Chapter 680 - "Suit" with a capital letter!
Luo Jiuchuan waited in the conference room of Datong Company for more than an hour, and did not see the person in charge of the company for a long time.
Datong is one of the top companies in the field of Yanjing food distribution, covering a wide range of ingredients, a wide variety, including many top ingredients, so if you can complete the cooperation with Datong, it will be of great benefit to improve the food channels of Qiao's Yanying Canteen.
As early as a week ago, Luo Jiuchuan made an appointment with Datong Company, but he didn't expect to wait for so long, just an ordinary small employee came forward,
The person in charge who had contacted him before disappeared on the grounds that he was in a meeting.
"Mr. Luo, otherwise, you should go back today, Mr. Chen has too many meetings, and there will be a one-day meeting, and if you continue to wait, you will only waste your time. Xiao Yu, the employee in charge of reception, persuaded softly.
"No, I have to wait for Mr. Chen today!" Luo Jiuchuan showed a stalking spirit.
finally won the Yanying Canteen, if you can't find a reliable ingredient supplier, what kind of face do you have to continue to stay in Qiao's gang leader?
Xiao Yu didn't expect Luo Jiuchuan to be so stubborn, and sighed in amazement: "Then you just wait here, I'll let the front desk make you another cup of tea." ”
Luo Jiuchuan waved his hand and refused, "No need!"
Xiao Yu knocked on his boss's door, Chen Tao was on the phone, shouted "Please come in", and said to the person on the phone, "I'll call you later." After hanging up the phone, Chen Tao looked up at Xiao Yu, "Is Luo Jiuchuan gone?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, "He is more insistent than he imagined, and he must see you before he is willing to leave." ”
Chen Tao frowned, "Why is this guy so eyeless? Now that Qiao Zhi has offended the Yanying Cooking Association, even if the canteen is open, how long can it operate? If we cooperate with them, it will offend other customers, Luo Jiuchuan is holding a hot potato in his hand." ”
Xiao Yu said: "Then Luo Jiuchuan, how should I answer?"
Chen Tao smiled faintly, "Let him wait! I really know too much about people like him." The more he persuaded him, the more he succeeded. Hang him, and when he loses patience, he naturally leaves. ”
Xiao Yu said: "Mr. Chen, why don't you just talk to him?"
Chen Tao said, "You are still too young, how can you say so absolutely about the things in the business field? Although the Qiao Gang Canteen has just been ready to land in Yanjing, after the establishment of the two cities of Qiongjin and Yunhai, the business is very prosperous. What's more, what they won this time was Beiying's canteen, if they survived the suppression period of Yanjing's cooking circle, they might suddenly break out in the later stage, and I was leaving a way out for the future. ”
Xiao Yu's eyes showed admiration, "Mr. Chen, your thoughts are very thorough, but I am too shallow." ”
Chen Tao continued: "Our current supply chain is mainly around the Gyeonggi region, and it is inevitable to expand the territory in the future, and the company is strengthening the construction of the cold chain, and in the future, it may mean to take root in big cities such as Yunhai and Qiongjin, and Qiaobang's main canteen is a potential user." ”
Xiao Yu said: "I asked the administrator to give him a lunch ticket?"
Chen Tao gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up, "The son is teachable!"
After Xiao Yu left, Chen Tao picked up the landline and dialed Man Dongliu's phone number.
"Boss Man, I made an exception for you. Chen Tao smiled bitterly, "Originally, we had already decided to cooperate with Yanying Canteen, but for the sake of your face, we canceled the cooperation plan." ”
Man Dongliu smiled with relief: "Mr. Chen, don't thank you for your kindness, take the time to drink a few glasses in Yuwei Building, and I'll give it."
You add a few dishes. ”
"I'm an anxious person, and I'll take it right away if there's anything good. Chen Tao joked, "By the way, I heard that Qiao Zhi held a banquet in Fuchun Building today to entertain the bigwigs in the circle, did you say hello in front?
"My greeting must be in place, Qiao Zhi is beyond his means, and invited more than ten insiders, this is not a banquet, but a gossip array, wanting to compete with the Yanjing culinary world. "It's still too young...... Young and vigorous, I don't know how thick the sky is. ”
Chen Tao bowed slightly, "If you want to take root in Yanjing, how difficult it is, the correct way to do it is to operate in a low-key manner first, don't cause trouble, and wait for everyone to forget the contradiction between him and you, and slowly build up the reputation." ”
Man Dongliu smiled, thinking to himself that if Qiao Zhi really planned to develop in a low-key manner, how could he let him get his wish?
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your help. If there is anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know. Man Dongliu promised.
"Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you. ”
The Manjia Yuweilou has been rooted in Yanjing for a hundred years, and he knows a lot of friends in the circle, if he can help him open up a channel, he will definitely bring a lot of business, and finally the order of Yanying Canteen can be ignored.
Luo Jiuchuan waited in the conference room for several hours, he tried his best to restrain the irritability in his heart, so that he had to sink, and now the Qiao Gang main cafeteria is facing internal and external troubles, although Qiao Zhi invited people in the circle to eat today, but no one knows what the final result will be.
Chase is an ingredient supplier that he insists on contacting, although there are other options, but he can't give up all his efforts, do things in place, and he will not regret it in the future.
