The Culinary Tycoon

When Jia Xiaoren arrived at home, Boss Hongyun was checking accounts with the manager in the study. Seeing Jia Xiaoren coming in with a gloomy face, he felt a sudden in his heart and asked: "Xiaoren, why are you here now? Isn't this the last time in the restaurant?" When you are busy?"

Jia Xiaoren took a look at the steward, and the steward immediately went out first.

"Come on, what happened?" The round-faced boss took a sip of tea from his teacup to hide his nervousness, and then asked hesitantly.

Jia Xiaoren walked to the desk, looked at his uncle, and said, "Uncle, didn't you make it clear to the people in the grain and oil store and the seafood stall?"

The round-faced boss asked, "What's the matter? I told them."

"Yu Ji's snack bars and restaurants are not affected, seafood is still being sold, and the quality of dim sum has not decreased." Jia Xiaoren propped himself on the table, looking down at the round-faced boss.

"Huh? Seafood is also on sale?" The round-faced boss was really puzzled.

The snack bar was not affected, and the round-faced boss could understand that when Yu Qingze bought eight packets of flour from them, it might not have been used up.

But how can there be seafood?

These few times he was watching the shipment at the pier, Yu Qingze didn't come to buy flour or seafood.The seafood stall owner who purchased from him did not sell to Yu Qingze, he asked them about it.

Where did the seafood come from?

When Jia Xiaoren heard his uncle's words, he frowned, and asked: "Uncle, do you know that their snack bar has no problem with dim sum?"

The round-faced boss was startled, and said, "No, didn't you just say that?"

The round-faced boss knows that his son can't see clearly about his business and connections. In recent years, it is precisely because of his eldest son that his family has gradually gained a firm foothold in Tongshan. Therefore, after his son's analysis before, he Now I dare not disobey my son.Before the elder son left, he was urged to never mind Jia Xiaoren's affairs, and he didn't want his family to be troubled in Tongshan in the future, so he quickly denied it.

Jia Xiaoren frowned and looked at his uncle, his uncle had always been soft-tempered, that's why he came to him, just to forgive him for not daring not to help him.

"Uncle, you didn't coax me, did you?" Jia Xiaoren asked.

"How could I coax you, we really didn't sell seafood to Yu Qingze." The round-faced boss took another sip of tea after speaking.

"Then where did they buy it?"

"I don't know about that." The round-faced boss replied, "It's most likely bought at the market. Maybe some bosses don't know Yu Qingze?"

"Didn't he often go to the vegetable market before? Didn't he know him..." Jia Xiaoren paused, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of the problem, and he immediately said: "I see, uncle, I'll go back first .”

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

The round-faced boss opened his mouth, but withdrew his outstretched hand.Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

After returning home, Jia Xiaoren called a waiter from the shop, told him a few words, asked him to go to the seafood stalls in the vegetable market to inquire about the situation, and then squatted down to see if there were guys from Jufulou to buy seafood.The grain and oil stores were too scattered to squat, so I had to go to the market.

This Xiao Er has been to Jufulou to buy vegetables, and has met many of the guys in Jufulou. Last time, he also met the kitchen guy with an excuse. It is most suitable for him to go.

Jia Xiaoren also realized now that the owner of the seafood stall grain and oil store may know Yu Qingze, but it is impossible for him to know the guys in his store.It is entirely possible for him, Yu Qingze, to ask his buddy to buy it, and he doesn't need to show up at all.

Xiao Er got the order and nodded and went out.

Yu Ji, these days, buying flour and seafood has been carefully fighting wits and courage, barely making the snack bar operate normally, and the seafood in the restaurant is also being supplied normally, but they feel that there is always a knife hanging over their heads, and they still can’t completely. Relieved.

That night, Zhao Yu, the young master of the Zhao Mansion, invited a few bosses who had business dealings with him to Jufulou for dinner, and talked about things by the way.

"Master Zhao, Liao Shishu, Hu Shishu, you are here, the Cuizhu Pavilion is ready, please go upstairs." Jia Bao was helping at the counter, saw a few acquaintances, and stepped forward to greet the guests.

"Hey, Jiabao, aren't you in the kitchen today?" Young Master Zhao patted Jiabao on the shoulder and asked.

Jia Bao shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother and brother-in-law are cooking today, I'm lazy."

"Hahaha, did your brother-in-law bring you out again?" Master Liao joked.Once when they came over, they saw Le Geer drag Jiabao out of the kitchen with one hand and not let him in, let him rest.

