Chapter 147 Boiled Beef
It should take a few days to report to the head office, then conduct research, and then provide the results.
That's what Xu Yang thought, but things didn't develop like that.
At 2:[-] p.m. on the second day after discussing the cooperation, the person whose caller ID showed as Mr. Wang called, and it was unnecessary to know that it was Wang Sheng.
After answering the phone and exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Sheng explained the purpose of his visit.
"Master Xu, after I went back yesterday, I reported this matter to the head office. After a tense meeting and research, the head office made exactly the same decision as I guessed. A vice president and other middle-level personnel of the company will be sent over. I will have a detailed discussion with you, if there are no accidents, I should agree to your request, the specifics will depend on the results of your negotiation, I don't know when Master Xu will be free, you can come over, and then I can make arrangements here."
Xu Yang really never thought that he would come so soon.
Originally thought that it would be next week, but who knew that even the weekend would bring results before Wang Sheng arrived.
"When are the people from your head office going to arrive?"
"Look at your schedule, Master Xu, because your restaurant is in a special situation, and they have time at any time, even on Saturdays and Sundays. People from the head office will make the decision later."
Xu Yang nodded slightly.
"Usually, there are office buildings nearby that go to work, and the business is very good whether it is noon or evening, so it is impossible for me to close the door on weekdays and then come here specially."
Xu Yang has no way to arrange workdays.
There is no need to worry about business during working hours.
At worst, all two-star packages are sold, the price is relatively cheap, and more people will choose.
There is no need to worry about business.
It is also impossible to give up the opportunity to increase more than 3000 prestige points every day to discuss cooperation.
On weekdays, the prestige value is about [-] to [-], and it will be relatively less on weekends, about [-] to [-], which will be a few hundred less.
"Well, I think this Saturday, which is October 10, is the most suitable time. I don't know how your time is."
Wang Sheng on the other end of the phone glanced at the date, and it wasn't too long.
Then he replied: "That's Saturday, because we have to taste the taste first before we talk about cooperation. Our arrangement is to have dinner on time at 12 noon, then rest for about an hour in the afternoon, and formally talk at 2 p.m. Cooperation, try our restaurant's signature dishes at night, Master Xu, see if there is any problem."
Xu Yang shook his head: "I have no problem."
"That's good. The lunch meal is also arranged by us, and then Master Xu can cook a few dishes on your side."
"Of course, I have two dishes here, one meat and one vegetarian, see if there is any need to increase the quantity."
Xu Yang knew that he was going to cook, so he would prepare two dishes.
In his opinion, two courses are quite enough.
Of course, it is impossible to cook according to the set meal this time, otherwise the wait at noon would be too long, and the first person to eat may have finished eating, and the last person's set meal has not been prepared yet.
It must be inappropriate, just make two dishes directly.
Wang Sheng smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem with two dishes, as long as you can cook your real cooking skills, Master Xu, it doesn't matter whether it is one dish, two dishes or three dishes, we can do it, but we don't know how to cook." Knowing which two dishes are, we can make an arrangement when the time comes."
Xu Yang said without thinking, "Just Mapo tofu and a dish of boiled beef."
Wang Sheng didn't say much when he heard the two dishes he was going to cook.
"Then according to what you said, Master Xu, mapo tofu and boiled beef, we will prepare all the ingredients here, and then Master Xu, you can make it directly when you arrive here. If you need to prepare in advance, let me know Just make it clear."
Xu Yang thought about it. He cooks according to the system menu, and most of the seasonings used are the same.
But he still said: "I'll just send you what I need on WeChat later, and then prepare it for me. There are no other requirements."
"Okay, I'll let the kitchen get ready."
Xu Yang thought about these two dishes last night.
He originally wanted to make husband and wife lung slices and mapo tofu dishes, both of which are six-star dishes, which can bring the greatest taste to facilitate the smooth negotiation of cooperation.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems that there are better options.
Moreover, this dish of husband and wife lung slices needs to be made by yourself, including the first steps, so it will take more time, and it is best to change a dish.
After much deliberation, I finally decided to replace it with the dish of boiled beef.
