When the fireworks bloom in the sky, it also means the completion of this new commercial street.
Oriental Food Street has a very uncreative name, but it is destined to become the most famous food destination in the world.
"Thank you for your support. The shops here are all about the local taste from Dongguo. The shop opens today and offers half price. If you fill out a questionnaire after eating, you can get another discount."
Subtle names and signboards such as "Hometown Cuisine Kaifeng Cuisine" and "Hometown Cuisine Wanjing Roast Duck" appear on the streets here.
Official promises to Lu Pingan began to be fulfilled, and the first batch of stores of these chain stores affiliated to the National Grain Group were opened in Lu Pingan's territory.
"Hurry up and make statistics"
Lu Pingan himself also participated in the ribbon-cutting, not because he was really free, but because he wanted to advertise himself to promote these stores.
He ate all the way "with great interest" and chatted with the store managers to take photos. Soon, these photos would appear in chain stores in other areas.
Advertising is one aspect. Proclaiming "This is the industry I protect" is the key. In this world, the threat from the powerful is real. They may really refuse to give me face for the sake of "You dare to eat the King's meal!" No.
Came thousands of miles to hunt him down.
"Sure enough, the effect is quite average."
This time, Lu Pingan ate quite happily. It was the first time for him to eat many delicacies.
But the fish people and the long-hand tribe don't like this taste prepared for the people of the East. Even the expressions of those who spread phosphorus are quite subtle.
This is something to be expected. After all, differences among various races already exist. Forcing "uniformity" and "everyone is the same" is really uncomfortable.
"Fish people like cooked food and generally hate seafood. Well, they generally can't eat salty dishes because they are used to sea water? But they like to eat sweet, spicy, spicy chicken and the like. They like it very much. Too
Not even spicy ones, their digestion seems to be poor.”
This is the advantage of the food street. There are many flavors of Eastern cuisine. If you go out on this street, you might find something that suits your taste.
Contrary to most expectations, fish people not only don't like raw food, but also hate eating fish. Perhaps this is because the image of fish people naked in the sea and then eating them raw is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, giving everyone a stereotype. From the questionnaire
Judging from the results, they like fruit dishes most, followed by well-cooked meat.
"On a ten-point scale, our store probably scores between 1 and 6. Overall, it's quite pessimistic."
This is completely an expected development, but it still makes the master chefs a little frustrated. The customers really don't understand and don't like to eat the delicacies they carefully prepared.
"Come on, everyone, I believe that with your abilities, you can abandon your past experience and quickly come up with products that meet the needs of the new market."
Mr. Lu is very optimistic. The level of these chefs is all up to par. All of them are senior chefs with Chinese characters. Their mission is to constantly study the appetites of local people and come up with new signature dishes suitable for promotion by various chain stores.
In this process, it is not only the dishes and the diners that need to be reconciled, but also the food materials and the dishes. It is impossible for the world to constantly airlift materials from hometowns. Localization is inevitable, and local species must also be alienated here.
The taste, nutrition, and safety all require constant preparation.
But Lu Ping'an is confident because he has confidence in these high-quality talents (many of whom are professional chefs). The master chefs who can be dispatched with high salaries by Dongguo's large companies are all those that Lu himself cannot recruit on weekdays.
Talent.
In terms of taste, ingredients, safety, and nutrition, some of them may return to their hometown, but before leaving, they will try their best to standardize the regular dishes of each chain store.
"The tastes of various ethnic groups are very different, and the food intake is also very different. The taste of the Changshou tribe is very light, but they attach great importance to the appearance of food, especially the color. I doubt that their olfactory perception ability is really good in their eyes.
Tasted by 'seeing'."
"Now it seems that a standard process cannot solve the problem at all. We must customize packages according to race."
"The fishman barbecue set? The long-hand steamed rice set? Is this a bit racially charged?"
"No, we are not the Citi Federation. Besides, the differences between humans on earth are really not big, but we are indeed different species in front of us. The difference is here, they are two different things."
After listening to the meeting between the master and the manager in charge, Lu Ping'an left.
Leave professional matters to professionals. Since Lu Ping'an has determined the level of the other party, he will naturally not interfere. He just sent the chef from his hometown restaurant and the chef class from the Redemption to let him learn on the way.
Also improve your own food and business.
"Next stop, garment factory"
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are basic necessities and are indispensable living resources for most living things. The first batch of investments in Dongguo are mostly based on this aspect.
When Lu Ping'an first arrived at the "Fashion Street", he knew there was no need to go in.
Various ready-made clothes, the way the women of the Changshou tribe happily wear their cotton-padded jackets as vests is too funny, and the way the fishmen wear a pair of trousers as a skirt is too eye-catching.
Obviously, the first batch of ready-to-wear products are just for fun and require professional adjustments by the masters.
But judging from the overjoyed expressions of the locals who came out here, the market in this area is much better than the food.
Lu Pingan thought about it and almost guessed the reason.
The locals in front of them were wearing strange clothes, but they were basically wearing them correctly. They didn't have socks on their hands or underwear on their heads. They saw these clothes at the "human master".
Aesthetics is actually a relative concept. We have to admit that the higher status of human beings in this world has indeed distorted local aesthetics, making these obviously ordinary and ill-fitting clothes sell quite well.
“Next stop”
Lu Ping'an shook his head, these things can only happen naturally.
"Shipyard"
As expected, the first batch of local machinery industries was also the shipbuilding industry, but the various locally brought machines have not yet opened here and are still smoking. They still need to adapt to the local environment and deployment.
Shipbuilding masters from the ancient city provide guidance here, along with local engineers. Their first-mover advantage can save the new shipyard many years of technology accumulation.
Looking at the busy factory area, Lu Pingping did not cause any trouble.
He just walked all the way silently, watching various "investments" come to fruition and watching his new home slowly rise.
