Chapter 17: The First Pot of Gold

Zhong Huan didn't expect that the chubby Boss Zhou in front of him had a good sense of humor. Judging from the tone of his voice, it seems that he doesn't take the captain of the chengguan detachment seriously. It's just that Zhong Huan can't understand why such a big boss would wander around the Long Street Market alone and not even drive a car, which is too low-key.

"Boss Zhou, what kind of business are you doing? The captain of the chengguan doesn't dare to sit at the same table with you and drink, it's too good! Zhong Huan saw that Zhou Hongda was proud, so naturally he would not spoil him, and praised him, by the way, he asked him about his details, maybe it will be useful in the future.

"Have you heard of Hongda Hotel? I am Zhou Hongda. What is your name, young man? Do you have a phone? If I go back to eat this peach, I may order it from you for a long time. ”

Zhou Hongda likes to visit the market alone, not because he is low-key, but because he deliberately visits the market. The first is to pay attention to the price of vegetables, grains and oils, and see if there are any rebates for purchases. The second is to see if there are any new fruits and vegetables on the market.

Although the catering industry is not as fast as computers and mobile phones, the menu will lose its appeal to customers if it remains the same. A small restaurant that specializes in certain specialties may not have this problem, but once the hotel is large, it needs to be innovative. Even foreign fast food such as KFC and McDonald's have to launch new products regularly, not to mention a big restaurant. The main reason why Zhou Hongda bought peaches was because he had never seen this variety of big peaches in the market before, and he wanted to go back and try them.

"It turns out that you are the big boss of Hongda Hotel! Long admiration! Long admiration! My name is Zhong Huan and my phone number is ......"

When Zhong Huan heard that Boss Zhou in front of him was in the catering industry, he suddenly came to his senses. This is not only a big customer, but also an end consumer. Selling the same thing to the end consumer is definitely more profitable than selling it to an intermediate wholesaler. With Zhou Hongda's doorway, Jia Dafu can let it go first. And Zhong Huan found that even if he set up a stall directly, it was not unmarketable.

Zhou Hongda left Zhong Huan's phone number and then chatted with him for a few more words. Seeing that Lin Wenjing had been waiting beside him, he thought that Zhong Huan had asked the girl to have something else, so he took a taxi and left. More than a dozen pounds of peaches, he had to carry it back to the hotel, it was really choking.

Lin Wenjing didn't need to have anything to do with Zhou Hongda, she just stood quietly aside. At this time, seeing Zhou Hongda leaving, he spoke again: "Your name is Zhong Huan, and my name is Lin Wenjing." Where are we going to get peaches? ”

"How many do you want?" Zhong Huan said his name to Zhou Hongda just now, and it seems that Lin Wenjing also heard it.

"I want one. And I only have more than forty dollars on me, can you make it cheaper for me to help you say good things? ”

Lin Wenjing blushed a little when she spoke. As long as he has a peach, he not only has to bargain, but also trouble Zhong Huan to get it, which seems to be a bit excessive.

Zhong Huan looked at Lin Wenjing, who was blushing, and couldn't help but be a little dazed, this beautiful girl's bargaining skills are high, and she can't bear to refuse at all! I didn't expect that the good looks could really be used for money.

"You don't have to run a peach for a peach. Actually, I have one left in the car, so I'll get it for you. ”

Zhong Huan naturally couldn't take Lin Wenjing to the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu to get peaches. But he couldn't bear to refuse the filial and kind-hearted girl in front of him. So I had an idea and came up with a good idea. As he spoke, he reached under the tarpaulin and pretended to be fetching peaches, when in fact his mind was connected to the storage hall. I directly selected the largest and reddest peach and teleported it to my hand.

Lin Wenjing clearly saw that Zhong Huan's peaches were sold out just now, and he didn't know what he was touching. But it didn't take long for Lin Wenjing's eyes to widen. I saw that Zhong Huan really took out a big peach from under the rainproof cloth, and it seemed to be bigger and more beautiful than the ones sold before, and there were two green leaves under the big peach.

"Where did you come from? You're not going to be a magician, are you? Lin Wenjing felt that the rainproof cloth on the tricycle was comparable to the magic cloth in the hands of a magician, and it could be transformed into a big peach with one cover and one lift.

"Haha~ You're really kidding. Where can I do magic? I put it away and kept it for myself. I didn't plan to sell it and hid it in advance, but I sold you because you were so sincere. Zhong Huan touched his nose and smiled, it seems that he really has the potential to be a magician.

"Thank you! But all I have is this money, you see......"

Lin Wenjing didn't delve into the origin of the peach, she couldn't guess that Zhong Huan carried the storage space, but she thought that there might be a hidden grid on the tricycle. After taking out all the money on her body, Lin Wenjing felt a little blushing again. The peach in Zhong Huan's hand is obviously the best in a cart of peaches, but she wants to buy it at the lowest price, which makes Lin Wenjing a little unhappy.

Zhong Huan saw that Lin Wenjing was holding the money in her little hand, and knew that she was not lying. He wanted to say that he didn't want this peach money, but he was worried about causing a misunderstanding and making the other party think that he had some intentions. So he took forty yuan from Lin Wenjing and said, "There are so many that it is enough for the cost." You can keep the change and take the car. ”

"What's so embarrassing?" Lin Wenjing didn't expect Zhong Huan to be so good-hearted, this is the first time she has met a merchant who takes the initiative to make profits.