Of course, it's not just finding a dish to replace, but the result of careful consideration.
Because the current boiled beef is not ordinary boiled beef, not the simplest two-star dish.
Xu Yang upgraded it to a ten-star dish.
The card that can be directly upgraded to the star was used directly.
Owned the first ten-star dish.
According to the label in the dish guide, ten-star dishes can be cooked once a day, which is the same as the predicted number of times.
After all, when it comes to six-star dishes, the number of cooking times per day is reduced to seven.
Even if it is reduced by one star upgrade, there are only three cooking times at most when it is upgraded to ten stars.
Xu Yang calculated.
Seven-star dishes should be able to be cooked five times a day.
Then eight-star dishes can be cooked three times a day, nine-star dishes can be cooked twice a day, and when it happens to be a ten-star dish, it is a cooking opportunity.
Xu Yang is not too worried about the number of times he can cook every day.
Because you can get cards through draws that increase the number of times you cook each day, you only need to take them out when you really need to cook.
At that time, you only need to make a boiled beef, and one chance is completely enough.
Of course, Xu Yang will try the taste of this boiled beef in the past two days. Only after tasting it himself will he know the specific taste.
It is also possible to introduce and describe this boiled beef very little, or if you don't even know the specific taste, then it will definitely not work.
The reason for upgrading it was also Xu Yang's bargaining chip for himself.
Two six-star dishes may be enough for negotiation, but if he wants to get more things, then Xu Yang must come up with something that shocks them very much.
After much deliberation, ten-star dishes may be the most suitable.
You must know that ten-star dishes already represent the best tasting dishes that the system can provide, and there is no way to provide even the best dishes.
It is estimated that the chefs who can make ten-star dishes can be counted on one hand.
Although the ten-star dishes provided by the system already represent the best taste, it is not the best taste that Xu Yang can cook.
After all, his own cooking will also affect the taste of the dishes.
For example, he can make two-star dishes himself, and the system has unlocked ten-star dishes, so the dish will taste even better.
So Xu Yang still has room for improvement.
Xu Yang knew that once a ten-star dish was presented, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
However, one advantage of this is that you can take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices too high.
A six-star dish can be offered at a sky-high price of 2000 million, and a ten-star dish might start at [-] million, or even a better price.
If it weren't for this, Xu Yang really didn't want to bring out ten-star dishes.
The main reason is that the taste is so good, I don't know if they can accept it after tasting it.
It is estimated that there will be a new evaluation of myself, and I can continue to negotiate the price at that time.
Since he is a vice president from the head office, his status cannot be too low, and there should be room for further price increases in terms of the amount.
I believe he will make the most correct decision after tasting this boiled beef.
"Master Xu, are you sure you don't have any other needs or requests? As long as it's not too much, we can do it. For example, we don't need assistants when cooking."
In Wang Sheng's view, Xu Yang must have his own secret formula to make such a good taste.
The ratio of each spice may be relatively strict, and it is easy to leak it if someone is nearby.
As a kitchen, a chef may not only have one assistant to help when cooking, but may have two or even three assistants working together.
It's normal for Xu Yang not to want his special formula to be leaked, and Wang Sheng and the others didn't think about stealing it, otherwise it would definitely affect their relationship.
Xu Yang could not help but smile.
He didn't understand what Wang Sheng meant, so he shook his head and said, "No, just give me two assistants. There aren't many requirements, as long as they are smarter."
There is no so-called secret recipe, the only secret is the system.
No matter how many people are watching, the taste will not be a problem.
It is basically impossible for them to learn. The benefit they can bring is to learn, and the taste will be slightly better when cooking this dish later.
So there's nothing to worry about at all.
"Okay, we will arrange it here."
I communicated with Wang Sheng about other matters and basically reached an agreement.
Finally, he smiled and said, "Then look forward to your arrival, Master Xu, on the 16th."
"it is good."
…………
The next morning, in the list handed over to the grocery store, there was a raw material specially prepared for boiled beef.
Xu Yang must have tasted it in advance, what kind of taste this dish actually tastes like.
After the things are delivered, put them all in the designated places, and then start cooking the boiled beef.
