Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

This courtyard is the office location of Zhuang Xiaofei's company.

It is also a farmhouse restaurant that is currently in operation.

When Jiang Tao and Liu Zhiyuan arrived, several canopies had already been set up in the courtyard.

Three tables of guests were dining, chatting and laughing, creating a very joyful atmosphere.

Jiang Tao glanced at the table and noticed that the stainless steel trays on the three tables of guests all had a lot of grilled meat on them.

The tender lamb was cut into a deep reddish-brown color.

A gentle breeze carries the mouthwatering aroma of meat from a great distance.

To be fair, Zhuang Xiaofei's company's barbecue skills are indeed exceptional.

Before yesterday, Jiang Tao had never eaten such delicious tandoor-roasted meat.

Even without Tongzi's analysis and optimization, this technology is already quite outstanding.

"Hey Mr. Chen, I'm free, I'm free anytime you ask!"

"Is it still two? Where are they going this time?"

"Qingfeng Gorge Scenic Area, right? Great, I'll arrange for someone to come and grill it for you within an hour."

"Thank you for your help. Okay, bye-bye."

Zhuang Xiaofei led Jiang Tao and Liu Zhiyuan to the reception room.

In just one minute, I received two calls to reserve whole roasted lambs, and five whole roasted lambs were ordered.

This business is indeed booming.

After inviting Jiang Tao and Liu Zhiyuan to the reception room, Zhuang Xiaofei had his staff serve tea, water, and wash fruit.

They also brought out a plate of freshly baked tandoor-roasted meat.

Zhuang Xiaofei greeted the two with a smile:
"President Jiang, Zhiyuan, let me show you something new."

"This is a whole black pig that was just roasted today. It tastes really good. You two should try it."

"Is this black pork? No wonder it smelled so good when it was brought in!"

"Brother Jiang, please come first. Don't be shy with Xiao Fei. Come here as if you're at my house. We're best buddies!"

Liu Zhiyuan acted as if he were at Zhuang Xiaofei's home, showing no courtesy whatsoever.

As he spoke, he picked up a skewer full of black pork and handed it to Jiang Tao.

"The color and aroma are really good, the taste must be just as good."

After praising him with a smile, Jiang Tao reached out and took the meat skewer that Liu Zhiyuan handed him, tore off a piece, and began to chew.

"Crispy, fragrant, almost intoxicatingly fragrant, this tastes really good! No wonder Xiaofei and his group's business is so booming."

After finishing a piece of black pork, Jiang Tao smiled and gave Zhuang Xiaofei a thumbs-up in praise.

"If Brother Jiang likes to eat this, I'll pack some for you to take back with you when you leave."

"If it gets cold when you get home, just wrap it in aluminum foil and heat it up in the microwave for a bit, and the taste won't change much."

Zhuang Xiaofei smiled and said something polite to Jiang Tao.

He also wanted to make more friends with capable people like Jiang Tao.

As the saying goes, having more friends makes life easier.

When Zhuang Xiaofei's tandoor-roasted whole lamb restaurant first opened, business wasn't as booming as it is now.

His current popularity is not only due to his excellent grilling skills, but also largely due to the network of connections he has built.

Zhuang Xiaofei's whole roasted lamb in a tandoor oven initially became popular mainly through word-of-mouth recommendations from customers.

The three chatted and laughed, and quickly finished off a plate of barbecue.

When Zhuang Xiaofei asked the employees to bring another plate, Jiang Tao stopped him.

He didn't come here for barbecue today; he has serious business to attend to.

"Xiaofei, we've been brothers for so many years, I won't beat around the bush with you, I'll just say it straight."

"Brother Jiang is planning to open a chain of self-service barbecue restaurants in Beijing."

"After eating your whole roasted lamb in a tandoor oven yesterday, Brother Jiang praised your roasting skills highly."

"He wants to use our tandoor-roasted whole lamb as a way to attract customers to our barbecue restaurant."

"That's why we came here today to ask you if you're selling this technology."

"Of course, we're not looking to take your technology for free. If you're willing to sell it, just name your price."

After chatting for a while, Liu Zhiyuan got straight to the point and said the purpose of his and Jiang Tao's visit today.

Zhuang Xiaofei wasn't particularly surprised by Liu Zhiyuan's words.

Clearly, he had also guessed that Jiang Tao and Liu Zhiyuan had come to visit him suddenly today.

While listening to Liu Zhiyuan explain his purpose, Zhuang Xiaofei was also making his own plans.

The technique of baking meat in a tandoor oven is actually just a matter of one recipe.

Mastering the ingredients and the baking temperature are easy to learn.

This secret recipe, to put it bluntly, is just a thin layer of paper; it's easy to see through once you pry it open.

