At the beginning, the development of Fu Lin Hotel, which mainly focused on seafood, went smoothly. But a few years later, the operation became more and more difficult, some shareholders disagreed, and some even withdrew their shares, so Fulin Hotel fell into a difficult period. Once, a retired friend went back to the Fulin Hotel to see Yang Guanyi. He asked, "Do you still have money for employees?" This greeting greatly stimulated Yang Guanyi, who secretly vowed to carry forward Emperor Shunzhi.
During 1977, the operation of Fulin Hotel became more and more difficult, and the chef resigned, which made people feel disheartened. Yang Guanyi resolutely went into battle and personally cooked dishes for the guests as a manager. This practice is extremely rare in the catering industry in Hong Kong, and it has greatly boosted the morale of Fulinmen employees.
In fact, from the day Flynn got into trouble, he has been observing and analyzing various restaurants in Hong Kong, hoping to find a way out. After years of observation, he found that there was a restaurant dedicated to senior diners, and the business was very prosperous. The most expensive menu in this restaurant is "abalone, ginseng, wing belly" in Chinese food, and it is also the best dish. Although expensive, the diners are full. He was greatly inspired by the success of this restaurant. After careful consideration, he decided to choose abalone, which is expensive and difficult to process, for planned research and processing. It was in the late 1970s.
At that time, it was predicted that Yang Guanyi could not succeed, because it would take two days to cook a delicious abalone, and Yang Guanyi was meticulous in his work, so everyone made of iron was exhausted. Besides, abalone itself is very expensive. In case the processing quality is not as good as that of competitors and there are no diners, the loss of the hotel will be even heavier.
But Yang Guanyi once said, "People who suffer hardships are more powerful than God." He bought abalone worth hundreds of thousands before and after, and conducted systematic research and processing. In Hong Kong at that time, the money could buy a floor.
After several years of efforts, spanning 20 years, Yang Guanyi finally successfully trial-produced delicious abalone in the early 1980s.
The method used by Yang Guanyi is to choose the best Japanese dried abalone and use traditional cooking tools; Adding charcoal to the pot kept the essence of old hen and ribs in traditional ingredients, and made unprecedented bold innovations in mastering cooking procedures such as cooking time, which eventually made his abalone gradually surpass his competitors in taste and established a reputation among Hong Kong diners.
After tasting Yang Guanyi abalone, Wang Tingzhi, a famous Hong Kong person, personally wrote the eight characters "Abalone is the best in the world", and Yang Guanyi's reputation spread like wildfire. Yang Guanyi succeeded in this way.
