Manager Yu answered truthfully, "We were worried that the taste of shark meat would be unacceptable to most people, so we didn't make it."
"While great white sharks are rare, we can still catch some small ones in coastal waters. To be honest, we don't have any good methods."
"As for mackerel, we usually buy the small ones, which we fry and sell or boil, but they're not particularly popular."
Ruan Meng smiled, her expression genuinely warm. "It's my fault, it's my fault! I was too busy before, and the menu was slow to be released."
"What Manager Yu said is true. I do have a good approach. If He Family Restaurant doesn't do it, I doubt other small eateries and restaurants will be able to do it even better."
"Manager Yu can go and try it with Young Master He. If he likes it, it might become another signature dish of the He Family Restaurant, something unique."
How could Manager Yu not be tempted? Ruan Meng's skills were superb, and her eye for talent was exceptional.
"that is......"
Ruan Meng was embarrassed and didn't notice that Ruan Qian and He Cong next to her couldn't suppress their smiles.
Shopkeeper Yu smiled and asked patiently, "What is it? Just tell me, young lady."
"Exactly, the shark is too big. If I were to deal with it by myself, it would probably take me a whole day."
"If it's convenient for you, Manager Yu, could you bring a few cooks with you? I'll share everything with you; they can learn any recipe they want. You just have to help out!"
This deal was quite profitable for the He family restaurant. After consulting with the young master, Manager Yu assigned four chefs and arranged a carriage to accompany them to Fengjia Village.
Ruan Meng and Ruan Qian went to Xinglin Hall again. Upon hearing about the great good thing happening in Ruan Family Village and Feng Family Village, Manager Du naturally offered his support.
Hearing that the main dish was a whole pig that his daughter had asked Jiqing to buy last time, Manager Du was even more pleased and proud.
Manager Du hesitated for a moment and asked, "Young Master, Miss, the young master happens to be at home. Could we go and ask if he is willing to go?"
In the past, Manager Du would never have meddled in such matters, fearing he might displease the young master.
But the young master had helped his family so many times. Although he was originally aloof, Manager Du could see that the young master treated the Ruan family, especially Ruan Meng, differently...
Considering that the young master had almost no friends, it was fortunate that he met Ruan Meng, with whom he could exchange medical knowledge. The food also suited his taste, and he talked quite a bit with the people around Ruan Meng...
Ultimately, it's good for the young master.
Ruan Meng and Ruan Qian exchanged glances, and Ruan Qian respectfully said,
"Of course, why don't I have my second brother go with Manager Du to invite them?"
Manager Du bowed and thanked them. Worried that he had kept them waiting too long, he immediately set off with his second brother.
Lin Qingyu's arrival was entirely within Ruan Qian and Manager Du's expectations.
Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious even to the slow-witted second brother, let alone the precocious eldest brother.
But his wife took the initiative and told him about the two conversations she had with Ruan Meng.
Make Ruan Qian understand what Ruan Meng is thinking.
Ruan Qian decided to respect all of Ruan Meng's decisions. However, he preferred that his sister's romantic relationships wait until things had settled down before starting anything else.
After all, with the incident at the manor, they had already seen far too many new faces.
Even many people he once considered his closest friends.
The carriage set off and sped to Fengjia Village.
When the third brother saw Ruan Meng return, his eyes filled with tears, as if she were his savior.
The guards weren't in much better shape.
In front of the Ruan family courtyard, there are two distinct plots of land.
The scene of the large fish being slaughtered was filled with a pungent, fishy smell.
The other guards stayed at a distance behind them.
Manager Du and the cooks have arrived at the scene, tied on their aprons, and grabbed their cutting boards and knives. Their awareness is truly different!
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
With a neat four-note chorus, Ruan Meng told her third brother and the guards to go to the back to rest.
The guards breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went back to wash their hands and change their clothes.
Although the third child felt discomfort in his nose, he still patiently watched from the side.
Du Xiaocan came out of the house, put an old coat on Ruan Meng, and explained:
"These are old clothes I brought from my last trip home. I was thinking of picking herbs so they wouldn't get dirty. Don't worry, little sister!"
Ruan Meng looked up and exclaimed, "Xiao Can is so good!"
He probably really likes Ruan Meng; even a single compliment from her can make Du Xiaocan beam with joy.
When the Du couple saw this, they were deeply moved.
Xiao Kai brought out a small stool from inside the house and placed it next to Ruan Meng.
Ruan Meng looked at Manager Du and said, "Look! The people from He Family Restaurant, trained by Manager Du, really have good judgment!"
A group of people around watched, enduring the stench, but were amused by Ruan Meng.
With a swift movement, Ruan Meng brought her knife down, and the enormous fish body slipped through her blade as smoothly as waves lapping across wet, slippery land, separating its flesh and bones.
Even those who had witnessed Ruan Meng slaughtering a whole pig and cutting up fish meat couldn't help but marvel at her skill.
