In June, July and August every year, there are not many wedding banquets in major restaurants and hotels.
But from mid-July to the end of August, chefs are also busy.
It’s for the entrance banquet for college entrance examination students!
For a specific group of people, the banquet menu must be seasonal, the selection of ingredients must be in line with the identity of the banquet guests, and the name must be pleasing.
Anything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, or runs on the ground, as long as it tastes good enough, we will buy it.
At noon on July 16th, a teacher appreciation banquet was being held in the VIP banquet hall of Jiangxian Hotel.
A student from Jiang County No. 1 Middle School was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology in advance!
Only this year among the five high schools in the county, such a talented student was born.
Glory, great glory!
Parents of students are also powerful. Today, they hosted a banquet for all teachers and school leaders of their children from elementary school, junior high school to high school.
Including my family and friends, there were twenty tables.
The VIP customized menu is also of the highest standard for hotel banquets:
【Five Blessings】Five Color Cold Dishes
[Congratulations to relatives and friends] Stone Pot Duck Feet
【Golden Rooster Announcement】Hibiscus Chicken Slices
【Awesome】Black Pepper Beef Fillet
【Good Luck】Steamed Lobster
【Everything goes well】Braised abalone
【Bright future】Roast duck in hanging oven
【Big Picture】Honey Chicken Wings
【Laughter always】Spicy fried clams
【Bitterness comes after bitterness】Bitter Melon Stuffed with Meat
【Green out of blue】Boiled okra
【Good Words】Tomato Mullet
【Fruitful】Fruit Platter
Sincere parents of students, after thanking the teachers, wait for the school leaders to finish their speeches.
The dishes started to be served one after another.
In the first ten dishes, except for the big lobster that attracted the attention of all the guests and friends, the scene was pretty normal.
When the last dish of tomato fish was brought into the VIP living room, everyone couldn't help but sniff.
ah! What a strong tomato flavor!
As soon as it appeared, even the smell of seafood was covered up.
Just smelling the tomato soup, your mouth automatically starts to secrete saliva.
Everyone craned their necks to look at this red-orange soup. Its appearance and taste dominated the audience!
I don’t know why, but I always feel that this soup should be very appetizing and I want to drink it.
Except for the somewhat reserved school leaders, the teachers have already started to get started, starting with a bowl of tomato soup.
Hi! Tomato acid? Tomatoes are sweet!
A raw tomato that is 10% sour becomes 30% sour after being cooked into soup.
Swallowing it into my mouth, the sour taste immediately jumped to the tip of my tongue.
It went up to the tip of the tongue and then down to the throat, crackling and shaking the taste buds awake.
The thick and sweet taste is so satisfying that one or two mouthfuls can't satisfy you!
The mullet fillet has no fish bones, is cut into flower knives, and is rolled into white flower rolls in the tomato soup.
The soup is served with fish meat, spoonful after spoonful, and everyone at the table is immersed in drinking the soup...
After the sweet and sour fish soup appetizer, I ate more meat and vegetables than usual.
We were almost done eating, and the fruit platter came last.
Cherry tomatoes are usually served on fruit platters in restaurants or hotels. Unexpectedly, Jiangxian Hotel actually served large tomatoes today.
Cut the tomatoes into pieces!
People who have had tomato fish soup can't help but put a piece of tomato into their mouth.
After cutting the tomatoes, they no longer have the unexpected juice and embarrassment.
After being chilled, it tastes fruity and sweet, refreshing and refreshing.
One flap removes the greasy feeling caused by water and land fat in the mouth.
The platter is only eight tomatoes, with an average of less than three tomatoes per person.
My stomach is very full, and my mouth is full of regret...
A successful teacher-appreciation banquet was the first high-end catering in the county. After seeing off the VIP customers, the general manager called in the purchasing director.
"Xiao Jiang, can you think of a way? I really can't keep up with the amount of tomatoes! We can't turn down the door-to-door business, can we?"
The executive chef has been looking for him for half an hour, saying that he can come up with at least five new dishes using tomatoes of this quality.
Jiang Wenmei feels bitter. Good channels are good, but low quantity is also fatal:
"General Manager, this is a new variety that has just been cultivated and is still in the trial planting stage. If it weren't for the many years of friendship between me and the owner, six percent of the tomatoes in his land would have been used to save seeds!"
"Only six points?" The general manager couldn't express his disappointment.
But I comforted myself by thinking that their hotel had a monopoly on more than half an acre of land, and no one else could buy it at a high price.
"It's enough for our college entrance banquet. Sansu Restaurant is still eyeing it."
She couldn't complain to the general manager. She got up after four o'clock every morning and entered the village in the dark.
You pick and pack it yourself, and then drive it back by yourself.
"Don't be afraid of spending money, and maintain a good relationship with suppliers! If you do this, you can get more gift boxes from the hotel to VIP customers, and you won't be surprised if there are many gifts..."
The general manager is still willing to provide some resources to capable subordinates as long as they do not violate the company's rules and regulations.
Jiang Wenmei was not polite and picked a few bottles of good wine from the gift box, planning to give them to Grandpa You.
The old man didn't expect that while others needed to find connections to give kickbacks when selling vegetables, his family was still the buyer rushing to give gifts.
We are discussing with the carpenters how to build a shed that will keep it cool and breathable.
Six people worked from afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening to set up the shed in the tomato field.
On July 17, at eight o'clock in the morning, the summer child workers officially started their work.
The Western view at You Yu's house aroused a lot of discussion among the villagers.
What does it mean to hire nine children to look after a tomato patch?
Someone said with a smile: "Is this because I'm afraid that the children from other production teams will steal my words? Eating a few tomatoes is a trivial matter. If I pick them all for you, how will you pay for them?"
"A few cents per catty of tomatoes, and ten kids each need twenty yuan in wages. It's not worth it."
"Who would make a loss in business? The tomatoes from Madam Yu's house look different from those grown in the greenhouse. You can smell the tomatoes on the ridges of the fields, so they definitely don't taste right!"
If the little kids weren't watching, they would just pick one or two and eat them when they passed by.
Nowadays, people have made it clear that they are wary of thieves. How dare ordinary people take it without asking.
Manager Jiang comes too early every day. It’s just dawn after finishing the calculations. Even if I want to ask for a price, I can’t find her.
Pangpang happily acted as his supervisor, but the boy still preferred to play with boys.
You can play with cards collected from various snacks, small toys obtained from draws, and even compete with others to blow bigger soap bubbles. You can play all day long.
When the wages were settled for the first time, the ten little guys were extremely excited.
After all, it was the first time that I relied on my own labor to earn pocket money.
Some children took the money and went to the canteen, while others took the money and went home to give it to their parents.
Pangpang carefully put the money into the change jar that You Yu gave him.
You Yu asked him curiously: "How much money do you have to save before spending it? What do you plan to buy?"
The little guy pretended to be mysterious: "I want to save a hundred yuan, but I can't tell you what I want to buy now!"
You Yu: Our friendship is not very safe, you actually have secrets!
