An old lady in Jinan, Shandong sells sesame cakes and uses 400 kilograms of beef a day. She starts queuing up at 5 a.m.
For food, you can often see long queues in stores. There are two situations, one is The taste is indeed very good and cannot be replaced by other places or other businesses; the other tastes good but is cheap and cost-effective. There is always one that can capture the hearts of diners.
In Jinan, Shandong, there is a time-honored snack bar that specializes in making local specialty snacks - beef scones. Because the price is affordable and the individual portions are quite large, people come here to eat there every day. It is said that It opens at 5:30 in the morning, and diners have been queuing up since 5 o'clock. There are often long queues in the store during normal sales hours. This falls into the second category mentioned above.
The beef used every day is marinated in advance the night before. After cooling, it is placed in the freezer. After opening the door, it is put into the boiled marinade to continue to heat thoroughly, and then taken out and minced on site. The old lady in charge of cutting the steamed buns and filling them with meat is the proprietress. She has been doing it all day long for more than 30 years, and her hand speed is still as fast as that of a young person. The freshly braised beef exudes a strong beef flavor after being chopped into pieces, which is particularly fragrant.
The steamed buns used for beef sesame cakes are also freshly baked. The dough is cut into pieces on site, kneaded into dough, and then fried in a hot pan. The skin of the lower kang is browned. More than 1,000 kangs are needed a day, and two people are responsible for it. I’m too busy making pancakes.
After the steamed bun was baked, the lady quickly made a slit in the middle and stuffed it with a full pile of chopped ground beef. To the naked eye, the amount of meat filling inside the palm-sized steamed bun was about two or three ounces. There is a lot of beef filling. It only costs 10 yuan each. If you think the portion is not enough, you can also add meat, eggs and other side dishes.
The taste is good, and the portion is large, so the business is getting better day by day. Now about 400 kilograms of raw beef is used a day, and about 200 kilograms of marinated beef. Many customers come to buy 5, 10, and 30 pieces. Some of them are regular customers, and it is said that there are many units doing group purchases, with hundreds of units purchased at a time, which shows the status of his sesame cakes in everyone's mind.
We all know that the quality of business depends on taste, and it is not easy to maintain it for decades.
