Chapter 1025: 3 Places to Pick up Goods, 1 Word "Big"

,

Watching the car drive into the goods yard, Shi Tao asked a little strangely: "Three senior brothers, why don't we go to the vegetable market to purchase instead of coming to this kind of goods yard?"

Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "That's because some of the ingredients we will use for tomorrow's three-head banquet are not available in the local vegetable market."

Lin Ruifeng gave a detailed explanation again: "Master specially found some domestic and foreign food suppliers and purchased a batch of very top-quality food ingredients. Basically, they were shipped directly from the place of origin, in order to make tomorrow's three-head There is enough lavishness for the banquet.”

Shi Tao was a little surprised when he heard this: "You have purchased top-quality ingredients from home and abroad? And they are all purchased from the country of origin? Doesn't this cost a lot of money?"

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "That's for sure."

Shi Tao then asked: "But I heard that the three-head banquet is not free?"

Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng all laughed after hearing this.

Lin Ruifeng asked, "What? Do you think Master made the three-head banquet to make money?"

Ma Xiaolong asked: "Do you think our Su Ji He Ruo restaurant is not making money? Do you want to rely on gimmicks like the Three Head Banquet to make a wave of money?"

When Shi Tao heard what Ma Xiaolong said, he quickly explained: "No, no, senior brother, I didn't mean that."

Lin Ruifeng smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaolong, don't scare Shi Tao."

Ning Cheng said from the side: "Let me tell you, the daily turnover of Su Ji and Ruo's restaurant is not low, and they are not short of money for this three-head banquet."

Shi Tao nodded and said, "I know this. I've also seen it abroad. The reservations at Su Ji and Ruo restaurants are in the thousands. I know they are indeed making money."

Lin Ruifeng said: "What you see are the private room reservations on the second floor of Suji and the set menu prices of Ruo restaurant. Those are really not the key. In fact, Master said that those orders are not the main place to make money. We Su Kee mainly relies on its small profits but quick turnover of noodles at noon and the large number of customers on the first floor at night.”

Ning Cheng said: "Also, the desserts in Ruo Restaurant have very high sales volume every day."

Shi Tao asked out of curiosity: "Will the restaurant sell desserts separately?"

Ma Xiaolong said: "Of course we will not sell desserts separately. If the desserts sold in the restaurant,

It is usually an extra part of the kitchen that day, and is not specially made to sell. Moreover, the desserts in the restaurant can only be purchased when the restaurant is open at night. "

After hearing this, Shi Tao couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Master has so many rules."

Hearing this, Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng couldn't help but laugh again.

Lin Ruifeng said: "Do you think there are many rules? But it is precisely because Master has set so many rules that makes Su Ji He Ruo Restaurant unique, and these rules put an end to some attempts to use Su Ji He Ruo Restaurant as a People who make secondary profits.”

Seeing that Shi Tao was a little confused, Ning Cheng explained: "To put it simply, when it first opened, there were a lot of scalpers vying to book seats in Ruo Restaurant and then resell it."

When Shi Tao heard this, he immediately understood.

The reason why Feng Yifan set various rules is to put an end to those second-rate dealers.

Of course, it also enhances the status of Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant.

While showing others a lot of rules, it also uses very fine dishes and desserts, as well as very considerate services, to make those guests sitting at Su Ji Heruo restaurant feel a certain sense of superiority.

The customer may not necessarily be rich, but being able to have a meal at Su Ji He Ruo Restaurant will give people the feeling that even if I don’t have the money to go to a more upscale restaurant, I can taste food that is even more delicious than top restaurants. , this sense of superiority is also the reason why many people book seats and queue up.

Of course, Feng Yifan also tries his best to control costs, and most of the ingredients are made from domestic ingredients.

This saves a lot of costs. At the same time, Feng Yifan can rely on his cooking skills to make up for some gaps in ingredients, which will not give the guests a bad feeling.

But as Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng said, in fact, the most profitable part of Suji is still the noodles at noon.

This is mainly because there are too many people coming to buy noodles at noon.

Dinner dishes are often difficult to pack, but lunch noodles are very convenient to pack.

In particular, Feng Yifan specially purchased suitable packaging boxes.

Noodles, soups, and various toppings can be packaged and stored separately.

