Chapter 118 WPG0117: Single draw? Ten consecutive draws? Internet celebrity route? 454K [Subscribe]

An Wuyang put the beef into his mouth and tasted it carefully.

Although Lin Xin's braised beef has achieved high scores in "color" and "aroma", the most important aspect is "taste".

Among the three aspects of "color, fragrance and taste", "color" and "fragrance" are icing on the cake, while "taste" is the foundation.

After all, deliciousness is king!

For example, does stinky tofu look good?
This stuff stinks!

It can be said that it has failed miserably in terms of "color" and "fragrance".

However, stinky tofu is very good in terms of "taste", which has won the love of many people. So even if it does not look good, even if it stinks, some people still think it tastes good.

When An Wuyang was chewing the braised beef, he immediately noticed something strange!

The texture of this piece of beef tendon was surprisingly soft and glutinous, and there was no problem of getting stuck in your teeth at all.

What's happening here?
This shouldn't be the case even with beef shank!
Did you use a pressure cooker?

wrong
A pressure cooker only speeds up cooking, not creates this kind of taste.

In addition to its soft and non-woody texture, the taste is also quite good. Its style is not spicy, but spicy with a sweet aftertaste, which makes people feel a little unable to stop.

After An Wuyang finished one piece of beef, he picked up the second piece, and then the third piece.

……

'Ding! '

'Random Event: Delicious Beef! '

'You don't eat beef? But I like it!'

'The seemingly ordinary braised beef has a soft and glutinous texture, and the spicy and sweet taste makes people unable to stop! '

'Congratulations to the host for tasting such a memorable meal!'

'Event Reward: [Food Lottery Gift Pack]'

……

Another food raffle gift pack?

An Wuyang didn’t even check the food raffle package he won at Auntie Zhou’s Pork Trotter Rice yesterday, but now another one has been sent to him?

An Wuyang was not very interested in the food lottery gift packs. He was wondering whether he should draw two individually later, or draw ten times in a row when he had ten.
I don't know if there is a guaranteed minimum for ten consecutive draws?

However, the Happy Life System lost connection again and did not answer An Wuyang's doubts at all.

Watching An Wuyang eating piece after piece of braised beef, Xia Yuqing asked happily, "Is it delicious?"

An Wuyang exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

The Happy Life System has given out rewards, how can An Wuyang still think it’s not delicious?
Maybe An Wuyang can lie, but the happy life system based on An Wuyang's senses cannot lie.

"Auntie, how do you make the beef shank have a soft and sticky texture?" An Wuyang asked.

"Qingqing, I taught you, do you remember?" Lin Xin asked Xia Yuqing. She had a little idea. She wanted to tell An Wuyang in this way that Xia Yuqing could also cook.

Xia Yuqing answered affirmatively, "As far as I remember, before cutting the meat, you should use a hammer to hammer the beef tendon to break the fibers of the beef tendon, so that you can create such a soft and glutinous texture, right?"

"Yes!" Lin Xin confirmed.

An Wuyang asked back, "Hammer before cutting? Why not hammer after cutting? Wouldn't it be easier to hammer if you cut it into small pieces?"

"Really not." Lin Xin responded in the negative. In fact, as soon as she heard An Wuyang's words, she knew that An Wuyang didn't cook and didn't know how to cook, otherwise she wouldn't ask such a question.

"If you cut the beef tendon into pieces first and then pound it, it is easy to pound the meat into meat paste directly," Lin Xin explained.

"In addition, the force with which you pound the meat is also important. If you pound too lightly, the meat fibers won't be cut, while if you pound too hard, the beef will easily be minced, thus affecting the taste," Lin Xin added.

"So that's how it is." An Wuyang exclaimed.

It turns out that there is knowledge in every aspect of life!
On the surface, it looks like just a simple braised beef, but although they are all braised beef, some braised beefs are hard to chew and get stuck in your teeth, while some are soft, glutinous and fragrant.

"Mr. An, how do you think this braised beef noodles should be priced?" Lin Xin asked.

Lin Xin added, "The issue I wanted to talk about yesterday was the issue of pricing."

Failure of the cold dish and stewed food stall
It should be considered a failure, right?
Lin Xin also realized some problems. For example, sometimes good business does not necessarily come from good cooking skills or good ingredients.

That's why Lin Xin asked An Wuyang how to set the price.

"Regarding the issue of pricing, we must first calculate the costs. Only after the costs are clearly accounted for can we comprehensively consider pricing," An Wuyang explained.

