Section Chief Zheng certainly wouldn't understand anything about braised pork offal.
But he will eat it. Anyway, Fang Yan's braised food is the best he has ever eaten, bar none!
"Okay, I'll go back now and discuss it with my brother. If there are no problems, we'll come back to you to sign the contract."
Section Chief Zheng agreed with Fang Yan's analysis. Fearing that time would not wait for him, he couldn't wait to go back. He hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave.
The mall manager gave him a strange look. "Aren't you tired of running around like this?"
"Just call your brother and have him come over, won't that solve the problem?"
Section Chief Zheng slapped his forehead, "I was so excited I lost my mind!"
His brother's family's financial situation was really terrible.
If it weren't for his help, we probably wouldn't even have enough to eat and wear.
However, Section Chief Zheng was responsible for three families: his own family, his younger brother's family, and his father-in-law's family.
He was also suffering terribly.
Pork jerky is a project the mall is using to boost its sales this year, so naturally it can't be given to my younger brother to make.
But the braised dishes are also quite good.
The thought that Fang Yan's braised food could lift her younger brother's family, who were struggling to make ends meet, out of poverty, filled Section Chief Zheng with excitement.
He quickly turned back and said to the mall manager, "Then I'll just borrow your office phone for a bit."
He went to call his brother.
The mall manager was busy with his work.
Fang Yan wasn't here; she was waiting for them to reach a conclusion through negotiation.
"Section Chief Zheng, once you and your brother have reached an agreement, you can come to Gouzi Village to find me."
It will take time for his brother to come from the neighboring county, and it will also take time to discuss things.
Fang Yan didn't intend to waste several hours here.
As she left the mall manager's office, she began to think...
Now we don't need to go to the next county town to finalize business deals.
Fang Yan didn't go to help at the stall either. She would definitely be very busy in the future, and she might not be able to personally set up the stall every day. Since she wanted Fang Jie and the others to get some experience, she had to let them have some free time.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yan went directly to the pork factory.
With the unexpected surge in orders for braised food, there's definitely not enough pig's head meat and offal to go around.
She needs to talk to the people at the pork factory and ask them to give her some more pig head meat and offal.
Furthermore, with the markets in both counties being developed simultaneously, the sales of pork jerky are bound to surge during the period leading up to the Lunar New Year.
She had to negotiate with the people at the pork factory to reserve some extra for her.
Otherwise, if one piece of pork isn't enough, she'll be at a loss.
"Factory manager, how about we sign a contract?"
Fang Yan actually wanted to sign a contract with the pork factory to determine the quantity of pork.
However, the pork factory owner refused, saying, "Xiao Fang, I only recognize a handful of characters. Seeing so many words on the contract gives me a headache. Forget about the contract. I'll try my best to reserve the quantity you need."
"Factory manager, you can't just do as much as you can," Fang Yan was afraid of his words that left room for maneuver. "I've already expanded the market, and now I'm just waiting for orders and pork. You must reserve enough for me the quantity I just mentioned."
"These are freshly made braised dishes and pork jerky. Here, have a couple of drinks tonight, they'll go perfectly with this."
Fang Yan took out the braised food and pork jerky she had brought, which she hadn't had time to take out yet, and quickly pushed them towards the factory manager.
"Xiao Fang, don't worry. The pork factory also needs to generate revenue. The more pork you need, the better it is for us. The pigs that will be ready for the New Year are all ready and plump. You will definitely get your share."
This doesn't count as bribery.
The factory manager was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was a seasoned veteran who liked people who were perceptive and knew how to handle things.
Actually, Fang Yan is quite careful in this regard, but she was preoccupied with other things and got distracted just now.
This delay meant that it wasn't until now that I finally had the chance to take the items out.
"Aren't you leaving?" the factory manager suddenly asked her.
Once the deal is settled, it's time to leave.
Fang Yan didn't understand why he suddenly asked this.
The factory manager tore open a package of plain pork jerky, put it in his mouth, and threw the packaging away. He then gestured with his chin toward the window and said, "That truck is going to deliver goods to the city. You should hurry over and find him so you can hitch a ride."
A pork processing plant, a place for slaughtering pigs, must be built in a sparsely populated suburban area.
Every time I come here, if I can't get a ride out, I'll walk until I question my existence and still not find a tricycle.
“Okay, I’m off then,” Fang Yan quickly stood up. She didn’t know if she would come back before the New Year, so she said to the factory manager, “I’ll come to give you a New Year’s gift when the New Year comes.”
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Take advantage of the New Year holiday and make some money."
The factory manager chuckled and waved to her.
Fang Yan's pork jerky and braised dishes are fragrant and have a great texture. Not only him, but everyone at the pork factory likes them.
As Fang Yan successfully hitched a ride with the pork factory and returned to the county town from the suburbs, in the neighboring county town, in the largest and best-decorated restaurant, Boss Wu was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits as he looked at the profits he had made from pork jerky and braised food in the past few days. "Look! Even if we don't go to that poor guy to buy supplies, we can still make braised food and pork jerky a success!"
"What a pity!" he suddenly sighed regretfully, "I made such a correct and great decision, but only you can know about it."
The employees surrounding him all looked bewildered. "Boss, who else do you want to know?"
"That down-on-his-luck guy next door, surnamed Fang."
Recalling Fang Yan's disrespectful attitude towards him that day, Boss Wu was so angry that he wanted to rush up to her, throw the ledger showing how the restaurant's profits had increased several times over the past few days thanks to pork jerky and braised dishes in her face, and say to her, "I'll give you five hundred yuan, but you don't want it. You can beg me from now on, but I will never take your braising recipe again!"
He was petty and narrow-minded. Being rejected by Fang Yan, whom he considered a lowly and destitute person, left him with a lingering resentment. He was determined to make Fang Yan see for herself that he could sell braised food successfully without her recipe, and only when he saw her filled with regret and weeping would he feel relieved.
Unfortunately, the restaurant's business has been booming recently due to its two new products: braised dishes and pork jerky.
He's been so busy these days, he just can't get away.
Once he has settled everything at the restaurant and has some free time, he is determined to make another trip to the neighboring county to see with his own eyes the regretful expression on that down-on-his-luck man's face!
