Zhou Jinjiang is from Hangzhou. Although he is over 60 years old, he is full of energy. Under his leadership, Jinjiang Garment Group has become the most famous private company in the Yangtze River Delta region. Zhou Jinjiang's son, Zhou Dapeng, is a Ph.D. in Liumei and is currently the general manager of Jinjiang Group's European sales department.

Zhou Dapeng was leading someone to make an export plan that day when the phone on his desk rang. The caller was Zhou Jinjiang. Zhou Jinjiang was very satisfied with his son's sales results last month.

Zhou Dapeng was puzzled in his heart. His father was a person who pursued perfection. Although he could exceed the task of clothing export every month, his father never boasted about him.

The father and son got into the car and went straight to Xicheng District. Xicheng District is an industrial area, so how can there be any big hotels? Zhou Jinjiang saw Zhou Dapeng - looking around the road. He smiled at his son and said, "Do you know the Niu Laoer Hotel? The fried eel silk there is a must in Hangzhou Bay. Today I will not only take you to try the early adopters, but also go to see a good show."

Zhou Dapeng had long heard of the delicious fried eel silk in the Niu Er Hotel, but what good show could be seen in the hotel? Zhou Jinjiang's usual style was to uncover the mystery at the end. Zhou Dapeng simply didn't ask.

The Cadillac drove for more than 20 minutes, and finally stopped downstairs of the Niu Laoer Hotel. The Niu Laoer Hotel is a small three-story hotel. The signature dish here is fried eel silk.

To say that stir-fried eel silk is also very common in Hangzhou Bay, but the eel silk fried by Niu Laoer is a must. Niu Laoer looks in his fifties this year, with a high nose and bulging eyes and a big shaved head. Niu Yi looks very much like his father Niu Laoer. As soon as the Niu father and son saw the car stop, they hurried out to greet him.

Zhou Dapeng followed behind his father and listened carefully to what the Niu father and son said before he understood. It turned out that their father and son wanted to invite Zhou Jinjiang to be the judge. Today, they must compare who made the fried eel.

Zhou Dapeng came to the private room of the chrysanthemum. While drinking tea, he smiled at the Niu father and son, who were busy fighting vegetables.

Seeing that his son didn't understand the mystery, Zhou Jinjiang said in Zhou Dapeng's ear, "The Niu father and son are clearly fighting vegetables, but secretly fighting for the leadership of the restaurant!"

Niu Laoer Hotel has been open for more than 20 years, but has not expanded. Seeing that the hotels that started with Niu Family Hotel have become star hotels, Niu Ben quit. He strongly demanded that Niu Laoer give up the position of the hotel owner, and he wanted to use the most advanced hotel management model in the world to manage the hotel.

The Niu father and son refused to give in to each other, and finally decided to win or lose by fighting vegetables. If Niu Laoer wins, the hotel will still operate according to the established model, otherwise Niu Laoer will give up management. It seems that there will be a fierce fight at the calm table today.

The waiter of the hotel served 8 dishes with good color and fragrance. Half an hour later, the two fried eels made by the Niu father and son were served by the waiter.

Although the names of the two plates of fried eel silk were not written on them, Zhou Jinjiang was most familiar with the eel silk fried by Niu Laoer. To be fair, he turned to the Niu father and son and said, "Let my son be the judge!"

Zhou Dapeng said awkwardly, "I'm afraid this is not suitable!"

The Niu father and son both felt that Zhou Jinjiang's proposal was quite reasonable. Zhou Dapeng refused, but he had to pick up his chopsticks and try the first plate of fried eel silk.

The main ingredient in this dish is eel, and the auxiliary ingredients are fresh shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, magnolia slices and perilla leaves. These four things are white, green, brown and purple, respectively. The golden eel silk is even better looking than the blooming chrysanthemums! When making it, first peel the eel, and then cook it carefully. Not only does the chef need to be meticulous in the process of cooking, but this dish also pays special attention to the oil temperature and heat.

