    As Feng Qianguan became more famous, more and more suppliers came to Fengqianguan.Half a year ago, Jiang Ci had to go to the suburban market by herself to negotiate purchases. Now, calls come in almost every day.

    "Boss Jiang, I'm Zhao Hai, the tall one. I met you at a food festival a while ago, do you remember me? Our chicken factory is in the suburbs of City A..."

    Jiang Ci frowned, trying to recall this person in her mind, but her memory at that time was too chaotic, she really couldn't remember it.

    For a restaurant to operate well, the procurement step is very important. How to ensure the quality of meat dishes is stable, fresh and delicious, and how to find the most suitable seasonings and seasonings are all hard work.

    After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ci simply dug out all the business cards collected at the gourmet festival.At that time, her knowledge of the suppliers in city A was limited, and she couldn't see the name even after seeing through the business cards, but the situation is different now.

    "Master Mi." Jiang Ci smiled sweetly. Mi Ting has been in City A for more than ten years and is also in the industry. She must know more about the detours of nearby suppliers than she does.

    Mi Ting saw what was in her hand and understood.She didn't take the business card, but directly took a piece of paper from the table, and started to write.

    "Don't look at those, you can find these people." Mi Ting wrote a page, "The quality provided by these suppliers is the best in City A, but they have contacts with the Jiang family, would you like toIt is still unknown to send the goods to us. Of course, these companies cannot be discussed, and other companies can also be considered.”

    Jiang Ci has no psychological barriers to poaching Jiang’s suppliers—in fact, this is not called poaching. Suppliers and restaurants have a many-to-many relationship. For the quality of Feng Qianguan’s dishes, she will try her best toGo to the best quality supplier.

    Jiang Ci searched one by one according to the list listed by Mi Ting.Although was rejected several times by practicing Tai Chi, talked a lot after all.

    Of course, she also tried her best to find out about the suppliers who came to her door. In the end, she compared Feng Qianguan's raw materials to a higher level.

    If Jiang Ci wanted to update the supplier, she would not be limited to Mi Ting's information channel. Adhering to the principle of "asking is not worth it", when Qi Yan came to the box, she also asked one more question.

    Qi Yan was slightly startled: "Supplier?"

    "Hmm..." Jiang Ci thought about it, and felt a little abrupt.In her mind, Qi Yan is someone with a lot of information, but no matter how well-informed he is, he doesn't run a restaurant after all.

    Jiang Ci smiled: "Excuse me, I'll just ask casually."

    However, Qi Yan was silent for two seconds and said, "Yes."

    Jiang Ci looked at him in a little surprise.

    Qi Yan pursed his lips, and added: "The group restaurant also purchases a large amount of goods every day, and there are some familiar...bosses. The suppliers in city A, I don't necessarily know the channels better than you. But the suppliers outside city A, I can sort out some information for you."

    When Qi Yan said this, Ye Hongliang's eyes were a little strange, but he kept silent tacitly.

    Jiang Ci's eyes lit up: "Really?" Fresh ingredients are best purchased at close range, but dry goods and condiments are not necessarily the case.

    Qi Yan saw Jiang Ci's expectant eyes on him, and his heart beat a little faster. The fake must be real right now.

    He nodded: "Really."

    ...

    Qi Yan was very fast, and brought a list over after two days.Among them is a fish pond in a nearby small city. It is said that the water quality of the fish pond is very good, and the river fish produced are extremely fat.

    "This is Boss Lin, the partner of Qi's Restaurant." Qi Yan introduced.

    After getting off the truck, the dark-skinned man was about to call someone to come over to unload the goods, and he was flattered to be introduced by Qi Yan head-on.

    He is a fish seller. Although the fish are well raised, how can such a big company call him a partner?The other party is a magazine!Even if they usually deliver goods to big hotels, there is no boss who comes out to greet them in person.

    Jiang Ci looked at the fish in the truck. After three hours of driving, the river fish were still alive and kicking.She squatted down and took a closer look. The fish in the basket were very active, their eyes were black and shiny, and their scales were also shiny. The overall condition looked good.

