Chapter 186: Food Festival Activities
Recently, there has been something wrong with the boundary mountain, and that is the problem of the beasts and animals in the mountain. Because of the large area of the Boundary Mountain, there are many wild animals that make their homes in the mountains, and although Wu Chen sent a large number of hunters to catch medium and large animals and drive them into the same area, there are still fish that have slipped through the net.
A few days ago, there were wild boars in the mountains, very fierce, and injured several workers, although Wu Chen sent them to the hospital as soon as possible, but it always left a shadow in the hearts of the workers, making everyone panic, and the progress of the construction suddenly slowed down a lot.
Wu Chen suddenly woke up, a little in a trance, "Uncle Qian, what did you just say?" Is it a matter of the grain store, I have already negotiated it with Boss Zhang. ”
Qian Dong sighed, knowing that the second young master was really tired during this time, he used to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the paper mill and the glass factory, and the operating system was very mature. This is finally tossing a mountain villa plan, busy and busy, who would have thought that the eldest young master is missing, Yalinju is now in the event of holding a food festival, very busy, while talking about cooperation with many bosses, all the things are transferred to the hands of the old lady and the second young master, and it is a little too busy for a while.
It's really a pity for the second young master, the eldest young master has been missing for ten days, and he has been busy for ten days, in the past, he stayed in the study all day to paint, but now he stays in the study all day long to read the account books, read the contract, and read the plan book.
"Second Young Master, you better rest for a while, what if you get tired of your body? The old lady will be worried. Qian Dong said sincerely.
Wu Chen waved his hand casually, "It's okay, it's not much, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to be able to do this, he is actually busy with so many things on weekdays, I'm afraid I don't even have time to play, compared to him, I'm really ashamed of myself." ”
Saying that, Wu Chen suddenly missed his eldest brother a little, he had been missing for ten days, I don't know if he had traveled to the world where his mother used to be? I don't know how to live in that world? Could it be that the eldest brother will never come back?
Thinking of this, there is a little sentimentality.
He didn't envy Wu Xu for being able to see a different world when he traveled to modern times, he was only worried that he would never be able to see Wu Xu.
Although he was not convinced why Wu Xu was his eldest brother when he was a child, he always pretended to be a little adult, obviously with the same face as him, but he was always serious like a little old man, he didn't like to laugh, and he always scolded him, etc., so he didn't like him a little in his heart. However, he knows very well that they are a family, and the eldest brother actually loves him, because he sometimes gets snacks and will give them to him directly; sneaked out to play and was beaten by others, and the eldest brother stood up for him without hesitation, fought for him, and so on, he saw it in his heart.
There are many things that people don't express directly in words, but we can look closely, and all the love is contained in every little gesture.
"Second Young Master......" Qian Dong looked at Wu Chen with both emotion and distress, feeling that the second young master had grown up, and he felt sorry that the second young master had grown up.
"Is the venue for the food festival already set up, the food festival will open in three days, but don't make a mistake." Wu Chen carefully instructed, this food festival is a major festival held every two years in Yalinju, and there must be no mistakes.
The so-called food festival is actually a bit of a competition, but it is not a wide invitation to invite the chefs of the restaurants of the Quanwu Dynasty to participate in the cooking competition, it is more like an internal competition in Yalinju, a competition set up for chefs, the result of the competition is voted by the diners, and the top three will be listed in each food festival area, and the top three will have very considerable rewards.
This food festival is held at the same time, in addition to the capital, there are Jimo City, Chaoyang City and Yaohai City, which are jointly opened on the same day and at the same time period, and the theme and rules of the food festival are the same, of course, the chefs are different.
The rules of the event are actually very simple, that is, the chefs of Yalinju are fighting alone, you can bring your own assistant chefs, no more than five people, choose a small stall in the square arranged by Yalinju, and sell the main food festival theme food in the stall, and the price is self-determined. The festival will be held for two days, and after two days, each stall will hand over the money collected, and after counting, a leaderboard will be listed, and the top three will be divided according to the leaderboard, and then rewarded. After subtracting the cost of ingredients, spices, etc., from all the money harvested by the stall, the rest of the money will go to the stall chef.
As for the diners, they only need to bring money to spend.
Because the food provided by the food festival is required to be the chef's own dishes, and the original dishes of Yalinju can also be improved, so the things on the food festival are things that everyone has never seen, so they have always been quite popular, and even many people have regarded the food festival of Yalinju as a traditional festival of the Wu Dynasty, and every time at this time, they have rushed to one of the four cities to participate in the food festival activities.
The food festival founded by Yalin Residence is unique, one can advertise for Yalin Ju, the second can stimulate the innovation of chefs to innovate dishes, three can enhance the popularity of chefs, and four is that if the chef's innovative dishes are affirmed by the public, after the menu of Yalin Ju is on the menu in the future, every guest officer orders the chef's dishes, and the chef will also have a corresponding commission income.