"Auntie, how many pieces of beef can you cut out from one pound?" An Wuyang asked.

"No more than 20 lumps." Lin Xin replied.

Lin Xin added, "The braised beef cannot be cut too small, because it will shrink after blanching. If it is cut too small, it will not have a thick texture, and the visual effect will also be small."

生牛肉的密度大概是1.2克/立方厘米，林欣切出来的牛肉体积目测估算大概在20至25立方厘米左右，一斤500克确实不会超过20坨。

"What's the current price of beef shank?" An Wuyang asked again.

Lin Xin replied, "The beef tendons I bought are all good ones. Some beef injected with water is not tasty, so it is a little more expensive. The price I bought today is about 40 yuan."

"The cost of beef is equivalent to 2 yuan per piece, plus seasoning, gas, and human resources, the cost goes up," An Wuyang responded.

"According to convention, each bowl of braised beef noodles should contain four pieces of beef, right?" An Wuyang asked.

Lin Xin responded affirmatively, "Yes."

This is Shengqing’s custom. If the amount of meat in the braised beef noodles is less than 4 pieces, the customer may not say anything, but it is likely to be a one-time transaction and it will be difficult for the other party to become a repeat customer.

"A rough calculation shows that the cost of noodles and condiments, plus the cost of beef, as well as operating costs, would be around 10 yuan," An Wuyang calculated.

Of course, if Lin Xin were to calculate it, this number would probably be lower.

Because Lin Xin doesn't know how to calculate her own labor costs, that is, human resources.

"Currently, the price of our Shengqing beef noodles is usually between 15 yuan and 24 yuan." An Wuyang pondered.

"Auntie, do you want to do peripheral business or open an Internet celebrity store?" An Wuyang suddenly asked.

"What are the differences between them?" Lin Xin asked.

"If we open a store related to daily life, it means that our customers are usually residents in the surrounding area. Given that Zhuyuyuan belongs to a low-consumption scenario, our pricing needs to be lower so that we can survive in this low-consumption scenario," An Wuyang explained.

Lin Xin’s cold dish and braised food stall died because it tried to force itself into a high-consumption business in a low-consumption environment!

"If you run an Internet celebrity store, you can raise the prices a bit. After all, the customers of Internet celebrity stores are not limited to the surrounding areas." An Wuyang added.

An Wuyang did not talk about the troubles and difficulties of running an Internet celebrity store, because those troubles were not troubles at all for An Wuyang.

Want to know more about money making ability?
Xia Yuqing continued, "It should be difficult for us to become an Internet celebrity store, right?"

"Is it difficult?" An Wuyang asked back.

"Isn't it difficult?" Xia Yuqing wondered.

"It's actually very simple as long as the hype is done properly." An Wuyang replied.

"Qingqing, you have to trust Auntie's cooking skills." An Wuyang added. "You also have to trust my judgment. Just based on this braised beef, I think it's easy to open an online celebrity store!" An Wuyang added.

At this point, An Wuyang looked at Lin Xin and said, "In fact, there is still a biggest problem."

Lin Xin was puzzled, "What's the problem?"

"If you want to make braised beef like this, how much can you make in a day, Auntie?" An Wuyang asked.

Lin Xin frowned slightly, "This...it's a bit complicated to do."

Xia Yuqing seconded the proposal, "The pounding of the meat will take about half an hour."

"Ah?" An Wuyang frowned. "Is there any way to solve this problem with a machine?"

Lin Xin shook her head, "I haven't found such a machine yet."

"Fascia gun?" An Wuyang responded.

Some things can be used in a completely different way than they were set to be, and can achieve better results.

"What is a fascia gun?" Lin Xin didn't know much about fascia guns.

An Wuyang took out his mobile phone and searched for fascia gun in the short video, then showed it to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin took a quick look and shook her head in denial, "Its power is too weak."

An Wuyang searched for "meat hammer machine" again and showed it to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin looked at it for a while longer this time, and she responded, "If the strength can be adjusted, this machine would be more suitable."

"These are all minor issues, we just need to ask the manufacturer to customize them." An Wuyang responded.

It’s nothing more than the power of money coming into play!

"If I have the help of this meat hammer machine, although it is not as good as doing it myself, the effect should be good." Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

If she were to pound the meat herself, how would she have so much time in the day?

It's impossible to have so much physical strength!

"Then let's open an Internet celebrity store. With Auntie's craftsmanship, we will definitely succeed." An Wuyang boasted.

"Since we want to go the internet celebrity route, we can choose to put 6 to 8 lumps of beef in our beef noodles. This way we can sell it at a higher price and also shut some people up," An Wuyang added.

