Chapter 196: Just Dreaming
"You? Are you bragging again? If you could get it, why would you wait until now?" Zhang Qiang didn't believe this at all.
He had already begun to have deep doubts about Zhang Man's words.
"Isn't that why you're not smart enough?" Zhang Man raised her hand and poked his head. "You know you need the formula, but don't you think of other ways?"
"Just say whatever you think. Don't keep your brother guessing." Mother Zhang became anxious when she saw that her daughter was keeping the secret.
She also wanted to know how to get the formula.
Seeing that her neighbor Aunt Li could earn dozens of yuan by making duck products for others, she was so envious that her eyes turned green.
But she despised that little money, she wanted big money.
What I want is the big money that my daughter calls “a thousand yuan a day”!!
"Okay." Seeing that everyone wanted to know, Zhang Man took the opportunity to say, "Oh, my appetite hasn't been very good these days, so I just want to eat some braised pork."
Zhang's mother was displeased when she heard this: "You have a poor appetite and you still want to eat braised pork? You greedy girl! Tell your brother what you have in mind."
"There's no meat. I don't want to talk about it." Zhang Man curled her lips.
"Here, here, make it for her." Zhang Qiang reached into his pocket, took out a few bills and handed them to Zhang's mother, "Buy her two pounds of pork belly and let her eat as much as she wants!"
Zhang's mother waved her hand: "Why would I need your money? Mom will go buy it. But she has to tell me the solution first."
Zhang Man waved at the two of them, motioning them to come over.
The three of them formed a circle, and she finally spoke, whispering, "If she doesn't give it to us, can't we just steal it ourselves? Doesn't Aunt Li work in the duck factory? Just ask her and we'll know."
"Oh, why didn't we think of it?" Zhang's mother slapped her head and scolded herself for being stupid.
Zhang Qiang stared at her with eyes wide open and pondered for a while: "This is not right... Aunt Li is not a fool. If the recipe is so easy to steal, can't Aunt Li just make duck products and sell them herself?"
"That's right." Zhang's mother felt that she was right again, "Then why doesn't she make duck products herself and sell them to make more money than working for the boss?"
"I didn't say it was easy to steal?" Zhang Man glared at him, "Xu Nuo treasured the formula so much that he would never let the people who were working on it know all the contents of the formula.
Every worker in the duck factory should master some of the content before they can carry out related operations.
Why don't we go ask Aunt Li how things are done there? Then we can find a few more people, spend some money to buy back the things they have, and piece them together, right?"
"Oh! Sister, you are really good! I underestimated you." Zhang Qiang thought this made sense, and patted Zhang Man on the shoulder. "If this works, we can do it together. You take half of the money and I take half of the money. How about that?"
Zhang Man said bluntly: "You should have given me half."
At noon, Zhang's mother was busy in the kitchen for a while and brought out a plate of fragrant braised pork.
Zhang Man invited her neighbor Aunt Li to come and eat together.
When Aunt Li heard that there was something delicious, her eyes lit up immediately, her face was full of smiles, and she kept saying, "Oh, how embarrassing!"
While saying this, he had already started walking and hurriedly followed Zhang Man into the house.
At the dinner table, Aunt Li picked up the chopsticks and picked up the braised pork, swallowing three pieces in one breath.
She ate too fast and choked, rolling her eyes and patting her chest in panic.
There was a hint of disgust in Zhang Man's eyes, but she still patted her on the back to help her calm down.
Aunt Li took a long time to let out a long sigh of relief, patted her chest and smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, this meat is too delicious, I couldn't help it and almost choked."
Seeing that she was fine, Zhang Man started chatting with her about her work: "Aunt Li, I heard that you work in a duck truck workshop. How do you produce ducks there? I'm quite curious."
Aunt Li is also a very smart person.
As soon as she heard this, she knew what Zhang Man was going to ask.
"Want the recipe?" She spoke bluntly.
"Yes." Zhang Man did not hide her intentions, "Aunt Li, can you do it?"
Aunt Li put down her chopsticks and said, "We can't get it. If we could get it, wouldn't we use the recipe to make duck products? Who in this city doesn't know that duck products are selling like hot cakes?"
"You work in the workshop every day, and you can't do this?" Zhang Qiang asked.
"The boss is very strict, trying to prevent us from stealing the recipe. Making a pot of duck requires several procedures, and we only know the work we are responsible for. I don't know anything else." Aunt Li said truthfully.
"Then can you help me find out how others do it? I really want to know."
Aunt Li snorted and laughed when she heard this: "That boss is really cunning. He can do whatever you can think of! He can think of much more than you can."
"What do you mean? Aunt Li, can you please stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us directly?" Zhang's mother was the most anxious and couldn't wait even a moment.
"That won't do! The boss has a rule that if we are found to be asking each other about something, we will be fired immediately. If someone reports it, the reporter can get a ten-dollar reward! I can't take that risk. I'm relying on this job to support my family."
No wonder! Zhang Man couldn't help but sigh: Lei Ming is such a cunning guy!
Based on what she had just learned, Zhang Man had some idea in her mind.
She then asked Aunt Li: "Can you tell me the seasonings and methods you use when you work? I promise not to tell anyone else."
When Aunt Li heard this, she looked embarrassed: "This... this is not good, right? The boss has clearly forbidden it, I dare not say anything."
"How about this? I'll give you 20 yuan as a reward for your information. How about that?" Zhang Man tempted Aunt Li with money. She was afraid that she would refuse again, so she said, "Don't worry. If I don't tell you and you don't tell me, your boss won't know about it."
Aunt Li felt that what Zhang Man said made sense: "Okay, it's okay for me to tell you. But I don't want money, I just want you to do me a favor."
"You say." Zhang Man agreed immediately.
"I heard that the third son of the Lu family is still unmarried, and my daughter is also old enough to find a partner. Can you help to make some connections and bring them together?"
When Zhang Man heard this, she sneered in her heart, thinking that Aunt Li was simply daydreaming.
How high is the vision of Lu Cheng, the third son of the Lu family?
He came from a good family and had a strong background, and he was a young talent with a bright future. How could her daughter possibly reach the level of someone like him?
You really want something stupid!
But Zhang Man remained expressionless, instead she nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Aunt Li, I'll make a note of this, and I'll definitely ask for you when I have the chance."
When Aunt Li heard this, she immediately smiled and thanked him repeatedly: "Oh, thank you so much! If my daughter can marry into the Lu family, it will be a great blessing from our ancestors!"
"Aunt Li, you're too polite. As neighbors, we should help each other. That recipe..."
Aunt Li immediately said, "Find a pen and paper, and I'll write it for you."
