That's right, the two large crisper boxes that Xiao Feng sent to Benjamin were full of truffles, a top-quality ingredient known as 'black diamonds'.

Since deciding to accept the position of general manager of Mirror Lake Agriculture, Benjamin has spent a lot of effort to study and study the information of the world's top ingredients, and he is no stranger to truffles.

The truffle is a mushroom, often an annual fungus, which is classified into the genus Tuber (scientific name: tuber) of the ascomycetes phylum Western truffle family, and there are about 1o different varieties.

Truffles mostly grow in the roots of pine, oak and oak trees, scattered at the bottom of the tree with a radius of 12o~15o cm, and the block body is hidden in the ground 5~4o cm.

Truffles have a special smell, rich in protein, amino acids and other nutrients, and the yield is scarce, so together with foie gras and caviar, it is known as the king of the world's three treasures.

Truffles are found in countries such as France, Italy, New Zealand and China, and among the many species, the black truffle from France and the white truffle from Italy are the most rated.

Because the truffle is extremely demanding on the growing environment, it is rare and expensive.

Benjamin knows that although truffles are also produced in China, due to soil, climate and other conditions, the truffles produced in southern Yunnan are not highly evaluated in the world, and the price cannot be compared with the top truffles in France, Italy and other countries.

However, this time the truffles sent by Xiao Feng are of extremely high quality, not only with a strong fragrance, but also with a large tuber, which can be regarded as a top product in the truffle field.

"Manager Wang, I won't tell you the specific origin of the truffle. We can guarantee enough high-quality truffles to the revolving restaurant! Seeing the excitement flashing in Wang Rui's eyes, Benjamin added a fire and said, "We not only have black truffles, but the quality of white truffles is not bad!" ”

In the market, black truffles and white truffles have a big difference in price due to the richness of their aroma, and there is also a huge difference in the effect when used in dishes.

Although Benjamin doesn't know where Xiao Feng got these high-quality truffles, he can make use of these high-quality ingredients to make the cooperation between 'Jinghu Agriculture' and the revolving restaurant relatively equal.

"Okay. No problem! "I thought about it. Wang Rui and Sima Liang nodded in agreement with Benjamin's opinion.

Soon, the two sides began to have a heated discussion on the supply price of various ingredients, from meat products, eggs to various vegetables and fruits, everyone did not give an inch; In particular, truffles and matsutake mushrooms are two top ingredients. Every concession. It's a huge loss.

Overall. Benjamin had a slight advantage in the negotiations, after all, he had the best ingredients in his hands and he didn't worry about the buyers, and the revolving restaurant seemed to be strong. In fact, there are huge weaknesses.

In the end, after nearly a day of difficult tug-of-war, the revolving restaurant finally reached an agreement with 'Jinghu Agriculture' on the supply of ingredients, becoming the first customer of 'Jinghu Agriculture' in Haizhou.

Benjamin later counted that the revolving restaurant basically buys a variety of ingredients with a total price of more than 10,000 yuan from 'Jinghu Agriculture' every day, and of course, top ingredients such as truffles are calculated separately.

According to the agreement, 'Jing Wu Agricultural' can label its own promotional materials and store pù with the words 'Revolving Restaurant Supplier', and the revolving restaurant must also indicate on its menu that the ingredients are from 'Jing Wu Agricultural'.

When he left the revolving restaurant, it was already the beginning of the lights, standing in the sightseeing elevator, looking at the brilliant lights under his feet, Benjamin's heart was full of ambition.

Revolving restaurants are just the first one, and there are many more high-end restaurants to conquer!

After winning the revolving restaurant, Benjamin put more time and energy into the journey of conquering major hotels and restaurants in Haizhou, and the top ingredients of 'Jinghu Agriculture' were gradually spread in Haizhou along with this process.

If the report of "Haizhou Evening News" only established a high-end image in the minds of ordinary people, the continuation of 'Jinghu Agricultural Products'6 and the major restaurants in Haizhou is a bombshell in the Haizhou food industry!

Fang Tianpu is the host and producer of Haizhou Radio's "Haizhou Cuisine" column group, and he was the chef of a five-star hotel in his early years, and he is also the executive director of Haizhou Food Association, and has a great reputation in Haizhou food industry. The "Haizhou Cuisine" hosted by him is committed to introducing various authentic foods from Haizhou and various wonderful delicacies from all over the world to the audience in Haizhou, and the live broadcast listening rate is quite high from 5 pm to 6 pm every day!

On this day, after recording the show, he was invited to the revolving restaurant of the Oriental Pearl Tower for dinner, but he never thought that an ordinary business banquet would make him gain a lot.

In fact, Fang Tianpu usually doesn't like to eat in this kind of luxuriously decorated and expensive restaurant, which is not just a matter of money, but the chefs of these restaurants are too ingenious and far from the true meaning of food. Fang Tianpu prefers to wander through the streets and alleys of Haizhou, looking for those deeply hidden specialties, but today there is a treat, so he can only reluctantly go to the appointment.

