Chapter 806
"Well, it's delicious!" Xia Ruofei gave Ling Qingxue a thumbs up and said, "As expected, Uncle Su made the authentic ones! Qingxue, try it!"
When everyone saw Xia Ruofei's slightly exaggerated appearance, they couldn't help but have a strong interest in the plate of fish in front of him.
Only Zhao Yongjun's eyes did not fall on the fish, but looked at Xia Ruofei, and asked uncertainly: "Ruofei, this fish... Could it be the legendary Yangtze shad?"
Zhao Yongjun is also well-informed, at least he knows about the Yangtze shad, and he has tasted the kind of artificially farmed American shad that is very expensive on the market. The two types of shad are close relatives, and their appearances are relatively similar. So Zhao Yongjun felt a little familiar when he brought it up just now.
In addition, Xia Ruofei particularly emphasized the deliciousness of fish scales. Zhao Yongjun vaguely remembered that this seemed to be a distinctive feature of shad, so he couldn't help asking questions.
After listening to Xia Ruofei, he gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is really well-informed! Unlike some comrades, when it comes to food, it's a good thing, but it's just a pure foodie..."
Xia Ruofei and Song Rui are the most familiar, so it is not polite to hurt him. Anyway, the relationship between the two is so strong that no matter how much fun they make, they can't really turn their faces.
Song Rui looked depressed, but Zhao Yongjun was shocked.
He asked in surprise: "It's really the Yangtze shad? I heard that this kind of fish is almost extinct! You actually caught three at a time... darling! Such a big deal..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yongjun immediately patted his forehead again and said, "No! No... You said just now that this will be the new signature dish of this restaurant, which means that the supply of ingredients must be no problem... When? Can the Yangtze shad be supplied in bulk?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is indeed worthy of coming out of the army, his thinking is meticulous!"
"Don't betray you..." Zhao Yongjun said with a wry smile, "Tell me about it with your brothers, what's the situation?"
And Hou Liang was even more confused, and said, "Brother Jun, don't sell your shit. What are you talking about about the Yangtze shad? Where is the sacredness? I've never heard of it?"
Zhao Yongjun said: "I don't know much about it, but I know that this kind of fish lives near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it will flow up the river at a fixed time every year to ovulate, so it is called shad. It is said that the taste of shad is very delicious. It used to be a tribute to the imperial court. Not only did the emperor like to eat it, but many people also like it very much. I heard that there are many famous poets and poets who have made famous sentences about shad! But these twenty or thirty In recent years, due to overfishing and environmental damage, the Yangtze shad has basically disappeared..."
Zhao Yongjun's introduction made Hou Liang and others stunned for a while. They didn't expect that three ordinary fish that didn't look very big could be so big and so precious...
"Ruofei, is this really the Yangtze shad?" Song Rui also became restless.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Brothers, I won't sell it. This is indeed the Yangtze shad, but it is not as scarce as Zhao said, because our Taoyuan company has developed artificial breeding of the Yangtze shad in a wild environment. With the latest technology, today's shad is the first batch of shad production in our company's shad farming workshop."
"Artificial breeding?" Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but exclaimed, "How is this possible? The Yangtze shad is notoriously timid, and as far as I know, a state agency tried to artificially breed the Yangtze shad more than ten years ago. The fish, of course, they were there to protect the species...but they all failed without exception, reproduction is a big problem, basically unsolvable..."
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "We have solved the technical problem, so although the output will not be particularly large in the future, it can basically guarantee a steady supply of pure Yangtze shad. And our fry are also the most authentic. The Yangtze shad, the bloodline is quite pure!"
Zhao Yongjun gave a thumbs up and said, "This is really amazing..."
"Everyone, don't patronize and listen to the story!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile,
"This steamed anchovy cools down quickly, and it won't taste so good if you don't eat it!"
As soon as Xia Ruofei finished speaking, everyone immediately picked up the chopsticks and stretched out to the small plate in front of them with anticipation, even the elegant Song Wei and Ling Qingxue, who had tasted the taste of anchovies, were no exception.
For a while, the box became very quiet, only the sound of everyone chewing.
Xia Ruofei also calmly put the fresh fish into his mouth. He is not worried about the attractiveness of the shad. He believes that the shad, one of the famous "three fresh foods in the Yangtze River", will surely capture the most discerning gluttonous customers. Zhao Yongjun and the others will not be an exception.
