It's rare for Xiao Qian's family to sit down and have a meal together, which makes them feel like they're in another world.
Looking at his father, his mother, Li Qingjue, and then himself, Xiao Qian couldn't help but feel in a trance.
"I heard from my mother that you went to discuss purchasing? Do you need to personally come forward to do this now?"
Mulan Restaurant now has twenty-five branches, and the daily consumption of ingredients is astronomical.
But Xiao Qian knows that Mulan Catering has a purchasing manager, so it stands to reason that this kind of thing does not require the boss Xiao Guoji to come forward.
Xiao Guoji is nearly fifty years old, but he has a handsome figure and a pretty old-fashioned attitude.
He was very thin in his previous life and has remained in good shape now that his life has improved.
"Mulan is pursuing quality now, and ordinary ingredients simply don't meet the requirements. If you want to find good ingredients, you have to negotiate with each family."
As far as Xiao Qian knows, Mulan Restaurant is currently undergoing industrial upgrading and reform, and will be divided into two parts in the future. One is an affordable restaurant specializing in colleges and universities, and the other is a high-end top restaurant.
As a school's affordable restaurant, purchasing ingredients wholesale from the market is enough to meet the needs.
But to be a high-end top restaurant and attract customers to spend money, it is absolutely impossible without top-level ingredients, top-level chefs, top-level operations, and top-level environment.
Speaking of this, Xiao Guoji's face was full of melancholy.
"In terms of purchasing ingredients, meat products are actually the easiest. On the other hand, it is difficult to find good sources of good fruits, vegetables, and vegetables."
Xiao Qian is also very clear about this.
Meat ingredients have already been well established in the market. As long as you have the capital and connections, you can buy Japanese wagyu, Australian lobster, New Zealand mutton, etc.
On the contrary, for vegetables and fruits, it is difficult to find sources of sufficient quality.
Especially for vegetables, there are a large number of supplying places in China, so not many are imported from overseas.
However, most of the products produced in China are based on weight rather than quality, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-end restaurants.
"If you ask me, searching for partners like this is not an option. It would be better if we contract the land ourselves and become a refined product supply source, which can guarantee the quality 100%."
Are you just chatting with your family anyway? Xiao Qian was talking nonsense.
"For example, pork? The pork currently on the market, most free-range and industrial breeding products, can meet the supply of meat products, but it is difficult to provide high-end pork. If we build a modern, high-tech breeding farm, we can raise it ourselves
, breed the best pigs? Then wouldn’t it be great to only use them for Mulan Restaurant itself?”
"Also? They say that Japanese Wagyu beef is so good. Is it true that only Japan can breed the best beef? Why can't we? We can also invest in research and development and cooperate with major universities to cultivate our high-end beef cattle.
Well."
"Among other things, the black soil in our hometown is the best soil in the world. Using such excellent land resources to carry out vegetable planting, cultivation, and animal husbandry development can not only drive the local economy, but also satisfy the needs of restaurants
Wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone to meet your needs?”
The speaker is unintentional? The listener is intentional.
Xiao Guoji's eating speed slowed down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Fortunately, Li Qingjue's words interrupted Xiao Qian's bragging.
"It's begun!"
After the press conference, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" officially landed on CCTV and began to meet the audience.
Because of the popularity of Li Qingjue and "The Unparalleled World", the TV series has attracted a lot of attention, almost to a terrifying level.
At this time, the TV sets in thousands of households are all locked to the CCTV set. We are just waiting to see the comparison between the TV series version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the novel.
"The Unparalleled", which has swept the country during this period, started playing again, and it was still so heart-stirring that Xiao Guoji and Ai Milan both forgot to eat and only stared at the TV intently.
"This song by Xiaonan is really amazing. Many of my friends praise it and say it is the best song they have ever heard."
Aimilan was even happier.
"What's the point of talking about our daughter? Stop singing songs. You are the best in everything you do."
Amidst the praise from her parents, Li Qingjue was as delighted as a good student who brought home a certificate of merit.
Xiao Qian felt aggrieved and wanted to argue and tell them that the song was produced by herself.
Think about it, forget it...
Be indifferent to fame and wealth and have no fight with the world.
After the opening credits, the plot unfolds.
As soon as you come up, you will see the wonderful scenery of blue waves like a mirror and red lotus like fire.
A boat was floating quietly on the lake, with a simple and elegant Taoist nun, played by Wang Siyi, leaning on the bow.
Although she didn't say a word, everyone watching had an idea in their mind.
This is Li Mochou.
