Chapter 35: The Food Alliance?

Like this kind of place that is ushered in every day, you can always meet all kinds of people, and it is easiest to experience the various states of life, and for those who have a heart, this is actually a kind of joy of life.

Open the door to welcome guests from all over the world, sit down to taste the sweet and sour life, the flowing water is the diner, the same is delicious, you can always meet different people and different things, and feel a lot.

Liu Zhihui is like this, the little girl who is lost, and the old grandmother is the same, Zhang Yao likes this feeling, but after all, the store is just a foil, and he is still busy in the fields most of the time.

All the vegetables are thriving, the aura in the small basket is getting stronger and stronger, and the water source in the spring is also growing day by day, and the area covered by the spring has entered the best state.

Standing in the field, the feeling of being in nature is getting stronger and stronger, animals are most sensitive to this change, all kinds of birds and animals are also coming over, and the ecology is already improving.

The most important thing in the countryside is labor, Zhang Yao invited a few people to come to help weed, they are no longer surprised by this scene, as early as Zhang Yao has seen it when he first planted vegetables, and now it is just a larger scale.

The eight acres of land facing outside have also been renovated, but because the coverage area of the Dragon Ball is not enough, Liu Zhihui's heart-warming proposal cannot be implemented.

Zhang Yao walked in the field with a straw hat, bragging with the aunts and aunts who came to help, picking up some weeds and broken leaves to feed the chickens.

The number of a hundred chickens is not a lot, if he didn't keep them all together, it would be really difficult to find out, and when he noticed the abnormality, there were five fewer in the column near the water source.

It is impossible for the chicks to be stolen, Zhang Yao checked it carefully, only to find that the upper and lower barbed wire fences have been broken, and it should be some animal that got in and ate the chicks.

All kinds of birds and beasts were attracted by the aura gathered by the dragon balls, and as a result, they even ate the chickens he raised, and Zhang Yao always had the feeling of lifting a stone to hit his own feet.

It was not too late to make amends, Zhang Yao checked all the barbed wire, and there were more than one holes, so he had to use tools to patch these places, so as not to lose chickens again.

At this time, his classic "Big Windmill" ringtone rang again, and he didn't look at it, and directly picked up the phone and pressed the speakerphone, "Hey" while continuing to patch the loophole.

The phone was called by her mother Li Yue, and after connecting, she first asked, "Ah Yao, are you in the field?" ”

"Hmm. I asked Aunt Pu to help with weeding, and now I am mending the barbed wire, I don't know what scratched it. Mom, what's the matter? ”

"You don't have anything to do, a few people came to the store today, saying that they are from the Food Alliance and want to invite us to join, you can see what's going on."

Food Alliance? Is this thing still there? Zhang Yao hadn't heard of it before, probably because of snacks and restaurants, which were formed for group warmth, and there were many similar organizations.

In this case, it seems that it is not bad to join, Zhang Yao said: "Mom, you and my dad can decide." If there is a benefit, then you must participate, there is no benefit and no harm, and it does not affect anything, and you can still join. ”

"The question is what membership fees do they charge, and the asking price is quite high."

Do you also want a membership fee? There is no benefit, first of all, you have to bloodlet, add a ghost, "Mom, that's just a direct refusal, I feel like this so-called food alliance is here to suck blood." ”

Li Yue said: "Your father has already refused, but their tone is not good, and they said that let's think about it carefully, and we will come back in the afternoon, so you should come and take a look." ”

Li Yue said that the other party's tone was not good, and it was estimated that he made a direct threat, Zhang Yao couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and said, "Okay, I'll come over immediately, if their people arrive first, you let them wait for me." ”

After repairing all the holes and filling them with water, Zhang Yao rode a three-wheeled motorcycle into the city. The people he asked for help were all people with good connections in the village, and there was no need to supervise the work at all.

Now that the wages have not been paid, these aunts are also not worried, and even the bosses who come to rent land to grow vegetables from other places have never defaulted on these payments, let alone Zhang Yao.

When he entered the city and came to the store, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and three people in suits were already sitting in the store, and a black Audi A6 was parked at the door, directly on the sidewalk, blocking half of the store.

Zhang Yao parked the three-wheeled motorcycle and entered the door, and his father Zhang Guojian said: "This is my son, he has the final say in everything here, you can talk to him." ”

There are actually many organizations such as industry alliances and associations, and they are basically benign, Zhang Yao originally thought that this food alliance was the same, but it turned out to be a mistake.

