Chapter Seventy-Three: It's better than not knowing, Gerald was startled
The Silver Hotel, full of customers, the three invited merchants stopped in the hall, waiting for the arrival of the hotel owner Gerald, the shrewd businessmen glanced around, and sighed in their hearts that the new dishes have such a hot attraction, if these admiring customers know that there is a more delicious Hearthstone Hotel in Stormwind Town, how should these customers behave?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Old Mr. Fry, the supply is so tight now, I still can't figure out how you can supply the Hearthstone Inn order." ”
"Haha, I didn't think you still cared about this." Old Frye chuckled softly, "Since Bucky asked, then I'll tell you two, not many people know about this matter yet, I hope the two of you can keep it a secret, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Bucky, a shrewd businessman, and Ronald, a grumpy businessman, glanced at each other and nodded solemnly.
Old Frye said in a low voice: "The two of you should have heard that Her Royal Highness the princess has a boyfriend who has been in love for many years, right?" ”
"I've heard of it, and His Royal Highness Prince Terenas seems to be very opposed to this relationship, and the relationship with the princess has been very bad in recent years, so it must be ......"
"Yes, Prince Terenas is getting older and doesn't want to have a cold war with his relatives anymore, so he agreed to the princess's request not long ago to hold a grand engagement banquet for her, so in addition to purchasing the necessary ingredients, I also need to use the teleportation array to go to the imperial capital, and take this opportunity to buy fresh meat for Count Anduin."
Old Frye explained the reason, and the two merchants suddenly realized that although there were teleportation arrays in important cities, the teleportation cost was extremely expensive, and the reason why Anduin was able to return quickly was thanks to his cheap teacher, the right hand of the Holy Light, who paid off the teleportation fee, and usually, the three merchants would not leave the vicinity of the fortress when buying goods, so they never thought of this aspect.
I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is going to hold an engagement ceremony, and the two merchants are in mind, this is a good opportunity to get closer to the royal family, they don't want to let go, and at the same time, they also plan to do so, and Gerald who came with a smile, but compared to the two merchants, his goal is to win the right to make the banquet production, not only to make the Silver Fortress completely his home field, but also to contact the guests from outside the city who came to congratulate, each of these people is a leading figure, if the situation is good, it can help the Silver Hotel to develop by leaps and bounds.
As an important milestone in the attack on the capital, Gerald could not allow any mistakes to be made, so he immediately came to greet the three merchants, especially the old Fry, when he knew that they had returned.
"Mr. Fry, Boss Bucky, Boss Ronald, I'm really sorry, the three of you have been waiting for a long time, there are some things at hand just now, and you can't get out of it, let's go to the box, the supply matter, and talk about it after eating!" Gerard invited with great enthusiasm, "Chef Gordon's elaborate meals have been very popular recently, and almost all customers are here for his reputation, but don't worry, Chef Gordon will make it for you first, three distinguished guests." ”
Gerald was at the front, so he didn't see the expressions of the three old frye, and he didn't expect as much as the other customers, but just took it upon himself to introduce the Silver Hotel's main specialty, improved dishes, including Earl Grey's steak.
"Earl Steak? What is the allusion to the name? ”
The grumpy merchant Ronald asked casually, but Gerald's performance was very atmospheric, and he did not deliberately hide it, but said lightly: "Hehe, Earl Anduin of Stormwind Town has put forward valuable suggestions for the improvement of pan-fried steak, and in order to thank him for his contribution, it is hereby renamed Earl Steak, if the three distinguished guests are not sure about lunch, I highly recommend Earl Steak." ”
Gerald smiled and led the three of them into the box, only when the surprised look on their faces was strange about the origin of the Earl's steak, after a few seconds of silence in the air, it was the shrewd businessman Bucky who took the initiative to break the embarrassment: "Okay, just listen to Gerard's boss's advice, the three of us are looking forward to this Earl's steak!" ”
Bucky was sure that this was definitely in the hearts of the three of them, and even though they didn't know how Anduin had been able to conduct remote instruction without leaving Stormwind Town, the special name of Earl's steak alone was worth a taste for them.
Gerald, who had successfully sold again, directly classified old Frye and others as stable customers, and walked out of the door with a glorious face, and just heard the sound of the door closing, Ronald asked directly: "What will I do later?" ”
Old Frye was puzzled: "What to do?" ”
"What if Gerrard asks us to rate the taste?"
Old Frye was stunned, couldn't find an answer, or the shrewd businessman shook his head and said: "Let's look at the situation first, if the taste is good, we can't make any effort to praise a few words, if the taste is ...... Well, at least you have to take care of Gerald's face, after all, they are all old customers, and it's hard to talk too much if you look up and don't look down. ”
Old Frye and Ronald nodded their heads, not that they looked down on Gordon's craftsmanship, but that they had witnessed the production process of roasted whole sheep, which brought them an unparalleled strong impact, even if the type of meal was different, it also made them judge by feeling in advance, especially Old Frye, who had eaten more barbecue, had no hope for the so-called Chef Gordon.
