Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 831 Senior fellow apprentices, of course you have to drink a bowl of water! Lao Huang: It’s

“Master Wife, this is too expensive, I can’t have it.”

Lin Xu would not refuse if he was given pocket money or something, but he really couldn’t accept this property worth hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions.

With such an expensive property in your name, why should you open a hotel? The annual rent alone is eight figures, so you can live comfortably until you grow old.

Luo Shan didn’t expect Lin Xu to refuse, and her expression was a little surprised.

As expected of the apprentice chosen by Xiao Shuai, it is indeed different. If you put such a good thing on someone else, you might regret it if you agreed on the spot, but this young man refused first.

She said:

“This was originally prepared for you to open a branch. Now that the car rental market is shrinking, we are also actively deploying electric vehicle charging piles. There is no need for a Chaoyang facade. Your master has seen it and it is very suitable for opening a restaurant. It can also be transformed into a A suitable hall for wedding ceremonies.”

Since Master has seen it, it means it is really suitable for Lin Kee Food.

But Lin Xu still did not agree, but said:

“How about this, Master? If I should open the restaurant, I will continue to open it, but the property will still belong to you. Is this okay?”

Luo Shan naturally disagreed, but asked a question:

“How are the equity shares of your company divided?”

Lin Xu didn’t understand why the master’s wife asked this, he said:

“On the head office side, there are me, Yueyue and Sister Jing. The three of us account for 56%, 37% and 7% respectively. There is another way to divide the equity in the branch. , but does not involve the head office.”

When Luo Shan heard this, she immediately said:

“Then Chaoyang’s real estate is my shareholding. I don’t want more. Just give me 20% of the shares. What do you think?”

Invest in shares?

That’s a property worth hundreds of millions. Now all the properties under the name of Pang Dundun’s company combined are only a little over 100 million, which is not as expensive as that property.

Lin Xu asked:

“Then you are at a disadvantage.”

“Xiao Xu, you are out of touch when you say this. Your company is an industry with a good development momentum. Just selling Ziqiang Shengjian can be worth a lot of money. Now there are only such brands in the catering market that can expand rapidly. The most profitable.”

When Lin Xu saw his wife saying this, he suggested:

“Then let’s go through the equity transfer procedures later. Should it be transferred to your company or you personally?”

Luo Shan waved her hand:

“Don’t worry, after we get the 20% of the shares, we will split them in half, half to the guarantor and half to you. The house will be divided between you two senior brothers… Don’t go bankrupt. If you go bankrupt, Your senior brother doesn’t get any dividends.”

Xie Baomin, who was holding a piece of watermelon and chewing it:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Where is my role in this?

Su Peipei was even more surprised and speechless. From her marriage to now, her master has taken great care of her family. She was able to become a teacher in No. 4 Middle School because of Uncle Gao’s entrustment.

So at this moment, Luo Shan didn’t think much about the real estate or anything else. The junior brother had just started a family and started a business, so it was normal for the elders to take care of him.

But he didn’t expect that he actually had a share in that property, and it was a 10% stake in Pangdundun Catering Company.

Su Peipei doesn’t understand these business rules, but a few days ago she read an analysis on the WeChat public account, saying that Lin Xu’s Ziqiang Shengjian is now worth at least 500 million, and if it continues to expand, it may even exceed 1 billion.

This kind of directly-operated chain fast food restaurant with good reputation has low location requirements, low cost, high profit and quick return on investment. It is definitely a cash cow.

I didn’t expect that I could own 10% of the shares. Calculated, this is a lot of money.

“Ahem…Master Wife, why do you still have my shares?”

Xie Baomin choked on the watermelon and quickly wiped his mouth and asked.

Luo Shan smiled:

“Both of you brothers are so outstanding. Naturally, I have to keep the balance. In addition, the equity of the fat general manager is too high, so I will take advantage of this opportunity.”

Seven percent of the shares is nothing for a small company, but the company under Lin Xu’s name is developing rapidly, so it needs to introduce foreign capital to suppress it.

After this share adjustment, Dou Wenjing’s shares dropped from 7% to 5.6%.

But she won’t have any objections, because the company has hundreds of millions more properties, and the market value and future prospects have improved a lot, and even loans will become easier.

With this equity adjustment, not only Dou Wenjing’s shares will be reduced, but Shen Jiayue’s shares will also be reduced from 37% to 29.6%. However, she and Lin Xu are husband and wife, and the entire company is shared by these two couples. property.

Lin Xu will receive 10% of the shares, so he will remain almost unchanged, from 56% to 54.8%.