    "It's delicious at first sight." Jiang Ci commented.

    The man saw what she was talking about, and quickly handed over the materials he had prepared: "Boss Jiang, our qualification certificates are here to ensure that the fish is absolutely clean and fresh."

    Jiang Ci flipped through the information, was very satisfied, exchanged a few words with the man in front of him, and after understanding the situation, he made an order for the supply.

    The man started busy unloading.Jiang Ci thought about the high-quality and cheap supply, then turned to Qi Yan and said, "Thank you, are you free today? I'll make hibiscus crucian carp for you."

    Furong crucian carp!

    Behind Qi Yan, Ye Hongliang's eyes lit up all of a sudden.This dish has never been served in Feng Qianguan, this is a real new dish!If Qi Yan decides to stay and eat, there is a high probability that he will be able to enjoy the meal too.

    Jiang Ci was sincerely grateful, with a smile in her eyes.Qi Yan's gaze touched her smiling eyebrows, and he was a little stunned for an instant.

    Jiang Ci waited for two seconds, but did not get a response.She tilted her head to look at the people next to her, Qi Yan seemed to be hesitating, her eyes were slightly drooping, and her earlobes were a little red.After the spring equinox, the weather does get warmer little by little.

    Jiang Ci asked considerately: "Today...is it inconvenient?"

    "It's convenient." Qi Yan recovered and said quickly.

    "Well, let's make it with today's fresh fish." Jiang Ci laughed.

    After Jiang Ci received the list from Qi Yan, in the next few days, different suppliers sent samples directly to the store.

    "This is potherb mustard from Boss Wei. They have been making pickles for three generations. Take a look at the quality."

    "This is the ham from Boss Jiang's factory. Their whole village is making ham. It is the best source of ham in China."

    Qi Yan couldn't make it to the scene in time, so he would also make a phone call to introduce the situation to Boss Xiao Jiang.

    While Jiang Ci was on the phone, she politely invited the delivery man to the store. This time, a shrewd middle-aged man came in. Qi Yan told her the base price of the man in front of her on the phone.

    Jiang Ci clutched her mobile phone and sighed softly: "You know the boss... there are a little more."

    There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then there was a light cough.

    Qi Yan changed the subject: "If you want a lower price, you can take a day to visit their village, maybe there will be a better source of goods."

    ...

    The quality of Feng Qianguan has improved again.

    Master Mi Ting does a good job in Jixianglou. The signature mapo tofu is in short supply every day.

    Boss Jiang is not only familiar with Master Pan in City B, but also Master Zheng Kun. Even Master Zheng Kun can be persuaded by her to make a video.

    Ordinary diners may not know much about this information.But as the industry, the news about Feng Qianguan these days has spread almost all over Jixianglou.

    The chefs kept silent, for fear of making the boss angry if they said something wrong.The small workers below can't control that much - they themselves are not valued in Jixiang Building, not to mention that Jixiang Building looks like they are going to die recently, if the boss dares to scold them, they can run away without any worries.

    In fact, Jixianglou can retain a little bit of people by virtue of its reputation, and other restaurants under the Jiang Group are even more unlucky.There is no chef in town, and recently there have been omissions in the restaurant one after another. After being picked up by the media marketing account several times, the customer flow has dropped a lot.

    Jiang Zhe was in a state of desperation, knowing that Mi Ting took Jiang Ci to dig his own supply channel, but he had no choice but to do it - the supplier was going to do business, and he paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.Can you stop someone else's contract?he can not.

    He can only be angry.

    This low air pressure also spread to the entire Jiang family.

    When Jiang Xiaotang saw the news in the family group, she raised her head in disbelief and looked at the girlfriends who were arranging flowers together.

    The best friend was serving a perfume lily, thinking about where to put the focus flower, noticed Jiang Xiaotang's gaze next to her, and looked back wonderingly: "Xiaotang, what's wrong?"

    The best friend in front of her was smiling, Jiang Xiaotang hesitated for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Your father and... Feng Qianguan cooperated?"

