Chapter 9 It's hard to buy ingredients when you have money
"Little Boss Tang, you can't talk nonsense, I, Feng Jiujin, have been doing business on Xianxia Road for decades, and your Tang restaurant has not yet opened, most of the restaurants here purchase ingredients from me, and who doesn't know that my Feng Jiujin's ingredients are the freshest on Xianxia Road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Feng Jiujin said that Tang Xingyuan knew that when his parents were alive in the past, they often said that Feng Jiujin's ingredients were the freshest and best quality among the Xianxia Road ingredient suppliers, so he didn't check the ingredients from Feng Jiujin very carefully before, just out of trust in him.
But now the ingredients that Feng Jiujin provided to him are indeed not fresh, although there is not much difference in appearance, but as long as you look carefully, you can still tell it.
Tang Xingyuan randomly picked out an eggplant from the ingredients sold to him by Feng Jiu Jingang and said: "Eggplant is best for its skin color to be dark purple and bright, lustrous and fresh, full of moisture, and the eggplant stem is straight. Although the color of your eggplant is strong purple, the color is not bright, and if you look closely, you can find that there are a lot of brown spots on the eggplant skin, and the eggplant stalk has also dried up, which is obviously a frosted eggplant. β
Feng Jiujin, who has been in the food ingredients business for decades, of course knows the quality of the ingredients, but the inferior ingredients he chooses are not obvious in appearance, Tang Xingyuan will not carefully inspect the ingredients when he comes to purchase them before, so he will not find out easily, but he did not expect him to observe so carefully today.
"It's just an accident, maybe because the business was too busy to accidentally look away, I'll change it for you."
Tang Xingyuan's face was ugly: "An accident to look away? Boss Feng, do you need me to take out this basket of ingredients one by one and tell you? β
Seeing that someone had already noticed the movement here, Feng Jiujin hurriedly whispered: "Little Boss Tang, I'm really sorry, otherwise, I'll return all the money to you, and you can buy ingredients elsewhere." β
Tang Xingyuan frowned: "What does Boss Feng mean by this?" β
He just wanted to buy fresh ingredients, not to return the money, and it seemed that Feng Jiujin didn't want to do his own business at all.
Feng Jiujin whispered with a bitter face: "Little Boss Tang, don't embarrass me, the ingredients here are all like this, if you are not satisfied, you should buy them elsewhere." β
"What are these words! It's true that the ingredients you sold me before were all like this! β
Seeing that Tang Xingyuan's angry voice attracted a lot of people's attention, Feng Jiujin hurriedly lowered his voice and begged for mercy: "It's me who is not good, Boss Tang is quiet, I will also return the money for the previous ingredients to you, do you think it?" β
Feng Jiujin's attitude made Tang Xingyuan even more puzzled, and pointed to a pair of ingredients next to him and said, "These ingredients are obviously fresh ingredients, why would Boss Feng rather return the money than sell me fresh ingredients?" β
"This ...... This ......"
Seeing Feng Jiujin swallowing and snorting, Tang Xingyuan snorted coldly: "Our Tang restaurant is not short of such a little food money, if Boss Feng doesn't make it clear, I will let other people come over to comment on it, what does Boss Feng mean by deliberately selling these inferior ingredients!" β
Feng Jiujin hurriedly grabbed Tang Xingyuan, who was about to shout, Xianxia Road was not the only one Feng Jiujin was an ingredient supplier, and he didn't want to ruin the good reputation he had saved for decades.
"What, Ken said that?"
Feng Jiujin smiled bitterly: "Actually, this is all ordered by Boss Wang of Dingfeng Restaurant, you also know that Dingfeng Restaurant is the largest restaurant on Xianxia Road, and it is a big customer of our food suppliers, and I ...... what he ordered."
Wang Fatty! It turned out to be him. A trace of anger flashed in Tang Xingyuan's eyes, and he had already figured out the reason.
"Humph! In the past, our Tang Restaurant also took care of Boss Feng's business, and Boss Feng seemed too unkind to do this. β
"It's not good for me, I'm willing to refund all the money that Boss Tang used to buy ingredients, but please don't embarrass me as a small food vendor, please go to other places to buy ingredients in the future."
Having said that, Tang Xingyuan already understood that it was impossible for Feng Jiujin to offend Wang Fatzi for himself, and the reason why he was polite to himself now was that he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, after all, the basket of inferior vegetables he had just sold to himself was still in front of him.
Businessmen pursue profits, Feng Jiujin in order to hug the thighs of Dingfeng Restaurant and not do his own business, Tang Xingyuan has no choice, he can't buy and sell forcibly, so he accepted the returned food money and left the food market.
The other ingredient merchants on Xianxia Road don't need to go to see it, they must have also been instructed by Wang Fatzi.
Although there is still a lot of fish in the warehouse, Tang's restaurants can't just sell fish, and these rare ingredients are not affordable for everyone, so you still need to purchase some ordinary ingredients.
"Let's think of something else."
When I returned to the restaurant, I saw Zhang Qiuyan pushing a cart and preparing to go out.
"Sister Zhang, are you going to buy ingredients?"
Zhang Qiuyan saw that it was Tang Xingyuan and smiled: "Yes, the business of the restaurant is better today, I am afraid that there will not be enough ingredients at night, so I will go to the market to buy some more." β
The ingredients purchased on the day are the freshest, so restaurants and restaurants usually don't stock up too many ingredients.
"That, Sister Zhang, can you help me bring some ingredients back when you go?"
"Do you have something to do in the afternoon?" Zhang Qiuyan wondered.
"It's fine."
"Then you can go with me, I can teach you how to choose ingredients." Zhang Qiuyan thought that if Tang Xingyuan didn't deliberately buy low-priced ingredients, it would be that he wouldn't choose ingredients, and it would be good to have the opportunity to teach him.
"I, I'm not going." Tang Xingyuan thought about it and told Zhang Qiuyan about the previous incident.
After listening to Tang Xingyuan's brief description, Zhang Qiuyan suddenly said angrily: "It's too much, no wonder many guests said that the ingredients in Tang's restaurant were not fresh, it turned out to be the ghost of Wang Fatzi!" Let's go, you go over with Sister Zhang, I want to see if Feng Jiujin thinks that he is the only ingredient supplier in the entire Xianxia Road! β
Tang Xingyuan shook his head.
"Forget it, Dingfeng Restaurant is a big customer of those food suppliers, it is normal for Feng Jiujin not to dare to offend Wang Fatzi, Wang Fatzi asked them to do this is nothing more than taking a fancy to Tang's Restaurant, Sister Zhang will definitely not deliberately make things difficult when she goes to purchase ingredients, so please ask Sister Zhang to help me bring some ingredients back."
Zhang Qiuyan sighed helplessly when she thought of the status of Dingfeng Restaurant on Xianxia Road, compared to Dingfeng Restaurant, her jade food restaurant was nothing at all, and only the previous Tang restaurant could be compared with Dingfeng Restaurant.
"Okay then, write me what ingredients you need, and I'll bring them back to you when I get back."
Tang Xingyuan said happily: "Thank you, Sister Zhang." β
"Thanks for what." Zhang Qiuyan sighed, "If the Tang Restaurant can restore its former glory, Feng Jiujin, where would they still listen to Wang Fatzi's words and do this." β
"Tang's Restaurant will definitely be even more brilliant than before!" Tang Xingyuan's eyes were full of determination.
Two days left before you can hunt again!
