Why are there so few Lanzhou beef and Lamian Noodles beef?

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. Let me introduce myself briefly. I have been engaged in beef noodle industry in Lanzhou for many years, and I am specialized in beef Lamian Noodles production. Let me tell you from a professional point of view why there is so little beef in a bowl of Lanzhou beef in Lamian Noodles.

The bowl of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles in the picture is made by myself. The personal homepage has a detailed video tutorial, sharing the formula of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. You can go and have a look if you are interested.

Let's just say that the main reason for the lack of beef in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou is that no matter what industry has costs, so does a bowl of Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou. The reason for the lack of beef is very simple, mainly the cost, which can be explained in many ways. Here's a detailed explanation of its production cost and some additional store costs.

What's more, I can say that there is not only a shortage of beef in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou, 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 my homepage. You can go and have a look if you are interested.

Many people may say that there are a lot of beef noodles, but I want to ask, what is the price of the bowl of beef noodles you ate? Everything is cost-effective. Beef will not decrease or increase for no reason. The national average price of a bowl of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles rarely exceeds 10 yuan, except for first-and second-tier cities. Most cities in Lanzhou and Lamian Noodles are 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 doesn't anyone complain? This is very strange. There is a lot of beef in the same beef noodles. The price of beef noodles in Daoxiao or Xiangyang is around 13 yuan. There is no beef in 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 much higher than that of any other region. 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 amount of beef in Lamian Noodles. Remember that noodle restaurants mainly eat noodles. Beef is just a side dish. Those who like meat can order beef separately. If you have a chance to go to Lanzhou, you will know what it means to have no beef in beef noodles. Lanzhou beef noodles have less beef and can hardly be seen.

The cost of ingredients in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou The important ingredients in a bowl of Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou can be divided into three parts: Lamian Noodles soup, peppers and noodles. Of these three parts, the cost of soup cannot be calculated simply by the cost of ingredients, because a large part of the production cost of soup is the cost of gas.

If we want to use a separate calculation method, then Lamian Noodles's soup can be divided into two main costs: one is beef and beef bones for cooking soup, and the other is Lamian Noodles soup, that is, more than 20 kinds of seasonings.

Beef price cost

At present, a catty of beef strips from 8 yuan, one from 20 yuan to 30 yuan. A catty of beef is now around 46 yuan, and stick soup can be used repeatedly, but beef can only be cooked once. 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.

Such a catty of cooked beef must be sold at least 100 yuan to ensure that it will not lose money. Perhaps most people don't know the weight of beef. I can tell you that your beef is 50 grams, and there are not many pieces of beef.

There are a series of video tutorials made by Lanzhou Lamian Noodles on my homepage. You can go and have a look if you are interested.

The cost of noodle soup in Lamian Noodles.

Because there is Lamian Noodles soup in Lamian Noodles, you may not know what it is. Let's just say that 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 and so on. And the proportion of the formula is very heavy. Choose spices with general quality, taking pepper as an example. Pepper should be at least 80 yuan a catty, so the cost of a soup is very high.

Noodle price cost

Anyone who has done catering knows that the profit of noodles is the highest in the catering industry. That's true. For the same bowl of noodles in Lamian Noodles, the price of flour used in noodle shops is generally less than 100 yuan. A bag of flour can produce about 160 bowls to 180 bowls of noodles, so the cost of a bowl of noodles is about 0.5 to 0.6 yuan.

Cost price of Chili oil

Generally, the chili oil used in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is to mix three different dried chilies in a certain proportion, and then crush them into two pieces. The average price of three kinds of peppers after mixing is about per catty 10 yuan, and the oil used is generally the first-class refined vegetable rapeseed oil of 7 yuan.

Price cost of coriander and garlic seedling seasoning

Finally, the cost of coriander and garlic seedlings and some seasonings. This fee is unnecessary, because many prices vary greatly. For example, coriander and garlic seedlings are different in different seasons, so they are temporarily ignored.

The cost of water, electricity, gas and rent in Lamian Noodles is not only the cost of ingredients mentioned above, but also the corresponding cost of noodle restaurant is water, electricity, rent and labor. As you may have seen above, the cost of a bowl of noodles is really low, 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 have a look if you are interested.