Li Yue's words had already made him suspicious of this food alliance, and now he didn't have a good impression of people at all, if it was really mutual assistance and mutual benefit, it was impossible to look like a grand person.

They also parked their cars on the sidewalk, directly blocking half of the store's doors, in addition to their own lack of quality, but the fear of coming to the demonstration also accounted for a large part of the reason.

So Zhang Yao was not polite, sat on the stool opposite, and said, "What to talk about, let's talk about it." ”

The leader said: "I have already introduced it to your parents, my name is Sun Feng, I am the secretary general of the Qingxi Food Alliance, and I am also the owner of the Wind and Rain Forest in Harbor City." ”

Harbour City is the most famous snack street in Qingxi, and it also has a certain reputation in other provinces, and the name Wind and Rain Forest does not sound like a snack, but it is also famous in Qingxi.

"This is Song Qingrong, the owner of Rongjiu Snacks, and Qian Hai, the boss of a bowl of the world, are all directors of the Food Alliance. Today we are here to talk about your membership, since your parents can't be the master, then let's talk. ”

There are countless snack bars of all sizes in Qingxi, and the most famous and high-end ones are gathered in Harbour City, which is almost a must-visit place for tourists from other places.

Zhang Yao said: "The three of them are all well-known big bosses in Harbour City, and the rent of a light shop of your level is millions every year, and we can't compare with you in terms of scale, but being able to deign to come here really makes the small shop shine." ”

He was obviously mocking, but the three guys didn't hear it, and they all had an expression of "You understand that this is just for your face", and Zhang Yao continued: "So I don't understand, why does an alliance of tall people like you still fall in love with a small shop like me?" ”

Song Qingrong said: "The purpose of our original establishment of the Food Alliance is to promote the food culture of Qingxi, mainly to see whether the taste and craftsmanship can meet the requirements, and we don't care whether the store is big or small. ”

"Now there are hundreds of members in the Qingxi Food Alliance, and there are not a few of them of your size, such as Hongji Tofu and Wang's Cool Rice Noodles on the pedestrian street."

Zhang Yao of Nancheng Pedestrian Street has been selling fried potatoes for more than a month, and he still knows the situation over there very well, but it doesn't matter how many members there are in this food alliance, whether others join or not, how to think about it has nothing to do with him, he can only think about himself.

He nodded and said, "It sounds like you're quite tolerant, so I'll just say it bluntly, why should I join, and what benefits can you bring me?" ”

Sun Feng said: "If you join, this store can get our certification, the food alliance has almost covered the entire catering industry in Qingxi, certification represents security, you should understand such a simple truth." ”

"That's just one of them." Qian Hai raised his fingers and said: "Becoming a member can also get all kinds of help from the alliance, and you are qualified to participate in various activities held in a hurry. ”

There are many so-called benefits, but the result is not specifically mentioned at all, Zhang Yao snorted in his heart, knocked on the table and said: "Since you can enjoy so many benefits, there must be corresponding obligations to become a member, right?" ”

Sun Feng nodded and said, "Of course, no matter what the rights and obligations are, joining the Food Alliance first needs to pay a membership fee, after all, it takes money to manage the Alliance, arrange activities, etc., I think you can understand." ”

"Then, the original utensils and food raw materials in the membership store have to be purchased from suppliers recognized by the alliance, which is also for food safety considerations.

"In addition, in order to promote the development of Qingxi snacks, each member has the obligation to help others improve the quality of food, which is also based on the principle of mutual help.

The benefits are very vague, but there are a lot of obligations and requirements, Zhang Yao finally understood, they are here to control the market, the so-called raw material suppliers who are hurriedly identified are not formulated by them, who believes that there is no cat?

What do you say about helping each other, it is directly staring at their "secret recipe", Zhang Yao doesn't believe that their purpose of inviting them to join the club will be so noble, but he is afraid that the reputation of his family has spread, so he is targeted.

"Doesn't that seem like a cheap membership fee?" Zhang Yao said lightly and stood up.

"The current entrance fee is 100,000 yuan, which is already very cheap......," Qian Hai said directly.

"Shouldn't I do something with these 100,000?" Zhang Yao didn't bother to talk to them anymore, and said, "I'm sorry, we are not interested in joining the club, please leave." By the way, the speed moved the car away, and it was already stopping us from doing business. ”

Zhang Yao directly expelled customers, for this kind of ill-intentioned person, there is no need to give a good face at all.
