Chapter 139 Negotiation

"Thank you, Chef Yao. I'll let you know if I need anything. If you're not busy, you can take a look and give me your valuable suggestions." Li Meng said respectfully to the chubby Chef Yao with a smile.

"Okay! Then I'll show you!" After hearing what Li Meng said, Chef Yao felt that this girl was not at all reserved and was a very generous and elegant girl.

Li Meng and Wu Ruirui started to get busy as they had agreed before. Today, Li Meng cooked 5 dishes: braised pork and vegetarian chicken, stir-fried bean curd sheets with leeks, fried tofu skin with spinach and peanuts, fried stinky tofu, and grass carp with bean cakes.

Chef Yao looked at the two girls busy in the kitchen and nodded with satisfaction. He couldn't help thinking, their knife skills are very skillful. It seems that they must have cooked a lot at home. It would be great if they could come to work in the restaurant.

Looking at the box of hairy stuff taken out of the small bamboo basket by the girl named Li Meng, an indescribable smell came into Chef Yao's nose.

"Girl, what is this? Why does it taste so strange?" Chef Yao walked forward and asked curiously.

"This is called stinky tofu. It smells bad but tastes delicious. When I make it, you'll know when you try it," Li Meng introduced it to Chef Yao while putting the stinky tofu into the wok.

Soon a strange aroma wafted out of the wok. Chef Yao sniffed and found the aroma quite overbearing. It must be a good thing!

Soon the two of them cooked all the dishes. Li Meng was very careful and left a small bowl of each dish in the kitchen for Chef Yao.

Come come come! ! ! The dishes arrived, and Chef Yao helped the two of them bring them out, calling out to everyone. After he had arranged the dishes, he hurried into the kitchen. He was waiting to go into the kitchen to taste the dishes that Girl Li had left for her!

"Come on, pick up your chopsticks and try it together," Li Meng stood in front of the table and greeted the people who were already sitting at the table with a smile.

"Haha, it looks good. You have great cooking skills, girl. I didn't realize it! Let me try it first." The restaurant manager Chen Guofu smiled and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of vegetarian chicken from the braised pork and vegetarian chicken, put it in his mouth and tasted it!

The more you chew it, the brighter your eyes become. It has a very chewy texture and is not inferior to the braised pork. It has a very good taste.

"Comrade Li, what is this dish called? It's really good," Chen Guofu picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he did not forget to ask Li Meng what it was.

Everyone looked at Chen Guofu's expression and picked up their chopsticks to start eating. They all felt that the taste was good and very fragrant. Usually, only a little bit of meat is needed to make a large bowl of this dish. Both adults and children will definitely like to eat it. After all, they can taste the meat. This way, one pound of meat can save two meals, which is really good.

"This is called vegetarian chicken. It is made from soybeans. It can be braised, served cold, or stir-fried. It is delicious. Both the elderly and children can eat it to supplement protein."

Then Li Meng began to introduce the dishes on the table one by one. When introducing the stinky tofu, she also explained the reason why the tofu grew hair. Everyone exclaimed that it was magical.

Chef Yao in the kitchen also ate with gusto and repeatedly praised Li Meng's cooking skills, especially the stinky tofu which was very much to his liking.

Many people will definitely like these dishes once they are launched. Chef Yao is tired of cooking the previous dishes every day, so he has already thought about how to cook these new dishes to make them more delicious.

I'll have to talk to Manager Chen about this later. These soy products are really good, both novel and delicious.

Jiang Fangwei and Liu Damei could not stop eating. They both felt that if they sold these in the supply and marketing cooperative in the future, they would definitely increase their sales. If that happened, the leaders above would surely give them great praises!

I feel excited just thinking about Jiang Fangwei. If this is done well, it will definitely be beneficial to my career!

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Chef Yao, who had been in the kitchen, also came out. He was thinking about when he could eat stinky tofu again. He just had 4 pieces and was not satisfied!

"Now that we've finished eating, let's talk about cooperation." Chen Guofu wiped his mouth, patted his full stomach, and said with a satisfied look on his face.

Hearing what Manager Chen said, Li Meng did not hesitate. She glanced at Wu Ruirui who was standing next to her and asked her to take out the price list she had written at home. She handed one copy to Manager Chen and one copy to Director Jiang.

"Oh, little girl, you are very experienced. You have even written the price list. That's good. You are well prepared!" Chen Guofu praised.

The more I look at the little girl, the more I like her. She is efficient and smart. As Chef Yao said just now, this girl uses all the ingredients she brought with her own and she is not someone who likes to take advantage of others.

"I'm just being prepared, right? Hehe, this way you two can see more carefully," Li Meng said with a fake silly smile.

"Here's what I think. The supply and marketing cooperatives can sell dried tofu first, and then when the state-owned restaurants launch new dishes and everyone knows about them, the supply and marketing cooperatives can start selling them. This way, there is no need to introduce and explain to customers how to make these new dishes in advance."

Li Meng looked at the two people in front of him looking at the price list, and actively said what he was thinking.

Jiang Fangwei thought this was a good idea. After all, not everyone could accept new things quickly. It would be a good idea for him to follow up once the state-owned restaurant launched the product and opened up the sales market. At worst, he could just ask Lao Chen to give a recommendation.

"Can the price be more favorable?" Chen Guofu looked at the price list and stared at Li Meng and said. He knew that the price was not expensive, but he just wanted to say something. It's like this in business, the cheaper the better.

"This is the lowest price I can offer. I earned all my money through hard work, but I promise that as soon as a new product is released, I will supply it to you as soon as possible."

"To be honest, our village is currently building a soy product processing plant, and we will develop new and tastier products in the future. You two are our village's first customers, and I guarantee that if there are any good things, I will be the first to send them to you two to taste."

Jiang Fangwei and Chen Guofu looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes. What they were even more satisfied with was this girl Li Meng, who was a capable person and there was no harm in making more friends with such people.

"Okay then, girl, since you put it like that, I can't say anything else. When can you deliver the goods?" Chen Guofu also stood up readily and handed the price list to Li Meng.

"Manager Chen, how much do you want? Do you want everything? Or would you like to ask Chef Yao for the combination before you make the decision?" Li Meng offered thoughtful suggestions.

"That's a good point. I'll go ask Chef Yao first and then tell you." Chen Guofu thought Li Meng's suggestion was very good, so he quickly went to the kitchen to discuss it with Chef Yao.
