Zhou Hongda watched his son and grandfather learn the craft with a smile, and did not disturb them. Although Mr. Zhou has passed the hotel to Zhou Hongda, he is still the head chef of the hotel, and he also serves as the hotel's culinary consultant, and he will come to train the chef every once in a while. The chefs of the hotel can be said to be the apprentices and grandchildren of the old man, even Zhou Hongda did not dare to interrupt his father's teaching.

Although the old man Zhou Ruixuan has passed the age of antiquity, his eyes are not dazzled and his ears are not deaf. He had already seen his son enter the back kitchen, but he didn't pay attention to his son, and he didn't talk to Zhou Hongda until he finished the class.

"Hongda! Looking for me? ”

"Dad, I went to the market just now to buy a few peaches, they look like new varieties, and I want you to taste them." Zhou Hongda had already sent the doorman away, and personally carried the peach and waited for his father to get out of class.

"Dad, you're going to buy delicious food again. I'm going to try it too. ”

When Zhou Xin heard that he was going to have a tasting meeting, he suddenly came to his senses. may be a family genetic relationship, Zhou Xin, who just graduated from high school, is also a food lover. Of course, this is a nice saying, and it should be called a foodie in layman's terms. As soon as I looked at his round face and fleshy belly, I knew that I usually ate good things.

"Good! Let's go together and keep them busy first. Zhou Ruixuan patted his grandson on the back, paced out of the back kitchen, and left the kitchen to the other chefs.

The chefs all know that tasting will be a tradition of the Zhou family, and usually only new dishes approved by the three generations of the Zhou family can be put on the hotel table. However, since it is a tasting, there are naturally good and bad, and not every new dish is good, so other chefs don't have to be curious.

The three of them left the back kitchen and entered the private room, and Zhou Hongda put the eight big peaches neatly on the big round table, and the whole table was full.

"Wow~ What a big peach! I'll go wash. Zhou Xin drooled as soon as he saw the big peach, and he picked up one and was about to wash it.

"Wait! Xinxin, have you forgotten something? Zhou Ruixuan stopped his grandson and asked.

"One look, two smells, three tastes, all the color, fragrance and taste." Zhou Xin stood still and replied.

"That's right! The same is true for the food, and the same is true for the ingredients. If you wash the peaches, you will wash away many details, and you won't be able to look carefully. That's why your dad didn't wash the peaches after waiting so long. ”

Zhou Ruixuan did not forget to teach his grandson at any time, Zhou Xin's understanding is indeed good, and it can be seen from his answer that he already knows what he did wrong.

"Grandpa, I see."

"So what do you see? What do you smell again? Old Man Zhou continued to take the school entrance examination for his grandson, and Zhou Hongda watched happily from the sidelines.

Zhou Xin held the peach and looked at it for a moment, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then replied: "This peach is round in shape, the top of the fruit is slightly convex, the suture line is shallow, the sides are symmetrical, the fruit shape is handsome, and there are very few hairs. The fruit color powder is translucent red, the taste is sweet and rich, and you don't need to eat it to know that it is the best. ”

"Hehe~ good! Not bad! It's just that there's still a little bit of fire. These eight peaches are placed on the table, and the whole room has the fragrance of peaches, do you still need to smell them? Let's go wash the peaches. Zhou Ruixuan nodded with satisfaction, and then let his grandson go.

"Hongda, where did you buy this peach?" Old man Zhou saw his grandson happily out of the house, so he turned around and asked his son.

"Right in front of the Long Street Market. Coincidentally, the young man selling peaches was supposed to deliver to the market, but I stopped him and bought the eight peaches at wholesale prices. Dad, is this peach really as good as Xinxin said? Zhou Hongda also knew that this peach was good, but when he was in school, he was catching up with the ten-year catastrophe, and his knowledge was not as good as his son, so he couldn't say so many ways.

"You kid! Perception is not as good as Xinxin, but luck. It's amazing that such a good peach can make you bump into it. According to the quality of this peach, it has caught up with the tribute of the year. I've never seen such a good peach in my life, and I've heard your grandfather talk about it. Zhou Ruixuan's eyes were a little fluttering when he spoke, as if he had fallen into memory.

"No, it won't! Didn't you go to the Peach King Tournament in Momosen City two years ago? It seems that the peach king is not small. Zhou Hongda didn't expect the old man to speak so highly of this peach.

"Hmph~ It's not small, but it's not fragrant at all. It's all fertilizer-driven, so it's better to eat radishes. Peaches eat nine ripe, now in order to preserve and transport, seven ripe down the tree into cold storage, that can be delicious? Let me tell you, you don't need to eat this peach, you know it's a good thing when you smell it. How much did you spend on it? "Old Man Zhou was angry when he mentioned the peach king, what's the use of just a big one, the watermelon is bigger, does it taste like a peach?

"According to you, I've picked up a big bargain. These eight peaches are fifty-one, and a total of four hundred pieces were spent. By the way, there's five dollars for plastic bags. After Zhou Hongda finished speaking, he spared, not that he cared about the five yuan, it was purely to tease the old man.

"Shit luck! You bought this peach for 4,000 and earned it back. Zhou Ruixuan glared at his son angrily, he didn't run the market less, why didn't he check this kind of leakage.

"Grandpa, can this peach be worth four thousand yuan?"

