Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

PS: In order to prevent people from saying that the number of words is too much, the prices in the following are directly based on the second set of RMB.

After eating the buns at Wanxingju,

He Daqing did not go back directly, but continued to walk west and went straight to Eryouju at the intersection of Xisi.

He has a big appetite. Four large meat buns of 2 taels, a portion of fried liver and a bowl of millet porridge only made him 70% full. The rest of his stomach was reserved for Eryouju.

After all, it is rare to come to Xicheng District, so he must try the legendary buns of Eryouju, right?

But when he arrived at Eryouju and saw the store of Eryouju, he seemed to understand why Eryouju could not survive the wave of the times.

Maybe the original Eryouju was just a small bun shop, which was used by Mr. Chang to make a living.

But it's like the story of ivory chopsticks.

It is said that not long after King Zhou of Shang ascended the throne, he ordered people to carve a pair of ivory chopsticks for him.

The wise minister Jizi said,"Ivory chopsticks cannot be paired with earthenware, but with rhinoceros horn bowls and white jade cups.

Jade cups cannot be used to hold wild vegetables and coarse grains, but can only be paired with delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

After eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea, they will no longer wear coarse hemp short clothes and live in thatched houses.

Instead, they will wear brocade, ride in luxurious carriages, and live in high-rise buildings.

……"

Think about it.

Who is Mr. Chang? He is a real imperial chef.

Although He Daqing is also very curious, why this imperial chef can only make Tianjin pork and scallion stuffed buns and can't make other dishes.

But since he is called an imperial chef, his skills and ingredients for making buns must be extraordinary, and they may be as exquisite as the palace dishes of the Manchu and Han banquet.

In this way, can your simple bun shop match the buns in the imperial kitchen?

It was fine when I had no money before. Now that I have money, I must improve the decoration of this bun shop so that this bun shop can live up to the buns in the imperial kitchen.

So, the Eryouju that appeared in front of He Daqing now looks like an ordinary bun shop on the outside, but it is very exquisite inside.

The ground is paved with large blue bricks, and the eight-immortal table and eight-immortal chairs are lined up in a row. Even the plates for buns are large blue and white porcelain plates, which are very impressive.

That is really exquisite.

In the words of later generations, people who come here to eat buns don't care about the price. They just want the noodles. They eat the buns from the imperial kitchen in the palace.

If you set the price too low, people who come to buy buns will think you look down on them.

A big meat bun weighing two taels costs three cents, a portion of fried liver costs five cents, and even a small plate of pickled cabbage and fragrant vinegar costs ten cents.

It's all about the word, noodles!

But they dare to ask for this price, of course they have their own confidence.

He Daqing ordered two buns, a portion of fried liver, and a plate of fragrant vinegar, and tasted them carefully.

In the end, he had to admit it.

Because the buns and fried liver, as well as the plate of fragrant vinegar, at Eryouju are exquisite to the extreme, and they are worthy of the name of palace cuisine.

In addition, the buns at Eryouju are made of hot noodles, thin skin and large fillings. When you bite them while they are hot, your mouth is full of oil, and the sauce-flavored meat fillings and the taste of green onions, accompanied by the soup, rush straight to your throat. The meatball-like bun fillings will only come back after you eat them.

Order another bowl of steaming fried liver. The soup is shiny and red, the liver and sausage are fat, the flavor is rich but not greasy, and it is thin but not watery. The soft and smooth tripe and liver slices are hidden under the garlic paste. Not to mention the smell, just looking at it will make you hungry.

"Pork belly, Shandong green onion, finely ground flour, eggs, salt, sugar, oyster sauce, ground ginger, dark soy sauce……"

He Daqing savored the bun in his mouth carefully, trying to analyze the ingredients of the bun.

Unfortunately, he ate two large meat buns in a row, but he still couldn't figure out the ingredients of the buns at Eryouju. He always felt that something was missing and he couldn't taste it.

This is the case with the cooking industry.

Crafts are crafts, and recipes are recipes.

Behind every classic dish, there are generations of people who have devoted themselves to research. After trying thousands of times, they can finally determine a suitable ingredient and method.

These things together are a recipe.

If no one tells you the secret, even if you know what is in this dish and can make this dish, you can't make it taste good, and it's not authentic.

So, He Daqing sat at Eryouju and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the difference was between the buns at Eryouju and what he thought.

In other words, why the buns he made didn't taste as good as the buns at Eryouju.

And there is this fried liver.

Obviously, the ingredients are similar to ordinary fried liver, but it is much more delicious than ordinary fried liver.

Finally, there is this small dish of vinegar.

It is definitely Shanxi aged vinegar, and the quality is excellent. It is far from being comparable to mass-produced Shanxi aged vinegar, and it tastes very fragrant. Anyway, after eating the buns and fried liver from Eryouju,

He Daqing had to admit that his buns were indeed not as good as theirs.

The buns of this family may really use the bun recipe of the imperial kitchen of the palace. Even if the bun maker’s skills are a little lacking, it may be made by ordinary people, but the ingredients are not ordinary.