Zhou Dapeng nodded after tasting the first plate of eel silk, but when he tasted the second plate of eel silk, his face changed - the taste of the second plate of eel silk was so fragrant that the taste buds on Zhou Dapeng's tongue were flowing, and there was a feeling that he had to eat it.

Zhou Dapeng put down his chopsticks. He pointed to the first plate of fried eel silk and said, "I think the taste of the first plate of eel silk is pure!"

Zhou Dapeng's voice fell to the ground, and Niu Ben grabbed Zhou Dapeng's hand and thanked him excitedly. The first plate of fried eel silk was made by Niu Ben. Zhou Jinjiang also found it incredible. After tasting the eel silk, he frowned and said, "Dapeng, this is obviously the second plate of eel silk that is delicious… Have you caught a cold recently?"

Zhou Dapeng said, "I've eaten fried eel silk from many restaurants, but no chef can fry eel silk so fragrant. I suspect that Uncle Niu's eel silk has added powerful flavors, special fresheners and other artificial ingredients..."

When Niu Second heard that Zhou Dapeng suspected that the eel silk he made was not a natural taste, he opened his eyes and roared, "What do you know, the eels I use are all wild golden eels in Qingni River!"

Qingnixi is a small stream under Niu Laoer's hometown of Jinniuling, and the right to harvest golden eels in Qingnixi has long been bought out by Niu Laoer. Qingnixi originated in Jinniuling, and the silt in the stream is a kind of medicinal mud, which can be applied to the body to treat several chronic diseases! The golden eels in Qingnixi are absolutely extraordinary, and they are naturally better than ordinary yellow eels raised on land in terms of taste.

Although the golden eel was extremely delicious, it was limited by the natural environment of Qingnixi River. The amount of golden eel that could be caught in the stream every year was less than 1,500 kilograms, which meant that only about 10 catties of wild eel could be supplied to the restaurant for cooking every day. This was the real reason why Niu Laoer did not want to expand the restaurant.

In order to win the battle for vegetables today, Niu Ben specially asked a friend to buy 5 kilograms of yellow eels imported from foreign countries. If he didn't want to, he still fell into the sand and lost miserably.

Niu Laoer won the cooking and was in a good mood. He opened a bottle of 20-year-old Luzhou Laojiao. After Zhou Jinjiang drank three glasses of wine, he pointed to Niu Laoer's good dish with chopsticks and said, "Boss Niu's fried eel silk is excellent, but the taste of this dish today seems to be a little worse!"

Niu Laoer gave Zhou Jinjiang a thumbs-up. Because it rained yesterday, the road was slippery this morning, and the fresh-keeping truck that delivered the golden eel got stuck in the mud. When the golden eel was delivered to the hotel, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Niu Laoer's time to process the golden eel was in a hurry, so the fresh fragrance of today's fried eel silk was a little worse.

Niu Lao Er repeatedly apologized, saying that he must make fried eel silk again another day to express his apology. Zhou Dapeng ate the fried eel silk, he thought about it and said, "Boss Niu, you said that the wild golden eel is rare and cannot keep up with the needs of hotel expansion and development, so why don't you consider artificial breeding of eels in Qingnixi?"

Niu Lao Er shook his head and said, "I have tried many times, but these eel seedlings can't adapt to Qingnixi's unique natural environment.

Zhou Dapeng turned to Niu Ben, who had been silent, and asked softly, "Have you ever stocked foreign eel seedlings in Qingnixi?"

Niu Wu shook his head and said, "My father is afraid that foreign fry will change the quality of the golden eel, so he won't let us do such a dangerous experiment!"

Zhou Jinjiang laughed and said, "Boss Niu, this is your fault! Natural selection is the unchanging law of nature. Maybe after the golden eel is improved by foreign fry, the quality will become better!"

After hearing Zhou Jinjiang's analysis, Niu Lao Er thought for a while and said hesitantly, "Then I'll try it?"

