Chapter 194: Slap in the Face
"Ah? Can I make a reservation? I'm worried I won't be able to buy it when the time comes!"
"There should still be some in the store now, right? Can't you make an exception?"
"I'd buy it for three times the list price!"
Everyone was immediately excited when they heard that this A-level energy soup would be on sale soon.
You know, high-end energy liquid is in short supply. Now that there is such a delicious soup that can replace high-end energy liquid, how can it not be popular!
Not to mention using it for family members, it would also be very face-saving to give it as a gift!
Faced with the customers' enthusiasm, Fielding maintained his formal smile. "Everyone, I'm truly sorry. If it weren't for President Jiang of the Gourmet Association coming to our restaurant for a rare meal, I wouldn't have the authority to order a portion in advance."
In other words, this is the only one you can see but not buy.
"President Jiang from the Gourmet Association? Although it may be a bit abrupt to say this, may I ask if you can sell me half of this soup?" An impatient male customer came up to Jiang Wei with determination in his eyes.
Jiang Wei had a sour face and thought:
If you knew it was abrupt you shouldn't have asked!!!
Jiang Wei had a bad feeling ever since Fielding took out the testing equipment.
Now, as the A-level energy came out, his face looked bad, very bad!
The Mer Group is releasing a new product containing Class A energy at this time, and it's a soup. Isn't this clearly going against the ancient cuisine restaurant that their Food Association is about to open?
Even if the ancient dishes they make taste good, the quantity may not be able to catch up with the new products of the Mer Group. According to the Imperial philosophy of advocating strength, the result of the confrontation can be imagined.
No wonder Fielding was so enthusiastic about sharing the so-called new products with him, and even emphasized that he was the president of the Food Association. After all, he was trying to use him to gain influence and slap him in the face!
In an instant, Jiang Wei's face turned from black to blue, and then from blue to red.
He even forgot that there was a big plug-in next to him.
At the dining table, Fielding, who was dealing with those anxious customers, caught a glimpse of Jiang Wei's expression out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but let a smug smile spread across the corner of his lips. Just as he reacted and was busy adjusting his mood, Ye Jiaojiao spoke.
"Huh?" Another ding sounded, and Ye Jiaojiao's tone was filled with confusion. As soon as she spoke, she attracted the attention of Fielding and the customers: "Mr. Fielding, is this device you brought malfunctioning? Look, after I put my food on it, it showed S-grade!"
Everyone looked over and saw that the soup that Fielding had just put on the energy detector was replaced by the Eight Treasures Cake made by Ye Jiaojiao.
Bazhen Cake is a therapeutic delicacy made with ingredients such as Poria cocos, lotus seeds, coix seeds, white lentils, Chinese yam, and Euryale ferox.
Among them, Poria cocos can strengthen the spleen and replenish the middle, calm the mind and soothe the nerves, and promote diuresis and eliminate dampness; while Gorgon fruit can replenish the spleen and stop diarrhea, nourish the heart and kidneys, replenish the middle and benefit the qi, nourish and strengthen, harmonize the stomach and regulate qi, and stimulate appetite.
It is suitable for people who pursue beauty and youth, daily health care, and those with weak spleen and stomach and congenital deficiencies.
The reason why Ye Jiaojiao made this Eight Treasures Cake was because of Norton's health. She thought that Norton was born with deficiencies and could try to make up for it. Besides, she had just made it last night and had not had time to send it to Charles and the others.
There is no doubt about the energy contained in medicinal food.
Ye Jiaojiao had made so many medicinal dishes before, and they were all tested by Charles.
As she expected, the energy detector gave an S-level appraisal.
Fielding rubbed his eyes in disbelief, his gaze darting back and forth between Ye Jiaojiao and the energy detector: "Something bad?"
"Yes, this is a pastry I made casually. I haven't had time to test it yet!" Ye Jiaojiao's appearance is deceptive, like a little angel, making people want to believe her words: "Your instrument must be broken."
When Fielding met Ye Jiaojiao's eyes again, he no longer felt that this lady was delicate and lovely as he did at first sight. Now he just felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
The pastries you casually make have S-level energy?
Isn't this really ironic?
What about him?
Should he just admit that the instrument is broken or rush to get slapped in the face?
"So the instrument is broken? Then my excitement was in vain."
"Tsk! I feel cheated."
"That's not right. If the equipment was broken, why would the manager admit it? Logically, he must think that this new product launched by Mer Group is truly A-level energy. Otherwise, why would he dare to bring it to the restaurant?"
"you mean?"
"No way! So the food this lady makes is real."
After analyzing the situation, the onlookers exchanged glances. The impatient man from before turned around and rushed to Ye Jiaojiao again. "Madam, what is this you made? Can you sell me one?"
"This is called Eight Treasures Cake. If you like it, I'll give you one. You don't have to buy it." Ye Jiaojiao didn't sense any malice from this man. Seeing that he was simply obsessed with high-energy food, she simply handed one over.
The portion is not large, just two pieces, and it comes in a lunch box.
"Thank you!" The man didn't expect that Ye Jiaojiao would send him S-level energy food as soon as she said so. He was stunned for a long time before he thanked Ye Jiaojiao solemnly.
Behind them, the onlookers who were a step slower also wanted to get closer to Ye Jiaojiao, but unfortunately, they were all scared away by Elena's cold eyes.
Everyone had to settle for the second best and moved to Jiang Wei.
Customer A: "Hello, President Jiang, I'm the head of the purchasing department at Baolei Energy Company. This is my business card. I hope we can make friends."
Customer B: "President Jiang, is this lady the chef of your association? I heard that your Gourmet Association is about to launch a new restaurant. Wouldn't this S-grade dish be your signature dish? Will it be sold to the public?"
Customer C: "I've never tasted S-grade natural food before!"
As things developed to this point, it was Fielding who became the one with a gloomy face.
Jiang Wei still had some sense of propriety. It was okay to have a minor conflict while dining at Vatti Restaurant, but it was not good to make a big deal out of it. So, he stepped forward before Fielding and said, "Sorry, I'm entertaining friends here. If you're interested in the new restaurant, you can follow the official blog of the Food Association."
Jiang Wei suppressed his laughter and tried his best to persuade everyone to leave in a less cocky manner. After everyone had left, he glanced at Fielding, who was still standing there. "Fielding, do you still have a tester in your store? How about we test it again?"
Fielding ignored Jiang Wei's heart-wrenching words and turned his gaze to Ye Jiaojiao: "Is this the food anchor who's been so popular recently?"
Perhaps because he was furious, Phil was looking at Ye Xiao without even trying to hide his gaze, which was faintly malicious. Ye Xiao frowned immediately and moved his upper body, trying to shield Ye Jiaojiao behind him, but Elena was faster than him. She took out her officer's certificate from her pocket and threw it directly into Fielding's arms.
"Since this gentleman recognized Miss Ye, why don't you get to know me too?" Elena stood up, her vigorous and iron-blooded aura overwhelming her. Fielding subconsciously took a few steps back. "Major of the Fifth Army, please give me your guidance."
Fielding: Any advice?