"You helped me say so many good things, I was embarrassed to take your money, what are you embarrassed about? Today's birthday in Lingtang, you take the car back early, the old man must be very happy, I wish her a happy birthday. Zhong Huan knew that there was no harm in doing business with a sweet mouth, not to mention that Lin Wenjing helped him again, and said two good words without expense.

"Thank you then! I will definitely bring your blessings. Lin Wenjing smiled slightly, although Zhong Huan only gave her ten yuan cheaper, but it made her feel very good.

Zhong Huan watched Lin Wenjing walk away, and he also stepped on the tricycle and began to ride back. While pedaling, Zhong Huan calculated in his heart: one peach is fifty, ten are five hundred, and twenty-six are sold today, and one thousand two hundred and ninety yuan is received. If you sell 1,000 a day, 10,000 in 10 days, 30,000 in a month, and 360,000 in a year...... This is the rhythm of getting rich!

Wait, it doesn't seem right. I was just testing the water today, and I didn't fill a car full of peaches, and if it was full, my income would have doubled. And a cart of peaches was sold in less than an hour, which is too conservative to sell a cart a day. If it is calculated at 2,000 yuan per hour, it is 20,000 yuan for 10 hours a day, 200,000 yuan for 10 days, 600,000 yuan for a month, and 7.2 million yuan for a year...... This is the rhythm of making a fortune! How do you spend all this money?

Zhong Huan thought in his heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, as if he had become rich and handsome in a second, and the three-wheeled car he was riding had become a luxury car, all of which was the credit of Ten Thousand Beast Gu. Thinking of the Ten Thousand Beast Gu, Zhong Huan suddenly woke up from his daydream.

Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu is full of vitality now, the types of plants are far from enough, after all, the types of crops grown in Xiaohe Village are not very complete. Not to mention that there are no imported fruits and vegetables and fruits and vegetables from the south, even the watermelons that are often eaten in summer are not grown in Xiaohe Village. This requires Zhong Huan to find seeds from other sources.

It can be said that striking iron also needs its own hardness. Zhong Huan knew in his heart that the Ten Thousand Beast Gu was the foundation of his own life, and only when the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu was forked could he make more money. Whether you buy a car or a house, it is not as affordable as investing in Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. When you have money, strengthening the Ten Thousand Beast Gu is the last word.

Zhong Huan is a person who does what he thinks. With an idea in his head, he turned around and rode back to the Long Street Market. In the largest wholesale market in Donghai City, Zhong Huan believes that he can find many fruits and vegetables that are not available in Xiaohe Village.

For more than 1,000 yuan, if you only buy fruits and vegetables, you can buy a lot. Zhong Huan entered the market and began to go on a shopping spree, large watermelons, small cherries, southern coconuts, imported blueberries...... In short, he buys it as long as it looks fresh. You don't need too much of each quantity, just enough to make seeds.

Just when Zhong Huan was visiting the market, Zhou Hongda also returned to the hotel. He has a habit of going back to the hotel to try fresh ingredients every time he buys them. If you need to cook, the hotel kitchen is also fully stocked with spices and side dishes.

The neatly dressed doorman at the door of the hotel saw the boss coming back with his pocket, and knew that the boss had gained a lot this time, so he hurriedly trotted forward, took the pocket and greeted: "Mr. Zhou, you can take it for me." ”

"Is the old man at the hotel?" Zhou Hongda handed the pocket containing the peach to the doorman and asked.

"I'm still lecturing in the kitchen. Zhou Shao is also there. The doorman replied respectfully.

"What week? Call him Xinxin. I'm not used to him, and if you spoil him, I'm not done with you. Zhou Hongda doesn't want to spoil his son as a lazy rich second generation, and he also points to his son to inherit the family business.

"Mr. Zhou, Xinxin is very motivated, every time the old man comes to lecture, he must come. I'm just calling it casually, isn't it popular? The doorman didn't expect the horse's fart to be slapped on the horse's leg, and hurriedly said good things about Zhou Xin.

Zhou Hongda heard that his son was self-motivated, and he was naturally happy, so he didn't bother with the doorman. When he entered the back kitchen, he saw his father Zhou Ruixuan wearing a chef's hat and a white uniform, training the chefs in the hotel, and his son Zhou Xin was also in the group of people being trained.

The Zhou family is a single lineage of four generations, and the ancestor is the imperial chef in the palace. Later, the Qing Dynasty died, and Zhou Hongda's grandfather left the capital and lived in seclusion in Donghai City. Although the emperor is gone, and the imperial kitchen is gone, the craftsmanship of the Zhou family has been passed down.

After the reform and opening up, Zhou Ruixuan started from scratch, starting from a small restaurant, and slowly developed and expanded. Zhou Hongda's son inherited his father's business, forged ahead, and after two generations of efforts, he has today's large-scale Hongda Hotel. Seeing that the third-generation Zhou Xin was also very interested in cooking, Zhou Hongda couldn't help but feel relieved.

Looking at the catering industry in Donghai City, the few five-star hotels that can be ranked in front of Hongda Restaurant are either relying on the state-run signboard Donghai Hotel or relying on the foreign-invested Crowne Plaza Hotel. The environment and management of these restaurants may be better than that of Hongda Restaurant. But in terms of food taste, it is really not necessarily the opponent of Hongda, so Hongda's popularity is no worse than that of five-star hotels. Delicious food is the core competitiveness of Hongda Hotel, and Zhou Hongda certainly hopes that his son will inherit the hotel and pass on the craftsmanship of his ancestors, rather than just being a simple hotel manager.
