Chapter 1356
Boss Liu smiled and said: "There is not much business in the first month. You are the only big customer. I am idle anyway, so I just delivered it to you. Don't worry, the things you want are all of the highest quality. I know your store has a good reputation, so I can’t destroy your sign.”
Wang Xiaoming smiled and said: "Boss Liu is interested. But the goods still need to be inspected."
"Okay, okay. Of course you need to see it, just check it." Boss Liu moved the box from the car and asked Wang Xiaoming to check it.
Wang Xiaoming said: "Ayang, pour tea for Boss Liu. Boss Liu, please sit down by yourself for a while. You'll be fine soon."
Yang Ming was making marinade in the kitchen. When he heard the noise outside, he went out to take a look. When he saw Boss Liu taking the initiative to deliver the goods, he felt something was unusual, but he didn't say anything. He and Wang Xiaoming carefully inspected the goods. The items are all dried goods such as mushrooms, fungus, scallops, and dried fish, as well as a lot of spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
When Boss Liu saw Yang Ming coming out, he smiled and said, "Please check slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
This time I asked for a lot of things, some of which were even beyond Yang Ming’s expectation. He turned around and said to Boss Liu: “Boss Liu is interested...” He found that Boss Liu was not drinking tea, but came out of it. , he looked at Yang Ming looking at him, and said with a smile: "Are you sure? I just went to the toilet."
Yang Ming said: "The goods are okay, the price will remain the same, right?"
"It won't change. Of course it won't change. It's still the same price. You are now a big customer. We will have a long time to cooperate with you in the future. You need to take more care of our business." Boss Liu said with a smile.
Wang Xiaoming straightened up: "Okay, I'm always easy to talk to. If the goods are good and the price is fair, I will always take care of Boss Liu's business. Come and weigh in."
After reading the dry goods, Yang Ming returned to the kitchen, opened the stainless steel vat for cooking the marinade, stirred it up, and twitched his nose a few times. He found that the taste of today's marinade was slightly different from usual. He scooped up the marinade with a spoon. After taking a sip, he immediately frowned, then stirred it with a spoon, picked up the chicken, duck and other ingredients from the bottom of the pot, looked at it carefully, and found nothing. His face darkened: "Ayang!"
Zhao Xiaoyang ran over quickly: "What's wrong, Master?"
"Who came into the kitchen just now?"
Zhao Xiaoyang shook his head: "No one. Didn't notice that I was outside just now."
"Come here and help me lift this pot of stew down." Yang Ming said.
Zhao Xiaoyang said in surprise: "What's wrong, Master, are you exhausted?"
Yang Ming said: "Well, the ingredients are not fresh this time, so the marinade cannot be used."
Zhao Xiaoyang simply couldn't understand: "It's not new, it should be usable."
"I said no, it won't work. Come over and help." Yang Ming said with a straight face.
Zhao Xiaoyang had finally seen Yang Ming's strictness. Just because the ingredients were not fresh, the marinade that had been cooked for more than ten hours could not be used. He tasted a little without giving up: "I think it's pretty good. There's nothing wrong with it."
Yang Ming said: "Do you listen to what I said?"
Zhao Xiaoyang saw that he seemed to be really angry, so he quickly helped: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you."
The two of them removed the bucket from the stove and poured the full bucket of marinade that had been simmering for more than ten hours into the sewer. Yang Ming also personally took all the chicken and duck meat used as the soup base to the nearby garbage. The box was thrown away.
Zhao Xiaoyang said very puzzledly: "Master, you can just empty the swill bucket. It's such a waste."
Yang Ming didn't explain, and brushed the bucket: "I'll boil the stew again, and I'll keep an eye on it. No outsiders will be allowed in the kitchen from now on."
Zhao Xiaoyang nodded: "Okay, master." He finally felt that something was wrong.
Yang Ming told him: "Take out the chickens and ducks in the refrigerator, wash them, and boil them again."
"Okay, master. Is this too late? It will be used tomorrow."
"You've got enough time, hurry up and get busy." Yang Ming himself looked through the kitchen carefully to see if there was anything wrong.
After Wang Xiaoming and Boss Liu settled the bill, they returned to the kitchen and were in a good mood: "Boss Liu is quite good at doing business. He actually delivered the goods to my door, which saved me a lot of trouble. Yang Ming, what are you looking for?"
Yang Ming glanced at Zhao Xiaoyang and said nothing. Wang Xiaoming saw that Zhao Xiaoyang was washing the chicken and duck again: "Isn't the marinade already boiled? What else are you doing? Do you want to make soup?"
Zhao Xiaoyang looked at Yang Ming: "The master said that the pot of brine just now was not fresh and fell down."
Wang Xiaoming said unexpectedly: "Why is it not fresh? Aren't they all bought from the same batch?"
Yang Ming looked at Wang Xiaoming and waved to him. The two walked to the corner of the kitchen. Yang Ming lowered his voice and said, "I just found poppy shells in the marinade. I don't know who put them in."
Wang Xiaoming was frightened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice became louder: "Why is there that?"
Yang Ming shook his head: "I don't know. Boss Liu came here just now. If it's not Boss Liu, it might be someone from the store. I guess the police will come soon. I suspect there are still poppy shells in our store, so I try to find."
Wang Xiaoming said: "Where did we get that one? Besides, how do you know?"
"Someone used this to make spices before. We don't have it, but we can't help but someone wants us to have it." Yang Ming's face was not very good. "It should be powdered. Look for it. If you see anything wrong, take it. Come and see.”
Wang Xiaoming hurriedly went to search.
Zhao Xiaoyang looked at the two bosses biting their ears in confusion. What on earth were they talking about? It was mysterious.
The two finally found two bags of things that neither of them had seen before in the corner of a cabinet. This is the advantage of a small store. They do everything by themselves, handle everything by themselves, and know the origin of everything. Yang Ming took the two small bags of powder and rushed directly into the toilet, including the bags.
Wang Xiaoming said: "Call everyone over in a moment and tell them not to let anyone enter the kitchen casually."
"It's necessary." Yang Ming said.
Wang Xiaoming said: "Let me call Mouzi and ask him to keep an eye on this matter for me."
Yang Ming nodded: "Okay."
When Liu Hao learned about this, he was very excited: "Oh my god, who is so damn wicked? Let me know about it, so that he can't eat and walk around."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the police to come to the door, and the rat was among them. He winked at Wang Xiaoming, and then said in a business-like manner: "Someone has complained about the illegal use of prohibited items to make spices here. Please cooperate with us." Check, if there is no such thing, we will clear everyone's name."
In fact, many restaurants have used poppy shells as spices, which are said to improve the freshness. This is almost an unspoken rule in the industry. However, if it is really investigated, this kind of behavior is a crime of deceiving others to take drugs, and will be fined, closed for rectification, and revoked. A license is considered a minor offense, but serious offenses may lead to criminal liability.