Therefore, this food festival can be said to be a win-win situation for all parties, Yalinju has earned exposure and fame, chefs have earned fame and money, and diners have enjoyed a new journey to the tip of their tongues and opened new doors to food.
Qian Dong nodded hurriedly, "The venues have been arranged, if there are no accidents, the food festival in this world will be held smoothly." ”
"Well, is there anything else?"
"Yalinju is not there for the time being, but there is a little problem with the glass procurement of the villa, originally our glass procurement is a fixed cooperation with a Yuliang merchant, but recently our contract has expired, and the Yuliang merchant does not want to continue to cooperate with us." Qian Dong frowned slightly and said, today's Yalinju already has a lot of say in the business world of the Wu Dynasty, and no one will be unwilling to cooperate with Yalinju to negotiate business, this Yuliang businessman is still the first, so he thinks it's quite strange.
There is a courtyard in the villa that is designed in the style of imitating Yuliang, so it needs glass to decorate, if there is no glass, then the design drawings he used for a few days and nights will be in vain.
"Since that Yuliang merchant doesn't want to continue to cooperate with us, let's find other Yuliang merchants, and he is not the only Yuliang merchant." Wu Chen's eyebrows were tangled, and there was a hint of irritability in his tone.
Qian Ran replied a little embarrassed: "But we also found a few Yuliang businessmen, and they all said that they were unwilling to cooperate with us." ”
How did it feel similar? It seems that Yalinju has experienced such a thing before, Qian Dong thought to himself.
"Don't want to work with us? Why? ”
"I don't know yet, I've already sent someone to find out the reason, but I think the main reason should be from Yuliang." Qian Dong replied.
"Don't make any money?" Wu Chen couldn't understand the operation, "Then go and find out, I don't want to change my design, and spend a few days and nights re-thinking a new design, I don't have so much time." ”
Qian Dong nodded hurriedly, and just as he was about to retreat, his assistant knocked on the door and entered the study.
"Second Young Master, Mr. Qian, I have already found out that the Yuliang merchant did not sign a glass contract with us." The assistant in the accounting room reported, "The little one came out of the mouth of the Yuliang merchant who didn't want to renew the contract with us, saying that a large part of the glass in Yuliang City was bought by an unknown buyer this year, so the amount of glass that Yuliang City can sell to the outside world has been greatly reduced, and the goods in the hands of the Yuliang merchant have bottomed out, and they can't pay the amount of goods we are asking for." ”
Wu Chenjun raised his eyebrows, "Unknown buyer? Yuliang's annual output of glaze has always been limited, but the quantity is also very large, and I bought so much in one go, is this to build a glazed house? Wait, glazed house? "How does it feel familiar? Glass house? Liuli Pavilion?
Although he has only been to Yuliang City once, Wu Chen is still very impressed with the Liuli Pavilion, after all, such a ghostly restaurant is really beyond his imagination of the restaurant, the first time it was broken through was the twin restaurants designed by Lin Xia, and the second time was this Liuli Pavilion, and since then there has been no restaurant design that has made him exceed his imagination.
Speaking of this glazed pavilion, Wu Chen thought of a person, Li Yu. He seems to remember that Li Yu is the son of Liuli Pavilion, and the unknown buyer, could it be him?
Wu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, let the construction team of the villa first put aside the construction of the Yuliang Pavilion, I may have some way to do this glass matter, you can retreat for the time being." ”
"Yes." Qian Dong and his assistants stepped back one after another.
Wu Chen took out a piece of writing paper, dipped the ink all over the brush, picked up the pen and began to write a letter, and finished it without thinking about it. After folding it, he put it in an envelope and handed it directly to the servant next to him, "Hurry up and send me to the Liuli Pavilion in Yuliang City and give it to Li Yu Gongzi." ”
The little maid frowned slightly and said, "Second Young Master, why did you write to Li Yugongzi?" Can he conjure glass for you? ”
Wu Chen glanced at him and said, "If you ask, just send it to me, so much nonsense!" ”
The little guy stuck out his tongue and was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly took Wu Chen's envelope, "Yes, Second Young Master, the little one will help you hand it over to the dart bureau immediately." ”
The current ten-year contract between Longmen Dart Bureau and Yalinju has already expired, of course, there is still a continuation of the contract with Yalinju, and it will be signed for fifty years as soon as it is signed.
In addition to Yalinju, the Longmen Dart Bureau also began to cooperate with many businessmen, among which Yuliang and Saiwai also received the merchants' darts, for convenience, the Longmen Dart Bureau also set up a branch in Saiwai and Yuliang, so if it is not a quick letter, in fact, you can ask the dart master of the Longmen Dart Bureau to bring Yuliang to help send the letter, of course, only the people of Yalinju can let them send the letter by the way.
