Chapter 301 Moderation and a Little
Using a little honey and some fresh seasonal fruits, Heath made a delicious fruit shaved ice, which is definitely very popular in the hot summer . However, Changqing City is still at the end of the return of the south wind, so it will take some time for the shaved ice to become popular.
After all, not many people like to eat shaved ice in winter. When the weather warms up and the sky is clear after a while, it is time for shaved ice to show its power.
But the other problem is that the profit is a bit low. After all, shaved ice is positioned as an ordinary food. If it is made very expensive, it will lose the original meaning of shaved ice. It is like drinking milk tea. In the beginning, nine-tenths of a cup of milk tea was milk tea, and the rest were ingredients. But now, the whole cup of milk tea is almost made up of ingredients. If Heath didn't know, he would have thought he was drinking porridge .
However, saying that it is drinking porridge is an insult to porridge. After all, drinking porridge is quite good and nourishes the stomach. But drinking milk tea that is like porridge can be regarded as reopening early, and all kinds of problems such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol will come knocking on the door.
"This price... Forget it, just make two Alliance coins per serving, and sell more at a lower profit." Seath hesitated for a moment, and looking at Snorlax who was very happy because he could help him, Seath still sighed. Even if it was to make Snorlax smile again, Seath felt that he would definitely sell this shaved ice. Although the profit was not much and it was a bit troublesome to make, it was not impossible.
Small profits but quick turnover is not just talk, and Heath has visited many places during this period. There are fewer and fewer places selling shaved ice on the market, and even if there are, they are very expensive. Heath feels that the launch of his shaved ice will be a dimensionality reduction attack on them.
Just when Heath was about to return to Junsha's dormitory, Heath found that there was an extra person in front of him. The black-haired Nancy was looking at him with her hands folded, and her indifferent eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
"Ms. Naz? Would you like to eat something?" Heath looked at Naz with surprise, then asked with a smile. Naz was a big customer, and she always paid generously, as if 'Mr. Zhao paid for all the consumption today'.
However, Nancy's personality is still much better than Mr. Zhao's. Although she has no expression most of the time, and only shows a slight smile when facing Mr. Sakaki, if Heath was not good at observing people's micro-expressions, Heath himself would not be able to see Nancy's smile.
"...I...don't understand this." Naz took out a cookbook and handed it to Heath to take a look. Heath looked at it curiously. It was a handwritten cookbook with very beautiful words. Compared with Heath's snow chicken feet-like words, it was more than one level higher.
However, Heath didn't care too much about the text. He was looking at the cookbook that Nancy handed to him. The place where Nancy pointed was written like this.
[…Add a little salt and appropriate amount of MSG to season…]
It was a very simple sentence, but Nancy's hand kept pointing here. It was obvious that this sentence made Nancy very conflicted, so much so that she ran to ask Heath for his opinion.
"Is there something you don't understand?" Heath looked at the recipe in his hand. This recipe was for seafood fried rice, which in Heath's opinion could be described as a fool-proof dish. After all, as long as you follow the recipe, there will basically be no problems.
"...How much is a little? How much is an appropriate amount?" Nancy spoke normally for a rare moment. Heath was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. This was the question he had been thinking about for so long.
As we all know, in the cooking field, words like "a little", "appropriate amount" and "almost" are very confusing to beginners. How much is an appropriate amount of salt? One or half a spoonful? How much is a little vinegar? Ten milliliters or one milliliter? This is a very annoying question, but in fact, these "appropriate amount" and "a little" are all considerations of a chef's experience. If you are a beginner, you are usually suitable to buy those beginner recipes that fully mark the amount of ingredients to be used.
But the advantage of that kind of recipe is that if you follow the recipe, the taste will be average. However, a qualified chef will adjust . Just like Heath's cooking now, depending on the different tastes of the guests, Heath's cooking method will be slightly different. For the same portion of egg fried rice, Mr. Yaning may have half a spoonful of salt, but Mr. Kong may have one spoonful of salt.
Although there is nothing wrong with formulaic recipes, they are like those produced on an assembly line, with exactly the same taste and color. You will get sick of it if you eat too much of them. Besides, other people’s cooking packs are made in the same way, which is a big blow to the chef.
"Well, generally speaking it's determined by the amount of ingredients, but according to your recipe, Miss Nazi..." Heath estimated in his mind. After cooking for a long time, Heath can now guess the approximate taste of a food based on the recipe.
Heath wrote down to Miss Nazi the salt and chicken essence that needed to be added. This can be considered Heath's personal version, and the food made has the flavor of Heath.
"Ms. Nancy, although I have marked the amounts that need to be added, when it comes to cooking, it is actually best to cook it yourself. Only in this way will the dish taste good and have its own unique characteristics. Otherwise, if you follow the method I gave you, then what you cook will be my dish." Heath handed the recipe back and said something to Nancy. Nancy nodded silently, then put down more than a thousand Alliance coins and left.
Heath happily put the money away. Although he didn't need to pay off his debts now, he felt that the more money he had, the better. After all, there were still many things Heath wanted to buy. What's more, it was not a good idea to always live in Sister Feng's dormitory. He would have to go out and buy a house sooner or later.
"It's almost time to go back to the dormitory. It's time to go to Pallet Town tomorrow." Heath stretched lazily. The time was almost up, so Heath started his food truck and drove towards the dormitory area. Thinking of Pallet Town where he would go tomorrow, Heath felt a little excited. That was where his dream began. Heath was curious about what Pallet Town would look like at this time. Would Professor Oak still be the same?
However, as for Ash, he is definitely still the Ash who is obsessed with becoming a Pokémon master. Unfortunately, when Heath traveled through time, Ash's journey was still continuing, and it seemed that he had no intention of stopping, and time seemed to have not passed. This is really a scary story.
"Pallet Town and the specialty mushrooms there? It would be a good time to go there now." Heath seemed to be thinking about something.
