Xiao Yong talked with chef Yi Ya for a while, and someone from the hotel's purchasing department came to contact.

"Chef Yi, why did you do the work of our purchasing department?" A middle-aged man about the same age as Yi Ya came from the purchasing department.

"It's rare to come across such a good quality lettuce, and if you miss it, you may lose the business of the store. Xiao Yong, this is Ma Qing from the purchasing department of our store, Manager Ma, you can talk to him. ”

"Yes, thank you Uncle Yi, Manager Ma, hello, I'm Xiao Yong. ”

"Hello, Mr. Xiao's food is very good, Chef Yi is very picky, our purchasing department, but he is often scolded. ”

"Old horse, do you still dare to complain, what kind of goods did you buy before, don't you have a score in your heart!"

"How dare we complain about you, Chef Yi, how difficult it is to find high-quality ingredients now, you don't know that the people in our purchasing department have broken their legs all over the country in a year, and they can't satisfy you. ”

"It's not about satisfying me, it's about satisfying the customers who come to eat. Come on, I'm a guest, I have to go to the back kitchen, I don't like to talk nonsense with you. ”

It can be seen that Yi Ya and this Manager Ma should have a good relationship with each other, and it seems to be a dispute, but in fact, it is still a joke.

"It's rare for Chef Yi to take the initiative to recommend ingredients, Mr. Xiao, please come with me. ”

"To put it mildly, Manager Ma, my dish is really good, don't press too the price. Xiao Yong entered the state and said with a smile.

"After the inspection of our purchasing department, we will talk about the rest. ”

"No problem. ”

When he came to the warehouse area behind the hotel, Ma Qing poured Xiao Yong a glass of water, asked him to rest on the sofa in his office, and then rushed to take Xiao Yong's lettuce to the test.

After waiting for less than two hours, the test results came out.

"Zero inhibition!"

Ma Qing got the printed test report for the first time, showing that the inhibition rate was zero, that is, there were no pesticide residues.

Vegetables sold in the market, especially vegetables sold in the regular agricultural market, will be sampled for pesticide residues before they are sold, and the inhibition rate is an important indicator for detecting pesticide residues, and more than 50 vegetables are not allowed to be sold on the market, and will be destroyed immediately.

"Mr. Xiao, your dishes are really useless at all?"

"It's useless, not only pesticides are not used, but even chemical fertilizers have not been used at all!"

"How did you do it, without the use of pesticides and fertilizers, lettuce can still grow so well?"

"This ......"

"I understand, trade secrets. Ma Qing looked clear.

"This batch of your dishes, if you can guarantee that they are all like this, our purchasing department can sign a procurement contract with you, I don't know what the price of Mr. Xiao's batch of dishes is?"

"Manager Ma, you are in charge of the procurement of ingredients, and you have also seen the quality of my lettuce, which must be better than the lettuce you can find on the market, so ......"

"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, the quality of your dish is indeed good, we go to the restaurant to taste at home, and we also want to establish a long-term supply relationship with the supplier of high-quality ingredients, so in terms of price, how about we take a step back?"

"Yes, I don't know what kind of price Manager Ma can give?"

"Eight yuan a catty, Mr. Xiao, listen to me, although the organic lettuce on the market, I mean the certified, top-quality organic lettuce, the price can reach twenty yuan a catty, the quality of your lettuce, although it can fully meet the standard of organic lettuce, but ......"

"Yes!"

"Mr. Xiao, what ,——, you listen to me?"

"I said yes, eight dollars a pound, no problem. ”

"Is Mr. Xiao serious?"

"Of course, the price of lettuce should be written into the supply contract. ”

Xiao Yong was very happy in his heart, he was originally satisfied with the price of lettuce, he could buy four or five yuan a catty, but he didn't expect this manager Ma to be able to sell the purchase price to eight yuan!

"Mr. Xiao is interesting enough, my old horse, I have made you a friend! Happy cooperation, Brother Xiao!"

"Happy cooperation, Ma Jing-"

"Brother Ma!"

"Brother Mar. ”

......

Xiao Yong signed a one-month lettuce supply contract with Ma Qing, told Ma Qing about his difficulties, and took a week's worth of lettuce purchase money from the finance, totaling 9,200 yuan.

The supply contract stipulates that Xiao Yong will supply 150 catties of high-quality lettuce every day for the restaurant from Monday to Friday, and 200 catties of high-quality lettuce every day on Saturday and Sunday, and the standard of lettuce is zero pesticide residues......

"Brother Ma, thank you for your help, otherwise, I would have been a little difficult. ”

"It's all a trivial matter, but Brother Xiao, since the supply contract has been signed, it must be strictly observed, and the quality of the dishes must not be problematic, otherwise, the breach of contract clauses stipulated in the contract will be strictly implemented by our hotel." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Ma, I will never dare to ignore the major food matters, and I can rest assured that I will cooperate with a big hotel like you that has strict requirements in terms of ingredients. ”

"Starting tomorrow, you will have to supply our restaurant, and you must deliver the food before 5 a.m. every day, and our store will focus on testing the ingredients purchased that day. ”

"I understand!"

......

Saying goodbye to Ma Qing, Xiao Yong took the signed contract and 9,200 yuan and left the hotel.

"The contract fee for contracting the land in Shangqing River is enough, and I need to have a car to transport lettuce now!"

After scraping together enough for the contract fee, with joy, Xiao Yong did not plan to continue to go to other restaurants and restaurants to sell vegetables, and went back directly.

The problem now is that lettuce needs to be delivered every day.

It is very convenient for Xiao Yong to take out the harvested lettuce from the land of heavenly machines, but he can't take out the vegetables directly at the home tasting restaurant.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a vegetable delivery tool to disguise the source of lettuce before the official production of the Shangqing River, so as to facilitate daily food delivery.

Lettuce is a relatively fluffy and delicate thing, to meet the transportation of two hundred catties of transportation, with Xiao Yong's current capacity, can only use a tricycle, but also the kind of environmental protection and energy-saving large space - human-powered tricycle.

"In the afternoon, I have to buy a tricycle and a basket that can hold two hundred pounds of lettuce!"

"In the North Gate Fresh Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, there are baskets that can be filled with lettuce, so you can go there to find out how lettuce is loaded. ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Yong first went to the North Gate Fresh Agricultural Products Wholesale Market and bought the basket.

"My lettuce, each plant is one size larger than the wrinkled leaf lettuce sold in the market, so the basket should be bought larger than the basket of regular lettuce, a lettuce plant has more than a pound, a basket can hold eighteen to twenty lettuce, that is to say, you need to buy ten baskets, no, you need twenty, it is impossible to send the vegetables to the restaurant, let them vacate the basket immediately!"

......

Buying baskets and tricycles, Xiao Yong worked hard all afternoon, finally got everything done, and started tomorrow in the early hours of the morning to be a happy food delivery worker.
