Super Zoo

After leaving Zhao Yun's house, there was another person in the car: Zhao Yun.

That divine meat required six of his tentacles. Zhao Yun's heart was bleeding. According to him, it was not divine meat at all, but his meat! So he had to taste it himself before he could be satisfied.

Su Ming was a perfectionist and obsessive-compulsive person sometimes. Since he had obtained four kinds of raw materials, he began to think about the problem of wild shad.

"I advise you not to waste your thoughts. Without a group, there can be no individuals."

Zhao Yun sat in the back of the car, fiddling with his fishing rod. Anyway, they were going to Huayin County. The old otaku not only wanted to eat, but also planned to go to the river with Su Ming to play, so he prepared a few fishing rods and went fishing on the river tomorrow.

"I always feel a little bit of a pity." Su Ming also knew in his heart that wild shad was not a matter of "you can meet but not seek", but it was simply unavailable. In the past two years, every time shad is found in the Yangtze River, it will attract some attention, but without exception, it is finally proved that it is either artificially cultivated or a close relative of the Yangtze River shad.

"The pure wild Yangtze River shad was declared functionally extinct 20 years ago. Instead of looking for shad, it is better to look for knife fish. Although knife fish is also rare, you can still catch a few kilograms every year. I heard that knife fish will be banned in a year or two."

This time Zhao Yun went fishing for the last knife fish. The wild knife fish on the market costs several thousand yuan per kilogram when it is expensive, and several hundred yuan when it is cheap. Moreover, there is no market for it, and you can't buy it even if you have money. Zhao Yun specially consulted a fishing expert among his friends and prepared a large basin of knife fish bait at home.

Speaking of fishing, it is more exciting to go fishing in the Yellow River. The Yellow River is very turbulent, and there are special large carps in the Yellow River. If you are lucky, you may catch a large carp weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms. Such a large wild Yellow River carp is impossible for one person to catch. It is not uncommon for several experts to take turns holding the rod and fish for dozens of hours. It is absolutely exciting.

After a while, they returned to Huayin County, and the group had some lunch at Lao Gu's house. After seeing the Overlord Turtle, Zhao Yun sighed again, saying that the last time he saw such a big turtle was when he was seven or eight years old. Once there was a flood, a large four-legged turtle floated out of the river. The whole village worshipped it as a river god for a week. He was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he and two friends secretly got it out in the middle of the night and killed it for meat. After being discovered, he was driven out of the village and has been wandering ever since.

"Uncle, calm down!" Su Ming saw that Zhao Yun was about to suffer from a second-year syndrome, so he quickly pulled him out of his memories and handed him a pack of isatis root seriously: "Don't stop taking the medicine!"

After resting for most of the day, the overlord turtle not only healed its wounds, but also recovered its spirit. Lao Gu put a bucket of fish on a stool not far from the water tank. The overlord turtle saw it and lay down in the big water tank, supported by one hind leg, stretched its neck, and always wanted to crawl out to eat fish.

"Or, go to the river tomorrow and take it with you?" Su Ming pointed at the overlord turtle's head with chopsticks.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Before Zhao Yun and the others said anything, the overlord turtle seemed to understand, turned its head and stared at Su Ming with two small black eyes, and its pointed nose twitched.

"If you can train the old turtle to be like an osprey, it will be amazing. Put it in the river, and we can just wait for it to catch fish." Zhao Yun also said jokingly.

The Overlord Turtle jumped twice in the big box, as if to echo Zhao Yun's words, proving that it was willing to be a free laborer.

"How is it possible!" Nangong Huang muttered on the side, "That's called letting the tiger go back to the mountain, it must have escaped!"

The Overlord Turtle turned its head to Nangong Huang again, looking at him fiercely.

It was just a few jokes, but it gave Su Ming an inspiration, and he used his mental power to communicate with the Overlord Turtle for a while.

The Overlord Turtle really wanted to go back to the river to play. In the river, as long as it didn't encounter humans, it was almost invincible.

"Then it's a deal, I'll take you to play tomorrow, don't run!" Su Ming laughed.

When he returned to the zoo, he originally planned to take the alligator turtle to the river to play, but the alligator turtle was now too big to fit in the car. The alligator turtle was used to drinking water from the lake and basking in the sun, and was lazy and didn't want to move, so he gave up.

After dinner, they drove to a breeding base not far away and ordered artificially bred shad. Even artificially bred shad is a rare species, with very few in number, only a dozen acres of water area, and not for sale to the public. It was only after Su Ming revealed his identity as a zoo and proposed to buy one back to the zoo for research that they agreed, and they could not buy it individually. The minimum purchase is five kilograms...

Su Ming was carrying a plastic bag worth 20,000 yuan, which contained five kilograms of artificially bred shad that looked like big crucian carp. "Okay, leave a big one for Master Hong to cook, and we will share the rest."

After a lot of hard work, they finally managed to get all the ingredients together. Go to the hotel to find Ding Danu and ask her how she prepared.

Ding Danu was meeting with two secretaries in the room. When she saw Su Ming coming in, she waved her hand like a queen, asked the two secretaries to go out first, and then glanced at the plastic bags in Su Ming's hand with the eyes of a liar.

"You're kidding me, right?" Ding Danniu looked at her watch. It had been less than ten hours since she gave the recipe to Su Ming.