Similarly, because the ingredients of these buns are too particular, once the era of material shortage comes, it will be difficult to make such an authentic imperial kitchen bun.

It is no wonder that Wanxingju’s buns can take off, while the more delicious Eryouju buns can only disappear in front of the world.

Of course, even if the market value of Qingfeng Baozi in the future is several billion, it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper of Wanxingju in this era, just like Quanjude roast duck, no matter how popular it is in the future, has nothing to do with the descendants of Yang Quanren.

From the storefront, to the brand trademark, to the sauce formula, etc., all are state-owned.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there are still two years before the public-private partnership, and the conditions for opening the system business are hanging there,

He Daqing would rather find a factory to work than run a baozi shop.

…………

After eating the steamed buns at Eryouju, He Daqing had a rough idea of the price of his own steamed buns.

His steamed buns tasted better than those at Wanxingju, but not as good as those at Eryouju, so he could only take a middle price.

After thinking about it, He Daqing finally priced his big meat buns at 1.5 yuan, which was slightly more expensive than the buns at Wanxingju.

As for tea eggs, egg fried rice, and le le noodles?

Considering the price of eggs and Keemun black tea, he priced the tea eggs at 1.5 yuan, the same as the big meat buns.

Egg fried rice was 0.3 yuan, a serving of 7 liang of rice and an egg.

The price was definitely much higher than other egg fried rice, but he was confident in the high-end egg fried rice recipe given by the system and felt that it was worth the price. le le noodles were 0.2 yuan, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup was 0.1 yuan!

In general, the price of food in his small shop was definitely more expensive than that of ordinary small shops, but it was definitely not comparable to the Eight Buildings, Quanjude, etc. He earned his money through hard work.

Don't talk about material costs or anything like that.

Live ducks in the vegetable market are not as expensive as old hens, and each duck costs less than two yuan. However, the roast ducks in Quanjude and Bianyifang are all priced at eight yuan. Even the roast ducks in ordinary restaurants cost six or seven yuan each.

Can you only talk about cost with people?

The most important thing is that most of the people living in Daqianmen are rich. They don’t lack this little money. As long as their skills are good, they will never worry about customers not coming to them.

He Daqing had a plan in mind and did not continue to hang around in the West Fourth District. After eating and drinking, he rode his bike back to his shop.

What a coincidence.

Not long after He Daqing returned to the store, Captain Zhao of the street engineering team came over with two people. They were the two decoration masters who were responsible for decorating his store.

"Captain Zhao and two other masters are having a cigarette. You can take a look and do whatever is convenient. I, who don't know anything about the business, won't give you blind instructions.'"

He Daqing saw the people coming and hurriedly handed each of them a cigarette, saying with a smile.

Professional issues should be handled by professionals.

He only needs to wait for the final acceptance. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Captain Zhao introduced the two decoration masters behind him to He Daqing. They were both veterans. They had been repairing houses for people in the Zhengyangmen area since the Republic of China. They could do the work of plasterers and bricklayers. They always gave good reviews for all the projects they took on.

"Don't worry, Manager He, these are just small jobs. It's nothing more than dismantling the private room on the second floor, making two partitions, and then building a stove and a kitchen sink on the first floor. It's simple."

One of the old decoration masters grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth and said confidently:"Today, the two of us will deal with the private room on the second floor first, and tomorrow we will call two more people to come. It won't take two days for you to pick up the good stuff."

"Hey, I'll trouble you two masters."He Daqing also flattered with a smile.

Asking someone to do a job and saying a few good words to them is definitely a good idea.[]

Fortunately, the two masters were also capable people.

After talking to He Daqing for a few words and understanding his real idea, they directly started construction with a big hammer each.

A small hammer can make seams, a big hammer can get it done, and it can be used to demolish houses and smash walls.

Listening to the sound of knocking and smashing walls in my ears.

He Daqing greeted Captain Zhao of the street engineering team while taking two packs of Daqianmen from the inner room.

Don't get me wrong.

He didn't want to bribe Captain Zhao of the engineering team.

Instead, he took two packs of cigarettes and went to the neighbors on both sides.

His two neighbors on the left and right, one is a tailor shop, the owner's surname is Zhang, known as Zhang Tailor, specializing in sewing and mending for people, and also tearing cloth to make clothes. Next to Xueru Silk Shop, it has attracted a lot of business.

The other is a grocery store, the owner's surname is Chen, nicknamed Chen Department Store, mainly selling rice, flour, grain, oil, daily necessities, children's toys, snacks, etc. The shop is not big, and there are many kinds of things in it, which is deeply loved by children in the streets and alleys.

He Daqing took two packs of Daqianmen and gave one pack to each of them. He explained the situation and apologized. It was mainly because of the renovation work in the past two days, which would definitely affect people's mood.

Hearing that He Daqing wanted to turn the store in the back building into a steamed bun shop,

Chen Baihuo was fine. He just smiled and said,"Business is booming.""、"

He then said that he had rice, flour, grain, oil, soy sauce, vinegar and tea at a fair price and with guaranteed product quality, and asked He Daqing to take care of the business. Hearing this, He Daqing naturally agreed very politely.

