Not long after Albert left, Bailey called. "How many, more than a hundred tourists want to dig potatoes?" Li Han almost thought he heard wrong.
"Yes, Han, I estimate that more than three hundred people will choose to go to Potato Valley today." Baile said.
"I know, you should call Robert and Annie immediately, especially Annie, and prepare the oven immediately. By the way, has the potato fryer been arranged?" Li Han asked.
Fried potato chips are definitely one of America's favorite foods. You can't miss the potato barbecue festival without having fried potato chips.
"It's been arranged. I called the restaurant yesterday afternoon," Bailey said. "Design a menu of more than thirty kinds of potato chips and side dishes."
"There are more than thirty kinds, which is quite a lot." Li Han had to admire that Americans really know how to eat potatoes.
You must know that potatoes are grown in all 50 states in the United States, and many states even have urban potato associations. You must know that during World War II, potatoes were not only food, but also became the main material for making license plates.
Li Han has a collection of Tudou license plates, and a Tudou Museum, which Li Han purchased. "If you need materials, prepare them as soon as possible."
"Yes, but some materials require your approval." Bailey said.
"Do the fried potato chips and side dishes require any expensive ingredients?" Li Han muttered.
“It needs some truffles, and beef hanker, and of course pandora organic vegetables,” Belle said. “There’s a dish that needs aged cheese.”
"Truffle, black truffle, or white truffle?"
Li Han really didn't expect it.
"It's best to have some black truffles and white truffles, and some lobsters," Belle said in a low voice.
Li Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Aren't these potato chips a bit expensive?"
"Okay, boss, if you feel that these are not suitable, I will tell Totti." Belle said.
"Tell Totti that I will prepare this material as soon as possible." Li Han smiled bitterly when he heard that Totti wanted it. This guy really gave him a problem.
Totty Barnes, a former Michelin three-star restaurant chef, gave up his million-dollar job and came to Hank Farm in order to get the best ingredients and the greatest freedom.
A restaurant that he can freely control, with enough ingredients. Fortunately, this guy's innovative dishes taste very good. Tomorrow Montana of the Little Train Restaurant is getting bigger and bigger. Bella even told Li Han that she planned to participate
Michelin restaurant selection.
Regarding this guy, Li Han really has no good way to deal with him. The truffles are simple, and Li Han still has a lot of space. There are enough caves for mushrooms and the like. As for the lobster, well, there is still some space, so I hope it is enough.
The cheese is stacked in space. I don’t know if it meets this guy’s requirements. You know, this guy needs thirty years to use vinegar. Fortunately, his grandmother passed down a vinegar cellar that is enough for him to use for many years.
Li Han once tasted it, and it had a strong taste. It was good vinegar.
After hanging up the phone at Belle, Li Han began to prepare the ingredients. "I hope this guy can be satisfied with these cheeses. Otherwise, he has to buy Shangnian cheese. The price is not cheap."
Li Han put the cheese in the pickup truck and grabbed a few bottles of wine he brewed. Maybe this guy could use it.
"Hey, my boss."
As soon as Li Han's pickup truck stopped, the person he least expected to see appeared.
"Totti, my old friend." Li Han smiled and gave Totti a big hug.
"Okay, boss, I want to see the ingredients you prepared first." Totty was not as enthusiastic about Li Han as the ingredients in the carriage.
"The truffles look like they are of very good quality. What a surprise. These cheeses taste great. Oh, I like the taste of red wine." Totti, try them one by one. Well, this guy is really not afraid that his taste buds will be destroyed.
.
"Okay, boss, you are really amazing. These ingredients are great." Totti said. "We should have a drink to celebrate."
"No, Totty, I don't want to see a drunk chef cooking food for everyone." Li Han, a little regretful, came with wine.
"Okay, okay." Totti said. "These materials are great. I have to prepare them. It's a shame. What a good wine."
"Beef and mutton, are you ready?"
"Of course." Totty seemed very excited. "Boss, I want to tell you good news. Hank's beef and Hank's mutton are really great. They are the best beef and mutton in the world."
Li Han rolled his eyes, of course, it goes without saying. "Okay, boss, I know what you want to say."
"I have brought all the materials here. I also have to go to the Potato Valley." Li Han said. "When will it be ready here? I want Baile to tell you that the Potato Barbecue Festival will take place at half past ten."
, we don’t have much time.”
"Okay, for the Potato BBQ Festival, Baile will prepare it. Boss, don't worry about these little things." Toti said. "Boss, I want to invite Miss Pandora to try my new dish."
Li Han nodded. "No problem, Pandora will like your new dishes. Of course, I don't want a bunch of strange dishes."
Totti pouted at the strange dishes Li Han mentioned. That was an innovation. Well, maybe pandora would understand him better. "Goodbye, my boss."
"I don't want to see you, my friend."
