Chapter 265: Chapter 266: The Departnt Store Manager Also Likes Braised Dishes Chapter 265: Chapter 266: The Departnt Store Manager Also Likes Braised Dishes The tasting event went on day by day, and more and more people ca to try the food.
The Departnt Store’s manager in charge of food also joined in the tasting.
“Dad, hurry up, this is the tasting stall, the pig’s feet here are super delicious.” Luo Xiaoxuan, a big fan of eating pig’s trotters, chicken feet, duck feet, anything with fat and chewy at.
The next day he had been brought by his friends in front of the tasting stall, and upon tasting these delicious marinated flavors, he instantly fell in love.
He insisted on calling his dad to buy so, since the pretty sister had said it must be purchased through official channels.
Although Luo Xiaoxuan was young, he knew where his father worked, and the Departnt Store was an official purchasing channel.
Since his dad did not know the deliciousness of these marinated flavors, it was natural for him to bring his dad to enjoy them.
Such delicious fare, if not sold in the Departnt Store, would be a sheer waste.
Furthermore, during this period, many residents had comnted on these marinated and fried foods, Manager Luo had also beco curious. If they were really tasty, the Departnt Store would naturally consider buying so to sell.
After all, who doesn’t need good profits?
As the two approached the tasting stall, they slled the faint but tempting scent of at.
Manager Luo, just like his son, loved to eat pig’s trotters and suck on bones. Now, slling this familiar and particularly pleasant aroma, his Adams apple bobbed up and down as he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
“Can all of these be sampled for free?” Manager Luo asked curiously.
Luo Xiaoxuan brazenly said, “Pretty sister, my dad is the Departnt Store’s food manager, and he is responsible for purchasing these foods.”
Luo Xiaoxuan knew that those who wanted to sell their products in the Departnt Store needed to please his dad, and sotis his dad wouldn’t even et these people.
The pretty sister was so good-looking, and the products she sold tasted so good, he had to get his dad and the pretty sister to work together.
As soon as Luo Xiaoxuan shouted this, Manager Luo felt embarrassed and said, “Shut up.”
He rembered this little guy with his clean and unforgettable appearance. This was the kid who had gnawed on his portion of pig’s trotters yesterday and then clamored for more.
But after being turned down, he threatened to call his dad, and then he would keep eating.
Yesterday, Xu Ying smiled, thinking the little guy had quite the attitude.
Now, well, the kid really had the capital to back it up.
Hearing this, Xu Ying smiled sweetly at Luo Xiaoxuan, “Pick whatever you want to eat.”
Luo Xiaoxuan, hearing this, jumped for joy, waving his hands, “Yay, aweso.”
After saying this, Xu Ying quickly walked towards Manager Luo, “Manager Luo, hello, all these products are available for tasting.
These are marinated duck products, and over here we have fried goods, you can try so.”
Zhou Yi and Yang Nan were sowhat excited inside, was this going to be a big order? It looked like this task was going to be completed, and that was great.
Yang Nan joyfully made faces at Zhou Yi.
Qiao Yuzhu also looked excited, the efforts of the past few days had not been in vain.
Qian Yuanyuan, who had been out and about these past few days, was no longer accustod to hardship and just wanted to complete the task and go ho. Seeing the Departnt Store’s manager arriving, she too was happy.
To show her initiative, she volunteered, “Manager Luo, our fried goods are best when freshly fried. I’ll make so for you right now.”
Qiao Yuzhu saw her heading to fry the goods and felt worried. After being there for several days, she knew this girl was a real princess, hardly able to chop vegetables, let alone cook.
Frying involved cooking with oil; wouldn’t she blow up the pan?
“Yuanyuan, are you sure?”
Qian Yuanyuan confidently said, “I can.”
She had seen Xu Ying and Zhou Yi fry them many tis, she was sure she could do it, it seed simple.
And she had co out this ti specifically to put on a good show in front of Zhou Yi, now that the Departnt Store’s Manager Luo had arrived.
She personally deep-fried for the manager of the Departnt Store, and if the deal really went through, she could take so credit for it.
She would surely boast about it upon her return.
Manager Luo nodded.
Seeing this, Qian Yuanyuan tied on her apron, set up the pot to heat the oil, and as soon as she had poured it in, she dumped in the fried goods.
Qiao Yuzhu didn’t have ti to stop her, “Ma’am, the oil isn’t even hot yet, and you’re putting in the fried goods, how could that possibly work?”
“What, I’ve been waiting quite a while already,” Qian Yuanyuan said with a bewildered face.
“The fla was just lit, it’s too small, you need a big fla for it to work,” Qiao Yuzhu said indifferently, knowing it would turn out this way.
Qian Yuanyuan now understood that the oil needed to be hot to deep-fry the goods.
Xu Ying was on the side, introducing products to Manager Luo.
Manager Luo was relishing the food, “I seem to have heard about your marinade before, could it be?” pondering as he ate, he suddenly realized, “Is it because Anthony bought from you guys?”
Xu Ying nodded.
With this, Manager Luo didn’t need to think twice, such delicious food, even foreigners liked it; if he didn’t purchase, wouldn’t it show he lacked foresight?
“Miss Xu, why don’t you co with later to discuss the partnership,” he suggested.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying’s face lit up with a smile, just as she nodded in agreent.
Suddenly, a scream was heard, and they saw a tower of flas erupting from the originally calm oil pot, “Ah!”
“It’s on fire!”
“What do we do, what do we do?” Qiao Yuzhu looked desperately at the pot on fire, regretting not preventing the girl from frying anything.
There was no water nearby, and the fire kept burning.
“Minister Xu!” Qiao Yuzhu called out.
Xu Ying turned her head to see the pot ablaze, “Where is the lid?”
Qiao Yuzhu, frantic, said, “This fire is so big, covering it with a lid won’t work. It might not contain it and could hurt soone. We don’t have water, Minister Xu, what should we do?”
Xu Ying was startled by her words; putting water on it would be reckless.
“You can’t use water, cover it with the lid.”
Water cannot be added directly to oil in the pot, and with the oil already heated, adding water would cause it to erupt into a boil, vaporizing instantly, expanding, and carrying hot oil, potentially resulting in burns.
The only solution was to cover it with the lid, then turn down or turn off the heat, allowing the oil temperature to gradually decrease.
Zhou Yi, being a college graduate, naturally knew how to put out a fire, he quickly grabbed the lid and covered the flas.
Qian Yuanyuan watched as he stretched his hand into the fire, her heart leaping to her throat.
Just as the fire was covered by the lid, Third Uncle Xu had procured a large basin of water and poured it over the pot, luckily, the fiercely burning pot was already covered by Zhou Yi’s lid.
Fortunately, no major incident happened.
So, bidding farewell to Manager Luo, Xu Ying let Zhou Yi teach everyone a lesson on what to do when a pot catches fire.
After the lesson, Third Uncle Xu and others felt a wave of relief, glad that he hadn’t poured water into the oil, otherwise he would have made a grievous mistake.
In the afternoon, Xu Ying took the contract directly to et with Manager Luo.
Manager Luo, seeing Xu Ying, appeared guilty and evasive, “Xiao Xu, I’m sorry.”
