Chapter 165 New Cooperation

Zhang Huai ate too slowly, and the others couldn't wait for his feedback so they took a few bites themselves.

The first bite is full of aroma, the aroma of squid meat and a very special fragrance. Mixed together, the more you chew, the more flavorful and fragrant it becomes.

The squid meat they usually eat is mostly crispy and chewy but more often smooth, tender and crispy, unlike this squid shreds which are really too chewy.

The cheeks of several people at the table were moving, but no one was swallowing.

The squid shreds are so fragrant, the meat is a bit dry but not tough. Although it is a bit hard to chew, this is also its advantage.

Zhang Huai and Fang Mingshan both realized something, and at the same time picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, and continued chewing.

Huo Changqi also thought of the benefits of squid shreds, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Counter Manager Liu was most familiar with Jiang Wan, so naturally he was the first to ask questions.

"Miss Jiang, did you make this squid shreds yourself?"

Jiang Wan nodded and asked them out of pretended curiosity.

"How do you guys think this tastes? Is it ok?"

“It tastes very good, and it will be even better if you drink it with wine.”

Fang Mingshan told the truth.

When drinking, people like to have some food to go with the wine. This squid shreds tastes very fragrant, is easy to chew and does not fall apart, it is the best for people who drink slowly.

Of course, non-drinkers will also like this snack.

He now wants to buy some for his family to try.

"Miss Jiang, are you selling these squid strips?"

Good man! On the road!

Jiang Wan decided to add a little more oyster sauce to Mr. Fang's meal.

She was very happy in her heart, but she looked calm.

"We don't have much squid shreds at home right now. If Uncle Fang likes them, the rest in this jar will be given to you."

Because it was difficult to fit into a large jar basket, Jiang Wan brought out small jars this time. She took out half of both jars, leaving less than half a pound, which was not much to give as a gift.

Hearing her words, the other people at the table felt sad.

Why didn't they speak first?

Fang Mingshan happily took the can without any hesitation. The main reason was that it was really delicious and he wanted to bring some back for his family.

After signing the supply contract and going to pick up the oyster sauce, I can buy some delicious food from Canglu City and send it to the girl. I'm sure she will like it.

Shopkeeper Liu watched the basket pass by him with his eyes wide open, feeling extremely sad.

Obviously, he was the one who was most familiar with Jiang Wan, but now Fang Mingshan had become much closer to her.

"Miss Jiang, you should still have a lot of squid shreds at home, right? When I went to your house just now, I saw a lot of them on the table."

After saying this, the shopkeeper Liu felt that there was ambiguity in his words, and he quickly explained: "I, I'm not taking it for free! I want to buy some! The children at home like to eat these snacks, and I think they will like this squid shreds too, so I want to buy some."

Huo Changqi suddenly thought of his good friend who loves food, and couldn't help but say, "I want to buy some too. Miss Jiang, can you sell me some squid shreds?"

Zhang Huai remained silent, immersed in his own thoughts. Jiang Wan actually wanted to hear what Boss Zhang had to say, but he seemed to have not figured it out yet.

It doesn’t matter. If you can’t do big business, you can still do small business. Judging from the reactions of several bosses on the ship, there is still a market for our squid shreds.

"Squid strips are meant to be sold. Since you uncles are interested, please wait for a while at the ferry when you return. I will deliver the squid strips to you on board."

"Okay, okay. How much is this?"

Jiang Wan paused, she hadn't decided on the price yet.

The price would be determined by the market. She had never done food tasting in the village or in the city, so she was unsure.

However, seeing the reactions of several bosses at this moment, she had some vague ideas in her mind.

"Well... this one costs ninety-nine cents per pound."

Ninety-nine coins...

Manager Liu, do you think this is a bit expensive?

But the words to buy had already been put forward, so he still had to buy it. He thought that he would only buy it this once, and at least he had to give Miss Jiang some face.

"Ninety-nine cents sounds like a lot, doesn't it? But it's really worth it! To make one pound of squid shreds, you need four to five pounds of fresh squid meat (actually three pounds), and you also need to prepare a large pot of sauce and add some very expensive spices. In such a hot day, you have to stay by the fire and watch it roast, and it takes a long time to cook a pot of squid."

Jiang Wan exaggerated and continued, "And a pound of squid shreds is a lot and can last for a long time. Look at this plate, it's full, only about half a pound."

Everyone's eyes followed Jiang Wan's words and fell on the plate.

Indeed, the plate is very full. If one person chews so many squid shreds, it would probably take him ten days or half a month to finish it...

My cheeks feel a little sore just thinking about it.

Zhang Huai stared at the plate of squid shreds, already imagining in his mind what it would look like to serve the squid shreds on a small plate from his own restaurant.

He can divide the plate on the table into about twenty dishes. Ten cents per dish is not too much, right?

Ten cents is considered cheap for such a delicious side dish.

Just now Miss Jiang said that there was about half a pound in the plate, so one pound could be divided into about 40 plates and sold for 400 coins!

You can earn 300 coins per catty.

This trade can be done!

Zhang Huai was very excited after he figured it out, but he didn't take the initiative to talk about buying squid strips. You know, the Huo family also has a restaurant business, and if he buys, Huo Changqi will definitely follow suit.

It’s better to wait until I get back and come to Lianjiagou tomorrow to have a good talk with Miss Jiang.

Maybe you can save some money~

Zhang Huai happily picked up another piece of squid shreds with chopsticks. It smelled so good...

Huo Changqi also silently took a bite with chopsticks and drank a cup of tea from time to time. It was a perfect match.

Although he usually doesn't care much about the sales in the restaurant, he can tell that this snack is very suitable for eating while drinking wine or tea.

The Huo family owns two restaurants and a teahouse in Cangsu. It's time to serve some new food.

But there are too many people here today, so it's hard to discuss cooperation. Let's wait until tomorrow, when I can go there myself and settle the squid shreds purchase.

This time I bought oyster sauce and added new food to the restaurant at home. My second uncle will definitely not nag me anymore.

Jiang Wan looked at the changing expressions of the people at the table, raised her eyebrows, and already had an idea in her mind.
