Feng Yifan took his three apprentices to the freight station to pick up a batch of overseas ingredients that he had specially ordered before.

Among them are top-notch beef from abroad, as well as some sea fish delivered from the cold chain.

Of course, some of them were fresh seafood sent from the river fish breeding base that Catherine, Hans and Tom had found in China.

It can be said that such a batch of goods contains a variety of very distinctive ingredients from home and abroad.

Not only various meats, but also some fresh vegetables and some dried mushrooms.

While driving, Feng Yifan and Ma Xiaolong also briefly introduced such a large number of ingredients to Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng.

I didn't order a lot at once because we are not yet sure how the business will be after the restaurant opens for the night. The current batch of ingredients should be enough for the restaurant to last three to five days.

Ning Cheng asked curiously: Master, if it can only be used for three to five days, wouldn't it be too little?

Ma Xiaolong immediately helped to explain: It's quite a lot. You have to understand that there are many ingredients that cannot be stored for a long time, so three to five days can be considered the limit. When we were in Perovance, the ingredients were very large. Most of them are very fresh and are supplied from a dedicated cold chain every day.”

Feng Yifan immediately interrupted: Can you please stop mentioning Perovance? You have to understand that we have left there now.

Ma Xiaolong quickly said: Okay, Master.

Lin Ruifeng asked: Master, do we also need to find a professional cold chain supplier?

Feng Yifan shook his head and said: There is no rush for now. We will use this batch first. Next week I will meet with several cold chain transportation companies and finally finalize one for our future supply.

Ma Xiaolong still couldn't help but said: Master, if the ingredients are always purchased in small quantities like this, the cost may increase a lot.

Feng Yifan nodded and said: I know this, so I have asked my senior sister to help contact me to see if there are restaurants in Shanghai or provincial capitals that need the same ingredients and are willing to share supply channels with us, so that we can piece it together , which can reduce a lot of costs.”

Ma Xiaolong thought for a while and said, Master, actually you can come forward on your own.

United with Perovance.

Feng Yifan looked at Ma Xiaolong through the rearview mirror.

Facing the master's gaze, Ma Xiaolong had to lower his head immediately.

But Feng Yifan then said: Well, this is also a way. After our trial opening, I will talk to Rodney alone about this matter.

The supply of ingredients is often something that a high-end restaurant must pay attention to.

If there are no suitable supply channels, purchasing ingredients may become a difficulty for the restaurant, and the restaurant may even be unable to operate well because the ingredients purchased are too expensive.

For domestic ingredients alone, Feng Yifan can obtain suitable channels through his parents and market bosses.

However, there are many ingredients in Western restaurants that need to be purchased from abroad.

Those ingredients may not be suitable substitutes domestically.

Therefore, a complete supply chain can be regarded as a headache for Feng Yifan during this period.

In fact, the batch of ingredients delivered this time was ordered directly from abroad by Feng Yifan through some foreign relationships, and then he found a cold chain transportation company to transport them specifically to Huaicheng.

But then, it is impossible for Feng Yifan's Western restaurant to purchase like this every time.

Originally, Feng Yifan planned to invite some foreign friends to this trial opening, including some foreign food suppliers, and he wanted to discuss purchasing matters with them.

But now, after listening to Ma Xiaolong's advice, Feng Yifan felt that bundling purchases with Perovance was a good choice.

However, whether it can be successful or not depends on the outcome of negotiations with Rodney and the manager of the Perovance restaurant.

A group of people arrived at the freight station. Although it was still very early, the freight station was already very busy. All kinds of goods sent from various places were stored here and were being distributed in various ways to be sent to various parts of the city. Districts and counties, and then further delivery.

Feng Yifan and the others drove directly inside and arrived at a parking lot inside the freight station.

When he saw Feng Yifan's car, a man immediately waved.

Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng were all a little surprised when they saw the person clearly.

The three people exclaimed in unison: It's Zhang Qiang.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, Yes, it's Zhang Qiang. He helped find the cold chain truck this time. It's also the car of one of his friends. He just happened to be pulling goods, so he brought our things over.

The three apprentices were really surprised when they heard this.

Zhang Qiang waited for Feng Yifan to park the car, and then came up to him and said, Brother, you guys came quite early. I also said that you have to wait for a while, or if you don't have time, I will send it to you.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, I can't always let you give it away. Anyway, we will open tomorrow, and today is all about preparations.

