Chapter 25 Life is not only about contradictions, but also about accidents
"First of all, as you said, what you think is that we do business, make money with harmony, and make fewer enemies, and on the surface, it is good to think like this. Chu Mingde gently put down the teacup, his face calm.
"But as the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and we don't want to make enemies, but the opponents are already pressing forward step by step. He Zhenhai Restaurant has already occupied the best position on the lakeside of Hudao Town, not to mention, that is their ability, if they rely on high-price acquisition to monopolize the supply of wild ingredients, it is also the financial resources of others, and I can recognize Chu Mingde.
However, they relied on their connections within the system to enclose most of the suppliers who can provide high-end wild ingredients in Hudao Town, which is a bit despicable. You say, how can we still hang up the battle card?
People don't think you're noble just because you want to make money in harmony, but you'll only get the impression of being weak and bullied.
Since this is the case, it is better to tell them in a bright and open way that I have accepted the recruitment of Jiangnan Yanyu, and I am not afraid to fight with them. ”
"Dad, you're right, Ah Xi understands. The woman nodded, her eyes bright. "We must fight back against Zhenhai Restaurant's violation of business ethics, otherwise, those suppliers will run away from them, and we will not be able to get high-end wild ingredients, but we will not be able to retain those high-end customers." ”
"It's just that the horsemouth fish and crayfish and mountain crabs you bought back, except for the wild soft-shelled turtle, are in good condition, it's just 。。。。。。 The woman stopped talking.
"Haha! I think the little miscellaneous fish can't get on the big stage, right! Taking this to start a war seems to me to be stingy, isn't it?" Chu Mingde laughed.
Although the woman did not answer, her expression showed that this was the case.
As one of the top three leaders in the catering industry in Hudao Town, Yanyu Jiangnan Restaurant is indeed mainly a business for ordinary diners, but high-end wild ingredients are the signature of the restaurant, and to put it bluntly, it is the banner of the restaurant.
As long as the high-end wild ingredients are well cooked, diners will naturally think that other dishes are also good, and will naturally choose to dine in the restaurant.
For example, the most distinctive fish head in Hudao Town is a must-order dish for tourists who come to Hudao Town.
And why it is so famous is because the fish grow in a large lake with a radius of hundreds of kilometers and exercise a lot, so the meat is delicate and tender. And because the water of the Great Lake is of high quality, it can be drunk without treatment, and it grows in a little sweet water, and the fish has no muddy smell, good taste and high nutritional value.
There are also strict requirements for the growth period of the fish selected as ingredients, at least five or even seven years of large fish, so as to ensure that the fish head is tender and fat, and it is mouth-watering.
But tourists come to dozens of millions of times a year, and the big lake that has been restricted from fishing can produce as many big fathead fish?
Naturally, at least half of the restaurants will use 'bath fish', that is, fish from other parts of Jiangnan Province are brought in and raised in the lake for ten days and a half, and even in some small shops, this process is simply omitted.
But in Yanyu Jiangnan Restaurant, the fish must be wild fish in the big lake, and the weight must be more than 12 catties. With such high-end ingredients, it is natural that the fish head made is delicious enough to attract more diners.
Nowadays, what people lack is not money, but quality.
But obviously, the horsemouth fish, crayfish, and mountain crabs that Chu Mingde bought for thousands of yuan are all popular dishes, not high-end, and taking this and Zhenhai Restaurant will make others laugh.
"Hehe, if I say that I will buy bones with this money, you will definitely say that it is not necessary, but it will lead to an imbalance in the hearts of our existing suppliers. Chu Mingde continued, looking thoughtful.
"But! I have a gut feeling, that young man dares to quote like that, he must have his confidence, maybe he can give us a big surprise! What's wrong with the crayfish, as long as the quality is good enough and the customer thinks it's worth it, we can still sell the Australian lobster at the price." Besides, maybe another door will open for us, there are fewer big fish in the big lake, so let's go straight to the source of the big lake to find other ingredients, that young man has given me a good idea!"
"You think well, although I haven't seen that person, but looking at the price he gave, I feel that person is unreliable, a pound of shrimp with an original price of forty yuan, dare to quote a hundred, and the horsemouth fish is even more outrageous, directly tripled, and I don't know who gave him so much courage. "It's good that Chu Mingde didn't mention this, but when he mentioned this, the woman was a little angry.
It's not because of Liu Shu's neuropathic offer, but because someone actually recognized this price, and it was still her plain and shrewd father.
This is her father sitting in front of her, if not, I'm afraid even her own father would complain together.
"It's worth the price! It depends on the taste, if the taste is good, it's worth it, if not。。。。。。 Chu Mingde didn't hear his daughter's complaints, and pointed to the other side. "I've asked the kitchen to take out some of the fish and shrimp and make it, let's try it before we make up our minds. ”
"If it's delicious, it's also our master's craftsmanship. The woman pouted, but sat down obediently.
After a while, there were almost no condiments in a pot, and a white and rich fish soup and a plate of steamed shrimp with garlic were placed in front of the two.
The woman took the initiative to put a shrimp on his plate for Chu Mingde, and she served herself half a bowl of fish soup, and wrinkled her nose at her father: "Dad, then I'll try your little miscellaneous fish soup first, if it works, then when I don't say anything today, if not, I have to exercise my right to executive vice president in the future, and you can't make your own decisions." ”
"Hehe, according to you. Chu Mingde smiled faintly, put on gloves and prepared to peel the shrimp shell.
A mouthful of fish soup took her mouth, and the woman froze.
"Why, the taste is so far away?" Chu Mingde was slightly stunned.
The horsemouth fish itself is a good ingredient for making fish soup, and the person who cooks it is also the chef of Yanyu Jiangnan, so the taste will not be too far behind anyway!
"I'll try it again. The woman no longer held the spoon as she had done before, but took several sips until she had drunk the fish soup in the bowl, which was not too cold.
"Silly, don't burn!" Chu Mingde smiled and was disgusted.
The daughter originally had a temperament, but since joining the family business, she can only learn to be steady, although she occasionally makes a little daughter gesture in front of him, a father, but it is only occasionally, for Chu Mingde, a father, he will never see the little girl who used to eat and laugh loudly in front of him.
And now, the little girl who ate happily with pigtails more than ten years ago seems to be back.
For a father, this is one of the things to be happy about.
When the child is small, you want him (her) to grow up quickly, but when he (she) grows up and inevitably gets farther and farther away from you, you want him (her) to grow up slower.
Life is such a contradiction.
"Dad, come, don't be busy eating shrimp, I'll serve you a bowl too, I can guarantee that this is the most delicious fish soup I've ever drunk in my life." The woman immediately served a bowl to her relieved old father.
。。。。。。
Half an hour later.
Father and daughter stared at each other with wide eyes.
In front of it, there is already a mess.
The soup is gone, and the shrimp are only left with shrimp shells on the table.
It was probably the cleanest meal the father and daughter had ever eaten in their lives after eating countless delicacies.
Even the shrimp claws are peeled very carefully.