To sum up;

There is a reason why a bowl of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles beef 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 beef noodles have no beef, which makes no sense/

The personal homepage has a series of video tutorials produced by Lanzhou Lamian Noodles and the sharing of various catering recipes. You can have a look if you are interested. I will regularly share some food and beverage recipes and explain the experience and skills of using various seasonings.

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, but they are not.

Lamian Noodles, the beef soup in Lanzhou, was originally the flavor food of senior guests in Northwest China. Because it is delicious and economical, it is not only found everywhere in Lanzhou, but also in many provinces and even countries and regions in the world. Lanzhou locals generally call Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles "beef noodles". Young people also call it "Niuda" or "Niudawan", which means "big bowl of beef noodles". It is also one of the "Top Ten Faces" in China.

There is also the problem of beef. How about buying beef noodles? Customers in regular beef noodle shops want to eat beef noodles with meat. Good beef noodle restaurant, beef sells better than noodles. The set meal of beef noodle chain stores is usually noodles, meat, vegetables and eggs. Of course, Lanzhou people have the habit of eating beef noodles for breakfast, generally without meat. Back to the question, beef noodles, beef noodles, is a bowl of beef soup with Lamian Noodles, and the meat is embellished. Local beef noodles with meat, beef noodles without meat with eggs.

So if you want to eat more meat from Lanzhou beef and Lamian Noodles in the future, you can directly tell your boss how much meat to add. Don't think there is no Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou!

I sell beef soup. Tell us why there is less beef.

Let's calculate an account according to the domestic beef price in the past two years. Nowadays, the disparity in beef prices is only about 10 yuan, regardless of big cities or small towns. The shops that make beef noodle soup mainly use beef brisket, triangle meat, breast meat and hind leg meat. Average wholesale price in 35 yuan. Bovine bone 6- 10 yuan. When a catty of beef is cooked, say that a catty is half a catty. With gas, the cost price is 781 Jin 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, the thickness is 2mm, the length is 5cm and the width is 2cm. 50 grams can be called 10 to 12 slices of beef. That is, the cost of each piece of beef is nearly 1 yuan. Look at noodles, dry flour can get a Lamian Noodles every two and a half. According to a bag of 50 kilograms of high-quality flour 100 yuan, the cost of each noodle is 4 to 50 cents, excluding labor. Look at the soup again. Take 50 Jin of soup as an example. You need two beef leg bones and 10 Jin of beef to make soup. Two pieces of beef bones are about 10 kg, which is 60 pieces according to 6 yuan per kg. 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 packed, it may be 1 kg. Then a pot of soup can produce 70 bowls. The price of each bowl of soup is about one yuan.

According to the suggestion of netizens, at least 3 pieces of beef are sold 100 bowl every day. Then the cost of a bowl of beef Lamian Noodles is: beef 3 with 0.5 noodles, soup 1, minimum labor 1 yuan, minimum rent 1, and the cost is 6.5 yuan. According to most cities, a small bowl of Lamian Noodles is the most 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 yuan a day to 500 yuan. 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 work day and night. How painful! Of course, it is not excluded that there are special beef gravy on the market. Only about 40 yuan, but you can't eat it. I know the inside story, but I don't have time to say it. All right, forget it. I'm going to make sesame cakes

All Lamian Noodles is in the soup. The soup of Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles is made of beef and beef bones. Soup is the essence of Lanzhou beef in Lamian Noodles. Moreover, Lanzhou people generally 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 at most ten yuan. Beef is also a meat with a lot of water. A catty of beef is cooked, and there is about half a catty left, not to mention the 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 on 19 15, and Ma Baozi's clear soup beef noodle shop became famous from then on. "Yiqing (soup), Erbai (carrot), Sanling (coriander, garlic sprout), Sihong (pepper) and Huang Wu (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 and Baoan nationalities in northwest China. Lamian Noodles is famous for its bowl of noodles, and for its fine noodles with rotten meat and fresh soup. At the same time, it embodies the wisdom and hard work of Ma Chen and countless chefs who are good at clear soup and beef noodles.

