The Culinary Tycoon

The price of flour has also increased?Also doubled!

Brother Le and Jiabao all looked at Yu Qingze after hearing this.

The matter was so serious that neither of them knew what to do.

The lack of two seafood dishes at the restaurant has little effect, and other new dishes can be used instead, but at the snack bar, flour is the most used. If the price of flour doubles, their cost will undoubtedly be greatly increased. If you increase, you won't make much money.

Yu Qingze frowned and asked Brother Chang: "How much flour is there in the store? How long will it last?"

Brother Chang thought for a while, and replied, "Maybe it can be used for three days."

"Three days..." Yu Qingze walked up and down the room, his mind running fast.

The owner of the flour shop has cooperated with him for a long time, so he will not double the price for no reason. Like the seafood stall owners, he must have been threatened by someone.Fortunately, he sent someone to tell them in advance, instead of waiting for them to deliver the goods in two days before not delivering them directly.Otherwise, they will be even more passive by then.

Brother Chang was very anxious, but seeing that Brother Le and Jiabao were silent, he asked suspiciously, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

Le Geer sighed.

Jia Bao said to Brother Chang: "Brother Chang Chang, the price of shrimp and clams has also increased in the restaurant, and all the seafood vendors in the market have a one-size-fits-all price, and the price of seafood sold to us has doubled. All are normal prices.”

"The seafood has doubled? Are all the vendors like this?" Brother Chang asked in disbelief with his eyes widened.

The supply of seafood here in Tongshan City is not too much. The price of seafood is already very expensive, but now it has doubled, and it is only for them. This is obviously someone deliberately causing trouble.

Jiabao nodded, very angry: "There are not many seafood sellers in the city, and now they can't be bought."

"His grandfather's, who is going to mess with us?!" Brother Chang was so angry that he cursed directly.

Le Geer shook his head, indicating that he still doesn't know.He didn't tell Brother Chang about his guess, because he was afraid that Brother Chang would go directly to someone to settle accounts in a fit of anger.

But he didn't say it, but Brother Chang remembered it by himself.He glanced at Brother Le and said, "Is it Xiangmanyuan?"

Yu Qingze shook his head, and said, "Brother Chang, we can reasonably doubt it when we close the door, but there is no evidence, and we can't talk nonsense when we go out of this door, you understand?"

Hearing this, Brother Chang nodded and said, "I know the seriousness, Boss Yu, don't worry."

Yu Qingze nodded, and then said: "Well, Brother Chang, let Tie Zhu, Er Niu, and your Ah Mo go to the flour shop to buy flour, one person every day, and they go alternately, and only buy three bags a day at most. They are in the kitchen , Most customers don’t know them, and the store owner doesn’t even know them. Let them come in and out through the back door, and after buying them, put them in the house where Xicheng Jiabao lives, and we will ship them to the store at night.”

"Okay." Brother Chang nodded immediately, and then worried: "What if someone recognizes you?"

Yu Qingze said: "Then let someone else go. Let Tie Zhu go in the afternoon today, and I will go to the flour shop to see the situation later."

"Okay. What about the restaurant?" Brother Chang asked again.

Yu Qingze said: "Let other people in the kitchen buy it too. It should last for a few days. In the next few days, I will think of a way. The worst case is to remove these two dishes. The impact on the restaurant is still small. , don’t worry, take care of the snack bar first, don’t tell anyone about this matter except for the few people in the kitchen, so as not to cause panic.”

"Okay, I see, then I'll go back first." After speaking, Brother Chang hurried back.

After Brother Chang left, Yu Qingze said to Jiabao: "Jiabao, go and call Dasong and Dazhi in."

"Okay." Jiabao went out to call for someone, and brought the two of them in together.

Yu Qingze told them about the matter, and then explained: "Later, Dasong will go to the market to buy first, and after half an hour, Dazhi will go again. Dasong will buy [-] catties of shrimp and clams, and Dazhi will buy [-] catties. Clams, buy some other fish, buy one or two of the cheap ones, take a bucket with you, and fill the water from the boss’s basin, where they have sea water. After you buy it, put it in your house, and then come back to the restaurant .”

