"Hello uncle!" At Zhou Kun's house, Xu Yang looked well-behaved, lost his fragrant temperament in the past, and completely became a civilized and polite good child.

As a good friend of Zhou Kun who used it and threw it away, Xu Yang's Xiangyan was only afraid that it was the last catering unit in Tongcheng to know about this batch of pine nuts, and the purpose of his visit today was very simple, that is, to take away the last batch of pine nuts in Zhou Kun's hand.

"Xu Yang, why do you have time to come here today?" When Zhou Kun and his family lived in the old house before, Xu Yang often came to visit the door, so Lao Zhou was no stranger to Xu Yang.

"Uncle and aunt, I haven't come to see you since you recovered, so I brought something with me today. Xu Yang raised the things in his hand, it was just about to be the New Year, and many New Year gift boxes were now just right.

"What do you bring with you, do you have to eat? Why don't you stay for lunch, it just so happens that your aunt stewed a duck today." ”

"Don't eat, I have something to do with Zhou Kun today, and I'm going to go back when I'm done." ”

Xu Yang is burdened with a heavy responsibility today, you must know that Chef Wei of Xiangyan has been uneasy recently because of this pine nut. At the beginning, Jufeng Lou grabbed pine nuts and launched many pine nut-related specialties, and for a while, the old customers of Xiangyan went to the opposite door.

Chef Wei didn't know the truth, and thought that the dishes he had made recently were not in line with his taste, and his skills had regressed, so he immersed himself in designing several new dishes in a row.

But Xu Yang felt that there was something wrong here, and after inquiring privately, he found that Kunyang actually came out with a new pine nut, which is said to be magical in that there is an indescribable complex fragrance, as long as a small amount can add a lot of color to the dish.

Xu Yang's first reaction was why this pine nut himself was the last to know!

In fact, Zhou Kun can't be blamed, this batch of pine nuts did not enter the market at all in the strict sense, but because of the relationship between Liang Xuan and Chef Ma, various restaurants got a batch of lottery tickets through abnormal means, and finally exchanged them for pine nuts.

"Manager Xu, I don't think it's necessary for us to use this batch of pine nuts in Xiangyan. ”

With the relationship between Xu Yang and Zhou Kun, he was very confident that he could get a batch of pine nuts no matter what, at most it was a matter of quantity, but at this time, Chef Wei suddenly rejected Xu Yang's proposal to buy the goods.

"Chef Wei, this Jufeng Building uses this pine nut, and it has become popular again recently, if we don't use this pine nut, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the other party for a while. Xu Yang's statement is not unreasonable, after all, the loss of customers in the past two days is the best proof.

"From the last time tomatoes and water chestnuts I found that although the ingredients in Kunyang are good, the biggest problem is that they have no way to supply them for a long time. ”

It turns out that Chef Wei's concern is this, as a chef understands the importance of ingredients best, but it is not a good thing for a chef to rely too much on one ingredient. The previous batch of tomatoes and water chestnuts in Kunyang did bring him a lot of fame in Tongcheng, but the side effects after the supply of ingredients was cut off were also very obvious.

At least Ma Gongzi's mouth has been raised, and now they come to pick thorns every day, and there are few times when they are satisfied, the threshold of customer taste is constantly improving, and the corresponding chef level has not kept up, which is not a good thing for the Xiangyan kitchen team led by Chef Wei.

"Master Wei, I must go to get this pine nut, after all, if there are conditions, I won't get it back, and it will be difficult for the boss to know that I am here. ”

"I said it's not necessary, even if you take it back, I won't use it. ”

"I can't take care of this, anyway, I'm going to buy first. ”

During the time when Xu Yang went to the Flower of Jinlan, Xiao Xu, Chef Wei's apprentice, found that his master was absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

If a little bolder approached, you could hear Chef Wei chanting so many sentences, and the word pine nut was the most frequent.

"I don't know if the people in Tongcheng are used to eating pine nuts, and the fried rice with pine nuts is also good. Chef Wei formulaically flipped the spoon in his hand, but his mind was all on this pine nut.

"Xiao Xu, you go and see if Manager Xu has come back. ”

Every less than half an hour, Chef Wei had to call Xiao Xu to the front desk to run, and it didn't take long for Xiao Xu to run three or four times inside and out.

"Master Wei, Manager Xu is back. ”

However, to Xiao Xu's surprise, after he brought back the news of Manager Xu's return, Master Wei only replied with an "oh", and then the stir-fry of the stir-fried dishes, the stir-fry of the spoon, as if the person he was looking forward to before was not him.

"Chef Wei, come and try this pine nut tile. ”

As soon as Xu Yang returned, he stuffed a pine nut tile into Chef Wei's hand. Chef Wei looked at the amber and ivory pine nut tiles in his hand, and smelled a strange fragrance from them.

"The brown sugar and pine nuts in this are not ordinary, the hardness of the sugar is just right, there is a crispy fragrance in it, the pine nuts are fat but not greasy and have a special fragrance, I can't say what the taste is. Who bought this pine nut tile?"

"It wasn't bought by any one family, but the owner of the pine nut seller asked his neighbor to do it. "Just now at Zhou Kun's house, Lao Zhou politely took out pine nut tiles to entertain Xu Yang.

Xu Yang couldn't wait to swallow his tongue after briefly tasting a piece, so he ate three or five pieces in one go, and then when he knew that this pine nut tile was made of thousands of pounds of Kunyang pine nuts outside, he finally understood why this pine nut could be sold so expensive.

Xu Yang knew that Chef Wei was a stubborn person, because of the concerns mentioned before, even if he brought back pine nuts, this stubborn guy might not be willing to use pine nuts for the new dishes of the Hunan banquet, and all the pine nut tiles brought back were the bait cast by Xu Yang.

"The taste of these pine nuts is really good, no wonder the price is sky-high outside, but Manager Xu, you better take these pine nuts away, I won't use them." Chef Wei savored the fragrance of pine nuts in his mouth, to be honest, his heart was now in the midst of a battle between heaven and man, and no chef could resist the temptation of this special ingredient.

"Even if this pine nut is a friendship price, it will cost 2,000 yuan a catty, if Master Wei, you don't need the boss to reimburse me at all, so you better put it away, even if it's just for entertaining special diners, otherwise I can't bear to eat such expensive pine nuts." Although Xu Yang's words were a little suspicious of selling miserably, they did make Chef Wei accept the bag of pine nuts.

"In this case, I let Xiao Xu receive it in the warehouse, but when to use this pine nut is still a little talk. ”

Chef Wei finally deliberately explained that Xiao Xu should be placed in a locked cabinet in the innermost part of the warehouse, after all, that lock may be his last stubbornness.