Half a year later, Zhou Jinjiang received a call from Niu Laoer. Niu Laoer excitedly told Zhou Jinjiang that their free-range foreign eel seedlings had settled down in Qingnixi. Niu Laoer invited the Zhou father and son to Qingnixi, and he wanted to remake the fried eel shreds for them to eat. Zhou Jinjiang originally did not want to go, but Niu Ben personally drove to Jinjiang Group. Faced with such a kind invitation, the Zhou father and son had to drive there. Two hours later, they came to the side of Qingnixi.

There is a simple house by the Qingni Creek, and three employees who raise golden eels live here. Niu Laoer borrows the staff stove and is making fried eel silk for Zhou Jinjiang!

Zhou Jinjiang couldn't help but nod his head as he smelled the strong fragrance wafting from the kitchen. A plate of fried eel silk was brought to the table, and Zhou Jinjiang tasted it and was full of praise. Today's fried eel silk was not only smooth and crisp, but also cooked with just the right heat.

The second cow said excitedly, "The eels from South America are thrown into the Qingni Creek and grow extremely fast. Today, the eels from South America are used for cooking! This South American eel is extremely suitable for growing in the environment of Qingni Creek, and its quality is definitely not worse than that of the golden eel. If the supply of eels is sufficient, then our Niu father and son will have a solid guarantee to expand the business scale of the hotel."

Zhou Jinjiang drank a few more glasses of wine because he was happy. After Niu Second finished speaking, he pointed at the fried eel silk on the plate with his chopsticks and said, "Boss Niu, I seem to have heard that this fried eel silk has a very elegant name. Can you tell Dapeng and the others?"

Niu Lao Er poured the wine in the glass into his throat and said, "Because before making this fried eel silk, you need to peel off the skin of the eel. The eel is like a dragon, and it takes off its robe after peeling, so this dish is also called Zilong's robe..."

Zhou Jinjiang nodded and said, "Zilong takes off his robe - the meaning is good! I, Zhou Jinjiang, have been in the business world for decades, and I am already physically and mentally exhausted! Zhou Jinjiang, the'Zhao Zilong of the business world ', should really rest." Zhou Dapeng heard his father's words about retiring, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, Jinjiang Garment can't do without you!"

Zhou Jinjiang waved his hands again and again, took Niu Laoer and laughed: "Although Zhou is old, he is not confused!"

Zhou Dapeng has always disagreed with his father's conservative concept of being based in China and taking into account the world. He has always believed that if the garment company wants to grow, it should vigorously participate in the competition in the international market. In order to seize the real power of Jinjiang Garment Company as soon as possible, Zhou Dapeng secretly found his old classmate Niu Yi and used the opportunity of Niu Ben and his father to fight for vegetables to perform a game of frying eel silk. He wanted to tell his father through the dish of frying eel silk, that is, taking off the robe of Zilong - when it is about time, you should take off your robe and make way for it!

However, Zhou Jinjiang deliberately pretended to be confused and held on the handsome seal of the garment company. Sure enough, three months later, the clothing market in Europe and the United States suffered a lot due to the impact of the financial crisis. If Jinjiang Group did not have a solid foundation in the domestic sales market, Jinjiang Group would inevitably experience a major disaster.

Niu Ben came up with the idea of stocking South American eel fry in Qingnixi River. Niu Ben helped Zhou Dapeng make the dragon and take off the robe, and Zhou Dapeng tactfully conveyed the idea of using foreign fries to improve the rare golden eel to Niu Second.

Zhou Dapeng now understands the importance of establishing a foothold in domestic clothing sales. Niu Ben Niu Lao Er also successfully used South American eels to improve the frying of golden eels. It seemed that it was time for Zhou Jinjiang and Niu Lao Er to take off their robes.

The two shopping mall seniors looked at their son and nodded in satisfaction, and Zhou Dapeng and Niu Ben also smiled embarrassedly. Making "Zilong Take Off His Robe" is the most important dish, and cultivating a qualified successor is the same principle!

The four of them picked up a glass full of sweet wine together, and laughter filled the Qingni River.
