As the owner of a chain hot pot company, Zhuge Xuan can be said to have eaten hot pot all over China.
There's Jingzhou mutton boiled in clear soup, Mengzhou boiled mutton in white water, Shu spicy hot pot, Chuncheng spicy hot pot, and top-notch fat beef and other competitors. As long as he hears about delicious hot pot in China, Zhuge Xuan will definitely
I will go there to taste it immediately. After eating it for so many years, I am familiar with the taste of various hot pots and the quality of various ingredients.
After eating so many hot pots, Zhuge Xuan was less and less surprised. Even when she went to the island country to eat Kobe Wagyu beef, she didn't feel much.
But at this moment, Zhuge Xuan burst into tears while eating the unknown beef that Li Xuan had blanched in plain water.
too delicious.
Just like Zhuge Xuan once thought that she would never be tempted by any man again, but Li Xuan broke into her heart.
Zhuge Xuan thought that no hot pot ingredients would conquer her taste buds again, but she fell in love with such a simple piece of beef.
The original flavor of beef filled the mouth, like the taste of mother, and also like the taste of love. Anyway, there was no resentment in Zhuge Xuan's heart, only happiness.
After swallowing a mouthful of beef, Zhuge Xuan's face was full of horror: "Li Xuan, what kind of beef is this? Why can it be so delicious without any seasoning?"
"Don't worry, you can try something else." Li Xuan picked up another piece of lettuce.
The green vegetable leaves are placed on the plate, exuding a strange fragrance.
Zhuge Xuan picked it up and put it in her mouth, not really expecting much.
Vegetables are not like meat. Even if there is a difference in quality, there will not be much difference in taste.
The taste difference between the best beef and the worst beef may be dozens of levels.
But the difference between the best lettuce and the worst lettuce is only one level at most, and most people can't taste it.
What's more, it's lettuce blanched in boiling water without even adding salt, so what does it matter no matter how good the quality is?
With a very skeptical attitude, Zhuge Xuan still took a small bite.
"Wow!"
An incredible and wonderful feeling spread from my mouth.
Unlike the "explosion" of beef, the aroma of lettuce "diffuses", which reminded Zhuge Xuan of an ancient poem: Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.
This sweet and refreshing fragrance simply brings Zhuge Xuan into nature. When she closes her eyes, she sees blue sky, white clouds and fields in front of her, and the wind blows over, carrying a faint fragrance.
Wonderful!
It turns out that lettuce can be so delicious!
Next, Li Xuan gave Zhuge Xuan all the ingredients to try.
Every ingredient brought Zhuge Xuan an experience she had never had before. She never knew that hot pot could be so delicious.
Zhuge Xuan's appetite was not big, and after tasting all the ingredients, she was basically full. According to her past habits, she would not eat anymore at this time, but when she saw that there were still a lot of ingredients left on the table,
My eyes were fixed on it, and I actually wanted to continue eating until I couldn't hold it anymore.
"How is it? Is it okay?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.
Zhuge Xuan nodded desperately, as excited as a girl: "It's so delicious. Oh my God, Li Xuan, where did you get such good ingredients! This beef is more delicious than Kobe Wagyu beef, and there are also mutton, pork, lettuce, cabbage, and so on.
Everything is so delicious!”
Zhuge Xuan can be sure that the good taste comes from the ingredients themselves. Because from the beginning to the end, Li Xuan only used a pot of boiling water, adding at most a little green onion and ginger spices, without any seasoning.
Many catering companies emphasize the original taste, but even the most authentic Mengzhou boiled mutton requires a little salt before eating.
Li Xuan's ingredients don't even need salt. The juice inside the ingredients contains a lot of natural umami, which directly hits the taste buds and makes you addicted.
"If Shudi hot pot uses this kind of ingredient, do you still think it's bragging that I surpassed the top fat beef in one year and became the world's number one catering company in three years?" Li Xuan asked.
Zhuge Xuan's eyes widened: "What did you say? You can supply this kind of ingredients in large quantities!"
She was so excited that if there weren't other people in the restaurant, she might have rushed into Li Xuan's arms and used all kinds of charming methods to force him to give an answer quickly.
"Not yet." Li Xuan shook his head.
Zhuge Xuan was immediately disappointed.
If ingredients can be supplied in large quantities, Zhuge Xuan can hardly imagine the huge market space. Even her tricky taste can be conquered, let alone customers.
Zhuge Xuan believes that with these delicious ingredients, all hot pot markets will be swept by her, and it will be easy to surpass the top fat beef and become the world's number one. It is only a matter of time.
Unfortunately, it cannot be supplied in large quantities...that's not possible. If it can only be supplied to one or a few restaurants, the influence will be too small.
However, Zhuge Xuan figured out the mystery hidden in Li Xuan's words.
What does it mean that it can't be done yet, but it can be done in the future?
Zhuge Xuan suddenly became excited again, her whole body felt hot and her face turned red. She felt as strong as the time she and Li Xuan were in the parking lot.
Li Xuan said: "So I want to talk to you about the transformation of Shu hot pot."
"How to transform it?" Zhuge Xuan now realized that Li Xuan was not joking or bragging. He really planned to build a supply chain, and it was a very impressive supply chain, supplying all the best ingredients in the world.
A delicious treat that no one can resist!
Li Xuandao: "Based on the Sichuan hotpot brand, we will add a high-end brand and open stores in thirty large cities in China. Each store will only reserve ten tables and provide a limited supply of top-notch delicacies every day. For these stores, you will adopt a membership system.
Whether it’s a recommendation system or a recommendation system, the more high-end and mysterious it is, the better. In short, remember, the fees must be expensive!”
Zhuge Xuan was stunned. Judging from her years of experience in the catering industry, Li Xuan's plan was completely feasible.
Limited edition, membership, high-end, mysterious, once these words are associated with top-notch food, it is impossible not to be expensive.
And judging from the taste Zhuge Xuan just tasted, no matter how expensive it is, it is still worth every penny.
What she can imagine is that the number of members in each store will be a terrifying number, and ten tables will be full every day!
But Zhuge Xuan still has a question: "Open thirty stores at once, and they are spread all over the world. How to solve the food supply chain? We have no experience in production, preservation, and transportation. If we build it from scratch, it will take a long time.
.”
Li Xuan smiled: "The ingredients I provide are not that expensive."