After the greetings between the guests and the hosts, the restaurant began to serve!

There is no surprise in the appetizer, the smoked salmon that the revolving restaurant is better at, the taste is okay, but in Fang Tianpu's opinion, it is just decent.

However, the second soup is a little interesting, mushroom soup, before it was served, Fang Tianpu smelled a fragrance, fresh and distant, refreshing!

When you take a sip, the rich mushroom aroma seems to explode in your taste buds, making you feel like you are in a forest after the rain, and you get a little carried away!

One word - fresh!

Fang Tianpu thought that he was also a glutton who had tasted delicious food, but this mushroom soup still made him lose his mind.

The steamed egg meat rolls in the side dish surprised Fang Tianpu, because the aroma of the eggs completely surpassed the eggs he usually ate, as if countless chickens were dancing in his mouth.

The ensuing main course was a little weak, and the sirloin steak was well done, but it lacked a little bit of charm, and it was not much different from the usual level of the revolving restaurant.

The vegetable salad that followed greatly shocked Fang Tianpu, with crispy and refreshing cucumbers, bright lettuce and jade-like asparagus, which not only sold very well, but also tasted indescribable.

After a full meal, Fang Tianpu realized that there seemed to be some changes in the revolving restaurant, a rather positive change!

After saying goodbye to the merchant representative who invited the guest, Fang Tianpu did not leave the restaurant, but found Sima Liang.

"Sima, did you get any good ingredients in the restaurant?" After meeting Sima Liang, Fang Tianpu got straight to the point!

Fang Tianpu and Sima Liang have also been friends for many years, they once studied art at the same chef school, but one learned Chinese food and the other learned Western food. Over the past 20 years, the closer the relationship between the two people, the more secretive they will naturally be.

"I knew you kid was going to come and ask!" Sima Liang smiled proudly and said, "I saw the shocked look on your face just now, these ingredients taste good, right?" ”

In the past three months, the business of the revolving restaurant has not been good or bad, although Sima Liang does not have much performance pressure, but the pride in his heart still makes him a little restless.

However, in the past few days, with the addition of various ingredients from 'Jinghu Agriculture', the quality of the revolving restaurant's dishes has been significantly improved, and customers have received rave reviews. Today, as a gourmet, Fang Tianpu is also attracted by these delicious ingredients, which proves the high quality of the products of 'Jinghu Agriculture' from another side.

"Eggs, mushrooms, vegetables and fruits, these ingredients are completely different from the usual ingredients, it seems that Sima you have found a good supplier!" As a gourmet, Fang Tianpu is naturally able to cramp and peel off the cocoon from many dishes and find the truth of the facts.

In the Haizhou food industry, Fang Tianpu's nickname is called 'Food Coroner', and from this name, you can know Fang Tianpu's usual style.

Based on his experience, it is natural to see that the chefs of revolving restaurants do not have a high leap in their cooking skills, and the success of the dishes is entirely dependent on the high quality of the ingredients.

"The coroner is the coroner, and you can see it at once!" Sima Liang nodded, took out a menu from the drawer, and said, "This is a newly made menu, and it hasn't been put outside yet, you can take a look!" ”

Fang Tianpu took over the menu, and there was a very interesting phenomenon, that is, there are many dishes that indicate that the ingredients come from such an institution as 'Jinghu Agricultural Products', and most of these labeled dishes use the ingredients they just eat.

"I see!" Fang Tianpu threw the menu back to Sima Liang and said, "It seems that this 'Jinghu Agricultural Products' has just started, and the product line is not rich enough!" ”

"'Mirror Lake Agriculture'"! Fang Tianpu said as he felt a little familiar, and said: "Could this 'Jinghu Agricultural Products' be the agricultural product seller who made a fuss in the "Haizhou Daily" some time ago?" ”

At this time, Fang Tianpu was very interested, and began to conduct a lot of research and testing with Sima Liang on the various ingredients of 'Jinghu Agriculture', and finally he introduced several new dishes of the revolving restaurant to the audience in his "Haizhou Cuisine" column, and said that the various ingredients of 'Jinghu Agriculture' are the key factors in the birth of food.

In this way, under the huge influence of Fang Tianpu, the fame of 'Jinghu Agriculture' in Haizhou's food circle has spread far and wide. More and more high-end restaurants have gradually accepted the products of 'Jinghu Agriculture' under the promotion of Benjamin's efforts, and have set 'Jinghu Agriculture' as their own ingredient suppliers.

When the calendar turned to June, Benjamin signed supply agreements with a total of 20 high-end restaurants, and the total price of ingredients and fruits supplied every day exceeded 2o, far exceeding the sales of the flagship store!

With the continuous spread of 'Jinghu Agricultural' products in Haizhou, a food storm caused by space ingredients has gradually taken shape, which has become a major event in Haizhou's food industry this summer! (To be continued......)
