Back to 2001

On the top floor of the dining car are plates of thinly sliced ​​beef with evenly distributed fat like frost.

What shocked everyone present was that the plates of beef were actually erected on the dining car.

And the beef on the plate clings to the plate without slipping.

All the dishes were as white as jade, without any trace of blood oozing out.

"Let me introduce to you the parts of beef and how to eat it."

The store manager, Sister Yan, walked to the dining car with a smile, held up a plate of beef with the densest fat distribution, and introduced: "This plate is beef hindquarters, commonly known as beef tendon, and it is streaky toe on the menu. This part of meat is in the A cow has only one-thousandth of its weight, because it has more tendons and tastes very crisp..."

When Sister Yan was introducing, the dozen or so waitresses had already brought a plate of pork belly and came behind everyone present.

Then use the long hot pot chopsticks to clamp the fat and thin slices of meat into the clear soup in the copper pot in front of everyone.

While everyone was still listening carefully to Sister Yan's explanation, the waitress took out the beef slices that had just been blanched for about 10 seconds and put them on the plates in front of each diner.

These people present looked at the tender and attractive beef slices on the plate, with amazed and puzzled expressions on their faces.

The amazement is that they have never seen such an exquisite and amazing way of eating beef.

The doubt is that the beef that needs to be stewed in a pressure cooker in the traditional concept is cooked after only 10 seconds in the pot?

"Please pick up the beef and dip it in the sand tea sauce on the left, please eat it while it is hot."

Under Sister Yan's reminder, everyone hastily followed suit.

All of you here are people who have eaten and seen it. Everyone knows that the more high-end and fresh ingredients, the more attention should be paid to the cooking time and eating time.

Once the best time is missed, the flavor and taste of the food will be greatly reduced.

"Um……"

The moment the beef was put into the mouth and started to chew, someone could not help expressing deep emotion in the soul.

Especially for those who were born and raised in the north, this novel experience of eating beef is like opening another window in their cognition.

"Bosschen, this kind of beef is delicious, but it's not the way to eat authentic Chongqing hot pot?"

At this time, Jesse Ellison took the lead in raising doubts.

Because he has eaten hot pot hundreds of times in Chongqing, he certainly knows that such high-end ingredients cannot be included in Chongqing hot pot recipes.

What's more, Chongqing hot pot has always had a spicy soup base that can never be a clear soup base.

Chen Jianghe looked at the other party and said with a smile: "Jessie, I never said that this hot pot restaurant only has Sichuan and Chongqing flavors?"

Looking at the puzzled expressions of everyone present, Chen Jianghe simply gave up, and explained with a smile: "This is the authentic way to eat Chaoshan beef hotpot. Everyone just tasted the five-flowered toe, and the next one is the three-flowered toe, the hanging dragon. , neck kernel, spoon handle..."

The people who just tasted the crispy, tender and refreshing five-flower toe no longer care about whether they are eating Chongqing hot pot or Chaoshan hot pot.

Hearing that there are so many beef parts that have never heard of the name can also be eaten in hot pot, everyone has moved their index fingers without exception.

After a while, amidst the sound of chewing and intoxication, the beef on the top floor of the dining car was swept away.

At this time, the waitresses brought out the ingredients on the second floor of the dining car just right.

"This is a large piece of hairy belly! And yellow throat! And duck intestines!"

It was still Jesse Ellison who exclaimed. He hadn't seen these familiar ingredients since he left Chongqing.

However, the Chongqing hot pot ingredients, which are exquisitely arranged and cut with exquisite knife skills, gave him a feeling as if he had passed away.

It's like a country girl who has changed her packaging and styling, and suddenly becomes high-end and international.

"First of all, please taste a large piece of hairy belly."

Sister Yan, the store manager, introduced with a smile: "When the hairy belly is hot, pay attention to ups and downs. If the time is too short or too long, it will affect the taste."

The waitresses standing behind everyone immediately picked up a large piece of hairy belly with long hot pot chopsticks, and boiled it up and down in the red soup in the copper pot like a dragonfly.

It can be said that there are only a handful of northerners who have eaten authentic Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot in this year, and those who have eaten Maodu as an ingredient and know how to scald it are even rarer.

Therefore, when you put the hairy belly full of thick butter and spicy and delicious fragrance into your mouth and chew it, the ultimate taste that is so crisp that you can spring your teeth makes everyone almost jump in place!

"This hairy belly is too delicious!"

The first person to express his emotion was Jesse Ellison, who had eaten authentic Chongqing hot pot hundreds of times.

Xu Zhixi, who was sitting next to him, used his eyes to remind this guy to keep a low profile, and at the same time, he was shocked by the taste and flavor of this hairy belly and doubted his life.

There is no reason to open a hot pot restaurant in Shancheng County, it will be more authentic and delicious than the one in Chongqing!

How did this omnipotent Boss Chen do it!

Looking at the shocking eyes cast by Xu Zhixi and Jesse, Chen Jianghe smiled and said lightly: "You two see what I do, the secret is actually very simple, two words, 'fresh'."

Chen Jianghe paused for a moment, and continued: "There is a slaughterhouse I invested in nearby. It takes less than an hour from slaughtering cattle to serving the beef."

As he said that, he picked up a small piece of blood-red beef left on the plate with his hands, and said lightly: "If you don't believe me, you can feel it, it's still warm."

"really?"

As the biggest "curious baby" at the table, Jesse took the piece of beef with his hands in doubt.

"This... this beef is still alive!"

Jessie just pinched it lightly, and suddenly exclaimed: "This meat is still moving...moving!"

"real or fake!"

"No way!"

"This is too evil!"

At this moment, the curiosity of everyone present was aroused in an instant.

Everyone didn't even bother to continue enjoying the food, and they all came together to pinch and touch the piece of meat in Jesse's hand.

In the eyes of everyone, that piece of beef trembled slightly like a convulsion, visible to the naked eye.

Although the range of motion is far from shockingly exaggerated.

But these people present here are also considered to have opened their eyes.

"Xiao Chen, isn't the cost of such a meal low?"

At this moment, academician Zheng Qiang, who had been quietly enjoying the food, couldn't help asking questions.

He has participated in countless high-end banquets and eaten countless top-level delicacies in his life.

But this hot pot meal shocked him far beyond all previous gourmet experience.

"The ingredients themselves are not that expensive."

Chen Jianghe smiled, and said honestly: "I have signed a long-term supply agreement with a nearby beef cattle farm, and the other party will send 10 cattle to the slaughterhouse every day. The price of a cow is around 2500 yuan. The slaughterhouse and hot pot The salary of the staff in the store is about 8000 yuan per day, and the daily utility bill is about 500 yuan."

Chen Jianghe introduced the daily costs of opening this hot pot restaurant to everyone present.

Zheng Qiang and others have never opened a store, so they let it go after hearing about it.

Chen Jianghe did not tell these people that the daily operating income of the hot pot restaurant is at least 10 yuan, and the net profit after deducting all costs is as high as 70%.

The main reason is that the building of the hot pot restaurant is provided free of charge by the government office building, and after saving a large cost of rent, the profit is naturally too high.
