Chapter 192: Buying Wine
Although he didn't read the comments posted on the post, Xu Fang also knew that this matter could not be explained simply and could be explained clearly.
The strength of the Xiulan Group has made many people in the catering industry panic.
The operation of the Tianwaitian Hotel, as well as their conspiracy, I believe that many people in the industry can understand it with a guess. But in the face of an opponent like Xiulan, or it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, there is obviously no one who is willing to debunk it.
With the help of people from all walks of life, if the Xiulan Group does not fight, its reputation will inevitably be damaged.
Taking a deep breath, a flash of anger flashed in Xu Fang's eyes.
Find the phone and call Zhao Yufei.
"Mr. Xu, what's the matter?"
"You've heard all the war letters given to us by the Outer Heavens, right?" asked Xu Fang.
When it came to this, Zhao Yufei's tone was not good: "Well, I see, the hotel is too shameless, it is clear that it can't be done, and it wants our medicinal diet formula." ”
Xu Fang smiled dumbly: "Okay, big beauty, don't be angry." I want to ask you something, you have always admired Song Meirong, the manager of the outer heavens, I asked you to dig her, did she agree?"
"I didn't dig it, but she didn't explicitly refuse, and affirmed our hotel, if there is a chance, I will choose our hotel." ”
"Yes, I see. Xu Fang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the challenge of the sky, run the branch well." ”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fang opened the Weibo of the Xiulan Hotel and planned a message to be released:
I heard that Tianwaitian Hotel in Qingyun City questioned the taste of our group's dishes, and our company felt extremely funny. The recognition and praise of so many customers is obviously an affirmation of our dishes. As an opponent, you blindly smear, is this your hotel's competitive means?
Xiulan Group is a very potential enterprise, because of the opening of Xiulan Hotel and Xiulan hot pot restaurant, the turnover of Tianwaitian Hotel has shrunk by two-thirds and continues to decline.
The company, which was already in the twilight of the mountains, actually hired an external special chef to challenge Xiulan and wanted to seize Xiulan's medicinal diet formula, which our company was deeply disgusted by.
Since the challenge is coming to the door, Xiulan Group will naturally not retreat. If your company wins, the medicinal diet will be given free of charge. If Xiulan Group wins, please dismiss the hotel manager Ms. Song on the same day (our company will accept it with a high salary). If you agree, three days later, the pedestrian street Time Square will fight.
After checking that it was correct, Xu Fang clicked send.
……
This challenge incident, because of the blatant challenge of the Tianwaitian Hotel, has not only spread in the catering industry, but has even risen to the attention of the whole people.
Just when everyone was speculating whether the Xiulan Group did not dare to respond to the war, someone posted the words posted by the official blog of the Xiulan Group directly.
Now netizens immediately boiled!
No wonder the sky threatened to challenge, it turned out that the turnover had shrunk by more than half. ”
"Xiulan Hotel has no money to eat, but Xiulan hot pot tastes really good, this is definitely a conspiracy outside the sky. ”
"I've eaten the food of both hotels, and the food outside the sky is good, but after eating the food of the Xiulan Hotel, I have never been to the outside of the world. ”
"Upstairs 666. ”
"Time Square, it's a big place, it's a Saturday three days later, and you have to see it. ”
"As a chef, I also have to go and see, I don't know what the chefs of both are doing. ”
Times are evolving, and netizens also have their own thoughts. Seeing the post posted by the official blog of the Shirlan Hotel, some people guessed the reason for the incident.
The high-end catering group in southern Fujian Province is also very lively at the moment.
"Have you heard, Xiulan Group has been challenged. One person sent out the link.
"Ouch, I'll go, this trick is ruthless, I don't know what kind of chef I'm looking for?"
"It seems to be Pang Jianxin, a national first-class chef, who is very good at cooking, and used to work in Puhai City, but this time he should have been hired temporarily. ”
", Pang Jianxin! Tianwaitian will definitely not be able to hire him, so he should be hired temporarily and used for war. ”
"This is too shameless, unless the Xiulan Group can invite a higher-level chef, otherwise it will really lose this time. ”
Compared with the public's support for the Showland Group, people in the industry are not so optimistic about the victory of the Showland Group.
Xu Fang turned off the computer and was chatting with Zheng Xiulan's four daughters when Lin Xiangxue's call came.
"Miss Lin, what's the matter?" Xu Fang asked knowingly.
"What else can I do, what else should I do, let's talk about what to prepare. ”
Lin Xiangxue didn't ask why she wanted to fight, her only attitude was unconditional support.
Xu Fang was slightly moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "What we have to do is all the dishes that our hotel has, and we don't need too many things to prepare, but some still have to be wanted." Go buy a few pheasants, preferably more than a year, and prepare an extra stove, the rest is condiments, I will go to the city and buy them directly. ”
"Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, you have time to come to me. Lin Xiangxue said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll go to you at night. Xu Fang smiled.
"Virtue, come as you want, what day and night. Lin Xiangxue's voice was a little angry.
Hanging up the phone, Xu Fang smiled and said, "I'll go out." ”
Zheng Xiulan expressed her understanding: "It's all ready, and in three days, a few of our sisters will also go to the square to have a look." ”
Xu Fang nodded and rode a motorboat towards the city.
As soon as he got into the taxi, a text message came from Xu Fang's mobile phone, and Lin Xiangxue sent it, and the message was very concise: The sky outside the sky has been prepared.
