A List for a Long-Time Reader in a Reading Slump

I have never read this book, but when I crossed it, I first saw that it started with Madou, and then I went back and took a closer look, and it turned out to be Mapo Tofu 😰😰
I haven't watched it yet. I hope there won't be a plot where the protagonist sells a portion of egg fried rice for 188 and the customer says it's cheap.
I can't understand why the author is obsessed with low prices
The prices of many dishes are considered too low by a large number of readers, and can even be considered cheap sales, such as the 25 yuan Wensi Tofu... And I don't understand the reason why the male protagonist is always priced so low. After all, the male protagonist is first and foremost a human being and a filial son. He also has a mother to support. The family situation is not actually rich. He should have the desire to make money to give his mother a good life. But the protagonist does business at a loss, or simply earns money for hard work, completely selling off the skills that the protagonist has practiced for decades, or ten, or several years, just like dumping at a low price. During this period, the protagonist's mother felt that she was overworked. The key point also lies in the protagonist's own thoughts. What is the reason why he is obsessed with the low price? Just to complete the system's tasks as soon as possible? What about his thinking and weighing as a human being, a son, and a chef? It feels like he is too saintly, and he looks like a tool for the system and the author. The consequence of this is that some readers feel very inconsistent or even resentful. After all, everyone generally resents the mismatch of morals, and accordingly hopes that the male protagonist can receive treatment that matches his skills.
In this kind of food novel, the author always inevitably sells state banquet-level dishes at the same price as a fast food restaurant 😅
By the way, I just remembered that the author probably has never worked in a restaurant. He sold 3,000 portions of braised pork in 21 days and at least several thousand portions of mapo tofu. Not to mention the other two people would not be able to handle it. Even if they only sold 3,000 portions of braised pork in 21 days, they would not be able to make it. You can think of it this way, a table is reserved for ten people. With a few people at 15, five tables of braised pork in the morning and five tables in the afternoon, plus the cleaning, it will exhaust you to death (* ̄m ̄) One person will only disturb a table for more than ten minutes. Not to mention other things, I have done it in a restaurant. It is impossible for you to just wipe the table clean. You must at least sweep the floor and disinfect the utensils. And you I didn't hire someone to wash the dishes. You are really a tough guy and you can't do it anymore. You're already exhausted. Anyway, I just remembered that it's a bit too unreal. The more you go on, the more tired you become. Our restaurant only has people coming from around 11 am to 2 pm. If you cook more than 100 dishes in one noon and wash dishes and pick vegetables in a mess, you insist on doing it all the time. After trying it for a month, I was really tired and vomiting blood. A real person would definitely die before he was 30 years old if he did this. He was risking his life to make money. ←_← You have to at least have someone to wash the dishes. You also have to hire someone to pick vegetables. It's not as simple as you think. Plus, the price is too low. How can it be so cheap with all the messy water and electricity bills? Of course, it is also possible that the braised pork is less, 35 yuan for four yuan, otherwise you can earn a few yuan in a while. According to the amount outside, a portion is more than a kilogram and it is garbled. Counting the cost, at least more than 20 yuan, which means that you can earn less than 10 yuan per portion. Plus the mapo tofu is a loss, it is equivalent to not making a penny in two months and losing money. You have to hire people to help cook and cut the meat. It is definitely impossible to be busy. You can't cook at the same time. While chopping vegetables, customers can't come at the time you want. I think you haven't improved since then, and it feels like you lack some common sense in life. The rest is fine, but the story is too long and the writing is too closely related to the characters in the play, which is not good. You can look at the novels about kitchenware written by others, which ones are really touching. Yours is just a short story, and the sense of division when put together is too strong.
At first glance, I thought it started with Madou
I really like this. Every dish is a short story, and every dish has a process. Unlike other novels, the system learns a dish easily without having to do it by myself. There are also some novels where a dish is extremely expensive. Food is for people to enjoy, not for rich people. You can have it a little more expensive, but a dish of egg fried rice costs hundreds. Who can eat it? It is completely isolated from the common people, so it is still called a dish? Learning to cook has a process and a goal, and the food that comes out can bring joy to everyone. That's called food, that's called cooking And Yueyue's appearance in reality is a poisonous point? People have been together for decades and have feelings, not to mention that the two people have no intersection in reality. At most, the relationship between the guest and the chef is poisonous. They are not the same person and have no memory. Why not let them live a good life in the real world? I think the author is good about this I won't mention the 1-yuan Mapo Tofu. I've made money from other dishes and there are still people who are struggling. It's not that you lose money, it's just a marketing ploy. The reality is worse than this. Why don't you mention it? The author's character portrayal is good. This book is more comfortable to read than other food novels.
"Flavour" Food Building
Posts on this floor must be accompanied by pictures, or only pictures. The content is about the food you cooked by yourself, or the food you thought was delicious and beautiful when eating out, or what you had for lunch, morning and evening today, takeaway, snacks, and snacks are all acceptable. You can even do Amway food for everyone, how to make Amway food, and what delicious food Amway has in your own city. When there are more pictures, if you don't know what to eat for lunch every day, you can come here to choose.
I was discouraged from buying tofu for 1 yuan. People, at least not, do not have brains.
Please don't think that eating can strengthen your body, and then sell it so expensive that a group of people rush to buy it, please.
