A while ago, an incident rushed to the hot search.
The head of a family in Jiangxi spoke out, saying that the meals his children ate in the school cafeteria were all pre-made dishes, and the children went home with abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating, and there was food poisoning.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately resonated with parents across the country, who accused the "pre-made dishes" of poisoning the next generation of the motherland and demanded that the "pre-made dishes" get out of the Chinese table.
In this regard, the migrant workers in the office building said that they did not care: I will eat pre-made dishes! The 14-yuan "poor ghost package" is 26 days a month, because there are still four days when I don't have to go to work.
Are the pre-made dishes boycotted by parents really so unbearable? How did they become the sweet treats in the hands of migrant workers?
The well-known "shady" - pre-made dishes
I don't know if you feel this way, but now everything you eat for takeout has the same taste.
Yellow stewed chicken and chicken pot, as if out of a pot, open the takeaway platform and turn it over and over, it seems that there are many tricks, but in fact, when you buy it back and taste it, you will have the taste of those few pre-made dishes.
Not only takeaway, but also many brick-and-mortar restaurants, the food is delivered quickly, the taste is very uniform......
Whether you want to admit it or not, the current takeaway has been "occupied" by pre-made dishes.
Those businesses that stick to the "bottom line of speculation" have either been eliminated, or they are struggling to move forward on the road to elimination.
Just open a takeaway platform, as far as the eye can see, regardless of Chinese and Western food, it is basically all pre-made dishes, such as fish-flavored shredded pork, yellow braised chicken rice, kung pao chicken, etc., which are basically supplied by a factory.
Even some stores are even more "excessive", people don't pretend to be installed, and directly sell cooking packages to you, five yuan a pack of potatoes and beef, turn the microwave twice, and solve it in one meal.
It is easy to understand the pre-made dishes for takeaway, after all, people need to deliver meals quickly.
After using up all kinds of coupons, the platform will draw a lot, and you won't be left behind, and then you will be complained about because of the slow delivery, and you have to pay customers if you don't do it well.
Don't think that everything will be fine without the mechanism of "fast, accurate and ruthless" takeaway, and physical stores will not be able to escape this fate.
In addition to cost savings, there is also a reason why brick-and-mortar stores have to use pre-made dishes.
For safety reasons, many large supermarkets are prohibited from using open flames, and even some well-known chain stir-fry restaurants are mostly produced by central kitchens.
Therefore, now you can find a stir-fry restaurant with an open fire and a fair price, and you have to have fun!
Pre-made dishes have long been no secret, not only the merchants know each other, but also the consumers are like a mirror in their hearts, which has long been a "well-known shady".
But if there was no Jiangxi school, no one would have pursued it at all.
It's not that you can't afford to eat freshly fried, but pre-made dishes are more cost-effective
Consumers are not stupid, especially our Chinese people, we recognize the second food, no one in the world dares to count the first, whether it is a pre-made dish, we will know in one bite.
Then why do you want to eat it when you know it's a pre-made dish?
Just two words: cheap!
Stir-fried side dishes, at least thirty or forty servings, with a little bit of meat, all have to start at 50 yuan, and if you are not careful, you will meet a "catering assassin".
Now that the global economy is in a recession, the mainland is facing a large-scale unemployment boom, especially in second- and third-tier cities, where workers may not earn more than 100 yuan after a hard day's work.
Nowadays, you have to eat 30 yuan for a meal, who can stand up to such a build? More or less, everyone wants to save as much money as possible, and no one works just to "live"? Eat three meals a day and fry them, let alone save money, and even have to "eat" next month's rent!
In recent years, regardless of Chinese and Western food, all catering has not been very prosperous.
However, there are two brands that have sprung up and rushed directly to the "hearts" of consumers - Mixue Bingcheng and Chaoyixing.
Not to mention, Michelle Bingcheng single-handedly lowered the average price of milk tea, and even affected the coffee track next door, becoming a popular bubble tea shop among the people.
Chao Yixing once opened less than 10 stores in ten years, but now it has opened more than 450 stores in ten years, and once opened to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other regions, just relying on a "poor ghost package" to achieve a "turnover".
Both brands have one thing in common, and that is cheapness.
Mixue Bingcheng has never avoided people with milk tea powder and cyclamate, and people move raw materials to the operation room in boxes, and consumers pretend not to see it.
These raw materials are essentially the "pre-made dishes" of the milk tea industry.
Then someone asked, is the 14 yuan meat package of Chao Yixing also a prefabricated dish?
The answer is, yes.
However, Chaoyixing's prefabricated dishes are still a little different from those on the market, most of them are produced by the central kitchen, and they make their own meat in advance, all kinds of marinated vegetables, etc., and then distribute them to various sales points, strictly speaking, it is also a kind of prefabricated dishes.
It's not that the workers don't know that they are pre-made dishes, but so what? Four-yuan lemonade, fourteen yuan meat and vegetarian set meals, what more bicycles?
When parents collectively boycotted prefabricated dishes, migrant workers laughed at themselves on the Internet: don't call them prefabricated dishes, just call them "new feed for migrant workers"!
I'm afraid that "pre-made dishes" will really be banned.