Seeing Zhang Qiang, Lin Ruifeng and the other three also greeted him.

Zhang Qiang's attitude towards Lin Ruifeng was quite enthusiastic, but he only responded blandly to Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng.

This was completely different from his attitude towards Feng Yifan.

The three of them didn't quite understand, but it was hard to ask in person.

Zhang Qiang led Feng Yifan and the others inside, directly to the back of the cold chain truck.

There are two people waiting here as well.

Zhang Qiang introduced Feng Yifan: Brother, these two are my friends, brothers Niu Ling and Niu Feng.

The two brothers also took the initiative to shake hands with Feng Yifan and say hello.

Hello, Chef Feng, we two brothers have been famous for a long time.

Feng Yifan responded with a smile: What a big name, it's just a false name. I really want to thank you brothers this time for helping me bring this batch of things back.

Brother Niu Ling said: You're welcome, we are also on the way.

Niu Feng then said: Chef Feng, my brother and I heard from Zhang Qiang that you should need a cold chain to transport ingredients in the future. If you really need it, our brothers' cars can sign an agreement with you to help you transportation.

Feng Yifan immediately cheered after hearing this: Okay, it would be great if you two brothers can help.

Then Feng Yifan discussed the price issue with the two brothers.

The two brothers were quite cheerful and were willing to pay Feng Yifan for a single shipment.

Feng Yifan thinks this is appropriate: Well, that's good. We are a small restaurant after all, so we can't transport too many at one time. After I reach an agreement with the supplier, I will let them send it to a freight distribution center every time. In this way, you brothers can help me get back at once.

The Niu brothers immediately agreed: No problem.

After the discussion, the Niu brothers opened the carriage, and Feng Yifan called three apprentices to move all the things out of the car and stack them in the pockets at the back of the car.

Xiaolong, please pay attention. The seafood and river fresh food are placed at the bottom, and then the vegetables and meat are on top. Do you understand?

Ma Xiaolong immediately agreed: I know the master.

As Ning Cheng moved the things along, he couldn't help but ask Ma Xiaolong: Brother, why do you put seafood and river fresh food down there?

Ma Xiaolong said: It's very simple, because seafood and freshwater are usually sealed to ensure freshness, and there is a layer of ice. They are not afraid of being crushed when placed underneath. As long as they are stacked neatly, other things can be piled on top.

Lin Ruifeng also added: Also because they are protected by ice, fresh vegetables can be kept fresh when placed on them. Otherwise, in this hot weather, the vegetables will not be fresh if they are slightly exposed to the sun. .”

Ning Cheng also learned something from his two senior brothers.

After everything was piled up, Feng Yifan also gave the money to the Niu brothers.

Then he and Zhang Qiang drove away together.

On the way back, Zhang Qiang still shouted from across the car: Brother, when you sign the contract later, you tell me and I can ask the Niu brothers to make another concession on the price for you.

Feng Yifan smiled and shouted: No, the price they gave is already very suitable. When the time comes, you will come together and I will treat you to my restaurant for a meal as a thank you.

Zhang Qiang quickly said: Brother, there's no need to be so polite.

Feng Yifan shouted: I said you're welcome, are you still polite to me?

Zhang Qiang had no choice but to shout: Okay, I will definitely go.

After separating from Zhang Qiang, Feng Yifan drove back to the ancient street with his apprentices.

Stopping at the intersection of the ancient street, Ma Xiaolong and Lin Ruifeng hurried back to get the cart, while Ning Cheng followed his master to unload the goods.

When Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong came back, everyone else came with them, even the little figure Feng Ruoruo.

Feng Ruoruo ran over and rushed directly in front of his father.

Dad, look at my clothes, do they look good?

Feng Yifan quickly put down what he was holding, then pulled his daughter aside and looked at her daughter's clothes carefully.

This dress was specially made by Shen Qingluo for Feng Ruoruo. It goes very well with the layout of Su Ji, which is about to open. The traditional Chinese clothes have a little bit of the feeling of an ancient shopkeeper.

Feng Yifan looked at it and smiled and said: Very good, our Ruoruo is now ready to be the shopkeeper.

Feng Ruoruo smiled happily at first and even spun around in front of her father.

But then, the little girl suddenly thought that she didn't seem to understand what a shopkeeper was.

