Feng Yifan and Shi Jiahui came to a very famous hotel in Huaicheng.

When he entered the hotel lobby, Shi Jiahui saw those suppliers, who were actually waiting on the sofa in the lobby.

Shi Jiahui led Feng Yifan over and met with the suppliers separately.

Among these suppliers, some specialize in supplying various seafood products in the Bohai Bay, and some come from the Northeast to specialize in various mountain delicacies business.

There are also beef and mutton suppliers from the grassland.

There are even some people from the Yangtze River Basin, some specializing in river food business.

It can be said that it covers all kinds of food suppliers from all over the country.

There are even two companies that specialize in domestic ham businesses.

Of course, one of them is Jinhua ham and the other is Nuodeng ham.

Feng Yifan shook hands with these people and said hello very seriously, and they met each one specifically.

After almost meeting each other, Feng Yifan said: "Thank you, thank you for taking the time to come here. Tonight, my restaurant will be open for trial business. Please come here and give us some advice."

Hearing Feng Yifan's words, the Northeast supplier who does the mountain delicacies business spoke first.

"Cheung Feng, you are kind. Although this is our first time meeting, we have heard of your reputation for Cheung Feng, and we have seen your cooking techniques online. We have to say that we really admire you."

The Bohai Bay seafood merchant said: "Yes, let alone two chefs Shi and Mr. Zhuang protect you. We will definitely do our best to provide you with the best ingredients."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Thank you everyone."

The next negotiations went smoothly.

Several suppliers are willing to provide fresh supply to Feng Yifan's restaurants every week. As for various dry goods, they can be supplied here once a month, or if Feng Yifan needs it, they can contact them to ship the goods at any time.

As for the price, because Shi Jiahui is present, and two state banquet chefs, Zhuang Daozhong and Shi Jinbin, are backers, naturally the suppliers dare not give very special prices.

Compared with some foreign ingredients, the prices of ingredients from these domestic suppliers are indeed lower.

In fact, for these domestic suppliers, they also have their own hidden secrets.

"Many times, many domestic restaurants use some foreign ingredients as gimmicks, which leads to the fact that the good things in our country are ignored. This really makes us, the domestic raw material vendors feel heartbroken."

After hearing this, Feng Yifan also said seriously: "Don't worry, as long as the quality can be guaranteed, I will definitely be your long-term partner. In the future, I will definitely stand up for our domestic ingredients so that more people can understand that many of our domestic ingredients are not inferior to those of foreign countries."

Feng Yifan's remarks were unanimously praised by the food suppliers present.

However, Feng Yifan did not care about their praise, and he still gave a few words of seriousness.

"We can say ugly things ahead. If your quality cannot satisfy me, I will turn against you at any time. Don't blame me for not notifying you in advance.

And you should meet tonight, some foreign food suppliers I invited, so what I want to tell you is that I, Feng Yifan, have worked as a chef at home and abroad for many years. I have high requirements for many things. Please don’t joke with me about quality.”

I heard Feng Yifan's warning.

Everyone present looked at each other and then unanimously promised that there would be no quality problems.

After getting these suppliers done, Feng Yifan also stood up and said goodbye to Shi Jiahui, and said that everyone could go to Fujinglou to try it at noon.

"Fujinglou is also considered one of our restaurants. Although I am not cooking, the Huaicheng specialty dishes there are also very authentic. You can go over and taste them at noon. Of course, the meal at noon can be free."

The suppliers also expressed their gratitude and stood up to see Feng Yifan and Shi Jiahui leave.

After leaving the hotel, Feng Yifan returned to the car and conducted some screening.

He directly removed two of them.

The reason is actually very simple. From the perspective of two people, it is not the kind of person who is very honest about convenience.

Moreover, from some conversations, Feng Yifan quickly judged that the two companies could not guarantee quality, and even had no idea about many things.

Feng Yifan didn't want to break up in public, but after dinner tonight, he would not cooperate with the other party again.

When Shi Jiahui saw the two selected companies, she sighed helplessly.

"I didn't expect that these two stores had delivered goods to restaurants in Shanghai before, but in just a few years, they turned out to be like this."

Feng Yifan asked: "Sister Sister, they probably didn't deliver it to your restaurant again?"

Shi Jiahui thought for a while and said, "It's really a long time since I sent it."

Feng Yifan nodded: "So, some things can be seen, and there should be something wrong, so they are replaced by others."

Shi Jiahui also agreed: "Well, it should be, I didn't pay attention."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the food supply needs to be screened."

On the way back, Shi Jiahui asked again: "Do you also need to screen those foreign suppliers?"

Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Yes, don't think that those foreigners are real people. They are treacherous and are not comparable to domestic suppliers."

Shi Jiahui was a little curious: "Is it that exaggerated?"

Feng Yifan said: "Of course, those foreigners usually use open conspiracy, such as doing tricks on the contract. A little flaw may cause you to lose money, so you must be very cautious when signing a contract with them."

Shi Jiahui asked even more curiously: "Then how do you sign an agreement with them? I'm afraid that you may not be able to find out the problem when you look at those contracts yourself, right?"

Feng Yifan said: "First of all, I asked them to give me a Chinese contract. Secondly, I have contacted the lawyer team of Perrvonce restaurants and helped me review their contracts in advance to ensure that there will be no problems."

Shi Jiahui was a little surprised: "Can you still use the lawyer group of Perrvonce restaurants?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "There is no way, they are too enthusiastic and have to help."

This incident was actually when Feng Yifan went to Shanghai last time and met Rodney on a yacht. Rodney had called him specifically.

On the phone at that time, Rodney was very polite and said that he was willing to help contact the supply of ingredients and would ask the lawyer team of Perrvonce restaurants to help review and negotiate the contract.

Feng Yifan asked directly at the time, what conditions did Rodney need?

After a call, the intrigue.

In the end, Rodney compromised and expressed some of his ideas about the top management of the Perrvonce restaurant.

In fact, the reason they helped Feng Yifan like this was to get Feng Yifan to agree, so that some apprentices from Perrvonce restaurants could be allowed to study in his Western restaurant.

Rodney even promised that any apprentice who came to study would pay tuition to Feng Yifan.

Feng Yifan naturally had no reason not to agree to such a deal that was almost a sure profit.

What's more, when Feng Yifan's restaurant reputation becomes famous, even if those apprentices finish their studies and return to Perrovence's restaurant, they will not be able to use Feng Yifan's restaurant menu at will.

Because it is not authorized to use, the Perrvonce restaurant is a small loss, and the loss of the restaurant's reputation is irreparable.

Therefore, Feng Yifan would not refuse to help the other party train some chefs.

After all, during the training process, those apprentices sent can also work for Feng Yifan’s restaurant.

After hearing Feng Yifan's words, Shi Jiahui suddenly realized it.

"So that's it. No wonder you said you needed to hire someone before, but you soon asked Catherine and the others to temporarily hold them up. It turned out that it was because the Perrvonce restaurant would send apprentices here. You plan to use those apprentices first, so you won't recruit people for the time being?"

Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Not recruiting for the time being does not mean that they will not recruit in the future. The main reason is that our restaurant has just opened and many things have not yet been on track, so we cannot recruit apprentices without foundation.

When you get into the formalities, you can recruit apprentices who start from scratch."

Shi Jiahui smiled: "You are indeed a cunning person."

Feng Yifan laughed: "I can't be considered a cunning person, I'm still very young, okay."

Shi Jiahui said: "Okay, you are a little fox."

Feng Yifan was very happy, whistled, and drove back to his community.

When he returned to the community, Feng Yifan parked the car but did not go upstairs, but went to the restaurant with his senior sister.

Because in the next time, everything will be done together.

Although the trial dinner only started in the evening, a lot of preparations in advance still need to be carried out.

In the kitchen of the Western restaurant, Ma Xiaolong and the others had already arrived.

When everyone saw Feng Yifan and Shi Jiahui enter the door, they greeted each other very seriously.

"Hello chef, hello chef."

Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Here, I am not the sous chef, the sous chef here is Katherine."

Katherine said: "No, you are the sous chef for all of us."

Feng Yifan said: "Sister, don't be polite. They are all young and need you to be their backbone. Many things still need you to grasp."

Shi Jiahui looked at Feng Yifan, then looked at the other people in the restaurant, and couldn't help but say, "Why do I think you have any conspiracy? Do you want to give me a high point and then wait one day, you pull the ladder away and make me fall so hard?"

Feng Yifan waved his hand: "How could this happen? Senior sister, don't think too much."

Before starting the preparation, Feng Yifan asked again: "By the way, senior sister, is the tenth master here?"

Shi Jiahui nodded and said, "Don't worry, my dad came yesterday, and he should come with his uncle."

Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, let's start. For today's dinner, everyone must do their best. Do you understand?"

Everyone immediately spoke in unison and responded with great momentum: "Yes, chef."

Next, everyone started to get busy and processed some ingredients in the kitchen in advance.

From slaughtering to cleaning to various pre-processing, it can be said that everyone takes every step very seriously.
