Chapter 57 The Popular Pork
When Lin Chen was happily celebrating the New Year at home, on the other side of the ocean, James returned to the United States with Lisa and his friends.
After returning to the United States, James and Lisa were separated, and only he took the checked pork back and drove his car towards his restaurant.
The hundreds of restaurants that James took over from the family were not very profitable in his hands, but the locations of the stores were all quite good, and they were all in very prosperous areas with a lot of people.
When he got off the plane, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning in the United States. In another hour, it would be the peak meal time. Those elites who worked in the office buildings around the restaurant would go downstairs to eat.
The vast majority of these people are in the financial industry, so they have no shortage of money.
James' plan was to let the chef in the restaurant try it out before the peak meal time to see how it goes.
The pork he brought back this time was more than 400 catties if he didn't cook it. This was another pig that Lin Chen killed specially for him.
As for whether these pork are qualified to sell in the United States, this can be assured. Before he came back, he had obtained the quarantine certificate and other certificates, and these pork could be sold in the United States in an open and aboveboard manner.
Fortunately, the road was relatively smooth. There was no traffic jam today. James arrived at his restaurant at half past eleven.
The restaurant he came to covers a large area, it can be over a thousand square meters, and it is located in the financial street full of office buildings. There is a lot of traffic. The land of the store is worth a lot of money.
James still regrets it when he thinks about it now. Did he lose his head at the beginning? One hundred shops located in the prosperous area only mortgaged 50 million to the bank. This is too cheap. What was he? How to sign.
However, now is not the time to think about it. His purpose today is to try to see whether the pork he brought back from the Xia country is popular in the United States.
Soon, with the help of the store staff, the more than 400 catties of pork in James' trunk were all transported to the back kitchen. Except for a small piece of meat that could weigh ten catties, all the pork was It was put into the small freezer in the back kitchen.
"Divide these pork into 100 grams, 50, and use all of them to make roast meat, and strive to make all these roast meat before meal time."
In the United States, Americans like to eat all kinds of grilled meat, and James's restaurant is best at all kinds of grilled meat, so making grilled meat is not a problem for these chefs in the back kitchen.
After being ordered by their boss, the chefs in the back kitchen immediately got busy.
The reason why James came to this store is because the business of this store is much better than other stores, and the traffic is relatively large.
About fifteen minutes later, all fifty roasts were ready, and at this time, there were a lot of customers in the store, and the occupancy rate of the customers was close to one-third.
The attendance rate is not low. The people who come to eat are all dressed up as successful people. Some are alone, some are together, and some are in groups.
Because this shop is large and located in the bustling Financial Street, the decoration of this shop is quite luxurious, clean and hygienic. The style of decoration is also particularly popular with the elites in the surrounding office buildings, so they are willing to Came here for dinner.
Suck!
The moment the door of the oven was opened, a tangy scent penetrated into the nostrils of everyone in the back kitchen, and the fragrance was still rapidly spreading from the back kitchen toward the front hall.
Fragrant, really fragrant!
All the chefs who smelled this fragrance expressed their emotions in their hearts.
In this fragrance, in addition to the fragrance of the flesh itself, there is also a fragrance of nature, which seems to be the smell of grass,
It seems to be the fragrance of various flowers, mixed with various fragrances, which is so intoxicating and makes people feel happy.
All the chefs in the back kitchen, even James, were immersed in the fragrance.
When he was in Xia Kingdom, although James also tasted this pork at the Galaxy Hotel, he cooked it according to Xia Kingdom's method. Although it was very fragrant, it was not as strong as this time.
When the guests at the front desk smelled the fragrance wafting from the back kitchen, they instantly felt that the barbecue in their mouths was not fragrant.
And when the guests who were waiting to be served smelled the fragrance, they felt more and more hungry.
"Waiter, remind me, why hasn't our meal been served yet, hurry up, I'm starving to death."
"Okay sir, wait a minute, I'll help you rush."
Although the waiters in the front hall were also tempted by the fragrance, they still knew their responsibilities, so they resisted the desire to eat in their hearts and ran to the back kitchen to serve the guests.
"Waiter, what's the matter with you? Why doesn't your barbecue taste right?"
As a result, when the barbecue came up, many guests found that the barbecue they ordered didn't have the charming aroma just now, so they became dissatisfied one by one.
"Sir, I'm sorry, the roast you ordered is different from the roast you smelled just now." When these waiters were in the kitchen just now, they were also briefly arranged by James, so they knew How to explain and recommend these new types of grilled meat to guests.