For some reason, the three of them were a little absent-minded, chatting without a word, and after a while, they saw Gerard go and return, followed by three attendants, and deliver the first plate of smoked salmon.
As if facing the old lord and others, Gerald still introduced the characteristics of this dish with full emotion, and the emotions of the three merchants were finally mobilized, and they picked up their knives and forks and began to eat, although after tasting it, they nodded to affirm the salmon flavor, but the expressions on their faces did not change much.
Gerald asked softly, "How do the three of you feel about this smoked salmon?" ”
"Not bad."
The shrewd merchant said lightly, and the other two nodded, this smoked salmon dish is indeed good, but it is only good, and no one wants to comment too much on it.
Gerald, who is good at observing words and feelings, is very keen to capture the strange atmosphere, but he only thinks that the three merchants are well-informed characters, so he is not much surprised by the small improvement of smoked salmon, and immediately asks people to send soup and seafood soup, but the result is the same as before, the three of them say that it is good, but their faces are as indifferent as water, as if they are eating an ordinary food.
This kind of performance, he has only seen in one person, that person is naturally Van Cleef, it seems that this building director has studied food after going to Stormwind Town, Gerald suddenly remembered, didn't the old Frye three also come from Stormwind Town?
His eyebrows quietly condensed, and Gerald hurriedly asked someone to serve the Earl's steak, his mood was a little chaotic, and he only felt that he seemed to have ignored it too early, the Hearthstone Inn and the Earl of Anduin, he could only hope now that at this critical juncture, there would not be a half-point difference!
Fortunately, the situation did not continue to deteriorate, the expressions of the three merchants who tasted the Earl Grey steak finally changed, the three of them looked at each other, and they all showed satisfied eyes, and the irritable merchant sighed sincerely: "The taste of this Earl Grey steak is really good, not only the aroma is tangy, but even the meat taste is just right, which is worthy of the delicacy personally pointed out by the Earl of Anduin." ”
When Old Frye saw that he had proposed Anduin's name, he no longer had any scruples, nodded and asked, "Boss Gerald, can you tell me about Count Anduin, how did he give him?" ”
Point?
Hearing this word, Gerald was in a bad mood, because old Frye and Ronald had put the so-called Earl of Anduin in a much higher position than Chef Gordon, but he was very high in the city, and he still smiled and said: "Earl Anduin did not officially come forward, it was President Van Cleef who borrowed his tone and made an evaluation of the fried steak, and Chef Gordon quickly improved it according to the shortcomings, which made the Earl Steak popular all over the city." ”
When he spoke, Gerald played a clever trick and deliberately weakened Anduin's existence, emphasizing that the credit for the deliciousness of the steak was more on Gordon, but the three preconceived merchants, where would they care about this, and they all continued to praise Anduin, but did not say a word to Gordon.
Listening to the beautiful words, Gerald felt extremely harsh, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Three, there is also a dessert honey cake, is it served now?" ”
Ronald had a whim and asked, "Boss Gerald, do you have sweet bread here?" Don't serve me honey cakes, bring me the best sweet bread! ”
"But, although the sweet bread is sweet, it is not in accordance with the rules......"
At this time, old Frye also followed to help: "It's okay, we'll eat sweet bread, I hope Boss Gerald can fulfill our little wish." ”
Seeing that Bucky next to him also nodded, Gerald was confused, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the three, and in line with the belief that the guest was God, he had to do as he was told and asked the attendant to fetch a batch of freshly baked sweet bread.
What is strange is that the emotions that were completely mobilized because of the earl's steak suddenly cooled down quickly after seeing the appearance of sweet bread, and the three merchants all showed indescribable expressions, and ate a bite of bread with a little disgust, and then put down the knife and fork in unison.
Gerald's heart tightened: "Three ......"
"Don't talk!" Ronald, a grumpy businessman, interrupted directly, "It tastes good, but I suddenly lost my appetite." ”
Old Frye and Bucky agreed with this, all three of them had eaten the sweet bread of the Hearthstone Inn, just seeing the appearance made people's appetite soar, and then looking at the plate in front of them, they were naturally disappointed, not to mention the taste, it was a world of difference, especially after Bucky asked about the price of each loaf of bread as high as two silver coins, and even shook his head at the other two.
The Earl of Anduin, in order to take care of the townspeople, sold such delicious sweet bread at a reasonable price, why should you sell it for four times the price?
"Okay, don't talk too much, the end of the year is approaching, and the three of us have orders that we said in advance, and I will fulfill the contract as scheduled." Bucky, who is the largest supplier of the Silver Hotel, looked at Gerald with a solemn expression, "But the high-quality meat produced by Storm Ranch, Boss Gerald still doesn't have to think about it." ”
"Why?"
Gerald couldn't help but ask, he had already guessed the general reason, but he still wanted to ask.
Old Frye stood up and answered the question for the savvy merchant, "The reason is that Earl Anduin wants to supply his Hearthstone Inn, and I will soon be going to the capital to buy a shipment of goods for him. ”
