Manor Romance

Chapter 57 Mingyi Hotel

This Sunday, the staff from the hotel chain arrived as scheduled. A total of five people drove a small van to Xiaolu Mountain.On both sides of the van body, there are stickers saying "Mingyi Hotel" in large characters, and there are some slogans and signs beside them, which are very conspicuous.

The weather today is a bit cloudy, the clouds are very thick, and there is no sunshine at all. It rained for a long time last night, which made the ground wet, and the shoes were covered with mud after walking for a while.

"Manager Pan, I'm sorry for your trouble this time." The car stopped under the big banyan tree, and Yun Li also asked Xu Ping to help him receive him. The fat middle-aged man shook hands and introduced himself and Xu Ping to others.

The man named Manager Pan was also very enthusiastic. After exchanging greetings with the two, he introduced them to Yunli: "This is my assistant Xiao Lin. He was the one who called you to make an appointment. You should be familiar with him. These two are from the Purchasing Department of our Southwest Headquarters, Director Zhao Bin and Zhao Xiaoyan. They are father and daughter. This is Liu Fan, the star chef of our hotel. When the leader and distinguished guests come to dinner, he is specially appointed to handle the spoon."

Xiaolin is a 25-year-old young man, thin and small, with a pair of myopia glasses, a black briefcase in his hand, very careful in doing things, but a little shy.Zhao Bin and Zhao Xiaoyan's father and daughter are easy to recognize. Their faces are similar in shape, very round, with thick eyelids, which make their eyes look a little small, and they even narrow their eyes when they smile.

Chef Liu Fan is less than 40 years old. He is tall and tall. He is not fat, but he has a round beer belly. His arms are strong and strong. It can be seen that they have been trained for a long time. When shaking hands with Yunli, I also used considerable strength: "I heard that the boss here is a young man with a lot of ideas. I saw it when I was young. Next, I need to see if the ingredients produced in your place really have 'ideas', not Because he is young and handsome, and because he came from a famous school, he was praised by others."

"I seldom cook in the past. After I came here to farm, I gradually started to learn to cook some dishes by myself. Now I can set up a few tables to entertain people. They all said it was good after eating. I began to think that my cooking skills have improved. I was happy about it for a while, but later I found out that it was nothing wrong with it, it was just that the ingredients were good, so I covered up my attacks, so don't count on me for lunch later." Facing Liu Fanda The chef's doubts, Yunli counterattacked around the corner. There was no aggression in his words, but he could clearly express his confidence in his products.

"Haha, let's wait and see. I haven't been back for a long time. The environment in the village is still the same as before, without any major changes." Chef Liu Fan laughed heartily.

"Our Chef Liu used to be from here. Hearing that we are coming this time, he even delayed his vacation." Manager Pan explained with a smile.I have worked with Liu Fan for many years, and I know that he is a straightforward person, and sometimes his words are not nice, so I often have to help him smooth things over.

"Is it from a nearby village or from the town?" Hearing that Liu Fan used to be from this place, Xu Ping also asked curiously. Shanglu Village can be excluded, because there are not many things here. knew.

"It's in the row of residential buildings on the west side of Luzhen Middle School. My grandparents used to live in Xiayong Village, right there. Later, the whole family moved away, and there was no chance to come back." Liu Fan pointed to the direction to the southeast of Dalu Mountain. , explained to everyone.

"It turned out to be from there. The row of old residential buildings are now converted into warehouses. Maybe it won't be long before they will be demolished and rebuilt. After all, the buildings are not young." Xu Ping suddenly said, and said the residential building current situation.

"When did Chef Liu move away? If you went to Luzhen Middle School, you should still remember Brother Chen." Yun Li also asked curiously.

"I only moved away in the third year of junior high school. It has been more than 20 years. Who is Brother Chen? I only remember a teacher named Chen Manzhu. He was tall and thin and could do everything. I still remember things like making bamboo dragonflies and kites." Liu Fan said with a look of nostalgia.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Chen is still teaching in Luzhen Middle School, maybe he still recognizes you." Xu Ping said in surprise, not only him, Yun Li also knew that Old Brother Chen's real name was Chen Manzhu, and it was really easy to remember. I thought it would be such a coincidence.

"Haha, I wanted to come back for a walk, but I didn't expect that there are still acquaintances here. Calculate the time, he will be over 60 this year, and I will invite him later. I have to make a good meal at noon to honor his old man." Listen Hearing the news, Liu Fan was also a little excited, and laughed.

"Of course it's no problem. Mr. Chen knows Xiao Li very well. A phone call will come right away. Today also happens to be Sunday. Everyone can have a good get-together." Xu Ping immediately echoed.

"Then we will have a good meal. Chef Liu wants to be serious, and it is not often available in hotels." Supervisor Zhao Bin also smiled, looking forward to today's lunch.

