From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 186 mustard
As soon as this word comes out.

Qin Jianye, who had been looking at Chu Hao all the time, smiled and said, "You girl, you have to discuss business at the dinner table, what's the rush now."

He looked at Chu Hao: "Your store is doing very well. I want to taste it myself if I have the chance."

Chu Hao smiled and said, "If uncle wants to eat, I can make it for you right now."

Qin Jianye waved his hands with a smile: "Today you are a guest and a friend of Yiyi, just sit down."

Yiyi?

Chu Hao glanced at Qin Jiangyi, and whispered, "Is this your nickname? The clothes' clothes?"

Qin Jiangyi blushed and said, "Yi Ren's Yi."

"Oh." Chu Hao suddenly realized, and nodded to her with a half-smile.

Even the little deer didn't know about it, and neither did he.

Qin Jiangyi pinched Chu Hao, telling him to be serious.

Chu Hao was in pain, and only then remembered that he was holding a cup in his hand, took a sip, tasted it carefully, and found some spicy taste.

Well, juniper berry, also called gin, is a foreign wine distilled from barley malt, barley and juniper berries. However, in some countries, it is also brewed with spices such as coriander seeds, cardamom, licorice, and orange peel. It can also be used as a base for cocktails.

The color is transparent, the smell is fragrant, and the taste is very mellow.

This wine is suitable to be used with most meats, such as lamb chops and fish steaks, to accompany meals, but it is even better to be used with cakes, which is a must.

But today's food is beef steak, Chu Hao couldn't help laughing, the big boss of catering is actually not that particular, after thinking about it, he is a businessman, not a gourmet, this is not contradictory.

After thinking about it carefully, it turns out that Gourmet's training series abilities can still be of great help to him.

At least in the past, this thing could not drink anything at all, but because of its slightly spicy taste, it made Chu Hao feel completely different.

But now that he is a gourmet, drinking this kind of wine can actually bring out some taste.

At least it tastes much better than the kind sold in online stores. It is a serious juniper berry.

……

Chatted with Qin Jianye for a while, chatting about family matters.

Chu Hao found that this man was not as lofty as he imagined, he would crack jokes, and the topics of conversation were normal, which made Chu Hao relax. When he first came to Qin Jiangyi's house, Chu Hao was already ready to chat with the Tianlong people ready.

But thinking about it now, these topics were deliberately controlled by Qin Jianye, using his emotional intelligence to calm Chu Hao's nervousness, and talking about the ups and downs that the family experienced when they started their business.

The Qin family started their fortune in Suzhou, but they were famous for their skills and had great skills from the beginning. A time-honored restaurant was passed down from their ancestors and has been in business for hundreds of years. To understand Su cuisine, the Qin family has had three state banquet guests. Masters, one of whom is also the inheritor of Su cuisine.

In the generation of Qin Jianguo, Qin Jianye and Qin Jianyue, they used the reputation, resources, contacts, and money accumulated by their ancestors to start a business. Hehe, it can’t be said that they started from scratch, but they are also in the same line. Now in the old Qin family in Suzhou, there is one who is currently working as a hall in Shangjing The chef of the dish is serving as the executive chef.

The Qin family is still relatively advanced, running education, training chefs, expanding the group, and involved in the entire catering industry upstream and downstream. It can be said that it is the domestic catering overlord.

Compared with Qin Jianye's family, Qin Jiangyi, who worked independently, seemed a bit petty.

Qin Jianye was not an intellectual, but because of his life experience, he had also experienced some stories. While Chu Hao listened, the wine in the cup was slowly drained.

When it was time for dinner, the three of them came to the table, and Qin Jianye introduced the gray-haired old man to Chu Hao.

"This is Lu Tianyun, master Lu, who is now serving as the general consultant in his hometown Suzhou. His apprentices include two masters of Taiwanese cuisine. Now he is serving as a consultant for Suzhou cuisine in the school. The master chef is 68 this year and is still innovating."

Lu Tianyun said with a smile: "I know you. After returning to the mountain city, an old friend called me and talked about you."

"Ah?" Chu Hao was taken aback.

"Who are Zhong Chenglin and Shen Yuhai?"

Chu Hao suddenly said: "We are friends since the New Year. The old man likes my barbecue."

Lu Tianyun nodded, and said: "Mr. Qin, then I won't disturb your family reunion. Lao Zhong told me to go over and catch up with him."

Qin Jianye nodded and personally sent Lu Tianyun away.

Chu Hao looked at Qin Jiangyi from the side, "Family reunion?"

