This Sunday, the staff of the hotel chain arrived as scheduled, a group of five people, drove a small van to Xiaolushan. On both sides of the van body, there are stickers with "Mingyi Hotel" written in large characters, and there are some slogans and logos next to them, which are very conspicuous.

The weather was a little shady today, the clouds were very thick, and there was not the slightest sunshine, and it rained for a long time last night, so that the ground was wet and muddy after a while.

"Manager Pan, I'm sorry for you this trip." The car stopped under the big banyan tree, and Yunli also found Xu Ping to help receive him, and after the people in the car got down, Yunli greeted him, took the initiative to shake hands with a short and fat middle-aged man, and introduced himself and Xu Ping to others.

The man named Manager Pan was also very enthusiastic, and after greeting the two of them, he introduced them to Yunli: "This is my assistant Xiaolin, he is the one who talked to you on the phone before to make an appointment, you should be no stranger, these two are people from the purchasing department of our southwest headquarters, Zhao Bin and Zhao Xiaoyan, they are two father and daughter, this is Liu Fan, the star chef of our hotel, is very good at Chinese and Western food, has won many awards, many leaders and VIPs come to eat, and they have to order him to take charge." ”

Xiao Lin is a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, thin and small, with a pair of myopic glasses, a black briefcase in his hand, and he is very careful in his work, but he is a little shy. Zhao Bin and Zhao Xiaoyan's father and daughter are easy to recognize, their faces are similar, they are very round, their eyelids are very thick, their eyes are a little small, and they are even narrowed into a slit when they smile.

Chef Liu Fan is less than forty years old, very tall, not fat, but has a round beer belly, thick and powerful arms, at a glance you know that it has been trained after long-term exercise, and when shaking hands with Yunli, he also used considerable strength: "I heard that the boss here is a young man with a lot of ideas, I saw it when I was young, and then I have to see if the ingredients produced in you really have 'ideas', not because of the fact that you are young and handsome, and because of the background of a famous school, it is touted out." ”

"I used to rarely cook, but after farming here, I gradually began to learn to cook some dishes by myself, and now I can get a few tables to entertain people, and they all said it was good after eating, I began to think that my cooking skills had improved, and I was happy for a while, only to find out later that it wasn't what was going on, but the ingredients were good, so I just covered my few strokes, so don't count on me for lunch." In the face of Chef Liu Fan's questioning, Yunli fought back with a bend, and his words could not be aggressive, but he could clearly express his confidence in his products.

"Haha, then we'll wait and see, I haven't come back for a long time, and the environment in the township is still the same as before, and there are no major changes." Chef Liu Fan laughed and said with a smile, very hearty.

"Our Chef Liu used to be here, and this time I heard that we were coming, and I even delayed my vacation." Manager Pan explained with a smile. I have worked with Liu Fan for many years, and I know very well that he is a straight-hearted person, and sometimes he doesn't speak well, so I often have to help him play rounds.

"Is it from a nearby village, or from the town?" Hearing that Liu Fan was from here before, Xu Ping also asked curiously, Shanglu Village can be excluded, because there are not many things here that he doesn't know.

"It's the row of residential buildings on the west side of Luzhen Middle School, where my grandparents used to live in Xiachong Village, and then the whole family moved out and never had a chance to come back." Liu Fan pointed to the southeast of Dalu Mountain and explained to everyone.

"It turned out to be people there, and the row of old residential buildings has now been converted into warehouses, and it may not be long before they will be demolished and rebuilt, after all, the building is not young." Xu Ping said suddenly, and said the current situation of the residential building.

"When did Chef Liu move away, if you went to Luzhen Middle School, you should still remember Brother Chen." Yun Li also asked curiously.

"I only moved away in the third year of junior high school, and it's been more than 20 years, who is Brother Chen? I only remember that there was a teacher named Chen Manzhu, tall and thin, who could do anything, and at that time we liked to pester him the most, asking him to make some bamboo dragonflies, kites, and other things, I still remember it. Liu Fan said with a nostalgic face.

"It's such a coincidence, Teacher Chen is still teaching in Luzhen Middle School, maybe he still recognizes you." Xu Ping was surprised, not only him, Yunli also knew that Brother Chen's real name was Chen Manzhu, it was indeed easy to remember, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Haha, I wanted to come back for a walk, but I didn't expect there to be acquaintances, calculate the time, he is also in his sixties this year, wait and invite his old man, I have to get a good meal to honor his old man at noon." Hearing this news, Liu Fan was also a little excited, and said with a smile.

"Of course this is no problem, Mr. Chen is very familiar with Xiaoli, a call will come soon, and today happens to be Sunday, everyone can have a good get-together." Xu Ping immediately agreed.

