The bowl of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles in the picture is made by myself. The personal homepage has a detailed video tutorial, which is shared with the recipe of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. If you are interested, you can go and see it.
To put it this way, the main reason for the lack of beef in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou, is that no matter what industry, there is a cost, and so is a bowl of Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou. The reason for the lack of beef is very simple, mainly the cost problem, which can be explained in many ways. The following will specifically explain its production cost and some additional storefront costs.
What's more, I can say that there is not only a shortage of beef in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, but also a poor variety of beef noodles. There are even many beef noodles without beef noodles. Why don't so many people complain?
There are a series of video tutorials made by Lanzhou Lamian Noodles on the personal homepage, and you can go and see them if you are interested.
Maybe many people will say that there is a lot of beef in so-and-so beef noodles, but I want to ask, what is the price of the bowl of beef noodles you ate? Everything has a price/performance ratio, and beef will not decrease or increase for no reason. The national average price of a bowl of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles rarely exceeds 10 yuan, unless it is in first-tier or second-tier cities, and Lanzhou Lamian Noodles in most cities is in 8 yuan or 9 yuan. At the same price, Anhui beef noodles are also called beef noodles, but there is no beef in them. Why does no one complain? I am very surprised. There is a lot of beef in the same beef noodles. The price of beef noodles in Daoxiao Noodles or Xiangyang is around 13 yuan. There is no beef in the noodles at this price, but no one will complain. Why?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because the popularity and market share of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is far higher than any other area, and the trees attract the wind. After all, we can't ask every diner to have the same quality, so naturally many people will continue to choose to eat Lamian Noodles while complaining about the beef quantity in Lamian Noodles. Remember that the noodle restaurant mainly eats noodles. Beef is only a side dish. Those who like to eat meat can order beef separately. If you have the opportunity to go to Lanzhou, you will know what it means to have no beef in beef noodles. The amount of beef in Lanzhou's beef noodles is even less and almost invisible.
The cost of ingredients in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou The important components of a bowl of Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou can be divided into three parts: Lamian Noodles soup, chili pepper and noodles. Among these three parts, the cost of soup can not be calculated by the cost of ingredients alone, because a large part of the cost of soup production is the cost of gas.
If you want to use a separate calculation method, then the soup in Lamian Noodles can be divided into two main costs: one is the beef and beef bones for cooking the soup, and the other is the Lamian Noodles soup, that is, more than 20 kinds of spices.
Price cost of beef
At present, a catty of beef sticks is 8 yuan, and one stick probably ranges from 20 yuan to 30 yuan. A catty of beef is now around 46 yuan, and the stick soup can be used repeatedly, but beef can only be boiled once, and a catty of raw beef will produce six ounces of meat when cooked, and even some beef will produce more than half a catty of meat.
In this way, a kilo of cooked beef must be sold for at least 100 yuan to ensure that it will not lose money. Perhaps most people have no idea about the weight of beef, and they can tell you that you have 50 grams of one or two pieces of beef, and there are not many pieces of one or two pieces.
There are a series of video tutorials made by Lanzhou Lamian Noodles on the personal homepage, and you can go and see them if you are interested.
The cost of Lamian Noodles soup.
Because Lamian Noodles soup is put in Lamian Noodles, you may not know what the soup is. Let's just say there are more than 20 kinds of spices in Lamian Noodles soup, among which many spices are put in the soup formula, such as pepper, tsaoko, white pepper, etc., and the proportion of the formula is very heavy. Choose spices of general quality, take pepper as an example. At least one catty of pepper in 80 yuan should be chosen for pepper, so the cost of a soup is very high.
Price cost of noodles
Anyone who has done catering knows that the profit of noodles is the highest in the catering industry. This is indeed the case. For the same bowl of noodles from Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, the general price of flour used in noodle restaurants is within 100 yuan. A bag of flour can probably produce 160 bowls to 180 bowls of noodles, so the cost of a bowl of noodles is about 0.5.
Cost price of Chili oil
Generally, the chili oil used in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is made by mixing three different kinds of dried chilies according to a certain proportion, and then crushing them into two pieces. The average price of the three kinds of chilies after mixing is about 10 yuan per catty, and the oil used is generally the first-class refined vegetable rapeseed oil in 7 yuan per catty.