She immediately took her father's hand and asked, Dad, what is the shopkeeper?

Feng Yifan knelt down and explained to his daughter seriously: The shopkeeper? He is the one who specializes in calculating accounts and collecting money. He is considered the person in charge of the accounts in the restaurant.

Feng Ruoruo immediately said: That's not right, mom is the shopkeeper.

Feng Yifan laughed: Yes, mom is the shopkeeper, but let's do this, mom is the big shopkeeper, and our Ruoruo is the little shopkeeper, okay?

Feng Ruoruo nodded and said, Okay, okay.

At this time, everyone had unloaded the things from the car and loaded them on several specially pulled carts.

Feng Ruoruo saw a lot of things piled on those flat carts, and took her father's hand and asked, Dad, what are those?

Feng Yifan pulled his daughter and said, Those are the things that are used for cooking.

Feng Ruoruo was a little surprised: Wow, Dad, do you want to use so many things to cook?

Feng Yifan said: Yes, because the restaurant will open tomorrow, so we need to prepare a lot of things.

Feng Ruoruo asked again: Dad, will anyone come to eat tomorrow?

Feng Yifan replied: Of course, dad invited many people to eat.

Feng Ruoruo asked strangely: Dad, aren't you going to open tomorrow? Why do you still invite people to eat? Dad, won't you make money by inviting others?

Feng Yifan laughed: Hahaha, you little money addict.

After laughing, Feng Yifan carried his daughter into the car and sat down, then explained to her daughter: Tomorrow is the first time the restaurant is open, so dad wants to invite some close friends to come over and taste it, such as great-grandpa Ah, and your two great-grandfathers, as well as Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, are all invited to eat.

Feng Ruoruo said: Yes, I want to invite Xixi and Feifei to eat.

Feng Yifan then said: Yes, I want to invite Xixi and Feifei, and invite everyone to come and eat. Try dad's food. If you think it's delicious, let everyone help dad promote it, so that we can attract more customers to eat. , right?”

Feng Ruoruo immediately said: Dad, Ruoruo will also help you promote it.

Feng Yifan smiled and responded: Okay, Dad, thank you Ruoruo.

Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, You're welcome.

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and everyone brought all the goods back to the restaurant in batches.

Then Feng Yifan asked Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo to pack their things. He was going to drive the two of them to the station. They were going to Lin Ruifeng's sister's house today.

When Feng Ruoruo heard that her father was sending Uncle Xiao Lin and Sister Xiao Shen off, she also clamored to go with them.

Lin Ruifeng originally didn't want his master to send him off: Master, Qing Luo and I can take a taxi.

Feng Yifan was very determined: What's wrong? Are you still blaming Master for letting you go to your sister's place to celebrate the festival? Wouldn't it be more convenient for Master to send you there? Stop being so nagging, hurry up and load your things into the car, and let's go.

Feng Ruoruo was sitting in the car and shouted: Uncle Xiao Lin, hurry up, sister Xiao Shen, get in the car, let's sit together.

Lin Ruifeng had no choice but to agree to his master and carry his luggage into the car.

After getting in the car, Shen Qingluo held Ruoruo and sat in the back seat, while Lin Ruifeng sat in the front passenger seat.

On the way to see them off, Feng Yifan also told his apprentice: Since Xiao Shen has gone home with you, you must take good care of them and not bully Xiao Shen. Do you understand?

Lin Ruifeng agreed: Master, I know.

Feng Ruoruo sat in Sister Shen's arms and asked: Sister Shen, why do you want to celebrate the festival with Uncle Xiao Lin? Why don't you stay and celebrate the festival with us?

Before Shen Qingluo could speak, Feng Yifan said, Because Sister Xiao Shen is in love with Uncle Xiao Lin, they are going to spend the holidays together at Uncle Xiao Lin's and sister's house, which is your Aunt Yanmei's house.

Feng Ruoruo suddenly understood: Hey, Dad, is Sister Shen the wife of Uncle Xiao Lin?

This sentence amused everyone in the car, and Shen Qingluo was also a little embarrassed.

Feng Yifan said: It's not the case now. Whether it will be the case in the future depends on whether your uncle Xiao Lin works hard or not.

Lin Ruifeng immediately turned around and said, I will definitely work hard.

These words made Shen Qingluo even more embarrassed and could only be said in anger: Don't talk nonsense, Ruoruo is still here.
