【Chapter 026】 Cooperation intention
Zheng Dahai is the executive chef of a hotel, and the company is preparing to open a new restaurant recently, which is originally a good thing, but the procurement of raw materials is a headache for Zheng Dahai.
In the past two years, with the completion and opening of expressways and electrified railways, the small county town of Qingshan has been full of vitality and has become the focus of attention. In particular, after the discovery of a large number of non-ferrous metal deposits in the mountainous area in the northern part of Qingshan, the entire county has become a restless world.
In just a few months, local mine owners, businessmen from other places who came to build factories, civil servants who ate and drank at public expense, 、......, all kinds of people greatly stimulated the food market in Qingshan County, as evidenced by the restaurants that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The theme of the restaurant is pure natural green and healthy food, and the potential customers are the rich and nouveau riche who like to be elegant and have a need for a healthy diet.
However, as the restaurant opened, the purchase of raw materials was at an impasse.
In Qingshan County, there was no concept of green food in the past, and all hotels and restaurants bought ingredients in the vegetable market, but with the change of the situation, everything is slowly changing.
As the company's executive chef, Zheng Dahai tasted the samples purchased by the purchasing staff, but he was still not satisfied. Those things are not too much fertilizer or pesticides, but the taste is out of shape, and they are produced by smallholder farmers, and the yield is unstable, and they cannot be used as suppliers to restaurants.
The boss of the company and Zheng Dahai have never thought of deception and confusion, although this can be opportunistic and reduce costs, but it has buried hidden dangers for the company's future development.
Zheng Dahai, who was at a loss, could only give up the idea of purchasing locally and reducing costs, and decided to purchase the ingredients needed for the restaurant from the green agriculture demonstration area in the provincial capital. However, if you think about the 400-kilometer highway from the provincial capital to Qingshan County, the logistics and cost pressures will also rise sharply.
Recently, he has been so busy that he has not gone home for dinner for almost a week, and after the matter was preliminarily settled, Zheng Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and decided to go home tonight to accompany his parents and family for dinner.
As soon as he entered the house, Zheng Dahai smelled a strong fragrance wafting in the living room, the smell of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
With a sniff, Zheng Dahai suddenly noticed that these fragrances were a little different from the previous taste, and there seemed to be a very refreshing feeling.
'When did my mother's cooking skills be better than the chefs in the restaurant?' With doubts in his heart, Zheng Dahai made out with his four-year-old son, who he hadn't seen for a few days.
When eating at the table, Zheng Dahai can feel the deliciousness of the dishes even more, even if he has traveled from south to north and eaten many good restaurants, he has never seen such deliciousness.
"Mom, if you don't come back for dinner for a few days, your cooking skills have soared!" While stuffing a cucumber into his mouth, Zheng Dahai said vaguely.
"How can I grow up in cooking? It's just that the dishes I bought back in the last few days are a little good. Zheng Dahai's mother was the fat aunt who bought vegetables twice with Liu Rui, she smiled and sandwiched a piece of egg for her son, and said, "Don't you see that our baby is also eating vegetables?" ”
At this time, Zheng Dahai found that his son, who was originally a picky eater and did not eat vegetables, was eating a large handful of green vegetables, which surprised Zheng Dahai.
"Mom, where did you get this dish from?" After tasting it carefully, Zheng Dahai found that the taste of today's dishes was good, all supported by these delicious vegetables, and he naturally wanted to know the source of these dishes.
In addition to the deliciousness of ordinary food, these vegetables seem to have another very special taste, which makes people want to forget after tasting it, which makes Zheng Dahai very interested......
"I bought it at the bazaar, and a young man from Qingyun sold it when he was in the market, and he will come tomorrow." Aunt Zheng thought about it and told all the bits and pieces of information she got.
"Got it!" Now that he knew that he bought it back in the bazaar, Zheng Dahai had a plan.
The next day, Zheng Dahai did not go to the company, but followed Aunt Zheng to the bazaar and found Liu Rui, who was shopping for vegetables.
After standing next to him for a while, Zheng Dahai saw that more than 100 catties of vegetables brought by Liu Rui were looted, and only some stumps and leaves were left on the stall. After observation, Zheng Dahai found that the vegetables sold by Liu Rui were fresh and spiritual, faintly revealing a spiritual surname, which was very different from those vegetables that were ripened with chemical fertilizers.
"Wait a minute, young man!" Just as Liu Rui was packing up his things and preparing to leave, Aunt Zheng stopped him.
"Auntie, you called me?" Liu Rui saw that it was a familiar fat aunt, and then looked at Zheng Dahai beside her, which was a little strange.
"That's right, my son has something to tell you." Aunt Zheng didn't know why her son didn't go to work early in the morning, so she brought herself to the bazaar to find this young man who sold vegetables.
"That's right, contemptible Zheng Dahai, who works at the 'South Beauty' restaurant, wants to talk to you." Zheng Dahai took a step forward and took over the conversation.
"Talk to me?" Liu Rui's face was full of doubts, looking at Zheng Dahai's dress and temperament, he was not an ordinary person, how could he find himself in the vegetable market and say that he wanted to talk about things?
"Dahai, you talk slowly, Mom will go back first." Seeing her son and Liu Rui talking, Aunt Zheng also said goodbye and went home.
"Let's talk while walking" Zheng Dahai stretched out his hand and walked out of the vegetable market side by side with Liu Rui, after all, the vegetable market is stinking and sewage, so it is not a good place to talk.
"My name is Liu Rui, I don't know what Mr. Zheng is looking for me?" Liu Rui, who has stepped out of society, knows that when communicating with people, the title must slowly be in line with society.
"Our restaurant is preparing to open, and I found that your vegetables taste and look very good, and I want to sign a purchase contract with you." Zheng Dahai is not the kind of person who beats around the bush, and he just said his purpose.
"Purchase contract?" Liu Rui was a little confused, he didn't expect that a restaurant would find him to cooperate.
Liu Rui knew that after the space spring watered, the taste of vegetables became very good, but he didn't expect that someone would take a fancy to his own dishes so soon.
"You don't want to?" Seeing that Liu Rui's reaction seemed a little wrong, Zheng Dahai frowned and asked.
"Willing is willing, but my vegetable garden has just started to operate, the output is unstable, and I can't get the product when I sign the contract, so it's not ......" After the initial shock, Liu Rui quickly regained his composure and said carefully.
"Why don't I come to you and choose a way to cooperate?" After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Dahai still decided to go to Liu Rui's house for a field trip.
"Very welcome, then!" Hearing Zheng Dahai's words, Liu Rui also felt that this was the best.
So, the two took a passenger and cargo vehicle and went straight to Qingyun Wharf.
