In this era, the "Qingshan Hotel" opposite the train station was the only day and night hotel in Bincheng. Naturally, the banquet that night can only be held here.
Hong Yanwu was really rude. Although there were few dishes in the evening, he ordered all the dishes he could order. In the end, eight large plates and six large bowls were placed, plus two bottles of "Bincheng Laojiao" and a bottle of Shanzao honey wine.
That's not all. I ordered another order of "Pork in Pot Buns", "Fried Oyster Yellow" and "Seafood Family Portrait", and asked "Sea Gouzi" to take them to the "Shengli Guesthouse" and follow the man who was guarding the money. "Little Baizi" is just a companion.
Back at Bao Duo'er, this table with fish, shrimp, conch, and sea cucumbers costs about twenty yuan. It costs a lot of money.
Of course, even in today's world, the "Hai Bangzi" can afford such a banquet. But after all, money cannot be spent in vain. Plus I was curious. From the moment they sat down, everyone took turns urging Hong Yanwu to come up with his solution.
This feeling of expectation is the same even for "General" and "Sanjizi".
However, Hong Yanwu still failed. He smoked and watched everyone having fun, insisting that he could not talk until the food was served. It made the people at the table extremely anxious and annoyed.
When the finale dish "braised sea cucumber" came, Hong Yanwu couldn't wait to take a spoon and took a bite. Then he called the waiter.
Then he took a photo of more than half of the box of "peonies" in front of him and handed it to the waiter, asking the waiter to do a favor and invite the master chef out.
What he did was so weird! Not to mention that the "Hai Bangzi" were confused, the waiters were also dizzy. Because in restaurants these days, customers may not have perfect rights to eat. Who can satisfy your special request?
But firstly, the cigarette Hong Yanwu gave me was really good, secondly, he was so kind and not looking for trouble, and thirdly, there were not many guests at night, so he was idle. The waiter hesitated for a moment and then went.
Not long after this, a chef in his forties with a round face and a bald head strolled out of the back kitchen, wiping sweat with one hand and holding a large teapot in the other.
Although this man is just a state-owned cook who earns a living wage, his majesty is enough to despise the world. Compared with the so-called "gods of food" in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, he is even worse than his grandma.
Why? I learned this by smashing bowls and pots every day and scolding the manager. If you really have a dispute with a customer, you can just give it to someone when it comes to horse spoons. No matter how good the capitalist cooks are, the three of them would not dare to do this even if they had the guts to do so. Their confidence is lacking in the market.
So Hong Yanwu didn't dare to be negligent at all, so he quickly stood up, handed out cigarettes and gave up his seat, and greeted him warmly.
As the saying goes, it’s not strange to be polite to many people. Although the master was impatient and did not sit down, his expression immediately softened when he smoked a cigarette.
It’s just that the temper of the craftsman is indeed very straightforward. When Hong Yanwu just asked, "Master, is your 'braised sea cucumber' wrong?" The man became anxious.
"What? Do you think my food is not cooked well?"
As he said this, the master rolled his eyes and rolled his eyes. Looking at that posture, I wish I could pull the teapot in my hand over.
This made the "Haichangzi" worried, as they were afraid that the two of them would start fighting out of nowhere.
I didn’t expect Hong Yanwu to be so bold. Although his words were polite, they really stung him.
"Don't be impatient and listen first to see if what I say makes sense. In fact, your dish doesn't taste bad. I think it's more authentic than the 'Seafood Restaurant'. But I'm just curious, what's wrong with this sea cucumber?" The meat is neither thick nor chewy, and it's not just like yours. It seems to be the same in every restaurant in Bincheng. To tell you the truth, I have eaten this dish in Bincheng before. Taste..."
Hey, don’t say it yet, these few words are on point and have a magical effect immediately.
Not only is the master not angry, but his anger is smooth. He even sounded quite happy, the excitement of a good cook meeting a good eater.
"Young man, does your accent sound like someone from Beijing? Not bad, you are from the capital. Your tongue is not bad, you are a good eater."
After praising him for a moment, the master took a puff of his cigarette and patiently explained.
