The group of people coming out of the poultry shop included Xu Ming who bumped into Feng Yifan, the bald man named "Xu Liang" who was Xu Ming's brother, and another person named "Bao Tong".
Feng Yifan and they became acquainted with each other through fighting.
Feng Yifan asked Shi Jiahui and Catherine to take the three little girls in to buy things, and he chatted with the three people for a while at the door.
After chatting, Feng Yifan finally figured out the identities of the three people.
It turned out that these three people, the brothers Xu Liang and Xu Ming, set up a breeding farm, and Bao Tong was also a partner of the two brothers.
The three people's farm specializes in raising various poultry, including pigeons, pheasants, and even rabbits.
The three of them chatted with Feng Yifan for a while.
Feng Yifan could still understand what they meant from their words.
"I see. So you three want to do business directly with me, right? You want to deliver the goods to my Su Ji?"
Xu Ming couldn't hold his temper and immediately added, "Chef Feng, and your Ruo Restaurant."
As the eldest brother, Xu Liang pulled his younger brother aside and said to Feng Yifan with a smile, "Apologize to you again. It was my younger brother who bumped into you just now. We didn't have such a big appetite at the beginning. We just thought that we could supply your Su Ji first. If you think it's appropriate, then we can supply your Ruo Restaurant."
Xu Liang still has some understanding of the catering industry.
He knew very well that Western restaurants like Ruo Restaurant usually purchased goods directly from suppliers and would not normally purchase from the market separately.
Therefore, he was very clear that the various ingredients in the restaurant must have fixed suppliers.
If Feng Yifan were to rashly change their family, it would probably put them in a difficult position.
After all, those suppliers who can get the supply to Ruo Restaurant must be able to satisfy Feng Yifan in terms of quality, and they will also give Feng Yifan a reasonable price.
For these two points, even if Xu Liang and his colleagues are confident in all aspects of their farm, they cannot guarantee that they can defeat others.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, whether it's Su Ji or Ruo Restaurant, except for some vegetables, most of the ingredients are supplied to us by fixed suppliers."
Then Feng Yifan pointed to his daughters who were looking at various animals in the shop.
"As you can see, I came here to satisfy my daughters' curiosity. I brought them here to have a look. There aren't many things that we actually want to buy from here."
Hearing this, I saw three little girls happily looking at chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, pheasants and rabbits in the shop.
Xu Liang, Xu Ming and Zhang Tong also understood everything.
Just when Xu Liang was about to say "excuse me".
Feng Yifan suddenly added: "However, for things like pigeons and pheasants, we don't have very good suppliers."
After hearing this, Feng Yifan didn't wait for him to continue.
Xu Ming lost his temper and said, "Chef Feng, you can rest assured that the quality of our farm is absolutely guaranteed. We feed them natural feed, and our pigeons and pheasants are free-range, not locked in fixed cages."
Xu Liang and Zhang Tong were a little amused when they saw Xu Ming interrupting again.
After Xu Liang waited for his brother to finish speaking, he also took the initiative to apologize to Feng Yifan.
"I'm sorry, Chef Feng, my brother is impatient and you are his idol, so he feels that it is an absolute honor for him to be able to supply goods to his idol. That's why he really wants to get the order in your hand and supply goods to your Su Ji."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, Su Ji is not mine. Su Ji was passed down from my father-in-law's family."
Xu Ming couldn't help but say, "I know, I know. I've seen the introduction on TV. Su Ji was passed down from your father-in-law's family. Your father-in-law's father was once a state banquet chef, and he was the kind of person who could be a state banquet chef's teacher. At that time, Su Ji was even a training base."
Feng Yifan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
But to be honest, Xu Ming was not wrong. When his wife's grandfather was alive, Su Ji was indeed a training base. At that time, many chefs for state banquets were sent to Su Ji for training.
Of course, on the surface, Mr. Su Quansheng only has eleven apprentices, including his son.