Nowadays, there are many Lanzhou beef shops in Lamian Noodles that are not inherited by Ma family or even run by Lanzhou people. It is not easy to get authentic Lanzhou beef noodles.

I remember I once worshipped a famous snack chef in our town. When I was about to start my career, he told me that we were in a small business, targeting at low-income people. But this kind of person's money is the hardest to earn. A large number of people spend money on food stalls, but want to eat five-star dishes. If you are engaged in this craft, you must endure it again and face their criticisms and sarcasm, so that you can succeed.

Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, the three ethnic snacks famous for their cheapness, can be seen all over the country. I myself often go to Lamian Noodles branch in Lanzhou, and the most common one is their specialty, Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles.

Many people on the Internet teased: Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles a bowl of beef, a cow can support them for three years.

As a person who has been engaged in the small catering industry for several years, I have to be fair for 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, went out for the first time on 200 1 and stayed in Zhaoqing, Guangdong for more than 6 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 3 yuan, and I went to Heyuan, Guangdong Province in 2008. The price of the local Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is 5 yuan a bowl, 20 13, I am.

I forgot what the market price of beef was at 200 1, but in 2008, the price of beef there was 20~24 yuan, and the average domestic raw beef market price was about 16.77 yuan.

20 13 Zhoukou local beef price is around 28 yuan. The key point is that from 20 18 to now, the price of beef sold in the market is between 45-60 yuan. However, the beef released from Lamian Noodles is braised 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 is already very high, so we will calculate it according to the compromise method. The price of buying a catty of beef is 50 yuan, and half a catty of braised beef counts. 50 yuan of raw meat lost half, and the price of braised beef sold to 75 yuan a catty, so as to break even.

However, although there is little beef in Lamian Noodles, there should be about 10g of beef slices. 500g a catty. In 75 yuan, the cost of 10g: 75 yuan divided by 50g equals 0. 15g, and 10g multiplied by 0. 15g equals 65438.

However, in addition to beef, Lanzhou beef noodles also spent coriander, chopped green onion, soup, rent, three jobs and noodles. They have to earn a little money and sell it for 9 yuan 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 is more than one restaurant selling beef noodles in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou. For example, when I was in Zhoukou, Henan on the 20th/10th/3rd, there was also a local restaurant chain called Bai Yan Lamian Noodles.

According to related reports, Li Chao, the founder of Baiyan Lamian Noodles, went to Lanzhou to learn the local Lamian Noodles production technology, and then based on the beef noodles in Lanzhou, through improvement, he launched Baiyan Lamian Noodles chain restaurant.

Although the quantity of beef in Lamian Noodles, Bai Yan is twice that in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou, the price is twice that in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou. I went to Baiyan Lamian Noodles on October 20 13, and the price of a bowl of beef noodles was 18 yuan, while the price of a bowl of beef noodles in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles was also 7 yuan.

Besides, although nearly ten years have passed, if you think there is too little beef in Lamian Noodles, you can order one.

202 1, the price of a single dish is 10 yuan, and the price of a bowl of Lamian Noodles is 9 yuan, so the total price is only 19 yuan.

But is this price really high at today's prices?

You know, Lanzhou Beef Noodle Restaurant sells a single beef. Although the slices are very thin, the quantity and weight are definitely more than that of beef noodle restaurant, about 30 grams.

And at the same time, many fast food on the street started from 12 yuan, and there were also pork and chicken nuggets. And the number is only a few pieces.

03 Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles, the third reason for the lack of 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, taking Lanzhou Lamian Noodles as an example, I have a * * * voice.

Let's just say that in recent years when I was in Foshan, the local pork price has been rising, from 20 18 pork belly 12 yuan a catty, pork ribs 25 yuan a catty to pork belly 28 yuan and pork ribs 48 yuan a catty now.