Dasong and Dazhi nodded, and Yu Qingze told them the price of seafood, and then gave them money, and Dasong went out through the back door with a bucket.

Taking advantage of Dasong to buy seafood, Yu Qingze explained what happened in the shop, and then went to the flour shop.Passing by two other grain and oil stores on the way, Yu Qingze went in and asked, and sure enough, the owners of other grain and oil stores also doubled the prices.

When he arrived at the store that delivered the goods to them, he didn't see the owner of the store, and the guy knew him well, saying that the boss was doing an inventory in the storage room in the backyard, so Yu Qingze went directly to the backyard.

"Boss Kang." Yu Qingze called out from outside.

When Boss Kang heard the words, he poked his head around and saw that it was Yu Qingze who came out and said, "You're here."

Yu Qingze didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Boss Kang, have you been threatened by someone about the price increase?"

Boss Kang sighed, nodded and asked, "Did you offend someone? You are going to be treated like this."

Yu Qingze shook his head, smiled wryly and said: "I open the door to do business honestly, how could I offend anyone, and I don't know who it is."

Boss Kang said: "Maybe your business is so good that it hinders others."

"I thought there was only one possibility." Yu Qingze was helpless, and asked instead: "Boss Kang, I want to ask, who is the person who came to tell you?"

Boss Kang frowned, stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, and said, "Do you want to check?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "I have to know who my opponent is."

Boss Kang looked around, walked over and closed the door leading to the backyard, and pulled Yu Qingze into the storage room, and then said, "That man is a guy from the dock, he just came to deliver a message."

"Then who is the person above him?" Yu Qingze asked.

Boss Kang whispered, "This guy is a lucky man."

"Fortune?" Yu Qingze frowned and asked, "I remember this is a shipping company?"

Boss Kang nodded and said: "At first they only hauled goods for others, but later they did it themselves. They specially transported flour from the north. I don't know where they bought the flour. The quality of the flour brought back by the other company is better. .”

"Do you usually buy goods there?" Yu Qingze asked.

Boss Kang nodded, and said: "Yes, I get all the flour from them. As far as you know, there are only six or seven in the city for the quality of my flour, and they all come from Hongyun. It's from there."

"So that's how it is." Yu Qingze said thoughtfully.

When he was working as a food stall before, he visited all the flour shops in the city, and he understood that, as Boss Kang said, some flour shops were better than others.The two he asked about before coming here were also shops with better flour.

The flour used in his store is of relatively high quality, so the dim sum made is also very delicate, which is why customers like it so much.

But now, they can't use inferior flour instead, the taste is indeed different, and customers can eat it as soon as they eat it, which will affect their reputation.

Boss Kang sighed and said, "Otherwise, why don't you go to another house to see?"

Yu Qingze was his big client, and he felt it was a pity to lose such a big client, but he had no other choice, and he couldn't risk losing the supply of goods for just one client.

Yu Qingze smiled bitterly and said, "Before I came, I stopped in to ask, just like you."

Boss Kang opened his mouth wide and said in surprise, "Is this all?"

Yu Qingze nodded, and then he asked: "Boss Kang, you usually buy goods every few days? When do you go?"

Boss Kang said: "Usually once every five days, in the afternoon and you hour. There will be a boat coming back tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to go and see it?"

Yu Qingze nodded, "I don't know people from Hongyun, so they won't come against me for no reason, I have to check."

"Yes, you go, be careful."

"I see, thank you, Boss Kang." Yu Qingze thanked Boss Kang, and suddenly remembered a question, and asked, "Boss Kang, do you know, besides flour, does Hongyun also do seafood business?"

Boss Kang nodded and replied, "Yes. But it's not a batch of ships. They have two lines. One is dedicated to flour and other grains, and the other is dedicated to seafood. They seem to be shipped from the north."

Hearing this, Yu Qingze understood, and he said, "Thank you, Boss Kang."
