Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 198 Steel
"Haha, Young Master Liu, Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there's nothing good about it. This is foreign wine brought back from Xiangjiang by a friend. Would you like to take it home and taste it?" Kou Bin, the purchasing manager of the agricultural machinery factory, brought the XO that Li Lei brought back. Pass it to Liu Shaojun, who is in a suit and leather shoes and has a combed back hair.

"Yo, XO, this thing is not cheap! Why do you need my help?" Liu Shaojun said in a foolish tone.

His family works in a steel mill, and he was originally assigned to work in the office of the steel mill. Later, he felt uncomfortable and went out to work on his own. These years, with the help of the dual-track system, he has been selling batches and bills, and his life is happy. Comfortable, there are people to cater to wherever you go.

This guy likes to watch Hong Kong and Taiwan movies. He usually dresses up like Fa Ge in the movies. He also likes to see those young masters in Hong Kong called Mr. X in the film and television dramas, so everyone calls him Mr. Liu when they meet.

"Look at what you said, I have to find you because I have something to do? Why can't I just come over and have a meal with you?" Kou Bin pretended to blame.

"You guys, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I've seen it through! But you are more honest than others, and you won't always try to take advantage of me!" Liu Shaojun half-slumped on the sofa, lazily pointing fingers Dian Kou Bin, "Since you said so, let's find a place to eat? What good place are you going to take me today?"

"Since we drink foreign wine, we must eat Western food? How about we go to the Friendship Hotel? Have an American Boston lobster and French oysters?" Down the blood.

"I vomited from eating at the Friendship Hotel, why can't you have something fresh?" Liu Shaojun looked annoyed. Nowadays, anyone who goes to the Friendship Hotel can spend a whole year bragging about it, but this is for ordinary people. This kind of people can go whenever they want, and they don't have to pay for it themselves.

"Aren't I afraid that other places are too small to be worthy of your status? If you really want to eat something fresh, I do know a good place, but the conditions are a bit rough!" Kou Bin never treats guests only Prepared a plan, and seeing that Liu Shaojun didn't want to go to the Friendship Hotel, he immediately came up with an alternative.

"Oh? What place?" Liu Shaojun immediately became interested, "To be honest, those big restaurants are really boring, and the decoration is better than the other, but when you eat, someone always comes to ask you to toast, and you can't eat peacefully , I just want to eat some delicious food in peace, it doesn't matter what my face looks like!"

"Some time ago, a friend took me there. It's a small door in an alley. Don't look at the two tables inside. He has real skills! His ancestors were the private chefs of salt merchants, and they are good at Huaiyang cuisine. I'm not bragging to you, don't look at the places in the capital where each ancestor stayed in the imperial dining room, in fact, in terms of enjoyment, those guys in the palace are far worse than the salt merchants!" Kou Bin raised his head thumbs up.

"I've heard of this. It's said that Puyi was very pitiful back then. Although there were [-] dishes for every meal, they were all the same and the taste was not good. Sometimes they were even served cold. If you don’t give it, I’m afraid that the emperor will find it delicious after eating it, and ask them for green beans in winter!” When talking about food and drink, Liu Shaojun immediately regained his energy.

"You have to be knowledgeable. When I tell others, they don't believe me. They say I'm talking nonsense. Now that I'm the emperor, can I eat whatever I want?" Kou Bin just played the role of a fan.

Liu Shaojun smiled smugly, he felt that he was different from those local rich men, he was a person of taste, "Why don't we hold Huaiyang cuisine as the main state banquet after the founding of the country, instead of the imperial cuisine of the past Do you follow the menu in the room? Doesn’t this mean that the imperial meal is not delicious?”

"In 83, "Harvest" magazine published a novel by Lu Wenfu called "Gourmet". No big restaurant is considered the best food, the best food still comes from private chefs, pay attention!"

"Let's go, let's try the craftsmanship of this salt merchant's private kitchen today." Liu Shaojun looked at the XO in his hand, went back and put it away, and brought over a jar of rice wine, "Eat western food with foreign wine, eat Huaiyang cuisine You have to drink rice wine, the 30-year-old Shaoxing Huadiao was given to you by others last time, and today it is a bargain for you!"

"Tsk tsk, you are so good at enjoying. Compared with you, we live like pigs. We only think that it is good to fill our stomachs, but we know that there are so many things about eating and drinking!" Kou Bin knew very well, and Liu Shaojun When dealing with this kind of person, it is not enough to just say good things. People like him listen to too many good things every day, and they have long been immune to these, so you can praise him in a different way.

