Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 341 Paris, Here I Come
Since we are going to participate in the World Food Expo, of course we need to prepare exhibits.In fact, there are many kinds of ingredients for Xiangou Brand now. Various vegetables, eggs, broiler chickens, soft-shelled turtles, saury and truffles in the gourd space, there are already many ingredients that can be exhibited.

However, considering the eating habits of Europeans and Americans, Zhao Lei decided to eliminate soft-shelled turtles and saury, which are hardly eaten by Europeans and Americans, and it would be a waste of effort to bring them to the exhibition.

In addition to these ingredients, Zhao Lei also plans to include cherries as one of the ingredients for the exhibition.Although the cherries are not mature yet, he believes that as long as they are placed in the gourd space where time passes faster, they can still mature before participating in the expo.

The invitation letter sent by the organizing committee clearly stated that the expo is not as simple as just participating in the exhibition, there will also be a review process.

A panel of judges will score the exhibited ingredients, and the ingredient with the highest score will be the champion of this year's expo.Needless to say, everyone knows what it means to be the champion of the Food Expo.This is tantamount to opening a door to the whole world and becoming the focus of food circles all over the world.

Therefore, Zhao Lei also carefully selects the ingredients for the exhibition. Whether it is vegetables, fruits or eggs, he must choose the best-looking and exactly the same size for the exhibition.

As for truffles, the bigger and more regular the appearance, the better.For this reason, Zhao Lei took black beans and soybeans to work in the gourd space for several nights, and finally found a truffle that satisfied him.

In order to ensure that all the exhibited ingredients can be kept in the best condition when they are sent to the booth, Zhao Lei put these ingredients into the gourd space.Nourish these ingredients with the abundant aura in them, not only can keep them fresh for a long time, but also improve the appearance and taste to a higher level.

However, in order to deceive others, Zhao Lei honestly sent another batch of ingredients to Paris through UPS.After all, if Zhao Lei has no import and export records of ingredients at all, it will definitely be a big trouble if he takes so many ingredients to participate in the exhibition and falls into the eyes of caring people.

As an experienced business woman, Song Wanqing provided Zhao Lei with a lot of help and came up with many useful ideas.

Song Wanqing told Zhao Lei that if you are going to Paris to participate in an exhibition and you are not familiar with the place of life, it is best to find someone who is familiar with the local environment and can speak French to go with you, which can save a lot of trouble.

Zhao Lei deeply agreed with this suggestion, and immediately thought that Pierre, the owner of the Red River Bank Western Restaurant, was undoubtedly the best candidate.

So Zhao Lei hurried to the Red River Bank Western Restaurant, avoiding the warm embrace of the Frenchman as usual, and said to him with a smile: "Old Pi, I came to see you today because I have something very good to tell you!"

Pierre asked with great interest: "What a great thing?"

"In view of our long-term and good cooperative relationship, you are still my good friend, so..." Zhao Lei deliberately paused at this point, and then said with a smile on his face: "...I decided to give you ten kilograms of black truffles and five kilograms of truffles. White truffle, how about it, is it good news?"

The Frenchman's expression changed at first, then he quickly frowned and said, "If you need my help, just tell me!"

Zhao Lei was surprised and said, "Damn it, why do you think so?"

"There's an old saying, 'If you don't have to be courteous, you're either rape or steal'." The old God Pierre said: "You money addict, you are so generous, you must ask me!"

Zhao Lei said unexpectedly: "Hey, your Chinese level is good, and you are right. But I really need your help. How about going to Paris with me recently?"

The Frenchman frowned and said, "Why are you going to Paris?"

Zhao Lei handed the printed invitation letter to Pierre, and said triumphantly: "I was invited to participate in this year's Food Expo, and I need a guide and translator. Are you interested?"

Pierre looked at the invitation letter for a long time, and then sighed softly: "The World Ingredient Expo, how many suppliers have worked so hard all their lives are not eligible to participate. How long have you been in this industry, and you have received the invitation letter, what a human Comparing people, you are so angry!"

"It's 'people compare people, make people mad'!" Zhao Lei couldn't help correcting the French guy, then frowned and asked, "Stop expressing emotion, give me a sweet word, and just say whether to go or not!"

Pierre pondered for a moment, then said seriously to Zhao Lei: "I believe that the fairy gourd will definitely make a splash at the Expo, so I decided to go with you to witness this historic moment!"

Zhao Lei really wanted to correct the French guy, it was a blockbuster rather than a blockbuster.But since Pierre agreed to go to France together, Zhao Lei didn't care about these details, but reached out to him and said, "Welcome to the delegation of Xianhu Company!"

In fact, despite Zhao Lei's nice words, in fact, the delegation of Xianhu Company is just him and Pierre.

Song Wanqing really wanted to go to Paris with Zhao Lei, but she was too busy with work and had to avoid suspicion, so she finally gave up on this idea.

A few days later, Zhao Lei and Pierre got on the plane to Paris and officially started their trip to the World Food Expo.

After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, the plane landed safely at Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport.

In a foreign country where one is not familiar with one's life, the benefits of having a familiar local guide are immediately apparent.Speaking proficient French, Pierre quickly called a taxi and took Zhao Lei straight to downtown Paris.

It was a rare visit to Paris, so Zhao Lei decided to spend a bit of extravagance. Before leaving, he booked two rooms at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris.

This hotel has a prime location on the Champs Elysées and Avenue George V.From the terrace of the room, you can see the Eiffel Tower not far away. There is also a Michelin two-star restaurant in the hotel, which is definitely one of the best five-star hotels in Paris.

Of course, this kind of hotel charges a lot of money.But for Zhao Lei today, this expense is nothing, and it is completely affordable.

What's more, this is the first official appearance of Xianhu Company in Europe. It is necessary to make the show bigger, so as to prevent others from despising this newly rising Chinese company.

After resting in the hotel for half a day, Zhao Lei and Pierre started to get busy with participating in the expo.The two had to register with the organizing committee first and report the types of ingredients to be exhibited. Only in this way would the organizer arrange a corresponding booth so that the ingredients brought by Zhao Lei could have a chance to meet the judges and others.

With Pierre's help, Zhao Lei successfully arrived at the location of the Food Expo Organizing Committee.

This is a building that looks very old, full of vicissitudes of history everywhere.Zhao Lei just walked into the hall, and the eyes of others immediately focused on him.
