Entering spring, everything revives.
The large and stretched lotus leaves add a unique touch of greenery to the fish pond.
Fresh lotus leaves have a fragrant smell and are a good partner for making lotus leaf chicken.
Several crops of organic wild rice planted near the lakeshore in early spring are also in season.
Ji's Restaurant's two new, seemingly ordinary dishes have attracted as many repeat customers as the King Fish Head's enthusiastic fans.
It’s also lotus leaf chicken. Ji’s restaurant’s lotus leaf chicken has a particularly rich fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, just like sitting in the lotus pond enjoying this seasonal delicacy.
The same is wild rice. The wild rice in Ji's restaurant is fragrant, crisp and tender, and tastes slightly sweet, which is the sweetness of the wild rice itself. A simple dish of boiled wild rice, but it is more delicious than the abalone-roasted wild rice and mandarin steamed wild rice served in a five-star hotel.
A repeat customer who had eaten once sat down and said, "Let's have wild rice. It can be boiled or braised in oil. Are there any wild green shrimps?"
Wild green shrimps paired with wild rice are a dish that repeat customers will never forget.
There is more than one Michelin three-star restaurant in Dahai City, but there is really only Ji's Chinese restaurant.
The other two are both Western restaurants. Seeing that Ji's business is so good, it's impossible not to be jealous. However, Chinese people prefer Chinese food to Western food, so there's nothing we can do about it.
The taste is different, but the ingredients are the same!
So, the owners of the two restaurants called Ji Rongjin. After a few pleasantries, they went straight to the point and asked him where the ecological shrimps and crabs in their stores were purchased from. They wanted to buy some too.
Ji Rongjin: "..."
how? Has he become a second-rate dealer?
But you have to ask your girlfriend about this.
Ever since I got a girlfriend, she has made the decisions about small things at home, and also... she has made the decisions about big things.
He is willing to be a tool.
Xu Yin was a little confused when she heard that the other two Michelin-starred restaurants wanted to ask her to order a batch of fresh shrimps and June yellow.
Is it possible for a dignified three-star Michelin restaurant to purchase food so casually? Shouldn’t we shop around, bid and finally hire the best?
Ji Rongjin laughed softly and said: "They brought the chef to Ji's to eat, and they tasted the wild taste. Those top chefs can analyze the quality of the ingredients from a dish. If they think it is good, they come to me. of."
Xu Yin still found it incredible: "But Yueya Lake is just a sub-lake of Yueming Lake. Aren't the products from the mother lake of Yueming Lake more authentic? And the water area is large, and the fish, shrimps and crabs are also big. The green shrimps here are too small. It’s okay to make drunken shrimp, but it doesn’t look good when boiled.”
Ji Rongjin said: "The mother lake of Yueming Lake implemented the contracting system earlier than your village. After private contracting, everyone was fed with feed, and the wild ones were also fed with feed for at least one or two years. There is no other aquatic product in Yueming Lake that is better than yours. The quality of the fish ponds is better.”
When Xu Yin heard his praise, she was so happy that her eyebrows turned into crescent moons.
It’s not that her mother-in-law sells melons, but the fish, shrimps and crabs from her fish pond are absolutely as delicious as any lake fresh food on the market.
Think about what they eat? ——Healthy fish food mixed with spiritual dew!
Not to mention that spiritual dew is something rich in spiritual energy that is unparalleled in heaven and earth. Even bran, wheat bran, soybean flour, rapeseed cake residue, etc. are all exchanged for those who grow these grains at home. All the rotten things were removed.
In addition, it is also mixed with powder ground from shrimp skin and ground kelp and seaweed, which is full of flavor and nutritionally balanced.
In short, except for the ugly appearance, everything is good. It is more nutritious and healthier than the snacks that children like to eat.
After eating, you can happily swim in the low-density lake and play with aquatic plants and lotus leaves. Now that you have exercise and increased pleasure, can the taste be bad?
Because of this, the breeding volume is extremely limited, and it is difficult to supply even one of Ji's restaurants, so there is no surplus.
After hearing this, Ji Rongjin kissed her: "Yes! Just reply to them like this!"
Xu Yin: "..."
It’s not like you don’t know our supply situation, so why don’t you come and tell me? Isn't this unnecessary?
The bosses of those two restaurants were extremely depressed because they could not get the supplier's contact information from Ji Rongjin.
I thought it was the origin of Yueya Lake, but I was afraid I wouldn’t find it if I spent money on it.
They actually contacted two companies - they were the contractors who advertised themselves as "Crescent Lake Wild Aquatic Products" on the Internet but were actually selling feed and lake fresh products.
After receiving purchase calls from two Michelin-starred restaurants, both of them were extremely excited.
Look! Ji's didn't accept their goods, but someone still did. It also has three Michelin stars, but the price quoted is higher than Ji's.
However, they were also smart. The restaurant asked them to provide samples. Instead of providing their own aquatic products, they paid and asked other contractors how many they bought.
Everyone felt puzzled and said jokingly: "Hey, you don't even dare to eat the fish you raise?"
There are big farmers in the local area who farm rice in private fields. The rice sold to the market has seeds mixed with insect-repellent red powder and sprayed with pesticides frequently during the planting period. Even the big farmers themselves don’t dare to eat it. What they eat is grown separately.
Ordinary aquaculture is pretty much the same, so everyone used this to tease the two of them.
The two farmers smiled cheekily and followed their words: "People outside say that the ones you raise are delicious. Buy some and try them."
They brought the Huxian they bought to the restaurant.
After tasting the food, the restaurant chef found that it was still a little different from the ones from Ji's Restaurant, but compared with those sent by other suppliers, the quality was much better. They immediately decided on these two companies and sent people to sign supply contracts with them.
When it comes to supplying goods, you can’t just ask other contractors to buy them, right?
So, apart from buying the first few batches from other contractors, I started to mix in my own feed and breeding products little by little.
At first, I was timid and didn't dare to mix too much. I mixed ten or eight kilograms of it into fifty kilograms.
After a few times, I saw that the restaurant didn't seem to notice, so I gradually became more courageous. When the restaurant found out that they were passing off inferior products, the entire batch had been replaced by feed-raised fish, shrimps and crabs.
Those two restaurants were very angry. No wonder customers often complained recently. At first, they thought it was a trap sent by their competitors, so they paid some money to settle the matter.
However, as more and more people complained, the restaurant's reputation declined day by day, and its sales dropped for several days. The seriousness of the problem was realized. After careful investigation, it was found that the problem was with the supply.
All the seized goods were taken to the quality inspection unit for testing. When the results came out, the two bosses were livid with anger.
They spent the highest price to buy a bunch of the cheapest breeding products on the market. They really thought they were wronged!
There was nothing to say, so I sued the two farmers directly.
The supply contract spelled out the liability clauses for shoddy goods in black and white. The two companies poured out all the money they had previously earned and were unable to pay compensation, so they had to transfer the fish pond in the end.
The transfer price was much higher than before, and it required a one-time payment. There were many people in the village who were interested, but they did not act because it was too expensive, and Xu Yin finally subcontracted it.