Price cost of coriander and garlic seedling seasoning
Finally, there is the cost of coriander and garlic seedlings and some seasonings. This cost is not necessary, because many of them are quite different in price. For example, coriander and garlic seedlings are different in different seasons, so they are ignored for the time being.
The cost of water, electricity, gas and rent in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou, in addition to the above-mentioned cost of ingredients, some of the corresponding costs of noodle restaurants are water, electricity and rent, and there is also the cost of labor. As you may have seen above, the cost of a bowl of noodles is really not much, but what you can't ignore is that its additional cost is relatively high.
The bowl of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles in the picture is made by myself. There is a video tutorial on making this bowl of noodles on my personal homepage. You can go and see it if you are interested.
To sum up;
There is a reason why the amount of beef in a bowl of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is small. Anyone who does business wants to bring the best dining experience to diners, but because the cost is there, don't say that there is no beef in beef noodles, which makes no sense/
The personal homepage has a series of video tutorials made by Lanzhou Lamian Noodles and the sharing of various catering recipes. If you are interested, you can take a look. I will share some catering recipes regularly and explain the experience and skills of using various spices.
Beef is expensive, but it's so cheap in Lamian Noodles. First of all, popular science, many people think that Lanzhou and Lamian Noodles are not authentic all over the country, but they are not.
Lamian Noodles, a beef broth in Lanzhou, was originally a flavor food for senior guests in northwest China. Because it is delicious and economical, it can be found everywhere not only in Lanzhou, but also in many provinces and even countries and regions around the world. Lanzhou locals generally call Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles "beef noodles". Young people also call it "Niu Da" or "Niu Da Wan", which means "Da Wan Beef Noodles". It is also one of the "Top Ten Faces" of China.
There is also the question of beef. Is it good to buy the meat in beef noodles? Customers in a regular beef noodle shop want to eat beef noodles with meat. A good beef noodle restaurant sells beef better than noodles. The set meals in beef noodle chain stores are usually noodles, meat, vegetables and eggs. Of course, Lanzhou people have the habit of eating beef noodles for breakfast, and generally do not add meat. Back to the question, beef noodles, beef noodles, is a bowl of beef soup accompanied by Lamian Noodles, and the meat is embellished. Local tyrants add meat to beef noodles, and add eggs to beef noodles without meat.
Therefore, if you want to eat more meat in Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles in the future, you can directly tell your boss how much meat to add. Don't think that there is no Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou!
I sell beef soup. Tell us why there is less beef.
Let's make an account based on the price of domestic beef in the past two years. Nowadays, regardless of big cities or small towns, the disparity in beef prices is only about 10 yuan. The shops that make beef soup noodles mainly use beef brisket, triangular meat, breast meat and hind leg meat. The average wholesale price is 35 yuan. Cattle bones range from 6 to 10 yuan. When a catty of beef is cooked, it is said that one catty makes half a catty. Plus gas, the cost price is 70 to 80 a catty of cooked beef. In terms of volume, sometimes it is less than half. I specially weighed it with an electronic gram. According to each piece of beef, it is 2mm thick, 5cm long and 2cm wide. 50g can be called 10 to 12 slices of beef. That is, the cost of each piece of beef is nearly 1 yuan. Looking at noodles again, you can get a Lamian Noodles for every two or two halves of dry flour. According to the calculation of high-quality flour per bag of 50 kg 100 yuan, the cost per noodle is 4 to 50 cents, excluding labor. Look at the soup again. Take 50 kg of soup as an example. You need two beef leg bones and 10 kg of beef to boil the soup. Two beef bones are about 10 kg, which is 60 pieces if you calculate 6 fast pounds. Each bowl of soup is about six or two soups. The gas bowl is about 10 yuan (because I can cook soup for 3 to 4 days). Cook twice a day, sometimes the soup is inexhaustible. If you pack it, it may cost 1 kg. Then a pot of soup can yield 70 bowls. The price of each bowl of soup is about one yuan.