Customers who buy it back can mix it together and eat it directly after returning home. Even if they cannot eat it immediately, they can put it for a period of time and heat it slightly in a microwave or the like before eating it, as long as the soup, noodles, and toppings are not mixed in advance. Together, there is almost no difference in taste.

As a result, Su Ji's noon noodles are able to sell a lot of noodles every day.

It has also become the main focus of Su Ji’s real business of small profits but quick turnover.

Shi Tao thought for a while and asked curiously: "Then if you make a lot of noodles every day, will it affect the improvement of your cooking skills?"

When Ma Xiaolong heard this, he said: "It's exactly the opposite of what you think. You have to know how dazzling Su Ji's noodle toppings are? It can be said that those toppings combine various ingredients from all over the world, and also include cuisines from all over the world. The taste and making the toppings are a great test of your cooking skills.”

Ning Cheng said, "Shi Tao, you may not know that I am not qualified to make toppings yet."

Ma Xiaolong smiled and said, "Don't tell me, our senior brother also has some toppings that we can't make."

Lin Ruifeng also smiled bitterly after hearing this, but he couldn't argue with anything.

Seeing that Lin Ruifeng did not argue, Ma Xiaolong said again: "Brother, don't be angry, I was just joking. Actually, if you work harder, senior brother, I believe there will be more opportunities soon, but Ning Cheng is afraid that next time, maybe I will be arranged by Master to serve as a waiter."

When Shi Tao heard this, he was a little surprised to see Ning Cheng also looking helpless.

"Why does Senior Brother Ning still go to the waiter?"

Ning Cheng did not let Ma Xiaolong help answer, but said himself: "The main reason is that the master feels that I still need to continue to practice knife skills. I am not qualified at all to be a stove, so he hopes that I will go to the running hall to practice again, so the master said that after New Year's Day I also want to go to the waiter."

Lin Ruifeng said: "Master arranged this for Ning Cheng's good."

Ning Cheng said: "I know, I actually want to go. In the kitchen, I am indeed increasingly unable to get involved."

When Shi Tao heard the words of the three senior brothers, he also deeply felt the terror of Su Ji's chef.

Unlike the chefs in other hotels and restaurants, Suji's chefs really need to be of extremely high standards, otherwise they may not even have the chance to cook the noodle toppings at noon.

But in this way, it only strengthened Shi Tao's intention to learn cooking in Suji.

While several people were chatting, Feng Yifan at the front was getting a little impatient.

"How long do you guys want to chat? I asked you to come out together to let you chat over there, right? I don't know what we are here for?"

Hearing Feng Yifan's urging, the four of them hurried over and kept up the pace without daring to say a word, and walked together into the goods yard.

Many people in the goods yard would take the initiative to say hello to Feng Yifan when they saw him.

Shi Tao could tell that most people in the goods yard knew Feng Yifan.

And he seemed to be familiar with Su Ji and the others at Ruo Restaurant.

Some people also waved hello to Hans and Tom.

Someone even offered cigarettes to Hans and Tom.

However, in front of Feng Yifan, although the two of them accepted cigarettes, they obviously did not dare to smoke.

After going deep into the goods yard, we finally came to a huge cold storage.

Feng Yifan shouted to the people in front of the cold storage door: "Hey, are all the goods in there?"

The people guarding the door of the cold storage quickly ran out to greet Feng Yifan when they saw him.

"Chef Feng, you are here, don't worry, all the things you ordered have been sent from last night to this morning, and they are all in the cold storage. They are guaranteed to be fresh, and we are definitely No one has touched it and the packaging is intact.”

After hearing this, Feng Yifan said: "Take out the things and take a look."

The other party also opened the cold storage, and then Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong, Hans, and Tom went in to check it out.

After confirming that there was no problem, the four people also directly carried part of the goods out of the cold storage.

"Master, there is no problem if everything is complete."

Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, let's load the things into the car."

This time Shi Tao also joined in, and together they moved the goods in the cold storage into two cars.

Seeing the pile of boxes stacked on the car, Shi Tao was also a little surprised: "Wow, there are so many?"

Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "There are a lot of good things here, including top-quality Wagyu beef from abroad, as well as very good abalone and sea cucumbers from China. They are really hard goods. These are also the main ingredients we will use tomorrow. Of course There are also some top domestic and foreign condiments.”

