Over the past two days, after Zhang Xiaohui repeatedly prepared the dishes, they finally made more than sixty relatively satisfactory set meals. Jiang Shuya was also busy, accompanying Zhang Xiaohui to assemble everything. After buying the tableware and supplies, she contacted Jiang Shuting to set up a new online restaurant store.
Looking at the delicious dishes laid out on the table, Jiang Shuya swallowed hard, and the camera in her hand seemed to be out of her control. She was completely distracted by the overwhelming aroma. Zhang Xiaohui introduced the dishes while plating them.
"This is Yangzhou lion's head meatballs, garlic ribs, braised fish chunks, spicy chicken chunks, shredded pork with garlic sauce, braised pig's trotters, stir-fried pork, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, roast duck..."
After Jiang Shuya left a souvenir photo of each dish, Zhang Xiaohui served some seasonal vegetables, some stir-fried, some cold, and some pickled. Her pickled side dishes were absolutely amazing—sour, spicy, and crisp, refreshing and not greasy at all, and very flavorful.
Pickled side dishes include spicy and sour lotus root slices, radish strips, pickled cowpeas, pickled cucumbers, pickled chili peppers, pickled mustard greens, etc.
Next to the side dish was a plate of meat cake, which piqued Jiang Shuya's curiosity; "Is this meat cake also a dish here?"
This dish is a specialty of the North, and almost every household knows how to make it. However, if the recipe is slightly off, the taste will be very different. Only a true professional chef can perfectly prepare the best flavor. Jiang Shuya doesn't like to eat this, and she thinks it's not as delicious as the lion's head meatballs from the South.
"This meat cake, if the proportions are right, is a very appetizing dish. It's inexpensive, containing pork, starch, and five-spice seasoning. Pair it with two side dishes, and you can sell it at construction sites; the migrant workers there will love it." Zhang Xiaohui said, picking up a piece for Jiang Shuya to taste.
After taking a small bite, I found the meat cake to be soft, chewy, and flavorful, containing other unidentified spices with a strong meaty aroma. I couldn't help but give Zhang Xiaohui a thumbs up.
All the dishes were photographed, including the individual serving boxes and the set meals, which included a mix of meat and vegetables.
After discussing prices with Zhang Xiaohui, each set meal was priced between 13 and 25 yuan, and the fast food restaurant was named "Sister Hui's Gourmet Restaurant".
After taking all the photos, Jiang Shuya took her camera to a print shop and printed two thousand posters and brochures. Then, without stopping, she took her camera and USB drive to find Jiang Shuting and uploaded the photos to the online store.
It took me two more days to go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to apply for a business license for online food products and a food health certificate before I realized that I hadn't been to "Lida Shopping Mall" to pick up goods for a long time.
I glanced at the order Jiang Shuting sent. Fortunately, it was only recently after the New Year, and there weren't many people placing orders yet. I took this opportunity to show Jiang Shuhuai some information about the ordering and shipping process.
That day, Jiang Shuya showed Jiang Shuhuai around the two floors, and they managed to ship out all the goods that had been piling up. This whole process was incredibly easy for Jiang Shuhuai, a college student.
Seeing that he was doing it without any pressure, Jiang Shuya placed the restaurant flyer she had brought in his hand;
"Start distributing or posting them along the office area surrounding Lida, it's up to you. There are two hundred of them, and every single one must be of high quality."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuhuai pursed his lips and shook his head; "Sister, aren't you putting me in a difficult position? I'm embarrassed."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? There are plenty of college students starting their own businesses. If everyone were like you, how would the world's richest person be produced? Don't be afraid. We're all the same, with the same nose and the same face. Just be strong in your heart."
Besides, no matter how aloof you are, you still need to eat three meals a day, right?
Jiang Shuya urged him on, then quickly picked up a brochure and demonstrated how to hand it to a passing young couple. She greeted them with a smile and took the opportunity to introduce the featured dishes. Although the young couple was somewhat reluctant, they still accepted it and looked at it as they walked.
Jiang Shuhuai's eyes widened upon seeing this, and he retorted, "Is that acceptable?"
Jiang Shuya said, "That's right. We need to be opportunistic. When we encounter high-quality customers, we need to delve deeper, understand their preferences through communication, and suggest they order from food delivery platforms. They can browse Huijie's Food Shop homepage; the selection there is more comprehensive."
The two split up. Jiang Shuya found Wang Ziliang, and they rode in his delivery truck to the office building in Hexi.
Holding a thick stack of brochures, Wang Ziliang asked for some, saying he would take them back and have his colleagues distribute them, but Jiang Shuya disagreed.
"Ziliang, let's divide the work between these two office buildings. You'll handle area A, and I'll handle area B. Together, we'll take care of all the companies here that need catering orders."
Wang Ziliang stared at her in disbelief;
"No way! Cousin, are you really that confident? I mean, with all your energy and drive, why don't you just enjoy life? With Ah Xiao, he has everything. If he knew you were out in the sun all day, he'd be heartbroken."
It seems that Wang Ziliang knows everything. Although he also feels sorry for the two missing each other, he is also moved by his brother's deep affection. He will help if he can. He can also understand that after spending half a year with Jiang Shuya, he saw how hard she worked and how no one was there to help her. She must not be happy.
Jiang Shuya frowned slightly when Lin Moxiao was mentioned;
"Ziliang, there's nothing between Lin Moxiao and me. Everything about him has nothing to do with me."
Although Wang Ziliang knew that the ending for the two was complicated, he knew more or less about Lin Moxiao's character.
At least it shows his past behavior, and it really casts a question mark on whether his feelings for Jiang Shuya can last. Perhaps what we can't have is the best.
If Jiang Shuya really falls for him and agrees to be with him, what if he gets tired of her later? Will she be ruthlessly abandoned like his previous women? The thought sent chills down Wang Ziliang's spine; he couldn't accept it.
In short, he had to stand by Jiang Shuya's side. He wasn't the kind of person who would rebel for a chance, and he couldn't let that guy ruin him so easily.
He readily accepted the promotional brochure from Jiang Shuya's hand;
"Don't worry, cousin, I'll definitely send it out to you with high quality. See you here in two hours."
Yunshang Garment Company
Jiang Shuyue's design draft was inexplicably rejected again. After Zhou Yunhua's sarcastic remarks, she was furious. Ever since she started working here, nothing has gone smoothly for her.
She took a deep breath and glanced at the messages on her phone that hadn't come back yet, and couldn't help but wonder: What has Xiaoya been busy with lately? She's not answering the phone or replying to messages.
Jiang Shuyue glanced up at the tightly closed office door, which then opened, and President Xu and Zhou Yunhua walked out, their faces grim. Jiang Shuyue sensed something was wrong; President Zhou was about to unleash his fury again.
