"Then let's go in quickly." Manager Zhang said hurriedly, and then he couldn't wait to take Xu Ying to the director's office.

Sun Erming walked in front of him with a smile.

Manager Zhang suddenly smelled the aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of oil. He took several deep breaths and swallowed his saliva because of the tempting aroma.

"Do you smell anything?"

"What's that smell?" Sun Erming was puzzled. It didn't smell like any perfume.

"It smells so good, it makes people drool!" Manager Zhang said, and swallowed his saliva with a gulp. After swallowing, his face turned red, which was so embarrassing.

Sun Erming immediately understood what was going on. He quickly raised the basket in his hand and asked, "Is this it?"

As the basket was suddenly lifted in front of Manager Zhang, the aroma of meat became stronger. Manager Zhang took a deep breath, his eyes lit up, and he nodded frantically: "Yes, this is it, what is it? Why does it smell so good!"

Xu Ying smiled and said, "Manager Zhang, this is the all-purpose fried food I just developed. I fried a few of them today. Please try them and see how they taste."

Manager Zhang swallowed frantically, looked at Xu Ying a little embarrassedly, his eyes shining: "Then I won't be polite."

When I opened the basket, I saw a layer of cloth inside to keep it warm. As soon as I opened the cloth, the fragrance instantly became stronger.

The fried food inside looks golden and makes people's appetite grow.

Manager Zhang picked up a small piece of fried mushroom, put it in his mouth and took a bite. A crisp sound was heard. It was crispy and fragrant.

"What is this? It tastes like mushrooms, but it also seems to taste like meat. It's so delicious." Manager Zhang's face was full of enjoyment. This thing was so delicious, even better than the chicken soup and meat stewed by his wife at home.

"This is fried mushrooms. There are also fried chicken fillets, fried crispy pork, fried potato chips and fried lotus root with meat." Xu Ying introduced them one by one.

Manager Zhang couldn't stop drooling as he listened to these names.

But this was for the director to taste, so he didn't dare eat too much. If he finished it, the director wouldn't be able to eat it, and if the cooperation failed, he would be in big trouble.

Originally he was only 50% sure, but now Manager Zhang is full of confidence and is 90% sure.

"Let's go find the director." Manager Zhang held his head high and strode forward with confidence, which was completely different from his frightened look at the beginning.

The three of them walked quickly and arrived at Director Wang's office in a few minutes.

Manager Zhang took a deep breath and knocked on Director Wang's office door: "Director, I invited Chef Xu from the state-owned restaurant."

When Director Wang heard about Chef Xu from the state-owned restaurant, he raised his eyebrows and wondered why he invited a chef from the state-owned restaurant. But he still cleared his throat and said, "Come in."

Manager Zhang then opened the door and walked in with Xu Ying.

When Director Wang looked up, he saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old. His brows immediately frowned and said, "Manager Zhang, what is going on? Why did you bring a little girl here?"

But as Xu Ying got closer, the aroma of fried food in her basket wafted out, and Director Wang couldn't help but take a breath.

It smells so good.

"Hello, Director Wang. I'm a chef at a state-owned restaurant. Manager Zhang said you want to cooperate with us, Wan Neng Fried Food?

I brought some all-purpose fried food today, why don’t you try it first before we discuss cooperation.”

After Xu Ying finished speaking, she placed the basket directly in front of Director Wang's desk. She opened the basket and took out small plates of fried food.

As the fried food was taken out, the fragrance instantly filled the air, and Director Wang swallowed his saliva with a gulp.

Then he thought of his daughter-in-law who used to talk about how a young chef came to the state-owned restaurant and cooked delicious meals. Could it be the girl in front of him?

Director Wang looked Xu Ying up and down, his eyes shining with sharpness, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.

Director Wang of the department store used to be a soldier and a leading cadre in the military corps. He retired later due to an injury.

Ordinary people would feel oppressed when they were stared at by him and would not dare to look directly at Director Wang.

But Xu Ying had experienced strong winds and heavy rains and was not afraid of this at all.

Manager Zhang and Sun Erming, on the other hand, were a little scared and shrank their necks, trying to reduce their presence.

"Director Wang, would you like to try it first? This fried food is just made and is still hot. It will not taste good if it gets cold." Xu Ying spoke in time and saved Manager Zhang and Sun Erming.

"Okay, I think this fried food looks good, and it will definitely taste better." Director Wang put away his majestic look, turned around and said with a playful smile.

Xu Ying put a pair of chopsticks in the basket. When Manager Zhang saw it, he knew what was going on, but he didn't dare to use them.

At this moment, Director Wang picked up the chopsticks and picked up the pork belly with lotus root. The pork belly that Xu Ying chose for frying lotus root was 30% fat and 70% lean, which would make the lotus root taste better.

The fragrance of lotus root and the deliciousness of pork belly are so delicious that you will linger on the taste after just one bite.

Director Wang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious. You are indeed a great chef. The dishes you make are delicious."

Then there are crispy pork, fried chicken fillet, potato chips...

Manager Zhang and Sun Erming were watching from the side and drooling.

Director Wang no longer cared about his image and started eating with big mouthfuls.

He ate up several large plates of fried food!

Even so, he still felt unsatisfied and ate up all the seasoning on his chopsticks.

If there weren't outsiders around, he would have wanted to pick up all the crumbs on the plate and eat them.

Director Wang ate and drank his fill, burped, and looked up at everyone, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He rubbed his fist dryly for a few times, and looked at Xu Ying with great satisfaction: "Master Xu, your fried food is really good.

But aren’t these fried foods cooked food? Your state-owned restaurants can sell them on their own!”

Xu Ying smiled generously and said, "We can indeed make and sell it ourselves, but frying food takes time, and our state-owned restaurant has many other dishes to prepare.

To be honest with you, this fried food is not actually made in a state-owned restaurant, but is processed in a food factory.

This fried food can be refrigerated or frozen. When you want to eat it, you can take it out of the freezer, thaw it and fry it directly. "

Director Wang was in a good mood at first, but when he heard the word "food factory", he instantly became depressed.

Looking at Xu Ying's face full of pain, he had to give up reluctantly. If Xu Ying was not from the food factory, he would have cooperated with her no matter what.

After all, these fried foods are so delicious. If, as he said, they can be frozen, people can fry them themselves when they want to eat them. Then there will surely be a lot of people coming to buy them.

Although not many people have freezers, they can buy a small amount at a time and take them home to fry.

Or maybe their department store has a special shop that fries these.

With such delicious fried food, there is no need to worry about lack of business.

But it was from the food factory. Director Wang said with a sullen face: "Comrade Xiao Xu, our department store does not cooperate with the food factory."