After listening to Ma Xiaolong's introduction, Shi Tao was really surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many types of ingredients.

The two cars pulled the goods and left the goods yard, and then did not return to Suji.

Instead, the group of people rushed directly to another place.

After waiting, not to mention Shi Tao, even Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng were a little unfamiliar. Hans and Tom got out of the car and said they didn't know where they were?

Feng Yifan led everyone into the courtyard of a bungalow.

"Brother, are you at home? I'm here to get the goods."

After Feng Yifan shouted, a strong man with a beard walked out of the room.

"Chef Feng, you are finally here. If you don't come again, I won't know what to do with the things inside."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Sorry, let's go to the cargo yard to pick up the goods first."

The strong man continued: "The three pigs inside have been taken care of. Do you want to take them back directly now?"

Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, pull them all back together."

The strong man said: "Okay, then I will carry it out for you."

The strong man returned to the house and soon came out carrying two pigs.

At this time, everyone who came with Feng Yifan finally understood that Feng Yifan was here to pull the pork back.

All three pigs have been slaughtered and cleaned.

The strong man was obviously well prepared, including all kinds of internal organs.

Of course, what shocked everyone present the most was the complete three big pig heads.

Feng Yifan saw the pig head and said with a smile: "Great, these three heads are simply great."

The strong man also smiled and said: "Hahaha, it's because you, Chef Feng, said hello in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to get such a complete pig head. Now, after most pigs are slaughtered, the pig head has to be divided. , it’s really hard to buy a complete one.”

At this time, everyone realized that Feng Yifan had already made arrangements for the three-head banquet.

Usually you can't buy a complete pig head when you go to a meat factory or a meat stall.

Because pig heads are usually cut into pieces, such as the nose and ears, which are sold separately.

The more important thing is the pig brain, which will also be taken away in advance and sold separately.

Then things like pig tongues will be separated.

This time, Feng Yifan specifically contacted the butcher and got three very complete pig heads.

Everyone was still shocked when the three pig heads were put into the car.

Finally it was covered with canvas.

After everything was loaded into the car, Feng Yifan smiled and said to the butcher: "Thank you so much, brother."

The strong man smiled and said: "Hahaha, Chef Feng, you're welcome. If you need anything, you can speak. I promise to make it clean for you."

Feng Yifan also directly extended an invitation: "Tomorrow is the Gujie Suji Santou Banquet. Please come and support me when you have time."

The other party was not polite: "Okay, let's go together to support Chef Feng then."

Then Feng Yifan and others drove away from here.

The last stop of the day was still back to the farmer’s market, with a very clear goal: an aquatic product shop.

This time the boss prepared three fresh and equally large silver carps for Feng Yifan.

Seeing three fish once again shocked Shi Tao.

"Oh my god, is this fish so big?"

Feng Yifan said with a smile: "Hahaha, it's nothing. I used to have one weighing hundreds of pounds, but the three of mine only weigh more than thirty pounds."

The owner of the seafood shop said: "Chef Feng, these three items have taken me a lot of effort. Please don't ask for heavier ones. I'm afraid I really can't help you."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, boss, don't worry, these three are enough. If it gets bigger, I'm afraid I'll have to go to those winter fishing places in Chagan Lake to make a three-head feast."

After settling the accounts with the fishery boss, Feng Yifan also asked his apprentices to take the fish away.

After passing three places, I finally got all the ingredients.

On the way back, Feng Yifan also smiled and asked Shi Tao, who was riding with him on the way back, "How was it? Was this trip interesting? Did Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng teach you anything?"

Shi Tao said: "Uncle, the three senior brothers have really taught me a lot."

Feng Yifan added: "That's okay, but you should also be careful. The three of them are not good people. In Su Ji, you must be careful not to fall into their trap."

Shi Tao asked curiously: "Uncle Master, will they set a trap for me?"

Feng Yifan shook his head and said: "I can't say it now. Anyway, I can only remind you to be careful."

Shi Tao immediately became alert after hearing this.

By the time Feng Yifan and his party returned to Su Ji, the three little girls Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei had finished school and had been picked up from the kindergarten.

The three little girls were playing happily with the eldest girl Tian Lang.