Xiao Yu took the time to turn around, vaguely hinting that Luo Jiuchuan could leave today, but Luo Jiuchuan couldn't hold back.
Xiao Yu secretly thought that Luo Jiuchuan was too resilient!
He has thrown away all his dignity, this is the most terrible type of person!
......
Qiao Zhi prepared a total of 28 classic dishes in the roasted tail feast, of which 14 dishes are bizarre dishes that have been lost for many years.
Qiao Zhi didn't keep it today, and threw out a lot of hole cards in his head.
His purpose is very simple, to make these bigwigs in the Yanjing circle realize that they should not limit their vision to Yanjing, but to the present.
Yanjing is certainly an imperial city, but the world is so big, there are many strange people, how can you sit in the well and watch the sky, and underestimate the heroes of the world?
There are no bells and whistles, just use hard power to do it.
In the process of cooking 28 dishes, Qiao Zhi relived the hardships of learning to cook back then.
In this way, he also broke through his cooking skills and reached a whole new level.
In the eyes of many chefs, the title of the chef represents the level of the chef, but in Qiao Zhi's eyes, the title is just something outside the body, and the level should be something deeper.
In the Imperial Kitchen Sutra, the realm of the cook is divided into the door realm, the earth realm, the heavenly realm, the heart realm, the Tao realm, and the divine realm.
Menjing refers to a beginner chef who has solid basic skills and can cook qualified dishes according to recipes.
Geography refers to the fact that you no longer rely on recipes, but have a lot of recipes hidden in your chest, and you can cook deliciously as you like.
In the sense of "Heaven", it is possible to cook new dishes with innovative elements according to the characteristics of the ingredients, no longer need recipes.
Mood refers to cooking with the heart. Qiao Zhi had reached a state of mind before
, like Megumi Kitaoka, Max and others, they have also reached the realm of cooking with their hearts, and the food they make is no longer a simple food pairing, but also instills emotions and souls.
As for the Dao realm and the divine realm above the state of mind, there is no detailed description in the Imperial Kitchen Sutra.
Qiao Zhi opened a new door, and the thing looming behind this door was his own "Dao Realm".
In the confrontation with Max, Qiao Zhi felt that the door was slowly opening at the beginning, but now through the cooking of the roast tail feast, the door is completely opened.
In short, break through yourself!
Even though so many hole cards were dropped, it was all worth it!
After the breakthrough of the realm, the understanding of cooking is more profound, as if I have the ability to see through the essence at a glance.
The customers ate heartily and were full of praise.
After the last dish was served, Xi Tianlei put down his chopsticks, closed his eyes, and savored it for a long time.
The expression of Yang Ci next to him was similar, immersed in the beauty of the taste buds.
Fan Ye and Tao Kai said less and less, because they found that there seemed to be no suitable words to describe Qiao Zhi's cooking skills except for praise.
Qiao Zhi's understanding of the roasted tail feast has reached a very transparent realm, he not only made strange dishes, but also used seasoning methods to replace some dishes that protect animals as ingredients. In the roasted tail feast, the dishes of bear, deer, and raccoon are classics and souls, but in the current society, there are no suitable ingredients, but Qiao Zhi replaced them with ingredients such as chicken, duck, pig, and cow. Yang Ci analyzed.
"The dish of steamed pork bears is replaced by beef tendon and tofu, which is quite whimsical. Xi Tianlei said with emotion.
Hibernating bears will accumulate fat on their backs, called bear white, white as jade, take out this part of the pickling, smoke, and then steam with bacon, it is a unique flavor of delicious.
When Qiao Zhi cooked this dish, he chose beef tendon and tofu, coupled with various seasoning techniques, to restore the essence of this dish.
The taste of "Steamed Bear" is extremely delicious, not only has the mellow aftertaste, but also the salty aroma of bacon, which is a perfect match
In addition to this exotic dish, there is also Shengping Roast - originally roasted deer tongue, now replaced by lamb tongue, and Qingliang Crush - originally made of civet meat into soup, after cooling, chopped and cold, similar to meat jelly, Qiao Zhi replaced it with rabbit meat.
Although thousands of years have passed, after Qiao Zhi has restored them with modern cooking techniques, they not only have the prosperous heritage of the Tang Dynasty, but also fit the aesthetics of modern people.
"Xiaofu, bring up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" Xi Tianlei finally walked out of the shock brought by the roasted tail banquet.
If you say it, you must do it, Xi Tianlei is a particular person.
Fu Huiwen said with a smile: "Teacher Xi, why don't you forget it?"
Xi Tianlei raised his eyebrows, "How can that work? I will have to mix in Yanjing in the future!"
Yang Ci said with a smile: "Hurry up and let Mr. Xi complete the gambling contract, a hundred years later, it will be a good story in the culinary world!"
"That's right!" Xi Tianlei walked to the table where the pen and ink were arranged, picked up the wolf's hair, dipped it in ink, breathed up, moved the pen like the wind, and wrote a word on the back of the paper on the fine rice paper, with a capital "service"!
Xi Tianlei also wrote down the time and place next to him, took out his seal, and stamped it on the corner.
"Good!"
Everyone applauded.
Cheer for Xi Tianlei's upright mind and applaud Qiao Zhi's exquisite skills!
