Chapter 194 Fengze Garden is popular again
With He Daqing's suggestion, Nan Yi's thoughts seemed to be completely opened up.
In the next few days, Nan Yi stayed in the kitchen every day, looking at the pile of ingredients and fell into deep thought. Then, he began to try again and again.
I have to say that Nan Yi's cooking talent is truly extraordinary. In just one week, he developed a series of low-cost meals.
Not only are there all kinds of vegetable dumplings, but also a wide range of creative dishes. Even the most ordinary corn noodles can be made into new styles by him.
In addition, although ordinary people cannot afford to eat meat, broth is still okay.
In this way, the cost was greatly reduced, and He Daqing also asked other chefs to follow suit, and soon the dishes created by Chef Nan Yi were popularized in Fengze Garden and the Civilian Canteen.
Of course, as the ingredients have changed, the price has naturally dropped significantly.
For a time, it caused quite a stir in the city.
"What's going on? It's fine if it's just a commoner canteen, but how come even Fengze Garden has become a commoner restaurant?"
"This... this price is too cheap, right? It seems that eating at Fengze Garden is more cost-effective than eating at home."
"Don't mention it, it's cheap and delicious, the chef at Fengze Garden is just amazing!"
Ordinary people usually eat simple meals, which are either not filling or lack nutrition. But in Nan Yi's hands, these meals are not only filling but also nutritious. With reasonable combinations, you will never get tired of them.
The point is, Fengzeyuan used to be a place that everyone wanted to go to but couldn't afford to eat at, but now the prices have dropped significantly, and for a while, it caused a huge sensation.
Even ordinary people want to come in and have a taste.
You won’t know the result until you try it, and you’ll be shocked.
They couldn’t imagine that even the simplest wild vegetables and cornmeal could be eaten in so many ways!
Of course, the most important thing is that it is cheap.
Especially for families with children, it’s okay for adults to eat simple meals, but many children find it difficult to swallow the same food every day. However, when they come to the civilian canteen or Fengze Garden, the same ingredients can be made into different flavors. For them, it is like discovering a new world.
"Let's go to Fengze Garden for a meal today!"
"The owner of Fengzeyuan is such a nice guy. He actually came up with so many new dishes, and they're cheap. I have to go there for a meal!"
"Have you heard? The civilian canteen has now started a meal delivery service, specifically for delivery to major factories!"
Yes, in business, price is always the first advantage.
And on the basis of advantageous prices, if the food can be made more delicious, it will be simply unbeatable.
With the promotion of the cheap menu, Fengze Garden and the canteen, which had been severely affected, became popular again. There was an endless stream of people coming to eat every day.
Yes, it was originally a place for rich people to eat, but now it has suddenly become the home of ordinary people. It would be strange if it is not popular.
As for those powerful people?
At the beginning, many people were still unwilling to do so, thinking that it was not presentable enough. However, after Lin Chaoming brought a group of leaders to Fengze Garden to experience the meal in person, everyone completely gave up their original idea.
Although the ingredients have changed, the food at Fengzeyuan is still delicious.
Moreover, the government is in trouble now, and if the leaders continue to eat and drink lavishly, the impact will not be good. Now Fengzeyuan has made improvements and all the dishes have become affordable. In this way, they can enjoy delicious food without having to consider the impact, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
In Lin Chaoming's words, food is precious now, everything needs to be frugal and not wasteful. Well, things like this must be supported!
Therefore, the leaders who had originally moved to the Eighth Building for the banquet returned to Fengze Garden.
Some people even started to take pride in eating these vegetable dumplings.
Don’t officials just want a good reputation?
Everything is afraid of someone taking the lead. Even these big leaders have taken the initiative to take the lead in "eating coarse food". Naturally, other leaders no longer dare to go to the Eighth Building to eat and drink. They all follow suit and come to Fengze Garden or the Civilian Canteen to share the joys and sorrows with the people.
As a result, the good business in the Eighth Building suddenly became deserted.
After figuring out the whole story, these bosses all showed helpless smiles on their faces.
They all try to make the food perfect, but never thought that some people are going down the drain. But the general trend is that the food they make is expensive and no one eats it, so what should they do? They can only follow the example of Fengzeyuan and start to try to learn how to make ordinary people's food.
As for Fengze Garden, a new road has been completely opened up.
That’s right, fast food culture!
Now that the price has been lowered, if you want to make a profit, you have to increase sales.
The canteen and Fengze Garden alone were far from reaching the original turnover, so He Daqing simply opened a meal ordering service.
Every day, the civilian canteen would send a large amount of fast food to nearby factories. Not only was the price cheaper than before, but there were also both meat and vegetarian dishes, and they were delicious. Naturally, these factories welcomed it very much.
"Daqing, you are the one with the best ideas!"
On this day, Lin Chaoming came to Fengze Garden again and specifically praised He Daqing.
Lin Chaoming smiled and said,
"This initiative of yours is great. It not only solves the food shortage problem for the government to a great extent, but also improves the social atmosphere a lot!"
This is not Lin Chaoming exaggerating.
In the past two years, with the large-scale social construction, although all walks of life have made great progress, the country as a whole is still very poor.
However, among their leadership, there is a phenomenon of extravagant eating and drinking, and it is not an isolated case but very common.
Now, taking advantage of the improvement in the food at Fengze Garden, word has been passed down from above that these leaders will be subject to new discipline.
As for Lin Chaoming, because he strongly supported Fengzeyuan's meal-giving activities at the grassroots level, he was directly regarded as a role model for other leaders to learn from.
"No, no, to be honest, this is something I have no choice but to do."
He Daqing shrugged and smiled modestly.
"As for me, I still hope that the difficulties will pass quickly. Who doesn't want to eat meat and drink wine?"
"Too."
Lin Chaoming agreed with this and looked at He Daqing and said,
"We have become masters of our own destiny, isn't it just to live a good life? However, as long as we unite and work together, the difficult days will eventually pass. Don't worry, when the grain price stabilizes, I will support you no matter what you do!"
Making affordable food is just a stopgap measure. If it continues like this, then what is the point of people’s hard work?
Once food supplies return to normal, Fengzeyuan will restore its original cuisine.
