When Zeng Gong was about to pick mushrooms, Steven hurried to Qinglian Ranch with his secretary, this time the gamble could not be lost, the mushrooms in other places were not available to them because of the disturbance of competitors, and he now pinned all his hopes on Qinglian Ranch.

"Zeng, quick, show me those mushrooms. As soon as Steven walked into the villa, he yelled at Zeng Gong, his face full of anxiety and exhaustion, because he hadn't slept well in the past few days.

Zeng Gong handed over a cup of hot coffee and asked with concern, "How can you do it, seeing that your complexion is very bad, do you need me to give you an acupuncture massage?"

"Zeng, don't be kidding, I'm already in a state of exhaustion, and if I can't get good quality mushrooms, then my restaurant will be finished. Steven said with a bitter face, he wasn't in the mood to do anything when he wasn't sure about the quality of the mushrooms.

Zeng Gong shook his head, knowing that this old friend was worried about the mushroom matter, and it was not good to continue to tease his fragile nerves, pointing to a small tray on the coffee table, on which he collected mushrooms to make the mushroom feast, just to make a sample, and he didn't have to travel tirelessly.

"That's on the table, see for yourself. Zeng Gong shrugged his shoulders and naturally stepped aside.

Steven followed Zeng Gong's fingers and looked, sure enough, some trays were prepared on the table, and some mushrooms were placed on the trays, mainly precious edible mushrooms such as bamboo sunflower, lion's mane mushroom, porcini mushroom, morel mushroom, mouth mushroom, matsutake mushroom, black tiger palm mushroom, etc., which looked very hungry and fresh, and he was sure that these edible mushrooms were picked not long ago.

"Zeng, are these all mushrooms from the pasture?" Steven couldn't help but get excited when he looked at the mushrooms on the table, in fact, he didn't have much hope before he came, after all, Montana almost doesn't produce mushrooms, and there are some northern varieties, which is still a bit stretched for him.

Zeng Gong nodded, there is nothing to hide, the particularity of Qinglian Ranch has long been in front of him, there are fish in the sea in the saltwater lake, which can be regarded as a big miracle, such as the Caspian Sea, which makes people just feel curious, but what really interests Qinglian Ranch is that in the middle and high latitudes, there are most of the environment and landforms on the earth, and it is less than a million acres of land.

"So what about the quality?" Steven was already surprised, he was most concerned about the quality of these mushrooms now, although there were many varieties, if the quality was not up to it, it was useless to say anything.

"I made a table of mushroom feasts, don't you know if you taste it yourself?" Zeng Gong shrugged, he had nothing to explain about Qinglian Ranch, a fact is louder than words.

Steven didn't feel a little excited when he heard this, although he is also a chef and is also well-known internationally, especially in the achievements of French cuisine, few people can surpass him, but since he tasted Zeng Gong's craftsmanship, he knows that there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the world, people are not only proficient in Chinese cuisine, the entire Asian and European cuisine is also quite proficient, every time he tastes a new insight, every time he comes to Qinglian Ranch will look forward to it.

"Are these these?" Steven's eyes lit up a little as he looked at the plates that filled the dining table, although they were tightly covered by the insulation equipment and couldn't see the inside.

Zeng Gong couldn't help but shake his head, and said with some amusement: "How is this possible? Although mushrooms are delicious and nutritious, eating too much is not good for the body." ”

Steven smiled embarrassedly, he was so nervous during this time, he was always nervous when it came to something related to mushrooms, and his eyes flickered and turned in other directions.

"Hey, Joseph, why are you here?" Steven suddenly found an acquaintance of his own, his face couldn't help but change, and his tone was a little unpleasant.

Joseph smiled bitterly and touched his nose, he understood Steven's mood very well, if he found such a top-notch ingredient supply base, he would hide it, if it wasn't for his confidants, he would never reveal half a point, and now looking at Steven's expression, he knew that he had misunderstood.

"Steven, I came here by a complete accident, can you believe it, I have a good friend who works at National Geographic, and he revealed to me what happened here. Joseph hurriedly explained that his restaurant was in Boston and Steven's was in New York, and there was no fundamentally conflict of interest, not to mention that the two were still good friends, and he didn't want to lose their friendship.

"I don't know Mr. Joseph, don't look at me, I did entertain the National Geographic reporters when they were here, and I really don't know if they leaked it. Zeng Gong saw Steven looking at him, and hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Yes, Steven looked at Zeng Gong's appearance of pushing two, six or five, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, even if Zeng Gong was involved in this matter, he was helpless, after all, the more the top restaurant owner here knew, the better it would be for him, and he believed that Zeng Gong would help the trouble openly and secretly.

"Joseph, I think we have something to discuss. Steven's eyes flashed, and his gaze turned to Joseph, in this matter they must reach an offensive and defensive alliance, such a thing is of course the least known as possible, it is better for them to make a fortune quietly.

Joseph nodded, he knew what Steven meant, he quickly stood up and walked outside with Steven, Zeng Gong sat on the seat and looked at the back of the two of them with interest, although he didn't know what they would discuss, but there was absolutely no harm to Qinglian Ranch, Qinglian Ranch was unique, it was completely a seller's market, and it would be good to sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

There was not much time, and the two of them walked back with smiles on their faces, apparently reaching some kind of agreement.

"Zeng, aren't you going to introduce you to the mushroom feast?" said Steven with a smile on his face, obviously satisfied with the agreement reached between the two, and couldn't help but joke with his ease.

"There's no hurry for this first, Lady Mary and Sanders haven't come here yet, let's wait a little longer. Zeng Gong shook his head, this mushroom banquet is not to prepare for business negotiations with Steven, it is more of a private party between friends, this friend has not come yet, how can he have a banquet.

Eh, Steven was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then sat in his seat with a somewhat ugly face, he didn't expect Zeng Gong to have this attitude at all, and he couldn't help but twist a pimple in his heart.

"I wonder when they'll be able to come back?" asked Joseph, tentatively, with a twinkle in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
