Life is a Game

In a blink of an eye, it's April.

All things are recovering, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and various fresh spring ingredients are on the market one after another. Taifeng Building will also usher in a new round of menu updates.

The spring limited dishes such as spring bamboo shoots and Chinese toon will be on the menu of Taifeng Building one after another. The screw will also wake up from dormancy around Qingming. A thousand ways.

Master Huang returned to Gusu at the end of March. In his words, his son and grandson were both in Gusu, and he missed them after being away from home for too long, so he hurried back. But in Dong Shi's words, Master Huang's medical insurance is in Gusu, and it is too inconvenient to stay in Beiping to see a doctor.

Jiang Weiming's health was improving, and the attending doctor told Jiang Feng that if everything went well, Jiang Weiming could be discharged from the hospital next week.

As soon as Jiang Weiming was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Feng's clear soup and broth practice would be on the agenda. The last time Jiang Weiming asked Jiang Feng in the hospital if he wanted to learn, Jiang Feng's answer was naturally yes.

High soup and clear soup are too important in top-level dishes, especially for Jiang Feng, who needs several dishes in high soup or clear soup in his recipes. Whether it's baked lobster in soup, Jiang-style ginseng soup, chickpea curd, or the latest Buddha jumping over the wall, broth and clear soup are indispensable.

If you want to be able to run, you must first be able to walk. Now Jiang Feng can walk, but the problem is that what he wants is not to run but to fly.

If you can't grow wings, at least you have to buy a plane ticket first. What Jiang Feng has to do now is to save money to buy a plane ticket.

Leaving aside the matter of buying air tickets, everything that happened at the end of March was a surprise.

It seems to be a wonderful poem, when the winter snow melts, the earth returns to spring, and all things recover, everything will be fine.

It would be even better if the turnover can improve.

Comrade Wang Xiulian has been a bit annoyed recently.

As the only person in Jiang's family who cared about the debts of Taifeng Building, Wang Xiulian sincerely prayed every day before going to bed that the top-floor restaurant next door would close quickly due to poor management. It didn't matter if it was not poor management, as long as it closed.

The turnover of Taifeng Building in March is really not good.

Although it is still profitable, the amount of profit has dropped sharply compared to the previous few months. Wang Xiulian feels that if this trend is followed, when her disappointing son gets married and has children, the family's debts may not be fully repaid when her lovely grandson grows up.

Her grandson hasn't even been born yet, so how could she owe a whole lot of debt to her unbelievable father and unbelievable grandpa!

Every time she thought of this, Wang Xiulian wanted to deduct all the salaries of Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang to make Taifeng Building's accounts look better.

"Mom, come and try this toon omelette." Jiang Feng ran to Comrade Wang Xiulian with a plate of toon omelette just out of the pan.

Wang Xiulian took the chopsticks from Jiang Feng's hand, stacked the toon fried eggs on the plate, picked them up with one chopstick and stuffed them all into her mouth. After chewing twice, her expression changed suddenly.

"Your grandfather made it?" Wang Xiulian swallowed the toon omelette.

Jiang Feng nodded: "What do you think of the taste?"

"Of course your grandpa's cooking is delicious!" Wang Xiulian looked serious, "Your grandpa is trying out the new menu?"

Jiang Feng nodded.

Because the business is not very prosperous, Fang Mei suggested that it is better to launch a spring limited set meal. All the dishes in the set meal use the freshest, most tender and plump spring ingredients or unique spring ingredients.

May I ask, who can resist the temptation to limit these two words?

Logically speaking, it would not be Jiang Weiguo's turn to do this kind of thing himself, but the old man is really boring these days.

Jiang Weiming was in the hospital, and Grandma Jiang went to Chen Suhua to play mahjong every day as usual. Suddenly, the third brother was not around and Jiang Weiguo didn't even have anyone to chat with at any time.

After all, it is not like back then when Jiang Weiguo could scold four grandsons at once at his peak, but now there is only one grandson who can scold him.

"How many dishes have you decided?" Wang Xiulian asked, she can set the price only after the menu is confirmed.