A joke contains the helplessness and bitterness of contemporary workers.
The popularity of pre-made dishes is actually a product of the development of industrialization to the present, the more developed industrialization, the cheaper industrialized food, and at the same time, the more expensive non-industrialized food is.
Then someone asked, if you think stir-fry is expensive, you can buy your own vegetables and cook your own dishes?
This kind of statement is even more "preaching" that overrides the beating workers.
Who doesn't know that cooking by themselves is healthy and affordable, but how many of the contemporary migrant workers can set aside the time to cook and wash the dishes by themselves?
Not to mention the fast-paced cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, even the third- and fourth-tier small cities have begun to "996 is a blessing and 007 is the norm".
Anyone who has ever cooked knows that the simplest bowl of somen noodles, even eating and cleaning up, has to start in half an hour, and three meals a day is an hour and a half. Besides, no one can eat somen three times a day!
I go to work early and get off work late, and I have to go to bed quickly after washing, otherwise I won't have enough energy to face work the next day. An hour and a half doesn't seem like a long time, but in fact, sleeping for so much more is enough to "continue life" for workers.
Why are pre-made dishes cheap?
It is not unreasonable for parents to resist pre-made dishes.
One of the most important reasons is that pre-made dishes are so cheap, and they are absolutely all "ruthless", and people who eat too much will definitely get into trouble.
But in fact, the ultra-low price of pre-made dishes is not because of "technology and ruthlessness".
On the contrary, any prefabricated dishes that can be seen on the market must have passed the national food safety inspection, and all the additives you can see in the ingredient list are in line with the national standard.
Food safety is a big deal, and no one will joke about their lives for these two jujubes.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, what many people think of as "technology and hard work" is actually much more expensive than the real materials themselves.
The underlying logic of low price is very simple, that is, low cost.
With the development of the times, everyone's income is increasing, and the wages of the chefs who cook in the restaurant, the drivers who deliver food to the restaurant, and the wages of others have also increased.
If many years ago, a small restaurant earned more than 10,000 yuan a month, and after paying the salary to the cook driver, he would still be able to settle down; now you earn more than 10,000 yuan, and the cook driver's salary will not be paid.
Then someone asked, you raised the price, and you made more money.
That's the reason, but, why?
People obviously have a better way to save costs, why do this method that will not only lose consumers, but also make their own costs higher?
You only need to enter a batch of cooking kits, and then use a few machines, you can be a chef yourself, the food is fast, the taste is stable, the cost is low, and you don't need to increase the price too much.
In today's increasingly volatile catering industry, whoever has a low price has the right to speak and attract the favor of consumers.
The production cost of prefabricated dishes is very low, and there is almost no need for labor, and they are basically products from industrial assembly lines. Stable production, short time, and long storage time are the characteristics of prefabricated dishes.
The more industrialized it is, the cheaper industrialized food becomes. At the same time, non-industrial food is becoming more expensive.
Pre-made dishes are not "flood beasts"
Pre-made dishes are not new to recent years.
What we see now, the pre-made dishes produced based on Chinese food, have indeed only begun to rise in the past two years.
Therefore, most people may not be able to accept it, everyone feels that they go to the restaurant to consume, and in the end it is "technology and hard work", which must be a little bit musty in their hearts.
But in fact, there were instant noodles, all kinds of canned food, and quick-frozen foods that existed decades ago...... These are all pre-made dishes.
In the years when ham sausages were first produced, they were still rumored to be harmful to the body every day, but in fact, haven't they been here for so many years?
Because they have existed for a long time, people will subconsciously feel that these "pre-made dishes" are normal.
Some developed countries have opened up a precedent on the road of "prefabricated dishes" as early as possible.
Friends who often watch Japanese dramas and Korean dramas may find that most of their migrant workers and school students eat three meals a day at convenience stores, and they will only go to restaurants to eat when it is necessary to gather and other occasions.
Convenience stores were the first to "occupy" the area of pre-made dishes, such as seaweed rice balls, meat sauce noodles, eight-treasure porridge, and various rice bowls...... It has a clear production address and date written on it, and after buying it, let the salesperson put it in the microwave to heat it up, and the meal will be solved.
This is especially the case in Europe and the United States, where the "Big Three" of fast food all over the world are all pre-made dishes, but people don't use microwave ovens and fry them in oil.
In fact, pre-made dishes are not only used in restaurants, but also consumers themselves love to buy pre-made dishes.
Open a treasure and search for prefabricated dishes, and you can see tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of monthly sales.
On average, a pack is less than six yuan, and you can eat the same type of rice bowl for 16 yuan for takeout, so why not?
Pre-made dishes may not be as nutritious and delicious as freshly fried, but they are indeed an inseparable existence for contemporary migrant workers.
epilogue
Whether the pre-made dishes are good or not, don't the workers count in their hearts?
Who wouldn't want "three small barbecues a day" if conditions allow?
There is a good saying, what our people resist is never prefabricated dishes, but "illegal technology and ruthless work" added to prefabricated dishes.
Therefore, those parents should not resist "prefabricated dishes", but "prefabricated dishes" that do not meet food hygiene and safety.
