Qi Chao picked up the cup and took a sip, then put it down and continued eating.
"Here comes the casserole, please let it go, be careful it's hot."
The waiter enthusiastically brought the casserole in front of everyone.
Bai Zhe ordered a mutton casserole for Qin Shuya, and said with a smile: "You need to replenish your body, you eat this."
Looking at the steaming casserole that was still boiling, Qin Shuya asked in surprise: "It's so hot and there's no fire underneath. It's so magical."
Bai Zhe smiled and said, "You are silly. This casserole has its own heat preservation device. It must be boiling as soon as it is taken off the fire. Quick, just press the vegetables in."
As he spoke, he took out a pot of green vegetables from the cart and placed it next to Qin Shuya.
"Come on, come on, one serving per person, press the green vegetables into the casserole while it's hot."
Bai Zhe personally delivered the vegetables to Li Ke and Gao Huilin. The three of them looked at the pot full of vegetables and the hot casserole and were at a loss.
"You are stupid, look at me." Qi Chao took the lead, picked up the vegetables with chopsticks, and pressed them in.
Sure enough, after using three chopsticks, all the soup from the casserole flowed onto the plate on which the casserole was placed.
The three of them followed Qi Chao's example and pressed into the casserole one by one.
"This is so magical." Looking at the green vegetables being blanched in the casserole, the eyes of the three beauties were shining brightly.
"Boss, Chili!" Qi Chao shouted.
"Coming."
The chubby boss walked up to Qi Chao with a large spoonful of hot chili fried in oil in one hand and a small spoon in the other.
"How much?" the boss asked kindly.
Qi Chao pointed at the casserole: "Three spoons!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Three spoonfuls of chili peppers were poured into the casserole, and there was an immediate explosion.
Large pieces of bright red dried chili peppers are spread all over the place, and a rich aroma suddenly hits your face.
This ultimate visual experience makes everyone's taste buds quickly hit one after another, and the heat immediately rises, making people enjoy it very much.
"Give me some, give me some." Qin Shuya said happily and quickly stepped aside.
Several people put the chili peppers in turn and then sat back down.
"Brother Zhe, I can't believe that you have such delicious food in Lishui. It's so delicious." Gao Huilin's face was flushed with a happy smile.
"We have a lot of delicious food here. You will know if you come here a few more times."
"Well, definitely."
Li Ke also had a happy face. Although she had passed by this store many times before, she had never tasted this special delicacy because she was always short of money.
After four hours of slow cooking, the large piece of meat melts in your mouth. The fragrant soup overflows. You pick up the spoon and suck it into your mouth with a sizzling sound. The ultimate taste will make you Forget all your worries in an instant.
The boss quickly delivered three portions of Diaolu Shaobing and three portions of rice.
For a while, no one spoke, everyone was immersed in the experience of enjoying the food.
Qi Chao chewed the rotten meat in his mouth with satisfaction, took another sip of wine, smacked his lips and said: "This restaurant has been doing very well since I started it in the 1980s. If we wait for the industrial park to be built, it will definitely become even more popular. Brother Zhe, how about we open a store like this later?"
Bai Zhe swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile: "That's not easy, it's just a matter of your words."
Seeing that Bai Zhe agreed quite simply, Qi Chao shook his head and said, "You sound easy, but the formula here is complicated. The key is that we don't know how to make it."
Bai Zhe looked at Qi Chao mysteriously and blinked: "Do you believe your brother Zhe?"
Qi Chao immediately replied: "Whatever you say, in this world, except for my father, I believe in Brother Zhe."
Bai Zhe nodded: "Okay, you can bring me pen and paper later. I'll write down the recipe for you. The rest is up to you."
Qi Chao looked at Bai Zhe in disbelief: "No, Brother Zhe, is it so magical?"
Qin Shuya pursed her lips and smiled, just lowering her head to eat.
Others may not believe it, but she is the one who believes it.
As long as he can attract the boss's attention, Bai Zhe can recite the secret recipe in front of him.
Qi Chao thought for a while, but was still a little unconvinced. He stretched out his hand and said, "Boss, bring me pen and paper!"
The fat boss heard their conversation and was very surprised, so he agreed and brought a pen and paper to Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe wiped the oil from his mouth with a napkin, then smiled at the boss and said, "Boss, are you afraid that I will make your ancestral secret recipe public?"
The boss didn't believe that Bai Zhe had this ability at all, and kept saying, "It's okay, just write it down and I'll see if it's the same as our secret recipe."
[Haha, our secret recipe has never been shared with anyone. Even the chefs in the store don’t know about it. I don’t believe you can know it. 】
Bai Zhe took the pen and pointed at him: "This is what you said, you have to testify for me."
After saying that, he lowered his head and wrote the name of a Chinese medicinal material: "Zanthoxylum bungeanum..."
After writing it down, he looked up and smiled at his boss: "Is this available?"
The fat boss smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"
[Zanthoxylum bungeanum, cumin, bay leaf, cinnamon, these are commonly used spices. I don’t believe you can also write galangal, angelica, grassroots, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc...]
Bai Zhe grinned and continued writing.