Qin Jiangyi turned her face away and said nothing, as if she was avoiding something.

Chu Hao: ...

He pressed it a few more times.

Qin Jiangyi hesitated and ignored.

When Qin Jianye came back, the steak had already cooled down. He picked up the knife and fork and took a bite. He said happily: "Mr. Lu's grilled steak is a masterpiece. It combines many things, from the East and the West...Master Chu, Do you know where barbecue originated?"

Chu Hao scratched his head, and had no choice but to say sternly: "To be honest, the origin of barbecue has a long history. If humans started using fire, it has a history of 170 million years."

Qin Jianye laughed and said: "Our food cooking generally goes through four stages: fire cooking, stone cooking, water cooking, and oil cooking. The so-called fire cooking is barbecue, and it is also the most primitive cooking method. The cooking techniques of barbecue are similar. The cultural attribute of barbecue is the original taste of the material contained in it, and the rebellion against the usual diet in the vulgar and instant food. So far, there are only two ways of operating barbecue restaurants. The first is the barbecue that still maintains the streets and alleys, and the second is the restaurant-style intensive barbecue.”

Chu Hao admitted: "The scene of roasting and eating at the bonfire, the alluring aroma and joyful atmosphere are irresistible to people."

Qin Jianye: "I heard from Yiyi that you have unique insights into barbecue. Do you have a teacher?"

"No." Chu Hao shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "In terms of craftsmanship, my dad can be regarded as half of my master. I learned most of it from myself. My dad mainly provided me with vision. , layout, and some ideas about food.”

Qin Jianye ate the steak and listened to him with great interest.

Chu Hao gritted his teeth and said bravely: "He only taught me that opening a store must not only have a good taste, but also have the power to make customers stay. He has traveled all over the country before, and what he has seen and heard is that everyone opens a store this way. , using the same method and management method. Of course, I really don’t know much about management. Thanks to Qin Jiangyi’s help, I can get to where I am today. Now we divide work and cooperate, and I am responsible for the taste and ingredients of the baked goods. Guaranteed to accumulate word of mouth, she is in charge of marketing, on this basis to expand customer flow for the store and make more money."

Qin Jianye nodded: "I am very optimistic about you, don't let me down."

Chu Hao glanced at Qin Jiangyi.

She looked directly at her father with a smile, but seemed to be avoiding Chu Hao's eyes.

Oh shit……

been pitted.

This Qin Jianye obviously regarded himself as his son-in-law.

What does Qin Jiangyi mean?

Chu Hao was a little angry.

However, he was actually a little happy to be tricked by Qin Jiangyi.

To put it more simply, Qin Jiangyi's family background, background, resources, knowledge, and structure are all very good. Bringing him here, acting in front of the elders, and meeting the parents is actually a kind of trust and respect for him, Chu Hao.

So this kind of secret joy surfaced in Chu Hao's heart for no reason.

Of course...sometimes, people's thoughts cannot be controlled, but their behavior must be controlled.

Chu Hao is still very sensible.

I plan to accompany Qin Jiangyi to finish the scene, and then ask her why she did this.

Qin Jiangyi made up her mind and obviously had the courage to bring Chu Hao.

Didn't say anything in advance.

So although the two had a conscious and eye contact, they both understood something in their hearts.

Seeing Qin Jiangyi's slightly evasive and aggrieved eyes.

After all, Chu Hao's heart softened.

Hehe... I see how you explained to Xiao Luzi afterwards, cheating on your girlfriend's husband?It's too gutsy.

After chatting for a while, Qin Jianye might feel that the time is almost here, so he said seriously: "I see you this time. In addition to getting to know you, uncle also wants to cooperate with you."

Chu Hao was stunned: "Cooperation? What uncle means is..."

"I heard from Yiyi that you are going to open a branch, right?"

Chu Hao looked at Qin Jiangyi, and instead of avoiding him, she started to wink at him.

Chu Hao nodded blankly.

"Uncle invests in you in his own name. Whether the new store is short of people or money, I can fully support you. Yiyi wants you to become a brick-and-mortar barbecue tycoon in Shancheng, but she is not strong enough alone, so she asked me here."

Chu Hao sighed.

"How many shares does uncle want?" He asked directly.

"I don't want the stock. You just give it to Yiyi. Treat her well. She will help you wholeheartedly. On this point, she has no selfishness. Uncle can assure you."

how to say.

Chu Hao's mood is very complicated now.

On the one hand, he expressed admiration for Qin Jianye's attitude.

The boss of such a big group has such trust and support for him, an ordinary person, and he doesn't mean to look down on him at all. Moreover, he talks about things with him so solemnly, to a certain extent, it exceeds Chu Hao's imagination.