Doesn't he know that Liu Shaojun often eats at the Friendship Hotel?I don't know that Liu Shaojun is very particular about eating and drinking?That must be known. Why did you still bring foreign wine and say that you are going to the Friendship Hotel for dinner?Isn't it to arouse Liu Shaojun's desire to show off?
Now Liu Shaojun said he was happy, and if he was satisfied with the food later, then the steel would definitely not be a problem, so he just gave you the approval note.

Go out and get in the car, turn left and right in the city, and finally arrive at a small yard by the river. Although the yard is small, it is very elegant. There are a few clumps of bamboo in the corner, and a plum blossom is blooming red next to it. There is a stove in the house. It wasn't cold either, so Liu Shaojun took off his scarf after entering, "This place is really nice, why didn't I find out earlier?"

"It's not too late to find out now. If you like it, just bring more friends here!" Kou Bin said with a smile, and then went out to tell the boss, "Liu Shao doesn't like being disturbed when eating, so why don't you close the door today?"

The boss was still a little unhappy, but for the sake of the money, he still agreed, and Liu Shaojun was even more satisfied. Now he didn't have to worry about someone coming to toast and harass him when he was eating.

"Hey, old Kou, if you want me to tell you that you still work in a shitty class, you can come here and hang out with me! The custody is more nourishing than you staying in some broken factory!" There is a lack of such a follower who handles affairs properly and knows how to eat and drink.

"Liu Shao likes me, that's my honor! But I have no other advantages, only one advantage, that is, I know how to repay my kindness. Back then, I was fired by my unit, and my relatives and friends ignored me. Boss Du Li was willing to take me in, so I thought about it at the time, as long as Boss Li still needs me, then I will sell him my life for the rest of my life!" Kou Bin politely declined.

Liu Shaojun usually dislikes being rejected by others, but today is an exception. Not only was he not angry when he heard what Kou Bin said, but he appreciated it a little more.

When he watched Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, he liked characters with loyalty. In addition, he had been deceived by people around him many times over the years, so he also gave a thumbs up, "Old Kou, you can get along! Well, since you If you want to repay your kindness, then I won’t say anything, let’s eat! Boss, where’s the menu?”

"Liu Shao, he doesn't have a menu here, and he cooks whatever good ingredients he buys every day! Master Jin, what are we going to do today?" Kou Bin asked the boss.

"Today, a big silver carp was fished up from the suburban reservoir, just to make a braised silver carp head, six catties and seven taels of big silver carp head, enough for you guys to eat! In addition, I'm serving you some pine nut corn, Wensi tofu and so on What do you think of the side dishes?" Master Jin took them to the yard to have a look at the big silver carp.

"Hey, it's all kung fu dishes! Just because you dare to make this, it's worth the trip! You take your time, I'm not in a hurry!" Liu Shaojun had heard how difficult it is to cook silver carp head and Wensi tofu. But I haven't eaten it seriously, and I am very satisfied with this arrangement.

Kou Bin originally planned to let Master Jin serve some appetizers such as fennel beans first, and then everyone drank while waiting for the main course, but was stopped by Liu Shaojun.

Liu Shaojun was afraid that he would lose his sense of taste after drinking first, and would not be able to taste the benefits of demolishing silver carp heads and Wensi tofu, so he asked his servants to bring out their poker, and several of them played poker and waited slowly.

"Everyone, please taste it, tear down the silver carp head!" Master Jin brought his disciples together, and the two of them brought the dish up on a huge plate.

After serving the dishes, Master Jin was not in a hurry to go back to cooking, but introduced the benefits of this dish to them, "When it comes to eating and drinking, there is actually one key, that is, eat whatever is in season, eat bamboo shoots in spring, and eat bamboo shoots in summer." Eat lotus root, eat hairy crabs in autumn, and eat mutton around the stove in winter! This is the so-called season.”

"If you come here in spring or summer, I will definitely not serve you this dish, even if the fish head is big! Because the silver carp in spring and summer has a strong earthy smell and is not good to eat! Fish in autumn and winter Basically, I don’t move around very much, and I eat less, and the earthy smell in the fish has faded away, and it’s just right to eat at this time!”