But if no one reveals the secret to you and you try it yourself, it's very difficult to make grilled meat that tastes exactly the same.

Zhuang Xiaofei's family's secret dry seasoning requires more than 20 kinds of dried spices.

Furthermore, there are strict proportions for the amount of each spice.

If the proportions of any spice are incorrect, the resulting flavor will be subtly different.

If the proportions of two or three ingredients are all wrong.

The resulting whole roasted lamb in a tandoor oven will taste completely different.

"It's not that we don't sell this technology; my dad sold one last year, it's just that the price..."

Zhuang Xiaofei looked at Jiang Tao and Liu Zhiyuan. He didn't have the idea of ​​keeping his family's barbecue recipe to himself.

With such a huge national market, he's already busy enough just managing to grab a share of Pingxian County.

Jiang Tao bought the recipe to open a barbecue restaurant in Beijing, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Beijing.

Even if the formula is sold to Jiang Tao, it will not affect his business in the slightest.

He can also get a technology transfer fee and make a friend who is quite capable.

Therefore, transferring technology is also a very beneficial thing for Zhuang Xiaofei.

Jiang Tao looked at Zhuang Xiaofei and asked with a smile, "What's the price?"

"5."

Zhuang Xiaofei looked at Jiang Tao, thought for a moment, and said:
“With Zhiyuan’s connection, I can make the decision to give Brother Jiang an additional 1 yuan discount.”

"Haha, my pride is worth quite a bit!"

Liu Zhiyuan laughed and cracked a little joke to lighten the mood among them.

"No need to go cheap, just make it 5! Your skills are worth that much!"

Upon hearing that the technology transfer fee was only 5 yuan, Jiang Tao readily agreed to pay.

In Zhuang Xiaofei's opinion, the price he offered was not high at all.

On his way here today, Jiang Tao's expected price had already reached 50!
Even if Zhuang Xiaofei offered 50, he would buy it without hesitation.

After all, this recipe is a special recipe that can be analyzed and optimized by Tongzi Ge.

After analysis and optimization, we can "surpass our predecessors" and obtain better recipes, resulting in better-tasting roasted meat.

In the future, this barbecue recipe will inevitably become a "secret weapon" to attract customers to their own barbecue restaurant.

Now you can get the formula for just 5 yuan.

In Jiang Tao's opinion, it's even a bit cheap!

"Then I'll have Brother Jiang provide a technology transfer contract first."

Seeing how readily Jiang Tao agreed, Zhuang Xiaofei's impression of him improved even further.

"it is good."

Jiang Tao nodded with a smile. He was in a good mood because he was able to obtain the formula so easily.

"Brother Jiang, Zhiyuan, please wait a moment. I'm going to the office to draft the contract and pick up the formula while I'm at it."

As Zhuang Xiaofei spoke, he got up from his seat to leave. Liu Zhiyuan smiled and waved, saying, "Okay, go ahead, we'll rest here for a while."

"I'll have someone send over some more meat skewers. Brother Jiang, you can eat while you wait."

After Zhuang Xiaofei finished speaking, he turned around and left.

A short while later, a waiter brought over a tray full of meat skewers.

Jiang Tao and Liu Zhiyuan ate skewers while waiting for Zhuang Xiaofei to finish the contract.

I waited for about half an hour.

Zhuang Xiaofei returned to the reception room with two contracts and a manila envelope in his hand.

"Brother Jiang, this is the technology transfer contract. Please take a look and see if there are any problems or if there is anything that needs to be modified."

Zhuang Xiaofei sat down opposite Jiang Tao, handed him the contract, and asked him to review it.

"it is good."

Adhering to the principle of being a gentleman first and then a villain, Jiang Tao spent 5 minutes quickly skimming through the contract prepared by Zhuang Xiaofei.

"no problem."

After reading the contract, Jiang Tao nodded to Zhuang Xiaofei.

Then, he picked up the pen on the table and quickly signed his name on the contract page where the second party's signature was required.

Zhuang Xiaofei also signed his name, pressed his fingerprint, and finally stamped the document.

After signing the contract, Jiang Tao immediately transferred 5 yuan to Zhuang Xiaofei's mobile phone.

Zhuang Xiaofei also handed the kraft paper envelope he was holding to Jiang Tao.

"Brother Jiang, the recipe is in here."

"If you have any questions when you go back and operate it, you can call me."

"I will definitely speak freely and without reservation."

"Our after-sales service has no time limit; we will definitely teach you completely."

"Okay, Xiao Zhuang, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

After receiving the envelope, Jiang Tao smiled and shook hands with Zhuang Xiaofei.

"Pleasant to work with."

Zhuang Xiaofei also shook hands with Jiang Tao, his smile equally sincere.