Sure enough, everyone didn't speak just because their mouths were too busy to speak at all.
When the shad in the small plate in front of him was finished, it meant that the talents such as Zhao Yongjun, who were not exhausted, began to praise the shad.
In particular, the gelatinous fish scales have won a lot of prizes. They have never heard that fish scales are not only edible, but also so delicious, even better than fish meat.
Xu Zixuan couldn't help but sighed: "Ruofei, I came to Sanshan this time and tasted this kind of food. After we return to Beijing, I am afraid that the so-called food in star-rated hotels and high-end clubs will taste the same..."
"It's really..." Zhao Yongjun was also amused, "You said, should we thank Ruofei? Or should we blame him for raising our appetite?"
"Have I done bad things with good intentions?" Xia Ruofei's innocent expression suddenly caused everyone to laugh.
And Song Rui's attention is obviously different from everyone's.
He asked: "Ruofei, can I buy the shad from Taoyuan Company in Beijing? I want to take Yiyi to taste the shad?"
Song Rui was a little disappointed when this dish first came up, but as a pure natural foodie, he was also the quickest to be conquered by this dish. Not only that, he also cared about whether his Yiyi could eat it. Dish.
Song Rui's question is obviously what everyone wants to ask, and everyone's eyes are focused on Xia Ruofei's face.
However, Song Wei and Ling Qingxue had something to do with them.
Ling Qingxue naturally wanted to eat whenever she wanted, and Song Wei was mainly active in Sanshan. As long as Lingji Catering had Yangtze shad for sale, it was not difficult for her to want to eat.
Xia Ruofei said: "We are still communicating with channel dealers. In general, in addition to the Sanshan market that will reserve a portion of the market, and Lingji Catering has to guarantee the supply every month, there should be a portion that will be sold nationwide. , in theory, it can be bought in the capital, but it may not be too much."
As soon as Xia Ruofei said this, everyone felt relieved.
As long as there is something to sell in the capital, it doesn't matter if the quantity is large or small. If they really want to buy it, there must be a way.
Zhao Yongjun thought for a while and said with a smile: "What other channels are you looking for? Our brothers will work together, and your goods will be available for sale in the capital tomorrow!"
"Yes! Such a good shad will definitely not worry about sales!" Hou Liang also said.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "This kind of trivial matter doesn't bother everyone. If you really want to eat shad, you can contact me at any time! I'll let someone send it over!"
Then he explained the quick-frozen transportation of shad, the need to build momentum on the Internet, and some considerations for Taoyuan Company to develop a brand, etc., mainly because he did not want Zhao Yongjun and others to misunderstand.
After listening to Hou Liang, he said: "Brother Xia, I don't dare to say anything else. I can still contribute to the publicity. It's not difficult to build up momentum on the Internet, and I can also contact a few TV stations for interviews or something. , online and offline linkage!"
Xia Ruofei also became interested when he heard it. Although the mobile Internet is very developed and traditional media is declining day by day, national TV stations and satellite TV stations in various provinces and cities still have great influence.
And the advantage of traditional media lies in its credibility.
Compared with the mixed information on the Internet, people have developed a habit for a long time, and they will subconsciously trust the information on TV, radio, and newspapers. If they can coordinate with TV stations to participate in the dissemination, the effect will be much better.
"I think the method that Liangzi said is good!" Zhao Yongjun said immediately, "Like Jingcheng Satellite TV, Shencheng Satellite TV, etc., the influence is still very large! Moreover, it is not difficult for Liangzi to coordinate."
"Then trouble Liangzi to help and ask!" Xia Ruofei was not polite, and said with a smile, "I don't know much about the specific work. I will ask our company's marketing director to contact you later."
"No problem! It's on me!" Hou Liang said cheerfully.
These dandy sons are very reserved in front of outsiders, but when facing Xia Ruofei, they will not do those "only three points of words when they meet people", and Hou Liang just takes it all.
Of course, he also has this strength, so he doesn't have to worry about messing things up.
Liu Zhe was on the side and saw that Xia Ruofei, Hou Liang and others had settled such a big matter while chatting and laughing, and he couldn't help but be very envious.
He used to get along well in Sanshan City, but compared with Hou Liang and others, the pattern was much smaller.
At the same time, he is more grateful to Xia Ruofei. It is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to participate in such a dinner and get to know Hou Liang, Zhao Yongjun and others.