Jiabao smiled embarrassedly: "It's all because I'm not strong enough, and the cooking can only take half an hour."

In fact, Jiabao has gained a lot of stature by eating and drinking well this year, but he has always been very thin, he has not gained much muscle, his arms are not strong enough, and if the cooking time is too long, he will not be able to do well.

"Hahaha, just practice more. By the way, if Boss Yu is the cook, then we should order some delicious dishes with wine! Jiabao, let the guy serve a pot of champion red first, big one, I want to have a good time with you, Uncle Hu Have a good drink!" Master Liao said heartily.

Jiabao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, you guys go up first, order food with the guy first, and I'll let someone serve the wine."

A group of people walked upstairs, Hu Dangjia smiled and said, "There are so many people here, how come I'm the only one caught?"

Master Liao laughed, and said: "They can't drink me, only you can drink a few more glasses with me!"

"..."

Jiabao went to the kitchen and told Yu Qingze that the masters had arrived.

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "Go up and tell them that if they want to drink Zhuangyuanhong, it's better not to order seafood. It's not good to eat together. I remember that Mr. Hu likes shrimp very much, and Master Zhao likes clams. Remember to tell them .”

Jiabao nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiabao carried the champion red in his arms and went up, and told what Yu Qingze had told him.

When Master Hu heard this, he immediately said: "That's just right, don't drink, I came here just to eat shrimp."

Mr. Liao immediately quit, and said: "How can I do it? Come here without drinking, what does it look like? Isn't it in vain to be blinded by the delicious food here? You can eat shrimp anytime, so just come and eat again next time if you don't drink. , wine, must drink today!"

When Jiabao heard this, his heart moved immediately, and he said, "Uncle Liao, the seafood in our store may not be available in the future, and it may be withdrawn whenever it is said." The largest shipping in Tongshan City - Huihai Shipping.

Upon hearing this, Master Hu immediately frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Isn't it selling well? How do you withdraw it?"

Young Master Zhao especially loves stir-fried clams, so he immediately asked, "Yes, I remember that many people love to eat these two seafood dishes. They are quite popular dishes in your restaurant. Why don't you make them?"

Jiabao sighed, and said: "We can't buy seafood in the market now, and all the seafood stalls have doubled the price for us in Jufulou. The shrimp and clams we sell now are all obtained with great difficulty. Yes, sneaking around every day, like a thief. At first we suggested that if we can’t get the ingredients, we should just change to other dishes, but the eldest brother thinks that the guests love to eat and can’t let the guests down, so he persisted But if it goes on for a long time, it is not a solution, if it is exposed one day, we will not be able to get the ingredients."

Everyone in the room was surprised when they heard this.

"Aiming at double the price of Jufulu Building? What do you mean?" Master Liao asked with a frown.

Others also looked at Jiabao.

Jia Bao scratched his head in frustration, looked at the crowd, sighed, and said, "Brother won't let me talk about this."

Young Master Zhao said: "Say it quickly, don't fool us. If you had a solution, you wouldn't have said it just now."

"That's right, just tell me, everyone here belongs to your uncles and uncles. If there is any problem, we will find a solution for you. It was not easy for Boss Yu to open a restaurant, so we have a good fortune. Tell us what's going on." Master Liao said.

Jia Bao glanced at everyone, and then said: "Then don't tell my eldest brother, he will talk about me."

"All right, all right, tell me." Master Liao waved his hand.

Jiabao sighed, and said, "Our Jufulou may have offended someone. All the seafood vendors in the market have doubled their prices for our Jufulou, and the price given to others is the normal price. Seafood is inherently expensive. This doubled, we would have to lose money."

"Is there such a thing?" Young Master Zhao frowned, and asked again: "How long has this happened?"

Jiabao replied: "It's like this in November, and the price suddenly increased. We don't know what happened. Not only seafood, but also the flour shop we buy from. The price has increased by two times."

"The price of flour has also increased?" Master Liao asked in surprise.

Jiabao nodded, and said, "The flour our snack bar uses is the best kind, and there are only a few in the whole city that sell it, and those few have all raised their prices against us."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Mr. Hu asked, "It's been ten days?"

Jiabao nodded.

"Then how do you buy flour, shrimp and clams now? Just buy them at their prices?" Master Hu asked with a frown.

Jia Bao shook his head and said, "The stall owners know the elder brother, but they don't know the guys in the store. We just let the two guys who rarely show up in front of the customers take turns to buy, and that's how we managed to survive."

