Capet, who was in his fifties, had a dark complexion and rough skin, and he really looked like he was working in the field. Xiao Ping knew that this was the trace left by Capet's expedition to various parts of the world to find spices, and he couldn't help but admire this old man a little more.

Seeing Pierre and Xiao Ping coming in, Capet stood up and smiled: "Welcome to Pierre, my friend, this must be Mr. Xiao, right?"

"Hello, Mr. Capet. Xiao Ping also greeted the other party politely: "I'm really sorry to delay your time by taking the liberty of coming to visit this time." ”

The Capet family is worthy of being an old nobleman, and he smiled very gentlemanly: "You are too polite, Mr. Xiao, please take out your seasoning and show it to me." ”

The time for Zhilu Dao and Capet to meet was only half an hour, and Xiao Ping didn't want to waste time, so he quickly took out a box of crocuses and handed it to the other party, "Please take a look at this." ”

Capet's face was surprised at the first sight of the croc, and he couldn't help muttering, "Not bad, it's kind of interesting." ”

Cape opened the box as he spoke, leaning closer and sniffing deeply at the slightly pungent scent of croc. A look of satisfaction soon appeared on Capet's face, and he said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, Pierre, please sit down, give me some time to taste these saffrons." ”

Xiao Ping and Pierre looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the saffron had aroused Capet's interest. Although the attitude of the seasoning expert just now was also very polite, both of them could feel that it was completely out of his own cultivation. And now Cape's attitude is a little more eager in politeness, which is the reaction that Xiao Ping wants to see.

However, although Capet invited Xiao Ping and Pierre to sit, the two could only stand.

This is because Capet's study is so messy. In addition to the shelves against the wall full of books, even the tables and floors are littered with books. Although there are a few chairs in the study. But it's also full of books. Xiao Ping and Pierre didn't want to flip through Capet's book casually, so naturally they could only stand.

And Capet beckoned the two to sit down. But he didn't even glance at them, and the seasoning experts had already put all their energy on the saffron in front of them.

Capet swept a few books to the floor, leaving a small space on his desk. He took some crocuses out of the box and placed them on white cardboard, carefully observing the color, shape, and dryness of the stamens. The more Capet looked, the more he looked fascinated, and he muttered to himself as if no one was around, "Tsk...... Pure deep fuchsia, not even a hint of yellow, and the shape is complete, it is simply flawless, and the degree of dryness is ...... Not bad either. There is no problem with long-term storage. ”

By this time, Capet had fallen into a complete frenzy for seasonings, and his eyes were as keen as those of an eagle, scrutinizing the appearance of these crocflowers, hoping to find some shortcomings.

But Capet soon realized that he had done it in vain. The saffron was so perfect in appearance that even Cape, who was known for his harshness, had a hard time pinpointing anything.

Then Capet rummaged through the cabinets to find a small porcelain mortar, took out some saffron and put it in the mortar, and carefully crushed it with a porcelain mallet. Xiao Ping dried the saffron so much that the seasoning experts easily crushed the saffron into a crimson powder.

Capet leaned close to the porcelain mortar and sniffed the saffron carefully. I couldn't help but nod slightly, very satisfied with the spicy taste. After sniffing for a while, he picked up a small handful of saffron powder and sprinkled it on his tongue, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, and then showed a very intoxicated expression.

"Whew...... This saffron is really superb!" Capet, who opened his eyes, saw Xiao Ping looking at him. Immediately his eyebrows fluttered, and he praised: "The unique fragrance of saffron is just rightly balanced, rich and has a long aftertaste, and the feeling of this flavor spreading in the mouth is really wonderful! Your company's crocuses are fantastic!"

Originally, Xiao Ping was a little apprehensive, for fear that the quality of these saffrons would be average. After being introduced to the market, he smashed his own signboard. Now that he has received such affirmation from Capet, his hanging heart can finally be put down.

Xiao Ping smiled modestly: "You have won the prize." Our saffron can be recognized by experts like you. That should be ready to go to market. ”

Capel nodded again and again, "Of course, this is the best crocus I've ever seen." I bet you that these saffrons will definitely shock the entire industry, and all the fine dining restaurants will want to buy your company's saffron in the future. ”

Seeing that Capet's evaluation of saffron was so high, Pierre was also overjoyed, and took the opportunity to say to him: "Mr. Capet, since you appreciate our crocallows so much, why don't you give an appraisal opinion." ”

Capet happily agreed: "Yes, it is also my honor to be able to make an appraisal opinion for such a good quality saffron!"

This seasoning expert is also a straightforward person, casually took out a pen and paper from the desk drawer, and wrote in front of Xiao Ping and Pierre.

Don't look at Capet as a Frenchman, but he also writes a beautiful English cursive. Xiao Ping watched with great interest, only to see Capet write on a piece of paper: I, Brewer Jean Capet, hereby solemnly assure me that the saffron sent to me by Mr. Xiao is of extremely high quality, and it is a super-first-class saffron, and I hereby declare it. After a brief statement, Capet signed his name in beautiful floral lettering.

Although it was only a very simple statement, Pierre next to him was very happy to see it. This is the appraisal statement of the seasoning expert Capet, and he also highly admires Xiao Ping's saffron in the statement, which is a very rare situation.

Pierre knew that as long as he had this statement, even if the price of saffron was set several times higher than the market price, customers would not have any objections. More importantly, this can consolidate the company's position in the high-end food market, giving everyone the impression that all products of Xianhu Company must be of top quality.

Capet was obviously very serious about this statement, and after signing his name, he glanced at it and said, "By the way, there is also a seal!"

As an old aristocrat, Capet also adheres to some old traditions. For example, the ring on the little finger of Capet's left hand, which is his personal seal. Capet took off the ring and looked around blankly, muttering to himself, "Where's the ink?"

Capet's office was so messy that there was no place to sit, and it wasn't easy to find ink. He rummaged through the study, and finally cheered and said, "Found it!"

The clay was placed in the middle of the shelf, and just as Capet pushed open a few books and took them out, a photograph fell out of the book. Xiao Ping just glanced at it inadvertently, and immediately couldn't help but be surprised. (To be continued......)
