Chapter 2050 The banquet begins
Today’s truffle sauce tasting meeting was held in the form of a banquet and was roughly divided into two parts. The first part was for the judges to taste and rank the truffle sauce.
The second part is the luncheon, where most of the food is dishes cooked with truffles. This not only solves the lunch problem, but also takes the opportunity to promote it.
It's like hunting rabbits in the grass.
At this time, Chu Heng was talking to Xiao Wenjing while inspecting the layout of the banquet hall.
"In addition, you can urge me on the review of the overseas team. It is best to complete it within three days."
"Okay, I will contact Ding Si later."
said As they spoke, the two of them came near Yin Gao and the others who were directing people to arrange the venue. Xu Damao saw them and immediately ran over. Come: "Smoke a cigarette, team leader."
Chu Heng took the cigarette and asked him to light it, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel? Brother Damao."
"Very good "It's good." Xu Damao said with a smile on his face: "I learned a lot from Comrade Yin and gained a lot of knowledge."
"This is where we are. You still have a lot to learn." Chu Heng puffed on his cigarette and warned: "Remember to learn more and watch more, talk less and do less. You can follow Yin Gao in this period and look at your performance later. Arrange the task."
"Alas, I will humbly ask for advice," Xu Damao said hurriedly.
"I believe you can do this." Chu Heng smiled and patted his shoulder. The thing Xu Damao could let go of most was his old face. For profit or goals, he was willing to be his grandson.
This can be regarded as the fundamental reason for his rise and fall.
The two of them talked for a few more words, and then they saw a team member hurriedly came to the banquet hall and greeted the people in the room: "The truffle sauce has been delivered, a few people, come down and bring it up."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xu Damao was eager to show off, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal, then spoke to Chu Heng, and went downstairs with several team members.
After a while, these people worked together to push a trolley in. On it were placed a dozen white porcelain jars containing various truffle pastes. They were about the same size as an urn, and each had a pattern on it. Number.
Si Zhu and his gang of cooks developed a total of more than 60 kinds of truffle sauce. Several people went up and down several times before finally bringing the things up.
More than sixty white porcelain jars were placed on the rostrum, looking like a funeral hall in a crematorium.
“Put them in order, don’t get confused.”
After Chu Heng directed them to put things away, he walked around the room again. Seeing that there was no problem, he strolled to the kitchen.
The kitchen was also very busy at this time. Chu Heng had arranged for Si Zhu and his gang of cooks to be here. They were working in separate groups according to the previous divisions and were preparing for the noon dinner.
The whole house was filled with the pungent smell of truffles.
"How are you preparing?"
Chu Heng came in cheerfully. He was choked by the smell of truffles as soon as he opened his mouth. He quickly took out a mask from his pocket and put it on.
"Don't worry." Silly Zhu, who was making soup, looked up and shouted in a broken voice: "Even though this truffle recipe is from foreign countries, when it comes to cooking skills, we can be like them Ancestor, if I don't like it later, they will turn around."
"Haha, don't say anything else, but it will definitely not embarrass us." Zhao Yu was also full of confidence.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Chu Heng walked up to him with his hands behind his back, asked about the dishes they prepared, and had a brief exchange. He really couldn't stand it. The smell of truffles made him cover his nose and run out of the kitchen to chat with the hotel manager.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to eleven o'clock.
The invited guests also began to enter the venue one after another, and around 11:50, everyone arrived.
Chu Heng originally sent more than 130 invitations, and received replies and confirmed that more than 50 people would come, so they only opened a small banquet hall of more than 200 square meters. , ten round tables were set up, with six people sitting at each table. After it was full at this time, it neither seemed crowded nor empty, just right.
The person responsible for signing in saw that everyone was here. He immediately took the list and went to find Chu Heng who was chatting with Blair, and asked: "Comrade Chu Heng, all the guests have arrived. Okay, do you want to start now, or wait a little longer?”
“We’re all here, what are you waiting for? Let’s start now,” Chu Heng ordered immediately.
"Okay."
The man immediately turned around to find Yin Gao, who was going to be the host today.
Chu Heng also confessed to Blair: "It's about to start. I'll excuse you for a moment. We'll talk later."
"It's finally about to start. Go and do your work. , I can't wait to taste He's masterpiece, I believe he will surprise me." Blair licked his lips with a greedy look on his face.
“I think so.” Chu Heng smiled, then left and went to the rostrum.
A moment later, Yin Gaoshi, in a suit and leather shoes, came on stage. He had experienced this kind of scene more than once, and he was able to face a bunch of ghosts in the audience with ease.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon..."
He first said an opening speech, and then announced the rules of the tasting.
“This tasting will implement a scoring system, with the highest score being ten points and the lowest score being zero. All guests have prepared paper and pen in front of them in advance. Please rate this product as soon as possible after tasting the product. The products will be scored, and staff will go to collect them..."
After chattering for a while, the tasting began with the sound of melodious music.
I saw several hotel waiters who had been prepared for a long time, and at Yin Gao's order, they walked into the venue carrying trays. There were small porcelain plates on the trays, and a few dots were placed on each porcelain plate. There isn't much truffle sauce in the jar, it's about the size of a fingernail.
After the truffle sauce was distributed to each guest, the waiter left and the guests began to taste the truffle sauce.
“Not bad.”
“I think it’s average.”
“I don’t know what’s in it. It tastes weird. I don’t like it very much.”< br>
"I quite like it, it suits my taste very much."
After tasting it, the guests whispered among each other and discussed the content with mixed opinions.
Gree, Holt and other foreign businessmen were sitting at the same table. After tasting, they looked at each other and saw looks of surprise on the faces of the others.
“I didn’t expect that you can also eat such pure truffle sauce in China.”
“The taste is quite satisfactory, very similar to a truffle sauce we have there, but better. .”
"Oh? How is that model selling?"
"It's not bad. Although not many people are buying it, they are still being sold. Obviously there is a market. If we can lower the price, it will be great. A good product.”
“I don’t think it’s a big problem.”
After a few people murmured a few words, a waiter came over and collected the pieces of paper they wrote down. Go and leave it to the accountant Chu Heng who was transferred from other departments to do the calculations.
Immediately afterwards, the waiter brought the next product onto the scene, and then collected the ratings. In this way, it soon reached number ten.
This one is a truffle hot sauce that Shazhu made on a whim. He tried it with foreigners in Xie's Hutong, and the response was surprisingly good.
Chu Heng also has high hopes for this product.
