Chapter 24: Origin
Jiang Lijun looked at Zhou Heng and asked curiously: "I want to sign an underwriting contract with you, are you still unwilling?" Do you think that others can afford this kind of price?"
He is rich, but he is also a businessman, and he knows all kinds of ways in business.
He knows the cost price of his peers, the sales price of dishes, the marketing cost, and the profit margin, and of course he knows himself.
Unlike others, he opened a high-priced private restaurant, and he didn't care how much money he made, he just wanted to operate high-end dishes, which was the only reason why he opened a gourmet restaurant.
He is willing to pay a high price for ingredients, and others are willing to do it?
He has a strong economic backing, even if this store is so lost, it doesn't matter to him, others can compare?
Therefore, not everyone is willing to spend such a large price to buy Zhou Heng's local chicken.
But of course, he is not a fool, and he dares to open such a high price, so he naturally has his plans.
He didn't talk about a price increase of one hundred and one hundred, and slowly grinded the price again and again to test the other party's bottom line or something, but directly quoted the price he thought was appropriate.
It's not that he doesn't know how to negotiate, it's mainly that he doesn't have that patience.
The matter of a few hundred chickens, as for the effort to do that?
No, Zhou Heng is still unwilling to agree.
People also know that his local chickens are good! These days, how can there be a real fool.
Zhou Heng said: "Boss Jiang, in fact, thank you very much for looking up to our local chickens so much, come all the way over, and the price can be given, and the sincerity is very full." However, I also have my considerations. ”
After a pause, he said: "I don't sign an underwriting contract with you, not because I plan to ask other people's prices again, but because I want to run it myself." ”
Jiang Lijun immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Do you want to build a high-end brand?"
In a word.
Zhou Heng was embarrassed and said with a smile: "I have this idea." I want to try it and see if it works. ”
"Then let's join forces, I'm more familiar with brand building than you!" Jiang Lijun said.
Zhou Heng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "In terms of specific aspects, I haven't planned it yet, it's too early for us to talk about these now." ”
The topic does not go into depth here.
Since Zhou Heng disagreed, he would first buy the existing batch of more than 500 local chickens in front of him, which was still unique to his family.
It's a big deal to feed it out later, and he will monopolize it again.
Jiang Lijun will transport these local chickens back in batches, and those who have gained weight in the follow-up will still be bought at today's unit price.
In terms of the demand for his private restaurant, more than 500 chickens are estimated to be enough to sell for two months.
High-end prices, sales volume can not be compared with the general hotel stalls. Maybe some chicken-based restaurants sell more than 500 chickens a day.
Especially like the yellow stewed chicken, which has been unexpectedly popular in the past two years, it must have greatly increased the demand for chickens.
But Jiang Lijun is not compared with others, he takes the high-end route.
I didn't open this thing to make money.
The sales plan had just been finalized, and Zhou Heng's mobile phone suddenly "ding-dong", he knew that it was the sound of the breeding APP, and he didn't know what new tasks came out.
But he was talking to someone at this time, and he didn't care about looking at his phone for the time being.
……
The conversation has been finished, it is not too early, and it is time to arrange for the guests to rest.
The empty rooms had been cleared long ago, and the bedding had been laid out. In the summer of the mountain village, don't look at the daytime to be hot, but you still need to cover it in the middle of the night, otherwise it will be cold.
Jiang Xiaoxuan lives in Zhou Ying's room, she touches the newly laid big flower quilt cover, and feels that this should be the aesthetic of thirty years ago?
Good nostalgic feeling.
She doesn't know what happened to the eldest lady of other people's families, anyway, she, a girl from a rich family, has suffered everything.
For example, she can use a large wood stove to cook, kill chickens and chop fish, stir-fry vegetables, pick some wild vegetables or ingredients in the field, etc., anyway, she is basically very skilled in food-related things.
In this regard, it can be said that many girls from average families may not be as good as her.
