Chapter 42: Amazing Leafy Vegetables
Liu Yuebing on the other end of the phone did not hesitate at all, and immediately said loudly: "You still need to ask!" Since it's a new variety you've launched, of course I'd like to see it! ”
In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Yuebing attaches so much importance to Li Yuan, and after he pushed those tomatoes to the table last time, he was immediately praised by customers. Although the price of this tomato is not cheap, many customers will order another or even two servings after tasting the taste of the tomato, and they will eat it all with great taste. There are also many people who come to Xinghualou for dinner the next day, in order to taste the first-class tomatoes again.
In this case, the fifty catties of tomatoes that Liu Yuebing bought were quickly sold out. So much so that many customers felt very regretful, until a few days later more than half a month later, someone came to ask when Xinghualou would be able to launch the same dish.
It is precisely because of the good reputation of tomatoes before that Liu Yuebing values Li Yuan more and more. When I heard that he had launched a new variety of vegetables, I said I wanted to see it without thinking about it.
Since Liu Yuebing agreed, Li Yuan was not ambiguous and immediately began to get busy. He collected fifty catties of each of the three kinds of leafy vegetables, loaded them on a tricycle and rushed to Xinghualou.
Since opening the peach pit space, Li Yuan has been staying in it for a while every night. The inscription on the jade tablet is indeed right, the peach pit space is very good for animals and plants, so Li Yuan has also become stronger and stronger, and he has ridden the three wheels fast along the way, but he does not feel the slightest difficulty.
The tricycle easily overtakes many electric vehicles and then quickly leaves them far behind, leaving many electric vehicle owners stunned. In fact, they didn't know that it was such a fast speed, but in fact, Li Yuan was still holding back. He was worried that if he tried his best, the tricycle would not hold on, and it was likely that he would not be able to ride far before it fell apart.
But even so, it took Li Yuan less than forty-five minutes to come to the back door of Xinghua Building. He stopped the car and wiped his sweat, then called Liu Yuebing and told him that he had arrived.
Liu Yuebing soon came out to greet Li Yuan in person, and as soon as he walked out of Xinghualou, he said with a smile on his face: "Ha, you came really fast!" ”
"It's a hot day, and I'm afraid that the food won't be fresh after a long time on the road." Li Yuan also smiled and said to Liu Yuebing: "All the dishes are put away after making a phone call with you, and they are guaranteed to be absolutely fresh." ”
Li Yuan's attitude towards vegetables also made Liu Yuebing very satisfied, and said to him with a smile: "With your attitude, sooner or later you will be able to make the business bigger." Come, let me see the vegetables you sent. ”
Li Yuan was also unambiguous, and pulled open the shade net on the tricycle to let Liu Yuebing see the vegetables that had just been harvested on the car.
When Liu Yuebing saw these vegetables for the first time, he immediately couldn't take his eyes off them. He walked to the tricycle in three steps and two steps, and looked closely at the vegetables, as if an archaeologist were admiring a precious artifact.
Liu Yuebing first picked up a cabbage and looked at it carefully, then looked at the spinach in another basket, and finally looked at the lettuce that was very bright, but he kept sighing, but he didn't even say a word.
Of course, Li Yuan knew that Liu Yuebing was not dissatisfied with these vegetables, but because they were selling too well. So Li Yuan didn't bother Liu Yuebing, just stood next to him with a smile on his face, waiting patiently for him to come back to his senses.
After a long while, Liu Yuebing took a deep breath and said to Li Yuan with emotion: "Xiao Li, let's not talk about the taste of this vegetable, just this appearance is enough for you to gain a foothold in the catering industry." ”
The more at this time, Li Yuan became more modest, and smiled very low-key: "Brother Liu, it's too exaggerated for you to say this, I want to blush." ”
"No exaggeration, no exaggeration at all!" Liu Yuebing said seriously: "I have been a chef for decades, and I have never seen such a good-looking vegetable. I was thinking, it's a shame that these vegetables are used for stir-frying, so that they should be made into cold pots so that customers can enjoy these vegetables as well. ”
For Li Yuan, it doesn't matter how Liu Yuebing makes these vegetables, as long as he feels good and willing to buy them, it will be enough. So Li Yuan didn't express any opinion on Liu Yuebing's words, but just smiled faintly and said: "Brother Liu, in fact, these vegetables taste good, do you want to make a few dishes to try?" ”
"Of course!" Liu Yuebing naturally did not object, and then said to Li Yuan: "Xiao Li, I want all these vegetables, you can quote a price." ”
Li Yuan had already taken this into account on the way here, and said to Liu Yuebing with a smile: "Cabbage is three yuan a catty, spinach is four yuan, and lettuce is also four yuan." ”
It is summer now, and it is also the season for leafy vegetables to be marketed, and the price quoted by Li Yuan is not cheap. After all, his vegetables are not certified organic, and they can only be sold as ordinary vegetables, which is much higher than the price in the vegetable market.
However, Liu Yuebing did not hesitate at all, and immediately said that he had all the vegetables, and called someone to come out and move all the baskets of vegetables in.
And last time Li Yuan came to deliver tomatoes, Li Yuan moved in by himself. It can be seen from only such a detail that Liu Yuebing is paying more and more attention to Li Yuan.
After buying the vegetables sent by Li Yuan, Liu Yuebing made a few dishes with these leafy vegetables on the spot. These dishes are both cold and hot, and it can be seen that Liu Yuebing has begun to explore how to better highlight the characteristics of these vegetables.
However, when Liu Yuebing, who was still entangled in the appearance of the dishes, tasted these dishes, his original frowning brows were completely relaxed, and he gave a thumbs up to Li Yuan and said: "Xiao Li, these dishes are indeed as you said, they are full of color, flavor and flavor!" Heck, I don't have to worry about how to keep them looking like now, even if it's just the taste, it's enough to make these vegetables a hit! ”
In fact, Liu Yuebing is just talking about it, and he will definitely not only pay attention to taste and not care about appearance. After all, in Chinese culture, the highest praise for a dish is "color, flavor, and flavor", which refers to the appearance of the dish, and it is ranked before "taste". As a well-known chef, Liu Yuebing certainly does not ignore the appearance of the dishes.
Of course, Li Yuan also knew this, and said to Liu Yuebing with a smile: "It's good that this vegetable didn't disappoint you, if you need it, as long as there is a stock, I will send some over." ”
"A must!" Liu Yuebing said happily: "As long as there is a regular supply of vegetables like this in the future, I believe that Xinghualou's business can be better!" ”
Before Li Yuan could speak, he heard a voice coming from outside the kitchen: "Yo, Liu Yuebing, your tone is getting louder and louder, Xinghualou's business is already so prosperous, can you really make it better?!" ”
