C77 – What’s the Price
“What do you mean, I’m not good at cooking?” Chen Yaru was unconvinced.
Hong Yan chuckled. “Alright, you two stop acting in front of me. Since there’s nothing else, let’s go now. Besides, I really want to see what the real taste of this dish is. “
“Alright then.” Chen Yaru could only agree. “It’s a pity that it’s my vegetable egg soup.”
She indeed felt that it was a pity. It was her first time cooking and it was so delicious. She could only give it to others at a cheap price.
The three of them took the car all the way to Jinshi. When they got off the car, Zhang Xiaoloong thought that they had gone to the wrong place. Because from the outside, Jinshi indeed did not look like a high-end hotel. Instead, she was sitting on a remote street, like an ancient house.
But after entering, Zhang Xiaoloong was surprised to find that the interior was really exquisitely decorated. The style was somewhat ancient and also had some fashionable elements. Zhang Xiaoloong did not know much about these, but in short, it looked very comfortable.
“Give these dishes to Master Lu. Ask him to send them over immediately after he is done.” Hong Yan passed the dishes to a waiter and instructed them to do some things.
About 20 minutes later, a burly man came out from behind. Not only was he tall, but his stomach was almost as big as the prime minister’s.
This man’s eyes were especially big, his nose was straight and his mouth wide. He looked like the cook that was mentioned in a small dish.
“Master Lu, why did you trouble yourself to deliver the dishes? Where’s the kitchen staff?” Seeing this person carrying the dishes over, Hong Yan frowned.
This Master Lu was Jinshi’s treasure. If not for the fact that she had the number one chef in Qingyang, her business would not be so good that other hotels would drool with envy.
“CEO Hong, I want to ask where you got this dish from. ” As Master Lu spoke, he had already revealed a hint of urgency. ” It’s not that I want to say, I have been cooking for decades, but I have never seen a dish that can bring out the freshness to such an extent. Furthermore, this is clearly just an ordinary little cabbage. How did it actually do that? “
This time, Hong Yan smiled. He pointed at Zhang Xiaoloong with his delicate hand. “Isn’t that so? It’s the dish that this handsome young man planted. I was just about to sign a long-term food offering agreement with him. Master Lu, how much does this dish cost?”
“Elder Sister Yan should try it first before Master Lu says anything.” Zhang Xiaoloong understood very well that although Master Lu was a chef, in the end, it would still be Hong Yan himself who would make the final decision. Therefore, her decision was very important.
“Alright.” Hong Yan did not use chopsticks. He used his delicate fingers to pick up a piece of vegetable leaf and put it in.
She had already eaten it once before, so she was prepared this time. However, when she ate it in one bite, she still felt that it was not real.
At Chen Yaru’s place, it could be said that she only ate a pot of salt water to boil the cabbage. But at that time, she had indeed eaten incomparably fresh and delicious food. She originally thought that no matter how delicious a plate of vegetables was, it would be the limit. Unexpectedly, after being processed by the chef, she immediately felt that the pot of salt water to boil the cabbage. It was really… Saltwater boiled cabbage!
This time, she actually ate a lot of happy flavors in the dish. For some reason, she felt much more comfortable all over her body. She even seemed to not pay much attention to some of the troubles in the past.
As the saying goes, once drunk, one can solve a thousand worries. But from the looks of it, if she were to worry in the future, she would have to eat this dish.
“It’s amazing,” Hong Yan praised generously. “After eating this dish, I feel like I’m hallucinating. Will this thing become addictive?”
Zhang Xiaoloong also picked up his chopsticks and put one of them into his mouth. In fact, this was the first time he had eaten a finished dish. He had eaten it raw before.
Once he ate it, he immediately found that this dish seemed to have a magical power. It seemed to be soothing people’s nervousness and negative emotions. The positive emotions such as happiness and happiness were also magnified.
He didn’t blame Hong Yan for being worried, because it had such an effect. It was like some drug that could easily make people addicted and harm their bodies. Although it was like a divine medicine when one first came into contact with it, unknowingly, the person who used it… It was already deeply affected, and it was extremely difficult to get rid of.
“Elder Sister Yan, don’t worry. This dish is medicinal, but it will only bring benefits to the human body. There will definitely be no harm,” Zhang Xiaoloong promised. “If you don’t believe me, you can take this dish to any place you trust to test it.”
He could still guarantee this. The reason why it had such a magical effect was because of this. It was probably because of the catalysis of the divine power. The previous corn had this characteristic. It was just that it was relatively weak. This dish was the first batch of fine food that he had carefully nurtured. Naturally, it couldn’t be any worse than corn.
Moreover, these vegetables might have also suffered some medicinal energy from the Nine Deaths Soul Returning Grass King, so whether it was taste or nutrition, they couldn’t be compared to ordinary vegetables.
“What do you think, Master Lu?” Hong Yan nodded seriously, as if he acknowledged Zhang Xiaoloong’s words, but he still asked Master Lu, “How much do you think this dish is worth?”
“For a chef, especially a good chef, good ingredients are really hard to come by. Although this kind of dish is not a rare thing, but the taste was incomparable to anything else. “Master Lu was in a dilemma.” That’s why I have to set the price. I don’t know how to start this. “
Although he did not say it directly, Master Lu’s attitude was very clear. This thing was priceless!
Hong Yan also felt troubled for a moment. It was precisely because this price was not easy to set, that she did not open her mouth. However, in the end, it was still pushed to her.
To say that the dishes could reach this extent was indeed the limit of delicacy. It was not inferior to any kind of delicacy in the world, but vegetables were vegetables after all. If you sold the two-headed abalone for the price of shark fin, bear paw, and bear paws, no one would buy it.
But if the price was low, they were afraid that it would hurt Chen Yaru’s face. They were even more worried that Zhang Xiaoloong would be angry and refuse to give the vegetables to her.
“Yaru, since you are your boyfriend, why don’t you discuss the price?” Hong Yan gave the ball to Chen Yaru again.
“No need, Elder Sister Yan,” Zhang Xiaoloong took the initiative to reply. “If Elder Sister Yan can appreciate this dish, Master Lu can maximize its value. It is already a success for me. As for the price, he said. Elder Sister Yan did not need to care about anything else. She just wanted to see how much she was willing to sell it for. Save enough of your profits and see how much you can bid for it. “
Hong Yan’s eyes lit up and he had a better impression of Zhang Xiaoloong.
“How about this, we will calculate the price of each dish at ten times the market price. Of course, if the price of ten times the market price is less than fifty RMB per kilogram, we will use 50 RMB as the base price, and the price of more than that will be 10 times the market price. ” She quickly said, “But you have to make sure that all the dishes are the same as they are now. Otherwise, this price will be a huge loss to me.”
