Return To 1998

Eight days later, a passenger plane landed at Wudu Airport. Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing dragged their suitcases and came out of the airport with the crowd.

The fog in July is already very hot. They both dressed coolly. Xu Tongdao wears black jeans and a short-sleeved shirt. Zheng Qing wears loose camouflage pants and a black T-shirt.

After walking out of the airport, the two got into a taxi and reported the name of a hotel. The taxi took them out of the airport.

In the past eight days, Xu Tongdao has determined the direction of the restaurant that will be operated in the urban area of ​​Shuiniao City-hot pot.

Compared to hot pot, he must have more experience in cooking.

After all, he did a great job at Daolin BBQ in Shazhou County, and his business has been good.

And hot pot?

He did not do it after rebirth, nor did he do it before rebirth, severely lacking in technology and experience.

However, after careful consideration recently, he still chose the hot pot as his direction.

The main reason is grilling...The requirements for the craftsmanship of the grilling master are too high, which is not conducive to rapid expansion and opening of chain stores.

Moreover, the smoky barbecue stuff gives many people the impression that it is not high-end, and people who like to eat barbecue are generally used to going to roadside stalls or some small shops on the streets and alleys.

There are too few people who are interested in finding a big restaurant for barbecue.

In contrast, hot pot is much better.

First of all, there were many chain hot pot restaurants he had seen before his rebirth. What does this show?

At least it can explain that the hot pot is suitable for chain stores. Technically, it is easy to replicate. The chef’s personal technical requirements are not as demanding as barbecue.

Moreover, although hot pot can't make top-notch cuisine, and the grade is not too high, its customer base is much larger.

Ordinary people like to eat and can afford it, rich people...and many people like to eat, and as long as the in-store quality is good, it can indeed attract a lot of rich people to patronize.

That's enough!

Technically easy to replicate, the customer base is large enough.

With these two points, Xu Tongdao thinks it can be done.

Moreover, in addition, hot pot restaurants have a unified standard in terms of service.

There are also many other benefits.

For example, a successful hot pot restaurant does not need first-class chefs. It is enough to have one or two chefs who are in charge of technology. Other kitchen staff can find some sophisticated women.

These women can be responsible for washing vegetables, choosing vegetables, cutting vegetables, arranging dishes, and so on.

Such women are easy to recruit, and their salary is much lower than that of a formal chef.

Very cost-effective.

The biggest problem facing Xu Tongdao... is the technique of making hot pot.

He has been a chef for several years in his previous life, so he still knows some of the core technology of hot pot.

——Hot pot bottom material!

This should be the core technology of a good hot pot.

Of course, the hot pot bottom materials mentioned here are not the finished hot pot bottom materials that are packaged and sold in dry goods stores.

That kind of small-package hot pot base...Although the hot pot tastes good, there are two major problems.

First of all, the hot pot taste made from the finished hot pot base material in small packages cannot give the public a new idea.

Because you might also buy that kind of hot pot base material and make your own hot pot when you go home.

So the question is, if you spend money to eat hot pot at your hot pot restaurant, if it tastes no different from what you make at home, why do they come to you to eat it?

Secondly, the finished hot pot base ingredients sold in dry goods stores are small in quantity, but the price is not cheap. If you open a hot pot restaurant, you will use that small package of finished hot pot base ingredients for hot pot all the year round. Soup base, the cost of your hot pot soup base just swish up.

Yes!

You can uphold the principle of "wool out of the body" and pass the cost of the soup to the diners.

But... In this way, you lose competitiveness in price compared with other hot pot restaurants.

hot pot……

Not considered high-end cuisine, taste and price are all factors considered by the public.

If your hot pot restaurant disappoints everyone in terms of taste, and disappoints everyone in terms of price, then why do you attract the public to come to you continuously for consumption? Is your face big?

Xu Tongdao considered other options.

For example: spend time and energy on your own, and use your own chef’s skills and experience to research out a hot pot base.

He has confidence.

He believes that he should be able to develop a hot pot base that tastes good.

But at best it's pretty good.

He had no confidence in how excellent hot pot bottoms he could make.

For one thing, he hadn't made hot pot before, nor had he studied it.

Secondly, the habit of eating spicy food here in his hometown can only be said to be average.

There are those who love spicy food, and others who don’t like spicy food. In their local traditional diet, there is no hot pot.

It's like a chef in an inland city. How good a seafood meal you expect him to make is really difficult.

It's also like domestic students learning English... What you want to learn is better than children from English-speaking countries. What level of difficulty is? You can think for yourself.

Therefore, Xu Tongdao thought of Wudu.

This is the birthplace of hot pot.

To say that the hot pot technology in all parts of the country is the best place, then everyone must first think of Wudu.

People here can eat spicy food, and they can eat spicy food.

Hot pot has become a flower by the people here.

Before Xu Tongdao was reborn, he went to some well-known hot pot restaurants to eat.

Almost every one of them is known as authentic Wudu hot pot.

But each company's technology is different.

Some are outstanding in the taste of the soup base; some are extremely rich in hot pot dipping materials, with dozens of dipping materials, such as peanut butter, sesame sauce, beef sauce, etc.; and other hot pots focus on the ingredients. Among them, there is a hot pot specializing in live fish, lamb, chicken and other ingredients.

All kinds, each has its own characteristics.

Xu Tongdao, who has memories of past lives, knows very well that with the development of the times, those chain hotpot restaurants with different characteristics and characteristics will surely reappear.

If the hot pot restaurant made by Xu Tongdao ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is far inferior to those chain hot pot restaurants in terms of technology and characteristics, then when those chain hot pot restaurants open to Water Bird City, his hot pot restaurant will be Quickly squeeze to a time when there is no living space.

This is of course unacceptable to him.

Since he has decided to get involved in the hot pot business, he wants to have a place without talking about dominating the hot pot market in the country.

Otherwise, why does he make hot pot?

There are so many profitable industries, is it not good to continue to expand Internet cafes?

He and Zheng Qing came to Wudu today for one purpose-to obtain superior hot pot technology!

As for how to get it?

——In this world, there are very few problems that money cannot solve. If there are, it is likely that money is not enough.

And he, Xu, has a little money now, and there are really many hot pot restaurants in Wudu.