Wei Jun has always been a little cautious. When Xia Ruofei and the others finished talking about this matter, he asked curiously: "Brother Xia, this Yangtze shad should be sold very expensively?"
Xia Ruofei said calmly: "Our initial price is 3888 per kilogram. I think there should be a lot of people who can afford it, because the size of shad is generally not very big, like today's, it's only about two pounds..."
Hou Liang thought for a moment in his heart, and said, "So, we will cost more than 20,000 yuan for this dish tonight?"
Song Rui glanced at Hou Liang with some contempt, and said, "That's the supply price of shad, doesn't the hotel make money? I think it's possible to double it..."
"We ate 40,000 to 50,000 yuan for this dish tonight?" Xu Zixuan couldn't help but stunned.
For Xu Zixuan and the others, it is not uncommon to eat tens of thousands of yuan for a meal. Sometimes a bottle of wine can cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, but it is a powerful red wine. If it is just a dish of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan , it still sounds scary.
Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said, "Everyone is a brother. How common is it to have a meal and talk about money? Besides, it's the supply price. In fact, our cost is not that high..."
"Anyway, if we go to the hotel to eat, we have to spend that amount!" Xu Zixuan said, "Brother Xia is too open! The standard of hospitality is higher than that of a state banquet!"
There are quite a few of these boys who have eaten state banquets.
"Brother Xia is open!" Hou Liang and the others also coaxed.
"Come, come, let's toast together!" Zhao Yongjun raised his glass with a smile, "For his warm hospitality, cheers!"
In fact, he hadn't drank for a while, and the greedy worm was a little bit eager to move again. After finally finding an excuse, he immediately brought a glass of wine.
After tasting the two big dishes, the lighter vegetables came up again, followed by sweet soup, dessert, fruit...
Lingji's private kitchen itself is mainly high-end. The ingredients of these dishes are all first-class, and the appearance is quite good. Even these well-informed Beijing gangsters can't help but admire them.
Hou Liang even kept encouraging Ling Qingxue to go to the capital to open a branch as soon as possible.
It is conceivable that if Ling Ji Private Kitchen really opened a branch in the capital, Hou Liang and others would bring enough customers to keep them busy.
Xia Ruofei's girlfriend opened a store in the capital, and these boys can't help cheering?
Ling Qingxue was also a little moved by what she said. She said that she would suggest to her father and try to put it on the agenda as soon as possible.
After drinking enough food, Zhao Yongjun took the lead to propose: "Brothers, have you eaten well? Or... Let's go out and see those goods?"
"OK!"
"I just came to order after-dinner games, Xiaoxiaoshi!"
"It makes sense! Brother Xia and sister-in-law entertained me so well, I'm a little overwhelmed."
These gangs are not afraid of the sky and the earth. They are notorious for being generous in the capital, but they are even more courageous in Sanshan, so they are eager to try Zhao Yongjun's proposal.
Xia Ruofei said: "Then go out and have a look! But I still say that, if you can't be rough, don't be rough, we are all from Sri Lanka!"
"Go!" Zhao Yongjun stood up and headed out.
By the courtyard wall, Tian Xiaojun and the others were about to despair, and the whole body was so cold that it was about to turn into a popsicle.
However, the deterrent power of Zhao Yongjun and others was too strong, they didn't dare to walk away at all, and could only squat there nervously.
When he heard a creaking sound of the courtyard door, Tian Xiaojun turned his head weakly and glanced at the courtyard door many times that night, but all the waiters who served the dishes came in and out. At the beginning Tian Xiaojun looked over with anticipation every time, and now he is a little numb.
But when he saw the tall Zhao Yongjun walking out of the yard first and walking straight towards him and the others, Tian Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, a trace of anticipation suddenly surged in his heart, and at the same time he was very apprehensive, not knowing. How will Zhao Yongjun and others deal with themselves.
Seeing that Zhong Zixin and Xia Zhe were still squatting there with their heads lowered, Tian Xiaojun quickly pushed them.
At this time, Zhao Yongjun and others had already walked in front of Tian Xiaojun and the others, forming a semicircle behind them.
Tian Xiaojun tried his best to squeeze out a flattering smile, raised his head and said, "Young Master Zhao! Hello..."
Zhao Yongjun's cold eyes shot straight over, and he asked indifferently, "Are you Tian Xiaojun?"