Boiled beef is a famous traditional dish in Sichuan cuisine.
This dish can basically be found in Sichuan restaurants.
Beef slices are cooked in boiling soup, hence the name boiled beef.
This dish is rarely made at home, and the cooking process is not particularly difficult, but it does require certain cooking skills from the chef.
Otherwise the taste may be very different.
Xu Yang has cooked this dish once so far, and it was once in Jincheng Restaurant after unlocking it.
Guest reviews are very high.
Xu Yang prepared a lot of raw materials.
The main ingredient is beef.
The auxiliary materials include garlic sprouts, lettuce, bean sprouts, eggs and so on.
Dried chili, Chinese prickly ash, onion, ginger, garlic, water starch, bean paste, cooking wine, and pepper are used for seasoning.
When you're ready, start cooking.
The first step is to process the beef by cutting it into evenly sized slices.
The thickness must be uniform, otherwise the meat may be too old after being put into the pot, and the taste will be affected.
After cutting into thin slices, add water starch, pepper, cooking wine and a little egg white in turn, mix well and marinate.
During the marinating process, Xu Yang prepared side dishes.
Cut the garlic sprouts into sections, peel the lettuce and cut into thin slices about the same thickness as the beef, cut off the older parts of the bean sprouts and wash them.
Then heat the oil in a pan, stir-fry the lettuce, garlic sprouts and bean sprouts in the pan, and pour them out after they are broken.
Put the fried lettuce, garlic sprouts and bean sprouts into the bowls prepared in advance, and arrange them according to the way of the plate.
After the beef is almost marinated, heat the oil in the pan again, add minced ginger and garlic, dried chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry, then add the prepared bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant.
Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, then add light soy sauce, and then add some peppers according to taste.
The overall taste of Xu Yang is relatively average, so no chili is added to increase the spiciness.
There is pi county bean paste in it. If you add more salt, it may be too salty, so it is not added.
After the soup is boiled, slowly put the marinated beef in advance into the pot.
After the fire is boiled again, the fire can be turned off. The beef is cut into thin slices. If it is cooked for too long, it will become old and taste very bad.
Pour the cooked beef slices into a large bowl with bean sprouts and lettuce slices as the bottom.
The last is the most important step.
Sprinkle roasted dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns on top of the beef.
When the hot oil is poured and rolled, a dish of boiled beef is ready.
You can add coriander, sesame, chopped green onion, etc. before serving, and you can decorate it according to your preferences, and then you can serve it out of the pot.
The whole time takes about half an hour.
Of course, this does not count the preparation time.
The moment the hot oil was poured on it, a strong aroma hit his face, making Xu Yang couldn't help but want to take a sip to see what it tasted like.
Just looking at the appearance of the dishes, those who don't know will definitely think that they are used for advertisements on TV.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a dish that can be eaten.
Only Xu Yang knows that this is a ten-star dish, and it is very normal to show such a situation.
This portion of boiled beef was a whole portion, and Xu Yang did not cook any other dishes.
Serve with a bowl of rice, ready to eat.
Picking a piece of beef, Xu Yang's first impression was that it was very tender, ruddy in color, and he could smell the aroma again.
After observing for a while, Xu Yang put it into his mouth.
The moment of entrance, Xu Yang didn't know how to express himself.
At first, I thought that the six-star dishes tasted very good, but after eating this bite of beef, I realized what is beyond the sky.
The whole piece of beef is very tender, and the four words of numbness, spicy, fresh and fragrant are vividly displayed.
In particular, the two flavors of numbing and spicy are the most obvious.
"How could there be such a delicious thing?" Xu Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After speaking, he ate voraciously.
The consequence is to burn your tongue.
This dish is not like other dishes, it can be used directly after it comes out of the pan, this dish is topped with hot oil at the end, and the beef itself is very hot, if you eat it too fast, you will burn your tongue directly.
It made Xu Yang think of a sentence, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
So now even if this dish is delicious, it can only be tasted slowly.
After eating a whole bowl of boiled beef, Xu Yang nodded contentedly.
At the same time, it can guarantee to give everyone a surprise when the time comes.
