Chapter 14 Grand Welcome(1/2)
Chujiang City, Grand Park Hotel.
"Why haven't you arrived yet?"
"I'm so anxious that I didn't answer his phone call."
"This morning Secretary Xu of the city government also specified that the noon banquet must use that kind of cherry."
There were many people standing in front of the hotel.
Assistant to the general manager Lan Bingyun, catering director Lin Chuanfei, chef of Zhenwei Chinese Restaurant, chef of Rose Appointment Western Restaurant...
More than 20 people were either anxious or curious, and the formation was so large that they seemed to be welcoming some great person.
When Ye Xiaofan drove slowly and turned around at the intersection, he also muttered when he saw the lineup at the door.
What kind of big shot is coming to Grand Park Hotel today? Should we wait until the crowd disperses before going in?
Ye Xiaofan slowed down even more and stopped at the door of the security booth, ready to check the situation before talking.
"Brother Ye, you're finally here, but I'm so anxious that I won't answer your phone calls."
"Don't stop at the door. Come in quickly. Captain Zhou, why are you standing there in a daze? Open the car brake immediately!"
Lan Bingyun and his group noticed this old tricycle and hurried over.
While impatiently scolding the security captain who has no eyesight.
"Oh oh oh."
The security captain quickly pressed the remote control and raised the brakes.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Ye Xiaofan had no choice but to start the tricycle again while asking Lan Bingyun.
Dozens of pairs of eyes, either eager or surprised, were cast towards me.
Wangcai poked his head out from the middle of the bamboo basket and looked at the group of strangers curiously, "Woof woof?"
"Of course I'm waiting for you, we've been waiting for you for almost an hour!"
"Ah? Sorry, I'm used to muting my phone while driving."
Ye Xiaofan apologized and parked the tricycle at the back door of the hotel.
As soon as we parked, a group of workers quickly came over to unload the goods.
The enthusiasm is much higher than yesterday.
It's really strange.
The chef asked his assistant to quickly transport some of the cherries to the restaurant.
Lan Bingyun and three or four strangers gathered in front of Ye Xiaofan.
"Hello, I am Lin Chuanfei, the director of Junle's catering department. Nice to meet you!"
A gentle man in a suit wearing gold-rimmed glasses extended his hand eagerly to shake hands with Ye Xiaofan.
"Oh...hello."
The few at the back, probably subordinates, didn't come forward to say hello, they just had smiles on their faces.
Lan Bingyun watched the cherries being transported into the hotel and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Today there are high-level officials in the city holding a meeting at the Grand Park Hotel, which is very important. They have designated the hotel to supply your cherries."
Lan Bingyun relaxed and explained briefly without emphasizing anything.
Ye Xiaofan could clearly feel the importance of the meeting.
Otherwise, so many middle- and high-level hotel staff would not be waiting anxiously for him at the door.
It’s just that my cherries are really so magical, why do they have to be supplied to this important meeting?
Are there any big names participating?
"Ah? I'm really flattered."
Ye Xiaofan smiled, the cherries that were only served yesterday became the must-have fruit for some important meeting today?
At this time, Lan Bingyun solemnly introduced herself, "I am Lan Bingyun, assistant general manager of the hotel."
"There were a lot of things going on yesterday, so I was negligent. Brother Ye, you have to take responsibility."
Take the initiative to shake hands with Ye Xiaofan.
Ye Xiaofan smiled and said, "I understand, I understand."
"It's 536 kilograms in total. I'll have the payment transferred to your card later." Lan Bingyun said.
"Thanks."
A bit of courtesy.
Seeing that nothing happened, Ye Xiaofan prepared to leave.
"Brother Ye, please send another cart of cherries over this afternoon."
Lin Chuanfei slapped his head and remembered the news from the customer department this morning.
The hotel's professional fresh-keeping warehouse can ensure the freshness of cherries for one or two days.
Ye Xiaofan got what he wanted and drove away in an empty car.
"Huh~ In the past two years of working in a hotel, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing."
Lan Bingyun said helplessly.
She has welcomed many important people.
A small fruit farmer? This is really the first time.
"Who says it isn't? But... I have to say that these cherries are indeed very delicious, fresh and refreshing, sweet and full."
Lin Chuanfei said with emotion.
He was lucky enough to secretly eat a few cherries that Lei Zizhou missed last night, and then he understood why a dignified boss would be so crazy for just a few cherries.
Lan Bingyun was silent.
"President Gao talked to me this morning. Cherries have been withdrawn from the buffet fruit list and will no longer be given to hotel guests. Instead, a cherry fruit plate is available, temporarily priced at 188 yuan."
"Instructions were given to have real taste, and the chef teams of the two restaurants of Rose Appointment developed cherry-related dishes."
"This is the first time that Mr. Gao has interfered with the restaurant's food operations."
Lin Chuanfei was filled with emotion.
"Dishes related to cherries, huh? What kind of dish can this be? Isn't it something dark like stir-fried hairtail with moon cakes, stir-fried watermelon, and pineapple ribs?"
Lan Bingyun couldn't imagine that a piece of fruit could be used for cooking?
She thought of some of the weird dishes she had eaten in the cafeteria when she was in college.
"Haha, cherry sweet soup, cherry meat, cherry pudding, rock sugar rum cherry and other cherry-themed dishes will help."
This can be seen from Lei Zizhou's reaction yesterday.
Once these innovative dishes are launched, there may be unexpected effects!
You know, currently there is no such thing in other places
Lin Chuanfei is looking forward to it very much.
…
On the other side, Ye Xiaofan called his mother on the way.
"Mom, you and dad go pick more, they think one cart is not enough."
Ye Tiezhu and Jiang He were extremely happy and full of energy.
There was no such good business in the past years. One sale would be a whole car.
When Ye Xiaofan returned to Taoyuan Village, his parents had picked five baskets, which could not even be loaded on the tricycle.
"Tan Yun came to the house just now and gave 10,000 yuan in cash, saying that he owed you money. When did he owe you money?"
Jiang He handed a wad of money to Ye Xiaofan, wondering how a second-rate man in the village could have money dealings with his son.
Ye Xiaofan made an excuse casually.
I don't want to reveal what happened last night.
"There are occasional rumors in the village that his character is not very good, so you should be careful when borrowing money."
"Understood, I will never lend him money next time. You guys rest for a while, and I will transport these cherries to Chujiang River."
Ye Xiaofan transported the two extra baskets back home and headed to Chujiang City.
Come and go, it's already evening.
At the entrance of the village, a dozen villagers gathered and chatted.