According to the netizen's advice, give at least 3 slices of beef, and sell 100 bowl every day. Then the cost of a bowl of beef in Lamian Noodles is 0.5 noodles and soup 1 minimum labor per bowl 1 yuan and minimum rent 1, and the cost is 6.5 yuan. According to most cities, Lamian Noodles has the most small bowls 10 yuan. Then the net profit of a bowl of Lamian Noodles is 3.5 yuan. (Special circumstances are not discussed here) A 50-square-meter facade earns 350 to 500 yuan a day. You see, there are at least three people in Lamian Noodles's shop. When the business is good, the daily net profit is 1000, but it is very small. Of course, doing business goes far beyond these costs.
Generally, snack bars earn hard money, and they work day and night. What a pain! Of course, it doesn't rule out that there are special beef marinades on the market. It's only about 40 pieces, but you can't eat them. I know the inside story, but I don't have time to say it. Okay, forget it. I'm going to make sesame cakes.
All Lamian Noodles lies in the soup. The soup of Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles is carefully boiled with beef and beef bones. The soup is the essence of Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles's inheritance. Moreover, Lanzhou people usually eat Lamian Noodles for breakfast, and the meat is not easy to digest. In addition, the price is expensive now, and a bowl of noodles is more than ten yuan at most. Beef is a meat with a lot of water. A catty of beef is cooked, leaving about half a catty, not to mention soup. So there are only a few pieces of Lanzhou beef and Lamian Noodles beef, beef soup and Lamian Noodles beef.
Authentic Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles was founded by Ma Baozi in 19 15, and Ma Baozi's beef noodle shop with clear soup became famous. "Yiqing (soup), Erbai (carrot), Sanling (coriander, garlic sprout), Sihong (chili pepper) and wuhuang (noodle Huang Liang)" unified the standard of Lanzhou beef noodles, and changed its name to Lanzhou beef noodles, which was widely spread among Dongxiang, Salar, Baoan and other ethnic groups in northwest China. Lamian Noodles is famous all over the world for a bowl of noodles, and it is famous at home and abroad for its rotten meat, fresh soup and fine noodles. In the meantime, it embodies the wisdom and painstaking efforts of Chen Ma and countless chefs who specialize in clear soup beef noodles.
At present, there are many Lanzhou beef shops in Lamian Noodles that are not inherited by Ma family or even opened by Lanzhou people, so it is not easy to eat authentic Lanzhou beef noodles.
I remember when I used to worship a famous snack chef in our town. When I was about to start my career, he told me that we were doing small business and targeting low-income people. But this kind of people's money is the hardest to earn. There are a large number of people who spend money on food stalls, but want to have five-star dishes. If you are engaged in this craft, you must endure it again and face their various criticisms and sarcasm, so that you can succeed.
Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, the three national snacks famous for its cheapness, can be seen all over the country. I myself often visit Lanzhou Lamian Noodles branch in various places, and the most common one is their signature dish, Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles.
On the Internet, many people ridiculed: Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles has a bowl of beef, and one cow can last them for three years.
As a person who has been engaged in the small catering industry for several years, I have to be fair to Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant. The reason why Lanzhou beef and Lamian Noodles beef are scarce is not only normal, but also Lanzhou beef and Lamian Noodles are the most economical fast food snacks in many areas.
0 1 Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles, one of the reasons for the lack of beef, was the first time I went out of town in 200 1 year and stayed in Zhaoqing, Guangdong for more than six years. At that time, I occasionally went to eat Lanzhou beef noodles on the side in the morning. At that time, the price of a bowl was in 3 yuan. In 2008, I went to Heyuan, Guangdong, and the price of a bowl in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou was 20/kloc.
I forgot what the market price of beef was in 200 1 year, but in 2008, the price of beef in my place was 20~24 yuan, and the average market price of raw beef in China was about 16.77 yuan.
In 20 13, the local beef price in Zhoukou was around 28 yuan. The key point is now, in my Foshan area, from 20 18 to the present, the beef price sold in the market is between 45~60 yuan. However, the beef released in Lamian Noodles is marinated beef. Generally speaking, a catty of raw beef can only marinate 3~6 ounces of cooked beef.
This also means that the cost of beef noodles sold in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou is already very high, so we will calculate it according to the compromise. The price of buying a catty of beef is 50 yuan, and half a catty of marinated beef is calculated. Half of the raw meat in 50 yuan is lost, and the price of marinated beef is sold to a catty in 75 yuan, so as to break even.
