Chapter 10 New Product Launch

Ye Shuyi returned to the store listlessly.

The truth of the smuggling case has basically been revealed. The Burmese man yesterday was the big boss behind the deal who bribed Su Baiqiang.

After this big boss was arrested, he confessed everything.

However, he didn't expect that he had fallen into a trap. His contact had no intention of buying the goods at all, and deliberately poisoned the man in the black vest who was causing trouble in the store at the beginning, attracting the police.

The purpose is to expose the bearded Burmese.

The contact person and the person who are walking in the gray area at the same time as him are killing someone with a borrowed knife.

The contact person is not in Hong Kong, so the police can't do anything to him.

Next, when Ye Shuyi returned to the store, there were not many customers.

Maybe because of the last incident, business has been affected to some extent.

Ye Shuyi bought mangoes and pineapples on the way, and anyone who came to the restaurant to eat would be given mango or pineapple tortoise jelly.

This is different from just giving fruits or tortoise jelly. The combination of the two is very fresh to Hong Kong people today.

"Auntie Liang, here's a drink for you." Ye Shuyi handed it to a lady who was eating.

"Eh? Why is there mango on this tortoise jelly?" she wondered.

"Our store has just launched the mango and tortoise jelly. Come and try it!" Ye Shuyi introduced.

Aunt Liang was skeptical and took a bite.

The cool and slightly astringent taste of tortoise jelly, accompanied by the rich and sweet mango, is refreshing, soft, sweet but not greasy. They bloom together in the mouth, bringing a sublimation of taste, juicy, smooth and satisfying.

Aunt Liang didn't expect it to be so magical. She tasted it carefully, her eyes shining as she tasted it.

Both foods are very common, so why do they taste unfamiliar to her when combined?

"Delicious!" She couldn't think of any other adjectives to praise it, so she just gave a thumbs up.

"That's great, you can invite your friends to come over for tea!" Ye Shuyi said with a smile.

Seeing that others enjoyed her dishes, she felt a sense of accomplishment and felt genuinely happy.

"Of course, of course! If you launch more new products, I will come here often!" said Aunt Liang.

"Okay." Ye Shuyi responded.

The new product Guilinggao launched today has received very good response.

It cools and detoxifies, nourishes yin and moisturizes dryness, beautifies the skin, and promotes digestion. Who can not love it?

Most importantly, it tastes good.

At night, people were even more excited, and Ye Ji Food was packed and bustling.

"Boss Ye, you have a good daughter. She is so smart." A customer patted Ye Junhui on the shoulder.

The latter grinned until his teeth showed and he agreed: "Yes, I am a Jurchen!"

Everyone came for the so-called new product, Guilinggao, and once they tasted it, they found it tasted really extraordinary.

The news spread quickly among colleagues, and the shops around were very confused to see that everyone was so enthusiastic about a bowl of tortoise jelly with fruit.

So they followed suit and found that it was indeed much more delicious than usual.

Just like that, in one night, all the free drinks on the street turned into fruit tortoise jelly!

Ye Shuyi's name also reached the ears of restaurant owners.

Ye Shuyi was busy until very late before returning home.

"Shuyi, are you tired?" Dad asked with concern when he saw that his daughter looked a little haggard.

Ye Shuyi shook her head: "Not tired."

She was fine, but just now she inexplicably thought of some things she shouldn't have thought about.

Speaking of being tired, it’s the dad who is tired. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day to run the small shop and raise two daughters.

She watched his back gradually become hunched, his temples turning gray. He was fifty years old now, no longer as young as he once was.

Ye Shuyi decided that she must launch new dishes as soon as possible, dishes that other restaurants could not replicate, so that Ye Ji Food could make more money, which would make her father very happy.

It would be better to hire a few more employees so that Ye Junhui can be a hands-off boss and enjoy a leisurely life.

Of course, Ye Junhui didn't know what his daughter was thinking. He just felt that his daughter had matured and grown up recently, and was helping in the store more diligently.

He was happy. He wanted to save more money while he could still work and prepare dowries for his two daughters...

Zhizhi is still so young, and the cost of her education will be huge. Shuyi is also of marriageable age. If she finds a boy she likes, she can start dating and get married.

Shuyi helped a lot in the store, that was true. However, he couldn't keep Shuyi in the store forever. She had her own life and couldn't always be an employee of Ye Ji Gourmet.

"The moon is shining brightly~it's shining brightly~shrimp, get off the bed obediently..."

Ye Shuyi sat on the bed, looking at the bright moon outside, and unconsciously hummed this Cantonese nursery rhyme.

This is a children's song from Cantonese. I wonder if it has spread to Hong Kong Island.

This is how my grandma coaxed her to sleep when she was little. She could just see the moon outside the window while sleeping in the cradle.

She asked her mother if they could be seen in the moonlight.

Mom said yes.

When she was four or five years old, she loved to follow her mother to the balcony to hang clothes at night.

Grandma would sit on the low concrete wall on the balcony and look at the moonlight.

She also spoke a lot of colloquialisms, rhymes, and folk songs. Ye Shuyi didn't know how to define them.

For example, "If you have money, marry a Xiguan girl; if you don't have money, marry a Doupi woman."

"It's raining heavily, the streets are flooded. My brother is carrying firewood to sell, and my sister is going out wearing flowery shoes..."

"The big, stupid elephant can dance. The little elephant can climb trees..."

"The chrysanthemum garden is full of flowers. Fried rice cakes and glutinous rice balls. The fifth day of the fifth month is the Dragon Boat Festival. My mother asked me to watch the dragon boat race..."

She wondered what would become of her 21st-century self now that she had arrived in Hong Kong. Had the original owner of this body, Ye Shuyi, replaced the 21st-century Ye Shuyi herself?

The two souls exchanged bodies.

I hope Ye Shuyi can be filial to her mother.

As she thought about it, she fell asleep. She dreamed of a time when she was in elementary school, renting a house in town. One day, she'd gone to a classmate's house and still hadn't returned by dusk. Her mother searched for her, calling out, "Sister... Sister..." until she finally found her in the next village.

The first thing she said when she saw me was, "I'm worried about you, Mom."

I wonder if my mother will realize that I am missing this time and have gone to a different time and space.

I hope I don't find out, because how can I find myself? This time is different from before.

My mother can’t find hers, it’s troublesome and worrying.

In 1990, my mother had not yet met my father and was still working in a shoe factory.

The next day, Ye Shuyi got up and went to Ye Ji Food to help.

The dish she is going to make today is hand-shredded chicken, which is also Ye Shuyi's specialty.

Hong Kong Island has had hand-shredded chicken for a long time, but not the kind made by Ye Shuyi.

"Can you do it? I think Hong Kong Island's shredded chicken is already delicious. Can you innovate?"

"Of course, Dad, you trust me!" Ye Shuyi patted his chest.

Ye Junhui believes in his daughter unconditionally.

Ye Shuyi first went to the market to buy a good free-range chicken, so that the chicken would not be too dry. She used the salt-baked chicken method, and then prepared a unique seasoning by adding lemon, chili peppers, sesame seeds, star anise, coriander, green onions, ginger, white pepper, etc.

No chicken skin, bones, or offal.

There are certain techniques to tearing chicken.