With the cooperation agreement reached, Jiang Tao first took out the formula from the envelope and glanced at it briefly.

The recipe book is filled with the names of dozens of seasonings.

They are mostly common dried ingredients found in daily life.

Like cinnamon, gardenia, fennel, turmeric, cardamom, bay leaves, Sichuan pepper, star anise, and the like.

The only less common one is saffron, which is also quite expensive.
The proportions of all the ingredients are precise down to the gram.

It cannot be too much or too little, otherwise a slight difference will lead to a huge error.

"By the way, Xiao Zhuang, where did you buy this tandoor oven?"

After glancing at the ingredients, Jiang Tao looked at Zhuang Xiaofei and asked another question.

In addition to the ingredients, the tandoor oven is also an essential part of tandoor-roasted meat.

"I'll recommend the boss's WeChat to you. You can contact him directly and have him ship it to Beijing via logistics."

“A large commercial tandoor oven like ours, which can be powered by both gas and charcoal, costs 1.2 yuan, and with logistics and shipping costs, it will cost around 1.4 yuan.”

After Zhuang Xiaofei finished speaking, he took out his phone, found the contact information of the owner of the tandoor oven wholesale business in his contacts, and sent it to Jiang Tao.

"Okay, I'll contact the boss myself."

Jiang Tao also took out his phone, but after seeing the contacts Zhuang Xiaofei had given him, he wasn't in a hurry to contact them.

"It's getting late, we'll head back now."

Jiang Tao raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist. Before he knew it, it was already around 11 a.m.

Zhuang Xiaofei hurriedly said, "Brother Jiang, how about we have lunch here? I'll also earn you and Zhiyuan some skewers or something."

"Haha, no need, no need. I've had enough meat this morning, so I don't need to eat lunch."

Jiang Tao chuckled and stood up from his seat.

"Let's get together another day, another day, hiccup~"

Liu Zhiyuan let out a burp halfway through his sentence, realizing that most of the meat skewers he had just eaten had ended up in his stomach.

"Alright then! Let's do it another day."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Zhuang Xiaofei did not try to stop them, and smiled as he escorted them to the courtyard.

He watched the two drive out of the yard before continuing with his work.

All the store's employees were sent out in the morning, and if there were any more orders, he, the boss, would personally handle them.

……

A Mercedes-Benz G-Class was speeding along the North Outer Ring Road in Ping County.

Jiang Tao drove Liu Zhiyuan home first.

I declined Mr. and Mrs. Liu's invitation to have lunch together.

Just as Jiang Tao was about to drive to the Qisan Reservoir to check on the situation, his car phone suddenly rang.

Jingle bells, jingle bells—

My gaze swept over the large screen in the center console, where the name displayed was "General Manager Bai".

Upon seeing this name, Jiang Tao instantly pictured a white magnolia covered in wet sweat.

"Hey, Mr. Bai."

After Jiang Tao pressed the button to answer the call, he smiled and greeted Bai Yulan on the other end of the line.

"Call her Sister Bai."

On the other end of the phone came Bai Yulan's voice, which was a mix of coquettish laughter and reproach, quite different from the impression she had left on Jiang Tao the night before.

Perhaps this is her true personality?

"What can I do for you, Sister Bai?"

Jiang Tao readily agreed and called Bai Yulan "Sister Bai".

With Bai Yulan's status, there are probably countless people in Ping County who would want to call her Sister Bai.

"Come over here for lunch, I'll treat you."

"By the way, are you married?"

"Why are you asking about this, Sister Bai? I'm already married and have children."

"Hehehe, what are you thinking, you little rascal! You don't think I'm going to marry you and offer myself to you, do you?"

"If you have a wife and kids, bring them along too. Oh, and bring your parents too, the whole family."

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yulan's voice was cheerful and bold.

"Ahem, Sister Bai, I have a favor to ask."

Jiang Tao hesitated when he heard that Bai Yulan wanted to treat his whole family to dinner.

He ran out alone in the middle of the night to "rescue the damsel in distress."

If Xu Li and her parents find out, this will be hard to explain!
"Oh? What kind of unreasonable request?"

Bai Yulan asked curiously after hearing Jiang Tao's words.

"Could you please not tell my wife or my parents about what happened last night?"

"To be honest, I went fishing last night without telling my wife and the others."

Jiang Tao quickly came up with a barely plausible excuse to fool Bai Yulan.

"Hehehe... I thought it was something serious, but I see."

"Okay! Then I'll say we're old friends who've known each other for a long time, alright?"

Bai Yulan was quite understanding and readily agreed to act alongside Jiang Tao.

She could easily fulfill Jiang Tao's small request. (End of Chapter)