"Then we will have a mouthful, Chef Liu has to be serious, and it is not often eaten in the hotel." Director Zhao Bin also smiled, looking forward to today's lunch.

"Okay, let's go and see the produce first, see that it may rain at any time this day." Manager Pan said, and everyone agreed, at this time, the assistant Xiaolin had already taken a bag of vinyl water shoes out of the van and put them on for everyone, it seems that they also came prepared, very professional.

After they all put on their shoes, Yunli first took them to the ten acres of melon and vegetable fields next to the bamboo building, and introduced them to the status of various crops one by one, and the objects of the explanation were mainly Director Zhao Bin and Chef Liu Fan, he knew very well that these two people were the key people of this inspection, and their opinions would be directly related to the success or failure of this cooperation.

"This purple eggplant is larger than the ordinary one, the branches and leaves are also very lush, the skin is bright and crisp, it seems that the fertilization is enough, but whether it will affect the taste, you have to taste it before you can draw conclusions." The first thing that attracted Zhao Bin was the purple and green eggplant field, he only flicked a few times with his fingers, and he could tell the condition of the eggplant was not bad, and his eyes were quite vicious.

"These tomatoes are the same, they are big, they are very uniform, and the color is very bright, not like they are grown in the open air, and they are no worse than those in greenhouses." Zhao Xiaoyan walked in the tomato field next to her, looked around and pinched, and said while holding a small notebook to record.

She also just graduated from college this year, and came to work at Mingyi Hotel, under his father Zhao Bin, starting from the most basic procurement. Although she studied management in college, she did not complain, diligent and studious, very serious in her work, and was unanimously recognized by everyone.

"This is the improved Dahong No. 1, the southwest side of the weather is cold and warm, not conducive to the growth of the fruit, so the Tongguò hybrid technology is still in the experimental stage, not every batch can grow so well, this batch is more fortunate to grow like this." Yun Li explained to them frankly, causing Zhao Bin to nod again and again.

Chef Liu Fan also observed very carefully, and from time to time he picked some vegetables and fruits and put them in a small cloth bag. Manager Pan and Xiaolin, although the profession is not in the field of agricultural products, but they are not idle, take out the camera to take some information, it seems that they are going to take it back for further evaluation, from here it can also be seen that Mingyi Hotel in the process of food procurement, there is no sloppiness at all, no wonder they can be so successful, branches all over the country.

Next, they took a look at the crops in the vegetable field, because the storage time of vegetables is limited, and the transportation process is more troublesome, so Yunli does not put too much effort into this, and the planting area is also very small, mainly to show the planting capacity of the manor.

"These snow peas are very rare, all the meat is full, the skin is crisp and tender, the meat tendons are still very few, go directly to the head and tail and tear it, you can get out of the pot, you don't need to try it to know that the taste must be very good, compared to the batch in the hotel now, it is much better." Liu Fan picked a few green snow peas in a scaffolding, played with them in his hand and looked at them again and again, before he came to a conclusion.

When Zhao Bin's father and daughter heard this, they also came up, and each took one to look through, and after a while, Zhao Bin asked: "If the fertilization is reasonable and sufficient, it is not difficult to be full, but the skin can grow so crisp and transparent, so it is very particular." Nutrients, sunlight, water, temperature and even air, without a sufficiently balanced and suitable environment, it is impossible to achieve this effect, even in the greenhouse, it is rare to meet them one by one, and it still needs a little luck. ”

Although he has never farmed the land, after so many years of engaging in the purchase of ingredients, Zhao Bin has already developed a pair of fiery eyes, knows every ingredient he has come into contact with, and can tell its growth characteristics one by one.

The conditions he said could not be achieved here at all, relying on the miraculous effect of electromagnetic force. When cultivating succulents in Jifang Garden, Yunli found that after some plants absorb a certain amount of electromagnetic force, they will enter the optimal growth mode, and he can even increase or decrease the amount of electromagnetic force to control the characteristics of the final product.

His neon jade dew, which Feng Yisong envied, was cultivated by this method, and it was just right to use it on this snow pea, so there was this batch of products that they were full of praise.

Ten acres of land is not very big, but the group of Mingyi Hotel has been very careful in their observation of each crop, and it took a lot of time, and Chef Liu Fan has gained a lot, the small cloth bag has been filled, I am afraid that even a small potato can not be stuffed into it.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Li took them to visit the three fields of cherry tomatoes, potatoes and corn one after another, and for their inspection, when the potatoes and corn were harvested before, Yun Li specially ordered to leave a small piece untouched to test them.
