Chapter 34: Selling Vegetables
At the end of the morning class, Xie Hang took Ling Mei to Yuntao Hotel.
Xie Genbao personally cooked a table of side dishes, Fujian is close to the sea, and the seafood is delicious and cheap. A few dishes of raw pickled cold dishes, a whole pot of steamed pike crab, his specialty garlic pork ribs, and two fresh vegetarian dishes. This table is not cheap.
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat." Xie Genbao smiled and entertained the little guests. "I've been hungry for a long day of studying, right? Let's try the cooking skills of our restaurant first. ”
With a smile on his face, he secretly observed Ling Mei. The more I looked at the little girl, the more amazed I became.
is obviously a little hairy boy as big as his son, and he is still a poor girl in the mountain village, but he is calm and generous, and he is more sophisticated than him at ease.
Ling Mei thanked him without mentioning it. After tasting some delicious food, she accurately commented on the lack of advantages of each dish, and Xie Genbao nodded again and again, and even forgot to be surprised: Which eldest lady is this? Is the mouth so tricky?
After the meal, fragrant tea was served, and the two officially began to talk about business.
"Uncle Xie. There are two grades of vegetables in my house. Ling Mei drank the tea, and when she opened her mouth, Gen Bao almost sprayed tea.
There are grades of dishes, and there are two?
"What I gave to Aunt Qin was the best fruit and vegetables in my family. It is usually kept for personal use and gifts. As for the ordinary grade dishes, my father brought them to the town every week to sell them, and now they have formed a regular customer base. The market is priceless. ”
Xie Hang looked at his old classmate dumbfounded: Oh my God, Xiao Lingmei is usually quiet, but when she starts business, is her mouth so powerful?
Xie Genbao nodded quietly: "That's it." Can you ask what is the output of your vegetable plot? ”
"Two acres of vegetable land at home." Ling Mei also counted part of the production capacity in the space. "The total output value of a year can be 5,000 catties."
Xie Genbao puffed: "Five, five thousand catties?!" ”
Ling Mei smiled: "At the beginning of spring this year, we have just improved the vegetable seeds, learned advanced scientific planting methods, and replaced high-quality pesticides with less residual toxicity. So in the past month or so, the output has increased by one-third over the same period last year, and the taste of the dishes is getting better and better. ”
Xie Genbao was dizzy when he heard it: "So that's the case." ”
"I want to ask Uncle Xie, how many vegetables do you need every day for this restaurant?"
Xie Genbao was in a spirit and said cautiously: "What vegetables do you want to see?" Choy sum always costs about 200 catties a day, and other dishes are about the same for 100 catties. But your tomatoes are superb. We take as much as we want. ”
Ling Mei said yes. No problem, it's just that the price has to be negotiated.
"Uncle Xie is Xie Hang's father, and Xie Hang and I have a friendship in the same class. The price of the dish is called, I can discount it. ”
Xie Genbao nodded frequently: "Classmate Xiao." ”
Ling Mei said again: "As I said just now, like the dish I gave to my aunt yesterday, it is the most expensive." My house never sells either. If you order for a long time, the price will be double that of the same product outside. ”
Choi sum is now seven cents a catty, and double it is one dime and four.
Tomatoes are one dime a catty, and doubling is two cents.
Ling Mei saw Xie Genbao's painful expression and said with a smile: "It's really expensive, but you've tasted our dishes." Even if it is sent to the Great Hall of the People, it is worth it. You can also open a boutique menu in the hotel, and the price is different. ”
Xie Genbao: Why does this little girl have so many fancy intestines? The Great Hall of the People, the boutique menu? How did she come up with it?
"What about your ordinary dishes?" He shifted his butt, "I haven't tasted it yet." ”
"I'll bring you a basket of vegetables tomorrow morning. Please come to the school gate to pick you up. ”
"Good. Xiao is so refreshing. ”
"As for the price, you are a wholesale price, you can rest assured, it will always be cheaper than the market price."