However, although there is little beef in Lamian Noodles, the sliced beef should weigh about10g, and the cost of a kilo is 500g in 75 yuan.10g cost: 75 yuan divided by 500g equals 0.13g in 5 yuan, and10g times 0./kloc-.
However, in addition to beef, Lanzhou beef noodles also cost coriander, chopped green onion, soup, rent, three labors and noodles. They have to earn a little money and sell them to 9 yuan for a bowl, which is really not expensive at all.
02 Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles, the second reason for the lack of beef is that there are more than one restaurant selling beef noodles in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. For example, in 20 13, when I was in Zhoukou, Henan, there was also a local restaurant chain called Baiyan Lamian Noodles.
According to related reports, Li Chao, the founder of Hundred Banquets Lamian Noodles, went to Lanzhou to learn the local Lamian Noodles production technology, and then based on the beef noodles in Lanzhou, through improvement, launched the Hundred Banquets Lamian Noodles chain restaurant.
Although the amount of beef in Baiyan Lamian Noodles is twice as much as that in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou, the price is twice as high as that in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou. I went to eat Baiyan Lamian Noodles in 20 13, and the price of a bowl of beef noodles was in 18 yuan, while the price of local Lanzhou Lamian Noodles was in 7 yuan at the same time.
In addition, although almost ten years have passed, if you think there is too little beef in the Lanzhou Ramen, you can order one.
In 20021year, the price of a single order was 10 yuan, and the price of a bowl of Lamian Noodles was 9 yuan, so the total price was 19 yuan.
But is this price really high at today's prices?
You know, Lanzhou Beef Noodle Restaurant sells a piece of single-point beef, although the slices are very thin, but the quantity and weight are definitely more than the beef in the beef noodle restaurant, about 30 grams.
And in the same period, many fast food on the street also started at 12 yuan, and there were also pork, chicken pieces, etc., and the number was just a few pieces.
03 Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles, the third reason why there is less beef is to open the door to do business. Many people think that southerners are more flexible in doing business, while northerners are somewhat rigid in doing business. Although I don't quite agree with this statement, in the case of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, I have a * * * sound.
Let's just say that during my recent years in Foshan, the local pork prices have been rising, from 20 18 years' pork belly 12 yuan to 25 yuan's pork ribs to 28 yuan's pork belly and 48 yuan's pork ribs.
With the rising of raw materials, the prices of dishes in many restaurants on the street are also rising. For example, the steamed stuffed bun has changed from 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan, and the previous pork fried powder was 6 yuan, which rose to 8 yuan. During this period, not only pork, beef, coriander, chopped green onion, labor and rent have risen. But strangely, the Lamian Noodles I often go to has been selling a bowl of beef from Lamian Noodles to 9 yuan for three years.
There are probably two possibilities for why the price of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles has not been raised: raw materials have gone up, and their profits are still there. Although they have not earned as much as before, they can't lose money.
In addition, Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is more like a franchise store, with offices in many places to solve the difficulties encountered by these ethnic minorities in opening stores outside, and they also have tax-free preferential treatment.
Conclusion: Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, as one of the three national snacks, is loved by consumers because of its low price and substantial benefits. When the beef in the market costs 50 ~ 50 kg, and a bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles is less than 10 yuan, it is normal that there is less beef in it. After all, it is more expensive for people to use braised beef, and it is necessary to add chicken, beef and beef in the soup to make thick soup, plus other side dishes.
In addition, a tree attracts the wind, and a cup of soybean milk 2.5 yuan, a small white steamed bun 2 yuan, a vegetarian steamed bun 2 yuan, and a piece of fried pork are sold in 8 yuan. Locals are used to it and never complain. But a bowl of imported beef from Lamian Noodles was sold to 9 yuan, and there was little beef in it, so they had something to say.
This does not rule out that some businesses, because Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is too cheap and affordable, deliberately cause public opinion to discredit Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. Then some people who don't know the truth followed suit and answered the old saying, some people just want to enjoy five-star food and service with the money from flower stalls.
As a member who has been engaged in the catering industry for a long time, every time I go to Lamian Noodles to eat beef and Lamian Noodles, I feel speechless when I look at the thin pieces of beef in the bowl. I also asked the boss why he gave these pieces of beef, and the boss gave these reasons.
