355 Procurement

PS: Thank you book friends 1603170... 's reward, Xiaohua once again knelt down and begged for various tickets, as well as rewards

Qinglian Ranch is now just a small prototype, the cattle and sheep on the land have not yet reached the harvest season, the grain has not been planted, and the vegetables are far away.

"Big yellow croaker? Good guy, Qinglian Ranch actually has such a thing. Seeing the list that Zeng Gong took out, not only Steven was dumbfounded, but even Joseph, the purchasing manager who came with him, was also not lightly surprised.

The big yellow croaker is recognized as a precious fish of China's specialty, it is very popular in East Asia, the wild big yellow croaker has been fried to the price of several thousand yuan a kilogram, but unfortunately there is no price in the market, how many gourmets rush to it, and do not hesitate to buy it, often are disappointed.

"Well, Joseph, let's make some purchases. "Now the Chinese people's wallets are swelling rapidly, and although his restaurant is mainly engaged in Western food, it is inevitable that some elements of Chinese food have been introduced, among which the large yellow croaker is used in captivity, which is imported from China.

Joseph nodded, the kitchens have not complained for a day, the ingredients used to make Chinese food are too ordinary, and they can't attract more rich Chinese at all, and this time I believe it is a good opportunity to improve the standard of Chinese food in the restaurant.

"Treasure fish, Steven, let's buy it, it's very popular in the restaurant at the moment. Joseph was excited when he saw the precious and delicious treasure fish in Europe and the United States, and said to Steven excitedly.

Treasure fish is a specialty of Europe and the United States, since the Roman period, people began to eat treasure fish, it has the title of "sea chicken", Europeans like to make them into fish steaks, in the market has a lot of momentum to squeeze the steak market. It is very popular and is a must-have ingredient in every restaurant.

"Lobster?" Joseph couldn't believe that the list in his hand was real, because they almost subverted his cognition, in his eyes, even if Qinglian Ranch was a giant, it was still a ranch, how could lobsters, cod and other precious marine fish species appear in Qinglian Ranch. Even though it's the largest private ranch in the nation.

Steven also felt that he was a little numb, unlike Joseph, he had been to Qinglian Ranch, and had made a lot of good friends here, he knew that the North Stygian Sea and the South Ming Sea were very magical, only a line of separation The temperature was completely different, one side was warm as spring, and the other side was bitterly cold, knowing that there were good things in the ranch but did not expect that there were so many.

After determining the seafood you need. The two had a careful negotiation, but it went smoothly, and the fish on the list will be doubled according to the top price, which really shocked Zeng Gong, which shows that the restaurant business, especially the top restaurant, can see the high profits.

Zeng Gong doesn't care about this, maybe he will get involved in the catering industry in the future, but not now. After negotiating the price, Zeng Gong took the two of them to Sugar Maple Valley to personally verify the quality of maple sugar.

Sugar Maple Valley is not far from the villa. This was once the villa of the Oak Ranch, and was later annexed by Zeng Gong, and the Sugar Maple Valley was between the Qinglian Ranch and the Oak Ranch before, the brilliant sunlight was the goal he chased, and the brilliant red glow was full of forests, and now the Sugar Maple Valley was surrounded by people.

These people were hired by Sanders to collect maple sugar. Sugar Maple Valley is not small, there are many trees, and the number of their cowboys is not very idle, and it just so happens that there are many people who make a living from odd jobs in Livingston, all of whom are hired by Sanders to collect maple sugar on the ranch.

It's simple. Make a hole in the trunk of the maple tree, insert a plastic or metal plug, connect the plastic conduit, and the maple sap will flow into the storage tank, and maple trees over 50 years old can collect maple sap; The punching is also very particular, the depth should not exceed 75 mm, the diameter should be less than 12 mm, and it should be slightly inclined upward; In the coming year, it is necessary to re-drill in another place, and the original hole cannot be used; The annual juice pumping should also be controlled at about 10%. "It's all about protecting the maple trees.

There are also a lot of maple sugar trees around Livingston, everyone will do it every year, the technique is very skilled, there is no need to worry about anything, Steven came to the sugar maple valley to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, but a bucket by bucket to check one by one, and found that the maple sugar here is as Zeng Gong said, it is really a top product.

"Well, Steven, I didn't lie to you. Zeng Gong looked at Steven's serious inspection, walked up to him with a smile and said proudly.

"Huh. Steven smiled and said with some regret: "It's a pity that your ranch doesn't accept it, and further processing will cause me to take them to Canada and go to the handicraft workshop there to process them before the maple sugar festival is over." ”

"Maple Sugar Festival, what Maple Sugar Festival?" Zeng Gong looked at Steven suspiciously, he really didn't know anything about the Maple Sugar Festival.

The Maple Sugar Festival is a traditional Canadian folk festival where the farms that produce maple sugar are renovated every March when spring is in full swing, and everyone comes together to savor the sweet gifts that nature has to offer. The traditional maple syrup festival is open to visitors from home and abroad, especially children. Some farms also keep the old Indians' tools for collecting maple sap and making maple sugar, and use the ancient production methods to show the process of making maple sugar for tourists during the festival, and some also serve maple cake and "toffee" to tourists for free on weekends for everyone to taste.

"It's a toffee-making day. Steven said simply, he knew that there was a handicraft workshop that would only make some during the Maple Sugar Festival, and he had to hurry up, otherwise he would be preempted by the guys in New York, and there would be no top master to make these maple sugars, and ordinary methods would always leave regrets.

Zeng Gong was also disinterested when he heard this, and said a little mysteriously, "Steven, is it competitive to bring these maple candy goods to New York?"

"Competitiveness? There will definitely be, who makes these maple syrups an adjunct to the food, because it is inconspicuous, the competitiveness will not be so prominent, at best, the food made is relatively delicious." Steven carefully explained that the maple syrup was of the highest quality, but not very competitive.

"If one maple sugar tastes special and tastes a lot better than other maple syrup, do you think it will stand out from the competition? Zeng Gong continued to play mysterious, but he didn't reveal anything about Ziyu Sugar Maple.

"Do you have any other maple syrup here?" Steven looked at Zeng Gong with some confusion, didn't he sell all the maple syrup to himself.

"Of course, they're going to blow your mind. Zeng Gongxu said matter-of-factly. (To be continued.) )
