Qin Lang’s goal of participating in the Leaping Fish Banquet this time was to win the youth group championship.
The moment he saw this reward, it undoubtedly greatly mobilized his enthusiasm.
Of the five people present, except Shen He, all were to participate in the Leaping Fish Banquet.
So after the announcement was issued, they had no more thoughts for idle chat. “Qin Lang, I will perform my best at the Leaping Fish Banquet!” Shen Qian waved at Qin Lang, “Don’t expect to defeat me as easily as this time!” The theme of the food fight this time is livestock. For Shen Qian, who lives in Mingjing Province, the best is undoubtedly seafood.
Therefore, she was confident of bringing a better dish than Red Cooked Beef Slices at the Leaping Fish Banquet, and it was not impossible to defeat Qin Lang.
“Okay.” Qin Lang nodded seriously, “In these ten days, I will also prepare well for the Leaping Fish Banquet, just wait and see!”
Set up a stall!
He would set up a stall when he returned!
“So what should we sell?”
In the hotel, Qin Lang, with his chin in his hand, sat at the desk, showing a thoughtful look.
On a piece of draft paper in front of him, various dishes he knew were written messily.
Dan Bao and Spicy on the side were looking at the draft paper as if they were looking at the Bible.
Over such a long period, the two of them were now literate.
So they knew that most of the densely packed dishes on this draft paper were ones they had not eaten before.
No, it should be said that there weren’t many dishes they had eaten!
Now that Qin Lang’s hero recipes… no, the ocean of recipes were revealed!
The two little ones looked at each other and reached a consensus at this moment.
They had to find a way to get Qin Lang to make a few new dishes!
Qm Lang didn’t care about the glances between the two little guys, looking at the content on the draft paper, and the pen in his hand was nodding on the desk.
Before, he had already roughly analyzed several key points to pay attention to when setting up a stall. After seeing the exact rules of the announcement, Qin Lang’s ideas remained unchanged.
Youth groups could only prepare two kinds of delicious dishes, so one of the dishes must reasonably priced, relatively popular, while the ingredients of the other could be somewhat higher, with the price a bit higher.
After some thinking, Qin Lang drew out another piece of paper from the stack of draft paper on the table.
On the paper were rows of prices, which Qin Lang had collected from the Association certified Food Material Market when he went grocery shopping the other day.
Prices of ingredients are closely related to local conditions.
The price list of common ingredients in Yue Hu City found in Qin Lang’s hands, where many of the prices were completely different from those in Dongxia City’. The price of livestock had risen slightly, while the price of seafood had dropped significantly, with prices of various river fish even decreased by more than 50%.
This was because Jumping Fish Lake was in Yue Hu City.
The aquaculture industry here was incredibly developed.
The prices of seafood had also dropped a lot.
While Yue Hu City was not near the sea, Mingjing Province was coastal.
The Beautiful Bay to the south of the Samiya Region was known as the sea of blessings, with numerous varieties of seafood of very high quality.
Many southern cities of Mingjing Province, led by Crown Ling City, which had excellent fishing environments, not only provided various seafood ingredients to all the cities in Mingjing Province each day, but also exported them to other provinces.
So seafood was a high-quality, low-cost ingredient in Mingjing Province. However, the prices of mountain delicacies were quite a bit more expensive compared to other places, as there were almost no mountains in Mingjing Province.
Soon, Qin Lang had chosen the more affordable dish – Crab Roe Fried Rice.
Yes, Crab Roe Fried Rice was affordable.
The best place to get Hairy Crabs in the Samiya region was Mengze Province in the heartland of Samiya, where Qin Lang had previously exchanged with his Cooking Competition Points.
Next up were the Hairy Crabs from the Jumping Fish Lake.
Their quality was slightly inferior, but the good ones could still be on par with the Hairy Crabs from the Yangcheng Lake in his previous world, making them excellent ingredients.
Most importantly, they didn’t need to be exchanged with competition points. Qin Lang roughly calculated that if he cooked a portion of Crab Roe Fried Rice that was filling enough, the cost would be around two hundred yuan.
Qm Lang had analyzed before that having a hearty portion in a stall might not be a good thing.
Therefore, the portion of the Crab Roe Fried Rice had to be reduced. Soon, Qin Lang remembers the so-called “one bite rice” he had eaten in some restaurants that emphasize style and petty bourgeoisie in his previous life. They were served in exquisite containers the size of a fist, the rice that could be finished in two or three mouthfuls, was paired with a variety of dishes on top, and a portion could sell for a dozen or twenty yuan.
If he can keep the servings of crab roe fried rice to similar proportions, he can keep the cost to below twenty yuan.
In this world, high-quality ingredients are expensive. Qin Lang had already pushed his limit by maintaining similar prices to his previous life.
Another advantage of crab roe fried rice is that it can be cooked in batches.
With Dan Bao around, shelling a crab would be convenient.
The process of frying crab roe can be done in large pots.
Also, with reduced serving sizes, a pot of crab roe could be enough for hundreds of servings of crab roe fried rice.
“The first dish, crab roe fried rice!” Qin Lang circled ‘Crab Roe Fried Rice’ on the draft paper.
Dan Bao and Spicy’s eyes lit up simultaneously.
Although it is not a new dish, they also loved crab roe fried rice.
In particular, Dan Bao always felt overly pleased as if he was avenging a dreadful enemy each time he ate it.
“Next is the second one.” Qin Lang once again fell into deep thought.
Crafts are considered river seafood.
So, seafood should be served next?
With Fresh Full around, he had a massive advantage when cooking seafood.
Should he make sashimi?
Forget it.
Qin Lang quickly dismissed that idea.
This dish doesn’t require much skill, it doesn’t show off his culinary abilities, plus, not everyone can accept it.
His gaze shifted to the price list beside him and he circled the seafood items.
“King Crab, Black Tiger Shrimp, Small Green Dragon, Beautiful Dragon (Wave Dragon)…”
One after another, the ingredients were marked by him because they were of high quality but not outrageously expensive.
In the end, Qin Lang stared at the entire page of circled seafood items and fell into deep thought.
The struggle is real, folks!
“Why can I only make two dishes?” Qin Lang sighed in exasperation, “With so many options, which ones should I choose?”
Hearing Qin Lang’s question, Dan Bao’s eyes lit up.
A great opportunity to trick Qin Lang into cooking a new dish!
“Gurgle!”
I suggest trying each to see how they taste!
“In your dreams.” Qin Lang tapped Dan Bao’s head.
Making so much, can you finish it?
“Click!”
Can we put them all in one dish?
Spicy had a unique idea.
“Put them all in one dish?”
At first Qin Lang was surprised, but then he became silent.
Right, that seems like a good idea.
Is there a suitable recipe for that?
Of course, there is.
His eyes became brighter and brighter, until he finally made up his mind.
“Let’s make a Seafood Medley with Sauce!”
Only children make choices, adults choose everything.
He quickly started to estimate the cost.
Selling it by the pound, mixing the expensive and cheaper seafood can effectively lower the unit price.
In this way, the cost can be reduced to a hundred yuan per pound…
Qin Lang tossed his pen aside.
“Let’s set up the stall!”
