Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 32 Get Herbs
Sure enough, Yu Ping immediately had a different view of Chen Huajiang.

There are not many young people who have such avant-garde ideas. It seems that the young man in front of me has a lot of ideas.

"It's a good idea, but how to implement it? Let's use my hotel as an example. I can recruit chefs, and other people can also recruit chefs. Why do people want to join my hotel?"

The questions Yu Ping asked were quite professional and would definitely be difficult for ordinary people to answer, but Chen Huajiang was able to answer such questions easily.

"This is the effect of a brand. If there are no problems with the taste, service, and ingredients of your restaurant, everyone will feel safe eating."

"Over time, you will accumulate some customers. If you open two identical restaurants in the same location, and one of them bears your name, which one do you think the customers will enter?"

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the fan effect that will happen many years in the future.

Everyone has a preconceived concept, which is very important.

Yu Ping nodded, because he recognized everything Chen Huajiang said.

There are many competitors around his current Jiangnan Hotel, but only his place has more customers.

First, his charges are very affordable, second, his taste is good, and third, his ingredients are all fresh.

"What you said makes sense, but I'm still worried about this issue. As you said, how much does it cost to join? After their chefs learn our techniques, will they change our brand again in the future? ?”

Yu Ping's question was very acute. Of course, many years later, such questions would appear one after another.

Especially the stir-fried dishes like theirs are the easiest to be copied by people.

"I don't know how much your stir-fry stuff can be stolen. Take my barbecue as an example. I have my own independent recipe. All franchisees must buy these ingredients from me, and I won't let them Know what the seasoning is.”

This is what Chen Huajiang is preparing to do. The core technology must be in his own hands.

Yu Ping finally understood Chen Huajiang's thoughts, and he suddenly had a new idea.

Perhaps, his Jiangnan Hotel can do the same.

"Since everyone is looking for seasonings, let's go together after we get off the bus. What do you think?"

Yu Ping invited them.

This Chen Huajiang must be happy. After all, it is their first time to come to Yunnan, and it is very good to have a companion.

"It's okay. We are all unfamiliar with the place, and we can still take care of each other. Do you know where the most medicinal herbs are grown? We didn't ask when we came here."

"I know this. I will take you there when the time comes. They are all herbs grown by ordinary people. They do not have any additives and are very safe."

From Yu Ping’s words, he should have been to Yunnan more than once.

The journey ahead will take two days, but we all had a good chat along the way.

When Yu Ping was still preparing to go back, he went to Chen Huajiang's place to see his snack bar.

Yu Ping is very rich now and has already become a household worth ten thousand yuan.

But his ambition is not just to build a single restaurant. It can be said that his goal is consistent with Chen Huajiang's.

I just didn't think of a suitable solution. After talking so much with Chen Huajiang, it gave him some inspiration.

Finally, the train pulled into Yunnan Station.

After the three of them got off the train, they first stretched their waists and sat on the train for three days. Are they not tired?

Afterwards, under the leadership of Yu Ping, they went to a mountainous area.

They had to take a minibus first, and then take a village car to get to the place Yu Ping said.

Chen Huajiang thought it would be difficult to get here, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

After arriving, I found some herbs drying in every yard in the village.

These herbs were completely new to them, and it was like opening up a new world.

It seemed that Yu Ping had already arrived, smiling and saying hello to the village chief.

Then everyone went to the village committee.

"Village chief, what is the price of your medicinal materials this year? I am going to collect them all."

Yu Ping spoke loudly.

"It's okay to take it away, but the key is how do you take it away? The cost of hiring a car is very high."

The village chief is more worried about this issue.

"You don't have to worry about this. I have my own way. I want all the herbs, fruits, fragrant leaves, grass bandits, etc."

After all, Yu Ping has been here before, so he understands these things better.

Chen Huajiang and Da Guang were like fools, listening to Yu Ping chatting with the village chief.

"Can we go out and take a look first? We also want to buy some, but we just don't know what to buy."

Chen Huajiang chuckled and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"There are dried herbs in the yard. Come and take a look."

The village chief pointed to the village committee's courtyard, where there are various kinds of medicinal herbs.

After Chen Huaguang walked over, he picked it up and smelled it briefly.

But they have no idea what these herbs do.

After a while, the village chief came out and explained to them in detail that there were methods for adding fragrance and methods for removing fishy smell.

Chen Huajiang immediately bought a lot of herbs and put them in his sack.

He can't compare with Yu Ping. Yu Ping's hotel is bigger, and he has a snack bar, and these herbs are completely enough.

And the price of herbal medicine here is indeed very low, only a few cents per pound.

Every year, the villagers rely on these to earn some meager income.

The village chief was also very kind and even took them to have a meal.

After finishing, Chen Huajiang and Daguang were ready to leave, and Yu Ping still had to arrange vehicles and other things.

"You guys come back with me. After I find the car, I will definitely pass by you in Nanming City. It's faster than taking the train. It takes one day and one night."

What Yu Ping said is true. Although the speed of the freight car is also very slow, it is still faster than the train.

"Okay, then let's ride in your car."

Chen Huajiang smiled.

Soon, Yu Ping found a delivery vehicle in the city, which was just big enough to hold the three of them.

There were two drivers on the other side, and there was just enough space for the three of them in the back seat.

They drove off that day, and the journey was very peaceful.

At night, one of the drivers whispered: "You all should pay attention, there are robbers on this stretch of the road. If we are targeted, it will be over."

At that time, this era was still quite chaotic, with many fights and robberies.

It's okay not to say it. Not long after I finished saying this, I saw a few people in front of me waving for them to stop.

After parking the car, a few arrogant young people came over.

"Where are you going? Our brothers have no money. We need to borrow some money to spend."
