition, Ji Jiashu still needs to practice piano at night, so Zhao An mentioned to feed Ji Jiashu and let him go back first.

"An'an, why are you thinking about braised chicken feet?"

After Zhao An sat down, he poured some white wine, then picked up the chicken feet and started.Father Zhao seldom drinks alcohol, but chicken feet are a perfect accompaniment, and Father Zhao couldn't hold back.

The couple sat at the table and praised Zhao An while picking up dishes.

However, Zhao An was not very satisfied with the stewed chicken feet and minced chicken chili sauce he made.The marinating time of the chicken feet is still a little longer, which makes the chicken feet too soft and glutinous. It is okay if you eat it by yourself, but if you sell it, the appearance is slightly insufficient.

As for minced chicken chili sauce, Zhao An also felt that the taste was a little lacking.If it's used directly for dinner, it's okay.But if tasted alone, there is no texture.But Zhao An didn't know which step went wrong.

Zhao An directly asked his own question.First of all, for the problem of chicken feet, Zhao's mother directly pointed out that it was a problem of marinating time.

But I have obviously shortened the time for marinating.

"Your chicken feet are not authentic native chickens at first glance. This kind of chicken that has eaten feed has a completely different taste from the bones and chicken skin, and it is easier to taste than regular chicken feet."

Mother Zhao didn't have time to answer, but Father Zhao gave the answer first.He is very familiar with all kinds of ingredients, how all kinds of poultry and livestock are raised, Father Zhao can taste it in one bite.

Therefore, mother Zhao does not need to go to the market to buy ingredients every morning, and father Zhao can find the ingredients that mother Zhao needs most by himself.

Seeing Father Zhao take the initiative to raise this issue, Zhao An said, "I see. These are indeed not raised chickens."

"It's better to have native chicken."

"But this one is cheap."

Mother Zhao said with a smile: "You child, a few chicken feet can be much cheaper."

Here we go, let's cut to the chase.

"These chicken feet are only two yuan and five pounds. It can be much cheaper."

"Two yuan and five?" Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were stunned by the price. Now the chicken feet in the farmer's market must be sold for more than four yuan per catty.

"How can it be so cheap? But the number of chicken feet is still too small, otherwise we can braise the chicken feet." Zhao's mother showed obvious regret on her face.

"No, there are a lot of this kind of chicken wings in the mall."

Zhao An described in detail the experience he had at Renmin Mall today.Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were a little moved. After estimating the price, Zhao's father made a decision and said:

"I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow to have a look. If possible, I'll buy some and come back to try."

"Then what happened to the chili sauce?" Zhao An continued to ask.

"Did you mince the chicken breast after cooking it?" Mother Zhao said after tasting the minced chicken in her mouth.

Zhao An nodded, and Zhao's mother explained the reason: "You didn't clean up the water, you need to let it dry out."

Chicken breast meat is inherently loose, especially this kind of raised chicken breast meat.There are a lot of gaps between the chicken fibers, which absorb water during the boiling process.During the frying process, the contact between the hot oil and the chicken breast will be blocked, so there is no fried dryness.

Zhao An silently kept all these words in his heart, because he still knew too little about cooking.However, Zhao An did not consider specializing in culinary arts.

Food is such a subjective thing, the so-called sweetness of A, and the □□ of B.Zhao An didn't seem to spend all his energy on this.

"Mom, do it tomorrow and show me."

"Okay, kid's father, when you go to the supermarket tomorrow, buy another piece of chicken breast."

"Didn't a customer want to buy our chili sauce before? Can we sell this?" Zhao An proposed his long-standing plan.

Zhao's mother thought about the texture and taste of the minced chicken chili sauce, nodded and said, "Try tomorrow."

"Boss, how do you sell your stewed vegetables?" A customer came to Ye's secret stewed car stall. He had heard this stewed vegetables recommended by his neighbor, and it was his first time to come to the stewed vegetables stand.

Mother Zhao told the guests all the prices of her stewed vegetables.

"Why are your chicken feet so cheap? Don't be fresh."

Customers see that the stewed chicken feet on the stewed vegetables stand are actually cheaper than the raw chicken feet bought at the farmers’ market, so they naturally suspect that these are stale chicken feet.

"Don't worry about our stewed vegetables, they are absolutely fresh. If you have any questions, you can come to me tomorrow! We just bought cheap chicken feet, but there is absolutely no problem." Zhao's mother promised confidently.

"Then give me half a catty of chicken feet."

Seeing that the chicken feet are so cheap, customers are still a little moved. Indeed, judging from the color and aroma, there is no problem.

The guest had just left, and another guest came over, and he didn't choose to say, "Boss, a catty of chicken feet."

"okay."

The chicken feet on the stewed vegetable stand were almost gone, so Mother Zhao took out a large iron basin from the bottom of the cart, which was full of stewed chicken feet.The light yellow chicken feet are shiny with oil, piled up in a pile of hills.

Recently, the stewed chicken feet have become the most popular dish of "Yip's Secret Stew". It's not that the stewed chicken feet are better than other dishes, the main reason is that they are cheaper.

As braised meat, it costs three yuan per catty. Everyone thinks it is very cost-effective, and they feel that they are earning money when they buy it. There are many customers who come here to buy chicken feet every day.