Raw materials are rising, and the prices of vegetables in many restaurants on the street are also rising. For example, the steamed stuffed bun changed from 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan, and the fried pork powder in 6 yuan rose to 8 yuan. During this period, not only pork, beef, coriander, chopped green onion, labor, but also rent has gone up. But strangely, the Lamian Noodles where I often go has been selling a bowl of beef from Lamian Noodles to 9 yuan for three years.

There are probably two possibilities for why Lanzhou Lamian Noodles doesn't raise prices: raw materials have gone up and profits are still there. Although not as much as before, you 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 concessions.

Conclusion: Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, as one of the three ethnic snacks, is cheap and affordable, and is deeply loved by consumers. When the beef in the market is 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, braised beef is more expensive, and chicken, beef and beef should be added to the soup to make thick soup, plus other side dishes, which is artificial.

In addition, a tree attracts the wind, a cup of soybean milk 2.5 yuan, a small white steamed bread 2 yuan, a vegetarian steamed bread 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 beef imported from Lamian Noodles sold for 9 yuan, and there was little beef in it. They had something to say.

This does not rule out some businesses, because Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is too cheap and affordable, deliberately causing 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 the flower stand.

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 Lamian Noodles, I feel speechless when I look at the thin slices 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 price of beef. If you buy beef now, the price is generally in 50 yuan per kilogram, which tends to 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 store rent and labor costs. If you count it, the cost will increase to about 3-5.

3. Lamian Noodles's profits. A bowl of Lamian Noodles usually costs 8 yuan here, that is to say, 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, we should 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 was built in other places. This kind of shop is in a medium position, and the decoration is basically superficial, which is basically higher than the dining standard of fast food restaurants. The asking price of this kind of shop is about 30 yuan, beef100g, and a few side dishes, which is quite kind! As for Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, most of them are produced in Qinghai Province, and the quality is not good or bad. Judging from the price 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, which is not conducive to the development and operation of commercial society. The result of bad money driving out good money is problem milk powder, pork and all kinds of things we hate. In addition, any store will provide a single beef service. Generally, people in Lanzhou need a piece of meat (50g), an egg and a side dish, which is more than enough in 20 yuan.

Speaking of Lanzhou beef noodles, the fact is that there is little beef in the noodles, but the beef noodles are really delicious.

Although I am a southerner and grew up eating rice, I personally prefer noodles. Usually, the company canteen is mostly rice. If I eat out, I will choose to eat more noodles. Among noodles, I personally prefer to eat Lamian Noodles from Lanzhou.

However, there is a problem in Lamian Noodles, Lanzhou, that is, a beef noodle with only four slices of beef, which really counts. If you want to add extra beef, adding 8 yuan is just 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 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, because their soup is delicious, the noodles are made on the spot, and they are very elastic, and every noodle looks 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 broth is beef soup! If you want to eat more meat, you can pay. Why don't you ask, how much beef is there in Master Kong's braised beef noodles?

Does an old woman have to give her wife the cake? Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles sells noodles. The beef on the noodles is a side dish. If you want more, you can pay extra.

When eating noodles, almost all the beef served in Lanzhou Lamian Noodles is only a few thin slices, and now the price of beef is very expensive. If there is a lot of beef in your noodles, the cost price of your bowl of noodles will also go up. Wool comes from sheep, and there is a real demand. If you want to add more meat to the noodles, you can also ask the boss for more money in advance. And it's not just Lamian Noodles. There is very little beef. All Lamian Noodles is just sliced beef. Some noodles may not even have beef.

The beef in Lamian Noodles is actually just a side dish. On the one hand, it is to make the dishes look better. On the other hand, if you only eat a large bowl of noodles, the taste may be slightly worse. Because eating too much noodles is always a bit boring. Some people will put a small dish of pickles in front of them and eat noodles even without beef.

If you want to eat Lamian Noodles beef, I suggest you buy a plate of beef alone. 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 dish go with this dish. Do couples need to cut open their lungs to cook such dishes as husband and wife lung slices? Or did the old lady really buy the cake and give it to her wife? In fact, everyone is used to all the dishes, so don't take them too seriously.

Again, if you really want more beef from Lamian Noodles, you can apply to your boss in advance. The boss will give you enough beef when cooking, of course, the price of noodles will be more expensive.