However, if we really count all those commissioned chefs, the old man's disciples can be said to be famous all over the world. Many chefs who are currently in charge of state banquets have received guidance from the old man.
Out of admiration for Feng Yifan, Xu Ming also conducted a lot of research on Su Ji.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "That was in the past. Now Su Ji is just an insignificant little restaurant."
Xu Liang said: "Chef Feng, you are too modest. Su Ji may have been lonely before, but with you, Su Ji will definitely become more and more prosperous, and its reputation is already very loud now."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "How about this, you leave me your phone number and address, and I'll find time to have someone go take a look. If the things in your breeding base really meet the requirements, I can consider purchasing from you."
After receiving such an answer, the three of them laughed with great satisfaction.
Xu Ming took out his business card and handed it to Feng Yifan very seriously.
After Feng Yifan accepted it, Xu Liang took out a pen and paper and wrote a number of phone numbers and another address for Feng Yifan.
"Chef Feng, this is our specific address. The address on the business card may be some distance away, but it can be found. The phone number is my cell phone number, and the phone number on the business card is our farm's."
Hearing his elder brother's words, Xu Ming couldn't help but say, "Then Chef Feng, I'll write down my phone number as well."
Without waiting for Feng Yifan's consent, Xu Ming quickly wrote his cell phone number on his brother's paper.
When handing over the paper, Xu Ming said very seriously: "You can call my cell phone number at any time. I promise I will answer it 24 hours a day."
Xu Ming's series of actions really made Feng Yifan laugh and cry.
"Okay, I get it. You don't have to wait for my call. I should have someone contact you, and then someone will go to your place for an on-site inspection. As long as it meets the requirements, we will definitely purchase your products. This will also save the middleman."
Xu Liang said, "Yes, yes, Chef Feng, you have said so much. We look forward to your visit."
After chatting with the three people for a few more minutes, I finally let them leave with peace of mind.
Feng Yifan looked at the note and business card in his hand, then at the backs of the three people walking away. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He really didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing.
At this time Feng Yifan looked again and found that the three little girls had not come out yet.
He walked into the shop and saw three little girls squatting in front of a cage, looking at something and whispering about something.
Feng Yifan moved closer and saw that they were actually two small cages, one containing chicks and the other containing ducklings.
Seeing the three little girls huddled together and whispering to each other, Feng Yifan probably guessed what they were discussing.
After standing behind the girls for a while, Feng Yifan asked, "What are you three doing?"
Hearing the voice, the three little girls immediately stood up, turned around and threw themselves into Feng Yifan's arms.
Feng Ruoruo said first: "Dad, let's discuss whether we want chickens or ducklings. Aunt Jiahui said that we can only raise one."
Feng Yifan had actually guessed it before. It should be Shi Jiahui and Catherine who wanted to buy chicks or ducklings for the children.
Little girl, or this kind of small animal has little resistance.
Especially since Feng Ruoruo had also raised a duckling before, although she returned it later.
But obviously, the three little girls are still thinking about it.
So when they came in and saw that the boss had chicks and ducklings, the three little girls came up to look at them and they were completely unwilling to get up and leave.
Shi Jiahui and Catherine finally agreed, and they could choose one to buy.
Feng Yifan was a little surprised at this time. He looked at the shop owner and asked, "Boss, why do you have chicks and ducklings here? They are so small that they can't be used for cooking. Could it be that some hotel specially purchased them?"
Hearing this, the boss smiled and said, "No, Chef Feng, these are not for cooking. They are prepared to be sold. They are temporarily placed here for me to help watch over. I didn't expect your daughters to see them. If your daughters really like them, they can take one home. It's okay."
After the boss said this, Feng Yifan finally understood.
These were originally intended to be sold to children.
Because some children like to raise these chickens and ducklings, some people see this market and plan to get a batch to sell to the children to raise at home.
Feng Yifan asked: "Boss, have all these little creatures been vaccinated?"