Master Liao asked, "You don't know who you offended? What did those street vendors say?"

Jiabao replied: "I don't know who offended. We do business according to our duties. Brother asked the vendor owners who worked with him before. They seem to have been threatened. If they sell to us, they will not be able to get the goods in the future."

Master Liao immediately said: "Old Hu, I remember that the only one who brought back the seafood was the family?"

Master Hu nodded and said, "Yes, only Hongyun makes seafood."

Master Liao asked Jiabao again, "Where did you buy your flour?"

Jiabao replied, "It's at the Kangji Grain and Oil Store, just east of the city."

"Is there any grudge between Hongyun Shipping and Jufulou?"

Jia Bao shook his head and said, "We don't know anyone in the fleet, and we don't usually have any business dealings."

"Then we have to check it carefully." Young Master Zhao knocked on the table and said, "Otherwise we may not be able to eat the good dim sum at the snack bar and the seafood at Jufulou in the future."

Hu Dangjia said: "It needs to be investigated. I will send someone to look at the Hongyun side. Lao Liao, you are well informed there, you go and investigate the matter behind."

"Okay." Master Liao nodded, then turned to Jiabao and said, "Jiabao, go and do your work first, let's investigate this matter first, and let you know if we have any news."

Jiabao nodded and said: "Then thank you all uncles and uncles first, and thank you, Young Master Zhao."

With that said, Jiabao put Zhuangyuanhong down and went down.

When Jiabao left, Master Hu shook his head and said with a smile: "You kid, Jiabao, has also learned how to play tricks on us."

Another head asked: "Did Boss Yu teach him to say it? Ever since I knew Jiabao, I thought he was an honest boy. When Mr. Cai introduced us to him, he was just shy and easy to meet people. children."

Young Master Zhao shook his head and said, "Probably not. With Boss Yu's personality, he would go directly to the Cai Mansion or tell us that he would not let Jia Bao come to the fore. It is estimated that Jia Bao heard Liao Shishu say that he would come to eat shrimp later, and said it impromptuly." .”

Master Liao laughed, and said indifferently: "In business, he used to be easily bullied. Isn't it just right now? It shows that he has made progress."

Master Hu smiled and said: "I guess there is really no other way. It's been more than ten days, and it's not easy to support it until now."

"So, what do you guys think, let's intervene in this matter?" Master Liao asked.

Master Hu glanced at him angrily, and said, "You've let your words out, and now you're asking me a fart!"

"Hahaha..." Master Liao laughed loudly, and said, "I'm not thinking about you guys who love seafood. If it disappears in the future, I won't be affected. I like meat, hahaha..."

Everyone upstairs was discussing things, Jiabao went downstairs and hurried to the kitchen, whispered this matter to Yu Qingze's ear, and when it was over, he asked worriedly: "My brain got hot, thinking that they might be able to help I was busy, so I said it on impulse. Brother, will you be okay?"

After hearing this, Yu Qingze was stunned for a moment, then patted Jiabao on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "It's okay, maybe they can really help us. It's just Jiabao, when did you learn such... a smart way? "I originally wanted to say cunning, but I changed the word temporarily.

Yu Qingze didn't know whether to be happy or worried, would a good, honest and well-behaved child be spoiled by him?

Jia Bao scratched his head and said, "I think I can help my elder brother and brother-in-law more."

Yu Qingze patted him on the shoulder, and told him: "Remember, if you need to ask Mr. Liao, Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhao and the others for help in the future, just say it directly, without beating around the bush. Your little cleverness is not worth it in front of them." It is worth mentioning that they have been through the mall for a long time and have seen countless people, so they must have seen it. It is better to ask directly and sincerely as a junior."

When Jiabao heard this, he immediately regretted it, and said: "Then should I go up now and pay them a gift?"

"There's no need to go up here now. I'll cook a big dish later. If you serve it up, this dish will be considered as a gift for them. Just take the opportunity to say a few more words." Yu Qingze said.

"Then should we free them from this meal? They said they would check it out for us." Jiabao said again.

Yu Qingze shook his head and said: "No, as the saying goes, people are soft-spoken, and if we give them free bills now, doesn't that mean they must check for us? They help us out of affection, and if they don't help, it's their duty, it doesn't matter. If They really went to investigate, and no matter whether the matter is gone or not, whether it has helped us or not, we will hold another table to thank them, which is better."

When Jiabao heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "I understand."