    The best friend didn't expect Jiang Xiaotang to ask this question, she was stunned for two seconds, and whispered: "No way? I don't know very well."

    Jiang Xiaotang exhaled.Sure enough, they have been best friends for so many years, and their parents have cooperated for more than ten years, so it is impossible to say that they betrayed.

    There must be some misunderstanding.

    After inserting the last focus flower, Jiang Xiaotang sprayed some water on the whole work and took a photo with satisfaction.There were still activities to do next, so she went to the bathroom first, and when she came back, she heard the whispers of her best friend who had finished arranging the flowers.

    "Xiaoqing, your dad really cooperated with Feng Qianguan? Can you bring some chestnut cakes for me? I can't get it no matter what."

    "Yeah, I'll think of a way. Don't tell Xiaotang, she probably won't be happy."

    "However, there is no other way. In Shangyanshang, Jiang's purchase of goods from our house has decreased recently. Could it be that the goods are just hoarded there and rotted? Of course we have to continue to find places to sell. Feng Qianguan is still in a hurryExpansion, although the volume is small now, I don’t know how it will develop in the future, so it’s better to go online first.”

    "Doing business is not just playing tricks, and I'm with you, why don't you sell it to her? It's too naive."

    "Since you can't follow her sister's path, it's the right way to plan for yourself earlier. That Jiang Zhe has a conflict of interest with her. What's the matter with staring at a sister who has severed ties with her family all day long?"

    Jiang Xiaotang stood outside the door, clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't dare to push the door in after all.

    ...

    "They really said that?!"

    Guo Donglian hugged her daughter who was out of breath from crying, and cursed angrily, saying all the nasty things.

    Jiang Xiaotang was crying. For more than half a year, she felt that her self-confidence had been defeated. How did she hate Jiang Ci before?Can't remember at all now.At that time, her girlfriends didn't even know Jiang Ci very well, but now they secretly admire her behind her back.

    Moreover, it's not the kind of admiration in the circle of girlfriends!Jiang Ci is a serious businessman, her reports and shows are everywhere, and the big director of City B came to ask her to make a documentary. No one dared to mention this news in front of Jiang Xiaotang, but she saw it in the local reports!Unlike her, Jiang Ci will bring benefits to the families of her girlfriends, instead of planting those boring broken flowers like herself, and making false claims with others while inserting them.

    Her girlfriends might really be on her side, but her girlfriends' parents prioritized their interests, otherwise the business would not have developed to the point it is today.

    But what can she do?Jiang Xiaotang couldn't figure out what she could do, she had never felt so weak and incompetent for a moment.

    "Jiang Haichao? You don't care!" Guo Donglian could only attack Jiang Haichao.

    "How can I manage it?" Jiang Haichao is a little clearer than her, "Jixianglou still cooperates with those people! Now it is true that our demand has also dropped, preventing them from selling goods? You are not afraid of suing you tomorrow.head!"

    After slamming the door, Jiang Haichao went to the living room to calm down.

    He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the account that had been blocked for a long time to send a message. In the past six months, he sent a message to that account many times, but none of them were successful.

    Jiang Haichao thought for a while, clicked on the software, found a contact he hadn't used for a long time, and transferred 10,000 to him.

    A few minutes later, the 10,000 was transferred back.

    Jiang Haichao stared at the transfer records in a daze.

    This figure is the living expenses he decided to give to his daughter in the past. It seems that by giving the money, he can feel a clear conscience about what he has done.Later, the money was not given out, and when he wanted to give it again, Jiang Ci didn't want it either.

    In the room, Jiang Xiaotang was still crying.Thinking of his second wife's face, Jiang Haichao didn't want to turn around and walked upstairs silently.

    It seems... a long, long time ago, his family was not like this.

    He regrets it.

    On the second floor, after cleaning, Aunt Huang met the male owner of the villa in the corridor, and nodded politely.

    "By the way, Mr. Jiang, do you want to prepare sacrifices? It will be Qingming in a few days."

