() "Lao Jing, the quality of your shrimp seems not very good. What's going on?"
When Jingshan came to the store in the evening, Xu Yang told Jingshan that the shrimps were not very fresh when preparing the ingredients.
"Is there such a thing? Lin Long, go get a few boxes of shrimps and take a look!" Jingshan asked doubtfully. He immediately ordered Lin Long to get frozen shrimps.
Lin Long immediately went upstairs to get a few boxes of shrimps from the freezer and put them in water to melt.
"Old Wang, you inspected and accepted this batch of shrimps. How do you explain it?"
Jingshan checked the thawed frozen shrimp and found that the shrimp inside had turned yellow, and some shrimp had a peculiar smell. He immediately questioned Wang Xingui.
"Boss, you also know this. Shrimps are in short supply this season. I got these through my connections. And the shrimps are cheap, which can reduce costs!" Wang Xingui argued.
"Lao Jing, I think it's better not to use this shrimp. If the health department finds out, it will be troublesome! You also know what happened with Operation Oriental back then. The Portuguese health department is still keeping a close eye on us Chinese.
The catering industry opened.”
Xu Yang reminded kindly.
"Many restaurants now use this kind of shrimp, and nothing has happened. It's just you who are fooling around!"
Wang Xingui was very angry when Xu Yang revealed the scandal he had done.
"These shrimps have been ordered here, so use them first. I don't want to see such stale ingredients again in the future."
One reason is that the shrimps have been signed for and cannot be returned. The other reason is that shrimps are indeed in short supply this season, and it is difficult to buy a large amount of headless frozen shrimps in Portugal. So Jingshan had no choice but to give up.
"Yes, I understand, boss."
Wang Xingui agreed, but glanced at Xu Yang fiercely. Xu Yang glanced back at him lightly without saying much.
Xu Yang didn't take this kind of clown seriously at all. But if he dared to be presumptuous, Xu Yang wouldn't mind slapping him to death.
"Lao Jing, I do have a friend who has fresh shrimps, but the prices there are very expensive and they are usually provided to star hotels. If you want them, I can try to get some from him and give them to you to try."
Since there is an urgent shortage of shrimps this season, Xu Yang plans to take this opportunity to make a fortune. Of course, the secret realm is a big secret, so Xu Yang can only find an excuse to say that it is a friend.
"Does your friend have shrimp? How much does it cost? You also know that our carousel buffet is not suitable for using shrimp that is too good. The cost is too high and it is not cost-effective. I can try my Chinese food for a while."
Jingshan said in surprise that he did not expect Xu Yang to have a way to find shrimps, but when he heard that the price would be high, he hesitated.
"Our headless frozen shrimps are usually 15 euros per kilogram, and theirs are 20 euros per kilogram. But I have tried them, and they taste much better than ours. After all, star hotels have higher requirements for ingredients.
."
Xu Yang gave a price. The products produced in the secret realm must be high-quality products, so the price is naturally much higher.
“5 euros more per kilogram? The price is too high. It’s really inappropriate to use these shrimps in our buffet.
But can you give me a little less first? I can try it in a Chinese restaurant first and see how it goes."
When Jingshan heard the price given by Xu Yang, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. The price was beyond his expectation.
But it was not easy to find the source of the shrimp, so he thought of a compromise. He tried it in a Chinese restaurant first. After all, Chinese restaurants were for ordering food, so the worst he could do was raise the price of ordering food.
"No problem, it's just that I have something to do tomorrow. So, I'll call him and ask him to prepare it first. In two days, I'll go to his place to get two boxes for you to try. Anyway, the shrimp you have here can still be used for a week, so it's not very good.
Use it urgently."
Because he had to go through the transfer procedures tomorrow, Xu Yang postponed the shrimp matter for a few days. After all, it was too easy to get, and people might not take it seriously. It is better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake.
"Okay, I'll trouble you." Jingshan entrusted the matter to Xu Yang.
"Since everyone is short of shrimp this season, is there a shortage of shrimp at Jian Qiu's place?"
When Xu Yang thought of this, he couldn't wait to call Jian Qiu.
"Hey, Aqiu, are you short of shrimps?"
After answering the phone, Xu Yang asked straight to the point.
"It's lacking. Now there are no shrimps in Huaxia Li, Li's, Zhao's and other wholesale outlets. I always go to foreigners' companies to buy shrimps at retail prices. It's so expensive!"
Speaking of shrimps, Jian Qiu couldn't help but complain.
"That's why I'm looking for you. There are shrimps at my friend's place, but their shrimps are of high quality and relatively expensive, about 20 euros per kilogram. Do you want them?"
Xu Yang's face turned red and his heart stopped beating, and he lied again.
"20 euros is indeed a bit more expensive than the price for foreigners, but it is not unacceptable. Can you ask your friend to send me ten boxes first?"
Although the price was relatively expensive, Jian Qiu still accepted it. As for the quality of the shrimp, she still believed in Xu Yang's character, so she asked for ten boxes of shrimp.
"No problem, I'll call him soon and ask him to prepare it and send it to you in two days."
Xu Yang happily agreed.
A box of shrimps is about 20 kilograms. At a price of 20 euros per kilogram, ten boxes of shrimps are 200 kilograms, worth about 4,000 euros, which is also a small income.
Having tasted the sweetness, Xu Yang contacted several restaurant owners he knew, but unfortunately, they had either found a supply and sales office for shrimps, or they thought Xu Yang's shrimps were too expensive, so they didn't sell them anymore.
"Ayan, I have a friend Zhou Bapu who opened a 'Red Salon' restaurant in a comprehensive company in Lisbon. There is a huge demand for shrimp there. I asked him if he wants it."
Seeing that Xu Yang kept selling shrimps, Jingshan was going to ask his friends to see if they wanted shrimps there.
Xu Yang nodded and said nothing. He felt that the success of this transaction was unlikely because he had heard the rumors about Zhou Babu.
Speaking of Zhou Bapu, he can be considered a minor celebrity. According to rumors, he is a rather stingy person. You can tell what he is like from the nickname "Zhou Papi" given to him.
But things are always unpredictable. When Xu Yang gave up any hope, the deal was concluded.
Jingshan called Zhou Babu, and the two exchanged a few words, and then talked about shrimps. Jingshan took the opportunity to mention that Xu Yang had shrimps here, but they were more expensive.
Unexpectedly, this stingy Zhou Babu would agree immediately, and said that if the quality of the shrimp was really top-grade, he would purchase it from Xu Yang in the future.
"He asked you to get some samples for him to see first. When will you send them over?"
Jingshan put down the phone and told Xu Yang the result.
"No problem, I'll try to send the samples over as soon as possible. Thank you very much for this."
Another business was about to come to his door, and Xu Yang finally felt a lot happier.
Because he has been busy recently, Xu Yang and Jing Shan chatted for a while and then returned home to rest. Of course, he took the opportunity to enter the secret realm to prepare shrimps.