After the equity was properly distributed, Luo Shan said to Lin Xu:

“In the future, each branch will be established as a separate company. If you are well-known in the capital, it is easy for you to become popular, so when preparing for the Chaoyang branch, we introduced some local capital in the capital, such as the Cai family and the Ning family, which makes delicious roast duck. These are your resources, use them as much as possible.”

“Xie Shiniang reminded me, this is what I planned.”

Not only will the Chaoyang branch do this, but in future branches opened in various places, Lin Xu will attract local capital to invest in it, so as to find a backer.

However, these capitals can only participate in dividends and cannot participate in management.

No matter where Lin Ji Food’s branches are, they must be directly managed by Lin Xu, and others cannot be involved to avoid causing trouble in the future.

Shen Jiayue looked at Luo Shan and asked:

“Master Wife, where are you going to move the car rental center?”

“In Daxing, the rent is cheap and business is easy to start.”

Luo Shan’s car rental company has a wide range of businesses, of which passenger cars are only a small part. The bulk of its business is various large machinery, such as mining equipment, heavy excavators, forklifts, cranes, pump trucks, etc.

These vehicles are rented to engineering companies, and they pay on schedule. If payment is not made at the end of the period, the company remotely locks the vehicles, making them unable to be started or used. Only by paying can the vehicles be remotely unlocked.

For many large-scale equipment, manufacturers and dealers only rent but do not sell. Selling is a one-time deal, while renting is a cash cow.

After talking about this, Uncle Gao and Xie Baomin began to prepare dinner. Lin Xu saw it and got up and followed, wanting to learn how to make lotus root ribbons.

“Master, how do you make this delicious?”

Lin Xu asked curiously, holding a finger-thick lotus root ribbon. This thing is a lotus root bud. If it is not pulled out now, it will grow sideways in the mud and eventually grow into a lotus root thicker than an arm.

But not all lotus root strips can grow into lotus roots, especially if they are planted too densely or the water quality is not fertile enough. Most lotus roots will stop growing when they are half grown.

Others will squeeze each other, eventually causing the lotus roots to burst and become filled with mud, making them inedible.

Therefore, every time around May Day, lotus root farmers will dig out the excess lotus roots, which can not only increase their income by selling them, but also play a role in thinning out seedlings, which is equivalent to thinning out seedlings for crops.

Uncle Gao said:

“Lotus root strips are crispy, refreshing and sweet. They can be made cold, stir-fried, stewed, baked raw, in a dry pot, in a casserole, etc. With good ingredients, no matter how you make it, the taste will be perfect.”

After speaking, he put the lotus roots in the pool and soaked them in water.

Xie Baomin found an inward-curving knife from the cupboard and followed Uncle Gao’s words and added:

“After all, lotus root strips emerge from the mud, so no matter how you eat them, you must scrape the skin. The lotus root strips without scraping the skin will taste fishy like mud, which will directly affect the overall senses.”

After saying that, he cleaned the lotus root strips, then picked up the inward-curved knife and scraped the lotus roots.

The surface of the lotus root belt has a curvature, which just fits the inner arc of the knife. With a gentle scrape, a layer of skin is scraped off the surface of the lotus root belt, and the snow-white lotus root suddenly stands out.

Scrape the lotus root strips well and then scrape the second strip.

Uncle Gao boiled a pot of water, then picked up the scraped lotus root strips and removed both ends, washed them again, and cut them into inch-long sections with a kitchen knife.

Even though these lotus root strips look like fingers, there are quite a few holes in the lotus root at the cut edges. This thing has grown hollow since it sprouted. The bigger the lotus root is, the bigger the holes will be.

Cut enough for one plate, and the water in the pot has been boiled.

Uncle Gao poured a spoonful of salt and a tablespoon of white vinegar into the pot, then poured the lotus root strips in to blanch them.

The lotus root strips are relatively thin, and there are many holes in them, so they are basically cooked as soon as they are boiled.

Take out the lotus root strips and put them directly into the ice water to cool down. Taking advantage of this time, Uncle Gao brought the kimchi jar over, filled it with some wild peppers, and also scooped up a bowl of wild pepper soup.

Seal the pickle jar again, cut the millet pepper, Erjingtiao and wild mountain pepper into pepper segments, cut the ginger into shreds, and put them all into the pickled pepper water.

Pickled peppers contain salt and sourness, so you don’t need to season them much. Cut one or two slices of lemon into it, sprinkle a little sugar for freshness, stir evenly, and the soup will become perfect.

