Chapter 124 (1/2)
When Jia Xiaoren got home, boss Hongyun was checking with the steward in the study. Seeing Jia Xiaoren coming in with a gloomy face, he suddenly asked, ”Xiaoren, why are you here now? Isn't this the busiest time in the restaurant? ”
Jia Xiaoren took a look at the steward. The steward immediately went out first.
”Yes, what's the matter?” The round faced boss picked up his tea cup and took a sip of tea to hide his nervousness, and then asked hesitantly.
Jia Xiaoren went to his desk, looked at his uncle and said, ”uncle, didn't you make it clear to the people in the grain and oil store and the seafood stall?”
The round faced boss asked, ”what's the matter? I told them. ”
”Yuji's snack bars and restaurants have not been affected, seafood is still selling, and the quality of snacks has not decreased.” Jia Xiaoren propped up on the table and looked down at the round faced boss.
”Eh? Seafood is also on sale? ” The round faced boss is really confused.
The snack bar was not affected. The round faced boss could understand that Yu Qingze bought eight bags of flour from them that time, which may not have been used up.
But how can there be seafood?
He watched the shipment at the dock these times. Yu Qingze didn't come to buy flour or seafood. The seafood stall owner who purchased from him didn't sell it to Yu Qingze. He asked them about it.
Where did the seafood come from?
Jia Xiaoren frowned at his uncle's words and asked, ”uncle, do you know they have no problem with snacks in the snack bar?”
The round faced boss was surprised and said, ”no, didn't you just say it?”
The round faced boss knows that his son can't see clearly in business and contacts. In recent years, it is precisely because of his eldest son that his family has slowly stood firm in Tongshan. Therefore, after his son's analysis, he doesn't dare to listen to his son now. Before his eldest son left, he told him not to take care of Jia Xiaoren. He didn't want his family to be unable to stay in Tongshan in the future, so he quickly denied it.
Jia Xiaoren frowned and looked at his uncle. His uncle has always been soft, so he came to him, but he didn't dare not help him.
”Uncle, didn't you coax me?” Jia Xiaoren asked.
”How could I coax you? We really didn't sell seafood to Yu Qingze.” The round faced boss said and drank another sip of tea.
”Where did they buy it?”
”I don't know that.” The round faced boss replied, ”most likely it was bought in the market. Maybe some bosses don't know Yu Qingze?”
”Didn't he often go to the vegetable market before, and I don't know him...” Jia Xiaoren suddenly had a flash in his mind, and suddenly thought of the problem. He immediately said, ”I know, uncle, I'll go back first.”
Then he hurried away.
The round faced boss opened his mouth and took back his outstretched hand. Forget it, it has nothing to do with yourself anyway.
When he got back, Jia Xiaoren called a waiter and told him to inquire about the situation near the seafood stall in the vegetable market, and then squatted to see if there were any guys in Jufu building to buy seafood. The grain and oil stores were too scattered to squat, so they had to go to the market.
The waiter has been to Jufu building to buy vegetables and met a lot of guys in Jufu building. Last time, he saw a guy in the kitchen for an excuse. It's most suitable for him to go.
Jia Xiaoren also reacted now. The owner of the seafood stall grain and oil store may know Yu Qingze, but it's impossible to know the man in his store. It's entirely possible for Yu Qingze to let his buddies buy it. He doesn't have to show up at all.
The waiter nodded and went out.
Yu Ji here, these days, when buying flour and seafood, they are cautious and courageous, barely allowing the snack bar to operate normally, and the seafood in the restaurant is also supplied normally. However, they feel that there is always a knife hanging on their head, and they still can't be completely assured.
That evening, Zhao Yuyan, the eldest young master of the Zhao family, invited several business owners to Jufu building for dinner and talked about something by the way.
”Master Zhao, uncle Liao and uncle Hu, you are here. Cuizhu Pavilion is ready. Please go upstairs.” Jiabao helped at the counter, saw several acquaintances and came forward to greet the guests.
”Hey, Jiabao, aren't you in the kitchen today?” Master Zhao patted Jiabao on the shoulder and asked.
Jia Bao shook his head and said with a smile, ”today, my brother and brother-in-law are in charge of the kitchen. I'm lazy.”
”Hahaha, did your brother-in-law take you out again?” Liao Dang joked. Once when they came over, they saw Le Ge'er dragging the family treasure out of the kitchen with one hand. They didn't let him in and let him rest.
Jiabao was embarrassed and said with a smile, ”it's my fault that my strength is not big enough. I can only fry vegetables for more than half an hour.”
In fact, Jiabao has been eating and drinking well this year. He has grown a lot of stature, but he has always been very thin. He doesn't have much meat. He doesn't have enough strength in his arms. If he cooks for too long, he's not very good.
”Hahaha, just practice more. By the way, if boss Yu is a cook, we have to order some wine and good dishes! Jiabao, let the man have a jar of champion Red first. Big, I'll have a good drink with your uncle Hu! ” Liao said brightly.
Jiabao nodded and said with a smile, ”OK, you go up first, order with the waiter first, and I'll let someone serve wine.”
The party went upstairs. Hu Dang smiled and said, ”there are so many people here. Why did you just catch me?”
Liao's family laughed and said, ”they can't drink me. Only you can have more drinks with me!”
“……”
Jiabao went to the kitchen and said something to Yu Qingze. Several masters arrived.
Yu Qingze nodded and said, ”you go up and tell them that if they want to drink champion Red, they'd better not order seafood. It's not good to eat together. I remember that the Hu family likes shrimp very much. Young master Zhao likes clams. Remember to tell them. ”
Jiabao nodded and said, ”OK.”
Jiabao took the top scholar of the altar and said what Yu Qingze had told him.
Hu Dang's family immediately said, ”that's just right. Don't drink. I'm here to eat shrimp.”
Liao Dang quit immediately and said, ”what's the matter? Come here and don't drink. What's it like? Don't blind yourself to the good food here! Shrimp can be eaten at any time. Just eat it again without drinking next time. Wine must be drunk today! ”
As soon as Jiabao heard this, his heart moved and said, ”Uncle Liao, the seafood in our store may not be able to eat in the future. He may withdraw when he says to withdraw.” He remembered that Hu Dang's family was engaged in shipping, and it was also the largest shipping in Tongshan city - Huihai shipping.
Upon hearing this, Hu Dang immediately frowned and asked, ”what's the matter? Isn't it selling well? How can I withdraw? ”
Young master Zhao likes fried clams very much. He immediately asked, ”yes, I remember many people like these two seafood. They are very popular dishes in your shop. Why not?”
Jiabao sighed and said, ”we can't buy seafood in the market now. All the seafood stalls have doubled the price of our Jufu building. We have managed to get the shrimp and clams we sell now. We sneak around every day, like thieves. Originally, we all suggested that if we couldn't get the ingredients, we should simply change to another dish, but brother thought that the guests loved to eat and couldn't disappoint the guests, so he insisted all the time. But it's not a way to go on for a long time. In case it's exposed one day, you won't be able to get food. ”