Xu Fang smiled slightly, put away his mobile phone, and said with a smile: "Master, drive directly to Guxiang Street." ”
"Hey, young people don't go to that place much. The driver answered.
Forty minutes later, the car stopped and Xu Fang got out of the car.
Guxiang Street, an old street in Qingyun City, used to be very prosperous, and then the city developed to the north, and this side has lost the excitement of the past.
This street is dominated by antiques, and some restaurants and shops are rare in the shadow of the old city.
There is a hotel here, called Lao Song Wine Fang. The reason why I know this place is that Xu Fang's grandfather loves to drink the wine here, usually some medicine, and sometimes he also uses the wine here, and his grandfather took Xu Fang to come a few times when he was a child.
The sake here is made using local methods. There are only two kinds of liquor: white wine and rice wine. The wine is crisp and fragrant.
It's just that I haven't been back for some years, and I don't know if the tavern is still open.
In my impression, the winery is on this street, walking fifty meters ahead of the alley.
After walking on the bluestone road for two minutes, I saw a small house at the entrance of the alley, and the signboard of "Song Family Tavern" was hung above the lintel, which was still the wooden plaque in the past.
In the past, Xu Fang didn't know the goods, but now, he can see at a glance that this wooden plaque is made of pineapple wood, and such a small piece can be sold for 200,000 yuan.
Behind the cottage is the courtyard, which is also the place where the old Song dynasty makes wine.
The smell of wine wafted out from inside, Xu Fang took a deep breath and walked towards the house.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, two shelves. One is for liquor and the other is for rice wine. The bottles are all small jars packed with one pound, which looks very charming.
The price is clearly marked, twenty for a bottle.
However, there are also a few bottles of wine, placed at the bottom of the cabinet, the jar is pitch black, I don't know what is inside, and there is no price tag, as for how much Lao Song sells, Xu Fang does not know. However, the wine that Grandpa bought before seems to be filled in that black jar. When I was a child, I didn't see my grandfather spend money, and Xu Fang didn't know the specific price.
There was no one in the shop, and Xu Fang couldn't help but sigh.
The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys?
This is very inappropriate now.
Lao Song's wine can be said to taste good. It's a pity that it's just such a small shop, and no one will buy it.
There was no one in the shop, Xu Fang was a little curious, and shouted a few times: "Is there anyone?"
No one answered for a long time, and as soon as Xu Fang's ears were pricked up, he heard a faint hum coming from the courtyard.
Xu Fang pushed open the back door of the hut and couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him.
An old man was lying on the ground, his face was sallow, cold sweat was dripping, and his eyes were closed, obviously sick.
Xu Fang walked over quickly, put his hand on the old man's pulse, and then quickly tore open the old man's shirt, took out five silver needles, and quickly sealed the old man's liver and viscera.
The medical formula in the body worked at a uniform speed, and a gentle force twisted along the silver needle and penetrated into the old man's body.
As Xu Fangyin's twisting speed accelerated, the old man's already weak breathing suddenly began to become more aggravated and short, and his sallow face was a little more rosy.
After five minutes, the old man's breathing stabilized, and Xu Fang breathed a long sigh of relief and directly withdrew the silver needle.
The old man's liver was damaged, he should have drunk too much in the early years, and his liver should have been injured and almost crippled, so he should have died a long time ago, but he was rescued by a master.
Although his life was saved, as the old man got older, the old man, who had a bad liver, should not have received any conditioning over the years, and now he finally relapsed.
Fortunately, he met himself, otherwise this old man would never have survived today.
Without waiting two minutes, the old man also opened his eyes.
Although he was already in a coma just now, when he became ill, the old man knew it in his heart. I thought I was dead, but when I saw a young man sitting next to him in the yard of my house, I couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Big brother, did you save the old man?"
"If you want to come and buy wine, but when no one answers, I go into the backyard and see that you are on the ground, so I will help you up. Old man, your liver is not good, you used to drink a small amount of alcohol to maintain your health, but now that you are older, you will hurt your body if you get drunk, so quit if you can. Xu Fang persuaded.
"Hey, old man, how many years do I have to live? Big brother, are you here to buy a bar? do you want white wine or rice wine?" asked the old man.
Xu Fang smiled: "White." ”
Old Song Tou led Xu Fang towards the hut, and took a few bottles of wine from the cabinet: "How much do you want?" ”
Xu Fang bought liquor and kept it for the third day of the competition, which was needed in one of the dishes.
It didn't take much, Xu Fang smiled: "Let's have five bottles." ”
"I don't want the money. "Old Song Tou packed it for Xu Fang.
"How can this work? Xu Fang threw a hundred pieces on the table, and went out with the wine.
"Hey, big brother, I don't want this money!" Old Song Tou chased after him with the money, but how could Xu Fang's guy run fast, and Xu Fang walked out of the street in a few steps.
Watching Xu Fang run away, Lao Song Tou sighed: "This kid has a really good heart, he is much kinder than the old man before, but unfortunately he died earlier than Lao Tzu." ”
Xu Fang went out of the street and took a taxi towards the hotel headquarters.
Looking at the wine next to him, Xu Fang unscrewed a bottle, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Although there is still the smell of wine back then, there is still a lot of gap between it and the aroma of wine in my impression, so I hurriedly called the driver: "Dude, go back, drive back!"