"The method is simple. Choose a good fish head, add ham, crab powder, sea cucumber, scallops, chicken breast, shrimp, and dried shrimp, boil in water until soft and rotten, remove the fish head, add mushrooms, fungus, Stewed cabbage together, the fish head produced in this way is delicious and mellow, try it and see if you can still eat it?"

"What you said is simple, but in fact there are so many ingredients, how much and when to add each ingredient, and what bones are used to hang the broth, all of which must be particular! You don't need to taste it, just smell it, then you can't go wrong !” Liu Shaojun picked up his chopsticks and tasted it.

The first chopsticks landed on the throat of the fish head where it connects to the gills. This is the smoothest, tenderest and most fragrant part of the fish head, commonly known as walnut meat.

Putting the walnut meat into his mouth, Liu Shaojun narrowed his eyes comfortably, "The skin is waxy and the meat is tender, and the soup is rich. Your skill is amazing!"

Master Jin was also very happy to hear that the evaluation given by Liu Shaojun was not such a crappy word that melts in the mouth, "I know you know how to eat when you put down the chopsticks. Since you like it, eat slowly, and I will make Wensi tofu for you." !"

Liu Shaojun didn't speak, he tasted the walnut meat, and then ate the tender meat under the eyes, which is tender and smooth, rich in collagen; then there are crisp fish lips, delicious fish skin, tender fish brain, etc. After eating these, he put down his chopsticks. As for the fish belly that ordinary people love most, he doesn't like it.

"Come here, old Kou, the wine is ready, let's go two!" After tasting all the delicious food, now there is no need to worry about the alcohol affecting the taste, Liu Shaojun picked up the wine bowl and sipped it.

"Okay, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want!" Kou Bin gurgled a few times, and went down with a bowl of wine.

After a while, Master Jin brought Wensi tofu and served them a bowl each. This dish looks ordinary, just a bowl of soup, but in fact it is a very sophisticated chef.

Tofu, winter bamboo shoots, chicken breast, ham, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients should be cut into hair-like filaments, and they cannot be broken. This knife alone is enough for a cook to practice for several years.

"Okay! This knife is perfect!" Liu Shaojun stirred it with chopsticks, and found that the shredded tofu in the soup bowl was as thin as a hair, and the roots were continuous, so he immediately gave a thumbs up again.

Liu Shaojun usually eats with a table full, but today he only had a few dishes, but he ate more happily than before when the table was full. He took a few sips and drank a bowl of wine, and continued to eat after drinking. Good wine and good food, the meal was very enjoyable.

When he came out of the yard after eating, Liu Shaojun specially gave a tip and left his business card, "This place is good, I will come back in two days, if you come across any good ingredients, remember to call me!"

"I had a good meal today. I'll go back and rest first. You can come to see me tomorrow!" Liu Shaojun knew that Kou Bin must have something to do with him, but he didn't want these mundane things to ruin his good mood today.

"Okay, slow down on the road!" Kou Bin watched Liu Shaojun's car go away, with a smile on his mouth, Liu Shaojun was so happy, it seemed that the matter was basically over.

After ten o'clock the next day, Kou Bin passed by. Liu Shaojun was eating breakfast when he entered the door. The tofu nao from Lao Lan's house in the east of the city and the fritters fried by Widow Ma in the north of the city were still steaming when they were delivered to him. It must not be run by one person. It takes two cars and two groups of people to buy it at the same time to have such an effect.

"Do you want steel? I don't want to do business at the end of the year. If someone asks, I'm sure I don't have any. But you old Kou, I'm still willing to help you out? [-] tons, how much do you want?"

Now the planned steel is [-] tons, and the unplanned price is [-], but this is the price that Liu Shaojun got from the factory, and it must be sold to others, and [-] tons is kind.

"The more the better, I want as much as you have here!" Kou Bin didn't counter-offer, firstly, the price is not bad, and secondly, he knew Liu Shaojun's temper, and he didn't like people to be talkative.

"Hehe, isn't your tone low?" Liu Shaojun stretched out a slap, "Can you eat this number?"

"Not enough! At least add another zero!" Kou Bin remembered what Li Lei said.

Now Liu Shaojun was quite surprised, "Such a big deal? What is your factory doing?"

"The tractors are selling well, and the factory has added two more workshops. This amount of steel is enough for a few months!" Kou Bin had already found an excuse.

"Then it's not the same number, and we have to add another 100 yuan per ton!" Such a large business requires a lot of energy.

"No problem! As long as the delivery is made before the year, I'll pay as you go!" Kou Bin didn't hesitate at all.