Although Li Mochou, the villain and murderous demon in many people's minds, seems to be different, this Li Mochou makes people feel pity for him when looking at him, but this thought still pops up.
Almost all versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" start with Li Mochou, after all, that's what the book says.
However, the methods are different.
The Zhang Bearded version respects the original work more and is based on the description of the original work. The overall plot is good, but the bad part is that the special effects and fighting scenes are terrible.
The Baigu version starts with Li Mochou massacring passers-by just because their flags had the word "he" on them.
This was inspired by Li Mochou's story in the book that he once destroyed sixty-three warehouses and shipping companies on the Yuan River just because the words in He Yuanjun's name were on their flags.
An old monk just appeared out of nowhere and used the Six Meridians Divine Sword. What the heck is it that he hasn't beaten Li Mochou yet?
If someone who knows how to use the Six Meridians Divine Sword appears in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", isn't he just a deus ex machina who kills randomly?
Xiao's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also begins with Li Mochou, but with the cool and sad guzheng background music, Li Mochou's slowly raised palms are covered with blood.
When she raised her head and looked into the distance, the camera also deflected and came to Lujiazhuang.
The background music also became eerie and fierce, and the strong wind coming from outside the camera violently pushed open the door of Lujiazhuang.
Outside the door, Li Mochou was filled with evil spirits; inside, everyone in the Lu family was holding weapons and trembling with fear.
The play begins at Li Mochou's slaughterhouse.
Xiao Qian made a lot of adaptations and did not film according to the original work.
Otherwise, the scenes of Li Mochou, Wu Santong, the bloody handprints and the Lu family's reactions, and the scenes between Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang and Wu Santong would be too protracted and would reduce the audience's enthusiasm.
Starlight's film and television dramas are very fast-paced, so the fight scenes are bloody and terrifying right from the start.
Li Mochou was so powerful in martial arts that the people in Lujiazhuang were unable to resist him, and they died tragically one after another.
Just when Lu Erniang was about to die at the hands of Li Mochou, Wu Santong and Wu Sanniang appeared and fought with Lu Liding and Lu Erniang against Li Mochou.
The four of them fought and fled, and finally arrived at the broken kiln.
Ke Zhen'e, Guo Fu and Yang Guo appeared one after another, and the plot was straightened out.
However, the fight scene outside the broken kiln left the audience stunned.
"Wow, are these the pair of white eagles owned by Guo Jing and Huang Rong? Are these real eagles?"
"Are you stupid? Can a real sculpture coordinate with an actor's acting? This is obviously a special effect."
"No, the special effects are too realistic, right? Why can't you see any traces of the special effects?"
"This means that the special effects technology of Starlight is awesome. Gee, compared with the special effects of other TV series, I thought I was watching a Hollywood blockbuster."
Originally, this fight scene was about Li Mochou showing off his power again, beating Wu Santong, Wu Sanniang, Ke Zhen'e and a pair of white eagles into a state of embarrassment.
It's a pity that all the limelight now has been stolen by a pair of white eagles produced by special effects.
The audience is used to seeing 50-cent special effects in various TV dramas, but when they saw such advanced ones, they were a little uncomfortable, and then there was a sensation.
What is a work of sincerity?
This is an act of sincerity.
Although there are no big-name stars in Starlight's TV series, a huge investment in cost has made the audience enjoy it!
Especially the martial arts action in the play has the look and feel of a blockbuster movie.
Unlike other martial arts dramas, you can't tell the difference between each character's martial arts.
In this drama, Li Mochou's ancient tomb martial arts combined with poisonous needles and concealed weapons are so sharp and sinister that it makes people's hearts tremble when they watch it.
Although Ke Zhen'e is not very skilled in martial arts, he is worthy of being an old martial artist. Every time he responds to a situation, the audience can clearly see it and he is amazed by the success.
From the very beginning, this drama has already outperformed countless other actors and has firmly captured the hearts of the audience.
Young Yang Guo, played by Chen Xuedong, is full of ruffianism, slippery but resourceful. He relied on his brains to save Ouyang Feng, whose life was hanging by a thread in the Iron Spear Temple.
We obviously knew that Ouyang Feng deserved death, but for some reason, many viewers let out a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
Without realizing it, my emotions have been completely mobilized by the plot and I am deeply involved in it.
Even Xiao Guoji, who was busy with work, had to watch both episodes at the dining table in a daze before going to deal with business affairs with regret.
Seeing the look on his father's face, Xiao Qian knew that this drama must be a big hit.