Sometimes, for a certain fungus in a certain place, they will wait for the season, take a plane to that province, follow people into the mountains to find it, and even spend the night in the mountains to squat.
I learned all of this from my father, and I can't do it if I don't learn it.
Therefore, living in Zhou Heng's house like this is not a problem at all.
When my father was learning a craft, in addition to doing this, he also had to serve the master in his daily life, and he had to do a lot of things. What about you? Do you serve your father?
Speaking of these, Jiang Xiaoxuan had a headache and felt like her father was chanting scriptures.
She knew that in those years, people paid attention to respecting their teachers, respecting their masters like their fathers, and the apprenticeship ceremony was very solemn, paying attention to being a teacher for one day and a father for life.
But in the same way, it's annoying to listen to too much, isn't it? With my father, you can be a little coquettish.
Jiang Xiaoxuan lay on the bed after taking a shower, put the kitten next to her pillow, raised her hand to stroke it enough, and sent a message to his father.
[Dad, I see that you are very satisfied with today's local chicken? Do you know how much the famous chicken in France costs a pound?
She didn't ask this at the time, and now it's private time, so she came to ask to see what her father thought.
Waiting for the time to reply to the message, he raised his hand to pet the cat, and at night, the kitten's pupils were fully opened, the whole eye was round, and the mouth was open "Ah", revealing a few little tiger teeth, and the milk voice was milky.
Jiang Xiaoxuan only felt that her heart was about to be cute.
With a "beep", the phone rang, and Dad's reply came.
Jiang Lijun said in a voice: "Daughter, Dad has a recipe in his heart that has been treasured for many years, and it's time to see this dish again." ”
"What kind of recipe? so mysterious?" Jiang Xiaoxuan asked while petting the cat.
She knew a little about her father's master.
Jiang Lijun's master, surnamed Wu, lived for more than ninety years and passed away a few years ago. When Jiang Lijun was only fifteen years old, he asked him to learn art, and it took him five years to learn before he became a teacher.
This was more than thirty years ago.
Master Wu Lao, it can be said that he was born at the wrong time, when he was young, the society was turbulent, his cooking skills had no place to play, and he did not dare to play, at most all year round, he was to cook banquets for the township or something, and he usually farmed to make a living.
When Jiang Lijun worshipped him as a teacher, he was already 60 years old.
In fact, he has accepted a lot of apprentices over the years, but the one who won his heart the most should be Jiang Lijun.
He is down-to-earth and willing to learn, he is also smart, ambitious, and willing to study, unlike other senior brothers, who will leave the school after learning a few scoops of water, go to hold banquets for people, and rush to make money.
Jiang Lijun has been with him for the longest time and has learned the most. thought that he would eventually carry forward the master, but after he went south to work, things changed again.
At that time, it was the time of reform and opening up, and the first batch of people who were bold and careful soon began to develop, and Jiang Lijun, a smart, ambitious, and willing to study people, of course also saw the opportunity.
What is the difference between learning to cook and doing anything else to make money? So, he started from moving bricks, to being a contractor, to taking land to build houses, villas, and shopping malls, and for decades, his wealth has snowballed.
After getting rich, I remembered that he was learning to cook back then.
His master was once a well-known imperial chef, and his master was the first apprentice of the imperial chef, and completely inherited the mantle of the imperial kitchen.
However, when the time comes, the devil comes to cook for the devil, the warlord comes to cook for the warlord, and the landlord comes to cook for the landlord......
After that, the identity was not clear, and I didn't dare to use my cooking skills anymore.
suffered a lot of twists and turns, and it was not until his later years that he slowly began to work as a banquet chef in the township, occasionally accepting a few apprentices.
What Jiang Lijun learned was the southern imperial kitchen skills that his master had buried in his heart for decades.
With guilt in his heart, he picked up the art again.
Today, the situation is really different.
I think that when he first came out of school, it was the most difficult time of the times, people don't say anything about good official swallows, it would be good to be able to feed the whole family with more than a dozen mouths of millet coarse grains.