"Actually, it's quite simple. If you're not a local, you don't know that in our area, the price of sea cucumbers increased for a while. All the stocks in the stores were bought up. Later, in order to stabilize prices, the government I brought in a batch of Shandong sea cucumbers. They are small in size and thin in flesh. They are not as good as one of our Bincheng sea cucumbers. Do you think they are delicious? But there is no way, now there are many in Bincheng. The restaurants use Shandong sea cucumbers like this. It’s not that we’re not good at it, but even the best cooks can’t do anything about it.”
After saying this, the "Hai Bangzi" couldn't help but look at each other, and they vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It should be said that the "general" responded quickly. With one question, he raised the questions in everyone's mind.
"Master, I am also from Bincheng. Why don't I understand what you are saying? In the first period of time, the market was tight because of the holidays, but now it is the peak fishing season, and there should not be any shortage anymore. Right? Besides, there are so many local sea cucumbers on the market, and the price has dropped below 20 yuan, so why is this still happening..."
Hearing this, the master suddenly laughed.
"Brother, what you said is very interesting. Indeed, our local sea cucumbers are not only available in the market, but also cheap, but isn't that something in the hands of ordinary people? You have to trade privately, and you can't buy it in the store. As for the new ones from the public The little sea cucumbers caught are not enough to be shared by the capital and the big restaurants in Shanghai. If we can keep some in Bincheng, we must first provide the leaders and foreign guests with "Nanshan Hotel" and "Guanhai Tower". 'Yes. You know? Everything has to be according to the national plan. So if you really want to eat Bincheng sea cucumber, you can probably eat it at a restaurant in Jingcheng. You have to find someone to buy it yourself, and I will charge a processing fee and make it ready for you..."
At this point, seeing the "sea bumpers" starting to whisper among themselves, Hong Yanwu was satisfied that he had achieved his goal. He picked up an unopened bottle of "Bincheng Laojiao" next to him and stuffed it into the master's hand.
"Master. Thank you. We finally understand what happened. This bottle of wine is disrespectful. Please accept it."
"This, this is not good, is it? This bottle of wine costs more than three yuan..." The master really didn't expect to meet such a generous person, and he blushed a little.
Hong Yanwu’s mouth is full of Chai. "It's okay, we are using public funds anyway. You understand, we will have to bring sea cucumbers to trouble you later."
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
In this way, the master felt calm and accepted it happily. When I left, I couldn't help but say a few more words because I felt so beautiful.
"Actually, it's not bad for you to eat Shandong sea cucumbers today. You don't know, I have an acquaintance in the blending department of the Communication Department. I heard that even this batch of Shandong sea cucumbers is almost used up. Bincheng will prepare sea cucumbers again. Come here, that's the 'Topaz Ginseng' from further south. Do you know that thing? It's very big, one is as big as the three of us, but it's a bald sea cucumber, loose and loose, and the taste is also weak! The food is all gone. Braised in soy sauce, it can also be chopped into pieces to make dumplings! It’s a miracle that good things are cheaper than bad things here. We are cooks. You can only use fake goods..."
Good guy! This is an unexpected gain, an extra surprise!
The master casually pointed out the truth, and none of the "sea bumpers" could remain calm. As soon as the master entered the kitchen, they all put their heads together.
"What does this mean? Why do I think the price of sea cucumbers can still rise now?"
"Yes, this is not normal. Our sea reference is so good as he said, it cannot be so cheap!
"Hey, I've thought so much. Anyway, the store is going to be out of stock again, so won't the price of sea cucumbers have to increase again?"
"No! It won't be out of stock. There is also 'Topaz Ginseng'. But that thing is not delicious, so the price should be increased. But I just can't figure it out. The current Shandong sea cucumbers are not as good as Liao ginseng. How can it be Did it fall instead of rise? ”
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."
"You say, you say..."
In the midst of the chaos, Hong Yanwu finally revealed his trump card to everyone in a suppressed voice. In fact, his point of view is that the current price of sea cucumbers is likely to be a low price that will never appear again in the future, and will never remain depressed.
