Wang Kui was looking aggressive just now, but he became so pitiful in a blink of an eye, which also let Li Yuan see this guy's ability to change his face. But Li Yuan didn't have the slightest sympathy for Wang Kui, he had seen this kind of person a lot, if he let Wang Kui go this time, this guy would be as arrogant as before when he turned around, and maybe he would take revenge on Li Yuan in turn.
So facing Wang Kui who was pleading hard, Li Yuan's expression did not change at all, and his eyes did not even stay on him. Instead, he smiled faintly at Liu Yuebing next to him and said, "Brother Liu, I'd better send these tomatoes to you first." Go to Xinghualou, it would be bad if it delays your work."
Both Liu Yuebing and Zhang Buwen were sensible people, knowing what Li Yuan said, they just didn't intend to forgive Wang Kui. Liu Yuebing nodded to Zhang Buwen, then said to Li Yuan with a smile, "Okay, I'll go there with you."
"Old Liu, come here often!" Zhang Buwen greeted Liu Yuebing first, and then said coldly to Wang Kui: "Why are you still standing there, go to the financial office to pay the bill!"
At this time, Wang Kui also knew that this matter was irreversible, and he couldn't help but sighed in despair, and his whole body was completely paralyzed. However, Niu Guoqiang and others who took the initiative to provoke Li Yuan did not have good results. After Zhang Buwen returned to the office, he announced to all the staff that Niu Guoqiang and others will not be allowed to enter the market to do business from tomorrow.
For Li Yuan, what happened to Wang Kui, Niu Guoqiang and others was entirely their own fault, and they deserved no sympathy at all. Li Yuan never thought of himself as a gentleman who repays grievances with kindness. If someone offended him, he would of course want revenge. Since Zhang Buwen is acting on his behalf today, how could Li Yuan miss this good opportunity
After leaving the vegetable market, Li Yuan rode a borrowed tricycle to Xinghualou with Liu Yuebing. Xinghualou is located in the old--cheng-- district in the northwest corner of Wuxi City, and it can be regarded as an old-fashioned restaurant with a long history in the city. In recent years, the business of Xinghualou has been getting better and better, and it has gradually become one of the best restaurants in Wuxi City.
In fact, many people in the catering circle of Wuxi City know that the prosperity of Xinghualou's business has a lot to do with Liu Yuebing who is in charge of the kitchen. If he hadn't been in charge of the kitchen of Xinghualou, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Xinghualou to survive, let alone become so popular with diners as it is now.
Because of this, Liu Yuebing's reputation in the catering circle is also growing. Several large restaurants and Chinese restaurants in five-star hotels have sent invitations to Liu Yuebing, hoping that he can work there.
The reason why Liu Yuebing is so famous in the catering circle has a lot to do with his good at discovering new ingredients and finding better ingredients for cooking. And as long as it is the ingredients that Liu Yuebing likes, it will always be accepted by other chefs in the catering circle very quickly.
So now Liu Yuebing fell in love with Li Yuan's tomatoes at a glance, which is definitely a good thing for him, but Li Yuan himself doesn't know it yet.
Although he is the chef of Xinghualou, Liu Yuebing has no airs. He rode an electric scooter to Xinghualou with Li Yuan. The two chatted casually along the way, but they didn't realize how far the road was. It didn't take long before they saw the signboard of Xinghualou.
It was only at this time that Liu Yuebing was a little surprised. He glanced at his watch and said to Li Yuan in admiration: "It only took you more than half an hour to come here by riding a tricycle, which is a little faster than I usually ride a battery car. Your physical strength is really good." !"
Li Yuan knew that this was of course the effect of Jin Zhu, but he just smiled lightly and said: "Brother Liu, you are over-rewarding, I just took advantage of my youth."
While Li Yuan was talking, his hands were not idle, and he took the initiative to help Liu Yuebing move the tomatoes into the kitchen. To Li Yuan
There were already many chefs busy in the kitchen. After seeing Liu Yuebing, they all greeted him and looked at Li Yuan curiously.
It's no wonder that these chefs are so curious about Li Yuan. You must know that Liu Yuebing has strict management of the kitchen, and generally does not allow unrelated people to wait in. And when they learned that Li Yuan was just a tomato seller, they were even more surprised. After all, tomatoes are just a very common ingredient, and everyone was surprised that Chef Labor went to purchase them himself.
Liu Yuebing also saw what his chef was thinking. He called everyone to gather around, took out a few tomatoes and said to everyone: "See, these tomatoes are almost perfect in size, shape and color. At first glance, they look like they are carved from agate." Just like the appearance, there is nothing on the market that can compare with them. Moreover, the taste of this tomato is better than the appearance, and you will know when you try it.”
Having said that, Liu Yuebing paused for a while, and said to a young man, "Xiao Zhao, come and make a white sugar tomato."
Xiao Zhao is the youngest in the kitchen, and he can't be regarded as a chef. He just helps other chefs and does some work such as picking and washing vegetables. He didn't expect to be called to cook by the chef at all, and he was a little nervous while excited. Fortunately, sugar tomatoes are just a very simple cold dish, and Xiao Zhao quickly prepared them.
"Everyone come and taste it." Liu Yuebing greeted others to taste the freshly made sugar tomatoes, with a mysterious smile on his face.
Although the appearance of the tomatoes was very good, everyone didn't pay much attention at first. After all, if it only looks good but tastes bad, it is definitely not a good ingredient. But when everyone tasted the tomatoes, they were all surprised.
An elderly chef couldn't help but praised: "The taste of this tomato is really good, with a moderate sweetness and sourness, sufficient moisture, and an indescribable sweetness. This is definitely the best I have ever tasted. tomatoes!"
Others also nodded, expressing their agreement with the chef. In all honesty, everyone present felt that this tomato was extraordinary, and it was second to none in terms of appearance and taste.
Now everyone finally understands why Chef Liu attaches so much importance to these tomatoes. Not only went to purchase in person, but also made an exception to let Li Yuan, who sells tomatoes, into the kitchen.
Seeing the enlightened expressions of his subordinates, Liu Yuebing also smiled and said, "I'll let you taste the good stuff first. Now go to work. Today is the weekend, and it will be very busy at night. Everyone, work harder!"
The chefs agreed and were ready to work. A few of them grabbed the few slices of tomatoes left on the plate and put them into their mouths before others, and then everyone got busy again amidst laughter and cursing.
And Liu Yuebing called Li Yuan to a corner of the kitchen, first gave him the money to buy tomatoes, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Li, I am a few years older than you, and I am familiar with this business. So I will give you an idea by relying on the old and selling the old." , I wonder if you are interested in listening?"
Of course Li Yuan was willing, expressing that he was happy to listen to Liu Yuebing's opinion.
"Actually, your tomatoes are so good that you don't need to go to the market for retail sales." Liu Yuebing said to Li Yuan seriously: "You can only sell to major hotels and guesthouses, and be a special supplier in these places!"