"Okay, okay." Xie Genbao didn't dare to underestimate Ling Mei anymore, and after talking about the dishes, he asked carefully, "What about the fish?" ”
"Fish!" Ling Mei smiled, like a jade dizzy. "I'm going to disappoint Uncle Xie. Fish, yes, but they were caught in the mountains. The output is certainly not enough to handle the business in your store. ”
Xie Genbao had expected this result, and he didn't give up in disappointment: "I don't have high requirements, can I do ten a day?" ”
Ling Mei shook her head: "In a month, the fish in the mountain stream pond will become extinct." ”
Xie Genbao couldn't help but be frustrated. Unexpectedly, Ling Mei said with a smile: "But Uncle Xie, I have good news for you." ”
Xie Genbao perked up: "What? ”
"My family is going to use the fry of these fish this year and try the rice flower fish."
"Rice-rice fish?!" As a chef, Xie Genbao certainly knows the origin of rice fish. I couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Really? Do you really want to raise rice and fish? ”
After receiving a positive answer, he was worried again: "Rice and fish, I can't raise it." The yield is small. We haven't cultivated it on a large scale yet. How sure are you? ”
What can the Xiao family do?
Xiao Lingmei said confidently: "Raise in May and harvest in October." Please come and inspect the goods at that time. ”
Xie Genbao patted the case: "Okay." You can really raise a large strip of rice fish, our hotel is all inclusive! "When the time comes, braised steamed and cut fish, and have a fish feast with the theme of rice and fish, it is strange that the business is not prosperous.
Enjoy a great meal.
On this day, Ling Mei came home from school, and there was a plate of cut, dark red, and fragrant braised intestines on the table.
Ling Mei immediately swallowed. The original owner's grandma's hundred-year-old marinade, I haven't eaten it yet, and I already know that it deserves its name just by smelling it.
The large intestine is cleaned very cleanly and there is no odor. The mouth is soft but elastic, and the mouth is full of rich and mellow marinade when you bite into it.
It's good to love this mouth, and it's not good to hate to die. Fortunately, the Xiao family likes it. Even if there is only a pot of stir-fried cabbage sum and a bowl of pickled vegetable and egg drop soup on the table, everyone is still satisfied.
Ling Yun has been especially fond of eating vegetables recently, and his body is much stronger, and he has no colds, coughs, and nosebleeds at every turn. Ling Hui's face was also a little rounder, and he saw his height jumping up.
Luo Guixiang felt that her skin was whiter and more tender than before, and her body was much lighter. As for Daddy Xiao, he didn't feel tired when he worked during the day, and he was also alive at night.
After eating, Ling Mei stopped shaking her hand at the shopkeeper: "Ling Hui." This week it's your turn to wash the dishes. ”
Ling Hui pretended not to hear, and Daddy Xiao slammed the table: "Xiao Linghui!" Did you hear what your sister said? ”
Ling Hui turned his head: "Dad, I still have homework to finish." ”
"yes." Guixiang hurriedly said, "Lingmei-I'll wash it." ”
Dad Xiao sneered: "I see that there is a sentence in your book, which is called 'If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world'." You won't even wash a bowl, what's the use of reading well? Read like a helpless waster? ”
Ling Hui gritted his teeth and glared at Ling Mei hatefully: "I can't wash it?" ”
Daddy Xiao smiled and reminded him coldly: "Break a bowl and eat one less meal." ”
Ling Hui glared at his father incredulously, and Father Xiao turned his head to Ling Mei and said, "I'll go to the town tomorrow to pick up the bicycle." I'll pick you up and go home from school. ”
Ling Hui was furious, bicycle! Tomorrow he'll have a bike! In a state of excitement, I don't even feel tired of washing dishes.
Guixiang wanted to help her son, but was stopped by Ling Mei: "Don't go." I have something important to tell you. ”
She sat on the stool in annoyance, and said angrily, "What important matter do you have?" ”
Daddy Xiao was also curious: "What's wrong?" ”
Ling Mei smiled at her father and said, "Dad." I found a long-term regular customer for our food. ”
Daddy Xiao thought he had heard it wrong: "What did you say?" ”
"The Yuntao Hotel in town. You know, right? Ling Mei continued, "His family's chef is the father of my classmate. I accidentally ate my family's dishes, and I am willing to buy them for a long time. I think it's also very good, the price is only higher than what you sell outside, and the harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood, so you don't have to worry about waste. ”
Daddy Xiao and Guixiang looked at each other: Ling Mei is serious?
That's a great thing!