1. The cost of beef. If you buy beef now, the price is generally in 50 yuan per kilogram, and there is a trend of price increase. If you put a lot of beef per kilogram, you can't make a few bowls at all
2. The cost of Lamian Noodles. The cost of a bowl of Lamian Noodles is around 1-2 yuan, which does not include the rent and labor costs of the store. If it is included, the cost will increase to about 3-5.
3. Lamian Noodles's profits. A bowl of Lamian Noodles is generally sold in 8 yuan on our side, which means that excluding other expenses, the profit of a bowl of Lamian Noodles is about 3-3 5 yuan, and the net profit is low, only in other places.
First of all, it is necessary to distinguish beef noodles from Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou. There are two kinds of beef noodles, one is local in Lanzhou, and the local average price is 7 yuan and 7 yuan. Do you still want beef? This is a joke! The second is the flagship store of Oriental Palace, which is built in other places. This kind of store is in a medium position, and the decoration is basically superficial, which is basically higher than the dining standard of a fast food restaurant. This kind of store asks for a set meal in 30 yuan, with about 100 grams of beef and a few side dishes, which is kind! As for Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, most of them are produced in Qinghai Province, and the quality is not good or bad. From the price point of view and similar 24-hour operation mode, the price range of 10- 15 yuan is not too much. To sum up, price is a more objective embodiment of value, blindly pursuing cheap and good quality is a morbid value that is not conducive to the development and operation of commercial society, and the result of bad money expelling good money is problem milk powder, pork, and all kinds of things that we hate. In addition, any store will provide a single-point beef service. Generally, Lanzhou people need a piece of meat (50g), an egg and a side dish, and 20 yuan is more than enough.
When it comes to Lanzhou beef noodles, the truth is that there is less beef in the noodles, but the beef noodles are really delicious.
Although I am a native of the South and grew up eating rice, I personally prefer to eat noodles. Usually, the company canteens are mostly rice. If I eat outside, I will choose to eat more noodles. Among noodles, I personally prefer to eat in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou.
However, there is something wrong with Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, that is, a beef noodle, with only four thin slices of beef, is really counted. If you want to add extra beef, adding 8 yuan is only a few more slices.
Personally, I think this may be because of the cost. People really use real beef, and the so-called beef we eat in many fast food restaurants now is almost fake.
Although there is little beef in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou, and the price in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou is not low, they still like it very much, because their soup is delicious, and the noodles are made on the spot, which is very elastic, and each noodle looks very beautiful. Some Lanzhou ramen restaurants will also send a plate of side dishes for free. So I often eat Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, and I will add an extra egg.
Do you often eat Lanzhou Lamian Noodles?
A bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles is only 6, 7 yuan, cheap gluten road, the main clear soup is beef soup! If you want to eat more meat, you can pay for it. Why don't you ask, how much beef is there in Master Kong's braised beef noodles?
Do you have to give a wife for an old woman's cake? Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles sells noodles. The beef on the noodles is a side dish, and you can pay extra if you want more.
When eating noodles, almost all the beef on Lanzhou Lamian Noodles has only a few thin slices, and the price of beef is very expensive now. If there is a lot of beef in your noodles, the cost price of your bowl of noodles will also go up. Wool is on sheep, and there is a real demand. If you want to add more meat to the noodles, you can also apply to the boss for more money in advance. And it's not just Lamian Noodles, where there is little beef, but all the Lamian Noodles are only thin slices of beef. Some noodles may not even have beef in them.
The beef in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is actually just a side dish. On the one hand, it looks better for the sake of dish loading. On the other hand, if you only eat a large bowl of noodles, it may be slightly worse in taste. Because eating too much noodles will always be a little boring. Some people will put a small dish of pickles in front of them and eat noodles even if they don't have beef.
If you want to eat beef in Lamian Noodles, I suggest you buy a plate of beef separately. Usually, customers and bosses who have this idea will satisfy you, but the price of this plate of beef is definitely several times that of a bowl of beef noodles.
Not all the dishes in the food match the food. Like the dish of husband and wife lung slices, do you still need a couple to cut open their lungs and cook? Or does the old lady's cake really buy the cake and then give it to her wife? In fact, all the names of dishes are used to by everyone, so we should not take them too seriously.
Again, if you really want more beef in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, you can apply to your boss in advance. The boss will give you enough beef when he is cooking, but of course the price of noodles will be more expensive.
