Chapter 341 Reception Building
The old patriarch came back late, so he was kept in the commune and had a meal with some old acquaintances.
There was no way, he wanted to come back with an empty stomach.
But he sent Zhou Xiaoya a few pike caught and also gave her a "fishing merit", so how could his old friends not treat him?
Good wine and good food, good cigarettes and good words.
So the old patriarch, who had drunk a little wine and eaten a lot of fish and meat, came back and shook his head when he saw Zhou Fubo waiting for him at home.
"Go back and tell your grandfather that the matter has been settled. The documents will be issued in a while."
"I can't take it tonight. If I drink any more, I'm going to fall down."
"Grandpa, I'll go back then."
"Let's go back."
Zhou Fubao came back on his bicycle and after he explained the situation, grandpa smiled and nodded, then announced that dinner was ready.
Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaoya came running over and asked, "Big brother, do you want to go fishing today?"
"No fishing today. I'm going to the city."
"Ok!"
After breakfast, Chen Feng went to the Tianjin City Yingbin Building alone, and brought with him the big tuna that had been stored for a long time.
He had already processed the fish himself, put it in a sack, and rushed straight to the reception building.
"Hello, I'm looking for Manager Lu Wu."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The receptionist took one look at the large sack in Chen Feng's hand and said politely.
It seems that even large restaurants now lack sufficient sources of supplies.
Lu Wu came over quickly.
"Oh, Comrade Xiao Chen, I have been looking forward to seeing you come."
Chen Feng was slightly surprised. He had only been here once or twice, and both times were a few months ago, but the other party still remembered it so clearly.
I have to say that these people may not be good in other aspects, but their emotional intelligence is definitely very high.
"Manager Lu, if there's nothing good to offer, I wouldn't be able to come here."
Lu Wu smiled even more brightly.
When you see the big sack, you know it’s a big shipment.
The Bohai Sea is not the East China Sea or the South China Sea. It is not easy to encounter and catch large marine fish there.
Small numbers and poor fishing technology limited the results.
"Come on, let's carry it to the back kitchen."
Lu Wu bent down on his own initiative, and he and Chen Feng carried it to the back kitchen one after the other.
There were not many customers in the morning. A group of chefs were chatting and bragging. When they saw Chen Feng carrying the big sack, they immediately surrounded him.
"Hello, Master Cao."
Take out a pack of Daqianmen and give one to each person.
In less than a minute, a group of people in the kitchen began to smoke.
Lu Wu didn't smoke, but looked at the tuna in surprise.
He recognized it.
I really didn't expect that Chen Feng actually got this thing, and it's extremely fresh. It looks like he has been ashore for less than an hour.
"You can still catch this thing in Bohai Sea?"
"Yes, I didn't expect that tuna could be caught in the Bohai Sea." Chen Feng said with a smile.
Chef Cao has been in the industry for many years. He used to work with a great chef in Tianjin City and competed with the Japanese chefs in cooking. He knows very well that this is the Japanese people's favorite kind of fish.
"Manager Lu, how do you know this is tuna?"
Lu Wu snorted and said, "When I was a kid, I lived in Japan with my father for a few years. At that time, this thing was very expensive, and my father couldn't bear to eat it."
"Oh, you've been with the Japanese before. Did you assassinate a Japanese general?" Chef Cao joked.
"That was before the Anti-Japanese War. After the September 18th Incident broke out, my whole family came back and my father joined the anti-Japanese war." Lu Wu saw the employees carrying a large scale over, took a look, and found it difficult to weigh.
"Cut it first, Lao Cao, can you do it?"
Chef Cao felt insulted and said stiffly, "Nonsense, Grandpa Cao also fought with the Japanese chef with his master in the past."
“I haven’t eaten it, but I’ve seen it!”
Chef Cao cut the tuna, and when weighing it, Chen Feng deliberately left 100 kilograms.
"You don't want to eat it yourself?"
Lu Wu hesitated for a moment and advised, "Chen Feng, I won't hide it from you. You should know that Tianjin used to be the place with the most resigned leaders from the Beiyang Republic. Most of them studied in Japan and were influenced by the Japanese culture. They prefer to eat tuna sashimi."
"Those old guys are rich, and they often exchange gold, dollars, and antiques for money in the ghost market."
"I plan to have Lao Cao prepare it and notify everyone one by one to invite these rich people to the restaurant for a dinner. The price will be at least 8 yuan per pound."
"I'll give you 7.5 yuan a pound, and the restaurant's connections will take 50 cents. This is the minimum standard."
"One hundred kilograms left here is worth seven hundred and fifty yuan, which is a lot of money."
It is more than a lot. 750 yuan is already ten years' savings for many city workers.
This is also the reason why tuna is currently very rare in the country and cannot be imported, otherwise the price would not be so high.
"Thank you, Manager Lu. My grandparents have worked hard all their lives and I want them to eat something good." Chen Feng didn't say that he really wanted to eat.
"Okay then, Lao Cao, make the sashimi for Chen Feng thinner and better."
"Um, Manager Lu, what do you think is a suitable handling fee?"
Lu Wu smiled at Chen Feng and said, "I won't charge you for the handling fee. You've given me a lot of business. If I can get the restaurant to attract those rich people, it will be a huge profit."
"When they come here to eat, they don't just order one dish."
Chen Feng nodded, indicating that he understood it very well.
Of course, he couldn't take all of the 100 kilograms of tuna, so Chen Feng only took out 10 kilograms and went to watch Chef Cao cook it.
The cooking technique of sashimi is completely different from traditional domestic dishes.
This thing mainly depends on the ingredients, and the cooking technique is not very important.
However, Chen Feng still learned some things, such as the sauces prepared by Chef Cao.
Cabbage, cucumber, carrot, vinegar + light soy sauce + honey + sesame oil.
It looks like a simple dish, and it is indeed a simple dish.
God knows how the Japanese successfully hyped him up as the "God of Sashimi" in the future.
The knife skills for cutting sashimi are also praised as magical skills.
But it has to be said that being a dog of the Eagle Sauce family still has many advantages. With the help of the developed public opinion platforms in Europe and the United States, Japan has successfully created various gods and masters.
In contrast, many masters in our country lack this kind of public opinion and propaganda help.
However, with the rise of our country in the future, the great craftsmen of the East had to step down from the altar and become a generation of "handmade craftsmen", which was also embarrassing!
"Xiao Chen, how is it? How much do you remember? Do you want me to demonstrate it again?" Chef Cao asked with a smile.
"Master Cao, it's okay. I think I've learned it." Chen Feng said gratefully.
Now is not the future, and these chefs never like outsiders to watch.
"That's good. This is what I learned from the Japanese chef." Chef Cao was very proud and felt that he had taken advantage of the Japanese.
"I never had much chance to show off my knife skills. Haha, this much tuna is enough for me to show off my knife skills!"
Well, he doesn't think this is his own technology, so he is so generous.
"Chen Feng, seven dollars and a half per pound. Count it and keep the money. It's best to deposit it in the bank."
Lu Wu came back soon with a stack of banknotes and tickets.
"This is the bicycle ticket you wanted. Luckily my master has one, otherwise I would have to give you my bicycle instead."
