"The taste of this curry seems to be different from ordinary curry powder!" Shi Shishi said, "As one of the essences of Shanghai-style snacks, making this curry beef soup is not that simple!"

"You need to select good quality beef brisket, wash it and cut it into pieces. It also needs to be boiled in water and cooked carefully. It also takes a lot of effort to make it well. Otherwise, the beef brisket will not be soft and glutinous enough, and the taste will be very different.

Yes." Situ Yuner also added.

"Yooner, I didn't expect that this little girl like you knows a lot!" Er said in surprise.

"There is no other way. If we don't work harder to help Boss Chen win this championship, what can we do? During this period, I have read a lot of books about cooking!" Situ Yuner said quickly.

"I didn't expect that there are so many young people who love cooking!" Xu Tianlin said happily, "Old Chen, now I can finally understand why you made this bet with me back then."

"By the way, Boss Xu, what was the process of your bet back then?" Situ Yuner asked.

"Back then! It was in this Shikumen restaurant that I tasted Boss Chen's cuisine."

"Okay, this is my special fried noodles. Comments are welcome." Chen Shi said, placing a plate of shiny fried noodles in front of Xu Tianlin.

At that time, Chen Shi had just reached middle age, his hair was still black and shiny, and his face looked full of energy.

The aroma of heavy oil fried noodles also made Xu Tianlin drool, but he still barely resisted the temptation and said: "It does look quite decent, and the aroma is exactly the same as when I was a child! But this fried noodles alone is not enough to convince me.

.”

As Xu Tianlin said this, he put the fried noodles into his mouth unceremoniously. After chewing, he showed a satisfied expression on his face.

However, this expression was fleeting, because Xu Tianlin knew the purpose of his coming here today.

"This fried noodles is very chewy, and the vegetables and shredded pork complement each other perfectly. This is the best fried noodles I have ever tasted." Xu Tianlin said seriously, "But Lao Chen, you seem to be disappointed with this bowl of fried noodles alone."

It’s not very convincing!”

"How about this bowl of soup?" Chen Shi smiled and brought a bowl of curry beef soup to Xu Tianlin.

"Old Chen, you seem to be cheating! This is your second serving!" Xu Tianlin said.

But at this moment, the aroma of the curry soup hit his nostrils, and Xu Tianlin couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Lao Xu, you can't be so serious. And my curry beef soup and fried noodles are matching."

"It turns out to be a set meal! Forget it, I'll just try it out together!" Xu Tianlin said and took a sip of the soup.

"That was the most wonderful moment in my life. I never knew that a small bowl of curry beef soup could be so delicious. The beef brisket must have been stewed for a long time, and it was already melting in your mouth. And

Lao Chen also added some beef tendon to it. If you need chewiness, this beef tendon is also an excellent choice." When Xu Tianlin recalled it, his face was also full of smiles.

"I took one bite of fried noodles and one bite of soup, and I ate it with great joy. After a while, I found that I had finished the set meal in one go."

"How do you like it? My fried noodles with soup are not bad!" Chen Shi looked at Xu Tianlin provocatively.

"This..." Xu Tianlin still wanted to refute, but he had already answered with practical actions. If he wanted to deny it now, he would really lose face. So he hesitated for a long time and still said no.

Speak up.

"Okay, how is our bet going now?" Chen Shi said calmly.

"Old Chen, can I ask you one last question."

"What's the problem?"

"Why do you have to open such a small store here? You know, with your wealth, there is no problem in opening a top-notch restaurant in the largest downtown area of ​​Yihai. And when the time comes, it will definitely be

It’s so hot!”

"If this is really the case, then the food I cook can only be eaten by rich people. This is somewhat contrary to my original intention of opening a store."

"Well..."

"This is the place where I was born, and I hope to do something here. At least, I can allow those people here who really like food to taste what they want. Do you understand now?"

After Xu Tianlin listened, he didn't speak for a long time.

"Okay! For your delicious curry beef soup, how about you consider me a shareholder of this restaurant? Do you welcome me?"

"Welcome. How could I not welcome you as the Minister of Supply? But there is no such thing as a free lunch. You have to pay a price!"

"At what cost, you tell me."

"The supply of ingredients from the 'Chunlei Group' is the most guaranteed. The future supply of ingredients for my restaurant will be handed over to the 'Chunlei Group'. And since you want to help, I can also make you the founder of our restaurant."

