Stepping into 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 now in season.
The two new dishes launched by Ji's Restaurant, which may seem ordinary, have a number of repeat customers as much 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, as if they were sitting in a lotus pond enjoying this seasonal delicacy.
It is also 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. You can boil it or braise it. Are there any wild green shrimps?"
Wild green prawns paired with wild rice is 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 shrimp and crabs in the store 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 decision on small things at home, and also on big things...
He is willing to act as a tool.
Xu Yin was a little confused when she heard that two other Michelin three-star restaurants wanted to ask her to order a batch of fresh shrimps and June yellow.
Does a dignified three-star Michelin restaurant have such a casual way of purchasing food? 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.”
Hearing his praise, Xu Yin’s eyebrows crumpled with joy.
Her mother-in-law is not selling melons. 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 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 swim happily in the low-density lake and play with the water plants and lotus leaves. You will get more exercise and more pleasure. Can the taste be bad?
For this reason, 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. I was afraid I wouldn’t find it if I spent money on it.
They actually contacted two companies - they were the contractors who sold feed and lake fresh products online under the name "Crescent Lake Wild Aquatic Products".
Received purchase calls from two Michelin three-star restaurants, both of them were very 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 to buy a few samples.
Everyone felt puzzled and said jokingly: "Hey, you don't even dare to eat the fish you raise?"
There are large farmers in the local area who own the fields to grow rice. The rice sold to the market has seeds mixed with insect-repelling red powder and sprayed with pesticides frequently during the planting period. Even the large farmers themselves do not 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 chef of the restaurant found that it was still a bit 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 discovered that they were shoddy, the entire batch of goods had been replaced by feed-raised fish, shrimp and crab.
Those two restaurants were very angry. No wonder there were frequent complaints from customers recently. At first, they thought it was a trap sent by their competitors, so they paid some money to settle the matter.
But as more and more people complained, the restaurant's reputation declined day by day, and its sales dropped for several days in a row, making it clear that the seriousness of the problem was real. 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!
I had nothing to say, so I sued the two farmers directly.
The supply contract spelled out in black and white the terms of liability for shoddy goods. 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.
The transfer price was much higher than before, and it required a one-time payment. Many people in the village were interested, but they were too expensive and did not take action. In the end, Xu Yin subcontracted it.