    Ching Ming?Jiang Haichao froze for a moment.

    Both his mother and ex-wife are buried in a cemetery on the outskirts of City A.Every year, the Jiang family will go to pay homage.Jiang Deyong was pissed off by Master Tian and Jiang Zhe in the Jixiang Building during the Spring Festival, and his physical condition is getting worse. He is still in the hospital, and he probably won't go this year.

    He and Jiang Haisheng have recently disliked each other, and Guo Donglian now has a problem with their entire Jiang family.

    After much deliberation, Jiang Haichao realized that he was the only one sweeping the grave.

    "Get ready." He sighed, feeling ten years older in an instant.

    ...

    Jiang Ci frowned slightly as she looked at the transfer records on her phone.

    Jiang Haichao's move was very subtle, she knew that the other party might regret it, and she wanted to show her kindness.But to be honest, she didn't have much idea and wasn't going to accept it.

    Little Jiang Ci's last thought was to sever ties with the Jiang family who made her suffer. Since she inherited her body by coincidence, she would carry out her wish.

    The door of the hospital opened, and Zhao Sulan walked out tremblingly, and Jiang Ci hurried forward to support her.

    "Grandma, be careful."

    "It's okay." Zhao Sulan was held by her granddaughter, full of joy. Recently, her little granddaughter earned money, not only adding a lot of big things to her home, such as dishwashers, things that she never used, but alsoThey forced her to be taken out for a medical examination.

    Zhao Sulan is very afraid of trouble. She feels that she is healthy and healthy, and she will follow the unit to participate in the physical examination of retirees every year.But as soon as Jiang Ci's face was pulled down, she had to agree.

    So he was taken inside and out and checked thoroughly.

    When Zhao Sulan came out, she was still full of resistance: "So what's the trouble?"

    But when Jiang Ci saw her pursing her lips and emphatically writing "Granddaughter took me for a physical examination" when she was asking for leave for the choir, she felt a little happy.

    In all fairness, Jiang Ci felt a little guilty.Sometimes, she would feel that she was more and more like Xiao Jiangci, and that Zhao Sulan was really her grandmother.But in the end, she is still somewhat different from the original Xiao Jiangci.

    She can only do her best to be good to Zhao Sulan.

    After the physical examination, Zhao Sulan asked in a low voice, "You are... in the store today, is it okay?"

    "It's okay." Jiang Ci tried to ignore the wailing of several employees on the phone, and said with a smile, "There is nothing more important than you. I'll be there a few hours later, it's okay."

    Zhao Sulan smiled: "That's good, that's good."

    After sending Zhao Sulan home, Jiang Ci hurried to Feng Qianguan.

    With Mi Ting's support, she was finally able to take time off as she is now, but in order to ensure the taste of the dishes, she still had to go back to the store early to watch.

    ...

    Boss Lin not only raises fish, but also raises shrimps. Seeing that he raises fish well, Jiang Ci also tries to order a batch of shrimps.

    When the live prawns were transported to the back kitchen, they were still very energetic, and the young girls at the front desk were startled by their bouncing power full of vitality.

    Liang Hui bent over to pick up shrimps from behind: "Oh, I added too much water, and the shrimps all popped out."

    Before the store opened, the little girl went to the back kitchen to watch Boss Jiang cook after finishing her chores.She was a little embarrassed at first, but after watching it a few times, she found that Jiang Ci didn't chase her away, so she became more courageous.

    Boss Jiang, wearing gloves, grabbed the live shrimp from the water neatly, and then... quickly picked out the shrimp line and cleaned the shrimp.

    After all, the little girl was a little scared, her eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but licked her mouth.

    certainly delicious.

    When making a new dish for the first time, Jiang Cishi will definitely do it himself.After processing a whole pot of shrimp, Jiangci added scallion ginger cooking wine, mixed with fresh shrimp and marinated.

    She is going to make a coir raincoat shrimp ball.

