Chapter 573 Grilled Shrimp Skewers and Strange Hot Pot
"Um, boss, may I ask what your grilled shrimp skewers look like?" The man was a little hesitant. Although twelve yuan was not a lot, it was not that cheap either. In EMI City, twelve Alliance Coins could even buy a bowl of rice in some smaller shops.
So now that I heard that Heath’s grilled shrimp skewers cost twelve bucks, I naturally need to ask. Otherwise, if the shrimp skewers I buy are just two small ones, wouldn’t that be a big loss?
"It's like this." Heath calmly took out a skewer of grilled shrimps. Heath had thought before that some customers might care about these issues, so he had prepared them long ago. After seeing the skewers of grilled shrimps in Heath's hand, the man immediately asked for four skewers, and other customers also asked for a few skewers after seeing them. Heath finally counted and found that these customers had asked for a total of thirty-seven skewers.
"Luckily, the prawns I bought were in large quantities, otherwise I would have to go buy some ingredients first." Heath was not surprised. After all, the prawns Heath bought were really big. Two of them took up a whole string, which seemed like a good deal.
In fact, it is indeed very cost-effective, but Heath will not lose money either. He must make some money. After all, unless the merchants go bankrupt and have to recover funds as soon as possible, they will generally make some money. Never treat merchants as fools. There are not many who are willing to do business at a loss. Heath knew it before. During some festivals, e-commerce products will be discounted. At the beginning, it may be to increase attractiveness and popularity. They did give very high discounts and even did not make money in business, but it was not the case afterwards.
Raising prices first and then giving discounts may seem like a good deal, but merchants actually also have to make a profit. After all, merchants also need to make money to maintain their profit margins. Moreover, the discounts given in subsequent activities are becoming more and more troublesome, and the algorithms are becoming more and more complicated. People often complain that they have to do math problems to buy something.
Heath took out the prawns he had bought from the refrigerator, simply removed the shrimp thread, skewered the prawns, and put them on the grill.
Heath did not remove the shrimp heads. Shrimp heads are about 50-50 between people who like them and those who hate them. People who like them enjoy the special taste of the shrimp heads, while people who hate them find them disgusting after just one bite. So Heath left this multiple-choice question to the guests and let them choose for themselves.
Grilled shrimps are a very delicious barbecue. The taste of the barbecue itself is that of seafood, and it tastes very good. However, there are some requirements for the quality of the shrimps and the chef's ability to control the heat. It is not the first time that Heath has made grilled prawns, so it is not very troublesome to make it now. Heath grilled them in a short while, spread them with Heath's special barbecue sauce, and brought them out to the guests. Seeing the guests eating with satisfaction, Heath couldn't help but smile. It has to be said that the happiest time for a chef is to see the guests eat the food he prepared and feel very satisfied.
"The ingredients of this boss are very good. These prawns are definitely fresh, otherwise the prawn heads would have a peculiar taste." The man in the young couple took a bite of the prawn head first, then nodded with satisfaction.
As an old gourmet, the man has a strong ability to judge shrimps. In his opinion, the taste of this grilled prawns is very good and is definitely the freshest among prawns. You know, shrimps, sometimes have different prices when they are alive and dead.
The price difference between living shrimps and dead shrimps may even be as much as twice. Of course, this is also because the taste difference between the two is indeed very large. The meat of living shrimps is firm and chewy, while the meat of dead shrimps tends to become soft and rotten, and the taste is not very good.
In any case, the answer Heath gave the man made him very satisfied. After all, such delicious live shrimps, which were so big, must not be cheap. This means that Heath did not actually make much money. He was a very honest boss.
I have to say that many businesses sometimes think that customers are fools. They think that even if they cheat a little, customers won’t be able to tell the food is good or bad. They will only worry about whether it is cost-effective or not, without considering the actual situation of the ingredients. Then they can make a lot of money. However, restaurants that treat customers as fools often cannot stay open for too long, because not every customer cannot tell the taste of the food.
It’s like a national-level brand of chili cans in the previous life. After the person in charge changed, its taste changed, and the chili they chose became cheaper. This did make more money, but its market share also dropped.
Treating customers as fools can certainly make quick money for a while, but after this period of time, there will be no money to be made. Heath does not want to be such a short-sighted person. In Heath's view, customers can always feel it when you treat them attentively, and then they will express their gratitude to the store with their support.
The relationship between restaurants and guests should not be one of adversarial relationships, but one of mutual reward.
Heath didn't know that because of his grilled shrimps, his rotating hot pot had gained a pair of loyal customers in Baidai City. Even if Heath knew, he wouldn't care. His food truck has always been about using good ingredients to provide guests with a good dining experience, rather than using some inferior stuff that makes guests unhappy with their meals.
Heath now faces another problem.
"Guest, you said you wanted to eat ice cream hotpot?" Heath looked at the girls in front of him, and confirmed again.
Zoroark called him over and said that she was confused about some of the requests made by the guests, so she came to ask Heath for his opinion. When Heath came over, he heard the guests say that what they wanted to eat was hot pot, but it was ice cream hot pot.
"Yeah, we want to eat ice cream hotpot, do you have it here?" The girl in the lead was very interesting. She was wearing makeup. It's not that Heath had any objection to makeup, but because this girl was wearing colored contact lenses in the shape of hearts.
Well, think about a girl wearing heart-shaped contact lenses in her eyes. At this moment, Heath's mood became complicated. After all, things like love in the eyes are always easy to appear in some incredible comics.
"Ice cream hot pot? Of course we have that." Although he wanted to complain, Heath still nodded.
Although ice cream hot pot is also called hot pot, it is actually very different from ordinary hot pot.