The chicken feet in the mall are packed in ten catties, but ten catties are not enough to sell.In addition to Zhao Da's stewed vegetable stall on North Street, Zhao's mother has stewed three boxes of chicken feet every day in recent days.

After Zhao's father brought back a whole box of frozen chicken feet from the People's Market for the first time, Zhao An gave advice to his father.

The price of the chicken feet sold in the mall must have been raised once, why don't we go directly to the manufacturer.Anyway, our family uses so many chicken feet every day, we can buy them directly.

There was no phone number of the manufacturer on the carton, so Father Zhao looked for people everywhere to ask about the dealer, and finally found the largest refrigerated warehouse in Rongcheng before contacting the dealer.

After a series of price negotiations, the deal was finally settled at a price of 21 yuan per box, three boxes per day, and the other party was also responsible for delivery.This reduced the cost of Ye's secret brine's chicken feet again.

Even if other stewed vegetable stalls found imported white feather frozen chicken feet on the market, Zhao An and his family were still able to maintain a very competitive price.

Coupled with the taste and hygiene of Yip's Secret Bittern, there is no reason not to choose Yip's Secret Bittern.

But Zhao An knows that this is definitely not the lowest price. Although the other party is now supplying goods stably, the calculation is still based on the retail price.And now there is only this one frozen chicken feet in the market, and the other party is in a monopoly position and can set prices freely.

In the future, with the increase of chain stores and frozen food suppliers, the price of food raw materials can be further reduced.

However, what Zhao An thought in his heart was that if he could establish a real food supply, transportation, and sales chain, he could truly maximize his profits.It would be even better if you can control the pricing power... These are still too far away.

In addition to chicken feet, Yip's Secret Brine has a new product, which is minced chicken chili sauce sold separately.

Minced chicken chili sauce has been improved by Mrs. Zhao, and there is an additional drying process after boiling.It is then minced and dried again.Let the minced chicken present a fluffy state, somewhat like the famous snack meat floss.

After adding chili sauce, the taste will not change much because of the chili oil.The minced meat that can be discerned with the tip of the tongue, the medium spicy and slightly sweet chili sauce, the two are perfectly blended together.

Because of the addition of a large amount of chicken breast, vegetable oil and ingredients, as well as the relatively complicated production process, the price of minced chicken chili sauce is higher than that of trotters.

But the minced chicken chili sauce is still very popular.Whether it is used directly with white rice, as a dipping sauce with steamed buns, or as a seasoning when cooking, it is a very good choice.

Moreover, buying one or two taels of chili sauce each time is enough for a long time. Many customers like to buy a little chicken chili sauce after buying stewed vegetables.

As for the chili sauce, it is still very plain, just a translucent white plastic bag.

You can be sure that these plastic bags are neither biodegradable plastics nor food-grade plastics, and you can even feel the powder when you touch them.

But there is no way around it. Zhao An also went shopping with his parents for daily consumables. These are already the best plastic bags in the mall.Zhao An thought in his mind that he must change the food packaging as soon as possible in the future.

But Zhao An didn't accompany his parents at the stewed vegetable stand today, and he was at Ji Jiashu's house after that.

"Prelude to the Third English Suite", a piano piece in a Baroque classical style, composed by Bach.

Just as Zhao An finished playing, Ji Jiashu applauded.Zhao An's learning speed on the piano is really too fast, and he won't make any mistakes after playing these pieces once or twice.On the contrary, you have to practice repeatedly to be able to master it.

But Ji Jiashu didn't feel discouraged at all. Anyway, Zhao An would practice with him, and that was enough.

"Okay. Let's stop here for piano practice today."

From morning to afternoon, except for the time for eating, the two of them have practiced the piano for more than six hours, and each of them played for three hours on average.

This was their daily routine throughout the winter vacation. Every other day, Zhao An would go to Ji Jiashu's house to practice the piano for about three hours.As for Ji Jiashu, it was even more exaggerated, basically guaranteeing three hours of training every day.

For a child who is not yet an adult, this is an unbelievable thing, and only a child like Ji Jiashu who regards playing the piano as a game and relaxing can do it.

Zhao An could feel Ji Jiashu's progress in piano, and this speed of progress was beyond his reach even in his previous life.

Of course, this is also because Zhao An was able to practice the piano for no more than one hour a day before winning the prize and buying the piano.No matter how talented a person is, it takes a lot of time to improve their proficiency in the piano.

If Ji Jiashu is not stopped, half of Ji Jiashu may spend all his time outside of studying on piano practice.

But Zhao An resolutely limited Ji Jiashu's practice time.

It’s too late.

Ji Jiashu's body has just begun to develop, and Zhao An does not hope that long-term practice will bring any hidden dangers to Ji Jiashu's spine and hand shape, especially tenosynovitis, which is difficult to cure.

If Ji Jiashu wants to take the piano path in the future, he must protect his body from now on.

Of course, Zhao An doesn't think this possibility is particularly great. After all, Ji Jiashu's studies are so outstanding, he is really talented, and Ji Jiashu has other hobbies, that is——

"Then let's sing!" Ji Jiashu announced loudly.