    The so-called "coir raincoat" actually refers to a layer of golden and crisp egg shreds wrapped around the shrimp.After frying, the shrimp balls are golden and crispy on the outside, tender and delicious on the inside.Deep-fried shrimp balls are not difficult, but the difficult thing is to fry the outer egg coating beautifully, the gold threads are fluffy but not loose, and they are caged on the pink and white plump shrimp. Just one glance can arouse people's appetite.

    Jiang Ci paid attention to the heat, tried a few times, and finally fried a satisfactory new dish.A large pot of shrimp was fried for four plates.

    Two dishes were wiped out by the employees in the store, and Boss Lin and other suppliers had a taste of one dish.

    "Boss, the remaining plate..." He Mingcan frantically gestured with his eyes.

    Regardless of his hint, Jiang Ci found an insulated box to wrap the coir raincoat shrimp balls.Qi Yan has helped her a lot recently, and she has reciprocated, whenever there is a new dish, she will leave a copy for him.

    ...

    When Qi Yan arrived at Feng Qianguan, it was already five o'clock. He brought his partners here today and specially reserved a box in advance.

    The partner is also from province A, and he has heard about Feng Qianguan's popularity for a long time, not to mention that Qi Yan offered to come to Feng Qianguan, of course he will not make things difficult for himself.Along the way, partners praised Feng Qianguan's report repeatedly based on their impression of Feng Qianguan's report.

    Entering the store, Qi Yan smiled when he saw Jiang Ci.Seeing this, the partner secretly thought in his heart, fortunately, he was right just now.

    Qi Yan thought of the message Jiang Ci sent him not long ago. After sending his partner into the box, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "Is there a new dish today?"

    Jiang Ci nodded: "Well, but it's been a while, if you don't mind, I'll put it on a plate and send it to you."

    "No need." Qi Yan blurted out. After meeting Jiang Ci's puzzled gaze, he was taken aback and explained, "The heat preservation box...just give it to Ye Hongliang, and he will put it in my car."

    Jiang Ci glanced at him inexplicably, why didn't he eat quickly?But meeting Qi Yan's gaze, he was suddenly speechless.

    A thought flashed in Jiang Ci's heart, and he was suddenly stunned. Two seconds later, he felt a little hot.

    She nodded and said nonchalantly, "Okay, you guys can order. Hong Liang, please come with me to get some."

    Ye Hongliang was so sour that his toothache hurt, and he was so hungry, why didn't he eat good things together!

    Qi Yan was absent-minded during the meal, but after his partner was shocked by Feng Qianguan's dishes, he crazily picked up the rice and forgot to talk at all.

    "Too, so delicious!" The partner who was eloquent just a moment ago, now eats like a repeater, muttering only one sentence in his mouth.

    Qi Yan ate in silence, thinking that he was sitting in Feng Qianguan with the insulated box Jiang Ci gave him in the car, and suddenly felt that socializing was not like socializing, even the partner with whom he was secretly negotiating a contract, at this timeIt also looks very pleasing to the eye.

    The partners didn't know about the existence of the coir raincoat shrimp balls, and Qi Yan monopolized a whole share, Ling Jian knew it but didn't know it, and Ye Hongliang was the only one present who was so hungry.

    The fish maw in white sauce on the table is delicious, but he still wants to try the coir raincoat prawn balls more. Just now, through the transparent insulation box lid, Ye Hongliang took a peek. The shredded egg on the prawn balls looks like a work of art., he seemed to taste the rosy egg shreds and the extremely sweet shrimp meat in his mouth.

    Ahhh, really want to eat.

    Ye Hongliang diverted his attention, stretched out his chopsticks silently, and when he stretched halfway, he suddenly froze.

    The last piece of fish maw in white sauce is gone!

    Ye Hongliang couldn't control it all of a sudden, his expression was slightly distorted.

    The partner chewed the last piece of fish maw in white sauce, and asked with concern: "Mr. Ye, what's the matter, are you uncomfortable?"

    "No...no." Ye Hongliang laughed, feeling that his heart was broken into pieces.

    The author has something to say:

    Ye: No, can't stand this grievance!
