A bowl of braised noodle soup was all it took to secure the contract, something Fang Yan hadn't expected.
She had originally thought she would have to travel back and forth between the two counties several times before she could secure the contract.
Unexpectedly, things were resolved so smoothly all of a sudden.
Fang Yan felt a sense of unreality when she arrived safely.
However, she quite liked this unreal feeling; it was so exhilarating!
This was the first time she had secured a contract for a county so smoothly and quickly.
However, what was even more unexpected was that another surprise awaited her...
After carefully putting away the contract for the pork jerky, Section Chief Zheng asked Fang Yan, "Xiao Fang, could this braised food also be made into pork jerky like this? It would be easier to transport."
"You still want to make braised food?" Fang Yan asked in surprise.
Section Chief Zheng nodded.
Nowadays, shopping malls generally only sell food and clothing, and don't have a prepared food section.
So Fang Yan asked again in surprise, "Your shopping mall is going to sell cooked food?"
Section Chief Zheng then said, "It's my brother. He runs a small shop. I thought if braised food could be packaged like pork jerky, I would sign the contract for him."
His brother's little shop was doing so-so, barely surviving.
Section Chief Zheng suddenly realized that if he bought braised food from Fang Yan and sold it, he might be able to save his brother's shop.
"cannot."
Fang Yan gave him a positive answer.
Many years later, braised food will be able to be shipped remotely.
But for now, that's not possible.
Because current storage conditions are inadequate, even shopping malls don't have cold storage facilities, and ordinary households don't even have frost. Under these conditions, large-volume purchases are prone to spoilage if not stored properly.
These days, meat is a rare delicacy, and it's possible that some people might wash spoiled braised food, reheat it with spices, and then resell it.
If something goes bad, it will cause health problems.
Because after-sales service in this area is too troublesome.
Therefore, Fang Yan never thought of promoting braised food in the same way she promoted pork jerky.
Hearing Fang Yan's words, Section Chief Zheng was very disappointed. "I thought it could be like pork jerky."
"Section Chief Zheng, the reason why my family's braised food is so delicious is because it has to be served with the braising sauce to retain its original flavor."
It's clear that Section Chief Zheng genuinely wants to start a braised food business.
Just in time, Fang Yan also wanted to make her wallet a little fuller. If she could make her braised food a hot seller in the neighboring county before the New Year, that would be a considerable source of income.
So she patiently explained to Section Chief Zheng, "Because it's still covered in the braising liquid, it's not easy to pack."
Thinking about the packaging of pork jerky, after the air is removed, the entire bag is tight and shrunken.
If there were soup in the dish, it definitely shouldn't be made like this.
Section Chief Zheng expressed his understanding, saying, "It's a real shame. Although we also sell braised food, even the biggest and best restaurant in our county recently launched braised food and pork jerky. They taste somewhat similar to yours, but yours are more fragrant and tastier."
The biggest and best restaurant in the neighboring county?
Isn't that Mr. Wu's place?
She thought that Mr. Wu stopped coming to see her because she had offended him last time by not being obsequious to him.
Unexpectedly, he used the samples he was given to research and replicate braised dishes and pork jerky?
"Section Chief Zheng, I dare not make any boasts about anything else, but as long as I produce something, the taste is absolutely something that no one else can replicate."
Fang Yan briefly mentioned that Boss Wu had come to her before, but the two of them were not destined to cooperate, and then spoke with great confidence.
She prefers to keep a low profile, but in this matter, she doesn't need to be discreet.
Because any food she makes has an absolutely unique flavor that no one can replicate.
Besides her superb culinary skills, the spring-like atmosphere of the kitchen space is also a key factor.
"No wonder!" Section Chief Zheng suddenly realized. "No wonder the food from their restaurant tastes a bit similar to your braised dishes and pork jerky."
"I was still thinking about whether or not to collaborate with him."
Before eating the pork jerky and braised food that Fang Yan gave him today, Section Chief Zheng did have the idea of going to Boss Wu to wholesale pork jerky.
Because the pork jerky made at their restaurant is considered to be the best in the entire county in terms of taste and texture.
"Once we start selling your pork jerky, I'm confident that your pork jerky will be more popular with customers than his."
Fang Yan was equally confident, saying, "I think so too."
When it's time to be confident, you must be confident in a natural and open way.
Section Chief Zheng expressed his regret, saying, "If we could also get braised food to our area, I believe the market response would be very good."
Fang Yan's braised food is far superior to Mr. Wu's.
"Actually, we can also bring braised food to your area to sell."
Fang Yan said leisurely.
Section Chief Zheng's eyes lit up. "How do we do it?"
Fang Yan: "The freshest goods are delivered on the same day."
Upon hearing this, Section Chief Zheng immediately frowned, "The cost is too high."
"Section Chief Zheng, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Fang Yan told Section Chief Zheng about the braised pork, pork hock, and other things she had added for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Then I asked him, "Guess how much money I made from my braised food on Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"One hundred yuan."
Section Chief Zheng gritted his teeth and made a bold guess.
The average employee in the mall earns only sixteen yuan a month, while those in minor positions earn only around twenty.
It has to be said that Section Chief Zheng took a lot of courage, gritted his teeth, and guessed in the most general direction.
Fang Yan shook her head. "More than that."
She didn't say the exact amount.
She wasn't trying to flaunt her wealth; she just wanted to facilitate this collaboration and make her own pockets a little fuller.
After all, who would complain about having too much money?
Section Chief Zheng was so shocked and surprised that he was almost speechless. "Is this really true?"
Fang Yan nodded, giving him a positive answer, "Section Chief Zheng, to be honest, I only made braised food until the Chinese New Year, because my husband got a house, and I have to take the child to join him in the military after the New Year."
"Although the cost of transporting braised food on the same day is a bit high, in terms of the profits, even for an individual, it is very worthwhile to travel back and forth between the two counties every day."
Fang Yan and he analyzed, "Moreover, fresh braised food, paired with a whole pot of braising liquid, retains its original flavor, making the taste pure, authentic, and fragrant."
This is also why my family's braised dishes are so popular.
What do you think?