"In the case of 6 to 8 pieces of beef, my suggestion is to sell it for 68 yuan." An Wuyang gave pricing advice.

"So expensive?" Lin Xin was surprised.

An Wuyang nodded affirmatively, "The high price is also a topic of conversation. Internet celebrity stores need topics of conversation."

"In addition, if the price is 68 yuan, the gross profit should be 50 yuan," An Wuyang added.

Lin Xin shook her head, "Not only that, it should be higher."

This obviously does not take into account the human resource costs.

"I'm just worried that there won't be any customers." Lin Xin was a little worried.

An Wuyang smiled and replied, "What is there to worry about? This shop belongs to Qingqing, and there is no pressure of rent. Even if there are fewer customers, the profit margin is very high, so there will be no problem making money."

Lin Xin and Xia Yuqing suddenly remembered that the noodle shop had been given to Xia Yuqing by An Wuyang, and they no longer needed to bear the pressure of rent.

The mother and daughter looked at each other as if they had telepathy.

"Then let's try according to Mr. An's suggestion." Lin Xin took a deep breath and made the decision.

An Wuyang responded, "Auntie, you have to have confidence in yourself."

At nine o'clock in the morning, An Wuyang personally took Lin Xin and Xia Yuqing to start handling various procedures. In fact, it was not An Wuyang who led the team personally, but Huang Moomoo. An Wuyang just used his money and connections.

Near noon, both Lin Xin and Xia Yuqing's health certificates, as well as the business license for the restaurant named "Lin's Noodle House" by Xia Yuqing, were completed. However, the business license would not be available until the next day.

It's not that An Wuyang didn't use his connections to resolve the issue, but even if he did, the fastest way to resolve the issue would be tomorrow, which is because the 'hardware' doesn't support it.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s delayed for one more day, because Lin Xin still has to make preparations before the opening.

In the afternoon, An Wuyang accompanied Xia Yuqing and Lin Xin to do shopping, and purchased all the relevant seasonings, tableware, kitchen utensils, etc.

Around five o'clock in the evening, the three of them returned to Zhuyuyuan with the delivery staff.

The shop at Zhuyuyuan has also been refurbished by a professional cleaning company. Lin Xin is directing the delivery staff to deliver the relevant goods to the shop.

An Wuyang took Xia Yuqing to the convenience store next door.

Xia Yuqing whispered, "Thank you, classmate An."

"You help us like this." Xia Yuqing paused for two seconds before continuing, "I don't know how to repay you."

"You are my girlfriend, isn't it my duty to help you?" An Wuyang replied with a smile.

This is a very emotionally intelligent answer!

We can't let An Wuyang respond with such low EQ "repay me with your body", right?

In fact, An Wuyang’s high EQ answer can also achieve the same purpose, so why use a low EQ answer?
More importantly, even if the goal was achieved through low EQ answers, Xia Yuqing would still feel uncomfortable.

As for what some people say, that An Wuyang doesn't need to consider Xia Yuqing's feelings, that is even more nonsense.

Xia Yuqing is An Wuyang’s girlfriend. An Wuyang likes Xia Yuqing. Why doesn’t he consider Xia Yuqing’s thoughts?

It's not about keeping a mistress!

Besides, even if it is a sponsorship, there are still feelings involved.

After all, if there is no affection between men and women, some things will be very embarrassing, because when she doesn't like you, her body will instinctively avoid you. How uncomfortable would that be?

Inside the convenience store.

An Wuyang said to the middle-aged boss, "Boss, do you have a large bottle of iced black tea?"

"Yes." The middle-aged boss answered affirmatively.

"Six bottles, please." An Wuyang responded, and then asked, "Qingqing, take a look at what you want to drink, and bring some back for your mother as well."

Xia Yuqing responded, "I just drink mineral water. My mother also drinks mineral water."

"Then give me three more bottles of mineral water." An Wuyang also chose mineral water, then paid and carried it back to Lin's Noodle Restaurant.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Come and have a bottle of water." An Wuyang placed a large bottle of iced black tea on the long table and motioned for the porter to help himself.

There were only three movers, but An Wuyang bought six bottles of drinks and was well prepared.

"Thank you, boss!" The mover hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

“You’re welcome.” An Wuyang replied with a smile.

An Wuyang is very good at dealing with human relationships because he received a good education since childhood.

He was well aware of the impact these small favors could have. It only cost a little money and the movers would work more diligently. Why not do it?