Second, Qin Jiangyi's performance made Chu Hao puzzled.

Was she purposeful?In order to invite her father out of the mountain, he turned her into his girlfriend in name, today's so-called 'family dinner' made Chu Hao feel like chewing wax, and suddenly felt that the steak was not very tasty.

But in all of this, Chu Hao believed that Qin Jiangyi's starting point was friendly.

If she really had a purpose, then the barbecue shop might not be her own long ago.

Chu Hao was able to understand clearly, knowing what level he was, his morality was still much shallower than Qin Jiangyi's.

He couldn't compare with Qin Jiangyi, because his experience of growing up was completely different from his own. If it wasn't for the system, Chu Hao wouldn't be able to reach his current level.

Brick and mortar BBQ tycoon?
Chu Hao felt very ridiculous about this title, with complicated emotions, including gratitude, displeasure, ecstasy, and helplessness...

This is a show of affection from the Qin family.

But Chu Hao didn't want to cause trouble.

He has now been recognized by Qin Jianye, but if things are revealed in the future, what will the Qin family do to him?

Qin Jiangyi and Qin Jianye are always father and daughter. She can lie to her father, but I can't.

So Chu Hao shook his head and said, "I refuse."

I refuse these three words completely stupefied Qin Jiangyi. She was still winking at Chu Hao just now, but he pretended not to see it.

Only Qin Jianye remained calm as before, and said with a smile, "Why?"

Chu Hao: "Qin Jiangyi has helped me a lot. I can no longer take her resources. Even if I want to take them, I will borrow them. I understand my uncle's kindness. I will let her take more shares later. She is in this As a matter of fact, the credit is no less than mine, and it is the joint efforts of me and her that this store can achieve to this point, we are indispensable."

Qin Jianye put down the knife and fork, thought for a while, and said, "Xiao Chu, don't think too much, uncle has no malicious intentions, and neither does Yiyi. Chu Shi barbecue is a demonstration in today's mountain city, and uncle's first investment is just the first to support you. Step, afterward, Uncle will make Chu Shi BBQ a name card of the mountain city, which will save you a lot of detours and save a lot of time."

Chu Hao smiled and said: "Why do you want to save time? Uncle, I'm not in a hurry to do something. I admit that the purpose of opening a store is to make money from the beginning, but now I have some insights and want to make this store a reality." Well, we have to take one step at a time, thank you very much for your help, but with Qin Jiangyi watching by my side, I am content, I am a good friend and a good comrade-in-arms with her."

Qin Jianye glanced at Qin Jiangyi with a half-smile.

Seeing her blushing face lowering her head to eat steak, she said with a smile, "Forget it, since that's the case, uncle won't force others, but if you have any troubles that you can't handle in the future, you can call uncle directly."

"It's natural." Chu Hao smiled peacefully.

The voice just fell.

He felt Qin Jiangyi pinch his thigh under the tablecloth.

Chu Hao was angry and squeezed her little hand.

Qin Jiangyi twitched twice before retracting.

Chu Hao had resentment, how could Qin Jiangyi not see it?

In Chu Hao's mind, this was actually a deception. He might be worried, would there be a second or third time for this deception?

Therefore, after the meal, some grudges arose between the two of them.

Chu Hao didn't stay long, and was about to leave after eating.

Qin Jiangyi arranged for a driver and wanted to see him off in person, but Chu Hao did not refuse.

……

In the car, the two looked out of their windows silently. The scenery of Tianhu Island is beautiful. It is now evening. Many people come out for a walk and walk their dogs. comfortable.

Qin Jiangyi pursed her lips, and pulled Chu Hao's sleeve aggrievedly.

Chu Hao glanced at her and said with a smile, "Why?"

Qin Jiangyi lowered his head and said, "Are you angry?"

Chu Hao: "No."

Qin Jiangyi: "This matter, it's more complicated. When I look back... I want to talk to you in detail."

Maybe because there was a driver in the car, she was embarrassed to say more.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Talk in detail? You go to Xiao Lu to talk in detail. You have explained clearly to her, and let's talk about it in detail, and we can talk in detail."

Okay.

She knew that Chu Hao was really angry.

So he took a deep breath and called Lu Chenyu directly.

Chu Hao was taken aback when he saw this, "What are you doing?"

Qin Jiangyi ignored him, waited for the call to connect, and said directly: "Xiaolu, Chu Hao is next to me, he invited me to play at your house, is it okay?"

Chu Hao: ...

Numb, really.
