Chapter 402: Tasting Meeting on the Other Side
Tuesday, January 1969, 1.
Blossom Restaurant.
Starting from the afternoon tea time, people started coming in with invitations.
When the meal started, the seats were packed.
If for no other reason, the early publicity was so good.
What is the oldest breed of cattle? What is the oldest breeding method? In short, just rely on antiquity. Who let them say they have a history of tens of thousands of years?
No matter whether others believe it or not, you have to promote it so that you believe it yourself.
After a long 6-day wait, even Declan couldn't wait any longer.
The Chinese said at today's meal that the beef was free for tasting, and you don't have to pay if it doesn't taste good.
There are also 5 chickens and sheep.
Is this how Chinese people do business?
This is the first time doing this.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Declan contacted the slaughterhouse directly and slaughtered the animals directly.
The requirement is that the most experienced master be in charge.
The ox is an 8-month-old ox.
It is neither too old nor too young, and has a moderate taste for almost everyone.
Chicken is used to make chicken rolls, and lamb is used to make lamb braised in red wine and grilled lamb chops.
These are all Declan's specialties.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, all the slaughtered cattle, sheep and chickens were delivered.
But there was a little episode.
A leather bag manufacturer took a fancy to cowhide.
In the end, Declan sold the cowhide for 2 US dollars.
This gave Lao Han and others who came along a little insight.
This was because Declan didn't want to bargain, otherwise without 3, this man would not be able to take away a piece of leather that was not bitten by insects.
The meat is sent to the cold storage for fresh preservation. After it is freshly slaughtered, it needs to be kept in the refrigerator for an hour before it can be used, so that the taste is at its best.
Then decompose.
Declan was the chef himself, and no one had expected that a chef could be so picky about butchering beef that this old guy was so impressed.
Except for the shank which is a little coarse, the rest of the meat is top quality, especially the two top-quality marinated cuts.
Declan almost drooled at the sight.
After dividing it, I couldn't wait to make one copy first.
When the aroma of meat filled the kitchen, everyone was intoxicated.
Don't be stingy, cut it into small pieces and give each person a piece.
Declan swore to his great-grandfather that he had never tasted better beef.
Even the second chef swore that the best meat he had ever tasted was much worse than this.
A group of people were more excited about this tasting session.
At 5 o'clock, things started to get busy.
All the chefs are cooking what they are best at, and even Declan is cooking himself. Today's steak will be made by him.
While the steak was still cooking, the kitchen began to smell like cream of mushroom soup.
It was amazing again.
Just smelling this flavor can whet your appetite.
More confident.
Decided to use mushrooms to make a meat sauce and discard the previous sauce.
At 6 o'clock, the door to the kitchen was opened directly.
The first salad was mediocre.
Few people moved.
Only a few noble ladies ate a few leaves elegantly.
The next dish is the most common cream of mushroom soup.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they smelled the scent.
After taking the first bite, I knew that today was not in vain.
Even if the following dishes are not tasty, this mouthful of mushroom soup is worth the price of the ticket.
Next up is the mushroom chicken roll.
After one bite, I felt like the ticket price was worth it.
The stewed lamb is even more delicious.
The grilled lamb chops were also juicy and delicious.
Below is the big head this time, the Hua Niu series.
First, each person was served a small portion of stewed beef. Everyone who tasted the beef was unable to describe the texture of the beef because there was just too little of it.
Many people finish their meal in two bites and then stare at the food outlet.
The beef dishes were served one after another, and they would be finished in less than 2 minutes.
There is no such thing as a gentleman taking only one bite.
The final steak is served.
Anyone who eats this meat will have only one thought: was what we ate before also called beef?
When Declan came out of the kitchen and saw everyone looking at him eagerly, he knew that he was about to soar to fame.
How much should I give? 8888? A bit too much? How about 6888? Will it make people feel that I am not sincere?
Then it’s 5988, which is full of sincerity and meaning.
Old Han, who was waiting for the news, didn't know what old man Declan was thinking, otherwise, if he knew that Declan dared to sell a piece of meat for a maximum of one pound for 5988 yuan, Old Han would have dared to break the contract in front of him.
Although the price is high, it is only the price of the two top-quality pieces of meat.
Adding everything up, you can make a profit of about 10 times.
Declan will tell you with a sincere look in his eyes that he doesn't make any money at all, really.
That night, we mobilized the funds and handed over the funds to Lao Han and others.
When I saw some of the remaining cattle, I bought them directly at the price of US$400 per pound.
When Old Han knew the price, he had already forgotten everything Bai Baoshan had told him.
In the end, Declan was very kind and thought that 200 per catty was too cheap and that his son was ignorant. If the quality was all the same, he would be willing to charge 400 per catty.
All of a sudden, the money doubled. How could Old Han not be happy? He was so confused that he couldn't find his way home.
However, there is still some rationality, and an equal number of cattle can be provided every two months.
No more.
As for exclusive provision, he is not in charge.
In the end there was no way.
Declan signed two contracts, one for the same number of cattle for two months, and as for transportation, just like this time, Declan sent a plane to pick them up.
The order of 1280 million US dollars directly increased to 2560 million US dollars.
Bai Baoshan doesn't know yet, and if he knew he would dare to kick him.
You have never seen money, right? Don't you know how to bargain? He offered 400, and you directly bid 800.
At the very least, the price can be 500.
After receiving the two contracts, Old Han immediately sent a telegram back.
Then I called again, and after more than 10 minutes, I finally got through.
Lao Han’s first words were “success”, and the Americans not only paid all the money.
It also paid deposits totaling $2 million for two new contracts.
People at home were even more delighted to hear this. They never expected that a small breeding farm would contribute 6 million in foreign exchange to the country in the next six months.
Bai Baoshan said it was nothing.
In later generations, if you don’t make 10 billion US dollars a year, you will be embarrassed to speak up in the circle.
Brosen Restaurant will hold a banquet in two days, but Lao Han and others will not be able to attend as there are so many things waiting for them at home.
There are no direct flights to the country, only flights to Malaysia. Everyone can only take a plane to Malaysia, then take a boat to Hainan, and then take another plane to Beijing.
When everyone arrived in Malaysia, they were full of worries. The brake flower was there, and any Chinese who went there at that time would be terrified.
But I got off the plane and onto the boat safely.
The moment they stepped into the country, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Han would never go out no matter what. He was an old man and almost broke down after these two rounds. He would let Bai Baoshan go next time no matter what.
Young people have the most ideas and are more motivated.
As for us old guys, it’s more comfortable to enjoy our retirement at home.