"There are too many ingredients that can be used as a spring limited menu, and none of them has been settled." Jiang Feng said, "There are mandarin fish, pomfret, bream, bream, catfish, saury, anchovies, yellow brow and White pigeon fish, besides these, there are a bunch of others to choose from."

"Mandarin fish in March and April are the most plump. Before and after Xiaoman, when the plums are yellow, it is a good time to eat pomfret. But three pomfrets and four scorpions, the scorpion in April is more delicious, and the scorpion is best steamed and served quickly. As long as it is mixed with Steaming fish roe together is a good dish.”

"Combine the expensive ones with the cheap ones, and choose the ones that look good." Wang Xiulian, "The yellow brow is the lionfish, right? That thing is only found in the southeast coast, and it will die if it leaves the water. That's fine."

Jiang Feng thought it was okay, and they didn't think much about it.

"You can think about this toon omelette." Wang Xiulian suggested, "The restaurant next door has some broken eggs, that is, there are ham and bread under the eggs, and the ham is only such a thin slice, so it's just poured on something. As for the sauce, if you dare to sell it for tens or hundreds of dollars. We can’t lose, and we also sell eggs, so we sell toon fried eggs.”

"Eggs Benedict?"

"Yes, that's the egg." Wang Xiulian looked affirmative, "It's too expensive, just two eggs 88."

In fact, Eggs Benedict is a very simple American breakfast. It is very common and the method is very simple, so the name looks expensive, so the top-floor restaurant can sell it at a high price of 88.

If Eggs Benedict is called muffin omelette or bread omelette or muffin ham omelette, it is estimated that it can only be sold for 28 or 38.

In other words, if the toon omelette is changed to a toon dick egg, can it also be sold for 88.

"Mom, when did you go to the restaurant on the top floor to eat Eggs Benedict?" Jiang Feng caught the point right away.

Wang Xiulian: ...

Wang Xiulian slapped the table pretending to be angry, her face full of wrath: "It's all your father's fault. He insisted that I go with him because he said he wanted to try the restaurant next door. I didn't mainly do it for the food, I mainly did it to study their family. dishes and their prices, just to figure out why their business is so good.”

"Why?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Their food is really delicious."

Jiang Feng: ...

"The Eggs Benedict is expensive, but don't tell me, the appearance is really good. The eggs are fried tenderly, and the sauce inside is quite delicious, and the egg yolk with runny heart is nice in color. Oh, don’t mention how delicious it is on the bread below.”

"It's just that there is too little ham, so I only give two slices!"

Jiang Feng:?

Comrade Wang Xiulian, you are a bit thorough in your capitalism.

"Don't talk about this, I will get angry when I say it. If you learn from your grandfather, you won't even be able to fry an omelette. If the eggs in our store can be fried like that, don't say 88, if you say less, you can sell 18." Wang Xiulian is plausible.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

"oh."

"By the way, it's time for your third grandfather to be discharged from the hospital. When will he be discharged?" Wang Xiulian successfully changed the subject.

"Should be discharged next week, the doctor told the third grandfather to observe in the hospital for two more days, otherwise he will be discharged this week." Jiang Feng said, "Uncle Jiang Yong will leave in two days, and their magazine seems to have a temporary What needs him to go. Now the third grandfather is almost in good health. Uncle Jiang Yong means that he will not come here this time when he goes back. After all, he has taken such a long leave. There is probably a lot of work piled up in the magazine .”

"On the day he goes back, you go to see him off, and bring him two cans of pickles by the way. Ji Yue's mother just sent a batch of new goods two days ago. The winter bamboo shoots have been pickled. I have already tasted them for you, whether it is fried pickles Stir-fried sauerkraut, or stewed beef with pickled winter bamboo shoots and pickles are very good.”

"By the way, Ji Yue's mother said that there are a lot of winter bamboo shoots in this batch. Why don't you put the pickled winter bamboo shoots in the spring limited set meal, and I'll order a batch of small bottles. If you buy the set meal, you will get a can for free, and the price of the set meal will be raised a bit. "The more Wang Xiulian thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was brilliant, and she immediately left Jiang Feng to find Fang Mei to discuss the matter.

Jiang Feng:?

Winter bamboo shoots are added to the spring limited set meal.

Wonderful.
