Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 670 Goodbye Ramsey

A foreman in a suit and leather shoes stopped Zhao Lei. He did not despise him because of his casual attire at all, and said politely: "Sorry, sir, it is not our business hours yet. If you have reserved a seat, please two Come back in an hour, thanks!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "I'm not here for dinner, I'm here to find someone. Is Gordon Ramsey here?"

Hearing that Zhao Lei mentioned the boss's name, the foreman was also taken aback, and quickly asked him, "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Ramsey?"

"Yes." Zhao Lei nodded and said, "My name is Zhao Lei, Ramsey should remember me."

The foreman hurriedly said to Zhao Lei: "Then I'll ask, please wait a moment."

Not long after, the foreman came back in a hurry, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile on his face, "Mr. Ramsey said he was waiting for you. He is in the kitchen. Please follow me."

The foreman took Zhao Lei to the kitchen of the Giggs restaurant, and just as he walked to the door, Ramsey's signature growl sounded from inside.

The foreman smiled awkwardly at Zhao Lei: "Mr. Ramsey is checking the preparations in the kitchen, so he will be a little excited, don't mind."

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "I know what kind of person he is, so I won't mind."

At this moment, Ramsey in the kitchen yelled, "Jean-Philippe, who are you talking nonsense with outside, who is looking for me? Why hasn't he arrived yet!"

The foreman Jean-Philippe hurriedly shouted: "Chef, he's already here!"

While Ramsay was talking to his foreman, Zhao Lei had already walked into the kitchen.Immediately, Ramsey was seen glaring at his chefs in his snow-white chef uniform, obviously dissatisfied with their work.Zhao Lei even noticed that a female chef's eyes were red, and she was scolded and cried by Ramsey.

Ramsay, who was full of anger, turned his head and saw Zhao Lei. He immediately showed a smile, walked over to shake hands with him and said, "You are late, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Jean-Philippe and the rest of the chefs were taken aback by seeing Chef Angry now.

It's not for nothing that Ramsey gets the nickname Chef Angry.He is simply the tyrant in the kitchen, the nightmare of all chefs, as long as he enters the working state in the kitchen, he is simply disowned.No matter who dissatisfied Ramsey, he would definitely be scolded by him, and if it was serious, he would be kicked out of the kitchen.

However, it is almost unheard of for this young man to make Ramsey so polite to him when he is late, and it is really surprising.

Zhao Lei was not surprised by this. Anyway, Ramsey has always been very polite to him, so he smiled and said: "Sorry, the plane was delayed by an hour, and I came to find you just after I put down my luggage."

Ramsey laughed and said, "Haha, long-distance travel is like this. The most annoying thing is a late plane. Go to my office and sit down!"

Of course Zhao Lei would not refuse, and immediately nodded in agreement.The two walked out of the kitchen while talking and laughing. Others in the kitchen stared dumbfounded at the very kind boss, secretly guessing who this young man was.

Just as Ramsey walked to the kitchen door, he suddenly turned around and yelled, "Why are you just staring blankly, don't you need to work? I'm not here to invite you to watch a show!"

All the chefs were taken aback, and quickly started to get busy, for fear that the boss would stare at them, and it wouldn't be fun to be scolded bloody by him.

Ramsey already knew why Zhao Lei came to New York. When he came to the office, he asked him seriously, "The tasting will start in a few days. Are all the ingredients ready?"

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "My friends have arranged for me. Two hundred Lander geese have been transported to a farm in the outskirts of New York. They will be slaughtered the day before the tasting to ensure the freshness of the ingredients."

Ramsey nodded and said, "This is the best. With the quality of the fairy gourd ingredients, it will definitely shine in this tasting."

Zhao Lei said modestly: "I hope so. I hope that through this tasting, I can successfully introduce foie gras and truffles to the American market."

"There will be absolutely no problem." Ramsay vowed: "I am very familiar with the other judges in the tasting. Unless they have taken drugs, they will never miss such a good ingredient."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "I heard that you are also one of the judges of the tasting meeting. If I meet you now, I won't make any taboos, right?"

Ramsey said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, the judges are only responsible for tasting the ingredients, but they won't know which supplier these ingredients come from, so you can rest assured."

Hearing what Ramsay said, Zhao Lei knew that the tasting meeting was quite fair, so he stopped worrying about it.

In fact, Zhao Lei came to the United States this time, in addition to participating in the food tasting meeting, he also had another purpose, which was to find suitable coffee varieties for the coffee gardens of Dama Farm.

Although Ramsey is a chef, he must know more about coffee than Zhao Lei, so he quickly asked the angry chef: "I plan to grow some coffee. Is there any good coffee variety you recommend to me?"

"I don't know much about coffee." Ramsey said honestly: "The three best coffees in the world are Blue Mountain, Amber and Cat Shit. The first two are grown on the high mountains of Central and South America. Coffee is found in the tropical rain forests of Southeast Asia, but the coffee beans produced need to be eaten by civet cats first, and then the remaining coffee beans are collected from their feces, which is very troublesome to make.”

Speaking of this, Ramsey showed disgust unabashedly, frowned and said to Zhao Lei: "I personally don't like cat poop coffee, God knows what those people think, actually picking things up in cat poop to eat, it's simply It's just inexplicable!"

Zhao Lei is also not very interested in cat poop coffee. First, he really doesn't want to go all over the mountains to pick up cat poop. Second, cat poop coffee also needs to raise civets, which is another troublesome matter.

So without hesitation, Zhao Lei took the cat poop coffee out of the options, focused on Blue Mountain coffee and Hujue coffee, and asked Ramsey several questions.

Ramsey attaches great importance to Zhao Lei as a partner, and always answers his questions, but in the end he seriously reminded Zhao Lei: "The variety of coffee is important, but the growing environment has a greater impact on coffee. If there is no suitable environment, even if No matter how good the coffee variety you have, the final coffee may taste like shit, you must pay attention to this!"

Although Ramsey has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the coffee growing environment, Zhao Lei is not too worried about it.After all, he has purple gold gourd and fairy dew, so he can create the most suitable environment for coffee trees.

Zhao Lei was more concerned about another question, and quickly asked Ramsey seriously: "Can you help me get the seeds of Blue Mountain or Hujue coffee?"