The boss said, "Don't worry, Chef Feng. They have all been vaccinated. Otherwise, I wouldn't let my friends leave them here. And they are all very clean. Also, if your daughter gets tired of playing with them, you can send them to me and I can send them back to someone else to raise them."
At this point, the boss added, "Of course, you can't kill it, and you can't break it."
Feng Yifan also understood that these chicks and ducklings were mostly sold to children, who would probably only play with them for a few days after bringing them home, and might not raise them at all until they grew up.
And I'm afraid most of them will die soon after returning home. Children really can't raise this thing.
But the boss obviously also thought of it, so his friend contacted him, which is to ask the children he bought home to be sent back, and the boss would gather them and send them back to be raised.
Of course, the one sent back cannot be dead or injured.
In addition, even if you return it to the boss, he will not refund the money.
However, the method used by the boss and his friend can preserve the lives of these chicks and ducklings to the greatest extent possible.
Yang Xiaoxi then took Father Feng's hand and said, "Father Feng, can you help us choose? We don't know which one to choose. We want a duckling, but a chicken is cute too."
Feng Yifan said to the three little girls very seriously: "Before buying, we have to make it clear that you may not be able to take it home to raise it. You can only raise it in Uncle Xiaolin's yard, just like Tiantian."
Feng Ruoruo immediately asked: "Dad, why can't you take it home?"
Feng Yifan said, "Because there is no place to keep it at home. You, Xixi, and Feifei all live upstairs. It would be very inconvenient to keep it upstairs, and it would also make the house dirty and smelly. Do you want to smell the stinky smell you just smelled as soon as you get home?"
When asked this question, the three little girls immediately shook their heads and said, "No."
Feng Yifan continued, "So if I buy it back, I can only keep it in Uncle Xiaolin's yard."
This time the three little girls nodded in agreement.
Feng Yifan continued, "Secondly, since you have bought them, you have to feed them yourself. You have to feed them every day and take good care of them. Can you do it?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi was the first to say, "Yes, Xixi can do it."
Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei also shouted: "Yes."
Feng Yifan nodded with satisfaction when he heard this: "Okay, since you can raise one yourself, then you can buy one and take it home. However, you can only choose one each, but you can each choose the same thing, so that you can raise two together."
Hearing this, Chen Yaofei was the first to understand.
"Yes, Ruoruo, Xixi, we can buy different ones. For example, Ruoruo you can buy chicks and Xixi can buy ducklings. This way, when we raise them together, we will have both chicks and ducklings."
Shi Jiahui suddenly said, "Then you three can just buy two. You three can raise them together anyway, so just buy a chicken and a duck."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie is right. If you three raise them together, then buy one for each of you and we'll buy two. That way you'll have both a chick and a duck. How about that?"
After a brief discussion among the three little girls, they actually agreed to Shi Jiahui's proposal.
The boss was determined not to take the money: "Chef Feng, you only need two. They are really worthless. You can take them back without paying."
Feng Yifan was also very persistent: "Boss, if you don't want money, then we can't have these two."
Feng Ruoruo stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes, you have to charge for it, otherwise we don't want it."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "You have to pay for things."
Chen Yaofei said: "We can't take the things we bought without paying."
Seeing that Feng Yifan was very persistent and the three little girls had explained things very clearly, the boss finally collected some symbolic money.
After buying the chicks and ducklings, Feng Yifan also bought a few processed pigeons from the boss.
I bought the pigeons so that I could add a dish to my restaurant when I get back.
The boss got a clean cardboard box and put the chicks and ducklings in it. Then three little girls, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, held them together and stared at them as they walked.
Feng Yifan saw it and said, "How about this, Senior Sister, you and Catherine take the children out first and wait in the parking lot. I'll go find Xiaolin, Xiaoma, and Xiaoning, and pick up the goods from Uncle Zhang. We'll meet up in the parking lot."
Shi Jiahui and Catherine also agreed, and led three little girls who were surrounding the boxes of chicks and ducks, and walked to the parking lot outside the market.