At this time, even the waiters in the restaurant couldn't help but come over to see if what Bai Zhe wrote was correct.
But at the end of writing, the fat boss had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
After finishing writing, Bai Zhe raised his head and asked, "Boss, what I wrote is correct?"
"Ah, right."
[Calm down, you must be calm. Even if he can write the names of eighteen kinds of spices, he can never write down the proportion of each spice. One tael of peppercorns, one tael of cumin, half a cent of bay leaves, three cents of cinnamon... 】
(This involves business secrets and is VIP content. Please make up your own mind after paying...)
Bai Zhe chuckled and started writing the precise proportions behind each spice.
As the last stroke came down, the boss felt dizzy after reading the paper full of secret recipes.
[This, how is this possible? He actually wrote it accurately? ! 】
"Take it!" Bai Zhe smiled and handed the paper to Qi Chao.
Qi Chao was completely confused. He took the paper and looked at the words on it in disbelief. His eyes widened and he asked Bai Zhe, "Brother Zhe, are you kidding me? Do you know all about this?"
Bai Zhe smiled and said indifferently: "Don't be offended by small things."
The fat boss scratched his apron again and again, and said hesitantly to Bai Zhe: "Bai, Mayor Bai, can you take a step to speak."
Bai Zhe looked back at everyone, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'm very happy."
After saying that, he stood up and followed the boss to the private room upstairs.
As soon as he sat down, the fat boss quickly handed over a cigarette.
Bai Zhe waved his hand and said, "No, just tell me. What do you want to talk to me about?"
The fat boss put down his cigarette and said hesitantly: "Look, the secret recipe is our family heirloom, and you are our parents and you won't look down on it. I want to ask you to be noble and don't give the secret recipe to others." .”
"Yeah, that's understandable." Bai Zhe nodded and asked, "Then what?"
"this……"
The fat boss was stunned by Bai Zhe's question: "My store was passed down by the old shopkeeper. I was offered five million to buy it and I didn't even agree. As the head of a town, do you still want to blackmail me?" Can't? 】
Bai Zhe chuckled and said, "Don't make blind guesses. I might as well tell you what I mean. I want Qi Chao to invest in you and set up a catering company. The headquarters will be located opposite. I will send a professional team to you." You guide, and you are only responsible for producing technology. As for the rest, all the rest will be handed over to the operations team to be responsible for recruiting franchises nationwide. At that time, we will still give you 10% of the technical shares in your name. Do you think this will work? If it’s okay, how about we go down and sign a cooperation agreement?”
After hearing what Bai Zhe said, the fat boss didn't know how to answer for a moment, and just looked at Bai Zhe blankly.
[I also recruit franchises, but the franchise fee is only about 100,000 yuan per year. If you give me 10% of the shares, how much is that? 】
Bai Zhe said softly: "Let me tell you this, in this catering company, I add the rent, facilities and operating expenses, and the estimated investment is 10 million. 10% is equivalent to giving you 1 million in equity capital for free. You can do the math yourself, don’t worry, I’ll leave you a phone number, call me anytime you figure it out.”
"Ten million?" The fat boss's eyes widened and he slowly looked towards the five-story Lishui Hotel building opposite.
I am afraid that the Lishui Hotel alone can cost more than 10 million, but Bai Zhe is so confident.
After saying that, Bai Zhe stopped talking, put down a business card, turned around and walked out of the private room.
After going downstairs, he saw that Qi Chao and the others were almost finished eating. He slapped the secret recipe on the counter and said, "Check out!"
The cashier said quickly: "Hello, the total is one hundred and six yuan, I charge you one hundred."
"Wait, no money is allowed." The fat boss ran down, walked to the counter and said to Bai Zhe, "Mayor Bai, I can't take this money."
Bai Zhe chuckled, picked up the secret recipe and said, "In that case, I don't have to pay the bill."
Saying that, he took the secret recipe and walked out.
This operation scared the fat boss out of his wits.
How could he have imagined that Bai Zhe would use this to threaten him.
Bai Zhe took two steps, turned around and asked, "Is that okay?"
Seeing the boss's confused look, Bai Zhe shook his head with a smile and said to Qi Chao, "Go and give him the secret recipe and one hundred yuan."
Without saying anything, Qi Chao took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and slapped it on the counter with the secret recipe. Then he turned around and followed Bai Zhe out of the restaurant.
After leaving the door, Qi Chao stuck to Bai Zhe and asked, "Brother Zhe, what do you think? Why are you giving me money and giving you the secret recipe?"
Bai Zhe stopped and looked back at Qi Chao, asking, "Are you short of this hundred?"
Qi Chao scratched his head: "Brother Zhe is joking. I am the first brother in Wenwu County. How can I take him so seriously?"
"Then do you need help?"
Qi Chao nodded immediately: "It's lacking, it's quite lacking."
"That's it. One hundred yuan is exchanged for a technical backbone. It's a good deal."
After listening to Bai Zhe's words, Qi Chao realized what he was doing and hurriedly chased after him: "Brother Zhe, I understand. You are doing a dimensionality reduction attack!"