Li Han got in the car, closed the door, and called Bailey. "Bele, I have sent the materials Totti needs."
"Sent it over?"
Belle was a little surprised that it happened so quickly.
"How are the preparations for the barbecue festival?"
"We're getting ready, it's half past ten, I think it's okay to come," Bailey said.
Some equipment was moved over from Lamu Lake, and it was OK to just build some red sheds. As for digging potatoes, there were not many people. Three hundred people, maybe ten pounds each, could not dig much.
Of the three hundred acres of potatoes, Li Han plans to use ten acres for harvesting by tourists and ten acres for a potato barbecue festival.
The yield of potatoes in the snow was higher than expected, equivalent to 1.3 times that of ordinary potatoes. This is a surprising figure. On average, Li Han estimated that there might be 60,000 to 70,000 pounds per acre. Such a yield made Li Han
Very happy.
Three hundred acres, nearly 20 million pounds, and the price of fresh potatoes in winter is nearly 150 cents a pound, which is a surprising number.
It’s not that I didn’t know, but I was shocked. Snow potatoes are definitely something. No wonder, in just one day, many potato tycoons have called. “It seems that we need to dry them more.”
Li Han, the car stopped at Tudou Valley. "Bele, there are a lot of tourists?"
"Nearly two hundred people." Bailey said excitedly. "Han, I've set the price of potatoes at two dollars a pound. What do you think?"
"Is two dollars too high?" You know, the price of colorful potatoes in supermarkets is just over one dollar now.
"No, Han, these are snow potatoes," Bailey said. "I did some research on the two dollars, and when I settled on it, the tourists said it was acceptable."
"Okay then." Two dollars a pound is pretty good.
Li Han was very happy. It was really exciting news. The potatoes in the snow had a high yield and a high price. What could be more exciting?
"Bai Lai, arrange for your employees to dig some potatoes to make fried potato chips and give them to every family that participates in potato digging," Li Han said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Bailey said.
"Wait a minute, tell Totty to make the sauce now and be quick." Li Han wanted the potato chips to be served with sauce.
"no problem."
Li Han has been in the Potato Valley all morning, helping with the work here, building more than a dozen red sheds, and expanding the potato chip sheds to three, but the supply is still in short supply.
More and more families are participating in potato digging. Li Han estimated that there were at least 300 people in the morning. "Han, I didn't expect it to be so lively here." Liu Xiaoxiao, returning from Buton, went straight to the Potato Valley.
"Why are you together?"
Li Han saw Natalie, Alta, Liu Xiaoxiao and several others.
"I called Natalie." Liu Xiaoxiao stuffed potato chips into her mouth as she spoke. "Well, it tastes really good, especially the sauce."
"Han, isn't this sauce made by Toti?" Natalie, after eating a potato stick, guessed who made the sauce.
"That's right."
Li Han said with a smile.
"Who is Totti?"
"The chef of the Little Train Restaurant," Natalie said. "The chef of a three-star Michelin restaurant with an annual income of more than one million US dollars is willing to come to Hank Farm without any salary."
"I don't want salary. Is this person crazy?" Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Is it Han's charm?"
"go."
Li Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I would rather he get paid."
Think about how many ingredients this guy used in a year. Those are not top-quality ingredients. Li Han feels distressed just thinking about it.
"Han, you took advantage of me and acted like a good boy." Liu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. "A three-star Michelin chef working for you for free is like an angel's pie."
"It's a pity that this pie comes with a lot of rocks."
Li Han said, "If you don't do it right next time, you may get your head smashed."
"cut."
"I won't tell you anymore, let's dig potatoes too." Liu Xiaoxiao said after finishing a portion of fried potato chips.
"Are you going to join in the fun too?" Li Han muttered, not having enough fun yesterday.
"I'm going to take a video." Liu Xiaoxiao said proudly. "Han, I have nearly 1,500 fans."
"So many, not bad."
"That's right, I want to take more videos." Liu Xiaoxiao said, slapping his forehead. "Why did I forget this?"
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the potato fryer, the sauce, and the free gift banner. After taking the picture, he clicked "Upload."
"Han, I'm advertising for you."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." He said as he landed on his butt, preparing to film the potato digging scene.
"Han, it's getting late, why don't you go pick up Pandora and the baby?" Natalie pinched the potato chips and said with a smile.
"I almost forgot." Li Han said with a smile. "I'll go back to pick up Pandora and the baby. If anything happens here, call me, or maybe call Bailey."
"No problem, we will take care of it for you." Natalie said with a smile.
Looking at Li Han leaving, Natalie smiled and said, "Alta, I didn't expect that a snow potato could cause such a big fuss."
"Not only these, snow potatoes, you can grow potatoes in the winter without a greenhouse. The value here is too great." Alta, it is conceivable that as time goes by, the valley may become more lively.