"Okay, let's go look at the agricultural products first. It might rain at any time." Manager Pan said seriously, and everyone agreed. At this time, assistant Xiao Lin had already brought out a bag of black glue shoes from the van. Putting them on for everyone, it seems that they are also well prepared and very professional.

After they all put on their shoes, Yunli took them to the ten-acre melon and vegetable field next to the bamboo building, and introduced them to the conditions of the various crops one by one. The main targets of the explanation were Director Zhao Bin and Chef Liu Fan. He is very clear that these two people are the key people in this inspection, and their opinions will directly affect the success or failure of this cooperation.

"This purple eggplant is bigger than ordinary ones. The branches and leaves are also very lush. The skin is bright and crisp. It seems that fertilization is enough, but whether it will affect the taste can only be concluded after tasting it." Zhao was the first to attract For Bin, it was the field of eggplants intertwined with purple and green. With just a few flicks of his fingers, he was able to tell the exact condition of the eggplants, and his eyes were quite vicious.

"These tomatoes are also the same. They are big, even, and bright in color. They don't look like they were grown in the open air, and they are no worse than those in the greenhouse." Zhao Xiaoyan walked in the tomato field next to him, looking around and pinching them, while holding them. He was recording in a small notebook while talking.

She also just graduated from university this year, so she came to work in Mingyi Hotel, and started from the most basic purchases under his father Zhao Bin.Although she majored in management in college, she has no complaints. She is diligent, studious, and very serious in her work, which has been unanimously recognized by everyone. At first, some people in the hotel said she was a related family, but she has used her strength to fight back. So question.

"This is the improved Dahong No. [-]. The weather in the southwest has a big difference between cold and warm, which is not conducive to the growth of the fruit. Therefore, it was bred through hybridization technology. It is still in the experimental stage. Not every batch can grow so well. Yes, these people are lucky to grow up like this." Yun Li frankly explained to them, causing Zhao Bin to nod repeatedly.

Chef Liu Fan also observed very carefully, picking some fruits and vegetables from time to time, and putting them in a small cloth bag. It seemed that during lunch, he really had to show his strengths.Manager Pan and Xiao Lin, although their majors are not in agricultural products, they are not idle. They took out their cameras to take some data. It seems that they are going to take them back for further evaluation. It can also be seen from this that Mingyi Hotel In the process of purchasing ingredients, there is no sloppy at all. It is no wonder that they are so successful and have branches all over the country.

Next, they took a look at the crops in the vegetable field. Due to the limited storage time of vegetables, the transportation process is more troublesome, so Yunli did not put too much effort in this aspect, and the planting area was also very small, mainly for display. Take a look at the planting capacity of the manor.

"These snow peas are very rare. They are full of meat, crisp and tender on the skin, and have few tendons. Just remove the head and tail, and then you can put it in the pot. You don't have to try it, you know that the taste must be very good. Compared with the current ones in the hotel The batch that came in was much better." Liu Fan picked a few green peas from a shelf, looked at them again and again, and then came to a conclusion.

Hearing the words, Zhao Bin's father and daughter also came up together, and each took one to look through it. After a while, Zhao Bin asked: "If the fertilization is reasonable and sufficient, it is not difficult to achieve fullness, but the skin can still grow. It is very particular about making it so crispy, tender and transparent. Nutrients, sunlight, water source, temperature and even air, without a sufficiently balanced and suitable environment, it is impossible to achieve this effect. Even in a greenhouse, it is rarely possible to do it. It takes a little bit of luck to meet them one by one.”

Although he has never planted land, after so many years of purchasing food materials, Zhao Bin has already cultivated a pair of sharp eyes. He knows every food material he has come into contact with and can tell its growth characteristics one by one.

The conditions he mentioned cannot be achieved here at Little Deer Mountain, relying on the miraculous effect of electromagnetic force.When cultivating succulent plants in Jifang Garden before, Yunli discovered that certain plants would enter the best growth mode after absorbing a certain amount of electromagnetic force. He could even increase or decrease the amount of electromagnetic force to Control the characteristics of the final product.

His neon jade dew, which Feng Yisong envied unceasingly, was bred through this method, and it was also suitable for the Dutch peas, so there was this batch of products that they were full of praise for.

The ten mu of land is not very big, but the team of Mingyi Hotel observed each crop very meticulously, which took a lot of time, and Chef Liu Fan also harvested a lot, and the small cloth bag has been packed It's so full that I'm afraid I can't even fit a small potato into it.

Immediately afterwards, Yunli took them to visit the three fields of cherry tomatoes, potatoes and corn. For their inspection, when the potatoes and corn were harvested, Yunli specially ordered to leave a small area untouched. Come check them out.