After the lotus root strips have cooled down, use a slotted spoon to remove the water and put them in a basin.

Pour the prepared pickled pepper juice in, shake the basin a few times to mix the soup and lotus root strips thoroughly, cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator.

“It takes half an hour to taste, but it will taste better after an hour. The sourness, spiciness, saltiness and sweetness can be balanced with the crispness of the lotus root strips. If it takes longer, the taste will be too strong. On the contrary, it will taste less interesting.”

Uncle Gao made the pickled pepper lotus root strips, picked up the remaining lotus root strips, washed them, cut them into slices with a diagonal knife, and said to Lin Xu:

“These lotus root slices can be stir-fried, made into spicy and sour dishes, or stir-fried with shredded pork slices. But no matter how you make them, as long as they are stir-fried, you must add a few slices of ginger. The ginger can remove the coldness of the lotus roots and at the same time, It can bring out the umami flavor of lotus root strips.”

Any food ingredient has a suitable partner, and the best partner for lotus root strips is ginger. For many Hubei people, eating lotus root strips without ginger is simply a waste of natural resources.

Lin Xu secretly remembered it, then took out the lotus leaves and started cooking.

Chop the ribs into small pieces, soak them first, then take them out and marinate them with soy sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, green onions, ginger and other ingredients. After about a while, use starch to grasp them, then wrap them in lotus leaves and put them in a steamer for steaming. .

Get a small basin, put a tablespoon of flour, a tablespoon of starch, an egg, a tablespoon of cooking oil in it, then add salt and five-spice powder to make a thin batter, then pick off the petals of the lotus and wash them, etc. It can be fried in batter later.

While he was busy working, Uncle Gao said:

“The first banquet of the founding of the People’s Republic of China will be filmed on the weekend. Xiaoxu will make oil-glazed chicken and Bao Min will make drunken fermented shrimps. I won’t do it. The stage in the future belongs to young people. Old guys can’t always try to steal the youth. People’s limelight.”

Lin Xu didn’t expect this to be the case. He asked curiously:

“This is the most important dish in the state banquet series, and it is also the first state banquet since the broadcast. Are you really not going to participate?”

“I haven’t participated in anything. I have been doing state banquets all my life and have seen them in every occasion. In the future, I plan to discuss the teaching materials with Lao Guo and Lao Qiu and try to draw up all the courses before the school is repaired.”

Xie Baomin asked in a low voice:

“Master, why do you suddenly don’t like to be in the limelight?”

The two senior brothers were a little unaccustomed to it, and they always felt that they were different from the master they knew.

Uncle Gao said while cutting ginger slices:

“I feel bored, but the teaching is quite interesting, and Xiaoxu’s school has also set up advanced training classes for chefs of all levels, which is very suitable for us old guys to stand on the stage and rely on our old skills. This is enough.”

Since Uncle Gao didn’t want to participate in the filming of the last state banquet, Lin Xu didn’t force it.

I just hope that when the time comes, I can perform well and earn enough face for my master.

The three masters and apprentices quickly made a table of meals.

When they were about to eat, Geng Lele brought Lucy over to eat. The two of them also bought a box of kvass, as if they would never return until they were drunk.

Shen Jiayue immediately became excited when she saw the Sand Sculpture Team’s limited drink:

“Haha, you know there is our exclusive beer. Get me a bottle. I want to drink it today.”

Lucy said seriously:

“Drinking is not good for your health…”

Roxanne glanced at her, her eyes full of care for the mentally retarded.

“Sister Yue, this lotus flower is so fried, so crispy and fragrant!”

“Of course, the master is very good at making lotus root belts. Master’s wife is really lucky.”

“It’s not that I’m lucky, I’m just better than some foreign devils. Come here, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. These lotus root strips are quite fresh. If we’re not busy tomorrow, let’s go to the ginkgo garden to pick some more.”

Lucy didn’t know that she was being taken along. As soon as she heard about going to the Ginkgo Garden, she suggested going by bike and said she wanted to compete with Luo Shan.

It’s absolutely pleasurable to have your love rival follow you and eat your ass.

But Roxanne is not fooled:

“Okay, bikes with less than one million yuan are prohibited from participating. What do you think?”

Of course Lucy can’t beat Roxanne, especially when competing for financial resources, she will be turned into a scumbag instantly.

She said angrily:

“No wonder those competitions set many conditions. It must be a conspiracy of capitalists.”

Shen Jiayue took a sip of kvass and talked about her plans to travel.