The imperial kitchen has no room to play, at most it is just fried rice noodles at street stalls.
Now, he wants money, ability, and ability, and he can get all the high-end ingredients he wants, and he is really suitable for returning to his old business.
Moreover, now people's consumption level is also high, and any kind of dish can find its consumer group.
His private restaurant, the high-end dishes in it, were taught to him by his master back then.
He opened this food hall half for the feelings of the past, and half for the realization of the master's dream. When Master talked about the dishes he had seen from his ancestors, his eyebrows fluttered.
If these dishes can regain their former glory, Master said that he would have no regrets in his death.
In fact, in those days, due to the limitations of ingredients, the master could only teach him dishes with ordinary ingredients, while high-end dishes did not have good material demonstrations, and the techniques were all taught orally and virtually.
According to the skills taught by the master, he experimented step by step, tried to make dishes one by one, and looked at cooking from an artistic perspective.
Good dishes are not unrelated to good ingredients, and some dishes require the highest quality ingredients.
In his heart, there has always been a dish, but because there are no suitable ingredients, it has always been in the bottom of his heart.
Now that he has really encountered it, he wants to try it.
What he considered was that if this dish was successful, of course he hoped that the ingredients could be his own, and he didn't want any copycats, so he wanted to sign an exclusive underwriting contract with Zhou Heng.
It's a pity that Zhou Heng doesn't agree, that's not a big problem, he just buys all the ingredients, it's still a monopoly on ingredients.
Besides, he has raised the price of the main ingredients so high, even if some people want to copy, they have to afford it!
Jiang Lijun told his daughter with a smile: "When you go back, Dad will make a dish, and you will know." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan replied: "Pretend to be mysterious." Forget it, good night dad. ”
"Good night, baby girl!" Jiang Lijun said with a smile.
……
After settling the guests, Zhou Heng returned to his room, and then he could take care of looking at the mobile phone messages.
[Congratulations on successfully completing the first sale, obtaining 500 experience points, and getting a "Sales Gift Pack", please click to receive.] 】
Zhou Heng was suddenly happy, but he didn't expect that the sale was successful, and he could trigger the gift package. He hurriedly clicked "Claim".
[Congratulations on obtaining ten "Lark Pills".] 】
Zhou Heng was stunned, this is the ten grains? In addition, he still had two grains in his hand before.
That's when he just got the big bundle and a new quest is triggered.
[Discover a new mission: Raise 6,000 local chickens.] Experience 0/6000. 】
Zhou Heng was speechless, he had just gotten twelve "Lark Pills", each of which was the amount of five hundred chickens, which meant that he could just raise six thousand native chickens.
The math of this app is pretty good, and not a single grain is wasted.
In other words, he now has the task of raising fish and raising chickens at the same time!
It's not a small investment.
……
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Yunlian got up, opened the courtyard door, and prepared to start the day's work.
Opening the chicken coop, the chickens scrambled to drill out, and one by one they waited in place.
After sprinkling the morning's feed, she put on her basket and went to the field to pick some fresh vegetables to prepare today's breakfast.
As soon as I stepped out of the hospital, I heard a soft voice from behind: "Auntie, wait for me, I'll go with you." ”
Li Yunlian looked back and saw that Jiang Xiaoxuan had already dressed up and walked out brightly, holding a kitten in one hand and a camera in the other.
The young girl is slim and beautiful.
Li Yunlian hurriedly smiled: "No, no, no, it's so early, can you sleep for a while? I'll be back in a while." ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled: "I've slept well, and I want to go to the field with you to have a look." ”
Although she couldn't understand her words a little, she could already guess from her demeanor, and the conversation was very acceptable.
Li Yunlian's heart was hot, such a good girl, she didn't think the countryside was dirty, and she was willing to follow her to the ground, how good it would be if she was her own daughter-in-law!
It's a pity that I don't have that good luck.