And James also said that for every barbecue they recommend, they get five dollars in commission.
Money is the driving force, and these waiters don't care about the dissatisfaction of the customers at all, but start to explain to the customers the new roast pork in their store.
At this time, with the continuous opening and closing of the store's door, the smell of barbecue also spread to the outside of the store.
Um?
After the pedestrians walking outside the store smelled the fragrance, they all stopped in their footsteps and kept wriggling their noses to find the source of the fragrance.
When they found out that the fragrance came from the restaurant next to them, they walked into James's shop unconsciously one by one.
"Waiter, give me a barbecue."
As soon as these people came in, they said to the waiter who ordered the food at the front desk.
At the same time, those customers who had already ordered meals requested to change the barbecue for themselves one by one.
What, fifty dollars a piece of that roast?
Look down on who, isn't it fifty dollars, give me two first.
So, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of barbecue orders were placed in the back kitchen.
In the back kitchen, James looked at the hundreds of barbecue orders from the front desk, and finally let go of his hanging heart.
Although he has confidence in the pork he brought, he will only be successful when the pork is accepted and recognized by the guests.
"Come on, everyone, get moving now, it's done today, everyone has a bonus, hurry up, we can't keep the guests waiting for a long time."
At this time, James was so excited.
Fifty dollars per serving, 100 grams per serving, the pork he brought back this time weighed more than 400 catties. According to this calculation, he could make more than 2,000 servings of barbecued meat.
But looking at the current trend, more than 2,000 barbecued meats simply cannot meet the needs of customers.
Alas, why didn't you bring more pork back in the first place?
James watched more and more orders, and began to regret that he didn't bring less pork when he came back.
After all, it's all money.
Do the math, a 100-gram serving of barbecue costs fifty dollars, and he only buys fifty dollars for a pound of pork from Lin Chen, which is 5 times the profit. After deducting other costs, James did a rough calculation and found He also has 5 times the profit.
This profit is already quite high, enough for him to be crazy.
Give the capitalists enough profit and they dare to trample all the laws of the world.
In terms of pricing, Lin Chen is far worse than James. He thought that fifty dollars a pound of pork was already a high price, but he didn't expect James to set prices more ruthlessly than him. increased fivefold.
Because this is just the beginning, James is still in the stage of opening up the market. When the market is almost occupied by him in the future, he will definitely increase the price of this barbecue. By that time, won't he make more profits.
"No, when the things here are over, I have to go to Xia Country again anyway, and I have to personally escort the first batch of pork back."
Seeing that the pork he brought back was so popular, James had already decided in his heart that he would rush back to Xia Country after he was done with the affairs of the United States. He would not wait for Lin Chen to deliver the first batch of pork. Absolutely won't be back.
Now, in his eyes, these pork are not meat at all, but green dollars.
Not to mention how James, who is far away in the United States, made his decision, and how happy and painful he was, just talking about Lin Chen, is it Chinese New Year? After New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, according to the custom, the second day of the new year is to go back to the grandmother's house.
So on the second day of junior high, Lin Yuanshan drove his own ox cart, which was loaded with a slow cart of gifts. Lin Yuanshan and his wife brought their siblings to visit relatives in Tianjia Village.
The bullock cart looks quite big, but it can't hold a few people after it is full.
Fortunately, a few years ago, Lin Yuanshan bought several electric cars for Lin Chen's sisters, and Lin Chen's sisters could ride the electric cars first. And he followed behind with his daughter-in-law driving an ox cart.
This time, Lin Chen didn't take the ox cart, but the eldest sister's electric car, because he and the eldest sister wanted to go to the pig farm to have a look first.
After all, is it Chinese New Year? Most of the workers in the pig farm have no holiday. As the boss, he has to go to the pig farm to take a look and condolences to his workers.
Of course, he wouldn't do the job of condolences. After all, he was only eight years old, and he went up to say that it was not the case. Of course, this matter was handed over to his elder sister, Lin Xi.
On New Year's Eve, the eldest sister also showed up and met those workers. They also knew the identity of the eldest sister, so it was more appropriate for the eldest sister to come forward.
To be honest, the workers of the pig farm who do not go back during the Chinese New Year go to three times the salary of the Chinese New Year. In this era, in their place, they can earn two months' salary in seven days during the Chinese New Year. Such a good thing, go where to find.
In the eyes of the workers in the pig farm, it would be a fool not to stay to work.