It's not that she looked down on Su Ming, but it's impossible for anyone to gather these raw materials in such a short time. This is not a matter of money. No matter how rich Su Ming is, even if his net worth is ten or a hundred times more than it is now, he still has to rely on luck to get some food.

And the plastic bags in Su Ming's hand were torn and stained with dirt and grass. They didn't look like high-quality ingredients at all. They looked like an old lady who just came back from the town's farmers' market.

"Boss Ding, your time is precious. Am I just an unemployed vagrant..."

Su Ming still felt a little guilty when he said this. They are both doing business. Look at Ding Jing. She came out to attend the meeting with two assistant secretaries. When she had some time in the hotel, she would arrange the next work. As for me, all I do is eat, drink and have fun, or flirt with girls or be flirted with by girls...

It's all Zhao Yun's fault! Su Ming felt that he had been in contact with Zhao Yun for a long time, and he seemed to be starting to follow Zhao Yun's route in doing business. To put it nicely, it's called strategizing and commanding. To put it bluntly, it's just a hands-off manager.

Ding Jing opened the plastic bags one by one with great doubts.

Hundred-fruit wine... This is Su Ming's signature industry, as expected.

Yangtze River shad... Ding Jing sighed helplessly. Although she is not a top chef, she has a solid foundation as a chef and is an expert in the catering industry. This fat shad has too neat scales on its body and is slightly white. It can be seen at a glance that it is indeed a shad, but it is artificially cultivated.

It's better than nothing.

"Well, this is... Morel?" Seeing a bunch of morels like honeycombs growing on a large pile of mud in the dirtiest plastic bag, Ding Jing's expression finally became a little serious.

She gently pinched the morel with her fingers, then put the morel under her nose to smell the smell, and finally even pinched a small piece of morel with her long fingernails and put it in her mouth to chew.

"Hey, Mr. Ding, this is inappropriate!" Su Ming was speechless. He had agreed to cook for Hong Feifei, but she ate it first!

"Woo..." After tasting the taste, Ding Jing did not swallow it. Instead, she spit out the chewed morels in her mouth and wrapped them in toilet paper, threw them into the trash can, and then asked seriously: "Mr. Su, how many morels like this do you have? We, Cyclamen, will buy them at a high price!"

"Hehehe..." Su Ming looked at Ding Jing and laughed, but did not speak.

Ding Jing was stunned, and then realized that her question was too stupid.

Su Ming will also open a restaurant in the future. If he has such top-quality ingredients, of course he will give priority to the Zoo Restaurant. Why would he sell it to Cyclamen?

"If you have more in the future, please contact me. The price I give you will definitely satisfy you." Ding Jing was still a little bit unwilling to give up. She took out a business card and gave it to Su Ming. In addition to being a seasoning for various dishes, morels are also the best for vegetarian dishes. There is a small store under the Xiankelai Catering Group that specializes in high-end vegetarian dishes. It is normal for a table of vegetarian dishes to cost tens of thousands.

"Okay." Su Ming nodded as if to deal with it, and put away the business card.

Ding Jing's mind was a little distracted by the morels, and she opened the last bag casually.

In the bag, there was a soft, yellow, fat-like "big fat meat".

Ding Jing took out a small knife that looked very sharp, just like a magic trick...

Su Ming was shocked: "What are you doing!"

Ding Jing looked at Su Ming in confusion and said casually: "As a woman, is it strange for me to carry an eyebrow razor?"

After that, the small knife slid lightly on the surface of the Tai Sui meat, and a smooth cut appeared immediately. The eyebrow razor was indeed extremely sharp. I don't understand how these women dare to use this thing to scratch their faces. How much courage does it take? Anyway, Su Ming doesn't dare.

"It only has lines, but no tendons or blood. It is both a plant and an animal." Ding Jing threw the used eyebrow razor into the trash can, raised her head, and said to Su Ming with a smile: "It is indeed a genuine Tai Sui. Mr. Su, I didn't expect that you have so many ways. In just half a day, you can even find Tai Sui. It seems that I underestimated you before. Maybe in the near future, Cyclamen will have a strong competitor."

Looking at Ding Jing's expression, Su Ming knew something was wrong.

Women's words can't be trusted at all!

What did this woman say in the morning, 'No matter how well your zoo's restaurant is doing, Cyclamen also has a way to survive', it sounds like it's enough to make people give a thumbs up and say 'admiration'.

It seems that Ding Da Niu didn't take herself and the zoo's future restaurant seriously at that time, and she was just bragging. It's like a multi-millionaire generously telling a little beggar, if you beg for food, maybe one day in the future, you can be as rich as me.

Now that she had gathered all the ingredients in a short time, Ding Daniu realized that the Zoo Hotel might really threaten the strength of Xiankelai, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and started to speak unpleasantly.

"Boss Ding, I'm not saying that you women are too narrow-minded, but are you afraid of gathering together when doing business? Is there any point in scaring me like this? Besides, you threw away your knife..."

Su Ming repacked the ingredients on the table and asked: "If you are OK, I will give these things to Hong Feifei?"

Speaking of Hong Feifei, Ding Jing's expression changed again, nodded, and called the assistant to contact the hotel kitchen, and put them together with the food prepared by Su Ming in the kitchen's fresh-keeping facilities.
