Chapter 163 Invitation from Manager Liu

Suddenly there was a patient in the family who needed care, and this was when the benefits of having Baozhu and Xiaohua came into play.

The two girls were rushing to do tasks like feeding medicine and meals.

Yin Huaixi was much more relaxed. She only needed to check Anan's pulse every once in a while.

Jiang Wan only went to see Li Anan when she got up in the morning and never went into the pharmacy again.

Their relationship wasn't good enough for her to worry about it all the time, and she had other things to do.

Last night she and her aunt grilled two large jars of squid fillets, which they hadn't yet been torn apart, and were now busy with the secondary processing.

As for why they don’t sell fish fillets directly, it’s mainly because the squid shreds mixed together make a pound seem like a lot, giving people a very cost-effective feeling.

It is also much easier to eat if you cut it into shreds, as you don’t have to hold the fish fillet and keep chewing on it.

You should know that grilled squid meat is more tough and naturally harder to chew. It is better to eat squid shreds, which does not require much chewing.

When Jiang Wan was halfway through tearing the paper, she suddenly saw her aunt entering the yard.

Eh? Shouldn't my aunt be delivering seafood at this time? It's not that fast.

"Aunt? Didn't you go to deliver the food?"

Song Wenhui went straight to the kitchen.

"I'm not going today. I forgot to tell you yesterday that I can't do this business anymore."

"Can't do it? The stall over there at the pier doesn't sell snail meat anymore?"

Song Wenhui nodded, washed her hands carefully and came to help tear the squid.

"In fact, there were other people selling marinated snail meat at the pier a while ago, but the flavor they used was not as good as ours, so we continued to sell it. But when I went to deliver the snail meat yesterday, the stall owner changed his mind. He said that there were two other stalls whose snail meat tasted similar to ours and was cheaper, so he would not accept ours."

Jiang Wan was silent for a moment.

This is normal.

When a popular product appears in the market, there will inevitably be followers soon. Unless it is a unique craft, it is easy for followers to divide the market or even cut off the market.

Anyone who lives near the coast knows what kind of snail the snail meat in the sauce is. As for the juice, you can tell it contains soy sauce, vinegar and lime.

People who cook frequently can come up with a rough idea through experimentation.

So Jiang Wan also anticipated that this deal would not last long.

But I didn’t expect it to last for just over a month…

"It's okay, Aunt. If we run out of conch in sauce, we still have grilled squid."

Grilling shredded squid requires much more technical skills than grilling conch in sauce, so it's not easy to follow suit.

First of all, you need a good sauce, otherwise the dry-grilled squid will only have a hint of seafood flavor.

The second thing is to have a grill and know the best time to grill the squid.

If you bake it for too long, the squid meat will be very dry and hard to chew. If you bake it for too short a time, the sauce will stick to the squid meat, which will not only taste bad, but also easily dirty your hands.

Therefore, if there is a market for this food, it can be sold for a long time without having to worry about following the trend.

As long as she has the sauce, she can also grill other fish fillets, dried shrimps, etc. Even if the squid cannot be caught later, the sales will not be affected too much.

Jiang Wan didn't want to travel back and forth between the city and the village every day. His aunt was one of his own and she was willing to do so, so she was of course the best partner for him.

"Aunt, did you remember everything I taught you last night?"

Song Wenhui nodded subconsciously. Last night, she and Wanwan grilled nearly ten batches of squid, and she still remembered all the steps clearly.

"Aunt, just remember this. From now on, grilling fish fillets every evening will be left to you. As for the issue of selling squid strips, let's grill more and go to the city together tomorrow."

Jiang Wan did not say how the profits would be divided in the future, and Song Wenhui didn't care at all.

Wanwan could do all the buying and selling by herself, but she was willing to take her with her, which was already very good. As long as they helped their family, Song Wenhui would be willing to help even if she was not paid.

Anyway, now that the man and daughter at home are making money and the house has been built, the pressure has been greatly reduced.

Song Wenhui agreed to the matter immediately. She wanted to ask a few more questions when she suddenly saw a fat man hurriedly entering the yard.

"Manager Liu..."

Jiang Wan's heart moved.

Ah... the contract between my family and Fengweilou expired today. The contract with Dongfuju was signed on the same day. Manager Liu naturally knew about this.

He really came on time.

Jiang Wan immediately went out to entertain him. As soon as she took out the stool, she saw the counter manager Liu waving his hands.

"Miss Jiang, there's no need to sit down. I'm here to invite you to go on a boat trip with me."

"Hmm? A cruise ship?"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled innocently and nodded, "There was a typhoon a while ago, so my friends all went back to Cangsu City to take care of family matters. They just came here yesterday. They chartered a boat for a trip today and happened to pass by here. So I thought of inviting you to go with them and discuss cooperation."

Charter a boat trip...

The life of rich people.

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, feeling envious but not agreeing immediately.

As if he understood her concerns, Manager Liu immediately added, "There are not only me and them on the boat, but also some servants and boatmen. There are both men and women, so it won't hurt your reputation. If you are afraid to go alone, you can bring your family on board."

Bring your family...

Jiang Wan thought for a moment. It was impossible for her to leave the pharmacy when Anan was still not awake. Cousin, no, no, no, she didn't want to take her cousin on board with so many men.

aunt?

If my aunt agrees, then it's fine. Today we're going to discuss business. My aunt is interested in this area, and maybe I can learn something by listening to the conversations of the bosses.

Jiang Wan turned around to look at her aunt, and saw her putting the torn squid strips into the jar. Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind.

I heard from the shopkeeper Liu that some of his friends run bars and some run restaurants, and they are all related to food. That's why they want to order oyster sauce from me.

Snacks like shredded squid may not sell well in restaurants but they will definitely sell well in restaurants!

This is a perfect snack to go with wine or drinks.

Anyway, we are going there to negotiate a deal. We can negotiate for oyster sauce and squid shreds as well.

If the negotiation fails, there is still oyster sauce to sell, so it won't matter. But if the negotiation leads to a deal for squid shreds, that would be a pleasant surprise.

Jiang Wan came up with an idea in an instant.

"Manager Liu, please wait for me. I will discuss this with my aunt."

"Okay, okay."

The shopkeeper Liu is very nice.

How could it be bad? The oyster sauce is still in the hands of this little ancestor. The contract is about to expire and she still has to be coaxed to sign it. Looking at the previous experience of Fengweilou, the shopkeeper Liu dare not be careless.