Lucy was so envious of her, but when Shen Jiayue invited her to go with him, this proletarian warrior from the West couldn’t help but shake his head:

“I don’t want to go, I don’t want to be a light bulb… I joined a cycling club and went cycling on weekends. They were very disdainful at first and said that it was forbidden to join a bicycle with less than 3,000 yuan. I lit up When I turned on my bike, those people started calling me “rich woman” again… Why can’t those with a bicycle price of less than 3,000 yuan join? The poor are not even qualified to ride a bicycle?”

Geng Lele smiled:

“Hey, aren’t these people just trying to show off? This is especially true in the field of cycling. You have to ride a bike that costs two or three thousand, and they can’t stop sarcastically making fun of them, and then inadvertently post about their overdraft expenses and Weili loans. The bicycle I saved up to 10,000 yuan should be treated like my biological father.”

Lin Xu ate the lotus root strips on the table. He knew it was not unpalatable, but he didn’t expect it to be so delicious.

Whether served cold, stir-fried, or stewed in a casserole, it tastes sweet and refreshing, and very comfortable.

Xie Baomin asked curiously:

“Junior brother has been eating lotus root strips. Are you planning to introduce new ones in the store?”

“I do have this idea, but I have to ask Lao Huang first to see what the price of lotus root strips is. This thing is not stored well, so you can’t buy too much at one time. If the price is high, even if it tastes good, it won’t be sold in the store. newest.”

When doing catering, you can’t just pursue delicious food, and profits can’t be ignored. This is why many chefs end up failing when opening restaurants.

I wanted so much to make delicious food for customers without considering the cost. In the end, I couldn’t make ends meet and had to close the business hastily.

On the contrary, the kind of boss who doesn’t know how to cook can actually open the business for a longer time, because they think from a business perspective, and they must make the dishes as delicious as possible while ensuring profits, so as to gain a good reputation. Double profits.

Uncle Gao pointed to the lotus leaf steamed pork ribs in the middle and said:

“This dish is more suitable for summer, and lotus leaves are cheap. You can try making it in the store. As for the lotus root strips, just treat it as a seasonal side dish. Only serve it as a cold dish, not hot, otherwise it will reduce the sales of other dishes.”

He must be a professional master, he can see through Lin Xu’s thoughts at a glance.

“Thank you, Master, for your advice. I will study it when I get back later. You are right. It can be served as a cold dish.”

But even if you only have cold dishes, you can still make them in a variety of ways. For example, the pickled pepper flavor that the master made today can be made into sweet and spicy or sweet and sour flavors later on. There are many methods.

Moreover, cold lotus root strips, no matter what flavor they are, can increase appetite. Maybe customers should add more vegetables while eating.

After drinking and eating, everyone sat down and chatted for a while, then left.

Lin Xu drove Geng Lele and Lucy to Tsinghua and Peking University respectively, and then drove home.

After arriving home, he turned on the TV for Dundun and called Lao Huang.

“Boss Huang, is it easy to buy lotus root strips here in the capital? What’s the price?”

Lao Huang immediately said:

“Yes, now is the time to go on the market. It’s not expensive. If you want it, I can send some over tomorrow?”

Lin Xu thought about the customer flow in the store and said:

“Okay, let’s test the water first by getting 70 to 80 jins. If possible, I will get more than 100 jins every day from now on. We can discuss the specific amount later.”

“Okay, okay, no problem. I’ll send it to you early tomorrow morning. I guarantee you won’t miss anything.”

After hanging up the phone, Lao Huang smiled and said to Mrs. Huang:

“In terms of excellence in the catering industry, it has to be Lin Ji. Just trying out one dish requires using seventy or eighty kilograms of ingredients. No wonder those colleagues are jealous.”

Mrs. Huang glanced at him:

“Sister Li in the office said that she is tortured every day until her legs become weak. I am also jealous.”

Lao Huang: “…”

These are not the same thing, so why just push them up?

No, you have to find a fault and make a mistake proactively to get yourself a chance to sleep on the sofa, otherwise you will be chewed alive by this bitch… Oh, if she could be ten years younger, she would be able to tolerate her being so arrogant!

Lao Huang took a sip of the wolfberry water in front of him, his eyes filled with sadness, anger and desolation…

The next morning, Lin Xu did not cook at home, but came to the store early to check the condition of the lotus root strips.

After arriving, I just put Dundun on the service table and let him go back to sleep when he saw Lao Huang walking in with two dark circles under his eyes and holding his waist.

He asked curiously:

“Boss Huang, what’s going on?”

Lao Huang sighed meaningfully:

“If you have a good wife at home, it’s hard to treat wolfberry…”