As for whether to buy things from him in the future, it would be decided at that time according to the situation.

On the contrary, Tailor Zhang on the left was not very happy when he heard He Daqing say that he wanted to change the shop in the back building into a steamed buns shop.

The reason was very simple.

Because he was a tailor and had a lot of fabrics in his shop, if you made the door next to it like the one selling steamed buns in the morning market, put a few steamers and all kinds of oil smoke, do you think it would affect other people's business?

So it was human nature that Tailor Zhang was not very happy.

He Daqing saw this and he would definitely say a few good words to him. , and only after he promised not to move the chimney close to the tailor shop, did Tailor Zhang reluctantly accept the Daqianmen deal.

In fact, he had no choice but to accept the deal.

After all, it was someone else's shop, and he could change it however he wanted. Not to mention changing a restaurant into a steamed buns shop, even if it was directly changed into a stinky tofu shop, stinking up the whole street, there was nothing he could do.

He Daqing tried his best to persuade the two neighbors.

Who would have thought that just after coming out of Tailor Zhang's shop, he saw a girl wearing a printed wine-colored cheongsam, with fair skin, an excellent figure, curly hair, and fashionable clothes, who was somewhat out of place in this era, standing in front of his shop and chatting with Captain Zhao. When Captain

Zhao saw He Daqing coming out of the tailor shop next door, he pointed at him and said with a smile:". Shopkeeper Chen, don't you want to meet He Daqing?"���Isn't she here?"

Shopkeeper Chen?

When He Daqing heard Captain Zhao's address, he almost guessed the woman's identity.

If he guessed correctly, this woman should be the female shopkeeper of Xueru Silk Shop next door, Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru followed Captain Zhao's direction, turned around, and saw He Daqing.

This woman is a complete social bull patient, the kind who suffers from social bull syndrome, and doesn't even know how to write the word"strange".

After Chen Xueru saw He Daqing, she said directly and generously:"Oh, this is Boss He, he is indeed young and promising, worthy of being a big shot who can take over and then return to the building, he is extraordinary at first glance"

"Shopkeeper Chen is joking. I am just a bun seller. I have nothing to do with big shots."He Daqing heard Chen Xueru's compliment and shook his head with a wry smile, saying,"Besides, I am already thirty years old and my children are grown up. How can I be described as young? I can't even say I am promising."

"On the contrary, Shopkeeper Chen, who has run such a large silk shop at such a young age, is truly a young and promising girl, and can be called a heroine."

He Daqing said with admiration.

He really admired the girl in front of him.

After all, He Daqing already had an understanding of what kind of place Daqianmen was.

And in such a place where old foxes were everywhere, running a big shop like Xueru Silk Shop, He Daqing felt that if he put himself in Chen Xueru's position, he would definitely not be as good as her.

Not to mention, the girl in front of him has even sold the silk business to Big Brother Su, and is not an ordinary person.

Even throughout the TV series"Little Women Under Zhengyangmen", Chen Xueru has never stumbled in the business world, and only stumbled three times, all of which were due to men, and her eyes were a little blind to men. (Getting money)

But it's better to be a little blind.

If not, how can I have the opportunity to fool this business woman?

As long as I can marry this woman in front of me, my future life will be completely smooth.

"Shopkeeper He, do you know me?"

Chen Xueru asked curiously when she heard He Daqing's praise. She stood there thinking for a long time but couldn't figure out where she had seen him before.

"I know her, how could I not know her?" He Daqing smiled and said,"Who in Daqianmen has not heard of the name of Shopkeeper Chen? You are a flower in our Daqianmen. Not only are you young and beautiful, but the key is that you are as good as men. I don't know how many men you are better than."

Yes.

Before Xu Huizhen came to Daqianmen, Chen Xueru was the most attractive flower in the whole Daqianmen.

Not necessarily the most beautiful, but definitely the most attractive.

After all, there are beautiful girls every year, but beautiful girls with a million dowry and a big house are not common.

Even if there really is one, she is the daughter of a capitalist. If you are not stupid, you will not mess with her in this era.

What is white, rich and beautiful?

Chen Xueru is the white, rich and beautiful of Daqianmen, and she is also very capable. You can just marry her and you can lie down.

You say, such a white, rich and beautiful, can she not be famous in Daqianmen?

To be frank Angry words.

Those who went to the Chen family to propose marriage this year are almost knocking down the door.

But Chen Xueru is very independent. She doesn't want to take care of her husband and children after getting married. Instead, she wants to make the family silk shop bigger and stronger. So she doesn't want to get married so early, and she doesn't like those who are not as good as herself.

So, until now, she is still single and has not found a suitable candidate.

Chen Xueru was very happy to hear such straightforward compliments. Even her eyes softened when she looked at He Daqing. She smiled and said,"Haha, Shopkeeper He is really good at talking. I feel a little embarrassed by your compliments. Aren't you afraid that the boss lady will be jealous?"

I am looking for collections, flowers, and evaluation tickets for my new book. I hope everyone will support it..
