With the appearance of truffle hot sauce, Chu Heng also turned his attention to the guests and observed their expressions.
“It must be Ho who makes the hot sauce!”
Blair once worked as a guinea pig in Xie's Hutong and tasted the first and second generation truffle hot sauce developed by Sha Zhu. As soon as the thing was placed in front of him, he realized that it was made by Sha Zhu.
He quickly picked up the porcelain plate and put it in front of his nose and smelled it carefully. A fresh aroma that was slightly different from what he expected refreshed him. He whispered in a low voice: "It seems that he has made some improvements."
As he spoke, he picked up the silver spoon at hand, took a small piece of the truffle hot sauce on the porcelain plate and put it into his mouth. After tasting it for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well... the spiciness this time is not so obvious. I should have changed the type of pepper, which made it fragrant and spicy, and also made the taste of truffles more delicious. It is really a perfect combination of freshness and spiciness. Every time
Every bite is a wonderful enjoyment that leaves people with endless aftertaste!”
Blair couldn't help but eat the remaining truffle sauce. After squinting and savoring it, he stuck out his tongue and sucked in his breath: "Hiss! I really should have paired it with a piece of bread or a bowl of pasta. They are
It’s definitely a perfect match!”
At this time, other guests also began to whisper to each other.
“Wow, what an amazing flavor!”
"This is my first time to eat spicy truffle sauce. I didn't expect that under the stimulation of spiciness, the freshness of truffles will become more prominent. I simply love this taste. Hey, beautiful lady, can you give me some more?
?”
"It was a very bold risk that challenged convention, and clearly it worked!"
"One hundred percent, it must be one hundred percent!"
The response from other people was also very good. Except for a few ghost guys who can't eat spicy food, most of them gave it very high praise.
Seeing this, Chu Heng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a perfect arc, and then turned his attention to the group of invited foreign businessmen.
Their reactions were similar to others, but the content of their discussions was different.
"This truffle sauce must be won. I have a hunch that it will be a big seller!" Gree stuck out his tongue excitedly. He was allergic to peppers and forced himself to take the first bite for the sake of performance. Then he couldn't stop and was completely
I ate the rest regardless of the risk, and now my tongue is numb from the spicy food.
"That's what I thought too."
"What price should I give?"
"We'll talk about this later when we get back, so as not to be overheard."
After muttering a few words, several people winked at the foreign businessmen at other tables, indicating that they would gather together after the tasting session was over, and then eagerly waited for the other truffle sauces to appear, hoping to give them more
some surprises.
The tasting will continue.
As time goes by, one after another products developed through the painstaking efforts of Sha Zhu and a group of chefs have been launched one after another, and the responses have been different. Some have been highly praised, while others have received mediocre responses.
In this way, most of these products were tasted in a blink of an eye, and it was past one o'clock, and many guests felt hungry.
Chu Heng had already prepared for this. When he saw that the time was almost up, he quickly asked Yin Gao to come on the stage, announced that the tasting would be suspended, and asked the chef to bring the truffle duck soup that had been prepared for the guests.
Since there was a lunch later, there wasn't much soup, just a small bowl per person to help them replenish their energy.
They quickly finished the bowl of soup. Needless to say, Zhao Yu's carefully prepared soup was highly praised, and each one of them was a little unsatisfied. Many people were clamoring for another bowl.
Chu Heng didn't tolerate them anymore. He pretended not to hear anything. After letting them rest for a while, he asked Yin Gao to announce that the tasting would continue. The waiters sent out truffle sauces one after another.
Go up.
It wasn't until around 2:30 that all the dozens of truffle sauces were finally served. Then the luncheon began, and the delicacies carefully prepared by Silly Zhu and the others were brought to the table.
What's more interesting is that few people eat the meals with truffles, and people pay more attention to the meals without truffles.
This situation is easy to understand. After all, they have been eating truffle sauce for two hours. No matter how much they like this thing, they have had enough at this time and need a change of taste.
But there was also an accident. Gree and the foreign businessmen were tasting the food with truffles one by one, such as truffle fried rice, truffle shrimp, truffle stewed chicken...
Even if they don't want to eat it anymore, they have to taste it all because it's their job.
"It's very good. It's no different from what we have in China."
"It should be said that it is made by a famous chef, and the ingredients are processed just right."
“It seems that fresh truffles are also very popular.”
"Then let's talk together."
"Go back and talk, go back and talk."
After a brief exchange of words after eating, the group of people began to eat happily. They were indeed a little hungry.
And at this moment.
Chu Heng had already led most of the people out of the banquet hall and moved to a small conference room on the fifth floor.
Silhu's group of cooks are also here, and they are staring nervously at the old accountant who is sitting at the conference table checking the scores.
"Bah bang bang!"
Under their gaze, the old accountant's hands were as steady as a rock and as fast as lightning, and the beads on the abacus almost pulled out sparks.
Different from the nervousness of this group of cooks, Chu Heng, Xiao Wenjing and others looked relaxed. What they wanted was the product and they didn't care about the specific ranking. At this time, they were chatting in a low voice about some interesting things from the tasting meeting just now.
Everyone had smiles on their faces.
Not long after this, the old accountant finished checking and handed a list to Chu Heng: "Leader, the results are fine, you can rank them."
"Oh, okay."
Chu Heng took it and handed it to Xiao Wenjing. She quickly selected the top ten products based on the scores.
After getting the rankings, Chu Heng glanced lightly, smiled and raised his head to meet the eager eyes of Silly Zhu and others: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Before announcing the list, I have something to say."
"I have said before that whoever can develop high-quality and low-priced products can also be included in the ranking. Now it is time to implement it. I would like to formally inform everyone that the product ranked tenth on the list will be included in the ranking.
Replaced by a high-quality and low-priced product.”
"Hey."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in Zhao Yu's group laughed out loud and looked at the others with pride.
"I'm sorry, everyone, please take the lead first." Some people shouted at their opponents and bowed their hands.
"What's the point of asking you to run first? It's only one point, what's the point of showing off?" Silly Zhu just rolled his eyes at him.
"Congratulations."
Some people also said congratulations without conscience.
Before this tasting meeting, they had an internal competition to see who could make truffle sauce that was both cheap and delicious. Obviously, in terms of product development in this area, Zhao Yu and the others won.
But despite this, Chu Heng still turned to look at the nameless guy in charge of product development and confirmed: "Did Master Zhao and the others win?"
"Yes." The young man nodded and smiled: "In the previous competition, the truffle sauce made by Master Zhao and Master He was almost the same in taste, but Master Zhao Yu has an advantage in terms of cost. According to the price you ordered for the truffles,
The cost is only a little over five yuan, which is more than one yuan less than that of Master He Yuzhu."