Zhou Xin entered the private room with the washed peaches in his arms, and happened to hear his grandfather talking. Although 4,000 yuan is not too much in Zhou Xin's concept, but spending 4,000 yuan to buy peaches, he, the rich second generation, feels that it is not worth it.

"Xinxin, your talent for cooking is stronger than your father's, but you still have to learn from your father this way of management. Let your dad tell you how this peach can be sold for 4,000 yuan. "Old man Zhou has nothing to say about his cooking skills, but when it comes to business and connections, he also thinks that he is not as good as his son.

"Dad, can we talk about it later? Eat the peaches first and see if they are really worth 4,000 yuan. ”

Zhou Hongda said and took the big peach in his son's hand and put it on the table, and carefully divided it into eight petals with a dining knife. Generally speaking, fruits with a core in the middle are not easy to cut, but Zhou Hongda cut them very evenly, and the size of the eight-petal peach is the same as that measured with a caliper, which shows that his knife work is exquisite.

The cut peaches were gently broken and immediately separated from the core, and a more intense peach fragrance spread throughout the room.

"Grandpa, you eat first!" Zhou Xin swallowed his saliva when he smelled the peach fragrance, although the gluttonous worm had been hooked, but his grandfather was embarrassed to swallow him if he didn't eat it first.

"Let's eat together!" Zhou Ruixuan heard that his grandson was urging him, so he picked up a piece of peach and put it in his mouth. The sweet juice overflowed his mouth all at once, making Old Man Zhou feel very satisfied, he had never eaten such a good peach for many years.

"Dad, this peach is delicious, I have nothing to say. But isn't it an exaggeration to sell for 4,000 yuan? Zhou Xin opened the bow left and right, picked up two pieces of peach and stuffed them into his mouth. He had to admit that it was the best peach he had ever tasted, but he still didn't think it could sell for that much price.

Zhou Hongda himself also tasted a peach, it is indeed extremely sweet, and no one on the market can have such a strong peach flavor. Hearing his son ask about the business, he patiently guided: "Xinxin, have you ever seen such a big peach?" ”

"Nope!" Zhou Xin shook his head.

"Have you ever eaten such a sweet peach?"

Zhou Xin still shook his head.

"Are there many guests who come to our hotel to celebrate their birthday?"

"That's a lot!" This time Zhou Xin nodded.

"If the birthday banquet consumes more than 100,000 guests, and we all send such a birthday peach to the birthday star, what do you say?"

"It's not going to be good. From the time of the customer's consumption, if you don't send a peach, you will spend 100,000 yuan to entertain you. If you can't afford it, it's useless to send ten peaches. No one will pay tens of thousands more for a peach to raise the level of the banquet. ”

Zhou Xin is not brainless, he also has his own ideas, so naturally he will not completely follow his father's train of thought.

"Haha~" Old Man Zhou couldn't help laughing when he saw his son eating in front of his grandson.

Zhou Hongda himself laughed and said, "You are very right. No one will spend 100,000 yuan for a peach. But what will those guests who eat peaches think? First of all, they will be happy, they will be satisfied with the service of the hotel, and they will tell others how big the peach is and how delicious it is, which is equivalent to giving our hotel a free advertisement. And the relatives and friends they invite are basically the same consumption level, as long as a few of them are affected by the advertisement and choose to hold a birthday party in our hotel, the peach money will be earned. ”

Zhou Xin listened to his father's explanation and nodded again and again, it seemed that he was still a little younger than his father, and he thought about the problem too directly.

"HTC is right! However, in order to achieve this effect, the first is to ensure the scarcity of this longevity peach, so that it can have a sense of freshness and is worth talking about. The second is to ensure that it can be supplied at any time, otherwise this guest will send it, and that guest will not send it, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among guests. I think this peach can be launched as a new dish. Hongda, you will keep an eye on the market in the past two days and have a comprehensive understanding of the sales, listing time and purchase channels of this peach. Contact the young man who sells peaches again to see if he can supply it for a long time, the price of fifty-one should already be very low, do you leave his contact number? ”

Zhou Ruixuan made a decision on the spot and added Shou Tao to the new menu. Even if the longevity peach cannot be supplied for a long time due to seasonal restrictions and cannot be marketed on birthdays, it can be developed into a special fruit plate and sold for ten times the price.

"Stay, that young man's name is Zhong Huan, he is very real, and the chengguan is still waiting for me. I'll contact him when I'm free. ”

Zhou Hongda was very impressed by Zhong Huan. He thinks that his sons Zhou Xin and Zhong Huan should be about the same age, but one of these two children is white and fat, and the other is black and thin and running around for a living, which is really a bit big. Zhou Hongda is very willing to help Zhong Huan under win-win conditions and promote this junior who values integrity.

"My sword, where to go, love and hate are hard to love. My knife cuts through the sky, and I don't understand right and wrong......"

Zhong Huan returned home and returned the tricycle after purchasing from the Long Street Market, and was just about to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu to sort out his harvest, when the mobile phone rang.

"Hey~ Peng Lei, you kid misses me so soon." Zhong Huan picked up the phone and picked it up as soon as he saw that it was Peng Lei.

Zhong Huan...... I'm out of love! Now I'm in the city...... I don't want to go home...... I don't want to see my sister either. Can you have some wine with me? Peng Lei's voice was low and hoarse, and he was intermittent.
