What Levi didn't expect was that it was already noon meal time, but Andrea's restaurant looked very deserted, which made Levi very puzzled, Andrea's cooking skills were so good, how could no one eat it?

The idle chef Andre saw that it was Levi who came, and immediately became very enthusiastic, and introduced today's menu to Levi, Levi naturally did not refute his face, and asked him to watch these people arrange, after Andre went to eat, Levi actually caught a glimpse of the menu There was actually French on the menu, and he thought that Andre wanted to develop to the high-end route.

However, Levi also quickly found some problems, that is, there is basically no waiter in this hotel, and Andre himself is busy throughout the whole process, carefully recalling the banquet last night, there seems to be no service staff, the buffet is okay, if there are many guests in normal times, how busy they come.

Levi seems to have discovered the reason for the lukewarm popularity of Andrea's restaurant.

Sure enough, because there was only one person busy with the work, from cooking to serving, Andre was doing it himself, and Levi's desire to help was also sternly rejected by him.

Fortunately, Russia has a separate meal system, and everyone eats one of the last dishes, which has the feeling of Chinese private cuisine.

After eating a few dishes, Hank and the others became a little impatient, and the time spent waiting for the dishes in the middle was too long......

There was no way Levi had to chat with a few people about the company's future plans, and asked them if they were satisfied with the current living environment, food and other conditions, everyone was quite satisfied, only Hank was not very satisfied with his laboratory conditions, but Levi didn't have so much spare money to upgrade his equipment for the time being, so he had to filter his words.

The meal was eaten until the afternoon, and when the last dish was served, Levi directly asked a few employees to pack it and take it away, while he stayed to talk to Andre.

After a while, Andre, who was busy in the kitchen, returned to the dining room and found that only Levi himself was still waiting for him, and his face was still a little disappointed.

Still, he perked himself up and asked Levi about his dining experience.

Levi was not polite this time, the food was good, but it took too long to serve.

Levi's answer did not shock Andre, and it was clear that this was not the first thing Levi said to him.

Levi took the opportunity to ask about the French on the menu and talked to him about his time studying in France.

This completely opened Andre's chatterbox.

It turned out that Andre was a native of Bues, and when he was a child, he also dreamed of going to see his sister outside, and after graduating from high school, he went to Europe, starting as a vegetable washer, and finally became the head chef of a quasi-Michelin-starred restaurant. But during the most crucial Michelin visit, an Algerian waiter poured a whole plate of secret lamb toned green beans on the 'guest'. Let Andre lose the star that he has already reached. (At least that's what he thinks.) ）

I didn't expect that the next days would also be bad luck one after another, after losing the stars, Andre put more thoughts on the restaurant, but he didn't expect the restaurant's business to deteriorate day by day, and his wife also abandoned him, speaking of this, Andre also shed two tears from the corners of his eyes.

Levi had no choice but to comfort him.

Later, Andre was heartbroken and left France and returned to his hometown, he attributed all his misfortunes to the Algerian waiter who made a mistake, so he returned to the city of Buenos Aires to open his own restaurant after everything was done himself, at first his status as a French chef brought him a lot of customers, but the more people, the more unbearable the speed of his serving, as a result, no one wants to come at all, only the evening buffet can attract some people.

The buffet relief in the evening is also Andrew's helplessness forced by life, the dishes on the menu during the day have been pre-prepared, if they can't be sold according to his professional ethics can only be thrown away, in order not to waste, but also in order to return to the order, he opened a buffet in the evening.

I didn't expect this to really let him do it, although there are still not many guests, but he can maintain the most basic expenses.

Levi knew that Andre's arrival today was entirely due to his heart knots, and he couldn't take this step by himself, and no one could help him.

After that, Levi took the opportunity to ask Andre for his own needs, a request for a chef.

"To be honest, I don't know many people in Buenos, but the vendor I often buy food from knows a lot of chefs, so I'll say hi to him, and you can just ask him when the time comes."

After getting Andrea's business card, Levi said goodbye to Andre, saying that he would come to eat his dishes often in the future.

Andre also said that next time he would cook some authentic French food for Levi.

Leaving Andrea's restaurant, Li Wei first went back to the villa to see how Zhang Runyu's task was completed.

According to Zhang Runyu's reply, because they have no experience in cooperating with Li Wei, they are reluctant to pay the deposit first, and there is even a state-owned enterprise that wants to bully Li Wei and their small company, and wants not to pay first, and then settle the bill for Li Wei and them after the grain is sold.

Hearing these news, Li Wei's fire is also a little big, and when you sell the grain in us, you are giving us money, and the second dealer is not like this.

Li Wei asked Zhang Runyu again if he had contacted the grain merchants that his uncle had cooperated with before.

I didn't expect the results over there to be not very good, it had been several years since my uncle last did the grain business, and many of them were not in the grain business now, and the remaining group of people were also skeptical about whether Li Wei could take over his uncle's business.

The so-called icing on the cake is easy, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow is now in this situation.

Without pre-selling in advance, it would be a big gamble for Levi and them to continue to grow food, but if they didn't plant, then Levi's early investment would be all in vain, and the more than 4 million arrears would be even more disrespectful.

"No matter what, spring ploughing will continue, we still have to continue to contact domestic grain merchants, even if the profit is a little lower, it is best to sign the pre-sale contract first."

"By the way, no matter what, receiving the goods and settling the balance is our company's final bottom line."

Li Wei thought about it and decided to continue the spring ploughing, the international situation in the past few years has not been stable, and the price of grain, a commodity, will not be reduced for a long time.

After Levi is sure, things will not change again, open the road when the mountains are encountered, build bridges when the water meets, and just stick to it.

Then Levi called the supplier, after learning that Levi's farm had to prepare ingredients for more than 10 people every day, the supplier quickly sent a phone call to Levi, it is said that the chef had opened a small restaurant by himself, but then her husband gambled and lost all the family property, and after the divorce, he could only work with his children, if Levi was willing to provide a good salary and living environment, then this person would definitely satisfy Levi.