"That's no problem. I'll send someone to deliver it to you."

"This may be a piece of cake for you, but as a restaurant founder, it's not that simple!"

"Then tell me, what help do you need from me?"

"In addition to full-time supply, the price of ingredients has been reduced by 50%."

"What? Did I hear you right? Do you know that our group always has the best prices for ingredients?"

"I know! So I'm counting on you, the head of the supply department."

"Your knife is too cruel!"

"There is no way, I can't pass on the cost of food ingredients to the residents here!"

"What's the meaning?"

"I want the residents here to taste the best food. But you know that the consumption level in this old city is not as good as other well-developed areas. So in order to give back to them, I am going to sell it at ordinary prices. So I hope that the ingredients

On the basis of ensuring quality, the price will be reduced as much as possible.”

"I can understand that, but can't you just pay for it yourself?"

"Then why should I ask you to be the founder?" Chen Shi rolled his eyes at Xu Tianlin and said, "Just tell the truth, are you willing to help?"

"It's a big deal... but 50% is really scary."

"Then what's the lowest discount you can get?"

"That's good. The demand for ingredients in your store won't be very big anyway. Every time you place an order in advance, I will deliver it to you from the place of origin. You can get about a 30% discount. What do you think?"

"30%, then 30%! I can barely accept it."

"You guys are simply taking advantage of me and still acting like a good boy." Xu Tianlin also said angrily.

"Don't worry, I will give you the privileges of the 'Shinan Old Mansion' in the future."

"What privilege?"

"No matter when you come here, you will have your own exclusive seat. And whatever you want to eat, I will personally cook it for you. What do you think?"

"What's said is final, and you can't cheat on it."

"Am I like that?"

"It turns out that there was such an interesting story about the establishment of the 'Shinan Old Hotel'!" Situ Yuner said with a smile.

"Because of my dishonest words, I sold myself for a bowl of curry beef soup!" Xu Tianlin said helplessly.

"Lao Xu, do you think it's a shame or not? Later, you came to me every two days!" Chen Shi said unconvinced.

"Who told you to cook delicious food?"

"Okay, why did you come here today?" Chen Shi asked.

"I'm not here to inform you." Xu Tianlin said, "Well, you heard about the big thing that happened to the Food Association!"

After hearing Xu Tianlin's words, Shi Shishi and others also became nervous.

"I heard that President Yi was probably taken away!" Chen Shi said.

"Not only that, the original popular candidate for acting president, Wang Yu, was unexpectedly replaced."

"Then Vice President Taiye is also a senior member, so it's no surprise that he was elected."

"As long as it's not that guy Wang Yu, it's the same for everyone." Er Shuangshuang said.

"Miss Shuangshuang, things are not as simple as you think!" Xu Tianlin said, "I heard that after Na Taiye came to power, the first thing he did was to terminate his contract with the Chunlei Group."

"What?" Situ Yuner said in surprise, "How dare they terminate the contract with Chunlei Group? Isn't their food association ready to continue?"

"Yes! This 'Chunlei Group' is the largest food supplier in the country. Without their support, how can this food association continue to operate?" Du Zhong asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is no chance to compete with us in the domestic market. But it's different when you look around the world." Xu Tianlin said, "I heard that after Na Taiye terminated its contract with us, it then started working with the world's largest food supplier

, 'Sam Burton' signed."

"What? This guy actually signed a contract with a foreign company?"

"There's nothing strange about this." Shi Shisi analyzed, "You have to know that the 'Chunlei Group' has too much influence on the Food Association. I guess this guy has been planning it for a long time. Even the 'Sam Burton' should have been there very early

Just make an agreement with him!"

"Brother Shi, I have the same idea as you. We have also had a lot of dealings with this 'Sam Burton' in foreign markets." Xu Tianlin said.

"How about it?"

"Although we have been suppressed by this food giant in the foreign market, this guy has never touched this one-third of the domestic market. But I didn't expect that this time we would be stabbed by the food association.

"

"I've warned you a long time ago. Sometimes you can't be too aggressive with your customers, and you don't have to pay the price. What about now?" Chen Shi said.

"But don't worry, the domestic market is still ours. Let's treat this as a defensive battle. Even if we risk our lives, we won't let the giant crocodile succeed." Xu Tianlin said seriously.
